episode 98 brad we did it yes 98 degrees uh i was in universal studios uh just a couple days ago you were in uh no i have not i want to i went for the first time it reminded me of one of the worst just experiences as a human on earth not going universal necessarily it reminded me of just like the worst thing i've ever done in my life you ever heard the phrase hell on earth no no universal wasn't bad it was great it reminded me of one of the worst, I guess, types of interactions you can have. Okay.

And that type of interaction is where someone brings up, Oh yeah, like Gandalf. And you say, Oh, I haven't seen Lord of the Rings. Oh, and then what do they do?

They ask you again, you haven't seen it. So like you haven't seen the whole trilogy or you haven't seen like, like any of them. No, I just like, I haven't seen it. And then they go one time, you haven't seen the whole trilogy or you haven't seen like like any of them no i just like haven't seen it and then they go one time you haven't seen lord of the rings are you more of a book reader or like what's happening here and that was me with harry potter oh all

day because they have a harry potter world the whole world is harry potter's oh wow and the whole time do i bet you're excited for some butterbeer huh oh you have not ever had it and then i say oh it's actually my first time universal okay but yeah yeah but you're excited for your first time like you mean like the first time at this universal like oh you mean like i was an adventure or you're used to the universal studios part no i meant no it's my first time here and i don't even know the butterbeer because i haven't seen them you haven't seen the movies. What? They get out. They like, they're like, you don't snipe at Carrington,

Jim. That's what it felt like. Well, no, I was thinking like they have like a backpack, like one of those like drawstring bags where they're like really frustrated, uh, or drawstring bags. They're like toting around and give me a wife's name.

Wife's name is Gladys. Gladys. Like Gladys, hold my bag. And she has the bag. And he's like, continuing to make eye contact with you As he's opening up his bag

And he takes out his plastic Like toy wand And just looks at you And just goes Expel the armus Uh oh Ooh I think this tight beat Means that it's going down

With some random thoughts And white meat too Midwest best friends Eating fast food on repeat So come along Let's have some fun And go ahead Get on your feet because it's a ghost

so that was uh my time at Studios. It was it was interesting. Wait, so. Oh, gosh, I just. Hey, you said the Wolf of Wall Street thing to yourself. I don't have COVID. I just got swapped. Just got swapped. So is the Universal Studios similar to we'll bring that joke back later.

Is Universal Studios similar to Disney World where there's like multiple like parks within the park that you can go to? I guess Universal has two. Okay. One of them is called Universal Studios, which is about the most confusing thing you can do. Yeah. At least that's the way I understand it.

You want to go to Disney World? Yeah. Which one do you want to go to? Disney World or Magic Kingdom? Like, yeah. Okay. And way I understand it. You want to go to Disney World? Yeah. Which one do you want to go to? Disney World or Magic Kingdom? Like, yeah. Okay. And maybe I'm wrong. Someone who's lived in Orlando their whole life is like, no.

You idiot. You don't see Harry Potter and you don't know the two theme parks? But that's how it was explained to me. Okay. So there's Universal Studios and then there's Islands of Adventure. Okay. Or maybe Adventure Island. Okay.

One of the two. So did you have to get tickets to one or the other? I think it's like a $20 upcharge to get both and did you no they they paid for me to go oh that's right that's right oh yeah and follow up last week i thought maybe i was going by myself i went with whatever the opposite of by yourself is okay the opposite is you go on a charter bus uh with a bunch of middle school kids and then you get put in charge of a small group it was the opposite okay we gotta talk talk talk about the whole thing yeah yeah yeah no you okay uh that is the opposite of yourself it's the opposite of yourself no free like you were like all right we're all

gonna meet back here at 1 30 at the cinnabon okay okay guys don't forget uh give me all your numbers and why don't i go and get your mom's numbers too right yeah how's your mom um wait is this did you bring this sorry i just noticed there's a bluetooth speaker here no this is harrison harrison loves this thing he does love it a lot loves this thing like like thinks it's like the coolest thing ever i think he might have some stock in jbl because he's always throwing it's not just like bluetooth speaker it's like hey i can go get my jbl if you want we can link up a couple jbls if you want like like everyone should know like what, what JBL. Like, I know what JBL is, but I don't think the average person's like, yeah, hey, you got a JBL?

Like, people would be like, I don't know, do you need a pack of gum or a speaker? Like, but he got this for Christmas and, like, brings it with him more places than most people bring wireless speakers. Honestly, it's a pretty, like, admirable quality, though. Like, there's something just, like, cute. Maybe cute's not the right word about someone who's like appreciates a gift yeah like he got a gift and like he is utilizing loving it yeah it's nice he used in the shower i've heard him a few times like bump it it does bump it does bump for a little guy so he's he's brought to pickleball i think before i think yeah anyway better than gunner's bluetooth speaker gunner this is like the most Gunner

thing you've ever seen in your life. Gunner has a, an emoji, uh, Bluetooth speaker, but guess what emoji it is. You would never guess it's the poop emoji and Gunner just thinks it's awesome and hilarious. And it plays things like so quietly, like, you know, like if there's a nice breeze that day, you probably can't hear the speaker. You just hear the like there's any yeah any kind of like yeah touching of your skin with the breeze so anyway okay so what am i talking about middle school so first of all is a middle school conference specifically it was middle school and high school okay but i think i'm guessing by the time you're a high schooler you've just been a universal lot and maybe it's like a silver dollar city thing for us i don't know there's weren't as many high schoolers okay involved so yeah i get told uh that me and this

other guy so it wasn't just me me and pastor tyler are going to be in charge of like these six eighth grade boys okay it's like all right you know whatever i'm down i've done this a million times before and i will say this is at the end of i I've been waking up early this week. Really? I mean, early to fly there. You texted me one time. Oh, you texted that screenshot of Reddit for the Chiefs. Oh yeah, that's great. It's at 5.45 in the morning.

And I was like, with you, you never know. It's like, is he awake, about to go to bed, or awake about to start his day? So you were awake starting your day at 5.45. I was starting my day at 5 45 i was starting my day super early what like three or four days in a row and then the last day so after the whole youth conference is over i've spent you know a lot of energy time doing all this then the universal day bus is rolling out of the church at 6 a.m eastern time why so i woke up at what is essentially 4 a.m central time like when I was going to bed last week. Now I'm waking up.

So with full, full nocturnal, basically. You went full circle, I guess is what that is. 12 hour switch. Uh-huh. And yes, we load up this bus. Why did it leave so early? Just to take advantage of the entire day there? We were in West Palm.

So that was like two and a half hours away from Orlando. Oh, OK. So I don't know any. Yeah. The geography down there. Yeah. I was confused, too. And I didn't. Sometimes I just imagine like anything in Florida is like really close. Yeah. That's like a J hours away from orlando oh okay so i don't know any yeah the geography down yeah i was confused too and i didn't sometimes i just imagine like anything in florida is like really close yeah that's like a jbl away right one jbl maybe two jbls away one jbls charge away like it

could definitely hold the charts the whole time it's so yeah we woke up early and you know it was kind of a loud bus at first but you know me i was able to nap i was able to nap on that bus can't recline the seats no problem no problem up nap. But we get there and there's some sort of confusion. I get separated from pastor Tyler and his group. I thought he told me I was in charge of these kids, but now he's wandering off. Wait. So, but I give him a bit of a doubt. I'm like, oh, he probably had like, he's kind of a charge. Like something must've happened. He had to go tend to that. Right. Hey, you know, leave the 99 to go after the one sure you know i'll stay loyal to these kids yeah apparently these weren't my kids but i'm rocking with them i don't even know if they were in our bus i don't know what if they

even go to church yeah it's met him met him with like a couple urinals down and i was like you want to hang out later hey kids the kids like i don't know about this you ever met a youtuber before all right let's go on the whole are you juggling josh's friend let's go on the hulk together come on what's never mind i was about to say he wants to get smashed that's that's the wrong not really for kids um so i'm rocking with these kids that aren't mine for about an hour and a half and it was just very exhausting yeah they were just they weren't wanting to hang out and talk or no they wanted to it was like an hour and a half long q a session oh really like like oh because you that's right because you were already like up in front so like you had credibility with these guys yeah okay um so they were what were they wanting to be like on the whole time or like

it was just a lot it was like i going to a theme park is like nonstop recording a podcast the whole time. I realized that on Tuesday. OK, you know, just you're in line the whole day. Most of your day at a theme park is just waiting in line talking to your friends. Right. And when you don't know anyone, it's just a lot, a lot of words going out. Anyway, about 1030 a.m. I'm really regretting.

Why did I say yes to come to Universal Studios? I woke up so early. I could be back in Kansas City right now. Did they give you an idea that you would be by yourself? Like when they said, like, you to coming to Universal Studios? I woke up so early. I could be back in Kansas City right now. Did they give you an idea that you would be by yourself? Like when they said, like, you can go to Universal Studios? I just think it was more just like a lack of information and also me lack of clarifying. Like I never asked. You know, I was like, oh, I'm okay with just being in the dark.

I didn't care. I guess maybe they just said, and you can stay an extra day and go to Universal Studios. Or we could pay for you to go to Universal Studios. I was like, oh, I've never been. Like, oh, okay. We'll get you a ticket then studios or we could pay. I was like, I was offered like, I was like, Oh, I've never been like, Oh, okay. We'll get you to take it then. Absolutely.

It sounds like great. And maybe they did say something and I forgot about it. So sure. 10 30 AM was the low point, but then one of the dads came and like took over for me with these kids. Oh, big daddy. And so then I went and met back up with pastor Tyler.

Okay. And then the day just got better and better from that point. So then we hung out for a while, wrote some rides, and then I'm just walking in the middle of the islands of adventure. And then I run into a huge ghosty Izzy. Yes, dude. Yeah. That was crazy. Fun to see on the story. And then once we started talking, I was like, Oh, you're like, Oh, you're the Izzy who's left like three voice memos. You're the Izzy. Yeah. Oh, I know your brother. And he's the one who did this, this. So I never really connected with

the ghost hunters fan like that before where it's like oh i know your name because of like how involved you've been right like we have we have like a small friendship already yeah like i know a couple things about you right she knew a few more things about me right you know she's like how's harrison's new job but you know how the vibes you know like wow i really forget how much i say on this podcast right but that But. That's awesome. Yeah, that was super fun to get to hear. So, did you guys just talk, or did you guys ride rides and, like? We talked for, like, 20 minutes, just out and about. And then I'm like, what are we doing?

If we're going to talk, we should be waiting in line, at least. Yeah. If we're going to be talking. So, then we went and rode the Hulk. Didn't end up riding the Hulk with the boys. Oh, okay. The line was too long at the beginning. We rode Doctor Doom instead.

See, I don't even know the rides. Yeah. What's Doctor Doom? I don't know. I'm, like, in line looking at all the, you know universal disney plays like that i mean they do a phenomenal job of decorating the design the details right and i'm looking at it being like i've never seen this are they making this up i don't know if dr doom is like the frankenstein thing like oh is that the doctor's name or is it like this warrior iron man looking thing is he dr doom wait is

frankenstein in there am i dr doom oh no frank yeah i don't think frankenstein's involved oh i'm just saying how like a lot of people think that the monster is frankenstein but like no that's the name of the doctor oh yeah oh i see what you're saying sorry yeah weird reference well doom was like a big video game back in the day was it that didn't know that yeah we're smart guys we know just enough to know that we don't know anything yeah i feel like doom was like a really big, like, like the first like RPG game ever. Basically. What's RPG?

Role playing game. Role player game. Something like Halo, GoldenEye, like all this stuff. Like before all that was Doom. It was like when we were 10. So. Oh, cool. It was before our time.

Maybe it was that. I don't know. Either way. I don't know. Doctor Doom. Doctor Doolittle. Was it? Oh, there were animals

eddie murphy was doing the voiceover work for everything shrek you're a donkey shrek so anyway i rode a ride or two with izzy and her friend which is kind of cool i put it on our story but izzy was the one who left us a voice memo probably five six months ago there was no maybe longer than that nine months ago it was like was like, Hey, going to college. What are some tips you can give me on how to, what are some pickup lines to meet a friend in college? And so we did all that and gave her some, you know, Hey, did it hurt when you fell from

best friend heaven? Yep. Yep. Yada, yada. Tennessee. Cause I'd like to see where you're from. What part of Tennessee? Yeah.

I have some family there. Yeah. Dang. We're funny. Yeah. Gosh, that's good. That's good. It's funny then, funny Yeah. I have some family there. Yeah. Dang, we're funny. Yeah, we are. Gosh, that's good. That's good. It's funny then, funny now. I'll tell you what, man.

That's a good, nice. She had multiple really good voice memos. I forget the other one, what it was, but yeah, she brings the heat. She knows how to send a voice memo in. How do you meet? And so she was with her like new college best friend, like they're going to be roommates and everything. And I was like, you're welcome.

How'd you meet? Yeah. what line did you use which one did you do tennessee did you go did you go nashville on them that's fun so it's fun about the time we get done riding a ride then i text my friend lindsey who's like hey surprise came to universal uh let's hang and then i'm like in the middle of like okay i'm kind of supposed to be in charge of these like right fifth or eighth grade boys yeah also just ran into these new friends yeah like definitely feel like i should be hanging out with them yeah but also at the same time i am so tired like i have had it which we'll get into what the previous two days were like okay you know i've walked i went back and look i walked 20 000 steps i think that day universal i woke up at 4 a.m central time

i felt bad for is every told i was like i'm sorry you're meeting me like this i'm just like so exhausted and i've been in the sun all day yeah and yeah i had three krispy kreme donuts for breakfast which were good but like that's all i'm running off sustain you yeah 20 000 steps that's all i have right now oh man and so i hope i was my somewhat normal self for did they give you like direction on what it looks like to watch or like to be in charge of these kids no but i told him i'd worked in full-time youth ministry so i think because part of me is like maybe you're just like in charge of like checking in on them i don't know if you have to like walk around with them all the time you know maybe but i think they're i think if you do that just assuming like yeah they'll be fine like that's a bad idea so yeah i

didn't just want to let them lose right the. The vibe was that I should stay with them. Yeah. Okay. So, uh, so did you take all six of your boys to go meet Lindsay? All right, boys,

pack it up. Let's show you what a college girl looks like. It's about time you learned you want some Q and a, so she'll give me some good answers. Uh, that's good stuff. Yeah. Lindsay is my friend who I met at a sonic in omaha and then went to

kawaii with okay a few months later so and then you know naturally you go from sonic kawaii universal studios yeah yeah you met lindsey i'm just remembering this we left bow on the doorstep oh that was that girl i forgot that was great oh yeah i met her for like two minutes oh i forgot about that that was a crazy morning we were having saturdays at the old house where we have where isaac make latte makes lattes for our friends on saturdays and isaac ranley has all these friends from minnesota come in slash liberty university i think it was just like a swarm of like six college canada friends yeah and then you were over for some reason you and katherine hattie and beau were also over was that the same day go ahead keep going I think I mean this sounds like a good story and in the middle of that I'm like oh my friend

Lindsay's in town she's gonna come over and so then we all hid and then we would just put newborn baby Bo at the front door yeah he could sit up right but that was about it and he just sat there and yeah the door was like the the first door was open but the storm door was not so she could just see glass to this baby. She's like, I think this is where I'm supposed to meet Jake. I'm like, yeah, come on in. She actually handled it pretty well. Yeah, she did.

She was just like, hi. Those are the kind of pranks we like to pull. Just simple ones like, hey. Leave your baby at the door, prank. Take your newborn and make him expose to strangers, prank. Do a Q&A when new born in a college girl prank oh man yeah but she was she was pretty cool that yeah i was like all right i gotta go see ya oh yeah then you dipped yeah yeah but lindsey's cool so then she brought her and her

friend and so i went with lindsey and her friend just briefly but then we met back up with izzy and her friend and whatever i just tried to be a people pleaser all day and see all these people and hang out with everyone that I feel like I was supposed to do. Right. What was the best ride? Oh, dude, I rode this Harry Potter ride, which by the way, have you seen Harry Potter? Oh, yeah. Dang it.

I've only seen the first four. You've only seen the first four? I think there's more than four. I don't know. I think the fourth one had like two parts to it or something. Maybe. And then they came out with some like secondary movie that was like Harry Potter. Mockingjay. Yes, that was it.

Yes. Are you, are you going to the tree? I bet you have seen Hunger Games. That does seem like it's up your alley. I definitely saw the first two. Did they make a third movie that's a good question yeah once you once you like have the plans of going for more than two it's like the third one's just not going to work out very well just letting you know like you know

what i mean shrek 3d come on not not even gonna try it you know it's just like like but people that are fans are gonna watch them no matter what so just go for it i think yeah something about it being the third because toy story 3 wasn't that great but then toy story 4 i think was better never saw it saw toy story 3 though and cried it was a lot like prison break i gotta go in to break out my close friend oh i watched like the first part of that there was like a there's like a spoon spork i think that was number four that's what i'm saying oh sorry oh i know i saw i saw three i saw three three break four is spoon yes spoonie or whatever yeah you get spoon watching number

four that's right katherine and i were having a lot of fun watching it the seats go all the way down all the way down she drives a green camry that part's so funny in the office when he says that because jim like responds and cusses like right away until he like bleeps it out almost immediately it's so funny oh man justin put it in what kind of cars to drive she drives a green cam right and the seats go all the way down all the way down yep yep what are we talking about uh best ride it was harry potter oh that's right that's right that's impressive you can always remember like i because every time i ask that i generally don't know like where how i think i visually see like the road timeline yeah and then and then there's always like like all these like billboards on the side of the road i'm like hey let's talk about this billboard but we still guys

keep driving billboards are not how expensive are billboards like could we get one in kansas city like listen go to our podcast it's kind of funny should we fundraise for that it's like crowdsource that'd be really fun I don't know I don't know how expensive my thought is like a thousand dollars a month I'll talk to the plumber's daughter yes I'll say plumber's daughter the Damien Rice song no somebody's gonna get that

joke it's gonna be good it's not me not you you haven't seen any of the Damien Rice you don't know Damien Rice that was the song we talked about way long time ago has a key change in it. It's like, oh, this key change. Yeah, Flower's Daughter by Damien Rice. Those are the two most annoying human interactions.

When the key change is coming and you're in a car with some friends and then when you haven't seen Harry Potter and they keep asking you. So the coolest ride was, and I'd ridden one of these type of rides before, maybe a couple of times. Once it was a brand new ride at Disney World, this avatar ride where it's kind of like a

simulator, but this was just like very well done. Very next level. It was awesome. Made you feel like you were in there or what? I kept trying to like look down and just like, where am I in the scope of like this building in this earth? Like, am I upright right now? Like I've

completely lost myself. And it was like, okay, they let me have my phone in my pocket. I didn't have to take my stuff out, but I like, I've got to be upside down. I mean, I swear I'm upside down. Like, is this going to fall out? Like if my phone falls out, how far is it going to drop? I mean, I was pretty distracted the whole time. It was just like, it did a very good job of like, just confusing you. And was it like a, like you were harry potter like was it from the pov of harry potter or no i was my quidditch i was my own uh quitty oh you're quitting i would chase his broom on my broom oh yeah but it's kind of like an fpv drone honestly we were soaring really soaring there's not a muggle

that we can't beat in Quidditch. It's a golden snitch. That's something I've been working on for a long time now. You have? Yeah. So that ride was cool. Speaking of something that I prepared for a long time, I learned on Monday morning as I was walking in to the church that I was leading a couple of breakout sessions that day. Oh, my gosh.

You had a fun time. It was a big surprise. Someone told me that. Breakout sessions, huh? Yeah. I was like, man, okay. I didn't know that. I'm excited to hear what I have to say.

Yeah, I was going to say, let me think about the things that, uh, you could talk about. Like what were they going to, first of all, what's the connection with the Florida church? So pastor Tyler, Tyler, Tyler was, he's good friends with Aaron bowling. Okay. Aaron Powell came to see me and Trey live at the West Palm and prof like in November, December with Aaron with there. So I met him afterwards and met all their friends and whatnot. And then about a month later, he hit me up and was like, dude, I don't know if you remember me, but we'd love to come. We'd love to have you come down to my church and be the youth

guy for a weekend. So that's the connection. He's the man. Pastor Tyler, shout out. in overall, the trip was great. There's a few, you know, just things that didn't get communicated. And it was fine. That's classic ministry, man. And that and that's the thing i was like i'm not even really that phased by this i know this happens i've been in this kind of stuff like it happens so yeah i find out i'm leading a breakout session and they'd already given me a prompt and it was how uh how

jake uses comedy to advance the gospel okay plus tips and tricks on how to be funny. Oh. So I was like, oh, let me, where do I keep my tips and tricks? Let me find that booklet that I have. My tips are in my back pocket. My tricks are in the left front pocket. I think I left my tips and tricks at home. Shoot. Oh, man.

Yeah. Let me just go over tips and tricks on how to be funny. How do you be funny? I was like, okay, have a sarcastic dad. Watch The Office a lot in high school. Right. Like the most intangible thing don't be too good looking because then you won't feel like you have to rely on your personality right you want to be right in the sweet spot yep you can still bag a dough but you need a

personality to do it oh man that was what the whole message was right no i didn't uh so so did you do the same breakouts that was one breakout session i just did back to back there's kids have to go to two so so the advancing the gospel and being funny were two different ones. No, sorry. That's all one. Okay. It's all wrapped in one beautiful bow. You see the same one twice.

Yeah. Essentially. But I bet you did not do the same one twice. I mean, they were kind of similar. Were they? I mean, then again, I just see you being like, and that was pretty fun, but I think I could do it better if I did it this way. If I had other material, I would have done it again.

But I mean, I basically just kind of told my life story and and just my how i got to be in this place i'm in now because you know i know 80 of the kids in the room want to be a youtuber someday and that's what they're there for they want to hear about that they want to ask and then i did you know heavy on the q a at the end yeah that's about it so let's do some cues let's do some a's yeah and it was it was still pretty fun but it was one kind of downer of it. I was a little worried I wasn't gonna be able to record the podcast this week because I just knew my voice was gonna be gone. So I'm in this decent-sized classroom.

There's 400 kids at this thing, 15 breakout sessions. I'm like, okay, that's about 25 per session. That's not too bad. Well, some of the other sessions are, why is there evil in the world? The kids are like apologetics yeah we're gonna go to the youtuber how to be funny or how to find yeah justification and evil yeah yeah right so had some pretty full classrooms i think it was like 80 the first one and like 140 the second one

what yeah i was trying to feed the 5000 with no microphone no mic so that was the thing i'm having to like yell my life story for about 35, 40 minutes. Okay. And then do Q and A's. And I was just like, man, I don't want to talk to anyone for a week. No, dude, I get that. That's yeah. That's how it was.

Did you get that way at camp? Did you lose your voice at camp? I always said, I think my voice got stronger when I do programs. Like my first summer programs, I lost my voice and then I didn't ever again. My first summer at camp, not on programs. i lost my voice and then i didn't ever again my first summer at camp not on programs i lost my voice hard like to the point where i like could not barely say anything like to the point where the assistant director like basically gave me a two four for free like just like go rest yeah i don't think it was a whole two four but maybe it was like 12 hours he's like go to cafe paris or is that what it's called vintage paris yeah vintage paris

greatest greatest coffee shop in branson get you a cough drop oh yeah he's like he's like, go to Cafe Paris. Or is that what it's called? Vintage Paris. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Vintage Paris. Greatest coffee shop in Branson. Get you a cough drop. Oh, yeah. He's like, get this kind of tea and just hang out and don't talk to anybody. Because I was like screaming so much. And the year, like my freshman year before I worked at camp, I could sing so well and so high. And I have never been able to sing as high ever again. You like did permanent damage to your notes.

Yeah, because I was getting into it the whole time. That's too bad. I know you need like one of those freak things to happen where like you're working on your car and you get electrocuted and now you can sing high again. Now I'm back. Yeah. That's what you need.

Yeah. I used to sing a lot of cold play, like pretty high notes and stuff. I can still sing. I still have a decent range, but anyway, what I've definitely lost my voice so long since I've seen this movie. I kind of forget the plot of it.

What was the plot of the movie? The rookie? How did he all of a sudden just be able to throw faster? Did something happen to him? I don't know why I can't remember now. Rookie. No, I don't think. I don't know.

I don't think that ever. That's that's not the thing in the rookie. You're thinking rookie of the year. No, the rookie. He like he like automatically. Dennis Quaid. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But he could all of a sudden throw better.

Was he just throwing like way faster once he got older I don't know I don't think so I think that's how the movie goes oh really but it's just not a freak act I don't know though we should watch that sometime Dennis Quaid what happened to you dude what happened to you no he broke his arm and then he got he snapped the wrist

and he says funky butt loving Rosenhutner yeah what a movie oh man so And he says, funky, but love it. Rosenhutner. Roenbacher. Yeah. What a movie. Oh man. So, well, okay. So you did all those things.

How was actually the, uh, like the showing the stage stuff? Yeah, dude, it was good. It reminded me just so much. Like we should try to do that together. Yeah. Honestly, like we should actually try. It's just so like, I feel way more comfortable doing that. Entertaining a group of students that I do stand up comedy comedy right now yeah so much you know i don't even get an ounce of nerves for that i'm just like amped like it's just going and i just i don't know i've

just done it so much that i just feel really comfortable and it's so fun and they were i will shout out to family church and west palm the people that hosted me they were creative name, by the way, too. They were very, uh, very awesome. Nice. And that might've been the best I've ever been treated in my entire life. I mean, they acted like I was some mix of like Steve jobs and Kevin Hart. Like anytime I had like a moment away from kids, like pastors would pull me aside and just like one, either butter my biscuit or two, just be like, Hey, we, I mean, you've really shown us what's possible with youth programming. We've never seen anything like this. You know, there was one, uh, one, you know, was asking me like, Hey, I love just talking to

people who just highly successful people like yourself. Like, Oh, he's like, what kind of habits do you do in a day that makes you so successful? I'm like, oh, you chose the wrong person. I got nothing for you. You're like, my middle name's habits, brother. I mean, I could say that word one more time. I don't even know if I understand the meaning of it. Right. I just felt so bad.

I can't even answer these people's questions. I like that he asked, though. It was cool. Yeah. These people were just so nice and just so, I don't know, encouraging to me. I was like, thank you, guys. This is awesome. Maybe you're less grumpy if you live in a warm climate all the time. You just

naturally more affirming. Yeah. If you're in shorts, it's hard to be rude in shorts. It's hard to be rude in a pair of bird dogs. Those are shorts, right? I think so. Yeah, I was in shorts all the time and it was nice. Yeah. Oh, it's good there. I got sunburned. And you came back and it's nasty. Is my neck still sunburned a little bit? A little bit. A little bit

of sunny. I think a little bit. Yeah. A little bit of sunny. I can love that. Yeah. A little bit. Sorry, that's my foot. Oh, no. I think it was on the cord. We're good. We're good.

We're good. So they were great. Yeah, being on the stage was just fun. Just fun to like flex that muscle a bit with youth, you know. Yeah, dude. You don't even have to be as funny as you just have to be fun. Just like be high energy. Right. You know, there was a part.

One of the last things I did on stage monday night uh we had some chick-fil-a gift cards to give out you know you know we're kind of throwing with people in the front i'm like so people in the back deserve these cards too so i like took the card from the plastic that it came in and then so that we could really like chuck it to the back and then i just knew i've done enough youth stuff i was like you say anything with enough energy they're gonna love it yeah and i was like I still have this plastic though. Who wants the plastic? Kids rushed to the stage. So I'm like hold on I rip it now. I got two things of plastic I'm like throwing it out right now. See it's not going anywhere

I have from are they going behind me and like this wrestling match like over the plastics are tapping like oh, what have I created? Okay, sorry. Yeah should have done that but it's just so fun to just know like this has got to like yeah people are gonna love it there's just energy who wants the blast excitement come on you're not entertained by the plastic i also gotta say i missed you big time did you any time i go and do anything with anyone else yeah i'm like dang i miss the rapport i have with brad right we could have we could have torn it up man can you imagine if if we would have had the plastic together dude there was one time so there was a magician there as well um but sorry i wasn't supposed to introduce him as magician

oh perception artist oh sure good job yeah very good family church didn't remember that when i was on the stage though because he gave me a lot wow it's magic just like harry potter which i haven't seen don't ask me about it he like gave me all this stuff to introduce him and i remembered everything else except for perception entertainer what did you say perception artist artist i believe okay he's like i want you to introduce me and say that i am a missionary i'm an evangelist i'm a pastor i'm this isn't this but also i am okay whatever and I just couldn't remember the last thing. It's like, and not only that guys, but he's also give a big, it's Sean Emery and you're going to see all about what he, something with perceptive is in the word. He'll tell you about it.

Okay. So you didn't use the word magic. No, I do not to God's magic has been blessing him for years. Give it up for God's witchcraft. Come on down. He's going to come up for Steven, the wicked. He's going to cast some spells on all you guys. You're going to love it. Man spells for the Lord spell check.

That's fun though. I'm sorry. I wish I could have been there as well, but then you tell me these stories and I think I am a little bit half and half on me wishing i was there they were crazy crazy long days yeah i mean fun but i mean just either on a stage or like around kids yeah you know the whole time for the most part that's crazy so yeah it's fun though like being in front of the crowd like that's how i felt with the k-life thing that we did yeah even though that was like what 45 50 kids at most? Yeah.

It was just fun to like have that interaction, like that immediate reaction to your stuff that you're doing, you know? Because we're getting kind of used to not, you know, getting any kind of reaction. Right. We just have to wait until Monday morning to check the YouTube comments.

Yeah. Yeah. And who knows if people are, yeah, enjoying it even from the YouTube comments. Which I do want to pull up later. We'll go into it. I feel like we got a lot and quality and quantity of the YouTube comments this week.

Is that right? I want to try to read some off later, but... I've looked at... Yeah, I think there were like 50 at one point when I looked. So I'm sure there's even more. There's even more. Holy cow. I helped Scott move this week.

Oh, yeah. I kind of told him I could. Yeah, that was cool. That was cool how you guys all did that. That was awesome. I was working so hard, though. I know you were. On that Bachelor video. Oh, that's right. That was cool how you guys all did that. That was awesome. I was working so hard, though. I know you were. On that Bachelor video.

Oh, that's right. That's what you were doing. That was the main thing. And on top of editing that, Trey was also like, hey, we got a last minute brand deal for Jameson Whiskey. Keep him over Friday at 1130. Okay. So I was like, oh, that's right when I was planning on being at Scott's house.

Yeah, it was fine. It was just me and Scott and Luke. Shout out Luke. Prime lending Luke. LukeHoglund.comke luke hoagland.com baby which is pretty sweet uh luke's in us a screenshot yeah pretty cool shout out to i don't remember shout out to you you know who you are a realtor uh who we don't know but she listened to the podcast was like hey uh i'm always looking for more lenders luke let's work together

right so awesome plant that seed for any other realtors listening. Luke, Oakland.com. Hook, Luke up, hook, Luke up. Hashtag hook, Luke up,

hook, look up. Hash hashtag. It's kind of a mad gap. It's a, it's a Swedish, it's a Swedish way of cleaning. And it's also a great way to find good prime lending people like Luke.

It's prime. Um, anyway, it was just me, Scott, Luke, Oakland.com. And,

uh, his wife, Sam, Sam, uh, anyway, it was just me, Scott, Luke, Kogler.com and, uh, his wife, Sam, Sam, uh, just, just conveniently like hurt her back a few days before moving. That makes him like cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool. And so I get there and Scott, I think the original plan was that Scott was going to have the whole van, the whole truck, like loaded with boxes. And we were just going to unload the boxes. Um, but it was classic like moving thing. Like, yeah, we actually couldn't fit, um, everything in the night before. So we still have to unload a few things from this truck and then

we'll go get the boxes from this other place and they'll bring it back here. I was like, Oh, cool, cool, cool, cool. He's telling me about this. They have belongings at three different houses. Yes. There was, there was grandpa's I forget Frank. Was it Frank Scott? Grandpa Frank. Uh, yeah, his mother-in-law and then just the truck is the only three places we went. Um, but anyway, so he's like, Oh yeah, we have just a few things to move out of this truck and then we'll go get the boxes. So unloaded the dresser. He's like, this will probably be the heaviest thing we move all day. I was like this is nothing um so did that no problem and i was like and then we went and got his boxes from grandpa frank's house grandpa frank awesome guy you should like his his basement is like the most grandpa thing you've ever seen in your life like

it's like like panel walls probably six seven deers you know deer heads in there deer deer deer i'm imagining like frank barone from everywhere that was running a little bit a little bit honestly and he he had a walker because of his he just had a surgery or something he had a boot on he didn't want to help you guys move no exactly had a walker um but the coolest thing was a he had a boat in his garage which was just cool cool grandpa thing to do yeah uh b had like, his garage was meticulously like organized, which I, you know, game recognized game. And, but he had this whiteboard that had every single like maintenance record, like most recent maintenance record of his cars and his vehicles and stuff on it. Like it was like tires, 177,000 oil, 192,000. And I was like, that's impressive and amazing. So good for Frank. I like him. Uh,

this is classic, like suburban, um, suburban us, Luke and I both, like, as we were moving, there was like this little plastic, it wasn't even that little, it was a pretty long plastic case. And, um, I, at one point it was like, Scott, is that, uh, is that grandpa Franklin? Does he have a, is he a trombone player or something? What is that? And he's like, Nope, that's, that's his rifles. I was like, okay, okay. And then Luke comes in later.

He's like, Hey, you play an instrument or what is this? Just two kids from a life that not knowing much about guns. Uh, that's a big flute. Holy cow. You must store a lot of piccolos in there.

Maybe a bassoon. I don't know. Oh yeah. But sooner here or there, huh? So, um, anyway, we helped them move all this stuff and it was fine. I don't know. Oh yeah. But sooner here or there, huh? So, um, anyway, we helped them move all this stuff and it was fine. It wasn't anything too crazy, but halfway

through we stopped for pizza. Big mistake. Should have, should have used pizza as the motivation at the end. Uh, you know, and so second half of the move was just a sluggish time. I was like, I was like about to stop at one point. I was like, I'm getting tired. Cause it's just me, Luke and Scott and Scott's wife and Scott's sister were also there helping a little bit. But, um, anyway, it's just, it was busy times, but, um, three different conversations came, uh, funny, funny conversations came from this. First of all, as we were leaving grandpa's house, um, Scott, you know, we were like looking and I was like, wow, look at that. That's a pretty big backyard over there. Kind of like observing this new city that I've never really been to by the city.

And he's like, yeah, actually the reason that's so big I think is because there's a sewage plant back there. Okay. I was like, Oh, cool.

Cool. Cool. Cool. Like that's what you want right in your backyard. It's good for real estate. And he's like, yeah. And grandpa Frank actually just like works there,

um, for fun. Like he does, like he just volunteers the sewage plant. And I'm like, what? He's like, yeah,

it's either sewage or water. I can't remember which one I was like, there's a big difference, bro. But apparently it is sewage. Okay. And he just works there because he's retired and he's looking for something to do.

And Luke goes, if I'm ever that bored during retirement, I have to work at a sewage plant. Just tell me Man, Marv dude, he's back! Marv dude! Marv! Are you getting a haircut? Yes! You have no hair! Show everyone your hair right now on this camera. You're getting a haircut? What are you gonna have him do to you? Seriously!

Add hair to you? Hey, can you scoop up some of this hair on the ground and put it on me? Oh, you got a haircut! I got a haircut! Oh, you already got the haircut! I was like, I was like, Harrison, it is... Okay, okay, okay. As you, as you lean down, you did kind of smell like Marv.

I smell like Marv. Are you trying to get paid? Go to Mars. Why are you paying him now? Because I bet he only takes cash. Oh, he's like Funky Town. So I wanted to leave my wallet, and he's like, don't do that. I trust you.

I was like, okay, I'll be right back. Isn't he awesome, though? He's awesome. He's awesome. And he survived COVID. Big time. Yeah, yeah. He almost died.

It's a walking miracle. How many days was he in a coma? Wasn't it, it was like December 15th. Yeah, see, Marv tells everybody. Yeah, it's crazy. If you don't know, now you know. Yeah, now you know. Shout out Marv.

In your wallet? Yeah, I should have money in my wallet where it's normally at up there. I think we should see you guys. You too, buddy. That was confusing at first because I was like why are you getting a haircut right now dude your hair is so short and i mean it looks kind of like what i did before anyway but guys that's my roommate harrison also um bonus podcast co-host yeah of the harry and ike podcast on patreon.com backslash ghost runners they're up to three episodes now

and uh it's something it's something no people really like it i haven't i like it i haven't listened to it it's fun um harrison and i have decently deep conversations isaac and i not that they have deep conversation on this podcast but isaac gets to a different level on this podcast i feel like as far as his conversational skills go oh really i feel like yeah there was one time he was like reflecting on like i forget what he asked but i was like okay isaac like that's good and i don't hear you talk like that all the time so i enjoyed listening to it um anyway yeah harrison night uh grandpa works so bored you work for a sewage plant yeah that's that's the end of that one that was just that was just wild to me like this guy this guy's like what

can i do with my life hmm well there's a sewage plant down the street that might need my help i could keep good good metrics of my tire pressure and. Well, there's a sewage plant down the street that might need my help. I could keep good metrics of my tire pressure and I could go volunteer at the sewage plant. The pressure of something else too.

So we were having lunch, eating our

pizza that we eventually yacked up. Um, not really. Pizza sounds nice. Uh, Scott loves talking about the podcast, which is fun. Like he, he loves us and his sister was there. And so I don't remember if Scott asked or his sister asked like, Hey, have you ever gotten any bad reviews? And I said a few, like not really. Every once in a while we say something that we probably shouldn't have said or something and i talked about the bachelor and how that one time like you accidentally or like didn't know the whole story and said talked about the woman falling on her face oh yeah and in that story i was like i don't know what's yeah yeah and people were like later on we're like hey dude like she had alzheimer's and we're like we didn't know that okay um so anyway just talk about that was, that was how this story came about. Scott told me about, or Scott's sister told me about

this, uh, girl that she knew in college that apparently it's like a medical condition that like some people don't really learn how to fall correctly. Like they don't learn how to like, like a natural reaction when you fall is to put your arms out, like put your hands out. Like Hattie, if she falls right now, she would, we don't teach her to put her hands out. Okay. This girl, whatever reason she didn't have the gene or the whatever to make that happen. And so every once in a while she would just like, if she was falling, she would forget to throw her arms out and she would just fall straight on her face. This seems like a made up condition. This seems like a really unathletic person to me. Like, no, no, no, no, this is like a thing. No, no,

no. The doctor told me, no, I look, is like a thing. No, no, no. The doctor told me. No, I look, I broke my arm in third grade by catching myself and I vowed to never do that again. So now I just land on my collarbone or my nose instead. I don't think so, dude. I think she had to like go to like PT or something for this. And like, like, which would be a funny thing to watch in physical therapy, like somebody pushing you over and then like, you're just trying to catch yourself.

But yeah, apparently she was with Scott's sister one time in college and they were walking and she tripped and she just fell so hard and she was like scott's sister was like why didn't you catch yourself put your arms down she goes i forgot my bad my bad can you imagine though like watching somebody not put their arms out when they're falling just catch themselves with their shoulder and head yeah oh it just seems because it literally is natural to us to like just throw your arms out and so it just doesn't make sense that people's brains don't all do that i guess one time in second grade mighty mites we had a kid who was getting tackled and put his arm down to catch himself and snapped his arm and broke it and so our coach who had a lot of interesting ideas one of his was we're gonna go to practice tomorrow

we're gonna practice falling so we're in full pads everyone's got a football you just have to throw yourself on the ground and not catch yourself in like second grade it was like the weirdest thing and it like what a funny looking drill oh yeah it looked ridiculous yeah yeah and we just have to yeah just throw yourself on the ground and just like hit your head on the ground basically over and over again we're gonna work on concussions today boys yeah yeah it's like yeah coach this makes sense i'm sure if we do it 15 times that'll be enough to form a habit in a game situation out of our whole life that we've been told like yeah oh well we did you in baseball did you learn how to get hit like we did drills on that your uncle your uncle's like all right we're gonna learn how

to get hit i was like is this just a sick twisted game like we basically we just learned how to like turn our back to the ball so we didn't get, like, nailed in the face, I guess. I don't know. My practice was just growing up being a big Fernando Vina fan. He would get hit by pitch all the time. And to me, I was like, that looks fun. Like, I'm going to try to get hit by pitch.

What an easy way to get on base. And so, yeah, I would lean into pitches or just take it on the arm all the time. Yeah. But maybe we did practice. I don't know. It does sound like a weird coach thing, though. It's like similar to falling. Like, we gonna learn how to fall we're gonna get hit how to get struck by a ball that's like what the coach does when he's like tired of you guys he doesn't

want to make you run he's like i'm gonna get this aggression out some other time yeah all right hit by pitch practice no no no that'd be a funny like snl skit like it's like hit by pitch and everyone he's just like lobbing them into all these guys and they're just turning and then this like jerk kid comes up and you just nail him james and comes up yeah it's time all right yeah charlie so anyway okay so that's like every sorry every coach has that practice like all right today we're going to practice how to get form tackled um by someone bigger than you so we're lined up i'm gonna i'm gonna put some pads on i'm just gonna i'm gonna have at it basketball Basketball coach. Here's how to take a charge.

All right. You guys got to learn how to take a charge. Let's line up, get in the paint. I'm going to run over you guys. Okay. I remember those commercials. They're called Terry Tate. He was a,

he was the office linebacker. Yeah. Yeah. That's right. You just like lay people out in the office. Yeah. Yeah. We had a skit like that at a Canada,

Carrie Kate. So we called it nice as Canada linebacker. Just nail people. I like that. Yeah. It was pretty fun. Sorry, third conversation. Third conversation. Apparently there's a new show on Netflix called Murder Among the Mormons.

Pretty close. You start with the M's. Is that actually a show? Yeah, I thought for sure that was what you were going to say since Scott is an LDS member himself. No, this was called Marriage or Mortgage. I was very close. Honestly. Murder Among the Mormons? Marriage or Mortgage? M&M's? Yeah. himself no this was called marriage or mortgage i was very close you were honestly it's a freaking me out marriage or mortgage am and m's yeah okay i don't know about that one have you heard the tv show love it or list it no i've heard of selling sunsets i think it's the exact same thing as

selling sunsets okay i don't know uh basically it's this idea where these this couple this young couple has uh thirty thousand dollars or I think that's always the amount. I don't know if it's changes. I'm already into this $30,000 and the two different people try to convince them what to do with that $30,000. Oh, I want to, I need to be on the show. They can either, they can either get married with the money. They can have a extravagant wedding or they can put $30,000 towards a house. Okay. And Scott was like, this show infuriated me because, cause I was like, this show infuriated me because, cause I was like, dude, there's people out there that would choose the marriage,

choose the wedding. And Scott's like, that's what they did. They chose the wedding. And so every episode is the same thing. Do you want a elaborate wedding or write a down payment on a home? Right. And so the idea of love it or list it was just similar. It's like, yeah, these two people, they can either, uh, renovate their house and they can either just choose to stay there or they can choose this other house that those people really like that they could buy real estate wise so it's the same idea like there's a designer whoever that i think that puts out like this like designs this beautiful wedding for them you know paints this great gorgeous picture or you can put money towards this wonderful house okay uh anyway it's just a funny thought of like,

I understand like weddings are a big deal and you should, I think Catherine and I probably spent more money than we probably should have on our wedding. I mean, it was her parents, so shout out. But yeah, if you had the option of one or the other,

it would just, it would be so hard for me to ever say wedding. I mean, even like, yeah, I mean, I know it's every little girl for me to ever say wedding. I mean, even like, yeah, I mean, I know it's every little girl's dream and whatnot, but you can have, you can, you can, sorry, you can make it work without 30 K. I would assume if you ask any married couple of 20 years or just anyone older at all, anyone who just has been married, they could be divorced. It doesn't matter to say, Hey, if you could go back in time, would you spend more money on your

wedding or less money on your wedding? I would assume 90% of people like yes. I wish I would have spent less money on my wedding, right? Yeah, some people might say I wish I would have hired a photographer. Yeah, I wish I would have spent less We would have had a videographer. Yeah, yeah less money on flowers more money on videographer Maybe allocated the money differently right, but yeah, that's just so silly and that's why it's good TV We love watching people make bad decisions. That's why People like watching The Bachelor. It's like why they're watching love island oh just like why they like watching uh um what was the old trashy show with snooki uh jersey shore jersey shore you like watching people do stuff because it makes you feel like hey i'm not as bad as them i would never do that right that's a silly decision sure like

idiot i'm so smart i would get a down payment on a house uh yeah speaking of down payments are you got you got anything i i mean here's what i'll say if i was gonna get one it would be through choose luke oh sorry yeah yeah if i was gonna get one it would be through luke hoagland.com yeah uh what was the swed Swedish way of cleaning? What did you say? I crap. I forget. I crap. I crap. I crap. But no. New idea is after talking to Aaron's husband this weekend, Taylor. Oh, he's a fun one to talk to.

He is. Dude, I asked him six times what he does for a living. I still don't know. I still don't know. Dude, I just. Oh. Dude, I just... Uh-oh. I was just watching... When you walked in, I was watching Nate Bergazzi's new stand-up special, which, if you haven't seen it, everyone needs to watch it.

I've only watched the first 25 minutes, but it was very funny. And he was like, you know, coughing in public is kind of ruined, huh? You know, it's like water goes down the wrong pipe one time. You might as well leave the restaurant. You might as well get out of there. He said, just go walk in traffic. So, yeah, I've never really known what Taylor does, even though I look back in my notes. And back in 2016, 2017, when I had a different, when I was leaving K-Life, I didn't know what I was going to do next.

I had this note in my phone. It's called just like job offers. And it was kind of cool to look back. It said law school, sell insurance, Canacuck marketing. It had juggling Josh stuff, question mark. And then it said Taylor Powell. I didn't even know what he did.

I just knew his name. He feels like a successful guy. Yeah, I just want to be near him. I feel like he does some kind of construction stuff. Yeah, kind of. Actually? Yeah, kind of. Actually? Yeah, yeah, kind of. It's pretty complicated and confusing,

but one of the things he was telling me, he's like, dude, I've got so many people chirping in my ear and telling me that I should start investing and start getting into RVs, recreational vehicles. Yeah, yeah, I know. He's like, I haven't done it yet, but he's like, I have a lot of intelligent people, smart people smart people good with money telling me i should buy an rv and then rent it out to people really i think just people are going to start traveling more like i was mentioning

you know i'm going to buy the house in scottsdale or whatever um he's like but i think there's still be a lot of people who are afraid to fly right maybe don't want to fly maybe i just want to take the family or just don't yeah even even don't even want to stay in a hotel or a public bathroom. Like my aunt is wanting to buy an RV and Cindy, she's going to buy one. I think. And like, that's the main reason that she's like, I don't want to go to a public bathroom when I go on road trips. So that, yeah, that's the wave is so yeah. No, now instead of a house that's stationary, what about a house that moves? I won't get to use LukeHoglund.com yet. Maybe, but if you need a loan for that thing. Yeah. I don't know. Prime lending sounds like it's more than prime lending. LukeHoglund.com would tell you. Yeah. You know what? I'll send him an email. Yeah. So, uh, I don't know how we

got there, but yeah, that's, uh, that's the new idea. Now next week there'll be something else. Yeah. I'm definitely not going to buy an RV. Notaii uh no not hawaii why he's out those things are pretty expensive as it turns out yeah we booked we i i eventually booked our hawaii trip okay tell me about it and we're going i love hawaii so much we're doing maui first we we i changed the flights originally we were going to go in and out of honolulu oahu and we are flying to maui first for like five days, but you haven't been to Maui. You've been to Kauai and Oahu. Yeah. So we're going to Maui first for like five days, stay at this pretty nice resort. And then like they have this thing called the road to Hana. Yeah. I heard of it. Yeah. So we're, we're written like the main thing. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. Yeah. I put

convertible. Maybe I'll change it to a Jeep. I don't know what you have. You've had a Jeep. Yeah. I did the Jeep. It was awesome. Was it? It felt sick. Take the top off. Oh,

they, they have topless Jeeps. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, okay. Okay. All you can handle.

you can handle bro. Take that canvas off. Come on. Let me see his chima. Let me see a little show in the road. The honor road. The honor. Come on. Yeah. You got $odehana. Rodehana. Come on.

Yeah. You got $20 in cash? I'll take it. Anyway, so we're going there for five days. And then we're just going to stay in like a cheap Airbnb in Oahu and go to Pearl Harbor. Cool. And do that. So I'm excited.

I'm really excited. We're pumped about it. So I don't know what all we're going to do in Hawaii. How many days in Oahu? Two. So like we're there for a week. So like five days in Maui, just a couple.

The main thought for Oahu was just go to Pearl Harbor. Yeah. So that was one of the things that it was kind of ironic, but it was underwater when I went there, when I was in Oahu, it was like flooded and we couldn't go. Oh really? Yeah.

It's like, this is a, yeah, I'm not going to say it. I'm not going to say it. I mean, it's like this is a yeah a walking punchline but i'm not gonna say it i'm not gonna say it i mean it's only been 80 years now so but yeah so we couldn't go but yeah i was like man i would have really really liked to seen this yeah i think it's gonna be really cool so katherine we're pumped it was one of those things i was like hanging over my head for the longest time of like i gotta find these things i don't know if i can find the right

place so there's just so many options it's just paralyzing when there's that many options for places to stay in hotel resorts and like different places, even buy your resort, like, you know, reserve it and stuff. It was like, it was hard. So I got, got through it though. Pulled the trig. That's my trombone. Something currently trending for me, Brad is going on car rides with people you went to high school with. Okay.

Scott has lately been, he calls it full service. He's been my airport guy. Oh, I love that. Yeah. Oh, people I went to high school with. Oh, sorry. Sorry. Oh, yeah.

He's like, hey, man, I know you got travels this this weekend let me know when you fly out i'll take you to the airport i know isn't that awesome it's so nice i'm gonna definitely use him from now on like

And so that was really nice.

And he wouldn't pick me up from the airport yesterday. And then Family Church in West Palm. Yeah, Family Church. Great name. What's better than a rental car? Having Aaron Boleyn drive you places. Yeah. And new friend Tommy Lee. Tommy Lee Boleyn drive you places. Yeah. And a new friend, Tommy Lee.

Tommy Lee. Tommy Lee Jones. Really? Yeah. You didn't go to high school with him. I was going to say, I don't think I know him. No, but he's a good guy. Yeah.

And he's just some intern at the church that they made drive me around all weekend. That's funny. I felt bad for him. I've got like a, you know, early fly, all these early mornings. And they're just like making this dude who's in college, like wake up early. I'm sure he's just like, gosh, I do not want not want to be doing so he would come pick you up from your hotel or whatever no i was staying with the pals as well with aaron and taylor okay which they say in jupiter which is like 25 minutes away so we'd have to like wake up drive all the way to come

get me and then drive back oh wow like oh i'm sorry but i didn't i just want you to know i didn't choose this i wasn't like give me an intern right i can rent a car yeah but it's fun yeah shout out the pals for letting me stay with them. They're doing well. Good. We pickleballed for like 30 minutes one day, just enough to get sweaty. And then I'd go straight to the church.

So it was not, I was like, this is going to be so dumb, but I just, I want to pickleball with you guys really bad. Yeah. It was great. I think the last night I got back really late, but Aaron had some Papa John's in the fridge. Sure. Heated that up.

We watched The Office together. Nice. It was really nice. It was like a great cherry on top. Did she quote everything five seconds before it happened? uh aaron had some papa john's in the fridge sure that up we watched the office together nice it was really nice it was like a great cherry on did she quote everything five seconds before it happened because that that was her mo back in the day oh oh aaron you know you did she's probably right now she's like no i didn't yes you did all the time it was like her way of like validating like hey i'm cool i know this yeah i know this i specifically remember to this day like zoolander i don't it's like ruined for me because the one time i ever watched it she quoted everything like five seconds before it happened and so i'm like okay i saw it was i saw it coming so uh that was great we laughed a lot it was like a lot of just like old episodes i forgot a lot of

scenes and yeah it's a good time so aaron yeah, she's one of my best friends from high school, college. Yeah, we're really tight and lives in Florida now. And sister is dating LukeHoglund.com. That's right. Yeah, of course. Full circle. Wow, full circle. Full service.

On one of the first days there, Erin mentioned to me, she was like, hey, so you've been kind of in touch with Sabrina, right? She's like one of the administrative assistants at the church, handles a lot of the travel. Is that where they go? His family church? Okay. Yeah. It's a pretty big church. There's like one of the administrative assistants at the church, handles a lot of the travel. Is that where they go? This family church? Okay. Yeah. It's a pretty big church.

There's like 13 campuses across the East Coast of Florida. And she was like, I just got to pass along this compliment. Sabrina said you are like the least diva person. So easy to work with. And I was like, oh, that's really nice. But in my head, I'm thinking like, I wonder what, like, how else could I have not? Why did I mess up here? I could have gotten so much more.

So I go back and look through our text with me and Sabrina and the texts are like, Hey, Jake, I'll be booking your flights. Um, yada, yada. Do you prefer window, middle or aisle? And I'm like window seat. And then the next text is like, okay, book yourself. Now what is your full name and your birthday? I give that to her.

What a diva. Like, how, like what are other people answering with these questions that makes them so much of a diva right like how else could i have answered these questions yeah like oh jake he's just so down to earth yeah he just tells me his birthday he said middle or window right away i mean like two minutes delay because i know is this coach or is this not like is this first class southwest and so by the final day i got the nerve to ask sabrina i was like hey i heard about this okay i gotta know like what are other people doing? And she's like, I don't know.

I just say this. Which now I'm just reading on the podcast. But I won't say who. But there's like people there they brought in who's like, I don't do purified water. I will not. It has to be spring water. What is the difference? I think it's just water.

Yeah. If anything, purified sounds better. Does. Oh, wow. So maybe Fiji is like spring water and purified is Ozarka. Even before I knew that, I complimented Sabrina on the first day. She gave me this little gift bag with like great water. Like the...

Is that what you said? I never had a smart water before. So even before I knew the whole water thing, I was like, Sabrina, thank you for the gift bag. And I had smart water. She's like, oh, you're welcome. This is so great. Is that the one with the electrolytes in it?

I don't know. It's water. It's like the the is it big long and slender like larry like larry yep that's right so i just thought that was very interesting like thanks for just being so easy to work with like anytime you need my birthday oh that was that the one example she gave would just give any more uh she i don't know that's probably good for now patreon.com i don't know i've met a lot of people this weekend i feel like i don't know that's probably good for now yeah patreon.com i don't know i've met a lot of people this weekend i feel like i don't know who's gonna listen to the podcast now yeah 13 campuses a lot tommy lee said he was going to though okay shout out to you better be freaking listening tommy tommy i was like you get a lot of tommy lee jones jokes he's like yeah all the time tommy lee

yeah that's good though ain't that one guy who married pam anderson yeah well yeah um something with her okay you texted me last night i think yesterday sometime that you had a random word that you didn't like okay i just texted brad i said is there a word worse than thingamabobber that's right i think that is just the worst word was that in context at all like i just heard like an adult use that word and i was like this is infuriating me will you go and you really hand me that thing even bobber yeah oh that's like that's like the equivalent to me of the people that are like you know like when they when they some other words like like like you're just that's not what you should do in this situation you know what else they always say oh i can't talk today oh i just can't i can't talk i

just can't adult today yeah i can't do words today oh i just can't i just cannot yeah get that out i cannot even today yeah thingamabobber that's good i like oh yeah it drove me crazy that and i saw three different which maybe people aren't gonna like this i don't know because i haven't seen harry potter i saw three different just adults men in their 40s without kids they were all three just there together by themselves wearing shirts it says this is my human costume in parentheses I'm actually a wizard and that also drove me up the wall I don't know why maybe it was because I was around kids all weekend I was hungry but I was like this is the stupidest thing I've ever seen this is my human shirt just yeah I just seen. This is my human costume. Wear a real shirt. Just, yeah, just wear anything.

This is my human costume in Harry Potter world. Come on, dude. All three of them together. Come on, dude. Yeah, three matching purple shirts. Dude, I don't get, I understand, like, I like Harry Potter fine. Like, I've enjoyed watching the movies. I read some of the books.

I get that it's fun, but there are people out there that are obsessed with Harry Potter and I don't get it. I don't get why, why there's just like this absolute obsession over it. Like 40 year old men going to Harry Potter together. That's crazy. Um, yeah, I don't know. I haven't seen it. I don't know if I mentioned that yet. You haven't, I haven't seen it at all. Any of them. I actually did watch the first one. That video. And it wasn't that good. No, the first one's my favorite one oh really so if you don't like the first one then don't keep watching i heard a lot of people tell me that it's kind of like parks and rec like you got to get through the first two oh i thought the first one was so fun because it was like i like the origin story or whatever you want to call it like i like that like so i liked watching

harry i liked watching harry go from who am i to you're a wizard harry you know all that stuff spot on person ish i thought so yeah that's how he sounds for hag um okay so randomly you texted me that and i was like i've actually been thinking of a word that i've decided i don't like recently and it's probably one of the most common words in the english language oh it's the word hello. Oh, I think hello is awkward. I don't I don't think I dislike it necessarily. But imagine using it in any any setting.

So you walk into a grocery store like, hey, how you doing? You just go, hello. Oh, I love hello. You do? Because now it's almost become informal to say hello. Hey, it's become so normal and normalized. It's like almost informal to say hello. Hey has become so normal and normalized. Yes, dude. And it's like almost weird to say hello.

It is. It's weird. It's awkward. I don't like being basic. I don't like saying things that other people say. I don't say thingamabobber, and I don't like saying hey all the time. Hello. Why wouldn't thingamabobber be in the same category as hello?

Because I hear people say it all the time. It's like a pattern to me. It's like a pattern I've noticed. So you want to come go back. No, I think hello. So like, hey, Jake, how you doing to come go back no i think hello so like hey jake how you doing hello i do it all the time do you this is like me he's bringing up the apples to oranges thing you're like i do that i do that yes dude i think you're i think you're making

people feel uncomfortable i maybe i know it's like or maybe people are just like oh jake's kind of weird oh that's uh oh like yeah he's kind of a diva but he says hello so he does like the window seat which is cool but he says hello when he gets there like yeah i just think uh i think hi and hey is so much more normal hello let me no i love it every time you're saying it i'm loving it every time like yes that's good that's unique kind of like bye-bye i guess hello yeah oh yeah i say it all the time oh man okay let me run this by you because this happened to me uh saturday going to the uh to the florida oh i got recognized this has never happened before tgi fridays because you got a three-hour layover what else you gotta do in the airport yeah i don't like being basic so i

only go to tgi fridays dude i think it's a pretty rare thing to go to tgi fridays in the airport oh man look terminal b in atlanta there's not that many options it's like eat fresh not six hours though you could have gone anywhere it was i could have probably but i uh it was called eat fresh it was like subway to go so chili's two kind of thing i don't know it just seemed healthy it was like no thank you and oh it's tgi friday's immediately the waitress is like hey i'm katie i'm gonna be taking care of you today. You're Jay Triplett from Trey Kinney's videos. Immediately. Yeah.

And that was my first time being recognized in that way without Trey. And it was awesome. It was just like a really cool experience. But do you ever, sorry, do you ever feel self-conscious after somebody recognizes you? Like I have to be really polite.

Or like what if I order the wrong thing and she's going to think I'm a weirdo? Oh. Like I'll take the chicken crispers. It's like, you're 30 years old, bro. I did salad i got the uh yeah what'd you get i got a pretty normal did you get like something that had like a punny name no yeah i got a pretty normal thing to eat but to drink i was like tell me about these lemonade slushies she's like oh they're pretty good i was like okay i'll take a strawberry lemonade slushy so that might be embarrassing no that's great it's just gonna be one of those very specific

things like yeah jake triplet he was such a diva he could only have strawberry lemonade slushies no the only thing that really crossed my mind is like i gotta make sure for some reason i feel like i should tip more than 20 right even though that's what i would normally do i was like she knows me this is gonna be a story for her right let. Let's go 25. Yeah. Yeah. Let's go. Either that or go like stiffer, like just like 5%, you know, like no, the other way with it, with this. Cause either way you gotta, you gotta go big for the story one way or the other. And then, yeah.

And then I thought this guy was great. And actually he only took me 5%. I could never, I know I care too much about my reputation. I would sprint out of there. And just the thought of her, what she's going to tell people, that would crush me. I would have to go find her on Instagram that night and be like, hey, I'm so sorry. What's your Venmo? Yeah, I got to pay you right now.

I have money in my wallet. Sorry. I know you were telling the story about something else. But speaking of Venmo, kind of, not really. We have a fan who wants to remain anonymous that reached out to our friend, Knack Baxter, that reached out to us that said, um, they are willing to pay for somebody's patron membership. So somebody, yeah. So if somebody is interested, I don't know, I guess,

I'm not sure. I, yeah, I don't know the terms and conditions of it. I think they just had the heart of like, we know that some people probably can't afford to pay for a patron membership. I want to provide that for them. A gifted patreon subscription yeah so if you're interested out there i guess contact us or contact knack baxter either way um contact us and we'll we'll get you in in in contact with them there's a lot of contact gonna be made we're gonna be doing contact tracing yeah okay okay okay but we're gonna know how to fall

so uh anyway that was a random thing. Oh, just piggybacking the hello thing. At TGI Fridays, the host, kind of a flamboyant young man, but approached me and said, hello there. And I thought, I would never. You're like, I love this. No, I would never greet someone with hello there. Guy, girl, girlfriend, wife, never.

Did you say hello back? I think I just like nodded or maybe just said like, gross. So there, it's just like there's like this like connotation of like a little bit more like. Hello there. Playful, like hello there. It's like you're at work. Yeah. You should never say hello there at work.

I don't care what job you're in. But hi there. Hi there. That's nice. Boom. Yeah. I'm not a hi there guy. I don't think I'm against that.

It's not weird. I'm not a hi there guy. Yeah. No, I don't think I am weird i'm not a hi there guy yeah no i don't think i am either i'm more of a hater hey dare hey dare guy that's what i would do if i were a host i would that would be my competition for myself is like for an each hour i would only i would never be able to like repeat the same thing so be like hey there and then somebody else come up hello Hello. How are you? And the next one I see into you. Yeah. Yeah.

I know how many tables you need. That's funny, though. Hello there. Yeah. I noticed that. Yeah. Saturday in the airport. OK.

I don't like that. Hello there. I mean, leave us a five star review if you think hello is a normal word to say. I'd say rank the introductions. Yes. Like where like give like less than signs across like hey hello hello there hi there hey there right where where do they go for you yeah so what's the matrix yes up uh what's up where's that one at saw dude where's that one i'm trying

to think of what i would do to like a stranger if so you're telling me you hello a stranger yeah i'm walking i think it's quirky yeah it is i agree i we're on the same page then i just think that we just have different uh different desires sets of quirky yeah like you like that it's quirky i'm like that's weird man i would rather be quirky in those areas and not like oh he's wearing a dress and sun you know a sun hat right in the airport why is he doing that yeah hello uh i think i would just say i think i always say hi how you doing that's what that's my go-to if you were a host no that like if somebody greets me at it i'm for some reason i'm always imagining walking into hy-vee i don't know why okay the supermarket and somebody saying hi hi how you doing that's that's

what i say okay how you doing or or with the guy i would say hey man hey man how's it going amen amen so a couple other things from florida real quick gotta give a quick shout out to caitlin okay shout out caitlin one of the biggest fans i've ever met in person do you see this on the story yes dude it blew my mind so i met her the first night right before i'm about to go on stage uh just these two cute little girls run up to me caitlin oh i want to say riley sure maybe riley run up to me and like we know who you are i'm like no way that's awesome i like fully expected no one to right i think trey's audience is not like middle school and our podcast even though we occasionally do get voice memos for people yeah younger i just don't believe for some reason like nah that's not real right i don't actually

listen you just assume it's it's just the same people like our age people that listen yeah i don't know so i was just not expecting at all and they ran up and they're like we know who you are can we get a picture can you sign my phone case like oh my gosh this is awesome your phone that's a new that's such a gen z thing like i've never heard of that yeah oh i signed so many phone cases seriously yeah i've never heard of that. Yeah. Oh, I signed so many phone cases. Seriously. Yeah. I've never heard of that. And I had to repeat a couple.

I think they, you know, didn't blow on it, put it in the pocket, got a little smudged and then re-signed some. Get some quick, dry Sharpie. So that was really, really fun. And then the next morning, then I see little Caitlin front row at my breakout session. Oh yeah. You know, a couple of cues, couple A's. Afterwards, she's like, I'm sorry, can we take another picture together? I had my mask on last night. I'm like, oh yeah, for sure couple q's couple a's afterwards she's like i'm sorry can

we take another picture together i had my mask on last night i'm like oh yeah for sure like let's take it on she's like also you were on my birthday cake i'm like hold on hold on what do you mean and she's like hello let me show you and yeah her birthday i don't know a couple months ago it was designed with our ghost runners logo on Instagram. Yeah. The one with the ghost in the headband. Yeah. That logo somehow she got, or just paid someone to just like design it on her birthday cake. Unreal. She's like probably 12 years old. Unreal. Anything on a birthday cake. It shows the ghost runners Instagram logo. Yeah. You posted that on our Instagram and I saw it and I was like, that's crazy. That's so fun. But then I kind of just like went on with my

day and then it kind of hit me again. Like a couple hours later, I was like, I have a podcast that somebody likes enough to put on the logo as the logo on their birthday cake in West Palm beach. Yeah. And she's a middle school girl. Yeah. I was like that. And then it kind of was like, whoa, this is crazy you know because you see how many so many crazy things on the internet these days that's just like yeah that's crazy too it's easy to get like uh desensitized to the numbers like we have this many thousand listeners per week per month whatever yeah it's like whoa now we're on birthday cake level i've never thought i was going to be on bcl no that's nuts jbl sure sure bcl no sure we should ask harrison about the jbl yeah uh that's how i

felt whenever you reposted the pickleball merch thing right i was like no way and that was probably it hit me better because that was crazy first you know yeah yeah that was i was like i think you went out of your way to make these shirts yeah i like maybe this is braggy but i was i think it was with aaron when i saw i was like, I'm sorry, I just got to tell someone this. Yeah. I was like, look at this. Look at what's happening. Like our names are on the back of people's shirts. Our quotes. That they made themselves.

Like we didn't like, like they didn't just purchase them from us. And they never contacted us to like get anything from it. They just like went and did it. Yeah. Oh, so awesome. Yeah. Nikita was the one woodworking Nikita from Oregon. She was the one that made them for like, but she said,

I think she made like 10 of them. Like she had a bunch of friends. No way. Yeah. So it's just crazy and fun. So maybe they were playing pickleball. Yeah. Explain that.

So Nikita. So I've, I've messaged Nikita back and forth quite a bit. Cause she's asked woodworking questions and she actually sent a really cool little toy for Bo when he was born. Um, so we're, we're just like super close friends by now.

But, um, she made these t-shirts sup dog. You doing some laundry? Harrison sent me down here. Okay. So no.

Oh, okay. Nice. You are a good roommate, buddy. Um, so anyway, he, she, she was, I, I know her from, she's from Oregon anyway, and she made these t-shirts for her friends that were all getting to pickleball together to all wear that say like ghost runners podcast on the back they all have our quotes on them like their favorite quote from us yeah and so each of them had a different quote that was fun too uh i can't remember what the quotes were i think one

of them was on your feet one of them was one of them was from when uh trust me i've checked what was that from though that's what we were were going off about almond milk and oat milk. And you're like, there's no teats on almonds. And I said, trust me, I've watched. Yeah, that's right. That's right. That's right. Yeah.

I can't remember the last one. Dang, we're funny. Man, we're good. Money time. BCL. Yeah, yeah, yeah. BCL. We're birthday cake level on that.

Oh, man. Yeah. That's awesome. Thanks for making that. And hopefully we'll have some shirts of our own soon that we're gonna sell we have lots of ideas i've we're getting on them what are you doing tomorrow watching basketball doing a little bit of this a little bit of that maybe i come over watch a little basketball and let's get some merch stuff done okay cool so check it out guys so i don't know if it'll be ready when this probably not no but maybe by next monday yeah that's fun yeah okay i'll come over tomorrow i love that i

And this is too late now. Cause it's Monday when this comes out, but of doing a ghost runners one, um,

that'd be fun. And I've thought about having Hattie fill it out. I'm going to ask Hattie, like the mascots, like who's going to win the badgers, the tar. Oh, that's fun.

And I think I, I bet she would beat a lot of people. You know what I mean? That should be. Yeah. Yeah. Here's what we do. That's a Patreon video.

Okay. And let's, and then tonight I can do it tonight. We'll do like a set up a ESPN tournament challenge for Ghost Runners to join. Let's do it. Cool. Cool. So you guys already in it. You guys already know then you already know that we did this. Check us out. If you're not, if you missed it, it's because you're not on Ghost Runners Instagram. So follow us Ghost Runners podcast on Instagram.

Good plug. Thank you. Good stuff. Thanks. Thanks. Thanks. So I don't have too much else. I could talk about a few things, but I think we should go into voicemails unless you have, you have other good stuff. A few just quick things. I jotted down the perception artist, Sean.

Yeah. Oh, he thinks, he thinks I'm really cool to hang out with. He told me that on night two, he's like, dude, I worked with a lot of comedians.

I'm like, okay, first of all, I don't know if I've, you know, earned it the whole time. I kept doing that. Like, it's like comedian, worked with a lot of comedians i'm like okay first of all i don't know if i've you know earned it the whole time i kept doing that because like comedian jake like easy all right i've done like 20 shows ever don't i don't want to people expect it as much he's like there's like performance cool and then there's like green room cool and dude you are green room cool grc baby grc and bcl in the same week wow And so it was a nice compliment, but it was kind of funny.

I don't know what kind of people he's around or has worked with before, but we didn't even talk that much. I just kind of made sure, whatever. But he was like, dude, from now on, if I get gigs and they need an entertainer, I'll throw your name out there. Heck yeah. Because you're cool to hang out with. Does he do quite a bit of stuff?

He said he's booked almost every single day in March. Oh, wow. But then he said he has nothing in May, but then's like booked a ton in june and july interesting what an odd schedule you have or at least you're i'm perceiving that you have an odd schedule you never know oh there's a nail in my nose yeah ouch oh interesting that's cool though no i mean that's what i've always and i feel like you and I both, like, we're just, we just try to be ourselves all the time. Like, I think that kills me kind of when people are fake and I know it's like pretty easy to understand why people are frustrated with that, but it's like, like, I can't understand why people would act one way at in this setting and another way in this

setting. It's like, just be yourself all the time. Like, yeah, I understand like you're going to be quieter in certain settings or whatever, but like, like that's like such my goal is like, I never want to be a different person at home, like with Catherine and my kids that I am on the podcast. I don't want to be like this fun, crazy guy on this podcast and then get off of here and just be like this bum of a dad. You know what I mean?

Yeah. So yeah, I think, I think maybe, and I bet that happens more often than you think. Like, yeah, these comedians are funny on stage, but then they get back and they're like jerks and don't want to talk to

anybody or something like it's like why like just be yourself all the time that actually reminds me i just saw a tweet maybe yesterday from a comedian and he said and it kind of blew up because i think other comedians like well dang this is true it said the only time a comedian cares about your life is when he's doing crowd work wow and you're like oh yeah i think other comedians were like dang that's true yeah i don't have great social skills yeah unless i want to make a joke about him like hey so what do you do where are you from right yeah the whole time you're like please say something that i can use please be like a gynecologist or something please don't have just been laid off what What do you do? Not a whole lot.

Because downsizing is a pretty real thing. Not a whole lot. I kiss men on the cheek after I get serenaded by them. Anyway, but yeah, that's cool. That's a good compliment from Perception Artist. Thanks, Sean. Yeah. Thank you, Sean.

All right, let's do, man. Good episode so far. Great. Oh, amazing. Best one we've ever done, maybe? Maybe. Hey, Brad and Jake. This is Janelle from Ohio. Second home in Missouri and now calling for my third home in Ukraine.

Sure. I'm a second time caller and big, big fan of the pod. I don't know how excited you guys are for your 100th episode, but I think us ghosties are pretty excited for you. Maybe it's because we're thinking that you might have some grand surprises up your sleeves, or if we're really just proud of you guys for this big accomplishment. In the words of Michael Scott,

presents are the best way to show someone how much you care. It is like this tangible thing that you can point to and say, hey man, I love you this many dollars worth. I mean, maybe it's apples to oranges, but thanks for gifting us, your listeners, with 100 episodes worth of care.

My question for you is inspired by the time-honored elementary school tradition of acting like you're 100 when celebrating the 100th day of school. So what do you think some of your blanks of the week might be when you're 100 years old? Really? Thanks. Bye-bye. You did that growing up? I didn't do it, but my friends who are teachers,

I see them do it a lot. Josie and Carly, I've seen them both do, like, it's our birthday at school and we're all dressed up as old people. Oh, wow. Okay. So blanks of the week of your old people. Oh! It's, okay. Blanks of the week! This is episode

1607. 1607. My Babe of the Week is, is, oh, what's her name? Yeah, right. Sweet Judy. Oh, Judy. Judy. She changes my socks just how I like them.

She makes them warm again. And she's been making that peach cobbler how I like them. Oh, sure, yeah. I just wanted to say thank you, Judy. And I miss you and I love you. I'll see you later tonight. See you in heaven. I'll be your daddy.

I'll be your daddy. I'll be your daddy. Oh, my baby of the week has to go out to my lovely bride, Katarina. You sound like Dana Carvey doing a George Bush impersonation. Now, now, now, now. Is that what it, noatarina oh yeah i'm trying to be old not joe white i can't do it it's hard to get back in it i'm gonna i'm just gonna do a whole different different yeah yeah yeah new guy oh katarina oh that hurts my voice well you do this for a second you're my babe of the week oh I can't do this you don't drink soda now so you got a whole new voice box I got a different different diaphragm I didn't even ask about that how's that been going it's been fine you're what

four days into no soda no soda four days yeah you know whatever you would call it diet healthier living for a couple week and half. Now it's been, it's been good. Uh, I've been going to bed and getting up at trying to like stay pretty consistent in that. And that's been the hardest thing. Cause like I'm going to bed at like nine,

maybe earlier, like, like falling asleep by nine sometimes, but getting up at like five, five, 45. Holy cow. Yeah.

That's like too extreme. It is. But, but like, yeah, I think the, the, I'm just trying to get into a rhythm of some sort. Like I'm just trying to something normal. Yeah. That's like too extreme. It is. But, but like, yeah, I think the, the, I'm just trying to get into a rhythm of some sort.

Like I'm just trying to something normal. Yeah. And I'd much rather get up early than go to bed late. I guess if that makes sense. Like I'd rather sacrifice early in the morning rather than late at night. Yeah. That makes sense. Yeah.

So anyway, it's been good. Uh, I'm still eating well. Like I still like what I'm eating. I'm just eating healthier stuff, like cool salads and stuff, but I like salads. So it's been good. I'm still eating well. Like I still like what I'm eating. I'm just eating healthier stuff, like salads and stuff, but I like salads. So it's been fun. Yeah.

So yeah, I'm enjoying it. Sorry. Grandpa Brad, you were saying you're blanking. And anyway, Katarina, I love you. Okay. If I'm a hundred, that means you're 106 months and you are just the curviest, beautifulest. My gosh,

you still get me going. I don't need any of this. Seattle is crap. Hey baby, meet me in the, in the study hall later. I don't know what I'm saying. What do old people say?

I love apparently about whatever they want. Yeah. Get your hand dirty hands off my, ah, frick took us good. Yeah, there you go. Uh, thanks. If I'm, if, if, if I'm a hundred, then Catherine's definitely still alive. Cause there's no way I'm out living. Catherine, she's so much healthier.

Like she's going to live till she's 120. Then, uh, they say a lot of it's genetic though. Yeah, that's true too. Um, so I don't know how old my dad's gonna live because he's still alive so my uh cousin steve-o your former teammate he works in like ku med is doing all these studies and i don't think he did this study but he just like had the inside track on it he's dude, there was kind of a recent medical breakthrough that correlated lifespan with, I think, the grandfather on your mom's side, like how quickly they hit puberty.

I'm pretty sure that's what he told me. This is a few months ago and I didn't write it down or anything. But how in the world do they measure that? I don't know. When do you hit puberty? Like, do you remember? I don't know the day. There's no way I remember.

Even like it was a Thursday, but I don't know which one i don't know which thursday yeah like it was that uh we don't have to get too far i don't think it's the day you hit puberty but i think it's like this span like this like year of your life you you know i don't even remember that no no i don't but yeah and so like how that's what i'm saying is like how do they figure out the research for like this grandpa 150 years ago hit puberty at this time maybe it's in your body somewhere oh maybe they can like see when your growth plates started shifting or when things happen i don't make sense something like that i don't go to kumed yeah we'll get steve on the pod and ask him fun that we could have some good stories of steve i bet between the two of us we would have to censor him a little bit okay we have

a little trouble okay steve hey easy easy we censor him a little bit. We would have a little trouble. Okay, Steve. Hey, easy, easy. We censor stuff when we're joking. Like we say frick and then we censor it or something. We don't need to pull out the bleep button for you. That could be fun though to like rehash some old stories. Yeah, because Steve and I knew each other from childhood a little bit. And obviously you guys have so many stories, but we would collide worlds.

And we could just ask him about the mice. Yeah. That's all he does. A lot of lab rats. For years, he just worked with rats, lab rats. And he's just very desensitized to mice now and how he speaks about them. And at Thanksgiving, he's like, I got to go throw away some mice and leave early. And there's these little cousins running around like, you work with mice? What do you mean throw them away? Do you name them?

And Steve-O is not really around kids very often it's just like oh god uh uh we don't name them uh you just have numbers wait why do they have numbers uh you know just lie man yeah just just just say something else anything other than what you actually do these mice that's great it was a good time uh okay janelle thank you for the voice memo and the casual flex you have three homes yeah ukraine first first time ukraine do it yeah there you go very good hey guys it's izzy jake's best friend um i'm so obligated to call because i met jake a few days ago and hung out with him. And now my goal for 2021 was to meet the Ghostwinners and half of my goal is complete. So I have decided that I have to come to Kansas City now to meet Brad. So Stacey, if you're listening to this, let's plan a trip to

Kansas City for the summer. Let's do it. Let me know when you're free. And anybody else who wants to come, let me know. So my question for you, Jake and Brad, when I come to Kansas City in the summer, what are we going to do? Are you going to hang out with me? Are we going to play pickleball?

What are you going to show me? Are you going to show me around town? You know, what do I need to see in Kansas City that's so great? So yeah, that's my question for you guys.

Jake, it was super fun hanging out with you. Brad, can't wait to meet you. We're going to have tons of fun. So love you guys so much. I'll talk for you guys. Jake, it was super fun hanging out with you. Brad, can't wait to meet you. We're going to have tons of fun. So love you guys so much. I'll talk to you later. Bye. Bye-bye.

Izzy. Izzy. My girl. What are we doing in Kansas City? I feel like Kansas City. All right, go ahead. I don't know. We got a messenger coffee.

I was going to say, I don't know. It's not exactly like. It's not like a touristy place. Like it's like, it's like hang out with my friends to live. Yeah. I was going to say, it's like a great place to have like roots and like,

and there's cool things to do, but they mostly revolve around food. I feel like, um, I think we can have one good Saturday of touristy things, but it's not like, don't come to Kansas City for a week expecting to like be blown away. Yeah.

Unless you're in Brad and I's friend group and intimate circle. And then then you have a good time. Yeah. Yeah.'re in Brad and I's friend group and intimate circle and then then you have a good time. Yeah. Yeah. But I would, I would say messenger coffee Saturday morning. We go to Oklahoma Joe's Saturday for lunch.

What a great combo. Maybe we ride like the street car or take like a bird scooter from like the riverfront down to Liberty Memorial. I show you that. Yeah. And then we go to funky town that night. Oh yeah. Funky town.

But then after that, I don't know. I don't know. Yeah. They got, if it's like maybe a Royals or chiefs game depending on the season yeah there's good sports i mean it's just there's good atmospheres different places but it's not like it's like you got to come and do this except for barbecue barbecue is like the thing is worth seeing yeah we go to weston see the

world's uh biggest ball of twine no that's not weston that's in uh caucasus ball of string ball of string west has ball string. West has ball of string. We got twine string, baby. Kansas and Missouri. Gosh, what a great place. Uh, yeah, I, I, I truly feel like Kansas City is like one of my favorite places

in the world, but it's not because of like this iconic place that you go to. Like, like Chicago, I could go and stay for a week and do all these fun things. It's like, wow, this is so cool.

Kansas City, Kansas City is not a vacation spot for many people, I don think no but it's still like yeah i mean it's great compared to other midwestern cities like i think most people would prefer to spend time in kansas city over omaha or you know des moines yeah sorry sheboygan but yeah i i don't know what we would do i don't know if i would hang out with you. It depends on when you're here. And if I have, I have lots of work to do. Brad's a pretty busy guy and I'm about to own an RV. So who knows where I'll be? Who knows where Jake's going to be? I'll be in debt. That's where I'll be. But, um, maybe elsewhere. Yeah. I, yeah, I, I, I don't know. I'm really busy in July. I know that I'm like not going to be here very much in July. So really? Yeah. We're

going on a few different vacations. One with her family, one with my family. Where are you headed? Texas for the first one. And Colorado with my family. Cool. And then I think something else. What was Catherine saying?

Something else in July. Oh, we're going to build a fence, I guess. She wants me to build a fence. Already got that on the calendar, huh? Because she wants to get her family to come help. Which i'm like oh i like that now we're talking yeah many hands make it grandpa frank he's got time that's right yeah right yeah i'll have to leave the sewage plant early but i think they'll figure it out let me know whenever you are building that fence i'll make sure that trey and i have a last minute video that comes up that i have to go

have to go shoot and yeah i throw up my back up my back. But you guys can do it, right? But you guys got to figure it out. Yeah. Right? Okay, thank you, Izzy. Next voice memo is from, oh, real quick, I just remembered. Izzy's brother, Isaac, is also a big fan of the pod, also love voice memos. He's the one that tried to guess my truck by the sound of its blinker. Yes.

Yes. He was really fun. I FaceTimed him while we were in line, talked to him for like a couple minutes. Oh, nice. It was super loud, and I got yelled at for having my mask down. But I was like, I don't think he'll be able to, able he listens to my podcast i don't know if he can hear me if my mask is gone right so uh but is there ever going to be a point where we just forego facetime and just keep calling each other like in instances like that like how about i just call this guy i'm

i'm not big on facetime never have been it's so awkward you never have a quality conversation on facetime and i just feel like i have to just be sitting there looking at you the whole time. True. Also true. I like to look at other things. Yeah, that's fine. Convertible, baby. Let's see that top off. You know, like a road to Hana. Okay. Next voice. So Francesca, 15 seconds. Hey, Jake and Brad. My name is Francesca friend for sure. I go to the university of Arkansas in Fayetteville. I love the pod. And my question for y'all is if you could have any actor play the role of you in a movie, what actor would it be and why? Thank you, Fran.

That was one breath right there. Yeah, good for her. She probably swims. Yeah. It could be fun if we answer for each other. I'll go first. Brad, yours would be Jack Black. And yours would be Cl black and uh yours would be um uh cloris bleachman who in the world is

is he in harry potter is that why he did that it's a woman and she's old okay it's the woman from uh the office episode wherever jack black and oh old woman good for you yeah i don't know if it's bleachman it might be leachman or something something along those lines though uh that's funny yeah fran if you don't know a long time Bleachman. It might be Leachman or something, something along those lines though. That's funny. Yeah. Fran, if you don't know a long time ago, I mean, at least a year ago, probably, or around a year ago, we got a voice memo from someone. I can still remember like the sound of that guy's voice.

I don't remember his name, but I remember him saying, I've just been thinking like, if you guys were in movies, like who would play you? Like, who do you think? I'll go first. Jake would be like a young Tom cruise and brad would be jack black and brad cool cool go scroll down it's like one of the first things i think we ever posted on instagram yeah like when we got our instagram that was raw raw reaction right there i was like what okay Black. Yeah. Who would you play, man? Oh, man. Well, my real answer was going to be Kevin James.

I think he's awesome. Last night at midnight, I run down to the living room because I'm like, Nate Bargatze's new special comes out March 18th. Yeah. And it was not on. I don't know if they don't run off Central Time or what. Yeah. And I was like, ah, what am I going to watch now? So I turned on the new Kevin James show.

Oh, what is it? It's a Netflix original called The Crew crew i think yeah kevin james have you watched it no but i saw somebody like legitimately recommend it was it terrible it i couldn't i watched like 10 minutes and i was like i'm good yeah i'm just gonna go to sleep i don't remember who recommended it it's got a laugh track i don't hate laugh tracks like i do like i think that sometimes they're okay Like I like friends and how I met your mother. Yeah. I don't like laugh tracks, but, um,

I didn't like it at all. I thought it was really just bad dialogue and just more of the same. Just like, he's a Midwestern guy who likes basic guy stuff. And like, he's going to have trouble listening to this woman. Like, it just seems like just typical sitcom.

I love that kind of stuff in a way. No, it just seems so old fashioned to me. Nothing is new about it. The dialogue was bad. Yeah. The laugh track happened way too often. It's like,

he hasn't got through the sins yet. Hold on. Okay. But that's just me. Well, sometimes were they not laugh tracks? They were like actual studio audiences, right?

Like I think like fresh Prince, I think was an actual studio audience. Really? Yeah. That's cool. And so like, that's fun to think about. Yeah,

they're actually laughing really hard at this. think that should be like like the fcc shouldn't let you put out a laugh track unless it's a live audience that would be cool yeah like things that are funny or funny no matter if they have a laugh track in them or not that's what i'm saying like no one would be actually laughing so that then they would be like oh you can't have this show because no one's actually laughing that'd be awkward yeah that's what i'm saying yeah all right it's kind of like snl sometimes it's like people aren't laughing right now good it's awkward that's how it should be that's how it's how i have to do my job i don't know if things are gonna be funny i put out so much content a week and i don't get an automated laugh track true you just put it out

there for the world and just hope it's funny just hope it works yeah it's not fair that networks yeah don't get me going okay but fran thank you for the voice memo though uh that was really great did we answer the question? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. You said Kevin James. That's a good answer. Yeah.

I would choose Jesse Eisenberg because no one ever says I look like a celebrity, but they say I sound like him. So great. Okay. You can play me in a movie. And I like you in the social network. Cool. And you were decent.

And now you see me. Oh, fun movie. Fun movie. Did you see Now You See Me 2? No. the social network. Cool. And you were decent and now you see me. Oh, fun movie. Fun movie. Do you see Now You See Me 2? No. Not as fun. No. That's what I'm saying.

After the first one, it's like, no, I'm not going to see that. I don't think I'm into it. I could see the first one again, maybe tonight. It was fun. It was fun.

Fun idea. It's not going to be an Oscar winner, but it's a good time. Not that I know of. Okay. Next voice memo I'm excited about. It's from the username we know and love dad's podcast clintonius here we go back that's right clintonius here i'm back

little life update sorry let's just start that from the top that's so good back that's right clintonius here i'm back a little life update um senior year is coming to a close got a couple months left pretty exciting senioritis fully set in uh got a new acl that's kind of a deal jbl um but i just wanted to let you guys know a quick little story about myself so i was walking around on crutches and i was like dang this crutches suck i should get a wheelchair and i remembered that i was big into wheelchairs at one time when my grandfather passed away a little more than i know i was like dang i want his wheelchair i got his wheelchair i learned how to do wheelies on it and then i thought i'm gonna be setting the world

record for wheelies my best record was six hours i learned that the record was 13 hours and i just gave it up i gave it up oh i'm thinking about getting back into it just a little funny story that i thought that let you guys know and i want you to know i'm back i am back baby every week you're gonna hear from clintonius and the i'm down boys we love you wait that was a good place that was awesome yeah does six hours mean like when I was thinking wheelies, I thought he was going to say how many in a row he did. No, I think just staying back on your back wheel for six hours. Yeah.

And he did that for six hours and he wasn't even halfway to the world record. I love that he did that without knowing what the world record is for fun. Let's just sit back for six hours and just, I guess, not go to the bathroom or eat for six hours. Oh my gosh. I feel like that's maybe, I don't know. I've never tried wheeling for long amounts of time. I wheelied for little amounts of time. One time I had a loft in Bolivar in college just for Jan time, just for a month. But we rented this place and it had a wheelchair in it. So it was great. Great party quirk. Have people over, hey, come try out the wheelchair. Try to do a wheelie. Yeah. So I got good wheelies for like three weeks. But I feel like that is like marathon

running. It's like, oh yeah, once you could could run eight miles you could run 26 or whatever it's just a mental thing or it's like do you really want to but yeah are you do you have that much free time yeah yeah so it's like i'm sure you can get 14 clint i think about that all the time when people are saying they're training for a marathon they're like yeah i just did a you know 12 mile run i'm like did you enjoy that time that you spent at this point you've proven yourself you can run long distances yeah like don't you just want an extra hour of your day to not run an extra another 14 hour yeah more yeah however long it would be yeah probably another two yeah also in uh clint's voice memo you get to title him he said life update from clint ibd

he almost had it. He got the other initials right. He got ACL right. I'm boy down. I'm boy down. That's kind of how you'd say it in Spanish. He was probably going to Google Translate. Maybe he's.

Yo chico. Yeah. Down. I don't know what down is. In Espanol. I don't either. Up and down. Arriba.

Baja. Baja maybe? Baja men. The down men. They were the original i'm down boys i think baja does mean under maybe baja california is the southernmost part of california because it's on the down who let the down out who who were the down men did i ever do a jingle to that song yeah i think i did did you it's so hard to know i i don't know i i wanted to at one point i don't know if i ever made it happen but if not we should yeah okay yeah somebody read this one uh did he ask a question or i think he was just saying like life update i'm back as acl yeah clint from someone who's broken a lot of world records uh i would not choose the endurance

ones do ones you can knock out in an afternoon probably but what are some of the most memorable ones you can remember drop stupid i'm done dropping a highest distance to drop a hot dog into a bun that was like the first like impressive one like went to like a roof in downtown dallas and drop that sucker you guys just have a bunch of dogs up top yeah i just went yeah just ziploc and dogs were you dog dropper dog catcher i was dog dropper yeah he was baja and so did you did you go horizontal and flat like just drop or did you hope that it spun down oh i mean it spun so much there's no controlling i mean i really did nothing so it was just josh's one catching it was just luck do you, I mean, he had to know he was holding it in his hand.

Like he was having to like, yeah, catch it. So his skill on Josh's part, just me, just, I mean, a trained monkey could have done what I did.

Did he, how, how open was the butt? I didn't know I was going to get interrogated about this record. I don't really remember. I was like so far away. That's fair. I don't know.

So that was a memorable one because it was the first, like, this is kind of cool that this is what I do on a weekly basis now this is interesting that was like one of the very first ones uh one of the more impressive ones i was like how is no one else broke this me and joel harney actually wasn't josh because he has shoulder problems uh my my dallas brad my dallas brad my brad we broke the record for most behind the back passes by two people in one minute so just like zipping behind the back pass you know you had to be 15 feet apart or whatever like basketball passes and that was kind of fun could you only use one ball yeah just like zip it back and forth between

each other what's the record took like three tries really i don't know dude that's fun it's probably been broken by now let's break it let's let's do it we should break a record yeah back to the good old days uh the most annoying one last one i'll say just least memorable no most yeah i remember it it was memorable but it sucked it was just one of those like oh we'll be able to knock this out like an hour it was like most flip-flops flicked into like a target in like a minute or whatever and you're just incredibly inaccurate like that just like muscle that ankle muscle or whatever just like you have no muscle memory with it you it's just so unpredictable we had cheap walmart flip-flops maybe that was why too yeah you got to use the more expensive the reefs oh and we were just there all day i couldn't walk the next day you know it's like my right ankle hurt so bad oh it was miserable that's miserable yeah it's just

doing something fun that's actually not fun is like the why are we doing this there's got to be something else we could break but yeah i mean we did like 50 of them so that's awesome there's a lot how'd you find them guinness book of world records.com that one and then there was another site gosh i can't believe i can't remember this we were on it all the time recordcenter.com i don't even know if it's still a website we would always hit them up and be like do you want to sponsor us because like we're really like yeah this is kind of our thing and you don't have that many like people on your website whatever so good luck clint good luck hope you make it in the book someday uh let's do let's do two more what's up jacob brad

Super nice. Luckily did not get kicked out of the mall. So my question for you guys today, I got my driver's test coming up for my license. What is something funny I should do during the test that wouldn't fail me but would just maybe lighten the mood, break the silence, something that would just be really, really funny with my instructor and if you give me something good

and I feel like I should try it, I'll record it, send it. Hopefully it'll be pretty good. Love the podcast. Keep it going. Love you guys. See ya. Peace.

Nice. The yurt's on this guy. Yeah, really. He's gonna do something crazy and record it. Yeah. While taking his driver's test. I'd say run a four-way stop. It's a good prank.

Just crazy. Run a four-way stop prank. Rear-end-a-car prank. Those are funny. Total the test car prank. I think you, if you have access to blank CDs, if not, let me know.

Yes. And you'll give them to you. Um, you burn a CD or just have a playlist on Spotify. I like where this is going. Um, and you're like, Hey, do you actually mind? Like there's some music that I like to listen to while I drive to just kind of keep myself concentrated. It's actually proven, like come up with some bogus stat of like, there's actually research

out there from, um, Princeton that says if you listen to music while driving, that it's actually going to help increase your, um, concentration. And so, uh, the first song you play is India, like the classic India, like who can say, and you're, you're like very serious. And then the next song comes on and it's like, whatever, like some dragon force, like some like crazy hard metal or something like that and you do not change like how concentrated you are the whole time and you're just driving it's like you're like okay and you turn on the blinker very very calmly and just keep driving and see how they react to that that's a fun idea that's one idea if you have blank cds or a playlist or playlist yeah that's pretty funny um or just any any kind of like do you

mind if i blank before we get started like do you mind if i stretch before we get started and then you just do like some ridiculous stretches that are not like that necessary for driving or yeah you know whatever oh yeah okay on that same note you say do you mind if i make a phone call real quick and like no no no all right and you call your parents yeah and you don't have to actually call anyone you just go mom dad if this is the last time i talk to you i just want to say i love you and um i'm gonna give my all but who knows how this is gonna go i don't know i don't know and then you hang up all right let's do this and the guy's like wait are you planning on dying right now in this car this is gonna go I don't know I don't know and then you hang up all right let's do this and the guy's like wait are you planning on dying right now in

this car that's the thing I don't know I don't know so I just why I called them I like to be safe right no I'm gonna do that before every time I drive there's a thing I do I'm just not confident in my driving I love my parents yeah maybe you just start a funny like couple sentences when you're actually driving just like sometimes i wish we could uh let the horses out of the stable you know what i'm saying something like that yeah just like like you kind of understand what you're implying but it's pretty vague too they're governor on this thing yeah i'm just kidding yeah right unless oh i mean maybe you wink at him i'm so bad yeah hello i'm not that much a road breaker unless you know we can or just ask like way too many technical questions about the car like yeah like the governor thing but there's also like now how many pistons fire on an average

average road where's your whiteboard that says how quickly or how recently this thing was changed? These all-season tires? These winter tires? Yeah. What kind of tread we got on here? I'm used to all-terrain tires. These seem like more of like the knockoff Michelin. These 16-inch?

Yeah, I guess it'll be fine. I guess it'll work. I guess it'll work. And yeah, like seem a little bit upset about it, but be like, I guess it'll work. That way, anytime you mess up, you'll just be like, this is not what I'm used to on the Taurus.

This is not how the ultimate drives okay definitely looser steering wheel when we do the brakes are not as sensitive so sorry or just like test out the horn like because i think i think that's like a that's like a polite thing like a safe thing oh what's up oh check this out talk about it we got an interruption harrison just threw a t-shirt of brad vibes dude you gotta look at this on youtube that is dope little supreme action vibes vibes vibes vibes vibes vibes that's because the vibes have been here dude it's because the vibes i've been here dude i'm gonna take off my shirt and put this on right now okay take the top off psych dude psych i got you all to come to youtube.com take the top off hello show me your horn those are sweet very cool um anyway i think the horn

thing would be really funny what kind of horn we got on here like c sharp f or or like be like uh yeah i was trained by and fill in the blank of like a random person you know theodore roxano have you heard of him? And there'd be like, no, no, no. Oh, he was my driving instructor. Um, and he taught me how to, how to pump up the horn. He calls it heavy horning. Yeah. And, and so what, what I'm going to do now, and like explain it to him before, what I'm going to do now is I'm going to go do three short toots and then one very long toot. Okay. Now, of course, correct. You know, you know fill the blank if you already know in sign or in uh in morse code this is okay you don't know it means please stop but so i'm gonna do

three quick ones one long one yeah and you're gonna think the long one's too long but actually that actually proves that it's gonna have enough longevity for the entire drive and so you do three quick and then you just lay on it. I mean, like it'd be awkward. I think anything over 15 seconds is incredibly awkward, but I think you go 23 and a half. And I just go. And about 12 seconds in is when you start having conversation. Anyways, how long have you been doing driving instructing?

Is this your full-time thing? Sorry, I've got five more seconds. Personally, I think it'd be a fun job to get into. I can't really hear you, so... Who can say where you are? Yeah. Yeah. That's a lot of good ideas. I think those all i would i would watch any of those ideas so please let us know that's funny maybe you go into it acting like you are a big car guy

yeah arms are crossed like wear like ford racing shirt honda racing tuck the shirt in with the belt buckles already sorry switch quick random thing i know you're already know the answer this question but did you see justin bieber's tiny desk concert with npr no but he has a new song peaches i just wanna oh different i know that song that song isaac and i listen to it like five times in a row that's isaac's yeah the music video to that is actually really awesome is it yeah it's really cool it's got some dual lipa vibes in my opinion that song i think you just know a couple pop artists you just say everything no no like christian uh you know music it's really cool it's got some Dua Lipa vibes in my opinion that song I think you just know a couple pop artists you just say everything no no like Christian uh you know music it's like Justin Bieber now no no no no no no no and this is like Dua Lipa because we

talked about there's a song by Dua Lipa called don't stop now don't stop that's the I get disco vibes from that song okay I think I get disco vibes from the whole is it hold on yeah yeah like the the uh chorus kind of like drops out and it's just a little bass thing going. I just want to. That's how that's how the Dua Lipa song is. Yeah. You know about music stuff that I do. I just think it's funny.

Yeah. I don't know everything, though. He a tiny desk who's wearing a Honda Racing Club shirt or something. So you wear something like that. Yeah. You cross your arm. You spin a couple of times. You take like a full lap around the car and you're kicking the tires yeah literally kick the tires you kick the tires and then there's all this build up you haven't said anything yet and you and then as you're looking at the tires kicking them you go these are the tires

Thank you. This show has given me so many laughs over the last year. Been trying to get my sister to listen, but she's not a podcast person in all caps. Her loss. I do, however, tell her about the things that make me laugh most each week, which is a lot. It's funny how certain things have stuck because every now and then I'll walk into a room. This is my favorite part.

And she'll say, well, well, well, why? And it gets me every time. Keep up the awesome work. You guys rock. I love the idea of this inside joke and the Brian Turnbow, this guy that like I've never met, like who knows how significant of a guy he was in your life in college. he's an inside joke to this person that's never even like he's like three degrees away from her separation wise and she's still brian tumbo

brian tumbo like i wonder if brian even remembers that like brian i don't keep in touch yeah it's like a small inside joke like i have no idea if you would remember that right or michael kenyon the other guy who was doing that prank with me, you know, and now they're saying it. Right. Yeah. If you guys know Brian Turnbull out there, let him know we're making this joke about him.

And it's it's worldwide. Yeah. He's from Ukraine. We're not to go to France. I can't remember. I'll get back to you over Brian Turnbull. It's one of those cities that I think it's also a city in Texas. Does that help?

But it's in Missouri, but it's kind of towards Kansas City. I think Harrisonville. No, I don but it's kind of towards Kansas City. I think. Harrisonville. No, I don't know. It's near Kansas City. Just look it up. How are you looking this up? Facebook. Oh, okay. Odessa. Oh, okay. I nailed that. Yeah, that is a city

in Texas. Yeah. I knew it was that. Yeah. I just couldn't remember the name. Is that near Kansas City? I don't know. I've heard of odessa around here there's no way of knowing uh my review of the week the title says could this be the thousand review the thousandth review according to brad's metrics talk about vibes oh almost 996 i see 991 okay i was trying to go off your podcast on apple.com i thought okay uh holly mac 07 says,

I'm going to take a big breath of air because we're about to go in on this. There's a lot here. Oh, okay. Been binging this podcast. Let me say it is not bad. And I've got a few comments. In an early episode,

y'all talked about fast food pickup lines. And I've got one ad that was actually used on me by a guy. Not a boy, Jake. Is that a reference to something? Boy. Like, we don't like saying boy. Oh, that's right like that's

been a basketball court yeah but yeah hey girl are you mcdonald's because i'm loving it i'll spare you the context slash aftermath of this statement jake i love hearing you talk about your travels especially new zealand i went there a few years ago and hot dog was it gorgeous the high cup royce peak was hard but worth it i'm sure it would slap different if i stayed awake each time i tried to watch lord of the Rings. Oh, I haven't seen it. That was my words, not hers. Furthermore, my brother worked at Chick-fil-A and ran a 5K as the cow. He received many dirty looks from other runners when he beat them.

Good for him. Get on your feet, slash hooves. For freaking truth, though, I work a stressful, high-pressure job, and doing it from home hasn't been easy. This podcast brightens my day and brings a smile to my face. Love that you two live out your faith and bring your best. Keep on shining your light. Bye-bye. That's awesome.

Holly Mac 07, thank you. Yeah. Congrats to your brother for finishing a 5K in a cow suit. Oh, he would have absolutely beat me. Yeah. He would have milked me like a maid. I was just about to say that.

Brad's got a lot in common with me. Wow. This is where we hold hands and walk into the sunset together, baby. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, my gosh. Did you feel a little, like, emotionally stirred? Yes.

It started off as, like, funny. Like, in my head, I'm thinking, like, dang, feel a little like emotionally stirred? Yes. I started off as like funny, like in my head, I'm thinking like, dang, Heather Lee, like that's so clever. Like, yeah.

Instead of just writing jingles about the same essential thing every time. It's like, no, this is going to be like a new like style. Yeah. It's, that's what I was saying at first. And the next thing I know, I'm like,

when she said like, I want to share with your grandpa at pickleball. I was like, Oh my gosh. Like maybe I didn't want that. Maybe I'm missing something in my life. I like felt emotional there. And then I was like, i don't like how i'm feeling towards brad right now i gotta like i gotta leave i gotta say the pledge of allegiance real quick

pledge of allegiance i gotta think about patrick ewing or something yeah patrick ewing patrick ewing i gotta refocus here it works trust me so i don't know how i feel towards you or heatherly but i feel something hey man nothing but brother. Something is stirring inside of me. Love it. That was really special. Holy cow. I'm like really ready to get married now. Yeah, good.

That was the whole point. Okay. Okay. Let's end it there and let's go get married. Judy. I mean, let's get you married. Speaking of where Judy, you know why that came to mind today is because in Nate Bargatze's special, he's talking about how people asked him did you

name your daughter Harper from like Harper Lee he's like authors were not even close to like what was on my mind when I named my daughter uneducated he is yeah no I've never read that book or which the bits of a podcast that was doing like I think he actually is like not that intelligent he didn't go to yeah I think so too because I think most comedians you have to be smart to be funny but I'm like I think he may be just like, I think he's got like, he's like people smart and funny and stuff. But yeah, I don't think he like,

like knowledge wise. Yeah. Like not anyway. He was like, which is funny. Cause like my middle name is Lee and I still never even put it together. Harper Lee. And then I was thinking,

I was like, my middle name is Garland. Maybe I named my daughter, Judy, Judy Garland. That's cool. But in this scenario, in episode 98,

my wife is Judy. So that's still cool i guess well yeah judy jr judy jr jj yeah jj dual jays dual jays gosh okay uh real quick before we go i wanted to try to find some just okay so oh there was your voice brad uh just some youtube comments there were so many funny ones uh i don't know i'm pulled up but they were just good uh people asking for steve triplet on the next bonus pod i don't know if he pulled up but they were just good people asking for Steve Triplett on the next bonus pod I don't know if he's coming up here I'm going down there for Easter

so you want to come we'll think about it family with me I'll talk about it people really liked it's a brick wall with feelings oh really I think you said that yeah right at the beginning of the episode it's so true I was just it was literally a brick yeah it's true that was Sloan Sloan was a brick wall with feelings

you know it's going that's sloan sloan was a brick wall of feelings um uh you know it's gonna be a zany episode when it starts with veggie tales that ain't a text shawty is my favorite thing you've ever said jake thank you um oh everyone's trying to guess who luke is that's what oh yeah somebody saw somebody thought it was crinshaw which is a great guess yeah the luke who wrote handwritten letters to everyone his wedding no other Somebody thought it was Crenshaw, which is a great guess. Yeah. The Luke who wrote handwritten letters to everyone at his wedding. No. Other people thought it was Hungry Luke from that story. I thought about Hungry Luke recently because I was like, I could easily cheat on my diet right now

and just go get an ice cream cone and Catherine would never know. And then, yeah, except in that scenario, I did know. And then, yeah. We are just so proud of him. I love that story so much. Oh my gosh. Oh, my favorite comment.annah mansberger yeah luke looks exactly what i so i can't even say it luke looks exactly what i imagine a mortgage lender would look like i said that to luke and his girlfriend and they're just like i don't like this i don't i don't think that's a compliment at all i don't think she's gonna get a gift card yeah um okay whatever there's so many on there but uh like 80 70 comments what already on the youtube video i need to look at it again yeah
