So we've been watching a lot of basketball this week, of course, March Madness. And I was actually listening to a game on the way to Oklahoma City. We went to Oklahoma City for a wedding, and KU was down at halftime to Eastern Washington. Remember this? And the announcer's like, oh, my gosh, I would love to be a fly on the wall and listen to what Bill Self

is going to tell these kids in the locker room, these players. And my thought was just like, why choose fly on the wall? If you can morph into anything, why go with the thing that like every time it lands on a surface, it defecates? Yes. Why not be, you know, I don't know, a cool locker that just has a great vantage point of Bill Self or whatever, like something else in that locker room has got to be better.

Once you're willing to open yourself up to, uh, morphing into other things, you have the options are endless. I don't know if we, we start with fly. No, let's see what has like a 24 hour lifespan and mainly lives within a cow's

ear. Right. What do I want to be really attractive to you're attracted to gross things yeah it loves manure yeah oh i would love to be imagine like you're the fly on the wall trying to listen to bill self like give his like motivating pump up speech but all you could do the whole time you're like gosh that crap in the bathroom smells nice i want to fly in that toilet i would love to get on those skid marks i can't even listen because i know you just dropped a deuce

in the toilet. I got to get in there. Dropped a deuce on that thing. 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 the

Ghost Rubs Podcast. Every Monday morning we're taking round the Ghosts from the Spotcast. Ghosts from the Spotcast. Whoa, I literally just got a text from Caitlin Triplett. My favorite part of this week's episode. Whoa, how does she already know what we're going to say? How does she? She's a fly on the wall.

It's like she has ESPN or something. Oh or something okay she must be a shelf on the wall uh no of last week's episode uh was the entire driver's test segment and i've just been creepily smiling to myself while listening to it at the gym so very thankful for mask right now that's a good text yeah low-key brag that she's working out you know yeah that. That's fun. I like when like personal friends and stuff share like, Hey, we really like this part. Yes. You know? And on the flip side, I don't know if there's anything I hate more than when people are

like, now I don't want to inflate your ego, but I've been listening to every episode and I love you guys. It's like, you can give me a compliment. You can just, you can just say that you like it. I don't know. Like, I don't know. Are they like, they think that you're just worried that you're just too much of a big shot already that one more compliments is going to send you over the edge i know and it like it bothers me because i'm like

i don't know if you're joking about the big ego thing or if you genuinely think i have a big ego and i can't handle this compliment too you think i just wouldn't want to hear affirming things from my friend why would i not want to hear this listen yeah i i always want to yeah it's like michael always wants to hear nice things yeah if they're genuine i would I not want to hear this? Listen? Yeah. I always want to. Yeah. It's like Michael always wants to hear nice things. Yeah. I would never say this to her face, but she is a talented employee. You know, I got called out by my group me the other day, uh, for being too much of a celebrity. That's what they use the word celebrity because I wasn't responding to messages quick enough. Okay. And I didn't enter in the bracket pool in time. And like, like, yeah, ever since he's become a celebrity, he's too good for us. And I was like,

first of all, and I like literally took a video of what I was doing. I was feeding Bo. Catherine was like, God, I don't remember where she was getting a haircut maybe. So I was feeding Bo and Hattie. Bo was like screaming at the top of his lungs, had like, just like green, like mushy stuff all over his face face i was like does this look like somebody who's a celebrity to you i'm busy with my kids and my work i'm not busy with like yeah answering phone calls from the president yeah because that's what happens when you are a celebrity happens sometimes i think hey joe joe not now joe seriously joe i'm recording we'll talk later okay buddy joe facetime me later if you can figure it out, all right?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. So anyway. Call for the president. Last night, Isaac and I had our chicken and pickle games. And right before the game started, these two guys, and we kind of know who they are. We're not tight with them. But they start saying something to each other. And then they kind of look at us.

But, you know, they're about 25 feet separating us. I can't hear them. They laugh. Then they look back to each other laugh again then one of the other guys starts talking into his apple watch i all the while i can't hear anything they're saying i don't know what's going on they're just some joke that i'm not a part of yeah and they just start laughing and laughing so then isaac they start pointing at you just starts like we're waiting on them to start the game and they're not serving they are just laughing you know it's kind of getting a little awkward like all right not only we don't know what you're talking about and you're not wanting to play us in this game so isaac just

starts sarcastically laughing he's just like and then they think that isaac gets it so like yes yes yes and then afterwards i'm like what was that about he's like i heard them say your followers that's all i heard so i'm like what your followers the words your followers he's like i think they were making some jab at like oh jake zoning out right now probably thinking about his followers i was like first of all good one yeah that's funny that's a good one that's a good one 2010 and yeah i'm just we're both such big celebrities that we can't answer group me's in time it's tough we sometimes we'll just stare straight ahead when a pickleball game is about to start what's wrong with us yeah too focused on your followers man i'm just thinking in the game yeah that's how it works yeah is once you get um 27 000 right you

just catch yourself it's like oh i'm just thinking about them yeah sorry well you're one of like the only people in the world that has 27 000 followers i mean it is so rare yeah that amount and um and then again i don't know which followers they were talking about this could have been i have about 400 on snapchat yeah it could have been that that could have been it i've been i went on linkedin when i was in college once yeah it could have been i'd say i have 12 13 connections on linkedin connections is that what they call them there i don't know that sounds good because they say they want to connect with you on linkedin So it sounds like a connection could be a thing.

What about, um, let's go Zanga. How many friends you got in Zanga? Zanga. How did you connect on there? I think these guys, they called you their friends.

Maybe you didn't even connect though. I think they subscribe to you. I think it was just like, if you know someone's username, have at it. You can interact. You can do as much as you want with them. Just guess usernames.

Oh, I love Zanga. Yeah. It was turd Ferguson, 17. What was mine? I don't, it might have been basketball brad nine that was my thing for most things yeah but i think maybe i changed it up for that one i don't remember though what was your profile picture oh no way do i remember that oh i'm sorry mine was my dog cookie on the recliner was he reclined uh no she was kind of like oh she was propped up but like her head was like on like the armrest you know looking cute okay yeah dude well we don't have to talk about if you want to

but that conversation with the dogs the other day like floored me like i told i told katherine and peter and sophie about that you're telling everybody yeah i mean that was one conversation with all three of them together but uh yes well it doesn't matter how we got there because that's sad um i don't even remember how we got there but we were getting off the highway and anyway um and jake's like well i'll just tell the whole story do we need to tell this i think i want to save this are people triggered by dog stuff too much that for jake loves dogs for the record i do love dogs yeah i think i want to save this for whenever we have my dad on a patreon episode like he will be the one to hear it from

okay because he's the one like oh people are gonna that people are on the edge of their seat and they're gonna have to sit back in the recliner and wait for cookie to get here i know you guys are curious so let me just give you a sample we just we had some issues with dogs let's just say by the third dog we had in a year and a half span, we named him Lucky. Because we're like, maybe this will help. Wait, what did you say? How many years?

I want to say we went through our first two in like a year and a half. Oh my gosh. Maybe shorter. Okay. That's great. And so we're like, let's name a third dog Lucky. That's got to help. And then Lucky was, oh, he was an interesting dog.

It's like naming the big kid on the baseball team tiny you know like this is ironic right yeah everyone gets this yeah so i mean lucky so because of the first the couple issues we had we we get an in-ground an underground electric fence you know like this this might help keep our dogs in the yard you know we're talking to the guy now is this gonna is this gonna help is this gonna keep our dogs oh yeah i guarantee this thing this will take horses to their knees all right great this should be good enough so that lucky is that's an image right there sorry i'm just imagining that like i just falls to the ground uh right on your driveway like sorry i gotta i got a horse on its knees in my front yard i can't i can't mow the ground right on your driveway. Sorry, I got a horse on its knees in my front yard. I can't mow the lawn right now.

Come on, Charlie. The horse is on its knees. So, you know, we're taking Lucky out. And Lucky's like, I think, like a blue tick coonhound, like supposed to be like a hunting dog. Oh, yeah. And we take Lucky out to kind of show him the electric fence, you know, show him like how this works.

Okay. It's going to beep when you get close. And then when you get on it, it's going to light you up. You know, we tested out first. My dad's holding it in his hand. You know, he walks across it. I mean, it lights him up like a Christmas tree. You know, he, this thing is firing on all cylinders.

So then, all right, it's time to take Lucky on this. And like, we got that collar on there tight. We're like, oh man, I'm not looking forward to seeing my right my dog we just got bad yeah you know welcome welcome to the party pal yeah boom zaps him so we you know we're getting closer it beeps all right now it's time we walk him over it doesn't move a muscle he just he just look at like what's going on guys it's a good day for a walk thanks for taking me out here you guys got any sausage any beef jerky guys thanks for taking me from the pound this is nice guys really appreciate there's a lot of green pastures around here this is a really nice day thanks for taking me on this walk i mean you're

just standing right over it i think he i think he thought he was getting pet i think he liked it he's like yeah it's a nice massage yeah he's doing that thing the dogs do when they start kicking their leg it feels so good that they start you know twitching like man this feels awesome oh yeah this is the good stuff they talk about this at the pound but only the lucky ones get it so that was just one of the issues we have with lucky i mean he was a weird dog we i think we tied him up to the well one uh weekend when we were uh we were going to go out of town for the weekend so we're going to leave lucky outside we got a lot of land you know he'll be fine and but he won't be fine on his own we got it did you say you tied him to the well tied him to the well had like food and water there and like

had like you know angie and john we're gonna make sure he gets fed or something i don't know they might not even be living there we had a plan a place it doesn't matter yeah that's just tying something to a well is like so foreign to me for so many reasons but so we tie him to the well you know this thing goes down 300 feet like it's it's solid. It's going to keep him there. Okay. He somehow, Lucky gets his head, like, out of the collar. Like, out of his collar. Like, we come back Monday morning from the weekend trip, and, like, the collar's there.

Lucky's gone. Lucky's run away. Yeah. So we're like, oh, geez. You know, luckily he comes back maybe a few weeks later. All right. He came back. You know, I think.

A few weeks. Imagine the things he saw. Yeah. I think, quite honestly, he loved the, or he just missed think a few weeks. I imagine the things he saw. Yeah. I think quite honestly, he loved the, or he just missed the love and attention he was getting from the electric fence.

Yeah. He wanted to come back and feel that again. He wanted to get pet again. And he went, he went on his like rum Springer. He went to rum Springfield. Yeah. There it is.

For a few, for a few weeks. And then saw life in the city. Saw some city dogs. Saw some good dogs, some basic dogs. There it is. is yeah i know what you're saying and then he comes back so we go on another weekend trip a couple months later the well doesn't work we get a tighter collar and this time we tie him to the trampoline

we come back trampoline's gone lucky has taken the trampoline with him like it's one thing to have to talk to your neighbors hey if you guys see a dog, let us know. You know, so they're saying, okay, okay. What kind of dogs? All right. He's got a four year old blue tick coon hound. Okay. Any distinguishing features?

Yeah. He'll be carrying a trampoline. He's got a big, huge chunk of metal behind him. That's probably one of the biggest things that would help identify him. I think it's the trampoline behind him. That's how you'll know for sure. Right. So, I mean, he's just gone.

We don't have a trampoline or a dog anymore. Yeah. Lucky comes back again. This guy is lucky. Is a lucky dog. And for the rest of the story, I think just to be continued someday when we have my dad on the bonus pod. Let's do it.

Okay. I love it wow he's not talking about planning on talking about any of that stuff that's great well speaking of being a celebrity not about lucky at all keep going baby uh i went to a wedding this weekend and got recognized as a as the ghostwriters co-host you know what i have to say about that that's gonna sound nice guys put some headphones that was nice one more oh i miss it oh i miss it that's the stuff this guy buddy we swapped you went no soda and i've been drinking a little bit more lately have you yeah you're like it needs we need to support our local you know waco based

The people are just bringing me Dr. Pepper. Yeah. So that's classic. Like Aaron hasn't hung out with you very much in the last couple of years. Yeah least now yeah yeah so she doesn't know but she knows like oh you know back in the day yeah this was our thing like he definitely will drink all the dr pepper you give him oh yeah it would bring a horse to its knees how much dr pepper he had uh anyway so yeah i went to a wedding in oklahoma city and uh this guy was like hey are you i don't remember exactly how he said it but he's like are you part of the uh, this guy was like, Hey, are you, I don't remember exactly how he

said it, but he's like, are you part of the ghost runners? And I was like, yeah. And apparently his name's Gabe and he's a listener and he was in Trey's fraternity in college. Cool. Um, and he was videoing the wedding. Um, and so my dance moves got a little bit tighter after that. I was like, Oh boy. And I was kidding. Um, but anyway, there wasn't too much of a conversation behind it but he's like yeah i just follow you know trey and through that follow jake and then love your guys's podcast so cool awesome shout out gabe yeah at this point katherine just rolls her eyes every time something rolls her eyes she's kind of like oh my gosh this is just the beginning i'm becoming too much of a celebrity this is just the beginning katherine it's about to get way worse uh but anyway, it was funny. But yeah,

the wedding was fun. We had, we took Hattie with us, which was fun. It was Laura Gabriel's wedding, obviously. And Laura's one of our close friends and someone that we really hung out with a lot whenever you first moved to Kansas City. She's really great. And I, I like, I cried so much at the wedding, dude. Oh, really? Yeah. Like big time. Like could have easily, like really, really held it back. Like could have easily like been like, but come on, it's the weekend. Oh wait, you did help. You did hold back. I know I did cry, but I'm saying like, it could have been like even worse is what I'm saying. I thought you were saying like, you could have held it in, but you decided to just let the tears go. No, I don't think I can

help. I can't do that. I can't hold it in completely, but I held it in enough to where I wasn't making a scene. You weren't shaking. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But like Laura, I mean, they got married and they've been dating literally longer than Catherine. I had, they've been dating what, 21, 22 years or something. It's crazy. Like they've been on and off and everything. And she's been like so faithful and like loving. And so it's whatever. He's been a great guy too. But anyway, and it was like just this wonderful, like, Oh, you're doing it. You're getting married covenant bond. Uh, and it was just awesome. Cause Hattie was there. And so like, I was like holding her up to like, show her this princess of a bride. She was loving it. Like she thought it was, she thought it was cool for like five minutes. And then she was ready to bounce.

Like, she was like, okay, that's how I am too at wedding. So she was expecting there to be dancing at the wedding. And it was like, Oh, That's how I am too at weddings. She was expecting there to be dancing at the wedding and it was like, oh, we're going to a wedding and there will be dancing but that's at the reception. It's kind of like this confusing thing. She came ready to dance.

So she was sitting in the church pew like, what's going on here? No one is dancing. Who do we got here? So anyway, but then we went to the reception. Reception was fun but I don't think we left until 1045 with Hattie

and so it was a nightmare to get her to bed and everything. But it was fun. But I was hoping that Hattie was going to dance. She was really excited about it, but then she got too close to the dance floor, and she said the loud music was scary. Sure.

I was like, no, it's not. Not at all. And so we spent most of the night just like, it was on like the 35th floor in Oklahoma City, which is like pretty high up in Oklahoma City. And so we just like looked over was on like the 35th floor in Oklahoma city, which is like pretty high up in Oklahoma city. Uh, and so we just like looked over, you know, the whole city and or how do you thought that was awesome. But, um, anyway, I, I have a few thoughts about wedding reception dancing. Hey, I love it. Like it's awesome. I love it. And I think I came to the sad realization

that I don't know if I'm going, if I'm in the right stage for it anymore, because what's happening, unless my kids, I guess, don't come to the wedding with me. Um, it was just really hard to dance like too crazily with Hattie there. Cause I like to, I like to gyrate my body. Yeah. Yeah. You get gone. And you know, I don't, I don't really, I say, Hey, everyone else needs to look out for me. I'm not looking out for anybody else. My eyes are closed. So it's on you if you get stepped on. I don't pay attention to it.

I think we talked about this before. I don't pay attention to anybody else when I'm dancing. I just do my thing. Yeah. And so I don't, but with Hattie, you got to be like, am I going to step on this girl? Like, is she going to feel the wrath? And so. Sorry.

I went to Funky Town a couple of weeks ago and I'm doing my thing. No one's even on the dance floor, but I don't care. and i'm doing my thing no one's even on the dance floor but i don't care i'm still doing my thing it's very empty yeah but i'm doing i think my eyes are closed i look up and someone is filming me is there anything better than that yeah i love it right just like i what i was doing like just encapsulated him so much he's like i need footage i need like proof of this right that's the best you're like okay but how about you just dance with me? Great battle.

Yeah. Great battle. There was a few times where I found myself like out of nowhere, people would stop dancing and just watch me and like, yeah, do the circle. I don't like that. Don't do the circle. And so then it's like awkward because I don't want to stop dancing completely, but I'm like, guys, no, no circles. No circles.

I'm dancing. Like, don't do this. Like, I don't want this. Fill it in. But anyway, I just had this realization because I was like,, don't do this. Like, I don't want this. Um, but anyway, I just had this realization because I was like, I don't think, you know, I don't think I'm going to be able to do this much more. Cause like by the time my kids get old enough where they're not relying on me anymore, I'm going to be like the 40 year old. I'm not going to go nuts. And

when I'm 40, maybe I might, you know, I, I said that about when I was 30, probably like, oh, I'll, I'll mature someday. But, um, anyway, that about when I was 30, probably like I'll, I'll, I'll mature someday. But, um, anyway, that was weird. And then it was weird. Like, I'm sure you've noticed this while you're dancing. I don't really look at people, but every once in a while I noticed that there's, uh, people sitting down. Cause you usually like a dance floor and the old folks all around. Yeah. The old folks. I don't like how it's like a fish bowl. It's like, it's like, we're their entertainment and they're just staring at us. Oh yeah. I don't think how it's like a fishbowl. It's like, it's like we're their entertainment and they're just staring at us. Oh yeah.

I don't think I enjoy that. I kind of like an audience. Do you? I've said it before on this podcast multiple times. Dance like everybody is watching. I like to feel like I'm performing for them. Yeah. See, I just, I guess I, I like it when I get off the dance floor and I'm like, you know,

taking a break with some cake and they're like, you have, Oh, you mentioned cake break and a bug just fell. It's kind of between the cameras. You guys didn't see that, but flick it like, you have, Oh, you mentioned cake break and a bug just fell. It's kind of between the cameras. You guys didn't see that, but flick it at you. No, that might've went up my sleeve. No, it didn't. It went over. Okay. I don't know. Maybe it went up your sleeve. I felt in between my fingers anyway, but I love when I'm taking a cake break and they're like, Oh, I saw your, you had some great dance moves out there. I like, I like that. Yeah. But I don't like it in the moment when I look over and there's some like, Oh, I saw you. You had some great dance moves out there. I like, I like that. But I don't like it in the moment when I look over and there's some like, you know, people in the

background just kind of clapping along and just watching me from afar. Um, so anyway, just, just had those thoughts. You're a sight to see on the dance floor. Yeah. And I, I, and that was, that was part of it is I got there. So it was me and juice man, Chad, Chad's also, uh, a big one. So our friend Chad Houston, great guy used to work at a juice man, Chad, Chad's also, uh, a big one. So our friend Chad Houston, great guy used to work at a juice store. Uh, and so we call it juice with Chad, uh, part of the, part of the chicken story. If you throw back to that, uh, he was the one that helped me dispose of some chickens. Um, but he's got like super long, like crazy hair right now. Nickname is just so funny. We still call that. Yeah yeah that was in the same era like hungry luke

and juice man chad like all those came at the same time it was a good era um but anyway he's got like i bet his hair like goes halfway down his back right now but he had it up in a ponytail uh but like i get out there and chad's out there juice man chad and esther you know then his classic like oh it's to get electric in here. And then you feel like this pressure. And I don't like that feeling of like, everyone watch, like watch what these guys are going to do. Just wait until Brad gets gone.

It's like, no, no, no. I just want to dance for a second, you know? So I probably only got to dance for, I don't know, a total of 10 minutes, enough to get sweaty. Okay. That's not bad. But it made me think like, are my dancing days over? So if you're out there and you're getting married and you want, you want to see a guy dance a big

man, I've, I've thought about like dancing for exercise. Yeah. Is that ridiculous? No, my sister does it for exercise. She'll dance in a room for exercise. That's awesome. Yeah. You guys should do it together. What if, what if that's like the new gym is like, like the new J G Y M gym is like, we all just like, I guess that's kind of what a club is, but not really. It's like what Zumba is. Yeah.

But I don't want it to be Zumba's like a choreographed stuff. I want it to be like, it's just, Hey, we're just going to play some music with the intention of just like getting sweaty and getting fit. It's a fun idea. Yeah.

Or like, I've always thought like, what if I just wake up in the first five minutes of my day? I just put on a song and just dance. Like you can get some good workouts in from dancing. I mean, I think my sister is going to have some thoughts about this because I think she does this. Okay. If she's like, oh, the gym's closed.

I'll just dance. I love that. That is the most awesome thing. Yeah. I don't know. Yeah. Can you imagine like, cause Catherine would not be into it. So like,

I'd have to be very confident in my thing. Like I'm going to do this. Hattie's like in the corners, like reading her book about the night and the dragon and like Catherine's. Yeah. And the bathroom or I don't know. I like to imagine you have to hide it from her. You're kind of embarrassed.

You don't want her to know that you're dancing. Okay. So just like, yeah, just dancing. She comes in. Brad, what do you?

Oh! I thought you were sitting on the six. We have a basement below us and so like, the ground is pretty hollow and like makes some noise. So if I'm jumping around too much, I might just like wake her up

and just be like, dun, dun, dun. And I'm like, what is going on? And she wakes up and there I am just dance punching. That's a good thought.

Have you ever been to a silent disco? No no i think we thought about going to one in barcelona but i don't remember it so i don't think i did that would have been fun but yeah have you been i went to my first one ever in florida two weekends ago with family church it was uh daily church whoa oh what do you think what do you think that church is all about huh what do you think some of their core values are i don't know families yeah you love you love that they named their about? Huh? What do you think some of their core values are? I don't know. Building up families? Yeah. You love that they named their church that, don't you?

I was going to keep pushing into it. What should we call this church? I don't know. There's a lot of kids and parents here. What are you, like families? We go family. What are you? Wait, say that again.

What about family? What do you think? Family ministries. Family, well, it's a building, you know, that people come to. People are the church, not the building. Family, family church, family church. Write it down. Write it down.

Sit on it for, you know, simmer. Let it simmer for a little. Mother goose it a bit. But they had it was a it was a silent disco. It was really cool. Three different DJs. You know, you could select your which DJ you want to listen to on your headphones oh that's kind of interesting it is interesting because people are not dancing the same beat it's like a fun idea but i don't think i i think i'd

rather just have one dj because then they're over here doing the cotton eye joe and then they're over here like singing along to don't stop believing yeah and then but like this guy's playing like t-pain or something so it's i don't know but uh it was full of middle schoolers and high schoolers so it stunk to high heaven so i didn't really want to get in the mix that much literally smelled it smelled really bad yeah but one of my uh friends that i knew i don't think i mentioned this two weeks ago randomly kind of knew him from canica we never worked at the same time but he did programs two years after me so we kind of knew each other he was one of the djs He leads worship at family church and he was

getting dominated by the green DJ. I was like, I got to show some love to blue DJ. So I go in there and get after it for a little bit. What do you mean you go in there? They're different rooms. I was just like standing on the outside being like, yeah, that smells really bad. Oh, there's a lot of kids in there and not a lot of masks. Can you tell like if what, who they're listening to? So the headphones light up. So you can see like, like wow like everyone's got green right now feel bad for christian that would make you feel bad and so i go in there i start rallying some kids just like you know hey we're all going blue everybody's i feel like uh old school we're going streaking

right everybody through the quad that'd be fun that i do like that aspect of it like all right everyone change it to this now or something but i guess instead of doing that you could just change the song as a dj yeah but so it was cool yeah i think it was fun to dance i and like you i only did it for about 10 minutes but i was like enough like i got really sweaty still yeah and made some memories for some kids got christian hyped up again you know it was fun but, yeah. Like if I dance for an hour at a wedding, like I'm like ruining my like suit sweaty, you know what I mean? Yeah.

Like it's bad. So like Catherine's like always made this joke of like, oh, I always have to make sure to take a picture with you, you know, at the beginning of the reception or at the wedding or something, because by the end of the night you look like a different person. Dude, I've been sweating so much lately that I'm like, I think something's wrong with me. That was one of the first things you ever said on the podcast. Really? Oh, it was my left armpit. Yeah, your random pit sweat. My armpits are back to normal. Armpits are

great. I found a dove for mint. Oh, yeah. Nice. Nice. Dove for me. But just so much water is leaving my head. It's like, shirt? Not bad. I've kind of figured out which kind of shirts to wear. But it's the head. Just the head. The head. Lose about five, six pounds a night at pickleball.

Yeah. Okay, specifically at pickleball, not just like randomly as you're walking around. No, not like driving or ordering food. That doesn't get me going. Okay. But exercise. What do I want? You're so nervous about it.

That's funny. Okay, Brad, we need to talk about last Friday. Last Friday was a good day. Let's talk about it. I would say that the topic, the theme of this day was people who work at a job not wanting to adequately do their job. Okay. Let's start with Friday for lunch.

I text you, Brad, and say, can Isaac and I come over and watch some March Madness? You say, come on, baby. Yeah. We stop at Chili's. We get our classic three for 10. Chips and salsa, can Isaac and I come over and watch some March Madness? You say, come on, baby. We stop at Chili's. We get our classic three for 10. Chips and salsa, chicken caged in pasta, no tomatoes. Actually had it for lunch today. Still spectacular.

Yeah. And a large strawberry lemonade, please. Isaac and I get both of our food. We leave, get all the way to Brad's house and realize they didn't even give us our drinks. Dang it. So we turn around. We just go to Sonic to get some drinks from Sonic. Sonic, I think, worked out all right. I'm trying to think. And then dinner. thanks dang it so we turn around we just go to sonic to get some drinks from sonic sonic uh i

think worked out all right we um i'm trying to think and then dinner well that was i had andy's for dinner so i guess i guess dinner worked out all right had andy's for dinner and then last second late night andy or late night dinner should we go to we should go play pickleball right now let's do it and you and i haven't played pickleball together in three or four months probably yeah at least so we do it we find a fourth I haven't played pickleball together in three, four months, probably. Yeah, at least. So we do it. We find a fourth and we book pickleball at this place that I play out probably once a week. You book online.

It's easy. They send you confirmation email. You know, you pay for it and they don't close till 10. We book from 830 to 10. We show up. What do we see, Brian? We show up. We show up and I'm like, I've never been here before.

And so I'm like, wow, there's like no cars in the parking lot. Like this is kind of crazy. And you were like, yeah, well, we were like, all the courts were open when I was booking this thing. Yeah, it was easy. So we walk up to the door. It's locked. It's locked.

All the lights are off. Most of the lights are off. So we're like, something's going on. I try to call them like three times. They never isaac calls him once they answer that was a little fishy yeah i'm totally sure how that worked uh but isaac gets a hold of him like hey uh lights are off doors locked and he's like uh it should be open i don't know it's not and he's like well my my co-worker should be there okay and i was like well can you tell him to come be here then he's like yeah i'll be there in 10 minutes we wait probably

20 and what do we do during that time we just hang out you don't remember yeah we just hung out and watch youtube videos yeah it was awesome we watched youtube videos about animals what do we watch animals we watched a french it was like a french planet earth yeah we watched like something about a jaguar getting dominated by an alligator or quite the opposite versa yeah you're right yeah um and oh in the ibex the ibex climbing this dam yes oh like it was like literally like a vertical wall that this thing was just like, yes, licking the salt on the dam. Damn.

Oh, yeah. And then we watched a Michael Jordan, like rare footage of Michael Jordan. Oh, yeah. That one was kind of lame. We were all over the place. Yeah. And then we watched, oh, what was it? Legendary fakes.

Remember that one? No. That was at the very end. Just any kind of fake that's ever happened in sports. Legendary fakes. that one no that was at the very end just any kind of fake that's ever happened in sports legendary they weren't legendary at all yeah just be like oh it was like a lamar jackson run where he like juked left and then ran it was like a play action oh yeah i was like yeah i guess that's a fake rpo kind of thing but uh anyway yeah so we waited for like 20 minutes we we have time to watch all these videos on youtube and they're like we should call

him again probably right and he calls him okay uh five minutes and i will literally what did he said he will literally be there in five minutes that's what i heard i could hear over the phone okay i was listening right next literally literally five minutes he shows up and unlocks it for us and he's got doesn't say a word oh that's true no like i am so sorry guys i'm so sorry just unlocks it and walks in we had reserved at 8 30 to 10 o'clock and i think it was at this point 8 55 yeah that sounds about right yeah walk in he flips on the lights not a word spoken to us he's got a kid with him hopefully it was his not really you know no way i always assume that it's just the i do too yeah that guy's kid yeah just my that's just i always see the good in people like that so it's so we start playing pickleball about 45 minutes in you know it's our time's about up

we're trying to like really hurry and play we got this closes by a 10 and we were thinking surely they'll let us be here a little bit past 10 hopefully or we should get our money back probably so the kid comes up to us and says hey you guys can play until 10 30 if you want it's like oh awesome okay that's great we still get it in like an hour and a half then thank you so much i think he like walks away but then comes back wait a couple minutes a minute or two later and it's like also guys um just hit the lights when you leave and we're like it kind of slowly dawns on us oh so we we are locking up now yeah you you guys are leaving never spoke to the adult he never said anything to us no he was watching shark tank or

something on tv did you see that no yeah i think it was shark tank it was something on tv literally shark tank i am literally out so then they just leave and i i've been wanting to tell scott peck so bad because i've seen him like three times this week and i haven't told him he's finding out right now on the podcast that we played three hours of pickleball i had all of sw19 for to ourselves it was awesome stay there till midnight yeah it was scott peck's dream and he did not get to be there he could have been well i don't know what he could have been but something about probably moving or taking care of his kid softball i think oh so softball i was way. He could have been something about probably moving or taking care of his kid. Softball, I think. Oh, slow pitch softball.

I was way off. He could have come after. But yeah, it was awesome. It was great. I played terribly. I was frustrated with how poorly I played, but it was like, I haven't played in so long. Oh yeah, I didn't think you played that bad. Really?

I guess I was just like, I had put a lot of pressure on myself because I was like, these guys play all the time. I want to be like good enough for them to like want me to come play with them again. Oh no, Isaac and I talked afterwards. We're like, that was pretty good pickleball. Like sometimes you can play, you play with certain people and it's like,

it's still fun, but I did not feel like I got better tonight in any way. Yeah. Yeah. And that was, no, that was great. Okay.

It was really fun. I mean, we laughed really hard and yeah, we had some fun time. I'm trying to remember what we laughed at specifically. I can't remember anything, but it was fun to, too good.

But yeah, it was a good time. So that happened. So a little, uh, back to this day of no one doing what they're supposed to do afterwards which i knew even at the time i'm like brad may not like this because he's on the schedule where you're going to bed at like 9 9 30 dude yeah it's already midnight i almost said no to pickleball and i was like i can't say no to pickleball but i was like it'll get over at 10 and i was like that's fine and then like we were late and i was like that's fine 10 30 i'll get home by 11 then he's like midnight but then like we kept like we had this opportunity and I was like, that's fine. And then like we were late and I was like, that's fine. 10 30. I'll get home by 11.

Then he's like midnight. But then like we kept like we had this opportunity and I was like, I'm not an idiot. Of course I'm going to play. Like I'm going to play until somebody else doesn't want to anymore. I said that. I was like, I'm never going to be the guy. I won't say I'm done. No, I'm never going to be the guy that says let's go.

And you didn't. It was Harrison. Yeah, I was. So bummer. Harrison. Sorry. Harrison. Harrison to Harrison to point out. let's go and you didn't it was harrison yeah it was so bummer harrison sorry harrison harrison

too you know harrison 2 yeah point out so it's already way past brad's bedtime but you gotta understand we've played pickleball for three hours uh everyone's pretty thirsty yeah and i was like let's run through mcdonald's real quick it's pretty long mcdonald's drive through but i was like come on it's it's don't go fast it't. This is why we need just drinks. Yes. It's taking forever to get through the line. Oh, I forgot about the guy in the drive-thru. I was even planning on mentioning this. Oh, I thought that's what you were going to talk about the whole time.

No, I didn't even remember this. Oh, yeah. So we've got our window down about to order so we can hear outside and this guy comes out from basically the dumpster. Yeah. I don't know where else he could have even come from. Kind of scaled down.

Yeah, this wall. Goes to the truck in front of us and we can hear him pretty loudly say you guys want to make 200 and i guess they refuse so the guy just starts walking away he's going to go find a new dumpster to hang out in or something yeah isaac rolled up rolls down the window oh wait hold on before about five minutes before this isaac gets a nosebleed again isaac gets a nosebleed what's his deal dude i've never seen anyone have this many issues with the nosebleed again isaac is nosebleed what's his deal dude i've never seen anyone have this many issues with the nosebleed but so isaac's getting blood all over himself he's doing a good job he doesn't want to get in my car appreciate that yeah so it's just you know i've got some chipotle napkins but that's not enough not enough so he's like i'll just do it on my shirt so i mean yeah

he's like i'm committed by now all over his shirt over his face kind of you know he's still got like a napkin in his nose so picture that image and now picture him leaning out the car hey i'll make 200 i'll make 200 hey yeah i'll i'll do it guy walks over not even somewhat fazed by this blood-faced man who said i'll make 200 and he proceeds to tell us guys i messed messed up. I'm so dumb. I, he's kind of slurring his words. You start to see like what kind of dummy he is. I,

I wrecked my car. I like went over this like ridge thing. And now like, I need someone to like help get my car back. We don't even fully understand the problem. He wasn't really coherent, but we're like, Oh, sorry.

I don't think, no, none of us are mechanics. So we don't really know yeah how to fix your car like i'm sorry good luck and kind of tried to offer some advice like you should call an uber just get uber call an uber and figure it out in the morning yeah because he was he should not be driving like yeah obviously you know and he didn't want to get the cops involved because he knew he was going to get a dui right and so it's just kind of this funny interaction

we have. We go through. I recorded it for Patreon, but then he said too many things. I was like, I can't. He said a lot of things. Yeah.

Uh, did anything bad happen at McDonald's? I think we got our stuff, right? It just took forever. I think it took forever, but we got our drinks. Yeah.

Oh, they didn't give you your water. That's fine. I didn't, I didn't find it though. I was cold for some reason. I was really cold in the backseat. And so I was like, no, I don't need your water that's fine i i didn't i didn't find it though i was cold for some reason i was really cold in the back seat and so i was like no i don't need it it's fine so otherwise fine except when we leave when we see the car we're like oh this dude messed up imagine imagine like a uh a ford taurus um being used as a teeter-totter that's what it

looked like it's in a very well-lit gas station. I mean, it's so easy to see. Right off the road, a main road. And it is, yeah, just teeter-tottering on a curb. Like the area of a gas station where maybe you would fill up your car with air. Like it's kind of off to the side. Yeah, in the corner.

And he just rammed the curb. And now it's like facing the ditch. He's gone a downward slope, teeter-tottering. And not only is this image of the car already hilarious, but he's sitting in the driver's seat. He's just like depressingly sitting there. And Isaac's like, yeah, he's going to fall asleep and wake up in the morning at that thing.

Poor guy. Got a good laugh out of that. That was good times. We take Brad home. But Isaac and I are starving because I've had Andy's frozen custard for dinner. And I think while we were driving home, maybe while we're in the Papa John's McDonald's drive-thru,

Isaac orders us Papa John's. Yes. So excited. They closed the actual restaurant at 1230, but they were open for delivery till one. That's right. And it was like 1235 at this point. Like,

so you're like, we got to hurry. Let's hurry and do it. They say order accepted. We're making it. It's on its way. Great. Isaac credit card gets swiped.

It gets, it gets charged. So we get home at about 1am. Like we're going to time this. Perfect. Like pizza is going to be waiting for us. We got a McDonald's drinks. It's going to be awesome.

And it's like one Oh five, one 10. I'm just sitting on the steps. It is like Christmas Eve. Like I don't want to go to sleep. I'm just so excited for this pizza. Get it here. I'm just sitting on the steps. Haven't showered. like i don't want to go to sleep i'm just so excited for this pizza getting here i'm just sitting on the steps haven't showered haven't changed clothes i'm just ready to devour this pizza 105 110 115 like oh no where is this pizza like are they this busy five minutes isaac goes to check the app and it says your order has

been canceled like no they could just cancel your order he tries to call them but they're closed obviously so that doesn't work and then to top it off so then we're like let's call sarpino's No, they could just cancel your order. He tries to call them, but they're closed, obviously. So that doesn't work. And then to top it off. So then we're like, let's call Sarpino's Pizza. They're over till 3 a.m. Oh, now we're talking. OK, we call.

We place an order. We're like, we'll do carry out or delivery. Doesn't matter. We'll go get it. He's like, all right, that's great. But it would be probably a little over an hour. What? For pizza?

What? It was just had the worst like all day just no one wanted to do their job that sounds like a mcdonald's worker late at night saying the ice cream machine's broken like pizza i think takes not very much time to like make and cook and everything oh like don't you think that he was just like stalling like it'll be an hour but are you sure you still want it okay yeah sure i know what happened because i was like i feel like there's like a better like exclamation point on this story i remember now while we're waiting for uh sarpino's pizza when we thought we were going to have that i was like you order no so you did go for sarpino's no sorry i'm this is my first time

telling the story so you know it's kind of hard to remember the details from six days ago we already canceled the sarpino's. Like, this is taking forever. Forget it. We got pizza rolls at the house. Oh, yeah. We will not be denied. So I get all the pizza rolls out. Combination?

Of course. Yeah. 50 on a plate for Isaac and I both. Oh, sure. It's about to be a night. I'll smoke his blood. So, you know, I'm getting all of it ready. I put them in.

I'm like, Isaac, you go watch this. We've already downed our drinks. I'm like, I'm going to go to McDonald's, get us another round of drinks. Sure, sure. Go to McDonald's for the second time in like two hours go through the drive-thru this is a different mcdonald's they say uh i mean what's definitely not even english at first but whatever not gonna make fun of that part but i'm just like what what did you say he said i said we're closed for the next 30 minutes why you're open 24 hours yeah just for 30 minutes you're closed for everything and so i'm like can

i just get a drink and he goes i kid you not i wrote it down so i want to remember he goes yeah it'll be a dollar nine which is the normal price that a drink costs i swear he said that and it kind of threw me off i'm like oh no that's great that's like a punishment like yeah you can get a drink but you have to pay me one dollar nine cents for it i'm like no honestly that's great. That's like a punishment. Like, yeah, you can get a drink, but you have to pay me $1 and 9 cents for it. I'm like, no, honestly, that was, that was my plan. Yeah. Yeah. That's great. And so then he's like, all right. So like, okay. So just to make sure, like, that's, it's still, even though you guys are closed, like, yeah, I can get two drinks. I want two drinks. He's like, yeah, but it'll be two 18. I'm like, no, that's, that's great. I don't care about the price. I love, I love the idea of the drive-thru worker doing that.

Like, yeah, can I get a kid's meal? You know, happy meal, you know, number two, whatever, like a smoothie. Yeah, but I guess, but it'll be $18 and 64 cents. You're like, well, what's normal price? 1864. Yeah. I mean, if you want that though, if you want that, that's how much are you going to pay for it? I mean, if you want to pay full price, sure. It's like, geez, like, I mean, if you want that, though, if you want that, that's how much you're going to pay for it.

I mean, you want to pay full price. Sure. It's like, geez, like, I mean, nothing this entire day. Nothing has gone according to plan. I pull up to the window. And of course, there's still one other thing. They go, oh, well, we are closed. So it's cash only.

Luckily, I have some cash, but whatever. Yeah. They can't give me change, though. No change. So I think this guy's just pocketing cash. I was going to say, that guy definitely just whatever. What? Yeah. They can't give me change, though. No change. So I think this guy's just pocketing cash. Yeah, I was going to say, that guy definitely just stole your money. Yeah. But whatever.

I need my drink. Yeah. So he takes my money and puts it in his own pocket. And then I'm like, just out of curiosity, like, why are you guys closed for 30 minutes? And I wrote this down, too, so I wouldn't forget. Quote, we have to clean so that there's less to do later. What? Couldn't you just kind of clean throughout the whole night

and not shut down for 30 minutes straight? What if every once in a while, while you're cleaning late at night when not very many people go through the drive-thru, you just take their order? You're on a headset. I think you can get a little mopping done while you're on the headset. Yeah, I don't know. I don't understand that. Maybe if it's like we have to clean a machine that we can't make McChickens out of, then

say, no McChickens for 30 minutes. Yeah, but we are closed for 30 minutes. No. How come? Well, we have to clean so that there's less to do later. That, that's silly. I mean, I say it all the time. I don't want to clown minimum wage fast food workers too much because it's kind of low

hanging fruit. But I mean, that it just a full day. Whoa. Yeah. Full day of knowing what to do. But you kept going back to the well. I did. I mean, for you, for that, it's like just as much my fault.

I just keep going back. Yeah. So did you ever get to the bottom of the Papa John's thing? Do you think that they came to your house and you weren't there yet? Is that a possibility? Oh, I guess guess so you didn't think about that that was my other thought was like maybe what's doing contactless delivery though i mean i think they just leave it on your doorstep oh even pizza people definitely definitely pizza people pizza pizza people huh well cool so and then the very next day this isn't much of a story either but it just kept happening where it's sonic i wouldn't play the same volleyball with a bunch of my

friends i'm the first person to order and then just like my my food never comes after like re-ring the order did you order before let me guess what you ordered let me guess okay uh sonic you ordered mozzarella sticks nah uh you ordered cheese curds no no you don't like cheese very much apparently you you're like French.

And I'm here to say I like the zoo. Zoos are cool. They're fun. And I don't think I've been to one. We have like a petting zoo in town that we go to every once in a while,

but I haven't been to like a real zoo in a while. And animals are nuts, dude. I love animals. Yeah. Like we just, I mean, and this was a good zoo,

Oklahoma city of a good zoo. I'm not saying it's like amazing, but it was small and compact and walkable in a couple hours. And we just had fun going there and saw some really cool things. Um, but one of the things that was crazy was there's a animal called, I wrote it down. Oh, copy. Okay. A P I. You ever heard of that? Hold on. I know. I don't even know what like type of animal this is. Oh, copy. Oh, copy. Spell it again. Okay. A P I. Any, um, accent marks. Oh, copy. No, I was kidding. No, no, no. Okapi.

Okapi. Oh, copy and paste. Yeah, my bad. This is a mammal? Yes. I'm not interested in any amphibians. You're not? No.

I didn't know that about you. Not the zoo. I'm Brad. I'm left-handed. Not interested in amphibians. Anti-am in amphibians get those fibs out of here put that on your casual resume do not bring up amphibians in the interview at any point it's not gonna go well for you yeah hey welcome to hy-v uh you're gonna really like being like working here but just do not ask brad about amphibians remember that joke he never uh he never played

frogger growing up no i'll just say that. Don't ask why. Or maybe he played a little too much. We don't want to ask. We thought for a while, Brad had a really good friend, Scott growing up. We thought maybe they were amphibious together. Um,

but turns out not, turns out not. No, no, no. He's married now. That's right. To a woman.

Uh, okay. Okapi is a mammal. Yes. And I don't know what it, I think, I think it eats little bugs. I don't know. For sure. I wouldn't,'t i wouldn't i wouldn't put it past him i wouldn't put it past him and oh go ahead or like i don't

even know what else to really say and he's native to africa that's true okay and it's it's half it it is obviously its own animal but it looks like it's half it. It is obviously its own animal, but it looks like it's half. Groundhog. And half. Snake. That's right. Very interesting creature. You've been there.

You've been there and seen this. It looks like a scary belt, but with fur. That's the Okapi. Yeah. Very dangerous. Don't look them in the eyes. We're talking about animals here, guys. No, it is. Well, okay.

So the whole time, like people asked us beforehand, like, how do you, what do you want to go see at the zoo? What do you want to go see? And she said two different animals. She said flamingos and zebras. And okay. Uh, we saw the flamingos. I was saying flamingo seems Oklahoma city would have that.

Oh, right, right there when you walk in. I mean, they had, they had almost anything you can think of. They had no copies for crying out loud. Um, but they had the zebras. Jaguars? I don't know if I saw a Jaguar. Jaguar. We definitely saw tigers and leopards.

So surely they had a Jaguar. Jaguar. Le Jaguar. That was the only word we can understand in this entire documentary. Everything else. Oh, no. And what did they call the crocodile? They call it something else. Like a completely different word.

It was a new word. That was like, maybe that's another word for crocodile. Anyway. I'm going to find it. Okay. Anyway, so Flamingo's right there, but she really wants to see the zebras. So everywhere we went, there was like these, like we literally saw this monkey do this like really cool thing where it like ran and like jumped and like swung itself up

and like got on a tree. And she was just like, okay, I want to go see the zebras though. And so I was like, okay, we're going to see the zebras, but just enjoy everything else. Cause we can't just go see the zebras right now. Monkeys are crazy to look at, especially up close. Like when you see that they have fingernails and like the way their teeth look and like they have thumbs and apes using tools. Yes. I'm like, I don't know if I like this. Like, yeah. Like, like these apes were just like hanging out in hammocks. Like it looked like they were talking to each other. Like it was like, there was one of the apes named Bo.

And we thought that was so funny. You know, it was the most talkative of the brothers. It said, oh, I found the word C-A-I-M-A-N. Kaiman. Is that what it was? That was what was in the video. I mean, I found the video. Oh, really?

Yeah. OK. Anyway, so the Zebras... We'll play later. No, let's play! Alright, let me try to find... That's, uh... Le Capybara. That was like those little things, right?

Yeah, yeah, the groundhog looking things. Oh Oh, here's talk about the caiman coming up Et puis enfin, les seigneurs du fleuve, les caimans. Les caimans! Les caimans! I think you should go like next time somebody's like mess around you like oh, he's not focused He's thinking about his followers be like they call me les caimans Got another bug right overhead. Dude, what's going on down here? I don't know.

I killed a spider in the shower a couple days ago. That's probably, they're seeking their revenge. It's a tremendous act of bravery. Think about killing anything when you're naked. It's scary. I don't care what it is. Because if it goes wrong, it could jump into the wrong places. Yeah, because he was up top.

And so he was like a dry spider. Oh, he was up top. Yeah. Yeah. And so I'm like, one wrong move. He comes down on me. Now I'm hitting myself. You know, you go,

you go like top of the shampoo bottle. You go hand. I close fist. I waited until he started dangling down on his Charlotte's web. And then I used like some of the shower curtain as like my, my material between me. Oh, he fell down multiple.

Yeah. Yeah. I think it was my first time killing something while naked it felt good felt primal very primal yeah just like the apes uh or la caima la caima uh anyway we saw the zebras and right next to the zebras were the okapis okay and i i don't know enough about zebra i don't know enough about animals like i'm i'm motivated to learn more about animals after going to the zoo i was like animals are so fun thank you that's where i've been yeah yeah like like we've talked about our planet like i watched the first couple episodes and i stopped i'm gonna get back on it's so good the op train but i saw these animals over the side of the zebras and i was like wait a second this Did you look it up?

This is not what I expected them to look like. Yes, dude. My goodness. So I was like. I've never seen this animal. I was like, wait, do zebras. I can't believe this is real. Do zebras not start out with their stripes?

Because that's what. So that's kind of what it looks like. It looks like it got dunked. It looks like. So it's half zebra. I always think it's like a half zebra, half cow or half horse or something. Something's going on in its face. Something's weird up there.

But the bottom half is a zebra. Yeah, you dunked it in vanilla syrup. Yeah, they dipped it in the paint and then brought it back up and let it run down. But it's this crazy animal. But the craziest thing, in my opinion of it, was that it wasn't discovered until like 100 years ago or something like that. Think about that. Like out of all the animals in the world and like all these people exploring like these, this animal was able to like camouflage and like hide away for so long,

especially a large mammal. It's one thing to be like, we found a new squid. Sure. Yeah. A new species of ant, but it's like, no,

look at this huge thing. Low cup. La. Oh, copy. I feel like I'm saying it like pablo escobar or something like plato ocapi uh but anyway so yeah just i i was i was amazed by the ocapi because i'd never heard of that before um in oklahoma city of course out of all places would have the ocapi but i'm gonna look up how the french would say okapi just so we can know you ready yeah okapi okapi that was so that was a little too too do they do they let you do

it in a man's voice yeah can i get deep is there like oh maybe i can go like uh you know haitian kind of french yes is that an option yeah i'll type in creole to google translate creole no results oh well anyway that's cool that you like you discovered that animal and now i'm discovering I'll type in Creole to Google Translate. Creole Okapi. No results. Oh, well. Anyway. That's cool that you discovered that animal, and now I'm discovering this animal. Okapi, check it out.

People are still discovering it. Look it up. So anyway, a lot of fun with Hattie for her birthday. Nothing too crazy except for that, but huh. Even a baby Okapi has the dipped legs. That's so interesting. Yeah. Well, the crazy thing was like, oh, did i just learn something new about zebras that like because you just assume like dalmatians you

know dalmatians don't start out with spots they don't no that's the whole thing with uh 101 dalmatians like when they first when carilla dill first sees them she's like these things are terrible like they're not going to be good for my coat and they're like well they grow into their spots oh and she's like okay then grow into their spots. Oh, okay Then I'm okay. It's time to trampoline. Yeah, um, there's no 101 Dalmatians too much so Yeah, it's trying to a trampoline Anyway, that's fascinating. Thank you, Brad. So one thing I briefly want to mention It's not the most positive thing but it's just it's fascinating. It keeps happening the ghost runners curse

This has happened several times. It used to happen more. The stocks. Oh, the stock. Yeah, that's kind of one. I remember it happened with John Crist. Like the week of, as soon as like- Then we kind of bashed John Crist. Anytime we mention someone that we don't really mention,

something seems to happen to him. So what happened? So this happened two weeks ago, and I've had it in my notes for two weeks, and I keep forgetting to bring it up. Remember, randomly we mentioned Sean Bradley, and then we went off for like five minutes at the beginning of the podcast

like, alright, so that's been the 90s basketball players over seven feet tall. Sean Bradley is paralyzed now. What? Yeah, like just happened. What do you mean? I mean, I know what paralyzed is. Like I think he got in a car accident. Oh, wow. The car accident apparently happened in January but they didn't like tell the press or tell anyone

that it happened until until two weeks ago. So the day after we recorded that, I saw it on ESPN tweeted it. It was just like, sad to say, Sean Bradley has had this terrible car accident. Okay, so no more pop culture references for us. Seriously, yeah. Dang. Sorry, Sean. I think he was on a bike and got hit by a car, and now he's paralyzed.

Dang. Well, okay. So we'll be selective with now he's paralyzed. Dang. Well, okay. So just... So just we'll be selective with who we mention next. Yeah. I mean, it's easy to find patterns and coincidences in life, but it just, it does seem to happen quite a bit. Can you think of other ones that we've done?

I remember that stock thing where you're like, guys, invest in this stock. I didn't say invest in it. No, you're like, this is gonna be... You were just jokingly like... I was like, this is what I did. Yes. You had a good feeling about it. And then the very next day it dropped like 20

but maybe it's gone back up it's a long long game it was like a year ago when it started happened a lot because i remember right around when he did john chris that when all that happened it was like three weeks in a row we did something and something happened i don't remember some some og ghosties will remember yeah comment below if you know yeah he's definitely more huh who knew well i don't know i just got an email that uh hattie's soccer tonight is canceled we're signing up for soccer i didn't think she was a sporty girl we're we're getting her there yeah we'll see how it goes we literally haven't done it once we like signed up for like a free like kick around to see how she would like it it's so

funny like katherine kick around katherine i like I, I'm not exaggerating this literally never played a sport in her life. Like didn't even once, you know, like didn't even like play soccer when she was five. And so she has no, she's so foreign to like the sports thing. Like she was like really nervous last night. Like,

I just don't know how, how he's going to do tomorrow. Like, what if I don't like give her a water bottle? And I'm like, she's four years old with soccer. She's like, if she hasn't dressed you know like in the right active wear they said she has to wear active wear i was like oh my everything's an active wear for four-year-olds like you could put her in jeans and she'll be fine like it's so anyway but it's been raining

I am super jazzed and will definitely be on my feet because I will be celebrating my, hey-oo, 30th birthday. To continue the festivities that weekend,

I'll be having a rooftop cabana pool party with some friends and I need some 30th birthday. To continue the festivities that weekend, I'll be having a rooftop cabana pool party with some friends, and I need some 30th birthday checklist challenges. So you know how some girls on their 21st will have to do 21 things, like take a shot with no hands, or get 21 selfies with 21 people, blah blah blah. No. I want some random

goofy challenges. So give me your best ideas. Also, Jake, you and Trey are invited to join this exclusive pool party, as you guys will be in town. And I know Trey can't say no to the Seltzer Saturday pool day. So I will be hitting you up in the DMs.

And Brad, you're... Was that purposely? What do you think she's going to say? And Brad, you're not invited. Brad, your shirt better stay on at the pool party, okay? I'll be there. That's pretty crazy. With bells on.

That she will be celebrating her 30th in Phoenix the same week that we are going to Phoenix for Harrison's 30th. Yeah, literally. And she's going to the show after the show that I'm going to be at. Yeah. We're going Wednesday night. Yeah. Yeah. You have multiple on Wednesday. We have two Wednesday, two Thursday. Oh, must be nice, dude.

That's awesome. So we're going to the second one. Yeah. Late show Wednesday. Yeah. Is the late one the rowdy one? Not every time. I mean, typically if it's a weekday night, then yeah, probably.

But if it's like a Friday night, like an early show, it's going to be pretty rowdy. Yeah. Cool. I'm excited. Yeah. You're going to like it. I'm curious to hear what you have to say about Trey's set, too. Yeah.

Because I think it's pretty cool. Yeah. People love it. Oh, I'm excited. Yeah. Gosh, it's going to be fun. Okay. So, Sarah, that's pretty sweet.

Sarah, I mean, I guess we'll see you in a couple weeks, probably. I don't know. Yeah, it is. It's going to be hard to avoid you. Sarah, that's pretty sweet. Sarah, I mean, I guess we'll see you in a couple weeks probably. I don't know. Yeah, it's going to be hard to avoid you. Rooftop Cabana, I'm down for that. I don't know if I'll still be in town when this is happening, but sure. Okay. I'll start doing some ab workouts. Sure.

Or just get like spray tan like in the right places. Now we're talking. Yeah. I hit up my girl. Okay, so 30 zany things to do for her 30th birthday. Is that what she said? 30? Eh, kind of. Oh, man. Just so zany things to do for her 30th birthday is that what she said 30 kind of oh man just so zany i mean uh there's a friend's episode where they all turn 30 and that's a really good episode so watch that when you wake up watch that when you wake up i think it's what it's called the one where they all turn 30 okay easy enough um uh just trying to think of what i like

how crazy are you trying to get sarah like are you married what kind of things should you or should you not be doing rooftop cabana she's not married no way rooftop cabana is like is like a single thing like like if you're married you're staying at like you know uh no nice b&b in scottsdale airbnb okay i didn't know it's like oh like a locally owned bed and breakfast. That's nice. Maybe. Maybe.

I mean, Catherine right now would be like, that sounds pretty nice. And she's married to you. She is. Sarah, here are just some

random challenges for you. I think you get an adult diaper and you... Did not expect this. You got to grind on a guy somewhere at night in your diaper.

Oh, OK. Then. Someone else has to wear the diaper. You play a game. Loser has to pee their pants in the diaper that night. This is different than how the Friends episode is pretty fun, too. Just try to think of zany things to do. Come on.

It's it's Scottsdale. I guess if you're at a pool right next to it, you know, you just go in the pool. You need to jump in afterwards. Oh, there goes the buzzer again. Try. Harry! Harry!

Your clothes are ready! The Scheme, though. That's a great documentary. You're welcome, buddy. Hey, you're welcome. What do you think Harrison looks like in those glasses? Like, what kind of a person? Yeah. Before I say anything, I'll say,

I do think Harrison looks good in his new glasses. But when we were in Target yesterday, he put them on. He's like, what do you think about these? I said, oh, David Koresh you look great yeah and then it is like it is a little bit like uh come over here so people can see um it is a little bit like first of all definitely 80s feeling like 80s early 90s this is the isaac i like that um david k, though. Yeah, David Koresh. You like them? No, yeah. I think, like, they're just old school. Kevin, I went to small group last night, and Kevin looks at me, and he goes,

you know who you look like? And I go, whoa, it's David Koresh. Dang. I was like, did Jake text you? And he's like, no. Shoot. Did Jake text you? Hey, when you see Harrison.

Call him David Koresh. Yeah, I don't know. Do you remember Kurt Rambis, the basketball player? No. He was eventually the coach for the Lakers back with Kobe and Shaq, but back in the day he played with Magic and some other guys, and he wore some glasses like that. Kurt Rambis.

Yeah. Call me Kurt Rambis. Just Rambis-ing around. Oh, shoot. We just cursed Kurt Rambis. Oh, did we really? Oh, no. Why?

Something's going to happen to Kurt Rambis now. Pray for Kurt. Pray for Kurt. Get the hashtag going, shoot. We just cursed Kurt Rambis. Oh, did we really? Oh, no. Why? Something's going to happen to Kurt Rambis now. Pray for Kurt. Pray for Kurt. Get the hashtag going, guys. I'll get my laundry. Okay. Okay. Thanks, buddy.

No more meat. Okay. Next voicemail. Hey, Jake and Brad. My name is Sarah, and I work in student ministries at a church in Illinois, and I would love to hear your best stage game ideas. With COVID, it's been hard to come up with some new games, and I know you have a ton of experience with youth ministry and camp, so I'd love any and all of your ideas.

I really want to help them get through this time as an Enneagram 2 wing 3, but I guess that's just my winged bear. Anyway, you guys are the best. Thanks so much. Bye. Thank you, Sarah. I mean. This is all you.

I was going to say, this is all us when she hires us to commentary. Yeah. You want this for free, Sarah? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, I'm going to get out of bed for... Brad, tell her the price. For more than $1 million. For more than $1 million.

How's your mom? How's your mom? That's post-tax. Just make it part of the sentence. You know what I'm saying? Sometimes Isaac will laugh like a little bit and then he'll realize he kind of sounded like, like that laugh. So just do it.

Kind of lean into it. And I'm like, I think that's just new. Your normal laugh a little bit. Just try to make that your laugh. Like he'll just be like, Oh, that's good. Okay. So stage game, we'll give you some stuff for free. I guess here's, here's the overarching, I'll say the macro thought that I have on stage. Yes, Brad, tell her that I think at least for our experience in youth ministry, it was much better to do big

team games than individual games in my opinion you know like uh because what happens is if you only have two or three people up there being contestants sometimes the kids especially on the i mean they're on their cell phones all the time now jake oh i mean the kids these days and they're snapping they're snapping air pods tight pods when does it stop how many more pods do we need huh jewel pods Huh? Jewel pods? Oh. I think that's a thing. Oh, good one. Yeah. Yeah.

It's like a big thing. We harmonized that laugh there. Yeah, we did. Anyway. Hey! Harry! Harry! How did it buzz again?

This is like a Seinfeld apartment. Like someone keeps getting buzzed up. You're killing me, Chris! He liked that one. He liked that joke. I can hear him in the background. He's done. Anyway, all I'm saying is I think that like when the entire group is you're not like whether it's

boys versus girls usually boys boys boys girls very good competitive you got the testosterone the estrogen just mashing against each other just just getting all up in there um anyway i just, I just think that's a, that's a really good strategy just to get, uh, get, get them going against each other rather than like, like at least for us, like if,

if there's only a few people up there, the people in the audience, whatever, don't really root those people on very much in my experience. This is a good thought. This is a good segue into if you are going to do a game where only one or two people come on stage, I like to try and think of cool ways to still involve everyone. for instance uh a game i did at family church in florida did

i tell you the name of the church is called family church ben so that's like their real name that's their official name like llc i don't know if they're actually i don't know how they were they follow taxes yeah but um corp probably probably yeah but they are family church family church yep family church of of gainesville or whatever, though, right? Gainesville. Of Latter-day Saints. A lot of people don't know that, actually. Oh, that's the controversy.

Non-denominational Mormon church that used to be Baptist. Good for them. Interesting. Oh, I did this in, where was I? West Palm. And I've done it at Canada Cook and stuff before. So it looks like Deal or No Deal. But you do a little photoshop it's called meal or no meal you can find plenty of like powerpoint templates online where you can like customize your own thing so then you

have like leaders or volunteers or whatever they're like your we always had like guy counselors they were like my show boys and they would have like the cases okay all right then you bring a kid up on stage and say you're gonna be competing in meal or no meal. Now, little Max here is not just competing for himself. Every one of these cases involves or has a food item in it. But whatever one he ends up with is what everyone in the audience will get. So you need to be cheering him on, help him decide. Does he take the deal? Which cases he, you know, help get them involved.

And I think it does do a good job of keeping them, like, gripped to the stage because, stage because like i could be getting anything yeah and so we would always do like uh you know bad things like you know the one dollar one essentially you know there's uh jake's dirty socks like i will give you all my socks right now yeah every one of you or we have dog food celery sticks yeah nothing you know air water i think it gets better and better okay you know rice crispy tree okay travel size toothpaste oh who doesn't need that no you know then it's like the you know whatever taco bell or chick-fil-a meal you know that's like the bell of the ball and you know you have them eliminate five cases or whatever and then you have like a banker come and at k west it

was always matt ford which is a lot of fun he had a microphone in the back and you got to play the music music is so important in any game you gotta have music background music filler music yeah so you have like the banker music it's like really serious and you have someone who could like deepen their voice my offer to you matt ford did a great job we had the cfo of family church be our banker so he was in the balcony we had a separate camera on him so he went up on the jumbotron and he's in a suit. I mean, like introducing like,

this is the CFO guys, no money, nothing gets bought in this church without him signing off on it. He is going to try to buy you out for as little as possible. You know? Okay. We try to set up and he did a fun thing where instead of offering food kind of in the middle,

he would be like, all right, Max, forget about all these kids. I'm going to offer you and only you the brand new PS5 with a controller, you know, and there's a lot of middle school guys in the group just be like, take it, take the deal.

I wouldn't blame you. And all the girls like, no, don't take it. Who cares? So it was awesome. So once the banker gets involved, then the crowd really gets into it, you know, because then I'm like, should he take it? Should he take it?

Even though I've talked to Max before. I'm like, don't take the deal. Pick case number five, because we already have all the Taco Bell. Oh, God. So yeah, I guess that's pretty much the game. Yeah. Meal or no meal. There's one.

I'll give you one. That's fun. OK. That's a good one. OK. That's your one. Good luck, Sarah. We're good?

Yeah. I think we're good. Yeah. I can't wait for Harrison's laundry to ding again. I can't wait. Hey,'s laundry to ding again i can't wait hey boys it's your girl olivia guthrie from southern california um quick question for you guys so uh my older sister just became a junior high leader at our church and she was talking the other night about how they really need like new game ideas for a youth group.

And I was like, oh, I should leave a voice memo on Ghostrunners to see if Jake and Brad have any game ideas. Because I'm sure if there's anybody in the world who would have good game ideas for junior high kids, it would be you two. So, go at it. Have fun. I'm sure you guys have tons of good ideas from working at candy stuff so yeah what do you guys have thanks love you guys bye bye i can't believe i can't believe it never had this issue with gray i mean once he got those glasses he just he he became so irresponsible gosh it's like you couldn't care ash how do you know i don't trust you at all right now when does it stop with

the buzz what you mean you didn't know i told you you. I told you. You turn off the buzzer. There's not the setting. Figure it out. I will say that's one of my least favorite things. Like with microwaves, like three, two, one, beep, boom, open the door and it keeps beeping. It's like, look, hey, I know the timer's off. I'm a big one second opener. I just think they need to change the way microwaves work. Once they open the door, you don't need to keep dinging. Sometimes they do that.

Sometimes they do that. Oh, I want that microwave. Yeah. Someday. Too bad you can't test that. Yeah, I know. Can I plug this in? I brought my own generator. I'd like to see how this microwave works. That'd be a funny thing to watch somebody do. Like get a bunch of microwaves out of the boxes and try out their beeps. Oh, yeah. I do not like that aspect.

Okay, so any ideas on games to play for youth games? I mean, Gorilla Man Gun for sure. Oh, yeah, I do not like that. OK, so any ideas on games to play for you? OK, so youth games. I can't believe that. I mean, Gorilla Man Gun for sure. Those voice modes are literally back to back. We got both those yesterday, like within a couple hours of each other. We just scream and exude youth ministry.

I've always said my I mean, my personality is a camp counselor. That's exactly who I am. Yeah. All right. New game, Olivia. Go for it. This one I've done twice and it's went phenomenally twice you pre-arrange it to where you know like you can't do this at summer camp you got to do this at like a church where you um where like their moms are readily available

so you you get three moms define readily available in the area can show up when it's time to be on stage okay you pre-select three moms of high school boys. Oh, I don't like this already. I see where it's going. I don't like it. You know, you got to you got to know the guys in your group who is going to be a good sport. You know, discretion is up to you. But here's how you set up three moms who are in on it.

Three guys who don't know what's happening. Three high school girls who are in on it. You say, guys, we're going to play a game called the kissing booth. I mean, one of Netflix's best originals ever. I think it won some awards. I loved it. Love the kissing booth. We're going to do our own here. So I'm going to choose three guys and three girls from random. You select the guys and girls you've already chosen in your head. You bring them up on stage. All right, guys, get a good look at these ladies in front of you because one of them is going to be kissing you. But the trick is you're going to be blindfolded. OK. And like the girls know like, Hey, don't worry. You don't have to kiss any guys,

but the guys are just fired up. The first time I ever did this in Indiana was Stu. One of the guys had chapstick in his pocket, starts applying chapstick. And it's just like, yes. You know, like they were excited about this. They're fired up. Really? Okay. And so, uh, yeah. So there's like all this like momentum building like oh my gosh are they gonna have this high school just kiss on stage church phenomenal yeah and then once they get blindfolded then we put up a thing on the powerpoint that says like okay shh don't spoil this don't react at what you're about to see yeah right just play along the girls completely leave the stage moms come in one by one.

You know, you got to play it up. All right. Lucky girl number one. Go ahead and choose your guy. And then her mom will come up, kiss her son. And, you know, the guy's reaction is always great. Like usually, you know, the guy's just sitting there blindfolded, gets kissed. He's just like fist pumping.

I mean, the footage I have of these guys being kissed is so funny. It's just the best game. It's the best. You can imagine their reactions after they get kissed. And then it's like, all right, so guys, your blindfold is going to come off here in a little bit. The girl that's currently standing in front of you when your blindfold comes off is the one who kissed you.

You know, I'll interview them while they're still blindfolded. How do you feel about the kiss? You know, just get them talking about it. It's so good, dude. Oh my gosh, dude. And then. So cringy. Three, two, one. You rip off the blindfolds and they just die inside oh it's awesome it is incredible we did that one

time at a pep assembly uh you know a little more secular uh setting but uh but with yeah when we did it we had the guys with girlfriends like it was like the girlfriends and so okay so they were a little more comfortable i guess kissing that's my only thought is like i don. So they were a little more comfortable, I guess, kissing. That's my only thought is like, I don't know if as a seventh grade boy, if I'm like rare and just kiss a stranger. No, yeah, we did with like high school guys. Okay. I think they said they were middle school, middle school director or something. Oh, I didn't even catch that.

I was thinking about Harrison's dinger. Or not that, buzzer. Oh, I'm just thinking about his dating links. Okay, okay. Hopefully this next voice-over is about youth games. Hey there, Jake and Brad. It's Lisa. And I feel like I know quite a bit about sports, primarily baseball. But with March Madness going on and been watching hours and hours of basketball,

there's something that always confuses me. It's when the announcers say there was a foul against Iowa. Now, does that mean Iowa committed the foul or that the team committed the foul against Iowa? There's other ways that they word this that makes more sense, and then there are some other ones that are still confusing. So if you could please just clear this up for me, that'd be great. Thanks. Bye-bye.

I see what you're saying now. Yeah, I can see how that could be a little confusing. But I don't think, just for future reference, I don't think they'll ever say, like, you know, if KU is playing and the KU player gets fouled, I don't think they would say,

they would ever reference KU in that point. They wouldn't say, Devontae Graham just got fouled. They would say. It's always the fouler. The offender. Yeah, the offender,

the aggressor. So that's my only. It's like the foul was charged against Iowa. Right. That how what they should say probably yes sometimes i guess they miss a word against iowa yeah who hasn't there are different i wish i could think of more of them on the spot but there are different other sports terms like that they've always bothered me the only one i could think of right now it's just

how we abbreviate runs batted in we say rbis which makes me think run run batted ends yeah oh you got three run batted ends yesterday oh you got three run batted ends yesterday right congrats brother yeah there's a few different things like that don't they definitely rbis has always got me like that like yeah that's the only thing i can think of right now yeah but there's definitely like a few other sports terms like that i'm like i don't we don't word this the best way yeah you don't like next gen stats have we talked about that on the podcast i think i was off the pod i've always just thought it's ridiculous. In football, they're always like,

yeah, he had a 0.6% chance of catching that football. I just don't buy it. I don't buy it next-gen. Yeah, exactly. No one's ever going to challenge you. Yeah, he had a 0.6% chance of getting this ball off, and he got it off. It's like, did who's gonna

fact check no one even can fact check like there's no like even if you do have the ability like the calculations are there like yeah it's just no no one sure you're making this up to sound like you have a cool like advanced thing but really just throwing numbers out there at me like the old show sports science at least theirs were like metrics I'd heard of. It was for the most part, 95% useless. It is with the same pressure. But they broke it down.

Yeah. Yeah. They broke it down. I understand it. I just don't need you to compare everything to a silverback gorilla, but I understand like what pounds per square inch means at least. Right. We don't need to,

Oh, copy, you know, comparison here. This is the, when he kicks a 64 yard field goal, it's like an, Oh,

copy. Yeah. Let's hear that againapi breaching at birth. Let's hear that again. Shall we? Sure. It's hard to do a French. It's so thick.

Yeah. I need peanut butter. That guy's got a nice voice. I can't do a French accent without peanut butter. I told someone the other day, it was when we were all sitting at Sonic after a sand volleyball. I was like, Oh,

I still love that. Yeah. Yeah. I was like, Oh, I still like, we'll pound peanut butter sandwiches. And she was like,

just peanut butter. And I was like, Oh, I was about to say, she was like, Oh, well peanut butter and honey. I said that.

And then she just goes, it was just getting stuck to my mouth. It wasn't like, wouldn't that get stuck to your mouth? I'm like, no peanut butter, honey. Oh, dude, that's funny. I do something similar to that in the shop. When I can't find something, I start like me or miming what I'm trying to find. So like, I can't find my hammer.

And so I'll just be like, I will. I'll be like, like, I guess like to Mike or my, my brain, like I'm looking for the hammer, you know, like the drill, like I'll be like, that's going to be more of a YouTube thing, but like, you can just imagine like what I'm doing. Like, yeah, I'm just like using a drill and it works almost every time. I don't even want to know what you do when you can't find your wife in a store. Yeah. I don't know. Yeah.

If it was a different podcast, you could show me. If it were the shop. If she were in the shop, yeah, I'll show you. That's what we call the table saw. No, that's the power drill. The power drill. Yeah, I love how you called it the power drill. I know. I've learned since then.

It's just a drill. They're all power drills. Oh, man. A little redundant. Yeah. Anyway, RBIs. Kind of like RB then. It's just a drill. They're all power drills. A little redundant. Anyway, RBIs. Kind of like RBIs. Foul against Iowa. What's up, Jake and Brad?

This is Brandon. I'm calling in from College Station, Texas. And just wanted to call in and sort of tell you about an experience I had with the kind of just drinks idea. So I was recently working. I work with one of the athletic departments down here in, uh, in Texas. And, uh, we, uh, unfortunately had a water, water pipe burst during the freeze. So we were unable to serve food, um, at the concession stands. And so it was just drinks. Um, and the amount of times that people came up asking if we had food and I

was like, Nope, just drinks, just drinks, just telling people just drinks left and right. And they just, you know, didn't understand what I was saying. Um, but I still think it'd be such a great idea, a huge investment opportunity for a lot of people. I heard Mark Cuban might even call in, um, which I would love to be the first investor for just drinks. But my question is, uh, what, uh, would be your go-to just drink that, um, would be a specialty to just drinks outside of the sort of main sodas or pops as y'all call them. So does our pops. Thank you, Brandon. Cuban. If you've been interested in investing, I'm going to take Cuban first, but I'm sorry. Sorry, Brandon. Yeah. I'm sure you're a great, you know, business investor yourself, Brandon. I'm sure you'd be very hands-on,

but we need Cuban. We need the cubes. Yeah. I've thought about that legitimately before. I'm like, I don't have the money to like get Just Drinks up and going, but like, could we kickstart this? And then like some, one of the ghost runners just runs it. You know, obviously it's like, there's a reason I didn't follow through with that. I'm like, I don't think this is a good idea. Like, it would be fun to get this going. Well, you don't think the business is a good idea or just like the idea of starting the

business is a bad idea? I think the idea of like 300 people being involved, all with different dollar amounts. Right. Yeah, it's just like it's messy. Yeah. Yeah, true. We've never done anything like that. We have no idea how to manage all those people who have equity in a company.

And I don't even think I would want to do that. I think I would want to do like a Kickstarter where it's like you get something immediately. Okay. To help get Just Drink started. Gotcha. But what do they get? And most of them don't even live here so what could we even give them they would want well eventually worldwide yeah so just when it comes unlimited just drinks when we for a life when it comes to kalamazoo you're good once we open there now if we don't then we're just kind

of pocket your 50 sorry sorry east lansing but This is just a gamble you're having to take. We don't know if we're going to Michigan or not. No, that's a fun idea, though. You can invest now. Get on the ground floor, and you can get a card that makes you good for life at Just Drinks. Anytime you come to Just Drinks, you get a free one. Yeah. Forever.

It's not like a one per day, one per person. No, it's one per person. And it says Just Drinks Angel Investor. Oh, yes. Yeah, they only one per person. And it says like just drinks angel investor. Oh yeah. Yeah. They only made like 70 of these. Yes. And so you're taking a risk because who knows, it might just be one little hut in Shawnee, Kansas, or it might be 500 all over the country serving gourmet coffee and you get a $10 Frappuccino for free. Like imagine if, you know, I'm trying to think about like a founder's name if ray dick mcdonald oh yeah offered this to you on their podcast 60 years ago and said hey we need money

for our first store we'll give you free mcdonald's for life think about that just drinks uh i don't know what flavors we would have oh you know as much as i ragged on it last week i did love what butterbeer tasted like i'd like to make something like that i wouldn't call it butterbeer but it's like a like a cream soda call it like cream juice not no no that's good that's really good jake that's really good your 30 year old bachelorette party you could do that your face because you knew right away like that was wrong i shouldn't have said that but something cream soda based i think would be my i don't know what we call it something i think you have to call it cream juice uh i love i love like cream sodas as well. I love vanilla flavored things. And so an unlikely duo, vanilla Sprite.

No one really talks about it. Damon probably like it. You're crying a little bit over there. Yeah, Damon would love it. And I think we just call it one of our friends' names. Maybe we call it the Steve Fulbright. Oh, fine. Cousin Steve-o.

The gunner. Yeah, the gunner. So I love the idea of just naming them after people. Or Enneagram numbers. I think that's a big area we're missing. We got to commercialize the Enneagram more. Yeah. Yeah.

Oh, you're a four. You'll love grape. And you're like, gosh, I am a four, but I hate grape, but I guess I'll have to get it.

It's almost like this doesn't add up. Hi, Jake and Brad I'm Taylor I'm from Kentucky and I love your podcast it makes me laugh out loud every single week okay and I have really long hair and I just recently got it cut very short the reason I'm mentioning this it doesn't have because it's part of my question so i want to post this like transformation on social media but i want the caption to be really funny and so will you come up with a caption for me to post about my haircut on social media and I will make sure I credit

the ghost runners on the caption and then all my friends will know about ghost runners. That's it. Bye-bye. Oliver's friends? This got tough to do on the spot. I'm terrible at this stuff. People ask me this all the time

but more often than not, I will give them a couple captions like, okay, that's funny but people wouldn't think it's funny if i said it so i'm like that's kind of the truth about life though okay well i mean that's right that's all i got for you then that's that's how life works though like yeah some people deliver things funnier than other people so it's like okay so don't ask me then. That happens all the time. Yeah. This is what I would say. Yeah. Um, let's keep it basic. So when you have long hair,

you look kind of like a lion. So you have a main, and so you do a pun on main, like welcome to the main event. Swipe for, swipe for, uh, Simba to, or Mufasa to baby Simba or something like that is that really good that's

really that's really good thank you i think we stick with the large animal thing because she said she's in kentucky this actually is where whales are so you'd be like i had a whaley big thing happen to me oh i forgot about the whales i was thinking something else i was in kentucky whales kentucky derby where they race the whales that's right yeah they race the whales. That's right. Yeah. They race the old copies. This isn't really a caption now. This is just, this is what your picture should be. This is so bad. Okay.

When people, you know, when people get a lot of their hair cut off, usually they'll do like a post like, donated 10 inches to Locks of Love. Yeah. I think you take a picture next to the back of a horse, like a horse's tail, and you hold up your hair next to the horse. Like, this hair right here is going to one lucky horse. We're going to see him at the Kentucky Derby later this fall. I'm so excited. Go and then make up a horse name.

Like, make sure you don't forget. Yeah. You know, Ecclesiastes nine. He who hates me. Yeah. Horse names are awesome, by the way. I mean, just anything is a horse name. Yeah.

Toothbrush Killer. That's a horse name. Go Toothbrush Killer. mean, just anything is a horse name. Yeah. Toothbrush killer. That's a horse name. Go toothbrush killer. Toothbrush killer coming down the pipe. Yeah. Long sleeve shirt. That's a horse name. Literally just,

just close your eyes and imagine anything. Yeah. Blue donkey. That's a horse, right? Now I can't think of anything besides blue donkey. You're that is perfect. I love that idea.

And I think that's universally funny and i think it'd be one of those things people would be like i'm kind of confused what's going on did she actually donate her hair to a horse and that's funny like like people being confused is funny in my opinion so that's great so i mean the hardest part is gonna be finding a horse to photograph with but she's in kentucky so it's not that hard they're everywhere i was gonna say she would need to have like dark hair but maybe it's funnier if she has blonde hair like this has got to go on the back of a horse like just bright blonde hair dude that's great that's great I mean that's about as good as I can come up with on the spot I'm not gonna come up with like a clever caption right now

so that's no that's perfect there you go Taylor there you go hi Jake hi Brad this is Hannah from Baton Rouge, Louisiana. All right. I'm a junior in high school, and my family and I are going to be moving to Austin over the summer. I'm going to be spending my senior year there and probably only my senior year because after that, I'm most likely moving away to go to college. So with this one-year gap that I have, I don't really have time to like put down roots or anything there. And I've lived, this is completely new for me. I've lived in Baton Rouge my entire life in a pretty tight knit community, the homeschool community.

And I'm still going to be homeschooled in Austin, which throws another wrench, I guess, in making friends and connections and all of that. I'll still have church and I could probably still do clubs and things. But aside from that, I was wondering if y'all had any advice on how to make the most of this year and make the most, or rather the greatest amount of friends and the greatest of friends. All right. Thanks. Thanks, Hannah. Yeah. Wow. First of all, it's a tough situation. Yeah. Senior year. Yeah. But it, welcome wow first of all it's a tough situation yeah senior year yeah but it first of all just without knowing you for more than 59 seconds or whatever that was i think you're going to have a positive outlook no matter what she's very self-aware yeah of her situation yeah you seem positive you seem like you're already looking for ways to make it more

positive which anybody that does that is a positive person in and of itself, I think. And so you're going to be just fine, but I don't know the, the, I guess as a little bit of a consolation prize, I will say that most of the people I hung out with in high school, I don't hang out with anymore.

And so don't be too worried about like finding your soulmate best friends forever from high school, because in college you make more soulmate best friends. I don't know why I'm using that term. You're, you are throwing soulmate out a lot. Um, but you know,

you just, you just, you're going to gain way more friends in college. Not saying that these people in high school that are listening are like, Oh, I'm never going to get like friends anymore. But, um,

you know, you just, you just go different ways and everything. So that, that's, that's one consolation i guess if you're if you're like oh i'm not finding these like great friends and great community in austin that's okay because you're going to you're about to be spoon-fed so many great friends it's i mean

it's hard not to make great friends so true yeah it's true um so that's yeah that's not a great like practical advice for finding friends now i think it think it's on one end, I think it's just easier as a guy to kind of like quickly become friends just because sports are such an easy way to just hang out and kind of do nothing. It's a casual way of becoming or watching, you know? Yeah. It doesn't even really matter that much. So I don't know if you're a sporty gal.

I do pity Catherine in that sense of like, gosh, it is so easy for me to just be like, Hey, let's hang out. And the guy will be like, yeah, let's do it yeah and with Catherine it's like like she has to like make way more plants and you know whatever it's just harder for girls but sorry sorry that you're a girl I'm just kidding um but yeah sports could be the thing I don't know maybe you're a sporty girl a little disc golf a little I mean Austin's a cool city it's got stuff it's got like rivers I think maybe you take up a little kayaking yeah maybe you find a little little niche of high school kayakers i don't know but all it takes is just that one thing yeah and then it's gonna get so easy just find

yeah yeah become a part of just this one thing one time i mean obviously i don't know i guess i'm assuming things because she's homeschool which is so dumb but obviously church is great church oh she did yeah yeah sorry i missed that, yeah. Sorry, I missed that. But yeah. I think rely on that. That's going to be your pipeline. Yeah, that's absolutely good. So that's funny.

If they're a good church, they will be very inclusive and make sure you find people to be with and find things for you to become involved in. So best of luck. Thanks for listening to the podcast, Hannah. All right, this episode's long, but I want to get through these voice-offs because we never get through them. I don't care. Three more. So best of luck. Thanks for listening to the podcast, Hannah. All right. This episode's long, but I want to get through these voice calls because we never get through.

I don't care. Three more. I'm into it. I'm into it. Hey, guys. This is Katie from Crestwell, Oregon. I am now the mom of three teenagers. Our youngest daughter, Kylie, just turned 13, and she's a really big fan of the show.

Hi, Kylie. For her birthday, we decided to give her lots of sweet tarts. They are her favorite candy. We asked family members to chip in and give her boxes as well. And she ended up with 12 total. So that was really fun. But I thought it would be great if you guys could tell her what your favorite candy was when you were 13. And then also maybe throw in a little,

hey, you're 13 years old now challenge. And then the last thing, Jake, you got to open the door for girls. We appreciate it. It's super sweet. It doesn't have to be all the time, but at least when you're on a date, open that car door.

You jerk. Katie, no. You can do it. It's not what I said. i'm not saying i'm you said i'll never open a door for a girl verbatim i said i said they're not that important to me and i don't care about them and i think i mentioned cream juice at some point too i think i did yeah i never said i would never hold the door open for a girl i just said i don't want to do it all the time which which is what she said too.

I think we're on the same page, Katie. But also, okay, forget about that. What is the, your 13 years old challenge? How do we do that one? That sounds like the and one segment. Let's just do the 13 year old challenge. Hey Brad, guess what? What? I was born in 2018.

Oh yeah? I was born in 2008. Nice. Yeah. That makes me 13 years old. That makes you a 13-year-old challenger. Oh, I got challenged. Oh, so do the 13-year-old challenge.

Okay. 5, 6, 7, 8. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10, 11, 12, 13. Oh, you're 13. I'm 13. That's the challenge. How about you? Five, six, seven, eight. You do it now. I don't know where I'm going with this. You started so confident. I know. I was just thinking to myself like i'll get it i'll figure

it out i didn't i mean clearly i didn't know what i was doing but i pushed through but then it came out like i didn't even have words like i am a uh happy birthday kylie kylie it's bummer you only got 12 sweet tarts and not 13 yeah mom but that's pony up for one more you're the 13 years old challenge yes yeah no happy birthday that's awesome yeah favorite candy when i was 13 years old for whatever reason i loved paydays oh i haven't had a payday in i know a couple moon cycles favorite candy now is m&ms original peanut peanut butter yeah i think favorite candy back in middle school had to be sour punch straws really at the concession stand yeah yeah yeah high school football games yeah i was yeah that that that makes sense for you those are good yeah yeah now

i mean still just about anything i'm not not too picky. Milky Way, Snickers. Really? Milky Way. Pretzel M&M's. Crispy M&M's are my favorite. Oh, yeah. Those are good. Make you thirsty, though.

Be careful. Hey, you're 13 years old. Hey, 13. Challenge. Challenge, Katie. I love that. Hey, Jake and Brad. Allie here from Southern Illinois.

I'm a longtime listenertime listener first-time caller i just had a story happen the other day and i thought i would share it with y'all so i was working a shift at my local subway and some parents from the baseball team at sbu came in and i had to stop myself before saying hey i know somebody that went there go bearcats gladly i stopped myself because i was wearing my school mask. And our team is also the Bearcats, so that would have been a little awkward. I also had to stop and realize, wait, I do not know Jake and Brad in real life. For my question for you all, I'm coming on my senior year in college, and I was just wondering if you had any advice going into that experience

or any of your favorite memories from college. Thanks all you do I look forward to listening every Monday bye bye go barricades thanks Allie I have I have a feeling about what she said the first story uh anytime you have any kind of connection with somebody just say it I think it's fun yeah and if you need to pretend that you're friends with us, you can't. Don't feel weird. Say I know these guys. Say it with confidence. You know more about me than some of my friends do, probably. I bet I could quiz Isaac about things that Ghostrunners fans, ghosties know that Isaac does not know.

Right? Yeah. Like, yeah. I tell you guys things all the time. What's the hottest city in the world? Yeah, exactly. Mecca, Saudi Arabia. You know that.

Isaac doesn't know that. That's something about me personally. That's me. But you Google Mecca. Isaac didn't know that. No, no, he was gone. Yeah, exactly. Um, so senior year though, senior year, I, uh, I went to a small school, so I don't know. Well, actually, if anything, this is easier to big school. I issued myself a challenge a couple of weeks into freshman year of college. And I said, I'm going to try to meet someone new every single day of college. And that got a little tougher senior year when I lived off campus. And, you know, you're kind of seeing the same people, same classrooms, but I really tried to. And so I think my advice would be continue to push

yourself socially. It's so easy to make friends and be social freshman year. And even if you're an introvert, I still think you're not going to be upset at the friends you made. You're never going to regret, ah, did I make too many friends? Yeah. Did I expand my, my personal network too far? You know, you're never, those are regrets you're never going to have. So keep pushing yourself socially. That's one tip. That's good. I don't know. I'm trying to think, honestly, everything in my head is thinking like the year past senior year, which is like, I think the year, the first year out of college can be really difficult because you don't always prepare yourself well for like the real world or whatever you want to call it. And like the social aspect of that. And so part of me is like, Hey, think about that a little bit and like, think about how you're going to have good disciplines past

college. But also part of me is like, Hey, really, really, really embrace the time you have in college because it's so different than any other time in your life. Yeah. And it's like so unique in so many ways that you should just absolutely embrace and like cherish every single moment that you have there because it's never going to be the same again. And it's not like I love my life now and I have a fun life and I have friends and everything, but it's just not the same as college. Like it's just, there's a different kind of stress. You're stressed and worried about different things. You're always going to be busy and tired and stressed about something because that's what everyone thinks they are, but it's different in college and it's probably not as extreme and

you're going to have way more fun. So just embrace the time you have, I guess. I remember when I was in college being like, it like dawned on me when I was like, this is crazy. Like I live within a mile of my a hundred closest friends right now. This is so weird. It's amazing. Yeah. No wonder I've never studied. And then all of a sudden it's like, you're gone. Like, and it's over. Yeah. Trey and I were just talking about college a few hours ago because Trey and I both had a lot of fun in college. We look back at college, like, man, that was the best. And that's what I would want to pass on to Allie. Just like make the most of it. It's so fun. Like, but he was saying, it's interesting whenever he hangs out with his wife, Katie and her friends from college they look back at college she went

to georgia tech which is like you know pretty intense yeah like you you can get any job you want in atlanta if you graduated from georgia tech yeah and he was like katie and her college friends they look back at college back oh glad that's over right which is so interesting to me yeah i'm like man they were probably studying yeah harder things than you were a little bit yeah right it's a little tougher interesting what you know i don't know what kind of school ali finds herself in but well i mean probably not georgia tech from the way she and i was getting we're on a subway and i was getting oh yeah that's the same place oh a little lost so anyway there's some stuff, there's some stuff. Yeah. Southern Illinois. Go Salukis.

Yeah, but she said bearcats. Is that what Saluki is? Let's Google what a Saluk is real quick. Half bearcat. Oh, dog breed. Oh. Not good. Well, it's just its ears are too long and too droopy. Like it doesn't, its ears

don't stand up. They fall. It's like they straighten their ears. So droopies. So droopy. Huh.'t its ears don't stand up they fall it's like they straighten their ears so droopies so droopy huh a standardized breed developed from sight hounds dogs that hunt primarily by sight rather than scent i think that's not gonna go well i think you should use your scent use it all okay one last voicemail here we go from margaret uh hey jake and brad this is margaret from atlanta georgia i'm a big fan of the pod i really love how much you guys talk about the office and i especially love how no matter what's going on in life how stressful school can get i can always get a laugh by listening to y'all watch this uh anyways i thought i'd leave a voice memo because i have

a problem and i really think you guys could help solve it. I'm finally graduating from college after five years and I'm trying to decide what I should put on my mortar board when I walk in May. Do you guys have any suggestions or ideas? I'd love to hear them. And if I end up using one, of course I'd tag you guys in my graduation. For some more context, I'm graduating from Georgia tech with a degree in physiology and I'm trying

to save money to get my master's in clinical prosthetics sometime in the next couple of years. So I don't know if there are any jokes or puns in there, but I'd love to hear your ideas. All right, guys. Thanks for all you do and keep on making people laugh. Oh, whatever. She said stressful college in Atlanta. I was like, oh, she's not an Atlanta S&T.

You know, that was awesome. Wow. That worked out well. Yeah. Yeah. Trey and I were literally just talking about that. Yeah. Georgia Tech.

Go Jackets. They don't look back at college as a fond time. Okay. I had to look up what word she even said. I wasn't even sure if I spelled it right. Mortarboard. Sorry. I was fixated.

You know that Georgia Tech is like 80 to 90% male. Really? It's something crazy like that. Good for Katie. Yeah. Also like bad for katie that's really heavy that's like walking through campus and every single guy is just staring at you yeah i'd say if you're a model at georgia tech you probably got your pick of the litter really anything you want yeah i don't know if it's a litter you want to pick from but mortarboard is that the thing on top of the cap i guess so okay that was that was context i

was like that's got to be what she means okay so mortarboard that just sounds so close to motorboat which i don't like what should i want to more it's college come on everybody's motorboarding um okay clinical prosthetics she's not fizz wanting to do clinical prosthetics people really put us on the spot hopefully they don't expect too much okay something about selling selling this this degree cost me an arm and leg that's the only thing i thought of too dang it yes but the arm and leg are like very well drawn to be a prosthetic arm and leg but everyone's gonna be like what in the world why does this woman have a like you know scene from sid's fugitive sid's toy story

backyard the fugitive yeah um i would just i mean let's just keep it original and classy the ghost writers put on your feet on your feet on your feet it's a great thing to put on the mortarboard uh yeah i think so or hey mom either one hey mom hey mom or not bad yes nothing with prosthetics actually just our quotes go shredders not bad on your feet luff them up is another good one love them up um beef jerky for the troops throw that on there why not i think they needed more than ever just out of context quotes yeah did harrison tell you his idea he wanted to make a shirt for us it's called the the jerky jog and it's like a fake mayor it's like a fake race he for the troops using the logo that's on our instagram of the ghost runners guy but like with like

running shoes on and a headband yes he did tell me my initial reaction was like that's that's not the best idea but i was like i didn't want to say no because i was like whatever i mean whatever you think man if they sell they sell you know the jerky jog harrison if you need an idea ask harris ideas guy yeah no shortage yeah message harry and ike about ideas like because harrison will bring them to you so yeah just another reminder harrison and ike are making their own podcast every single week on our Patreon. It's fun. And I'm doing my own podcast.

Mine's short. Mine's like 20 minutes an episode, but on our Patreon right now, five bucks a month gets you bonus episodes. That's a good deal. $15 a month gets you affection from us. Honestly, a lot. You get mentioned in some some episodes every now and then. I had some ideas of something we could do for $50 patrons last night.

Great. That I forgot to text you about. I'll tell you after the show. Okay. Love you guys. $50 patrons and the 10 ones to 10. You're just in the middle. 10's in the sweet spot.

You get the bonus videos. Yeah. And you save a little money and you're able to afford Starbucks. Yes. Once a month. So, um, okay.

Well, cap the voicemail was there, Brad, what is your review of the week? My review of the week comes from wiggity wacko electric eel bear pig. I don't understand why I listened to this. This is great. Like a great review. First, uh, sentence. This is a dumb podcast. And as Jake and Brad are quick to explain, it's just the two of them talking. That's it. No real segment, no show structure, et cetera. Oh, fun fact. I was listening to a British guy getting interviewed the other day on a podcast.

And instead of saying et cetera in the UK, they say ratatat. Ooh, I like that. Oh, ratatat. So it's like this restaurant had food, drinks, ratatat. Yeah. Really? This is a dumb podcast. And as Jake and Brad are quick to it's i'm

going a little bit uh jamaican a black but like european guy he he is kind of with the guy who left this review the guy that was listening to my interview how do you know brad and jake are quick to explain it's just me and the two of them talking that's it no real segments no no dang it no real segments no show structure ratatat it. No real segments. No show structure. That's it. Yet every Monday I find myself, that was so not worth it. Yet every Monday I find myself listening to ridiculous jingles, stories about the weeks of two guys I'll likely never meet and often find myself laughing so hard that I forget to breathe. Get on your feet for one of the best podcasts out there. And while you're at it, check out Ellis Custom Creations. That's elliscustomcreations.com,

elliscustomcreations on Instagram. Wow. I saw an Ellis Custom Creation today and Trey's house looks good. Yeah, I got a new one in there. It looks really good. I'm gonna start furnishing his whole house. That's my goal.

It really does look great. Thank you. I think Trey's super satisfied too. He's like, why doesn't everyone do this? Yeah, it was like, it was like he was literally like giving me his mark, like my marketing pitch.

He's like, yeah, we were trying to figure something out, but we couldn't find something that was just the right size and you know, the, the right color that we wanted. And then I think he literally goes, and then I told Katie, I was like, what are we doing? And then he texted me. Let's just have someone build it custom. Yeah. Creationally. Yeah.

It was a, that was a fun one to build. I need to get some pictures of that. Maybe I'll ask you to do that for me okay so i forgot to take some but yeah cool my review the week is titled i'd recommend it it says this is from uh wessel jefferson much like taylor's acting for jake this podcast has exceeded my expectations i've been working from home since last march and this podcast has turned my stressful work days into once full of inside jokes, office references, and rat-tat-tat. No, it says, and a sense of community that I feel other podcasts fall short of. That's really nice. Thank you, Wessel.

They have really inspired me to create closer relationships and get closer to people around me. Jake and Brad create the feel that they are in the room with you having a conversation and the content is hilarious yet appropriate. Keep up the good work, guys. Five stars is not enough. P.S. Rage Against the Machine is a great amish jams band name yes yeah that is really funny it's a good point rage against the machine it's not even a pun there just that's the name of the band that's it yeah that's great thank you for all the reviews guys i do love like what they

Yeah. And maybe that's heaven. But I'm also thinking just like on earth too. It would be fun to just like,

Thank you. Actually. Okay. Fun fact about the song. This is like the nineties kid in me that is like so ignorant to the song. So I think it's pretty huge song in the eighties. Uh, do you remember the song by fun?

Uh, some nights I think, yeah, this, and there's a, there's a lyric in there that I always thought was so weird when he just goes, this is it boys. This is what? Yeah what yeah of course and that is from this song like the lyrics of this

song say this is it boys this is war at one point and i was always like why did he put that in there that describes the band fun though a little bit of like that was a little weird yeah but i think i liked it i was okay hipster brad and me wants to say that I was a fan of The Format, which was like the lead singer of Fun's band before he was in Fun. Oh, cool. No, that's good. Good for you. High school Brad was listening to The Format.

Do you know what happened to Fun afterwards? It's like when we were in college, they blew up and then they, as far as I know, they never made music again. No, I don't. I never heard of them again. That's too bad. Maybe they were huge though. We made a lot of money.

We're good now. Maybe. I'm going to go work at Office, Max. It would be hard to be a person like that that's going on shows and tours and stuff. I can't imagine. That's not actually really respectable. If you're like, all right, we did one arena tour. I made a lot of money.

And we made a lot of money. Yeah, I'm good now. I don't want to be away from my family. Right. You know. I think about that. Half the year. Yeah.

You think about that? No, I think about that with Ben Rector for some reason. You're like, I don't want to get too big. He's just such a normal guy that I'm like i think about him as like yeah he has a family that he wants to hang out with yeah but he has to go do all this stuff so anyway interesting stuff interesting stuff well this has been episode 99 very long one night i hope you enjoyed it uh thank you for the voicemails and the reviews and of course all of our patrons who support us every single month yes really appreciate you guys.
