however you want. We kind of just came up, Brad kind of came up with it right before we started
recording. Brad, tell them. Yeah. So basically, anytime you want to get out of plans, if your
parents are in the same hometown as you, just say, sorry, my parents are in town. And then hopefully
this other person doesn't know you. You got to make sure that they don't know you super well.

Ghost Rubs Podcast
Every Monday morning we're taking round
Ghost Rubs Podcast
Ghost Rubs Podcast
Welcome back to episode 118, everyone
Or not welcome back to this this or just welcome back to this
podcast this is one of my favorite podcasts yeah is it one of my favorite episodes we'll see time
will tell time will tell also i've been thinking more about what i said in the intro uh my dentist
is not in town my dentist is out of town and i haven't been in like three years he's in the
boot heel yeah he's in the boat heel and i think he listens to the pod because he replied to my
story last night and said uh watching women's golf is the bomb tech of watching men's golf or something like that.
And I was like, oh, Anderson's up to date on the podcast.
Yeah.
Do you think he's listening while he's cleaning teeth?
Is that that's probably not around?
I don't know.
Maybe he's got one air pod in.
Yeah, maybe.
Maybe it's I haven't been in this a while either, to be honest.
Maybe they're starting to give that as an option.
Like it was I remember it was a big deal whenever you went to the dentist and they had a TV. Do you remember that? Like, Whoa, I never had this.
Oh really? Yeah. That's what I'm saying. Like it was a big deal. Like my dentist,
they changed offices and like eventually they had a TV. They used to have a TV just to like,
look at your x-rays. And then it was like, Hey, you can play ESPN on here if you want.
And it was like, you can, it's like, well, we do have to split screen with the x-ray,
but half the screen can be ESPN. Yeah. You can have Sean Salisbury and John Clayton over here and have the x-ray over here.
But like, and then like, maybe it's a big deal.
Like nowadays, maybe he's like, Hey, do you want to listen to a podcast while you're doing
this?
Do you have any favorites that I could put on?
Or do you just want me to choose one?
Or do you want to listen to just the worst sound in the world?
And it's of me grinding your teeth.
Would you prefer that instead?
My sister, I know that she like loves getting
her teeth cleaned like she like thinks it feels so great afterwards i don't know if it's worth it
for me i don't know if i feel that way do you feel that way like i uh the sound can be a little
like i don't know off-putting but for the most part yeah i don't dislike really dentist yeah
i hate that little pick thing they have to do in there the pick thing that that no that sound i
don't like yeah that's the worst that sound is kind of rough like the polish is okay i
can do the polish sometimes i see i see things flying out of my mouth and i'm like i guess that
just saliva i don't know what that is let's hope yeah i don't know what's going on isn't it a fact
about you that you have like extra saliva or something like that oh yeah oh baby oh yeah he's
gonna be wet jake at the dentist office yeah oh that's wet mouth yeah. He's called me wet Jake. Oh yeah. Oh that's wet mouth. Yeah.
Old wet mouth. That's a wet mouth. Yeah. Yeah. There's a drought. Just get Jake to
slobber all over it. Yeah. It's an Al's. I was, I had a margarita the other day and I don't know
what was in this thing or if I just don't drink enough, but this thing was like, it was watering
my mouth. Like it was so. What? What do you mean? I don't know how to describe it. Yeah.
Were you swallowing it? It was like like i would get done drinking the drink and afterwards i mean it
just felt like the hoover damn had busted my god like i was having trouble keeping like saliva in
my mouth after every sip okay and i'm with people i'm like man i gotta like i can't speak and sip
on this oh that's crazy hold on hold on hold on it's kind of coming down my chin there it's called genie
sauce it's pretty it's pretty good we're getting we're getting some traction uh-huh yeah totally
yeah you're like you're like trying to get food like bar food that like would help you like
get thirsty like you're like anybody have any pretzels what's the most like breaded chicken
you have right can we like double bread it can we just like not get the chicken just the bread
extra crumbs like just like anything that's gonna make you guys have like saltines in the back
or anything what's the saltiest thing you have just give me some like can i get some salad but
just not a salad just the trackers on the side please croutons just a bowl of croutons this full croutons please thank you extra extra tons on the crew yeah my mouth was
so wet it was unreal i don't think it's because you're drinking don't drink enough i don't think
i don't think that's the reason why no i'm saying i don't know how to describe it maybe
you know like i don't know the effects well yeah whatever either way just tipsy and you
realize it and so you're saying i doubt it this is crazy the second sip of a margarita i'm like whoa whoa whoa are you guys getting the
wet mouth right now make them like they used to huh like yeah instead of like are you getting
dizzy are you getting you know whatever it's just like are you getting getting saliva getting wet
mouth yeah i'm getting slosh i'm getting wet mouth tonight dude that's what slosh means like
saliva slosh it kind of sounds the same
anyway dentist is fun
I never got a TV in fact like
my years of the dentist in adulthood
it was yeah with like my roommate from college
Anderson and he was still in school
so it was real cheap and
the UMKC basement
school of dentistry did not have
any TVs no I did I went to that one
time they don't
have much at all they have a lot of plastic wrap everything's in plastic wrap that place was kind
of scary i don't or sad maybe just sad was it sad to you it was uh it was like if yeah dentists
worked at a sweatshop they were just so close together if dentists worked at a prison like i
felt like a prisoner around there um the plastic just threw me off so much like there's plastic on their own computers on the monitors on every like device that they're using
uh like even just like the hose connecting like mr slurpee to the thing like that's
all yeah plastic yeah it's all in plastic and it's like well you're still touching the plastics like
the plastic's getting dirty yeah at one point do we this was pre-covid like this was like way before
yeah i can't
imagine what they're doing now. Yeah. Maybe the whole place is bubble wrapped. Yeah. It's a bubble
soccer fest. Yeah, exactly. It was, it was a weird, like, it's like all like cinder blocked,
like all these little places, no reception down there. No reception. Yeah. That's what I'm saying.
It's like a prison down there. And like, they have all these like small, a lot of individual
rooms. You ever go in one of those? Yeah. I got an x-ray in one of those yeah I got an x-ray one of those okay that's where you get the like yeah for whatever
reason Anderson really he he needed me to like go for like his final practicum
or something Oh like maybe I remember in Dallas I remember like somewhat
connecting that or hearing that or something like I'm very interested tell
me like yeah Brad's actually pretty clutch like I need his tooth I was like
I think I have a cavity you could fill and then you end up filling it so I still have that thing like he's like I don't need or whatever. Yeah. I was like, I think I have a cavity you could fill. And then he ended up filling it.
So I still have that thing.
Like he's like, actually, I don't need you after all.
Like he like came and I did like my original consultation
with them and he's like, nevermind.
It's like we had a meth addict come in earlier
and I am overqualified.
Jackpot!
I'm good now. Wow.
Yeah. Thanks, Jesse Pinkman.
Mr. White.
Hey, Mr. Gilberto.
Shout out to Anderson for listening to the pod.
So I never boot heel, by the way.
I thought that people were just saying boot heel with an accent.
You would, it's safe to assume that they're not pronouncing words correctly down there,
but that in that instance, they are.
I'm near the boot heel.
But now that's also the part of Missouri that would say Missouri.
So they don't have it all right. They have an accent and so heel down missouri yeah
yeah that's for for people who don't know that there's an area of missouri that people refer
to as the boot heel because it looks like a boot heel oh that's okay gerardo what else we got down
there sykeston oh of course sykeston uh yeah poplar bluff yeah pb and you know the other ones
i've never heard of Sykeston.
I pretty sure it's in the area. That sounds good. Okay. No one's going to look it up.
You just assume Sykeston. Yeah. It's down there. Anyway, we need to go to our dentist. Apparently
I just got new insurance. So I'm, I'm ready to go. I know. I was thinking about that in the
shower last night. Yeah. Cause I, I don't want to share this actually. I was like,
you know why I thought of it? Uh, those are always the best, man. I don't want to share this, actually. I was like, you know why I thought of it?
Those are always the best, man.
I don't even care if you explain them or not.
Like those kind of things just crack me up every time.
Yeah, it's a little too weird.
Because we share so many personal things.
So if you don't share it, then that means it's like really weird.
This is pretty strange.
Yeah, no, I don't think I want to share that.
That's funny.
Anyway, yeah.
The Health of Charts. How was
your week? Moving on. My week's been good, man. Nothing too crazy has happened except for last
night. Yeah, I want to hear all about it. Let's first talk about the basketball game. I think we
always do our basketball game recaps. Oh, do we do those first? I don't know. We don't have to.
You want to do the very end? don't care um i was i always
just think chronologically and usually basketball games one of the first things we do in the week
oh okay um okay we'll go back to the basketball game uh so last night was stand-up comedy night
baby yeah and but not just any stand-up comedy no it was a competition yeah is that what you're
referring to yeah and it wasn't the same spot and they only just once a month yes so like i found
this group on facebook that has like a list of all the different places
you can go. And one of them said this Harley's hideaway and turns out it's like literally the
closest business to my house. I think like the closest running business is so close, which I
guess that kind of gives away where I live, but that's fine. Don't, don't stalk me. Um, and so I,
but, but there's a few different things on that list that I had found where
the P I would call them and they'd be like, Oh yeah, we're not doing standup anymore.
And so I'm like, dang.
So I didn't have too high a host for this place.
Uh, I called them and they're like, yeah, uh, seven o'clock.
So get there at six 30 and bring $3 cause it's a competition.
And I was like, Oh yeah, it is.
And I was like, how many people are usually there every night?
And they're like oh
usually around 20 to 40 people in the audience and i'm like that's great that's kind of what i
expected at the other place rhino um not too many people and it's a small place i've been there one
other time back when it was a mexican restaurant and this place is not very big um so i get there
and there's not really many people there at 630, but they're like, oh, Ace is running late.
First of all, I love, I loved every sentence of that.
Yeah.
Ace, Ace is running late.
Who's Ace?
Ace is running late.
Sounds like he needs to be introduced to Deuce.
Who's Ace?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Oh, we'll get there.
So Ace was running late.
No problem.
I had to charge my phone a little more.
And so I was kind of like this weird guy.
I was like, no problem.
I got to go back up to my truck anyway. So I sit in my truck for like 15 minutes and charge my phone a little more. And so I was kind of like this weird guy. I was like, no problem. I got to go back up to my truck anyway.
So I sit in my truck for like 15 minutes and charge my phone,
get back down there.
And by the time I'm back down there,
it's starting to get a little bumping.
And,
uh,
ACE comes in ACE 400 pound black dude.
Just,
just awesome dude.
Okay.
Uh,
really liked him a lot.
I'm imagining that one of the warehouse workers from the office where she's
like,
you look like a sea monster,
but you'd like to swim with this sea monster yeah yeah yeah ryan do something kind of like that
do you remember reuben stuttered he was of course he was i would say he's more on reuben stuttered's
plane okay he could sing really well yes and much bigger than sea monster okay just just like ace
ace shops at walmart and walmart only for his clothes okay you know what i mean like he's he's
got to be pretty big does he have to buy two airplane seats he he actually commented last night he's like i don't i don't fly in planes
you kidding me you think i can fly on a plane i don't know but yeah he would definitely like he
cheek and cheek yeah it's expensive um yeah so that's okay and um i was gonna make a joke and
i'm not gonna make it so anyway got down there three dollars put it in get going and i love the idea
of it being a competition for a few different reasons well and also there was packed like
super super packed like and it was so fun because of that there were people there
there's such a warm crowd um there were people there that were specifically there for one like
person that was performing but even those people were like very into it very energetic kind of
like those girls that were there uh when we went to the Rhino that one time. So, um, shout out girls,
shout out girls. So there were people there who weren't performing. That's great news. That's
very good news. Yeah. We've learned that. And I even talked to the guy next to me. He's like,
yeah, it's really hard when you're only performing for comedians. And I was like, absolutely.
Cause I'm up there like kind of chuckling every once in a while out of pity. But most of the time
I'm thinking to myself, that's not that funny. I could do better than that. So, um, I, I counted at one point there was over a hundred
people. I like, and like, and it's a, not, it's a, it's a tight space. Like it's not much bigger
in this basement. Like it's a small space. So if you make them laugh, that's going to be really
loud. That's awesome. It was awesome. It was, it was really exciting. And so you write your name
down and ACE literally just, um, did him like just called people up randomly so he's just looking at
this list and so every single time ace goes up there you don't know if he's about to say your
name i would not like that that's didn't love it nerve-wracking didn't love it at all yeah
i want to know where i'm at the batting order exactly my bad cleanup all right i need to get
up there like a cleanup hitter and ace would kind of walk around the room every once in a while and
like he'd see somebody he knows and you kind of give him like the like the head nod like got you
next got you next and so i knew like i wasn't on ace's level so i wasn see somebody, you know, isn't he kind of give him like the, like the head nod, like got you next, got you next. And so I knew like I wasn't on ACEs level, so I wasn't going
to go, you know, first five. But after that, it was like every single time. And he would always
like, um, make up these stories for these people. Like, I liked that a lot. It was pretty funny.
It was, they're usually pretty inappropriate. He's like, this is the guy I buy my meth from,
you know, whatever we've, we've gone toreece france italy together give it up boot
heel yeah the boot heel um so anyway but but because it was a competition a everyone stuck
around the whole time which was great that's great because you know near the end not very
many people then you're just performing for brad and isaac right b uh not very many people were
bad there were still some duds for sure. Did you recognize the people?
Yes.
Yes, I did.
Yes, I did.
Okay.
Actually, yeah, I did.
Aaron Scarborough is one of the guys.
Oh, yeah.
That's the guy who just steals jokes from Twitter.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
Did I not tell you about this?
No.
Yeah.
His entire set was just like viral tweets.
No.
It was so frustrating because he actually opened for Tim Dillon when I saw him and he was doing
the same jokes then. They were also viral tweets. I wanted to scream out like,
dude, we all saw that on Twitter three months ago. Dude, no way. Yeah, it's so frustrating.
OK, well, spoiler alert to the end of the story. He wins. That's so annoying. And guess who he
beats? Big Daddy. What do you mean? Like you got the silver? Yeah. Wait, whoa, whoa, what? So let
me. Yes. I know. I know. I know. Spoiler alert towards the end.
So you won in a straight up.
I guess so.
You were public school.
You lost to the private school, but you won.
Yeah, pretty much.
Like they get scholarships.
You didn't recruit.
Yeah, I wasn't recruited.
I was just going from like my little zip code.
Wait, they give out second and third and you came in second?
They didn't.
Okay.
Let me, yeah, I was getting a little past my skates there.
So, so I go up and perform.
Like, I think there were 32 people there.
That's forming. Yes. Okay. And I think I was either third or fourth from the last. I was
very near the end and it's because headlining there's another comedian in Kansas city named
Brad Ellis. You remember how they said that the Rhino? And so they're like, yeah, we're going to
cross your name off the list because we didn't see Brad here. And so I might start legitimately
writing. My name is Brad Deuce. I'm serious.
I'm serious.
Here comes the stage name.
Yeah.
I might just say,
start saying Brad Deuce.
Cause I'm like,
I don't want to get confused for this guy.
I don't want this guy to think that like,
I am anywhere near Brad Ellis.
And so Ace was really cool.
Cause like,
then he started calling me the one and only Brad Ellis,
like as a joke kind of thing.
But,
but I had to like point to my name.
He's like,
you're Brad Ellis. There's another Brad. And I was like like i know i've heard this before so i go up there and i
don't think i killed by any means but i think people enjoyed what i did i did the chief's joke
you know the oh yeah yeah uh which we kind of did on the podcast where you talked about the
your friend that likes to sing i went to a chief's game with a guy who was like a musical theater
person he was singing like aladdin show tunes on the way to a chief's game right and i just got into that like i went
into for like a minute like i basically did the whole like beginning rendition of all i do is win
and people clapped at the end of it it was like they clapped in between like in my set
you got an applause break yeah open mic night yes and i was like all right that was the uh
yeah white guy singing black guy songs uh part of the set you know white people love you roast white people. Trey does that a lot and it goes really well.
And I also kind of leaned in, there was probably seven or eight black people there. I leaned into
that a little bit too, not in a tasteful way, but I, I also did the joke about like the don't go
yet. Don't go yet. Oh, like that part of the, you can go. Yeah. And I was like, and it's an area
that I'm not usually in. Honestly, it's probably an area that ace lives in ace loved it wait so hold on why why did you sing all i do is
win because i was talking about i was i was basically like singing songs that would be at
a chief's oh like crazy train or something yes but i was singing them in a very choir-esque way
can we hear a quick sample? This sounds pretty funny.
Yeah, it was like,
all I do is win, win, win,
no matter what.
Got money on my mind.
I can never get enough.
That's good.
You know, like as a choir person,
like can you imagine it's like a thespian just like,
and I step up in the building,
everybody's hands go up.
And so I was really hamming it
and people like, yeah,
we're starting to sing along.
So I did jock jams
at the beginning, by the way. Let's go, baby. Oh yeah. It was great. It gets the crowd going.
Like it works every time they're clapping. Yes. Like people were into it. I got to figure out
how to end it a little bit better because I kind of just ended it abruptly and that was kind of
awkward. But, um, anyway, yeah, so it went well, but I, I, even as I performed and afterwards and
before, like, I was like, these, there's a lot of funny people here. I'm not making it.
Yeah.
Cause what happens is what,
and I didn't know this beforehand.
It's a competition,
but the top three people,
there's like secret crowd judges,
judge people.
And the top three people that these judges choose get to go on and do another
five minute set.
Oh,
guess who didn't prepare another five minutes.
And so like,
I, like I learned this like halfway through the show and I was like, well, I'm not going to probably make it.
There's some really funny people. They seem like they're pretty polished. I'm not going to make it
on here. Uh, at the, like, and then they're like, we're going to take a five minute intermission,
feel, figure out who's doing what. And ACE is kind of walking around and he just pointed to me
like, like the five minute intermission. And I'm like, what does that mean?
What's up?
And it could have been like a, what's up, man?
You did a good job.
Proud of you.
Brad Ellis, one and only.
Or it was like, you're in.
I was like, I don't know.
And then he came back later.
He was like, Hey, gather up, gather up.
And it was like me and these two other guys.
He's like, he pointed to me.
He's like, you're first, you're second, you're third.
So I had to go first on my five set, five minute set.
I did not know what I was going to do.
I still went up there. Oh yeah. I mean, I, as the five minutes, five minutes set. I did not know what I was going to do. I had one up there.
Oh yeah.
I mean, I, as the five minutes that was going on, he pointed to me.
I was like, I got to figure out something to say.
That's terrifying, dude.
It was a little bit.
Um, and so I just had my phone and I just like looked at a bunch of different things
and tried to spout some off, but it didn't go super well.
I mean, that's a hard position to be in.
And it was honestly, it was kind of hard, but it was also a little bit freeing of like,
I'm already in the top three, baby.
Yeah.
Right.
People.
I know people like me here.
It's a warm crowd.
Let's go for it.
Uh, one of the three guys like bombed, like literally, I don't know if he even really
made a joke.
Oh, he was worse than you were once you got to this.
So you're like, I honestly, my, my set wasn't terrible.
I don't think I went for even a full five minutes.
I bet I went like four minutes.
Okay. And which is not terrible, but, um, the other guy just like, literally you could tell he was like, I don't know what to talk about. So he just talked about very inappropriate things
the whole time and didn't really make jokes. And I was like, good job. And then, yeah, Aaron like
went up there and did really well. And so I was like, okay, I got second place here to a comedian.
Like basically, I mean, he's not a
professional comedian. Apparently he steals a lot of stuff, but he opens for Tim Dillon or whatever.
I was like, that's pretty good for my second time doing standup. So I was pretty encouraged by that.
No, absolutely. I'm proud of you. That's amazing.
And it was, it was like, like there was a guy that I met, um, right. Like beforehand,
it was sitting next to me. He's an older guy. And afterwards he's like,
you said that was your first time doing standup. And I was like, no, no, it's my second time.
He's like, dude, he's like, you're a natural. And I was like, that's awesome. Thank you.
And a couple other people, a couple other people came up to me like, dude, you were so funny. You
were so funny. And I was like, thank you. That's awesome. So, um, but yeah, there was, there was
still some really rough acts out there. There was one girl who brought like a you know like you can go
to uh the grocery store and you can either get like a carton of ice cream or you can get like
the huge tub of ice cream yeah yeah she brought a huge tub of ice cream and for whatever reason
like took it out of the tub and put it in this like metal bowl okay and then just went up there
probably 20 minutes after she had like put it in the bowl so it was like melting and stuff
and just tried to eat the ice cream while she did her
set.
And it was just like the ice cream was just going everywhere.
I don't get it.
I don't get it either.
Were her jokes about ice cream?
Nothing about it was about ice cream.
It's just like a visual.
She was just weird, dude.
There's there's so many weird people in stand up comedy.
Like I can't explain unless you've unless you've seen it like Jake and I have.
It's really hard to like understand exactly how much I dislike one side of-up comedy and how much I like one side of stand-up comedy.
Yeah, it's sad and it's hard to watch.
It's so dark and inappropriate.
I was telling Catherine, I was like, I'm never going to let you come to one of these things.
You would not enjoy it.
You would feel disgusted.
I feel disgusted just as a human being listening to this stuff but at the same time
it's like this is the only way i know how to get better at this yeah and good for you for keep
trying oh yeah i'm glad you called i'm glad you went right that's awesome but yeah it was probably
10 times better than the rhino which and it still wasn't that fun which shows how bad the rhino is
but anyway yeah i think stand-up comedy gets the rap or like amateur stand-up comedy
gets the reputation of like oh this guy he's the funniest guy in his friend group so he thinks he
can do stand-up comedy but the people we see it's like i don't even know if your friend group would
consider you funny you're just like no no you're just looking for a hobby because like you lost
your disc golf sure disc or you know you just need something else now right you know very many people
are like the art museum's closed i'll just stand comedy. I bet the guy that works with that guy does not say like,
oh, the funny guy. I bet they're like, oh, the guy with ADHD, maybe, you know, like, like,
like, I don't think that you're classifying that guy as the funny guy right away. The guy we've
given two warnings for about sexual harassment. He does stand up comedy. That makes sense that,
yeah, that's right up his alley, actually. Oh, it was like, I also need to quit touching alley um she's followed multiple reports um that's gotta stop that was that was probably
maybe the most encouraging part of it though was like that i made the top three while still being
clean and like basically not like performing for my target audience at all yeah dude that's amazing
like that was like that was the thing that encouraged me more than anything because like
like i was like i know that i don't have like i was looking at my jokes that i had written down like brainstorm wise for like
my second set and i was like none of these are going to resonate with these people because it's
not crude or crass yeah or super like pop culture relevant or anything but i was like i guarantee
you these are funny jokes to the right people and so anyway it was like i didn't expect myself to
win but it was still it was still really fun. So I was encouraged by it.
Dang. You got second to the guy who just regurgitates viral tweets. Yeah. That's pretty awesome, dude. Yeah. And they said that that was the most people they'd ever had at the open mic.
I don't know why so many people were there last night. It's only going to get bigger, baby.
Cause we're inviting everybody next month, next month. No, seriously. Somebody commented on our
Patreon. Like we should all go watch, uh, Brad do this sometime and like cheer for him. And I was
like, that'd be awesome because it would be so fun to like actually get a gauge
for what people that I want to like have my stuff be laughed at would actually think of it. So,
so this happens once a month, once a month, every first Wednesday. Yeah. Maybe we'll keep
people posted for September. Right. It was really fun though. The competition aspect of it made it
a lot more like a lot more intense, a lot more like in your head,
like, okay, who's gonna,
how are people responding to this guy?
You know?
Yeah, I love the idea of it making people stay to the end.
That's awesome.
Yeah.
I also want to get better at crowd work.
Like that's the thing like that I would really enjoy.
That's what I'm saying.
It's so awesome.
Like there was a guy near the front row.
He like walked in with like this little walker.
He was like this very like old man,
pretty ugly looking dude, like bald white hair beard.
And I was like, shout out to off season Santa for coming out tonight. You know, I did a few more
like that. I was like duck dynasty over here. Thanks for coming out. You know, but I was like,
if I just did that, or if I just impersonated other people, I think that could be a pretty
entertaining thing for the second time around, you know, whatever. So anyway, it was fun time.
So dang, that's awesome. Yeah. Yeah, it was, it was, it was really good. And yeah, it was one of those things where I came
home and told Catherine like, yeah, I'm encouraged by this. So that's sweet. Yeah. Um, I could not
go to stand up comedy last night because I was receiving my first ever golf lesson. Yeah, baby,
which is, tell me more. It's interesting to get like a lesson as an adult. Yes. That's what we
were talking about. Like, yeah. Is that the only thing that you can like really acceptably get a lesson for?
Like if I was getting piano lessons, like that's kind of strange.
You're not.
Guitar lessons.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That would be weird.
Yeah.
But golf.
Swimming lessons.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I wonder if there's just like implied age restrictions or if it says on like a swimming
lessons website like 16 and under please or else yeah we're gonna have to get a different instructor
that's a funny prank like idea just call some people like lose your fantasy football you have
to go take a swim lesson with four-year-olds like yeah or are you here with little johnny
no i am little johnny i am little johnny Yeah. You look like a Will Ferrell and elf. It's just like at the desk, way bigger than everyone. But
I was doing that. I love the text updates I was getting. You were like, I asked the guy
next to me to be married at standup comedy. And he says, the only thing he performs is drag.
Shout out Tony. He was pretty good. He was pretty good. Yeah. He said, yeah,
I usually perform a standup and, uh, in drag at gay bars at gay bars i was like oh it's still stand up
yeah oh i thought it was just like the only time i've ever performed at all has just been like a
drag show just like walking the runway no he was like pretty polished he had he was pretty good
and he's usually like he's like this is kind of weird for me not being dressed up as a girl huh
he was actually like uh i was sitting at a two-person table by myself so i was like you
can sit here if you'd like so we kind kind of became friends. He recorded my set.
I recorded his.
So yeah, pepperoni Tony.
You and Tony.
Yeah, it was a good time.
So, but yeah.
Okay.
Tell me what's the, what's the director, not director, instructor like for this lesson?
He is a, he's like a good old boy.
It's how I describe him.
I would not have expected that for a golf instructor.
And not a very like, like not overly polite or social kind of like, yeah, just like a
good old boy.
Like rough.
Yeah.
Like I walk up and he doesn't like address that I'm standing by him.
Like he's still on his phone.
I'm just kind of waiting.
I'm like, oh, wow.
Hey, it's a little impolite.
Yeah.
Just like a not very like polite person.
Good old boy.
And that's a nice way to like describe somebody like that's not nice.
It's just he's a good old boy yeah that
was kind of what i was doing just like that wouldn't do a lot of the things i would do
socially probably he's not hitting those not a people pleaser in the sense that he's not very
nice yeah but he knows his golf and you know within 45 seconds he had like told me something
i was like oh that yeah oh i never thought of that never heard of that this is why i wanted
this because i didn't grow up playing this sport.
So it was, it was definitely helpful, but I will say about one in every three sentences
he said to me was just like very, like, it's kind of hard to describe it exactly, but it
would be in some sentence.
Like I get done with a swing and just go belly button in front of the ball.
And I, it's so multiple times I would ask, you just like is that what i'm doing or is that what
i'm supposed to be doing like you would just speak in these sentence fragments yeah i'm like give me
like a full sentence or give me some context or just yeah he's assuming that you're more into
golf or like have done it longer than you really have well and i told him right off the bat he's
like what are we working on today and i was like whatever you can give me i just started this i
don't know what i'm doing i you know whatever i tried to give him context where i'm at like i know next to zero fundamentals have no you know whatever right so
yeah he would just say these things have just like move around the spine which then you know
he was big on like your spine and your hip which is like hard for me to imagine what's happening so
there are certain times like why don't you just tell me like exactly what to do none of this like
metaphysical like sure the ball is on an axis around your left hip.
So it's going to be rotating,
which I can somewhat appreciate a science aspect to it,
but it's like,
just tell me exactly what to do.
Don't tell me like in theory,
the hip is a fulcrum.
And you know,
it's like,
I just,
just tell me,
just imagine you're at a construction site.
You're about a Ferris wheel.
Yeah.
Okay.
So you've gone.
Yeah.
You know,
simple machines,
pulley and lever. You're like just show me yeah without you know happy to go more you know like it's all
on the hips like don't get right behind me but but get pretty close yeah and tell me what to do
uh i would probably prefer if they like if he was showing you as like before either showing you what
you're doing or what you need to be doing differently we didn't do that either that would be nice visual learner this would help
that's that's me for sure yeah and every now and then he asked you like i would i would hit a pretty
good ball but it might go like a little right like now why'd you miss right there i'm like yes dude
i don't know i just started you're like hey if i knew i wouldn't be coming to a lesson yeah i joked
i said that like the second time i kind of like giggle, you know, whatever.
And then like, he didn't really like, you know, like, but, but seriously though, like
if I knew I wouldn't, this is what I'm coming here for.
So I can learn from my mistakes and just, you tell me, I pay you.
You tell me why was this?
It was an hour.
Okay.
No, I didn't know we'd gotten to an hour because John just walks away.
I'm not kidding.
No way.
I will say he fist bumped me, but it wasn't like, Hey, good job, man.
This is a great session.
Like I hit it.
I just thought I hit a good shot.
And he's like, he said, great work.
He fist bumps me.
I'm like, Oh, thanks man.
So like I line up and I hit another, I look up John's nowhere to be found.
He's gone.
But I didn't have my phone or watch on dinner time for John.
Yeah.
So I'm just like, I guess he had to run to the restroom.
Like, do I just keep hitting these balls without him?
Like I want him to like yeah instruct me and so i hit like i very slowly hit like five or six more
balls okay and finally he came back and but he came back with uh like someone else so i was like
his next session oh maybe we're to like an hour okay john you gotta speak dude you gotta say stuff
you gotta learn how to greet people, how to say goodbye to them.
You can't just leave conversations.
He gave me the roommate Greg goodbye.
Yeah, he did.
I got to pick up Thai food.
And the roommate Greg hello.
Yeah.
My bad.
Oh, my bad.
Oh, good old Greg.
So otherwise, it really was good and it helped.
So what did you focus on?
Were you doing driving or were you doing whatever else?
It was kind of just like the motion of a swing in general.
It was like, regardless of what club you have, this is what your swing should look like.
And I was like, oh, OK, I got to get the belly button way more involved, Brad.
I wasn't even thinking about my belly button.
I've never thought about my B button when I'm swinging the golf club.
No, occasionally while I'm driving.
But that's it.
Do you feel like it was worth it?
It actually was.
One lesson in.
It was one hundred and twenty five bucks for an hour.
Wow. And I still think it was worth it? It actually was. One lesson in? It was $125 for an hour. Wow.
And I still think it was worth it.
Really?
Yeah.
Okay.
Just because I think with going on the road, on tour, like we're going to be playing a
lot of golf and this is going to make it way less frustrating.
Is this your only one that you're doing or are you going to go to do more sports?
You know, I'm glad.
I almost paid for like a five pack because it was like a little cheaper.
It was just like $500 for five lessons.
I was like, you know what?
Maybe just bite the bullet, do that.
But like John gave me quite a bit, you know, to chew on here.
So let's see how long this lasts me.
Right.
Yeah.
So it was good.
That's that's been golf.
I can't imagine.
I can't imagine doing more than three lessons with this guy.
Like eventually you're going to be like, I don't know what else to do.
And that's the thing, because it was like the same thing with a haircut this week, too,
where it's like the service I got was good, but the entire interaction was not good.
So like, do I go back kind of thing?
What about the haircut? Tell me more. I went to Hudson Hawk. Yeah entire interaction was not good. So like, do I go back kind of thing? What about the haircut?
I went to Hudson Hawk. You ever been there?
No. I was there
when it was a different name. So different
ownership probably. Probably instead of Tim Hudson, like
a Mark Mulder. Yeah. Barry Zito Hawk.
Yeah.
That's great. Billy Bean Hawk.
Some people out there are going to love that.
Yeah. Baseball fans out there
in the late or early
2000s are gonna love that uh i always wanted to have a curveball like barry zito oh my gosh
big old yeah i love playing with him on like mvp baseball yeah the a's were the best team dude
yeah giambi dude germaine dot i love oh dude terrence terrence long i think yeah yeah yeah
quick little guy yes very. Very quick. Yeah.
David Justice.
Oh, good times.
Good times.
Stacked lineup.
Yes.
Eric Chavez when they got him a little later.
He was such a stud.
He was so good.
Yeah.
How would I forget about Chavez?
Chavez.
Yeah.
Once the Cardinals started to lose Scott Rowan, I really wanted us to make a move on Eric Chavez.
Oh, yeah.
Never did.
Got Matt Holliday instead.
Pretty good.
Different guy on the left side of the field.
Yeah.
What am I talking about?
Jason is Ringhausen.
He was good.
I saw TikTok last night.
Oh, it was from what's his name?
Joey Molinaro.
The guy who does the impressions really well.
And it was like, you know, it's like one of those TikToks where the first few seconds
is like someone else's TikTok and then you kind of react to it or whatever.
Is that called duetting?
No, nothing.
What is it? Yeah, it's something. Du's something else when you're like doing them side by side
yeah we're so old i know i don't know whatever the reaction tiktok it's them and then it's you
and it was like this gay guy like laying in bed being like what do straight guys like talk about
like seriously what do you guys like even talk about and then so then it goes to joey milanaro
and he was just like tj hushman zada and then the other guy's like yes
oregon state he's like ah good good he's like all right all right danny amandola and then like so
they just go back and forth it's like that is such a guy thing like we can just go back and just
just you know ray lankford yeah yeah yeah dude ray lankford um ed gantt was his name who gantt
what was his first name ron gant name Ron Gant he was a masher
for the Cardinals
back in the day
he used to smack
Jeff King

Jeff King
Jeff King

Jeff King Royals
Jeff King oh yeah oh
yeah big old must say yeah just like i remembered jeffrey wayne king uh back in the day my dad used
to be all-time quarterback in the backyard with scott and i nice and every single time we would
be a different wide receiver and my dad would know the uh college that the wide receiver went to
and the city where that college is in wow Wow. And so we'd be like,
oh,
you know,
I want to be Randy Moss.
And he'd be like,
Randy Moss,
Marshall university.

The haircut itself was good.
Couldn't complain at all about that.
Yeah, it looked good.
But thank you.
But it was just like, I went into it.
So you guys heard last podcast episode.
I've had kind of a sore throat or not even sore throat.
I've said no voice.
I feel 100% but I just can't talk.
So I go to the haircut thing and like, man, I hope she's like, doesn't ask me a bunch
of questions.
Like, I don't want to talk that much boy did I get what I asked for because
she did a lot of talking oh okay I thought you were gonna say she didn't talk at all no it's like
I got exactly what I wanted uh I didn't talk but it's I had to listen to her okay and I mean right
off the bat it was just too way too self-deprecating for a stranger so for instance she's like all right so i don't think
i've seen you in here before like what kind of haircut are we getting and i was like you know
shorter i was like the main thing i'm in for is like the back of my neck is disgusting so make
sure you you know okay clean that up otherwise just make me look attractive you know i trust you
you know just make me look good yeah and she goes i Uh, I, my mom was asking me when I'm
going to get married recently. And I told her mom, it's your fault. You made me so ugly and
unattractive. I was like, Oh, and then I don't really say much. Cause this is awkward. Cause,
cause if you say too much, then you're hitting on the girl. If you don't say enough, then it's
like, yeah. Oh, I see what you're saying. Yo, I get i get it yeah i see why you told her that
yeah that's really weird so i kind of just don't say much it's kind of a
you know that noise and then she was like no i mean seriously i'm like look at me i'm like i'm
like a gorilla i'm like mom this is your fault you know what you're the one who birthed the gorilla
i'm like oh did she did she fill you with butter too? Or was that you? Oh, like she's gained weight.
Yeah.
Oh, okay.
I was like butter gorilla, butter gorilla.
I just think it's funny.
Like, like I do that sometimes.
I'm like, yeah, it's just my genetics.
Like we're just big people.
It's like, well, I also ate like five cookies last night.
So, so it was just a lot of, yeah, that just for 20 minutes.
I'm just like, I don't know what to say
this that's i well i hope you're joking i hope you don't think about this um what kind of cool
i've had a lot of quinkities recently this one isn't that big very tiny compared to other ones
okay but i'm telling her kind of where i'm from yeah southwest missouri what high school
strafford when'd you graduate 2010 oh nice i was at your high school graduation no what's up yeah she's
like yeah so matter of fact you like that yeah she's like yeah you remember uh rainy i was like
you don't forget a name like rainy of course so oh there's another little quinketing rainy langford
rainy lewis yeah linebacker uh no but i played when i lived in springfield in like second grade
i played on this co-ed basketball team i still remember uh yeah if you if you like scored five
points our coach would get us to think of pokemon cards that was fun the whole team or
just individually individually okay yeah something like that anyway promotes passing and teamwork
yeah it was great i don't think he's in the biz anymore but i remember playing you know on this
co-ed team there's a girl named rainy and you know you don't forget a name like that yeah and
then like my junior year of high school some girl moves in her name's rainy i'm like oh you're
probably the same one i bet you're the same but you're the same one 417 area so already a little coinkadunk there
but anyway so it's rainy's nephew or i mean cousin or what who's no they're just friends
from something i don't even know i didn't i don't maybe she said i don't remember but yeah she was
at my high school graduation so i was like oh that's kind of cool we've been in the same room
before what a coinkydink yeah little dink. What a dink.
Little dinky.
So anyway, both with the haircut and the golf instruction, I liked what I got.
But could I get the same thing somewhere else and have a more pleasant experience?
Probably.
I don't know.
It may take some time, though.
Yeah, what do you value more?
I think I value the product more than the experience sometimes.
On something like that.
Like, not on everything.
Maybe what I do. Yeah hudson hawk maybe
i go back in and just once again i click first available if i if i get my girl i get my girl
but if not i'm like oh sorry i forgot your name oh you know like oh i didn't i would have chose
you yeah i didn't could have put rainy's friend i don't know the drop down menu on the website
didn't have rainy's friend so I didn't know
yeah my mom
always said
I had a forgettable face
forgettable name too
I guess
okay
yeah
okay
that's okay
okay
perfect
so yeah
haircut
golf lesson
what else
been going on
I
I went to that wedding
right after last week's podcast
that was a
whirlwind
I got to see Weston
Weeby there which was fun and uh by the time the wedding rolled around yeah he's such a like a bro
like such a chill dude oh yeah he's so just like mild-mannered and so calm but you know he's so in
control what's up B-Rad yeah he still calls you B-Rad what's up B-Rad it's like dude how are things
with you and B-Rad man I'm like dude I love that you still call him B-Rad it was just me him and
Jonah Hope talking the, him and Jonah Hope
talking the whole time.
And Jonah's like,
well, I don't know Jonah that well,
but he's like more high energy, right?
He's not like Weston.
Yeah, he's probably closer to me.
Yeah, like he loves talking like this.
And he kind of looks like Will Ferrell,
which is fun.
He looks a lot like Will Ferrell.
But anyway, first of all,
my voice got so bad.
I think from recording that podcast
and you go to a wedding
and just like you have to talk
over this like loud hum.
Right.
And so my voice is getting really bad
Like I can't really speak very much and dude it is so just crippling not being able to talk
Let me go to communicate. I hated it. I'm gonna be there
Yeah, this is like everyone wants to come up and talk and chat which is such a great thing
And I want to talk to them too, right? But you know, I just like
And I can't even clear my throat my throat clear to sound girly
you know i can't do anything but i tried to catch up with people as much as i could and it's too bad
that you didn't have the uh hudson hawk like you didn't have your voice like that at hudson hawk
and then she would have switched them around yeah she'd be like oh i'm not gonna talk to this guy
he sounds awful yeah exactly um but weston was funny he's like dude i meant to tell you this
story the other day uh this guy he guy, he works at CFO.
Western's randomly like one.
There's only like five deans of CFO and Western's one of them.
The rest of the guys are like 65 years old.
He's like, all right.
Right.
Yeah.
He's like 32.
Maybe I'm a dude.
Yeah.
He like Dean would be rad.
Was playing college basketball.
Not that long ago.
And I was a Dean of the college.
That's awesome.
It's amazing.
He's the man.
But, uh, he said I had a cevo student come up to me
uh recently was like dude you know jake triplet and he's like yeah you know what's up yeah no jake
and uh he's like dude you are on uh you're on his podcast and weston's like oh that's cool like
what did he say he's like oh he like he said some things about you just like how you met you at camp
and had some good times and how you're able to milk yourself out of your nipple i don't remember that really i remember saying it i'm like
ah my bad man and you went first and last name on it probably yeah because it's never just west
it's always west and we be and so i was like dude i'm sorry dean weeby dean i heard you have a trick to show us yeah run a little low if you know what i mean
yeah come on dean weeby can i get an a for areola show us your milk show us your milk right now i
have d like vitamin d yeah oh man so i felt kind of bad i was like dude you have so many good
qualities i'm sorry the only thing i talked about was that one time i saw you milk yourself
on the dock make up for it what are we what are we gonna say nice about old weston give
me a memory with weston anything like what's one that you can think of first thing comes to mind
first thing comes to mind is uh we would sleep together all the time
i heard you like to sleep with your friends. Casually.
No, no, no.
At a Christian camp.
Outdoors, though.
Outdoors.
So it's cool.
So no one else can hear.
No, we just like, as soon as we became friends one summer, we just started like, we just hit it off really well.
And so we would, Weston had to sleep on the dock because that was his job.
He was like in charge of all the boats and everything.
And I would just go down to the dock and bring a sleeping bag and sleep with him.
Really?
It was so fun. And sometimes other people would join. Sleep on the boat? Or where were and i would just go down to the dock and bring a sleeping bag and sleep with them and really uh it was so fun and sometimes other people join or
where were you no just on like on the dock like a hardwood dock yeah really yeah it was awesome
no wonder you could sleep anywhere yeah actually we might have brought a mattress down now that i
think about it yeah but still nothing great but okay he was also the first person who got me to
freestyle oh really like as we're like laying in bed right there he would play like a pandora
rap instrumental radio station interesting and he would be like he would like do a little
bit he's like all right now you go i'm like i've never done this before but he like got me to do
it and oh i feel like i would have thought you had been doing that your whole life no he was
like the person who like got me to like start rapping at canica doing the breakfast raps and
he was one that did the breakfast rap with you at least once right yeah he was my pancake buddy
yeah because he's a rap he wrap. He can throw it down.
Which, yeah, which now that all this is happening, it's like, what kind of buddies were you?
You saw him milk himself, you slept together, and he was your pancake buddy?
Okay.
We call each other the Flapjacks.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But no, a ton of good memories with Weston.

probably Trey Kennedy
dang it
I was gonna say

I was hoping
you were gonna say
but you said
Trey Kennedy
that's my feeling
dude
thank you dude
that's awesome that's awesome that i'm your
that's you're my favorite and i'm not your favorite if i could be honest let's let's talk
about something real quick we got to get something out there i feel like i need to i'm i'm compensating
i'm over correcting i'm getting i'm just gonna say it i'm getting so tired of the trey who
yeah comments it was like one joke that you made on a podcast episode in probably march
yeah and people still saying it and like on trey and i's videos there's like trey who i'm like this
is not nice i get that you want to be a part of this joke but has he ever said anything to you
he never has yeah and i will say trey's never said a word i'm sure he's seen the comments and
i'm just like i'm sure that doesn't make him feel good he's like when they get on their podcast
what are they talking about make fun of me or feel good. He's like, when they get on their podcast, they just like talking about, make fun of
me or roast me.
And it's like, this is just one tiny little inside joke that people have hung on to.
And now I will say making the t-shirts.
That was hilarious.
The woman who did that in Phoenix, that was hilarious.
But otherwise, that's how it started.
It was like, yeah, don't, don't worry about Trey.
It's all about Jake's show.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But yeah, Trey's just done so much for me and you now.
I don't like those kinds of jokes. I think one time on the Patreon, somebody said Trey, who, and I commented Trey's just done so much for me and you now. I don't like those kinds of jokes.
I think one time on the page around,
somebody said Trey,
who,
and I commented Trey Kennedy,
he signs our checks.
So,
so,
so stop it.
Moratorium on the Trey who comments.
So now just,
no,
I'm just,
nevermind.
I'm not going to,
don't give me any idea.
Don't give me anything.
Go to the burrito money comments.
Keep doing this.
Well,
I was going to say something nice about Trey,
but don't even, don't even say that. Just to the burrito money comments. Keep doing this. Well, I was going to say something nice about Trey, but don't even don't even say that.
Just copy and paste his Wikipedia page.
Just tell him facts about himself.
There you go.
Yeah.
So rapid fire is fun.
Thank you.
Yeah.
Jean Schwartz has been going well.
We recorded three videos yesterday.
Oh, yeah.
Let's talk about that.
Without Trey, which I have never made a video without Trey.
How do you feel?
You know, it's definitely a different vibe to it.
There was like less structure and less like,
but then again, I think that was kind of the nature of like,
we're trying to cram three videos in one day,
which is something that Trey and I have never done before.
At least not like three full sketches like that.
Yeah.
And sketches that are not the easiest to write material on.
Yeah.
You know, it was just like,
we didn't have a lot of it written beforehand.
So like writing it and shooting it, at least two least two of the videos like i don't even know the
the style of this video so you know like it wasn't the easiest right you know it wasn't just like
how we if we if you and i made a video called big guys for skinny guys that would be so easy
right we would know exactly how this is going to look and the jokes we could write but how often
does that happen i'm i'm always curious about like what we do compared to what you and trey normally do like as far as like like how often do you go into
the filming day because like usually we write on mondays film on wednesdays how often do you go
into wednesday being like i don't really know exactly what this video is going to look like
it happens sometimes it's not how it's happening with us like sometimes you don't have to worry
about it and other times you're like is there a better way we could be yes like distributing these jokes right so it does happen from time to time
but but not as often as it's a little more rigid you know it's like this is the format this is what
you do yeah one liner after one liner and ours is it's really nice to experiment we do the green
screen stuff we'll throw in a music video we'll do a fake documentary from time to time but yeah
yeah ours has been more fun and more like a typical YouTube video with the Facebook marketplace,
you know, different characters or, um, yeah, the truck guys, but people really like the truck guys video.
Yeah.
Which is cool.
Cause you're not a typical truck guy.
So it was kind of hard, you know, we're all having to like, yeah.
Right.
Material for people we don't know about.
And you're having to act quite a bit, but it did trigger like a lot of like different
other truck people that were like, Oh, it's not it.
It's an F one 50 though.
Like this guy, he's driving a four.
He's not driving a truck. It's like, like you you're you're the reason we're making this video it's
people like you uh which is pretty funny but uh yeah it did go pretty well which was nice because
for a while i was like maybe i'm the common denominator when brad's out of it then the
video does well so it was nice to see one that i was in perform well so yeah of course um yeah yeah
we recorded some yesterday.
We did small talk, which I think is,
I think that one could be funny.
Yeah, it's got some potential.
Yeah, I thought that one was pretty goofy.
And then a pickleball one and then a Tesla one,
which were all really fun.
So yeah, we're sitting on all the stereotypes
of cars, apparently.
Brad made some friends at the pickleball courts.
And so we played, what were the real names?
Heidi. Heidi and Craig. Heidi and Craig were the real real names but we called them butch and gladys he self-proclaimed himself butch which i was like that's perfect oh great yeah into
the one i was like we already talked about like a fake gladys off camera so if it's cool we're
gonna call you gladys she's like all right she was probably 60 years old maybe no younger that's rude to heidi if heidi
listens to this heidi i think you were younger than 60 okay how old 54 okay she was probably
54 years old and i was in my head i was envisioning gladys being like 80 years yeah yeah you know but
she had a hat on like maybe people can think like she's older than we portray her spiked it on me
good yeah she got your pickleball yeah she did i was like that's why they call it that yeah uh but yeah we have fun with that one we'll see you know it was mostly tried to be
physical humor and a little bit of you know one-liners and stuff on that and yeah the tesla
one was just yeah that was fun to write as well so uh speaking of pickleball this is not the first
podcast i've been on today brad that's right i've heard about this while we were recording our
episode last week i got a text from a woman said, would you like to be on my pickleball
podcast? And I, you know, when we were recording that 20 minutes earlier, I'd said, this is the
summer. Yes. Yeah. So I was like, well, can't say no, I guess. Right. Uh, although I still do say
no, just FYI, everyone's like, Oh, I can just get Jake on my phone. Okay. Hey, Jake, I'm coming to
Kansas city. Can I hang out with you for a week? But no, this girl, uh, I know this woman, she,
and, um, yeah, she's really, really great and really fun. And so I was like, sure. And so
I did that this morning and it was, uh, it was fun. It was fine. She told me to get there at
nine 45. Cause we were going to sound check. And I was like, Oh, sound, this is official.
Do I need to bring a guitar or something? And I got there at nine 45, but their sound guy didn't
show up until like 10 30. So we just kind of sat there.
That kills me.
That kills me a little bit.
Yeah.
It's like I'm very busy.
Yeah.
Trey gave me like four videos to edit because Trey's out of town.
That's why we didn't shoot with Trey yesterday.
Yeah.
So between today and tomorrow, like I'm trying to edit four videos.
This is some time.
Anyway.
Yeah.
I pull into like this very empty parking lot, go to this building and an older gentleman
walks out of the door before I even walk in.
It dresses.
I've never seen this guy before in my life.
It dresses me by name and goes, ah, Jake, you can't park there.
And immediately this is kind of a lot to take in because I don't know you.
You said my name.
I can't park there.
Is he joking?
Does he know me?
You know, whatever.
I'm like, OK, you know, kind of like awkwardly.
I cannot read the situation at all.
I kind of awkwardly laugh.
Try to walk
through the door steps in front of me oh it wasn't like we touched he's the bouncer yeah he's the
bouncer of the pickleball podcast studio and so like oh oh i'm sorry okay yeah just move it anywhere
else yeah anywhere with that spot was it marked or anything no no signage nothing so okay the the
verdict is still out on what in the world that was.
I don't know who this is.
I never talked to that guy again.
And I've not like.
You didn't figure out his role?
I don't know.
I even talked to Kat, the woman who was doing the parking.
I was like, do you have any idea why he would have told me to change spots?
He goes, he told you to switch parking spots?
I was like, yeah.
She's like, I don't know.
Maybe he's just a psychopath.
That's like how he messes with people.
Like whatever spot they choose first.
It's like, that's, you can't park there. I't think so you thought you were gonna park in that spot move any other
spot with that one that was kind of interesting okay but the podcast went well she had another
guest on as well uh another guest on another guest on i was bell and just how weston likes it
and uh i was a little pancake boy and no she had another guest on this guy named zach which
it's kind of cool she's only ever had she had another guest on this guy named Zach, which is kind of cool.
She's only ever had she has a guest on every podcast episode, and she's only ever had
professional pickleball players.
And then she had me on.
So I'm like, I'm honored, but I don't know, you know, whatever.
I feel like it's a little different.
Right.
And she has this other guy on who I'm friends with him as well.
Was he also amateur?
He is like probably one of the top three best in Kansas City.
So very good, but not necessarily like a professional yet.
But still, I'm by far the worst person to be on this podcast.
What constitutes the difference between like, do you have to like declare yourself?
Look at us.
Oh, we should both answer these at the same time.
Brad and I are both getting random phone calls.
Hi, this is Brad.
Hello.
Hi, this is Brad.
My name is Erica Davis.

Okay. Your new package, sir, is fully customizable. Okay, I'm gonna hold in line
Oh, thank goodness
Oh
My gosh, why would I not do this? Wow, this is awesome
Can I ask you oh She hung up on me. I was just about to get dang it i was just about to really
go in she hung up on me do you know who i am i don't even park in the first spot that's bold
to hang up on you because obviously you were messing with her but like like what if someone
was just a little bit weird and that's how they responded things because you weren't like saying
anything rude i don't think so you were you, you were like, not like interested for real,
but she didn't know that.
Dang.
I wish she would call back.
I had something in mind.
I was going to say,
dang it.
She just texted you.
Didn't she?
No.
Patreon comment.
Gosh,
just so much Patreon engagement.
Oh my gosh.
I'd get on there if I were you guys.
There is some stuff.
Yeah.
There's some stuff.
There's some stuff.
There's some stuff.
There's some stuff. Okay some stuff there's some stuff
okay well that was fun for both of us to get phone calls at the same time
i got i got a phone call the other day this is a new um tactic from the telemarketers i you know
i always answer hi this is hi this is brad every single time hi this is brad hi this is brad and
this one it just waited for about five seconds. And then an automated thing just goes, goodbye.
Got you good.
Like, what's the point of that?
I'm genuinely curious.
What, what could they do with that?
Is this you?
Or is this, is this you?
Or is this a girl I dated?
Someone close in my life had a theory.
Yes, it was me.
Oh, it's okay.
Is it you?
With like the hellos?
Yeah.
Like they're recording all your hellos.
Yeah, yeah.
And then eventually they're going to be able to take take that like use it against you yeah that was my
that's a good theory isn't it that's a good theory with the like the five second goodbye
that makes a little more sense goodbye like like that's the only thing i can think of is that
they're recording the other line like trying to get my voice to do something with it if they get
enough of the right words together they can put something together that says hello i would like
to buy a credit card my name is brad deuce my name is brad deuce and you can call yeah even then though like how do
they steal your identity from just a couple voice you know recordings uh goodbye goodbye um anyway
to wrap up that if they said that the podcast episode that i was on won't be out for a month
because they need to edit it so i you know i of said, okay, yeah, no, totally.
You should have volunteered your editing.
You'd be like, well, obviously, you know, editing can take a long time.
So I'll charge you about three weeks worth, even though it'll take me four weeks.
I can do it in like 30 minutes.
But anyway, I think the podcast is called In a Pickle.
How fun is that?
Oh, I get it.
So look for that when it comes out.
In a Pickle.
Okay. In the meantime, Brad, I just got a text. Let, I get it. Uh-huh. So look for that when it comes out. In a pickle. Okay.
In the meantime, Brad, I just got a text.
Let's talk about it.
Yeah.
It's from my friend, Lindsay.
Porter?
No.
You wish.
You wish.
No, no, no.
I did text her.
Well, whatever.
No, no, no.
Oh, yeah.
Tell us.
Tell us those texts.
I like your voice.
Tell us. Tell us. Different Lindsay I like your voice. Tell us.
Tell us.
Different Lindsay.
This is the Lindsay that I met at a Sonic in Omaha and then hung out with her in Hawaii.
She's the one that we left Bo on the doorstep when she was coming to my house.
This is that Lindsay.
Okay.
She texted me just this.
I'll let you see.
We'll put it up on the screen.
Just a picture of herself and just caption.
Like I'm some little slave caption. She said caption? said caption yeah you see that that's all she texted me just
a picture of herself and just said caption i don't like that so yeah it'd be a little needy but let's
take this time to give her a caption okay but let's be mean about it since she's just she doesn't
even say please or anything yeah caption so if you guys can imagine we'll put it on youtube which
hopefully this girl's yeah she's put on instagram she'll love it it's just her leaned over hair is
kind of like all over her face but it looks nice uh she's got jean shorts on maybe we realize that
it looks like she's on the beach in hawaii okay so first thing that come to my mind literally just
now is the initials for the state of Hawaii are high,
which is something you should say to your friend when you text them out of nowhere,
when you want something from them. Follow Gene Schwartz comedy. Also follow Gene Schwartz comedy,
which is what I'm wearing on my shorts right now. That's pretty good. That was the first thing that
came to mind. I was trying to think of like, uh, you know, what's the word comparing or like
similarizing. That's not the right word comparing works well oh but they're
not comparing paralleling the rocks with the rocky hair day that she's having okay i don't know some
kind of pun there three three of my favorite things rocky road rocky rocks and to be honest
sometimes a rocky hair day because that means i'm having an adventure yeah i wonder why the
wi-fi is weak what about about just a Walt Whitman quote?
Let's just look up a quick Walt Whitman quote.
Walt Whitman quote.
Walt Whitman quote real quick.
Okay, what's a Walt Whitman quote?
Hey, I just have some more areas
where I'm going to help you out with a Walt Whitman quote.
Okay, this one.
The first one.
Do I contradict myself?
Very well, then I contradict myself.
I am large.
I contain multitudes.
You think that's good?
Walt Whitman quote.
I don't know much about Walt.
Walter White.
We were together.
I forget the rest.
Ooh, that's nice.
That's a nice little vacation quote.
That's like a cute relationship one.
I like that.
I'll use that on a honey someday.
I might engrave that on a piece of wood sometime.
Okay.
Sell them on,
you know,
Instagram.com.
Yeah.
That's good.
We were together.
I forget the rest.
Yeah.
I actually really like that too.
I'll text that to Lindsay Porter.
I would wrong.
Lindsay.
Sorry.

um,
I sound my barbaric yop over the roofs of the world. What about that one for her? Hmm. I sound my barbaric yop over the roofs of the world what about that one for her
i sound my barbaric yop y-a-w-p yop i think that was like the first draft of um wop they were
thinking about going to yop but the acronym just didn't line up it was they were going to use yams
and then the other words and just i like yop i'm gonna start
i'm gonna start using yacht more it means a harsh or horse cry for help or no i'm sorry a harsh or
horse cry or yelp i read that wrong but okay oh i stepped on the dog's tail yarped you yoked or

I might have YARPed my pants.
What is it though?
What is the word?
YARP?
YARP.
YARP.
Y-A-W-P.
YARP.
Just look at it as Y-O-P.
While you were Googling Walt Whitman quote, I was like, ooh, fun game idea just came to me.
I'm going to find a Drake quote,
and I'm going to ask Brad if he thinks this is Drake or Walt Whitman.
And so I even typed in deep Drake quote,
and you cannot find anything.
This dude has never said anything deep in his life.
This is actually sad.
Over time, this is like one of the first results.
Drake.
Over time, you realize that some people just aren't worth it anymore.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Is that good, Drake?
I like it when money makes a difference, but you don't make it different.
I might have read that wrong.
I might have yopped on that.
I looked at you, and the next thing you know, it was your open.
Yeah.
Here we go.
This is actually the number one result. if you type in deep drake quote
if i ever loved you i'll always love you that's how i was raised that's deep that's good all right
now i'm gonna do some walt whitman quotes in my drake impersonation that i've never done wait
we gotta put on a drake instrumental and then you gotta say walt whitman quotes this is gonna be
great all right i don't know drake very well though so it's not gonna go very okay hold on hold on hold on let me find it and i want to pull up some quotes too. This is going to be great. I don't know Drake very well, though, so it's not going to go very well. Okay, hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Let me find
it. And I want to pull up some quotes, too.
One of these is like a great rap line,
actually.
Drake-type instrumental, Walt Whitman.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Started from the bottom, now we're here.
I've never done this either, or even thought about doing this,
but you'll still do better than I will, so that's good.
Yeah. People like the NF stuff,
but.
Oh,
that was great.
I have something to read though.
That helps me.
I can't think of it off the top of my head.
Wait,
are you going to,
are you going to freestyle or are you going to?
No,
no,
no,
no,
no,
no.
I'm going to find one of the quotes.
Okay.
I'm on goodreads.com.

So.
All right.
Drake type beat.
Yeah.
You ready?
Yeah.
Yeah.
One time for the six.
Obey your thirst.
Hey,
I'm bad as the worst,
but thank God I'm as good as the best.
I exist as I as the best I exist
as I am and that's enough
peace is always beautiful
failing to fetch me at first
keeping courage
like you're echoing yourself
speak for yourself
yeah
I love the yeah I think I've listened to Drake Like you're echoing yourself. Speak for yourself. Yeah.
I love the yeah.
I think I've listened to Drake three times in my life.
Oh, that's not much.
No.
Unless it's on like at the bowling alley or something.
Oh, that's a good spot to listen to Drake.
I don't know, but I think Drake's kind of a dork.
A dork?
I think a lot of people really like him.
He seems like a dork to me.
That's my take on Drake. I think anyone into sports is kind of cool. Like a dork i think a lot of people really like him he seems like a dork to me i like that's my take on drake i think anyone into sports is kind of cool like a dork is like he's kind of a dork because
he's like into sports but like just goes around and like tries to be a part of every team dork
uh i think you'd call him a bandwagon fan which is kind of dorky it sounds like you just really
want to call him a dork no matter what yeah you say, I'm going to say dork.
Okay.
What were we talking about, though?
I don't know if it matters that much.
Yeah.
Oh, caption.
That's what we're talking about. Oh, yeah.
Whatever.
I'll text her back later.
Yeah.
I think the together one was nice.
Or peace is always beautiful.
That's nice.
Just that.
She's expecting this really clever, witty thing.
The vacations can be nice.
Yeah.
Hawaii is lovely
yeah um speaking of music real quick i wanted to talk about uh oh i got out of that app or that
tab let me find it i was listening to a song this week came up on my uh discover weekly which has
been letting me down big time lately but this time this is a song called 90s kids by a girl
named jacks which i'm pretty sure i've seen this seen this girl on my For You page a lot. I think she's big.
Tick-tock-a.
Okay.
We get to the bridge of the song,
and here are the lyrics.
Do you got a tamagotchi?
Like a real tamagotchi.
Do you know that I tamagotchi you
if you tamagotch me?
Heard that line before.
That's my line.
Yeah.
Available on YouTube.com publicly.
Aaron Scarborough.
Come on.
I'm going to call you Jax.
We, yeah.
What's that?
White kids, middle class in the nineties?
Something like that.
Something like that.
I think it's still, it's one of the few videos I've allowed to still be up on my YouTube
channel.
I'm saying we're probably going to put it up on Spotify soon enough.
Maybe we redo it. That'd be fun. i would allow something like that did i remember correctly
that it was a childish gambino beat oh good memory yeah it was one of those yeah so we
couldn't use that we'd have to yeah do something else but man that's a good song dude uh so you
can milk while you're doing it yeah in the fake studio yeah i had to lip sync to the song i'd
already made the day before anyway obviously this girl did not steal this line from me,
but I did think it was cool that it ended up in another 90s song.
Do you remember what your line was?
I just remember Tamagotchi.
Sipping on that yoo-hoo.
You want to play games, girl?
You want to play games, girl?
You know I Tamagotchi.
Something like that, I think.
It rhymed with yoo-hoo, I think.
Let's talk real quick.
Are 90s kids anybody that's born in the 90s or do they have to live a good amount of their
formative years in the 90s because i don't think 1999 kids i know they technically are but like
that doesn't feel like a 90s kid to me i feel like i was hanging out with someone recently
who was born in like 98 and i was surprised at how much of my childhood they also related to
really i was like oh that's quite a bit of difference.
But they like knew like.
They never watched Michael Jordan play though.
That's true.
You know what I mean?
Yeah, they missed that.
Mark McGuire, Sammy Sose?
Yeah.
When was that?
Like 2001.
Okay.
2000 maybe?
Yeah.
99, I don't know, 98?
Like Eli McDonald is 1999.
Okay.
He doesn't feel like a 90s kid to me.
Yeah.
But I think he would still maybe know like
burning a music onto a blank disc okay like that kind of stuff in my head means like all right you
get it yeah you've lived before it got hard right before it got easy right yeah yeah so to me that's
the cutoff of like has you have you burned music onto a blank disc okay if so you're cool with me
okay if not i'm gonna get a hold of jacks and we're gonna know what cdr is then we're good then you're cool with me if you have tamagotch me all right nice so
anyway check out jacks on tiktok so you say but you say that the discover weekly is not working
very well for you i feel like back in the day when it first came out i would i was loving it
it was such a which spotify does as a platform they do a great job of introducing you to new
music yeah but it's not always good music it's like yeah i've never heard of any of the last seven artists you played
for me but i don't like any of it yeah so do they have such thing for discover weekly for podcasts
because they should they should we should do that one like month or whatever yes i never got to the
bottom of it yeah i don't know what happened where we were like popping off every tuesday or something
every tuesday at 6 p.m we got all these these listeners. And I never, never found out why.
Maybe that was it.
Maybe it was Jax.
Jax.
Yeah, she heard us talking.
Tom, I got you.
Yeah.
Tom, I got you.
Let's see.
Anything else?
Oh, let's talk about the Olympics real quick.
I know I've been talking about it a lot on this podcast.
Correct opinions.
Just Jake.
Everything.
But I haven't talked about it much.
So I'd love to talk about it with you.
Okay.
I've just been watching as much as I can.
Typically late at night.
Oh, I bought a Peacock subscription last night.
Did you?
I'm in.
Good for you.
Yeah, they don't.
It's it's OK.
I'm definitely going to forget to unsubscribe from it.
So that sucks.
Yeah, it does suck.
But it was like 1 a.m.
And men's basketball was on.
And the only place you can find it is on Peacock, which is so annoying.
That is so annoying.
It's like the biggest sport in the world.
No wonder viewership is down.
Biggest sport in America, maybe for the Olympics.
Yes.
Yes.
Or at least the one that like most typical sports fans
would love to watch USA men's basketball.
It's awesome.
It should be the gateway drug.
They should see it as like,
hey, we'll get them in by watching the basketball
and then maybe they'll stay for trampoline
and the weightlifting.
And pommel horse and weightlifting and archery
and all this other stuff that.
Exactly.
You don't turn on your TV because you're like,
I got to watch the archery final exactly it's how they they always put like
these new blooming like shows after the super bowl because people are already watching you know so
that's what they should be doing but yeah the only place you can watch it is on peacock which is so
annoying so i'm just gonna do it and uh i guess i don't really have anything else to say about
peacock whatever i'm in though i'm in and it's nice. It's good. Good user interface.
Overall, a fan.
But Isaac and I were talking about,
we were watching the 200-meter dash final
for men's track and field.
One, I Googled Tyree Kills' high school time,
and he would have finished sixth in the Olympics.
In 200-meter?
In 200-meter.
Really?
His time when he was 18 years old
would have been sixth best in today's Olympics,
which is amazing.
Wow.
And everyone's breaking world records at this track.
It's like a really bouncy track.
So who knows what Tyree could, like, it's crazy that we, one of the fastest people in the world is on our football team.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Right.
Not even just like fastest people in the NFL.
Fastest people in the world.
He plays football with Patrick Mahomes.
Right.
In our city.
So that's cool.
But also, like, unless your name is usain bolt no one else knows
your name there can't be any money in being fast yeah you know so like do the fastest people in the
world all like have corporate jobs like do they work at jamba juice or do they work at like an
accounting firm seriously it's like i bet i bet you're sponsored enough right like to to get
pushed towards it okay the guy who finished in seventh is from Trinidad and Tobago.
Okay.
Do you think he's like a sponsored?
I bet.
Yeah,
I bet.
I just,
I would be shocked if he's like making,
is he,
I will say like provide for himself with a running sponsorship.
Yeah, you're right.
I don't know.
I listened to,
did you ever see the guy?
He was in the Olympic trials.
His name was like Craig angles.
He sounds so slow.
It's so white.
He is very white.
He sounds like Joe Ingallsles like the australian
basketball player let me find a picture of him he like kind of went viral on uh twitter because he
looks amazing he's this guy craig angles so he got oh he looks awesome he got fourth in the
olympic trials for like long distance running okay and. And so, and Barstool, big cat, like got really into him. Big mullet, big mustache for those of you not watching. Yeah. Uh, so he,
they got, he got interviewed on part of my take and I was listening to it and he's sponsored,
like he's sponsored by Nike. I don't know how much he's an American. True. I'm saying like,
you could be from another country. You were the fastest people in the world and you have to like
get a college degree in a job like that stinks. Yeah, that's true. Yeah, that would be those are the kind of things I'm interested in watching documentaries
economy of Olympic athletes of the Olympics of referees.
I'm very interested to know like about referees, Olympic referees.
No, just referees in general, like like people that are like very invested and very into
a sport or a profession that might not pay very much money.
So they have to also do something else.
So like, yeah, a judge, the archers.
Yeah, I'm sure they're not full time arch.
Someday.
I'm sure that.
Yeah, because I know a lot of those referees are also like lawyers and stuff.
How does that work?
I want to watch a documentary about it.
Yeah, that's cool.
That's a good point.
Yeah.
Once track and field was over last night, I was watching women's golf by myself, which
shows you.
I mean, I don't even know what kind of man I've've become it was i'm just so engrossed in golf now
i was gonna say were you into it or was it just on and so you're like i'm sitting no i was into it
my girl i got a new crush okay it's nelly nelly yeah nelly corda yeah yeah uh alex dim check is
facetiming me i got it sorry sorry alex i'll i'll facetime you back later uh i'll tell him okay
hey buddy he's gonna facetime you back later okay
yeah man wow say hi what an honor well you guys get back to it are you at an airport i wanted
hey i wanted to see if you guys want to put pickleball in Kansas City at midnight tonight.
I don't.
I'm just kidding.
I'm going to be getting to Kansas City
at 11, so I wanted to see
if I could see Jake
or both of you.
You don't want to see me. You just want to see Joel.
Alright, well, get back to your recording.
He said he'll call you back
all right peace all right dude i don't ever hang up good for you man yeah i'm glad he was at an
airport because if he was just facetiming me with a mask on i would have had to like never be his
friend again oh i'm sorry you always forget about this no you could see your own face thank goodness
he never confirmed he was at an airport but surely i'll bring it up when i see him hey you're in
airport right right if not get out of my car yeah uh oh so i'm watching women's golf yeah my girl nelly
nelly she was just playing phenomenal american yeah she's awesome and uh when was it oh harrison
and isaac join and so we're all watching we're all getting into it and they're doing like nbc
does this thing around then where it's kind of picture in picture i mean other networks do it
when sports is on where it's like it kind of goes to a commercial, but they still kind of show you the action a little bit.
Now we're watching women's golf and it's definitely it's not live.
How late is this?
How late are you watching?
This is like eleven thirty at night.
OK, I thought this was after the basketball game at one or one a.m.
But it's not.
OK, no, this is last night.
And oh, I see you're saying the basketball game we watch.
We haven't talked about basketball and we played. Oh, have fun. OK, sorry. Let me this is last night. And, oh, oh, I see what you're saying. The basketball game we watch. We haven't even talked about the basketball game we played.
Oh, yeah.
Have fun.
Okay, sorry.
Let me get to this really quick.
It's picture to picture, and it says it's live, but it's not,
because they'll, like, they instantly go from, like,
here's her tee shot, boom, now she's putting.
So it's like, okay, it's not live.
They're, like, chopping this together and making it really fast.
And while we're on commercial, while this, like,
Korean golfer is in, like, a tiny little corner of the screen,
she hits a hole-in-one at the Olympics while a Starbucks commercial is on.
Harrison knew it.
Yes, that's what I'm saying.
Like you had time to like edit this.
So this is not during the commercial break.
That's not cool.
I was so fired up.
And even like five minutes later, Harrison is still fired.
He's like, I cannot believe that.
I was like, I know.
Like this girl, like the hardest thing, one of the hardest things to do in sports.
She did it televised all at the Olympic Games.
Yeah.
And now she even she screenshots this. If she she screen records this she's next to a starbucks
commercial i was so mad at nbc hopefully korean nbc did not do that hopefully korean bc korean
that's terrible and yeah they knew it they knew it wasn't live you can edit this however you want
maybe it was a coup from the americans like watch this it came from a lab and take this kim jong uh yeah it came from wuhan um whole own one kim kim this is like this
like one of the first maybe the first time ever they've done golf in the olympics that true it's
my first year ever caring about it so i wouldn't know i think it's it's definitely like a newer
olympic sport okay good for them and so yeah even that like it's probably one of the first times
there's been a hole in one in the sport yeah that's a good point show it yeah
oh we don't need to know about starbucks 11 30 nobody's drinking that late that late at night
yeah you sorry you don't even need commercials you're doing fine you're doing just fine stop
with the commercials yeah seriously yeah huh okay that's i got that off my chest we're good now okay
let's talk basketball now okay if you want yeah i Okay. I wanted to get that break being a show, but I had to tell everyone how successful I was
to stand up comedy instead.
That was a good start.
It was a good start.
Yeah.
We played basketball this past Monday, and this was the last week of the regular season.
We were three and two going into it.
It was win and you're in.
Win and you're in.
There were three teams all tied for third place.
Two of the three are going to make it into the playoffs.
We played the Decepticons, I think was their name.
Was it really?
I think so.
It was fun.
I can't.
I'm trying to remember about anything in the game.
All I remember is that I didn't score any points.
And remember, Scott went.
Scott got hot.
Oh, Scott went ham.
Scott's tots.
Yeah.
He made like four threes to start the game.
And then I don't know if a ball went in the rest of the night.
You know what?
Yeah, he got enough for us. So it was a very hot start that was when people are like dude you gotta guard
him he's the shooter oh he got steph curry treatment the rest of the night which was great
because like he's not our best shooter luke is our best shooter by far so it was great that like
their best defender just locked up scott this is fine actually great scott passed to luke now
yeah and luke did hit a dagger so all right oh yeah i don't really know
if you guys care about all these basketball updates but i think the basketball fans probably
do we were playing pretty well we had a good game we were playing really good defense start the
second half and you look up and we're up 15 with like uh probably 10 minutes left in the second
half and it's like all right this is nice like we're good we got this and uh something happens
and then we just don't make a bucket for a very long time.
Yeah.
I think at the end of the first half,
we were in the 30s,
and then near the end of the game,
we were in the 40s.
We didn't score very many points
at all the second half.
Yeah, I guess we didn't do a whole lot.
Scott didn't make four threes in a row.
That was his fault.
Yeah.
But yeah, we just couldn't get anything going.
This team's slowly coming back,
and that's never the spot
where you want to be.
It's like,
we just can't do anything, and they're coming back. They're coming back and that's never the spot the way you know where you want to be or it's like how we can't do anything and uh they're coming back they're
coming back they finally take the lead with like a minute left in the game this is their first lead
all game and uh i will say luke's had a couple rough possessions there's like shots that normally
fall or fouls he should be getting yeah it's like nothing is going our way for five possessions in
a row everyone's cold nothing's going in and we're kind of just like spreading the floor,
waiting to see what Luke does.
Like, I think there's now
under a minute left.
So now it's like, all right,
we need to like
get a shot up pretty quickly
in case this doesn't go in.
We need enough time
to either foul them
or get a rebound or whatever.
Luke's just dribbling it,
dribbling it, dribbling it.
Pulls three.
Swoosh.
Yes.
Boom.
Up by two.
Never look back.
That was awesome.
We Luke then gets the defense
of rebound on the other side of the court. They foul him. He sinks two free throws as the dagger to win the
game. It was just beautiful. And next thing you know, I'm in the shower thinking about it. Sorry,
Weston. Sorry about a new pancake boy. Yeah, it was awesome. Like because he's a good driver,
too. So everyone was expecting him to drive. We're down by one point. We just need, you know,
a bucket. And then he just pulls up that right in a guy's eye yeah that was too bad for him oh that was so nice yeah so it was good we're in the playoffs
yep we got uh we're in the three seed now right which makes sense i'd say we're the third best
team so i'd be very shocked if we it'll take a good game to win the first one be very shocked
if we win the championship i'm trying to remember, I remember the team that we lost really bad to. I can't remember the other team.
We've lost twice?
Yep.
We lost one time
by like one point, right?
That was to the team
with five college basketball players.
We lost by one.
Oh, and we played really well.
We played very well.
Yeah, like we haven't played
that well since then.
We haven't.
Well, your best case scenario
is Isaac.
Oh, so Isaac got injured
at the game.
He rolled his ankles.
It's still pretty swollen. He's like 50-50 on if he can go. What we need is that scenario is Isaac. Oh, so Isaac got injured at the game. He rolled his ankles. It's still pretty swollen.
He's like 50, 50.
I don't know if he can go.
What we need is that morning, Isaac, to tell us I can't go.
So then we invite Rustin to play with us.
Rustin, if you're listening.
Rustin, hopefully you're an early morning Monday listener.
Rustin plays with us.
Then also Isaac is able to go.
OK, we have eight.
Who cares?
Rustin is a three time All-American.
Right.
Would they let us play with eight if we only have seven on our roster oh is that how it works i don't know i
would assume so i'll take a i'll take a dive it's fine i've been more of a coach anyway yeah right
lately so i'll just tell you guys what i do like like that is fun since you've played so much more
basketball so much more basketball than the rest of us like you do like giving us pointers and
stuff like let's do this.
You know,
like last time it was near the end of the game.
We were up by two and they called the timeout.
They were like setting up a play.
We'd been in zone all night.
Yeah.
I like this.
You said for after three passes or four on the third pass,
we're going to switch to man to man.
Yeah.
That way it screws up like their zone play that they have ready to go,
which I'm sure they're scheming his own play very well.
I mean,
I would be if I was in the huddle that's like the only situation you do that and
it was one though yeah and you were you were like this you were you're holding up your one
two you know and then we did it yeah i think i took for granted i didn't know i was very well
coached in high school basketball just because you know you just only know what you've experienced
then i got to college and you're playing your murals it's like oh these people that played high school basketball and are better
athletes as me don't even know how to like pass and screen away or like very simple stuff really
yeah you know then playing on the women's basketball practice squad team for four years
you know it's kind of like being collegiately coached for four years in a way you just see
how the girls were coached so um yeah it helped a lot and you know when it comes to intermediate
casey crew hy-vee arena basketball come on. That's how we make the playoffs, baby.
And having Luke Hoagland on your team.
That's also...
That helps, too.
That is nice.
That doesn't hurt, yeah.
That is nice.
So if you guys are in the area,
you know, Monday night,
I guess come,
but no one else is going to be there.
Maybe Hattie and Bo will come again.
Oh, Hattie and Palmer
were going nuts last game.
Yeah, Hattie and Scott's daughter.
Yeah, how'd you feel about that?
I thought it was fun,
but I was like...
Or Catherine was worried, like, I bet other people were going to get annoyed by that. didn't i thought it was fun but i was like or katherine was worried like i bet other people were gonna get annoyed by that oh i thought it
was cute i didn't mind like they were screaming for like a minute straight like go dad go they're
young enough kids yeah where it's not like they're misbehaving they're like they're adorable it's
amazing if they're like eight years old screaming it's like all right quiet your kid down all right
they're all those give them a game boy right shove a screen in their face yeah yeah let them watch you know ryan's toy review right they don't need to be watching a basketball game
yeah it didn't bother me at all and like you know how like back at least i did back in the day like
if someone came and watched you and they're trying to yell at you like you'd always pretend to ignore
them and stuff you know what i mean like you can do that with your four-year-old daughter no and
i didn't want to i was like this is intermediate basketball of course i'm gonna wave at her every
time like even during the game, I'd be like,
hi baby.
You know,
whereas back in the day,
like a girl came and she's like,
hi Brad.
Hi Brad.
I just be like,
Oh sorry.
I was too focused.
Yeah.
I don't,
I don't want the coach to see me like get mad at me for not focusing up or
whatever.
So,
uh,
wait,
why has Catherine been coming recently?
I like it.
Six 30 games.
I'm always really surprised to see her.
I gave her some,
a couple of big finger guns in the game starts.
Like,
well,
Oh yeah. Cause their, their bedtime is seven 30 or 8 ish and so okay uh yeah any
game after 6 30 just doesn't work for our schedule and it's probably a way to wear them out a little
bit before bedtime yeah i think she likes that too yeah so what time do we play this week do you
know 6 30 is our first one oh come on kath so that's kind of fun the most recent gene shorts
videos we shot you know we're talking about your wife. It's a use the word Catherine.
Right.
I think people are going to like that.
Yeah.
The things that you're yelling at Catherine in multiple videos.
Yeah, dude.
Are we going to put that one outtake you think in the small talk video or should we talk
about it here?
What was it?
The sausage one.
Oh, yeah.
No.
Yeah.
I think that's great.
Yeah.
That'll definitely.
I think it should make the bloopers.
Fun preview. That's all you get to know about. Each, that'll definitely I think it should make the bloopers fun preview
That's all you'll get to know about each video had like a thing was like should this go in and they were like let's film
It and see what Trey thinks. Oh, yeah. Oh, that's right
I'm the first video Tesla one that was really funny Brad said the word wieners instead of sausage
So that was a good blooper and then he elaborated a little bit on it and in the second video
The punchline was San Francisco so make whatever or something you want to make and then the second video uh yeah just the punchline was san francisco so make whatever
assumptions you want to make and then the third video was like pickleball like man i'm so good
at pickleball you know maybe it's just because like black people aren't playing it yet you know
which i think is funny and i probably not offensive but you know maybe it's something that doesn't
need to be in that video but it is kind of true it's like white people are good at these sports
because you know they don't need like black people have dominated the dunk contest right and track and field it's
like we need cornhole if kevin durant played pickleball he'd be able to reach like the whole
his wingspan would touch both both sides yeah it's why we just fine we stick to yeah pickleball
and axe throwing yeah it's like this is more our speed honestly you're i'm kind
of even worried about like tennis players just learning more about pickleball and i don't tell
them being like yeah i don't want to play tennis anymore because this sport looks fun because
they're going to dominate everybody yeah so so hush up don't tell your tennis friends keep this
between us don't tell anybody who knows how to play with a racket no one who plays in the advanced
league at casey crew intermediate and lower that's right That's the speed we're in. Yeah, that's right. Um, so, all right. Um, I think we, uh, we, you know, we recorded kind
of quickly, like between last episode and this episode. So we might wait for more voice memos
to come in. Let's do those next week. Cause we're already at like a hour 25 or so. Okay.
So Brad, do you have any, well, do you have anything else to talk about
from your week? Shoot. I just got out of it, but not necessarily. Yeah. Okay. I'll, I'll,
I'll talk about real quick. Do you remember like way back in the day, I saw an ad that I kind of
made fun of about people that were like, Oh, hands. I had wet hands. And so I put the stuff
on my hand. I should put that on my wet mouth. Yeah. Kind of the same thing. It was, but it's
not really wetness. I just saw this
like ridiculous review for this thing called SomniFix S O M N I fix. And it's a way to improve
nose breathing. Yeah. Just look it up real quick. If you don't mind SomniFix, it's a way to improve
nose breathing. Apparently like nose breathing. I think I get targeted ads are probably way
different than you. So have you ever gotten a nose breathing ad?
No.
Oh, this is a Shark Tank thing.
Oh, really?
Saw me fix mouth tape.
Yes, dude.
Look at like the images for it or something.
It's just like, like the most ridiculous looking thing ever.
Basically, like, I guess nose breathing is a big thing.
Or maybe they're just like, hey, let's target overweight people because we know that they're
all mouth breathers.
But because nose breathing is good.
Yes, that's what they're that's what they're trying to say and it i probably agree
with oh it just tapes your mouth shut it literally tapes your mouth shut dude that is dangerous
there's this is not a new invention this is duct tape yeah it's just tape you don't need to go
into shark take for taping people's mouth shut and there's a little slit in there i guess so
you can still breathe a little bit through it but like you're supposed to sleep with that thing in
dangerous justin put a picture of this in real quick. Like it just looks ridiculous. And I,
at first I thought it was like a, a parody like video. And then I was like, no, this is a real
ad for something. People are suffocating themselves by like their own free will by choice. Yeah. It
just looks like I would never like, look at the people sleeping, you know, like the image you get
like, uh, like in a movie, like a horror movie, when you open up the barn door, like the shed and you find the people like taped up, like,
that's what these people look like when they're sleeping. I'm looking at a picture now and it's
of a man and woman spooning together with their mouth tape on. And if I didn't know better,
I would say that he removed the lips of another woman and put them on this woman. And he's a
psychopath. This guy is a freak. Yeah. And he loves other women's lips there's no way i would
ever get like any kind of intimacy with this like i would never want to spoon my wife spoon and yeah
you're you're doing other appliances okay yeah exactly yeah no forking way so i just thought it
was funny it's one of the things that's going to be funnier if you look at it. So look it up. Somnifix. Buy some if maybe you're a big mouth breather and you
love this. Let us know. But I just couldn't believe it. I'm sorry. Yeah, no, that's special.
I'm glad you're getting those ads. It's probably a rough spot to be in. But we should we should
sometime maybe next week or some week in the future. We should compare our targeted ads.
OK, because I I remember asking my brother-in-law
when we were in colorado like oh have you seen those ads for like the like uh less sugar cola
he's like i've never seen those ads and i get them all the time that's called like ugly cola
have you seen those no no ugly cola i think that's what it's called you're just getting like
diets thrown at you constantly i don't even know what i don't follow anything that needs like how do they know it's seen what it needs to see yeah exactly yeah ugly cola it hears the sounds
you make when you get it from a chair it's like i know what we need to advertise that is a big boy
grunt i guarantee you he grunts a lot yeah i get so much golf stuff now and do you get a lot of
just like t-shirts i get so many just like casual t-shirts thrown at me. Oh yeah. You love them.
You buy those though.
But also I like it.
So I mean, yeah.
Like the built in the fresh clean tees and all that.
Fresh clean tees is garbage.
Don't do that.
But cuts.
Oh really?
Built in cuts.
Nice.
Yeah.
Fresh clean tees is a very poor like material, whatever they're using.
Oh, good to know.
Yeah.
Good to know.
Okay.
Now I know.
Shrink in dryer too.
Oh, fresh clean tees shrink in dryer.
Small for skin.
Not good.
Nose breathe.
Take back.
When we were talking about taping over your mouth, did you see that clip of the guy on
the Frontier Airlines flight this week?
Yes.
The $2 million guy.
Yes.
He is screaming on a Frontier Airlines flight.
My parents are worth $2 million, which is just amazing for so many reasons. One, yeah, you're
sitting at the back of a Frontier Airlines flight. So it's not the place to flex to like, I don't
know if you have parents in like their fifties and sixties, like I think that's a reasonable net
worth depending on where you're from for sure. Like I'm not saying like if they own a home and
they've been working their entire life, like I think that's pretty like that's middle class.
Dave Ramsey would be like, yeah, what's your what's your point yeah i mean i'm not nowhere near that point obviously like i think i might still be in the
negatives as far as my net worth but like yeah that seems very reasonable sure and yeah this guy
he seemed like very drunk he probably shouldn't even let him on the plane not that i'm giving him
excuses but i mean he was like groping women assaulting them being so belligerent with his
mouth so they have to tape him shut,
which did they have handcuffs?
Isn't there supposed to be like a marshal on every flight?
Oh, I don't know.
That would make sense.
Duct tape just seems like not the move.
No, it wasn't.
They got suspended.
Did you hear that?
I know.
But also I kind of see like they duct taped his mouth shut
and they duct taped his neck to the chair.
Dehumanized him a little bit.
It's like, I don't know if we needed to tape his neck
to the chair, but honestly, like do what you got to do in the situation
it's just like i think there should just be a better way to restrain people in an airplane
it shouldn't have to come to duct tape they're like get the cuffs we're like all we have is tape
all right all we have is somnifix put it everywhere just got a thousand somnifixes
everywhere you're like like uh like the barrel of monkeys
you're just connecting zombie fixes to each other yeah there's got to be a better way to restrain
people you shouldn't have to use duct tape because that's pretty uns like if there's like any kind of
hazard like hurry on tape them just go sit on them yeah on a mace uh give them the mother goose
treatment yeah have you ever been like duct taped or like taped to anything before? I haven't. No, Weston wouldn't when I asked him.
I'm just curious, like if that really would stop you from getting out of something.
Oh, I think it would. You think so? A couple laps around. You think so? Yeah.
Should we try it? Yeah. OK. Somebody sit right here next week. We'll tape them to it. OK,
I'll see if I can get out. Have you ever seen those things where we're going to duct tape
our principal to the wall? No. You've never seen can imagine yeah and then you remove like the milk crate he was standing on and
oh mr sotens against the wall oh gotcha yeah no that's fun like it was like whoever won the
contest for most fundraise stuff i think it was like a dollar for a piece of tape dude this is
gonna sound this is gonna sound like way like worse than it really was you and
no but i won some contests i don't remember what it was in elementary school but i got to have a
pudding fight with my principal where we were like kind of in a tub and we were like putting
on the principal doesn't that sound terrible it was the most innocent thing you've ever heard of
but well people said that in court before that's fair yeah people went to michael jackson's neverland we're like what i'm pretty sure that's what it was i
like roller coaster he was a really nice guy to me when i was seven years old the loop-de-loops
what's the big deal yeah i don't know he didn't touch me yet i don't know what it was i i just
remember being able to put pudding on his head and i thought that was really funny and you i don't
think i got puddinged i think i just puddinged my uh principal that's okay right it was just me doing it to him so you think it but it was super innocent oh yeah the
pudding fight oh yeah in the bathtub right with your principal and it was in his house so it was
like very like very private yeah it wasn't like a cold tub like he kind of warmed it up
not that warm if you know what i mean i'm just kidding um were people watching
yeah it was like a public thing at our school that may have to be the title of the episode
in a bathtub with my principal are you kidding me dude my goodness it was a bathtub it was like
one of those like hard plastic pools i think there were other kids yeah yeah i don't i don't
remember very well maybe my mom remembers i don't even remember what I did to earn this.
I think he just liked me a lot.
Yeah, you didn't have to do anything.
He spotted you from first grade.
It's like at some point, I'm going to have him in a tub.
I don't know.
I don't remember anything else about it, to be honest.
That principal left after that year.
That's not even a joke.
That's a true story.
Went to a different school.
Something about, I think it was someone named Alan.
They kept saying Alan Gations. I don't know who that it was someone named Alan. They kept saying Alan Gations.
I don't know who that was.
Someone named Alan made him leave.
Alan Gators, I think.
Alan Gations was his name?
I don't know why he left.
In a different state, too.
Yeah.
He had to go into Missouri for some reason.
Yeah, they were saying, let's send him to Texas.
And I was like, okay, that sounds nice.
Warm down there.
Yeah, good for him.
Uh-huh. And I was like, okay, that sounds nice. Warm down there. Yeah. Good for him.
Anyway, I was like, this is going to sound weird saying it out loud, but it was true.
Somnifix.
I'm glad you brought that up.
That led to a lot there.
Good.
That'll do a lot.
Yeah.
Let's go over our favorite five-star reviews of the week, Brad.
All right.
Let me pull them up real quick.
Mine is from cast19086754. Love the username. which one is it uh this is 198 6754 okay yeah yeah okay the title of her review says it's on the podium for sure then she goes on to say it's like when you learned
that handball or skateboarding or fast walking were olympic sports you become obsessed you think
i could do this. Paris 2024.
You Amazon a leotard and start a stretching routine.
Blood, sweat, and tears spilled on your floor.
You wake up, tears just like spilled.
Like, oh no.
No, not on the floor.
I spilled my tears.
Clean up on aisle four.
The gypsy women are not gonna like.
Okay, you wake up early and go to bed late.
You fight through the pain of your recurring injuries
and you push away the thoughts of anxiety
to prove that little girls anywhere
can achieve their dreams
if they work hard enough and listen to this podcast.
That's right.
We love little girls listening to this podcast.
Yeah, all ages.
Thank you, cast19086574.
Thank you.
Mine's from Mallory Jo with the smiley face.
Playful.
Easy.
Thank you. I did that i did that last week frick it's like four days ago frick i was looking at mine uh pop and flip is a new one
haven't seen it charitable i haven't seen it let me go charitable i'll start it real slow and you
fill in this is from pamela moran the best she says the best podcast to which you'll
ever listen I've been
listening for about a
year now but finally
have an iPhone in order
to leave a review this
is the type of podcast
that you can drop in
anytime and listen but
is best consumed if you
go back to the
beginning so you're in
on all the jokes oh
nice nice advice there
good Pam Jake and
Brad have great
chemistry and are
hilarious signs boys
mm-hmm covalent bonds
so much that they couldn't contain
it to just audio. So go
check out Gene Schwartz comedy on YouTube.
Thanks, J&B.
Pamela Warren.
I believe she is Canadian.
Ah.
Well, the T.U.I. say bonjour.
So maybe I should have said, I've been listening for about
a year now.
Cool.
It was fun. Yeah, thank you, listening for a boat a year now. Cool.
It was fine.
Yeah.
Thank you, Pamela.
Pamela.
My ding dong.
Thank you for that review.
And now it is time.
Well, actually, let me ask you first, Brad, would you like to redeem yourself from last week and in this episode with a jingle?
I think so.
OK, let me.
Oh, no, I have it on my computer now.
What speed would you like this regular fricking speed,
please?
Regular speed.
And this is also where you need to point to me when it's time,
right?
Yes.
Okay.
Before we get started,
just to have some grace with me here,
because my gosh,
we tried to do this last week and it did not go well.
Um,
I tried to go really fast.
We did one and a half times speed,
one and a half times speed. Turns out it's about one and a half times speed. One and a half times speed.
Turns out it's about one and a half times faster than normal.
Oh, wow.
And so it was a little different and I hadn't prepared enough for it anyway.
And this is like such a hard song.
But I did ask for Bohemian Rhapsody and Rachel Peterson did deliver.
And so I want to respect her wishes.
Rach Pete.
And put this on here.
And so I'm going to probably go really high at certain points,
really low at certain points, peaks in the valleys and everything in between and just have grace and
just know that I'm trying. Okay. I think that you're going to be fine. People are going to
love it either way. This is such a, I remember one time asking a guy who was, I was in Los Angeles,
was in orange County and I was at a dueling piano bar. Like bar. And this guy,
both these guys were so talented.
It was amazing.
I loved talking to them afterwards
and I said,
what's the only song you don't like doing?
And he said,
Bohemian Rhapsody
because it's so difficult.
Really?
So have fun, Brad.
Yeah, and there's like,
you know,
there's different tracks at certain points
so I'm going to try to do all of them
and it's just going to be awesome,
I'm sure.
Okay.
So here we go.
Is this the real life?
Is this just deja vu?
