And I've noticed a lot of people when they're celebrating other people's birthdays lately, they will say, happy birthday at Triplet Jake. You are so easy to celebrate.

them with gifts and words of affection, they receive it. It's very easy to celebrate you.

let's do it let's make it worth it yeah especially because this will actually be more permanent like
it's like every other place so we think yeah well then again who knows yeah no it's gonna be great
my dad was asking me that.
He's just like, he'll go one way or the other.
He'll go one week.
It's just like, you know, hey, if you end up single the rest of your life, nothing wrong
with that.
You know?
And then the next week, you know, I'm like, yeah, I bought a house, you know, five bedrooms
going to try to, you know, have four roommates who can help pay the mortgage.
He's like, you know, well, are you, are you nervous?
I mean, what if you settle down really quickly?
I mean, what if you find a wife soon?
Can you afford, can you afford this mortgage? If you have a, you know, a woman in your life, I mean, what if you settle down really quickly? I mean, what if you find a wife soon? Can you afford this mortgage if you have a woman in your life?
Like we jumped a few steps there. I'm not too... Yeah, yeah, yeah. One way or the other.
I haven't thought about that yet, but he's like, yeah, now six months from now,
let's say you're married. Can you afford the mortgage?
Six months. He knows the timeline.
I'm like, I don't know. There's going to be plywood in the basement. So
if the cost of that keeps getting higher, yeah, I can resell the plywood.
Yeah. If anything, we'll hire some of it out. Yeah. Let Isaac still live there. Like Isaac's like your son
in some ways. It's like this weird relationship we have with Isaac where he's like our brother
and our best friend and our son all at the same time. But he doesn't know any of the 90s music
that we know. Yeah. Like, like I am a lot older than Isaac, but it doesn't feel like it. I mean,
that was so funny last week. Like, Hey, help your dad over there. You're like, Oh, my friend, Isaac. Okay. Okay. He's got more facial hair than I do,
but whatever. Oh man, that was good times. Uh, I have a fun story for you to start out the day.
Let's get it started. Uh, McLean McLean's Mondays went, went there the other day. It's,
if you just have like the mindset to go just be productive at a coffee shop, there's nothing
better than leaving a coffee shop a little bit high on caffeine and smelling
like it and smelling like caffeine and just be like, I got a lot done today while listening
to Amos Lee and you know, whoever else, Ben Harper.
Um, and so, yeah, the other day I was there and you know, always do my classic Eves dropping
on other people.
Sure.
Uh, hard not to people watch every once in a while.
There were these two men, um, we'll call them 40 some year old men, maybe 50. always do my classic eavesdropping on other people. Sure. Uh, hard not to people watch every once in a while.
There were these two men,
um,
we'll call them 40 some year old men,
maybe 50,
um,
businessmen doing like a little business meeting.
What are their names?
Probably one of them's name is Mark.
I'll tell you that right now.
I don't know the other guy.
I didn't meet him,
but I met Mark and, uh,
Mark and McGuire.
Yes.
Those are their names.
And that's why they work so well together.
Okay.
Big max.
And, uh, and they were exposed, like they they work so well together okay big max and uh
and they were explosive like they were just so strong together like a little bit artificially
strong sure i mean yeah uh but they never put a cork in their bat they won't go that far no
there was one time they said put a cork in it and i was they're like whoa no we shouldn't do that
we shouldn't do that that's that's for sammy and sozo other table we hate those guys um so anyway
you know did the classic like local coffee shop guy. Like
they're like, Oh, what's the wifi password they're struggling with. I was like, it's McLean's 1945
one C on McLean's. Thank you so much. So, you know, we had a little banter there and then,
you know, back to work. And then this guy leans over to me and he goes, so are you in sales?
And I was like, uh, not exact. I mean, I own my own business, so I do everything. He's like,
Oh, very cool. So we talked about that for a while. I said, what do you do? He's like,
I'm in sales. And I was like, Oh, very cool. What, what kind of stuff? He's like food.
And I was like, Oh really? Okay. He's like, yeah, I work for Cisco. And I go, Oh yeah. I say,
I know, I know a guy, like one of my, one of my friend's dads, he used to work for Cisco and now
he's, you know, he's, I forget the name of his company, whatever. But, you know, he's on the phone.
He said Sunday's like a big day for him, whatever.
And this guy goes, well, just out of curiosity, who's this guy?
And I go, Steve Triplett.
He goes, oh, I know Steve.
No way.
Yeah.
Mark McGuire knew it.
Mark Daniels.
Mark Daniels.
He goes, yeah, I trained Steve 30 years ago at Cisco.
Trained him.
Trained him.
He ran a train on my dad.
He just ran right over him.
Steamrolled him.
Trained Steve. Trained him. He ran a train on my dad. He just ran right over him. Steam rolled him. Trained Steve 30 years ago.
Like that whole sentence, like didn't like kind of flew over my head at first.
I was like, great, whatever.
But then I thought to myself, like, we know Steve Triplett now at 30 years after he's
had this boy, this luscious boy.
I don't even beautiful girl.
I think Mark might have the timeline a little off here.
My dad's not that old.
Really?
And he didn't start working. I mean, maybe it wasn't the whole 30 years, I guess. Yeah. Mark the timeline a little off here. My dad's not that old. Really? And he didn't start working.
I mean, maybe it wasn't the whole 30 years, I guess.
Yeah.
Mark might be a little off, but still long time ago.
He trained my dad.
A long time.
I just like, I just like the idea of like Steve being this young whippersnapper.
Mark Daniels.
Because like Daniels.
Daniels.
But I had my, so I, of course I was like, well, I'm going to text Steve right now and
see if he remembers.
Oh, let's go.
And so I say, Hey, do you know Mark Daniels?
I love Mark Daniels.
And I said, you're just saying that because I'm sitting next to a coffee shop.
He's like, no, really?
This guy is amazing.
He trained me.
Yeah.
He was awesome.
And he'll never forget your name.
And I didn't want to test that theory.
I didn't even tell him.
But that's a good salesman, right?
Yeah, exactly.
He was, he was a great guy, but yeah, I just love the thought of like, yeah, that's, that's old Steve, you know, like just, just a
different guy completely, you know, like, cause I was like, yeah, I'm best friends with his son.
And this guy's probably thinking like, Holy cow, how old's his son? You know, it's just,
it's just fun to think about. And so, so out of all the people, like I didn't get recognized this
week. Uh, well, that's not true. I got recognized at your show. Um, but like, you know, I didn't
get recognized at a, in public, you know, out your show um but like oh yeah i didn't get recognized at a in public you know out besides that but you know katherine didn't get recognized
but i'll tell you got recognized as steve tripling that was the other thing steve your dad was like
how in the world did you figure out that he knew me just over you know the one he was dropping you
know the classic you know coffee shop banter wi-fi password my friend's dad works in food sales
stuff like that so it is fun to think
about that. It's a special time in your life, like fresh out of college. Yeah. Where are you
at in life? And then to look back 30 years from then and be like, yeah, no, Peter and I were
roommates. Right. Like, no, Brad and I were next door neighbors. Right. Right. I live next door to
Brad and Catherine. Yeah. Jake Triplett. Yeah. I lived in that house. You know, I was roommates
with Luke Crenshaw. Yeah. The attorney general the attorney general yeah yeah the offensive line coach for arkansas luke crenshaw wow yeah yeah we were roommates
yeah he's peter casey yeah the one that's on shark tank yeah that guy you know gutter duckworth
yeah what's gutter gutter is a pro wakeboarder pro wakeboarder first guy to make a million
dollars by collecting pennies one at a time yeah yeah that's my friend all together yeah and his house caved in because it was too heavy because of the pennies yeah yeah
harrison pollard yeah i used to live with that guy um first guy to e-bike around the entire world
you like that yeah have we talked about the e-bike i don't think so let's let's let's uh
let's diverge it divulge it to the e-bike real quick so go ahead and tell the e-bike story oh uh isaac and i were somewhere
out of town to get no harrison's out of town isaac and i were together in town and harrison texas
hey just fyi uh if you're home today i'm gonna need you to sign for something i got a pretty
big package coming like oh sweet what's that he like, I bought an electric bike. We're like, really?
He's like, yeah.
And this was late September, maybe.
Yeah, probably like a month or so ago.
And so I was already giving him a hard time,
like right in time for winter.
That's smart.
That's good.
Get an electric outdoor bike.
But to top it off,
to add a little more context
to what is so funny,
is Harrison has not had like a working car
in like eight months.
Yeah.
Pretty much the whole time he's lived here.
Yeah.
Which is feel bad for the guy.
Like he moved here in like March of 2020.
So he took him forever to actually see anything of Kansas city.
And then he's had some other things go down.
And then on top of that,
then his car stops working.
And it was just shocking to us.
I think like we'd never heard Harrison talk about an electric bike before.
I didn't know this is something he wanted.
For all I know he was saving up for a car.
Yeah.
Cars aren't that expensive. They're, they're probably like two e-bikes worth of money like you could easily buy a 1999 accord yeah for an e-bike it was just funny
that like oh he wasn't kidding like there is an e-bike in our on our porch right now he's got it
yeah and it's pretty he let me ride it it's pretty sweet i mean it's no car but it's pretty, he let me ride it. It's pretty sweet. I mean, it's no car, but it's pretty sweet.
And he does have the sidewalks and he has a car too.
He went Carvana, Carvana.
I'll say Carvana.
And he has a car and an e-bike.
He's a two transportation boy now.
Yeah.
And he saw the old car still on the street.
So he's got three cars now.
My favorite part about that car being on the street is that it's like a little bit awkwardly far away from the curb.
Have you ever noticed that? It's like, oh yeah. Like, like a normal spot on the curb, you know,
six, eight inches or so, like pretty close to the curb. This one's a good two feet away,
two feet out. Yeah. Which I don't know if when he parked there, he knew it would be sitting there
for eight months. Give him a bit of it out there. I don't know if he knew like this is the last time
I'd ever parked this, but yeah, Harrison, big e-bike guy. First guy to circumnavigate the world
on an e-bike. Yeah. Yeah. That was my roommate. E-bike. Yeah, I used to do. I used to work out with him.
Black Fridays.
That's right.
In the Instant Pot.
Instant Pot.
Yeah.
So anyway, Steve Triplett, guest celebrity on the pod this week.
That is a fun.
That's a fun story.
I was excited about it.
He texted me actually today and said, did you meet anybody that knew me today?
He said, no, just your son.
That's funny, dude. How was it? Uh,
Thursday night for you? Yes. Specifically like taking pictures, getting recognized.
Cause I had people text me like, yo, Brad is crushing it up there. Oh really? People texted me that. Oh yeah. I don't, I, I wouldn't say I crushed it by any means, but there, it was,
it was fun. I probably, I don't know how many people I met. I, at the end of the night,
I was like, I probably took like seven pictures and Catherine goes, no, I don't know how many I
took. I mean, it was a decent amount of people for sure. I, it was weird. Like I did end up
sitting in the front row. Yeah. You texted me, which I thought was so funny. I was like,
where are you sitting? I got denied the first people I asked, we walked down to our seats
and as we were walking down, I stopped my strategy, which I look back on now and I think I would do it differently. But my strategy at the time was
I'm going to find somebody that's like a huge fan, super fan on like the fifth row and just say,
Hey, do you want to switch me? Like you're on the aisle. I'm on the aisle. Let's switch. Yeah. Uh,
and I went up to that person. It was an older woman and she seemed a little taken aback by the
whole thing. Like maybe I was scamming her, which I don't know how I could have done that. But I was like, do you want to switch me? And
she's like, ah, no, the first row seems a little too close. That might hurt my neck.
I'm like, we're not at a movie, but, but to her credit, like the, like the front fence or
whatever you want to call it. There was a barrier. Yeah. There was like a bar there. Like, cause I
think a lot of concerts are there. I thought about doing some jokes on the barrier. Yeah.
So there's not always a barrier?
It's only the second time I've ever seen a barrier.
Okay.
I thought about doing something like,
do you guys think Trey Songz was performing tonight?
I was like, I don't think that's funny enough.
Yeah, that might have been a little too niche.
Yeah, that's not great.
But yeah, it was probably like a four foot tall barrier.
Big time.
And so, yeah, that lady had a point.
And then after getting denied, I was like,
I don't want to do this anymore.
But I should have asked somebody like 15 rows back, you know, you would have found somebody.
Yeah.
I think somebody then would have said yes, but yeah, I went back, went to the front row
and Catherine immediately had to go to the bathroom.
And so I was just like standing there and luckily I saw Rachel Flickinger, um, Iowa,
Rachel, she went to the basketball game, um, you know, a while back.
And so I recognized her.
She said hi to me. So I went and talked to her and her friend. I'm sorry. I don't remember your
name, but he's microphone shirt girls. No. Oh, um, no. Rachel shirt. She have on a ghost runner
shirt. I think, I mean like, like a little bit like a ghost, like the marathon team. Uh, sorry,
Rachel. I don't remember your next shirt, but, um, anyway, I was talking to them. And then as
I was talking to them, some other girls came up to me and I'm sorry, I don't remember the names very well. Honestly, it was
hard to hear. I I'm like hard of hearing already, I think. And then I was trying to yell talking to
them cause I didn't have any voice. But one of the girls was more pumped than I've ever met.
Like anybody, like my, I don't think my mom was more excited when she had me on November 13th,
1990. Like, like this girl, like literally like screamed on your feet, like five times. Wow. Like, Oh, you know, like, Oh, your feet, your feet. And I was
like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. That's me. Uh, yeah. So we try to take some pictures
then. And then it was kind of like, then I just walked back to my seats and that was, that was
what I always felt a little bit weird of like, okay, are these people like who are these people like the people i'm walking past are like who is
this guy the guy in the audience is taking pictures yeah exactly that's weird like maybe
he's a chiefs player you're like no like look at him up and down like i don't think so ben neal
no ben neal he's not that big but um anyway yeah, the, the fun thing after the show, uh, you know, I was
walking, we were walking back up, you know, like to the, whatever, to leave.
And there was these one girls that specifically wanted to meet Catherine way more than they
wanted to meet me.
They're like, we would love to meet you, but man, we are so excited to meet Catherine.
I bet that it's got to freak Catherine out a little bit.
It is funny.
Like, she's always like, people know so much about me, but I literally know zero about them. It's a little weird. It's
a weird, it's a funny concept for sure. Uh, and I don't mind it too much. I think she's less,
less, you know, wired that way, but she's still like very social talk, talkative person, but
she doesn't know what to say. Like, I think people sometimes are just like,
entertain me, you know, whatever. And she's just like, I don't know how to do that. I've,
I've never done a podcast before. Um, but even me, I was like, there were times where I was like, entertain me, you know, whatever. And she was like, I don't know how to do that. I've, I've never done a podcast before. Um, but even me, I was like, there were times where I was
like, so do you guys enjoy the show? You know, like, I don't really know what to talk about.
Glad you guys enjoyed it. You know, like, like I had some kind of ownership in it, which I did,
you know? Um, but yeah, overall Thursday was great. Uh, we went out to dinner beforehand,
like I said, with like, you know, whatever it was, 20 people. Yeah. And I was, I was like, kind of anal about like, let's get, make sure we get there on time to dinner and like i said with like you know whatever it was 20 people yeah and i was i
was like kind of anal about like let's get make sure we get there on time to dinner and we're
gonna order right away like i was checking everyone's location that night which was cool
to see so many friends at the same restaurant and then me alongside all of my find my friends
were like all the same areas me my sister you isaac you know gunner yeah emily madison i don't
know why i have her location but i do that's fine morgan mitchell, Emily Madison. I don't know why I have her location, but I do. That's fine. Morgan Mitchell. I have her location.
I don't know why.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So we like the dinner was supposed to be five 30.
We get there at five 15 to like make sure that, which was stupid.
Chewy's was dead.
Like it wasn't like, I was like worried about like getting that big of a table or whatever.
We get there, everyone gets there, we get seated.
And right when they're taking drink orders, I'm like, can we actually just order?
So I, Catherine and I were the only people to order at this point.
Love it.
And people were like, oh, are we ordering? Like, and then like gunner prayed
for the whole table when we got our food and no one else did. But like, as we were like finishing
up and paying, everyone else was getting their food. So it was like six, 10, six 15 when people
are getting their food. And I was like, Catherine, I do not want to be that guy. I don't want to be
late. I don't like, this isn't a, you know, a concert or a sports game where you can just get late, get there late. So I appreciate that. Yeah. Uh, anyway, that was,
that was fine. And then, uh, Oh shoot. What was I going to say? I don't know. That was, that it
was, it was just a great time. I honestly, the show was awesome. I want to hear obviously your
perspective on it, but my perspective before I'll just brag on Jake real quick. Jake did amazing.
Thank you. And I think i genuinely think so
so the the opening act his name is lucas we love lucas lucas comes out and he's like yeah i'm not
trey kennedy sorry he's like how many of you guys are excited to hear trey kennedy whoa how many of
you guys are excited to hear jake triplet it was crazy everyone just went nuts like that was i got
goosebumps yeah i got so fired up backstage
to hear that. I was like, I can't believe this. It was like, let's go. I've never heard anything
like this before. That was crazy. I purposely didn't even cheer for Trey. I was like, I was
like, I want all my energy. I don't have much of a voice. I want all my energy to go towards Jake.
That's cool. It was crazy. Yeah. And so I was just pumped and the
show was awesome. I was, I was a little bit nervous for you. Kind of like, I think you said
your dad was nervous for you. I, not because I didn't have confidence in you, but because
comedy is so relative. That's like, I don't know how this is going to go for him. Like, what if,
what if he, what if people don't like him as much as I like him? You know, like what if,
cause in Phoenix it was, it was weird to me when you came out and not that many people went crazy for you.
Yeah.
I was like, well, you guys don't like, not everyone here knows Jake.
That's how it normally is.
Yeah.
Right.
Of course.
And, but, but you killed it.
And there was one point I'm not even joking.
I like almost cried out of like, like pride for you.
I was like, he's like doing it, man.
Like, I don't know what, it wasn't like the whole time I was like thinking like, I'm so proud of my friend, but then there was just what, it was the Branson joke. I
don't even know why, but like you made that joke. And like, for some reason, it was like,
but it was just like, dude, like, I don't know. I was just so pumped for you. Thanks dude. And
yeah. So tell us, tell us from your perspective, everything that went down and yeah.
Give us, give us your, your, your thoughts.
I know I'll set you up a little bit.
I know that you said you were nervous, like, like actually nervous.
At least Trey told me that Trey was like, yeah, I've never seen Jake nervous like that.
Yeah.
It's been a while.
Yeah.
I was, the fingers were a little shaky beforehand.
I noticed it.
Like I held my hand out front of me.
I was like, oh, I'm shaking.
Really?
I don't normally do this.
I think it was more of just like an anxious, just like, I'm just ready to be out there.
It's been such a long time coming
like i've been waiting to perform for my friends for two years now yeah you know i'm just ready
i know they're all out there right i have so many people that i want to just like do my best in
front of i just want to do it i just want tip off to be here i get the same way for basketball games
um and then once you're out there all the nerves go away but so yeah i was a little nervous but
it was just so fun i mean it had to have been a top three top five moment of my life like night
of my life i don't know what else is in that top five but just like what how could it be better
than that right i haven't been married yet so you know that's not in there yeah you don't have to
like have controversial like top top three moments it's like whoa dude you have two kids and a wife
like come on easy all right sorry the basketball game was top five moments of my life i'm just
gonna say ku and mario traumers that's a big that was a huge shot memphis was up by a lot of points
with not very much time left derrick rose really blew it yeah that's funny but anyway yeah it was
just a great night it was then i got started off with goosebumps like you said it's like and who's
this guy to reject triplet which is normally like a two out of ten response even to the point where
like lucas you don't have to say that that's what I was thinking like
don't make it sound weird yeah it's like you don't need to do that but at Kansas City it was very
very cool to hear that so uh just a great night um I got emotional at like the standing ovation
at the end knowing like how many friends like I could see you I could see other friends out there
when that show was over just like this is just cool like these people are like happy and proud
of us and I am just like thankful to be here I'm just's like, this is just cool. Like these people are like happy and proud of us.
And I am just like thankful to be here.
I'm just so overwhelmingly thankful.
This is just cool.
This is crazy.
So I also did not stand up until you came out.
Thank you.
I looked around.
People were standing.
It's very hard not to stay
when other people are standing for ovations.
I was like, I'm not doing it yet.
I'm not doing it.
I'm not doing it.
There's Lucas not doing it for Lucas.
Jake! Yeah! That was great too. I could, there was one time I was like, I'm not doing it yet. Staying strong. I'm not doing it. I'm not doing it. There's Lucas, not doing it for Lucas.
Jake!
Yeah!
That was great, too.
I could, there was one time I was like, I'm pretty sure.
So the whole time I'm doing my set, I do not look at Brad.
Brad texts me a picture of where he's at.
Like, I don't want to look at him.
I don't want to get thrown off by him.
So I would always just glance over Brad.
But there was one time during the improv song, towards the end, I heard you say something like, bring it home, Jake, or something like come on jake i was like i appreciate those brad i was trying not to yeah not to be like
it's not my show so i'm not gonna like yeah try to dictate anything too much but there were a few
times where i'm like yeah yeah yeah stuff like that so i heard you it was so funny and you were
in the front row sitting next to a guy i graduated high school with that i have not seen since the
night we graduated high school yeah i've not seen not seen him. Yeah. He came up to me before. Remind
me his name? Devin Jones. Sorry. I don't remember people's names very well right now. It's all right.
Your, your voice was hoarse. That's right. Uh, Devin Jones was like, Hey man, I love your videos.
I actually went to high school with Jake. I was like, tell me everything. Uh, but it was just
crazy. Like, like I've met plenty of people that went to SBU with you. Never met a, never met a
straffer guy before. That was the first
time. And so it was kind of fun to be like, wow, did it check out? Sure. I mean, yeah, sure. I
don't know exactly what you mean by that, but he was way different than you. Like, it seemed like,
I was like, you're friends with Jake. He's more someone from Stratford. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
You got out and went to Hollywood for a little while, you know, got your haircut and everything,
but yeah, it was, it was awesome. Like there were a few times, like I felt like we were friends by the end of the night. He was like, he like
hit me every once in a while. Dude, this is pretty funny. Like, or like trying to like add,
you know, like sometimes you make it, somebody makes a joke and he's like, yeah, that's exactly
what it's like with a wife. Right. Right. Yeah. Yeah. Whatever. So, uh, yeah, that was great too.
It was fun. It was just such a solid day. I think we talked about last week on the podcast,
but Trey and I shot two videos that day.
That was a jam-packed day.
Then I did the show.
Then just hung out with all of my best friends
in the world afterwards,
which that meant so much to me too.
It was just fun for us all to be together.
Yeah, it was.
My sister was there.
Yeah.
Just everybody was there.
Yeah.
And then got done,
went back on the bus at one
and then started to edit a video for Trey that night.
It was just like such a long day,
but I was so fired up on adrenaline. It didn matter she was having a great day um can we tell
the story about uh lindsey porter and uh the other spectator remember this um uh oh that story i was
like no probably not yeah yeah with isaac i don't know what other way you're talking about but yeah
this one yeah with isaac i think it would yeah whatever uh okay so first of all lindsey who is marrying jake someday yeah yeah uh that's the one lindsey
we're talking about lindsey also the one in the jean shorts video first dates with jake when i
wear the hospital gown shirt yes infamously uh lindsey went with isaac like which was funny
because lindsey's like 28 and isaac's 20 uh it's so funny it's like yeah isaac's like 28 and Isaac's 20. It's so funny. It's like, yeah, Isaac's like had an extra ticket taking Lindsay.
And everyone's like, Isaac.
Yeah.
Okay.
Isaac.
Yeah.
Like came to dinner with them.
Like, oh, they're like, Hey, Isaac.
Everyone's giving Isaac the benefit of the doubt.
Yeah.
You've always kind of had a thing for like hot 28 year olds.
Yeah.
That's kind of, you've always dated them.
You've always said, I want to date my babysitter someday.
So he's there.
They go with your sister and her boyfriend to their seats
because they all got tickets from Trey or whatever.
And they had orchestra seats.
So they're like, oh, that must be up top, balcony, whatever.
So they're up there in their seats.
And the show starts.
You're doing your thing.
And apparently there's some girls behind them just talking very loudly,
not respecting you at all.
And apparently Lindsay just wasn't having a 180 whatsoever.
Yeah.
Turned straight around.
And Isaac said it was the rudest he's ever heard in his life.
I tried to have him reenact it.
It wasn't it didn't sound that rude to me, but it was just like a very.
And apparently the girl behind her goes, oh, really?
Oh, really?
And Lindsay goes, yes, really?
We know him.
This is his roommate and his sister.
Okay.
Yeah.
Like, and I think they kind of respected him, but the funniest part about it was their orchestra
tickets.
Orchestra is like the main level.
Bottom level.
And so halfway through Jake's set, these people come up and they're like, I think you're in
our seats.
And so Lindsay has to stand up and go down and like miss part of Jake's set.
A completely different section.
Yeah.
But that's a good frame right there.
So it'll come to bat for you in the balcony.
Yeah, it was awesome.
Not afraid to be like, this is a huge moment for him.
You shush up now.
Yeah, shut up and listen and laugh.
So Isaac said he was like, glad she shushed.
Like it needed to happen.
He's like, I would never in a million years shush strangers.
And Lindsay just in five seconds just went for it. Why you know yeah it was great go for it lindsey
so yeah the whole thing was awesome i'm sure your perspective of it was yeah just amazing it was
just fun it was just cool to to feel like i had my friends support and like something that meant
a lot to me anyway yeah it was nice we had a tunnel for you at the end that was cool jake was
taking pictures and then we were all kind of waiting for him.
It was awesome.
There was an actual tunnel of just like 25 friends.
And it was just, it was overwhelming.
I got through the tunnel and I was just looking around.
I was like, I know you.
I knew.
Yeah.
I know everyone in here.
This is awesome.
I know all you guys.
This is so cool.
Yeah.
People like ghost owners, people were like, we're missing our meet and greet with Trey
to talk to you guys, but it's worth it.
I was like, oh yeah.
Oh yeah.
This is my wife. Yeah. yeah it was it was fun like some like a couple like really big
ghosties were like i was like you know like this is everyone from the podcast right here basically
like that's gunner that's peter that's isaac that's harrison that's isaac's parents yeah that's
harrison like you know whatever like all these different people right there in the room yeah
pointing them all out it was fun that's pickleball Rachel, you know.
Topgolf Rachel.
Or yeah,
I guess both.
Yeah,
what are we calling,
we're calling topgolf TGR?
TGR.
Anyway.
What's that?
Ah,
ah,
T-J-R,
T-J-R,
ah,
T-G,
oh yeah.
What is that?
S-A-T-U-R-D-A-Y,
night.
S-A-T-U-R-D-A-Y,
night. I got so off.
I thought it was the same three letters.
Anyway,
fun night. The guy that I tried to do crowd thought it was the same three letters. Anyway, fun night.
The guy that I tried to do crowd work with is the worst guy I've ever interacted with ever on stage.
Really?
So.
And honestly, I think you did just fine with it.
If that's the worst you ever interacted with.
Yeah, I think it turned out fine.
I kind of just had to make fun of him, which is not normally what I would like to do.
He kind of looked familiar to me, but I didn't.
I don't know why.
He just wouldn't.
Nothing that crazy happened.
I would just ask him questions. It wasn't just like he was giving me bad answers he would give me
no answer yeah and i would kind of like i would say a couple funny things i was like all right
kyle i stalled for you what do you got for me right you say i still don't know like really
that's got nothing this guy can't get 17 years he'd been married and you're like what's the
secret and he's like i don't know and you were like you're like saying some stuff blah blah he's like you're like okay did i stall enough like
all right now what do you got i don't know you say anything man yeah i was like kyle you're
gonna be a lot to work with this is fun i think i think i enjoy it i think the audience enjoys it
this is good for both of us he was a dermatologist he's a dermatologist made some funny jokes about
that like i think you brought it back to that i did i think speaking of you know speaking of skin
yeah something like that yeah because you were talking about something.
Yeah.
PDA or I don't know what you said.
But then Stacey, the one we pulled up on stage, she made up for everything that Kyle lacked.
Oh, that was great.
She had like restless leg syndrome or something.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Tell me.
Rank her on the scale of like best to worst.
I didn't know if you guys were hating it or loving it.
No, it's what makes it memorable.
There were moments where I was like, she is going to like sexually assault one of us.
But for the most part, I was like, this is fun. Everyone's everyone's loving her she's loving it she's giving us stuff to work with but she was just like i she's just pretty drunk i
think she was just like having a super fun time and it was like we were in her living room she
just felt so at home yeah just like i'm gonna turn around like jake is singing to me i'm gonna
turn around and have a personal conversation with trey like i'm in the middle of singing i'm like
stacy turn around that was great that was that was the funniest part is when
you say stop and look at me and you just you just like it's like eye contact you got like on her
like like facial level and just started singing directly to her again that was my favorite part
maybe of the whole night dude yeah yeah anyway it was a good show so fun just super a great night
just for comedy it was just like a loud auditorium.
It was fun.
It was packed.
And then the next night was very interesting.
It was almost the opposite.
Memphis was, it was in Graceland,
which is like a very touristy spot of Memphis where like people from Memphis don't-
I think, yeah, technically it is.
I've been to Graceland, like the house.
Yeah.
It's like its own place, like its own-
Yes, I think it's like a suburb.
I think.
I'm still trying to figure it out.
But anyway, I think it's just like a weird part of town.
Like almost all these venues we do are like downtown.
There's bars nearby.
There's stuff to do.
This is like, okay, you're going all the way to Graceland.
You're not doing anything else the rest of the night.
Okay.
So it was like our lowest selling venue of anything.
So it's just like a lot.
Now I will say that it was kind of unique.
Like they only, it was like a conference center.
So it was like, they only put out enough chairs for everyone.
So it didn't feel half full.
Okay.
But it was half full. That makes sense. So just like a lot quieter. So it was like they only put out enough chairs for everyone. So it didn't feel half full. Okay. But it was half full, if that makes sense.
So just like a lot quieter than what we were used to.
A conference center.
So it was like a manufactured stage.
Like it wasn't always there.
It could be moved away.
Correct.
But the audio visual was impressive.
Two huge screen side stage that like displayed us,
like had us video like live streamed the whole time.
Yeah.
It was like I was performing at Arrowhead Stadium stadium it's like you're giving a keynote speech yeah
yeah it's like a ted talk yeah i don't i think everyone could see me pretty okay okay but that
made it special uh but the interesting thing about memphis was maybe it was just quieter but i feel
like even once the there was a new standard okay there's gonna be a little quieter show that's fine
i wish what had happened in memphis had happened in kansas city because i was doing
so much fun stuff with the crowd no love from the memphis memphis and knights like what
memphonians is memphonians um the uh just having a lot of fun with like this husband and wife in
the front row he said he's retired i said well how did you get your money how are you in the
front row he points to his wife i was like oh you got yourself a sugar mama like what does she do
for a living and she says fedex i was like are you the president you know and then i'm like i'm
yelling off stage i'm telling trey i'm quitting i'm going to fedex whatever and then i bring that
back later in the show but then this is very interesting i i generally would like to know
any anyone is fair game to give me advice on what this means okay culturally i'm about a third of
the way into my set and this guy is walking third of the way through i'm about third of the way through this guy is walking very slowly to his seats which
are front and center so walking in front of everyone which you talked about it last week
where like when the microphone's cutting out it's like do i address this is this distracting enough
this is one of those things like this is distracting enough i need to address it because
he's walking so slow this guy's wearing a hat very low he's wearing like big like aviator sunglasses
he's got like a buff on.
It's like a face mask and black hair, about 18 inches long.
So this looks like interesting.
He's a unique looking character.
Okay.
And he go.
Does he look like a rock star?
Yes.
Kind of a little bit.
Okay.
So first I said like, nice of you to join us.
Thank you for coming.
You know, just like an easy joke.
Everyone's like, ah, whatever.
And I was like, I had no idea Howard Stern was going to be here tonight.
He was like the first person I could think of that matched that identity.
Fun fact, I think I saw Howard Stern one time in Memphis.
Oh.
Yeah, genuinely.
Maybe it was. He definitely seemed like a guy who wanted to hide his identity.
He looked like he was getting on a tour bus though when I saw him. I don't think he lives there, but
also not positive it was Howard Stern.
Don't know who it was. Okay. So I'm not kidding. As soon as I say the Howard Stern line, it was like we had it choreographed.
And this is all part of it.
He pulls out of it very quickly.
He reaches into his pocket and lunges his arm at me.
It's like, what is about to go down?
He throws four guitar picks at me on stage.
And it was I can't even emphasize enough how quickly this happened.
Nice of Howard Stern to join us.
Boom.
Guitar picks are at my feet.
I don't know what they were for.
I thought he threw dice at me. I thought he threw dice at me.
I thought he threw food at me.
I was like, what is this?
What?
I look and I'm like, OK,
if you guys can't see,
Howard Stern just threw
four guitar picks at me.
I don't know what that means.
Like, is that a Memphis thing?
Like, do you accept me now?
It's just like, welcome.
Yeah.
Welcome to Memphis.
Here's four guitar picks.
You sprinkle rendezvous ribs
and guitar picks
from Johnny Cash's Sun Studios. Yeah, I just had like a Memphis communion right now. You've been blessed. You may carry on. were in you sprinkle rendezvous ribs and guitar picks from johnny cash's sun studios yeah i just
had like a memphis communion right now you've been blessed you may carry on bb king blesses you
be off um so that was interesting so i tried to make jokes about that kind of like what i was
saying now or it's like this feels like a weird word problem like a guy with his hair is 18 inches
he's 10 minutes late yeah throws four guitar picks at you he has two lenses and his aviator glasses what how many feet away is he allowed to a playground i didn't say that was it slash from
guns and roses that was the name i was trying to think of because that's who he looked like too
and i was like oh memphis used to be good but i couldn't think of it i was like stash no it's not
stash it's splash what is his name i doubt it's i'm gonna say howard's anyway so that was just
like a very unique thing that i didn't really say anything that funny about.
I was just very thrown off.
I'm like, no one is really laughing.
I think no one knows what to think about this.
Anyway, about two thirds of the way through my set,
and I'm talking about this time where I went to Las Vegas.
And I'm like, you know, the first time I'm going to Las Vegas,
it was very eye-opening to me.
I had no idea what was happening.
The women there were throwing a lot of things at me,
and it was a lot more than guitar picks.
So silent. So silent.
So silent.
I was like, I made that up
from the guitar pick thing earlier.
Yeah.
Is this thing on?
Can you guys hear me?
Maybe because he threw the guitar picks at you so quickly,
they thought it was all planned.
But even then.
Then I was just like, okay,
I think Kansas City would have appreciated this.
I just made this up, but all right.
So there was just a few of those moments. I was like, okay, that's Kansas City would have appreciated this. I just made this up, but all right. So there was just a few of those moments.
I was like, okay, that's fine.
We're going to power through.
I think you guys don't know that I'm improvising this.
I don't know how to make it more obvious.
Oh man, if you were at the Memphis show, please, if you know who that guy was, let us know.
And just let me know what that means.
Four guitar picks instantly at my feet while performing comedy.
Oh, it was four?
I thought it was three.
It was four.
Oh, never mind. I had a theory, but I'm just kidding. Oh, never mind. Never mind. Never mind. instantly at my feet while performing comedy oh it's four i thought it was three it was four oh
i had a theory but i was kidding oh never mind never mind never mind four what kind of picks
were they i couldn't tell they have turtles on them dunlop could have been dunlop yeah i like
dunlop dunlops are nice uh so yeah that was special and then um what a weird the first
time anybody's ever thrown anything on stage for you yep
yeah
you always think
it's gonna be
a woman's bra
not Howard Stern's
guitar pick
not guns
not roses
but yeah
guitar pick
from Guns and Roses
yeah from Splash
after that show

Can't wait.
I don't know if it's fear the ochre cool, but.
Anyway, Memphis is cool.
Memphis was fun.
And then lastly was the Springfield show, which is very cool.
Kind of equally similar to Kansas City was like a little nervous.
My family's here.
My grandparents are here.
All four were able to come.
A lot of good friends from college.
They are friends from high school there. So it so it's just fun uh fun interaction with the crowd
that night i'm talking to guy brian and i say brian uh what do you say oh the key to marriage
and he said uh just having more kids something like that i was like okay nice so i crack a couple
jokes about that and then i was like you know what should i ask yeah yeah i should ask i
should ask okay brian i gotta ask like how many kids do you have sets it up like i'm so glad i
asked because i'm like you say it's the key to marriage how many kids do you have one one brian
that's not good you seem like you're yeah you're not because was he young uh he was bald
you tell me eli mcdonald yeah he's young anyway so that was
just like another one's instance like this is a walking punch line i don't have to say anything
this is just so funny this worked out great for me the key to marriage and you're doing very slowly
i even threw out i was throwing out the transit of property i was like brian i don't know if
you're familiar with transit property but it's not looking good for you as far as your marriage goes. A plus B, not equal C. Yeah.
Oh yeah.
Brian, that's, that's, I don't know.
Like ask me another question really quickly and I want to see if I can answer it.
Cause that's kind of a hard question.
I think people get put on the spot and they just say anything.
Like ask me something similar.
Okay.
Brad, what was the best moment dating Catherine?
That's tough.
Yeah.
Uh, best moment dating Catherine was when we tough. Yeah. Uh, best moment dating Catherine was
when we went on a slip and slide. Oh, on a date. Okay. If you know what I mean? Yeah. Uh, yeah.
I don't know if that's really the right answer, but that was the one I could think of.
Yeah. That's kind of hard. Yeah, no, I get it. And I think I, I, it's somewhat purposeful. I
don't want them to have an easy question where they know the answer.
I want them to say something like,
I shouldn't have said that.
Like, Jake, what is the key to being a comedian?
Oh, likability.
Boom.
Give me something hard to sell.
You sell those two printers already, Dwight?
Child's play.
Jake, what is the key to being a good comedian?
Oh, being funnier than the guy before you.
There you go. I don't know. Yeah, that's not a good answer. It, being funnier than the guy before you. There you go.
I don't know.
Yeah, that's not a good answer.
It's hard.
It is tough.
OK, but Springfield.
Yeah, I'll wrap it up.
Basically, it was just cool.
It's a cool moment for me.
Just extra sentimental.
My grandparents were able to see me.
So I'm already thankful
that I have all four
grandparents alive.
I'm glad they were able to see this
before they pass away.
This really cool moment in my life.
So it was fun.
Afterwards, my grandma,
sweet grandma goes,
Jake, when did you get singing lessons i was like when am i going to or when did i she goes no you were so good up there and i was like trey or no you at the end when he
doesn't realize which one's which and i was like oh thank you that's too good it was sweet it was
it's just like it's kind of beautiful her eyes, like she's so jaded.
She's like, Jake is the best.
Anything he does is amazing.
Right.
He can sing great.
Like you are just incredible up there.
You, no wonder your initials are JT.
That's right.
Justin Timberlake up there.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Like I, I, I feel that way sometimes I'll like, you know, somebody will perform a song
at church and it was, it was fine.
Like you did, you did throw any guitar picks at him, but you should, somebody will perform a song at church. And it was, it was fine. Like you did, you did. I didn't throw any guitar picks at him.
And, but you should, yeah. Some of the old people come up like, wow, that was incredible. You know,
my, my grandma being one of them, like just, which I appreciate that about, maybe that's what
happens when you get older is you just, you appreciate maybe, yeah, maybe it's lower or
maybe you just appreciate things more, which I guess maybe is because you have a lower bar,
but like you just appreciate the fact that your grandson's singing no matter what it sounds like he's up there singing he's
doing it yeah you are more confident up there it seems like singing yeah i think there's almost
like a the key to singing bad i know you're wondering is if you if part of the shtick is
singing poorly then you don't even have to think about how you sound it's just like what is something that rhymes with this what is something wrong with this and
you're like oh yeah oh people are laughing because i'm singing bad oh right right right i forgot
about that i'm just singing normally right it's nice to not have to worry about hitting a certain
note oh your first two notes catherine sorry busting up laughing yeah yeah i tried to make
the first two a little like tracy tracy or whatever her name was. It was great,
man.
So,
um,
only the things about that show were the ushers afterwards.
Don't like them.
Very good.
You guys can know the stereotype,
but no,
I mean like trying to kick out my family,
trying to kick out my friends and people I have not seen since high school.
Like,
Hey,
we got to go.
We got to go.
Like what is so important?
And I,
I don't know how much pull I have here,
but I'm just like, like, Hey, is it okay if they stay i haven't seen them in 10 years they came to
my show like but i'm not trying to be rude i'm just trying to generally like maybe they don't
understand the situation like these people want to see me i want to see them you're not doing me
a favor if you think you're doing me a favor no i want to see these people right i said they're
saying they kept oh it was it was very frustrating actually and like well i don't know about all
these venues but like the one in kansas like that hosts concerts all the time i think nelly was literally
the either the day after no way yeah i didn't know that no seriously and so like concerts are
way longer than whatever you guys do two hours there's no setup there's no tear down there's
no production value we have do we do nothing like don't act like yeah it's 10 30 like my my crew has
to get home they're used to getting home by 10 45
guys come on let's get out of here all of nelly's it's like there's no way yeah compared to the yeah
the whatever the nelly's show the next day so so it's a little frustrating but it was cool because
i was kind of sharing this with the people afterwards and tom two managers for tom was like
dude i didn't know that was happening next time if that ever happens you give me a call i'll take
care of it i was like dude thanks tom that's awesome that's cool that's what you're here for i want him to take care i want to
see what taking care of it looks like just tom against the ushers yeah just i think fist out
is helicoptering it's physical combat bring it on yeah playing uh what's it called uh oh what's the
game where you you lock arms and then red rover red rover he's playing red rover against solo
rover red rover red like i just imagine imagine him having a Northeaster accent.
I know he probably does.
Red Rover, Red Rover.
Send Clarence right over.
Come on over here, Asha Clarence.
One at a time.

No.
I'll take a strawberry lemonade.
Please.
Good.
Easy ice?
He knows.
Does he?
Hopefully he knows. He knows. We'll knows he knows he knows um oh one last thing
this is a unique thing not about the show but about the pre-bathroom pre-show bathroom break
i flushed the toilet and i start to notice um it's going down we're good toilet is flushing
okay good we cleared it toilet is flushing toilet is still flushing i sat on the toilet like i'd say 10
seconds go by like this is a long time when is this when is it going to stop flushing pretty
good power like i'm in the splash zone and we're getting some spranks upwards sure i mean 20 seconds
go by at this point i'm like i'm looking around as if i'm gonna macgyver my way out of the situation
like hmm what do i have nearby like obviously none of this is gonna like none of this is helpful
i keep looking around um it keeps
flushing i bet it went on for three minutes i it was a weird feeling to just i'm just stopped and
then it finally stopped i'm just sitting on the toilet just being like i do what do i do have i
broken this why didn't you you didn't stand up because you were worried it was gonna splash too
much no like it was it wasn't a sensor i had to manually flush it anyway no i know but then why
didn't you just stand up i wasn wasn't done yet. It's courtesy flush
Sorry, so I'm just sitting there like kind of waiting for it to be done so I can carry on
It was just like a weird things just beware. There are toilets out there that exist. This is Springfield
This is Springfield Springfield sketchy bad ushers bad toilets. I don't know what to think about that place, man
It was a weird sensation to be in. It's just so loud
Like I can't do anything about this.
This is funny.
I don't know what to do.
Yeah.
Yeah, I'm a guitar pick.
How has it been lately?
Have you had many of your own, like, rooms?

The boys.
It's been fun.
I haven't uploaded this
to Patreon yet

one of those like,
I don't know this is gonna
be funny to everyone else.
But before our last show
in Springfield,
we're like,

say a little something
before the show,
like offstage,
like thank you all for coming.
So excited you guys
are here tonight.
Make some noise
if you're excited.
Just like so boring,
so basic,
just like two to three sentences.
So we're trying to brainstorm
what Alan's going to say.
This was on for two or three minutes and we have not concluded what we're saying yet it's so funny how
like genuinely picky everyone's being so like this is hilarious so after two three minutes then i
start recording for a patreon video and then another five minutes go by of everyone like

alan's like i think i'd rather say make some noise at the end of the sentence like all right all right let's try this let's try this so yeah it's a pretty
boring video but it's funny just imagine like comedians backstage we cannot decide on just like
just being so meticulous it does not matter no one's even paying attention to this no one yeah

talked about that's good yeah so leanne good so just you guys are hilarious you always deliver
appreciate all the the funny words uh brad another shout out oh yeah
i got a shout out to luke hoagland of lukehoagland.com um luke hoagland just recently this
week uh made me the official uh cutting board person for uh his gifts so whenever he gives out
a home gift so if you're ever interested in getting a mortgage from lukehoagland.com
you would also be getting a gift of a l Custom Creations cutting board. I didn't know the mortgage lenders gave
gifts. I was expecting to get one from Peter, perhaps. I feel like that was pretty normal.
Didn't know. I mean, that's a LukeHoglund.com special there. Bending over backwards. That's
right. With Alice Custom Gifts. So you will get a custom cutting board. You will not actually. He
said he's going to give you something else because he doesn't think you're going to be doing too much
cutting in the kitchen. Yeah, Luke, do not give me a cutting board.
But most people, if you get something from LukeHogan.com, get a house, get a cutting board.
Get a house, throw in the cutting board.
Yeah, you'd be supporting two local businesses with that.
So shout out to Luke Hogan.
I'd like to give a shout out to two specific girls.
And by specific, I don't remember their names, but you know who you are.
They were wearing our old timey microphone merch.
They were at our basketball game.
Really sweet women. They're great. I'm so sorry I don't remember names. But oh, what do you are there weren't our old-timey microphone merch. They were at our basketball game really sweet women
They're great. I'm so sorry. Don't remember names, but oh my god, sir. My next shot out. Okay sick
They had really kind words to say afterwards and but it was like a little different than what other people said like heartfelt
Yeah, extra heartfelt, which is not different. Sorry that that's not the thing. It was just like't know i just really resonate with what she was saying i didn't basically she said which people tell us this pretty often but like
the community around ghost hunters is so cool it's so fun she was just like it's just crazy like
i am so attracted to being around other ghost hunters listeners essentially what she was saying
she's like any time there's ever an event if you do the olympiad if you do anything else another
basketball game anything you do a poetry reading and ghost hunters fans are going to be there i want to be there too it's just so fun i love wearing your
shirts out in public i love when people would come up and talk to you about it everyone is so nice
and so fun like it's crazy the community you've built i'm like i don't know if we can take credit
for that it doesn't feel like we've we've built it at least not purposefully in a certain way
right but i was like that is so cool to hear that's like i don't know it's just fun yeah among
other things it was it was very sweet yeah
she she she shared that with me too and it was like you could tell she really meant it too yeah
it was very well spoken she said it a lot better than i did but i was like dang i hope i don't
forget that yeah that's really cool yeah and it's cool yeah just to see how it goes past us man it's
it's more than us bro uh okay my next shout out is from Mrs. Fluent's class in Wilbur, Nebraska.

looking bear cat with me although we didn't know each other super well we just worked at concession
stand together one time but she was at the Springfield show and which post Springfield show was a little stressful
for the people pleaser in me. Not only were the ushers on my hiney all night, but also
I obviously want to spend this time with my family and my parents, but also there's people
who want to meet me. There's high school friends. There's like some of my best friends from college.

Didn't know it was in my bunk.
I crawl in bed, kind of throw myself in bed.

Oh, oh my gosh.
Catherine is going to die.
Hattie's going to die.
Everyone's going to love this.

You just hang on to this until Christmas.
Dude, she's going.
You have no idea, Kelsey, how much she's going to love this.
Thank you.
Wow.
OK, next from Kelsey.

what the hats are that's what the hats are from.

okay there's a shirt in here for katherine too share the extra hats with anyone you'd like i
know lime green isn't a trustworthy business color but hopefully the fact that our name is
friend offsets that and makes us trustworthy also i know you already have a dundee but i bought this
a long time ago before you had the other one. You both need one anyway.
That's right.
Hopefully, Hattie and Bo don't already have these books.
You guys are the best.
I'm going to go ahead and assume that Jake killed it at the show and say awesome job.

It just tastes right.
So just a shout out to matcha. Shout out matchaa shout out sorry currently trending matcha great yeah oh here's something sure i'll do it okay uh katherine just texted me and said
are you gonna tell uh the ghosties that i'm pregnant
we're having a baby what's up i'm gonna text her back i just did all caps um yeah guys uh
catherine is pregnant once again with a child with with child pregnant with emotion yeah i
wasn't planning on telling you this week but here we are it's that time here's a fun fact
i actually currently trending pregnancy currently trending trending Catherine's, uh, uh, fetus. Let's try to think of what's the right word here.
Yeah. Um, yeah, I, yeah. The fun thing was that I was really, Oh, this is fun. Look at,
look at Leslie Knope on the screen. This is what Catherine just sent me back.
She's so fun guys. She's so cool. She knows how to how to do gifts um so i was actually going to tell
like wait and tell jake on the podcast like like that was going to be the fun thing is that like
yeah katherine's been pregnant i i don't know how far along she is i'm sorry i think she's like
17 weeks maybe i don't know i'm terrible at that stuff i'll we're doing april 30 years ago uh we're
doing april and i was gonna i was gonna tell j, I don't know, four or five weeks ago on the podcast
like that.
We were pregnant.
And-
Give you one guess who screwed it up.
I'll give you a hint.
He just goes, nice.
We were in a bind and we needed somebody to watch our kids for like an hour when we went
to the doctor.
And so we asked Isaac and I think I told Catherine like,
Hey, just tell Isaac, like, don't tell anybody or whatever. And I don't think
she communicated super well not to tell you, but she's like, Hey, just don't like not very
many people know about or whatever. And he comes home and basically told you, right?
It was like, he said that he'd just been watching Hattie and bone. I was like, Oh,
what for? He's like, Oh, Catherine had some like doctor's appointment. I I think Brad went with her and me obviously like I'm so in the dark I do not
know anything but I made some comment I was like oh good for them like I just something like dumb
comment but I think from Isaac's perspective he's like oh Jake knows that's why he said good for
them he knows he's like or like or like oh he figured it out oh he solved it which I think I
was just like eating not paying attention oh doctors hey good for them which I think I was just like eating, not paying attention. Oh, doctors. Hey, good for them. That's fun. I was not putting it together. And then Isaac's like, so I guess,
you know, I was like, what? He's like, they're pregnant. I was like, what?
And then I felt bad. He's like, yeah, I told Jake and I was like, dude, no, no, I felt bad. Like
Jake didn't know. Like I didn't tell Jake myself. So I was like, oh, I feel bad for whatever,
you know, a third kid. It is kind of like that thing. Like, like the first one, like we did a,
not a gender reveal, but kind of like, you know, we like put a little girl's
shoe in a pinata whenever we hit it or not, you know, and all this different stuff.
And now it's just like, like with my parents, I was like, yeah, uh, Catherine hasn't been
feeling well because she's pregnant. And my mom was like, what? You're like, yeah. Also,
you got to try matcha. Yeah. But matcha, mom. I mean, come on. Anyway, yeah.
Just shout out to Catherine.
Currently trending, whatever it is we're doing.
Motherhood.
Yeah.
I'm just really excited.
We are thinking, we're considering not finding out gender.
We're thinking about it.
What a wild ride.
I know.
Because they're zany.
I know.
So we've had kids during that time of year already in both genders.
So might as well not figure out and we'll
be okay like because a lot of things like oh i don't know if it's a boy or girl and they're
going to be born in the winter and we're not going to have winter clothes for them if okay i was
about to ask why you brought the seasons into it yeah yeah so we've had a we're hoping for a
capricorn again we got a march girl may boy so no matter what they'll have clothes for the right
season i thought we're going horoscope there boy Boy or girl, she'll be a Pisces.
Thank God.
So it doesn't matter.
That's right.
That same week that Isaac spilled the beans,
my other roommate, Harrison, also spilled the beans.
I won't say about who,
because it doesn't seem like it's our place to announce that. He also spilled the beans to me.
I think he kind of enjoyed spilling the beans.
I think he likes beans.
Yeah.
He's like, wait, you know, right?
And I'm like, no.
And what's funny is he had a perfect
out with me because when the male, um, was like, I guess telling people that they were pregnant,
he also had COVID. So Harrison goes, we're talking about something else. He goes, oh,
by the way, did you hear about so-and-so? And I was like, yeah, it's crazy. And Harrison goes,
no, they're pregnant. Like you could have just said, yes. I clearly don't know if, if I'm not
like, yeah, he has COVID and they're pregnant. If I don't give you that they're pregnant like you could have just said yes i clearly don't know if if i'm not like yeah
he has covid and they're pregnant right if i don't give you that they're pregnant yeah i don't know
yeah it was so funny i got a movie or like that was like a michael scott thing right you hear
oh yeah no no it's a different thing it's okay stanley cheated on his wife it was like that
episode no no that's not the rumor yeah yeah yeah i like it i like it when uh whenever jim's like
told michael about his crush on Pam. Oh yeah.
Like the P situation P you know, P I am.
It's okay.
It's okay.
We're talking in code.
Talking in code.
Anyway.
Uh, yeah, we're pregnant guys.
So we're excited.
Um, we, I'm sure you guys are going to be excited for us and thanks in advance for your
kind words to us.
Um, yeah.
We have another, another child.
More Patreon content is what I'm hearing.
That's right, exactly.
That was not supposed to be my last Currently Trending,
so I do have one more.
Okay, go for it.
Currently Trending is about one of my children
who is outside of the womb.
His name is Bo, and he's hilarious these days.
I mean, they're all fun, but he started,
he doesn't really talk, but he's trying to say words, but he's just babbling, but he'll say like a question
and then like, just start nodding his head like this. I like that. And it is the most like,
like, it's like a sales technique. I think like, I need to start like nodding my head.
Like, it's like a physical thing of like, yeah, I want to say yes to you because he'll be like,
like, he's like, he's like, he's like,
he's like reaching out to like,
try to get something like some food or something.
He's like, bop, bop, bop.
Just nodding his head.
And it's the energy that I think we all need.
It's just a Bo Ellis nod.
More nods.
Bop, bop, bop, bop, bop.
I want people to come up to me after a show.
Hey, you did good tonight.
Yes.
Yes.
Seriously, nod that head.
Up and down, yeah.
Nod that head more. I guarantee you things are going to be better you're gonna get better reactions you're gonna get
a lower price yes on that used car you're gonna get a higher price on that table you sell seriously
okay um let's think you're a used car salesman i'm willing to buy a new haunt or use a honda
odyssey from you will you take 800 less for that no as long as we can go with $7,500. How about $800 less? Sorry, I can maybe
do $7,300. $800.
$800 less. I could talk to my
buddy. I could maybe
do $7,000. Can you do $7,000? Jake,
$800 less.
It's hard to not laugh. Right? It's hard not to
say yes. I want to give you more than $800 off. I know.
You deserve $1,000, sir. Because I'm doing such a good job.
You're so up and down naughty. Oh, man.
I need to take a video of Bo doing this.
I think that's what we call it.
It's getting naughty.
Oh, with a D two D's.
You've been a good boy or you've been naughty.
N O D D Y.
Yeah.
Oh, I've been naughty for Halloween.
Thank you for the candy.
The way he said, because for the longest time he say uh uh to everything.
And I say that on the podcast before, like that was like, his thing was like, no matter
what you asked him, he would just go uh uh.
And like, obviously he doesn't know what he's doing it's tough to and so we've i think had he or katherine taught him like nod and so now he but he doesn't
just nod like like he kind of just like has some attitude to it does it yeah it's so cute it's so
fun and uh yeah just um yeah that's one of my currently trendings i i have one more too sorry
but dude that's great just your children are already great you're having more of them yeah i can see why it's got to be fun
it's so fun dude especially we're like so far so good why would we stop yeah that's what i think
yeah let's wait until we don't like it anymore to stop and then stop yeah i mean the key to
marriage is having more yeah so blessing from the lord you know do you care one way or another like
are you leaning one way or another, boy or girl?
People have asked me that before, and I don't think so.
I really like the idea of, which obviously- Something in the middle.
Well, obviously, if we have three, if we have four or five or whatever, it's probably not
going to happen.
But I think it's kind of fun to have like one boy or one girl.
Like, it's kind of fun if like Hattie is my-
Three girls?
Hattie is my little princess, you know?
And then I have two boys.
Yeah. Like it's kind of fun if like Hattie is my little princess, you know, and like, and then I have two boys like, or, you know, Bo's my, Bo's my buddy that we, we share like boy stuff with.
And these two girls are like, that's a good thought.
I like that.
I mean, but I, I do think we're probably going to have a fourth kid probably, hopefully.
And so, um, I don't, that might not come true, but so I don't, I don't really care.
I think if Catherine had to say, I think she would want a girl.
So I guess for her sake, I'll say girl, but I it's, they're so fun no matter what.
So, um, I, I don't really care too much one way or the other.
It's getting your boys are a little more of a handful.
I'll say that Bo has been more of a handful than so far.
So far.
Yeah.
Just like physically, like just running around and throwing stuff down.
Like he's like the Roomba.
He's like the off-road Roomba and Hattie was so much more careful.
And she was just like an actual
vacuum which is very
very stationary yeah she
had her own you know cleaned out her own filters and
everything yeah I stayed in the closet a lot that's
right yeah yeah so good for you guys third
guitar pick coming soon that's right
hoping to get four dang
yeah

we were doing all this. Oh, it was awesome. It was so funny. I would love to see that again.
That's so funny, dude. Dude, we should do more like live skits, live theater. Yeah. We should

How did you find me?
No, you don't feel weird about this.

And what what strong security they had.
Everyone was too worried about ushering people out at the end of the show.
Like, look, these guys golf for a living.
How harmful can they be?
Yeah.
And then what's funny is they're kind of a little quinky dink.
Not only is one of the first guys I ever met at
CannaCuck in 2011, it was the cabin I lived in
before campers get there.
He was my shepherd, as we call it.
He was like the veteran camper.
His name is Joe Gilliland.
He is now their manager.
He manages like talent and like golf influencers
or whatever.
So he's their manager in Dallas.
And then further coink-a-donk is, I guess, Trey reached out to like his agent, his manager, Jack, and was further coinkadonk is i guess trey reached out to like

good if you like golf stuff on youtube or cool hats or cool hats don't put them in the washer

when it was like plastic okay uh yeah sure that you know you yeah like molds to your hat to help
yeah you put your hat in a plastic apartment oh
dishwasher oh is it in the regular washer i go wash a machine all right that's what i would think
i don't wash my hats very often i'll go microwave katherine washed my hat kind of recently and i
got kind of frustrated with her i was like don't wash my hat but she she had good intentions they
were very dirty and my hat was dirty try to keep the dirty hats dirty and the clean hats clean
sure um okay that's probably
enough of that of the show yada yada um everything happens this week let's get into some voice memos
let's do it shall we let's see i want to start off with this one hey jake and brad this is bailey
calling from the milwaukee show um with the correct pronunciation to the wisconsin cities so here they are sheboygan manitowoc wasa kakana ashwabinan
waukesha okonomowoc menominee wauwatosa and wayawega um so it's pretty funny we enjoyed
listening to that one laughed pretty hard at that um next thing is I have a question for you guys wondering if you can recall
any times where you were laughing at something, but it was too inappropriate of a time to laugh.
So mine would be at my grandpa's funeral and the Catholic priest started singing.
I was glad I was wearing a mask so I wasn't laughing out loud um so wondering if you guys had any um scenarios like that thanks guys love the pod
i like i like to think that she wasn't wearing a mask because of covid i like to think it was like
a halloween themed funeral or something there i am i have my scream mask on
i just got a bill clinton mask on like yeah my sister went as hillary and this was the exact
girl who gave us the list i just now put that together hayley drescher we got like half of
those right we got the easy ones right i really like how to i really like how to say a schwab
on that one just sounds nice i had the emphasis the schwab and then uh they're so hawaiian she
made no comment about the hawaiian connection you put
together last week i liked that theory has justin told you about it yet i have not heard back from
justin either justin let us know people don't want to tell us the truth but we got some any of the
au's we got a little off wasao and kakona or however she said them got those wrong but we got
wawatosa wakesha we got some as far as her question goes i'm sure i have kind of tough
to recall that off the top of my head the one i can think of i'm sure i've done it so many times
but not like super super inappropriate times but like i remember one time at canada cook staff
training week i just texted you a movie that katherine texted me i want to you play it later
cool um there was a a guy giving this speech.
It was like staff training week.
So there's,
you know,
tons of people there.
And for whatever reason,
he was black guy,
but he didn't say donkey.
He said donkey.
And one of my friends thought it was the funniest thing
the way,
and he kept talking about donkey
and donkey
and donkey.
And like,
and my friend thought
it was the funniest thing.
And so then like,
because he was laughing
so uncontrollably
and like trying
to hold it in watching him lose it made me lose it yeah and then we're just laughing at each other
and then like we kind of get over it and then all of a sudden he's and don't get you know he says
it again it's like oh my gosh there he goes again and so that's the one time i could think of like
that that's pretty good i that's my same friend by the way that um he he laughs when
he's embarrassed which is like terrible gosh and so yeah he'll just say something that he shouldn't
have said and then he'll laugh at somebody like to their face and yeah it's just the worst of
every habit so yeah i don't really i can't think of a very good answer right now and i've even
already shared this story on the podcast but when i when went to Las Vegas for Matt Kelly's bachelor party and my friend Sherman and Grant
Huterberg, we go into the bathroom of like the Hakkasan and yeah, they're just acting
like they've contracted some things from some, some escorts in Vegas.
Yeah.
Careful third graders might be listening.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Some things like, uh, you know, you know you know milk duds sprees milky milky cocoa
yeah yeah so that was a time where i was like i don't think i should be laughing
but boy this is funny this is taking me by surprise um okay so that was from hayley thanks
hayley thank you hayley hey jake and brad this is andrew um to give you some background on myself um i used to work for
kansas state baseball and i did some baseball analytics for them go cats um i currently work
for the chiefs as a data scientist i'll give you this background because tonight
while i was playing basketball with some guys i told them about my background and what i do
the first question i got almost immediately was, oh, have you seen Moneyball?
Yes, I've seen Moneyball.
Thanks for asking.
I get this question every time I tell someone about my background.
It's like your exact job.
That's very frustrating.
I can guarantee you every time I tell someone about it, they ask it.
That's funny.
I'm just curious, what questions do you guys get about your jobs when you tell them you're a woodworker or comedian? Um, just
never fails. You get that same question. Um, Jake, I got tickets for the show in St. Louis. Super
excited for that. Brad, I'll see you Sunday morning at LBC. Yeah, baby. So he lives here,
but he's coming to the show in st louis he's trying to reach the
lost yeah that's it needs it that's part of lbc's mission is you know go to st louis to go out to
the centers and yeah teach about teach about christ so um that's such a great question and
it's so funny like he has a specific job there's only been one movie ever made about that specific
job you do data analytics have you seen the one other movie that talks about this but baseball analytics yeah yeah like you know i've been meaning to i've heard
about it yeah yeah like what yeah there could be like other examples of that like i have an iq of
75 and i played football for alabama have you seen forrest gump yeah yeah but because i also
work for a shrimp company not because of the football part like
they didn't even connect that there was you'd be surprised how accurate the shrimp parts
yeah right right like yeah i started this uh social media network uh that's like huge
it shut down like a server i'm getting i'm getting sued a bunch oh have you seen the social network
i was the social network yeah all these different things different things. Hey, nice to meet you. I am a gay cowboy.
Really?
Okay.
You've seen Brokeback Mountain?

Yeah.
What else?
My skin is green.
And my friends with a donkey.
And my wife is hot.
Yeah.
Oh.
And yeah, I am friends with a donkey. And my wife is hot. Yeah. Oh. And yeah, I'm friends with a donkey.
That's good.
That is a funny thought.
I don't have any like...
I got bit by a spider.
Sorry.
Okay, I'm done.
Yeah, you can keep going.
The one question that people always ask, and I don't know if it's just like a small talk
question or if they really care.
I doubt they really care, but people always want to know where I buy my wood.
Oh, friends lumber. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Maybe, maybe, but like, uh,
like, like it's like, like I'll, I'll answer you, but you're not going to know. I was gonna say,
I would have never thought to ask you that. Cause I do not care. It doesn't matter. Or name a hardwood store in Kansas city. You know what I mean? Oh, Lester's Lumbee. Exactly.
Yeah. Bloomer hardwoods. Yeah. It's like, oh, okay.
Like, where's the conversation go from there?
Nice.
Do you like it?
Like, that's all it's going to go.
Is it cool?
Oh, are they good?
Like, it's good.
Long, straight.
Yeah.
Pretty wooden, huh?
I think everyone wants me to say like Home Depot or Lowe's or something, you know?
And so like, they can kind of relate to that.
Like, oh, I didn't know if you went to Home Depot.
I was like, oh, I used to, whatever, you know?
But like, people always like ask me like,
where do you buy your lumber?
Where do you buy your wood from?
You know,
I don't have a straight answer.
That's even common.
Yeah.
Cause it doesn't seem like,
why would anyone care?
It is,
it is a weird,
a weird way to like,
or weird question.
I don't know.
Yeah.
Um,
for me,
if you don't know enough,
sorry about,
uh,
the trade or whatever,
like you don't know where to start.
I don't know what to ask.
Like, uh, Jake, what, what f-stop do you use what what brand f-stop do you use on your apertures on your isos yeah you're like um so you make tables but do you eat off of them do you can
you you can are these the tables that you eat off of or you sit down on them because there's a back
there's a back to the table yeah you make a table but you don't or
you make a chair but you don't sit on it uh for me if they haven't already said jake from state
farm you know those commercials right yeah then i think i get somewhat off and it's like okay now
youtube how does that work how does that work how does like how do you get money yeah how do you get
money so you guys get paid from YouTube.
YouTube pays you guys.
Or, like, how many subscribers until you start getting paid?
You know, you just tell, like,
they are inquisitive,
but with those questions, like,
oh, they have no clue.
I'm gonna, they,
I don't even know where to start.
Yeah.
So, I saw a woman last night
playing pickleball,
older woman,
but nowhere,
just strictly from pickleball.
This woman loves me.
Scott even calls it out. He's like, yo, so-and-so like she was talking about you when you got it, but she saw you in the parking
lot when you walked up. Haven't seen this woman in 10 months. She's got one question to ask me
last night. She goes, Jacob had seen all her stuff. It's good to see it. What job did you
quit to do what you're doing now? And that was a brand new one. I was like, okay, that's different.
That's fun. Yeah. That was not what I i was expecting but for the most part it is uh
yeah just like you know how does that work how many what is one view how many yes like is that
a dollar or whatever right yeah that is a question i've i've started getting the ass out like like
how do you get paid like that's what they always ask i say well watch the whole video and we get
paid for the ads.
That's a fun question, Andrew.
See you at Churchman.
Very fun question.
Go Jesus.
Hey, Jake and Brad.
I was just listening to your most recent episode.
And Jake talks about meeting a NFL football coach.
And that reminded me of the summer.
I was working at Hanukkah. And I went to a cabin each night and I was a kitschy at the time. So I went to this cabin and this group
of girls and there was this one girl and she was really fun, really bubbly and just really hilarious.
And I remember one night she was wearing a chief's hoodie and I was like, huh, like that's
interesting. And I was going to talk to her about it and then later forgot. And then the next day I hear from someone that she is Clark Hunt's daughter.
So then I go to her the next day.
I'm like, you're Clark Hunt's daughter?
She's like, I am.
And that was just wild.
I was like, how in the world did I not know that?
And just how humble you are, not even being like I'm, you know,
she wasn't prideful of that, which is really cool.
But what was the coolest interaction you've had with a famous person?
Bye.
Bye.
Thank you, Jewel.
Nice to meet you.
Your sisters are great.

We're fine.
Okay.
What about you?
No, 100% gas pedal.
I'm still so confident.
The chiefs.
Okay.
I, my confidence will not waver until week 18.
I am so confident.
I, I, I, I, I'm not confident that they're necessarily going to win the AFC right now, but I'm confident that they will still go to the Super Bowl.
That's good.
Because a lot of people are getting worried we're going to have to shut down the podcast.
Nope.
If you guys remember.
People are like, renegotiate the terms.
Chiefs don't go to the Super Bowl.
You don't go.
Nope.
No.
Gas pedal.
The terms are the terms and we are just fine.
The terms were two months ago.
I said, as long as Patrick Mahomes stays healthy and we don't make it to the Super Bowl,
we will quit this podcast.
Yeah. So far, one of those things has stayed true Andy and you're reading Patrick Mahomes are on the Chiefs therefore we are fine we are fine not worried one bit you can they can
lose the Giants this week they look if they lose the Giants tonight it's on Monday Night Football
Monday Night Football still still won't be scared I'll get I'll be honest I'll be I'll be I'll be a
little higher pitch as well I'm not that scared I think it's fine we're saying have team this is just fine
yeah but but i i'm confident so yeah it is fun and it's nice to be like balancing out like
everyone on the internet is really turning on the chief so it's nice to ride the optimism like
we're the we're fine yeah how many people are truly turning on the chiefs and how many people
are just like hey let me have a hot take.
Patrick Holmes.
Isn't that good?
It's like, you're, you're just doing this for class.
Give me a break.
Give me a break.
Give me a break from that.
Yeah.
Give me a break.
Um, anyway, back to the chiefs.
One of Brad's favorite chiefs is Gracie hunt.
Loves following her on Instagram.
Give me a break.
Give me a break.
I stopped following her cause you guys guilted me out of it.
All right.
Like it was at two years ago, last year?
I don't want to talk about this.
I'll tell you.
Okay.
So first and foremost, let me tell you, have I told the story in the podcast about Noble
and the Chiefs?
Yes, I think so.
Because you had him in your cabin, right?
I didn't have him in my cabin, but like he was at our camp.
It was like, my daddy owns the like.
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah.
He was like, you like the Chiefs?
I like the Chiefs.
I was like, no way.
He's like, yeah, my dad owns them how you have like you like the chiefs i like the chiefs i was like no way he's like yeah my dad owns them whoa so so i know i know the hunt family
i have tavia the mom's phone number in my phone okay talk about famous people you know and so
yeah follow the daughter who happens to be a cute girl and it has started to be like modeling things
and whatever i don't i think i I found out like Brad is like,
you guys see Gracie Hunt's Instagram post today?
No, I didn't say that.
I never said that.
No, I would never have said that.
There's no way.
There's no way that's how I brought up.
There's no way.
There's no way.
There's no way I would have said that.
Granted, I don't remember the interaction at all.
There's no way I would be like, hey dude,
you see her pictures? There's no way. Did be like hey dude you see her pictures there's no way you
see her pumpkins she's decorated happy halloween you didn't have her mask on there's no way i don't
know how you brought it out i think i just said i was following her and i was like i know i know
exactly i remember the conversation now because i was like i was like it's interesting to watch like the behind the scenes of how they get to the game and like how
they're in the tunnel after the game and like that's why i follow her and you guys were like
yeah sure that's why you like the articles too don't you yeah exactly i bet you just read that
for the articles um behind the scenes i was looking at her paddle behind her scenes no uh whatever um i think that
she was talking about tight end day i don't even know she was talking about crazy hunt she might
have been talking about the other sister there's two girls anyway the hunt family seems awesome
they seem awesome noble is really great yeah he's gonna be the owner someday and i'm gonna say i
know that guy i know the owner i knowous people. Honestly, Noble Hunt's probably the most famous person I've ever met.
Noble and Tavia.
I mean,
yes.
Yeah,
exactly.
I don't know.
You have a million answers for this.
Jamie McDermott,
Buffalo Bills head coach wife.
Yeah.
You know,
she's number one right now.
I mean,
that's the general woman.
Go to the general and save some time.
They're the most recent ones.
Catherine loved that.
I told her.
Yeah.
I like both of y'all's like
love and affinity for like uh like celebrity yeah yeah yeah yeah it is just funny because
there's only one guy that does that you know just him just him and ever like more people know that
than jamie mcdermott yeah you know and there's only yeah i've had i guess a decent a fair share
of celebrity interactions but none that are like super noteworthy.
Like Ryan Seacrest is so acrobatic.
He can do, he can do backflips, you know, like that would be cool.
I don't have anything like that.
I was like, I haven't heard that part.
Yeah.
Yeah.
No, everything is like, yeah, people I've met are like, cool.
They're about what you would expect.
There turns out, get this pretty normal people.
Are they almost like boring?
Normal though?
Like, is that that is that a
hot take is like celebrities aren't even fun don't be yeah don't meet any of them like i'm kind of
trying to make sure this podcast doesn't get up to 700 000 listeners every week i don't want to
get to that point because then we won't be fun anymore maybe that's it i'm trying to think if
anyone was like not anything other than ordinary logan paul was pretty like oh okay you're pretty
high energy off camera you do some interesting things off camera.
Really?
Yeah.
What do you share?
Nothing crazy.
It wasn't like he was like doing Molly off camera or anything.
It's just like his energy sending an email was like, OK, you are really pretty like eclectic
person.
You're pretty like high energy.
Like you just like it's like intangible or like what do you mean by energy?
I remember him sending an email and then he got done and he was like ready to be shooting a video now that he's done the email he slams his
laptop shut and just starts screaming he's like whoa all right let's shoot let's shoot baby come
on okay which is like very much the opposite of trey where it'd be like all right should we do
this thing or i'm gonna be like yeah that killed me today we were we were waiting too long i was
like let's go let's film this thing um no i have nothing but good things to say about logan but
it was like oh he wasn't just like um just like normal and chill and played it cool it was like even when the camera's off he's very
intense very high energy very hard working very much like enjoys what he does cares about what
he does he's very into it it was like it's fun to watch because he wasn't boring cool everyone
else been pretty boring okay fun fun question yeah good question uh all right let's do our five star reviews of
the week sure i'm gonna start oh do you want to play that video i'm i'm sorry uh i asked
kathleen can i play that on a podcast she said you can just shows how spoiled our kids are with

sasked. I bet you're probably wondering how I got here earlier this year. Sometime in February,
I think the stars aligned and I found the ghost runners podcast. I was instantly hooked and
pleasantly surprised when I heard the voices of my good friends, the I'm down boys for the better
part of the next two weeks. I listened until I was all caught up and I've been listening every
Monday ever since my dad quit his job at the end of the summer to pursue his dream. So this school
year has been a little extra chaotic, but it's given me a chance to show him ghost runners.
And now we watch every Monday morning together. Anyways, I just wanted to give you guys some
words of F. So here it goes, Jake.ake hey you remind me of my friend mason and
