uh brad i think at some point on this podcast before i've talked about the term lazy eye kind
of bothers me just because it just it doesn't seem like an actual condition it makes it seem
like it's your personal choice yes that was correct opinions really sorry guys i just uh
the life that i have guys there's just so much content i mean i can't keep it straight that
might have been in a jean shorts video or maybe that was do less god bless podcast that i did for
a while it could have been on the do less guest patreon only podcast that i did there for a while
or it could have been when i guested on cole clayborne's podcast dude i was on a golf podcast
this week do i saw that for a ghosty right yes yeah stefan stefan or stefan i was kind of waiting
for him to say his name so i could know how to pronounce it never got around to it i think it's
stefan he's a golf guy so there's no way ste's playing golf. I was trying to add a little swagger to his name.
Wait, what are we talking about? Oh yeah. Lazy eye. It just seems like if the eye would just,
you know, get a little work ethic, maybe get off the couch. Yeah. It could see better.
Lift a few lids, you know, closes loops and maybe, you know, have a better life. That's
how I feel with the term lactose intolerant. Cause it doesn't seem like an allergy. It just seems like, well, just tolerate
it. Yeah. Just suck it up. Just literally suck it up. Eventually you're going to tolerate it,
right? Just fight through, break through the barrier. Rosa Parks, your way through this.
How infuriating must it feel to know that your body is just not going to be able to tolerate
something? It's like, no, no, thank you. Suck it up and just do it.
Yeah, I don't want to do lots of things.
Look, I'm TurboTax intolerant.
I still find my way around that once a year.
Once a year.
I still do it.
Once a year.
I can't have cereal.
Yeah, I got to do solely.
Yeah, right.
We're not doing silk in that cereal.
Bring on the 2%.
Yeah, I just wish it had a different name. Because this is the Ghost Runners Podcast.
Ghost Runners Podcast.
Chapstick fell.
We're back, guys.
Hope you enjoyed the theme song this week.
Now, we do know that it is inaccurate because it still says Ghost Runners Podcast.
As you know, we are not a podcast anymore. Yes, we are getting back in the lab to write a new one for Ghost Runners Talk Show.
Yes, we do apologize for the wildly inaccurate.
Actually, I do have a really quick request.
This is so stupid to request to all our fans for literally one person.
But whoever made the beat for our theme song, can you please message me on Instagram?
Wait, what I emailed you didn't work?
I want the long version.
I want the two-minute long version. Okay, so a shout out to one person. Yes. I can't
remember who you are. I'm so sorry. You are a man and you have a normal name. That's all I remember.
Hair color. I think I, and I'm guessing I'm going to guess right now, two syllable, first name,
one syllable, last name. Okay. I'm weird like that. Yeah. okay that's my guess okay uh hair color's brown
for sure yeah maybe a beard but not like a super nice one yeah you know recessive gene intolerant
right is what he is dude i think i said this i said this to you the other day right before a
basketball game i was like you ever notice how uh bald people always have like a big old beard
it's interesting it's very interesting look at james harden yes he's bald he's not bald but look at his beard look at marcine gortat okay you know
everyone knows everyone's known whatever but like all those guys like especially like it's classic
like pickup basketball like the guy that just has a beard it's just like absolutely receding on top
yeah how's that work are you just your your
body only has so many follicles it just like reallocates them i don't know and poor guy usually
has a lot of chest hair too yeah it's like it's like i bet that guy wishes a little bit that was
on top yeah yeah like his drain gets clogged pretty often at a shower at home it's like man
i'm shedding like crazy they charge him more at the local pool when he wants to get in like this
is gonna cost us in the long run if If you want a membership here, our filters are
going to be running rampant. Yeah. Yeah. Right. So poor guy anyway. Yeah. Um, back on the, um,
just intolerance and allergies. Let me ask you this, Brad, you ever seen a gluten-free man?
Never. I don't do, do they, are they out there? I think in California, maybe a cafe gratitude,
right? Cafe gratitude definitely has a few gluten freeze. No. Um, I have a friend,
he, his wife owns a bakery for like a gluten-free bakery. And he was telling me,
and this is anecdotal. So don't, you can, you can look it up if you want. I don't know.
But he was telling me that like gluten-free is kind of a made up thing. Like the moon landing. Yeah. It's like, it's like a farce.
Did he mention that at all? No, but like he said, the demographic for gluten-free people is almost
completely like, Oh, I'm excited where this upper middle-class white women. Okay. Almost completely.
Like, it's like, it's like crazy how, and it's one of those things where it's like, yeah, maybe
it's because lower class people aren't testing for this or aren't realizing
that in the same foods or aren't eating the same foods. But it's like, it's really interesting
that like the only people intolerant to gluten are this one demographic that's kind of conveniently
able to be intolerant to it. So it's, it's kind of like the lactose intolerant idea,
but actually like true, like, Hey, if you just said like, I'm going to eat gluten, I don't care what you say,
body, maybe it'd be okay.
That's what Peter does with lactose.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
He just chooses to try and tolerate it.
And his body's like, please stop.
Yeah.
What are you doing?
Please stop.
Okay.
That's interesting.
I'm excited to hear what people say.
Like, cause you know, at least 30% of our listeners are a little offended right now,
but I think 70% of our listeners are like, maybe he's onto something.
Yeah.
It's like this girl is listening to this on her iPod in her, or I'm sorry, on her iPhone.
Excuse me.
On her iPhone in her like, you know, 2018 car.
She's like, that's not true.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
I'm not upper middle class.
Yeah.
I drove a 2018.
I had it for like four years.
Yeah.
I paid for half of it.
Like I drive a Corolla.
Like it's like, yeah, that still means you're like better than most people. You have a backup cam. Yeah, maybe. Yeah, probably.
I don't know. It's just funny. Like, like I said, anecdotal, but it's from, it's from somebody who
literally is profiting. And the funny thing is he's profiting that they're profiting off this
bakery and both his wife and his daughter are gluten-free celiac. So like, so it's not like he's like
saying this out of like disdain and like, yeah, like I don't like these people or these people
are bad. It's just like factual things. You're sharing the data. I think it's very interesting.
So it is interesting. I'm not going to talk about it now on the podcast, but I listened to a whole
podcast this week of just strictly data-driven COVID statistics. They were kind of like,
it was just very interesting as well. So good for him, you know, just sharing what he's seen. Yeah. I think that's great. That's a good way to learn
info. Um, so anyway, speaking of Peter, let's let, well, we got all sorts of stuff to talk
about with the chiefs because the chiefs were amazing. Um, fast forward to almost the end.
Whenever we hit that field goal, uh, I chest bumped Scott, Scott and I had chest bumped once
already in the game and it felt good. So I chest bumped Scott. And right after I chest bumped Scott, Scott and I had chest bumped once already in the game and it felt good. So I chest bumped Scott.
And right after I chest bumped Scott, Peter kind of came up, came to me and he looked
like he was about chest bump and I was about to hug him.
So we hugged like we hugged.
Sure.
And then the next time, I think when we scored the touchdown, uh, to win the game, spoiler
alert, uh, Scott and I chest bumped again.
And then here comes Peter.
And I thought, I thought we were going for a hug again.
Hug round two.
And I don't know what happened to Peter, but he went from, you know, whatever he is, 150 to all of a sudden feeling like he was 96 pounds.
Like all of a sudden he was like, I like shoved him to the ground in like, like onto a wall.
He was down with the count for like a week with COVID.
So he probably has lost some weight.
Maybe so.
Looking like Grandpa Joe out there.
I thought we were hugging.
I think he thought something else.
And I just pummeled him.
Pummeled him to the ground.
Yeah.
My eyes were on the TV, but I heard what sounded like an 8.6 earthquake behind me.
Oh, yeah.
There's scratches all over the wall.
Because I kind of pummeled him into the bench behind me.
And that bench hit the wall really hard.
So there's like permanent scratches from where Peter and I got excited.
But he's like, no, I'm good. I'm good. I'm good. I'm good. I'm good. Did either of your kids wake up that night?
Yes. I didn't tell you that after we, after you guys all left, uh, we went back like to my room
and from my hallway of my room, there's Hattie's hallway over here. Hattie was literally laying
there completely awake the whole time. She was like, she was like, you guys were being loud.
And I figured somebody would come back here. And so I just was waiting for you in the hall, but she had like, she had like brought
a blanket, brought her pillow and like her like stuffed animal out into the hall. Miss independent.
So she was, yeah, she was awake for the whole thing. So she, but at the same time, like didn't
come out and say anything to us. Yeah. So independent. Good for her. She really is.
I think they're both, they're both going to be pretty independent little kids, but
that's great. What a game though. If you guys you guys don't know i mean last week we recorded the
podcast on saturday brad ended the podcast by saying go chiefs and then just a little over 24
hours later the chiefs played and what a lot of people are calling the best football game ever
played yeah which is crazy because normally i feel like when you're watching a crazy game
it's always like march madness or it's some crazy game that you caught the
end of.
It's never the team you root for.
Right.
It's so fun that like,
this is going to go down in history,
you know,
at least for a little bit until someone else has a better game.
But it's like,
those are,
that's the team that we root for.
But,
but,
but is anybody really going to have a better like ending at least than
that?
Like the chiefs literally were down by a field goal with 13 seconds left.
And in the span of 10 seconds got within field goal range
yeah like like there's not going to be very many other games that are going to do that like maybe
there's going to be comparable ones where it's like okay they got down the field in 20 seconds
that was crazy uh-huh but it's never going to be like like it's going to be very rare especially
because it wasn't like a hail mary kind of thing it was like it was like one normal football yeah
normal football like it yeah that's why I love
the game. Cause there were no penalties or no turnovers. It was just great football for three
hours straight over time, 13 seconds. So we were all freaking out. I will, I will give a hundred
percent credit to Jake and my wife, Catherine. Thank you for being very vocally positive the
whole time. That's what I'm here for baby. I, I was pot. I I'm always, I was going to say I'm
always positive. I get negative sometimes, but like I was, I was optimistic in my head, but I wasn't
saying anything.
Cause I was like, in my heart, I was like, this game's over.
I can't believe it.
But I was like, but there's always time.
There's crazy things happen to sports all the time.
Like maybe, maybe we'll get a Hail Mary.
Never did I imagine that we would get like a field goal opportunity.
And like, like once we got, so we got, if you don't know, you didn't watch the game cause you were under a rock. We got two passes that basically put us in
the field goal range. After we got that second pass, I went from being like so quiet for like
two minutes to like jumping up and down chest bumping with Scott, like, like just freaking
out about it. So it was, it was just crazy electric. It was so fun. And everyone's like,
Oh, I can't believe you guys, I bet you guys are so sad not going to the game.
I truly am not.
I mean, I think it would have been obviously amazing if we were there.
But I had so much fun with my friends just watching it at home.
It was awesome being there with Scott, too.
He's just so up and down.
Dude, I can't wait for Scott to turn 60.
And like, because he's already like an old man the way he watches sports.
I mean, just the tiniest thing doesn't go our way.
And he's firing off rhetorical questions that you're, you're not sure how to respond to.
What were they doing there?
What's, what's Spagnola thinking in this situation?
Is that a cover?
I think he was in cover too.
Was he like, how do you miss that?
It's like, I don't know.
I don't, I don't, I don't even fully understand what cover two is.
I think I do.
But then there's also called cover two man.
That's good.
You know, whatever.
He's just, yeah. He's just asking all these questions these questions it's like scott we're watching the same broadcast you
are fourth quarter the bills had just scored it wasn't looking great and then they do like i mean
this happens 30 times a game where they just they they're like legally obligated to like
like advertise promote their network yeah promote other shows on their networks like just want to
remind you guys this friday ncis hawaii don't miss it like right after this ncis hawaii yeah and man
you would have thought you would have thought somebody had just like they were promoting like
terrorism oh yeah what yeah hitler's hitler's america coming up after this scott's like what
are they thinking he loves throwing the word freaking in like when it doesn't matter like he's like ncis freaking hawaii like we don't need to watch like why are they showing this freaking
now who right now is watching this game and being like oh i need to freaking record i need to dvr
this later no one no one is thinking that why are they showing this he was so fired up and then the
chiefs won and he texted us later he's like I've just been giggling on my drive home.
You know, so he's like back and forth.
Just the agony and ecstasy of sports.
Him and Sam drove separately.
And I have no doubt that he truly giggled the whole way.
I do.
Like he was thinking about it, just like laughing to himself.
Oh, man.
He said he watched the, I think he's like, I'm going home and I'm watching the whole
thing over again.
He's also the classic guy.
It's like rewind that right now.
Like he wants to watch it.
That was the same way we watched the game where the chiefs won in overtime
against the chargers on a walk-off touchdown with Travis Kelsey.
Crazy.
And he,
we,
we went back and watched it immediately.
Really?
Like he was like,
I got to watch it right now.
It's like,
it's like,
they're going to show the replay like 15 times and then you can go on
Twitter and watch it too.
I was at a bar in Detroit when I was watching that game and the TV was to my left and tour manager tom was also to my left okay so i just stared at
him for about an hour and a half just like trying to oh i see like i had to like look past him to
watch the game and then i got really excited at tour manager tom towards the end of it
it was fun but like hey i don't need to see the promo for NCIS Miami,
but please move for the other stuff.
Oh, it was so fun.
And yeah, I don't even know where to go from here.
We got the Bengals this week.
How are we feeling?
We're doing good, right?
I thought of this morning while I was brushing my teeth.
I was like, wait, we haven't texted the Swicks at all.
Why have we not talked trash to the Swicks yet?
I forgot.
It didn't go too well the first time we talked trash to them.
We literally started talking trash after the Chiefs were dominating them,
and then they ended up losing the game.
Yeah, we need to hit up Steve and say something to him.
But I'm feeling good.
You know what I feel good about is I ended the night at your house watching that game by calling the last second touchdown.
I said, this is going to be Travis Kelsey in the corner.
That's how we win the game.
Gunner comes over and kisses me on the head.
Did he?
And I want to take that momentum,
the Gunnar forehead kiss,
and take it into the game this week because I will be attending live with Gunnar and Isaac.
Oh, Gunnar's going too.
There's going to be a lot more kisses
and not just the forehead this week.
So I'm feeling great.
I love it, dude.
Isaac is now known in our friend group for like,
if Isaac goes to a game,
it's going to be one of the more incredible
Chiefs games of all time.
Right.
So when I had the opportunity to get tickets,
everyone in the group text was like,
for the love of God, take Isaac.
Make sure Isaac's there.
Oh, you went to the Titans game that Mahomes had that crazy run.
Yes.
Okay.
That was towards the end zone I was sitting at.
Which was also a crazy comeback.
Yeah, we're down by 10.
But Isaac was also there.
Yeah, Isaac was there too.
Yeah.
So anyway, football's fun.
And I know you guys are probably like, all right, we get it.
Football, guys.
But I do want to have something
for the non-football fans to still enjoy.
I was, you know, obviously I'm trying to consume.
This has been the most fun time ever to be a Chiefs fan
because the entire internet is talking about us.
They're talking about how good we are,
talking about how good that game was.
It's so fun.
So I'm on the NFL's YouTube channel,
which for the most part, they have a great content team.
Their Instagram's awesome.
Their YouTube, they always crank out videos.
And I'm just trying to like consume Chief's content but the most part it's very polished
you know it's just like um so here are the videos leading up to the chief's content okay tom brady
full season highlights rams versus buccaneers divisional round highlights chris godwin full
season highlights just like stuff like that it's like very polished and like oh yeah i'm sure
someone is um cooper catch touch you know you know, Cooper cup, touchdown catch.
And then the titles get really weird for the Chiefs-Bills game.
I don't know who's in charge of this, but here's like a clip.
It's a 44-second clip.
The title is Chiefs running there.
Catch me if you can, red zone offense.
Never heard it called that.
Oh yeah, everyone calls it that.
I'm just kidding.
Okay. Next video. Oh, you're not ever recall that. I'm just kidding. Okay.
Next video.
Oh, you're not playing them.
You're just calling them.
No, I was just going to read the titles.
It's shocking to me.
This is Bill's clip.
You know whose arm he has.
We don't even need to say it.
That's the title of a...
Is it a quote?
No, it's not in quotes.
That's just the title of a YouTube video.
You know whose arm he has.
We don't even have to say it.
I don't get it. I i don't know i'm sitting here at 1 a.m being like what what am i looking at like what this doesn't i feel like i'm on a weird party it's like they
outsource this part to india yeah it's like yeah it's pretty late on a sunday just come up with
something you think be able to click on right it's like oh all right next video gabriel davis
with route technician lit up like a Christmas tree.
With route technician?
With route.
And there's two spaces between route and technician.
If someone had texted me all these different things,
I would think that it was like a bot that was like trying to scam me.
And just trying to like, I kind of know English.
I know how to put words like subject and predicate together.
Yeah.
I don't know what they mean.
Yeah.
Next video.
Speed force Tyreek runs away from Bill's defense.
It's just like, it's slightly off.
It's just, yeah, that's what I'm saying.
That's like, that's a force.
That's a hacker.
That's a, that's, that's someone who does like who texts you.
It's like, there's only one word that shouldn't like speed for like, if you just said, what
does that mean?
A speedy guy, speedy Tyreek.
Speedster Tyreek.
Yeah.
But it's like speed force.
Catch me if you can red zone offense.
I don't even know what that like in the red zone,
it's more compact.
You're not running away from people.
It's almost like oxymoronic.
Do they snap out of it eventually?
And then after these clips and it goes back to Josh Allen,
full season highlights,
best passes from generational QB,
dual Patrick Mahomes versus Josh Allen divisional round.
That one's a little lengthy.
That one sounds like they're trying to hit some search engines with it.
And then another 16 second clip,
just a YouTube short.
They act like two legends cannot coexist.
It's just Mahomes and Josh Allen hugging.
It's just so weird.
And then I scrolled down.
I was like,
oh,
okay.
They've been doing this for a while.
Cause in the Rams bucks games,
the title is LOL.
Okay.
What is going on?
That's the title.
I don't want to be so relevant.
It's so funny to me.
Next video posted like 30 minutes later.
OMG, is this happening?
What?
It's just a funny thing.
They're just trying to be cool at that point.
You could go look.
I mean, there's a million of these.
I don't know.
I've never noticed this.
I know what happened.
I know what happened.
So you know how they have like the Nickelodeon game?
Yeah.
Like this is the Nickelodeon like upload.
Yeah.
It's like the same.
It's like the same like eight year olds trying to like,
Hey, you guys are in charge of like uploading stuff.
Now you're really good with YouTube.
Let's try to capture a younger audience.
Yeah.
Do whatever you want to do.
OMG.
What's happening?
Look through TikTok comments and kind of just make those a YouTube title.
Doesn't matter what's happening in the clip.
Yeah.
Two legends can't exist.
Couldn't be me.
Like have that be a YouTube title.
You won't believe this.
Yeah.
Yeah.
CEO of late game comebacks.
The CEO.
I love how CEO is just like a generic thing for like someone who's good at something.
Decent at something.
Yeah.
Oh, he's the CEO.
No.
Hey.
He's just good at it.
You're cheapening what a CEO does now.
That's right.
100%.
Yeah.
I sent you a link to a video of this kid.
It was going to be a big football episode, guys.
Sorry.
No, it's okay.
We just played the greatest game I've ever played.
You guys understand.
Yeah.
It's awesome.
We're going to play this clip.
I've heard a lot of people talking about it, but I haven't seen it.
This is like Jake if Jake were 24 years younger.
Okay.
Thank you.
Excited to watch it.
Here we go.
Do they have a chance?
Sorry.
Minneapolis Miracle.
Say Minneapolis Miracle.
Think.
Why are you guys so negative?
We're not negative.
There's not zero.
Okay, but there's not zeros on the clock.
This is awesome.
There's not zeros.
There's still a chance.
Then it'll fast forward a second.
People just going nuts.
Oh, they have a golden retriever. I'd love to see that. people just going nuts oh
they have a golden retriever
I'd love to see that
oh
big family group hug
how did I not ever see this
this is
like yeah
I don't know if we're gonna be able
to put it on the YouTube version
or not like the video of it
but like
the room that they're in
is the most Kansas City
like intangibly Kansas City living room I've ever seen. And also do
they just have a GoPro in the corner? And like, what is that? Why? Or yeah, maybe it's a security
camera is my thought. Oh, okay. But, but I just love that kid because there's, there's something,
yeah, that, that kid's enough of a sports fan to where he's seen one out of a thousand games where
it ended like the Minneapolis miracle. It ended in a miracle. And so that's the beauty of sports is that it's always,
there's always a chance.
There's always a chance.
Oh,
I love that kid.
Let's get them on the pod.
I think I would really bond with him.
Just a lot of positivity.
I know.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Anyway.
Um,
okay.
Now it's my turn to say football thing.
This is the last football thing.
No,
it's not.
I'm not ashamed about how much we love football here and people are gonna love it it's fine we don't get to talk
about it again for like eight months after right you know so whatever i'm so excited whenever
football season's over it's like oh i get back my sundays um people have asked us several questions
concerning f12 which quick plug for uh patreon brad's been blogging and it's awesome and there's
also a public post on our patreon that anyone could view
it's like a kansas city guide an f12 guide two public posts both were pub both pub good for you
thank you so anyone could check it out uh but yeah it's awesome so uh brad made a bingo card
which is fun for anyone who's coming into town just like he's all these bingo spaces
uh which that was a fun bingo bakercom. Is that what it was from?
Yeah.
Good.
Fun site.
Um,
anyway,
people have been asking,
all right,
now F12 is a day before the Superbowl.
What's kind of the plan,
right?
I think here's what I'm willing to say.
If the chiefs do not make it,
I would be willing to watch with whoever's still in town. Sure.
If the chiefs are in it,
I would probably prefer to watch it with my best friends.
How I've watched all the other games. That was too passive. You need to say, I probably prefer to watch it with my best friends how i've watched all the other games that was too passive you need to say i would prefer to watch it with
my friends yeah this is no probably i think i ordered a large no i i think maybe you didn't
give me all of my change back for that for the last 10 years i've only ever ordered a large i
think i said large pretty sure pretty sure my like i i according to my receipt i paid for a large and i think that
is that i think that's a medium right i only come here like three times a week so i'm not sure
that's a medium okay yeah yeah yeah so probably so i i didn't say probably i think i said i would
prefer no you said probably dang it so passive gotta snap out of it um so yeah that's
the stitch for that that's what yeah we love you guys but we want to watch it by ourselves yeah i
think you guys probably get it this is like the only sports team i cheer for the only tv that i
watch yeah to make it to the biggest stage just more fun to watch it right with people who've
been with you the whole time so right that's that um also that reminded me someone in our
you haven't joined it yet join Join our Facebook F12 group.
You still got Ghost Runners F12, correct?
Yeah. And it was in, I'll put it in the description again, but we got like 110,
120 people in there. It's fun. There's a lot of chatter in there. Someone,
ever since F12 has been announced, they've been jotting down just buildings.
Oh my gosh. I told Catherine about this.
Yes. Yes. I've been showing people. I'm like, look at that. This is awesome.
My favorite one. Well, you go ahead aldi yes she put all these first of all yeah
i love the idea of someone being like i can't wait to check out aldi
one because it is the furthest thing from kansas city like specific right two it's like a lower
end grocery store it's like a knockoff of every other grocery store.
It's like, I can't wait to go check out the church's food pantry.
That's what it's like.
But it's awesome.
I mean, you have to bring a quarter just to get a shopping cart.
Right.
Which maybe adds to the experience.
And the bags, they don't give you bags.
You have to pay for bags or you have to bring your own or get a box from them.
Yeah.
No bags.
Babs always tells me, grab your bags.
We don't. Yeah. Bring your canvas bags.
But yeah.
B-Y-O-B.
For the most part,
she did do a great job.
There was a lot of stuff like,
yeah,
we have talked about that and all that would be great to check out.
Messenger,
McLean's,
you know,
whatever.
Yeah.
Chick-fil-A.
She even had specific going Chick-fil-A in the mornings,
maybe afternoons to see Domi,
which I don't know when we talked about that,
but I think I mentioned it at one point,
but yeah, try to find Domi.
And it was really fun.
It was a good time.
So thanks for jotting those down.
Someone asked for restaurant recommendations and I just copied and pasted five different chilies.
So hope that helps.
The one in Olathe is classic, dude.
That one's good.
Now that one.
Best chilies I've ever been to.
Sister worked there
for like 10 years so that's nice we always got unlimited chips and queso chips and salsa for free
oh yeah f12 is gonna be and that it the chiefs are gonna win this sunday i'm just saying right
now sorry swicks if you're listening to this the chiefs won sorry bingles if you're listening to
this it's too late um hey joe burrow if you're listening to this, it's too late. Um, Hey,
Joe Burrow,
if you're listening,
this is too late.
Uh,
so therefore it's chiefs win.
We're going to Superbowl.
Therefore,
Kinsey is just going to be electric.
It's going to be such a fun time to be here.
It's going to be painted red.
Everything like it is cool.
Like it truly does.
Like it gives me pride when I see like downtown buildings have nothing to do with the NFL
that have like made all their lights red.
Right.
This is so cool.
We're all, we all cheer for the same team.
When we drove to our basketball game the other night, it was obviously dark enough.
And Hattie and I were, I was like, Hattie, look at the big city.
She loves skyscrapers.
Me too.
And so she's like, look at all those skyscrapers.
She's like, why are they all red?
I was like, why do you think?
She's like, cause of the cheese.
I was like, yes, Hattie.
That is it.
It was. Yeah. And like, yeah, whatever. We, we, cause of the cheese. It was like, yes, that is it. It was.
Yeah.
And like, yeah, whatever.
We, we, we want to talk about the chiefs the whole time.
We've been to four straight AFC championships before this in my entire life.
We'd never been to any.
Yeah.
Like that's nuts.
And I think like, I think you and I appreciate it.
I think Catherine's just like, yeah, I guess this is good.
Why were they good?
They have Patrick Holmes.
It's like, no, you don't understand.
You don't understand.
I watched every game.
They went to in 14.
That was not that long ago.
I watched every game. Yeah. We remember it all. Like remember all the devastating times. Yeah.
So I don't know. It's, there's probably a part, like the national media is starting to turn on
the chiefs a little bit just because we've been good for a few years now. Yeah. But it's like,
not that long ago we sucked. We were, we just had one good draft pick. We got my homes and now
we got Andy Reed first of all. Okay. andrew andrew but yeah then then my homes
really obviously took it to the next level you know what i think about sometimes when it comes
to like city pride like when i see like people having an altercation or you know on the anywhere
in kansas city or you hear about gang violence or anything i'm like that's such a bummer because i
guarantee you we all root for the same sports teams sure can't you just talk about the chiefs
that's one of the i always use the sports that can bring people together so well it's like yeah I guarantee you we all root for the same sports teams. Sure. Can't you just talk about the chiefs?
That's one of the beauty of sports is that it can bring people together so well.
It's like, yeah, any race, any like social class, any, whatever.
They all love the same sport.
Let's talk about Brett Beach.
Right.
That's what I tweeted earlier this week.
Like I got Monday.
I actually did see that 13 seconds thing.
I did see that because 13 seconds is all it took for the Chiefs to get in the field goal range
and tie the game.
And so I'm like, instead of saying it like in Alabama,
they're all like, all right, have a good day.
Roll Tide.
Roll Tide.
I think it should be like, all right, have a good day.
13 seconds.
All right, yeah, 13 seconds.
You know, like just like, hey, do you want to go four-way stop?
You and me?
Okay.
Okay, thank you.
Yeah, 13 seconds.
That's right, 13 seconds.
Yep.
God bless you and your family.
Don't make that joke, Marty. Yeah, come on. Come on, Martin. Come on, Martin. Okay. Okay. Thank you. Yeah. 13 seconds. That's right. 13 seconds. Yep. God bless you and your family. Don't make that joke, Marty. Yeah. Come on. Come on, Martin. Yeah. Anyway. Uh, man.
So yeah, I think I'm going to say it, you know, like we're going to take communion at church,
you know, whatever. I don't know. Um, should we talk about basketball? Yeah. Stay sporty. Yeah.
Uh, we'll want to know. Easy one. We were up by two at halftime and then we won by 34 that much yeah we we killed them they got so tired in the second half they were not good
either though they also were not great at what you would call basketball yeah some of them looked
like maybe they thought they were trying to shoot a football it looked like when all the powers come
out of charles barkley and space jam yeah he no longer knows how to shoot a free throw.
That was how four out of their six players shot the ball.
Yeah, true.
That one guy was pretty good.
Yeah.
But we got Rustin on our team.
Yeah.
Who didn't even try.
I bet he was 56%.
So crafty.
Man.
Good with the fundamentals.
I think Rustin and Bree are going to be in the new season of Ghost Runwriters that's yeah right now yeah oh that's fun new season yep they're coming
into their own i think um rustin and brie should we talk about how breed tried to set up isaac
yeah we should yeah if we're gonna do it we're gonna do it so rustin and brie are my age they
went to high school oh rustin went to high school with me i knew brie from high school she went to
a different one she goes to different school you guys wouldn I knew Brie from high school. She went to a different one. She goes to different school. You guys wouldn't know her. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Whatever my girlfriend,
whatever. But, um, anyway, but they're, they're awesome. They're great. They went to mid America,
Nazarene where Rustin, uh, is the total, like has the record. Yeah. It has the all time record for
points, uh, for basketball there. And so, yeah, he's very good at basketball and yeah, they've
just been high school, junior high sweethearts basically. um and so yeah they're 31 along with me and brie at lukehogland.com's
wedding was like yeah like well maybe we shouldn't say this no i don't really know the details i just
i just remembered this girl's coming to f12 that's fine no way but she doesn't listen to the podcast
yet as far as i know i think we don't have anything bad to say about her, right? I think she would understand.
No, no, of course.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Whatever.
Whatever.
Yeah.
It's fine.
I just, I just am so sensitive to people anyway.
Except for Henry.
Except for Henry.
I haven't, I, I, I ghosted him the other day.
He left me a voicemail.
Anyway.
Yeah.
So Bree was like, I think I want to set up Isaac with my friend.
She's a little bit older.
And I stopped her right there. I was like, that's good. Perfect. I, I want, I think Isaac needs an
older woman. He's only 21, but he's, he's the maturity and like the life stage of an older
person. So I think he needs a girl that's ready to like settle down like he is. And she's like,
great. And then later on, we learned that she's 31. I was like, Oh, okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Two,
two, two two different pretty different
life stages yeah just a little bit too far removed like one got two nosebleeds in the last hour and
came into the kitchen being like oh it's bursting again and then the other one has like a 401k he
came in he's like he's like hey what's up brad you're like again he's like dude i don't know what's going on i don't know dude
that should be on the bingo card isaac will get isaac will get a bloody nose in your presence
that weekend then that'd be enough 12 but sometimes you will see him have a bloody nose oh man so
anyway what's funny too is afterward like the next day we're kind of debriefing everyone's
telling me the story we're in a group of a few people. And so it's like, okay, okay. Everyone right now have a
number in your head. What do you think is the highest that you think Isaac could go
age-wise dating someone? Yeah.
70 people all say their numbers. I think Isaac only was willing to go up to like 25,
but me, you and Catherine all said 27. So we're like, great. It's 27.
And then Isaac like took the wisdom of the room from the older people. He's like, all right,
27. All right. There it is. They've decided.
So there you go,
ladies.
Yep.
27 and under,
or just 27 and exact.
Yeah.
Isaac's interested.
Yeah.
Come to F12.
So he will be there anyway.
Yeah.
Ooh,
little fundraiser.
We auction,
auction them off at F12.
Yeah.
Yeah.
We're not even a fundraiser.
Just who wants them?
Isaac's like,
what happened to my shirt?
Yeah.
He's coming out there.
10-minute time slots.
Have at him.

like that was like a classic like thing that you did on like 90s sitcoms was like they had an auction
for like who wants to go on a date for with these people yeah i don't know if that ever actually
happened in real life oh it happened in real life.
Happened to me.
What?
Yeah.
I got auctioned off in college.
Okay.
How'd it go?
I ended up dating that girl.
No way.
Yeah.
You're like, I've completely, that's all it took for Jake was like, Hey, this, this shows
a little bit of interest in me.
Sure.
How long?
For a long time.
A year.
It's all it takes.
Longest relationship I've ever had via auction.
Like I'm some eBay product.
No way.
How have we never like revealed this?
I completely forgot about it until this moment.
I'm not even kidding.
I forgot about that.
I was like, that was literally how we started kind of talking.
It was like, oh.
Did she buy you herself or did somebody else buy you for her?
I think it was, hold on.
This truly is such a repressed memory that I'm like trying
to piece it together. And also like, how, like, did you go up on stage and like jokingly like
flex for her? Did you have to say like your height? Like, was she like close to your height?
So she like wanted to make sure. Yeah. It was about a year before Tinder came out. And so I
was just practicing really. No, I, I think it was for, I remember. Oh yeah. Okay. I'm remembering
more. I wanted to do a puppy petting zoo
that was my idea for a mission trip fundraiser okay I was like new idea
okay actually that reminds me too I I could tell that I haven't changed just
like the tweets from last week cuz Luke Oakland calm he came over yesterday we
had a few like business things to talk about just financing yada yada yada
boring stuff but one of things he was like oh now I want to help have you help
me a little bit you know I want to differentiate myself. I want to do this. I want to kind of
establish a brand. I was like, idea. You're the guy in town. Everyone knows you buy a house.
You let Luke do your mortgage lending. It comes with a golden retriever.
That's fun.
That's my idea for him.
I like that.
And then when I thought about it, I was like, more things should just come with a dog.
Because you've never seen that before. Nothing ever comes with a dog.
Okay. I think golden retriever is my favorite, but I think for marketing purposes, it's a
lab and we call them Labrador Luke.
Hashtag Labrador Luke.
Hey, sorry guys.
I gotta go.
I gotta get back in the lab.
Yeah.
It's a disgusting breeding farm, but still.
But like his like, well, I guess he doesn't have real estate.
We can get him real estate signs that say Labrador Luke on them.
Labrador Luke.
Here he is with his lab.
It's that like old Snapchat filter from like five years ago where they would put your face
in the dog's face.
It looks kind of creepy.
That's what the signs say.
Oh, perfect.
Labrador Luke.
Okay.
Yeah.
But anyway, okay.
Back to, I remember having, I was like, let's get a bunch of puppies.
That's our fundraiser.
They're just in like the, in the quad, you know.
Yeah.
They do that K-State every year for a fundraiser.
Oh, dang it.
I thought this was just like my idea.
What do they call it?
Clearly it's genius. If people are doing it. It started like in my idea. What do they call it? Clearly, it's genius.
It started in college, though, so it wasn't like that.
Yeah.
Maybe I did get it from somewhere.
Either way.
Oh, it's called Delta Sig Dogs.
What a creative name.
Yeah, wait, the dog smokes cigarettes?
That's confusing.
I would never call it that.
Yeah, yeah.
Just ripping cigs with dogs.
Ripping cigs with dogs.
Anyway, no one liked the puppy petting zoo idea, so they're like, what if we did a good
old-fashioned auction?
I was like, I don't know. Good old-fashioned is not a good old fashioned auction? And I was like, I don't know.
Good old fashioned is not the word you use for that.
I was like, I don't know how Stefan's going to feel.
Good old fashioned.
Like they did in the old days.
I was like, hey, ease, ease.
Jeez.
We are in Southwest Missouri, but come on.
So we do that.
And I don't remember a lot of the details.
I just remember like.
So this is for a mission trip.
Oh yeah.
Okay.
They're doing the Lord's work.
Yeah. They actually paid in shekels. I like the idea of you being like,
uh, like purposely throwing out this bad idea of a puppy petting zoo and then be like, okay, second idea. I guess we could auction myself off to some hot girl in the audience.
Like you, you knew all along. You guys decide one of those two. Right. No, I did not have the auction idea.
I'd never heard of this.
Honestly, I was like, are we sure we could do this?
I feel like it's a very saved by the bell thing to do.
I mean, I got in trouble at that school for the tiniest thing.
I made a Twitter parody account.
I got called to the dean's office.
You know, I'm getting in trouble left and right.
So I'm like, are you sure?
But sell men?
No problem.
Yeah.
I'm like.
Men of the night is what you guys call yourselves.
Yeah.
Because it'd be nighttime.
Yeah.
Sell men of the night.
And we're chivalrous like knights.
So it's men of the night with a k no no yeah whatever you're gonna say don't say
that was not fair you set me up for that okay no i don't even know what you're gonna say but
more k's but okay uh okay okay there it is so i don't remember the details but i just remember
like not really knowing this girl
very well.
I knew her twin sister.
There might've been a little confusion.
Honestly, I'm like, who was even buying me?
Identical twins.
You understand.
Look, I've always, yeah.
What did I say when I came up with this idea?
No identical twins.
All right.
I look like an idiot up here.
I called her the wrong name.
And so, yeah, I knew her twin sister better.
And so I was like, oh, that's cool.
Like, and yeah, I really don't remember many details.
I can.
Wow.
But it's more like, I think that was kind of our start.
Like, oh, fun.
Like, yeah, let's go get ice cream or something.
And she was like two years older than me. So I was like, I must have brought it up there on stage.
And yeah, we dated for a year.
That's awesome.
Is this the same girl that like you got not back
together with but you were in the car with yes Bruno Mars I should have bought you flowers
good memory dude yes it was nine months and three months so wow dude yeah boomerang back I just
remember those auction days oh wait you got back together with her that the Bruno Mars song brought
us back together it was oh I thought I thought the Bruno Mars song was like uh like this this
thing that was not real.
It was like she was thinking that you were trying to tell her something, but not real.
And I wasn't trying to tell her something, but it just happened that we did spend one-on-one time in the car that night, got to talk.
So Bruno still worked.
Yeah, it still got the job done.
Got the job done.
Got a newer, improved auction.
Oh, man.
That's fun.
We should talk about your dating life more often, Jake.
Just kidding.
Basketball game was fun.
Oh, God.
No, we really did.
I can't remember that.
That's amazing.
We really did dominate them.
I think we're going to be very good this year in basketball.
Did you stick around to see the two teams playing after us?
No.
I hope they are in the advanced league.
Really?
Yeah, they looked different than us.
That's okay.
And I mean that.
I'm in like preseason form as far as shape goes.'ll get there it's huge really sounds like oh well we have
rustin well huge people don't make threes all the time yeah so we have a
lot of 510 white guys a lot so we should be fine exclusively yeah almost
primarily yeah but yeah it was fun um try think what else happened that I oh
this has never happened before this prior six time playing in a season or in
a league these people and before and This is probably our sixth time playing in a season or in a league with these people.
And before, they're like, all right, guys, everybody in the center.
They were just killing time, right?
And then, I mean, this ref just chooses to basically describe the rules of basketball for 10 minutes.
Yeah, we had James Naismith up there.
He's like, hey.
So you take this ball, you bounce it.
If you pick it up, you can't bounce it again.
No, he didn't do that.
That's called a double bounce or a double dribble.
I'll go like this. I'll go like this. That means you double bounced, even though you're
not supposed to know, but yeah, he was weird. And I was in the inner circle, so I couldn't do much,
but Brad is behind me and just make a sarcastic comment left and right. And I was like, man,
that looks fun. And you know what? That was completely, that was audience of one. And the
audience was Jake. So I was like, Jake's the only one that can really hear that Scott. Every once
in a while heard me, but like, I was like, I know I can be loud enough where like it's not gonna be disruptive
But like I know Jake will appreciate these things I'm saying because what did he get saying?
He's like now this isn't really a rule
But one of the things that I like to do and it was just like this weird really subjective way of
He's like she's like a basketball playing good basketball. I'm not gonna call it. It's like, huh?
He's like I've never heard of that
Like if you have two on one and you don't pass the ball if you go for a layup and the guy fouls you i'm not
gonna call it because that's not good basketball i was like what he's like you need to you know
like yeah whatever like stuff like that like if you're if you're if you're trying to like foul
the guy on purpose i'm not gonna call it i'm not gonna call it because that's not good basketball
i'm like so i can go tackle this guy peter casey style and it's not a big deal because it's not
good basketball.
Yeah.
One of the first plays of the game to like something happened.
And I think you're like, Isaac, it didn't look enough like a basketball move.
You would've got the call.
You got to look like more like a basketball player.
Okay.
It's got to look like basketball.
Yeah.
That was so interesting.
And then he also was like, guys, what they go around here.
We love reviews.
So if I did a bad job, give me a review.
If I did a good job, you know, give me a review.
That's how we get better.
That's how we get better. Yeah. So I was like, okay, I was just
letting him know all night. That's, that's gotta be in your review. Did you say that? I mean,
always jokingly. Most of the time when they'd have a good call, like you're going to hear about that
in the review. That was a great call. We should start, uh, like yelling to the sideline, like,
Oh, Hey, eight minutes, 38 seconds. Good call. Yeah. Like just like get it annotated. Yeah.
Right. The whole thing. Write that down. Yeah. So it's. Yeah. Like just like get it annotated. Yeah. Right. The whole thing.
Write that down.
Yeah.
So it's very interesting.
Like referee situation.
Interaction.
Yeah.
But yeah,
it was really fun.
Really looking forward to Monday night again.
And Hattie came.
Hattie came.
Hattie and Scott's sister,
Scott's daughter.
And then Garrett's whole family came,
which was fun.
I didn't realize, dude, that Garrett's
sister is the girl that she's married to Joel. Yes. And Joel was like your Dallas Brad. Yeah.
We were roommates briefly and he was just so great. So fun. Knew the office really well.
I had no idea that that was a connection. So like, that's how you originally connected with
him in Dallas. Garrett Gibson is my connection to Duncan and Josh. Like when I tell that story
and be like, yeah, I was making these videos on the side. And like this guy, this random guy in
Dallas hits me up. We had literally one mutual friend on Facebook. It was Garrett. It was such
a loose connection. It was like, because he hit you up though. Josh hit me up directly. Okay.
Because, because of Joel, because of Joel who knew me from Garrett. Wow. Okay. Cause Josh and Joel
were going to the same church in Dallas. So they were already friends and then got you in on it.
Yeah. Just crazy.
Oh yeah.
There's a few people in my life that I'll always be thankful for.
It's like Garrett Gibson, Ward Weeby, Matty Malloy, maybe one of my family members.
Okay, cool.
Cool.
Maybe one.
No.
Wait, I want to know more about all these things.
I mean, Ward Weeby just like gave me that opportunity to like at Canicuck to be on a
stage to like develop those characteristics.
And I've said before, like, I don't even know why they chose me like i'm just some boy i just
recently got auctioned off i'm not ready to go up on stage again you were a boy yeah yeah it was
unbelievable they gave me the opportunity like hey do you want to be in charge of all the parties
all the skits you know i was like i don't know what in the world i've done to earn this so i owe
him a lot and maddie malloy was the one who i knew from CannaCuck who went to OSU with Trey
and made a point to introduce me to him
before I left Kansas City.
Okay.
And that opened some doors.
I think so.
I think you're doing all right because of that.
Cool.
Who was, is that the three?
You just said three?
Yeah, Ward Weavey, Matty Malloy, Garrett Gibson.
Okay.
That's fun.
Yeah.
No Brad Ellis, huh?
Okay.
Actually.
Yeah.
Find it.
No, I already thought of it. i will tell everyone at f12 oh
yeah okay yeah tell me though right now okay i was kidding i need it i need it i need to wipe
i can't wipe i need it jackson i'm not wiping you oh Oh, man. Yeah, but Hattie was fun.
We actually went to Culver's afterwards, just her and I.
Nice.
I went to Minsky's.
That's fun, too.
Which I saw on your list.
It's your favorite Kansas City pizza.
Who knew?
I told you.
Oh.
I told you just the other day when you said you went to Minsky's.
I'm sorry.
I remember you getting-
And Trey goes, Minsky's isn't good.
I was like, you watch your mouth, Trey.
I remember you saying like, yeah, it's really thick.
I got caught up on the thickness and not about the bestness, I guess.
Yeah.
My bad.
Pervert.
I love, I caught it in an Office episode recently that Michael says to Toby, I never heard this
quote before.
He's like, I bet you like that when you perv ball.
The term perv ball is so funny.
I've been using it a lot.
It's something like that.
Like, we like that perv ball.
Do you remember whenever we did the Justin Bieber video and I called some girl a skeevy little perv?
Yeah.
Like some 16-year-old.
Okay, you skeevy little perv.
That's when you knew it wasn't good is whenever Jake took it out of.
Because I think I asked, like, what's your favorite thing about Justin Bieber?
And one girl said, like, his singing.
And the other girl was like.
His abs?
Yeah.
Okay.
Skeevy little perv abs yeah okay that's funny dude i was uh
i got peacock recently and it comes to those like super fan episodes it's got the deleted scenes
there was one deleted scene that made me laugh out loud recently it's the money problems episode
you know monkey problems i would have monkey problems no oscar and him sit down in the
conference room it's during like your presentation tool it's that whole scene and this scary black
bar is things that no one spends money on so it's's all that. And then Oscar's like, I hate to ask this, but do you have any
money in like retirement you could take out of to get out of this? And Michael's like, I have money
in CDs. And Oscar's like, oh, that's awesome. And what portfolio are they in? And he's like,
it's in a portfolio called Case Logic. And Oscar's like, Case Logic, Case? And he's like, it's in a portfolio called Case Logic.
And Oscar's like, Case Logic, Case Logic.
He's like, where is that located?
He's like, there is one in the backseat of my car. And I think there's some in the glove box.
And then Oscar starts to slowly realize, like, oh, my gosh.
And then he cuts to talking to Michael.
And he's like, all of my life, I've just heard, put money into CDs.
That's what I've been doing.
I put money into CDs.
That's great.
Sometimes I don't even like the music. And that made me laugh out loud i was like i
cannot believe that's a great scene that's so funny i mean ashanti i i wonder how much shanti
do you know about her yeah she's performing this week what no i don't know this i can't believe
you just pulled that out of your head i did because before we were the chiefs game she's
doing the ashanti yes she's doing the national anthem i can't believe you just pulled that out
right now maybe maybe like subconsciously i read it somewhere but i i truly don't like remember that
this is like i was about to say alia and i changed it to ashanti that's that's amazing that's crazy
because trey and i were talking to morgan this morning she's surely over like who's doing
halftime show she's like this so i haven't said which means it's probably someone pretty big
she's like but star spiegel banner ashanti like, wait, this is the last time you've heard of Ashanti doing anything.
Last time I saw her, she was acting in Coach Carter.
Yeah, right.
Like, yeah, she was probably in a 90s sitcom
at some point getting auctioned off.
You know?
She wanted to ride with you, you know?
Yeah.
Away.
Once you paid for her.
That's crazy.
I can't believe this is like,
correct opinion.
That's deja, that deja vu.
Did I do it?
Did I do it? Did I boo Dej. Did I do it? Did I do it?
Did I buy it?
Did I buy the dash?
Dash coin?
Dash coin?
Deja vu coin?
To the moon?
Ashanti?
No cap?
Correct opinions this week, but this is kind of the same thing.
I listened to the first five minutes.
It's okay.
I'll tell you about the best part.
Okay.
I was talking about, oh, I think Trey was like, who's on your basketball team? I was like, it was going to be Peter. Now it's this guy. He's like, oh part okay i was talking about oh i think trey
was like who's on your basketball team i was like it was gonna be peter now it's this guy he's like
oh peter he's your realtor right and uh i was like yeah yeah he's my realtor but he can't play
anymore he's like he's the uh he's your assist guy and i don't know i was like maybe he's talking
about basketball like he's your assist guy and i was like oh what and he's like he's your assist
guy and i was like wait how do you know he's like what he's your assist guy. And I was like, wait, how do you know?
And he's like, well, he's just your realtor. So he's like, you know, he's got his, he's assist
you. And I was like, why would he call it that? I know it was the craziest thing. Cause I was
like, oh, is that your plumber? No, that's my, uh, that's my drain pipe guy. What? So the whole
time he keeps saying the word assist. And all I could think about is like, and so then I just say,
how do you know that Peter has assist? Did we make this joke?
Sorry.
Did we make this joke?
Like the three of us one time?
I don't know.
I think we did maybe.
I don't know.
Either way,
Trey Clemson had no idea.
And I'm like,
how do you know that Peter had assist?
He's like,
what are you talking about?
He has assist on his body.
Here's what I think happened.
Here's what I think happened. We were talking about all the people that were playing and Trey,
if he is on a screen is five percent there pretty locked into the screen
two and a half maybe and so i bet he was not listening to us at all about peter's cyst and
then we made a joke about yeah he's the guy that's going to give us the assist he looks up
here's assist he's like oh peter must not be a shooter i guess peter's the assist guy i i think
that's something subliminally in there that's funny deep of the
brain either way it was a great moment on the pot it's like the ashanti thing it was like wait do
you know no you don't know i have no idea well let me boo your days real quick let's let's start
doing that as a verb hey i'm gonna boo your days real quick hey real quick uh hold on kind of like
rock your world oh yeah knock your socks off about to boo your days yeah because it's not quite deja
vu which is like this crazy coincidence. Right. Quinky dink.
Yeah.
Anyway.
A lot of energy.
A lot of energy.
So far, we are pretty far into this and not really talked about most of what I had written down.
I don't.
Let's see.
What else happened?
Oh, Scott Sell, Scott Peck and I, we're texting today.
Sure.
And we are offering up a pickleball bounty.
Oh, my gosh.
We've got to make this public.
It's over.
I'm going to win.
Go ahead.
If anyone can beat Scott and I that morning that we're going to play pickleball,
10 a.m. to noon, the day of F12 at SW19, off 103rd, the old US Toei building.
You guys know it.
You know.
If anyone can beat Scott and I in a game of doubles, just one game to 11,
not even best of three.
One game. One game to 11, we'll give you $500.
No way.
Bring it on.
No way.
That makes it more fun.
$500?
I don't know.
Okay.
I'm not going to argue.
I'm just going to beat you.
Who's going to be your partner?
Isaac.
Great.

Five punch? Oh my gosh. I'm going to be practicing for this. I'm going to do is have a few bad bounces. Five hooks?
Oh, my gosh.
I'm going to be practicing for this.
I'm going to forego everything else about F12 just to get in pickleball shape.
You come up on stage and perform that night still sweaty.
So I don't have a ton of rent down.
I'm very sore.
You've got ice bags on your knees.
It's like, man, it is hot in here.
I'm just going to wave those Benjamins in front of your face.
$500.
That's not coming out of the ghost runners fund.
Don't you dare.
Don't you,
don't you do that to me?
Oh man.
Okay.
Yeah.
The gauntlet has been dropped.
Just make a little more fun.
What if I,
uh,
message Ben Johns?
I say,
Hey,

I'll pay,
I'll pay $300 for you to come out here.
Then I would expect to get a,
I would expect to,
for you to have a lot of balls hit your way.
I would, I would sit in the back. I wouldn wouldn't even i would literally be crisscross applesauce
satchel page style i would say go ahead go ahead benjamin do your worst yeah if it came to me i
would smack it back think yep oh wow i haven't played pickleball in i don't remember the last
time and that's why i feel good about the 500 nope that's why you should be not good so there's something i'm just gonna take you off your rhythm bring it on okay just you know

We're going Chick-fil-A afterwards.
Calorie competition.
Yeah.
Let's just say if you can eat $500 worth of food, I'll give it to you for $450.
No, that's a good deal.
Businessman.
Yeah.
Real quick, I just want to give a quick shout out.
I was on a golf podcast this week, which is kind of fun.
It's called T-Talk.
Yeah.
With Stefan.
Steph.
Well, just Steph.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So if you're interested in golf or hearing me talk about golf, I was on there for probably 30 minutes or so.
Yeah.
Sorry.
Go ahead.
So just check it out.
I was on this past week's episode, T-Talk.
What was the percentage of golf to not golf talk oh it was almost primarily golf and they
almost primarily it was fun they compared it to like i guess there's a thing in golf where like
even if you don't make like the tour you can get like a sponsor's exempt exemption where someone
just pays for you to like go and like be in the tour or something like that or at least some
tournament i don't know if it's a tour yeah but they were comparing that to kind of my road to
comedy i was like that sounds absolutely kind of what I'm doing.
Like I haven't gone the traditional route.
It's like Trey, Trey.
Yeah.
Burrowed most of the way through the hole.
And he's like, here you go, kid.
Have a pickaxe and just barely hit it.
I was like, oh, I love dig dug.
Yeah.
I would love to do that.
100%.
So it was fun.
They ask good questions.
They, they each told a joke and I got to grade it.
Okay.
A golf joke.
Oh, they were golfers.
I don't know if it's going to end up in my set at any point.
Yeah.
You have to be really into golf to listen to somebody talk about golf
with no video to me.
I would think so as well.
What's an example of,
do you remember something you talked about in golf?
Like, hey, how about that swing?
You guys can imagine it.
You go three or four iron whenever it's, you know, the sand wedges.
I would love to hear you talk about golf.
I would love to be on that podcast next, Steph.
And I would love to try to make up my way through it.
See how long people try to get a sponsor's exemption.
Well, one of the reasons that they kind of incentivized me to come on the podcast
or like send us your swing.
One of the guys, you know, Steph was like, my co-host is like a,
like a pro like golf coach or whatever.
A swingologist.
Yeah.
So he's like, we'll take a look at your swing diagnosis.
I was like, okay, great.
Didn't know they were going to diagnose it live on the podcast.
I was like, oh, I would have assumed that.
Everyone gets to hear how bad my swing is.
Cool, cool, cool, cool.
Did they say it was really bad?
No, I was just going into it.
I was like, oh, geez, this is about to be public i think we're gonna diagnose your singing voice uh i was gonna
tell you everything you're missing yeah right so no that was cool but i don't know if it was
interesting for other people to hear my specific swing but um it was great cool i'm so fired up to
go to the driving range tomorrow 57 degrees get me out there 54 degrees whatever it's gonna stay
i'll use 54 degree um just want to say that shot them out real quick. 54 degree golf club.
Yep.
That is a wedge.
That was a joke.
Okay.
Okay.
Yep.
A wedge.
My week has been great.
Um,
another normal week.
I feel like enough things are happening to me on a weekly basis.
I don't have much time for like not normal things.
So like,
yeah.
So yeah.
Monday's basketball,
Wednesday,
Thursday,
we have different classes that we're going to and multiple classes.
Yeah.
Tuesdays.
I'm kind of trying to carve out for like, that's Catherine's, you know, we're just going
to hang out, like be intentional with each other.
And then Fridays we got, you know, movie night up, up tonight.
Oh, first time she's seen it.
I went to up down last night.
What do you think of up down?
I put it on my list.
Oh, do you like it?
It's nice.
Did you play the Pac-Man game?
Yeah.
Just Pac-Man or the Pac-Man game. Do you remember the Pac-Man game that we play? Oh my gosh. Not, not, not Pac-Man. Oh. Do you like it? It's nice. Did you play the Pac-Man game? Yeah. Just Pac-Man or the Pac-Man game?
Do you remember the Pac-Man game that we played?
Oh my gosh.
Not Pac-Man.
Oh.
It's like the four-person Pac-Man.
Oh.
I kept walking by.
It was swamped.
People were on it all night.
It's because it's the best game.
I'll tell you the new best game.
I went with Garrett Gibson and his wife.
Okay.
P-Nasty.
P-Nasty.
Did you see that email she sent us probably two hours ago?
No.
She somehow just got a doc to start the podcast. She's like's like i'm so sorry to do this i ordered all the wrong stuff
it wasn't like the wrong sizes it was like i ordered a t-shirt i need a hat oh wait maybe
this is like a surprise for garrett maybe i shouldn't say this she doesn't get it so far
either way she brought garrett you're surprised you're getting the wrong stuff
and you know what she ruined a surprise for me last night now i think about it so good you know
what oh i hope this is a surprise yeah gotcha uh i'll tell you about that afterwards but
um two games that are so much fun they have a track and field game where it's like legitimately
there's a tiny bit of athleticism because it's like all right first event is uh just 100 meter
dash okay and so it's like you have a left foot and a right foot button so you're just i mean
are you even looking up at the screen at this point yeah
oh i could tell i did that a lot of time my forearms are sore and then there's like hurdles
there's like javelin you know so you're trying to throw and then the angle of the throw real fun is
it old school game or is it new very old school and then the other game which i do not remember
them having last time i was there there's a joystick on the left side a joystick on the
right side they can only go up or down no left or right movement and what this is doing is moving
like a metal bar that goes horizontally across the screen in front of you this can be hard to
describe your joystick will move your side of the middle bar up or down okay there's a marble
resting on the metal bar there's holes everywhere like wooden holes and it'll tell you which hole
to get the marble in oh i kind of remember of remember this, like a game like this.
I'd never seen it.
And I think it's supposed to be a one player game, but it's way more fun when you and Garrett are screaming at each other.
Down, down, down, up, up, up, down, down, down.
Oh, it was so fun.
Okay.
And then eventually my joystick broke or else I would have been there until this morning.
Your joystick broke?
Yep.
Like fell off?
No, it just couldn't go down anymore.
Okay.
Bummer.
So it's just up like the movie
there you go that's that's what made you think of it no yeah so yeah go to uptown
jenkins city it's a barcade do you agree did you see my uh suggestion on updown where i said
uh buy less tokens than you think you need last night was 10 cent token night which frustrated
me that it wasn't called dime night i I was like, that's so wordy.
LOL.
Is this really happening for real in this game?
Um,
did you use all your tokens or did you leave some behind?
Cause I've never been where I've used all my tokens.
That's a funny tip to give someone.
It's just,
I've been there. Like I haven't been in a ton four or five times.
And every single time I'm like,
we have so many tokens.
Let's just put them over here.
Let's go.
Like,
it's like,
I'm done a needy kid. Yeah. Because it's like one token per game and yeah their tokens are usually a
quarter and so it's like yeah very cheap but did you use other tokens we use other tokens good for
you you used other tokens okay so take that as you will this is fun this is a fun zone um i have
a shout out as well you shout them out baby uh i bought, I like to support the Ghost Runners merch.
And so I bought my own Ghost Runners merch a couple of weeks ago.
And it's the one, it's that fleece hoodie.
You were there whenever I got it.
It's like this, it's like this hoodie.
That's like basically inside out, like the way it looks.
It's like the fleece is on the outside and the non-fleece is on the inside.
So it's like inside out.
Like, so like the, I'm just kidding.
No, but it's just, it's, it's awesome. But it's, I, I ordered my usual double XL and it is so big
like the hood, like this hood right here that I have, which granted I'm putting it over
headphones, but like goes to my forehead, this hood, I'm not even joking, goes like down to my
chin. Like it's huge. And like the whole thing's just big to the point where I was kind of disappointed at first because I was like, ah, I don't really want to wear this out
in public. It's like way too big. And now it's just become the ultimate sleep shirt. Yeah. And
I sleep like a baby every single night now. Like a little kangaroo in a pouch. And I've,
I genuinely, before I got it was like having a little bit of a hard time sleeping some nights
and I'm serious, dude. I'm serious. This is cause I, cause you know me, it's been well-documented. I like to wear stocking caps
sometimes. Haven't done that in a while. Uh, but I do put on hoodies and I put the hood up sometimes.
Yeah. And this one's like a hood and a sleep mask in one. Cause it like literally goes
over, over the face. So, yeah, I mean, this is casual apparel, um, you know, street wear apparel,
sleep mask and sound machine.
All in one.
And sleeping robe.
It's amazing.
So I don't know.
I'm going to post it on our merch store again.
Just like this is the softest.
Market it like that.
I don't know.
Yeah.
Give some kind of discount to people, the first 25 people to order or something.
Because it's amazing.
Guaranteed to have the best sleep of your life or your money back.
Forget the mattress companies.
Yeah, Right.
Um, do I notice this week I'm really turning into a homeowner, like I'm not even a homeowner. I'm
turning into a mom is what I'm turning into. You said the other day that you vacuumed and you were
like excited about it on the Patreon video. Oh yeah. Yeah. I went to town vacuuming Saturday
and then I got back from something Sunday and I just, I had the mom thought I was like,
this house is filthy. I, I mean, I just vacuumed. How was this? How are we tracking all
this in? Yeah. So I grabbed the vacuum when I went to town again, Sunday vacuum back to back days.
Uh, it's so, it's funny that I'm like adapting into that. And it's like, now that I picked up
all my clothes, I don't have a single garment on the floor. Yeah. And so now it's like, I really
want to keep it that way. Nothing. Dude. It's a great feeling. It's like, yeah, because it's so much easier to maintain once it's like just one thing
at a time.
Oh my gosh.
When I have a clean room, clean laundry and my phone's at a hundred percent, I am unstoppable.
I mean, there is nothing getting in my way.
Welcome Jake.
Welcome to my world.
It's so true.
And then you make your, start making your bed.
I did once last week.
And?
Not bad. Yeah? Not bad.
Yeah?
Yeah.
Not bad.
It looks pretty good, babe.
It takes a phenomenal amount less time than I always imagined.
Like, I don't really have time to make my bed.
It takes like 25 seconds.
Oh, yeah.
It's silly.
Especially if you pre-make it.
Remember my hack?
You spread out?
Yes.
Spread eagle.
And just like, because whenever you're in your bed, it's pretty much made.
Like the way your blankets are. It's just kind of shimmy on out of that thing and just put because whenever you're in your bed it's pretty much made like
the way your blankets are it's just kind of shimmy on out of that thing and just put it down
not too bad not too bad yeah i like sitting on a on a maid bed it's 100 i don't necessarily get
more excited to go to sleep in a maid bed but it's like it's nice like let me just sit down
real quick well it's like yeah yeah let me let me go check my text real quick in and you're in
your room it's so much more inviting to like sit on your bed. Yeah. I got the Glade plugin going. I mean, it's just fun to, that's what I did. Used to be a door
closer, but now I'm really trying to culminate some good smells in there. It's like close the
door. I don't want to try to ventilate the house. Yeah. Yeah. Only my room gets this.
Do you know what scent you went with? Blue. Is it clean linen? Blue blast? No, I don't know.
I love clean linen. It might be clean linen. I know my car has. I know my car has, yeah, that's what it's called.
My car is clean linen.
It's so good.
It's great.
Yeah.
Not totally what I would consider clean linen, but whatever it is, I like it.
Yeah.
I mean, whatever linen you grew up with is a little different than this clean linen.
But also, how do they even get, actually, never mind.
I was going to like, how do they get smells?
I don't even want to go down that rabbit hole of like trying to find how you doctor up a
smell.
Don't look it up.
It'll make you never want to do it again.
It's like watching how they make the chicken nuggets. So just be careful. It'll make you never want to do it again. It's like watching how they
make the chicken nuggets. So just be careful. It'll turn you off afterwards. I want to hear,
I want to, I want to hear updates every week about how you're evolving more ownership because,
because that's like so relatable to me. And I think it's relatable to so many people like that.
I'm just starting to settle in a little bit. Cause like I said, I think a long time ago,
like when I was like excited, you know, like people were excited that were married and
young homeowners are like, what kind of, what kind of washer did you get? You know, like stuff like
that, you know, like stuff like that. Like, it's like, it's like, we like talk like, Oh,
is it front loader or top loader? You know, like all these different things.
I didn't have room for a top loader. I had to go front loading, which is fine. It's still fine.
But I think, I mean, top loading is nice. It is nice. It is nice. Anyway, it's just like stuff
like that where it's like, who cares until you care?
You know, it's like, it's like, oh.
I'll tell you what I've been doing lately.
I don't know how long this has been out.
I don't know if this is a new invention or if I just discovered it.
Like fabric beads, like these little crystals that you throw in your washer.
Is this a new thing?
I'm not a big washer.
You're not laundry boy.
I'm not a big laundry boy, but I think it's not a new thing.
Okay. I mean, like not new.
I'm so bad with years that it could be five years old.
It could be 10 years old. You think it's, it post dates the ipod yes okay okay i think so newer post
dates meaning yeah newer than the ipod yeah yeah okay so i've been trying that out just
throw some crystals in there yeah i don't know how much it helps but i convince myself it helps
i bet it's so fun oh yeah right now i got you want me to keep going i got three different
brands going on absolutely i got tide detergent keep going. I got Tide Detergent.
Okay.
And then I got like Dawn, Donnie Fabric Crystals.
And then I got Gain Dryer Sheets.
I really think I'm going to, you know, hit my stride, really get my fastball back once
we've got a unilateral brand.
You think so?
Yeah, I think that's going to really make me feel better.
This doesn't cross-pollinate very well.
I think you need to go a two-syllable thing.
Like you got Dawn, Gain, and whatever. Tide. Tide. Tide. Like you got to get make me feel better. This doesn't cross-pollinate very well. I think you need to go a two-syllable thing. Like, you got Don, Gain, and whatever.
Tide.
Tide.
Like, you got to get two-syllable in there.
Downy.
Downy, that's what it's called.
I said Don or Donny.
That's the dish soap, I think.
Oh, okay, okay, okay.
What's the paper towels?
Bounty.
Bounty.
These are all similar, guys.
They're tricky.
They might also make paper towels.
They do a lot of things.
Downy.
Okay. Don, Donny, Downy. These are all interchangeable to me're tricky. They might also make paper towels. They do a lot of things. Downy. Okay.
Don, Donny, Donny.
These are all interchangeable to me.
I don't even know.
Did you ever get a trash can?
Trash cans in the building, baby.
We got a trash can.
Okay.
Isaac said he came home one day and our neighbor was taking our trash cans from the road back
to our garage.
That's a good neighbor.
Well, I feel like she's already taken care of us.
I feel like she already is embarrassed
that we're living here.
Probably.
I didn't like it.
Oh, you didn't like it?
You took it personal.
Yeah, I was like, Pam.
Yeah.
I've been taking care of this.
You don't need to like white me.
You know, I could do this on my own.
I've been doing this for a while.
What time of day was it?
Afternoon.
She was like, I don't want it out there.
I'm tired of looking at it.
It's been two hours.
Where are they located?
Next door?
No, I'm sorry.
The bins.
Because some cities have rules that you can't see them.
They can't be visible.
Oh, mine are on the side of the house.
That's where they were when I bought the house.
That's where I'm going to put them back.
Yeah, as long as Pam can't see them.
Pam can't see them.
Out of Pam's sight.
Good.
Well, that's been a fun topic.
Football and laundry.
Oh, yeah. This is what i wanted to mention i was telling katherine you know how she was at the chiefs game she's like
how was your weekend been i was like yesterday i went full domestic i mean i cleaned my entire room
i yeah go ahead just remind me what i what garrett just texted me garrett perkins sweet i was like i
went you know domestic mode and i um was like, I went, you know, domestic mode and I, um, was like cleaning. I was
vacuuming, I was laundering all this stuff. And Hattie, who I didn't even know was listening.
She goes, wow, that's a lot of stuff. And I was like, thank you, Hattie. It is, that is for me.
That's I don't normally do that. She goes, that's a miracle. I was like, okay, I don't know what we
need to call a miracle that I vacuumed. But dude, she is such an encourager though.
Like she, she pumps me up so much.
Like we have a Kooligan water tank, you know, that we drink our water out of.
And I had to change them out today and I was bringing in the new one on my shoulder.
And she's like, wow, dad, you are so strong.
Wow.
That's awesome.
Thank you.
It's just nice to like, no, you know, you're an encouraging person
I feel like she knows me better than what it seems
You know what reminds you of when I call long boards to order my burrito
I ordered the same thing every time it's the Cabo chicken wrap and every almost every time no matter who is taking my order
Like and it's like they know me and they know that I'm typically a picky eater
I don't know how they got to know this about me like and you uh, you want everything on that? I'm like, yeah
Yeah, I just feel like every time they're like this guy sounds like a w uh you want everything on that i'm like yeah yeah i just feel like every
time they're like this guy sounds like a wimpy little eater like this this guy doesn't like he
normally yeah he normally takes the tomatoes off i think and that's how i feel about hattie too i'm
like she knows that this is a big step for me yeah she's yeah she's hilarious man what if garrett
texts you okay you're gonna love this because it's one of those things that i maybe a year ago
would have thought like i don't know that's kind of a legit question maybe but now it's like you're going to love this because it's one of those things that I maybe a year ago would have thought like, I don't know, that's kind of a legit question maybe,
but now it's like, you're going to laugh so hard. He said,
what are the chances you know, Mr. Beast, the YouTuber?
I don't. Okay. So first and foremost,
Mr. Beast is one of the biggest YouTubers in the world. I would never, I don't,
I don't know if I've ever watched a single Mr. Beast video.
I don't think I know what he looks like but he's got millions upon millions of subscribers
like i know he does he does huge things it'd be like me being like garrett i know i know you're
uh i know you're in books you live in arkansas book fulfillment do you know bill clinton yeah
yeah yeah you're both in arkansas i was gonna be like yeah i know you do book fulfillment
any chance you know j.K. Rowling?
I don't know.
I mean, same industry. What are the chances?
Mr. Beast.
I just looked it up.
He has 89 million subscribers.
No way.
I would have guessed 10 million.
I mean, I don't even need to look it up.
I know he's by far the biggest channel in America.
He's past Dude Perfect.
I think he's the second biggest channel in the world.
Maybe third biggest channel in the world.
I mean, he's massive.
I mean, he has a budget sometimes of over a million dollars per video what i mean he is he is like a hollywood studio
in and of himself i mean he's got channel after channel after channel that he started that
mr beast philanthropy 7 million subscribers mr beast gaming 25 million subscribers mr beast
reacts 15 million subscribers mr beast shorts it's a little channel just dedicated to 60 second
relation yes 12 million subscribers mr beast 2 that has 5 million subscribers i. B shorts so you know just dedicated to 60 second rush yes 12 million subscribers mr. beast 2 that has 5 million subscribers I
mean this guy's a machine the crazy thing is to not you know what are the
odds well I can imagine myself laughing and making fun of him he goes well I
just got a book deal with him or something that'd be funny you know the
crazy thing to me is that I bet I don't know like maybe we'll put this on our story or something.
Six out of 10 people listening, seven out of 10 would not even know who he is. If you said,
maybe, maybe they've said, I've heard of Mr. Beast, but if you show a picture and say,
do you know who this person is? I have no idea. It's like, he is the most profitable,
most famous YouTuber in America. You're like, huh? Or as like D-list celebrity that's on in movies.
It's like, yeah, I know who that guy is timothy
chalamet yeah no timothy chalamet is even bigger like i'm i don't know who would it be mario lopez
or something everyone knows mario we can go smaller yeah way smaller what's the guy that's
the guy who played gary bartir and roe titans is that too small that's too small uh what's the
guy's name josh something oh that's randy too big too big I'm D list
what's this guy's name oh that's this is the first guy I thought of it that's a
strong tea no Josh Gad you know that is oh yeah yeah I like him Josh Gad's a
great celebrity yeah yeah but I bet more people would recognize Josh Gad then mr.
beast who's the guy that they said i look like his husband last
week new patrick harris in ph new patrick harris's husband yeah yeah yeah that's a d lister oh man
that's a funny text garrett what are the chances you know mr beast and he didn't even text both of
us he just texted me he's like brad's probably got a better chance man i wish brad brad you've
been doing youtube videos for like nine months,
and you almost have 100,000 subscribers.
Have you?
I bet Mr. Beast is knocking on your door, huh?
I'm not saying have you made a video, but have you been in talks?
Have you communicated with his team?
Dude, I got recognized twice this week, at least, that I can think of.
Jeez.
Once this morning at McLean's.
I just go to McLean's, and I say, talk to me about my videos and put it on the table. Um, this guy came up to me, name's Ray. He's like, do I love
your videos, man? I was like, thank you so much. And, uh, we already shook hands whenever he said
that. And this was so awkward. He's like, uh, my name is Ray, by the way. And I'm like, okay,
I'm Brad. And I, I go out to shake his hand again why did i do that and he doesn't he doesn't
reciprocate so i'm just like i'm brad like literally hanging like this like pretending
to shake a you know ghost hand non-existent hand um but then at my biblical citizenship class the
other day here we go uh this woman comes up to me she says are you she she talked to katherine
and i both she's like are you guys ellis custom creations are? Yeah. Because I think she thought it was like a true,
like Catherine and I both did it together.
And I was like, yeah, we are.
Like I am, you know, whatever.
And she's like, I follow you on Instagram.
That's the first time I've ever been recognized only as a woodworker.
Yes.
So that was kind of fun.
She's like, I don't know why or how I followed you.
Maybe Luke should talk to you about how to brand his business.
I would say, yeah.
You haven't used the golden retriever method and you're getting recognized.
Wait, who?
Luke?
Labrador Luke. Labrador Luke. I would say, yeah. You haven't used the golden retriever method and you're getting recognized. Wait, who? Luke? Labrador Luke.
Labrador Luke.
LabradorLuke.com.
Could talk to you.
Yeah.
Anyway, I got a haircut this week.
It looked good.
Looks good.
It could be past tense.
It was on Sunday that you got it.
Good.
Thank you.
Yeah.
I went into Great Clips.
Great spot.
If you guys have never been,
put it on the bingo card.
Gotta go to Great Clips if you're in town.
Is that the one where they have Clips notes?
I don't know.
No?
What does that mean?
It's like they...
Oh, it prints off like a receipt.
Yeah, they have this.
I don't know what it's called.
It prints off a receipt?
It looks like a receipt, but it's like what you got last time.
Oh.
So you just have it for yourself?
No, they...
I thought it was in their database.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
They print it off for me. I think that's a great idea. Not bad. Yeah. Love Great Clips just because it for yourself no they put like i thought it was in their database yeah yeah yeah they print it off for me i think that's a great idea not bad yeah love great clips just because
it's so popular and it's just so easy to find one so whatever it's like convenient pretty below
average haircut yeah just in and out look i'll let the pomade do the rest i just need to make
it shorter sorry i know you're going to talk more about great clips than what about to divulge and
go in the other direction but how do you feel about women cutting a man's hair i i don't trust him as much really not trying to be sexist just
saying i feel like well i don't know great clips though it's like almost exclusively men getting
their hair cut there probably i'll tell you what it's almost exclusively 12 year old boys yes
because that's who i was in line behind and in front of like braxton trevor and then jake you guys are next up braxton just real
quick just out of curiosity what are the chances you know david dobrik you watch his videos yeah
come on um oh that reminds me i got a dm actually no let's stay focused okay uh great clips yeah i
think i don't mind the lady cutting my hair okay i just don't want her to call me hon i want to get
old enough to where i'm not being called babe and hun and sweetie.
Oh my gosh.
Because they're like younger than me.
That reminds me.
I can't remember exactly.
Where was I?
I think I was at a restaurant or something.
Nice.
And it was, you know, it's like a classic, like you call them sweetie or hun or something.
This girl called me something so like beyond that.
And I can't believe i didn't write it down
uh let me try and guess thank you lily petal no sunflower seed yes beer trimmings beer nose plug
no chicken pot pie no hairdo what did she call me it was like something like a pretty common
like like pet name for something hey pork chop
little igneous rock call If she called me pork chop,
I would actually love that.
What's up incisor?
Oh,
it's going to kill me though.
Like,
like it was like,
it wasn't soulmate,
but it was like something like,
like just a little too deep of a cut.
Like it wasn't sweetheart or sweetie.
Soup snake.
Oh my gosh.
Whatever.
If,
if you see it in the YouTube comments,
you'll know that I figured it out.
That's going to kill me, dude. I'm sorry. You didn't write it but it was it was crazy it was like it was like what that's that's like violating me like I
feel like I need to tell Katherine this yeah Katherine doesn't talk to me like
that you know not anymore right oh whatever sorry I can't remember it
yeah shake it off yeah I'm trying but yeah I go into this great clips and as
soon as I walk in, they're like,
did you make an online appointment?
I was like, no, I'm just walking in.
And she goes, oh.
What?
I was like, oh, okay.
I mean, right away, just scoffing at me.
Just like the most pretentious Great Clips you've ever been to.
Yeah, just like this idiot.
Didn't even come in with his mom, clearly.
He didn't book an online appointment.
And she's like, well, we are looking at a three and a half hour wait.
And I was like, oh, I was like, good for you guys.
Yeah, really?
And she goes, I mean, it's the most popular haircut day of the week.
I was like, oh, nice. On Sunday?
Yeah, I was like, I didn't know the data.
Yeah, who knew?
Still, good for you guys.
And so left that exchange being weirdly frustrated by the saltiness coming from, you know, Gloria.
Did you just go to a different one and they were like, yeah, we're ready right now for you.
Fantastic Sam's.
I had the longest or the hardest time.
I mean, I called probably six different great clips in the area and it was just like two-hour wait, three-hour wait.
I was like, what?
Is this correlated with the Chiefs game?
Is this truly just a popular day to get your hair cut?
Like, it took me forever.
Yeah, I finally found what's only an hour away.
It's like, okay, I can go eat lunch.
I can go there.
I can hang out with 12-year-olds for about 15 minutes
where I get my haircut.
That'll be fun.
And then two things happen that I notice about haircuts.
One, and this is probably strictly just for guys
who have like medium to long hair.
I feel like as a hairdresser,
your job while cutting a man's hair
is to make him look as ugly as possible while cutting it.
Do you feel that?
Oh, like in the process.
Yeah, yeah, in the process.
They will dampen my hair.
They will get it soaking wet.
And then they will just comb it down to where it's in my eyes.
And I look like a mouse that just survived a drowning.
I'm looking at myself in the mirror being like, I don't want anything to do with this woman and these scissors.
I mean, look at what I look like right now. You know, I look like some animal that didn't make it through like a Holocaust or, you know, a Hiroshima bomb.
Shouldn't list extra or something.
Yeah.
And anyway, I'm like, well, end up being a pretty good haircut.
Tipped her $4, Brad, which is a good percentage of what the haircut costs.
Okay.
On the screen, on the touch screen.
Sorry, $4. What did you, what was the haircut? How much did the haircut cost okay on the screen on the touchscreen sorry four dollars what did you what was the haircut how much the haircut cost oh I
think 16 okay nice even 20 yeah that's why I always do too I'm like driving
home okay getting like the hair off or whatever and then realize she did not
shave the back of my neck dude that's the best that's the best how did I not
even realize it in the moment that is what you go that's the time you almost
fall asleep you're distracted by the guys doing the whoa in the waiting room.
They're doing the gritty over to my right.
I can't focus on neck shaving.
Yeah.
I couldn't believe it.
I was so, then I was more frustrated again.
I was like, I had to wait this long a time.
Did you go back?
No.
Come on.
What am I going to do?
Wait in line again?
No.
She, she gives you precedence at that point.
You, you get the kid up.
You pull them up.
There is no way I could go back into that store amidst middle school Maddox's of this world.
I'm like,
excuse me,
Amber,
you didn't shave my neck,
please.
So is it just unshaven?
It is unshaven.
I don't know what to do.
I mean,
I could probably just figure it out myself.
It's probably a pretty easy thing to do,
but it's just the service.
I've just known it's all cleaned up.
It's warm.
Sometimes they put a little,
a little butter on it.
It might be margarine.
I don't know. You could go to a bar butter on it it might be margarine i don't
know you go to a barber shop what about racist marv i don't want to talk about race
marv's racist but besides that he's awesome someone in the f12 facebook group was like
maybe bob the barber barber will come i was like is that marv no bill bill back in the day i used
to have oh hey brad how are you buddy bill's a great guy. Okay. Never. No slurs?
No racist bone in his body.
Yeah, guys.
Whatever.
I wasn't going to talk about this.
You don't have to.
I might find a new barber.
I left him a great five-star review like three months ago, though.
And now?
Now I'm like, I don't know.
Might be four and a half.
I'm just kidding.
Let's find one together because I need my neck shaved and I want to be amidst adults.
Okay.
Yeah.
That would be nice.
I just think a barber is so great.
And you feel like it's like, oh, this guy knows how to cut hair.
This guy knows.
And a lot of times they'll give you like the warm shaving cream on your face.
Whee.
Like one of my great clips I always ask like, and how do we want the sideburns today?
And I don't even know how to answer that question.
I mean, either because we don't have sideburns. We're deficient so i was like i always just go just even them up they're probably going pretty
uneven even them up what do you say when they ask now how do you want the back of your head
you want square or rounded they've never asked me that oh really i get asked every time square
or rounded that is there's two styles i guess You want the rat tail or the Lego block?
I don't know how to answer that question here. Cause I've never seen the back of my head. I've
never looked at anyone's back of their head. Don't do it. Don't do it. Once you do it,
you're ruined. Not as good looking as you think. You do like the three mirror thing. So you can
see everything. And you're like, Oh my gosh. I said he would see Pam or Karen's head from behind.
So I never know how to answer that.
And then the sideburns question, like, and what are we doing with the sideburns today?
I'm just like, whatever you think.
Defer to you.
I fold.
I'm out.
Just do like blackjack.
Have you ever been the guy that like brings a picture in?
I've never done that.
This is my dad.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So anyway, this is, this is my grandpa. He used to come in here. This is my dad. Yeah. Yeah. So anyway, this is my grandpa.
He used to come in here.
Maybe you recognize him.
No, just like people are like,
I want my hair to look like this guy.
I've never done that because I always think,
I've always heard I have Asian hair.
So I'm like, if I say I want to look like this guy,
I'm just going to look way worse than that guy.
I remember back in the day,
they used to have magazines
and you could pick out of a magazine what you wanted.
I do kind of remember that.
Back in the day,
only for maybe two or three haircuts but it was awesome
i had the nike swoosh uh shaved into the back of my head sure he did it was awesome and then i think
my parents also let me it like it like came out really quickly when i went swimming but they like
let the person like put a color in like the nike swoosh so it was like a red nike swoosh
it's so obnoxious how dope was i seven years old just with a nike swish sick dude i know right real quick let me ask you this are
you cold this time no dang it i always get so warm recording and this time i'm i'm afraid maybe
i'm getting sick i think i've had the chills for an hour and a half i feel i feel i when i walked
i'm gonna power through i'm gonna power through i'm not hot hot but i'm not like i'm very
comfortable dang it i was really hoping you were cold.
Now I think it's about a headache too.
Headache, chills.
Everything's a COVID symptom now.
Power through.
I'm fine.
It's true.
I'll go talk in a mirror later.
Okay.
Before I forget, there's some gifts that I've received from shows that I've forgotten to
give you, Brad.
Some recent, some not so recent.
A lot of adjectives right there.
Okay. not so recent a lot of adjectives right there okay um this was recently after i think we talked
about it on the podcast but my show in minneapolis um some very amazing fans got us a shirt this

Ellis Custom Creations
original launch what yeah
what a beautiful shirt this predates even the ghost runners merch this is just when
brad was selling his own t-shirts from his woodworking instagram so that's the design
yeah go ahead she said i wanted that shirt so bad and then i couldn't find anywhere it wasn't for
sale anymore um but i kind of have a little side hustle doing like a
t-shirt print shop. So I just like made your own recreated it and then gave it to my friend or
whatever, but I felt bad. So I wanted to give Brad one to even it out. So that's how it works.
Your own shirt. Yeah. Thanks for the shirt. Yeah. You're still getting a lawsuit. Just kidding.
That's awesome. I actually was like, that looks pretty sweet. I like this color. I mean,
it's comfort colors. It's the exact same shirt.
It's a different color.
Really?
But I like this green.
It's a little bit lighter green.
Anyway, that's fun.

I just heard you said you needed to get home by 430.
It's 430 right now.
I don't anymore.
So we can podcast all day.
Nice try, cold boy. I brad needs to get home so brad was saying no let's do some he picked it up early
oh cool let's do some voice memos great shall we yeah hi jake and brad my name is avery and i'm a
fairly new ghosty and this is my first time calling in i'm calling from south carolina to say
jake i am so sorry that your show in Durham was canceled,
but as a South Carolinian, I can confirm that is on par for us. We will cancel everything for almost
any threat of bad weather, including rain, snow, cold, and even wind. One time in band, we lost 30
minutes of rehearsal time because we had to hunker down in a hallway with no windows waiting for a tornado
to blow over. Except there was no tornado. It never got within a hundred miles of us and the sky was
blue and there was no wind at all. It was a very pretty day. Honestly, if the weather's anything
other than oppressively hot, we don't know what to do with ourselves. Quick question real quick.
If you guys could create one law to go into effect starting
tomorrow, what would it be? Thanks so much. Love the podcast. Thumb sum. Bye-bye. What'd you say
at the end? Thumb sum? Thumb sum? I think thumb sum. It's an Asian thing. Avery, I really like
the way you talk. Thumb sum. Very eloquent. A new law.
If you're a windshield wiper manufacturing company, you have to make one that covers the entire windshield.
You know what I'm talking about.
That little triangle at the bottom that never gets touched.
A windshield wiper.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
That's good.
That's a good law.
Can we not, you know.
And you need that.
You've always said like, sorry, man, I was trying to drive and I had to pull over because I couldn't see at the very bottom of my windshield lower 90
getting hit. Um, so there's one, Oh gosh, some law. Uh, this is one thing that I didn't even
really think about, um, before we did this, but we did a video on family vlogging and apparently
like there's like a decent amount of exploitation with kids and like getting blogged like with their families, which I don't, I don't
watch those things. So I don't know that, but I think there is maybe a law going with that already,
but like something about like, Hey, if your kid is making you a lot of money, I don't know. I don't
know how you like quantify that or whatever, but it just seems weird. It's like, okay, these parents
are clearly like trying to profit off their children, but it makes sure that the children are taken care of. I don't know. I don't know
something like that. Cause it's, yeah, it's just kind of, I had no idea until we made that video
and everyone was like, yes, thank you. Finally, somebody's talking about this. And I was like,
Oh wow. I didn't know we were making a commentary on this, I guess. Uh, so that's a good one.
That's a little, probably better, a little more serious than, Oh, maybe.
Well,
I mean,
kids need to see in the windshield too.
You know,
you go to the kids in the back and the kids in the,
yeah,
the back left that are trying to look through the crack of,
yeah.
I don't know.
So there's two.
Let's think the outside of the oven door cannot be hot.
Like if there's still any being made that are still hot.
No, I think, I think no. Yeah. Don't, don't make the be hot. Like if there's still any being made that are still hot. No,
I think,
I think no.
Yeah.
Don't,
don't make the outside hot.
Here's a law.
That's not really a law.
I just want it to be an invention,
but it,
the law is somebody has to invent this or else you're in trouble.
Everyone gets fined.
Yeah.
The version of a microwave for cold stuff.
I would like that.
Oh,
like a freezer wave.
Mm hmm.
I want, I want to be able to buy lukewarm dr peppers have them be like sitting outside all july and then bring it inside cool it
up real quick not heat it up cool it up yeah or can it be to just like hyper freeze something
it must be hard because i think people would think of it but maybe not hey hey you let
us know avery there's a law all right next oh i have i have another law yep and it's not funny
do you care yes uh it should be a law there there's this technology with table saws in woodworking
and it's only on saw stops that have them right now which the saw stop is like the one that can
detect your finger and like immediately stop so that your finger doesn't get cut off.
But only SawStop has the patent to that or whatever.
Oh,
I think the law should be everyone.
Everyone should be able to have that law or open source it,
open source it,
open source,
open source it.
Um,
regular cameras should be able to record longer than 30 minutes that we don't
have to buy a separate camcorder just to film your podcast.
Yeah.
That's interesting.
That's wild that it doesn't.
There's a new law.
There's an actual answer in law.
Yes.
I don't know if we know
how laws work very well,
but I don't know.
You have to shave someone's neck
if they pay you $16 plus tip.
Yeah.
So there's one.
Shave it good.
Okay, next one.
Hi, Jake and Brad.
This is Jessica calling
from Southern California.
I've been a listener since last
summer and my sister Rachel and I
are going to F12. So we're
super excited to meet you guys and our fellow
ghosties. And it's also special
because my birthday is that week. So I wanted
to use this as an opportunity to go
on a new adventure.
Jake, we also met you in
December at the Riverside show
and I was so starstruck that I think we forgot to tell you our names.
But you were really nice.
And I'm glad that you took the time to talk with us.
So my question for you guys is about musicals.
My sister and I absolutely love musicals.
And we actually just saw Waitress last weekend.
And we're planning to go see Wicked in March.
So my question for you is,
do you have a favorite musical and are there any musicals that you've seen
live?
You guys are awesome.
Keep up the good work and we'll see you at F12.
Bye.
All right.
Waitress.
Is that the one that used to have Jordan Sparks in it for a second?
I'm asking this girl.
Jessica W.
I'd never heard of it really,
but then I looked it up and i was like
maybe that's it um i'm a big musical guy you're probably not as much well i have some preferences
that i like in musicals i like to be them to be on like the the shorter end and i think i like
less dialogue more singing seriously and i think i like yeah almost like zero dialogue and i think
i want to like short to the point like it probably
is only like three or four minutes long and it's like accessible enough i don't have to go somewhere
to listen to it like i could listen to it on spotify it sounds good enough if you don't even
if you don't even see the people singing yeah it sounds as if this was like made in a studio in
like a recording studio or something yeah you and you can listen to like a bunch of different
musicals in a row yeah like. Like if I could find like,
Hey,
this person has sang multiple musicals.
Here's the list of them.
Here's the order in which they are most popular.
Like,
Oh,
that would be awesome.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So when it comes to music,
that is like,
I know it's not everyone's cup of tea,
but that's probably my favorite types of musicals.
Right.
Like a Shanti and like a Shanti.
And yeah,
um,
that's what my sister,
fun fact,
my,
uh, not my oldest sister sister middle sister julie was like
the star of the musicals in high school fun fact and so i was like my parents you know bought front
row whatever tickets to like literally like there'd be four shows we go to all four of them
and so like because of that because we also went to theater in the park growing up, which was fun and musicals and stuff. I, yeah, obviously have a musical love.
And so, yeah, I like a lot of it.
My sister was Marion Librarian in The Music Man, which was one of my favorites.
I also like White Christmas is one that we watch a lot.
Kind of classic musicals.
My Fair Lady, great one.
But more recently, I don't know.
I'm not like crazy into musicals by any means.
I didn't see La La Land yet.
And I feel like if I was really into musicals,
I'd probably have seen that.
But Greatest Showman is, I would say in my opinion,
Greatest Showman, 10 out of 10 music,
6 out of 10 actual movie.
6 out of 10 story.
Got it.
I feel like they could have built it up a little more.
But really, I like most musicals. I can't think of them off the top of my head all of them but
um katherine and i went and saw phantom of the opera on broadway that was really dope
wicked dope uh lion king musical dope dope willie wonka the chocolate factory not sure if you call
it a musical or not but i like it and they sing songs the oompa loompa songs in there cheer up
charlie in the oompa Loompa song and others.
There've been multiple venues,
uh,
on in the fall part of our tour where we were at the same venue at the,
at the time of the lion King musical truck.
Like I don't know if we're performing the night before us or right after us.
Yeah.
I've just,
we saw,
I,
yeah,
like if I know for sure,
I remember seeing him in Cleveland and there was a couple others like around
that time.
Have you ever seen that one?
I've never seen anything.
Really?
The, the lion King one's so crazy. Cause they make it look like true animals up there. Like couple others like around that time. Have you ever seen that one? I've never seen anything. Really? The Lion King one's so crazy
because they make it look like
true animals up there.
I would like that.
It's just so crazy.
I love animals.
It's so cool.
Yeah, you should go sometime.
Even if,
I think as a performer,
you'll just appreciate
somebody that,
you know,
knows how to put on a great show.
I would agree.
Let us do one more.
Also,
a quick shout out to evan who left his voice
memo this week and also asked us about musicals really yeah it's a musical time of year yeah
hey jake and brad this is christy from buffalo new york first time caller and in the process
of catching up on all of your episodes since october of 2021 I first need to start off by saying on behalf of the city of
Buffalo and every single Bills fan out there, we are devastated. We're crushed. And you know what?
I wanted to listen to you this morning for comfort because you guys always make me laugh.
But what do you know? I'm on episode 91 where the Chiefs crushed us in the AFC Championship last
year. So 50 episodes ago.
It's pretty much like rubbing salt in an open wound.
That's crazy.
But, Jake, I went to go see you in train when you came to Buffalo, laughed my butt off.
So my question is, when are you guys going on tour?
Because I would die to go see that.
But that is it.
Thank you so much.
I love you guys.
And bye-bye. Go Bills. Next year. Thumb thumb. um but that is it uh thank you so much i love you guys and bye bye
oh next year um that would be fun brad to like put on a show for like some of our fans
but we'll make him come to us yeah we're not gonna go to you
we were reinventing we were originally not gonna make any money off of it but now we're gonna make
it yeah uh no no wait you haven't heard at all okay there'll be an auction
i have lith they're lithia
oh man i really feel cold something's going on with my body right now it's been a great podcast
i'll answer real quick well maybe this is more of a conversation but like i genuinely have no idea
how big we need to get to actually do any
sort of tour because like yeah like we have not not that we've been like prying people to get to
kansas city which i know it's like harder to come to us but we have less than 300 people coming to
us jake is like going out on a tour you know 50 times to 1800 people yeah like it's like how do
we how do we know when it's like time,
you know, we have 4,000 followers on Instagram. I don't think, I don't think, I bet that's like,
you know, I bet 20% of those people will come to a show. I don't just think about how spread out there across the country. Exactly. So it's like, yeah, we're going to be performing at coffee
shops for the first, you know, leg of our tour. Not even in the main part in like the freezer. In the annex.
Yeah.
In the micro freeze.
So anyway.
Yeah.
So, I mean, obviously that's a huge dream of ours.
We would love to do it.
And yeah, the F12 event does give us an opportunity to see what it would be like to have a little
bit of a show, but it's probably going to be a while.
Maybe not a while.
It's just going to take some growth.
It takes growth.
It takes, it takes all sorts of things.
Cause it's like, we're also choosing to, to yeah go away from other things we're doing or you know
worrying about you know jake jake has literally is on tour right now so you can't just be like
i'm gonna add another tour to that you know and all the logistics it takes you've seen all the
logistics of a tour and how if you forget then you go fly first class you know yeah and there's
a lot of costs that go into
i mean it would be hard for us to even make money off of it right kind of but um you know we wouldn't
have a tour bus i'll tell you that it would be like it'd be a tour odyssey the elite maybe just
driving around with my kids yeah just okay it's easier to just take them you could fall asleep
in anything so yeah i'll be fine um hattie would be encouraging
us every single show that was awesome that was the best show you've ever done dad oh thanks hattie
but yeah someday it would be fun i had something else i was gonna say but it must have not been
that important can't remember it okay good sort of show brad let's do some reviews of the week
okay mine i did youtube comment of the week last week I'm gonna do Patreon
message of the week this week
I will say if you're a fan of
communicating with us Patreon
messages are the worst way just FYI
we don't get notifications we don't get notifications
it's a weird spot of the website yeah it's hard to see
it yeah I'm sorry so it's very
clunky it's very hard for us to see them so
message us on Instagram not promising
that we're gonna respond we're not great we on Instagram. Not promising that we're going to respond.
We're not great.
And we get a lot of messages,
but we will try to respond to as many as we can, whatever.
But this one was so nice from Hayden Lamai.
He sent this January 9th.
He said, I'm from Washington,
and all I used to know about Kansas was there was a lot of wheat fields
and tornadoes.
However, I now know it is home to the greatest podcast ever recorded.
The Ghost Runners podcast is by far the best part of my Monday.
I first started listening to the podcast about a year ago while I was deployed in Afghanistan.
I'm in the Air Force and I was over there to prep the cargo movements for when the withdrawal
was to be completed later that summer.
Oh my gosh.
Does he need beef jerky?
And he goes, which, yeah, exactly.
Which clearly didn't go well.
I had a lot of downtime between missions.
So I would spend that time listening to Ghostrunners.
Being able to listen to two Midwest best friends
talk about nothing made me forget I was so far from home.
Once I got back to the US,
listening to the podcast continued to be a regular part of my Mondays,
and I've gotten my wife Katie to start listening as well.
Katie A.
We're expecting a daughter any day now,
so hopefully congratulations on your new daughter.
And it has been fun listening to Brad talk about his own experience as a parent on the podcast on a different note i
must say gene short's the best channel on youtube can you tell why this is like such a great like
review yeah it's so nice buttering your biscuit your videos are hilarious i feel most comedy these
days is just people being vulgar with no real jokes but your guys videos are extremely well
written we have jokes cleverness and wit is top tier. It's incredible to see how such a large group of people
from all over have come together
to form the Ghostrunner community
simply from your guys' friendship
expressed through a podcast.
It's truly a testament to the character
and kindness of you both.
Thank you for the joy and laughs you bring to me
and so many others every Monday.
Hayden, very well worded.
Very well worded.
Very good encouragement.
Yeah.
That's very cool.
It's crazy to think that someone overseas in combat or whatever you want to call it deployed is listening
to what we do in a basement in johnson county yeah you think they're listening to like acdc
leonard skinner like nope ghost runners podcast yeah yeah that's crazy they're reading jarhead
or listening to it on an audio book.
That's crazy.
War dogs.
As you were saying that, we got a Ghostrunners DM.
I won't say her name just in case maybe she wants to keep it private because I can't see the end of it. But thank you for keeping me company and being good medicine while I've been at home recovering from back-to-back surgeries.
Oh, wow.
You guys do way more than you ever know for people's mental health.
And that literally just came in.
That's so cool.
That is so cool.
Anyway, my review of the week comes from Ob Nicole.
The title says, will you all adopt me into your world?
Maybe.
