Ghostrunners - 15 - Taking Our Podcast Through the Drive-Thru

Episode Date: August 19, 2019

We tried podcasting while driving and it was every bit as chaotic as it seems like it would be. We had about four surprise guests though and briefly rebranded into a Chick-Fil-A ASMR channel. Also cereal was intensely discussed. Follow us on Instagram: http://bit.ly/33WAq4P Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

five six five six seven eight stay in your lane janice get stay people who drive in the left lane oh my gosh stay yeah you yeah yeah is that good did you guys were you convinced that I was mad at Janice? Guys, welcome to episode 15. We're in the car today. Baby! We're in Brad's new truck, which gets talked about every episode somehow. You talk about what you're passionate about, you know? And that's a new truck. I guess so. Brad suggested, hey, maybe we record this episode of the podcast at your house, Jake.

And I said, my air conditioning is super loud. We can't. But what about your truck? And we got in the truck about 20 minutes ago. We're just now starting the cameras up. There were some kinks. Yeah, there were some obstacles along the way. But we figured them out.

You know, we had to figure out exactly where to position everything. Where do the mics go? Where does the camera go? Where does the camera go? Where does the laptop go? A lot of G-force in this bad boy. Okay, yeah. You keep saying that. What does that mean?

Your truck has a lot of G-forces. I don't understand that. A lot of Gs. I get like the, like, yeah, you, you know, before you go into space, you need to like, you're going to experience a lot of Gs. But why does your truck have more Gs? I think trucks in general have more Gs,'s like because they have larger turning radiuses so when you're trying to turn tightly it's harder to do it without like did you ever play the game corners as a kid no or is that what you called it like where you had

three guys in the back seat and anytime you're you know your parent would turn you'd all like smash the guy to the left so like obviously there's always g-force every time you turn but with this truck I just feel like it's stronger than with what would be in a car because the cars have you know tighter turning radiuses and easier whereas this truck is big it's long it's like an extra long bed for this model or whatever and so I keep going baby so I mean talk about the time you know yeah it has 36 gallon tank. So you know, whenever you fill up it's like $1,000. You know, but I can afford it, so anyway.

Do you think it has more G-forces because it sits up higher off the ground? Like would this have more G's than like a dune buggy? I don't know. I'm not a science guy. Me neither. But I would imagine, yeah. I'm just trying to figure out why this is like a you know a spaceship simulator compared to like a normal car i was more g's i'll have to say it was tough to get her set up let me tell you a story about g force real fast okay

made me think of something so driver's ed did you take driver's ed i did driver's ed uh took it whenever that was sophomore year of high school. My instructor was Mr. Lamping. We had it through our school. And so me and three of my best friends all signed up. And you had like a driving buddy that you would always go out. Like you had classes that you went to and then like every other day or something, you actually went out and drove with your instructor.

And so luckily my friend Sam Dwyer and I, since my last name is Ellis, his last name is Dwyer, we got to drive together. And Sam Dwyer, who I've played baseball with. Yes, Sam Dwyer. Yeah, you know Sam Dwyer. He was the catcher. He's a legend. Yeah, great catcher. A Sandlot legend.

Yeah. He was like Benny the Jet in real life. In fifth grade. But so luckily, since we had similar names in the alphabet, uh, we got to drive together. And so he was always in the backseat. I was always in, you know, in the front seat or vice versa whenever we're driving. And so we had so many fun memories because we had this character of a guy, Mr. Lamping, uh, and some of the best quotes he had, um, like one that I still say to this day, uh,

he called it a stale green light. Like whenever you're, whenever you're approaching a green light, that's been green for a long time. It's a stale green. called it a stale green light like whenever you're whenever you're approaching a green light that's been green for a long time it's a stale green it's a stale green interesting so and you know he had a pretty funny voice so he'd be like okay gentlemen we got a stale green light coming up here and he would always go anticipate the yellow anticipate the yellow and then we get closer closer we get like and we're going through but then one time like at olathe there's a bunch of uh there's a bunch of uh roundabouts and so you know and we're driving a ford tour it's like a pretty big boat of a car and we're going around these roundabouts and there was one time my friend sam who wasn't the best driver because

we're young and learning just flies around this roundabout pretty fast and like tight turns. And you heard Mr. Lamping go, whoa, felt the G's on that one. So I don't really know that much about G-Force, but that's where I have been saying it ever since Mr. Lamping's day. So those were the two and then one time we uh passed some people that were like getting like you know handcuffed on the side of the road and he goes oh looks like we got some illegal aliens over there whoa I don't know if it's true yeah potentially racist Mr. Lamping but anyway um yeah we could edit that part out I don't know if that's appropriate or not. That's fine. It's not like I was saying it.

No, that's fine. I'm just, sorry, yeah, I'm just thinking, oh, I guess a lot of things. One, I was not expecting the stale green light to be part of his curriculum. I thought that was like, hey, a little tidbit. I like to call these stale green lights just kind of something I do. He's teaching it as part of, now, coming up, what did we talk about? What is a stale green light? What is something i do he's like teaching it as part of like now coming up what did we talk about what is a stale green light what is a anticipate the yellow and we're going through it was like it was like a play-by-play announcer for like a you know a football game 15 10 5 and we're going through that's awesome and there was one time we drove

kind of late at night like late enough where it was dark outside and i turned and there was one time we drove kind of late at night like late enough where it was dark outside and i turned and there was a pedestrian going across the crosswalk and he had to use like his side of the um his side of the car like had like those brakes oh sure he had to slam on his brakes and he goes son it is not too late for me to fail you geez so i was nervous but then you know i have my best friend in the back seat so he's dying laughing he loves it oh man so fun times uh driver's ed i don't know if you had any good experiences with driver's ed or not nothing like that quick observation from the road that little pink house to our left have you ever yeah i think those are like the book library or uh whatever

they call like shared book things yeah yeah like they're like large bird houses yeah if you're needing a visual right now i don't know if they have these all over i've just seen them pop up over kid city a lot yeah catherine's used one before like you you go and you donate a book or you know you have a book into the house and then you take one out give one take one yeah see one do one teach one right that appendectomy uh that's cool i yeah that's cool to know that she's done that because i see people or i see those all over the big book birdhouses but i was like are people doing this the big book birdhouse that's what they call them too the triple b's big baller brand that's cool it seems like an old person thing but katherine's

kind of an old soul she's very much let me tell you did I tell you already this I don't know already this she went to a City Council meeting the other night no yeah that's such an old person to like yeah to like fight for her right about something yeah she was like I've been you know I get these emails from our representative and they're saying that they just really need people to show up it'll be you know representative of what we believe and so I'm gonna go and do it. So she did. And she was there for like three and a half hours.

Jeez. Yeah. Is that the full length of the show? Or did she? She left early. No way. They took a break after two and a half hours worth of town hall talking points. Like the citizens could talk for a while.

And then they took a break. And they got back into it. So anyway, pretty crazy old soul thing of her to do for sure. But she's always, yeah, she's always enjoyed those kind of things. She's very classic, which I love about her. It's fun. I want to find something that I can go to a city council meeting about. I don't know what that would be.

Not the bookshelves or not the book birdhouses i like those i could find something though surely i'm just gonna look around and see if there's anything that inspires me that i don't like about the area we're in i'll tell you one thing that like i do feel like a little bit of a curmudgeon about a little bit of an old man but it does bother me in my neighborhood is and actually it happened during our last podcast the motorcycles in our neighborhood are so loud yeah do it happened during our last podcast the motorcycles in our neighborhood are so loud yeah do you remember in the last podcast no yeah i was like is that a siren you're like no that's just a motorcycle driving by right on cue that truck just kind of vermed his engine i'm sure you guys heard that it was an f-150 no big deal um but i think yeah in

general um those motorcycles like and there's so many i bet i don't want to be over-exaggerative 15 of the people in my neighborhood have motorcycles that's a lot which seems like a lot yeah like there's so many people with motorcycles and my daughter i just don't want her to wake up that's what i get more bothered about than anything is don't get her off schedule oh my gosh that was scary oh my gosh that was probably so loud for you guys i'm sorry but we were at a stoplight and red didn't like went as far from gunning it but we've got my gopro up in his sunglasses holder so we can get some like video footage of this and that sucker just dropped to the ground that was it went terrifying there's a gopro and now it's a went pro nice yeah felt the g's on that

one that was scary dude oh that woke everybody up if somehow you fell asleep in the first 10 minutes you're back and we're back did you ever see that snl skit by the way the and we're back uh no it was jimmy fallon it was amazing like i feel like it was one of the most underappreciated, like, it was like a recurring skit, but basically he was a one person radio DJ or like radio, like shock jock personality. And, but it was like, he was interviewing like four different people, but he did every single voice character. Oh, that's sweet. It was amazing.

And it was so funny. And then like, he would always have somebody else like on the show that he was interviewing Like I just remember one like specific one was Nick Lachey and Nick Lachey what's left of me he kept he kept Pelican geez, okay, maybe you know what forget the GoPro is fun while lasted But Nick Lachey like he kept calling Nick lackey. First of all, there's Kathy MacDonald. We just drove past Kathy. Kathy. Let's go turn around and see if we can catch Kathy. She's a listener. Okay, go find her. Friend of the show, Kathy McDonald.

The G's are going to get real strong right here. Everybody hang on. My best friend in high school, just quick pause. I know you're still mid-story, but he changed his outgoing voicemail message to his own parody of the song What's Left of Me by Nick Lachey. And it was a song he wrote about like missing your call. It was awesome. I really liked when like he didn't answer because he had a good voice and it was a well-written parody.

Do we think we lost Kathy already? Do we think she went straight or crooked? Crooked. Crooked? Okay. I'm just laughing. Yeah, crooked, crooked. Let's go.

Let's take a right. Straight or crooked. Was this what you were feeling too? She took a right? I don't know. We are now headed eastbound on 79th Street in pursuit of Kathleen McDonald. Okay, so this SNL skit. Anyway, he called him Nick Lackey.

And basically, he would accuse him, accuse whoever he was interviewing of doing all these ridiculous things. And then he would back it up with all these different people, different characters also, saying, yeah, he did that. Oh my gosh, why is he doing that? I don't know, all these different crazy voices. Is Jimmy Fallon pretty good with voices like that? Yeah, he wasn't that skit at least.

I tried to Google it and find a video of it one time kind of recently and could not, so good luck if you're out there you're uh very talented with voices i would say or at least above average thanks i don't know if you need to like quit your job and pursue voice acting or anything sure but maybe i don't know i like impersonations yeah like you're very good at mimicking like celebrities or even like our personal friends oh wow um and i'm not at all but i'm wondering let's say you had to do your own jimmy fallon skit like what are like some of the main voices or characters that you like feel confident about like doing oh like i would be the one um doing it all yeah like what characters would you choose? Oh, man. Louis Armstrong.

Old Louis. Oh, sorry, UPS driver. I'm doing a podcast. We got a lot going on. Louis Armstrong. I don't think this is where Kathy went, but maybe she did because she might be picking up somebody from school. Okay. Louis Armstrong. Maybe a little Patrick Mahomes.

I've learned I'm pretty good at that recently. Donald Trump, I've learned. Oh, yeah, yeah. The listeners have heard that now now no uh i don't know i don't do that many celebs i i i'm more comfortable doing like friends than i am people you've really heard talk a lot right and like yeah i don't know um let's see who else third day like the lead singer of third day oh my god i i pretend like i'm voice or his singing voice his singing voice yeah yeah like i he's just like so over the top with how

like annoyingly country he is we're like hey you're so new jesus yeah it's definitely not a real voice it's like kind of how creed sings right but christian and with a little more twang like forced twang yeah i kind of annoy katherine and with a little more twang, like forced twang. Yeah, I kind of annoy Catherine sometimes with how much I do that voice, like when I'm singing normal songs. What a wonderful world. I don't know, stuff like that. That sounds like a nice ensemble. Yeah, thanks.

Speaking of Patrick Mahomes, maybe we use this time right now to brainstorm. On air. How we become uh friends with Patrick Mahomes right basically what we've got so far is that if you live in Kansas City you probably know Hy-Vee has come out with Mahomes cereal yes our friend Isaac McDonald just spent 55 dollars worth buying that cereal that he's going to give to us to use which is just a ridiculous you know It's a high dollar amount. Yeah.

For how many boxes? I think he got 11 boxes. Are those things really $5.50 each? They were $3.99. Okay. Maybe I counted wrong then. Anyway. But yeah, I think we do something reviewing his cereal.

And it's so funny that he is just in love with us by the end of it. I love it. I don't know. I don't know what else to... Yeah, I've talked about doing impersonations for that. Yeah, I was going to say, it could kind of go hand-in-hand with the SNL skit. You become... Yeah, that was kind of my weak...

I don't know if it's a weak idea, but that was kind of my original idea. It was like, we eat it, and by eating it we also like gain the powers of mahomes including his voice including like no look passes of some sort including whatever else he can do everything pretty much um we get crazy hair i don't know if you've got a play for our hair we like really like sell out for this thing we like grow out our hair for multiple months like i think it could be yeah something like maybe like eating it throughout the day like you eat it you know to start your day and like something kind of happens like that was kind of weird you know then you you like you know it's midday you stop and get like another like bowl of my own cereal and then that kind of affects you in

a different way man i don't know yeah we'll figure it out sorry it just got me distracted by how much i love cereal i don't eat cereal very much anymore and it like growing up i had it every single day and man it's good stuff i had it today had some cocoa pebs yeah some cbs you're as big as a toast crunch guy right huge i like undisputed the best i For you. No. No. For everybody. No. Yes. Yes. You think that, what's better?

Well, I think cinnamon is not necessarily like a super loved taste by all. That's ridiculous. That's wrong. I think that's right. Really? I feel like almost, like, the best breakfast things are all cinnamon. Cinnamon rolls. Cinnamon toast crunch.

Let's just take a quick moment to acknowledge that father welcoming his son home from his second day of school and give him a big hug. That was sweet. That was nice. This is Moe. This is Moe, dude. Oh, my gosh. This is our old mailman. Yo, Moe.

Moe, what up? What's happening? What's going on, dude? What's going on? How are you, man? How are you doing? All right. How are y'all doing? Good, man. Mo, what up? What's happening? What's going on, dude? What's going on? How are you, man? How you doing? All right, how y'all doing? Good, man.

You still working hard? All the time, man. Still here on the- Working too hard, man. What y'all got, a podcast going on? Yeah, we're literally driving and recording this podcast right now. All right. Can I get up there? What y'all talking about?

Man, anything. We're talking about Chiefs right now. What do you think of the Chiefs? I ain't a Chiefs fan. What? Who you like? I'm an Atlanta fan. Okay.

But they got a young rookie running back who look real good. I see him. Yes, Darwin Thompson, man. That's the only thing I've seen. I'm not a hater, so I don't wish y'all to lose. I mean, we're in AFC. You're in the NFC. So, it's just going to matter how they get that defense together.

Is it going to be as good as they make it out to be? Yeah. It's got to just be decent, you know? Yeah, if they're decent, then y'all got a shot. Man. Y'all missed Kareem Hunt, though, man. Y'all missed him last year. I know, man.

I know. I think maybe he's just a product of Andy Reid's system, though. Like, I think maybe this next running back will be just as close to. Well, I mean, I'm just saying, though, when you got a quarterback that prolific, man, and can get the ball open. Yeah. You know, any running back can be pretty good, especially coming out of the backfield.

Right. Have you heard about a serial that they came out with? No. They came out with some Frosted Flakes serial called Mahomes Magic Crunch. See, they trying to jinx him, man. Right? Like, get him on everything. with no they came out with some frosted flakes cereal called mahomes magic crunch see they found they trying to jinx him man right like get him on everything you better get three or four years of that kind of play on this bill for you know he's out there i know you know but hey y'all got a winner man yeah i might better do something i hope so well yeah man i i've missed seeing you every

day we we moved to shaw, so we live up there now. I thought y'all moved close. Well, we did move. We moved down by that church. Okay. And then eventually, yeah, like a year and a half ago or so, we moved to Shawnee. How's your business? Yeah.

Yeah, it's going well, man. It's going really well. One day I might make enough money to afford one of your tables, man. I love that. I love that, man. Yeah, it's going well. Pretty busy right now, which is good. How's your wife doing?

She's doing great. We have a kid. You know we have a daughter. No, I didn't know that. See, I ain't seen you. I know, man. I got a son about to turn two years old. Really?

Good job, man. Yeah, she'll be two. She's like two and a half. Okay, so I ain't seen y'all in a while then. Man, yeah, that's crazy. Okay. Man, so you're staying busy, though? Yeah, man.

I ain't got no other choice, man. That's the only way I can make any money, man. Yeah. Let the post office work you to death. I know, man. And act like you're sitting on a shade tree with one of those umbrella drinks or something. That's how they act. What took you so long?

All right, but good seeing y'all, man. All right, you too, brother. Absolutely. Have a good one, Mo. One of them, man. Whenever we were driving by, we were like, oh, my gosh, that's Mo. We got to stop and talk to Mo. Oh, I miss you, bro.

All right, y'all too, man. All right, we'll see you, man. Have a good one. Take it easy. All right, bro, see ya. We got to do more podcasts in public. You're kidding. Seeing our old mailman.

So we probably talked about this in the first episode, but Brad and I used to be next door neighbors and that's how we met and mo was our mailman and he was just super friendly and looked a lot like lorenzo cane who was a royal center fielder at the time and man since brad and i both moved off 79th street mo's still here wow that was awesome that was so awesome like we played basketball with him a few times like not like not, like, for real, but, like, shoot hoops with him. He shoots around. Yeah. Good for him. Old Mo.

Mo Mo. Love him, man. I don't even know what we were talking about. Patrick Mahomes, I guess. We were talking about cereal. Oh, yeah. Cinnamon Toast Crunch is so good. I think it's pretty good.

Just back off. But it's not in my, it's not even in my top five. Gosh. What's in my top five. Gosh. What's in your top five? I just think that your food taste buds are so bad that. Oh, not with cereal. Not with cereal. Yes.

Not with anything with sugar. I'm very well versed in sugary foods. Like I know sugar. Yeah, but you just like, like bland things a lot. Like vanilla milkshakes. I give you a hard time about that a lot. I don't think there's that big a difference in a vanilla milkshake and a chocolate milkshake. Oh, except for the taste.

It's just two sides of the coin. Much richer and more wonderful. No. I don't think you ever get anything outside of like pretty plain things. Like you're never like the guy that's going to get like a chocolate extreme blizzard. Like you're going to be like, yeah, I'll take a blizzard with, I don't i don't know what you would get cookie dough yeah you'd probably be a cookie dough kind of guy yeah i'm not like you're not going that far out there i don't know if this relates a ton to me not liking cinnamon toast i'm just saying that your palate is not reforming up like your like

your top five is probably going to be like fruit loops frosted flakes cocoa pebbles fruity pebbles like how many ingredients do we need in cereal to make it i'm just saying not necessarily the amount of ingredients but just the variety that you have i'm just saying jake let me tell you my cereal and then you you tell me about my palate i can't wait to just no matter what you say i'm gonna say it's wrong uh lucky charms sure cocoa pebs sure Lucky Charms. Sure. Cocoa Pebs. Sure. Frosted Flakes. Frosted Mini Wheats. And then rounding out the top five might be... I don't know.

I guess those are my big four. Those are my Mount Rushmore. Okay. What are your cereals? Cinnamon Toast Crunch. Cinnamon Toast Crunch. Just kidding. Cinnamon Toast Crunch. crunch honey bunches of oats um that's your favorite tasting i love honey bunches of oats yes really it's so good um oops all berries crunch berries i think that's the silliest name every time i'm in the group

in the cereal aisle and i see that just like it just like makes me like chuckle a little bit oops all berries it's just like it's like a youtuber naming a cereal like oops you're not gonna believe this cereal all berries i mean it's good, though. And maybe just peanut butter crunch. I'll just do two cap'n crunches. Ooh, that made me think of my fifth one. Reese's Puffs, probably. No. People love Reese's Puffs.

A little too much chocolate in the morning. I was going to say, there's a version of Rice Krispies called Rice Krispies Crunch or something like that. Or Rice something like that. See, that's what i'm talking about like rice crispy's is so boring but the crunch that like uses yeah whatever i can't really debate that they are pretty boring but the crunch is a little better because it like it kind of uses some marshmallow adhesive to like stick them together a little bit for you like you're not eating them one by one anymore like they're like oh maybe it's called uh

rice crispy's clusters i don't know what they are talking about those are pretty good yeah they're like oh maybe it's called uh rice krispies clusters i don't know what they are talking about those are pretty good yeah they're nice man so anyway we're at a church parking lot now yeah i was gonna drop off some trash in the dumpster that i'd drop off trash here this is our church that i work at yeah what kind of trash do they know that you yeah okay you're not like illegally dumping trash right now? I didn't know for the longest time that that was illegal to just dump in dumpsters. Oh, yeah, it's a decent deal. Decent big deal.

DBD. And so back in the day, like, I used to just go to that Hy-Vee, like, by our house on 79th Street and just, yeah, just throw away a bunch of trash in the dumpsters behind them. And, like, very, very innocently, you know. Other people are trying to do this, like, in the shadow of the shadow of the night i'll like wave at people as they go by yeah you're throwing away trash too no okay just me then that's fine and it said no dumping but but i didn't think about what that meant like i was like i don't know what dumping means weird i don't know i'm just throwing away trash yeah i'm just throwing away trash is something that

i'm not paying for that's not for me um so Do you remember when Peter and I got all those foam blocks? Still one of my favorite things of all time. Yeah, I had to do quite a bit of illegal dumping with those. And I still remember the different spots I went to because I would throw them away somewhere and that would fill up the dumpster bin. And then I'd have to drive to a new... Now I've got to find another sketchy spot to...

Yeah, that's tapped out. We've got to go to another one. Illegally dump this. Man. Anyway, so i'm gonna go i'm gonna go do that real quick okay cool i'll just uh soliloquy real quick you guys do a monologue um that works too get can you feed me something to talk about oh sure well set up the thing we were talking about earlier about sorry my favorite thing set about set up set up the idea of driving and texting in our

we talked last week about our generation being unique in a lot of ways and by our generation i just really mean like our age specifically yeah like 20 to 30 so so start talking about that and i'll i'll jump in okay i think i know where you want me to go with this sure whatever I'll just talk hey everybody it's just us now pretty intimate um feels good okay so I don't know if this is the exact same thing that I'm supposed to be talking about but I kind of have this thought that like I know some like certain states have policies like it is illegal to text and drive if you're 18 and under, you know, like you just started driving, you are still getting the hang of it, you should not be texting and driving, or like on your phone and driving. And my kind of theory is like, if any, if anyone's going to be

on their phone, like I don't think people should, but if anyone's going to be on their phone, it should be like the 30 and under crowd, like at least we can do both adequately. Like, i don't think people should but if anyone's gonna be on their phone it should be like the 30 and under crowd like at least we can do both adequately like i don't think 60 year olds have any business trying to text and drive at the same time and so i think like obviously they would never make that a rule like 25 and under you're good to go on texting and driving we approve it that's awesome let's see what you can do. Let's get some live streams going. Who can make some TikToks while you drive? Let's get this trending. I don't think they're going to do that. But that's just kind of a theory I've had. And so I thought that's kind of what Brad meant. But then before we started rolling on the podcast, he said something about he trusts himself to drive

with like while texting more than he does without even a cell phone at all. And this is where I'm going to need him here to explain that to me. Because I'm pretty sure that's what he said. Oh, perfect. Okay, Brad, you timed it great. How awkward or easy was that to talk by yourself? Oh, it was fine. I mean, I think you know this about me.

I love leaving people voicemails because I have no problem just talking about anything for four minutes straight i do it i would say once every three days i'm leaving someone a four minute voicemail four minute voicemail it's actually usually pretty entertaining or like more entertaining than what i just did so i feel like i did a disservice to our audience there but um okay anyway you timed it great it was like it was perfectly your cue to come in tell us about why you think you would rather be texting and driving or you feel more safe than not even having a phone. Yeah. So I think, um, I think that whenever I am, how did the dumping go by the way?

Great. Solid dump. Okay. Keep going. I set it up. Well, um, yeah, I think that while I'm driving and on my phone, I'm almost more alert and thinking than if I am talking to somebody in the car or on the phone. Like, I think I'm... What?

Yeah. I disagree. For yourself? For myself. Yeah, not for you. I don't know you very well. I think that I am just more, more like engaged and alert sometimes i get distracted like some of the quickest or closest calls to accidents for me have been when i'm like with katherine like backing out of our driveway or something talking to her um and she'll be like brad you're about to hit you know i'm like oh shoot i wasn't texting somebody on my phone no i'm just kidding i should have been

texting you this i'm a big fan anyway of like giving like leaving some safe distance between me and the car in front of me but whenever you text somebody you really have to leave some good distance and so i'm just not very aggressive with my driving i'm not you know very close and i don't know if you talked about this but i think our generation is good enough at texting without having to look all the time and being able to look up and also being a good enough driver that like like if my dad were trying to text while he's driving i would say dad that's a terrible idea yeah like that's very dangerous you need to wait until we get to a stoplight or something yes that backs up something i was saying earlier really that's good um and like for kids that aren't experienced enough with driving, I think the same thing.

Oh, Brad's getting a call. Speaker phone it, baby. Hi, this is Brad. Oh, thank you. Hi, Mr. Ellis. My name is Linda. I was reaching out to you regarding the vacation package. I see you were first on the path. We're just doing some follow-up.

So if you haven't been able to complete your vacation, is there something that you forgot about or life's been in a way that you didn't travel? I just forgot about it, honestly. Okay. Well, it is actually going to work out in your favor. What we're actually doing is upgrading your accommodations. I have a couple couple special things for you uh can you give me just a moment to pull up the full account i do want to see what else i have available for you yeah that's fine just just so i can calculate this out we'll talk we'll talk later

She went 90 seconds no breath there But no brakes sounds like a good deal first first class Orlando for five days, Daytona Beach for a few Whoa, hey I'm doing all right. Well, good, Matt. I'm glad to hear you're doing good. My name is Matt. I'm the promotions manager on the floor today. Okay.

And my brother's on your vacations, but you weren't able to utilize all your trips. So I'm assuming, like, he just got a little busy for you. Is that right? Right. Yeah. My wife had a baby, and we've just been raising her, you know, just worrying about feeding her every day and, you know, keeping her safe with a house and a roof and everything like that. Right, right. I definitely understand. Congratulations on the young one, the little one. Thank you.

Now, I'm sure, absolutely. And then I'm also, that's kind of a congratulatory gift. I'm going to give you a fifth vacation as well for the little one. So you'll apply for this total now as opposed to the four that my representative was able to give you. And that one, she would come with us or she would just go on her own vacation? I'm sorry, what was that? You said a fifth vacation for the little one. Is that like a kid's vacation or is it like the whole family? Oh, right. It's the whole family.

Okay. Sorry, I was like, is that like a new thing, you know, that's coming around that I didn't know about? It's like, you know, kiddication or something like that? Right. So you'll have five open trips for you and your family. It's an average day of a five, eight, four night. Oh, okay. I see. Okay.

Yeah. Okay. Okay. So. Okay. Yeah. So here's what I'm going to do for you. I'm going to go ahead and add an all-inclusive cruise in here for you. Do you guys like to cruise? Oh, yeah. That's the only way I drive.

Okay. Because we added about 14 new's the only way I drive. Okay. Because we added about 14 new ships to the fleet this year. Yeah. I agree with you. I'm sorry. I got to go. I'm so sorry, man. All right, Brad.

All right. Oh, such a quick end call right there. That was wild. I don't know how well you guys could hear that but it was uh that was quite the just that's someone's job i feel i feel crunchy after about 20 seconds of that like that's someone's job to just call people and just try to trick them into thinking they've signed up for something that they haven't he kept saying you've been a preferred traveler for two years so there is a backstory oh okay i thought this was just straight up a random person so a few years ago whenever we went on a to to orlando for a wedding michael sloan

lindsey jackson um my friend told me like hey there's this kind of hack that you can do where you can we can say this really nice resort oh this is where you sat through the timeshare presentation time share presentation you're in the system now so now they give me a call every once in a while and i usually just end it real quick or don't answer. They're getting smart, though, these telemarketers. And they're calling you from local numbers. Have you noticed that? Yeah, well, that's why I was kind of thrown off.

I was like, oh, it's a 913 number. Yeah, and so obviously since I'm a business that has people calling me a decent amount, I have to answer all those calls or else it's like I might miss out on thousands of dollars if I don't answer this call. And so I have to answer it. And yeah, there's some people that like, you say, I'm not interested and they just hang up right away. Other people say, you know, like, let me, like, they try to keep you on the line as much as possible. Oh man. Anyway, that I felt, I just felt, I just feel bad for that kind of stuff. Cause it's like, yeah, they're not doing anything wrong. It's their job.

It's just an annoying job. Yeah, it would be hard to take a lot of pride in what you do if that's what it is. Yeah. I mean, just throwing things left and right. You know what? Brad, I like the sound of your voice. I'm going to throw in a Norwegian cruise. Yeah, he said something like, you know, they quoted you at this much. I would never do

that to you. And it's like, so why did she do it? Yeah. Like y'all are the same company. Anyway, a telemarketer portion of the show is over. Uh, I kind of had an idea before we got in the car and I said, Hey Brad, what if while we're, we're podding, we stop by the Chick-fil-A drive-thru and get some of that new macaroni? And I said, yes. So what do you say we do that right now? That's where I'm headed, actually. Okay, perfect. Yeah, I didn't know.

Yeah, I guess a week ago, Chick-fil-A came out with macaroni and cheese. And somehow I have not had it yet. Did you know that I've been, I had it on Monday because I went there with Jake McDonald, Eli McDonald, Isaac McDonald, the McDonald brothers. And Jake works at Chick-fil-A, so he got some for free for us to try. So I had one bite. It's good. But did you know that I've been to Chick-fil-A every single day this week for breakfast?

I figured you probably had, but I didn't know. 100%. And then are you going to go all five days next week? 100%. Yeah. We got these cards randomly the other day, last week when we were at Chick-fil-A, that were like, be our guest, free breakfast cards. And I'm not kidding, we got stacks, like 17 of them.

Yeah, I was there first, and I'd already kind of established a relationship with Lacey. She was like, hey, if you want any of these breakfast breakfast cards just let me know and i was like okay like this is you know she already gave me like plenty of cards and by the time brad and isaac showed up yeah i have this i think she like her boss must have got onto her or something it's like hey we need to be giving out these cards and so she just like made it rain on us and we were like the only people like it was like three o'clock in the afternoon only people in the uh establishment probably and so yeah she would just come out back with stacks of these cards and say do you want this do you want this yeah sure yeah it was awesome um i haven't taken advantage of it a ton not like you

but um that's just my personality though we've talked about that like like it could be something i don't even like and if it's for free i'd be like i'm there i got a large frappe at McDonald's last night because the app gave me 20% off like I didn't need a large frappe but yeah it sounds like oh sweet there's a deal were you gonna get any kind of frappe before that or um I don't know I kind of just walk in there without a game plan and check the app and they kind of let that make my decisions for me smart I'm getting warm in here are you i might pop up yeah yeah that's good oh yeah that feels better that's nice baseball is finally back get in on major league action and swing for the fences with bet mgm the king of sportsbooks log in or sign up to play along as bet mgm brings the real-time action embrace a season's worth of swings with BetMGM, your one-stop shop for all things baseball.

From the executive producers of Lost. This place will not break us. The Phenomenon returns to Paramount+. The only way we go home is together.

From new season now streaming exclusively on Paramount+. Well, this has been an eventful pod so far. We got to see Mo. We saw and then lost Kathy McDonald and then the telemarketer too. Kathy McDonald's going to be so regretful about that. Like I would venture out to say that she's top 10 fans of the pod what will she be regretting just that she did not have the opportunity to have the experience of like being on the podcast she didn't drive slow enough for

us to catch her no she's just gonna be regretful like oh man we were so close yeah maybe yeah i should have should have been more careful with my driving i I don't know. Oh yeah, we were talking about driving when you got that phone call. I kind of resonate with the first thing you said about like well actually I don't. I would be much more alert if someone was in the car with me talking to me.

Like that is so much easier to stay awake than any other option. Really? For me anyway. I will say I've been in the car with other people and this actually drives me up the wall like people who are so set on getting eye contact with you while they're driving and i'm like yo you don't have to i never look at people yeah just like please make driving your first priority like do not i don't care if you look me in the eyes while you're talking like i know who was it someone recently like i'm in the back seat and i even after a while i like i was just getting so nervous sitting here

and like being in this car with him i'm like dude you seriously like you can just like look forward like you don't need to look back at me like i i would feel a lot better if you did he's like no it's just how i drive man just like look at people i'm like no i i know that's like how you like to drive i'm just saying like it makes me like uncomfortable that you're looking back so much he's like oh it's fine and i'm like okay i don I'm just saying like, it makes me like uncomfortable that you're looking back so much. She's like, Oh, it's fine. And I'm like, okay, I don't want this to like become an argument, but like, but like,

I don't want you to. Yeah. Yeah. Do you understand? It's not like, it's not a favor to me. It's a disservice. Yeah.

Like, please just look at the road. I know that sounds crazy, but please look at the road while you're driving. Yeah. That really drives me up the wall. Um, when people are just so set on that,

um, trying, what else other little nuances of of the car you know one thing that i get bothered by it that katherine doesn't care about is crippling debt yeah things on the dashboard oh when they like reflect on them i hate it i hate it i hate it oh man yeah it bothers the heck out of me hey real quick let's let's game plan see i almost got a wreck right there in the Chick-fil-A drive-thru. Oh, jeez. This is going to be a tough turning radius right here for the old Matt Black Ford.

Do I need to hold your mic? Will that help? No. It's just tight. I just think I should have gotten in that outside lane, but it'll be fine. Oh, gotcha. Okay. All roads lead to that one lane anyway so it's fine

game plan what should we do at the drive-thru you know that i love interacting with folks in the drive-thru in a fun way to brighten their day could you become someone do you want to be donald trump to them no okay no um oh i don't know uh what if i give you some words you have to work in your order what if I just like in very transparently like telling them like hey my friend and I are just trying to be fun so I'm just going to sing my order to you right now

oh hey it's time right now it's happening are we just getting mac and cheese only I'll take a medium Dr. Pepper please make it a large and you can share with Big Daddy. Okay. Welcome to Chip and My Name is Caitlin. How can I help you?

Hey, Caitlin. My name is Brad, and we're just feeling a little goofy. I'm with my friend Jake here. Hi. If it's cool with you, can we just sing our order to you? Absolutely. Go right ahead. All right. We're doing this together it's all

you baby all right can I get a mac and cheese and a medium dr. pepper please if you will make that to go that's it I'm so sorry. Some mac and cheese and a medium soccer poker? Yes, please. That's great singing, by the way. Oh, thank you. 5.42, I'll come back. Oh, man. I love the energy. She didn't even react, though. She was like, alright.

Alright. Like, no problem. This happened to me 20 minutes ago. Yeah, just another singer every hour. There was one. I've noticed you don't like to rhyme often. I'm not good at rhyming. I'm not good at rhyming spontaneously. Which is kind of surprising

because I would consider you a very quick-witted person. And it comes decently easily for me. Did I get a medium, Dr. Pepper? You did. So I was like, oh, I guess he made the decision that we're not sharing. No. See? I'm not thinking. If you would have been on your phone,

probably would have had it. Instead of singing and talking to me. Singing and talking. Singing and talking to me. Uh, you, I think you did a fine job with the turn radius, by the way. It's gonna be fine. Oh, you'd be surprised, man. Um, good old Chick-fil-A. Did you see

John Chris' video? The Chick-fil-a did you see john chris video the chick-fil-a dating whatever yeah it was okay here's my thing it's not as bad here's my thing with john chris but like he has that like that like uh cadence of joke where it's like i can't think of a good example he would just like read the sign like four piece mugget or four piece. Yeah. Like set it up and then deliver it with a pun kind of like like

you come to Chick-fil-A but you are Chick-fil-A years old or something like that. Like that is like so like that is so old and boring to me.

Because it's the same format over and over again. Yeah. Jesus fed 5,000 but I'm 5,000 years old waiting for this order to go. I'm like, okay. Because it's kind of, I get what you're saying. Because it is. Even the tone of it is just like, da-da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da.

You can kind of guess the punchline if you can hear the setup. Here, let's try it. We'll practice. I'll give you a Chick-fil-A-based setup, and then you guess the punchline if you can hear the setup uh here let's yeah let's try and we'll practice i'll give you a chick-fil-a based setup and then you guess the punchline i gotta think of this first um okay actually this is hard why did i put this pressure on myself to do this on the spot right now uh salt and pepper shakers on the table i guess that's why we're salt and what yep exactly something like that i was gonna do like i guess i'm the only salty one or something like that yeah all this salt on the table but i'm still salty like good one i don't know uh no he has some he has a better one so driving

driving through the drive-thru lane like I drive through women's hearts. I don't know. Like, whoa. Okay, now I feel bad that we're kind of trashing John Crist. I've never met the guy. I'm sure he's really nice. Him and Trey are obviously close working compadres. Don't feel bad.

I mean, whatever. He trashes people all the time in a jokey manner. Okay. You think? Okay. Like, yeah, I'm not taking personal offense to him or his work. Yeah, but like that specific type of comedy is just not feeling it. I felt it.

No, no. I liked it the first time I saw it. Yeah, yeah. The first multiple times I saw it. But now it's like every single thing he does is that. Mm-hmm. I see what you're saying. Anyway, this is going to be awkward.

I have to confront the person that I sang so mediocre. Poorly. Not even mediocrely. It's fine. Here we go. Alright, yeah. It's showtime, guys. I will try to narrate what I see. Now that would be coincidental.

Hi. Hello. Yes. Thank you. coincidental hi hello yes thank you we've acquired the mac and cheese oh made her night thank you made her night normally he's a better singer you wouldn't believe it but he sings for a church and they pay him money but i really do but But yeah. Yeah. Sorry. She's like, really?

I wasn't planning it far enough in advance. I even meant to get a large Dr. Pepper and I actually asked for it. He froze. But that's not like you. I'm not saying you should get us large. I'm just saying. We did not get a Dr. Pepper. Thank you so much.

My pleasure. Have a good night. You too. Yikes. Oh, man. But I'm not saying I need a Dr. Padward. I'm just saying I messed up. I should have said.

It's your bowl. Get a good look at your butcher. Welcome back to Chick-fil-A ASMR. This is sticking the straw into the lid. How was that for you? I had never really understood that ASMR thing. Someone recently kind of as mr what that's funny i'm english as mr bean i've never heard that joke before that's great i just made

it up as mr i mean yeah when you say it's like oh yeah that's funny but i'm like almost surprised no one's ever done that before as mr what as mr what um oh should we park and do this i guess oh yeah let's do a quick mac and cheese reveal uh yeah i kind of it was an l and a w reveal i uh someone explained asmr to me and i guess it's like a biological response like some people just have it and some people don't kind of like the cilantro and dish soap thing you know about that sure um i think it's kind of like that it's just like for certain people they get like a um like a physically like their hair stands up on the back of their neck when they hear certain sounds and people tapping on cups and stuff like that and i don't know it just sounds like a millennial thing to be like uh like is it like a bad thing like no they like. That's why it's so popular.

It's just like, oh. I love it. Yeah. Grow those nails out and touch something with them. I don't know. Grow those nails out and just scratch them all over the pavement. Scratch them. Just get some chalk and, I don't know, eat it.

I think ASMR gets such a bad rap because there's so many freaky stuff going on within the world of ASMR. I just don't even explore however you know this stuff. I don't know where, like, I don't explore that side of life. Like, are you seeing it on Instagram or YouTube? I don't really come in contact. Like, it doesn't really come across my phone often. But I just know that ASMR is, like, a big, like, vertical on YouTube. Are you hot yet or cold yet?

Are you cold? Yes. I think I've got the hot laptop on my lap, and I think that's making me pretty warm. I think that we are, you're more naturally warm than I am anyway. Remember that one time, I just remember one time you were in the backseat, and you're like, it was like February or something you roll down the window you're like I'm sorry I'm just so hot I just think in general I have kind of a narrow window of like temperatures that I feel comfortable in like uh really yeah it's just it's kind of a

bummer because then you you feel like you're uh yeah just like a little um what's the word I'm looking for like a pampered little millennial like oh it's a little, what's the word I'm looking for? Like a pampered little millennial. Like, oh, it's a little too cold. Okay, no, that's a little too hot. But I don't know. You can't really help what you're comfortable with. Yeah.

Okay, whatever. Pause this real quick because it's going to be really crinkly as it gets out of the back. Okay. Okay, it's time. We are here. Car podcast, baby. Trying the Chick-fil-A mac and cheese live for your listening pleasure. I'm going to go one bite, then you go one bite.

One bite, everyone knows the rules. Ooh, initially, very cheesy. Oh, yeah. I mean, I was expecting there to be cheese, but like... Did you notice that there's this, like, baked cheese on top? No. That's supposed to be like a thing, I think. It's supposed to be like a thing, I think.

I'm taking a bigger bite than you because it looks real good. I mean, it's tasty to be like a thing I think I'm taking a bigger bite than you because it looks real good I mean it's tasty I'll say it I'll say it again it's tasty tasty remember we went to that soccer game and there was that random we went to like a high school soccer game and there was that annoying dad wasn't even like the dad of the guy that he was freaking out about. But every time this one player would do something, he would just go, Oh, Oscar, tasty. That was tasty. He had the weirdest adjectives for how these high school boys were playing soccer. And we found out that his kid was sitting on the bench or whatever. He was a parent.

Yeah, I don't even know if his kid was on the team anymore. Yeah, his kid had graduated and he's still just like a soccer fan. Oh, tasty. Oh, delicious. Delicious move, Ryan. like a kid graduating. He's still just like a sock up there. Oh, tasty. Oh, delicious. Delicious move, Ryan. Oh, my gosh. And it's like talking a little too loud. Scrumtralescent.

I would love to put some barbecue sauce on that. That's nice. Saute that up, Oscar. Anyway, this mac and cheese is very good. I will be getting this regularly. Really? I also really like mac and cheese. That good i will be getting this regularly really i also really like mac and cheese that's what i was going to say is i don't know if i'm that much of a connoisseur of the mac mac um because i think that old mac and cheese tastes good i think that that one tastes good but i don't think it's like oh my gosh that's better than any mac and cheese i've

ever had. Really? I really like it. I do too. I'm also pretty hungry, but I really, really like it. Now that I had one bite, I want a second. You can have a second. You ever go to Old Chicago?

Yeah, but not with mac and cheese in my mouth. Well, they have these mac and cheese bites that are awesome. Never been much of a bites of mac and cheese guy. Thanks, dude. Why not? I don't know. These have bacon in them, which I'm a little allergic to now,

but that's what I'll throw down. I don't know if I've ever even tried mac and cheese bites, to be honest. Well, who's the one with the unreformed palate now? Never even tried them. Fair enough. Well well i hope the mac and cheese review was was fun for you guys i'm so good at reviewing food oh yeah that's good

yeah that's cheesy yeah it's it's cheesy initially and then my second thought would just be that it's good no i don't really know what else you're looking for out of a mac and cheese review other than like yeah i would recommend it did you ever have their uh they didn't call it case or they call it cheese sauce at chick-fil-a never had it because the advertising was so poorly done bad i i never had it either because it was like well first of all why are you calling cheese sauce yeah there's better names and it was like it would it would be like what are you putting it on yeah it would only show you just a cup of cheese and it gave you no like context to how you're supposed to utilize it. Give me examples of what that thing would be good on, and I might pay the extra dollar.

Yeah, I never got down on the cheese sauce. Chick-fil-A, let me just say this real fast, does almost everything right. But they do wrong on their coffee their coffee is so bad really yes if chick-fil-a is listening if truer kathy's son truer jr is listening you need to fix your coffee that's the one bad thing about chick-fil-a is that like well known like do people know like i probably shouldn't get chick-fil-a's coffee i i don't know i was there the other day getting my free breakfast and i was with isaac and isaac got the coffee and he's like this is bad i was like yeah this is bad he sounds like he should be on the food review channel with me tastes bad this muffin is good um but you ran a pretty good red

light there i'd say i anticipated the yellow and I went for it. Yeah, I did. It's fine. Yeah, I don't know. Does everyone else agree that the Chick-fil-A coffee is bad? See, I've never got their hot cough, but their iced coffee I really like. Do you? I do.

I think that's pretty cheeks too. Really? Their frosted coffee though. Ever had that? What is that? It's like coffee in ice cream. In ice cream? Yeah,ed coffee, though. Ever had that? What is that? It's like coffee and ice cream. And ice cream? Yeah, it's very good.

Their bread is very good. Coffee and ice cream sounds like something I would like. I don't know why I've never had that before. I mean, it's kind of like a frappuccino. It's probably what a frappuccino is at. Orange mocha frappuccinos. What's that? Zoolander.

You grew up watching that one not very much what do you think what do you think is the movie you could quote the most accurately from start to finish or just know the most quotes do either the sandlot really yeah really really really liked the sandlot growing up like i'm trying to think like really make sure I do this right I think the Sandlot's probably number one because I watched it kind of recently with Catherine's family and a bunch of them hadn't ever seen it before which I thought was wild um what about Home Alone I know you know that movie also Home Alone that's a good one I didn't think about that yes Home Alone one and two if anyone listening ever hears about a couple's Home Alone trivia night,

I would like to nominate Brad and Catherine. I don't know what game we were playing. This was years ago, but somehow we got it. Oh, it was at K-Life. Was it? Oh, yeah, yeah. But they were just like, as a couple, as a team, just they knew every answer to every Home Alone question.

It was awesome. And, like, we knew, like, follow-up facts to those answers. Yeah. I love Home Alone. Not only was he the director, you know know in the first and second and fourth one but also his son was an extra in the third one which his dad wasn't even a director in it's like oh all right road's getting bumpy i apologize for the background noise but you'll be all right it's so if you've listened to this far in the podcast you know

you obviously like us so you're not stopping now because of the production value brother oh shoot okay here's a thought uh well what first of all what's your answer for that question sorry i'm just struggling i can't you know i'm nervous about the mic falling over i'm not doing my mac and cheese i got 140 degree laptop in my lap i'm gonna guess your answer is dumb and dumber or liar liar dumb and dumber really yeah i quote it all the time without even realizing i'm quoting a movie when we were back in the youtube days when me and josh were full-time tubing you know i would quote movies pretty often just because it's just my personality and how i that's what guys do honestly yeah it's such a good thing and even though it kind of takes away

from the joke to explain it in a way to like show the movie clip i feel like it was a good way to like not you know alienate people from the joke or them feel you know outside the loop so i would always show like if i said you know some quote from something then i would show the actual right movie you know scene um but i remember there'd be a couple videos i'm like okay i can't do this because on every one because i don't even know if i had an original thought for 10 minutes Because I don't even know if I had an original thought. For 10 minutes straight, I don't even know if I said anything that was my own. I just quoted other stuff. And half of it's from Dumb and Dumber.

I don't even realize it. Dumb and Dumber in the office. It's just like, I don't even have my own vernacular anymore. I'm just regurgitating other things that are funny. I mean, I think that that's how I have gotten all my humor. It's just by watching other things. I'm like, that's funny. I'm going to use that.

And then, yeah, kind of analyzing it. Like, now why is that funny? And maybe twist it, you know, a little bit, but yeah. What do you have going on this week? This week? This upcoming week? Yeah. I don't know.

One thing that's kind of cool that my dad, so my dad just retired. Oh, nice. And he texted me the other day and said, hey, hey on Tuesday I want to make it a Brad Ellis family day and he's like that can mean whatever you want to mean it can mean that I come and help you work in the shop it can mean that I watch Hattie while Catherine goes and has lunch with her friends you know we can all go to lunch together whatever you want to do so I don't know exactly what's going on on Tuesday with my dad, but I know that I'm going to see him and I know that it's going to be fun. So that's cool. Nice. Like my dad, just like a, yeah, he's just a very servant hearted guy. And so he's just

always looking for fun things to do and time with people and everything. So what are you going to choose? I don't know. He's like really, really good at organizing organization. And so I think it'd be kind of fun to like have him come and just like deep clean my shop with me and like really get everything organized. Well, he rolls up and you haven't started deep cleaning. He may rethink that family day offer. No, that's the thing is that he enjoys it. Like he's not a very handy guy like he's not one that's going to be like dad let's let's build this fence today like he'd be like okay i'll hold the wood for you but you can like organize and clean yeah like that's a sweet spot yeah he's

awesome at that and when you get done with it and it looks amazing so i don't know we'll see what happens but um beyond that i don't know if i have anything too specifically i'm working on building a website for my business that's right that's exciting um that's that's something that's going on uh i've had a pretty busy week this past week with orders and so i have another busy week upcoming making a desk for a friend of mine in oklahoma city nice Shout out Jeff Hendrickson. So yeah, nothing too crazy. What about you? What do I got? We don't have basketball this week. We can talk about that for a second. Oh, snap. Yeah, we got to update y'all on our basketball league. So it started right kind of when the podcast started. Had a full season on Monday nights. I missed like

half of them, but we ended the season on winning streak won like three games in a row squeaked into the playoffs had our semi-final game last monday night and won pulled it out yes five point game something like that yeah it was close we all played pretty well it was fun and then the finals were an hour later so went to quick trip fueled up got my body armor i tried to get brad to eat a taquito he did not but he's a temple baby i gotta protect it that's why i have mac and cheese at four o'clock in the afternoon oh man and uh yeah they made it the championship game and uh played some some punks yeah i'll say it some some punkaroos and the worst the worst behaved kids on the team their dad and their grandpa were at the game

which is a little weird yeah it's an adult men's rec league and to top it off like there's just no room there's not even like bleachers like there is no room for anyone to sit down. And so, yeah. So, like, these guys who are just, like, extremely mouthy all game, their dad and grandpa are just right there, like, seeing it all happen, which is, like, kind of an interesting dynamic. It was a funny thing. But whatever. We lost.

It's fine. I was just upset about it, obviously. It was one thing. Like, they were better than us, but we didn't play very well either. Like, it was a little bit of both. Don't you think? Yeah, because we lost by, like, obviously. It was one thing, like, they were better than us, but we didn't play very well either. Like, it was a little bit of both. Don't you think? Yeah, because we lost by, like, 15. But it was pretty close until, like, the last three

minutes. I think we were down by eight, and we had a wide-open three-pointer that we missed. Missed it, and they went out and made one. Yeah, could have made it a five-point game. It's fine. It was pretty, you know, miraculous, though, that we got to the championship because the season before we were two and seven this next season we were four and three is that right

yeah incredible so we played two less regular season games shoot we were two and five oh were we oh no i don't know i was i was taking you're being smart with me oh no i was taking your word i was, I didn't even realize we played two less games. No, we were two and five. Oh, gotcha. We played seven games. That's crazy. Yeah. We lost two games from our schedule.

I don't know. Maybe the summer is shorter than the spring. Some of the equinox. But anyway, so yeah, basketball season's over. I need to find some. And my volleyball season's over. I got to find ways to stay active in the fall. But as far as my week goes, I'll just be making a lot of videos with Trey. I've been trying to brainstorm some premises.

Let's see if I can think of any right now. You can just give me some immediate feedback. So what's somewhat tough about what we do is for Trey to monetize a video on Facebook, it has to be three minutes long. So it's easy to come up minutes long so it's like it's easy to come up with an idea that's like oh yeah I could think of a couple funny jokes with this but it's like but can I extend that you know is that a three minute video idea is what gets tricky sometimes but um let's see one I just had yesterday was something about uh like I don't know what you

would call exactly but like the annoying guy when you get back from vacation. You know, just everything. Oh, that's a cool like turquoise shirt. The water was super turquoise in Fiji. Like he still has his puka shell necklace on. Yeah. Oh, sorry. My necklace kind of got in the way.

It's authentic. I got it from Kauai. Oh, hey. We just got back home and Hattie's pulling up. She's walking up. Get her on the pod home, and Hattie's pulling up. She's walking up. Get her on the pod. Hey, Hattie. Hi.

What have you been doing? Look, this is a microphone. Can you say microphone? Mm-hmm. I have a microphone in Mama's car. You have a microphone in Mama's car? Yeah. A toy microphone?

Yeah, toy. Did you have Mama's car? Yeah. A toy microphone? Yeah, a toy. Did you have a good nap? Yeah. Good. I went to church and I dropped off some trash. And then I went to Chick-fil-A. Hey. Can you tell Mr. Jake that we went to Chick-fil-A this morning? What did we do at Chick-fil-A, do you remember?

Today. Today? morning what did we do at Chick-fil-a do you remember today you were in the play place did you go down the slide did you go in the car you in the car I was gonna say the car is scary yeah it is but the slides fun yeah we were just talking about what we're talking about video video premise talking about going on vacation do you remember when we went to the beach yeah what did we do at the beach yeah we went to the pool whoa yeah. Yeah. That was fun. The cool pool. The cool pool. Yeah, there were two. There was an actual, like, pool pool and then there was a hot tub. She doesn't like the word hot very much, so we called it the

warm pool. In the cool pool. In the cool pool. That's amazing. So how do you remember... That's just crazy that she's capable of remembering memories. She's super smart, dude. Yeah. Do you remember, like, we've been reading, we've been teaching her about the alphabet. Do you remember A is for?

A is for? No, you're not going to say it now? She saw the H on my shirt today and said, that's H for Hattie. Whoa. I don't think you're supposed to learn that for years. Yeah. Oh, she's very smart. That's awesome.

She's a genius. You might have a little savant on your hands. Let's think about other things you can do for this video. I just think, like, any kind of, like, just holding on to memorabilia of, like, mediocre, like, a wristband from the all-inclusive resort that you wear for, like, you know, three more weeks afterwards. Yeah, like, showing up to work in sandals. Oh, oh i forgot in in on the island this is the first time this is the first time i've had to actually wear shorts um or not wear shorts wear shoes um i'm trying to think that's what it could be kind of funny but i don't know if you know if you can get to

three minutes with it i was also thinking there's a whole whole list of similar ideas of if you were honest while doing so and so. I think that's an easy format. So if you were honest with your Uber driver, I think that's an easy format. Or like, if Postmates drivers were honest. Something like that. You know, just like, whoa,

fatty. Getting a large fry and a large drink two days in a row. What are we going to do? We're making days in a row. I'm going to do. What are we going to do? We're making a podcast right now. That's a fun idea. Both those. Sometimes I like more of the videos that aren't as negative.

Like, the honest thoughts ones, like, almost always, like, a negative honest thought. Right? I think it's just, like, things you think in your head, but you don't say out loud. And the reason you're not saying it out loud is probably because they're, because it would be rude. Yeah. That's my only, I see what you're saying. That's just me.

A, uh, like I never liked the office episodes where Michael was just depressed the whole time. Nearly as much as I liked the ones. What the, you just turn on my turn signal. You know,

like the ones where he was depressed,'t enjoy those as much yeah anyway the uh well brad you will like the one the video that i was editing right before i came over here will be coming out this week sometime dating now versus back then oh okay i think it's not bad i mean i'm still in the process of editing it but i wrote like probably three-fourths of it yeah so it'll be kind of cool i'm just excited for it to come out. That's the most you've ever like written for him? It feels like the most I've contributed to a video joke-wise. Was it your idea? I came to him with, I said like,

I want to do a video idea of like dating in 2019. And he was like, well, I was already thinking about doing a video of like dating now versus then. I was like, oh, that's even better. Yeah. So let's do that. And so I'm not saying it's going to blow up. Like it probably won't go that viral at all, but it's just fun to contribute that much.

Hey, you never know, man. Anyway, let's sign off, Hattie. Hattie, can you say, the podcast is over. The podcast is over. Say, thanks for listening. Thanks for listening. Say, we'll see you next week. We'll see you next week.
