Welcome back Ghostrunners podcast. We have a office fun facts for you today, Jacob.
Oh, like corporate America.
Corporate America in the form of a television show on America's television.
You want to start over?
Yep.
Uh-oh, ooh, I think this tight beat means that it's going down with some random thoughts and
white meat too. Midwest best friends eating fast food on repeat.
So come along, let's have some fun and go ahead, get on your feet.
Cause it's the Ghost Rubs Podcast.
Everybody morning, we're taking back Ghost Rubs Podcast.
Ghost Rubs Podcast.
Yeah, we're keeping all this in. So fun fact number one about the office tv show
angela kinsey was a phone operator for 1-800 dentist when she auditioned for the show
used to just be able to solicit a dentist over the phone yeah that's the most fun fact about
that is you could just call just a dentist and just like it hurts yay uh root canal here i'll go in yeah i can do it myself
right lidocaine you can ship that over the counter um i don't know uh yeah that is kind of an
interesting like yeah they thought that was like the cutting edge like you just call 1-800-DENTIST
tell them which one of your canines hurts and they'll fix it up right there it seems like
something you should really be in person for. Good for Angela.
Fun fact number two, the temperature on set
was apparently kept at a cold 64 degrees Fahrenheit.
Okay.
What do you got it set out here?
74.
74?
I think.
It feels so cold in here for 74.
I got good vents.
You got great vents.
Good pipes.
Good for you for 74.
And I mean, I would have guessed 68
only because I didn't want to say
i walked into trey's house this morning and i think he had it set at 45 really i sweat bad
every time i bet you and lindsey both have a problem yeah i think i'm just nervous a little
bit i'm just okay i i get the back sweats okay uh my my my uh page is not loading anymore so
those are the two fun facts we have
okay we're back with the start of episode 160. And what?
I'm not going to say it again.
I wanted to bring up something that happened a few weeks ago that I forgot about.
When we first launched the Girls Gone Mild channel, there was some confusion.
There was like, which channel is this?
There was a lot of support.
There was some hate.
But there were a few spare comments that really caught our eye, Brad, if you remember.
Yeah.
And not the ones comparing Morgan to Channing Tatum.
I'm talking about.
We did have fun with those.
That was fun.
Lindsay got compared to Hillary Duff this week.
I don't know if you saw that one.
That's fair.
Yeah.
You can see it.
The hair.
But some of my favorite ones in the G-Droids video that featured you and I and the girls
were quite the backhanded compliment because they went,
they were along the lines of like
huh i guess girls will be with anyone if they're funny yeah i guess it just shows that it goes to
show that if you're funny you can get any girl you want it's like okay so you're basically just
saying our looks are terrible yeah it's cool to see these girls like into personalities right
you can tell these girls really care about humor
because nothing else is really going too well for these guys wow it's amazing that they were
able to cast two what appears to be blind women um because there's no way they could be married
to these men and still have vision the cgi they do on those eyes to make them look like they're
not blind you think they could cgi the guy's jawlines um use their time that way
and we're back brad how was your week? Week's been great, brother.
It's been...
Will you look at me? I feel uncomfortable.
I'm listening.
Okay, fine. Week's been great.
It's been an interesting week
because
I feel so uncomfortable.
If you guys are looking on YouTube...
No, it's alright. I just feel like no one cares about me right now.
Thanks, man. Scott cares um week's been good i'm so distracted it's amazing how like not looking at somebody could distract you so much i gotta cheat to the camera we got a new
setup tonight i have to cheat yeah uh my week has been good guys nice it has been slower um
which i was telling scott on the way here, that it feels like I am not as like not being as productive has like messed with my overall mood.
Like like when I'm busy, obviously, I feel stressed from being busy.
But because thank you.
But because I've like literally not been as busy this week, I felt less accomplished.
And like,
there's something mentally like there,
like I think men,
well,
not men,
people,
humans are like meant to work.
And this week I have definitely done stuff,
but not as much as weeks past.
And so like,
I've just struggled a little bit with that.
So that's,
that's,
that's what's going on.
Okay.
I'm getting ready to go to Florida.
No Alabama. Yeah. Florida to Florida. No, Alabama.
Florida line, basically. Florida, Alabama.
Great band.
And yeah, that's
going to be crazy. I think I'm a little bit stressed about that.
Stressed about vacation?
Stressed about getting to vacation.
And a little bit about the vacation.
I don't know
how much of a vacation it's going to be. I think it's going to be a trip.
You know what I mean?
I think it's like you've got three kids that you're worried about in an ocean.
You know?
Like if Rose goes in that ocean, she's done.
By herself.
Yeah.
Barracudas.
Because of the coods.
The big coods.
What did you say?
Nice.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Maybe we should reenact some of that.
No, it'll be it'll be
really great you would play the iceberg yeah iceberg straight ahead that'll be beau saying that
and hattie will be you don't hear people quote the titanic often good for you oh i love that line

How's your week been?
Good.
I'm getting some sand out of my ears right now.

conversation with katherine all the way over here yeah what'd you think were you good uh that was
that was a healthy marriage to a T right there. Really? Yeah.
What makes you say just, I'm just like, Hey, you do whatever you need.
She was supportive. Yeah. She was like, yeah.
She understood the grind. Yeah. Yeah.
And I had just gotten like,
literally she had gotten back like two minutes before you came to pick me up.
Scott and I rode here together. And so like I put the kids down by myself.
And so it was like, she, I think she had like most respect for me in that moment. She's like,
yeah, she just appreciated me. So it's like Saturdays.
Exactly. Put in your emotional deposits. You redeem them on Sunday. That's right.
Transactional relationships. Yes, exactly. Yes. That's Rachel and I are working on it.
Yeah. What are you doing so far to input?
So every time that, uh, really what I'm trying to do is extract.
So every time that she like will set someone else on the volleyball team, except for me,
I just keep a little tally.
Yep.
I just kind of keep track.
And then I will slowly like redeem those.
Okay.
Like, Hey Rachel, I want to play.
I want to play 72 holes of golf today.
Yeah.
And she'll just say, she'll say, I don't know about that. And you'll say, Oh really? What about, uh, Rachel, I want to play 72 holes of golf today. Yeah. And she'll just say, I don't know about that.
And you'll say, oh, really?
What about 18-5?
Yeah.
That spiked down on us on the first hit.
Yeah.
I'm going to sign out.
Yeah.
We needed to sign out.
You said Grayson.
Okay.
Yeah, exactly.
So it'll be six tallies.
So that's kind of what I'm doing.
I'm harvesting right now.
She's an Iowa.
She'll appreciate that I'm harvesting. Yep. That's right. Actually, she just did text me right now. Not about six tallies. So that's kind of what I'm doing. I'm harvesting right now. She's an Iowa. She'll appreciate that I'm harvesting.
That's right.
Actually, she just did text me right now.
Not about the tallies.
She said, I'm wearing your Ghostrunner sweatshirt and it smells like all caps Diva.
Lucky girl.
I wish I could smell Diva right now.
When we were at Topgolf, you were like 15 feet away and I smelled you.
Yeah, it was Diva.
It was nice.
It was so good.
It was so good. Yeah, it was Diva. It was nice. It was so good. It was so good.
Oh, it's good.
If anybody's out there that just wants a really high quality, like very different than most
like unique gift out there, get somebody Tyler's Glamorous Wash Diva detergent.
It is like $20 to $45, depending on how big of a size you get.
And it is so, it's expensive for detergent, but it is so good, guys.
And if you're Brad in college, you can actually smell it in women's underwear
from several feet away.
Yeah, I wish I didn't tell that story.
I didn't know it was her underwear.
I was just like, you smell good.
My mom listens to this.
I'm sorry, George M.
I didn't know it was her underwear.
And that's how I got a hold of him in court so how was i supposed to know uh dude speaking of top golf so yesterday was tuesday always a good
day to go to top golf we couldn't do our normal top golf tuesday thing we were shooting all day
trade made us work during nine to five that was weird hours that's like really weird um but i get
down at trey's It was a long day.
I was truly there from like nine to five, 10 to five.
Which by the way, nine to five, let's just, do you know anybody who works nine to five?
It's eight to five.
It's eight to five.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Everyone's like, oh, you got the nine to five, nine to five grind.
It's like.
It's worse.
It's eight to five and they don't even usually like, they kind of frown upon you taking that
one hour for lunch even.
Yep. So.
I keep going back and forth on like how much people do at their jobs.
Like talking to Morgan who just got here,
she's like, yeah, I've been here a week and a half.
They haven't given me an assignment yet.
Oh, the onboarding process for corporate America is terrible.
She's like, yeah, I've just been watching Netflix
waiting for someone to assign me something.
I was like, corporate America, that's what it is?
Yeah.
You just have no work, no jobs for people.
And it's like, I hear that like decently often. often i'm just like i work like three or four hours a day
but i'm in the office like you know eight well tell them i'm like that's crazy when i when i
said that thing about like oh yeah it's just hard like when you don't feel like you got much work
done like you didn't do much today what do you say to that i said what did i say that you're like i
deal with that every single week dude oh yeah yeah yeah if i if i work
from home i truly i hope nobody in dfa like i i worked from home yesterday i took an hour nap
just during the day i thought you were gonna be like like i just really struggled to concentrate
i took a nap that's what i'm saying though but you gotta i mean the work from home life is different last
couple hours of the day after that nap prior to that nap i was you were struggling yeah i was
distracting myself with my phone and everything else and then i was like okay let's get a little
shut eye full power now yeah it's something that's good for me to hear because there's a
few days where i spend all day at trey's house we go from writing to shooting to directing like
yesterday and then i get done and i feel so wiped and exhausted. And I'm like, I don't deserve to feel this way. We were making
YouTube videos, but also I'm like, I've been doing nothing but like making decisions and
trying to be funny for like seven hours straight. And so maybe I'm, it's okay to be tired.
I think if you feel tired, you feel tired. I don't think there's anything wrong with that,
but I get more tired whenever I'm working at Trace than when I'm working, like physically working in my shop.
That makes me feel better.
I mean, my feet hurt a lot more when I'm working than when I'm working.
My wrist never hurts as much telling jokes.
Especially like when we first get there, we sit there and we think about like writing for like an hour to three hours.
And so that just like just sitting is exhausting to me.
Like,
it's just like,
just,
you'd have to be sitting in the pool.
Oh,
I'd love to.
I'd be floating baby.
Yeah.
Maybe,
maybe the elbows on the side or something.
Nips out.
Nips out.
Say out of the yarn.
Yeah.
Gun.
Yeah.
Knives out.
Trilogy.
Nips out is the next one.
No.
But just like sitting there,
like not as active,
like just like just sitting there, like brainstorming. Like sometimes there's like, you know, 15, 20, 30 seconds where we're just like sitting there, like not as active, like just like just sitting there,
like brainstorming,
like sometimes there's like,
you know,
15,
20,
30 seconds where we're just like,
so like anything else we can think of for owning versus renting.
Oh,
I mean,
Trey and I sat there today for like three minutes straight.
Just trying to think of premises,
you know,
just like,
yeah,
what's going on.
That is more exhausting to me than like moving around and being consistently busy well good so yeah
that's good to hear don't feel bad it's more tiring than manual labor i mean yeah i think
the internal struggle i'm like you can't feel tired you're you have a dream job people would
kill for this job i also think there's something with eye fatigue i don't know do you like i i'm
not like a blue light glasses guy i don't know if I'll go that far. Is it eye fatigue, like lowercase I because of iPhones or is it like my eye?
E-Y-E.
E-Y-E.
Are you doing that?
Yeah, I was like, I don't know.
Yeah, no, like your screen, like screens, like make your eyes tired.
Well, and I could see them calling it eye fatigue with a short eye.
I think you should.
Apple's new treadmill.
Yeah, rebrand it to eye fatigue.
And maybe like make a whole like kiosk at the mall where it's only blue light
glasses to do kiosk you've always talked about being a kiosk guy yeah ever since ever since we
started this podcast we're like if there's anything else we can do from this it'd be
opening up a kiosk at a local mall only i saw my uh vice principal the other day and he reminded
me he's like there he is most likely to open a kiosk i was like i forgot the kiosk king of the
midwest i forgot they voted me that i thought it was weird that that a kiosk i was like i forgot the kiosk king of the midwest i forgot
they voted me that i thought it was weird that that was an option but i was principal remember
yeah well that was a big deal i was pretty big into it no but yeah you start a kiosk and says
eye fatigue with an under case under case lower case i yeah i like it thanks don't don't yeah that'd be perfect um anyway i go to so after a full day yesterday i forgot
the timing of it exactly but um i wanted to blow off a little steam not steam wanted to blow off a
little fatigue i fatigue and genuinely it was tuesday so it's like oh i'll go to top golf just
by myself like an hour it was raining out yeah it's gonna be nice dude this experience at top golf was like i don't
know where to start telling the story okay so for one they tell me i get there and they say um
it's gonna be an hour to an hour and a half wait i was like whoa and it was like really raining
yesterday it was really raining like to the point where i i had the thought like maybe i'd go to top
golf but i was like even if you're like underneath the like roof it would
still get you could get some trippage potentially oh yeah um and i was like whoa i was not expected
to be busy and they're like yeah it was a lot of kids last day at school so i think a lot of people
took them here it's like okay i go to my car i say i that's fine and i edit a couple videos make some
instagram stories post some stuff to patreon it's very productive time in my car they say your bay is ready they text me i go in there they say 124.
i go down there there's still people standing there like not doing anything looks like they're
kind of waiting a credit card i stand there five minutes ten minutes i don't say a thing non-conf
jake and i'm just being patient being patient being patient I finally get up there. And this is a story much like when we
went to Disney World as a family. I remember my sister, there were all these children around her
crying, throwing tantrums. Caitlin didn't cry. They said, hey, for you not crying,
you guys can have a fast pass the rest of the day. This guy gave me an extra hour of Topgolf time.
Like you had to buy an hour or just like free hour he said put in your time and i'm gonna add some time to it he didn't
tell me how much time he was like hey i noticed you're being really patient dude i appreciate that
you put in however much time you want i'm gonna add some time to it and sometimes i was like well
i was gonna do an hour i don't know so i did an hour and then he added an hour to it. So back was sore this morning.
I could not.
It was a free hour.
So that's a fun start.
It's like, wow, it pays to be just a good guy, I guess.
And that was the last thing that was good about it.
Okay.
I was hit by a ball.
What?
I was hit by a club.
What? Yeah. It was awesome. Tell me more. Tell? I was hit by a club. What?
Yeah.
It was awesome.
Tell me more.
Tell us more.
There's just, there's kids everywhere.
It's pandemonium.
There's screaming.
There's like a dad trying to give his four-year-old a golf lesson.
You know, it's like, maybe just let him have fun.
It's like 6 p.m.
What time is this?
Yeah.
This is like from six to seven.
Yeah.
You know, whatever.
Okay.
And yeah, actually, right when I first got there, I became the guy who's still like plugging
in his numbers. Like, I'm going to give you some extra time. I'm up there, I'm not even kidding. The guy is still like plugging in his numbers
Like I'm gonna give you some extra time. I'm up there. I'm like, thank you so much a club falls down from the sky
Bounces off the ground and then like, you know softly like bumps into me like a club just falls from the sky
You're like this is a bad sign. Yeah, and then he was like, I think he was like scared
I was gonna like sue him or something, you know, he was just like, oh my gosh, are you okay?
Like, is there anything we can do?
I was like, oh, you're all good.
You gave me an extra hour of time, dude.
Oh, the worker said that.
Yeah.
He was like freaking out.
I'm just imagining like the dad from the second row being like, hey bro, you doing alright?
Sorry about that.
He's hanging over the edge.
A little too much butter on the mac and cheese bites.
You know, like, oh.
I'm just kind of caught in the net a little bit.
Oh, shoot, man.
Did that get you?
Did that get you? Yeah. too much butter on the mac and cheese bites. You know, like, oh!
I'm just kind of caught in the net a little bit. Oh, shoot,
man! Did that get you?
Yeah.
He got stuck in there. Oh, no!
You all right? I'm imagining Jim Carrey
when the airbag goes off and Dumb and Dumber, and he's
trying to, like, get out of it. He's, like, making it worse,
just struggling, just hitting it.
So I get by a club instantly.
And then, yeah, like 30, 45 minutes later, a ball gets shanked like off a metal thing
and then comes back to me and just like hits me in the arm, like decently softly.
And yeah, I just kind of waved like, it's okay.
And they waved back and that was it.
And then you, yeah, turned your body and swung on his way.
Oh, that was a fun part.
I forgot, I didn't turn my body to anyone.
But towards the end of the night,
this was like, I wish all of my friends were here for this.
So the like little, what's it called?
The picker, is that what it's called?
The cart ball picker, whatever.
Oh, the car that rides around.
Whatever it's called.
The range truck, small truck range.
The Range Rover.
Range Rover. The Range Rover ball um is driving in front of me is it red
and it like dies for some reason right in front of me about 40 yards away and i'm on the bottom
level and all of a sudden it is showtime.
Pull out the old hybrid, put in the back of my stance and we're just stinging this thing.
I am nailing the Red Rover.
Dude, I'm not kidding.
Kids start, they stop hitting to watch me nail this truck.
I forgot.
That's how it ended.
I had like five minutes left on my time and I'm just, I mean, nothing.
Yeah.
I was like, it's actually JT operations. You guys gather around, get your phones out. Dude, I mean, nothing. Yeah. I was like, it's actually JT operations. But yeah, you guys can gather around.
Get your phones out.
Dude, I was nailing this.
Oh, yeah?
What else you got?
Dude, it was awesome.
Just banging off that cage.
Oh, that's awesome.
You know, I hit the front.
I hit the tire.
You know, it ricocheted off.
It was a good time.
Did you say ricocheted?
It's just a fun little quirk about me.
I like to pronounce the T's at the end sometimes.
Tribuchet?
Those are about the only two. I say
buffet normally.
Hattie's learning how to spell right now and she's like
I'll tell her, you know, like
she'll try to guess the word and I'll be like, actually that
H-A-V, it has an E on the end.
She'll go, oh, I'm really bad
at the silent letters. That's fair.
Yeah.
It's like, yeah, everyone is. You just the silent letters. It's like, that's fair. Yeah. Yeah.
It's like, yeah, everyone is.
Yeah.
You just have to kind of learn it.
Think about the sentence.
I'm really bad at the, you know, like things I can't.
Yeah.
Like see or hear.
Dude, English, the English language is so hard to learn.
Glad I was born into it.
Oh my gosh.
First thing I think about when I wake up.
Yes.
Glad my parents spoke English.
Yeah.
Oh, that's what was all I said.
Send me some time.
Kiosks and English speaking.
So how's your computer?
Can I steal a charger?
Yes, please.
Cool.
Yes, please.
Oh man.
So did you, did you push some pee at Topgolf?
I love pushing pee at Topgolf.
It was so funny.
It got to the point.
Did you say that to kids?
Kids would have loved it.
I did not.
You guys want me to push P on this?
I can try to choke down the pitching wedge.
I know you guys want to see me push P.
I mean, last time we went, Luke Hoagland was even like,
you still saying that?
Did he say something like that to you?
I don't know.
He probably said it under his breath to me.
Because it started with Brad taking the pitching wedge.
The club says P on it.
He's kind of being funny like, hey, if you don't mind,
we're going to push P here. And I think brad sees his laugh so he's like all right
let me just run this joke into the ground so by the end of it it's like it makes sense like
hey sir can i get your refill yeah we can push p on uh some dr p please you know whatever i
thought you'd use it as a verb for everything no i would guys we have a lot more minutes push p
i'd be like okay that's like 155 should i push eight on that like i feel like you're using
push p for anything possible i just yeah it was one of those things was like okay the initial
joke was kind of funny but it's also funny if you just like yeah intentionally just really
ridiculous like so yeah we push p a lot and i'm just so cool for calling it that one last thing
about top golf uh we made that little video with each other the day where seven of us came uh which is fun that got uh three million views on facebook
and climbing and alice honnolding up oh oh free solo have we ever told you how we do that that's
another inside joke that jake and i have yeah the youtube studio app it's a really cool metric
it'll show you your most recent video
and how it's doing compared to the last 10 based on that timeframe. So, okay. Your video has been
uploaded for two and a half hours based on the last 10 videos at their two and a half hour mark.
Yours is seven out of 10. That's not that great. Not that great. But like sheltered kid goes to
college. I think started out like six out of 10 or something. We were like, we were excited about
this is going to be a good one. And six,
that's an,
I go,
don't worry.
It'll climb.
Wait for it to climb.
And then we'll check on the app and we'll like,
I'll send like gifts of like a panda bear climbing up a bamboo tree.
Yeah.
And Jacob sits on the back,
like a Spider-Man costume.
Yeah.
Yesterday,
I think we came out with one,
the grad parties one.
And it started out like five out of 10.
We're like,
that's pretty good for grad parties.
And then I see on the corner of my eye,
Jake,
just going like, go away going i was climbing down i was i was the guy in the second row of top golf i was going down i had to check on where that club went it's a pretty fun
like like you know in the middle of the night sometimes i'll get a text from jake like just
so it's a fun little joke we have a fun little thing fun little metric here's a new inside joke
for us.
Okay.
I,
I can't believe I haven't roasted Scott for this in the last three weeks
that we've done a podcast.
By the way,
Scott is here in camera with a microphone.
So everyone say hi to Scott.
So Scott,
before we recorded two weeks ago,
Scott came over.
It's the first time he's come over and seen my newborn baby rose thank you
yeah okay um and so i'm sitting there holding her oh i do i'm sitting there holding her at the in
like the swing in our backyard and i'm sitting there and like scott doesn't like really acknowledge
her at first i was like that's fine whatever it's like my baby i don't know oh god i don't know you
probably have good ball
security you know you probably couldn't even see her yeah exactly three points of contact
and then scott finally just goes caroline
and i go what yeah katherine's sister yeah her name's rosie and he's like i knew that i knew that
he's definitely like texting me about like how's rosie how's catherine you know
like it's not like he didn't know but like he like just froze in that moment
oh he brain burped hard brain burp yeah so anyway that's another inside joke we can
i i just i mean i'll
never let him live that long even when she's like older yeah i'm like i like it dude i like i like
the idea of like having like you're the only one that calls her carolina you know kind of like what
we used to call you back thundercat thundercat jake used to be thundercat to haddie we were doing
some like some classical conditioning on Hattie.
Just got to test in the waters.
Seeing it.
It really is like.
Yeah, that was something where like when she gets older,
she goes to college.
So have you always gone by Rose or like, right?
Well, when I grew up, when I was little,
my parents called me Rosie.
My grandparents always called me Rose.
And then I had this uncle Scott.
Uncle Scott Sell.
Just this guy.
He would come, he called me Caroline.
Yeah.
It's my middle name but yeah
i was like he's listening to some outcasts
that's perfect that works pretty well. So anyway. It's cohesive.
It all pushed P together.
Okay.
I have a scenario that happened to me earlier this week,
but I want to know what you guys would do in this scenario.
So I would be patient so I could get extra golf.
How much patience or what kind of patience?
Tremendous patience.
Gosh.
How far you've come.
I don't think I'm done having a speech impediment on stage.
I think you lean into it.
You purposely have a speech impediment.
Really?
I think you develop new speech impediments.
All right, Charlotte.
What's up, Charlotte?
Birmingham.
Montgomery.
What up, Montgomery?
Y'all know I like Tahassee and i like miami but there's nothing like orlando oh anyway okay so i i think i mentioned on the podcast before how often when i will go
like to a store and i don't know exactly what i'm trying to find or like where it is. I like kind of like
freak out a little bit and I eat my body like subconsciously is like, you need to go to the
bathroom right now. And right when I feel like I need to go to the bathroom, I can't, I can't
concentrate until I go to the bathroom. Like I heard you say this before. Yeah. I want to get
it looked at. Well, it's yeah, it's, it's a mental thing for sure. Because I don't feel that way
going into the, to the store, you know, whatever. Um, but it's like
specifically like home Depot. Like if I don't know exactly where the screws are and there's like,
you know, a hundred different options for screws, it's like, Oh, do I want those? Like, Oh, okay.
I don't, Oh gosh, I gotta go back. So anyway, I was at woodcraft the other day, which if you
don't know, woodcraft is like a more like woodworking centered place, but it's like a
pretty small, like it's smaller than a Walgreens, bigger than a little bout centered place, but it's like a pretty small,
like it's smaller than a Walgreens,
bigger than a little boutique shop,
but it's not very big. Like,
um,
like multiple kiosks.
How many kiosks?
They probably have two to three people working there at a time.
Okay.
Like not very many people.
Like an ACE hardware.
No,
smaller than ACE hardware,
much smaller,
half, maybe, maybe a third. I'm good with the size parameters. If an Ace Hardware? No, smaller than Ace Hardware. Much smaller. Half.
Maybe a third.
I'm good with the size parameters if you just want to move on.
27% of an Ace probably.
How many square feet?
I don't know.
I don't know that.
I'm not good at the square footage.
But anyway, I had that happen to me with number two.
I was like, I got to deuce right now.
I can't figure out which saw blade I need right now for this thing.
And so they have like a little like boot, like not a boutique, but like a very like non-commercial bathroom.
Like it's just like, it's just like a normal, like a bathroom you'd see like a lake house
or something.
Like it's just not nice.
A bathroom you'd see at a lake house.
Like a lake house is kind of run down that, you know, like your uncle like owns, but you're
like, he lets me use it.
It's kind of nasty
and grubby like on the floor like a gas station bathroom the gas station okay yeah okay well the
gas station is the lake house of the plants anyway so i go in there and i i drop drop the boys okay
at the pool and i go to courtesy flush because it's like a small enough
store i go to courtesy flush and it's like it was already like the toilet was already running
and oh yeah i've been there and the courtesy flush did not work yeah i was like crap exactly
i was like i don't know enough about toilets to fix this i would have come i would have helped
was there a plunger in there there was no plunger well no and that's the thing i don't well i don't
know it wasn't like clogged i think it was just still running it was like
perpetually flushing like water's going in and out perpetually flushing it was just like doing like
the windy yeah it just like wasn't wasn't that's what i'm saying like overturning yeah i guess yeah
like water's coming in and going out consistently yeah i guess yeah i was thinking like it was
constantly making that noise no yeah exactly what you're saying.
And so I, for, for a good three to four minutes, maybe five, I had to like wrestle with like,
I think I'm just going to wipe and leave it, leave right away.
What, what would you do in this situation?
Because it's like, it's a small enough store.
It's not like a Home Depot or a Target or something where it's like, there's no way
they would know who did that. Like, like this is the one bath. And also it's a, it's not like a home depot or a target or something where it's like there's no way they would know who did that like like this is the one bath and also it's a it's a family bath
like it's like they don't have very many women that come in the store but it's like if a woman
wants to go she's going that's where she goes so like these guys these old men that work there
would have to take care of that but i but i that was 100 my thought was like i just gotta i just
gotta i just gotta leave this place and say sorry.
I would have done full surveillance of the area and really seen what tools we had to work with.
I was just sure I got most likely to open a kiosk.
But just under that, it was most likely to unclog a thousand toilets in his life.
Have you ever unclogged with something
besides oh no actually i've heard about oh i got all sorts of stories about this
all sorts of stories yeah at isaac's ex-girlfriend's house oh man yeah that one wasn't
good um yeah did it in a hotel room a few weeks ago um rachel's family's trailer you know a couple
months ago that one's like that that one was done from the start.
A trailer? A trailer toilet?
Trailer, yeah.
They made an entire scavenger hunt.
The whole family was in on it.
The whole family was trying to guide me to the plunger.
What a prank.

So yeah, I would have tried to like fix the toilet.
Really.
Did you pop the hood?
No.
So as I was contemplating,
the end of the story is not that,
is it kind of anticlimactic.
It finally turned over after like literally five minutes
and I just flushed it and it worked.
Hey, tremendous patience.
Tremendous patience.
It pays.
But I, I mean, I was fully prepared to just leave it.
Just leave and get a saw from somewhere else.
Yeah.
Just never go to Woodcraft again.
Or just come back and you're going to give them a lot of money the next time.
Buy things I do not need.
I like the picture of you just short strides sprinting out of that store.
Oh, here's a fun fact real quick.
We didn't do too many pranks as kids,
but I remember there was one time
where Scott went to the bathroom downstairs in my house
and he needed toilet paper
and we just refused to give it to him.
And so we had to pull up his pants.
Like my mom was there at the house,
like pull up his pants, walk up the stairs
and then wipe up there.
Do you remember that?
No.
I was like, our barbershop break.
We're like, we got you.
Classic.
Don't give friend toilet paper break.
That's too bad.
Yeah.
Before I forget, I want to say shout out.
Well, first, Facebook is just over the years.
It's becoming less and less of a fun place to be.
It's like I'm spending less and less time on it. It sucks. It's not, you know, every time I get on Facebook now, it's a different friend from high school posting a picture of a gas pump and saying, can you believe this?
Egregious. And I'm like, we're like, oh, okay.
Closeted.
Really?
Like, yeah.
Like kind of weird.
Only on the close friends.
Yeah.
Like habits.
Okay.
Wouldn't have known that about you.
You put up stickers on gas pumps.
That should.
Oh, they're showing that they're doing it?
They will put stickers on it.
Oh, I don't know anybody that's actually been the sticker person.
Oh, yeah.
I've seen that.
I'm like, huh? That is. I don't know if that's moving the needle for the Republicans.
You know?
Yeah, right.
I don't think so.
Like an independent voter is like, oh, no.
Oh, I didn't even think about this being like a government thing.
He, okay.
So it's Biden saying, I did this.
It's a sticker he wanted to promote himself, but the Republicans are using it to say i i made the gas prices high yeah but our facebook group is amazing it's such a great
reason to go on facebook we almost have a thousand members it's every day people are
posting just amazing stuff it's a great week for rachel and i's relationship on the facebook group
um it's just so fun shout out to everyone who's like putting thought and effort and like editing
videos and like taking sound bites from different episodes and doing cool
stuff.
Do you have a favorite one from this past week?
Someone just memed.
It's just a nice little,
like just pick stitch me holding up the microphone while Rachel's talking
about skulls on the left,
Dwight holding the microphone for Angela singing a little drummer boy.
Yeah,
that one was good.
I,
I loved Janelle's where she was talking about we were like doing
the measurements um wait no not the measurements that was good too measurements of the one where
she like dubbed over the elf thing uh the elf scene where he's like listening to her singing
in the shower it's me doing stand up in the shower you're doing stand up in the shower and
there's isaac listening to you yeah that was such a great idea. Oh, it was so funny. So yeah, I had, I had several lean back laughs.
I mean,
I have LBL right now.
I just threw my head back after my one hour nap the other day.
I LBL so hard.
Did you see him?
JLVL to have me LBL.
That's pretty good.
Yeah.
Nips out one.
Got me.
Yeah.
I was like,
how to tell how deep the pool is.
That was good.
Anyway,
y'all are awesome. If you're not a part of the Facebook group yet, um, check. Yeah. It's like, how does it go? How deep the pool is. That was good. Anyway, y'all are awesome.
If you're not a part of the Facebook group yet,
um,
check it out.
And,
um,
if you don't know what Facebook is,
uh,
colleges used to have them,
right?
It's like a yearbook.
Yeah.
They don't have a Facebook.
Anyway,
there's like a digital version of that.
Yes.
It's really cool.
That's all it is.
It's just that it didn't,
it didn't get way too complicated and infiltrate our parents with Farmville.
So speaking of pools, we talk about gentlemen down the pool.
Second installment of Bo's swimming lessons happened this past week.
Cool.
And all of a sudden, all the dads came out for this last one.
Good.
So Bjorn brought his dad.
Bjorn's a guy.
I thought Bjorn was a girl. Oh, no. Bjorn's very much a guy. His name is really his dad. Bjorn's a guy? I thought Bjorn was a girl.
Oh no, Bjorn's very much a guy.
His name is really Bjorn.
Bjorn's very much a guy.
What's his dad's name?
Sven?
I don't know.
Oh, I was going to say,
well, I nailed that.
Holy cow.
No, it was good.
So Catherine didn't come with me this time.
So it was just me, Hattie, and Bo.
We got there early.
We were having fun,
just swimming for fun.
Yeah.
We were buoyant. It was great. Bo's stillie and Bo. We got there early. We were having fun, just swimming for fun. Yeah. We were buoyant.
It was great.
Bo's still doing a great job getting under the water.
Hattie did her lessons first.
You know, Bo and I are just hanging out in the water.
Then we do our lessons.
Everything's good.
But beforehand, Catherine's like, I think you need to bring a change of clothes for them.
And I was like, well, why don't we just, you know, dry them off and change when they get home?
She's like, no.
Then they'll get their car seats kind of wet. And I don't really want you to do that. So I was like, well, why don't we just, you know, dry them off and change when they get home? She's like, no, then they'll get their car seats kind of wet.
And I don't really want you to do that.
So I was like, okay, whatever.
So they have these family changing rooms in lifetime, that lifetime.
And so we go there.
So if you don't like your family, you bring them in, you switch them out with another
one, like a family changing.
I've seen that with like baby changing stations.
You go in and you're like now do
you have it's like you have like a player yeah like a do you have like a mix like a like a light
skin yeah like maybe their dad was a gi something like that or something i would love yeah the baby
changing stations are awesome yeah i mean you can give them like you should see the biceps on some
of the kids these days like just a three-year-old just with just packing some biceps um wait i don't get it just like you can you can just in in what's the word enhance all their body parts like make them
as strong as you want like a creative player got it i was thinking just switching out babies
or also the family changing station you can do like a 18 year old biceps on a three-year-old
these days okay so it's an option so uh anyway so we're we're there and basically long story
short it's just
absolute chaos in this changing room. So like I put, there's this little bench and I put them
both on this bench, like up against the wall. So like staying next to each other. And I try to
change Hattie first, I think. And long story short, I, I like I've, I've tried so hard in
the last like two and a half, three years,
basically since Bo was born, I was like, I'm not going to get mad at my kids anymore. Like,
I'm not going to get frustrated, like to the point where I like get really angry with them.
That's good. I failed. I failed at the, uh, changing, changing family, changing rooms.
Uh, and I like, Hattie was like kind of crying. Bo was kind of crying. Like they were both just
like getting under my skin and I like lean down and I kind of like get like great to Hattie was like kind of crying. Bo was kind of crying. Like they were both just like getting under my skin and I like lean down and I kind of
like get like great to Hattie.
I was like, just stop it.
Just stop it.
And right when I clenched teeth.
Oh dude.
Yeah.
The clenched teeth and just right on the, right on the arm.
Just stop.
Like calm down.
I don't even remember exactly why they were crying or whatever but i do that and
rise i do that and like bend over my crotch just like the the seam on my crotch of my
the soybeans do just pops open and so i just i mean it's like it's pretty bad like like look
they have a liner underneath but it was like are you kidding i'm already frustrated and then it's like boom it just popped open i was just
like okay that's god's way of reprimanding yeah yeah don't yell at your kids and in the moment
though i was just so selfish i was like this is why i should know this in the catholic i should
just change them at home like i was like they could have been fine the car seats wouldn't have
gotten that wet uh anyway but it was just it was just a very in
Enraging time for my life. So it'd be hard not to yell your own crotch to calm down after that
Just chill yeah, just chill for a Saturday. You just wait till this is over. Yeah, it was what caused it I mean, I'm a big guy Lester all yeah, I was gonna say I think I'm just
The shorts are a little tight.
And I bent down and gave it a little friction.
And they're not like.
Scott asking, what in the world could have caught?
Now, how?
No.
I don't know if you did like a specific movement to cause the rip.
No, I mean, they're not like super stretchy shorts by any means.
I mean, they're not like board shorts or anything, but they were like not super stretchy.
And yeah, they just, the seam.
I mean, it was, so I sent a picture to Catherine
of the hole and I was just like,
headed home.
So, anyway.
That's a fun pic.
Did you have to walk out of Lifetime
with a big hole in your thigh?
Luckily, like it was one of those things
where it was like, you know, if they're not tight, like it wasn't as noticeable.
Oh, I see. I see. I see.
And so I think I kind of just strategically like held, you know, like my towel, like, thanks guys.
Like, thanks. You know, held it right there a little bit in front of me.
That was my towel. Yeah. Hey, thanks guys.
So anyway, it's fun times. Yeah.
Yeah.
I, it was my dad's birthday recently.
I didn't get him a present.
You got him one that he still uses.
So I think that's fine.
But I wanted to get him something, you know,
probably in the golf realm.
I think that's a fun, you know,
it's easy to get someone like golf things.
And, but I would try to be a little,
I was like, I don't want to just get them like. Bomb techs, bomb techs, you know, I want to get them something like, I don't
know, inject my personality into 11. I mean, that's, that's just the type of gift giver I am
Brad. Um, so what I did is this, um, no, I was a little strategic. So I wanted to get my dad's
like some customized golf balls. So that could be fun. Oh, cool. And we could go across the spectrum.
I was like, get him something nice.
Get him something, you know.
Customized shape or customized design?
I went sphere for the shape.
But I was thinking about just like, you know, screen printing something on them.
Oh, cool.
Yeah.
What ended up coming up with was, so I wanted to get him.
Well, the picture that I chose was a shirtless picture of my uncle John.
Found a picture of his brother-in-law, Johnny.
It looked like he was in a sauna or something.
I don't know how this photo was.
Lifetime family changing room.
It could have been a family changing room.
His family dropped him off and said, we'd like a new dad.
So this weird shirtless picture of uncle Johnny, I get that put on 12 golf balls.
But what I do is I give the golf balls i give them are like the nicest you can get because i wanted to put my dad
in a position where they're too nice where like i can't not use them yeah these are great golf balls
but unfortunately there's a shirtless 60 year old man on them how like the design of these like uh
customized things like is it just in one side of the golf ball or like the whole does it take up the whole golf ball it's just like a side of the ball will have like
you know one by one yeah you know inch like circle of it like it's the real profile picture on the
side how often like i don't i've played one round of golf ever like how often does somebody else
like kind of find a ball for you or something like hey uh anybody know who this is like find
a ball yeah that's pretty common. Really? Yeah.
I thought you were going to ask how often do you see pictures on balls?
Not very often.
Yeah, usually you might be playing a ball with a logo on it, but it's not your logo.
It's like, found this Pro B1 in the woods.
It says JB Hunt on it.
Whatever, I'm going to use it.
Yeah.
So my dad calls me.
I think he calls me the day he gets something.
Like, hey, thank you for these.
And then four days later, I get another phone call and uh he's like well it happened he goes i hit i hit my driver and i slice it bad it's in the other fairway so i'm getting nervous there's nobody around so like
we're good take out a five iron i sliced that one too and now i'm on like another t-box and i'm driving
up there i'm getting nervous and there's guys on the t-box and uh my dad was like i was just
gonna drive past him you know i didn't want to talk to him and then they're like um uh you
looking for a ball and my dad's like yeah and i'm like what's it look like
what a hairy yeah it's like uh you know callaway chrome soft and like any like
distinguishing marks uh why don't we just why don't you just show me all the callaway chrome
softs you have and then i'll see if it looks like the one i used i think you'd know so anyway yeah
i was glad that it only took four days for me to be put in that position where him and like a group
of strangers are looking for like a ball with a shirtless man
on it.
So I look forward to more of those.
It was a kind of a fun thing.
I'm glad it worked.
I hope it's a new tradition between you guys of like just getting like the nicest.
So you can't like, yeah, it's like, oops, sorry.
It's like undeniable.
Like you have to use it.
Yeah.
But like just the most ridiculous thing, either, either sayings or just like, like just something
really inappropriate or something
like really like politically incorrect to the point where it's like what does that say it says
uh i yeah i put down dogs it's like whoa yeah i got a free giveaway for you know my 500th dog
it's like whoa okay all right all right buddy. Is there something on the ball that says, if you found this, daddy spanked a good one.
That's kind of weird.
We'll just daddy spanked a good one.
Yeah.
That's it.
Just straight up.
It'll keep your balls in the fairway.
It's like, I already wanted to hit a good shot.
Now, now I really want to hit a good shot.
As a golfer, like, do you, do you ever like get a little more zoned in?
If it's like, I can't lose this ball.
Like you're hitting it over the water, you know, whatever.
Yeah.
First tee shot, always crappy ball.
I never did a nice ball on the first tee shot.
Oh, really?
Like, who knows where this is going?
Oh, like first hole.
You mean?
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
Oh, interesting.
Yeah.
I have a full box of Titleist Pro V1s that are all inscribed with Merry Christmas.
We love you, Grandpa.
Yeah.
And I have no clue where I got that from.
A whole box of them.
Really?
Where did this come from?
Yeah.
That's a really fun idea for just a tradition.
Because you and your dad are going to be playing golf
for the rest of your life.
Yeah, just weird golf balls from here on out.
Yeah.
I like the idea, too, of your dad lining up his putt
with John right on top.
I use John's left nipple to kind of line it up.
That's aimed right at the hole.
Hey, I hit a good putt. It was rolling John over John. That of line it up. That's aimed right at the hole.
Hey,
I had a good putt.
It was rolling John over John.
That's how you know.
Yeah.
Yeah. There's just the options are endless.
Yeah.
Sayings.
Yeah.
WNBA logos.
Yes.
It's just my favorite team.
Yeah.
No.
Houston Comets.
Go fever.

I don't.
Did you?
Okay.
Yeah. That was a great, great thing. Let's look them up. Did I ever tell this around the podcast? I don't know. Did you? Okay. Yeah.

Let's see.
Indiana Fever play tomorrow at six.

So anyway,
Father's Day is coming up.
So be thinking,
get your dad some weird golf balls.
Okay.
That's fun.
I spent time with my dad last night.
We went to a documentary for Nolan Ryan.
Fun,
fun time.
What was his nickname?
The Express. Good job. What was his nickname?
The Express.
Good job. Also, Big Tech and a few others. Oh, Big Tech.
Big Tech, yeah. Yeah, he was a big
investor.
Yeah, so the background is, so it was me,
my dad, and my cousin Joel.
And my cousin Joel's friend was the director
of this documentary, this movie.
And it was like, he released it
South by Southwest.
You know what that is?
Have you heard of it?
Joel's got friends in high places.
He does.
He's got some cool,
he's also a K-West guy.
So like Ben Rector,
K-West,
this guy, K-West.
What's this guy's name?
Bradley Jackson,
I think.
Cool.
Jordan Jackson,
one of those two.
And,
but it was only one night
in theaters.
Joel's like,
hey, you guys want to go?
And I was like,
I guess,
you know,
why not? Like, it'll be fine. Like, it And I was like, I guess, you know, why not?
Like, it'll be fine.
Like, it's a sports documentary.
I love sports documentaries.
If I have nothing better to do.
But guys, do you guys know how amazing Nolan Ryan was?
Because I didn't.
I guess I don't have a great idea of how dominant he might have been.
But I know he's like Cy Young Award winner, Hall of Famer.
Never won a Cy Young.
That was also very interesting.
Never mind.
It was crazy, though.
Like, he has 51 records in the major leagues
how do you never win a Cy Young I feel like there weren't that many dominant pitchers what was he
70s into 80s maybe a little in the 90s he set the record for most strikeouts in the season
and didn't win the Cy Young that is kind of crazy yeah he has seven no hitters great that's insane
yeah the second best I think is Sandy Koufax with four. Wow. Just like unbelievable. This was the craziest stat I heard all night, though, was they clocked him.
Like his pitch back in the day was 101 miles an hour.
Great.
But the way that they used to measure pitches is wrong, like different than what they do now.
And so now that's the equivalent of 108 miles per hour.
No.
Yes.
What do you mean?
Math has changed since 1983?
No, you'll appreciate this.
So they used to measure the velocity when it was like two or three feet out of their hands.
And now they measure the velocity right when it releases from their hand.
Oh, okay.
And so it slows down, obviously, as the ball goes farther.
It used to be 108?
108 miles an hour.
108 miles.
That's insane.
I'm pretty sure I watched a sports science and they said it's impossible to throw it
like faster than like 106 or something.
That's why Nolan Ryan's just this, you know, folk folklore.
He's just amazing.
He's a real guy.
Yeah.
I mean, it was just, yeah, it was very cool.
He played until he was 45 years old.
He played 27 years.
Okay.
I was going to say, I feel like he, feel like he had a long career into the 90s.
And he threw a no-hitter
his last season.
Still got it.
I think like,
if the Indiana Fever
can get what Nolan Ryan had.
Dude, I mean, just amazing.
Like, I was like genuinely
like amazed by this guy
in so many different ways.
And two of his no-hitters,
like he almost didn't even
pitch that night
because he was so hurt.
And he was like,
like he couldn't even move his hand
to like brush his teeth
one morning. And then that day at the ballpark he's like yeah i got loose
and started feeling pretty good dude there's something about getting loose you know you get
loose here like i feel good now there's something first 20 throws of the day i'm really intrigued
like like they didn't really you know care about pitch counts back in the day they didn't think
about nutrition the same way they do now and it's like he played 27 years like there's just certain people i think they're just built different i was gonna say i feel like athletes
today are a little wimpy compared to athletes back in the day or something yeah yeah yeah i
don't know there's lots of correlation you know what it is all that time on that cell phone
i'll tell you what i fatigue they're they're using too much google that's it the google
yeah that's the problem yeah how much
google you think nolan ryan was using you know that nolan ryan never sent a text never think
about that during his career during his career he never sent a text not even an email yeah or
a phone call compare that to max scherzer yeah hundreds of thousands of texts he's not gonna
have nearly as long of a career sure sch sure sir i read uh has an unlimited text unlimited
text plan unlimited text plan unlimited data plan i'm pretty sure which is just it's just a sign of
the times so anyway i just i couldn't believe no i mean it was so cool like i i strongly if you're
any kind of sports fan look up the nolan ryan document i'm sure you can buy it or you know
rent it or whatever and watch it because it's it really is very interesting and very good
lots of hall of famers in there uh that they interviewed bo jackson how much you get paid
to talk about this documentary i just really liked it i really liked it i think it was very
interesting so hey bro you do a podcast right i mean yeah you want you keep the money to yourself
huh yeah bradley jackson you know his name name of my paypal account yeah that's right when he sends it after this
episode airs um i did some stuff this week great tell me about now what'd you do this week no
i went to funky town i'd been in uh a year or two and i had pretty high expectations when i go to
funky town and it exceeded them that was so fun everyone's got to come to kansas city go to funky
town it's just so good i normally like to keep this as a surprise like when i tell people to go
or when i tell people even on the podcast i can come to kansas city go but whatever around
midnight every time you go to funky town what has been deck decor all night like old like car wash
type like you know things that like slap your car oh no like like strips like little cut up strips
oh yeah that's your car yeah yeah it's like i don't think this is harming my car but sometimes
they slap them pretty good sometimes it's like could you calm it down a little yeah yeah like
a soft like a light a light you know massage yeah like they're going deep tissue on your car yeah
that's what i couldn't think of it yeah i gotta get light tissue slapping so those are like decorations everywhere but then at like 11 45 and what really helps sell this
is the dj i feel like i it was really appreciating him so he gets on there and starts hyping it up
like so well and there's music starts playing and it's just like this
not quite that but it's not the car wash song? Well, it kind of is, but it's like a remix.
Oh, okay.
And so what starts to happen is he's like,
we've got a special treat for you guys tonight.
You won't find this in Los Angeles.
New York City doesn't have it.
And he'll name like places across the world, you know,
like you won't find it in Mexico.
You know, he names a few places.
To Goose and Cow, but no way.
It like goes on a little too long.
Warsaw?
Yeah. You know, like really random random i've scoured istanbul nothing
no way but he's like he does such a good job of hyping it up but you know but but in kansas city
missouri we've got a car wash for you guys tonight and then all these things then the music really
comes alive
and they start spinning
and you got to get out of their way
because you could get slapped.
And then this one from the ceiling comes down.
Now you got one going like vertical.
Okay.
And then it's like so fun.
It's so hype.
Everyone just crams in the center of the dance floor.
You're dancing.
It's so hype dancing,
working at the car wash.
And then it becomes a foam party.
Okay.
So it becomes an actual car wash
like the foam is spitting out yeah dude it is just you're like i shouldn't be allowed to have
this much fun as an adult it is so cool dude it is just so fun so it was fun to get to experience
that with rachel because she didn't know what was happening you're just watching her reaction
oh yeah it was so awesome they do that every time every night there was one time i went and
they didn't do it and i was so disappointed but i think yeah you go on a friday or saturday night and they do it around midnight
oh dude it's so cool i'm intrigued by these uh brush slapper things so like what what's going
on like they're just going the whole time um just for that song will you get hurt okay so in an
actual car wash you have the slappers these are more like um more like brush it like um like the
end of a makeup brush okay like softer not like the slapsticks okay but you can get close to them
and oh yeah i mean they'll be humming right next to you like you don't want to be around yeah they
spin everything's spinning like these things come alive like you thought they were just
static decorations all night and then they spin pretty quickly oh wow so yeah you do have to kind
of look out but you're not like necessarily in danger. Sure, sure, sure. But dude, sure, sir.
It's so just cool.
And I was just like, I was just reminded, like, life is so fun.
Funky Town really gave it to me.
Oh, yeah. And I gave it back to them.
There was a time where Rachel's cousin was a town like they went off somewhere.
I went with Garrett Gibson, some SBU friends.
No land, no ho is there.
Yep.
And I look up and no one is around me anymore. I'm like,
oh, well. And then dude, I just continue to just crush it solo for about eight to 10 on the dance
floor. It was, it was really liberating. It was fun. People started filming me at certain points,
old ladies, random people. I would look up and people were just like Snapchat. I don't know
where it went, but I was just killing it in the red on red how like do you make any noises when you do you kind of like oh yeah oh oh oh no no you're quiet i'm doing my own thing i i'm big on like having
some sort of prop to dance with this night happened to be my women's uh blazer sure kind
of the lapels of the blazer i feel like i really use those to my advantage like you know going up
and down sliding to the left with them sliding to the right with them yeah i'm also had rachel's purse great accessory oh really i had it around
my neck i was swinging that thing around had that going i it was like kind of this droopy like 90s
looking purse and so i was holding it like a baby and i was like doing like dances with the baby
and then i had it bouncing on my chest at one point and like this old woman gary gibbs actually
sent me a text about i need to find it with like came up with his like grope in me um so he was there for that
um yeah she was a little too into it and i was like okay okay um what did he say um
dude that yeah that's fun i i need to go out there sometime keep having flashbacks of a married woman
grinding on her husband while attempting to
feel your chest and sift through your purse.
I don't think she realized it was a purse.
So one time she tried to lift it over my head and just dump stuff out.
Oh, look at this guy.
Yeah.
It's fun.
So just funny.
It sounds great.
It was just life giving.
It was so cool.
Do they always play like, is it always like, like a soul train kind of music or is it this time?
It was very consistently. I've been there sometimes were like by the end of the night. They might start playing some like, you know, Tygo Cruz
Mmm, like really recent hits, you know
Yeah
Well shock you wouldn't go dynamite i was gonna say i don't know first one i thought it didn't go dynamite but this time was like almost primarily deep tracks only 70s and 80s songs it was really good
a lot of whitney houston michael jackson i separate the art from the artist so it's fine
good for you thanks you're talking about whitney houston what does she do oh yeah um cocaine oh
yeah maybe yeah cool That's great.
You ever done coke?
Oh, okay.
Uh, here's something I think you will find interesting, Brad.
Um, one of, uh, say was one of Rachel's last days of schools.
They did like professional development thing.
Kids get out early.
Just the teachers still to hang out and do stuff for some reason.
You know, I'm sure all the teachers really want to get out of there, but they're like doing fun stuff.
They did a typing challenge.
Oh, love typing. I know. I was like, like oh that's so fun i wish i could have been
there i'm off my game these days i would struggle so after they get done instead of just like
whatever they like go around the room and say like what'd you get what'd you get what'd you
get and rachel's like last and the girl right before her uh says 64 words per minute and i
guess i was way higher than everyone else. They're like, whoa.
Like they stopped.
They're like, oh my gosh, Diane.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh my gosh.
Okay.
And then Rachel's like, oh gosh, now I don't even want to say mine.
And so Rachel's was like 92 or something and just brought the house down.
So I was obviously very proud of her.
I was like, that's amazing.
That's my girl.
And she's not like possessive, but-
Boom, right there.
Yeah, I was like, I hadn't even done it.
I didn't get done.
We're proud of you.
Thanks a lot.
Yeah.
And, but the more I thought about it,
I was like, wait, in the entire school system,
two teachers can type over 63 words a minute.
When you said 63, I was like, that is not very high.
I think when we did our typing challenges,
it was somewhere between like 80 and 100 is where we scored.
Yeah. If you would have said like, how many words per minute can you type?
I would have guessed 85 to 90.
I think that's where we were back in the day when we used to do that.
And so I'm a little worried about the Wyandotte County School District.
As you should be, I think, for more than that reason.
But yeah, that's interesting.
Like, it's just like they just struggle i mean the other
day i was gonna say the other day i walked by the the vp vice president of manufacturing for
oh was he hunting pecking just point no oh destroy yes i just was like i mean i mean he's like hunched
over too and i'm just like dude that's gonna i don't know what he's sending but that's gonna
take a long time dude there's some that's too bad there's some second guy dfa yeah i've seen that but i'm just
like the vp of manufacturing very bright guy and that's no home row fingers only gosh have you
heard well that bothers me first of all my dad is a is a hutton pecker with two and he is very
quick with it though it's kind of impressive like that's what people say when they don't want to
learn how to type i'm actually i'm actually pretty quick at it, though. It's kind of impressive. That's what people say when they don't want to learn how to type.
I'm actually pretty quick at it.
I'm actually pretty smart, but I'm not a good test taker.
I would bet 40 words a minute typing that way.
Maybe not.
Bring it, Dean.
I mean, that's like he's pretty quick with it.
Also, have you heard?
I don't remember who it was, but somebody at Kennecock, I think, would write out like
every single email he wanted to write on a letter and give it to his assistant and they would type it out for him.
Have you heard about that?
No.
Do you know what I'm talking about?
Is this guy a Native American?
Canna Cook has Native American roots.
Yeah.
Okay.
It's not as random as it sounded.
But yeah, he literally was like, I just don't, I don't know how to do emails.
I don't want to learn.
It's like, dude, A, it's not that hard.
B, I bet you regret like taking that stance in 1992
yeah you know it's like i'm not this is a hoax this is a hoax it's not gonna stick around he
wanted to have a he wanted to have a nolan ryan type career he's like i you know the email's just
it's a slippery slope that's right yeah yeah unlimited emails oh boy you know my friend stew
he called me last week speaking of just like yeah weird technology he's the friend who we only leave voicemails back and forth with each other yeah he called me twice
in a row so i was like uh-oh something must be wrong so the second time i answered and he was
like no i actually didn't need anything what i was gonna do he's like the last time so i left i
just left you voicemail at the end of it i don't know if you've ever left a voicemail that goes to
the full time they're like you've reached the limit press one to send with normal delivery
and he's like i've always just pressed one or whatever he's like but this time i decided
to listen to the options and there was like a few like weird ones and like press six to fax
and he's like to fax really and so he was like so i was calling you a second time so i could leave
your voicemail and then press six to fax but i answered so i screwed it up okay so did he call
you again no because we
were kind of talking like because you have to leave a full voicemail to get to the messages
so it's like that's kind of a bummer you would like waste an entire voicemail because this fax
isn't going anywhere right so i don't know what to do but just know that you can fax
words i don't know what something's out there yeah like this little piece of paper just starts coming out of your shark. Dude! Just one letter at a time. Yeah.
I fatigue.
I got a lot to read all of a sudden.
Letter by letter.
Yeah.
Is there any technology out there
that you've like just refused to like, like.
Like adapt.
Adapt to, or like, like for me, it's not,
I mean, this is social media, but like,
Snapchat I always thought was the stupidest thing.
Like that was like the day I knew I was getting old
is when I was like, what is this app?
I think I'm out.
I don't know about this thing.
Like you just, they, they see your picture for five seconds and then it's gone.
You know, I just didn't get that.
Get a load of this.
Yeah, exactly.
So yeah, I deleted Snapchat a few months ago, so I guess I'm kind of really out on it now.
I know people who are like weirdly anti-cruise control. Do you know you know people like that no i don't know if it's a technology thing or just
being an idiot thing i think some people are like amazing yeah yeah it's awesome yeah it's not that
crazy of a technology it's so convenient yeah but oh yeah i've known people you know like we're on
a road trip they're driving and it's like i've been noticing for 30 minutes on highway i haven't
said anything like i gotta say something yeah like you want to start a cruise give your give our you know foot a break
like nah i kind of just like doing it my i'm like oh why don't you let me drive that's bothering me
i always i always feel bad whenever i don't have it on cruise control and i pass somebody
and then i get a little distracted with something i slow down and they have to go and pass me back
i'm like sorry gosh like that that just makes me like an amateur driver you know what i mean
so that's interesting just like no i don't i don't trust it i don't trust the cruise i i don't know if it's a trust
or like a weird like self-control pride thing maybe like i'm in charge i do the driving
yeah we'll see about that mr cruise yeah go to caribbean cruise
but yeah i'm sure there's other ones but can you think of
me i was i was that way with apple watches and airpods really dude same i was a good call i was
totally that way too apple watch was ods i was like that is stupid i thought airpods looked stupid
i was like the original pods nearly as cool as like the ones that have the string on them with
the stems like the big old stems at the beginning yeah those did not like good yeah and apple apple headphones don't stay in my ears anyways so when they release the
pros it's like now i can buy dude same yes dude yeah i tried oh yeah the thing that sold me on
them is i and i know there's other noise canceling headphones out there but when i tried them on an
airplane you dude keep going The ultras are circling. Yeah, I popped them in there and I was like, wow, it gets rid of all the plane noise.
Yeah.
This is incredible.
And I literally, I think I bought some the week after.
That's awesome.
I was like, you ever been in a place where it's not that, let me just tell you my scenario.
I'll just describe this really unique.
So you're on a tour bus and like you're trying to fall asleep and you're idling.
Okay, because it really was a scenario we were idling on the tour bus and it's got got this weird like the way i visualize it my head like it's almost like a noise is cyclical yeah you
know if you can imagine like it's not a consistent noise it's like it's got like a pattern that
kills me yeah and so because i think the way those airpod pros work like it's like software
is what's noise canceling it like it's actually playing in your ear the reverse sound of what's coming in dude it was driving
me nuts i thought i was gonna need like a some sort of halfway house or something after this
i was like i i can't i i don't know what to do even with the airpods and it would make
like the noise it was really having trouble with this sickle oh man man. Finesse of it. V six circle call.
Anyway.
So stay woke guys.
Be careful for the,
the noise in circles.
I was so pumped about my air pod pros.
And I remember like the first weekend I had him,
I showed him to my dad because I had him on me.
I was like,
check this out,
like put them in your ear and I'll put on the noise canceling.
And it's like so different.
And my,
no,
I'd be like, can you hear me? He's he's like yeah i can hear you just fine like like you know one of those
people that's just like like not into the technology like you're like so excited about it
yeah no like i i hear you and i'm like you can't really hear me that well okay
he's like i can hear everything you're saying eventually he was like yeah dude have you ever
done that with palmer i think like i'll just get so
silly sometimes with hattie and i'll be like hey like fyi until you eat that broccoli like
uh i can't hear what you're saying and she's like no that's not true i'll be like
you know and she'll be like dad you hear me and then she'll eat it and i'll be like there
and like then she's like it doesn't work for you and i'm like yeah it does watch and i'll be like like dad you're just saying anything you know and then i
think about it and i'm like see i told you like what i'll do with palmer when she's in a whiny
mood i'm trying to crack her out of it is i'll start mouthing what she's saying i'll do that
too makes her laugh yes like daddy give me some milk I'll just be mouthing it to her.
And she always smiles.
Right.
She never says, dang it.
Oh, man.
Do you ever use the transparency mode to try and hear something?
At a coffee shop the other day?
Today.
I was like, what did she say?
Yes, dude.
Exactly.
Dude, exactly.
Long hold.
On the right.
On the right butt.
Excuse me?
Dude, exactly. It's like, whoa. Literally today. long hold on the right excuse me literally today i was at messenger and you're kind of always subconsciously observing your surroundings a little bit like not really taking any notes until you start to like other pieces
get put together yeah so it's like this girl had been sitting in front of me by herself for 10
minutes then a guy comes they move tables to sit down across from each other. I'm like, here we go. I'm hoping to watch a good first date happen. We have no rings on
either hand. Their posture is good. Okay, great. So I just assumed they're on a first date the
whole time. And then my, what did he say moment was something along the lines of like, uh, so
yeah, you can just let me know if you want to be a part of our program.
And is it okay if I follow up with you on Friday?
And then I was like, transparency mode.
This is about to get real awkward. Yeah, we got a guy on girl pyramid scheme going.
You don't see this often.
Game on, our boss.
Yeah.
Yeah, I was like, oh, I mean, you know, if it's guy on guy, we'd probably go Northwestern
Mute.
Sure.
Girl on girl.
We got a lot of options.
Oh, plenty.
Guy on girl.
Young guy on young girl.
What do you got there?
A couple of chickens watching.
You know what?
I don't know what this could be.
And yeah, it was fun.
What was that one that I almost got pitched?
That one like food one?
Bitcoin mining?
No, the one from the guy for a lifetime.
Nathan Hayashi?
Don't say his last name. Yeah yeah that's what made it believable
no the one what was it called the guy the guy that was like i would love to connect you with
my mentor you remember i don't i don't know the company oh yeah you do okay it's the same
we talked about it yeah Amway Amway
okay
yeah yeah
that could be
guy on girl I think
it could be guy on girl
yeah
I think
I got recruited
to Northwestern Mutual
I attended a luncheon
with them
yeah
luncheon yeah
really uncomfortable
you can own your own business
you know
yeah
yeah
how'd you like to wake up later
be done with work earlier
stay in your pajamas
they love
arrival
hour nap in the
middle of the day wouldn't that be nice yeah they just like we're calling up everybody's in suits
calling them up here's your gold award winner yeah this guy drives a bmw yeah it's like i mean
he's doing okay is that should i be wanting that i guess but they love throwing the pajamas i feel
like like that's part of the pitch.
Oh, really?
Stay in your pajamas all day.
It's like, I mean, I'm 30.
I don't like that, actually.
I feel bad when I do that.
Also, when Catherine on the phone, I was like, I think I want to sleep in tomorrow, but I
also feel terrible when I sleep in.
So I might get done, you know, I might get home at 2 a.m. tonight and I'm like, I think
I might still set my alarm for five, you know, just because.
Wow. Then snooze it a few times. Okay, okay.
We can both do it. We can wake up at the same time. I'll think about it.
I'll think about it.
Anyway. Your pickleball in the morning.
I'm sure everyone is waiting like,
whoa, you've been talking the whole time. Oh my gosh.
They haven't even mentioned the pickleball
tournament. The Elite Cup.
Was it called the Elite Cup?
The Elite Cup. I love that you remember that.
I mean, we're to start on the elite cup, I guess.
Let's start.
So the term is Saturday.
So we'll start Friday night.
What tournament?
Oh, the elite cup tournament.
I don't do fitness.
We'll start Friday night.
Okay.
Late Friday night.
Okay.
This is kind of where the story begins.
Scott and I get a text.
The story about what?
The elite cup.
Oh, okay.
Scott and I get a text. The story about what? The Elite Cup. Oh, okay. Scott and I get a text that says,
hey, only two teams registered,
so no tournament tomorrow.
And that is where the story ends.
So elite.
I sent back my Ace Ventura gift.
All righty.
He was like, all right, it's Friday night.
I mean, good thing I didn't, you know, schedule plans around this.
Like, I canceled my trip to Cabo.
Yeah.
Yeah. Pre-elite. They don't let just anyone sign up. In fact, they don't let most people sign up. So it's that, it's that elite.
Yeah. So that was selective.
Kind of a bummer.
They didn't really advertise it to anybody, you know.
It was just like.
Eight more teams didn't sign up by midnight.
They were just expecting like, we should get a late push. It's Friday night. The team should be signing up any second
Okay, it's 10 text the guys
Alrighty then did you laugh out loud when you sent it?
Got earlier is
Texted him and like 13 other people his family and he's like I'm just gonna send back this gift and it's like the shack
like kind of shimmy if it he's like, I'm just going to send back this gif and it's like the Shaq like kind of shimmy
gif and Scott like selected
it and was just like
pressing
just laughing at his own
gif out loud.
I was like, what a guy.
Yeah, no tournament. Scott and I still play pickleball
Friday night though in kind of a pseudo tournament.
No, it's not nearly
as prestigious as the League Cup.
I mean, they let anybody sign up.
Right.
And there were a ton of people there.
Yeah.
But we had a ton of fun, Brad.
And that's what matters.
That is what matters.
We had a ton of fun because we were doing well, too.
But, you know, it was a good time.
Yeah.
We were flying around the field.
Flying around the field.
Flying around.
You know, head on a swivel.
Head on was on a swivel.
Uh-huh.
Yeah.
It was really fun.
Swarming the ball. I'll be the first to admit there was a lot of scott laughs yeah there
was there were a few there was a lot i kept narrating every time i was like jake there is
were you playing you guys were playing together yeah yeah it was really fun yeah it was king of
the court but you got to stick with your partner so every time you move up court if you lose you
move down we never move down a court too often yeah got there late so we started on the very um like lowest court i don't know what
that would be the the jester yeah the court jester and um of course scott works for dairy farmers of
america just hit me left and right with um cream based terminology you know he would he'd be like
you know i think what's happening the
cream is rising because like all the bad teams were going lower and we were like rising to the
top so he would remind me several times what was happening to the cream you got any more cream
terminology i guess it was maybe just that he kept reminding me the cream was rising
a lot of guys were your legs chaffed afterwards why Jeff what's
tough Jeff something look up Grange look up a chat
Jeff is a corn term sorry Rachel couldn't be here tonight she would have
loved it dang god bless her soul Rachel would have loved this i mean she's in a better place though which is she's studying at her apartment yeah that is better than here yeah um i don't know if anything that
great happened i mean it was just there's not really a way to talk about it without just talking
about like how good scott and i did so that's why i'm like it was just really fun but we just kind
of it is kind of when you win it was kind of wiped the floor with people. And I wasn't expecting to do that.
Well,
cause I don't really play pickleball that much,
but it was just fun.
So you're a natural one team.
We lost to them three times.
Yeah.
Every other team.
I mean,
it was just Jake and I were kind of,
we were laughing.
Oh,
we were laughing at dude.
This is,
this is the time.
That's like the peak pickleball season right now.
It's great.
It's so fun.
Like getting sweaty late at night. Like just nice humid air. I love, I love me some pickleball in the now. It's great. It's so fun. Like getting sweaty late at night.
Like just nice humid air.
I love,
I love me some pickleball
in the summer.
Hey,
if anyone
is in the Columbia,
Missouri area
or wants to drive,
Rachel and I are looking,
looking at maybe going
to the old show me games.
I really want to see
Rachel compete in singles.
I think it'd be so fun.
I'd love supporting her,
especially when it's athletic
or typing the best.
If you can do both, it's speed walking slash typing she did something tonight which i mean let me just preface by saying i'm not going to describe it well and it's not going to
seem as cool as it was okay but i think it's easy sometimes for me to forget how skilled rachel is
when it comes to setting a volleyball because she's playing which is scrubs all the time we're in this like intermediate kind of recreational league and the score is like um 21 to 20 we're
up you you played at 21 so it's one by two so it's like it's game point for us and it's a really fun
rally i mean it's going bump set spike 13 bump set spike our team i was trying to do your strategy
brad set it right away absolutely it was really hard dang and i was like and i was like i should
listen to brad i was like oh no I was like, I should listen to Brad.
I was like,
oh no,
wait,
he's ever played pro volleyball.
He still has his amateur status.
So I,
yeah,
I kept thinking of that.
One more week of his amateur.
But it really,
it's like the longest ride of the night.
This is really intense,
really fun.
And then Rachel,
which is the softest of hands,
looked like a,
came,
came off of a pillow or something.
Supple.
Hey, Brad.
Yes?
Can you come to the front of the class, please?
Hey, when we're talking about Rachel, you're not going to say supple, okay?
Do you want to, we're going to try that again.
All right?
Rachel set the ball beautifully like a pillow coming off of her coming come coming off of her hands
Supple Brad you can't
Sorry, that was the word I was gonna say. Yeah, okay. Don't say supple nothing inappropriate about my girlfriend please
i bump it to rachel everyone's expecting another set it comes off of her hands just
beautifully so soft and perfect the ball goes up and instead of going to isaac which is what it
had been it had been bumps that spike 10 15 20 times no one is expecting it had been. It had been bump, set, spike, 10, 15, 20 times. No one is expecting it.
What was it? I said, mm-hmm. Okay.
Actively listening.
She just lofts it over the net
to like no man's land. No one is there.
We win the game.
It was gorgeous.
That's awesome.
That's all I have to say.
Gorgeous.
Gorgeous for the game.
Rachel just texted me.
I hope potting.
Oh,
she said,
isn't going well.
Okay.
It's been a typo.
Hold on.
Let's wait.
Hold on.
Let's wait.
She's typing.
She's typing.
Asterisk.
I hope,
hope potting isn't going well.
I'm going to say,
Hey,
I'm talking about you right now.
What was my words per minute?
Uh, I'm judging the way they did for Nolan Ryan. I'm not now. Oh 88 and a half bad
So, yeah, like I said that probably doesn't this story price to translate but it really was awesome
It's like oh, yeah, and then afterwards just so strategic like yeah smart move. I asked her
Yeah, I was like, could you do that every time?
She's like, oh, yeah, you know like if you wanted to she could even. I asked her. Yeah. I was like, could you do that every time? She's like, oh, yeah. You know, like if she wanted to, she could.
She's placed it perfectly.
She could set it as like a what's called a kill, you know, like a winner.
As the center, she could score a point every time.
Yeah.
And she doesn't.
She sets it to people who've never played volleyball in their life.
It was just awesome.
Just like, oh, yeah.
For everybody else.
Oh, yeah.
You're really good at this.
Right.
Good for him.
I don't know.
I was going to say the S word.
I looked it up. I don't know why you think it's inappropriate uh it means not stiff or hard so so brad do you think principal
o'shaughnessy would think that that um is not inappropriate if you went and told him what you
told me i looked up the definition and the example for it was her supple fingers i'm not even joking right here bending and moving easily
and gracefully not stiff or hard her supple fingers my mind is becoming more supple so
why don't you supple up on that supple cheeseburger
on that
touche ipso facto Supple cheeseburger. Supple up on that.
Touche.
Ipso facto.
I'm your supple.
So good job.
Should we do some blanks of the week to kind of end this episode?
Yeah, let's do it, baby.
Okay.
Scott, would you like to join?
I'd love to.
Okay.
Brad, what's the first one?
I was going to ask you if you knew knew let me let me pull up let me remember uh phrase of the week is one that i have do you guys
have phrases of the week yeah okay the first one is phrase of the week oh okay uh my phrase comes
from mover jamie that we talked about last week new jersey and todd new jersey with toad and the
squirter um he called me the other day.
He's called me multiple times on the phone.
He's supposedly delivering tomorrow.
I'm pretty nervous that it's going to like something.
This is the guy who couldn't get it out of the truck in Colorado, right?
They're having trouble.
So what I learned is that they're just like worried.
Apparently like the house that they're delivering to in Connecticut has,
it's going down into a basement and they're worried it's going to like,
like it's going to be too heavy for people to go downstairs.
Like once gravity, yeah.
It is heavy, but it's not, I feel like, but I feel like we could easily move this thing.
I'm going to ask you, why did they go to Kansas City, then Colorado, then Connecticut?
Yeah, I think he was delivering something from New Jersey area, I think.
I think they picked up something either along the way or something that was going to Colorado.
That's a road trip, man. Oh, yeah's their their life it's their life that's no
vacation uh that's a trip yeah right man it's a trip for me you said that earlier do you remember
that yeah dude okay um so do was that was that true that was awesome uh So anyway, he, every time I've talked to him on the phone,
I mean, he's this Northeastern awesome dude.
Every single time he ends the conversation with, okay, be well.
And I just thought like, it's like something I could not pull off,
but I want to.
There are things that I'd like to pull off.
Yeah.
I'm going to try it.

That guy's a beast. Oh, what dude scott and jake they were playing and there's beast mode oh savage

huge like word to put in your youtube title in 2017 i was a bummer. I couldn't stand that. Yeah. Dude, that was so epic. Epic win.
Yeah.
So.
Okay.
So that was my phrase of the week.
Scott.
Be well.
What is your phrase of the week?
So mine, not quite a comedic phrase, more of a motivational phrase of the week.
Kind of like be well.
Is that okay?
Mm-hmm.
So today we had a fun little lunch activity at work.
Oh, I can't wait to hear about this.
So my boss, actually it's my boss's boss.
Pretty cool story, actually.
Sad story, but cool story.
He was in a motorcycle accident back in the 90s
and he's a quadriplegic now.
So he's in a wheelchair.
Wow.
Well, that is a cool story.
Well, it's cool.
I mean, like he went to Harvard Business School after that.
I was joking.
I was just pretending like that was the end of the story.
Huh, that is pretty cool. Cool story, Hansel.
We went to
Harvard Business School. He's worked for a lot of big
companies. Really sharp guy.
And he has this friend he went to Harvard with who's
now a huge motivational speaker,
author, you know, big guy.
I don't remember his name.
I mean, you're like huge.
Anyways, he sent Darren, that's my boss's boss name.
He sent him this video of his like a recent speech he gave on how to be happy.
And so at the end of his speech, he said this phrase.
This is my phrase of the week that I got today.
He said, it's easier to act yourself into a new way of thinking rather than think yourself into a new way of acting.
Say it again. Say it of acting say it again say it again say it again easier to act yourself yeah into a new way of thinking rather than think
yourself into a new way of acting so this is for the dreamers out there people that want to do big
things yeah just start taking steps in the right direction and then you'll you'll figure it out
along the way what would you consider a step in the right direction like maybe like a bigger
way to golf channel exactly calling up your friend luke hoagland.com and being like dude let's record some golf
and we'll figure it still haven't edited the video two weeks later we gotta figure that part out
i was thinking about you today brad i was like i think it would be so fun i want to record your
first like oh i guess you've played golf before haven't you one time really is it just
one time i was hoping it would be your very first time and i didn't have a driver or a putter yeah
i mean there's just i mean one you know i mean you would already be a funny guy to put in videos i
know you've thought about doing videos but i think you'd be good at it but on top of that just you
learning us educating you on all just the tiny little like borderline annoying things the etiquette
with golf you know little things would just,
I think we, and we could like fake some of it too.
Like you just yelling at people's backs.
We go, what?
Dude, what?
I, I, I really.
Hey Garrett, you got this.
Hey, come on Garrett.
Come on.
I almost did that this week in basketball to Rustin
when he was shooting his free throws, but I was like,
you guys wouldn't think it was funny?
I already did one.
Dude, I, I can't get over the backswing thing.
Like I think that is ridiculous.
That's hard for you to believe?
Well, like it's hard for me.
What do you mean?
Believe that people would want like quiet swings.
I mean, it's hard for me to believe that if you, if you aren't used to it, that it would
make a big difference.
Like, like if, if people were just consistently talking during your backswing.
Oh yeah.
Sure.
I don't think, yeah, it's, it's just like basketball.
Like, it's not like, dude, I need exact focus during my free throws.
Like half the games that people play, they're playing away and they shoot free throws just
as well as if they shoot them at all.
As long as they don't like start an aggressive sentence in the middle of it, then I think
it's like, okay, that was like a blow horn.
Like if somebody's shooting a free throw and you just put a blow horn in their ear.
Yeah.
That would, you know, whatever.
Or, you know, more extreme things.
If there's talking, it just seems ridiculous to me. Yeah. If it's quiet and
then you say something, I understand that. Yeah. No, I'm with you now. But, but like,
it is funny that there's like entire sections of stadiums dedicated to messing with players
when they shoot. I mean, like students sections, they'll sit there and then as soon as they're
about to shoot, everybody goes. Yeah. The curtain. Yeah. That's one of my ideas for
your golf channel is like one hole, every single 18's just yeah you get to do whatever you want like
legally like you know whatever you want to like mess with them you know make jokes do like the
whole like hamilton porter like if my dog were as ugly as you have you seen like the back off
challenges i've seen those some of those are pretty funny he's getting ready to tee off and
there's like three or four guys just saying ridiculous things trying to get the
guy to laugh and that's awesome yeah so but yeah i would love to love to document it some way you
know it would actually be really yeah it would be fun just be like brad what do you think you do in
this situation yeah yeah like what club do you use or even like i'd push even just like push six
probably i'd push six or P
How close do you think the car can get to the green? Yeah, like where do you think you drive the car?
That was one thing I learned. What's the 90-degree?
Like not knowing that and like the very first hole we're just like
Way over. Yeah, I didn't know about the 90-degree rule. What was some other things that I learned the first time?
Well, the first time I played I just played in the comfort colors t-shirt and people were like you're supposed to like
catherine i think knew like you're supposed to wear a collared shirt i was like they didn't say
anything to me it's got kind of i mean they're stitching i mean there's technically a collar up
here yeah there's so many levels to like golf etiquette like i've been to courses where you
can't even wear hats in the clubhouse. Oh yeah.
Like I went to one course.
Really?
Arnold Palmer's hometown course,
where of course he grew up on.
And I was with a vendor at the time
and we were walking through a clubhouse.
He goes, oh, take off your hat please.
I was like, oh, geez.
What is it?
Is there a dead president being buried right now?
Interesting.
So yeah, there's more levels to even
conventional golf etiquette.
Very pompous. Pompous pompous pompous circumstances uh jake what is your phrase of the week my phrase of the week um is i'm gonna have you guys try and guess why this was said the phrase is goodman jake
goodman jake goodman j Jake said kind of like that
Goodman Jake they are
this is at the
mediocre cup you also played another
pickleball tournament
with Jace Goodman
good memory
cool guy Jace is that it? hot guy Jace
your words on mine
supple guy Jace
supple guy Jace uh goodman j like they're like uh goodman
jake anybody the the combo for the mediocre cup goodman jake okay good guess yep starbucks order
way closer um messenger so here's what here's the full story i had a just a wild time this
afternoon not only you know the guy on girl mlm but um i walk
in and this barista is like already looking at me uh male oh yeah and he goes well well well
it's always says i'm looking at him got a pretty good memory with these things like all right i
for sure don't know him could be like a subscriber follower but i i would never assume that i would i'm gonna let him say
that if so right you don't ever want to like be that i got a subscriber nice to meet you right
you know whatever um and so he's not saying anything else he's just kind of now looking at
me weird and so i was like hey good to see you just kind of just playing it neutral and uh he's like dude my bad i thought you were somebody else so i was like all right that's great um all right hey no worries okay and uh but we're
you know we're talking and um he's like uh can i get you a pastry and i was like you know what
sure i'll take uh take a little chocolate croissant and can I get it warmed up, please?
And he's like, ooh, we can't warm anything up.
And I was like, oh, what happened?
He's like, we don't have anything
that can warm anything up here.
Hasn't this happened to you before?
Yeah, I think so.
I don't know if it was at Messenger or not.
And I was like, really, no microwave?
And he's like, ah, that's the thing,
we just don't have room.
I was like, it's three stories. Messenger messengers huge that's what i said to him biggest coffee shop i think i've ever been to in my life he said we don't have room and i was like this is a three
story coffee shop he's like yeah like you could put it in the corner and i'll go warm it up myself
you know yeah so he says that so it's just the last time the excuse was like uh we it's always fresh so we
don't want to warm it up or something that's what they said last time to you i remember
really yeah huh so it's just the the excuses are revolving like 5 30 p.m but anyway um and so yeah
so we've now had two different things where it's like that could have gone better you know like
we're kind of on different pages and then i give my whole order i order a coffee and you know four minutes
later i'm hearing from the counter goodman jake goodman jake and i'm kind of waiting like i mean
i'm not goodman but jake and then then i hear caramel latte it's like okay that was me that's
your thing what happened was which this is just classic me. Of course, this guy goes, and when now this is back in time.
All right, that'll be, you know, 764. And what's a good name for that? Of course, I go, good name,
Jake, because I can't stand that they do that. Little by little, I'm trying to start an
uprising. Stop asking good name. I've talked about in the podcast before. That's a ridiculous
question to ask someone. And so I, of course, repeat it. And what's a good name? good name. I've talked about it on the podcast before. That's a ridiculous question to ask someone.
And so I, of course, repeat it.
Ian, what's a good name?
Good name.
Jake.
And so he thought that I said, what's your name?
Goodman Jake.
And he's just now yelling it out at Messenger Coffee.
Hey, Carmelate Goodman, come up here and get it.
That's amazing. That happened a few hours ago that's amazing that he even if you like if someone said what's a good name for the order and i said brad ellis i would
expect him to put brad on it like like goodman's so clearly a last name okay yeah you want me you
put your full name in like okay so next time if they ask you say jacob garland triplet like you
say jacob garlandett, son of Steve.
Like, just like go ridiculous with like, see how far you can get.
How many words are they willing to pronounce?
Because like, do they, I don't remember Messenger.
Do they print it or do they write the name?
They don't write.
They just, at least.
Or maybe it's on the computer or something.
Yeah, I think so.
They might've just typed it.
Because I would have loved it if they have to write every single name on there.
Jacob Garland.
G-A-R.
Okay.
Right.
Yeah.
Goodman Jake.
So my phrase of the week is Goodman Jake.
Yeah, you're right.
I would have not.
Goodman Jake.
You're more happy.
You're more Goodman Jake.
Employee of JT Operations.
You guys got some poultries?
Sure.
Okay.
I'll go first. My poultry of the week is today I had to go to the vehicle inspection, Kansas Highway Patrol.
I'm a free man now.
I finally have an updated license.
Yeah.
Feels good.
Win of the week for you.
Win of the week.
License plate or license?
License plate and sticker.
It feels so good to drive.
Have you put it on?
Yes.
It feels so good to drive near cops now.
Yeah. For eight months I've been scared. You're like, hi. Hello, officer. Officer Cropgate. and sticker it feels so good to put it on i yes it feels so good to drive near cops now yeah for
eight months i've been scared you're like hi hello officer officer crap game i'm i'm waving a golden
or a german shepherd's just hoping they're a police officer you know just try to sniff it
yeah sniff it and check the tags this place sorry keep going what kind of animal you got
um so what was this oh the uh what poultry of the week. So, yeah, I was at this vehicle inspection and it opened at 730.
And so I was like, I'm going to get there at 730.
I'm going to get it right in, right out.
Like, this will be great.
So first of all, realistic expectations to have when it comes to government buildings.
Exactly.
Dude, but the DMV, you can you can get in line like electronically.
It's wonderful.
I had a pretty pleasant experience doing that last week.
Yeah.
And every time I've gone to like the vehicle inspection it's like like the actual
process is pretty easy nobody's there i feel like when i've gone yeah and like the like i'm
registering my van that's a 2018 like it's like it's like very what kind of man is it
honda aussie elite cup um but it's like it's like they're not even gonna look at this thing twice like they when i had my 93 f-150 they're like yeah it's like, they're not even gonna look at this thing twice. Like they,
when I had my 93 F one 50, they're like, yeah, that's fine. So they're not going to care about
this. Uh, but first of all, I got, I got double trained today. I was waiting at the train tracks
because the inspections right there, one train ends coming the other way, double trip. So it was
like, I didn't get there to like seven 32. But also because these trains were going at the same time,
I didn't see until the train tracks, you know, they went up.
There were 50 people in line.
So many people, like, I think it was just like, you know,
they're trying to get there early before work or something.
I think out loud, I just just go oh no and so then i park and i i i get out and i'm like okay i think
it says on there you need your title you need your id i go down and my wallet is in my truck
with my id in it and i go and i once again i i don't know i don't know exactly what i said but
we'll just say oh no hi caramba uh yeah cowabunga and so stop stop leaving your wallet in your truck
you know i was so proud of myself for like getting up like i had been up since like 5 45 you know i
had done stuff i had already eaten breakfast and i mean i accomplished a lot you should have seen the bagel i had two eggs
all right but i had to drive home come back and there is nothing sadder than standing in a
government line dude like poultry of the week is government like like no one wants to be there
no one really wants to talk to each other everyone just looking at their phones it was kind of rainy
and gloomy today and i was just standing there There was one guy like that got finally got to the front of the line.
Didn't have all his documents.
He got really mad at the people.
It was just like poultry of the week just goes out to just that's that
process.
So that's things.
How long did you end up being in there?
I think I got out of there like nine.
Gosh,
that's a waste of time.
It was frustrating. I was like, I was like seven because I had to go there and then I had to go to of there at like nine. Gosh, that's a waste of time. It was frustrating.
I was like,
I was like seven.
Cause I had to go there and then I had to go to the DMV as well.
So it was like the inspection place first,
then the DMV.
And you know,
I did like the get in line thing thinking I could tie it.
Right.
Yeah.
Didn't work.
You can't keep texting him for more.
Yeah.
But I also had to be on dad duty a little bit,
go to get the kids,
take them to this babysitter.
So anyway,
it didn't,
it didn't work out. So I, I finally got done with everything at like 1145 and I was thinking
I was going to be done by eight with it all. So dang, pull through the week goes out to
that process. Sorry, man. Thanks guys. Scott, what is your poultry of the week?
Uh, I would say my poultry of the week is people that think they're the best drivers and own the highway what i mean by this
i was driving on the highway and um i see this toyota tacoma oh sure it's always the tacomas
he comes flying up the middle lane and then gets in the left lane behind who i presume to be an
elderly person you know okay because of the car yeah, the driver and pace. Sure.
Okay.
And it's just tailgating this person. Like big time.
What state is this in?
It's in Missouri.
Okay.
I'm just curious.
So he's,
he's riding her tail and finally he gets a break to go over in the middle
lane.
Why are you sure it's a girl that's driving this or would you just assume
that I was assuming that it was an elderly person.
And you keep saying she.
Whatever.
This is me being non-partisan.
So he gets in the middle lane.
And then, I mean, misses the car by a couple feet.
Whose car?
Cut the car.
The car.
Cuts her off.
And cuts them off. Cuts the cuts the car off taps on his brakes you know
and so i at this moment just filled with rage you get up you go after i go after yeah you do
yeah i freaking popped on the light on top of my kia and i was dude, you're toast. Yeah. I just, I floor this thing, dude.
And I tail him for probably three miles going like 85.
Just to be right on him.
Just to be right on his tail.
Oh yeah.
And then he gets off one exit on the highway and I, he turns to get off the exit and I
swerve right in front of him.
And I don't know why this was filled with so much rage, but I'm like, dude, don't do
that to people.
Yeah.
Especially an elderly woman, probably.
Yeah.
We're not going to speculate.
Especially the gender that's not as good as driving.
Right, Scott?
No.
Did you give him the thumbs down afterwards?
No.
That's what I was going to say.
I almost gave a thumbs down today.
Something like that can happen to me.
I was the one who got cut off in like crazy traffic.
It was like rush hour.
Like no one's moving at all.
And they went from like far right to far left. And I was like one who got cut off in like crazy traffic. It was like rush hour. Like no one's moving at all. And they went from like
far right to far left.
And it was like,
that was so just like
unnecessarily dangerous.
It's like if I get even with them,
I might throw them a thumbs down.
I didn't.
It was fine.
It just sent me down a spiral
of questioning humanity.
Scott, I don't know
who you should be behind the wheel.
Why are people so angry all the time?
Like, why does this guy feel the need
to like, hey, this lady's driving slow
in the passing lane. I'm going to the need to like hey this lady's driving slow in the passing lane i'm gonna cut her sorry this person's driving can't help himself this person
is driving you passed her eventually and you saw that it was a woman right yes okay we'll say that
cuts this person off taps on the brakes like just it's so unnecessary taps on the brake is a loser
move yes that's too bad loser move yeah almost move. Yeah. Almost hits the person, taps the brakes.
And then, yeah.
So I just floored it and tailed him.
Man.
It was a lot of fun.
You showed him.
I showed him, man.
He won't do that again.
Do you see that Kia chasing me?
I still do the thumbs down, but a new thing that I'll do.
And tell me if this even like translates to somebody that's behind me.
They'll be frustrated that I'm not going fast enough or i didn't go on a green light fast enough and i'll
just go like this okay let's go can you see that you turn around and tell i look you quiet you
quiet the home crowd yeah i go chill that's what i'm doing i look in the rear view mirror i just go
that's kind of like a ronaldo dude that's what he that's what did us
exactly that's i he does. Exactly.
That's what I was trying to do.
Could you see,
like,
do you think you could like,
as the person behind me,
like,
would you understand that?
Yeah.
Or do you think like,
why is that guy practicing his dribbling?
Why is he petting that invisible dog?
Yeah.
Right.
His daughter must not eat broccoli.
He can't see her.
He must be petting her.
Exactly.
So I think that would fire someone up like Scott,
if Scott was behind you and he saw you quieting him down yeah if you give me the downward path yeah it probably looks like the too small celebration although it's like yeah no i love it i love it because it's like it's like hey
just take take a step back come on easy it's gonna be fine that we're gonna get stopped another red
light up here soon anyway so like it'll be fine uh what's your poultry? My poultry of the week is that Brad Ellis went all season without taking a charge in basketball.
Dang it.
Oh, boom.
I called you out in the middle of the game.
What am I supposed to do?
Take a charge.
Who else took a charge this season?
Okay.
How easy was it to take that charge?
I think I run charge at like six seasons of playing.
Jake got run over like last game and you didn't
even get a charge for that yeah he was a very fullback figure and he was number 44
which have like lends himself to be a guy who charges the hl or hhb hf high frequency yeah
that was a fun game this guy's shooting free throws and he's got something like unidentifiable
like it just says hf onto this. And this guy's got the ball,
his hands probably goes quick.
And we're trying to guess what HF means.
So we're all like spitballing high frequency while this guy,
high fidelity,
you know,
while he's got shooting free throws,
that was fun.
Yeah.
Uh,
he didn't think so,
but that's my poultry.
Um,
but much like Rachel and I,
we have a transactional relationship.
So this is just a tally and I'll let you know when I,
I want it back.
Would you say that I should add poultry when you didn't wear shorts every
single day,
like you were supposed to,
or that kind of thought you might bring that up.
And yeah,
I haven't gotten my espresso yet.
I haven't got my donuts yet.
Yeah.
Actually,
I got you coffee one time.
I paid you back.
Was that,
was that part of the,
I don't know.
Yeah.
We're not very good at sticking to it.
Your mouth's writing checks, right?
But, oh well.
It's harder than it looks, guys.
Yeah, no.
It is.
My first two charges ever came this season.
Well, here's the deal.
Here's the first thing you have to do in order to take a charge is you have to be able to play defense in front of somebody.
And most of the time, I just say, I'm going to guard the three.
And if he goes past me, I'll go, I got some help back there.
So that's, that's first and foremost.
Yeah. Force them in.
Yeah. We're done.
This is, that was our last game though.
That was it.
We did not make it into the tournament this season.
Which is one of the first.
That's first time.
No, I thought it was.
Really?
I texted Garrett.
Garrett said we,
so the top four teams
make it to the tournament.
We finished fifth
and we didn't play every team.
We played three.
We lost to three
of the top four teams.
So strength of schedule.
Yeah.
Pretty high.
SOS was good.
SOS was high.
Yeah.
So the committee will factor that in
for next session schedule probably.
I mean,
even if we would have made the playoffs,
those other teams were good.
They were better than us.
Yeah.
It wasn't going to go well. We were taking a special effort. Extra shout out would have made the playoffs, those other teams were good. They were better than us. Yeah. It wasn't going to go well.
We're taking a special effort.
Extra shout out, Blank of the Week.
Clutch Player of the Week goes to Jake Triplett
for hitting those last two free throws.
Hey, thanks for remembering.
Good time.
Thank you, guys.
That was my pressure situation.
Thank you.
I didn't even say a thing to you.
I just let you shoot them.
I didn't even think about them.
It was pretty casual at the free throw line.
We were chatting and goofing.
Thanks. You're welcome goofing. Um,
thanks.
You're welcome.
Thanks.
Uh,
let's see.
Next blank of the week.
Struggle of the week.
How many of these are we doing?
How many you want to do?
You want to be done?
I don't struggle.
Good for you.
I don't struggle.
I don't act.
I think before I think, and then I act and that makes me not struggle.
All right,
let's just go.
Let's go.
And then I struggle.
Let's go baby of the week.

and every single time it's like i don't have it in me i yeah i did this for five minutes i'm done
like a kid that's fun babe um my baby of the week is a girl uh actually technically
today as we're recording this um it is her last day of school okay uh very proud of her finishing
uh her first year of teaching teaching special ed middle schoolers in a really rough part of
kansas city with the entire year i did not hear her complain one time about her students not one
time about her school district or
anything really really impressive and it's sometimes i'm like it's hard to notice what's
not there it's like hard to notice sometimes the lack of you're used to it yeah just used to nothing
but positivity the only time she's ever saying negative is like when it's like i overheard one
of the teachers yelling at xavion today like that broke my heart the way she's treating you know
it's always about like sometimes other faculty members, which is sad. Um, but only doing that with a great attitude,
not complaining, um, still a full-time grad student, um, letting me come with her and her
family to Iowa this weekend for my morning day. Um, turns out I met this girl at Topgolf
last September. Seriously? It's Rachel Coop. Yeah, baby. Yeah. Um, it was I met this girl at Topgolf last September.
Seriously?

Oh, I'm so excited.
She's on here since podcast that comes out.
Well, it's already out by the time you guys are listening to this and it's perfect in time for my drive to Iowa.

In the sheltered kid video I went over that.
Yes.
Oh.
Brad don't repeat it.
Well I'm married I can say stuff like that
golly to rachel's grandma listening right now i didn't say anything bad yes you did you said
it's a it's a bit grandma it's a bit bit life's a bit B-I-T life's a bit
okay
this has been fun
do you want to
do reviews of the week
Brad
yeah let's do it
okay
mine says
good for the soul
I work as a licensed
professional counselor
and my husband
has been deployed
for the majority
of this past year
I prioritize
self-care practices
to help take care
of myself
as well as serve my clients well and Ghost Hunters podcast is a huge source
of lighthearted fun and encouragement in my life. I think of Jake and Brad as my friends,
and I'm grateful to be able to cheer them on personally and professionally. Fun fact,
I listened to Ghost Hunters while I ran the Fort Worth Zoo 5K recently, and it helped me get
through with a smile on my face. I would be down for a virtual or in-person ghosty 5k that is very cool um yeah that is just super cool it's one thing to think that we're
impacting the people who listen it's one thing to think about someone who uh is you know licensed
counselor is getting is you know benefits from our podcast and is then able to like overflow those benefits onto like
people who are seeking you know help help yeah it's crazy that is really crazy ke cold grove
um i had an idea actually today do you remember when we did the great pumpkin chase no um do you
remember doing the great pumpkin chase in high school It's like a big scavenger hunt.
I think it'd be really fun to do it.
It basically, it's like a, yeah, it's a scavenger hunt, like a progressive, like you go all around Kansas city and at every single different spot, there's a new clue for the next spot.
The amazing race.
Yeah.
You, when I, when I was doing youth ministry at Leeward Prez, you like, well, maybe you
didn't, I remember there's a picture of us together.
We went to Andy's at the end of it.
It doesn't matter. Um, oh yeah yeah was i supposed to wear orange maybe no uh yeah because you're supposed
to find the great pumpkin at the end maybe you're the great pumpkin anyway i think it'd be really
fun to do like an event uh like a great pumpkin chase with the ghosties okay great just an idea
yeah we have lots of good ideas that sometimes it's hard to come to fruition but that's a great review thank you um who said that one this is from gampa 07 you
you guys make mondays better than pretzel day this pot is truly amazing a few months ago my
family fostered four kids that needed an emergency place to stay cool this news came as a surprise to
me and my siblings when we found out our mom was bringing four of her students at the elementary
school she principalizes home with her.
Wow.
The first night she was filled.
I'm sorry.
The first night was filled with lots of tears because the panic attacks that were making return, which felt pretty scary for a 14 year old kid.
Eventually, I got some counseling with the school district social worker.
And one of the things he suggested do when one of the when one of those moments would arise was to sit down for 20 to 30 minutes and do something calming that I love, which to me was listening to podcasts.
So there I was stressed out of my mind, but laughing and being happy all because I was
listening to two guys on the other side of the state, talk about their basketball game
and pickleball tournaments.
Looking at the new episodes when they come out as a highlight of my Mondays, finding
jokes I could potentially add into my own comedy set songs.
I could sing at my own church and hearing about new ways to make life interesting can really change an entire day.
I love all of your work.
Thank you for bringing a ton of us through hard times.
In case you were wondering, the children are back in their homes, and the way I feel about my fortunate life has definitely changed.
Thank you, Brad and Jake.
Grandpa, that's incredible.
That's incredible. That's amazing. When you hear something like that, especially those back-to-back reviews, there was part of me that like, I was like, gosh, I wish our podcast was bigger,
which is maybe like comes across there. Maybe it's like not even for the popularity or for
success or money, but it's like, I want more people to have these feelings, these sensations,
these like, you know, little joys of life from our podcasts. Like that's so cool.
What a cool thing we get to do. It is bigger and bigger you know it's not like blowing up by any means but people are yeah continually finding it and
it is cool but yeah can i share something please oh let's go review the week i have a text message
of the week that's fun this is from a former co-worker of mine friend her name is joan hafiz
