This past weekend, the coups came down, the triplets came up.
This was the mergers and acquisitions.
Yeah.
The weekend.
And one of the things we did, we went to the game show room.
We got to play, you know, Family Feud, Price is Right.
One of the things we got to do is Wheel of Fortune.
The way they play it there is a little different.
And you're kind of both guessing letters at the same time.
And at any point, you can guess the puzzle if you just think you know it.
So it's fair game to any oh it's
like almost a speed game it's like a free-for-all yeah speed speed wheel of fortune okay so there's
like nine of us playing and uh the category is phrase and there's not many letters up on the
board and rachel raises her hands and it's like oh wow okay she knows it screen goes black we can't
see it anymore she goes like oh yes r She goes, the early bird got the worm.
And I mean, she doesn't let an hour go by where she doesn't say, why did I say that?
Did I?
The early bird got the worm.
Why did I say that?
She's mortified.
It is her worst moment of her life.
She wrote me a letter a month into dating
and she used the wrong form of there.
She also brings that up all the time.
She can't stand that she wrote that.
Not even like a missed text.
Autocorrect kind of thing.
Earlybird got the word.
Okay, I'd like to solve the puzzle, please.
Over the weather.
I thought you were saying over the weather i thought you were saying like over the rainbow like somewhere under the rainbow uh-oh oh i do i think this tight beat means that it's going down with
some random thoughts and white me too midwest best friends eating fast food on repeat so come
along let's have some fun and go ahead, get on your feet because it's the Ghost Brothers Podcast.
This is a podcast episode. Thank you for listening to our talk show. We're recording in a workshop.
Wow.
In Shawnee, Kansas.
This is a nice table.
I can see a baby monitor.
I can see a trampoline.
I can see Scott Peck.
And that's it.
Yep.
See flies.
Yeah, we're down here and it's humid.
It is 8 p.m. at night.
My watch says it is still 90 degrees.
Really?
That is temperature.
That is not heat index.
That's not even like feels like.
Catherine loves the feels like, dude.
Oh, yeah, me too.
Do you?
That's better than it's more accurate.
Okay, but if it's 90 degrees out and it feels like 95,
what does 90 feel like?
85 plus humidity.
But you know what I mean?
Like if it says if it's 15 degrees out, but it says feels like negative 2, how do you know what i mean like like if it says if it's 15 degrees out but the
but it says feels like negative two how do you know what negative two feels like because you
walk outside and it's 15 degrees you know what i mean well it's because temperature isn't the
only factor they have to factor in like the the moisture in the air and the wind but like how do
you ever know what that that feels like you go to palm springs california where it's like perfect
yeah and then you get a sense of it you's like perfect. Yeah. And then you get a
sense of it. You're like, oh, this is nice. And then you come back and you're like, that's what
negative two in Palm Springs feels like. That's really cold. It's like, like true weather right
there. I just, I always get like, give Kevin a hard time. Like she's like, feels like negative
eight. And it's like, okay, but you don't know what that feels like because you walk outside.
I don't know. It's hard for me to explain my thought process on this, but like.
I kind of get it.
It's like, it's like, how do we ever really truly know what something feels like if we
walk outside and it's not that exact temperature?
I got two things to say on this.
One, there should be a secondary feels like a more subjective version of it.
This feels like last Wednesday when you wore a winter coat and it still wasn't warm enough.
Okay. Like it reminds you like, Oh dad, I remember that. Or like cold driving summer.
It feels like a great night for baseball. Like, you know, that, you know, that feeling of like,
like it's just, it's, it's warm. I'm comfortable, but it is not too hot.
Feels like a 10 minute outdoor walk would get you a little sweaty. Okay. Well, that's warm.
That's what this is right now. It feels like a 10-minute walk
is like showing up on your shirt.
Feels like not a good night
to wear a skin-tight Elvis costume and a wig.
In a shop with no circulation whatsoever.
Oh my goodness.
Okay, let's talk about it.
For an hour and a half.
So if you are not on youtube.com,

Jake is, yeah, a uh identity crisis i don't know what this is um i am having an identity opposite
of crisis yeah what is that word it's like when you find celebration fossil what would you call
that discovery i'm having identity discovery okay i'm elvis presley yeah um no i'm just not a
big elvis kick right now uh during the mergers and acquisition uh we were kind of wanting a more like
relaxing day i threw out the idea hey let's go see a new elvis movie i hadn't really heard much
about it i just knew it was out and trey and i had kind of made fun of the actor because his
voice is stuck like elvis now and he's like trying to play it off he's like no no i've just gotten
older and i talk this way now it's like interviews you mean yeah so i mean even
just like three years ago there's an interview of him like yeah i'm really excited to be out here
you know like this is hollywood this is crazy and like i just thought he's like well uh
hey ma'am can i call you mama you might have to call you i get that i'm dyslexiclexic. So M a M kind of looks like M a M a.
So I call everybody mama.
All right.
This is really my first big gig.
You know what I mean?
You know,
thank you.
Thank you a lot.
Thank you a lot.
Um,
so that's all I really known.
Yeah.
I,
I didn't even know Tom Hanks was in it.
That was a fun surprise.
Okay.
Oh,
Thomas Hanks.
Tell me if you've off the top of my head,
don't look it up or anything.
Can you think of any other movie that Tom Hanks
is not the main leading male role in?
I saw him, and I was the same way.
I saw previews for the longest time of Elvis
and didn't even realize that Tom Hanks was in it.
Because he's the secondary guy.
Because, yeah, he's not the main guy.
He's not Elvis, obviously.
I mean, yeah.
Let's think.
I don't know. He's pretty often the main guy.'s not elvis obviously i i mean yes think i don't know like like he's pretty often
the main guy woody captain okay woody woody might be like i'm saying i'm like sharing the spotlight
with yeah i'm ruling these ones out with uh sid you mean with sid sid's a mink with with the claw
yeah i don't know just something to think about for the commenters we don't have to
sit in silence i'm kind of curious though i'm gonna okay yeah look it up for us scott that's that's what we
need scott here for is stuff like that so i guess uh some trivia for us so look it up we can keep
talking about elvis and everything you just loved it so i went in i think what helped and i've been
preaching this for a long time uh expectations are so important of course i think that's what
led to my top gun review the expectations were so high. Of course. And I think that's what led to my Top Gun review.
The expectations were so high
going into it.
Elvis.
Whose fault is that?
Just society, culture,
Americana.
Like there was not one person
that's like way more obsessed
with Top Gun
than anybody else I know.
Whose fault is that?
Yeah, nobody made you go
to a 1030 show.
Yeah.
And why?
But Elvis,
I had no expectations.
I will say,
maybe I'm a little biased.
My dad was a big Elvis fan. So I grew up listening to some Elvis sure but it's not like I mean I was watching the movie like
oh no way like I was learning stuff it wasn't like I was like yeah yeah yeah Rachel you're
gonna love this next part yeah um yeah so just went in with no expectations like yeah there'd
be something to do whatever and dude yeah absolutely loved it I just I'm in a weird
kick right now just a little Elvis kick I can't stop stop googling elvis thing really in the car i'm
only listening to elvis for four days now i've only listened to elvis well i'm not i am not for
a second exaggerating i love it i've only listened to elvis for four days i love and scott is even
10 times more in love with this kind of thing i love getting on kicks yes like i love like
like i remember like what was the eighth grade when school of rock came out i was a huge like
led zeppelin leonard skinner, all that kind of kicks.
And then it was like, I don't know, so many different fun kicks.
When the Johnny Cash movie came out.
Walk the Line.
Oh, yeah.
Loved getting on the Johnny Cash kick.
Johnny Cash kick.
Ray Charles kick.
Never saw Ray.
Okay.
Those are kind of the same movie, which is what I liked about Elvis.
Ray Charles was like, he's really good at music, but he does drugs. And then Walk Ray Charles is like, he's really good at music, but he does drugs.
And the walk the line is like, this guy is good at music, but he does drugs.
And he's sad.
And then Elvis was just a little more different.
It was told from the perspective of like his manager.
Okay.
Didn't focus as much on like the drugs and the sleeping around, which they probably could
have focused on.
No, no, no.
But I like that they didn't.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It was edited in a cool way.
It was a little too long
it could have been shorter i'll say it yeah but um yeah really liked it um uh okay so as an elvis
listener uh these past however many days like can you tell me i mean you probably i don't know how
much you've really truly dissected elvis but like i feel like he sounds so different talk about
somebody like the actor changed his voice like el Elvis changed his voice so much from when he first started to like
near the end of his career I noticed that rock and roll I feel like he maybe started out with
country and then he went like a little rock and roll and then he was like gospel at the end
yeah that's what's so interesting about him he did switch genres a bit I think some of it's also
like recording quality you know it's like you listen to his first singles and it sounds so like
it sounds like he was screaming in some of those
things like you just said she was
high class. You know, that's
fun. I get excited just hearing you do
that.
Yeah. Well, I know when Elvis first started
making music, there were only three genres.
You could if you wanted to be on the radio, you had to
say you were country. Let me see
country, Western gospel. Nope gospel nope dang country western uh lime western rock and roll lime uh no not rock and
roll country western rock and roll did not exist yet rap uh hip hop uh edm gosh why can't i think
blues okay blues sure rhythm jazz r&b Jazz. Which is kind of rock and roll.
Jazz has been around for a long time.
No jazz.
No jazz.
Country Western.
R&B.
Uh, and.
It's not what you're expecting probably.
It's not what I was expecting.
Yeah.
Do the one you're not expecting.
Oh, okay.
K-pop.
K-pop.
Pretty much pop.
Really?
Yeah.
Interesting.
And I guess Elvis was one of the first people.
So I think he started off as a country artist,
but then he started using the drums
and that was like unheard of,
like using a drum set with country music.
Really?
Like this is a lot at once.
Let's slow down here, pal.
Yeah.
And so I think that's what kind of,
he just kind of created his own genre
and his genre I think did kind of switch,
but it was always kind of unique a little bit.
Yeah. But then, yeah, he went through like a gospel phase and yeah it's just interesting
it's i mean he just lived a cool life i can't take you that like i'm like i'm like really
interested in what you're saying but at the same time you look amazing and awesome and ridiculous
thank you and so it's like like you're like you're moving around like it's just fun yeah um i don't feel kind of bad though i feel like i
should have after i watched maverick i should have come to the podcast in a fighter pilot suit
with a full helmet and mask on there's something it's too late yeah yeah i feel like my love is
not matching jake's yeah really session with elvis i'm just fully in it's just cool it's cool dude
cool story okay icon at the peak of his career he got deployed
this is crazy to think about wow ted williams style that's what he did no way yeah and he
still is like one of the best yeah whatever it's crazy uh well i'm i i'm excited to see it
i haven't heard any negative reviews about it yet similar to top gun which yeah i don't even
really know i don't know if it's like being critically acclaimed i don't know if people
are liking it that much but i know that me and the Coop
family really liked it. I've seen I mean
I don't know I don't really care about the critically
acclaimed what like
yes or no as much as I care about like
Neither do I. I'm in an Elvis costume
because I liked it. I just care about
like what people on like my friends on social
media say. I have seen some people on
there be like it was really good so. Cool
Go see Elvis and let's talk Let's talk about it baby. Yeah Oh man okay I love it sure yeah no i have seen some people on there be like it was really good so cool um go see elvis
and let's talk let's talk elvis let's talk about it baby yeah oh man okay i love it um so yeah it
was fun it was a good time um shout out to you guys for being here we're yeah like jake said
earlier we're recording in the uh ellis custom creations shop studio yeah it's so hot yeah yeah
guys this is nothing compared to what normally is though well i mean it's so hot. Yeah. Guys, this is nothing compared to what it normally is, though.
Well, I mean, it's still hot, but
normally we record in the air conditioning,
so it is quite a bit different than that. Compared to
the daytime in here.
Yeah, but it is... You might hear some flies buzzing
in the microphone occasionally.
But yeah,
we... Hattie went to
Great Wolf Lodge today, tonight,
and kind of logistically, we decided
for her not to spend the night.
My parents were hosting all the grandkids, but we're like, she's had a long week.
So we're going to bring her back home.
And we were trying to figure out how to do that.
And I was like, why don't we just record here?
So here we are.
Here we are.
And Jake, Jake texted me a few days before I requested this and said, Hey, what if I
wear Elvis costume the whole time?
I said, sure.
And then day of the recording, it was like, hey,
why don't we go in the humidity for a couple hours?
I said, we don't have to.
Uproot the studio.
And Jake's like, yeah, let's do it.
I think at one point you used the word behoove.
I couldn't turn down a behooving.
Yeah, he behooved.
I do like behooving.
You said it would behoove you if I came.
It would behoove.
Thanks for behooving me.
Yep.
Behooving with a plum. You betcha. i told you this earlier but katherine katherine was like i said
something like yeah jake's gonna wear elvis costume tonight for the podcast and she said
why and i was like i never even questioned it didn't think twice about it i was like
i don't know i just that's just jake i just and then she thought maybe you had lost a bet that made you the opposite nope i'm a lot of
a lot of free will and it didn't cross my mind that you didn't ask why i was wearing the elvis
costume it wasn't like why isn't brad asking it's like i wish brad would have like considered this
more like what's going on here no i didn't think about it i was just like i don't care um there's so much condensation on that coaster yeah um
anyway so i i was i was all for it man thank you thank you for thank you how was your week
my week's been good man um i went to camp like i i think i said that oh yeah sunday monday you're
gonna go to camp yes it was so much fun. Um, I, yeah,
I got to show Hattie camp because she's technically eligible to go to Keanu
Cook next year if she wants to. And I was like so confident, like, Oh,
she's definitely, we're definitely sending her next year. And after this,
those that, you know, day and a half that we were there, I think maybe,
maybe we'll wait another year. We'll see. Yeah. Yeah. I mean,
so before we even went, Catherine, you know,
was just like classic camp mom,
like so nervous, like thinking about it.
Like I just,
she's not gonna,
she's not old enough to go to camp yet.
She doesn't know how to even shower yet.
She doesn't know how to tie her own shoes.
And it's like,
they'll figure it out.
I mean,
and I was like,
she got a whole year before she's even able to go.
Um,
we got a year to teach her how to shower.
Yeah,
no problem. I did it in six months. months yeah it took me like nine months time sometimes i forget to take
off my glasses but besides that yeah yeah still working on getting the legs wet yeah but like
i don't know you don't have kids yet obviously but like do you think like are you really excited
to send your kids to camp someday or like do you think that way like like that's like something like ever since I've had kids, I'm like, I can't wait.
You know, anytime my friends from camp would have kids around my, like my kid's age, I'd
be like, oh, they're going to be in the same cabin to get like joking about it and everything.
So like in my head, I think I'd put a lot of pressure on going to camp and like Hattie
loving it.
I was like, gosh, please.
I tried to like show her videos beforehand and like really hype her up. she was excited about it um what a good thing though to pressure your kids
into if that's the biggest thing that you're like kind of like overbearing about sending you to an
amazing christian love it yeah exactly um so the first night we get there though um there was a k
life so k life at camp is just basically this big event, uh, skit time, skit dance sermon.
So the very beginning of K life, at least at K country, I'm sure everywhere is just a big dance
party for like 10 minutes. And the director at K country. So K country, the one I worked at is the
youngest kids. So it's six to 11 year olds. And so like it should, the sound systems would probably
be the least important for that camp. But our director is like,
so into it.
He like,
he was like,
yeah,
we had 15 inch subwoofers,
but I said 15 inches is enough.
18 inches.
I want them to be blown away by the gospel.
And he's like telling me this as we're walking in,
like the music's already blaring.
He goes,
I want to be blown away by the gospel.
And he literally opens up the doors.
It's just like,
and we walk in i mean all these lights
it's super dark and hattie within 10 seconds just yells like and i i can't hear it and i look i put
down put my ear down to her and i go what she goes i want to go home and i was like oh no uh and i
was like no we can't go home we just got here come on it's fun let's dance she's like i want to get
i want to go outside i don't want to be here.
And I was like, this is my nightmare. Like this is it. And so anyway,
we went outside and it was actually a really cool blessing to go outside.
So we went outside and I kind of talked to her and just like, Hey,
it's going to be okay. You know,
give her a couple of dance moves to go in there with a little more confidence.
No, it was just all about the noise, man. She was just,
she couldn't take all that noise
and it is kind of it's intimidating place for sure um but as we're sitting out there a few of
the counselors are trickling in with their campers you know because it's just now starting and this
guy sees me and he you could tell like he was like not not starstruck but like very surprised
comet struck he goes oh you're brad ellis and i was like yeah man and i was like
you know i heard you the weekend before like yeah it's great place to go yeah you recognize
dude coolest story maybe in podcast history i don't know there's a lot of cool stories no no
um but he he was like he was like dude i love your podcast i listen to your podcast and it's
so good he's like is this hattie's and i was was like, yeah, this is Hattie. Anyway, he goes in, his name is Tremaine. He's from Baylor. Uh, later on,
I'm talking to the assistant director. Uh, who's one of my friends, Jake Sizelove, shout out.
And, uh, I was like, yeah, cause he mentioned like, yeah, uh, some people send me stuff from
your, your podcast before. It's so funny, whatever. Um, and I was like, yeah, this guy,
Tremaine actually just said he listens to my podcast. He's like, dude, not only does he listen to your podcast, your podcast is the reason he applied to camp.
No way.
They're like, he had never heard of Canna Cook.
And in his interview, they're like, so how'd you, why are you interviewing for this?
He's like, I listen to this podcast that I really like.
And I've always wanted to meet someone with the last name Sizelove.
And I did it.
No, but just like the idea of like
just some kind of eternal significance to our podcast is just crazy now we've done it because
obviously that kid is preaching the gospel to some kid who you know will hopefully came in
tether shoes yeah can't tie their shoes but they can get saved for the gospel man and maybe someday
that kid will do you know do the same and anyway it's just it was a really cool thought to be like holy cow yeah like because of because of our podcast this guy heard about
camp and obviously that's not the only way to spread the gospel but Tremaine anyway so yeah
saw Tremaine saw a few other people that night that were like what like kind of confused like
are you Brad Ellis and I'm like yeah and it was all Ghostrunner it was never like oh it wasn't
like I'm not sure there were a few people that were like do you do YouTube stuff and I'm like yeah and it was all ghost runners it was never like oh it wasn't like that's not true there were a few people that were like do you do YouTube stuff and I was like yes
but they didn't know like my name or they didn't know you from Canicook though no one called you
B-Rad or anything oh there were some there were some people like that too see that's right Canicook
it was like you see one of every kind yeah it was really cool there were a few of my campers that
were now on leadership which is crazy fun yeah it was just like like one of the guys is getting
married in six months I'm like you are eight years old to me like how are you about to get married but um but yeah i figured out the
shower thing yeah he figured it out so anyway it was just it was so much fun and the next day
fourth july we went back to camp and i didn't know how long we were going to be there probably like
i thought maybe two or three hours and we ended up being there for like eight hours straight
oh like just running the camp basically like hot dogs,
hot dogs,
watermelon.
Yep.
Root beer.
Uh,
no root beer.
Oh,
um,
we did housing,
not on the subwoofers,
not on the subwoofers.
I don't think we've ever had root beer though.
Um,
for,
for fourth July.
You've had it before.
I have.
Yeah.
Cool.
Western party.
Dude,
have I ever told you,
I was,
I was,
uh,
reminiscing on this with some people. Have I ever told you about how I shot that guy in the face at. Western party. Dude, have I ever told you? I was I was reminiscing on this with some people.
Have I ever told you about how I shot that guy in the face at the Western party?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I told that on podcast.
I don't know.
Shot a guy in the face.
Story over.
So.
So, yeah, back in the day.
So I was on programs.
Jake was on programs.
We planned all the parties.
There was a party that was a Western party.
And Jake's camp is called K West, which is like the Western themed camp is Elvis's first shot.
So they do a Western party every year.
Yeah.
Uh,
they do Elvis or Western party every year.
It's like a huge deal.
That would be fun.
Maybe just the gospel years,
I guess.
But, um,
no.
Um,
so they had all these Western,
Western stuff.
And so we borrowed their,
like these powder guns.
You remember those things that were just like, like they're like crack crack cap guns on steroids.
Similar to a cap gun and a starter pistol.
Yeah.
Like it's like a pretty like it sounds loud.
And so at the end of this Western party that we did, you know, I was the I was the good protagonist.
My name was Sundance Sundance Ellis or whatever.
Anyway, Sundance. And what character were you playing i was just the good the good cowboy just the good cowboy you
know just the protagonist like i'm a pearl cassidy and the sundance kid of course yeah of course yeah
okay um so anyway at the end of the night like the bad guy comes and it's like what are we gonna do
sundance what's the bad guy's name i don't remember now dang i wish i did devil yeah just we didn't want to just beelzebub satan um and so
and so like this is the first term the first first time doing this party and you know how the first
party always goes i would always tell campers don't even come on the first term like the first
term is just surviving right let us figure it out like we don't know how the party's gonna go everyone's confused but let's just go for it uh so like we do
this kind of fight scene with like four or five bad guys and then the last bad guy i think i kind
of threw him on the ground but i had forgotten to like kill him or whatever and so i don't know i
don't know why like the james gandolfini i in me, like the Sopranos. I thought it was a good idea.
So I literally, this is like six to 11-year-olds, just a bunch of little kids.
This guy's laying on the ground at this party, basically looks dead.
I knew he was supposed to be dead.
I walk up to him with this gun that looks like a real Western loud gun.
And I pop him like five times, point blank in the head.
You kind of say, boom, boom, boom, boom.
Make my day. And my friend like it was
his name is brian like brian was like you deafened me dude i thought like i was i could not hear for
like two hours after that that's got to be such a great camp story for the rest of that summer
like remember the time yes like people people like what were you thinking and i was like i don't know
i yeah i mean and i just popped up like keep the change.
You filthy animal.
I mean, that's dark no matter how old you are, but when you're six years old and you
see some guy like the guy that's supposed to be the good guy, just have no, have no,
you know, recollection for anything.
You're sick.
I laid on the ground.
Basically dead.
Get him Sundance.
Six year old.
Yes Sundance, get him.
Five shots in the forehead. Anyway. So anyway so oh man camp overall was so much fun
though i mean i mean hattie the her favorite thing was the skit closet we probably tried on 15
different things oh no way i mean yeah you know k country is all about programs and all that skits
and so they i mean they have a huge skit closet bigger than my bedroom you know and has so many
different things and she loved that.
She couldn't believe how many things were there.
What size your bedroom?
Standard 15 by 20.
Good.
What about the rectangle?
Yeah, just slightly.
Yeah.
Cool.
So anyway, love that.
But then we were staying like the plan was like, we're going to stay for fireworks, eat
a bomb pop.
She thought that was so cool.
Yeah.
Bomb pops, eat a bomb pop and then go home really
late did she get a bomb pop for free or she paid three dollars for it she did not end up getting
a bomb pop because right before the uh fireworks were about to go off she was she's always she was
like weirdly nervous about fireworks all day i think she's just like sound like she's like
sensitive to sound right now or something um but i was like it'll be fine we'll stay in the very
back you know like just trying to like mentally yeah no that's fine you won't be able to hear them yeah i mean it's like
it's gonna seem like they're barely there uh and like you know she's like like the whole time we
were down there waiting for him she's like dad i want to go back there it's about to start i was
like no they're gonna announce it before it starts whatever and then finally she like like i was
talking to all these different friends star peterson all these people and uh finally she like, like I was talking to all these different friends, star Peterson, all these people.
And, uh, finally she just left without me.
I went back and sat down in their spot.
And then I look over and she's like talking to me.
And it's like, how do you, obviously I can't hear you from 50 yards away.
And then I look back again and she's like starting to cry and like really sad.
And it's like nine 45 at night. You know, it's like, I'm not going to mess with this girl.
Who's like already sleep deprived and tired.
And so I just we just like they literally were like, all right, 30 seconds.
And then the fireworks are starting. And she I've never seen her run so fast in her life up the hill.
She was like, we were we were both sprinting up the hill. I was like saying goodbye to people as I was, you know, running.
And we ended up watching the fireworks from the car in a way that was one of the more American things you could have done.
You know, run away from the fire, run from the fear. Yeah. that was one of the more american things you could have done you know run away from the fireworks from the fear yeah find a new territory for yourself yeah
good for you guys it was it was a patriot yeah exactly that's just like elvis oh sure just like
one of the better patriots yeah him and brady and uh but anyway it was kind of a sweet moment
actually honestly once we got in the truck and it was just like two of us looking at all these fireworks from afar like we were up with the
hill and yeah seeing all these things so all in all it was a great great time um and yeah
have a few other things uh but i want to hear about your week okay well one of the things that
happened this week is um i texted cody terrell and i was like hey did you hear what we said last week i
talked to him on the podcast and he was like no why i i've told you time and time again i don't
listen to your podcast quit bugging me quit trying to get me to listen to your podcast and i was like

i never have i never will okay but there was something in his eye that told me when i was
texting him tell him again hey one more time one more time yeah and i think that twinkle when i

One of the things I did this week,
I told you, we did the game show room.
Right.
This is by far the most interesting series of moments throughout my entire week.
So strap in.
The gentleman.
That's me strapping in.
He's strapped.
Yeah, boy.
Strap.
Boom, boom, boom.
Did you turn the gun sideways?
I think I kind of did. Oh, my. I think i kind of like maybe like angled 45 you've been watching some g unit music videos that's right perhaps maybe
50 degree angle uh but you know if you work at a game show room you're probably somewhat quirky
i think it's fair to say that's probably the job you should have yeah yeah quirky guy go work at a
game show room it can be way more enjoyable if you're quirky.
Yeah.
So we're dealing with some quirky fellows.
Some quirks.
Last time we went to the game show room, the guys were.
I guess now that I have something to compare them to more on the normal side.
These guys right off the bat seem just a little like weirder, but like we're going to be your host for tonight.
It's like, OK, great.
And we're talking to them.
And he was like, OK, now who booked it here? And I was like, I did. He's like, OK, so you're Jake Triplett and he was like okay now who booked it here and i was like i did he's
like okay so you're jake triplet i was like yep and he's like uh okay triplet so do you have are
they're like are your like brothers or sisters here too and i was like oh no it's uh just my
last name he goes i know i'm joking i was like oh okay sorry that's like a legitimate people ask
that like legitimately all the time so i thought you're being serious and uh i was like oh okay sorry people ask that like legitimately all the time
so I thought you were being serious and I was like
I'll tell you what I never hear is Jake
from State Farm and he
was like oh
so I was like oh what have I done
no dude I'm joking
bad delivery or bad
like reception either
for both of them yeah so kind of weird
start we get talking people are going to the restroom okay we're about to start and uh some time has passed he goes you
guys look like you're gonna be fun you know i had a group of asians in here the other day and he kind
of looks to his friend for like acknowledgement like remember yeah i had a group of asians here the other day and they were so boring i mean like
period end of story really really boring
so he says that i mean think about like the energy and the vibe everyone's so excited like
let's hurry and go play family feud and then he goes yeah and they were so boring i mean it's two
full seconds of silence and then of, of course, I break it.
I go, good story.
Because it was so awkward.
I wanted I was like, we can't let him off the hook.
We can't just be like, oh, OK.
I was like, he needs to feel the awkwardness.
That was so weird and so lame and so just rude.
Xenophobic.
Yeah. Yeah.
I was like, good story.
Oh, OK.
And he's like, yeah, anyway, you know.
Well, let's go over here.
Let's split up into teams you
know it's like okay and so we're like trying to think of teams and you know quietly we're like
what was that what would you know whatever and so we're like hey you know what this is one of
those things let's just have fun so the triplets versus coops triplets team name we're like let's
just hey he said at first we're gonna be the boring asians all right that's gonna be our team
name we'll be the wongs you be the yangs like i think i did suggest something like that like what are we
thinking lo mein um and so that was our team name and then the coops choose their team name to be
the strafford indians oh my god that's kind of fun um and so anyway uh he's talking to us okay
okay boring asians all right and um strafford indians got it he's kind of talking to us. Okay. Okay. Boring Asians. All right. And Stratford Indians.
Got it.
And he's kind of talking to us some more.
And he's like, all right, sorry.
I got to ask.
Like, what's the bit here?
Asians, Indians, what's going on?
And we were like, I mean, you said boring Asians earlier.
Yeah.
He's like, what?
I was like, you just told that story like out of nowhere about the Asian people who who came in here and said they were so boring he goes oh my gosh no you said
jake from stay from i said they were boring agents and so we were like oh okay okay all right and i
was like i swear he said all right whatever so now things switch and this guy had probably thought
we were the super racist ones because our team names are boring asians and strafford indians so he's like who am i about
to work with here yeah that was really funny like they're just guessing like the worst titles for
wheel of fortune um yeah and so anyway so that's like kind of awkward okay i think we've kind of
cleared the air a little bit and then he's like wow okay so i you guys just thought it was this
like racist guy the whole time we're kind of laughing like we didn't know that've kind of cleared the air a little bit. And then he's like, wow. OK, so you guys just thought it was this like racist guy.
The whole time we're kind of laughing like we didn't know that was kind of weird.
He's like, OK, well, I'll make sure to turn down the racism from here on out.
We're kind of laughing.
And then, dude, like 20 seconds later, he was like, all right, seriously.
He keeps reminding he keeps trying to sell us like seltzers and stuff.
He's like, so we're not drinking anything tonight.
We're like, no, no, we're all set.
You know, he's like, no alcohol.
What are you guys, Muslim?
He's like, dude, you can't say that i mean 15 seconds ago you said i'll turn down the racism and then you followed up by what are you guys muslim or something i thought he was gonna yeah like that's that's
funny like one what if we were two either way like are you gonna play this off no i said nationwide you have no no i said yeah what
what could that even be liberty mutual i said fussing like you're just what are you guys fussing
you guys fussing over your bottle bottle alcohol so this guy so we haven't even got into the game
so did you get after him when he said that all these things we were just like can we it was kind
of like let's just get like because i know i've done this before so i know once we get into the room it's going to
be so fun like for the love of god can we just move on in the room we're not even we haven't
started yet and all this is going on i think i even said to my dad i was like once we get in
there it'll be okay you know like once we just got to get through this part i don't know what
because they all you know they're like make team names and give each other weird, wacky names.
It's like the game is fun enough.
I don't you don't need to make this part fun.
This isn't a corporate retreat.
Like, let's just go in and we already like each other.
Like, let's go.
Yeah, that's yeah, exactly.
So anyway, that was just a wild.
I mean, imagine all that going down.
But for the next hour and a half, you are not in a space or able to debrief it.
And so as soon as we step out of that, then it's like everyone's in the parking lot or when we get
to andy's like let's talk about that oh my god what just happened what are you guys muslim
it was awesome uh so yeah good experience i don't even i don't even know enough about muslims to
know like is that like is that even an accurate assumption on his part i don't know i thought he's about to say what are you guys mormon yeah that would make sense i thought
you were gonna say too yeah i'm gonna look muslims alcohol muslims oh by the way did you figure out
tom hanks yeah i i'm looking through his uh filmography and i can't the guy's where i'm like
yeah he was a secondary character like maybe league of their own that was the first thing
came to mind when you prompted that but there's not like another like male not another guy on how
how lead was he in saving private ryan uh uh you ready for it guys i've never seen a lot of noises
oh really what that's okay you should put that on your list okay funny story about that movie
when i was a little schindler's list joke when i I was a little kid, I love, you know, you know, Brad, I love playing with GI Joes.
Me and Jordan James, I got, I got real into war stuff. Like I love playing with,
with planes and GI Joes. And I think it was concerning my parents, how much I enjoyed that.
And so one day my dad took me, uh, we were at my grandma's house he took me upstairs to a tv at saving
private ryan was on tv and he showed me the d-day scene to like say hey son this i kind of remember
you telling me that pretty much to be like this is what war is you should probably not play as much
with this type of stuff and not idolize it i was not very old i think i might have been 10 or 11 i would guess and that
that scene is gory and graphic sure oh i mean actual world war ii veterans say it's the most
like realistic depiction that they've ever seen really yeah and so i just imagine a like 10 11
year old boy watching this i mean i don't want to go to war i want to play with i want to play
with barbies i run out and just throw all my gi joes in the trash yeah that makes me feel less bad about shooting a guy metaphorically
not metaphorically but you know imagination lily because if if they're if their home life you know
they're getting shown stuff like that that's nothing so it is a well-known fact that muslims
don't drink alcohol well known well known to all of us okay i don't know about everybody knows it everybody knows everybody everybody knows that
yeah um okay so i went to the pool the other day with bow and hattie and bow is so fun but he's
also getting to be having an attitude hat or scott just saw it yeah he had dinner with us beforehand
uh and yeah saw some attitude from bo um and so yeah bo
he started to talk a lot more which is really fun but he obviously is too so he can't talk
super clearly sure and sharp jaw sharp sharp um but we have like at the pool that we go lifetime
they have these like kickboards is that what they're called like the those little foam like
that seems like a good word for it i think that is what it's called um so anyway we had one of
those and we were like taking turns back and forth like either sitting on them the kids were or like
surfing and you know they were having fun or whatever but bo like doesn't like taking turns
doesn't really understand the concept very well and really wanted to sit on the board. But Bo doesn't speak super well yet. And so S kind of sounds like S H. So instead of like,
like imagine he wanted to shoot, he would just yell, shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot.
And at first I didn't think twice about it because i was like oh it's
i know i know what he's saying but then i was like oh that sounds a lot like the other like
oh shoot and he's just screaming life everyone's making some assumptions about you that dad must
show yeah hackstall ridge to his little boy you know um shoot shoot like over and over again
and i finally was like hatt, your turn needs to be done
because we need to give it to Bo.
Is Hattie old enough to like understand like this is kind of a problem?
No, she has no bad words yet, I don't think.
No, no, no, not that.
Like you could tell your tone enough.
Like, hey, I need you to help me out here.
I'll have a turn because he's about to lose his mind.
No, not, not.
Yeah, yes and no, yes and no.
Like, but I don't think she really understands like when I'm like,
hey, level with me here.
Like your brother, like sometimes. Hey'm gary you're julius let's get some particulars
you should try that with her look i'm dad you're a hattie i yeah i don't think i don't think she
always understands but sometimes it's like just level with me you know like hattie you just be a
little more understanding of like you don't
need that toy right now just give it to him he's like but i want the toy so um so no not not
exactly but anyway bo's just screaming expletives at the pool and i didn't know what to do i was
like maybe no one thinks anything of it maybe people are just like oh that boy's just saying saying syllables like but i mean he is just yelling sit sit over and over again sit i sit i sit it's like oh you gotta stop he sounds
like in the pool yeah i said pool i said the pool like like no dude if he was just actually yelling
sit he would sound like all the people i play golf with because that's what they sound like they're just saying sit but then they take off their hat and
give you a handshake at the end of it but yeah that was a great video we've been going swimming
a lot i had he fell uh like getting out of the pool and like she she walked too fast and slipped
you know and so now i taught her like walk like a penguin. And so now like, if you know how she is, yeah.
Yeah.
So it's right.
Ellis.
Um, but Hattie is so cautious anyway.
So now ever since I've taught her this like trick, she walks like a slug.
Like it's like, so slow.
No, just at the pool.
Like she'll get out though.
And just like, I mean, it takes her, you know, two minutes to get around the pool.
That's kind of cute.
Unless you're in a hurry. No, it's not bad. It's just so, it's her, you know, two minutes to get around the pool. That's kind of cute. Unless you're in a hurry.
No, it's not bad.
It's just so it's so funny to watch her just like be so careful with her stuff.
That was enough for one slip.
And she's like, no way.
Oh, she she was crying.
I think it was just scary for a kid to do something like that.
Did your swim trunks stay intact this time?
Yeah, I got I got some new trunks.
So they're good.
New trunks.
We're from Academy Sports and Outdoors in the trunk club.
I think they just sell swim trunks, right?
Yeah, that's how it works.
Yeah.
Cool.
They send you trunks.
He's in the back.
Yeah.
Academy Sports.
Academy Sports.
I'm a big Academy guy.
Really?
I don't.
Yeah.
I don't need.
I don't need like super high in.
Scott's a big Naval Academy guy.
I know that.
Your instructor.
His exploits are legendary.
That's probably a quote from Top Gun,
but I'm not sure. Yeah, exactly.
None of us get it,
but we're like,
we understood the context.
You've seen it less than four times,
you don't know.
Guess what Catherine did by herself
on Fourth of July night.
Ooh.
Oh. my parents were like Catherine if you want to go hang out with your friends like for 4th of July

Yeah, they're they're gone.
They're gone.
Brad shot him.
Shut up.
They're never coming back.
But but I was like, oh, it's hot.
Oh, it's hot.
Every time I readjust, I'm reminded of how wet I am everywhere.
Yeah.
How firmly stuck to you is that?
The stomach is soaked.
Sorry.
Go on.
Catherine's friends are gone.
You're fine.
Thank you.
Anyway, but I was like, you should just go see Top Gun because we've been trying to find
a babysitter to go watch Top Gun together for a while ever since I saw it.
And we haven't been able to.
And she's like, that actually sounds awesome.
So she saw it, got a Top Gun at like 930, like that actually sounds awesome so she saw it got a top gun like
930 10 o'clock right as like
you know it was dark out all the fireworks were going
off and she was like it was euphoric
and she didn't get anyone didn't have anyone to share
with no she called me later on
and we talked about it but yeah
it sounded awesome if you guys
and this goes for Brad
or Scott or anyone listening
within earshot obviously by the time this comes out. It'll be too late Henry

That sounds so lame.
I'd go see it by myself.
I would love to go.
On July 4th when you're supposed to be with people.
We need to have you in the microphone if you're going to talk.
On July 4th when you're supposed to be with people, she said.
Yeah.
Anyway, I think it's fun.
It was really fun.
Did you tell him what I said about it?
Yeah.
Yeah.
And I said that's a bummer she had no one to share it with.
Yeah. Thank you. Obviously, I understand about it? Yeah. Yeah. And I said, that's a bummer. She had no one to share it with. Yeah.
Thank you.
Obviously, I understand.
It's more fun with other people.
But I also really enjoy doing things by myself sometimes.
Yeah, I do too.
I do too.
Since it was the 4th of July, I would have probably appreciated a friend to enjoy it with.
A friend?
Didn't you have to be a husband?
Just any sort of companion.
Maybe even an acquaintance.
I met him once.
I would have settled for a three doors down neighbor.
Catherine, when you look at me
and you think about going to the movies,
what comes to mind?
No, no, no.
Is this a trick question?
No, it's me asking you to see Elvis with me.
Yes, yes, yes. I would love to.
Thanks. Brad said no. And Scott
said something about pickleball. When are we going to see it?
I said pickleball and Elvis. Friday
night. Elvis.
We? Hey. Oh.
Whoa. All of a sudden.
No need for that companion anymore.
It's Jack.
If we both go
it becomes more complicated. Yes, that's that's true um hattie would love to go with
you though my mom and i were talking about the elvis movie and mom was like i want to go see
elvis really because she's seen elvis's uh birthplace so she's really into him yeah yeah
tuplo um they say a a real bad word towards the, but I think she could watch a lot of the beginning. Wait, you've seen it already?
Nope, just wearing this for fun, Kath.
I was wondering.
Just wearing this, cause I liked his music.
Just wearing it cause this is the one time
y'all are back in the shop with no air conditioning.
I was afraid I wouldn't sweat enough just sitting here.
I wanted to ensure I'd be soaked by the end.
So are they paying you to do an ad on the podcast?
Yeah, Warner Brothers.
Yep, we got Warner Brothers. Cool. I had a little speech effect ad? Yeah, Warner Brothers. Yep, we got Warner Brothers.
Cool.
I had a little speech about it.
I'm with Salt and Warner Brothers.
Cool.
And Tri-Links K-Life, at least shout out the sponsor of this episode.
Okay, but really though.
It's a resource.
You just like love the movie.
Huge Elvis kick right now.
It's all I can listen to.
It's all I can Google.
Really?
I've tried Googling other things.
It doesn't work.
Oh, that would be a bummer.
It's really fun
though. Big Elvis
fan right now. Okay, you should go to Tupelo.
I learned so much. I had no idea.
He grew up in an all black neighborhood and
that kind of explains why he was so
countercultural and why
he didn't really fit in a genre. He was like this
white person making black music
just meshed. That's why he was so well loved, I think. Yeah. Why he was up this white person making black music just meshed that's
why he was so well loved i think yeah why he was up there dancing like he was dancing dude there's
a great part and i think now that well whatever you know one of his first concerts in the movie
it's not too much as whether he's like what are they screaming about and then one of his band
members is like you know the wiggle that's funny my mom my mom went to go see that movie and she did say she's like well
there was a lot of a lot of pelvic gyrating in it in the elvis movie
okay maybe i went and saw bohemian rhapsody there was a lot of singing
weird oh uh i like the idea of you like in your mirror to yourself just being like
what are they all cheering for or whatever whatever he's like i like the idea of you like in your mirror to yourself just being like what are they all
cheering for or whatever whatever he's like I like the idea of you like quoting some of it
or when I get done off stage performing stand-up comedy what are they clapping
you know the jokes I don't know if he actually said it that white and lame but in my mind I've
like built it up now that that's how it was what are they screaming about well and like all the other people like back in the day like you were either like super cool
elvis or you had like this really like terrible voice like like this what are you talking about
buy my paper you know it's all over the papers coca pepsi
yeah it was kind of lame bye Bye, Kath. Love you.
Bye, Kath. From a cultural
musical standpoint, one of the other things I learned
in my Googling, John Lennon has a quote
and he says, before Elvis, there was nothing.
Interesting. I think just like
musically, like there was really nothing like
exciting. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah. He was
like the first person to make music
that stood the test of time. Isn't that how the book of
Genesis starts? In the beginning, there was Elvis. There there was nothing scott that's sacrilege sacrilege
i remember one of the uh that might be an old joke i heard maybe one of the first jokes i ever heard
i could have been like seven years old you know oh yeah let's do that let's go around and say those
real quick like the first joke you're hearing okay so this is like an old man in my church
who knows that i was like at church and liked baseball.
He's like, you know, the Bible's about baseball.
And I go, really?
And then, no, actually, I probably hid behind my mom.
Are you serious?
I think I probably hid behind my mom's leg.
And she was like, say something.
And then he's like, yeah, first four words in the Bible are about it.
In the beginning.
That's good.
Pretty funny.
Good story.
That was funny, Mistel.
You got one, Scott?
Can you remember any jokes?
First joke. No.
You'll have to help me with this.
Do you remember the one where there's manners, poop, and shut up?
Do you remember that joke?
What?
There's three people named Manners, Poop, and Shut Up.
And I think it's like Shut Up goes into town and asks for something.
They're like, okay, yeah, sure.
What's your name?
He goes, shut up.
No, what's your name?
He goes, shut up.
No, what's your name?
He's like, shut up.
And they say, oh, shoot, I forgot.
You have no manners.
Yeah, they say something like.
Next day comes into town.
Hey, what's your name?
Something about Manners.
Maybe.
The horse's name was Thursday.
Wait, wait, wait.
I'm going to start again.
You didn't hear any of that other part.
Lime.
Lime.
The horse's name was Friday.
Country Western.
Poop falls down.
Manor's goes and like, it's like, I'm going to go help him.
Like poop got hit by a car or something.
Like falls down.
Poop got shot in the head with a cap gun.
Yeah.
Manor's is like, I need to go help him.
Shut up. you go get
help like from an ambulance or something some this is obviously you can tell i really remember

We were contemplating what we wanted to do with this troublesome puppy in our house.
And we resolved to go on our troublesome puppy in our house and we resolved
to go on our vacation board him for 385 dollars and then uh give him a few weeks and decide what
we wanted to do so we board him go on vacation come home two days later we make the decision to

if it works and try him out for size yeah and i was like no no let's let's board him so we we
board him for another 400 and uh and then decide to give him away. Why did you board him? Because Sam wanted to do it?
Because Sam.
Yeah.
And so, yeah, we give him away two days after that.
And now he is in a very happy home with two other dogs and some dog people.
Oh, some dog people.
And Sam and Palmer and I are very content with not having a puppy in our house anymore.
Palmer's okay with it?
She's not like talking about it too much? No, she actually
has been surprisingly good with it. Sam said
she cried when she first told her,
but they went and had some retail
therapy buying dance costumes.
Nothing to get dance costume.
Some stooms really
solve the tears.

i don't know gosh you're saying hey mama i was so sweaty just sitting here yeah and then i did that
shirt dry ain't hype and it wasn't even a good performance.
By me.

By me.
Hey, I'm glistening now just by standing up.
Oh, you glisten on my bench.
I don't think so.
You glisten on my bench.
Who am I?
Peace.
Peace.
No, that was great.
That got me fired up.
Good.
Good singing.
You guys.
Good writing.
Josh Brumfield.
Do you know that quote?
You are my peace.
50 cent. No. Oh, Josh Brumfield. Do you know that quote? You eye my piece, 50 cent?
No.
Scary movie, too.
It is like the most random scene in a movie.
Is it from Transformers?
Yes, it's from the original Transformers.
Wow, I nailed that. Let's go.
He's like he got arrested or whatever.
He's at the police station at the very beginning.
You eye my piece, 50 cent?
It sounds like a pretty dumb quote it's it's it's a dumb quote and it's a it's like that could have easily been canceled
that whole scene that out shy love yeah catherine scott asked catherine after she watched top gun
like do you think miles teller is as hot as all the other girls and she's like honestly i mean
yeah of course like all the guys are like good looking that movie. But he just kind of reminds me of Shia LaBeouf.
Hold on.
It's his poker name.
At first, I think you phrased the question.
You said, do you think Miles Teller is as hot as the other girls?
Oh, the other girl was going to be whatever specific question was.
Do you think he's a babe?
OK, so, yeah, LaBeouf, LaBeouf.
In my research, I found a lot of things out recently about elvis
miles teller didn't get the role for elvis he auditioned for it oh it was like between austin
butler who got it harry styles and um miles teller i think obviously if they find the right
person for it it's better if it's somebody that you don't know beforehand it's kind of fun you
know what i mean that's a good point like it's like i love that kind of like visually like it's
coming out performing he looks a lot more like him than you know yeah he definitely does but
they might have been able to make those guys look like him i think yeah like does that guy look like
him in everyday life no really he doesn't look a crazy amount like him, but more like him than probably Harry Styles does. Yeah.
Okay.
I have a fun story.
I have been.
You good?
Oh, yeah.
I'm great.
Okay.
Aunt Cindy.
We all know her.
We all love her.
I paid her $88 yesterday.
You pay so much more than I do every month. Thank you.
I pay $36.
Why do you have a phone?
Why is yours so high?
Insurance? I'm on the iPhone forever plan, so I don't own my phone. I just $36. Why do you have a phone? Why do you have? Why is your so high? Insurance.
I'm on like the iPhone forever plan.
So I don't own my phone.
I just lease it.
Gotcha.
Every year I can get a new one.
Gotcha.
Well, planner, you on that's wicked cheap, bro.
Yeah, I know.
It's like a I don't know, a family plan with a bunch of other people in your family or
just, you know, I mean, I'm in there.
So, yeah, I think Jake's the only non family.
OK, you're on Cindy's plan, too.
Yeah.
Oh, gotcha.
Anyway, Cindy's the matriarch of that. Oh, okay. You're on Cindy's plan too? Yeah. Oh, gotcha. Anyway.
Cindy's the matriarch of that.
Gosh, are you guys hot listening to this?
It's so hot in here.
I mean, you're hot every time. And that's usually in air conditioning. So I could have told you.
And you know what? You've been bragging about like, you know, we were at, you know,
the nutrition house and the air conditioning was off and it's just nice. I'm like, I don't,
Jake's always been like a big, like, if it's hot, you hate it. I think I've said this from the beginning because I've always been
aware of it by far. The most high maintenance thing about me is that there's a very narrow
range of temperatures that I'm comfortable in and I don't like it about myself, but I can't help it.
I get cold so easily, but you turn the heat on and I get so stuffy. I get so stuffy. So yeah,
I'm just not. And like once you're hot, you're hot. Like you can't get off. Like you can't get
cool very quickly. It's hard to get off the hot box. And I mean, I don't not. And like once you're hot, you're hot. Like you can't get off. Like you can't get cool very quickly.
It's hard to get off the hot box.
And I mean, I don't mean that for you.
I mean that for everybody.
Like you can't downsize the threshold.
That's the right wording.
Cindy was at a bridal shower this week.
So my aunt Cindy teaches in Lewisburg or taught in Lewisburg for a long time.
Oh, Lewisburg.
Jake.
Go on.
Yeah.
Well, I'm going to talk about it.
So she was at the bridal shower for Emily Lemke's roommate.
Oh, no way.
Yeah.
Hold on.
Why was Aunt Cindy there?
Cindy's like the queen of Lewisburg.
So she's got invited.
I guess so.
So.
So, yeah, Jake used to date this one girl.
Megan is her name.
Let's call her Megan.
We'll call her March Madness Megan.
And anyway, Megan's mom and I think the whole Lemke family was there.
But Megan's mom mentioned like, yeah, we love their podcast.
We love it, whatever.
And Cindy's like, oh, that's great.
I'm glad you like it.
You know, Jake and Brad, they're so nice guys, whatever.
And then somebody else hears that and they're like, oh, I listened to that podcast too.
And they realized later, oh, you're Aunt Cindy, whatever.
Oh, you're Aunt Cindy.
I've been looking for you.
You're a celebrity around here.
Oh, you're Aunt Cindy.
But this woman is like a newer Lewisburg teacher.
So she didn't know Cindy from, you know, like.
Being the queen.
Yeah, being the queen of Lewisburg.
But she's like, yeah, my husband and I love it. And my husband comments on every single one of Brad's Instagram posts with a thumbs up. And I have, I have not given this guy one ounce of attention. I have not
like given him any kind of talking like on the podcast because I like, I don't, I, I, for a long
time I was like, I don't like this. Like, so you knew you noticed it. Oh my gosh. Yes. Of course. I get a notification every time anybody comments on anything.
And so I, every single time, like I know, like, cause I scheduled out my posts. I'm like,
oh, I know my post just went live because I got thumbs up. I love the consistency. That's awesome.
But now that I, now that like somehow we have a personal connection, I want to give a shout out
to my thumbs up biggest fan, Blake Draper. For the longest time, I was like, I am not giving this guy a time of day. You know,
people will often send me an email that just has the thumbs up emoji in it. And I think I just,
I literally said thumbs up is like, give me the finger and you're giving me thumbs up all the time.
But now I have, I mean, truly, I thought like, if I don't, if I don't respond to this guy,
eventually he's going to stop. And I mean mean there will be days where like he doesn't respond and doesn't comment and then like
he'll he'll comment on four posts in a row he fills it up so i gotta give a big shout to blake
draper for your consistency thank you for being a fan uh hopefully every comment you know helps on
social media and uh it's just crazy that like the small world of like your your wife now teaches in
lewisburg was at this uh bridal shower somehow meets celebrity and cindy you know julia roberts
you know in the limkey family and everything else so uh shout out to blake draper and his wife
we'll say your name is courtney i don't know let's just say it let's say it so it's just a
fun story crazy story fun so cool. The bugs are really congregating.
The bugs have found the light, which is good.
They've flown towards the light.
I saw Jeff Skillman at church on Sunday.
Okay.
And wave at him from up at the top of the stairs.
I listened to that this week.
I listened back to our podcast and that story is still so
funny to me you're like i don't think i should go all the way down to these 12 year old girls so i
just waved at him from the top of the stairs yeah i got to revisit the scene of the crime this week
rachel's like these are stairs like these are the stairs they were right down there when it happened
when i waved at him but uh how's jeff doing uh good uh
me and the coop sat pretty much front row at church um we got there in the line and um okay
so jeff saw me and he gave me like a during some point and i was like oh what's up and so
after the service i was gonna go back to say uh that's what's up to him yeah but i couldn't because
i got stopped by a ghostrunner listener. OK.
Kim Campbell.
Kim Campbell.
I don't know.
Let's say her name is Kim Campbell.
Let's say hypothetically Kim Campbell.
That's what I wrote down.
It's some kind of alliteration.
It's either that or like Brandon Butch Blankenship.
So I couldn't even see Jeff because I got stopped.
It was really fun.
So I saw Kimbo and she said something.
She's like Kimbo Slice.
What did she say?
Exactly.
She's like, I've been living in Kansas City
for a while. I listen to your podcast and I've always
tried to run into Brad.
Something like that. What a fun
challenge. I forget how she wrote it exactly. She's like, me and my friends
always talk about like, when are we going to run into Brad?
Does that mean that she's met you before?
I don't know. I think she just has a favorite.
I think she just doesn't understand
what it means to kind of be unintentionally
rude to me.
We've always wanted to meet Brad.
And she said something like, I would get a selfie, but I have a no phone policy in church.
I said, good for you.
Oh, yeah.
Good for you.
You want to use mine and I'll send it to you?
I'll draw you a picture.
Yeah.
Even better.
That's fun.
That was fun.
And then we went straight from church to Big Biscuit with early service.
Went and had a little brunch.
Yeah, sure.
And I'm holding the door open.
No.
Someone holds the door open for me.
No.
It doesn't matter.
Why do I care?
There is no door.
Hold on.
It was a revolving door.
There was no holding at all.
It's like an Encyclopedia Brown story.
I can't tell if these are bugs or stray hairs.
There was a little gnat.
So much is touching my face.
You guys are so funny with the bugs.
A girl holds the door open for,
no,
gosh,
a 12 year old girl.
It doesn't even matter.
It's your bull.
It's gotta be a good look at your butcher.
If you hold the door open for him,
I hold the door open for a girl.
And as she walks out of the restaurant,
it kind of Rachel coop style.
She goes,
I liked your video today and just keeps walking.
And I go, ah, and then she was gone. Who are you? Do you know? it kind of rachel coop style she goes i liked your video today and just keeps walking and i go
oh and then she was gone who are you nor do you know what do you want to see brad yeah he's not
here rachel's like nice try i've already i've already bagged him bagged him at a top golf in
september nice try i love it that was fun uh there was a guy at camp that said you do you do youtube
and ghost runners right he's like i recognize your voice. I was like, yeah. Uh, he's like, um, he's like, yeah, I listened to
you guys. Sometimes he said, Jake triple was the first person I ever met, uh, as a camper at camp.
He was like, Whoa, cause you were doing, you know, introductions or whatever. So you come around the
corner and there's Jake, you know, so I don't, I don't know his name. I'm sorry. I wouldn't
remember it anyway. You might've, He would have to be a really bad kid
for me to remember his name.
Katie Campbell.
Oh, yeah.
That kid had to pick up poop.
Mm-hmm.
He didn't have good manners.
Yeah, with manners.
So anyway, you're famous left and right, man.
That's fun.
Thanks.
But people want to meet me.
Here's some places that you can probably meet me.
Ellis Custom Creations.
You can come to my shop,
order a table.
This one.
Yep.
I'm just kidding.
I don't know.
Uh,
well,
we did talk about,
uh,
comic coffees having a,
uh,
trivia night.
Third Saturday of every month.
And this,
this,
uh,
month is the office theme.
So yeah,
I think,
uh,
I don't know.
It's not official,
but I think it'd be really fun to go.
I've texted Rachel about it. Cause I forgot she's going to Iowa that weekend, but we might just have to come back. I think, uh, I don't know. It's not official, but I think it'd be really fun to go. I've texted Rachel about it.
Cause I forgot she's going to Iowa that weekend,
but we might just have to come back.
I think we might.
Oh,
really?
End the weekend early.
Come back.
If you guys are in,
then we will come back from Iowa early to come do.
How fun would it be to just like raise an absolute ruckus at,
uh,
you know,
comic coffee and get like 200 ghosties there.
Like,
like they're expecting, you know, every other trivia night they've had, they have, you know, nine. Coffee and get like 200 ghosties there. Like, like they're expecting,
you know,
every other trivia night
they've had,
they have,
you know,
nine.
Yeah.
Like they'd be lucky
if they get two teams
and we just come
in guns a blazing.
I'm a little nervous
to even leave Iowa early
because every single time
I go to Comet Coffee,
I'm the only person in there.
Like I am their only customer
as far as I know.
I took like Rachel's brother
when he was in town
and he was like, oh, you know.
You took somebody like as a tourist,
like you got to try coffee.
This is a destination coffee spot.
Yeah, I wish I could have taken more people.
And the only thing I like about them
is what they outsource, which is their pastry.
And they switch to they do their pastries from.
So now what's my reason to go there?
They got new pastry, like new pastry shapes too. New danishes. Did you figure out the original source of where they? No, I need to go there they got new pastry like new pastry shapes do new danishes did
you figure out the original source of where they know i need to find where they came from you're
absolutely right i just go up and ask them hey where do you see your danishes from okay thank
you and just walk away and you know where that is way better yeah should i take the highway for that
fast road isn't it like one of those like do you do you feel like there's some places that you go
over and over again and you say why why do I keep trying this place out?
It's never good.
Like, I feel like Comet Coffee sounds like that's kind of your thing.
Like, it's like, maybe this time they're not going to disappoint me.
Like, maybe this time their coffee is better.
Maybe they learned how to have a better pastry.
I want to teach Whataburger a lesson, but it's hard because they're a big company.
Sure.
They move so slowly.
It's the worst, like, just efficiency that I've ever seen in a, you know, yeah. Million
dollar company. I've avoided going there. So this has been a Kansas city. So I want to teach them a
lesson. Everyone stop going until they figure out how to move their drive through faster. Yes.
There's a, one of the home depots here in town, the one on Johnson drive. I, every time I go
there, I think, why did I fall into this trap again yeah you gotta teach
him a lesson i don't know how how do i just spank him okay sure what elvis song are you guys humming
i can't hear
what if i did that as an elvis imperson That'd be cool. Anyway, that's fun.
Anyway.
Comic Coffee.
I like the idea of meeting me at Comic Coffee.
Oh yeah, places they can meet us.
You can meet me at Volleyball Beach Sundays at 9pm.
Come watch our volleyball games.
That'd be fun.
I met McLean's a lot.
I don't know.
I'm off and on with McLean's though.
I also go to Panera when they have air conditioning.
I go to church at lenexa baptist church come come as you are come as you are and come meet me uh come in your merch where else my address no i'm just kidding um
jake's address every you know tuesday wednesday thursday night evening sometime you know some we record one
of those days so you could just just look or so every like once at least once a year we go swimming
at jake's pool so you guys can meet us there train i talked about doing some pool based videos soon
okay so you're welcome yeah i suggested those for you nips out we yeah we uh we swam at camp and Hattie thought it was so cool
that I could do cannonballs off the diving board.
That is cool.
I've told you before that's cool you can do cannonballs.
Yeah, I'm just so special like that.
Yeah, that's fun.
I biffed it this week.
Oh, no.
I looked at my phone.
I hadn't been looking at my phone for a while.
Kim Campbell policy.
Kim Campbell.
Yeah, exactly.
I have the Kim Campbell policy when I'm working sometimes
and look at my phone to Google something
and I've been locked out.
Okay.
But I don't know how long,
as long as you've ever been locked out,
but I bet it's not 54 minutes.
54 minutes of being locked out.
Your phone or Google?
From my phone. Google. google google like your google account or
something no no just just my i can't google anything what am i gonna do safari don't go
yeah am i gonna ask jeeves all of a sudden uh 54 minutes and so what's how i think to wait
yeah dude you can't enter in your password at that point and just be good
no you can emergency call or wait i would call 9-1-1 say this is an emergency it's 54 minutes
i get my phone uh yeah call call apple how did you get locked out i think i had like kind of
athletic shorts on like this and maybe you know how like sometimes like you're it'll like raise
to wake or whatever your phone i don't know if maybe when I moved a certain way, it like raised in the athletic shorts.
Some body heat coming from your thigh.
Were you dancing like Elvis?
You know, there's like some materials that-
Did you have an Elvis costume on?
Can I talk on my podcast?
Did I have an Elvis costume on?
No, I didn't.
Of course I didn't.
Boo.
Whatever.
I think, you know, some material,
like you have gloves, like yeah touch screen gloves i
don't know if it's this material or what that just it it made it you know i i had a bunch of attempts
so your pocket like incorrectly guess your password a bunch of times and then 54 minutes
later i'm because i i went to home home depot and i was like i think they have this product i was
like i can't check you know so i had to go to home depot touch screen gloves
in your pocket prank anyway it was it was it was a biff i biffed it so 54 minutes i've never i've
never seen like i think the longest ever before that was like five so 54 is pretty unbelievable
that's a long that's a pretty long time to be annoyed and i don't, like maybe you can plug it into like your computer or something and unlock it.
I don't know.
It just kept zonking you every time you tried to get in.
Well,
if you try again,
then obviously that's how it makes it take more time.
Like it gives you,
it gives you more of a penalty.
So that's too bad.
Power play.
What a weird punishment.
Just locking.
I guess it's just,
it's like,
who's that protecting? Like if your phone falls into a
thief's hand let's not give them unlimited guesses let's make them wait yeah i got unlimited
i let them have the unlimited guesses yeah you got unlimited guesses yeah and that was my home
security yeah anyway that's too bad.
When I just said Volleyball Beach,
that reminded me,
I didn't write this down necessarily
because it'd be kind of hard to explain.
But basically,
we played one of the weirder teams
at Volleyball this past week
and Rachel's family was there to witness it.
Right off the bat,
we knew it was going to be weird.
We go to set our stuff down on the bench
and the guy's like,
we're on this court.
He's like, oh yeah, yeah.
Okay, we must be playing you guys.
He's like,
so you set your stuff over there.
I was like, oh. Power trip. Power trip. Marking his territory. Then he throws on these sunglasses yeah okay we must be playing you guys he's like so you set your stuff over there oh it's like oh
then he throws on these sunglasses that are we play volleyball at night right uh he throws on
sunglasses that are like orange like volleyball like night like athletic sunglasses yeah yeah
got the strap around the head uh no not a strap but just like thin like look like volleyball
sunglasses and they're like orange
like they look aerodynamic somehow yeah like you could bike in them well yeah it's like wow this
guy takes it serious and they were not good and they were so lame about it they kept calling
rachel out for things that they thought she was doing illegally which is amazing because she has
more talent than anyone on the court and more experience yeah so much experience like she
knows if she's doing something all she's done her whole life is set the volleyball and they're like
not quite it's a rachel of course doesn't fight back or anything she just goes sorry i'm just a
beginner i don't know what i'm doing i'm like no you stayed up for yourself uh actually no i was
like don't mess with these people they might be on bath salts so um they were like really weird
yeah they were a little interesting and then they got mad at us for being in the wrong league afterwards like you guys need
to play up a league it was like oh no we're actually like three and three like we're 500
right now yeah and they're like ah no what court have you been playing on and we're like this one
that one bench where have you been putting your stuff where do you put your wall yeah
no no yeah not where you play.
Where's your phone set?
Aren't you guys in the competitive league?
There is like advanced, upper, upper advanced.
And then we're in upper intermediate.
Okay.
There's Delta Skyline, Sky Plus.
And there's Mile High Club, which is where they have probably been before.
Anyway, do you want to do like a voice memo or two? Sure. Don't have to,'t have to hey it's your podcast man i'm just here just like scott no yeah it's dude that just reminded me uh
one of the other this game show host was so weird one he uh definitely was flirting with rachel the
whole night pretty subtle stuff didn't feel like i needed to step in but just kind of aware of it
because it was like coops for striplets around opposite sides i don't think you like really put it together just like kept like touching her
like name tag and like gave her oh high fives out the wazoo held that high five hey good good
answer rachel i got no high fives brad no high fives for me no high fives for tim no high fives
trish no give her a kiss on the cheek you made out with her for like three minutes yeah is that
worth more or less that That's Richard Dawson.
That's just Family Feud.
That's what you do.
Yeah.
When he went to take a picture of the group, it was on Rachel's phone and he took like
selfies of himself, like kind of with his dog out.
That was weird.
That is something that needs to be extinct.
It's not funny.
It's not funny.
It was it was funny for like a week one time.
If you had an iPhone five in your hand, it was still funny.
Like that was like, like oh that guy's
kind of quirky i don't know him and he's doing that picture of himself ever since then unless
unless you can somehow upgrade that prank don't do it you could somehow without us knowing film
an entire youtube video on your front face and get like of your face yeah go out right ahead
what's up guys yeah if you're a ventriloquist you never open your mouth uh
but something you said just right oh yeah he was like there was this it was a showcase showdown
and the price is right and so he's kind of explaining how it worked you know this is the
end like this is no longer how much does the tide detergent cost this is how much does a seven-day
alaska trip cost and on top of having to guess this
massive number you don't really get to choose the number you have to roll a dice and then whatever
the dice rolls on okay it's a four now you have to put a four somewhere in the number so it's like
do you want to be in the tens digit hundreds digit interesting thousands digit so yeah it's
like you don't even get to choose and he's like but here's where you know if the team gets it
right you get one point if you get it within this you get where, you know, if the team gets it right, you get one point. If you get it within this, you get two points, you know, and if you get it exactly right,
I'll give you three points.
And I was like, whoa, whoa, whoa.
I was like, if we get it exactly right, you're exactly right.
It's like, it's like can jam.
If you make it in the little slit, you win the game.
That's what I said.
I was like, you should, you should get a million points.
Yeah, that's crazy.
It's game over because not only you have to like guess the right number, but the dice, you have to also
like, yeah, roll this dice.
They're like four or five hundred numbers.
Like this is absurd.
I was like, you should get a million.
Right.
And he goes, dude, I just work here.
I was like, that's why I'm telling you.
Yeah.
Just the whole thing.
You have more like authority to like change it than I do.
It was such a terrible comeback, dude.
I just work
here i know i'm talking about the rules nathan and how hard is it to like change the rules of
a game like that on the on the fly like it's like i have to go to the rules committee on this before
i talk you gotta call the old boss man it's friday at 11 so he's gonna be asleep so can i get back to
you guys tomorrow do you guys work here i just just work here. So that's been my quote ever since.
I don't know.
Well, I don't know.
I just work here.
That's great.
Don't ask me.
Okay, so voice memos.
Let's do it.
Hey, here we go.
Scott, you and Jess.
Hey, Jacob, Brad.
It's Keith from Indiana.
Thank you for being the best podcast ever.
The only one I listened to.
I finally got caught up on all your episodes
and then I realized I have to wait a week for every new episode to come out.
And so I was really sad about that.
That's how it works.
But I have a question for you.
Me and my brother were talking.
We were so confused on which Scott is which.
Because I never thought about it that there was two Scotts.
Then I stopped and think about it.
I was like, oh, wait, there's Scott Peck and Scott Zell.
And I was so confused.
If you could just clarify which one is which and what they both do and how you met them
can you hear this would be great thank you so much and then also um what is one thing that
somebody you knew had or your friends had in their house or something special about the house that
you always wanted or what is something that you had in your house that everybody else wanted um
we have a slide in our house and i was just wondering what there's anything else you guys had that you wanted or
had so thank you guys i love your podcast have a great week thank you brad i think you should
you should answer the question without telling scott what the question is okay so yeah um her
name is kate so kate the first question you're talking about right yeah okay so kate um we'll call one
c and one p okay okay to understand what we're talking about here good good uh so c
let's think of how i should say how i should lie about this answer not not give the real answer. Uh, so C is just this guy. Would you say younger?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Um,
we're talking 14 to 18.
Um,
a variety of different cell phones that he had.
I think,
um,
maybe he had,
uh,
you know,
one of those,
like,
like the,
like,
like half,
half flips up,
like just half slides. Oh lot. Um, and I mean, just to, just to all around funny guy, but like really scrawny. Um, and just, I think, I think one time, uh, like back in the day we were in
the same weights class and he would just bench the bar. Okay.
So just, you know, and just an all around nice guy, but just kind of down on his luck with the ladies quite a bit.
Are you describing me in high school?
Had some ladies, but like, I don't know if they were the best.
Okay. And what about P?
Cream of the crop.
So P on the other hand. Cream of the crop.
P is strong.
Okay.
P P like,
he likes to really think he's strong and, um,
drives a nicer car than a seated.
Okay.
Um,
still driving though.
So since it's a proxy,
still driving,
uh,
doesn't use T nine anymore.
Uh,
but listens to a lot more,
um, T pain. No, a lot more um t-pain no a lot more
david getta a lot more uh you know just david getta other edm stuff a lot of reggae tone
and uh you know thinks he knows what he wants in life but then i don't know two three months
later just kind of abandons it and sends it to a cousin um so all around just bad judge of
character kind of rude on podcasts sometimes when uh his best friend that he's known since
uh for 25 years you know he's trying to tell a story. A really good joke, by the way.
And no.
Scott, do you have any guesses?
I feel like Brad's describing ghost of Scott past and ghost of Scott present.
C stands for Scott.
Cell.
Contemporary.
P stands for Scott. Present present scott peck so this girl asked uh you know there's two different scotts there's a scott scott sell and there's a scott peck
uh kate is that her name kate miller kate they're the same they're the same one in the same one in
the same the whole idea that kind of the joke behind scott sell was like back in the day and maybe they don't even do this anymore as kids i don't know
what the kids are doing uh but back in the day when you add people into your cell phone you didn't
ever have to put their last names because your world was so finite that you never thought you'd
meet another scott in your life or another kate like even even our friend rustin's little or older
brother brit his his contact in my phone
is just brit everyone from high school is still just the first name of my phone you know it's
just brit uh so anyway that's that's the whole idea of scott sell it was like that he's one of
the ogs he's one of the like one of my best friends for life and you can know that because
because yeah he doesn't have a two name.
Yeah.
Contact fun.
So Scott,
Scott,
so Jake,
do you think that girl we met down in Wichita at the restaurant is
listening still?
And it's like,
Hey,
I met him a long time ago.
Do you remember that?
You were at a pizza.
I'll tell you the story.
You're at a pizza place at a pickleball tournament and they met you and
they're like,
Oh,
I love your podcast.
And Scott's like,
Oh,
well, do you know me too?
I'm Scott Sell.
And we probably mentioned Scott, you know,
five or 10 times at this point.
I'm still a fairly new character on the show.
She didn't remember him.
Is that pretty much it?
Basically, yeah.
Yeah.
So I'm just wondering if she's listening now. Scott thinks about that every single day.
How do I get in the ecosystem?
As he straps in.
Yeah, she's like, i met him huh that's
wild now i know no uh the second half of kate miller's question was like did you like uh were
you zealous did you idolize like a feature of someone else's like home when you were a child
sam dwyer's house had all the best snacks oh snacks oh just the fridge was always stocked
with homemade stuff too yes and she would always gingerbread cookies
she would make cookies and she would put them in the fridge something about a freezer freezer
yeah you're right you're right man that sounds good and she always had like 150 200 ice pops
like ices you know and so we'd eat you know 10 every time and it was like they never ran out i
mean they just it was like this unlimited supply like shark's teeth it was wonderful a new road comes in yes exactly i always wanted a trap door i know we talked about fireman's
bowl or like revolving door like last week a couple weeks but trap door is always fun to me too
like under the rug under the carpet it leads to somewhere dude that's so cool it's like a dr
pepper cellar i watched a lot of like sitcoms grown-ups uh full house family matters they
always had a swinging door like from their kitchen into their living room like it was never like a yeah it was it was
a swinging door and i always was like the only time i've ever seen that i was on tv shows but
i want one of those in my house yeah so um i think i was also jealous she said she had a slide in her
house sorry yeah she did have a slide that's insane i wanted a golden retriever sometimes
you'd find those in homes yeah still don't have one also you don't want a dog can you think of anything else that our friends had that
was like oh do you ever go to ethan johnson's house yes ej ethan johnson had an amazing home
theater yeah watch the ring down there scared the whole time yes i was oh my gosh i was like
but there were girls with us so i was like that wasn't scary. Like I scared of this.
Honestly,
I was like just waiting for the scary part.
Like,
like,
I mean,
that was like kind of scary.
Like,
like I'm not gonna lie.
Like I got a little nervous,
but like,
and then it was like over.
So I wasn't that scary.
This is a great character.
We should try a tick tock at this ninth grader watching a scary movie.
And with women around trying to be strong.
Yeah.
Yeah.
There were so many things i said back in the day
to like try to impress girls like i remember like being in like i wasn't truly embarrassed but i
acted like i was embarrassed to say that little kids were cute like oh yeah like there's this kid
that you know like one of my cousins has a specific has a three-year-old boy and honestly
like don't make fun of me or anything but like i just think he's really cute sorry for saying that no and i was like i was like nerve i was like i was like pretending to be like
like embarrassed like i'm such a manly guy for having a sensitive side but in reality i was
just like this really just like sweet kid that was just trying to look cooler than i really was
like we're never more confident than talking about those kids we had to act nervous like
brad's screen name was little kid lover yeah i i promise i don't usually say this but like that I really was. We were never more confident than talking about those kids. We had to act nervous to appeal to the women.
Brad's screen name
was Little Kid Lover.
Yeah, I promise
I don't usually say this,
but like,
like that baby,
that's just cute.
Like,
sorry,
I shouldn't.
Rude vomit.
Yeah, I don't know.
So, yeah,
stuff like that around girls.
I mean,
I could just think of
probably a lot of different things
I did, like to try to impress Allie Sweet back in the day. Your last name was Sweet? Oh, yeah. Don't blame you. stuff like that around girls i mean i could just think of probably a lot of different things i did
like to try to impress ally sweet back in the day your last name was sweet oh yeah don't blame you
she was great you did not are you kidding for like a day maybe no it was at least a week no way
yeah try five dude seventh try like a full week of school seventh grade scotty p was on fire i was landing landing chicks left and right
holding hands holding hands you know i went hugs i went to scott's first kiss
i went to scott's first kiss yeah it was it was painful no it was hot dude i loved it
hotter than i am right now no i don't think anything's hotter than that uh yeah i was like
like we knew it was gonna happen
because it was like right before a break right before summer break it was like i'm gonna i'm
gonna kiss jessica today i'm gonna kiss her and i was like i was like too close to the to what was
happening like i was like i got kissed actually that was probably a little bit farther away than
you and i right now and he's like okay bye and like they just hugged him first and i was like dude come on man yeah i went back in he went back in for it got the kill i got the kill yeah
i just know and he started giggling afterwards like it was pickleball

You know, you get Jacob State Farm jokes.
Yeah, it's fine.
I'll take him.
Scott Peck was an American psychiatrist and bestselling author.
He wrote the book The Road Less Traveled.
What about whatever?
Chicken soup for the soul?
I don't know.
Uh, Scott,
I feel like the last couple of weeks we have,
you've,
you've had stuff like in your notes that we have not gotten to,
or we're not opened up to you to express.
So I would like to do that time now.
Wow.
Would you like to,
that's very considerate of you,
bro.
You're welcome.
I do have a few notes.
Okay.
Um,
stranger things. I feel like there's jake you're not a stranger things guy are you you watched a season and a
half okay really liked it yeah this just finished uh season four last night and i feel like there's
got to be a lot of listeners out there that probably are in the same boat. And it was wild.
Cool.
I heard it's a little demonic in season four.
It's it's a lot.
I told Brad last night.
So yesterday, two days ago.
Here we go.
Two days ago, Sam and I watched the second to last episode.
And I got real excited and I was like, we should watch the finale, you know, like, let's stay up late and watch it.
And it's I we started it and it was two and a half hours long. I was like, OK, that's that's going to put us to bed at a pretty late
hour. So we'll save it for tomorrow. So yesterday, all I'm thinking about is Stranger Things finale.
And I knew Sam was going to have a really busy day. So I was like, Sam, whatever energy you need
to reserve in your daily activities to be able to watch Stranger Things tonight, please do it.
And so we get sacrifices being made to watch your favorite tonight, please do it. And so we get home.
Sacrifice is being made to watch your favorite show.
I know.
Wow.
So we get,
we get home and Sam's like,
no,
not a chance.
Am I staying up and watching?
I was like,
okay,
fine.
I'm going to watch it.
I'm going to go watch it by myself.
I'll rewatch it with you.
I promise.
So I'm downstairs in my basement at about 11 o'clock at night alone,
watching the final episode. and there's a few
moments where unashamedly i'm a 31 year old man i grabbed a pillow i had knees to chest
pillow and i mean pillow covering my nose and and i was i mean yeah there was one scene where
i literally was like i could barely see over the pillow yeah i mean it's there's some there's very different than ethan johnson yeah you know never never when i was a teenager watching
the ring would i do something like this but now as a married 31 year old i i was full-on
cowering behind a pillow yeah i heard that like you know stranger things start off as more like
thriller it's a little dark sci-fi yeah and now it's like horror and the actors are like they started off as literal like kid i mean like 10 and 11 year olds and now they're
a little bit older and yeah the the very first episode of this season the first character that
gets killed the way that they are killed it's like oh my gosh like we're stepping we're stepping
yeah they shot him five times in the head no it's it's it's they they kick up the the horror a little bit in this season.
But Brad, let's try to guess things that have happened in season four.

Scott,

I do have a few other things.
Do you think Jake would appreciate the Finland and Sweden story,
Brad?
Yes,
probably.
I've been playing a lot of geo guesser,
so I can tell you the difference between Finland and Sweden sweden so sam's gonna hate that i tell this story
on the podcast but it i i laugh so hard so we're driving we're driving down to the zacks this last
week the zacks the zacks yo zacks yo zacks you guys can have it you're not from there so yes
slander it all you want no we're trying we're trying to get the zacks started i'm just kidding

So where are you going this week in Southwest Missouri?
Oh, you're going to the Zacks.
Oh, Zacks.
Yeah.
Got a summer home in the Zacks.
Oh, it's beautiful, that place in the Zacks.
Yeah, love the rolling hills in the Zacks.
I have a jet ski.
I have a little pontoon in the Zacks.
Yeah.
So we're driving down. The Zarks.
Wa-Zarks.
Wa-Zarks.
Do-do-do-do-do.
Zarks.
Zarks.
Zarks.
Sorry, go ahead.
We're driving down.
Sam's in the passenger seat, just kind of scrolling through Facebook.
And it's just quiet in the car.
And then all of a sudden, just truly out of nowhere, she goes, wow, Finland and Sweden
have joined NATO.
The Swiss are no longer neutral.
What a wild sentence.
And there's like a,
there's like a,
there's like a five second pause.
And I turned to Sam and I was like,
and I kind of dawned on me what happened.
And I was like,
wait,
who do you think is the Swiss?
She goes,
isn't that Swedeneden and i was
like no oh even after you asked her and she thought about it she thought it was sweden yeah
okay i go no sam that's switzerland she goes what it's like yeah that's who the swiss are
so i was like what about the dutch do you know who the dutch are i was gonna say i'll give you
that that is confusing yeah it is very nether confusing. Netherlands are Dutch and Denmark is Danish.
Yes.
Yeah.
Sorry, Danish.
Those people from the Netherlands know how to make those Danishes.
Oh, they're lucky.
And the Swedes can really make a mean cheese.
That's why the Danish are so happy.
Look at the Swedish army knife.
I've started using the Swiss are no longer neutral as a non sequitur.
Just kind of like.
You guys hear?
Swiss are neutral.
Basically like the idioms we started with.
Swiss are no longer neutral.
That's funny.
You guys want to go Chipotle?
Are the Swiss no longer neutral?
Let's do it.
Yeah.
You want to go Chipotle?
Did the only worm get the worm?
That's what I thought. Okay. You want to go Chipotle? Did the only worm get the worm?
That's what I thought.
Okay.
Last thing I have.
While we were down at the lake,
I was scrolling through the channels and I stumbled upon Wimbledon.
You guys ever watch tennis?
Scrolling through the chain.
Oh,
just like TV channels.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Sorry.
Yeah.
It's hard for me to remember.
Like with the remote. just like on right cable tv
with your mind scrolling you guys ever watch tennis yeah a little bit i mean not not anymore
but i remember when rafa and uh federer were going after it i liked watching them would you guys say
it's a gentleman's game like players are pretty cordial with one another during the match i think
you're supposed to be that's the expectation i think sure yeah i would agree with that i don't know if i yeah they
definitely beef though yeah and especially especially at wimbledon you're kind of on
ceremony i mean you're generally playing in front of yeah the prince and stuff oh cool i didn't know
that so i i turned this match on and within the first like 30 seconds they're they're covering
something controversial in the match and they show a replay of it. Oh, did you hear about this?
What?
Oh, you go.
Yeah.
Oh, okay.
So I didn't see that yet,
but they showed this guy, his name's Stefanos Tsitsipas.
Tsitsipas?
Where do you think he's from?
Stefanos Tsitsipas, he's from Greece.
Yeah, you nailed it.
GeoGuessr, look at this.
Yeah, great job.
So he drops the ball
and then just backhand swings a ball and smokes
one into the crowd like oh because he's frustrated yeah just a couple people like couple rows up the
ball ricochets off the back wall and hits a guy in the head okay and so his play the guy he's
playing against nick curios where do you think he's from curios curious george uh jungle somewhere
king george oh okay eng England. England jungles.
Yeah.
No, Leicester.
Leicester Square.
He's in Aussie.
Aussie.
He's a Kiwi.
I knew they drove on the left side of the road.
Geo geyser.
So he's in this moment.
He's complaining to the chair judge that this guy should be disqualified for smacking a ball into a crowd, which I think he's got a leg to stand on.
That's kind of it's kind of not cool. Like, like hey i'm terrified to play against a psychopath can we do something
about this i'm not sure what he's capable of yeah and so as the match goes on you can just
see the tension between these guys rising cool so like there's one there's one part where a ball
like curios hits a ball that's very close to the net and it's kind of charging a little bit. But this guy has an overhead slam and Sisypas just like drills the ball at Kyrgios,
like has the whole court wide open.
But it's not like a Sisypas to me.
I like it.
I like it.
He was not a Sisypas.
OK, so he just wails on the ball right at him.
And then there's another part where Kyrgios hits an underhand serve.
Yeah.
And Sisypas is charging towards the
net and just does this exact same thing and just hits the ball as hard as he can off of the back
wall like makes no attempt to actually get the ball in play what's your take what do you think
about it i thought it was i thought it was awesome yeah this is so fun i was about to say if you
don't think that's awesome you're too old like you're getting old because because that is
entertainment right there like it's like i want
him to have a little bit of emotion like yeah you can either win a point or you could like yeah
you know set the tone here let's see some stuff yeah there's there was like three other moments
where where like sissy pus hit a ball at him and and and so anyways curio sends up winning the
match and then in the post the post game uh press conferences they are just
going at each other cool and so i'm watching those now too and i'm like this is awesome like this is
so fun and and even like the pickleball guys that i play with we had a group chat going talking
about this match and i'm like this has never happened before for me with tennis talking
tennis we should get more of this like dodgeball tennis yeah i mean i mean it's not
illegal to hit it at somebody right no it was it was just i'd never seen it before and it was so
entertaining the like instagram and tiktok algorithm know that i like pickleball so they'll
show me tennis stuff occasionally so i see stuff from time to time yeah i didn't know that it led
to all that or anything yeah i think that's great i think that's what's good for sports it's it's
good for anything it's a little tension a little rivalry oh yeah look at logan and jake
paul they were not that big youtubers until they had this fake like brother beef and everyone like
tuned into that that was a big thing and everyone tuned you tuned to that scott well it's on his
channel yeah yeah um i've i've thought about that for pickleball like at the pro level there's no
like everyone's just like friends and you know no one like cares there's no rivalry well there
was just a match recently where there was just a match recently where where guys were jawing big time and it kind
of made pickleball headlines so that doesn't get very big you guys listening you know there's not
a big reach for pickleball headlines the daily kitchen which is but yeah there was guys that
they basically spent the entire match just jawing back and forth and everybody loved it so cool oh yeah maybe i should release some of that information i know into the
pickleball community so they get fired up oh baby that would i was like there might be a little bit
of rivalry that would stir the pot rivalry is a word for it uh no that's fun no gosh i i can't
believe you said that because i was thinking the same thing i was like ah that's not whatever there's some sensitive information that could be
released into the pickleball atmosphere anyway all right um cool thanks scott for the updates
any final words as we get into our reviews of the week um yeah i don't think i have any final words
let me double check here um no i have i i need to figure out what this is i just
wrote down the word brandon in my notes and i'm always like a pretty good like that sounds like
my notes yeah i don't know why i just i don't know what that means so maybe i'll think about
it later but if your name is brandon you recognize brandon public this is him saying hey it was nice
to meet you hey shout out brandon general brandon is that what it was was it we were gonna make a political statement i've thought about that for conservative dad be like like
at a baseball game be like hey come on brandon and then just kind of looking looking looking
over like kind of like smirking like his name come on let's go brandon come on brandon hey
his name's dylan oh my we gotta i call him brandon come on is buzzing the tower uh no i don't have anything else uh
well this is a fun little quick story me and hattie this is just like living with brad ellis
as your dad the other day we were you know coming back from vbs there's all these songs that they
have a soundtrack for vbs what does vbs stand for uh vacation bible school got it and uh you know
like there's a song uh spark studio so i'm like trying to get into
spark studios like going nuts is it i wish okay i don't know what's in uh keep going i'm not even
interested honestly um uh but i'm just like going nuts and i'm looking back at her like i i'm going
as nuts as i would go for a jingle like i am i am absolutely all out for this thing that's so
and she could not be less entertained. And I finally just go,
I look back in the rear view mirror.
I go, nothing?
And she just kind of smiled,
just goes,
just shrugged her shoulders.
And it was the sweetest,
cutest little thing.
I'm Gary, you're Julius.
I dance for you.
All right.
That's how it's going to work.
I was like,
someday you're going to miss me, Hattie.
Someday you're going to miss these times.
But it's just one of those things
where she's like,
now you got to earn it, dad. of those things where she's like now you gotta
earn it dad like not everything's gonna be you know a1 so anyway i have a lot of those moments
with palmer nothing nothing are you not entertained yeah yeah i bet i'm gonna feel that way like
i could see me like instead of reading a bedtime story like i'm just gonna make one up
yes for like 10 minutes just making up a story and like i don't even think she cared i don't think she noticed i didn't have a book gosh yeah in my
just read my experience the made-up stories are always a hit like okay yeah so so but but maybe
your stories are bad i don't know but yeah i also don't have a daughter yet so who knows i can't
wait for you to have a daughter oh yeah or a son Or a son. Little volleyball player. Yep. Little setter. Little suppler.

My final words are gonna be
I remember it's something
that I should have said
last week
when we were playing golf
I talked about
the generational gap
when we were filming
like old people
thought it was so annoying
and young people
thought it was cool
someone came up
and was like
what are you guys filming
and I kind of
explained it to him
and I was like
that guy over there
so he is like
pretty famous online
his name is Trey Kennedy
but we all like
post videos
where everybody's like
what's your name
and I don't know
why I did this
I've never did this I told him my name was jean shorts i don't know why it just it just
came out of me oh i love that i love the idea of your stage name or whatever like oh no that's my
youtube channel they call me jean shorts oh geez no my name's ghost runner oh no my podcast that's my podcast dang it oh my gosh what's your name

Jean shorts.
Oh, brother.
Okay.
Let's do our reviews of the week.
If you want.
You want?
Yeah, mine.
Yes, I do.
Mine is coming from Maddie with four emojis.
Let me, let me, let me give you, let me give you the emojis and just, just see if you recognize them, Jake.
Okay.
Ready?
I'm going to, I'm going to act them out.
Oh, just big smile him out. Oh.
Just a big smiley face.
Oh.
A silly emoji.
I don't know what.
Yes, yes.
Oh, like a sideways face?
Like with the one eye blinking and the...
One eye blinking?
Yeah.
Oh, and then this one.
Oh, cross eyes.
Or, no, cross eyes.
Look at this.
I'm closing both of my eyes sticking tongue out laughing
uh emoji i guess they're laughing yeah and then these are all really similar
the tongue is out in three out of the four uh i don't know another one
anyway uh ghost runners will cure your pet'sad matt this is for you i've been an avid ghosty i know it's avid
since 2020 i just recently got a kid why is he saying avid what's this boy doing saying avid
i recently got a kitten named lou short for saint louis. What? Just kidding. I'm taking classes this summer,
so I'm still living in my college town, but I also go, you distracted me with that.
Oh, Esther's in the middle. Huh? What else to go home a lot since my parents only live 45 minutes
away since I've had Lou, she's been very anxious about car rides, meowing basically the whole time
and even pooping in her carrier. I was coming
back to Auburn after spending
the Fourth of July weekend with my parents and decided to listen
to Best Episode Ever since I had
already listed the episode released on the 4th.
Lo and behold, sweet Lou falls right asleep
to the sound of Jake and Brad's voices. It
honestly made me so happy. If you want a podcast
that's entertaining for humans,
that is as entertaining for humans as
it is calming for pets.
Ghost Runners is the pod for you.
Love you guys.
Madeline and Lou.
Aw.
Lou is a part of the review.
You can has review too, Lou.
You like that?
Say it again?
You can has review.
Scott, translation?
What's he saying to me?
You can has.
You can has review too.
Oh, I feel like. The horse's name was Mann was man. I feel like we were in high school. There was like
The first iteration of memes where I can has cheeseburger with with cats. I didn't really understand him either
Ten years ago that you didn't even understand at the time. That's the frustrated emoji.
You're talking about awkward.
I'm just like.
Yeah, that'd be a funny like, okay, she's perfect in every way.
But whenever she feels anxiety, she just hums the top of that theme song.
That's her one quirk.
Otherwise, she's completely normal. How do feel just sorry i got nervous there was a dave chapelle movie back today i don't remember the name of it but his character
movie whenever he would get scared he would hit people with a lamp it was pretty specific
anyone know that movie probably say people know that cat meme all right people know the cat people
are gonna be like of jake i can't believe you haven't heard of i can has cheeseburger never heard of that i promise i can't find anything
in my brain that leads me to a spot where i've seen that before i can has cheeseburger
guys like it's like it's like internet it's like it's like the numa numa of memes
internet 1.0 yeah my review of the week is another youtube comment because they're so good anna
hutchins said just wanted to hop on here
and talk about something that's been mentioned a lot on the pod.
I keep hearing things like
this is the best time to be a ghostie
or that y'all are hitting your stride. And those comments
are absolutely 100% true.
I think it's because Jake and Brad are both in such great places
of their lives and they're able to give us such hilarious
content that shows how joyful they really are.
So on behalf of myself, I'm sure all the the other ghosties we're so happy that you guys
are happy and thanks for being so happy because it makes the podcast amazing which makes us happy
and helps lou fall asleep anna hutchins from the boy lou i thought that was fun that was cool thank
you anna hutch it is so true like anytime anybody's like how's how's business how's uh youtube stuff
how's pot it's like everything is going really well.
Yeah.
Like we are very blessed and we are very fortunate. And we, yeah, we have no reason not to be, you know, like every time I'm on stage, like
pacing around, Lucas is performing and I'm about to go on.
I always pray.
I'm like, I can't believe I'm doing this.
That's how the prayer starts every time.
I can't believe this.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's just amazing.
Things are going good.
So I feel every day I walk into Dairy Farmers of America.
Yeah, I like to live my life fired up.
Why is he pacing in the lobby?
Just getting ready for work.
Doing the pacer.
Do you ever do the pacer back in the day?
Yeah, I was good.
Not great at it.
Guess how I did.
I bet you were sweaty for whatever class you had next totally totally did you dread pacer day or was like this is still fine no i didn't i mean i
dreaded pacer day i didn't hate it because i don't think i had like they weren't gonna be like
oh brad got out too early. Like Brad wasn't trying.
It's like I tried.
And yeah, I just I just did what I did.
I don't think I liked it just because it wasn't a sport.
I was like, I'd much rather just have basketball day or scooter day.
I dreaded scooter soccer day.
Dude, scooters.
My fingers still do that in school.
It's like those little scooter things.
Those things were so annoying.
Mr. Greenlee.
Mr. Greenlee.
Have Mr. Greenlee talk.
Well, I'll tell you, he did his own pacer audio.
Did you realize that?
Yeah, I think I did.
So every single time, like, it'd be like a beep.
It'd be like, one, beep, two.
And he was like trying to sound like he was like
working at a laser tag place or something.
Beep, three.
You know, whatever.
His exploits are legendary.
He was a nice guy. I liked him fine.
I liked him fine.
There was one very specific memory I have of Mr. Greenlead
that I was like, that was weird that he did this.
High shorts? No, Scott, please.
My podcast, my words.
I'm just kidding.
My podcast, my words.
That's true. There was one time he was like, guys, I have some high. Uh, my, my podcast, my words. Um, that's true. He, there was one time
he was like, guys, I have some high school guys that are going to be coming and helping me today.
Um, they owe me a favor. Don't, don't ask me why. Do not ask me why. Do not ask me why guys do not
ask me why. Like, and he was like, so overly emphatic about like, do not ask. It was like,
I don't think any second grader is going to be like, where are these guys owe you a it's probably i mean i'm i'm sure it's like a disciplinary thing like they got in
trouble so they had to do that weird though it was just like uh it was like one of those times
where somebody is trying to create drama when it's not there it's like yeah it's like hey whatever
you do don't comment you know about this and it's like yeah i was never going to like don't ask me
why do not ask you know and of course, then I'm like,
well,
what happened?
Now I'm curious.
Hey,
before we go into Gunner and Emily's,
do not bring up
the lake on Saturday.
Like,
what happened to the lake?
Oh,
don't see.
That's what I'm talking about.

What's going on, everybody?
Your wigs are looking a little sweaty.
That's weird.
My favorite thing Jake said right before we started this.
He was getting all sweaty.
He's like, I'm so hot in this thing.
And he goes, I was actually planning on returning it.
There's no chance, brother.
Not now.
Now I have an Elvis costume
that doesn't fit
for the rest of my life.
So jokes on you.
Oh, man, it's great.
Do we have,
is there any chance
that we could
make a quick wager?
We don't have to be,
we don't have to figure it out
right now,
but maybe we should be
thinking about this
for next week
that Jake would have to like,
the penalty would be
he has to wear
the Elvis costume
for like the next year or the next six weeks or something the next hour many episodes
yeah like like if i do a royals game no i'm talking about i'm talking about like one that's
hot i'm no i'm talking about like he wears it so long that people no longer even notice that he's
wearing the elvis costume like people don't even like think it's weird.
We'll think about it.
We'll get back to that.
Keep that in mind for the next March of Madness penalties.
Okay.
Here's a fun fact.
My neighbors across the street are like pretty creepy and weird.
That's,
