What up, y'all? Happy Monday. Jake and Brad here with the podcast again. We just got done kind of having a warm-up session, which we should do more. Rachel was here at her house. Crazy. Which is wild. But her parents FaceTimed her, and we were just kind of all chatting together, and they were giving us trivia questions. Brad was also having me prove myself to the future in-laws. Yeah, you're driving a, what was it, an 856? 856 this weekend.

Yeah. Which Jake had no idea what that was. And so we went ahead and embellished that for basically a warmup for us is just having a conversation where we're not super serious. Nice little improv exercise. But one of the things they were saying was their plan. So Rachel and I, our wedding is going to be in May. And I just kind of ran me on the phone tonight. Steve and Angie were like, hey, we're going to try to have puppies by the wedding date.

Which one is a funny, like, it's just expedite the process a little bit about like, we're going to try to have blank done by the way. You would think the blank would be something that's a part of the wedding or something, or like a part of like a house, like we're going to try the master bedroom done by the wedding. Yeah. I mean the photographer's book,

the videographer is good, but like Lila's not pregnant. We cannot get the babies out. The puppies are just staying there. So, I mean, we're walking her, you know,

we're, we're giving her a hot tub. Like, you know, all these different, I don't know. We're dolling her up. Yeah. All the things, whatever induces labor for dogs. I don't know. Oh, I was thinking just even like.

Oh, you're talking about like pregnancy. Finding a suitable mate. A suitor. Yeah. Cause that's the other funny part is like, we're going to try. We are going to try our best to have these puppies by May. Yeah. It's like, how far out do you have to plan this?

Like, are they just like, so what we're going to do, we're not going to let Lila in the house. Yeah. Until she comes back pregnant. You go out there, you find, you find somebody. My parents had a different deal, like an opposite deal for me for the first 25 years of my life. You come back home. You better not be pregnant.

You better not be. You understand me, boy. Uh-oh. Ooh, I think this tight beat means that it's going down with some random thoughts and white meat too. Midwest best friends eating fast food on repeat. So come along. Let's have some fun and go ahead.

Get on your feet because it's the Ghost Brothers Podcast. Everybody morning, we're taking ground. Ghost Brothers Podcast. Ghost Brothers Podcast. All right. I don't think I genuinely would have any idea how, like if you said, Brad, your life depends on it.

You have to be within three months of the right answer. I don't think I would have any idea how long it takes for a dog to have babies. Dog gestation. Yeah. Like you could say two months or you could say six months. And I would believe either of them. I don't think two months or you could say six months and i would believe either of them i don't think two months but like i'm gonna guess six five five i was gonna guess five you want to guess five together yeah let's get five together let's get five together let's

get together okay dog what do i look i've never had it like that is that gestation gestation is that the right word dog gestation period is really. Dang it, it's short. It's gonna be like eight weeks or something. 56 to 68, 58 to 68 days. Two months. Yeah. Good for dogs.

Wow. So Lila's got time. She doesn't really need to get busy until, you know, March. Unless we don't know what a gestation thing is. Lila, when you gestate, what's happening? Wow Lila, when you gestate, what's happening? Wow. Katherine, when you gestate, what's happening? Wait, in this, yeah, okay, eight or nine weeks it's looking like on here.

Interesting. Yeah, we had plenty of dogs growing up, but they all got ran over before they could get pregnant. So we never got to go through that process. Survival of the fittest, I guess. Yeah. Sheesh. We had a cat get pregnant one time which makes sense the cat showed up yeah at the house right anyway yeah um and that was kind of

wild you know for being still a mammal they still burr them out in like these little sacks which were kind of egg-like what what you mean like they come out in a sack they come out like a thin sack how do you they open them themselves i think the mama like ziplock resealable but like the kind of like you have to pinch or it's just like a it's a zipper yeah it's a nice clean seal what i think the mom the mother the former gestator will uh like bite them open bite them like welcome to the world careful bit your sack and your sack's been bit huh sack bite really i don't know were you did you were like did you remember seeing them come out i yes i remember seeing them when they first were birthed and i was like girl i don't like that yeah i don't know what a pheasant

i'm moving to the city someday i'm gonna live in shawnee yeah i don't need this but then i remember like even like probably which I don't even know why I throw this out there. None of this is going to be right, but I'll just keep it. But then for the next week or so, they don't even open their eyes, which is interesting too.

For a mammal. Then it seemed like, hey, we're all the same. Humans open their eyes. Are they just chilling on the floor? Or are they like aimlessly walking around trying to figure out, you know, like a Roomba?

Yeah, it's like a sea turtle just spread out. It's like, I hope they find the ocean. I don't know where they're going. Yeah, no, I think they're in a cardboard box in your garage. That's where they're at. Always a cardboard box? You have to.

Yeah, yeah. That's kind of policy. Yeah, there's no plastic not involved. Out of the country. Who knew all this was going to happen? Kittens being born. Not anything, not any specific search, but just like, and we're going actually we're gonna do

it sacks i just completely make that up all kittens are born in a thin membrane birthing sack yes i am proud of myself for knowing that which your cat should remove as soon as her baby has arrived arrived as soon as amazon drops it off bite that sack open dude this if she does not do this you will need to gently tear open the sack do not use a sharp object it's fragile what so your incisors should suffice you have incisors no i'm just kidding it's said to use your hands um this wow i i'm i'm like torn on if i should talk about this should i talk about it about it? I don't care. What does Catherine want? We're going to pause real quick and then I'm going to tell Jake.

And then it's going to come back one way or the other. Are you ready? All right. We talked. I gave Brad the green light. Okay. So essentially the other day I was talking with a group of guys. And yeah, like somebody was like talking

about little people basically. Sure. And, uh, like kind of just like, you know, whatever, poking fun a little bit, blah, blah, blah. And then, uh, one guy's like, no dude, little people are amazing. I have like eight or nine friends that are little people. You guys should totally get one. I just laughed. Like, kind of like we were saying, like once the cat arrives. Yeah. Like, yeah. What do you mean? Get one.

Where do I go? They don't arrive in a birthing sack. Yeah. Amazon Prime for little guys. I don't know. Like, I mean, Austin Powers found one. We both know Jeremy Roller, right? Don't you know him as well?

No. Dang it. Oh, Jeremy Roloff. Dang it. Who's Jeremy Roller? I don't know. I think it's a guy from strafford i definitely don't know him oh he bit some sacks i'll tell you that right now

dang it this is a disaster uh yes roloff roloff um so there's our foot in the door oh wait you still don't know him no no okay okay but i'll use his foot to get in the door um yeah no anyway just you should get one. I don't know the idea of that. Like the idea of saying that about anybody, like any human. Oh, dude. Yeah. Oh, I have a tall friend.

You should get one. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I have a Mormon. I have a Mormon friend. You guys should get one. You guys got to get one for the holidays. Like having a time frame around it. Oh, for Black Friday.

You guys should rent one. Yeah. You should get a mom. Dude, I have a great mom for you i'll give you a reference you should get one for christmas it's so nice having one oh my gosh anyway it's just like and he was like this guy was like just fervently like you know just advocating like everyone's laughing he's like no seriously you guys should get one you guys should get one it's like okay where like how do i what's best practice on that it's funny you bring this up because about a week ago i had the thought too of kind of like i'll just say what i thought it was like where

are they getting these guys where are they finding these guys because a lot of influencers are like happen to be friends with little people and i feel like i so rarely see little people correct dwarfs you know anything in that realm that i i just assume they make up a point zero zero one percent of the population Yet when you look at a lot of influencers, like a lot of them have at least one in their crew. It's like, is this part of like your brand? Is this like purposeful? Is this like having like, well, I don't know any black people, so I can just get a little. I will say this guy works with a guy who's what you could argue. He's an influencer. So maybe he just thinks it's that easy there's something because he knows you can get one i don't know yeah i just i just had that thought because yeah there's a guy

named ross that uh i'm friends with and he um he makes maybe we've seen him he uh he really blew up with his grandma his grandma did a lot of like um some of it was trick shot stuff other stuff it was just like um grandma like cat calling women in bikinis on the beach. It's like this really like old, old lady. That was his brand. And anyway, as I think grandma's health starts to decline, now he's kind of pivoted to like this little person. If I don't have elderly, I'm going for the little people.

Yeah. Love it. And then there's other YouTubers I know. It feels like there's always a little person in a crew. Nate Bargetzi has a, yeah. His friend, what's his name? I can't remember that guy. The other comedian.

Yeah. Anyway. Danny Duncan, if you guys know that YouTuber, he's always got one or two. Really? Yeah. Okay. We should get one. Let's get one.

Yeah. Okay. Anyway. Okay. We're doing good. Everything's good. We've got a big, busy week we've had. I kind of calculated it out and I think Jake is in the same boat ever

since I got back from South Dakota. Jake's not in that boat. Yeah, true. Yeah. I got back Monday from South Dakota, then Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, five days, five nights in a row. We were out of our house doing something. And even yesterday I had a friend's giving. Yeah. You were busy even yesterday. I was like, I'm not, I'm not worried about that. What's been on yesterday is, yeah, we got an invite to go to kind of a friend's giving thing and i texted rachel shout out calvin he's a listener yeah yeah of course yeah um and i texted rachel i was like hey uh do you want to go to this i know we each have like a ton to do tomorrow it's like what are your thoughts and she was like i i know we have a lot to do but i still really want to go let's just eat and we

could be like the first ones to leave oh and i was like okay yeah totally we should absolutely that always happens it always happens so yeah we eat and i'll just skip to the end we would be last people to leave we can't help it oh yeah we love talking to people it's so hard katherine and i will be like okay we're leaving by eight o'clock tonight we're leaving by eight o'clock we can be home by 8 50 like and it's yeah come 9 30 it's like ah i know i'm sorry you know it was just it was too fun and yeah yeah i did still have a lot to do that didn't go away i went to bed at 4 30 woke up at 7 um grinding but yeah which we can get into what we did today i think more later real quick on the friendsgiving thing right i'm inspired

tell me uh i think you're gonna like this too you kind of the integrated group which is awesome i've done stuff like that too i think there's enough people in kansas city and already in our friend group to do something like that here in kansas city like quarterly or something like think about me and you business owners like will severance calvin beck arthur beck do you know him very well okay he's taking over he's gonna be like managing a new coffee shop uh seven brew is coming to kansas city he's gonna be managing that um there's like peter yeah sure like even if we're not in the same industry just like isaac oh yeah totally yeah like so much we could do just getting together as guys totally now um we could do it at calvin's lake house right calvin right come hey it'll be fine it'll be fine and um just a meeting of the minds and

just like poking holes in each other's like yeah businesses or their goals everyone's sharing what they want to do everyone's sharing marketing strategies like yeah different industries but there's no way we wouldn't help each other oh yeah absolutely anytime you meet with another person that's even somewhat like any anytime you meet with somebody else who's doing business things like owning their own business like you like you just feel a connection to them. Like that's how I feel every time I've ever hung out with Calvin is just like, dude, you get it. Like you get it in a way that other people just don't. Like, it's just nice and like refreshing to talk to other people who are going through that. I felt so inspired yesterday. I talked to Calvin

for a long time, talked to Arthur for a long time. We went around the room and they said, Hey, everyone just introduce yourself. Some people who may not know each other say your name and what you're thankful for a lot of people got pretty serious pretty deep i said i'm thankful for arthur because i've enjoyed our last 15 minutes chatting together yeah it was great sweet do we want to talk about maybe why we are more inspired to work on business nah yeah okay yeah yeah nah yes dude we've been teasing this for a while and a lot of people i think are kind of curious like what is it someone had a theory did you see i think it was a facebook comment it was like all right podcast network starting a podcast network yeah yeah you could not be more

wrong it is the opposite yeah well i mean i don't know if it's the opposite but it's the opposite direction okay yeah go ahead should we keep like teasing it off what do you guys think we'll announce it at 55 minutes of the podcast. No. Um, I really thought about this. How do I do this? Basically? I don't know.

Do you want to take it away? Let's go. Let's go chronologically. Do you want to, do you want to like give the backstory at all or just go into it? Sure. The week I proposed to Rachel, um, I was like, let's make this the biggest week of my life. I basically had a conversation with Trey and I was very transparent with him. And I always like to be very honest and transparent with the ghosties.

Right. I said, Hey, I'm feeling very spread thin with everything going on. Seven things, I think. Is that right? Yeah. I mean, it would be like mood swings, correct opinions. Girls go mild. Jeans shorts.

Trey's channel. Jeans shorts. Mood swing. Oh, no. I said jean shorts, didn't I? Did you? I don't know if you did. All right.

Let's start again. It's your podcast. Mood swings. Okay. opinions ghost runners jean shorts by subscribers trey kennedy jean shorts barely underneath um girls got mild mood swings so six six plus you're engaged so seven sounds 12 12 sounds better 12 sounds better i was like i'm just feeling a little like spread thin and i think it's just i mean just mathematically right i mean if i spent if i had less things to do i could spend more time on it it just seems very logical and so i was like with that in mind um i was like for one i want to step away from being like your like writer editor videographer for the Trey Kennedy,

like YouTube and Facebook, Instagram brand. That's not effective immediately. I'm still gonna stick around for as long as Trey needs. I told him, I was like, dude, I'm not gonna leave you, you know, hang in, I'm not gonna hang you dry. Like, you know, I will stick around until you find the perfect fit and I'll be here to teach them and coach them up. I was like, and then that same conversation,

I also said, I think something with jean shorts needs to change. I think we're just only committing like a few hours a week to it. And it wasn't that long ago on the Jake and Josh channel when I was doing YouTube in Dallas, like I know what it's like to have over 100,000 YouTube subscribers. And back in the day, I mean, it was all we did. We eat, sleep, breathe our YouTube channel. That was all we thought about. And it was kind of fun to feel that ownership and to feel that motivation to work so hard on a YouTube channel. And I was like, I either want to like go way more in on jean shorts or maybe step away and just focus more on ghost runners or something.

Anyway, so that led to more conversations. Yeah. And like the week either right after you talked to Trey or right before was when we hung out at the library. I think we've talked about that a few times on the podcast. Oh yeah. Like big Monday. Big Monday.

It was the day we bought the ring. Yeah. It was a huge Monday. It really was. It was like the ring. Like, yeah, I think, I think we were like, initially I think both of us would agree. We were like, let's just go all in on ghost, or not all in, but you know, like let's put more and more and more of our attention on ghost runners, make this bigger and bigger. And like, how can we figure that out? And then the process,

I think you or me, I don't remember. So one of us said, uh, you know, well, if, if you and I did jean shorts, like by ourselves, like if we own this thing, would we be more motivated to keep going, like doing it harder? And like, and the other one was like, yeah, I would. Yeah.

And so then we had all these discussions with Trey, long story short. I mean, we negotiated back and forth, back and forth. We are the owners of Jean Schwartz comedy, sole owners, Jake and Brad.

Yeah. It's ours. It's ours. And so we're so excited. We're so excited. We are so pumped. And I think because of that, I think that just means we're going to put out more content. Hopefully a lot of it is going to be similar to what we've done, but a lot of it's also going to, we'll see.

I mean, strategy is still like, whatever. December is such an interesting, huge month for YouTube ad sense. Like the money that you get paid for all your videos just skyrockets because I think so many companies are wanting to advertise for, you know, the holidays. You'll make like, like an almost double what you can make in December. And so on one hand, I think Jake and I are like really trying to be like strategic about like, okay, how, what kind of videos do we want to do? Like, cause we've talked about doing longer videos and more like podcasts, vloggy kind of like 10 minute long things like we've done before but it's like in december we just got to

throw a bunch of stuff out there because we can't just like be like well let's see what we can do and do one really good video in december it's like no we got a harvest is plentiful right now right but the days are few yeah and so it's like okay yeah december like yeah throw it all out there and then january let's regroup and really get going on it and really get strategic about everything. So, but I think, and we really need your help and support in this because the long form is what they call them, like the longer 10 minute long videos haven't performed as well so far.

But we know that like, you know, the Ghostrunners community out there loves long form stuff from us, obviously. So listen to this podcast. So yeah, we want to, we're curious what that would look like on YouTube. Yeah. And so obviously it wouldn't just be like us talking necessarily for 10 minutes. It would be like some kind of a, we'd have a point behind it. But anyway, we're really, really excited about the whole thing. I mean, yeah, Jake and I are just so pumped in so many different ways. It's going to allow, I mean, I'm still going to be doing woodworking, uh, Ellis custom creations. Jake's still going to be doing correct mood swings, correct. You know,

all these different things. But I think the majority of our time is now going to be spent together, which is so fun. And we're just going to be able to really put a lot more of our effort and energy into ghost runners to jean shorts, hopefully take jean shorts and push people towards ghost runners with jean shorts, which we were never able to do before. Cause it was like, well, I don't want to step on Trey's toes too much and like hey guys we have a podcast you know but jake or trey has a similar one you know um so anyway it's just all gold we're really excited about it um we'd love to hear your guys's thoughts and ideas yes if you guys saw our video that we posted a few days ago on thanksgiving that was the first video uh that brad and i shot

together so that was in this house that was in the promise house yep we shot it for each other rachel even shot some of it i edited it let me know what you think of the camera work on jake yeah be honest i need i need it we need it i need it um and so obviously we have no idea how it's performing or whatever but it's just fun that we're starting this yes and we really really i can't say enough like how much we appreciate your support on the whole thing. Ghosties are so good at commenting. Ghosties are so good at supporting us in so many ways.

And YouTube is so interesting because you can't like reshare like you can, like you can't post it to your story. Like you can Instagram and Tik TOK. Well, Instagram, um, you just got to make a good video. You got to make a good video.

And yeah, word of mouth's huge. So just the more that you guys can tell people about it, we really appreciate it. But, um, we are so pumped about it. I'm excited i think yeah it's just fun it's been really fun to have a partner you know in this thing you know the whole process like i texted

jake one night i was just like dude whatever happens i've just really enjoyed this week like being able to like like i've we called we've called each other on the phone like five times you know it's voice memos weeks and yeah not necessarily like stressed but just like very mentally just like overcome by just like thoughts and ideas yeah it's like we need to make sure we know what we're thinking here like yeah what are we worth about every little aspect of this because what we were negotiating was basically our livelihoods for the rest of our lives yeah it's like how much do we believe in ourselves how much right if we were to start over how much do we believe in the? How much, right. If we were to start over, how much do we believe in the ghosties?

Yeah. Cause we had that thought. We're like, maybe we just need to start over. Maybe it's going to be too expensive. Yeah. Oh yeah. It was awesome.

I I've, I've enjoyed the process so far and I'm really excited about the next stage of this. And, um, so yeah. Yeah. Anyway,

it's good times. We filmed two videos today and millions more to come. So anyway, good stuff. Good stuff. Um, I had a few people in my house this week. Uh, heater went out in the Aletha house. Yeah. Had a guy come in.

Uh, he just long story short, basically he called me at noon. It was like, Hey, I'll be there in 10 minutes. I was like, Oh my gosh. Yeah. I was with you. Oh yeah. I was like, I'm not, I'm not there right now. Uh, I didn't know you

were coming you know this is the first heads up i've gotten so can you just come back later it's like oh yeah no problem i'll put you at the back of the queue and we'll get to you by the end of the day turns out the end of the day was 10 15 at night or something like that you said like you're like yeah they said that they'll service people until however super late or something like yeah and i was like i mean maybe jake would like that. I think he called it like 945 and then was over in like 15 or 30 minutes. Like, was it cold in your house? It was getting chilly. Yeah.

Well, yeah. He asked like what the thermostat was. And I was like, it's set to like 70 something, but it's at 61 right now. And he's like, oh, you go in the emergency category. I was like, really? Okay. Cool. Good to know.

Anyway, just a couple, just quick things from him that I thought you would appreciate. So he gets done working on it. He's coming back upstairs. I'm sitting there. I'm like, hey, how are you looking? And he goes, like the Royals bullpen, I bring the heat. Oh, I like that. It's like CSI Miami or something.

Like the Royals bullpen, I bring the heat. So I don't know. Here's our options. Do you think he has about 10 different like catchphrases that he rotates through or do you think he's like um that's just the only one he ever says i think i hope he has 10 right like he needs to have 10 because there's some other great ones like you could go the spicy route like that hot lebron james in 2006 no no no lebron james what it would have been in 2012.

I'm leaving the heat. Leaving the heat behind. Okay. Whatever year it would have been. I don't know the NBA. Like a Serrano pepper straight from Mexico. It's about to get hot. It's about to get hot up in your mouth.

If you leave your mouth open and breathe in the air. As Nellie once said. It's getting hot in here. Shake your tail feather. So go ahead and shake your tail feather. Hot. Heat. Temperature. Sean Paul once said,

I got the right temperature. And now you do too. How did he say it? Hold on Burn you up And girl I Want to be the pop star You can be the mom Uh oh Um So I'll go ahead And bill you electronically

For that And we'll go from there Let me know if you have Any questions He says all that Anyway you should get An email Anyway I think you get

The picture I'll go ahead You have a good night So what time do you get Done at your house He was there like probably just short of 11 p.m oh pretty quick yeah it wasn't bad and um this is gonna sound maybe a little mean but my roommates because i kept giving my roommates updates i was like hey guys sorry that the heater is broken um which i texted probably four different times throughout like 24 hours like sorry the heat's

broken i'm getting someone out there. Okay, they're coming here. Hey, got it fixed. Never got a text back. I don't even know if my roommates ever noticed the heat was off. Like, I don't know if anyone, everyone's like, what? It seems fine. But the only time they ever replied, Isaac said, what was wrong with it? And I said, this is going to sound mean, but the guy had a mask on and had a lisp.

And so I truly don't know. I couldn't understand him. Yeah, that had a lisp. And so I truly don't know. I couldn't understand him. Yeah. That's a double trouble. Yeah. I don't know what was wrong, but it's fixed now. Um,

and he did leave me with another one liner. He picked up his tool kit and he said, I'm going to take my toys to another playground. So he was just walking away. You got a friend in me. Hi, ho. Hi, ho. Dude, the mask, so and then you're just walking away you got a friend in me hi ho hi ho dude the mask the mask is is real as far as like like i didn't i didn't realize how much i relied on watching people's mouths until masks i have a theory that i was deaf as a kid i think i

might be deaf yeah i might i think i still am a little bit like i probably am getting part of hearing and it's like yeah is like even at that wedding dude i struggled i struggled like what part what part of the wedding yeah oh just like the reception oh yeah okay like i would have to like put my ear down and just listen to him them or like or just like really stare at them if you were talking to a little person same thing you'd have to crouch way down i get on on all fours. Okay. All right. We're going to do this. Right. Yeah.

It was Sean Paul. It was, wasn't it? It was good, huh? Shake that thing. Man, the wedding was awesome. Really a week of wedding festivities. Eh, three days. Fun times.

Fun though. It was for Harrison and Abby. Wonderful people. Great time. We went to pickleball on Thursday. Found out that Abby's dad listens to the podcast. Yeah. I was talking to him for like a good three minutes.

And then he's like, yeah, this is the podcast. I know everything about you. You know, I know about the promise house. I know. I know Scott loves Top Gun. I'm like, all right. He really does. That reminded me.

He was a funny dude at the um he had a great eastern texas accent at the rehearsal dinner it kind of became an ongoing joke at the table i was sitting at that i i kept getting mentioned in other people's speeches i had been mentioned like four or five times everyone's like dude this is a big weekend for you i was like i know we're very excited tomorrow's a huge day for me because people just they kept being different stories or ways that i well you and Harrison were roommates. You worked with Abby at Kennecock. Yeah.

And then Abby's roommates with Rachel. Sure. It was wasn't even those. It was mainly just the men that were giving speeches. And I feel like I was like, are you going out of your way to mention me now? But anyway, so that was already kind of this funny thing that was making us giggle every time I'd get mentioned. I was like, dude. But when Abby's dad kind of closed out the night with his speech not only did he mention me but he mentioned rachel

in his speech okay i can you know we got a sporty good times with many guests uh rachel coop even and everyone like i think it was so caught off guard they're like oh yeah like there had been an applause in the entire speech and so it was a big night for us that's amazing and i yeah i loved abby's dad he was um yeah because he's a podcast listener he really knows all of us he knows rachel i guess at one point in the weekend he tried to go up to rachel and like make a joke oh this is during the rehearsal he was like you know uh tomorrow at the wedding you're serving potatoes and rachel was just kind of like oh nice i love potatoes like what kind and he was like ah i screwed up the joke ah i meant to say corn so i was they told me that later and so i was trying to i was like well you knew it was a state that started with an i that primarily

farms one crop and you just got those just stretching it so far yeah yeah yeah that was so funny so then rachel and i kept doing that and they did serve potatoes at the wedding so i think rachel went back and i was like you were right those potatoes were the wedding food one of the best weddings i've ever been to food wise yeah good job abby good job liz honestly did you have the vegetables you go veggies rachel has not shut up about the vegetables since then i would i would transport those things up to i Iowa if I were you guys for your wedding. Rachel was very adamant about that. It was like,

we're having these vegetables. The greatest zucchini I've ever had. And, and like we were, we were table 14. I don't want to talk about it too much. You ate. So late.

Yeah. Emily, as we were going up there, so Emily Duckworth's bridesmaid, she was in the wedding. We're in a line. She goes, you guys haven't eaten yet.

I was like, okay. Like we're, what are we supposed to do? Yeah. Um, so it did take a line. She goes you guys haven't eaten yet. I was like, okay like we're what are we supposed to do? Yeah It did take a while And by the time I realized how good the zucchini was I literally looked up and they were like clearing everything No more Zouk no more zucchini and I think about it every day. I mean it was amazing. Yeah, Rachel loved those vegetables It was great food and it was fun being at a wedding when you have a wedding to plan I bet dude got get a lot of notes. Well, because I bet as a, as a girl, Rachel takes

notes every time as a guy, you're just, you're never thinking that. Yeah. A hundred percent. Yeah, dude. I, I, yeah, I would love to hear your notes. I, one note that I had while I was sitting in, you know, at the wedding was I could never be a wedding photographer because those people are so good at like being upfront and in front of like, like being in the way basically. But like at the same time, like somehow like being quiet about it, I would, I would be terrible at that. You know what I mean? Like I would, I would actually hit somebody like a trip on somebody or like, you know, whatever. Sorry about that. Sorry about that. You about that. They're invisible, but you see them and you don't mind or something.

I don't know. And I could never. And you've done it before. It was hard for me. I was always big on like, I'm going to rent a zoom lens for the ceremony. So I don't have to be in the way. Because there's ways around this. Just get a longer lens.

You don't have to be in everyone's way. That was my solution. That's not bad. Just watching them, I was like, I do not like this yeah yeah uh but yeah great wedding i i had different oh i know something i was gonna say about the wedding the um my mom which i've joked before that i feel like my mom has uh like extra internet access yes she can find things online like when she googled the tick thing and they're like i've never really found art yeah you might be allergic to pop tarts too yeah i can google exactly what she told me she found and i still can't find it so this it just is already in her character

uh when rachel and i like we found a venue we set a date the wedding is going to be in iowa the wedding is going to be in like northeast iowa in a small town and and but not even in rachel's hometown or necessarily a neighboring town just like a random small town in iowa okay i told my mom the venue we chose and she was like oh yeah i saw that one i was like hold on that was one of the five i had picked out for you too yeah like oh yeah you're just scouring like like just iowa venues did you search like central iowa Northeast? How did you, I haven't really got to talk to you about it, but I mean, that's just a testament to like how much parents love their kids. Oh, I think it's an awesome quality. I just thought it was so funny.

And like, why am I even shocked? Yeah, exactly. Like I already knew this because you know, it wasn't the first four that she looked at, you know, but she, she went down the rabbit hole a little bit cause she loves her son and she's so excited. You know, like, yeah, I can't wait for those days to be like, Oh, let's go. You know, whatever my kids are into, I can't wait to just like get into it with them. You know? Um, and I definitely see some of those qualities in myself of like, I'm pretty heavy on the research going into things. Like that's your mom. That's your mom and you. Yeah. That's awesome. Yeah. My mom's definitely that way too. My dad, I mean, he can research things. He's a big reader, but when it comes to like computers and stuff, yeah, my mom is so much better at them. Totally. Anyway, that's, that's funny.

Well, Preston listens to the podcast, preston it was amazing wedding but i do have some beef with the um wedding band wait preston listens to the podcast isn't his name that's abby's brother no that's peyton peyton peyton peyton yeah starts with a p ends with an n has a t in the middle very similar names sorry preston this is the podcast peyton, maybe. Who knows? Hey, Peyton.

Gig him up. Gig him up, Peyton. And no, but the wedding band was so, so, so good. And the drummer. The drummer is a fan of ours, Gene Schwartz, which everyone needs to be a fan of ours, please. Our livelihoods depend on it now. Please, please, please, please.

It's no longer a hobby. It is our livelihoods. No, but yeah, the band was so good but they never did a song just straight up and the musician in me was like this is a really good song and i just want to listen to you sing it like they would sing i want to dance with somebody and it was going great it was going great and then all of a sudden, like, it's the same chords. Dance with somebody. Yeah. 24 karat magic in the air. Yeah. It's like, yeah, it's like, yeah, I don't even know.

Yeah, I'd do it very well without the music. But it's like, yeah, it's the same exact chords, but they sing Don't Stop Believin' instead. Oh, I want to dance with somebody. I want to feel the heat. You know, whatever. With somebody who loves me. And it's like, streetlights, people.

Oh, I want to dance with somebody. And I'm like, and every once in a while it was cool. But I told, I think I told Jake. I was like, you know, they played Mr. Brightside. And Mr. Brightside's a very fun, just bro like frat bro like jumping up and down jealousy or new zealand countryside or a couple times in a row um you know but like i think there's three choruses in that song you know so so as as the first chorus singer you're like all right i'm gonna save something like, like jealousy.

Yeah. You know? And then all of a sudden that was the only, I, maybe they played it twice, but then they went to a different song that had the same chords. I was going to go hard. It was like, that's a cool mashup. But you know, I mean, that's my whole thing with being a DJ in general is like, if the song is not good enough to play all the way through, then don't play it.

I know. We disagree on that. I know we do. I know we do. I like the mashup. I like it. I know. And I don't, I don't hate it. Like as a concept, I think I do not like it for the wedding venue because, because there's like, there's ups, there's peaks and valleys to songs and that's the

beauty of them. And so there were a few times where I was like, I would have loved to just listen to this song because the band was so good. Like the lead singer and guitar player, he was, he played you to both and he was so good at both of them and anyway really really good band preston i'm sure he paid great money for them we really enjoyed it but if i had one complaint it was that sometimes they played a song that i really liked but they only played half of it before they like and and then the chords were never like perfectly the same chord right like oh get out of town no they weren't they weren't no one no one yes no i'm saying no one else is like noticing you're like caring about this oh man there's

just a little little something no i don't doubt that you are correct but you don't think other people noticed not most people other musical people maybe yeah maybe so anyway yeah wonderful time harrison and abby were both just cloud nine i mean, you know, Harrison's just a fun guy anyway. He's always got a little pop in his step, but he was just bouncing around. Pep in his step? I think he's pop. You got pop in his step.

Pep in his step is definitely, but I think he's kind of poppy. He's kind of. Okay. He's got both. It was fun. I had a good time with the band. I had a really good time using the dance props

to make other things with. Every time I looked at you, you were doing something different. You know, everyone, yeah, they had those had those like glowing yeah they're like glow stick like probably 24 inch like fluorescent or luminescent styrofoam uh sticks sticks with rumble looking sticks lights in them yeah and sometimes i'll see jake like put them in his pants so they're just got you were like using them like drumsticks another time i looked at her and you're using it like i really enjoyed the violin yeah at one point did you see me join the band so i used three of them and i i made a guitar out of it and then it's

got it there next to the bassist and i was just like no way yeah yeah like like on stage yeah rachel has a video of it no way it was fun i didn't even know we had a fan you know three feet away from me because when the drummer introduced himself was like, I saw you goofing off over there. And I was like, this guy looks familiar. Like, oh, that's fun. That our fans could see that in real life. Like he's really a fun guy. Yeah.

Oh yeah. That was so good. Do you think Catherine gets embarrassed of you at weddings? Cause I think Rachel gets embarrassed of the way I dance and I got to find some middle ground. I don't, that's a question for her. I don't, I don't know if the word is embarrassed, but I think she sometimes feels like, and I didn't, I wasn't really that crazy this time because I never got into a song for more than one and a

half minutes. Um, but like a lot of times in weddings I go so hard that like, she's like, I can't keep up with this. Like, like I can't match that energy. Like that's not me. I'm not going to do that. You know? So I, I don't know if it's embarrassment as much as it's just like hey i i wish i wish you would kind of just dance with me you know um so that's probably a good way of describing it but usually it's like katherine used to be like i always take pictures with you at the beginning of the night because i know if i don't then you're gonna be all sweaty soaked yeah um so no i i don't know that's a question for her but oh it's okay you think she was a little bit like i think just i come from canicuck where it's like just be the goofiest

dancer possible and it's still in my system yeah i think rachel hasn't seen that culture she doesn't you know i've never been around yeah like that and i think the thing about you and me and probably a lot of us like a lot of us there are like we don't have like you and i were both like on the outskirts the whole time it wasn't like we were like in the middle exactly it was like i the only reason i saw you a few times like i probably could have watched you the whole time and been entertained but i just don't ever watch anybody else while i'm out there just doing my thing i'm just doing my thing you know i don't care what anybody thinks of me and that's always my thing is i never repeat a dance move. So it's like, can I go two hours just switching it up constantly?

And Rachel's just like, I can't. Whoa, that's a new one. No, anyway. Yeah, it was awesome. It was a great time. So I have a few other fun things. Nothing as fun as that wedding, Preston. It was amazing.

Best food I've ever had. Best food. We got a new heated blanket at our house and it's amazing. It's like a Tempur-Pedic style where it's like zoned. So Brad has his side. Catherine has her side. Tempur-Pedic blank. Yeah.

You know what I mean? Like it's like half and half. Got it. And so, I mean, I'm up. I'm keeping on all night. I'm on six. I love it. Yeah.

And she's like, Brad, you could die from that thing. You're going to incinerate. Yeah. She's like,'s like no my aunt like she like charred her feet one time and i was like i don't i don't think that's gonna happen michael cooked his foot i think it was on an electric yeah that's a foreman girl rachel uh so yeah i got rachel a heated blanket last winter and i've told you guys about how cold rachel's all the time I've got Rachel an engagement ring and her favorite gift for me is still the heated blanket I think I think that would be number one because it warms her in more than one way the engagement ring would be number two oh yeah this one has like a little like it's like it's a control like remote control almost but it's like connected and we have it on the top of our bed and you can even do something

called pre-heat where it just you know heats it up for an hour and a half, just max heat. So you get in and it's just like so warm and cozy. Yeah. It's not as hot as you think. It's not as hot as you think, but it feels nice. Um, so anyway, that just, just want to say thank you. It was Catherine. Catherine pulled the trigger when I was in South Dakota. So, um, but I was very happy about it when I got home. Uh, another thing on the same level, kind of, you know, you say the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. You've always said that. Yeah. And my son,

Bo has taken up a lot of characteristics of mine, but the most recent one, the one I might be most proud of in my entire life is he started sleeping with a snow hat on completely up to him. He, he, for whatever reason, he loves his winter gear gear like the other day

it snowed on monday i think it was and he came out in the living room with like his you know his beanie on his his coat on his boots on he's like i'm going to snow i need my shovel you know he's like i need my shovel and we're like all right buddy let's get your mittens out you know whatever that's awesome um yeah dad's a hunter now exactly he asked me did i say this on the podcast last week where he was like, dad, can I go hunt with you next time? Like, Oh, so sweet. Um, anyway, but he's so into it and he loves this hat, like loves it. And so he's like, can I sleep with my snow hat on, you know, for a nap one time? I was like, sure. I'm not going to say better. You learn now. Yeah. And he has done it for the last four nights now. I think. Wow. So proud of him. Yeah.

That's awesome. I bet. So if you think it's weird, at least kids are also weird with me. At least it's genetic. I haven't done it yet this year, maybe because of the heated blanket, but I'm doing all right. Blanket's not going up top though. Not up top. That's fun, dude. I think I would hold so tightly to any like quirky thing that seems to be passed down for me i would i would

be in love with anything like that oh yeah so cool oh yeah and it's like every once in a while i can't think of examples now like yeah there's also little things that they do it's just like there's no way you didn't get that from katherine like there's no way the way you said that was just like me you know it's always just like wild it's like okay we are really affecting these kids so let's be careful here this isn't a huge deal or anything super like wildly un you know statistically nuts but i there's a home video of uh me when i was a kid you know and my dad is like taking a nap on the couch and he's got like his legs crossed and his arms behind his head sleeping like this and then in the same shot so it goes from like my dad doing that and then into my bedroom and i'm like sleeping the exact same way as like a five-year-old it's like that's amazing

yeah you know just like weird things yeah truly can be passed down yeah and it's like did you learn that or is that like just this natural like is that part is somewhere in the sleeping position part of the dna it's wild who knows i think so there's all sorts of weird stuff like i'm sure every family has this like i guess that gets passed down my dad which is he's not known he's known for a few things sense of humor salesmanship um mile time i'm just kidding one of the things he's not known for would be probably his flexibility okay yet oftentimes you will see him if you happen to be riding in a car with him driving right here normal left foot is like at where the steering wheel is yeah i've heard you say this he finds it very comfortable and another weird thing is that his sister angie yeah also does it you know

when you're passing angie and strafford because her foot is out the door yeah yeah in the summertime and i didn't get it but my sister often finds herself driving away with her left foot high up on the steering wheel like i don't think that was learned i think that i don't think you could pay me enough money to do that i know i mean even just doing that right there was like yeah no thank you oh wow so maybe your dad is flexible and you still realize actually yeah he probably is yeah i mean if that's all it takes though to be flexible i would do it like i would i would struggle for two months and then i'd get used to it can you imagine i'm just in this like big burly truck and just have my leg up there

you're sitting crisscross applesauce high up or you have both legs around the steering you just steer with your legs yeah that's awesome anyway yeah those things oh and then i have a few other little things. Um, we went operation Christmas child. We've talked, well, I don't know if we talked about here, but everyone, a lot of people know what it is. Um, me and the kids went on Saturday to, uh, like shop for it. And it was so sweet hearing Hattie explained to Bo what it was. Oh, cool. And like, she used the, she used the term. She's like, she's like, cause I, you know, we, we get to the parking lot, you know, of the store and I'm like, Hey, let's talk about what we're

doing here. Like, Hattie, do you remember what it is? And she kind of explained it. She's like, Bo, do you know what she calls it? Operation Christmas. Do you know what Operation Christmas is? And, uh, he's like, no, no. And I don't know. And the, she used the word, like we get these, uh, we get these things for kids who aren't as lucky as us. And for whatever reason, that like really touched me. Like hearing her say that I'm like, wow. Yeah.

Like she realizes that she's blessed and you know, she realizes that it, not everyone has the fortunate, you know, things that she has. And how does she again? Five. Yeah. So it's like, yeah. And it was like really sweet like we my aunt gives us money every year for like she gives each like grandchild twenty dollars and so like uh or maybe it's ten whatever whatever it is you know that paid for like one shoe box for

hattie but we're like hattie do you want to you know spend more of your own money for one of these and she's like yeah i do and so like we did two shoe boxes for a girl you know, spend more of your own money for one of these? And she's like, yeah, I do. And so like we did two shoe boxes for a girl, you know, and two shoe boxes for a boy. And it was like, it was awesome. It was just a really sweet moment. And then they were doing such a good job. And maybe this is a bad parenting move on my part, but like they were doing so good, like behaving so well that I was like, all right, since we've done a really good job of being generous for other people, you guys each get to pick out one thing for yourself you know and i don't know if that's the right move or not promote yeah but it was generosity for the wrong reasons yeah because you could tell like you could watch them be like oh this would be really cool we should give it to this person you know like and it was like okay you're sweet you know

then all of a sudden you know i'm so then so bo gets this bat. Hattie gets, I don't even know what, some, I don't know, some sticky thing, whatever. And Bo plays with the Batman thing at home for like, you know, an hour. And they were packing up the shoe boxes. And Catherine's like, Bo, do you want to keep the Batman or do you want to give it to the little boy? I want to give it to the little boy. And I was like, oh, melt my heart. So it was like such a fun. Put the snow cap on.

You earned it. Get your snow hat is what he calls it. Put the snow cap on. You earned it. Get your snow hat is what he calls it. Put the snow hat on, buddy. So anyway, just just some sweet moments with the kids lately. And yeah, amidst all the crazy, you know, they're sick and they're feeling better now. But yeah, it's just been a wild, crazy week with them. And but it ended well with, you know, Operation Christmas Child. So that's pretty cool.

How's your health doing now? Their health? Yeah. Good. Still snot sucking for Bo. I saw Bo's cheeks. Yeah. Yeah.

That's I don't know if that's more cold related or whatever. Maybe it's like cold weather related. Gotcha. We went and took family photos, just the kids for like Christmas card yesterday. And Catherine was like, do you think they can edit those out? And I was like, I don't think so. And right away the lady was like, oh yeah, I can edit that out. Like I can.

Yeah. I was like, okay, great. Um, she was really concerned about that, but yeah, they're all, they're all good. I felt so bad. A few different times. Bo's just gotten conned into the snot sucker. Like, like Catherine will like kind of show me it and she'll be like, come on. And I'll be like, no, come on.

We don't have, I feel so bad every time. I mean, so does Catherine, obviously, but like, like Hattie or Bo, like Catherine will be like, okay, Bo, come, come sit with me. And I'll be like, okay, yeah. And she goes, come lay down. And he like lays down. He's like, okay. He literally goes like kind of smiling and laughing.

Like, why are we laying down? And then he just sees it. He just goes, no, no, no, no, no, no. I feel so bad for it. But obviously it's like we're loving by trying to keep him. You're doing this to help. Yeah. Avoiding earaches and all these different things. But it's like, oh, at the time it's like, gosh, you're going to be traumatized for the

rest of your life from this. Never, never going to want to lay down again yeah like you like even even tonight like Catherine walked in you know to read him a book and she had the book and the snot sucker and he's like you know you hear him like kind of halfway through a sentence just stop and go no no no no you gotta be careful like I would be so nervous that I'm like conditioning my kid to do stuff all the time. Now, do we associate reading with pain? How do you do it? Sure. I'd be nervous.

Yeah, it is. It's funny. The word bummer to him is associated with discipline. Because when I say bummer, it means the consequences are about to come down. I like that. Yeah. Bummer. He goes, no, no.

He knows that his grace is up. His second chances are gone. Bummer. He goes, no, no. He knows that like his, his grace is up. Like his second chances are gone. So bummer. That's why, cause I keep asking him like, Hey, do the right thing. You know, Hey, you need to obey mom. No, no. Yeah. Okay. Bummer. No, no. You know, whatever. So anyway, they're awesome. Everything's great with the with the children good deal yeah i just worried i forgot to talk about the second person who's at my house uh this week it was um i got a knock on the door would have been yesterday a couple days ago it doesn't matter and uh open it it's this old man and he's holding deer antlers um oh wow just like one side i'm not like a full rack but like a half half rack half deer ribs yeah and as soon as they open the

door he's kind of like doing this playful like fake stabbing me with him fun fun way to open it i was like oh i was like what do i have here and he's like he like puts it down he's like i'm just playing i am looking for jason And I was like, okay. I was like, oh, I'm sorry. And he was an older guy. So I was very, you know, patient. I was like, oh, I tell you, we do not have a Jason who lives here. Like, do you know like the address you're looking for?

He's like, no, this is the house. This is the house. I was like, okay. You know, I'm trying to like think of what our solution is. He's like, I used to sell him golf balls. And I was like, oh. Same golf ball guy? Yeah, yeah. Whenever you said old man, I thought it was going of what our solution is. He's like, I used to sell him golf balls. And I was like, oh. Same golf ball guy? Yeah, yeah.

Whenever you said old man, I thought it was going to be golf ball guy. I just didn't really remember what he looked like. I remember what he was like when he's not stabbing me. I was like, you're looking for Isaac. And he's like, Isaac's his name. That's the guy, yeah. Yeah, I know. Oh, Jason lives.

I know who I'm thinking of. OK. Yes, Isaac. I was like. Isaac's the title of this guy. Jason's my Callaway connection. And I was like, oh, I was like, Isaac, I was like, you have some more golf balls for him? And he goes, no, these antlers.

I was like, you kind of pivoted your business. He's like, no, I'm not trying to sell them. I just wanted Isaac to see them. I was like, well, that's pretty cool. I was like, Isaac is actually asleep right now, but, um, I'll like,

I'll tell him all about the antlers. I'll make sure to describe them well. And I'll let him know that you came by. And, uh, then, because I think he didn't like get what he wanted out of Isaac. Then he just took the next five minutes to kind of educate me.

He wanted to tell somebody about this story. That's what I was telling. Did he find him in the field? He found him looking for golf balls. Yeah. And so, yeah, I think he wanted to tell somebody about this story that's what i was telling did he find him in the field he found him looking for golf balls yeah and so yeah i think he wanted to tell isaac and yeah my thought was his wife doesn't care she's like i gotta tell somebody um it's fair because he was like you know uh you know these come off once a year right like uh it would be idiotic for me not to do this i was like oh yeah oh yeah of course yeah he's like oh okay so you're a hunter and i was like, Oh yeah. Oh yeah, of course. Yeah. And he's like, Oh, okay. So you're a hunter. And I was like,

no. And I thought I was going to lose a lot of respect out of me. He's like, nah, me neither. I was like, okay, okay,

good. Anyways, we're just talking. And then Spencer shows up and now Spencer's wrapped up. Oh yeah. Spencer, check out these antlers. And then you're like,

yeah, you got Chipotle, huh? Okay. Wow. Yeah. It's kind of funny. I like that guy though.

Yeah. He's very lovely. I'm going to send Henry your way sometime. At this house. Yeah. Oh's kind of funny. I like that guy though. Yeah. He's very lovely. I'm going to send Henry your way sometime. At this house. Yeah. Oh, Rachel would never, Rachel and Henry would talk for longer than we podcast.

Probably neither one of them would want to like leave each other alone. It's amazing. Henry called me the other day and I, I tried to seem very, very busy. Cause, cause he was like, can,

can I, you know, do you think you can come by sometime and look at this? I was like, ah, I can't come by anytime soon. Like maybe next week sometime. But even then I don't think I'm going to be available. Uh, you know, probably won't, won't be until like December or January. And he was like, okay, well the way this thing's going and he's like explaining it all to me. And I'm like, he's like, Brad, do you, do you do a lot of drawers?

I was like drawers. You do more of a lot of drawers? I was like, drawers? Drawers. Brad, you more of a dishes guy? Brad, yeah. Yeah, you like to clean the bathroom or the kitchen more, huh? You do a lot of drawers. He's like asking me all these different things about it. I'm like, Henry, I don't know, man.

He's like, well, but this guy over here is saying I should do this thing. I was like, then do that. He's like, yeah, but it's just embarrassing, Brad. I can't go back and ask him again i'm like okay dude all right i was like i'll help you out sometime and i haven't been over there yet but um all together he's just he's a great guy he's very nice but sometimes he doesn't quite pick up on like i need i i can't do this right now man yeah i can't just be like this on demand available but everyone like the way he ends his conversations like i've talked about before he'll just be like all right see ya and so like there is a point where it's like it turns off for him and i don't know if it's like you know

eight attempts you know of mine like i just need to like continue you know how like uh back in the day control alt delete like sometimes you had to say in now like 15 times before i don't remember that you don't remember that oh we just had a bad computer at our house maybe but like yeah you tried to like cancel out the program that wasn't responding or something that didn't work for a while but i don't know i don't know what it is with him or if he just is done and he's all of a sudden like all right that's good all right we'll see you later okay uh but anyway uh something to update everyone on and then we will call scott here shortly um the guillotine we're recording

this on monday night right now a full week ahead of time but the guillotine league it is coming down to the wire um is it robbie weaver has 141 points we have a few minutes left in the Monday Night Football game. And Corey, what's his last name? Weston Brook. Weston Brook. Weston Brook has 139.5. Say 100 what? Basically, he's like two points.

Two points. And they both still have guys in. Oh, wait. They still have the entire fourth quarter. I thought that was the. Oh, okay. All right. So he needs Jimmy Garoppolo to score him, you know, basically, basically like one completion

for a first down. And that could be enough. What if he might not? They're up by 20 points. Oh, so they might just run the ball. Or run the ball. He may not play in the fourth quarter. Wow.

They're up three scores. They're up by 21 in the fourth quarter. Wow. Coming down to it. Do you want to give a shout out to some of our followers and soldiers over the weeks? We had Romeo and Juliet, Poindexter and Matt Dole. Yeah. And back to back weeks.

Yeah. Those guys were, yeah, just like, yeah, just star-crossed lovers in so many ways. You know, they just trash talk the entire, they made the group chat very fun because they really truly were just at each other's throats all the time. Matt Dole and M. Poindexter. We put them together. I think that's only right. That's how they would have wanted it.

Kevin Stiles. Oh, K. Stiles. Kevin and Michaela. Love them. And last but not least, of course. I'm trying to go back through and see week nine. Who could forget? I'm trying to go back through and see week nine. I mean, who could forget? I think it was Sterk.

Who could forget old Benjamin Stercules? Da, da, da, da. Great. Is that right? So now we're down to, what is this? This is week 11. So we're down to seven teams. So Brad and I are in the final seven in both leagues right now.

I, before, I meant to text you yesterday morning and say, I predicted this is my week to get out in one of my leagues. And I actually had a great day. So I don't know. I think I was the leading scorer in one of the leagues. And you might've been the leading scorer in the other one. Really? Yeah, I just.

And last week you and I were one and two. We're doing it, baby. We're doing it. We're going to be out next week. Travis, Kelsey. So like I said, or like Jake said. Oh, the Chiefs. Yeah, we were recording this so early.

So I know that this game happened a long time ago from the time you're listening. Yeah, that's true. But yeah, Chiefs played the Chargers last night and Travis Kelsey scored three touchdowns. Just absolutely was the reason we won the game with Patrick Mahomes. And I thought about just jokingly like sending you a trade for Travis Kelsey for Chase Claypool, like picking up Chase Claypool to then try to trade you him. But I didn't do it. But yeah, the Chiefs are awesome.

The Chiefs are the best team in the league at this point, right? Everyone's NFL power rankings number one right now. Are they really? Unanimous. Heck yeah. Even after last week. And now the Eagles beat the Colts by one point. Yeah.

By the time this comes out, maybe the Chiefs just lost to the Rams. No way. We beat the Rams. Go ahead and go check the score right now. It was 29 to 18. Very weird score. No, no, no.

Yeah. That was a weird score. Yeah, I was going to say he missed one anyway, but that would already included some misses. So you're right. He made the field goal. He missed two extra points. He did? He's got a problem. It's right. He shows up when he needs to.

He does. He does. Anyway, we're having fun here, guys. It's a good time. You want to go ahead and call Scotty? Yeah, you want to get the headphones? Oh, yeah. Moving. Hello. Whoa. Hey, Scott. Hello. Brad, can you hear him just barely from yours okay dude i just uh i totally spaced that you guys are recording a podcast tonight i was like

why is jake calling me calling you in 10 to 15 minutes what for um did you text me yeah oh yeah you did I did not see that. All right. Here we are. Well, no heads up needed. Just a second. I got some more. Yeah, Brad's still figuring out a court thing.

So updating everyone on last week's s'mores, it was the best office characters. Looking back, you know, I think Scott and I both would say we would have drafted differently. Maybe. I know I regret my Gabe Lewis pick. I think D'Angelo Vickers definitely lost Scottott some votes and brad ran away with it yes uh scott katherine was like all in with you until the d'angelo vickers thing which i predicted last week i was like katherine does not like d'angelo who would she have rather me picked what what would the population i asked her the question before i asked her the question before

like she had heard or she had seen our picks I think I don't know if this is realistic but I think she said Michael Aaron Kevin and Creed were her four yeah so I should have chosen Holly

of the people available who was I supposed to pick with like the final pick oh pray kevin or holly or kelly just based off the comments yeah holly would have been a good one yeah holly flag kind of forgot i got going on the weirdos i do not regret picking nate though i don't like nate some do some really did not i don't regret it i had a thought you were hating on the Pam pick because you were like, look what happened whenever Michael went off the show. But Nate was never on the show with Michael.

So something good happened in the last seasons. Yeah, Nate was a good pick. When I looked up his lines, just like his low-key lines were just so good. Yeah, when he asked for his resume back because he only has one. And he has something on the back of it. There's a chili recipe on the back. Chili recipe.

Amazing. The funny thing I was telling Catherine about, she's like, who is Nate? Like she couldn't even remember who he was at first. Yeah. I had to really like explain it. So anyway. He's the weirdo the last couple seasons. So anyway, Brad wins pretty easily.

It was Brad with 50 or 60, me with 25, Scott with 15 or 10 or something. I don't know. That's being generous. I don't know what's going to... It's still early, though. Technically, there could be a... I'm just wondering at what point I

just start getting pity votes. Pity votes get me the win. I don't think that's going to happen with the I'm wondering at what point I just started getting pity votes, you know, like it's votes. Get me the whip. I don't think, I don't think that's going to happen with the ghosts. I think they vote with their, their heart. You know, they,

they don't, well, which maybe is a pity, their mind. Yeah. They vote with their mind. They vote. They vote true.

Like Catherine even would be like, no, I don't think yours is the best. I'm going to vote for somebody else. You got to bring it. I know they don't vote with their hearts. Cause my wife never votes for me. So, or maybe she is voting with her heart.

She's telling you something. That's a fact. All right. This week is going to be the Mount Rushmore of voices. Voices with a V. Voices. Voices. I'm going to go first and say Sean Paul.

Scott, give us your best. Yeah, give us your best Sean Paul. Just give me the right and that's it. That's it. Sean Paul. Perfect. Mount Rushmore Voices, I won, so I'm going to pick

the order. I'm going to go second. The first pick is going to go to Scott Peck. Third pick will go to Jake Triplett. Love it. Scott, what do you got? Alright, my first draft pick is

one of the most iconic voices of all time. He could probably read a dictionary and it would be entertaining. That is the one and only Morgan Freeman. Okay. He was on my list what's that face just about i don't do a great morgan freeman impression so i'm not gonna try okay no that's i think that's part of part of schmorz is we all have to try to impersonate our our picks

what i'm trying to think of some one of his lines from bruce almighty because that's i don't know why when i think of morgan freeman i just just always think of Bruce Almighty um hold on a second let's see yeah he has a very unique voice but it feels hard to impersonate Brad's looking at you you can't tell anybody your God believe me you don't want that kind of attention and you can't mess with free will that's I mean that's way better than I could do it's not good i pride myself on my ability to impersonate people but i cannot do his voice no that is better than i could do that was fun scott thanks for trying the answer yeah the answer is you tried and that is that is good enough for us all right um okay my first pick is going to be

the the first person i thought of and then i was brainstorming with katherine tonight and without telling her any of my thoughts she be the first person I thought of, and then I was brainstorming with Catherine tonight, and without telling her any of my thoughts, it was the first person she thought of as well. It's James Earl Jones. I thought about putting him. I mean, just in my opinion, the greatest voice of all time, you know, in so many ways. He, you know, me and Lion King.

He is Mufasa on Lion King. Is that a challenge? I think of him as a Sandlot. Yeah. George signed this? You know, why don't you come on in? We have a little talk. I can't do him, but he's also Darth Vader. He is in Field of Dreams.

He's just awesome in so many different ways. And I think he might also, I've never listened to it, admittedly, but I think he might read the Bible. I think he has a recording of him reading the Bible. Oh, interesting. And I would he might also, I've never listened to it admittedly, but I think he might read the Bible. Like, I think he has like a recording of him reading the Bible. Oh, interesting. And I would like that. So.

Oh, that one up Scott's dictionary. Yeah. Dictionary Bible. Anyway, James Earl Jones, my man. All right. I'm going to go with a talker and a singer. Fun. First, I'm going to start off with bruce buffer dang it i had that

thought i wait i prefer bruce wait hold on who is that i was thinking michael buffer i prefer bruce there's two what do you mean there's two michael is let's get ready to rumble bruce is it's time and i prefer it's time whoa whoa whoa can we listen it's time that's his thing okay i love it dude i don't even watch ufc or boxing or anything wait so there's are they brothers you don't know this i i've always heard michael buffer uh let's get ready to rumble but i've never i didn't know there was a second bruce's thing is dude it's time so i love is it also two brothers that are just they both just have catchphrases yeah copyrighted words that's awesome okay i love scott you should look up i just saw this campaign come up yesterday on my feed but michael buffer

just did a uh campaign with crumble and he's like a lot of people think it's let's get ready to rumble it's it's let's get ready to crumbleble. It's, it's, let's get ready to crumble. You just, you can't hear it. He does an amazing job acting in it. Like he truly has a great, like comedic, like delivery. I was like, that's cool. That makes me like him. Not enough to pick them. I stay true to my heart.

So Bruce Buffer is my first pick. And then, cause I mean, when it comes to voices, I mean, the guy's got a copyright. He gets paid to only use his voice. Yeah. It's not because he looks good. It's because he has an awesome voice and um next i'm gonna go with one of my favorite singing voices there's probably gonna be some other singers on my list but adele very powerful you know she smoked a lot of cigarettes just enough to kind of get it just right you know like enough to almost lose

her vocal cords but still can have a little rasp. Love it. Which I like. Okay. Go ahead and impersonate. Okay. Of course. Let me take a sip of water. Rachel's out there trying to write a grad school paper and I'm just screaming in here. Never mind. Rolling in the deep.

That was good. Maybe that's the key. You scream. Yeah. You belt it out, baby. Use that's the key. You scream. Yeah. You let, you belt it out, baby. Use the whole windpipe. The whole diaphragm.

That's the key. I was singing too quiet. Yeah. Try it really quietly. You could have had it all. I think this is just your song, honestly. Those were great.

Maybe it's headphones. I wonder if it's like. Maybe it's like, if I can hear myself sing that, that's why they use monitors. Oh, no, I just discovered this.

I was the first person to realize that just now. Okay. I like it. Bruce Buffer and Adele. All right. I don't know. Um, sorry,

Rachel. My next pick is going to be the man. He's, he's a new school pick, which so is Adele. Um, but the man who literally makes, uh, Lincoln, which so is Adele. But the man who literally makes Lincolns

look sexy. And his name is Matthew McConaughey. Oh, I didn't think about him. Oh, frick you, Brad. Frick you. Scott's upset. Gosh dang it. I mean, yeah, like those Lincoln commercials are some of the most successful ads ever.

And he's literally just sitting in a car. Obviously, he's's also a good looking guy but he's just sitting there with his hand up on the steering wheel just talking nonsense and it's just like this guy is cool it's like he's rubbing a booger in his hands dude he could he could say like children's rhymes and you'd think it was the most profound piece of advice you've ever heard in your life mirror mirror on the wall i said hey who who's the fairest of them all is that good i think scott's scott's mortgage premium was closer than your value i gotta but hey that's right everyone's gotta try it let me try again let me try

hey man i was like, Jack, Jack, Jack, Jack, Jack, Jack, Jack,

Jack, Jack, Jack, Jack, Jack, Jack, Jack, Jack,

Jack, Jack, Jack, Jack, Jack, Jack, Jack, Jack,

Jack, Jack, Jack, Jack, Jack, Jack, Jack, Jack,

Jack, Jack, Jack, Jack, Jack, Jack, Jack, Jack,

Jack, Jack, Jack, Jack, Jack, Jack, Jack, Jack,

Jack, Jack, Jack, Jack, Jack, Jack, Jack, Jack, Jack, Jack, Jack, Jack, Jack, Jack, Jack, Jack, Jack, Jack, Jack, Jack, Jack, Jack, Jack, Jack, Jack, Jack, Jack, Jack, Jack, Jack, Jack, Jack, Jack, Jack, Jack, Jack, Jack, Jack, Jack, I'm a good. oh good try can you tell we rehearsed these uh beforehand my my favorite part is the like the whistle that you're trying because you know what i'm talking he does that i know dude i know exactly what you're talking about my buddy uh my buddy tj that i i played pickleball with in dallas we listened to uh green lights on the way to and from, and he can do that whistle perfectly. And I envy it so much. Cause I cannot, I can't do it. I would sound like you if I tried to do that.

Okay. I'm coming back next week with a killer impersonation of him. All right, go ahead, Scotty. Okay. Uh, my next pick that, well, it was going to beew mcconaughey but i got swiped um my next pick is the man of many voices maybe all the voices weirdo rest in peace robin williams oh really that's a fun pick like his voice yeah okay yeah i just i think his like just his normal voice is great but like i love like his impressions were unbelievable. And the thing that I think of is that scene in Mrs. Doubtfire where he's applying for the jobs. Yes. Oh, yes. I mean, just so I am.

And then he plays like the the the Jewish lady. Oh, it was such a shanda and then that just reminds me of my grandma bunny which is that like he could do bunny if he met bunny he would be able to impersonate her perfectly what does he say scott you're good with lines he said something about like i don't mind men because he used to be one something like that you remember that i just remember going i used to be one he says i don't I just remember going, I used to be one. He says, I don't worry about the boys because I used to be one. That is funny.

I like that pick. I think he is like, yeah, the best voice actor of all time. But I think his normal voice is not my favorite. But I think who cares? He's being picked because of what he can do with his voice. good all right scott you get another one oh man um i think my next pick i'll do my first first singer on here and that is mr freddie mercury of queen i had him on my list that was my next one really it yeah crushes me yeah and i think i gained a much more i gained a lot greater appreciation for him after watching the movie Bohemian Rhapsody.

I thought that was a very insightful until like, like I didn't know all these things about how his, his buck teeth made him be able to sing the way he did, which I think is really cool. Yeah. Yeah. That allowed him to just hit like some of the high notes that he could, but yeah, just one of the, I mean, nobody can impersonate his voice like that and you know it's it's just an incredible unique one-of-a-kind voice well one of the three of us has to try to impersonate his voice right

now so go ahead nice exactly this that's all yeah he's he's such a good singer yeah i agree that's great oh i got two singers on my list that i like a lot don't you dare and then i have a really good another voice you're not gonna pick my singers i don't think jake maybe um i'm gonna go i'm gonna go with the singer. Uh, the first singer I could think of, um, on the voice category and his name is Francisco Sinatra. People call him Frank, Frank Sinatra. I think he's got the, I mean, he's the original crooner. He's the, he's got the smooth voice. And I mean,

I think Christmas music is so good for so many reasons, but my favorite thing about Christmas music is that it's like such a warm feeling in a cold season. And Frank is, you know, one of like the four or five just classic, like you hear a Frank Sinatra song and you just, you just warm up. So I'll give you that. It is like a blanket. Yeah. It's, it's Christmassy, but I don't know if it's like, I don't know if Frank Sinatra can do what a lot of

people nowadays can do well but yeah that's always that's always a tough argument because i think it's like but he he originated so many things that now are you know it's like the beatles it's like like paul mccartney's not that good of a bass player it's like well but he like the techniques that people are doing now are because he originated things that were around you know so i feel like the reason you know it's frank sinatra is because he kind of sings the same way every time like not a lot of range yeah yeah that's fair it's just it's just nice to listen to it's easy listening you're right so i'll give you that and i i'll say like yeah i think josh groban is like an amazing singer, but I do not like listening to Josh Groban for whatever reason.

I think he's not, he doesn't hit the ear as easily as old, old blue eyes. So he doesn't, I think that there's something to it of like, yeah, like whatever, a Dina Menzel or somebody that sings super, super high. It's like, that's a really good job, but I don't want to listen to this very much more yeah whereas frank goes down easy yeah it's like i'll listen to defying gravity once but i'm not i'm not on repeat you know what i mean so um cool i'll uh wrap up my picks i'm gonna go with whitney houston uh namely just it's uh that one but i think i will always love you it's just like i iconic right everyone like i think everyone it's like unspoken but everyone is like yeah try to hit that note or like that's the note yeah the you know the eye and well no not the

eye the eye is the easy one sure the eye and the you yeah yeah yeah i'm not gonna try that one you you go you nailed that brad thanks man jake jake's going for it now he figured out that if you just yell you could hit every note so he's i'm sorry this is the last one i'll be done okay all right okay don't start too high don't start too high the amount of times i've sang in my life, I mean, this is like the 11th time. Big breath. That was bad. No, that was awesome. I can't find it, that's hard to sing.

That was, you tried. Okay. I will always love you. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I had to focus so hard. That was awesome. I have missed a lot in there, but I found it. Your range is higher.

Yeah. That one, I couldn't scream. I had to falsetto that one. Couldn't scream that one. That was great, though. I think everyone out there is very proud of you. I was gripping the seat. I'm very proud.

And then my last pick, I don't think this was on any of us' list. One of my favorite voices is going to be Brad's Mr. Lamping voice. Also known as the grandpa. All right, I'm voting for Jake this week. In any of our videos. Also known as the apparently kid'm voting for jake this week any of our videos um also known as the apparently kid all grown up oh which i have that written down in our notes for future change words videos like doing like a fake newscast john chris kind of does this yes sometimes like we found the apparently

kid now what's he up to yeah you just do the well apparently you know entertainment didn't work out yeah apparently i just have uh nothing but time on my hands yeah mr lambing okay well i guess you just did it you did a impersonation right there yeah love it dude that's great thank you that's so kind yeah we did do a little little grandpa today um fun yeah you're right i did not have that one on my list i was like oh whenever people preface things like i bet you guys don't have on this, you have this on your list. I'm always so excited. Like, Ooh, maybe I do. I didn't. Um, okay. My last pick, um, is going to be the man who makes the month, not even mundane, but the, the simple things in life that I didn't really care about before watching these shows. Um, very entertaining. And his name is David Attenborough,. Sir David Attenborough. I didn't think about him either. I mean, watching Planet Earth and the way he narrates that thing. Yeah, give us some.

Okay. The link's cut. That was pretty good. I don't know what he said. That was pretty good. It's feeding season. I don't know what he says. That was pretty good. It's feeding season. I don't know. I think it's almost harder to do a really short sentence

than it is to find it along the way. Let's talk about the glaciers. The glaciers are melting at an alarming pace. That's pretty good. By this time next year, this mother's

lair will be nothing but ice. I don't know. It's melting into more ice. Okay, okay, I know. Okay. Whatever. By the time the ice melts, it'll be filled with ice. It'll be cold water. Okay. Whatever. By the time the ice melts, it'll be filled with ice. By the time the ice melts, it'll be cold water.

Whatever. All right. That's a great pick. Great impersonation. Thank you. All right, Scotty. All right. My fourth and final pick, which I tend to lose each week because of my fourth pick,

so let's go ahead and dive headfirst here. Jim or Furnette? Yeah. lose each week because of my fourth pick so let's go ahead and dive head first here um jimmer for yeah no this man is uh synonymous with some of my favorite sporting events uh which is the masters march madness well i guess no longer march madness and chiefs games and that is mr jim nance okay that's a good answer yeah it's a fun answer yeah yeah i i um i just yeah the masters is my favorite sporting event of the year he always commentates the masters he does march madness he does a ton of chiefs games with tony romo and i just think when i hear his voice it's just like all right something something good's happening we're either watching chiefs we're watching golf we're watching march madness yeah it's good it's associated with good things right i was gonna say this is not as much

of voice as it is like the yeah the association of like oh it's just fun whatever we're doing jim dance is around it's good scott can we hear a jim dance and tony romo conversation a little bonus impersonation jim you see grunt's going to run over the middle, and they're going to hit him from the first down again, Jim. Well, I think you're right, Tony. I love the pause. Yeah, I know. I was like, is he doing the other one?

Oh, man. Right, Tony? No, here's my favorite. My jim nance quote of all time is uh is the moment that we all knew that the chiefs were going to the super bowl when mahomes hits brad's favorite football player of all time yep over the middle sammy watkins yes dude i know yes just that that quote just him i i can't tell you how many times i've rewound that play and just listen to jim nance say sammy watkins name over and over and over again you really have to you are a big rewinder and like rewatcher of your dvr stuff

like more than more than most you know 50 year olds i know i love to bathe in those nice moments, you know. I think it'd be fun, maybe on a Patreon episode or something, like to do like a schmores of sports announcers. Because like, because that's fun. I think about the, but I also think of Gus Johnson and I think of, you know, Vern Lundquist and Pete Vitale and all these different people.

Gus Johnson, Kevin Harlan. Yeah, Kevin Harlan's so good too. Yeah, so anyway. Al Michaels. Okay, those are fun. Let me recap real quick. Scott had Morgan Freeman, Robin Williams, Freddie. Maybe should we do a one word impersonation for each now? Yep.

All right, so Scott had Morgan Freeman. Today. Morose. Oh, Morose. Robin Williams. It was such a shender. Freddie Mercury. Wee.

And Jim Nance. Sammy. Brad had James Earl Jones. Luke. Matthew McConaughey. All right. Frank Sinatra. Witchcraft.

What? He has a song. It's Witchcraft. Sir David Attenborough. Planet. That was good. That was great. You like that one.

We got it. That's a great impersonation. Then for Jake, we got Bruce Buffer. Time! Adele. What is one of the songs? Hello. Hello.

Nice. Whitney Houston. You. And Brad's Mr. Lamping voice yellow awesome uh we got any honorable mentions uh rachel gave me one okay she said the voice of god i had that thought voice of truth uh-huh um i had christina aguilera yep i'd say dion oh selena just the Titanic song my dad loves Celine Dion it's so random easy Dean

Mariah Carey Beyonce this one is like not popular enough but I really think anything that Jay Z is in is so much better oh I do not like his voice oh really see that's what I'm saying like I think it's a little bit polarizing but like he'll be on like a remix of a song and I think it's a little bit polarizing, but he'll be on a remix of a song, and I think it gets so much better

when I hear his voice. Hold. Yeah. Aretha Franklin. Okay, yeah. I love Aretha. Paul McCartney was the other one I was thinking about maybe doing because I love him so much.

You guys know who Sam Elliott is? The old time guy? Yeah, kind of like an old cowboy yeah he basically welcomed you to the wild wild west while you see seeing me on things that have nothing to do with me and then i had michael buffer and like i didn't know this guy's name i had to look it up but patrick war but burton he's the guy that's the voice for Kronk in Emperor's New Groove.

What are you talking about? Squeakity squeak. Squeaking. I was always in the back. I had a weak ankle. Because of my weak ankles. Scott, what were your honorable mentions? I had Barry White.

Okay. Can you love me your love, babe? I had Michael Buble. uh i had uh barry white okay i had michael buble okay i had michael jackson i thought about it gotta separate the art from the artist there and then i had the one and only christopher walken that was great at first i thought i mean you were i thought about putting it into my main list but i was like i don't know if people are gonna like his voice that's great dude that's so funny say red rover red rover make jake come over with chris walking red rover red rover make jake come over with chris uh walking red rover red rover make jake come over that's awesome that is fun i really love justin bieber's voice but i was like i'm gonna get ridiculed if i put him on my list so i didn't write him down i didn't even put it i'll

Yes. I don't, I think there's maybe only one new one. Is that right? Oh, not on my device. You're a charitable guy. Mine says, I really love this podcast. Two words. It is so funny and clean.

I love that it's clean. Keep it that way. I found out about y'all when I was watching so funny and clean. I love that it's clean. Keep it that way. I found out about y'all when I was watching one of Trey's YouTubes with my cousin, and then we watched yours after. I liked the one with all three of you where you were all getting Starbucks for your wives and you kept getting the orders wrong. Keep up the good work. Awesome.

Mine is coming from old Alden Cronin. Oh, yeah. He's a faithful, faithful follower. I see him over on Correct Opinions as well. Yeah, man. Thank you, Alden Cronin. Oh, yeah. He's a faithful supporter. I see him over on Correct Opinions as well. Yeah, man. Thank you, Alden, for everything. No, I'm just kidding. I'll read your podcast review.

This podcast is middle schooler approved. Five stars. I'm Alden Cronin, and I'm 14 years old from Massachusetts. I sincerely love this podcast. It makes every Monday better when I'm eating breakfast on the school bus and even in class. I often hear funny bits and find myself grinning and chuckling in class. Apparently, it's noticeable, too, because my teachers usually ask what's so funny. I just tell them to listen to the Ghost Runners podcast. That's how you do it, Scott.

Yes. And vote for Brad. This summer was tough with my new job as a landscaper. 90 degree days were cooled by Jake and Brad's hilarious banter. Wow. 14 years old. 14 years old. Yeah. He's going to have a good work ethic. Maybe he already does. Also, hearing some English-speaking voices brought comfort while working with three sweaty Mexicans. No offense meant, Brian and Jose. I love this 14-year-old. No offense, just in case Brian and Jose are listening to this. If you're watching. I'd be cracking up in the work truck and they always go,

Que tiene de divertido. I think that's how you spell it. Just wanted to let you guys know you make my life better every day. Thanks for all you do, Alden. Thanks, Alden. We really do appreciate you. I'm Alden with the review. There's no more left?

No, it's Alden. Okay. Well done. Can you work in Cronin? I try to give... I try to like... I try to have funny jokes like, you know,

but I'm a dad. So my kids are always just left groaning. Okay. That's not bad. Mine that I thought of is even dumber. I don't think so. It's a multiple choice question. Which of these is the best way to stick a table to a chair?

Glue, stick glue, Velcro, none. Okay, you're right. I was like, there's no way it's stupider than mine. Yeah, yeah. Crow none. But the way our minds think. Beautiful, beautiful things. Thank you, Alden.

Really do appreciate you and other fans like you. Quick update on your second. There it is. Jimmy G threw four touchdown passes tonight. Wow. Like by far his best game all season. And it's over 250 yards to season. And it's saved. Over 250 yards? 228. So it's saved.

Corey. Corey is still in it. Robbie Weaver is out. Cooper Cup went down last week. That's a big reason why he's probably out, which is a bummer. Any given Sunday, baby. What was it?

Corey. Sorry. Who's out? Robbie Weaver. Robbie Weaver. Bum, bum, bum, bum. Actually, this is, now that I'm saying that,

I think both teams who are out this week had Cooper Cup. And I think they also had Saquon Barkley. It's a dog-eat-dog world out there. Bark, bark. So I think the other loser was Spacey Stacy. Oh, Spacey Stacy. Brad, would you like to end this episode with a jingle? Yeah, I do.

Bella Stevens sent this one over, and I just learned that if I just yell it really loud, that I'll be on key. That's not pretty good. Let's try it. Let's try it. There's a place off Ghosty Avenue Where I used to sit and pod with you We were both in the garage and it felt so right Pickling all day, podding all night

Podding all night There's a place on the corner of Johnson Drive. We would eat Chick-fil-A and Nike flies. We were both 28 and it felt so right. Pickling all day, potting all night. Potting all night. I like your voice. You like that? Yeah. Parting all night If I could podcast now Things would get better

We can ask God come And laugh forever Let the vibes crash down on me And take me away, yeah There's a piece of Scott that's here with us It's everywhere we go, we always hear his wheeze When I drink, chag, I'm woke and it gets me by I can make believe Scott is here tonight Scott is here too

Night If we could have Scott here Things would get better We could live on the same street And part forever I know some way, somehow We'll live together Get Scott a house and let him live next to Jake and Brad

I remember the pod years ago When Brad told Jake he'd have a girl in six months Jake was lucky to find Topgolf Rachel. Now they're potting in Jake's new house. But he can't live there because they're not married yet. The house is coming together nicely. They'll be

together so soon because they're getting wet next summer. I think I was supposed to sing here. Here's Kendrick. Now it would be better. Catherine's living for which group? I have three kids later. I know somewhere, somehow we'll get together Let's start

the party and we can get some body I'm so pretty in here Good job, Brad. Thanks, man. Thanks. Thank you, Kansas City. Kansas City, we've been yellow card. I don't know why he turned into a, I don't know what that is, Pittsburgh guy.
