I just realized I don't have my wedding ring.
Whoa.
Yikes.
Wow.
I noticed that normally it hurts when I clap.
Wow, dude.
She leaves for a few days and you just give up.
Just like that, huh?
My gosh.
If Rachel's not in town, I'm not married.
That's what we always say.
Are we restarting the episode that way?
I think so.
Absolutely.
Oh, yeah.
Well, there it is.
Okay, yeah. Rachel's out of town. I don think absolutely. Oh yeah. Well, there it is. Okay.
Yeah. Rachel's out of town. I don't have my wedding ring. I'm a mess. My throat's sore.
My voice is gone. You're just, yeah, you're nothing without her. I can't do it. What was I?
The other day, dude. What was I struggling with the other day? You've just been biffing a lot. A lot of biffs. You're not a biffer and you've been biffing. The other day I left because you said you had a call at 1115.
Oh, yeah.
And then like we were going to meet up later.
So I texted you like, hey, man, just seeing how the call went.
And you're like, dude, the call was tomorrow.
I'm really sorry.
But, hey, the rest of the day.
Yeah, I'll head to McLean's for the afternoon, probably do some work.
And then like, yeah, five minutes later you text me back again.
And you're like, I don't know what I was thinking. I have to record correct opinions this afternoon. It's
every Monday at two. How did I forget? I almost said that. I was like, it's not like you do it
at the same time every single week or something. There was a couple episodes ago where I recorded
both Monday and Wednesday episodes with my shorts on backwards. What? I texted you that.
I don't remember. I kind of remember. Maybe you said that. I, I, I, that,
yeah, I don't remember.
Maybe it's because I'm so used to my kids having their pants on.
That's like such a toddler move.
That's not even noteworthy for you anymore.
Seriously.
The other day.
Yeah.
I was like,
how do you,
is your underwear on backwards?
Sure enough.
Just completely.
She's like,
oh gosh,
I can just see Jake being like,
oh gosh.
Oh,
whoops.
Anyway. Yeah. I'm struggling with that rachel one
thing i'm doing good though because my throat's so sore i'm drinking so much water yeah so she'd
be so proud of me i drank four of these yesterday nice if you're not on youtube you can't see it but
listen oh that yeah four of those you yeah a 20 ounce but like cup you couldn't you couldn't do
that you couldn't wrestle it's like probably a 36 ounce yeti i don't do that. You couldn't rustle.
It's like probably a 36 ounce Yeti. I don't know.
Yeah, maybe 32. Okay.
Anyway, that's not how we were going to start the episode.
We were going to start it by me actually not talking,
saving my voice, and Brad
and Tymon singing.
Yeah, we were going to do a little, we call it song pop back
in the day with K-Life,
where the K-Life leaders would
give a word, and then the other people would
try to sing a song back and forth.
That incorporates that word, and whoever
doesn't first, loses.
Is the loser.
With my song knowledge, this is going to go
fantastically. Stop!
You have more song knowledge than you act.
I'm tired of that.
Because you can sing any song you want. You can sing a song
from the cross and the switchblade.
It doesn't have to be a mainstream song.
Okay.
Okay?
Yeah, good point.
It just needs to have the word in it.
Yeah.
The word of the first round is the word time.
Time.
If you're lost and you're up and you will find me,
time after time in.
Boom.
Also, you don't have to know any of the other words in the song.
Because that's how I roll.
I just need time.
Yeah.
I need time.
It's an F song.
It is.
I should have enlisted, or think you'd have won.
Time is ticking away. T ticking away tick tick ticking away come on chicken dc talk back
in the day oh i'm so blanking come on it's wild that uh song two and song three already went to
like christian music yeah he did one mainstream one is like all right that's enough. Time. There's got to be.
See if I can help time it out.
I got another one.
I mean, there is.
Don't steal it.
A few weeks ago, I said, you know, I was listening to a song the other day that had time in it.
Do you remember what it was?
Shine bright like a time in.
Something about got to put my time in or something like that.
Those are the words, but that is not the melody.
It was Ed.
Hang it.
Yeah. Ed and Camila Cabrera.
You listen to Camila Cabrera.
Oh yeah.
You're always loving Camila Cabrera.
Timon, you're a big Camila Cabrera.
I don't know.
Okay.
Does that count as mine?
Closing time.
There it is.
Next round, Timon, you get to start it because there's one big one. Wait, I've got time. Oh, is. Next round, time, and you get to start it
because there's one big one.
Wait, I've got time.
He's back.
Every time I look at you.
Okay.
Life could be a dream.
That song.
You don't know that song?
That's part of the game is that we just make up songs
and see if the other two people just call you out on it.
No, dude.
That's such a good song.
Who is it by?
Life Could Be a Dream.
It's old.
It's by...
I don't remember.
Okay.
Like a crooner?
Like a Sinatra?
Maybe.
Okay.
Yeah.
It's old.
Good.
Do you have the time to listen to me whine?
Green Day.
That's all.
That's all I know of it.
Ah,
impressive time.
You guys already got to be a song that says time after time.
There's a hundred percent there.
I sang it already.
Time.
Okay.
Okay.
Gosh,
there's gotta be a song called time is ticking away.
There's gotta be a Cindy lopper song called time after time.
I just know there is.
No, There's got to be a Cyndi Lauper song called Time After Time. I just know there is.
Or like one that's about a bar closing down.
There's got to be a song. I'm racking my brain.
Time.
All right, next round.
I think I win.
Point for Brad.
Oh, yeah.
Best of three.
You won fairly.
Next round.
The word is road.
Come on.
Country roads.
There it is.
Yeah, yeah.
That's how it's thinking.
Oh, that was...
To me, that seemed like the obvious one.
Yeah, I'm going to take my horse on the old town road.
Nice.
Ride till I can't no more. I got no horses in the bag. I'm going to die. That song is so good, dude.
It's so fun.
It's impressive.
He did a good job with that.
Yeah.
His first song.
Yeah.
It was awesome.
Man.
Road. Road. Road. Come on. Road.
Road.
Road.
Come on.
Road.
There's got to be a song about West Virginia.
Yeah.
Like West Virginia gets forgotten about,
but I think there's got to be at least one song about the roads.
Not like a metro, not like an urban road,
but like there's got to be a song.
Time after time.
I'm trying to, like, all I could think about is Life is a Highway.
I know, that was my first song.
And I could not think of where it would ever say road in there, though.
Because it mumbles through those verses.
Life is a roadway.
Yeah, yeah.
That's the German version.
The Beatles.
The long and winding road.
That was me singing.
That was it.
For the listeners.
All right, I win.
Got it.
Tymon's a loser.
One more or is that it?
Yeah, yeah, one more, one more.
Okay.
The word night.
Silent night.
Harmonize with me.
Holy night. What is calm?
All is calm
What is bright?
All is bright
Come on everybody
Round yon virgin
Mother and child
What kind of infant?
Holy infant
So tender and mild What are you going to do? and child. What kind of infant? Holy infant so tender
and mild. What are you gonna do?

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 this is Ghost

Yeah.
That's a great spot to put it.
It's fun.
It's fun that you can harmonize time because I can't, I can, I can do like maybe one, you
know, one word per five.
I'm like, I know that one.
Like with the chord switches, maybe like kind of.
Maybe so. I haven't analyzed like what it is, but I can't, I know that one. Like where the chord switches maybe? Maybe so.
I haven't analyzed what it is.
Yeah.
But I can't do a whole song.
Like I, yeah.
That sounded really good.
And I've just sung that so much.
Sure.
Like in Christmas' past.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Anyway.
Good job, you guys.
Catherine, thank you. Catherine does not like, if she's ever singing a song, I like to harmonize, like practice my
harmony basically. And she gets tripped up every time I harmonize because then it messes up her
melody. And so it's like kind of like a serious point of contention in our marriage. Like she's
like, please, please don't do that. We went over it in premarital counseling.
Yeah.
Like just to get ahead of this, like, hey, have you guys talked harmony? I don't want to.
You want to live in harmony, but you don't want to sing in harmony.
So anyway, that's a fun start. I don't want to. You want to live in harmony, but you don't want to sing in harmony. So, anyway.
That's a fun start.
That is a fun start.
It's a fun week.
Thank you guys for listening to our podcast again.
I think the first thing I want to start with right off the bat is my sister got married.
Yes, she did.
And I'm just so pumped for her.
I learned the day of her wedding, you know, a crazy long day.
She was out late the night before rehearsal dinner.
She woke up at 545. Wow. She wanted to have some time to herself to just go on a walk and just be
by herself. The only time all day she's going to be by herself. And she said she listened to
Ghost Hunters for 30 minutes. Cool. I was like, oh, that's awesome. That's a, that's a, that's
high praise. Yeah. You know, like I want time to myself and my brother and his best friend.
I feel like there's been a lot of feedback recently about like,
I was just checking the Facebook group.
It was like, hey, we're having to go back to the hospital.
My husband has leukemia again, but at least it's a Monday.
We get to listen to Ghostrunners and someone else just had her first child.
Listen to Ghostrunners the whole time.
Ghostrunners is like the quality of listeners is going up.
It's like when they're listening to it.
I wish Spotify could tell us that.
I'm always amazed by the effect that the podcast has
on people that's unintentional like that.
It's like, hey, we're not trying to get you through
your first two weeks of newborn stage with your kids,
but yeah, that's awesome.
What a testament to positivity, I guess.
Yeah, we're not trying to help you be getting through this tough time,
but it's happening.
So it's just cool.
Pretty cool.
But yeah, Caitlin is married.
It was so fun.
Yeah.
There's actually – so our wedding photographers,
we don't have a single picture of me looking at Rachel.
It was crazy how quickly they got the photos back too, right?
Oh, Caitlin.
Sorry, yeah, Brayden and Caitlin.
Yeah.
So I don't own a single picture of me looking at Rachel when she's coming out now the video you guys will see a grande boo phenomenal it's
not perfect but I'm gonna say it I'm gonna say it and make it like five
syllables but no man no okay that makes it it a lot more emphasized.
Okay, but you guys want to come to Grande Boudinard.
Uh-huh.
But, yeah, I mean, they already...
So, oh, I know where I was going with this,
but we have a picture of me looking at Caitlin coming down the aisle at her wedding,
and it's awesome.
It's such a cool picture.
Yeah.
I imagine I was looking at Rachel somewhat similarly,
but if nothing else, I have the picture of me looking at Caitlin.
Right.
It's just so fun.
I loved having her as a roommate, and now she's getting married.
It was just awesome.
Yeah.
It was just so fun.
Yeah.
I'm so excited for it.
It was a fun wedding.
We got to be there.
We got there.
It was a 4.30 wedding.
We didn't get there too early, 4.22, I bet.
Okay.
I wasn't proud of it.
I wish I could have gotten there at 4.17 or so.
And we walked in and I was like, there's no seats.
There's no seats left.
And it was me, Catherine, Isaac.
And Isaac's like, well, there's some seats up front.
And I was like, that's the family.
That's like the family row.
And I think everyone thought that third and fourth rows were family rows.
They weren't.
Triplets don't have a lot of family.
It's true.
And so we were right up there.
I mean, we had the best seat in the house besides, you know,
grandpa and grandma.
We were pretty close to each other, he and I, because I was on the end.
Yeah, we'd look at each other every now and then during the ceremony.
Yeah.
Because Coach John was the officiant.
Yes, Coach.
That's my coach.
I said that.
Let's pray.
And I go, you better pray, Coach.
You can do it.
Good prayer, Coach.
Way to bring this wedding into the divine i don't know i wish i didn't say that good job coach
no he did uh he did a good job though it was fun to connect with my dad and uncle john
both over kind of stand-up comedy in a way because because John really resonated with getting so nervous to do public speaking.
And we're going through, you know, I was like, what he's going through,
I would go through, like my first couple shows,
and try to talk him through it and go slow or whatever.
And then my dad also, we got to really bond over joke writing, speech writing,
whatever you want to call it, because for my wedding, he gave a speech.
Obviously, he didn't fill me in on what he was going to say. It was a surprise,
but this wedding, it was like, Hey, I'm going to say something to Caitlin's like, what do you think
about this joke? What do you think about this? And it was really fun for us to go back and forth.
Like, Ooh, I really liked that one. Yeah. You should do that one at the beginning or you should
maybe, you know, tinker with this or reword this. And he crushed it. Yes. Genuinely. I, I got, well,
tears down my face. Yeah. You said, yeah, they is rare like usually i'm like i'm gonna stop this like yeah think about power rangers
or something like random like just just get get the mind off of it i don't care there's something
different like a like just just when you know the bride obviously i know rachel very well but like
i was there for caitlin at this wedding and like when you know the bride, obviously I know Rachel very well, but like, I was there for Caitlin at this wedding. And like, when you know the bride, you just internalize it as your daughter.
Like, it's like, that's, that's going to be Hattie someday. It's obviously I knew Steve and I was
like, that's going to be me and Hattie and holy cow. Like that's going to be me and Rosie. So
like, holy cow. Like, and, and then yeah, him to give him that whole speech about being her dad.
And I was just like, Ooh. And then it just started. Yeah. So like nearly like Catherine looked back and I was just like, that's a good speech,
man. Um, no, I, I mean, as I mean, it was an a plus speech at your wedding. You forget about
there's such a thing as an a plus plus dude. It was longer and better. I think than mine. It was
so good. There's so many good stories. There was a callback at the end to one of the first stories
when Caitlin was in middle school.
The punch in the arm.
It was sentimental.
It was just so good. Everyone kept
coming up to me and telling me about my dad's speech.
I think Isaac...
Was Isaac the one who made the point?
It was just like, if my dad had been born
when I was, he would be doing the exact same thing.
I've been telling people, I was like, my dad deserves to have my job more than I do.
Like, that's impressive.
I don't think I could do what he did.
Yeah.
Because, yeah,
he incorporated comedy with the humor.
The sentiment.
Yeah, sentimental.
Yeah.
Isaac turned around and he's like,
I mean,
this is exactly where Jake gets it from.
Which is so funny to me
because on one hand,
like, of course,
like you guys are both hilarious.
On the other hand,
it's like,
he's funny in a different way than you.
Like if you deliver that exact same speech,
it would not be the same.
I don't think,
you know what I mean?
Yeah.
Like he's got like that,
like his voice is just hilariously.
It's not a weird voice.
It's just the way he delivers things is just so funny.
It's so interesting.
Like we grew up in the same county and basically the same zip code,
and we have two different accents.
Like why does he have that accent?
It makes no sense.
Well, yeah, that is weird because do his parents have a decent accent like that too?
Maybe it's just your mom.
Like she doesn't have an accent.
So if she talked to you and you learned to say pajamas instead of pajamas or whatever,
I don't know.
Because my kids say pajamas.
And I'm like, what's that about?
It's because of Catherine.
Yeah, he did such a good job.
Yeah, it was just fun to see like, dang, this is where I get it from in a way.
Yeah, 100%.
I feel like what works best for me with stand-up is storytelling.
And that's what my dad just crushed.
And everybody loved it.
And we got to give a million shadows to your mom it sounded like yeah she just did an amazing job throughout the
entire day i mean the the decorations everything were all her design and implementation and like
they were the flowers looked amazing you did them all yeah katherine noticed specifically
the flowers were elevated on the table so you could see everybody at the table, which is a veteran pro move.
It was just a beautiful time.
And I know that as much work as your dad put into that speech,
your mom put hours and hours into the planning of everything.
It was really fun to see the binder that we talked about.
How big was this thing?
It wasn't crazy thick, but it was super thorough.
There was even a page on it, a couple pages dedicated to,
hey, if you don't know what to do, here are some random jobs for you.
Even just miscellaneous tasks.
That is a great idea.
Come back to this page.
Hey, go look at the last page of the binder.
Find something in there.
I love that.
Yeah, don't ask me.
Ask page 48.
It's a way of scaling yourself, I guess.
That's cool. Go look at
the binder. And yeah, there were pictures in it, how to set the table, how to fold the napkins.
Yeah. Color coded, you know. Which is amazing because is your mom,
like what's her job at the school? So she was a, like a reading, like title,
is it title one or title nine? Which is the one about reading? One of the titles.
Yeah. The chapter nine, I think is yeah chapter nine uh the derrick zoolander center for kids who can't read
good she was kind of in charge of that but now she's like our superintendent's like assistant
okay so yeah she is very regimented like okay i didn't realize that because i was like that's
amazing that she you know just pulled this out of her hat yeah she's Yeah. She's, she's had it in the hat for a while.
Had it in the hat for a long time.
And yeah, anyway, it was great.
They crushed it.
It was just so fun.
And yeah, I got to see you and Isaac.
The coops were there.
It's a lot of fun.
Yeah.
It was fun for on our side, you know, there was not a ton of people there that we knew.
And so it's just a different vibe of a wedding when you go like that, but it made us have
a lot more deep conversation or like, you know, less, less like, dude, how are you doing? Oh, good to see you. You know? And more
like, oh, let's talk to Isaac for an hour. You know, let's, let's figure this out. So I got to
know some new people. There were some ghosties at our table, which was fun. Megan, just Megan,
her husband didn't listen, but he was interested in talking about it. Okay, Sean. So, um, yeah, shout out to Megan and Sean. Cool people. And yeah, it was a good time. Uh, Rachel's dad was pumped because
he got to reunite with uncle John and they just hung out together the whole day. By the end of
it, Rachel was calling them her gay uncles because they were just together the whole time.
Just hanging out. Yeah. Oh man. There. Steve is hilarious, dude. I, Steve, I'm going to,
I'm going to make a funny, I'm going to kind of make fun of you here. Okay. Steve man. There, Steve is hilarious, dude. I, Steve, I'm going to, I'm going to make a funny,
I'm going to kind of make fun of you here. Okay. Steve coop. Um, only it's a small thing
and maybe I misinterpreted what he was saying. Um, but we were talking about randomly heavy
metal bands or something. I don't know how it came up. Um, how did it come up? It doesn't matter.
Oh, it, the, it came up because of you guys talking about the, uh, Uber ride where you guys were going nuts. Um, and Steve's like, man, I just can't,
I can't understand that kind of music and why people enjoy. I was like, yeah, me neither.
Like, I don't even understand. I don't even know if people are good or not when they're
those kinds of musicians. I just, it just all sounds so bad to me. And, uh, he's like,
there's somebody, uh, there's a kid, a student at my school and he's in a band and the music they do, they call it scream. Oh, scream. Oh, it was like, it was like one
of those things. It was like, and maybe, maybe I misinterpreted. I'm going to sneeze.
Oh, maybe I misinterpreted. I was like, Hey, he, he knew. And it was just loud and I couldn't hear,
but the way he said it, like, it was like, I've never heard of this idea before.
And all of a sudden, there's this new word called Screamo.
And it's like, oh, yeah, I know Screamo.
Yeah, that's crazy.
I've heard of it.
So anyway, just giving Steve a hard time for that one.
But I mean, why would he listen to Screamo or know anything about Screamo?
Screamo.
Screamo.
That just reminded me, I meant to post this to my Instagram story at some point.
I haven't done it yet,
so I'll just talk about it on the podcast.
This is a collection of text
over the course of not a very long time at all,
just from Rachel,
texting me different things about her dad.
It's like when I'm not there,
she's back in Iowa, whatever.
So one text a couple weekends ago.
My dad is currently watching Imagine Dragons live
from Vegas on Hulu.
That's so funny.
That's amazing.
Because is he a big Imagine Dragons fan?
Probably not.
Does he know two songs by them?
And he's like, I want to hear those.
Is he just like, well, let's just see what concerts are like these days.
The very next day, get a text from Rachel.
My dad just ran his checkbook over with a lawnmower.
I mean, you can't even make that up.
I wouldn't have thought to put those two items together.
And he's got a little bit of a northern accent,
so he's going to be like, oh, no.
Oh, no.
Angie, we're going to need a new checkbook from the bank.
Oh, it's in shreds.
It's shredded to pieces. It's shredded to pieces.
It's shredded to pieces.
The old screamo music is like that too.
From the same weekend.
This one's not quite as good,
but my dad is watching the Gene Shorts
doing things in reverse video
and he has to pause it after every joke and think about it.
That's fair.
That's kind of what we want sometimes.
It's like, you got to watch this twice to get it
all yeah and then i think the last one uh my dad just said pickles are my fentanyl so
i think he loves them okay so there you go there's a little steve coop for you i love it man he's the
best he's the yeah her her parents are awesome yeah they're fun they were so helpful the day
of the wedding too they came down just to kind of help they're fun. They were so helpful the day of the wedding, too.
They came down just to kind of help.
They're awesome.
That's great.
Tim also came down because they're in Colorado right now.
They're on a family vacation.
They're staying in the same hotel as pretty much everyone else.
Caitlin's getting her makeup done that morning,
goes down to the lobby to go grab something,
and bumps into just Tim.
And Caitlin is just by herself with all of her makeup and hair
done. And they just run into each other. And Caitlin's like,
Tim? And I feel like he was like,
uh, hi. I know I'm
not really supposed to be seeing you and I'm not invited to the wedding, but
it's okay. You don't have to. This is like a first look kind of thing?
Yeah.
Oh, do you know about Steve Koop getting in the first look?
Did you hear about this?
No.
He left, you know, about noon for jimmy johns yeah good call steve
good call and his beach club is my favorite there walking back to the venue you know he's probably
got his like checkered colored shirt on and like you know 11 inch inseam like cargo jean shorts
you know walking back in and he sees c he sees Caitlin on the patio of the venue.
Yeah.
And I think he's just kind of waving,
oh, Caitlin, you look beautiful.
It turns out that was the exact time
that Brayden was doing his first look with her.
And he said, he realized that halfway through,
he realized, oh, wait, she's got her back turned to Brayden.
And so he's like, for for sure in the pictures and videos.
Oh my goodness.
In the background, just waving at Caitlin.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Like Brayden's like tapping her on the shoulder.
She's like, just a minute.
Thank you, Steve.
Yeah.
Appreciate it.
What'd you get?
The Jimmy, the Jimmy special.
Okay.
Okay.
Jalapeno chips.
Those are good.
The kettle, the kettle chips are great there.
Yeah.
Okay. We'll see in a few hours. Oh myapeno chips. Those are good. The kettle chips are great there. Yeah. Okay.
We'll see you in a few hours.
Oh, my gosh.
Wow.
That's so funny.
Yeah.
That's amazing.
Yeah.
Last thing about the wedding really quickly.
We wrap it up.
You had left at this point.
Yeah.
But Caitlin had someone kind of in charge of Georgia, the dog.
They brought the dog there at the end of the night.
I go back to kind of gather my things.
The wedding's almost over.
Georgia's back in her groomsman suite.
I'm like, oh, this is fun.
I'm kind of getting some good time with Georgia.
I say what's up to some groomsmen.
I leave.
I come back.
It's time to pick up the wedding.
I'm like, I'm going to do it in some comfy shoes.
We'll get to that later.
And Georgia's not in there.
I'm like, man and this like the
groomsman's suite exits like to the outdoors oh boy and that door is open yeah so i was like okay
georgia has gotten out and we're in the middle of kansas city oh my gosh this is not good like
yeah very busy road real close to the yeah caitlin's had a perfect day this would definitely
ruin it and so i just kind of start looking for ge and on my own, eventually Caitlin comes in to get Georgia. And then I would
kind of have to spill the beans. Like, I don't know where he is. And so then just all out search
party starts for like probably 15 minutes. Everyone who stole at the wedding, the entire
wedding party, we're just scouring everywhere trying to find Caitlin's dog. And it was kind
of stressful. And I was like, man, this would really be a downer to end Caitlin's day.
But ended up, Georgia had found his way down to a little nightclub down the street.
No way.
So we're all stressed, worried, freaking out.
Georgia might have had the best night of his life.
He was over there probably taking tequila shots, just being the club mascot.
And yeah, some guy in line to get into the nightclub was holding him.
Really?
And that's how we found him.
Southwest Boulevard or on like that little alleyway?
Oh, yeah.
It was, it's the alleyway in Southwest.
Okay.
Yeah.
Boulevard right there.
But do you think they find them like on the main street?
Do you know?
Those people were just like in line at that, like it's on the corner,
but they were in line holding them.
Wow, dude. Good. I'm glad it has a happy ending.
Yeah.
Because that would be something.
Yeah. You have a perfect wedding day. Can't wait to go off,
live the rest of your life. Like, oh, my dog's dead.
Or just missing, you know, and just assume the worst.
Wow. That's, that's wild wild jake when you were describing the searching
for georgia i was like i could just hear the music from the truman show when they're like all
looking for truman like scouring the city i don't know if you guys have seen that but i i've seen it
a long time ago but i yeah i like that i was kind of doing that come here georgia come on georgia
come on come on come on tim. Come here, Tymon.
Time after time.
I just wish there was a song called Time After Time.
Surely there's something with that.
I've had some fun times with Bo lately that I want to share.
Well, first of all, I've been unironically somehow getting in this habit of calling him son.
And I kind of love it.
I'm like, come on, son.
Hey, son. And it's just like, who am how hot is that not that hot okay way sweeter than I was probably because it's lukewarm now
Jake's got some kind of throat coat honey lemon mint mint something you taste the lavender you
thought maybe there's some lavender in there I don don't know what I taste. Keep going, son. Uh, yeah, thanks. Um, yeah, just like, come on, son. What are you doing, son? Oh,
yeah, that's right, son. You know, whatever. I'm like, who am I like Kevin Costner and Yellowstone
or something, but, um, kind of love it. So, um, yeah, we just, we just having good times. We went
to flying cow the other day, um, visited our, our boy, Peter Coring Coring, the man, Peter Coring, one of our good friends.
And I woke him up from his nap and he's just been a troublemaker lately. And so I like
incentivized him. I was like, listen, I'm going to tell you a secret and you can't like, you're
the only other person that knows, but if you eat well tonight and you know, we eat quickly and you
have a good attitude and you are obedient, then we're all going to go to ice cream afterwards. Bo almost spilled the beans five seconds later. Like Hattie walked in, you
know, cause it's like right after his nap, how you walked in. Hey buddy, how was your nap? And he
goes, we're going to go get, and I was like, stop. He goes, ah, I know a secret that you don't know
Hattie. I just rubbed it in her face for two hours. Um, but eventually there was cute,
like classic Hattie. Like she went all Nancy drew and she's like, okay. And it was like trying to
get all these clues. Cause I said like, we thought about walking there, but we're going to drive.
She's like, okay. So it's probably not Andy's cause that's too far away. So it's somewhere
like kind of close, you know, like, and she was, she was like, dad, can you write down all the
clues for me that in my journal? And then she was like, can you write my hunch?
My hunch is this, whatever.
So it was pretty fun.
And then Nancy Drew.
That's fun.
Yeah.
Then we also, Bo and I, it was kind of a rite of passage.
So long story short, I'm clearing out stuff from the storage unit that I have.
When I first started renting out the storage unit, I have. When I first started buying or renting out
the storage unit, $175 a month, reasonable, not, not nothing, but I can, I can put that into the
budget and be just fine. Guess how much it's gone up to? It is now $180 a month. It is now $325 a
month. Wow. In like maybe two years. That's crazy. They're almost doubling their price on me. And I
finally said, no more,
no way I'm out of here. And so I was clearing it out this past weekend. Um, and Bo wanted to come
with me. He thought it was really cool. Like, well, this garage somewhere that you have all
this stuff. And so we're trying to potty train them. We get done loading stuff up. I put him
in his car seat and he's like, dad, I gotta go potty. And there's no, there's no bathrooms in
sight. And I got to tell him, I was like, Bo, the fun thing about being a boy
is that you can go potty almost anywhere.
And so, I mean, it's just this secluded storage lot.
I mean, it's outside, obviously.
There's no one else around.
And so I'm just like,
we're just gonna go right here in the road.
He's like, right here in the road?
Like, he let's not like Scooby-Doo, right here in the road?
That's so funny.
You guys peed outside together.
Not together.
I didn't do it with him.
I just, but he got to go and he could not wait to tell Catherine.
And I tried to explain to him later.
I was like, but listen, you can't just pull down your pants and go anywhere.
Okay.
You can't do it on like the church part.
You know, when you're on the playground at church, you can't just anywhere that they have bathrooms, you have to use the
bathroom. He was like, okay, okay. Uh, but it was like this wonderful rite of passage of like, oh,
it was, it was like, it was like, I think we got back in the car, buckled him in,
got in my car. See, I turned back to him with knuckles. I was like, it's fun being a boy,
isn't it? He's like, yeah, it's fun being a boy. Yeah. Good parking lot. Yeah. Yeah.
He got a little bit on his cowboy boots. No problem. I was like, it's fun being a boy, isn't it? He's like, yeah, it's fun being a boy. Yeah, good parking lot. Yeah, yeah. He got a little bit on his cowboy boots.
No problem.
I was like, they'll drive.
It'll be fine.
That's what cowboys do.
It's sterile.
That's what I've been telling him a lot lately is like,
like anytime I'm trying to, he's very convincible right now.
I either use the Patrick Mahomes angle or the cowboy angle
where like recently he got some Adidas,
like sandal shoe kind of things.
And he wasn't so sure you wanted to wear them. I was like, well, you know, Patrick Mahomes,
where's that brand? He likes, I think Patrick Mahomes, I have those exact same shoes. And so
now he's like wearing them all the time. Like, yeah, these are Patrick Mahomes shoes and same
with cowboy stuff. He really wanted to wear his jeans the other day. It was like 95 degrees. I was,
he's like, I want to be a cowboy. And I'm like, well, you know, sometimes cowboys wear these khaki colored shorts because they like
to be out in the desert and they like, you know, sand get sand on them. They can't really tell
because they have the shorts on. So how about we wear your cowboy shorts? He's like, okay,
I'll wear the cowboy. I'm like, awesome. You're not going to fall for that in six months. But
right now you're in the sweet spot of I can convince you.
I can sell you on anything.
You know, cowboys love green beans.
You know how cowboys are really big and strong?
It's because of the vegetables they eat every single day.
You got to eat them.
And by the way, they don't slap their sisters in the face either.
Cowboys are big on that and in American meat too.
Oh yeah.
That's what cowboys are into.
They eat a lot of good American meat.
American cowboys,
as far as I know.
Well,
which is the best kind of cowboys.
It is.
And they got it.
They get all sorts of meat.
These cowboys do.
They get it from good ranchers.com.
Yes,
they do.
They get,
they get beef,
they get steak,
they get organic chicken,
and they also get prime pork.
Prime pork,
baby.
Yeah. If you don't know prime pork's here at Good Ranchers,
goodranchers.com.
We got prime pork delivered just this past week,
and my goodness, there's something about it, dude.
They have this pork belly ground beef mixture
that you can make pork belly burgers with.
Catherine is elated, if I may say so myself.
Go nuts.
If you know what I mean.
She is elated, brother I may say so myself, if you know what I mean, she is elated brother. Um,
it is, it is American meat delivered. You guys know good ranchers by now, you know,
the high quality they make or they sell, they cultivate. Uh, I was just hanging out with my
friend, Greg Peterson the other day. He's a, he's American rancher himself. And he is very,
very thankful that we are supported by good ranch. Yeah. He's like, and he's very, very thankful that we are supported by Good Ranchers. Really? Yeah, and he's very into all the process.

but it's pork and it's nuts.
So try out the prime pork if you've already gotten the chicken, the beef,

Um,

Elated.
She was elated as well.

Cool.
Um,
I had quite the week last week Brad
it was
it was so fun
I got to do so many cool things
Tacoma
our Mood Swings Club sponsor
flew in from Finland
to shoot with us
for two full days
so
your boy
Jonas
yes
Jonas is back
which we talked about him before
I don't remember the context exactly
but I remember you doing
the Top Gun theme song
while just singing the words Jonas do you remember that? yeah I don't remember the context exactly but i remember you doing the top gun theme song while just singing the words jonas do you remember that yeah i don't know
so he was back and it was fun to see him he works in marketing for tacoma and so he was out with us
both days and poor guy first of all i think like the hottest it ever gets in finland where he lives
it's like 80 degrees Fahrenheit. And he came last
week and it was like 98 and humid both
days. We're out there from 9 to 5.
So he was cooking.
It was also one of those things, you know, we're like,
how hot does it get in Finland? He's like, oh, maybe
25, 26.
And we don't know Celsius. We're like, oh my god,
no way. Okay, that
is pretty different. Like, I'll look this up later.
But he was the man.
I wanted to follow up with him about a few things
because when I saw him last in January,
it was the first time he'd ever eaten Chick-fil-A.
And I think I talked about it on the podcast,
but he was kind of just like,
oh, you know, eight out of 10.
I was like, eight out of 10?
This is the best we have to offer.
What kind of Finnish fast food is that?
Yeah, I remember he was very impressed
with the speed that it was delivering. Exactly. Yeah, he was like, no, this is not mine. They're like, no, this Finnish fast food is that? Yeah, I remember he was very impressed with the speed that it was delivering.
Exactly.
Yeah, he was like, no, this is not mine.
They're like, no, this is...
He's like, no, I just ordered.
Like, no, that's how it works here.
But then he was like, but Chipotle, last time I come to America, seven days in a row.
Seven days in a row.
He said he had seven days in a row.
It's like his security blanket when he comes here.
He was like, dude, I can't... we don't have anything like this in Finland.
It would do so well.
It's amazing.
He was like, he's also, I think, lactose intolerant.
And so that's just a great, he can just get some meat and rice and salsa.
And it's just the best meal for him.
Yeah, you're like, oh, so yeah. I don't know how to word it,
but that was the whole story last time you guys were together
was that everyone just ate each other's chipotle
and so you had to eat a steak one.
That's right.
And so he's kind of like picky too,
yet he just went for it.
Yeah, I wonder what he had last time in January.
He had a little cheese.
I had a little lactose in my Rito.
Yeah, it was great.
It was really fun shooting with them it was two days
right full days two full days of shooting which was a lot of fun but long days and not able to get
as much other stuff done but uh as part of it and then a couple days later uh dude perfect was in
town dj mike hell hooks uh isa Isaac and I up with some backstage passes.
And it was so cool.
I am not going to try and pretend like, I mean, yeah, they're just celebrities.
I mean, it's just another day for me.
I'm used to big arenas.
Yeah, it is not that.
It was so, so cool.
I've done 40,000 person stadiums.
It was awesome.
It was so cool to have.
So we saw on the wall later there's different you know dude
perfect's a big enough show like there's different types of passes like you can have i was just about
to ask this you know it's like dwight like uh level seven clearance don't get excited that's
out of 20 or whatever he says they have all types of different clearances and we look and ours was
the top one because some of them like you were yeah you could go backstage but you needed a what
they call it uh a host or something like someone to like walk you around sure and ours said no host
yes catering yeah we're allowed to eat and we didn't anyone walking us around i i want that
in my twitter bio like no host yes cater yes to cater yeah so it's pretty cool that michael
hooked us up like that but he is out there performing pre-show
oh that was another thing as soon as we get there we get down our seats we walk onto the floor to
say what's up to michael it already feels so cool because everyone's seated we're the only people
standing right so we're already getting a ton of eyeballs on us it feels a little weird like all
right just get to michael hurry hurry as soon as we like we dap at michael like dude what's up it
is so good to see you i get in there top of my shoulder and I'm like, he's like Jake.
And I was like, oh, what's up?
And he looks like pretty familiar in like a recent way, but I can't.
And then he's like, it's Graydon, Prince of Time.
Oh, I was like, oh my gosh, that makes sense.
Cause I saw you like four days ago.
You're like, I know your face, but man, Graydon is making his way on the podcast.
Yes.
Slowly but surely he will become a co-host.
Right.
Yeah, Jake's not feeling good next time.
You know, timing still stays back behind the camera.
We just put Graydon up here, yeah.
Yeah, so it was fun, though.
Unfortunately, it was kind of right
when I was reuniting with Mikel.
I'm also...
So Graydon needs to work on his timing.
Well, no, I don't know.
I don't know what he was supposed to do.
It was great.
It was fine.
And so I talked to him for a little bit,
but also Mikel needed to start DJing in like two minutes.
So I was like,
Hey,
I'll talk to you later.
This is so fun.
You know?
And I was like,
who are you here with?
He's like my family.
I was like,
where are they?
And then he points like six inches away from like here.
I was like,
Oh,
right.
Oh,
okay.
You have good seats.
Within earshot.
Okay,
cool.
Nice to meet all of you.
It was really fun.
He was the man.
So,
um,
so then Mike L was like,
all right,
I got to do like a 30 minute set. I'll see you guys like after the show. So then Mikel's like, all right, I got to do like a 30-minute set.
I'll see you guys after the show.
So then we just have these backstage passes.
We're like, I guess we'll just go backstage, I guess.
And then you feel like you need a host probably.
You're like, I promise we're supposed to be here.
We're with Mikel.
He's over there, though.
We didn't understand that our passes were actually stickers until way too far into it
because we kept holding
them up and showing oh i thought it would be a lanyard no yeah it was like a pull and peel and
like you put it on your chest pull and peel to a cherry twizzlers twizzlers and so i'm keeping
having like digging my pocket ah sorry i get it i get it yep i perform in theaters here you go
and then i started notice later like everyone else just has it like taped on themselves like
anyway i mean backstage of an arena like this is where you know a lot of big
things happen the t-mobile center it is so confusing and isaac and i just by ourselves
just walking around and we you just open a door and you don't know what you're gonna see on the
other side of it so sometimes you open it and it's just like uh just like a bunch of guys in hard
hats like what all right oh hey that's
not too perfect yeah there's five of them now minute work yeah and they would just be like
you know part of the crew he opened up some doors and it's just like whoa there's just like a buffet
of like food in here yes catering yes catering yeah um eventually uh we did find the dudes and
they could not have been nicer not even in just like a polite way
but like i feel like probably three or four of them were like oh jake what's up dude we heard
you're coming this is so fun cool like they were like excited to see me and pretended like we were
good friends and yeah i think mike ellis probably talked us up a little bit but they seem familiar
with the content kobe cotton and a couple other guys talked like oh yeah we listen to correct
opinions every now and then i was like i didn I didn't realize that. That's pretty fun.
Wow. Did you call them dudes
all night?
You're like, what's up dudes?
So which dude are you
again? What's your dude name? So nice to
meet all you dudes. Nice to meet you, Kobe dude.
Just always putting dude at the end.
What's your name? I'm Kobe. Okay.
Nice to meet you, dude. Yeah. Oh, hey, dude.
So it must be dude. Yeah. And I assume you must be Kobe's twin. Okay to meet you, dude. Yeah. Oh, hey, dude. So it must be dude. Yeah.
And I assume you must be Kobe's twin.
Okay, you must be dude.
Yeah.
Awesome.
Dude too.
So yeah, they were just...
That's crazy.
Nothing but amazing things to say about them.
They were just awesome.
They were so just normal and easy to talk to and gave us so much of their time and their
energy.
And even during intermission, Isaac and I were like, well, you want to pop backstage
again?
Pop backstage, talk to him again.
Cool.
So yeah, it was just really fun.
So you were in the audience though during the show?
The first half of the show,
we were in the audience and got to see it all.
And the second half of the show,
we watched it from backstage and on all the monitors
and got to see them do all their outfit changes.
Oh, okay.
It was fun also from a production standpoint,
like looking at what Trey and I have,
which is nothing. Right. We microphone one piano i guess right and then
this is just like i mean they they build a screen every night they build a stage every night there's
all these props all this craziness so it's really impressive so okay i'm i'm just i'm really curious
about the backstage yeah the the scene backstage like. You could tell me there were four people backstage that had passes,
or you could tell me there were 35, and I would believe you.
I don't have any idea of how many people have these backstage passes.
Are some of them fans that paid a lot of money to have backstage passes,
or is it all just hookups, you think?
Not hookups, dude perfect, not like that.
They're married.
Come on, dudes. Dudes. Just like. Perfect. Not like that. They're married. Come on dudes. Um, dudes just, you know,
like they got hooked up with a ticket like you did. Um, yeah.
You're asking good questions.
There was only one other crew that also got like kind of the all access,
like a friend, you know, comps tickets kind of thing found out later.
So a guy named, I asked him, I was like, Chad, what's your last name?
And he's like, everyone just calls me hashtag Chad. It's like, okay.
So I don't know what it, but he is like, he's like in charge of all the brand partnerships with the I was like, Chad, what's your last name? And he's like, everyone just calls me hashtag Chad. I was like, okay. So I don't know what, but he is like,
he's like in charge of all the brand partnerships
with the dudes and like, he used to work at Callaway.
Seems like probably a big deal.
So nice.
Could not have been the cooler guy.
I had so much fun talking to him.
But he was saying, he's like, yeah,
there's other people sitting with you.
Dude, perfect.
We're actually seeking investors for the first time ever
because we're trying to do some really big things
and things that just like we don't have the money for.
Right now, all five dudes own all the equity.
They've never given it up, but they're okay with it now
because they just want to do bigger and better things.
We might have been brushing shoulders
and sitting next to people worth a billion dollars.
Billionaires, yeah.
Because some guy in a really tight pink shirt
and smooth arms was like, Patrick, what's your name oh okay i was like jake and you know he gets he
what did he say he's like uh dang it i can't remember now isaac had like an isaac moment
though because these guys are like definitely not from around here and he's like where you guys
based and isaac's like uh i'm in olathe and he's in shnee. And I was like, what about you? And he's like, Dallas.
And I was like, oh.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay, here.
Yeah.
Right here.
Kansas City.
Nearby.
Just my home's, I don't know,
fountains, jazz, barbecue.
I don't know.
I'm just saying things now.
Good to meet you, Patrick.
Nice arms.
It was something like that.
It was kind of funny.
But yeah, it was just fun.
It was just felt like that. Oh, so yeah, it was just fun. It was just felt like that.
Oh,
so yeah, the investors were there as far as other people back there.
Not a lot of other people hanging out except for like,
as soon as the show was over,
all this,
the,
the corridors come crawling with everybody in hard hats because they need
such a crew to tear all this down.
Right.
That was crazy.
It's a one night thing.
Yep.
They're on to the next city next day.
Interesting.
So these people are just literally just waiting for the show to be over to do their job again.
Yeah.
I think you would have found it really interesting too.
Oh, 100%.
It was really cool.
Yeah.
So did you get to see – I guess you said you saw them at intermission.
You didn't see them beforehand.
I mean you saw them like before, before.
But like I'd just be so curious.
I would get so nervous.
Like getting up – even like doing standup or something
like you're so used to it, but at the same time, like, man, I don't know.
I just, I still get like serious or like concentrated or like, Hey, I need to remember all the things
we're doing here.
Did you see any of that from them or were they pretty laid back even within the show?
I mean, it's, I don't want to call what they do easy, but I think it's pretty dialed in and there is an element to it like probably half the show
is just them doing like trick shots and athletic things where it's like they
don't need to be nervous about this like you just like try to throw the ball in
the hoop I think yeah it's yeah don't say it's easy say it's
natural for them though maybe that's maybe because I think sometimes it's
like well you guys are a podcast you guys talk for an hour and a half
that seems so easy it's like's like, it's natural.
I don't know if it's easy for everybody to do everything that people,
you know what I'm saying?
Yeah.
So it was just interesting seeing like,
I know how long it took me to build a 30 minute set of standup comedy and
how much effort that takes.
And it's seeing them like they did probably a 10 to 15 minute stick on
stage where all they did was just compare chips.
Yeah.
And it's all just like memorized dialogue of like,
okay, who I, my third pick is going to be Takis.
Who else likes Takis?
And it's like, dang, that would be nice
if that's all I had to do every night on stage
is just talk about chips.
Was there any chip that was just like,
people did not like it.
People booed it.
What was it? Something that got people going.
I remember the highlights.
They love Takis.
They have a cool range Doritos.
The show is very catered to like probably five to 10 year olds.
Yeah.
And they crush it.
Right.
They do a good job with them.
Yeah.
But yeah, they were not nervous at all.
Cause I was like, when you guys go on, they're like, oh, probably 10 minutes.
I was like, oh, Hey, I'll get out of here.
Let you guys focus.
Like, oh no, you're good.
Yeah.
I was like, are you just being nice?
Like, no, no, it's fine.
We'll, we'll be all right.
I love that.
They like knew your name. Yeah. It's like, are you just being nice? Like, no, no, it's fine. We'll, we'll be all right. I love that. They like knew your name.
Yeah.
Like there's just something about like, I don't know exactly like what you're talking
about.
Like, Hey Jake.
Yeah.
We heard you were coming.
Like something about that feeling.
They've been coming up to me first and be like, Jake, I'm glad you made it.
You know, that, that is one of the greatest things that somebody could do in my opinion.
Like, yeah, they left such a good impression.
Yeah.
Let me get, because like that, that to me, they could easily have been very standoffish and you would have been like i
understand they're dude perfect like they're like some of the biggest youtubers in the world yeah
they're they're a really big deal they are concentrating they have thousands of people
out here about to see them perform they need to do xyz and instead they're just like hey like
we we know your name like uh Like, and you're like,
I don't even remember your name, dude. Which dude, which dude, you're just tall, dude. You're,
you're beardy, dude. You know, like you're, yeah, you're, you're, you're twin dudes.
Yeah. They were great. And even after the show, I feel like they really like,
we're just down to hang out more and we're really keeping the energy going. I was like,
I can't believe this come to find find out. This answers another many questions. They sell, I think, 50 ultra VIP tickets every night.
And all they do is, I shouldn't say all they do,
it's about a 45-minute press conference kind of thing
where all these VIPs get in a room
and they get to ask the dudes any question.
And it's just like a very casual back and forth
for just these VIPs.
And so I learned, I think they kind of have to keep the energy up
because they have to wait for 15,000 people to clear out of the arena.
And once that's all done, now they have to go to do the VIP press conference.
So I think they kind of needed, like, let's keep talking.
Like, you know, we got to keep this going a little bit.
Did you sit in on that?
No, I didn't.
Okay.
I didn't.
I'd just be curious, like, yeah.
It said, yes, catering, no press conference.
So I'd just be curious what kind
of questions they're asking. Cause it may be just kid questions or it might be some of each or
whatever. Yeah. Last thing just out of this, uh, really cool at the end of the show. So the
confetti goes off. All right. That's it. Thank you. We're dude. Perfect. Also, if you guys are
interested, hang out, we'll be back in just a few minutes. We're going to share a little bit about
what our faith means to us. I was going to ask about this. Yeah. Yeah. And so they did. And it wasn't like a video,
a pre-recorded video. Like they really did come out and probably for five to 10 minutes, just like
shared the gospel, shared their faith. They had a Bible out. They were talking about verses and
seemed like 80 to 90% of the people were still in the room and stayed. And I was like, dang,
that's pretty cool. They do that every single night. Yeah. Did they have some, any sort some any sort of altar call or anything like that like honestly i was doing a lot of my conversating
with hashtag chad during this moment so it was like i could see it going on but chad never really
in the thick of it at this point that's no you're good that's that's that's so cool i think yeah
nothing but so much respect for them right i hope i hope that all the things you're saying we're
never going to be as big as too perfect we We're never going to be a percentage, a fraction as big.
But we might in our heads sometimes, whatever,
if we continue to have success, maybe a part of us in our heads are like,
yeah, we're kind of a big deal.
I hope we do all the things that they just did.
I hope we're more excited to see Graydon than he's excited to see us. Yeah. I hope we are,
you know,
more like unashamed about,
you know,
spreading the truth and the gospel of Christ than,
you know,
anything else,
you know,
I just think that's so cool.
And they're just doing the right thing.
Yeah.
I hope we cater specifically to five to 10 year olds.
I think that's the other thing.
Yes.
Catering.
Yes.
Yeah.
So anyway,
let's do another sponsor. That that's really fun i love yeah i
could we could talk 20 more minutes it's just so cool it's like nothing really that funny how but
i just wanted to share just how cool they are so cool the dudes um let's let's talk about nemi
yes hey nemi last night i'm in the shower and i I realize, hey, I wash my face.
Oh, wow.
I need to go wash my bodies.
Holy cow.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm like, I'm a face wash guy now.
I should do this.
My face got a little sunscreen on it anyway.
I could use some.
Sure.
And then I see, ah, Nimi's over on the sink.
Oh, yeah.
Dang it.
Oh, dang it.
I'm like, well, know rachel has told me
she used to use some face wash in here i'm pretty sure this is it okay i'm looking on the back i'm
like it doesn't say face washing i'm pretty sure it's what rachel is so i use something not name
me related i put it on my face kind of let's sit and as he started to rinse it off it's like
burning my face not Not Nimi.
I learned my lesson.
Hashtag not Nimi.
Don't ever hashtag not Nimi again.
Hashtag always be Nimi.
Tymon, you're going to, you're going to tell your story about hashtag not Nimi.
I'm going to do mine first.
So be thinking of yours.
So the other night I, yeah, I was getting into bed and I, you know, realized I forgot
to wash my face before bed.
I forgot to do the skincare, the quality skincare that Mimi provides.
I was like, oh, I didn't space my wash.
And I was like, you know what?
It's one day.
How bad could it be?
I wake up the next day, 17 boils on my face.
Susan Boyle herself.
Yes, Susan Boyle Anthony. Yes. Susan Boyle Anthony. All over my face. All because I decided for one day, for one iota,
hashtag not Nimi. Please God, give me one day without Nimi. That's a prayer you're going to
regret. You do not want God to grant that wish, that prayer. What's your hashtag not Nimi?
Well, my hashtag not Nimi is I don't use Nimi.
I don't have Nimi.
Gosh dang it, Tymon.
Honestly.
This is an ad read.
And man, my skin is not great.
Yeah.
Oh, that's true.
Yeah.
There's a reason he's not on camera. My hashtag not Nimi is, man, I don't like it.
I don't like hashtag not Nimi.
Okay.
Fair enough.
Fair enough.
If Tymon starts using it, maybe we'll get him a camera.
And we can finally show his face.
I think that's fair.
And if you guys support us by supporting Nimi,
we might be able to afford a camera.
Bingo, bingo, bongo.
If you guys don't know, Nimi is a quality, high-end skincare product.
They make wonderful things.
They make a few different kits.

about me kissing Catherine the other night because I was like,

For those who skipped the ads, first of all, you're an idiot. Second of all, you really missed one there. Might want to go back.
There was something there.
You did about halfway through that Nimi ad. I don't know if they'll let us keep that in, but that was fun. That was hilarious.
Oh, there's something there. that was a good bit okay um this morning i was looking for something in rachel's closet and
i found a knife uh in between her shorts and a shirt in her closet so i think she's trying to
kill me yeah what kind of i got like a you know 16 inch knife or you know we're talking uh just a
standard knife i would say like uh one you would put in a little holster.

Anyway, that's it.
I just was not prepared
to see a steak knife in her
dirty laundry this morning. Did you ask her?
Like, hey, what's going on here?
What did I do? I did text her this morning.
I was like, found a knife in your shorts.
Which, that's
sometimes a consequence. That's kind of
the, in prison, that's what they do to the perverts.
Right, yeah. Like, oh yeah, you hear about him?
He's got a knife in his shorts. It's code. Yeah, it, yeah, you hear about him? He's got a knife and a shorts.
It's code.
Yeah, it's like a metaphor.
Like, that guy's got a knife and a shorts.
I would wait a few minutes.
You know, Sanchez has a knife and a shorts.
I texted Rachel, I found a knife in your closet on a pair of shorts, and she
said, I forgot why I had that knife in there.
Okay. So not too fazed by it.
So yeah, the fact that she knows that there's a knife.
It's not crazy. That's where I keep it.
I didn't know it was on the black shorts.
I was hoping she'd be like,
oh yeah, I couldn't find the scissors,
and I was trying to get some
tags off of that new shirt
I bought or something. Like, oh, okay, sure. All right. But like you could borderline of like
pretty hard, like lacerated on the finger. Yeah. Or you've just stepped on it. It was on the ground
also very bad. I don't know if this is a relatable to most girls, but Rachel, her car is spotless
at all times. There's not a single thing in it, but her closet,
I mean, it looks like a bomb went off in there. Interesting. I don't know if that's how most
girls operate. Car is so clean. Closet is the worst thing I've ever seen. I'm glad
now we don't share a closet. I was, yeah. Okay, good. No, I have not noticed that about Catherine,
but she doesn't have a walk-in closet. We just got like the sliding door kind of things.
Oh yeah. It goes out to your patio. Yeah. French doors. Yeah. Uh, no,
it's like, yeah, you don't talk about, but like, uh, yeah, I don't know. I don't know. I, I,
Catherine, I don't think would do that, but then again, her car's not that clean. So maybe it's
one or the other back and forth. Catherine, your car is fine, but Catherine, I hear you have a kid
two, three kids. Wow. Um, back there doing things and you're bringing
library books and five water bottles. That's amazing that Rachel's car is spotless. I would
have imagined. Yeah. She has water bottles that she leaves in there or something. Um,
yeah, you're going to still find some weird things in there, but it's pretty clean. I,
I had the thought just the other day, randomly, I was thinking about your guys' closets I don't know why, probably because I needed a knife
but I thought to myself
surely Rachel's not using
every single thing
in that huge closet
why doesn't Rachel put half of her
B-team clothes in
the crappy closet that Jake uses
and then you guys share that closet
ever had that thought?
not really, I think I'm pretty just adaptable and like hey you got other stuff in there? closet that Jake uses and then you guys share that closet. Ever had that thought? Not really.
I think I'm pretty just adaptable and like,
Hey,
you got our stuff in there.
That's great.
It's like,
it's like convenient at this point.
Like,
yeah,
we bought a clothing rack for Caitlin when she moved here.
And so,
uh,
I'll have that to use now for my clothes.
So nice.
It's all good.
Great.
Uh,
so we talked about doing before this podcast and I was like, my voice hurts. Brad's like, I'll just tell every story for you. I'll just
do it all for you. And you've been doing great, but yeah, it's fine. Um, I, it is a bummer
that the last time I came to, I think Cincinnati, this was going on. Yeah, that's right. Cause
you hung out with the Swix and you're like, I could barely talk. I know it sucked. I still
hung out. I'm glad I still hung out with him, but I was miserable. Swix had a baby?
Yes, he did.
In their home.
Calloway.
Calloway.
Callie.
Callie.
Callie girl.
Anyway, so I took a little section from my podcast notes, and I texted it to Brad.
And in an effort to save my voice, Brad is going to tell the story using only the shorthand that I wrote in my podcast notes, and we'll see how it compares to the real story.
Okay.
This is one story?
This is one thing?
Yeah, yeah.
This is one, probably just like two-minute story.
Okay.
Okay.
Should I tell people what the words are?
No.
Okay.
I think you should just tell a story,
and then we'll go over it afterwards.
All right.
Yeah.
So, I don't know.
The other day, I got a letter in the mail and it's one of those, like, you know,
I don't think everyone gets these letters.
I think it's kind of like randomized, kind of like a jury duty thing, you know, where
it's like, Hey, you've been selected for jury duty.
I got this letter in the mail.
It looked pretty official.
Um, it was one of those, like you had to perforate the edges and tear off kind of thing.
Yeah.
And, um, it said, you've been selected to, um, participate
in a survey for the census. And I was like, okay, uh, I don't know why this couldn't have been done
in an email. It would have been quicker, but, um, I was like, yeah, sure. You know, whatever.
And so it has all the, you know, boilerplate, like, I don't know if that's the right word,
but like, you know, all the standard, you know, name, whatever age.
But then it asked for my wife's income.
I said less than $5,000 a year.
It asked how many closets do we use for a marriage?
And we said two.
And no, but then this is right.
You're doing pretty good so far.
So then I'm filling it out. And, um, and, and, and Rachel's
like, well, Jake, maybe I should, she, Rachel looked at it. This is, I'm telling the story
from here. Yeah. Um, Jake looked at, she's like, Jake, maybe I should have done this because your
handwriting is so bad. I don't know if they're going to be able to read some of these things.
And I'm like, well, most of them are just boxes that I checked off. There's only like three things
I had to actually write in.
She's like, I still think that I need to do it for us.
You know, this is in Iowa.
Like there's corn, there's Field of Dreams, and there's the census.
Like those things in order.
It's the three C's, corn, costa, and census.
And caucus.
And the caucus, of course.
That's big.
And so she was like, this is a big deal where I'm
from. I, I know like it's a family of origin thing. She's a psychologist. She's counselor.
She knows these things. But anyway, um, so she called up the census and was like, Hey,
can, can you send us out another one of these things? And they said, nice try.
I was like, what, what, what is that supposed to supposed to mean um then now i'm tripping up again
so so they're like yeah nice try buddy like uh we know we know the census scammers out there
and she's like i'm not trying to be a census scammer i don't even know what that is
it sounds nice alliteration um so but they, we know, we know the people that have too
many people that are living in their, in their house. So we think, we think that maybe you're
harboring, you know, somebody who's about to get married, you're harboring a single,
that's what they call it. Harboring a single, H-A-S. And so they're like, do you have anybody
else living there? Kind of an Anne Frank situation.
Does anybody else live there?
And Rachel's like, well, and she's kind of scratching her head at this point
because that's what she does when she lies.
She's like, no, no one's living here.
And they said, nice try.
They said, somebody else is living there,
and we can tell that it's a Hispanic person.
And you're like, what?
What are you talking about?
There's no way that they're like you can't. I would never harbor
an Hispanic person. Yeah.
Harbor Hispanic. H-A-S.
They said this person's single
and we know they're Hispanic because they have a pitbull.
And Rachel's like that seems
terribly stereotypical um borderline prejudice racist but
they that's the census and it's mostly Iowa people that are into it and so you know it's all white
blonde people from Iowa and so all I have to say is they filled out and just they ended up
you guys we had to send in my terrible handwriting census.
And what happened was they rejected it because they said illegible.
So – and then they said this is probably done by a Hispanic that doesn't know how to read.
Is that what you were going to say?
Well done.
Just had a few words to go off of there.
Good try.
I'd say the first third of it, you nailed it.
Pretty good.
We keep getting these things in the mail that say like,
Oh, actually?
Yeah, like this is required by U.S. law from the census.
And the first couple, I was like, is it?
What are they going to do?
You don't get, what are you in for?
Didn't fill out the census.
Yeah, it just doesn't seem like...
Be careful.
He's got a sharp razor over there.
Yeah, he's a slammer.
Yeah.
But then they send like a third one, and this one looks a little different.
The first two, they would send like a packet, and it did seem like I was going to have to do it by hand.
Wow.
And I was like, I'm not doing this.
And then the third one, I opened it up, and it's like, you can do this online.
I was like, all right.
Well, they keep saying it's required by law and it's online.
All right, let's do it.
And then I'm having to fill this out for Rachel and I and just like, you know, a lot of the
easy stuff, name, previous address, current address, whatever.
It's like, does anyone else live in the house?
I'm thinking technically yes, but I'm not about to do this all for Caitlin.
Sure.
And then so I click no.
And then there's the next question
that pops up on the screen.
It says, even just for a couple of months,
like a family or a friend.
And I was like, okay, how does, okay.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And you say no again.
And they're like, really?
Really?
Well, who's that blonde girl around the corner?
Yeah.
Yeah, it's like Bruce Almighty.
Like, are you struggling at work uh do you think
you deserve a raise is your name bruce like okay what's going on but yeah i couldn't believe that
i was like i already answered no then no one else lives here and then they were like okay
just level with this seriously is your sister there just for a few weeks before a wedding
and so at that point i was like geez all. And so then, shouldn't have said yes,
I have to fill out everything for Caitlin now.
Because I kind of thought maybe they'd see this as like,
all right, so it doesn't really count then.
She's only there for a little bit.
But then it was just like, she's part of your household.
Now I'm having to fill out everything for her too.
Okay.
And then, yeah, so many questions about her ethnicity.
So one would be like, all right, drop down menu.
Hispanic, Eastern Asian, Caucasian. I'd say Caucasian. And then it was like, all right, drop down menu, Hispanic, Eastern Asian, Caucasian.
I'd say Caucasian. And then it was like,
all right, what type? I was like,
what type? I don't know.
Send me money for a 23andMe. I've never done it.
How would I know? Yeah, what are the options?
Anglo-Saxon? It wasn't a drop down
menu. It was a short answer. So I go,
I said, Polish IDK.
And they accepted
that for, whoa, Catherine's in the house. Kath? I said, Polish IDK. And they accepted that.
Whoa, Catherine's in the house.
Kath?
That caught me by surprise.
Oh, I bet she's bringing in next week's sponsor, maybe. And Hattie's in the house.
And Rosie's in the house.
Wow.
Wow.
And so pajamas are in the house.
Pajamas.
Oh.
Hey, Hattie.
How's it going?
Come here, baby.
Bo's in the house.
Holy cow.
You want to come talk on the podcast?
Hattie just woke up. Hattie just woke up.
Hattie just woke up.
We had...
Look at Rosie walking.
This is the first time I've seen her walk.
Oh, yeah.
Rosie, show them.
Hi, baby.
Come here.
Rosie, come walk up the walls.
Hey, Bowie.
Hey, Bow.
You say hi?
Hi.
Does every one of your fundraisers taste this good?
Does every one of your...
Yeah, Tymon's got a fun van.
Brought the cargo van today.
Hattie just woke up at 1030.
That a girl.
Hattie, what did we do yesterday?
Went to Worlds of Fun.
Oh, baby.
Wait, if people are from not around Kent City, Hattie, what is Worlds of Fun?
It's like an ice cream place?
It has a bunch of different rides.
Do you remember what it's called?
It's called an...
Amusement park.
Good.
Now we're talking.
Hattie was so brave.
Yeah, did you ride any of them, Hattie?
You look into the microphone so we can hear you.
Did you ride some roller coasters?
I rode two.
I didn't like the first one, but I did like the second one.
That's impressive.
Didn't like the first one. It still powered through.
Yeah, you did.
What was the second one called?
You remember?
It was at Camp Snoopy.
I did an airplane there. Yeah. I did an airplane there.
Yeah, she did an airplane there, and I was like,
Amelia Earhart, is that you?
She thought that was a funny joke.
So we had so much fun, and we stayed up so late.
We went to Raising Cane's at 10 o'clock at night.
Hattie was like, I did not know places were open this late.
I said, Hattie, some places stay open 24 hours a day.
Huh?
So when do they get to sleep?
I had to explain all that to you.
We had so much fun.
I'm so glad that you slept so long so that you can be a good big sister for the rest of the day.
That is nice.
We got so much of this stuff.
That's next week's podcast, Kath.
No, it's fine.
It's going to be awesome.
Oh, is that the... Here, I'll say it in Spanish so they don't know. Is that the
chocolate?
Is it actually? Yeah. Oh, it is?
Okay. Can't really tell.
Hattie wants to say one more thing about
the night, the day at Worlds of Fun.
They had a big party
and they threw some streamers and necklaces
and I got to take home a bunch
of streamers and necklaces. That I got to take home a bunch of streamers and necklaces.
That's fun.
Where are they at now?
In Mom and Dad's room, I think.
What's the deal that we said?
What are we going to do with those streamers?
Put them downstairs, and we pick them up every single time
without anyone helping.
I was like, I bet you got
50 of those streamer
things because they just shot them out. They had this
huge parade. I got 100.
100? I mean, right
as we were about to leave, this massive
awesome carnival parade
happened and they shot them all
off and Hattie could not stop collecting these streamers.
They were in the trees. She would grab them
and everything. I was like, stop getting these.
I said, if you get these,
then you have to be the one to be responsible
because she's like,
I love that I have a brother and a sister.
I'm going to share this.
I was like, it's on you.
You better be the one to clean them all up.
She's going to, aren't you?
Yes.
All right.
Do you have anything else you want to say to the podcast?
You want to say Ghost Runners podcast?
Remember how you say that sometime?
No?
Miss Rachel's not here.
She's in Colorado.
Do you wish you were in Colorado with Miss Rachel?
Yes.

Catherine does.
Catherine and Hattie say yes.
All right, Hattie.

sorry

interruption there, Jacob.
I didn't feel like an interruption.
That was fun.
Yeah.
Added to it.
Added to it.
Did we get any updates from our leather boys?
We didn't, but we're going to go rogue on this.
Okay.
If they don't like it, then we'll fix it.
We have a new sponsor alert.
Give me the...
Oh, gosh.
Where is it?
Come on.
Just guess one.
Top right, I think.
Yeah.
We got a new sponsor.
John Kander.
John Kander Leather Goods.
Just so excited about this new sponsor because we've never had a leather sponsor,
a menswear sponsor. John Kander, they are a wonderful company. I wrote down some of their,
they have kind of four tenants, four commitments, they say. Number one, life, liberty, and the
pursuit of happiness. I've heard of it. Number two, durability. Number three, accessible pricing. Number four, they're environmentally certified.
I don't know off the top of my head, the perfect details of everything, but I know that it's two
men that own this company. One of the men grew up as a missionary's kid in Columbia. And so that's
where they do all of their manufacturing. They produce really high
quality leather goods in Columbia still to this day. It's been crazy, all the obstacles they've
had to go through. Columbia, as you know, is a very interesting country for a lot of different
reasons, but they are able to support Colombians there, do great work with them and, uh, spread the love of Jesus in the
process. And so, um, they make all sorts of different things. Uh, we got sent kind of,
let's call it three different tiers. As far as gifts go. Um, we got sent a wallet, Jake,
you want to show off the wallet? Hey, wallet showtime. Uh, they have three or four different
types of wallets from anything from like very minimalist to Jake's got the, you know, carry it all in your pocket kind of wallet. Yeah. I wanted the thick boy. Um,
and then they also have shoes, they have belts, they have a laptop cases. They have smells like
what you're imagining. Good leather. It smells like good baseball. Whoa. I mean, and these
duffel bags are everything that they make is amazing. I talked to John on the phone for
probably an hour last week, uh, talking to him about leather.
And he's just like, hey, not all leathers create equal.
Some people make things that are from leather, but their shoes are not made with the right
kind of leather.
I didn't know that was even a thing, that there's different kinds of leather.
But there is, and there's some that are more durable, some that aren't, and some that are
more breathable, some that aren't.
Your shoes sometimes stink if you have nice leather shoes.
Not John Kander.
They know what they're doing.
It smells so good.
It smells amazing.
They design these specific shoes for people who are on their feet, who are traveling for their job, or just people that want to be comfortable in their shoes.
Jake and I both talked about on Saturday night, we went to a wedding, Caitlin, Caitlin Carroll's wedding. Um, and how did your feet feel at the end of the night?
Yeah. I had to rent a tuxedo. The shoes came with it and they were made of not leather. They were
made of what felt like cheap plastic and my dogs were barking. Yep. So that's what I talked about
earlier. Like I, I went back into the grimmest three cause like the second it's time to clean
up, I'm getting comfy shoes on. Yes. I, uh, also wore, I was wearing a black
suit, AKA had to have my black tuxedo shoes on and yeah, hurt my feet so bad. Wore my John
Kander shoes to church the next day because you can wear they're versatile as heck. And my goodness,
the difference that it made just putting those shoes on, they're so much more comfortable.
Um, so check them out.
I mean, just high-quality everything.
I mean, from wallets to belts to bags, laptop cases, truly so many different things.
They're doing great work.
They're an American company.
And yeah, they have Mustang brown, nice leather here.
They got all these different things.
It's johnkander.com.
Kander is spelled with a C and an O and an A and an N and a D and an R,
but in a different order than that.
It's C-A-N-D-O-R.
Yes.
johnkander.com.
We'll put, say, promo code GRKC for 15% off.
Yeah, we'll see.
Yep. We haven't got all the details. If nothing else, all the details will be in the description for 15% off. Yeah, we'll see.
We haven't got all the details.
If nothing else, all the details will be in the description by the time this comes out.
So check them out there.
John Kander, go get yourself some good smelling,
high quality leather.
High quality.
He even said, hey, we test these things out.
We make sure quality control is off the roof,
through the roof, on the roof.
Off the chain.
Through the roof.
It's Lazarus style. quality control is off the roof through the roof on the roof off the chain through the roof it's
lazarus style um no they just make sure that only the best shoes only the best products go out to
you also let me just say the duffel bag real fast first of all i got the duffel bag and katherine
was like she's like she basically said that's attractive guys that have duffel bags like that
are she basically said that you can't say what she actually said, but it was a... She was like, yeah, I think she said
like, that's hot. Like, she said something like that. Bedroom,
no.
Our ad reads are going great
today. But also,
she said, like, she was just like, yeah,
she's like, those shoes, I could
get those shoes for my dad. That wallet,
I could get that for Josh. Like, these are
great gifts for men if you
don't know what kind of gifts to
give men. I mean, just high quality leather is always appreciated. Also, this duffel bag,
let me just say one more thing about it. The thing about it, I mean, it's just so many cool
compartments, which guys love compartments. Guys love little pockets for things.
Guys love compartmentalizing.
A hundred percent. That's what wallets are for. but this one, the cool thing about it is it has multiple access points into it.
So you can like zip up the main part of the duffel bag, but you can still access it through
a side zipper, which I think is pretty cool for traveling, things like that.
So check them out.
Johncander.com, promo code GRKC.
We're really excited about it.
So yeah, that's it. um yeah so so uh yeah yeah yay timing what's new with you man
we didn't hear from you what's going on yeah i feel like a lot recently went on vacation that's
why i was gone wisconsin dells super fun oh the dells you ever been to the dells no it's like uh
branson yeah it's like it's really similar to branson just a lot of like random attractions
all just like squished into a town.
Yep.
Love it.
You ever been there before?
Is this new?
Oh, like for the past almost like 10 years.
Oh, you're-
It's like my mom's side vacation every tradition.
Cool.
Every year.
Well, Mom, Tymon's mom is now in the Facebook group, so be careful about what you guys say
in the Facebook group.
Okay.
Because Tymon's mom will reprimand you.
She's pretty strict. No. Um, but yeah. And then since we've been home a lot of
house work, it's a lot. I mean, we're trying to like home stretch, finishing up the house,
still a lot to do, but what, uh, yeah. What's your responsibility within the housework?
I've just been like filling nail holes with putty sanding stuff yeah the tedian yeah yeah love it
good for you so how yeah that's I think like the last 15 20 percent of a house project are what
takes the longest or like what's what's like yeah I mean it's it was initially estimated to be like
a six-week project it's been like three months months classic yeah of course of course yeah I
mean tearing down the wall putting up a new wall, you know, whatever.
Like the big things get done pretty quick.
But it's like, we got to pay.
It was like in the beginning.
It's like, man, this is going to go so fast.
Yeah.
Yep.
Oh, we got to do the baseboards.
It's like the baseboard.
That shouldn't take that long.
But all of a sudden, no one wants to do the base, you know, whatever.
All these different things.
So.
Yeah.
Nice, man.
Yeah.
So what was the, give me some highlights from Wisconsin Dells.
Attractions.
Let's see.
I'm trying to think.
I mean, honestly, we don't do usually a ton of the main attractions.
It's just a lot of family time.
We stay at this Christmas Mountain Village resort place.
Okay.
It's summertime.
Well, July 25th.
What's that, Brad?
Christmas in July.
Half Christmas.
That's what it was for.
Touche.
They go gangbusters at the Dells for Christmas in July. Half Christmas. That's what it was for. They go gangbusters at the Dells for Christmas in July.
It's like mainly a ski resort in the winter.
Okay.
But then it's like also just like really nice in summer.
There's pools and stuff.
But yeah, highlights.
Canoe trip.
Oh.
That was fun.
It wasn't anything like crazy, but at the end, we all like tipped each other on purpose,
which was fun.
Classic.
It was funny.
There was one of the big things.
It was like this year, let's just not do any cliff jumping.
Like it makes the moms nervous, which was like so many of us were so mad about that.
But anyway, it was we were on like the canoe trip on the river.
We see this like place over off to the side where there's a few people jumping off only
like four or five feet maybe
max above the water okay so we were like okay that doesn't count as cliff jumping right like we
it was me and my cousin andrew we were just like okay let's just ask if we can just go over there
exactly so we ask um my mom first she's like oh yeah that'd be fine yeah and then um andrew asks
his mom and she's like so this this cliff is probably 40 50 feet tall like
it's like really big but then there's like a ledge that's like four or five feet up so he asks his
mom like points over there like can we go like where they're jumping and she's like no and we're
just like we're just kind of like okay i guess we're just gonna respect it but like good for you
for respecting it yeah we're like we're like okay we're not gonna say anything but then um i can't remember
but then it was like finally we like explained her like it's it's like five feet it's the four
or five feet above the water she's like oh okay you can so that was that was fun we got to do a
little bit but that was just so funny to me how it was like first of all how she was expecting that
we were actually wanting to jump off this like 50 foot cliff sure um can i throw a gainer off to 50
foot cliff right no i can't do it at home. Jake
showed me this really cool guy that does like these crazy flips. Yeah. Reagan pop off pop off.
Yeah. Yeah. I just want to, I think I can do it. I there's no practice. I don't have to practice.
I think I can just do it with that much time before you hit the water. That's so much time
to flip. Oh yeah. So it's actually easier. It's different. Yeah. I'm trying to think of other
highlights. Time and night is something. Oh, sorry. You got another highlight. Go ahead. Go cool mom it's different yeah yeah i'm trying to think of other highlights time and that's
something oh sorry you got another highlight no go ahead go ahead i just remembered something i
went back in our text thread um because it was it was the day of my sister's wedding so it was
kind of crazy i was helping set up stuff all day but you sent me graydon's phone number yeah you
said hey graydon asked me to give you his number uh-huh is there an expectation i what am i supposed
to say to Brayden?
Or Graydon?
Am I supposed to get his name right?
Yeah, Graydon.
I think it was just like,
he was like,
just, hey, give it to Jake in case,
just in case, I guess.
Okay.
I didn't know if there was
a specific expectation.
Just, okay.
I have Graydon's number.
Yeah, you have power.
I'll take it.
You want to go?
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah.
I want Jake to send it.
Jake has it sent to me.
I was going to say,
I'll talk with Graydon
and see if he's cool with you. text him yeah it was funny one more thing what
it wasn't like a wisconsin dells related thing but when i was in wisconsin dells i got ven mode
a dollar from a random guy started the john b and the message was just is this ghost runners timing
which i thought was so funny really yeah thanks for the dollar i bet it's really hard to find
you on venmo and i bet if somebody finds you,
like they should like consider an accomplishment to be able to send you
money.
Yeah.
It's really hard guys.
Yeah.
I named like time and imps.
Yeah.
There's a ton of them really sort through.
You gotta learn how to spell it.
Like there's no way to find it unless you're on the Facebook group or,
you know,
in some of the comments for YouTube.
So,
or on Instagram,
you can find them.
Please.
Nobody sent me,
but don't send them in.
Because as a high schooler, you don't need money.
You don't value a $5 Venmo more than anybody else.
Honestly, I would rather you request money from me.
Exactly, yeah.
And maybe it goes both ways.
Yeah, I think ghosties will send you money,
ghosties will ask for money either way.
Probably break even.
It'll be fun.
Yeah.
But don't, guys.
Instead of doing that, buy Jake some more wedding gifts.
We need more cookbooks.
We only have 12.
We need more cookbooks, please.
How many of those cookbooks do you use since Rachel's been gone?
Oh, me personally?
Uh-huh.
Dude, it's so hard.
And tell us which one's your favorite.
Well, a lot of people probably think of the Joanna Gaines one
or the exact same one you have of Joanna Gaines.
Either of those two. No.
No.
I like to, you know,
browse around Half-Baked Harvest.
Yeah, HBH is good.
She's got multiple good ones.
Yeah, yeah. Volume 2 is probably my favorite.
Is that the orange one? Yeah, totally.
Yeah.
The sweet potatoes on the cover.
My gosh.
Yeah, that one's nice.
I didn't even want sweet potatoes until I saw that picture, and I was like, I think that's all I want.
Are those to scale?
Or is that, oh, that's the actual size?
Ooh, I gotta.
Yeah.
So, Hot Picked Harvest is good.
Homemaker's Daughter, I like that one.
Okay.
Homemaker's Daughter.
Yeah, that's a good cookbook.
Lips of a Biscuit, they make cookbook. Lips of a Biscuit.
They make good stuff. Lips of a Biscuit, yeah.
It's mainly breakfast stuff, but it's pretty good.
It's Fred Durst's.
Lip Biscuit.
I'm trying to think of what else.
Soup. Soup. Soup.
Just the soup cookbook. You've read that one? Yeah.
Soup's good.
I like soup. Webster's Big Book of Soup.
Yeah.
We registered for that one, and it's been good yeah that's a good name for a product if you're soup connoisseur out there kind of super
super make a soup cookbook that's super good and soupopedia yeah very good man so yeah that's been
fun i just been doing stuff like that
ever since Rachel's been gone.
Honestly, I did.
I picked up a little bit.
I was going to try to pick up her closet
until I saw a steak knife,
but I vacuumed a little bit.
Really?
I threw out an entire red velvet cake this morning.
It was so much cake.
It was like, what size of cake is that?
I mean, it's like a one yard by one yard.
Like a square yard.
It's like a sheet cake that you get for a
wedding. Yeah. When you need more cake, like, yeah, I had 90% of it on my kitchen. I'm a woodworker.
So I would say it's probably 24 inches wide, 36 inches long. You got it. I think probably in
there. Yeah. I think the, uh, the coordinator, someone forgot to ever put out the red velvet
cake. So it didn't get eaten at all at the wedding. And it ended up at my house. Really? It wasn't like extra. It was like, they just did not.
All of it.
The other night they're like, looking like, what happened? What's up with this?
Nobody liked red velvet.
But man, they had some good cheesecakes.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. That was fun.
Those were nice.
Yeah.
Any more from the wedding? I feel like your sister loves to dance.
I didn't. She is so fun. Yeah. It was just fun seeing her. Cause they had a party bus,
just seeing her. So many times we'd be moving around like, Hey, do you want a seat? Oh no,
I need to stand. Yeah. It's just fun. Just, uh, yeah. Getting to live with her when I'm 31,
either the last time I got to live with her was when I was 18, you know? And so it was just so fun, like seeing our similarities, seeing how similar we are,
whether it's living together on a party bus, or even like she came back to the house after the
wedding a couple of days later and we were just debriefing stuff. And it was so fun, like, um,
talking about different aspects of the wedding. And she was talking about when
bridesmaids groups have got split up. There were two photographers and they're shooting stuff. And
you know, not only have I been in several weddings,
I've shot weddings.
And you just know, like, it's so easy to make a little comment
between every picture, between every shot.
But it just, it makes it last so much longer.
As a photographer, you make a comment or as?
No, it's just as one of the groomsmen.
Oh, okay.
It's so easy to crack jokes, but it's like,
this is such a like stereotypical thing that everyone hates.
Oh, really? Okay.
Yeah, because it just like,
all right, groomsmen, we'll get you in here. Yeah, you might have trouble fitting this guy in okay okay can we get in and uh and your name can we get you on button show no name guy you know
whatever like you could just i'm definitely that guy so i'm all right just don't just do it just
get in there um and so i was definitely that guy like while the grooms were taking pictures just
like not saying anything,
just trying to be as respectful as possible.
Just be like an ally with the photographer.
Caitlin says she's doing the same thing
with the bridesmaids.
Cause I guess Brayden even came over one point.
He's like, hey, is everything okay?
Oh.
And she's like, yeah, oh, I'm doing great.
He's like, okay, you just look like really serious.
And she's like, I think I'm just doing one of those things
where like, if I'm really like respectful and quiet, maybe everyone else will like catch on i was like yes i do the exact same thing
i was doing it i was doing it it's so fun we have the same dna it's just fun when you get to connect
over like little things it's like that is exactly how i saw it as well i was doing the same thing
um so yeah a little stuff like that was fun it was just fun to see her just having the best day
of her life and yeah the the day after we all met up at the hotel they're all staying at,
the Fulbrights, the Coops, Caitlin, all the Carols,
and we were just having a good time.
We were about to head out.
And my grandparents were such troopers.
This is my dad's parents.
They weren't able to come to the Iowa wedding.
We showed them the wedding video.
It was so fun.
And yeah, health-wise, they powered through. I know a late night,
early morning, no problem. Everything's great. They're still doing great. The next day, it's like
noon. We go to get their car to bring it around for them. And someone broke into their car
overnight. Bummer. What side of the state line were they staying at? That would have been...
What area is the crossroads? Oh, gosh i believe are in missouri yeah no it was missouri
uh in a parking garage like in the in the hotel like you have to get uh i guess you'd walk into
it but it's somewhat secure like you can't even pull into the parking garage without a hotel key
wow so broken when i think of broken i think of smashing the window or did they just jimmy
something i think they jimmied.
They jimmied.
Broken.
They had to be pretty disappointed criminals because the only things in there were like
an umbrella and a cane, I think.
But all the things for the glove box were all like ripped off.
Not ripped, but just like thrown everywhere.
They stole one thing that they could think of, and it was their garage door opener.
Got them.
Those things are universal.
At first, we were like, idiots.
What are you going to do?
Just go to every house in Kansas City and just wait until one opens?
But then we had a thought.
I was like, I wonder if they could look up their license plate,
figure out where they live, and then try to break into their home.
Or if there was anything else in there that said their address on it.
Yeah.
Ooh, that's true.
Either way, they don't live in Kansas City.
Yeah, how committed of robbers are you here?
Are you going to really go to strafford
um two things uh first of all the thing about caitlin and you haven't i think i think that you
you you get exposed so much more to like your weird idiosyncrasies of like how you grew up once
you're married like there's so many times and it's so fun like to like be with your in-laws and like
learn like they all think that's really normal that this like you've never seen that And it's so fun to be with your in-laws and learn. They all think that's really
normal. You've never seen that movie? It's like, no one's ever seen that movie except for your
family. You just learn all that stuff. And I think that's going to be really fun. So keep more notes
of those things that you realize like, oh, I grew up doing this. And Rachel thinks that is not
anywhere close to things that we do. But Caitlin will get it. But Caitlin, yeah. Then you ask Caitlin and Caitlin thinks it's completely normal.
You read the encyclopedia.
You know it.
Right.
And then second of all, your robbing story in Missouri reminded me of TJ's brother recently
got his car broken into in Missouri.
He lives in Kansas City as well.
And they stole his iPad and some tools that he had.
And because they stole the iPad, it was just like your laptop situation where, like, you got it stolen.
You knew the exact house that it was located in.
TJ's brother literally, like, found it, like, find my iPad, whatever,
was, like, sitting outside these people's houses
and called the cops to, like, wait for the cops to get there.
The cops went inside.
He was pinging the iPad the entire time,
and the cops came out, and they were like,
yeah, sorry, there's nothing we can do.
What?
I don't understand.
I don't understand.
It's kind of like what you said,
where the cop was like,
yeah, that house is known to rob people
and steal from people.
Great.
Okay.
Go get them.
Bust them.
Our criminal justice system
really protects the criminal so many times. It's very interesting. Well, I don't know. Cause they
went inside the house. I don't, I don't, I don't know all the details, but it's just wild that they
like, weren't able to do some things. Like they have proof that it is inside that whatever. Um,
it just was wild to me. Cause I was like, cause, cause TJ was texting me all these things. Cause TJ knows the inside joke of like Missouri versus Kansas and all this stuff. And he's got
a brother that lives on the Missouri side. And so I give him a hard time. And so he's like, yeah,
my brother just got this. And so he was keeping me updated the whole time. And I was like, dude,
I know that your brother thinks that it's like a surefire thing that the cops are coming and
they're going to fix it. But like Jake had a very similar situation and he did not get his laptop taken back. So,
uh, just wild thing. Bummer. So yeah. Um, anyway, we can talk more about, I want, I want to tell
more about the world's a fun thing. Next, next, uh, episode, I think. Cool. Let's do it for now.
Let's just talk about, you know, the wallet, the leather smells great, but you know, what smells
just as good as main tree roasters, beans, beans, beans. Those smell great. Beans.
Beans, beans, beans.

They wanted 30-second ads, so that's it.

Anyway.
Oh, it's so good.
It's Main Street Roasters.

Yes, I do.
Let me pull up my phone.
I'm going to start with a five-star review.
The title says,
Love how random this pod is.
You guys are such good storytellers.
And I, as a 14-year-old boy from
New York, love this podcast. I will listen to this podcast at work and when I'm around customers,
and sometimes I think of your jokes and I just laugh in front of a customer. LOL. Thanks, 14-year-old.
Thank you. Wait, where am I? I had one. That's fine. Oh, here it is. Heather Hewn, 29. If you
aren't listening, you're missing out.
Five-star review.
I'm a new ghostie.
Started listening about a month ago, and I've enjoyed this podcast so much.
I've gone back to the very beginning, and I'm binge listening as I wait for Monday to come back around.
Jake and Brad are without a doubt hilarious.
I've never laughed out loud as much as I do listening to this podcast.
Their content is clean and completely relatable, so do yourself a favor and listen now.
Without a doubt, this podcast is a bright spot in my day.
Thanks, Jake and Brad.
Thanks, Heather.
Thanks, Heather.
That's fun.
Jingle time.
Brad, would you like to end this episode with a jingle?
I would.
Our boy Malcolm Forrester has written quite a few jingles before.
He wrote this one.

That's fun.
Sheesh.
That rap part was supposed to be yours, but I didn't prepare you.
I did see right when I started scrolling, I said Jake's part.
Oh.
Jake's part.
The Brad's got it.
No, you crushed that.
That's really hard.
That was, yeah, honestly.
That got me excited.
Thank you.
That was nice.
Very well written.
Very well performed. I'm not going to toot my own horn because the syllables were very well written,
but I did not practice that once.
I read it over right beforehand right now.
Yeah, that is a difficult song.
That was well done.
I love that song.
If you're not listening to Surfaces, you are not as happy as you could be.
I don't care if you're like, no, I'm plenty happy.
You're not as happy as you could be. If you've never listened to one of their songs, not as happy as you could be. I don't care if you're like, no, I'm plenty happy. You're not as happy as you could be.
If you've never listened to one of their songs,
not as happy as you could be.
Not as happy as you could be.
Sheesh.
Not as happy as you could be.
If you're not listening on Wednesday,
not as happy as you could be.
You're not coming to Grand Debut?
Not as happy as you could be.
Get yourself some soup.
This week. Soup it up. I don't know what I'm going to say. That'll be as good as me. That'll be as him. Get yourself some soup. Yeah.
This week.
Soup it up.
And by soup, you mean nice leather goods or skin care or good rancher's chicken or prime pork.
You might be happy, but you're not as happy as you could be if you have some prime pork.
Or a nice cup of coffee.
Or a great cup of coffee.
Hot cup of coffee.
Ice cup of coffee.
Yeah, we'll be back Wednesday.
Scott's going to join for Schmorz.
Tymon's going to be doing Schmorz.
They're going to have a contest to see who can have
the worst answer.
Someday it'd be fun to
have Scott and Tymon on the same team and just
watch them struggle with like a power dynamic of like
we don't know each other, but we're trying to
be like kind to each other. Like,
hey, how about we go with your answer? It's like, okay.
And then you answer. It's going to be like, I can't believe you guys chose that. So anyway, excited for
Scotty to be here. Thanks for listening to everybody come to Grande boots. Not too late.
We have quite a few, uh, tickets still available if you want to come. And if you honestly, can I
say this, Jake, go ahead. If you can't afford it for whatever reason, if it's, if it's a little
bit out of your price range, let us know. We don't want that to be the sole reason you can't afford it for whatever reason, if it's a little bit out of your price range, let us know.
We don't want that to be the sole reason you can't come.
We want to appreciate people who support us,
and we'd love to talk to you about making it affordable.
So holler at us.
We can have time and Venmo you.
Yeah.
So that'd be fun.
Right out of Timon's paycheck.
If you want to avoid the fees,
credit card fees for Grande Bou,
just send it right to Timon. Speaking of Timon's payment just really quickly you know yesterday was the end of the
month so i texted him like hey man let me know how much we owe you uh for the month you know we
pay time and hourly and we don't pay time and hourly at a strange number it's not 23 48 i did
see the number that you send him and i was like interesting that's not's not a multiple of what we have here. And yeah, Tymon just
sends me some number that makes no mathematical sense.
Tymon's getting a, he's just like, well, I figured I would get
a 2% raise after six months.
That's kind of standard corporate unspoken rule.
You know? And so
I'm like, well, I'll just go ahead and send it and
we'll just talk. I'll see him in the morning. Oh, you have
to ask him about it? Well, no. And then he texted me
probably five minutes after. It's like, dude, I calculated
that way wrong.
Like, let me figure this out.
But I just had the wrong hourly rate.
I think.
Did you kind of like passive aggressively be like, sorry, that was my other job where
I get paid like $5 an hour more for doing like way.
Oh, sorry.
Sorry.
Sorry.
I'm used to being paid way.
Yeah.
I like that.
That tactic.
I did think about making that...
Oh, sorry.
Sorry, I'm used to being paid adequately.
That was my other job where they pay me on time.
Sorry.
I think another factor that was that
there was one half hour that I logged in July,
so that could have been part of it.
But probably not.
I don't know how that would have...
Good for you, Tom.
Hey, half hour.
And you're probably deducting all the meals that we're buying for you, right?
Yeah.
And you're calculating how much tip we're adding on those meals?
I tip a lot at Cane's.
Tip and timing, yeah.
The tip thing, it's exhausted by now, but my gosh, it's ridiculous.
It's reached its tipping point.
And you know why it's ridiculous?
Because those people know it's ridiculous because they don't say,
it's going to ask you if you want to leave a tip.
They say, it's going to ask a question.
Yeah, it bothers me.
As a waitress at Chili's,
they say, it says tip on there.
And they know you're going to tip them
because that's right.
But I don't need to get the rigmarole,
just guilt trip every time I go to Starbucksbucks because i didn't make my main street
roasters in time and they say it's going to ask you a question here on the screen and and they
know when you're not tipping because they you have to press two buttons instead of one yeah i don't
like it the starbucks drive-thru today the guy he went uh just silent on me which i don't mind
but just like held the thing out and it was like too high for my car. Oh, yeah.
Can you tilt it down?
Where's zero?
There is zero.
Other amount.
Oh, the other amount's zero.
Okay.
Yeah, I think it's Smoothie King.
Some place will ask you, they're like,
all right, and now it's going to ask you a few fun questions.
Fun questions. They say something like that.
Okay.
And yeah, I always thought that was funny.
It's just like, what do you think of me?
You think I'm cute yeah
blonde at 12 o'clock
that's me
what do you think
are you seeing this
have you filled out your census yet
all the things
ethnicity oh the words that I texted Brad
were
no no it's gonna make me sound racist that I went...
No, I'm just kidding.
It was census.
What was it?
Census period, anyone else live period, ethnicity.
And let me tell you, anyone else live got me a little bit
because I didn't know if it was live or live.
Like a live, anyone else live.
Homonym, homophone, one of those two.
Homonym, I think.
What's homophone then? Homophone... Is is that a trick made up word to trick kids sound the same but are spelled different c s e a s e okay
exactly that makes sense phone phonetically i've been wrong a lot on the podcast recently so let's
go ahead and let's go and assume i messed that up too no all right i nailed it yeah and if you
didn't,
let us know with the Larry David video
because those are fun.
Yeah.
14 or 15 of you guys tell me I'm wrong.
That'd be fun.
Okay.
I'll see you guys Wednesday.
See ya.
Ghost from the Spot.
Ghost from the Spot.
