This past weekend, Brad, I was doing some stand-up comedy.
Oh, yeah.
Primarily in the Middle East.
Oh, yeah.
But before I really got there, I started in St. Louis.
Oh, no.
And Ghostie's really helped me out this weekend.
There are a lot of them willing to help.
You know, hey, what do I need to know about Indianapolis?
Hey, what are the ins and outs of Cleveland?
Love it.
Jordan Norwine.
That name mean anything to you?
Ghostie.
Yeah.
Jordan Norwine.
Ghostie.
Yeah.
I think they were the ones who ran into Scott.
Girl or boy?
Girl. Guy. Sorry, Jordan. Haley norwine yep girl wife okay okay okay redemption they ran into scott at a pickleball
tournament yeah i have a lot of mutual friends with them one of my good friends of college
whatever we've texted before we are becoming friends so jordan hits me up hey man i know
you're in st louis tonight figured you could use some st louis info i'm oh my gosh, dude. Yeah. So I'm confirming things with him that I already kind
of know to be true. Like, yeah, East St. Louis, that's still the rough part of town, right? Yeah.
Emos still popping off. Yeah, yeah. Weird cheese. I thought you meant like the type of people,
like emo, like fallout boy, still real big in St. Louis. Alternative rock. Yeah. Reliant K,
you know, just bumping still
dashboard confessional would that kind of get people excited taking back sunday right i'm
thinking about songs i want to run out to emos still emos i love how you're like referring to
the whole like group of people as emos you know emos just the big big time and there's goths and
there's emos very loyal to emos depress. That's just what I call them all.
Gen Z or the Zemos.
Sorry. All right. That's great.
So basically,
so we're chatting about this stuff and I
I'll talk more about it later, but I feel like
I had written a good amount of like St. Louis
material. Like I came swinging.
Yeah. And
one of the things that Jordan tells me, he's like, oh, also you want to get on everyone's good side.
Talk about how St. Louis barbecue is better than Kansas city. Yes. And so I'm, I'm, I see this text
and I'm thinking about it and I'm like, I don't want to say that. That's, that's a tough, like,
yeah. How much are you going to sell your soul to devil? Yeah, exactly. Um, but I'm like, but I mean, if I say that early on, I mean, that could,
yeah, that could win them over. Right. I honestly didn't even know that was a thing.
Pappy's is a big thing down there, out there. I feel like Kansas city, it's always getting
compared to like Texas barbecue or Memphis, like, all right, St. Louis, I guess there's beef here.
That makes sense. Sure. And so I am doing these jokes and I'm like, uh, you know,
St. Louis, you guys do things different, you know, like, uh, Panera says, you know, we got a new name
now, but you guys like, Hey, St. Louis bread co right. Right. You know, pizza exists. And you
guys are like, let's throw the weirdest cheese we can find on it. You know, hamburgers exists.
Just find you're like, Hey, white castle, pickles, onions, and dip them in grease, you know,
whatever. Like that's our thing. And then I was like in Kansas city exists. fine. You're like, Hey, white castle, pickles, onions, and dip them in grease, you know, whatever. Like that's our thing. And then I was like, and Kansas city exists. And
you guys were like, Hey, let's do the exact same thing, but with way better barbecue.
And it just got crickets. And I didn't know. It's one of those things where it's like, Hey,
Hey, we know who we are and we're not better than kids. We have things that we can compare
ourselves to Kansas City
Kansas City is the king of barbecue
they so
oh yeah
I don't know
yeah
I know you would love it
but also
Jordan Norwine
what the heck dude
I mean I just
I'm really building
even the tone
the way I'm talking
and hey
just like Kansas City
except way better barbecue
never trust a man from St. Louis ever in your entire life.
I did not do that the second show.
That's awesome, man.
Oh, my gosh.
Uh-oh.
Ooh, I think this tight beat means that it's going down
with some random thoughts and white meat too.
Midwest best friends eating fast food on repeat.
So come along, let's have some fun
and go ahead, get on your feet
because it's the Ghost Brothers Podcast.
So yeah, that was just a bummer.
When it felt like I was already
pandering to the audience
and then they didn't even appreciate it.
I was like, well.
That's what you get.
I'm sad.
That's your penance.
That's, you know, you're like, you know,
I'm trying to be a comedian of the people
and I went too far and you feel it.
You know, like some people say like,
you don't know when you're sinning.
You know.
Yeah.
You know when you've done the wrong thing.
I text him after the show and I was like, dude, we'd love to see you.
Are you, are you with the first show or second show?
And he's like, oh, I'm coming to Grande Boo.
I'm not even here tonight.
I was like, oh, so he doesn't even know.
He doesn't even know what he's finding out right now.
Oh my goodness.
No one clapped or cared about St. Louis barbecue.
Okay.
So in Kansas city, what is like the comparable thing you could say to like get cricket?
Like if you're like Kansas City, you know, we do Super Bowls.
What about those?
Whoa, yeah, yeah, yeah.
What about those Royals?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Or like, and we know how to run a baseball franchise way better than the people out in St. Louis.
Yeah.
People just like, no, we don't.
The Cardinals are very successful.
We're self-aware enough to know the Royals are not good.
That's perfect.
I'm going to turn on these headlights.
Yeah.
Hair lights.
Air headlights.
Good job.
Just testing you.
Yes.
Anyway, that's great, dude. I love that you bombed in St. Louis. Because you know what? It's testing you. Yes. Anyway, that's great, dude.
I love that you bombed in St. Louis because you know what?
It wasn't you.
It was them.
Trust me.
Trust me.
It's never me.
Because I do know a lot of people from St. Louis that are very passionately like.
Yeah, my friend.
Yeah, he talks about this place called Pappy's.
I've never been to Pappy's, but they say it's the best barbecue in the world.
Grand Pappy's Barbecue.
I'm like, sure it is, buddy.
Sure it is, pal.
Sure it is, big man.
Big guy.
Big guy.
Yeah, so that was kind of funny.
I will say, because of what I talked about in last week's podcast episode about the whole steroid shot thing,
it kind of gave me some ideas.
So I did like one bit.
I'm doing this whole bit about how hard it is.
I feel sick how hard it is to get a steroid shot and making that funny.
And then it leads up to like, I did not think it was going to be as hard to get a steroid shot in St. Louis.
How did Mark McGuire do it?
And I was like, dang, this is such a good joke.
And I can only do it in like San Francisco, Chicago, or St. Louis, really.
Maybe Oakland.
Maybe. Chicago Yeah Or St. Louis really I mean Maybe Oakland Maybe I mean
If you're in Oakland right now
Name
Name five A's players
Well I was thinking
Jose Canseco
Is what I was thinking
Oh okay
I was like
I could do Barry Bonds
I could do Sammy Sosa
I could do Mark Weier
See I was thinking
Jason Giambi
Okay
How did Jose Canseco
Or Jason Giambi
Do it
Right
That's topical these days
Whichever generation you're in.
Billy Bean, anybody?
You probably did them too, huh?
So yeah, I felt really good about that.
I was like, dang, that's kind of a one-time thing.
I mean, throw...
Well, you could do Chicago.
Did you say that?
Okay.
I mean, do Mark McGuire other places.
It wouldn't be as great,
but it would still get a good laugh, I think.
Yeah, if i get hit
in st louis or barry bonds you know those are two have you ever heard of barry bonds timing
be honest or mark mcguire mark mark mcguire i'll be honest i looked up like recently i think when
i was editing the like a clip of oh yeah i think i said him last monday yeah yeah and then i don't
think i've heard of barry bonds fair enough that. I mean, Tymon is our casual sports fan barometer.
No, not even casual.
What do you call yourself a sports fan, Tymon?
Very casual.
Okay.
Extremely.
If even.
Well, first of all, guess how many games the Chiefs play in a year?
Like a regular season game.
Gosh.
I know I've heard 12.
Okay.
Not a bad guess. Not a bad guess. a bad guess okay how many it's 17 yeah
right how many it's an odd number how am i supposed to it used to be 16 they just changed
i was like i didn't know we were doing odds and no odds are even allowed if if us it's 17
would have been my first choice for sure all right how many games are in a regular baseball season oh i'd say a lot more good like 50 yeah okay you knew
it was an even number this time what is it 162 162 oh wow yeah they go they go nuts yeah um okay
yeah so and so okay of those 17 games the chiefs play how many games are you watching
none none whatever that is not a casual sports fan, Tymon.
Whatever is in a restaurant when I'm there.
Fair enough.
Okay.
That'd be fun to just not have a scope of sports, really.
Like you walk into a restaurant,
you're like, I don't know if this game's on right now.
I don't know if this is a 1980s game.
You know, just like, are these players exist anymore?
Tymon's like really frustrated in February
that he can't go to Johnny's Tavern on a Sunday afternoon.
He's like, everyone's there in their red shirts.
I don't know what's going on.
It was funny.
There was one time someone at the place that I intern at, they were like, we're having a gathering in the kitchen area with the TV around noon to watch the parade.
It was after the Superbowl.
And I literally,
I was like,
it's like,
what,
what parade is going on?
Like,
that's how it's a little early for Valentine's parades.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Like I'll say,
regardless,
it is fun that all these sports fans are gathering for a parade.
I'm kind of into that.
Let's see what it's about.
I like parades.
Yeah.
Right.
Who's going to say no to a parade?
Will there be music?
Yeah.
That's great.
Well, anyway, what are we talking about
oh mary bonds yeah um oh what was i gonna say you had something oh tell us uh update about the
steroid shots and all that have you been successful never got one really i just took really good care
of myself this past weekend and feel like i was starting to get better just like i would have so
much water i found this new thing from Starbucks that I have every morning.
What do we got?
Honey citrus mint tea.
Okay.
I was doing throat coat before and after every show,
throwing honey in there.
What is throat coat?
What is that?
It's like the name of a tea that I think is...
They have it backstage every show.
I assume musicians use it all the time.
Yes, I've heard of it, but okay.
So I was doing that.
I got some good,
you know,
mucinex sore throat,
pain relief drops,
you know,
just doing everything.
Yeah.
Everything.
But I know,
of course,
still talking to fans for 30 minutes afterwards and golfing during the day.
And you know,
that kind of stuff.
I'm not willing to budge on that.
Well,
what does golf really matter?
Like,
do you think it's like,
it would be helpful,
be helpful if you just rested,
like just in general? Cause you're not talking that much in golf. Yeah. That would be the
alternative. Just like sleep a lot and don't talk to anyone all day. Yeah. So golf, you talk,
especially one of these Cincinnati, I golf with three ghosties. So we were chatting a lot. Yeah.
What, as far as like, uh, like to me, I would imagine I just, I just take this as experience from podcasting.
Anytime I feel sick or tired, once I start podcasting, I'm fine.
Like I don't think about it anymore, but I would imagine maybe with comedy, you're getting
so comfortable that now you do notice it.
Does that make sense?
Like, like I bet for a while you'd be like, I'm on an adrenaline high.
I'm up there.
I'm going, I, I'm not sick.
I'll be sick when I get done with this thing, but I'm not an adrenaline high. I'm up there. I'm going. I'm not sick. I'll be sick when I get done with this thing,
but I'm not sick right now kind of thing.
But I'm wondering like,
have you reached the point now
where you're comfortable enough
where you're still noticing your voice?
That's a good point.
You're right.
If I only had one comedy show to do ever,
it's like I can push through any sickness to do this.
Yeah.
But yeah, it definitely doesn't feel that way now.
I don't know how much adrenaline I really feel
to perform comedy these days.
You know?
So yeah, it is probably like,
I mean,
yeah,
I noticed it on stage,
like the last five minutes
of like the second,
because we had to do two shows
at St. Louis.
It's like,
man,
this is a bad time
to do two shows.
But the last St. Louis show,
I was like really feeling it
towards the end.
So yeah,
the pain could definitely
fight through the adrenaline
at this point.
Are you still running out?
Oh,
no. I feel like I'm trying to sit in the
music a little more yeah you know like i don't want to just have to have to cut the music off
asap so yeah i walk out do you give it like how many seconds into the song you know they say they
got the song going really jim and jake triplet right away you walk out or do you do you give
it a few seconds oh i see what you're saying, or do you give it a few seconds? Ooh, I see what you're saying.
I would give it a solid three seconds.
I never even thought about that.
Oh, give it some time, brother.
Really?
Oh, yeah.
Let it marinate a little bit.
Be like, is he coming?
There he is.
I never even thought about that.
I'm always side stage.
I'm just ready to go.
So he said my name.
All right, walk after.
All right, it's time.
Yeah.
Yeah, I should wait.
I should give it a beat.
You should.
Especially if you're ruminating with the music. If I want to sit in the music anyway. Yeah.
Yeah, it's kind of fun. Yeah, all weekend I said surprise me with the music. It was good stuff. I
got Nickelback one time, got Taylor Swift one time. Okay. It's fun. Good weekend of walkout
music. Yeah, so high variety. Who's the DJ these days? The first two nights we had DJ Travi,
Trey's friend from college and then
he had to go and so then michael was back hadn't seen him in a while okay so michael was back the
last two nights it's really fun is he back for good or is dude perfect still dude perfect he's
done touring so we have i think travis gets first choice because he's like trey's boy so like
whichever one travis wants to come to he does but. But then after that, then it's Mikel. Cool. So I think Mikel will be with us a lot for the fall.
But we're kind of not traveling much.
It's just on to me.
So we have the Kansas City show, Grand Nibou weekend, obviously.
That's it for the month of August.
And then the month of September until like the 28th,
the only other show we have is one in Las Vegas.
Nice.
Until the 28th.
Yeah.
So you basically have over a month off. Yeah. I have like one travel day. Nice. Until the 28th. Yeah. So you basically have over a month off.
Yeah. I have like one travel day.
One little blip in that radar, but
besides that, clear skies. Yeah.
In like seven weeks. Your throat's going to feel so
good by the end of that. It's going to be really nice.
Yeah. I'm looking forward to it.
So that's fun.
Anyway, hey, Ghosties, welcome back.
Monday episode. This is the Ghostwriters Podcast.
We have a ton going on right now in our lives.
And so today's episode, Wednesday's episode, might be a bit shorter.
The old short, yeah. Shorter shows.
Yeah. Shorter episodes. Slightly.
But it's fair because last week my throat was really sore and recorded for an hour 45 minutes
just for monday so you know it balances itself out you yeah you're a freaking warrior well it's
fun yeah you know it yeah we do this we say that and of course it's gonna today we're gonna do
long too yeah just cut us off at some point but uh yeah, so yeah, Grande Boo is coming up,
and we're getting there, baby.
Sold some tickets last night, I saw.
Sold some tickets.
Was texting the guy personally, Jonathan.
Shout out, Jonathan.
If you guys want to text me, I'll text back.
And if I don't, it's not because I don't like you.
It's because you didn't catch me on my phone.
Or it's because you're not actively buying Grande Boo tickets.
That helps a lot.
When they're like,
hey, I'm kind of interested in Grande Boo,
I will respond immediately to that.
Yeah.
Also, if you send a really, really heartfelt message,
just the flaw in me is that I want to send
the most heartfelt message back.
Yeah, I don't want to just respond immediately.
Like, hey, thanks, man.
And so sometimes those are the people
I either take
forever to respond to or forget to respond to completely. So just know that I've always read
them. And I really, really apologize if I didn't respond to you. That's a good PSA to send out,
because I'm bad at that too. Like I can easily respond to the text like, hey, you free for a
call this afternoon? Yes. Two 30. Call me. Easy. But like, hey man, I know I haven't talked to you
in a while, but like I've been quietly listening to Ghost Hunters and I was like, man, this is awesome.
Yes.
I need to set aside time for this response.
Right.
And then I never do.
I have started to do voice message responses to those.
Yeah.
Because I think it's just easier.
You can get out so many words in one minute.
They hear the tone.
They hear the tone, brother.
The tone is there.
So I think that's better. And I think
I, and that, that I can do really quickly and be like, and I sometimes even explain that I'm like,
I would love to, you know, respond. I don't even know how to respond to this,
but thank you so much. And they hear it right there. So, um, yeah, Grande booze going great.
I, I went to bed last night. I felt weird after the roastery yesterday.
Dude.
You too? Me too.
What?
Like stomach stuff?
Oh, no.
Like what?
Yeah, a little bit.
What did you feel?
I felt really, which this might be part of the sickness.
We could talk about this more too, but like I feel like recently I felt really lightheaded
and I couldn't explain it to Rachel.
Me too.
Really?
I was like this.
Okay.
I didn't even think about it being the coffee.
I just thought I was like sick or something.
So I was talking to Rachel and I was like,
I don't even know how to explain what I feel right now.
It's like,
I,
I feel lightheaded and like,
I feel like I just can't focus.
I was like,
I don't know if this is what people call like a fog.
Yeah.
I don't know if I feel foggy.
I've never felt it before,
but I was like,
I just don't feel right.
But I had to leave and go shoot Friday pickleball video.
So it kind of had to suck it up.
Yeah.
Just go for it. And then we go there and shoot it all. I'm like, who we're done. And
then Harrison rolls up and he's like, Hey, you guys want to play? It's like, Oh man. Can't say
no to Harry. Yeah. Yeah. So now stick around. But yeah, I felt really weird. Yeah, dude. I don't
know. I got out of your car. Like that's the first time I felt it. And I never, I mean, I'm always
driving. And so I was in the passenger seat on my phone a decent amount. So I thought maybe I'm just motion sickness from the car or something.
I don't feel like you're on your phone that much.
I don't know if I was either, but that was in my head.
I don't know why I said that.
Well, no, no, no.
In my head, I was like, I don't, you know, screen time,
you look down every single, you know, on your app.
It's like you spent four and a half hours on your phone.
I was like, ah, surely not.
So maybe I was on there more than I realized or something.
Making stuff up.
I was in the back seat, just spinning. I just thought to myself, wait,
no, I wasn't subconsciously. Maybe I was looking at my photo. I don't know, but I get out and I'll feel like, yeah, just this, like not dizzy, dizzy, but just like enough to where like,
you kind of turn your head and you're like, whoa, was I dizzy there? And then you're,
I'm looking at this thing. I'm not seeing any like weird dizziness, but that was weird. The
way I just turned my head. So it's so interesting you both felt like that did we get poisoned
a baby dude it was a weird feeling yeah like i still can't really describe it but i was like
like i was really having some existential thoughts because i was just like am i overworking myself
like i've never felt this way right now yes probably because i was like i mean maybe it's
i mean all morning i was working on stuff and then brad and i just went and worked on granibu stuff and it was
you know we there's so much to do but i don't think i'm stressed about it yeah but i stress
because now i have to go shoot friday pickleball videos well no that's pretty fun to you know i'm
trying to like why do i feel this way i feel so weird and exhausted and lightheaded uh i don't
know how a few more bullet points for you
for my thing it was weird so i i went to bed at like 8 45 like so early because i was just
because i told katherine i was like harrison wants to play pickleball i kind of want to play
pickleball and then i was like i feel weird like and i just my stomach was feeling odd
and that hit me later too during pickleball yeah not like i like i was never like oh i never like, oh, I'm going to get sick, sick, but it was just like,
I don't feel right.
Like something's odd here.
Yes.
And then dude, these are the weird ones that I don't think you're going to relate to one
as I was laying in bed, lying in bed, trying to fall asleep.
My left foot fell asleep.
That's never happened.
That's scary.
It's weird.
It was like, what's going on here?
And it wasn't like a hundred percent like numb. It was just like tingling, tingling needles. What's scary. It's weird. It was like, what's going on here? And it wasn't like 100% like numb.
It was just like tingling.
Tingling.
Pins and needles.
What's this?
What's this about?
And then.
Dude, at that point, I'd start to be, I would be freaking out that I'm having a stroke.
Maybe.
Is that what I should have been?
It's usually the left side of your body.
Great.
Thank you.
Isn't it?
I don't know.
WebMD would probably confirm it.
Time and look at Mark McGuire.
Mark McGuire stroke.
And the other thing was, and this one's personal and not very flattering towards me.
I like rubbed the back of my ears and my hand smelled funny after I rubbed it.
I don't know, dude.
I don't know.
It smelled weird.
It wasn't like, it wasn't like a really, really bad smell, but it wasn't a great smell either.
It was like, it was like, it was like, it was like fresh baked bread or something back there.
It was like, what's going on back there?
And I even thought, maybe it was my hand already.
Maybe something on my hand.
So I independent tested the other hand, smelled it,
and then went back there and then smelled it again.
No, it's definitely behind the ears.
You go back to the roastery today.
Hey, I got to know what you put in your coffee.
You guys made the back of my ears smell like fresh baked bread.
Yeah. You guys really backed my ears. A lot of people ask you this. I want to know what's
your secret. We also both got haircuts yesterday. So maybe the barbers in Kansas City are doing
something. That was my explanation for the weird smell in the back of the ears. It's like maybe
the pomade stuff. Yeah. Whatever they put, maybe I sweat a little bit of it off and it smelled weird on my ears or something. I don't know. Um, anyway, all it to say,
grande boo, bring it all full circle. I went to bed at like eight 45. I don't think I fell asleep
till three 30 in the morning. I could not stop thinking about grande boo to the point where I
was like, I'm going to lean into this and just get stuff done on my phone. I was just telling
Rachel this recently. I was like, I feel like I've learned in the last year or two, once I
hit 30 to listen to, I don't even know if it's your body, listen to your brain. And if your brain
is in a certain mood, chase, whatever that mood is. Even if it's like, I've been trying to work
more nine to five. If you feel in the mood to write some jokes, set it, do it right now. Don't
wait for later. Yeah. I just, I just, I tried, I knew it was like the right thing to do is to get eight hours of sleep.
I was like, I want to get eight hours of sleep.
I want to get up at a normal time.
We love to work out in the morning.
But my mind, so I tried to like, you know, discipline myself of like five minutes at a time.
Just lie there and just close your eyes.
Just try.
And I couldn't stop, dude.
I was like, okay, I'm going to forget that in the morning.
If I don't write down, I need to do this.
I was like, well, I'm already here.
I might as well, you know, and by the end of it, I was
listening to all these different songs for jingles, right? I wrote a jingle for the, uh, the, the live
podcast. I mean, we had such similar days. It was wild. I said good night to Rachel. We're both,
we've been in bed for a while now, you know, talking chit chat. And then after like 30 minutes,
like, all right, let's go to bed. And then like Rachel kind of falls asleep.
I'm trying to fall asleep.
And then I like, I just thought of a joke for the Kansas City show.
Yeah.
So random, but so specific.
I was like, oh, I'm going to go write that down.
Rachel, I was a rollover.
What are you doing?
I'm just writing jokes.
Thanks for working hard for us.
Oh, that's sweet.
Catherine did not say those things to me.
She just, she, apparently she was like,
I don't feel like I slept at all last night. I was like,
why didn't you tell me? I was up
and Adam. I was, yeah, but she like,
I think she was like, I think I knew that you were
awake or like, because every time
your ears felt awful. Yeah,
I couldn't come closer to you. Maybe
like, yeah, is he baking bread up? Yeah.
Yeah. Two loaves of rye
behind your ears over there. I
was just like, I think my hands were
cold. And so I would like, literally I turned down the volume on my phone as low as I could.
And I was looking at acoustic covers of songs in bed, in bed and my hands were cold. So I would
find a song and then I would put my hands back under the covers and put my phone like, like laid
on, laid on the pillow. Just so quiet. I so quiet i mean it was like like it sounded great
it sounded like headphones when it's so quiet but in your ear it's a pretty nice volume i've done
that before too like i took it away to be like i'm sure katherine's waking up from this even right
in front of me i couldn't feel yeah but on the ear it's nice yeah i've been there but every time i
like you know took my hands out put my hands under it just barely ruffled the blankets and so she's like, so I felt that all night. It's like, and were you standing up halfway
through the night? I was like, I've had to go to the bathroom twice. And then at two 30 in the
morning, I hear this, I hear like one of the kids doors crack open. Like we have kind of sticky old
doors. And so you can hear when they're open and I'm like, well, I got to check that out. Maybe
it's just how to go in the bathroom. Nope. Old lead foot. It's Bo. And I'm like, what in the world? So I spring up because
Bo's a wild card. He could go into Hattie and Rosie's room and wake them up immediately.
And so I'm like, what's going on? Maybe he's going to the bathroom. Good for him for going.
Maybe he's thinking about grande boo.
Yeah. Maybe he's stressed about grande boo too. And I think he might have been sleepwalking. Sweet.
I don't know. I walked it out
and he
didn't even like, he wasn't even phased
by seeing me. He was, I walked
out, he was walking back to his,
towards his room from the dining room, if you know
our house, Ghosties, I'm sure you do.
And he just goes, I'm
looking for Chase. And Chase is his
like little Paw Patrol, like stuffed animal dog.
Like, okay.
He doesn't ever play with chase.
Like he, I mean, not very often.
And I'm like, okay, okay.
Yeah.
Let's get chase.
He's like, it's in that drawer.
It's in the drawer right there.
Okay.
Yeah.
That's chase.
That's chase.
That's chase.
And I gave it to him.
I asked him about today.
He's like, I didn't get up in the middle of the night.
I was like, you didn't see me last night.
I don't remember seeing you. I was like, dude, Rachel woke up in the middle of the night. I was like, you didn't see me last night? I don't remember seeing you.
Dude, Rachel woke up in the middle of the night.
Dude, no way!
I'm not kidding.
What is happening?
I'm not kidding.
Rachel woke up.
At this point, it's going to sound like I'm making it up.
I promise it's not.
I could show you.
Whatever.
You still got the footage?
I could show you the night vision footage.
Rachel wakes up while I'm still awake.
Usually I'm going to sleep been asleep 20-30 minutes
she kind of sits up
where is it at
I kind of like the way that you kind of like
mumble through
where is it at
her eyes are barely open
she just kind of scans the room
it's like she's trying to be funny
and I'm like what
like try to say like are you
with it or not like what's happening like maybe she actually woke up and was like oh my gosh where
are my yeah contact case you know whatever yeah and she's like my suitcase and i was like oh man
this is so good and i'm just kind of letting her go. I don't want to interrupt this. She's like, where did I? That's where I put it.
It's like looking towards the bathroom.
And I was like.
Serious the whole time?
Yeah, yeah.
That's right.
Maybe, I don't know where I put it.
And then goes back to bed.
Yeah.
Like, that was awesome.
Yeah.
Couldn't wait to tell her about it in the morning.
She didn't remember a thing.
No, I had no idea.
That's great.
Yeah.
That's what, when I was in, you know, in college,
our fraternity had like sleeping dorms.
So there's like 35 guys sleeping in the same room.
Oh yeah, you hear some stuff.
And so, I mean, there were like, I was on the top bunk.
My first year, you know, you get like last pick of the beds.
So I was on the top bunk near the door,
like that enters and exits and everything.
And you know what doors do.
Yeah.
But right next to me was this like upperclassmen, like literally our bunks were
like pushed together. Like these mega bed. Yeah. I don't know if it's just classic fraternity,
like, yeah, let's push the bunks together. That's funny. I'm like, okay. Um, and this guy is like
the most solid, like look up to him as a Christian man you could ever meet in your life. Just,
I want to be like him. He's like three years older than me kind of guy. But in his sleep,
dude, he would say some stuff. He'd let him fly. And I'm like, what? You can't say that, man.
Wow. It was like, there's something in the back there that still knows those words.
It's kind of scary, actually. Yeah, it's kind of wild.
Yeah. Kind of like when you get your wisdom teeth out or something.
Dude, don't film. Yeah. Just in case. i don't think you're allowed to say that these days

All right, Tymon, what's the latest on Brad's diagnosis?
Symptoms of a stroke.
First thing that comes up, sudden numbness or weakness in the face, arm, or leg,
especially on one side of the body.
Count as foot.
Hey, sudden trouble seeing in one or both eyes.
Oh, you're fine.
Sudden trouble walking, dizziness, loss of balance or coordination.
It just falls all over.
And then I looked up something with a stroke having to do with like smelling things.
Sorry, you had to Google that.
Wait, wait.
What exactly is the Google search on there?
Let's see.
Oh, gosh.
What did I?
Brad loves knowing this stuff, too.
What did you Google to find this?
Yeah.
This is so funny.
I said, do your ears smell funny if you're having a stroke?
But then I found this article. It's like, it says some people smell like burnt toast.
That's bread. What kind of, what did I say? Fresh baked bread? Fresh baked bread.
Some people burn their fresh baked bread. It's kind of on the other end of the bread spectrum,
but still. Yeah. Yeah. That's not, that's about it. Wait, hold on. Let's focus on...
Phantom smells.
Stroke victims claim that they smell like burnt toast.
Those are correlated in some way.
A stroke can cause something called...
What's it called?
You got it.
It was somewhere up here.
I lost where the word is.
Phantom...
I don't know.
Some phantom smells thing.
But yeah, it says burnt toast.
Some people, not everyone.
Interesting.
Smell anything, Brad?
Literally nothing.
I haven't smelled anything since December of 2020.
Man, that's fun.
I hope we don't have strokes before Grande Boo.
Dude, we had poison yesterday.
Best poison I've ever had besides Main Street Roasters. I hope we don't have strokes before Grande Boo. Dude, we had poison yesterday.
Best poison I've ever had, besides Main Street Roasters.
Main Street Roasters coffee is the best coffee.
Well, and they've never poisoned us, so it doesn't really count. You can get a promo code, GRKC, 10% off, MainStreetRoasters.com.

Whether you consider caffeine poison or not, I don't.
I don't, don't and guess

there in the flesh in the flesh in the flesh genuinely imagine the flesh haley's gonna be
there yeah the roasters are gonna be there the roasters will and their flesh are coming and we
talked have we have we revealed uh anything about main street roasters and who's serving Main Street Roasters at the Grand Debut?
I don't think we've trickled that in yet.
Should we trickle or should we surprise?
Trickle.
Trickle.
How about Isaac McDonald, his $600 espresso machine?
Let's see if it can make more than 10 before it overheats.
Saturday morning, he's going to be available to make you all just wonderful lattes,
espresso, drinks, all the good stuff.
I think he will also be available for something Friday night. Oh yeah. Ladies. Oh, it's not what you're thinking.
Ladies. Oh man. What else? Oh, what else can we trickle? Um, the, uh, the live podcast on
Saturday morning. Um, you know, we're doing Bondi bowls beforehand for breakfast at the park.
It's going to be awesome.
Might be 111 degrees.
Do you see that screenshot?
Apple weather had a glitch yesterday.
That was wild. Because I first saw it on
Emily Madison's story, and it said 114.
And I replied, I was like, this is a comically
high number. Yeah, I was going to say,
has that ever happened in Kansas?
Probably once. Yeah, you have to be in a desert way closer to the equator for that to happen. I
feel like, yeah, I'm seeing one 14 on the weather forecast is hilarious. It was like, and it was
like 11 days or 10 days away too. So it was like, there's no way this is accurate in the low that
day was still 66. I was like, that's a big day. Yeah. It's a big jump in temperature anyway. Uh,
but at the live podcast, Saturday morning,
after we have Bondi bowls for breakfast, uh, we are going to be doing live voice memos.
Yes. AKA, uh, anybody that comes with a question, we'd love to answer it on the podcast.
Um, also we're going to be doing, should we trickle this in?
I don't know what you're thinking. The other thing we were talking about yesterday, uh,
another live, uh, another live,
uh,
common segment that we do.
Oh yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
We're going to do a live schmores.
We're going to do an interactive schmores with the audience.
We'll keep it at that with,
yeah,
we'll keep it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's going to be fun though.
Um,
along with the live jingle,
I mean,
just everything is live.
Did you understand that?
That's what grande booze.
The whole thing is what we're doing there.
Um, anyway, come enjoy it live. Yeah.
Oh, and I wrote down
DJ Roomba, dude. I can't
get enough of DJ Roomba. I meant to listen to it
yesterday, but I felt so
weird. I was driving in silence. Dude,
something that's crazy. I was like,
I can't listen to music right now. Good for you for
gritting it out for Friday Pickleball.
Yeah.
Ten people out there will know who DJ Roomba gritting it out for Friday pickleball. Yeah. Um,
10 people out there will know who DJ Roomba is and be like, so pumped about this.
Yes.
Uh,
he's,
he's this guy that went to Samford university and bow,
bow,
bulldogs,
Birmingham,
Alabama.
Yep.
And,
um,
Sam,
not Stan.
And he's,
he's just like a great mashup artist.
And I think he has like,
he had one album that my friend Tim,
uh,
sent me
when we worked at camp together and it is so good and such a fun party and we're just gonna listen
to it all weekend at the Grand Debut so if you're like this is all this music's awesome it's DJ
Roomba and we're gonna post it somewhere because start listing now you can't find anywhere else
so um it's it's gonna be a blast DJ Roomba. That's fun. Yeah.
Gosh,
what else do I want to talk about?
We got a... MainTreeRoaster.com,
promo code GRKZ10% off.
Yes.
DJ Roomba is brought to you by
MainTreeRoasters.
Oh,
here's something I just want to mention
is a lot of people
who can't make it to Grande Bou
are probably thinking,
well,
I can't wait for that Monday afterwards
to hear all about it.
Well,
yeah.
Well,
yeah, you're going to have to wait a little bit longer.
Delayed gratification. Yeah.
Because we're going to be recording that on
Saturday and it's not going to be recorded the same way we normally
do. We don't want to ask time into just
like work seven hours
on a Sunday. So no honor the sabbath
keep holy yeah yes please yeah so just so you know the grande boo live episode will come out
the wednesday afterwards okay it's gonna be lit though yeah right timing it's gonna be lit oh yeah
you know what lit means are you you you hip you hip to lit dude saying lit is so funny we uh
we were talking a couple days ago about like, all right, what do we want to shoot
for Friday Pickleball on Tuesday? And Scott's
like, we could do the Gen Z
Pickleball video. And I was like, I
didn't even know we were doing a Gen Z
Pickleball video. And Isaac's like, oh
yeah, I started that.
Like I started that in the document
and Scott's like, oh yeah, I went crazy
on it.
I should pull this up right now.
Do you guys want to see what Scott wrote?
Sorry, Scott.
I kind of want Tymon to read them.
Can we send him to Tymon to read?
Yes, that is perfect.
From the Gen Z himself.
Yeah.
Because when you and I wrote Gen Z,
you made fun of me because you're like,
Brad, you're such a dork. You made fun of me because you're like brad
like you're such a dork you don't know and i'm like at least i've hung out with some gen z people
scott i don't know what experience he has with gen z at all time and you don't have to read all
these but you just try to read like just the the worst some of your favorites the worst ones all
right it did a format great on text, but alright, let's hear it.
Guys, at least Ashley's here.
I'm finna riz her up with my dink game.
Hey, guys, no
cap, guys. That third shot
drop was lit, fam.
You trying to pickle tonight?
Bet.
Let's see.
I just imagine Scott saying these things.
Yeah, it's so funny.
Bro, no cap.
Your dink game needs a serious glow up.
Nimi's the only glow up for us.
Yo, this paddle just hits different.
Literally and figuratively.
Jinzy saying figuratively a lot? Ohatively oh yeah definitely um let's see this one i love insert like insert gen z term
insert gen z name what do you think of insert typical gen z names game i don't know man he's
mid i will say though insert another gen z name he is him I feel like Scott just looked up
Gen Z turns
and he told me afterwards
yeah he's like I just looked up Gen Z slang
and just tried to write something for every single one of them
that's great good for him
I like this one this one's accurate
partner hits a great shot
slay
I think that's just shot slay uh gay gen z he tries pickleball and is gay
partner hits a great shot slay yeah can you imagine like victor wimben yanima
like make it a three pointer. Slay!
Slay!
I mean, he's Gen Z.
That's what they do.
That's how they celebrate.
So yeah, good for Scott.
He wrote, I mean, 30 of these probably.
Oh yeah, there's a lot.
And so I was kind of like, oh, I didn't even know we were doing Gen Z.
Let me take a look at it.
I saw all those and I was like, okay.
Did you guys do it? I was like, I think we could still do it but i'm gonna just rewrite it basically okay so i was like i don't think we need to do like catch phrase
terms more i think it needs to be like more characteristics of gen z okay yeah i think i
would pay a hundred dollars for you to make that video with simply scott doing the entire thing
i would for my own video like i just want you to record it and edit it for me.
I would pay $100 to watch that.
Scott, you have to go to Pickleball Court, film it,
edit it, do it all yourself.
When he said, oh, that's so mid,
but he's him. I would have died
if I saw Scott do that.
It would have been so bad, but so amazing.
He's him.
That's great.
He might be mid, but insert J name he is him although he's him
what kind of what kind of friends you got any cool friends names um i don't know i guess
graydon could be considered great it's a good one um trying to think not a lot of crazy stuff yeah
yeah i came up with i was like all right isaac Isaac, because Isaac was our Gen Z guy. I was like, would you rather your name be Claxton, Breckett, or Larkin?
Okay.
He went with Claxton.
Claxton.
Yeah, I don't know.
Anything with an X in it's a fair game.
Yeah.
That's great.
So what did you end up filming?
So it's kind of like me behind the camera.
I'd be like, dude, Claxton, you should play with us.
You play with us.
You know, like, I don't want to, you know, I'm protesting. You can't protest everything, Claxton, you should play with us. You play with us. I don't want to.
I'm protesting. You can't protest
everything, Claxton. Play with us.
Can I play with my Crocs? Yes.
Okay, you can play in your Crocs kind of thing.
And then different stuff like,
okay, if you play,
I'll get you
some Takis or something like that.
No, I already have Takis.
All right, what about Tide Pods?
All right.
You know, whatever.
Which is pretty outdated, but this video is not meant for Gen Z.
This is meant for Pickleball Boomers.
Like, what is with the Tide Pods?
I read about that in the Super Bowl one time.
Generation.
It's asking, like, can I just have AI play for me?
I wrote a joke about, like, I'd rather just watch people play a Pickleball video game
and, like, donate my allowance just watch people play a pickleball video game and like donate my
allowance to them.
Right.
Um,
Twitch stream pickleball,
you know,
pickleball is kind of fun.
I think it cured my anxiety,
but I'm still depressed.
Something like that.
Gotcha.
Just Gen Z character.
Sure.
Yeah.
So you just do that video or do you other ones?
We did that.
Uh,
did another one like pickleleball 2020 versus 2023.
That's kind of when it
blew up. Everyone discovered it.
Also, you could toss in some COVID jokes.
That's perfect. That's very topical.
Thank you.
Then we did half of another joke
because we're going to do the second half when the PPA comes to Kansas City.
Gotcha.
I think it's playing for fun versus playing in a tournament.
Playing for fun, it's like,
that was a fun game. Would you like to play another one immediately?. So playing for fun, it's like, that was a fun game.
Would you like to play another one immediately?
And then playing in a tournament,
it's like, that was kind of fun.
Let's wait six hours before our next one
because it's kind of notorious for like,
why did I pay $80 to play three games?
I can just do that.
I can just play for free for two hours with my friends.
Yeah.
I'm sad I lost, but let's just play again.
It's like, I'm sad I lost,
but let's overanalyze everything
for two weeks until the next tournament.
Yeah, exactly.
Like, win or lose, we're just out here having fun
versus like, I have not been this nervous since my wedding night.
Like this, I want a cheap medal so bad.
Scott, one time we went and watched him at a pickleball tournament
that he won, and he gave the medal to Hattie
because it was me and Hattie watching him.
And our kids love that medal. No way. All three of them walk around, like Rosie's walking around with the medal to Hattie because it was me and Hattie watching. And our kids love that medal.
No way.
All three of them walk around like Rosie's walking around
with the medal on daily these days.
Looks like Michael Phelps walking around.
It's like weighing her down.
Yeah, she's like falling over.
Medals are cool.
They're cool, man.
That's fun.
I remember when we played in that tournament,
Gunnar and I played together.
Remember in Liberty, we all went up there?
Oh, yeah, that little kind of round robin little thing they were doing.
And it was so frustrating because, yeah, we lost, I think, almost every game.
I forgot we did that.
And there was one time we were beating a team like nine to two,
and I kind of felt bad for them.
And they ended up coming back and winning.
Yeah, we don't have that killer instinct, you know?
No, dude.
Not in pickleball.
And Gunner has almost the opposite where he's like purposely a jack wagon when, when he's winning by that much, you know, like sometimes gunner
just does like, like he'll like hit it and then drop down and do three pushups and then get back
up just for the humor of it. And so the two of us together, yeah, did not perform super well.
That's pretty funny. But how do we get talking about all that? What started the Gen Z thing?
Or Scott?
Pickleball.
I don't know.
That's kind of fun.
Strokes.
Strokes.
Yeah.
Different strokes.
I don't know.
Yeah.
I'm sure somebody will tell us.
But okay.
Let's talk about Cincinnati.
Let's talk about your weekend.
Yeah.
Should we do that this episode?
Knock that out?
Let's do it.
Yeah.
You want to go first?
You want me to go first? You want to talk about Cincinnati talk about cincinnati well honestly yeah you can't i do dude okay i mean we've already kind of hashed this out a little bit um thursday
thursday is when you leave for the i flew to st louis on thursday st louis uh you know barbecue

leave and Thursday, I don't remember. Oh, uh, you were planning, uh, in Cincinnati to hang out with
Jensen and Steven Swick. Yes. Uh, Jensen, if you guys don't remember, Jensen is a friend of ours
that we, I mean, he's a ghostie that we met on the
Florida trip that we became friends with.
Steven Swick is one half
of the Swick family Robinson
who, you like that name?
Swick family Robinson? Nice.
Swiss family. Time against these homes.
Swick family
Robinson. They're just, have always
been great fans of ours.
I mean,
Kirstie started the fan account,
does the Christmas gift thing for us ever.
Anyway,
uh,
they messaged me this video of one of the SWCC girls,
Corey crying because she,
she gets to hang out or Jensen and Steven get to hang out with Jake at this
weekend.
And she's like,
you can't go to the show.
You're too young for this thing.
You know,
it's just,
it's just for adults that are going to this. And he's like, to go mr jensen i want to see jake um and and so i was like oh that's cute that's crazy and they're like yeah you should
come and i was like oh man that would be so fun but i really i really can't you know i've i'm
already going to be i'm doing all this grande boo stuff and then the weekend after i'm going to
colorado and you know,
I can't ask that of Catherine. And then I thought,
and I think I even texted like, but I am kind of getting a wild hair.
Like what if I just volunteered to take Bo and Hattie with me,
then I bet I could sell it to Catherine. And they're like, yeah, dude,
you should do that. You should, that'd be awesome if you came.
And so I texted Catherine kind of like blaming it on the swix or you know
steven and jensen like hey steven and jensen are like peer pressure and made to go to cincinnati
i thought i i think it's ridiculous but then i thought maybe if i bring the kids that could be
fun and katherine responds back she's like i mean even if you just took bow that would be awesome
because bow's the troublemaker right now. Bo's the difficult one.
Yeah, he's the, yeah, genuinely, like pretty similar in age to Corey.
And just nothing is easy with Bo right now.
I mean, he's just waking up, sleep talking.
And so I'm like, wait, you're kind of interested.
And I mean, and this is all over text.
And so I screenshotted that to the boys.
I was like, did you hear that, boys?
That's the sound of the door of opportunity squeaking open or something like that.
Then we're texting a little bit more.
And then this woman from church texts us and says, hey, can you volunteer last minute in the nursery this Sunday?
Catherine responds back and says, hey, Brenda, actually, we can't do it this Sunday.
Brad's going to be out of town last minute.
Door just got kicked open. I screenshotted that. I was like, oh, actually, we can't do it this Sunday. Brad's going to be out of town last minute. Door just got kicked open.
I screenshot that.
I was like, oh, my goodness.
And Jensen and Steve are freaking out.
Jensen texted like, yes, Lord, favor, Lord.
All this different stuff.
I was like, oh, my gosh, we're going to do this.
I mean, I looked it up.
Google Maps, it's a nine and a half hour drive.
Oh, my gosh.
And I'm like, no problem.
No problem.
It's going to be amazing.
In a truck.
Yeah.
I'm going to take my old beater of a truck.
Might not make it.
But what an experience it's going to be.
Oh my God.
And you know, we're, we're pumped up, you know, Stephen's calling me.
Jensen's calling me.
We're, we're arranging like, cause we kind of owe the Swicks a trip.
And that's what Stephen, that's what kind of initiated.
I think he said like, you can pay your debt.
Yeah.
Um,
visit Cincinnati.
I was like,
let's do it.
Like,
and Steven's,
you know,
like whatever it's,
we're just having so much fun being so excited.
Um,
and I'm trying to remember exactly how it all went down from there.
Uh,
Oh,
I think then Steven,
I don't know how much I'm supposed to reveal all this stuff,
but whatever.
Steven initially had like volunteered Kirstie
to like watch Bo for the comedy show.
And which, as he said that, I was like,
I don't know about that.
But I mean, maybe Kirstie's different than Hattie.
They just had their fourth.
Like two weeks ago.
Yeah.
Like just had their fourth.
And so I think this would be like the first time Steven,
like Kirstie's even by herself with the four kids,
let alone like throwing
another kid in there. She could watch Bo. That's never
met her. She's never met him. Like, yeah,
surely Bo will be fine on no sleep.
You know, he's a troublemaker in your family. Yeah.
Yeah.
Five's a crowd, you know, who cares?
And so
anyway, long story short, we
like that Thursday night, we went to
Footloose. I can talk about that later.
I went to a theater in the park.
It was awesome.
Which night?
Thursday.
Oh, it was our Saturday night.
Were you?
Yeah.
Oh, fun.
We can talk about that later.
Put a pin in it.
But Catherine realized at the end that alongside of visiting Jensen and Steven in Cincinnati
that we'd be going to your comedy show.
She didn't even know that was part of it. No, she had no idea that you were even in Cincinnati.
She just thought I was going to go hang out with the guys. And I think in her head, she was like,
that's crazy. But like, I mean, I guess it'll work. You can put Bo down for bed and then you
guys can hang out, whatever. And then she started asking very fair questions. Like,
what are you going to do with Bo? First of all, she's like, what are you gonna do with bow first of all she's like what
are you gonna do with bow and i was like i don't know just bring him to the comedy show he loves
jake's humor it's just like he's a big fan of jake's comedy can three-year-olds even go to the
comedy show and i was like i mean i bet we can get him in the back i'll get him backstage yeah
like if anything we can just run around in the back or he can go with isaac you can hang out
with isaac Like he knows Isaac.
She's like,
he's gonna,
he's supposed to be napping.
What's he going to eat?
You know,
all these like very fair questions that like,
as a mom,
you ask as a dad,
you're just like load up the truck.
We'll figure it out.
Yeah.
It's like one of those things where,
and I kind of explained it later.
I was like,
Catherine's kind of weighing the pros and cons and saying the higher
probability is that this is going to be a bad idea or a bad thing. So let's not do it. In my head, it's like the higher probability is going
to be a bad idea, but there's a chance it might be a good idea. So let's just do it and see what
happens and bless Catherine. Anyway, very validly, Catherine finally was just like, Brad, I just
don't feel good about you going. And this is like 1130 at night, the night before we were going to
leave. Wow. But I hadn't packed. I hadn't planned.
You know, the only, I had told Bo a little bit about it and he's so funny.
He kept calling Ohio, Ohio.
So I think he was just expecting to go see the coops.
He was telling how do you like?
Yeah.
How do you, I'm going to Ohio tomorrow.
Me gone.
Ohio.
It's like announcing travel plans to your six-year-old big sister yeah haddie i won't be
able to play tomorrow going to ohio yeah breakfast is gonna be tough haddie going to ohio so anyway
all that to say didn't end up going we were gonna surprise jake like yeah we were because did jensen
maybe he just texted isaac to text you or something about getting an extra ticket for me to get into the show and all this stuff.
Like, anyway, it was going to be.
Isaac knew he was in on it.
I was not.
That was our idea was like, let's tell Isaac and whatever.
And long story short, didn't happen.
Just fine.
But it would have been epic.
It would have also completely like potentially been very bad.
Bo, the Bo aspect could have been epic it would have also completely like potentially been very bad bo the bow aspect could
have been troublesome but dude when they told they told me after the show i overheard jensen
say to isaac does jake know about the brad thing and i was like what's up and then they told me
and i was like oh my gosh oh my gosh it's like that could have been so fun oh i know and i mean
it's something i I don't know.
There's a parenting thing about like,
when you're just one-on-one with a kid,
they act so different.
Like, I'm confident that I could have been fine
driving with Bo.
I think he would have been fine.
But like the same time, he's three,
who knows like how he would react to that.
In some ways it was like, this is kind of unfair to Bo
to just expect him to just roll with the punches with this.
But I'm like, I think it'd be all right. And like just traveling without
Catherine in some ways is harder, but in other ways it's like easier because I don't have to be
like, Oh, there's a gas station up here. Should we stop here? Should we go to another one? Okay.
The next one is 25 minutes away, but it looks like it's two miles off the highway, but it looks
nicer for, you know, I'm like, if it's just me, I'm just doing it all myself. Yeah. So all that to say it would have
been awesome, but just know that someday I might be lurking at one of the shows.
Man, that would have been so fun. Gosh.
And the funny thing was, uh, Catherine had kind of, yeah, gotten onto me. I think,
I think it's fair to say Catherine, um, Tuesday
night is when I took Hattie to worlds of fun and we didn't get back until 10 30 at night.
And we got back and she was like, Brad, this is ridiculous. How late it is. It's she's,
she's six years old, you know? And I was like, that's fair. She was just doing well. I promise
I was trying to get her home earlier. Just the circumstances happen. We had to eat dinner later,
you know, whatever.
Uh,
but luckily you guys saw like that,
that next day is when we recorded the episode.
She slept in till 10 30 the next morning.
That's nice.
And so like,
luckily she was completely fine.
So it kind of looked like,
Hey,
I won that,
that battle,
you know?
So I think I could have,
I had a little bit of confidence with Bo,
but Bo would still be asleep right now.
He would still be on that trip. now. He would still be done.
If you took him on that trip.
Yeah.
He'd still be recovering from it.
But Ohio would have been legit.
Ohio.
Could have been a cool shirt too.
Just Ohio.
Ohio is a state in the United States, which is a country in which Good Rancher gets all
their meat from.
Oh, brother, do they?
Did you know that?
I did.
All of their meat.
All of it.
American meat.
All of it.
Is delivered to your doorstep whenever you want it.
Yes.
If you pay for it.
Yes.
But at full price from goodranchers.com.
$30 off with promo code GRKC.
That's right.
Yeah, Good Ranchers is the best.
Just put in a new order this past week.
Oh, baby.
Just more chicken.
You go with the one that has the seasoned chicken in it
or the whole chicken?
I take whatever they want to send us.
I just, because I don't know.
Like, hey, I can't have the other stuff,
so just send me all your chicken.
Right.
And it's great.
Rachel, honestly, I think it's the only thing
Rachel has ever had to tell me twice to do.
Normally, I'm like, hey, I'm on it. And then I think she was like hey can you make sure like we get some good
ranchers chicken and I went out of town and forgot and she's like hey yeah I need good
ranchers chicken you need it I don't want to cook other chicken yes she really did so I was like yes
we will make sure we have it so we recently ran out of their beef. And so we had to use some Costco, Costco,
and you could tell it was like, not the same. Where's it from? Not good ranchers.com. Uh,
yeah, we're not supposed to say any other competitors. It was, it was garbage. And he
said it was like, you know, the best, you know, the best quality of whatever, but not compared
to good ranchers. There's a difference. Go to garbage.com by their meat. It sucks. See what happens to good ranchers. Garbage meat.com is not where you would find Good Ranchers. There's a difference. Go to garbage.com. Buy their meat. It sucks compared to Good Ranchers.
Garbagemeat.com is not where you would find Good Ranchers.
They've got chicken, beef.
They've got new pork, prime pork, which we've talked about.
It's like prime steak.
More marbling, better coloring, 25% more tender.
There's something for everybody.
We did ribeyes the other night as well.
Ribeye.
Reverse sear.
What do you guys know about that?
Sounds dirty.
Boy, was it.
Sounds kinky.
It was awesome.
I'm becoming a grill guy.
I'm still not perfect on the grill, but guess what?
People still love it because it's a good rancher.
It don't matter.
True story.
Hattie, I swear people are feeding her these lines.
She walks out while I'm grilling these steaks and she goes, uh, wow, that, that meat smells
good and I bet it's going to taste even better.
I'm like, who are you?
And she's right with goodrangers.com. The meat, it will taste taste even better. I'm like, who are you? And she's right.
With goodrangers.com,
the meat,
it will taste that much better.
$30 off.
Any box.
GRKC.
GRKC.
American Meat Delivered.
Come on.
Come on.
That's fun.
Okay, so tell me,
now that I've told you my,
you know,
saga of the Middle East.
It was a great weekend of shows.
I think it started off in St. Louis. I
had all this material and I've mentioned this before certain cities. It's like, Hey, I'm going
to spend time throughout my day to like write material about it. So I probably did minimum
five minutes of material every night. There was brand new about each sitting. That's so fun,
which is really fun. It's quite the challenge, but I think it pushes me as a comedian and it
makes it different. And yeah, I'd be interested to know how many, like, are other comedians doing
this? Like, maybe they are, maybe they aren't. I don't know. Also, I want to hear affirmation
from people of like, I love that he did that. Seriously. I want to hear people that have been
to your shows and been like, it's so fun when you talk about our city. Yeah. And so everyone was
just so nice. I mean, I had people in every city that I could text.
Maddie Short, former, we've talked about her on the podcast before. I don't know if she still listens to Ghostrunners, but really helpful. Sent me an eight minute voice memo about everything I
need to know about Indianapolis. I was like, this is plenty. Yes. Even like specific stuff,
like, hey, there's this one suburb where I bet a lot of people will be coming from tonight.
They lead the country in roundabouts.
Oh.
I can write roundabout material.
Okay.
That's fun.
Yeah.
And so I would do jokes about that.
And the next night was Cincinnati.
And the Christy Swick was super helpful.
Sure.
And she really helped me write a bunch of jokes.
Christy Swick of Swick Family Robinson?
Mm-hmm.
Okay.
Swick Family Robinson.
Yep.
And, you know, Cincinnati's known for skyline chili
right so that was great oh so this is kind of one of the jokes was like if you guys don't
skyline chili it's they take chili and put it on top of spaghetti essentially um yeah just it's
kind of weird and it's one of those things that i i've never tried and it just looks so awful, but everyone swears by it in Cincinnati. Yeah. It looks gross. Yeah. And so I was like, well,
I got to do some skyline jokes. And so I was doing a few and I'm kind of setting up. I was like,
it's wild that like, I got to give it to you guys. Like the confidence it takes to think,
you know, what would make this food better? Dumping chili all over it. And not a lot of
people would think that or be able to pull it off. You know so they're kind of getting fired up i was like if you really
thought it would make things better i'm surprised you haven't tried it on joe burrow's leg oh and
instead of like a laugh i think it was kind of like everyone's really stressed about joe burrow
right now like too soon yeah we're pretty worried you know i mean no i mean they reacted well but
then i followed it up too i was like well i if nothing else, you probably should have put it on Harambe.
And then that got a good reaction because he was the Cincinnati zoo.
Right.
Um, so that's awesome.
Yeah.
So just stuff like that.
That's an example of just like, yeah, but like five minutes or it's probably in each
city.
And then I had a friend who works for the Cleveland guardians and she was helping me
out with all things Cleveland.
The night before we performed there is when they
had that huge brawl, and that was a Cleveland
baseball player. Oh, perfect. So I got to do
so many jokes about that. I was like, yeah, Cleveland,
great sports town. You got the Cavs for basketball,
the Browns for football, and
the Guardians for boxing.
They love that. And I was like, we weren't going to
perform here. And then I didn't want to make Jose
Ramirez upset, so I wanted to
pull it off. That is
perfect. It was so fun. Yeah. I mean,
that just dropped in your lap.
Timon doesn't know what we're talking about.
Pretty good. Good one.
Guardians brawl.
I think I did something with
the Browns, some other Browns joke
and... Oh, you gotta.
When did I say it?
I incorporated Sean Watson as a punchline oh yeah you know
and maybe it's what i'm doing my bill cosby thing or whatever but anyway um i don't even know
sounds like i could figure out some way to connect those dots and pretty much the whole crowd
laughed but there were a couple guys who like reallyered. I was like, wait, do we have
big Deshaun Watson fans in the audience?
The guy in the second row was like, right here.
I was like, okay.
What do you love about Deshaun Watson?
He's like, I mean, he's good. He's our quarterback.
I was like, what place did you guys come
in your division last year? He's like, last.
I was like, last is right. You've got to support him.
If he comes in last, I'll
turn the other way for anything. If you're going to come in last, last is right. You got to support him. If he comes in last, I'll turn the other way for anything.
You're going to come in last.
That's awesome.
The Browns, as far as sports teams to make fun of,
they got to be Mount Rushmore.
Bad colors, bad name.
Just terrible decision-making left and right.
Jensen's a huge Browns guy.
Yeah, and they just have him.
Dude, yeah, he's sipping the Kool-Aid too. He's like, dude, don't sleep on the Browns.
He texted me a link of like, um, Randy Moss says this wide receiver is the best receiver he's seen
in forever. And I'm like, all right, everyone looks good in training camp. That's what I said.
He was like, dude, he's like, you heard it here first. He's like, we went seven and 10 with
Jacoby Brissett. And I was like, I think he went 4-7 with Jacoby Brissett. Deshaun Watson went
3-3. All right? So
I don't know if you're like one piece away.
Like in one season, I was like, dude,
just... Hey, you never know.
You're not going to be good. Yeah. That division
seems wide open.
Who else is in that one? Ravens, Steelers,
and
Shucks.
It's not the Colts because they're randomly in the South, aren't they?
No, it's like another gritty team.
Bengals.
Bengals.
Yeah, and not that wide open.
I don't know.
Don't.
You're here first.
Bengals, eight and nine.
No way.
What would you give me if they go eight and nine exactly?
Oh, I'll give you $250.
Okay. I'll give you a dollar if they don 8-9 exactly? Oh, I'll give you $250. Okay.
I'll give you a dollar if they don't.
Okay, cool.
Good odds.
While we're talking about football real quick,
we probably need to make some arrangements
for Fantasy Football League sometime soon.
Yeah.
So just be looking out.
We'll figure it out.
That's high on my priority list right now.
We'll have two leagues going again.
I think two is solid.
Probably need to do more than that.
Definitely not more.
Definitely not less.
Yeah.
Because we had enough demand last year
and it's going to be fun.
Yeah, we can think more about it
and maybe make an announcement sometime.
One last thing on Cincy.
Afterwards, me, Isaac Jensen, and Steven Swick
just got to hang out and walk around
and go to dinner.
Could have been me and Bo.
It would have been so fun if you guys were there too.
It was awesome
though Jensen is just such a stud he's the man really bought it his favorite movie is liar liar
okay great moving yeah and Steven Swick is just even more of a stud yeah it's like we I feel like
we randomly just end up talking about fatherhood for a long time and we were just like asking all
these questions and yeah he got me so pumped to be a dad yeah i was like motivated
afterwards you're like rachel rachel come on up like we have a code word rachel take in the sheets
yeah yeah yeah take out the mail i don't know take out the mail rachel yeah the flag is up on
the mailbox i don't know um yeah steven swick he's just the man got me really excited to be a
dad really pumped about fatherhood yeah a lot of really cool things to say and can you remember
any of them off the top of your head just he shared just like personal stories of just like
the first night they had a kid and he's like you know when cursey's over there asleep and he is
just like a hundred percent responsible wow for their daughter yeah and it's how much that changes
life yeah i was like, man, I want my
life to change. That's pretty fun. I remember that specific, it wasn't the very first night,
but it was the first night we were home and I was in like the nursery with Hattie. And I remember
her looking up at me and like, when they're that young, they can't see anything. They don't even
know. It looked like she just stared right at me. And I started like tearing up and I was just like,
oh my gosh, I love you so much. I did not know I was going to love you this much. It's like she just stared right at me. I started tearing up. I was like, oh my gosh, I love you so much.
I did not know I was going to love you this much.
It's the best.
That's cool. He's got four of them now.
Dominating.
Four little girls.
We talked about that too. He was just very candid with us.
Yeah, I wanted a guy. Yeah, of course.
I'm not going to pretend like I didn't.
I was bummed.
He's had a really good perspective and had a lot of cool things to say that's fun i love and that's probably credit to jensen asking those questions i would assume
initially i remember so intentional yeah no he is great yeah yeah that's awesome i think you're
probably right and he paid for our dinner and i'm trying to remember if he did it with a john candor wallet i don't know if he did or did he not i'm trying to see on that because i know like
they make just premium leather goods boy do they just try to remember if he used one yes uh surely
if i mean he's if he's you say he's a stud yeah it. It's a requirement, a prerequisite to the stud status.
Top to bottom stud.

Because he's a Words of Af guy.
Yeah.
Timon, I don't know if you've ever heard this,
but Jake and I used to have a running joke for a while
where we would
communicate via Venmo and we would send each other like a dollar and be like,
Hey man,
you want to go to lunch or Hey,
what are you doing tonight?
And send a dollar back.
Uh,
I'm free.
Are you taking pickle top golf or whatever?
Yeah.
That's so fun.
Pretty fun.
Yeah.
And then one time Brad sent me a thousand dollars or did I send you a
thousand dollars?
I think I sent you.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I did that to knack Baxter the other day.
Really? Yeah. He was, I think we Knack Baxter the other day. Really?
Yeah.
He was, I think we talked about him on the podcast and like how he had some medical advice
or something.
And he was like, hey, I'm billing you, you know, $1,800 for medical advice.
So I Venmoed him $1,800.
And he said it right back.
He's like, you're crazy, dude.
He's like, what if I didn't send that back?
I was like, then I guess you would have been blessed with it.
I don't know.
But yeah, it's still,
it's still a fun gag to, to, to pull on people.
Speaking of gags, Andrew Thurber just texted us.
Do you see this?
We're having Andrew Thurber make us something special for grande boo, which he will be at.
Yes.
And he sent us over the first draft of something.

would like to read, and I really like it.
This guy's name is Hot Sauce Hill.
It says, I love this podcast.
I'm a rec dean. I've listened to Jacob Trace since the beginning. I It says, I love this podcast. I'm a rectian.
I've listened to Jacob Trace since the beginning.
I wanted more and stumbled upon this gym.
Brad brings so much fun and always keeps me giggling.
I am not a Christian.
And I don't really believe in organized religion,
but I can still listen to them because on a human level,
we are all the same.
I appreciate that you don't shove the Lord down my throat,
but also stay true to your faith and beliefs.
We don't all have to be exact same to appreciate
one another. Thanks for helping me through hard times.
I often use them as a palate cleanser
between true crime podcasts. What can I say?
I'm a little quirky.
What a palate cleanser that would be.
Hot sauce hill. You know, I
appreciate you saying all that. That's really cool. I think that's
great. I appreciate the candor.
Great, the John candor? Great thoughts. And yeah, we try not to shove the Lord down your
throat or anywhere. I don't think the Lord wants to be shoved. Not in a box, not in a... Not in
an orifice. You don't put, yeah, you don't put Lord in the corner. You don't put... Hey, thanks
for not like pushing a religion and shoving the Lord down my mouth. You don't hide it under a lamp.
Good.
Yeah.
Okay.
Haggis McGee.

Oh, man, Scottish accent?

Maybe just every, it's a long review.
Maybe just certain words.

Just certain words that feel extra Haggis.

the review literal years ago but here we are i cannot this is so, I cannot even begin to tell you how much this
podcast means
to me and how
it has shaped my life in
more ways than one.
Mondays haven't felt like that awful day of the week
for longer than I can remember and I can
with 100% certainty
say it's because of the laughter and joy
that comes from listening to you guys

Somehow On the first episode I just decided Okay. Hey, bruv. smiling years later and i'm happy to say that i'm married and taking the first steps to start my own business which has been a passion of mine for years it's so australian yeah now i feel like
i'm talking like john tyson but in even greater news i just found out i'm gonna be a dad i'm gonna
be a pop i'm gonna be a day jake absolutely hilarious, and I'm completely jealous of your quick wit,
but Brad has been someone that I genuinely look up to
and think of as a man I strive to be like.
It's so funny that I'm talking in this accent while he says these nice things.
You were able to step out on faith to start your business
and are an amazing example of what God wants a father to be to the family.
The next steps in my life scare me,
but getting to listen to you talk about your life
and seeing your fatherhood firsthand
gives me immense hope and something to work toward.
Thank you both for all you do.
God's working through you in more ways
than you could even imagine.
Love you guys.

but also just thanks for the kind words.
I think it's fun.

Hark the herald angels sing.
Glory to the newborn king.
Peace on earth and mercy mild.
God and sinners
reconciled.
