Jake, I had a monumental biff this past week. Uh-oh. Broke your arm? Yeah, kind of. Broke my pride a little bit. No, just a – I was at Starbucks – no, sorry. Main Street Roasters North. North Branch.

Yeah. And there was a guy there that we've never met, but boy, do we know, boy, are we entertained by, we don't know his name. Oh, we don't know his name. We don't know his name. Still don't know his name because I didn't talk to him. We both know a guy and we don't know his name. We don't, we, we know his personality.

We know things that he loves. We definitely know things that he hates. Is this Topkov, the Topkov greeter? Nope. Have we ever talked about that guy? I don't know. That's how irrationally angry I get at that guy. Nope.

We know. What is something that we both are very entertained by that somebody else just vocally hates? Can you think of anything? Is this on a screen or in real life? On a screen. We've talked about it on the podcast minimally. You and I love it, but there's one person in our lives that hates it. One person in our lives is a strong, whatever.

I'll give, I'll give it away more. So, um, we've talked about on the podcast before, uh, there's this pickleball page, Lenexa, and there's one guy who runs the page who absolutely despises the fact that this pickleball park in Lenexa in Kansas City is being used for leagues and just cannot stop talking about leagues. Posting about it. Every comment is about it. Oh, and so Jake and I have just taken it upon ourselves to very subtly comment back, you know, just almost like stoking the fire.

I left a new one this week. I've enjoyed talking like a boomer in it. Sometimes I'll like misspell things or whatever, but this time I just left. So he was like, it's time. I say it again. No leagues.

And I commented and I said, say it louder for no, just that. But then he replied to it a little bit later. I forgot what he said, but, uh, so you're,

you might be thinking like Brad, like you didn't talk to this guy. You don't know this guy's name. You didn't have any interaction with them. How do you know this guy was the owner of the Lenexa pickleball Facebook page? I'll tell you why Jake. I mean, there were, there was signs on the Lenexa pickleball page. He's always promoting this one specific type of paddle called who def who H U D E F. I don't know why. And they're always like, who defs looking good. And you know, in the tournament in Florida, you know, whatever, all this different stuff.

So he had a who def hat on. That's how I first recognized like, Oh, I've heard of that. And then I looked down at his shirt. You'll never guess. Well, the next a pickleball page managers shirt has on it. I already love the premise that you can identify someone as the admin of a Facebook page by their t-shirt bro, because literally on his t-shirt is a screenshot of Lenexa pickleball page.

I'm not making this up. Like it is just the entire shirt is just a screenshot of like, yeah, the, the, the cover photo, Lenexa pickleball page and i biffed it i didn't say a thing to this guy i could have i could have slow played it and been like oh you you love lenexa pickleball too like you run the leagues there yeah because it's so many things could have been like i mean i used to go there but then it's just gotten overrun by the league i don't know who's been showing up on tuesday thursdays but someone's different yeah i should i should have downplayed it and maybe I'd not even said

leagues, but just like does it seem like it's gotten a lot busier to you with like different different quality of people like the public is still out there a lot, but it seems damn. It's just something's going on, right? I think people don't respect Lenexa or these courts like I used. It doesn't seem like these are the next

people. I mean just didn't say any of it. The guy walked away and I've been thinking about it ever since. Oh my gosh, like four days ago. You have to find him again, right? You have to get a picture with a guy with the screenshot of a Facebook page

of a t-shirt. Well, why don't we do that? First of all, why don't we make merch that says ghost runners podcast Facebook page? We have to. I've never seen anything like it. Okay. So here's what I'll say.

In response to should we make Facebook page merch, let me echo the thoughts of Lenexa Pickleball Page when he replied. So my comment was say it louder for his reply. Tell I'm blue in the face so those are my thoughts about facebook page t-shirts oh that's perfect i mean literally just right there say it louder for till i'm till i am blue in the face i mean this guy and you know it's like a one-off like shirt like's not. A one-of-one. There's no way. He's like, I'll print 30 of those for me and my buddies. That guy has his own t-shirt.

That is amazing. It does leave no doubt. Is this the guy who runs it? Yeah. Yeah. There's your answer. There's your answer. That's awesome.

That's a fun story to start off the episode. Yeah. Uh-oh. Ooh, I think this tight beat means that it's going down with some random thoughts and white meat too. Midwest best friends eating fast food on repeat. So come along, let's have some fun

and go ahead, get on your feet, cause this is the Ghost Rubs Podcast. Everybody morning, we're taking round Ghost Rubs Podcast. Ghost Rubs Podcast. Good morning, we're taking round Us on this podcast Go for a podcast Rachel and I went to a high school volleyball game last night Yes, I heard Rachel's B-Real, I'm sure

Is that how it happens? And then Rachel came over for a while when she got home Oh, Rachel in B-Real Life Yes, right Rachel B coming over So yeah, it was pretty fun it was uh because rachel's been working at a new high school and she's like they have volleyball game we should go and i was like oh my gosh it's not so fun she's like okay do you actually want to go i was like

yeah no seriously i like i'm in okay no seriously like stop like messing with me like do you stop what are you turning into a prank youtuber now just don't just stay home nights of the night jim that's our real name. It's a great name. No. Yeah, that's funny. Yeah. So, but no, we went and it was really fun. There was a certain point though, where I just, I love sports and I love, I love being

taught things in general, but especially like by Rachel, I think it's so fun to find areas of life where she knows more than me about it and ask her questions. So volleyball is obviously one of those things. So I'm just asking a million questions and like, all right, I have a theory. Tell me if I'm true. All right, this and I'm pointing and after a while is like, I need to stop Rachel. Be honest with me. Who is creepier right now? Me

just don't have a single affiliation here. Just pointing at underage girls and whispering about them or that guy there was a guy dressed in all black with a camera on the corner and she's like i still think you i was like yeah so you cannot go to the bathroom without me like you cannot leave here as long as i'm with you i think i'm all right like like you're too you're too young to be a dad yeah so it doesn't make sense you're too old to be a boyfriend yeah Like there's no way they they're like, maybe he's just a college guy. That's just back, you know,

visiting his senior in high school girlfriend. Like, Nope. Yeah. I think we are going to do this again. Cause it was fun. So I gave Rachel homework. I was like, all right, here's, uh, my idea and your homework is to find the two, some of the two best teams in Kansas city and like, let's go watch them play. Let's go, let's go watch them like really high level volleyball. Yeah. And so, uh, but yeah, I think that when I, we go to that game, I will bring a clipboard, maybe a radar gun just in case I get left alone. Hey, I'm a scout. Right. Hey, you ever, and I think Rachel asked me what team I'd be a scout for. And I think I want to keep it vague. Like I go, I approach the girls and say

like, well, you ever thought about becoming a wildcat? Yeah. Could be anybody. Kentucky K state. Yeah. What do you know about the tigers? Yeah. There's like four in the sec alone.

Yeah. That's great. Hey, ever thought about becoming a tiger, Missouri, Auburn, Auburn. Yeah.

Clemson, which I guess is in the sec, but yeah, that is a lot of tigers. A lot of tigers. Got to be the highest mascot, right? Gotta be. Gotta be. That's fun. Yeah, volleyball was cool.

Have you ever been to a UNI volleyball game? Northern Iowa, Rachel's alma mater? I have not. I think that'd be fun to go to with her, because then she could really explain, like, I don't know, college volleyball is, like, really amazing. Like, they're really good. It's, I hope that, I should say, it seems like people are starting to, like, they're really good. It's, I hope that I should say,

it seems like people are starting to like, get it. I feel like the attendance, it like college volleyball games. It's like really impressive. Yeah. Like from someone who, I don't know.

I didn't go to vision with school. I didn't know what to expect, but like seeing it now, like obviously the Nebraska game is kind of an outlier, but even some other game was on recently. Kind of an outlier or like a massive, massive outlier. They played in a football stadium yeah but

like i think we were back in iowa so they're watching some nebraska or you know wisconsin kentucky volleyball game and it was like wow let's say they sold out this arena and so i was like this is cool good for volleyball i think it's one of those things where like once you watch it you're like okay this is awesome that's pretty fun like i knew a lot of energy a lot of my friends at k state were really into like going and watching the volleyball game. Like, and at K state they specifically play like they have a new,

I mean new arena for basketball. That's huge or not huge, but you know, whatever, 12,000, but they have an old field house that they still play volleyball in. And so it's like, you know,

4,000, like not a huge place. And so it just feels like everyone's like right there watching on top of each other kind of thing. It's so, it's awesome. There's something to like loudly cheer for every 20 seconds at volleyball. Yeah.

You know, you don't get that in a lot of other sports. Right. Yeah. That's fun. Cool. So yeah, it was good.

It was good to just like, you know, I hadn't had just really crappy concession stand popcorn in a while. It was good to get some, just like really average, barely salted, barely buttered. Yeah. Came in a little bag. Popcorn is nice. Came in a while. It was good to get some. Just like really average, barely salted, barely buttered. Yeah.

Came in a little bag popcorn. It was nice. Came in a little bag. Pre-bagged for you. It was pre-bagged. How much were they charging these days? You know,

I liked it. The menu, there was no menu. It was just one QR code. Laminated. Gosh, these days. It was one laminated

piece of paper on the desk that said everything, $2. Easy enough. Great2 easy enough. Great. Easy enough. Loved it.

I like that strategy for a business in general. Like everything is the same price. I like, yeah, some things are way too expensive. Some things are a good deal. You figure out what you want. It'll all buff out. Yeah.

Like in that movie, uh, don't mess with the Zohan. The, um, a lot of people referencing that everyone, everyone knows that movie, right? But one of the businesses was called

Going Out of Business Store. It was permanently called that because it gets people there. I think that's what we do. It's called Everything Must Go. Oh, okay. For $25. Yeah.

In a whole store. $25 store. I like that. $100 store. Yeah. It's kind of the same. We kind of just backtracked our way into that's what the dollar store is like i guarantee you some things in the dollar

store cost wholesale you know 75 cents like they're not a great deal like you know three pack of batteries not that cheap you know but like uh whatever but the five paper plates probably cost them two cents well done yeah, we figured it out. So. It's fun. So yeah. Yeah. High school volleyball. That's great.

Yeah. I just, I just can't get over the pickleball guy. Yeah. That's pretty fun. I mean, I've never gotten that close to a celebrity. That's really fun. This guy is not afraid to just be very vocal about how he how he feels what he believes

yeah in pickleball I'd like to experience him in real life see what he's like maybe someday where did you team begin you were at

Main Street Roasters North Main Street Roasters North yeah what street is that off of Main Street got it that's a trick question well done

Main Street yeah yeah okay Napanee Street in Indiana cool should we do schmorz let's get into it i'm excited about it yeah let's get into it i'm excited too we haven't done one in a couple weeks i think last time time in one it was the instruments one he dominated us

with voice i'm guessing blah blah blah got him a lot of votes yeah um so time and you get to pick the order this week schmorz is people who go by one name so kind of you know yeah i don't know what the rubric is exactly but that's schmorrs and let's say it's presented by robeck oh yeah grkc 20 sure 20 off they're not like an official like you we have to have x amount of episodes that we talk about robeck just hey every time you order we get a little kickback from it and we love roback we're wearing it all the time the best hoodie i think that yeah the most comfortable little casual hoodies you can get so little casual hoodies hoodies especially i was wearing one yesterday i know i've been wearing i have two of them and i've been wearing

the heck out of them it was great they messaged they deemed friday pickable out of the blue and i was wearing a roback hoodie and roack joggers when they DMed me. I took a selfie. I was like, hey, I'm wearing the stuff as you sent this to me. They're great. R-H-O-B-A-C-K.com. GRKC20 is the promo code. People who go by one name.

You decide the order? Let's go Jake, Tymon, Brad. I knew you were going to make me go first. I had a grape in my mouth. You. I had a grape in my mouth. I didn't know that. You knew I had a grape in my mouth. Dude, Rachel always gets the biggest green grapes.

Dude, how does she do this? I mean, you could play ping pong with that grape. Wow. And are they like good consistency too? Yeah, they're juicy. Yeah, I would say they're plump. Chewy though. You can't get ones that are like crisp.

If they're squishy, that's bad. Yeah, no, these are crisp. There's some resistance when you bite absolutely yeah that's too bad if you had a cavity you would have trouble eating these i think because they're just they're really yeah they would be sensitive on your teeth cold and yeah strong all right i gotta go first this is tough i would i don't want to go first in this there's so many good answers yeah there is a lot of good ones but now i'm gonna go first and then what fifth it's a big gap i'm going to miss out a lot of the good good boys and girls i'm going to go with kobe it's got to be kobe wow i i forgot about him on the entire list you didn't even have on your list i didn't even have on my list yeah there are no

sports really dang i could have picked him last. I can't believe that. To me, it just seems like one, I mean, yeah, it's just like the uniqueness, the success he had with the name Kobe, and also just like even before he passed away, just like how often that first name was being used. Oh, yeah.

Like I don't want to say some of the other ones on the list, but people aren't, when they strum a guitar, they're not saying fill the blank, you know, but like it became more than just his name. It became a cultural, like meme, like real life meme. Kobe. Yeah.

You say Kobe and you don't say Kobe Bryant. Yeah. Number eight, then number 24. Bryant. Stoudemire. Shacks partner. Yeah. No, I, my kids say Kobe when they throw things in their laundry hampers and it's awesome.

It's like my crowning achievement. That's fun. Good answer. Still a little bummed that you didn't have it on your list. I feel like I could have saved that one. No, it was, you know, we talked last episode about hit or miss. And like, oh, that's a good answer. That's really good.

I didn't have it on there, but that's a good answer. Yeah, that is great. Maybe there's less crossover than I think between all of our answers. I doubt it. I think that was just an a that was a uh just a yeah anomaly so all right tywin all right jesus dang dude that was gonna be my first pick wasn't on my list that's a miss yeah yeah i don't know oh come on christ yeah? Yeah, but Jesus. Hey, if I say Jesus, who are you talking about?

Maybe a laborer. He goes by Jesus. No. I think Christ gets thrown around a lot. I feel like they're like both are good first names. Okay, so pick Christ. Pick Christ with your pick. Same guy.

I mean, yeah, Jesus is... Everyone knows you're talking about Jesus. Yeah, exactly. Unless you're a laborer in Mexico. And even so, I think, if you're referencing Jesus. I didn't say Jesus. I said Jesus. You said Jesus, which only is English.

Okay. Good answer. Any other expanding on that? Man, I forgot. I don't think so. Speaks for himself. Jake's like, oh, Jesus. Yeah. Jesus is good. Can't believe Tywin gave that to me with the first pick. He knew he could get Jesus second. He didn't. He knew. He knew. He didn't pick me first. I think I would have gone Jesus number one, one, one. That's fine. That's fine. Which one won't say Jesus? I'll win this with pop culture people only. All right.

My first pick is also going to be an athlete. Athlete. The greatest golfer to ever exist, Tiger. Dang, didn't have him on my list either. Really? Yeah, because I think of Isaac's dog. Oh, that's true. There are two Tigers out there.

Come here, Tiger. I think of all the SEC teams. Are you talking Clemson? True. True. Hey, bad pick for me. My bad. I don't even want to play with you guys.

Guys, I don't even want to play soccer. Just the most iconic name for an athlete, I think. Like Tiger. And obviously, his name's Eldrick. Would he be as successful if he won by Eldrick his whole life? Eldrick Woods. There's no way. He might be as successful as a golfer,

but it would not be a successful brand. Tiger is... Eldrick Woods PGA Tour. It doesn't sound the same. Yeah. Instead of the T W on the bag, it just says EW. Yeah.

Not great. It literally is. Ew. Ew. Tiger. I mean, tiger is tiger. Just absolutely iconic.

That course at Branson. Uh, I can't think of the name of the now, but, um, Oh, pains Valley. They've got the,

the tips are called the tiger teas. Eldrick teas would not get it done. Or the Woods. Yeah, no way. And then, of course, there's a lot of other second names. Wow. I hope I have none of them on my list. You're going to have this one on your list.

I'm going to go with one of the fathers of rock and roll, Elvis Presley, a.k.a. Elvis. You said his last name. Wow. That is a sign. That's a bad pick. You did not think we would know who you were talking about. No, I did too. I need to say the last name. Wow. That is a sign. That's a bad pick. You did not think we would know who you were talking about. No, I did too. I need to say the last name so they know who I'm talking about.

No. Elvis Presley. No. No. Elvis Presley. Elvis Presley. No. That's not true.

Everyone knows he's got two names. You can't say the last name. Yes, you can. People who go by one name. Yes, you can. Elvis. Elvis Presley. name. Yes, you can. People who go by one name. Yes, you can. Elvis. Elvis Presley. Elvis.

Kobe Bryant Kobe. I hear what you guys are saying. That's a bit. But you guys know. There's one Elvis. So you didn't need to say Presley. Yeah. I think if you believed it, you wouldn't have said Presley.

Dang. Okay, fine. It's just more as Biff. Either way, he is just an iconic uh rocker yeah he was second on my list elvis elvis elvis elvis oh elvis yeah mr presley i'm gonna say i'm gonna say the last days of all these people now you just have to all right tiger and elvis are my picks okay those are good i'm gonna go it's hard because i don't't know how famous level ranking all these people are. I just know they're all super... Obviously, they're all

famous. They should be good. One of these is going to be pretty good in here. Sinbad? I'm not really sure. I saw the movie First Kid once. Is Toby Mac one word? Is that one name? It's hard to decide, but there's one my guts going i'm gonna go with adele good answer yeah yep yep that i don't even know what her last name exactly real

name is i really wanted to get adele for that reason i think her real name is adele something yeah but last name though i think that's a good time if you don't even know the last name then i think that's a true testament to if you don't even know their last name, then I think that's a true testament to... If you don't even know their last name, they might not be that famous. Adele Laurie Blue Adkins. Her last name is Blue? I think her middle name is Blue.

Oh, yeah. Adele Laurie Blue Adkins. Unless it's like she's been married and made names Blue. I don't know. Blue seems pretty marketable. Good for her. Didn't even use it.

Okay. Yeah, back to me. Now I have two in a row all right let's go we're gonna go music back-to-back music let's go drake prince okay nice what's drake's last name what is his his name's Aubrey. You know that? Yeah, I knew his first name. I don't know. Drake's a dork. What's Prince's name in general? Prince's name is Prince.

I think. Really? Let's look it up. What's the last name? Charming. Prince's real name. Prince Rogers Nelson. Yeah,

it gets lamer as you go. Prince is a good place to stop. Prince is the most like fascinating i don't know anything about him that much like but the little i do know it's like he's so mysterious yeah i know he loves the color purple and at one point he was like i'm not a name anymore i'm this symbol yeah which is and the symbol was the artist formerly known as Prince. Yeah. Which is cool. Wild. Celebrities are so weird.

Yep. So Drake, so you're talking about Aubrey Drake something? Let me figure out his full name. I'm talking about Drake. You're talking about Aubrey Drake Graham? Graham, huh? Maybe he's related to Rachel's grandma. Could be.

They look similar. Really? Big smiles. Yeah. They look similar. Really? Big smiles. Yeah. They look happy. Yeah. Yeah, I feel like he's, yeah, I mean, Drake speaks for himself. He's like the best-selling rapper of all time.

Okay. Good pick. Kobe, Drake, and Prince. Solid. Timing us, Jesus and Adele. I'm going to go with it's so hard to decide yeah there's a lot of good answers there are a lot

we'll stick with music I'll go Eminem I almost went there I'm also seeing something on my list that was ranked higher than Drake and Prince and I'm an idiot for not taking it that's just going to be sometimes I think you're doing mental games with me I gotta figure out what that one was. I promise I'm not sorry.

No, Eminem is good. He was he's on my list. I hope you don't lose yourself here. Timon Eminem. Yeah, good answer. I really went back and forth on Eminem because I feel like when I was young, well, I was going to say when I was young, Eminem was really inappropriate. I think he was always inappropriate, but like he got serious and appropriate eventually.

Like, uh, the real Slim Shady was kind of, it was, it was mean, it was rude. It was crude, angry rap. And then lose yourself. It was like, yeah, you're serious about this. You're just, you're just cussing. Oh, I would say those are for sure in the same era. That's no. Really?

I mean, that's, yeah. Oh, I think I've made like more recently the last five years like rap god like forgot about Dre and Slim Shady and all that stuff is like early Eminem is it lose I don't know that yeah and then again I'm thinking of it and like in my childhood not in my lifetime so maybe maybe not

look it up for me well I didn't think about any of this because I'm going for do you know Eminem's real name Marshall Mathers yeah I just looked it up. Marshall Bruce Mathers III. M. Yeah. Okay.

Dang, now I just want to figure out whatever Jace is. I'm going to go... I'm going to say her last name. The Queen Bee, Beyonce Knowles. That was it. A.K.A. Beyonce. That was it. That was one of my ones I was going between.

Beyonce is such a big deal that when you type in Beyonce in your notes on your phone, it auto-corrects to put the E with the accent on the top because they know you're trying to spell Beyonce. Forgot about Drake. Drake came out in 99. Lose Yourself was in 2001. Okay, fine.

Well, I still think they're different. Well, those are different ears. Let's see. And then my last pick, I'm going to go back to sports. I'm going to go with LeBron James. LeBron.

Wow. LeBron? Yeah. Yeah. What about it do you not like? The fact that he's not truly one name or the fact that he's not good enough to be on the list i feel like he's not a one name guy really yeah lebron i lebron james yeah i think they're together lebron james i mean the massive vine the meme like his names go together well oh yeah that's that's fair i'm not saying they don't go together but i think people do call him lebron a lot you would i mean like i would know who lebron is yeah i wouldn't have to hear lebron james i feel like when we're talking about him we never

say his last name totally but i think also you think about and you never say james you say lebron like sometimes we're saying like yeah mahomes is really good but you never say i think it's a whole different category of like people i'm picking you don't even know their last name you know i mean you have no idea no one has ever learned or known their last name what was like lebron's like lebron james what was like the example that you gave whenever you're like we should do this category you said like elvis we know elvis's last name i didn't pick him well i did it is a good pick. I know Beyonce's last name, which you said was a good pick. I'm talking about LeBron. In your face.

LeBron. Tiger's last name. I know his last name. That's what I'm saying. You're saying all my picks are terrible. I like my picks. All right, Tymon, your choice. All right.

Jesus and Eminem in the same list. Doesn't get any easier. Oprah. Good answer. Oprah Winfrey. Doesn't get any easier. Ah, Oprah. Mm, good answer. Oprah Winfrey. I know her last name. Oprah's really good.

She was not on my list, but that was a good one. Yeah, I agree. That's, yeah, that's a really valuable name. Like,

that's its own, like, TV channel now. Totally. Yeah. That's a big deal. Any other thoughts? Big Oprah guy?

Not really. Tune in. What's thoughts? Big Oprah guy? Not really. Tuning in. What's your favorite thing Oprah, you know, does, has done? Anything, Tyler? I like her favorite things list. Nice, nice. I saw that she's getting to flack recently

because I guess instead of like donating to Maui, she's been trying to raise money for Maui. Like asking other people for money. Her with the rock. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, there's something. And maybe they did donate money too, but I don't really look into that kind of stuff. It's just like, oh, Twitter's upset.

What is it today? Alright, Oprah and The Rock did something wrong. Alright, my last pick. The pick that's probably going to lose me the schmores. Kobayashi. Remember him? Who? He was a really famous really really famous like the most famous

yeah um professional eater he would like he was this little like eastern asian person who would just devour like 60 hot dogs in 10 minutes he would do the nathan's like hot dog eating contest and he was such a small guy that his stomach would expand, look like he was pregnant. He's just one of those guys no one else knows his name. He goes by Kobayashi.

When it comes to one name identification, yeah. Everyone knows Kobayashi. He just came to mind. I didn't want to do another music person, so I chose Kobayashi. Well, I did not know who that was, but,

but I'm probably overshadowed by Joey chestnut these days, but three out of four, not Kobayashi was like, he was like the original, like dip it in the, maybe not, but like that was the first time I saw like hot dog, dip it in the water.

So it goes down your gullet faster. So good. Okay. Uh, so Jake's got Kobe, Drake, Prince, Kobayashi. Jake has, or sorry, Timon has Jesus, Adele, Eminem, Oprah. Brad has Tiger Woods, Elvis Presley, Beyonce Knowles, LeBron James. That's fun. The one I probably should have gone with is Cher. Like she's a great one name person. Yeah. I got another person. You don't know their last name. Sting. Oh, that's fun the one i probably should have gone with is share like she's a great one name person yeah i got another person you don't know their last name sting oh that's good what about emerald who the the cook from back in the day oh emerald bam bam yeah yeah emerald emerald uh shack which i know you know his name but shack is good emerald. Shaq is a good one. Shakira. That was on my list.

Really? Yeah. Shakira's a good one. I can't believe you thought of Emeril. I know. It was a random one. I think he has a name that last name people know, but I don't remember it.

Bono. Oh, that's good. Mysterious. Who's this guy? Rihanna. That's good. There's a lot of musicians. Madonna.

I had Madonna. Botswana. No, I lot of musicians. Yeah. Madonna. I had Madonna. Botswana. No, I'm just kidding. Do you have Tupac? No. Tupac Shakur. Usher. And my favorite honorable mention,

Tymon. I had Tymon on my list too. Did you? Yeah. Wow. Like Tymon's a good enough name where it stands by itself. That's what...

That's so funny. I want to be the Instagram at Tymon so bad. Yeah. Like, I've DM'd the account multiple times. Really? And they just haven't seen anything. That's funny. We both had Tymon on our list.

Yeah. That's awesome. Just legendary by itself. Jake, Brad, people don't know who you're talking about. Tymon? Absolutely. Oh, yeah. Yeah.

My remember mentions, yeah, I had Cher, Tymon, Tupac. I know they're not a person, but some reason Seabiscuit came to mind. Really any horse. Secretariat, Barbaro. You don't know their last name. Go by one name, Seabiscuit. That's it, whole movie. It's called Seabiscuit.

And then Diddy, but I didn't really like that one. So I didn't say it. That's why you didn like that one. That's why you didn't say it. Jordan, kind of, for the sake of the brand. Also, I didn't say it, though. Because people call him MJ a lot. Michael Jordan really goes together. Might be a lot of another guy who plays basketball number 23.

LeBron. LeBron James. Tymon, do you have any extras? I just six that I didn't use Beyonce, Rihanna, Drake, Shakira, Zendaya Zendaya Zendaya Zendaya was one of the first that I thought of

I was like just one name Tymon's got some Tom Holland vibes to him Yeah You can get yourself a Zendaya Tymon She's out there Don't you settle Tymon a Zendaya time. She's out there. Don't you settle, Tymon. Your Zendaya's out there.

She is out there. I'll tell you something that goes by one name. If you put it in a URL, Mateshowroaster.com. Boom! All one word. That's right. As long as you don't put spaces between it.

Also, just quick, what do we used to call that? Irrational anger? irrationally strong opinion yeah the phone autocorrect just this morning triplet jake at gmail.com and it's like yeah that's probably what you meant dot con yeah you really you see an at sign you see gmail you see dot and then co and you think oh the letter right next to m yeah i bet he meant that i think you do dot co and you think, oh, the letter right next to M? Yeah, I bet he meant that. I think you do dot C-O, and you put any letter in there, it should autocorrect to M. Yeah, so I slipped a Z in there. Look, I know you meant

com. I'm not going to hold it against you. And surely phones can eventually learn if you have a dot cos or whatever. Oh, you went back and put a Z there five times in a row. We'll stop doing dot com for you. Hey, that's our bad. But.com. .com. It's like, all right, you're good. Keep

going. We have the most advanced software in the world, and yet they can't figure that one out. Yeah, I watched the Apple keynote, because I was like, are they going to fix.com? They didn't bring it up once. No, they didn't bring it up. Android people are like, we don't ever have that problem. We had that for years.

MainstreetRoasters.com or com? Now you're getting me confused. It's com, like communism. Okay. Or community. Oh, yeah. No, that's wrong. No, either one.

Whatever. Well, if you... Yeah, you got it. Communism. Communism. Let's say you're visiting Mainstasters in Nappity, Indiana. Yep. You're going to look around and you're going to be like,

People who go by one name. You want to do some wins? Yeah, let's do win of the who go by one name. You want to do some wins? Yeah, let's do one of the week. Mine was my release radar. Every Friday, Spotify gives you a playlist of all the new music that came out with artists you follow, artists you listen to. There were a lot of pretty good songs in there, but the first two it started with were just heaters.

Some weeks, it's a really dry week. Like, oh, nothing. First one, Cloudy by Surfaces. Yeah, Cloudy? Oh. Clouds? I don't know. Clouds.

Go ahead. Cloud. Cloud. Kimi no Numbus by Surfaces. Is it an adjective? Is it a noun? Yeah. I don't know what they're saying,

but I know the album artwork is a cloud, and it's a fun little happy song. Cloud. Hey. Hey, Cloud. Hi, Cloud. Yeah. And then the second song after that. Did you. Hey. Hey, Cloud. Hi, Cloud. Yeah.

And then the second song after that. Did you know that's the other guy, Colin, is singing it? Isn't that interesting? He, the whole, all of it? Because I was like, they're not mentioning who's on this track besides Forrest. Because Forrest is doing the verse, I think, right? I don't know if he does. I think it's all Colin. I have not really intently listened to it, but I've probably listened to it 10 times

and never really thought while I'm listening. Wow. But yeah, fun song. I don't know which song, but when I first heard it, I was like, this reminds me of a B.O.B. song, which I haven't heard since high school. Okay.

But it's out there. It reminded me of a song by Grizzly Bear. How's it go? What is that song? It goes like that, yeah. I've never heard of Grizzly Bear. And then the second song was a song by Lauren Daigle called Turbulent Skies.

Okay. I think it's the catchiest song I've ever heard Lauren Daigle make. And similarly to Surfaces, I was like, okay, there's clearly a man singing 80% of the song, but no credits, no man to be found. It's hard to find the credits these days for men, you know? Men don't get any credit ever.

And I wonder how that works in music. Like if you, if you pay someone to just be a, a voice in the studio, you know, you just don't have to credit them basically. I don't know how that works. I think sometimes,

yeah, I just, I, I truly, I'm joking about the men credit thing, but like it is hard sometimes to find on Spotify, like some places it will say there who, who's singing with them,

but it's not always in the title or it's not always in the, you know, artist thing. Cause then it messes up. hard sometimes to find on spotify like some places it will say they're who's singing with them but it's not always in the title or it's not always in the you know artist thing because then it messes up like you know it's no longer in lauren daigle's profile or something because it says lauren daigle and bear reinhardt or something but it's like i don't know but there's some times where it's like oh that wasn't there but it was there you know like the album like if you go there maybe it'll say it i don't know the music industry feels a lot like advertising like broadcast advertising where it's like presented by nascar or like brought to you by or proudly presents like all three of those things are different pay structures i've learned before like the way they say the official sponsor the official sponsor of um we are brought to or

whatever i forget what i've said already but i learned that one time it's like oh yeah it really matters how you say it because it you know they're paying for different verbiage which of course 95 of america we don't know the difference yeah who cares um but the music industry feels like that from the outside looking in it's like sometimes the artist's name will be in the in the title of the song um other times they're not in the title and they're just accredited artists you know within it i'm like is that a different pace structure how'd you agree on this other times like um for instance i stopped on my head lonely by justin bieber in the title of it says lonely featuring or like with benny blanco benny blanco is just a producer i mean it's like throwing dj calvin there's like he's not doing anything

how did he get his name in the title of a song he's produced thousands of songs why this one is he in it yeah what did he pay for that? Like back when, uh, Justin Timberlake and Timbaland were doing all that stuff. Yeah. And it was just like all his beats maybe. And so it's like, Hey, I basically made this song. You're just making it sound good. Yeah. Maybe he had some agreement. Like you don't have to pay me as much, but I want to get my name out there. So put me in every song. Yeah. Who's Macklemore's guy, Ryan Lewis. Yeah. Like you learned his name a lot. Yeah. You know.

And his was always in there. It was like Macklemore, Ryan Lewis. Uh-huh. Yeah, I don't know. I'm just curious. We'll figure it out. Outside looking in. Let's find out.

Yeah. I didn't know you were a big, whatever it was, release radar? Release radar. You do that every Friday? Yeah. That's fun.

Just listen to like the first five to 10 songs or so. Uh-huh. So yeah. That's cool. It's nice. Maybe at the end first five to ten songs or so. That's cool. It's nice. Maybe at the end of this, maybe put Cloud in. Okay. Or Turbulence, guys.

Either way, just listen to them. Okay. They're good. Cool. I need to listen to more music in my life. I don't do it enough. TJ was like, yeah, the best part about living on Maui is that you get all the new Friday stuff at 7 p.m.

or something like that. And I'm like, I never once looked at my Friday release thing ever. So, huh? Get into it. The song I was thinking of by grizzly bear was called two weeks. It's just the beginning little like piano thing,

but okay. Um, I went to the week. Oh, okay. Oh, um, yeah,

I guess I'll give, I'll give it to Rosie. It was between Rosie and Bo. Um, Rosie's just like my biggest fan right now. And she just smiles so big and just runs to me every time I see her. And it's awesome. It's like a great feeling to have her be so excited. And she's just such a little like Wadler right now. She's just like, and she's fast, dude. Like if she runs away from you, it's like, I got to kind of hustle to grab her. Like I can't just let her go.

Bo is a little slower. Um, no surprise there, but, um, no, Rosie's just my win of the week is just, just being her dad. And she's just sweet. So Rosie's cool. I got a little time with Rosie yesterday. Yeah. And she's just, what did I say?

I was like one. She's like, what? Between probably 15 months or so. Something like that. Yeah. I was like, her movements are just so unpredictable. I'm not around people this age very much. She's like, she's holding like a thing of tomatoes.

It'd just be like this. And she's holding and just staring at you. And it's like, she could do anything next. Yeah. I don't know if she's going to throw them or eat one or give one to me or run inside. Yep. It's fun just not knowing what like could happen.

And then eventually, you know, they're all going to fall out. But it's like, how long is it going to take? You know? So yeah, she was cute. That was fun. You came over the other day and just hung out with the kids or hung out with Hattie and Rosie at least.

Yeah. Yeah. My, my honorary winner. Like I will say like Sunday watching football with Bo, if it was any indication of like what the season holds, it's going to be awesome because we had lunch and then Bo and I sat there. He colored

and he watched football and every 15 seconds he'd say, Patrick Mahomes! Oh, fun. And I'm like, that's not, that doesn't even look anything like him, but he was excited. And it's red zone, you know, so he's always asking what teams there are and stuff. And it was one of those things where it was like, I hope that this becomes a tradition. If nothing

else, that way I can use it as an excuse of like, I'm spending time with Bo. We're watching football. So really fun. Cool. While I'm looking at it, there's a new comment of the week too. It's a Wednesday episode. I'm going to respond to a comment

because Abigail says, please help with lyrics, guys. It's such a catchy tune, but slightly unclear words. And she puts it quotes. Oh, I think this tight beat means it's going down with some random thoughts. The answer is and white meat because of my tick bite

with random thoughts and white meat. And or on random thoughts. Oh, I would think it would be and. I don't know. You wrote it though. You would know. I don't i i've heard it so many times i don't know i don't think it would be with random thoughts on white meat they seem like separate things we have random thoughts and we have white meat and it rhymes really well with tight beat random thoughts and white meat play it real quick time yeah it's one of it's one of those buttons. One of those buttons up here, I think, is the... Top right?

Yeah, there. Boom. Uh-oh. Ooh, I think this tight beat means that it's going down with some random thoughts in white. And two Midwest best friends eating fast food on repeat, so come along. Yeah, the idea was like, it's Chick-fil-A.

We talk about Chick-fil-A all the time. Yeah. Now it's Good Ranchers, you know. It's going down with some random thoughts and white meat. Random thoughts and white meat. Very good. There you go. Okay, mine is my comment.

I'm always going a little off the cuff with the comment stuff. It's an email from Maisie Ferguson. Ever heard of her? I have. Is this Mijo? Miji. She emailed us? Yeah.

That's awesome. Hello, Brad. Hello, Brad. Hello, Brad. Hello, Brad. She's still recovering from the British accent. Hello, Brad, Jake and O'Tyman. Midgey here. You want me to do this? Sure.

Basically, I won't read the whole thing, but she said on a long ago episode, you talked about how you would talk with Bo when he was misbehaving, not cooperating, saying the who's in charge, who's not in charge. When I tell you to do something, what do you do? She said, I don't remember what episode it was, but I'll go ahead and get to the point. Today was my first day teaching at a hybrid homeschool co-op.

You don't know how many times I used those exact words. As I created lesson plans last week, I racked my brain for a way to gently discipline or to bring those whose attention had wandered back to my instruction and then there it was. So thank you, Brad, for making my job a little bit easier and truly props to you for releasing such memorable content.

So anyway. I didn't even know that. Yeah, now you know. How old is Mitchie? She's teaching? She's almost 18. Homeschool, man. They release you at 12.

Yeah, yeah. All right, you've learned now. Go out. My new thing that I'm doing with Bo, just yesterday I started. I don't know if it's going to work or not, but I'll say, are you trying to be bad? All right, you've learned now. Go out. My new thing that I'm doing with Bo, just yesterday I started it. I don't know if it's going to work or not, but I'll say,

are you trying to be bad? Are you trying to be bad? And he'll say, no. I was like, try to be good. That's what I'm saying now. Try to be good. Just try. Well, just don't.

Try to be good. Are you trying to be bad? You know, kind of like letting them know like, hey, I don't know if you're trying to or not, but you're not doing the right thing. I don't like it. Are you trying to be, I don't know if it's a good idea or not but you're not doing the right thing. I don't like it. Are you trying to be, I don't know if it's a good idea or not,

guys. You can analyze it however you want, but are you trying to be bad? No, I'm not trying. Well, try to be good. I said that to him yesterday

as we were, he was screaming at me, you know, changing his pajamas. So, that's nice. So, a couple of quick hitters.

One, last Wednesday was a really fun, really crazy day. We did two episodes of Ghost Runners. Straight from that, Brad and I hop on a call. It was really exciting about our future, potentially, and the future, how do we tease them, Brad? We say the future was your city, possibly us. No, no.

Go straight from that. Then Tymon comes over, or he was already over. And then we do like this really high production video shoot. Tymon brings in all these lights, all these cameras. He also brought Zach. Lights, camera, Zach-tion. Zach-tion, that's right. That's good.

And it was fun. It was probably the highest production thing I've been a part of since middle school Maddox, probably at all for just like a little, like 60 second pickleball video, but time and crushed it. He had it edited by that night, which I, which is awesome.

Yeah. And on top of that, uh, you know, so I have to leave. So we hurry and shoot this i'm in like video mode it's me and rachel doing i'm coaching up rachel directing it whatever i'm in it and then um i have to leave as soon as we get done because i have to go to the correct opinions live show that was last week yeah so i'm doing stand up i'm doing this another correct or another

podcast that night but as i'm leaving like all right time and zach i'm just gonna leave you guys here we gotta got to go. But just don't worry about picking up anything. Whatever. We get back to our house. So it's a crazy night. Correct Opinions, the show went awesome. It was so fun. There's all these ghosties there. Elizabeth Virtual brought me homemade oatmeal cream pies.

Elizabeth, whatever you did, do it again. Those were amazing. Keep doing it. Whatever you did, tell Rachel how you did it, because I would love to have those around the house all the time. Those are great. Wait, was that, she gave one to Catherine? Maybe.

I don't know. We brought them over to the Chiefs game Thursday. Yeah, there was one in my house. I thought Rachel had made them. And I was like, wait, Rachel just made those. No, those were awesome. Yeah. I ate all Catherine's.

Yeah. She had one bite. I wish Rachel would not be as generous bringing them over to other people's houses and giving them to you. Like that was meant for me. Yeah. But it had like kind of unplanned ghost to hang out. I mean,

there was a good amount of them, um, who came to the credit opinion show. And so we all hung out and went to Andy's afterwards. Oh yeah. Get home. It's been a crazy long day. Probably the most like entertaining,

so to speak, I've ever done in one full day and get home at like 11 30 thinking like oh man i forgot we did kind of leave the house in a mess not with timon and zach around they went so like it wasn't just like they picked up the cameras and the lights it was like they also like not rearrange the room but like put things out of the fun but like put things away made the bed. I even noticed little things tied up like a charging cord and put the little Velcro on it.

All these little things I was still finding. I could not text time and fast. I was like, dude, you're such a wizard with his edit and with tidying and organizing, dude. It was awesome. It was so much fun cleaning with Zach. It was great.

He made the bed. Wow. Credit to Zach for the bed. What sheets did he make the bed with? Cozy Earth. Very good. Very good. Question mark.

Just making sure. But yeah, no, it was fun. Glad it was appreciated. Zach has an infectious energy about him, for sure. Good to have in the room. 100%. He's just excitable. Yeah. It was awesome. Like good to have in the room. A hundred percent. Like he's just, he's just excitable, you know?

Yeah. It was awesome. So yeah, it was just great. I, all I wrote down was time is a man. What was your thought? Like,

did you have a conversation or was it just like, Hey, it's understood that if we ever do like a high production shoot in somebody's room, we clean it up after. I'm trying to remember how it went. It was like, I think you had said just like,

you just grab like your gear, like you don't have to clean up. And I was like, I feel like i feel like that was that was maybe like oh we're cleaning up yeah like in my head and then we were like cleaning up and i was i told zach like we're we're gonna clean up we're gonna clean up and make it like cleaner than it's ever been like or something like that it was awesome it was it was fun it was uh yeah left uh it was it was a good touch and and the video was great too might be out when you guys are seeing this. Might not. I don't know. But either way, they crushed it.

It was really fun. So that was Wednesday. It was a great day. Good to see the ghosties. That day might have been my win of the week. Yeah? Yeah. Yeah, fun day.

See the video performance. But if nothing else, it's just fun to post things that are like, oh, we actually spent work and time on this. You know, like this is a little different than we normally do so yeah like high production yeah just cool to see yourself like lit up and i had glasses on and a turtleneck that's always fun i saw you look nice i think a bunch of people replied that like dudes too we're just like this is a look for jake hot yeah i wear glasses was that your turtleneck? Yeah. I love it. Thanks. Fun. Cool.

Thanks a lot. You want to do the music thing? The music thing? Yeah. Do you want to do the thing? All right. Let's talk Christian music. Last week, we talked about a Toby Mac song that I grew up listening to.

And I don't know if you guys have seen it or not, but it has gone viral on Instagram. Good at it. Tymon. Thank you. Good job, Brad. Thank you. And it's interesting with something in the religious realm. Oh my God.

Oh, the old religious realm. So, biblical worldview. Let's take a look. Anything religious, I think, hits the algorithm because then you get all sorts of commentary. Everybody's an expert. Everyone thinks their version of Christianity is the best. Racism was being a thrown around in the comments.

You get download or deactivated Instagram. So you probably seen a lot of this. I know racism. Crazy comments. What did we want? Okay, go ahead. Well,

I learned. So apparently the Toby Mac song, the Illuminati song we talked about last week, specifically, was a cover. So he puts this song on his album that's a cover, which is fine. People do that. I mean,

Luke Combs is making a lot of money doing that now with the Tracy Chapman song. I didn't know how many rappers did covers. That's interesting. Yeah, I don't know how often that's happening. Okay. I'm just trying to give him a bit of the doubt. So obviously,

we don't know this. Apparently, he was covering a song that was originally done by an artist named our band named soul junk but the exact same lyric so great what i i still say what i said it doesn't make any sense what are you talking about illuminati um so people are there were some comments like wow white people are really you know get a load of this you know or like these people hey you don't need to say that this music wasn't made for you it's like okay a soul junk like a black band or whatever look it up all white guys okay but

they're called soul junk that's yeah that's a good point and so the only replied one time to one person and it was just like so what do the words mean if you're not white then like seriously like am i missing something of course no one, no one replies. No one says anything. Yeah, the comments are wild. So take a look at those. Okay. They're pretty interesting. Just like everyone just thinks

it's like, I don't know. There's some people who are like, hey, just because it's Christian doesn't mean it has to be, you know, only Christian. It gets to be a fun song.

I am, that is great. You could have a fun song. Right. It's got to make sense though. It has to make sense. You can't, especially if you're a Christian, if you believe that you're being given talents

and you want to steward talent the best, is that the best you can do, producing gibberish? Yeah. I don't think so. I think it's just, we got to raise the bar a little bit. I don't care if you're a Christian or not. I think you just, you know, whatever. With that said, we've learned our lesson. We're not going to do any more Christian music

reviews. Psych! We're doing another one right now, and it's another Toby Mac song, okay? So today, Brad and I are going to look at another song from our childhood. It's a song by Mandisa featuring Toby Mac called Good Morning. How familiar are you with this song? Very. Yeah. I think we both were at Canic. How familiar are you with this song? Very. Yeah. I think we both were at Canicuck and they would play this song from time to time. That part's catchy. It's kind of a bop. I like this song. I loved playing it over the loudspeakers in the

morning. It would wake people up. Come on, we gotta go. Yeah, Catherine said she would like, yeah, listen to it in college like every once in a while. It is a good morning song. Absolutely. I would say. So Mandisa is the main artist,

but I think the third verse, old Toby Mac comes in and he lays down some heat. Yeah. So let's listen to it and get our thoughts. Okay. Skip straight to two-ish minutes? Yeah.

Cool. All right. It's good dude let's go toby hey What do you think, Dots? I love it, dude. No matter how you get up, man, God's good, I guess, is what I'm thinking in it. Yeah. I get it, dude. No matter how you get up, man, God's good, I guess, is what I'm thinking in it. Yeah, I get it.

I think it's another iteration of like, hey, this song's just supposed to be fun. It's supposed to be just whatever. I'm going to... Well, go ahead. I just... It's still... I mean, we have to address that. It's hilarious, just what he decided to write.

The morning time is a massive topic. There is plenty to write about, and it just seems so elementary or old-school rap. I don't know. You do Zumba, I do not. It's something about it that's kids-poppy or just Sesame Street Sesame Street to me. You do the Zumba, but I do not.

You do the Zumba, not me. Give me like half a marathon. I'll give you the gospel of St. John. What does, is he asking? That part is interesting. Yeah. That's the one I don't understand. Like you give me, you run, and I'll reward you with the book of John.

I'm timing you. Yeah. If you do good, I'll give you Matthew as well. Only four miles? Sorry. No gospels for you. I'll give you Nahum. We'll call it good there.

That part is probably the most confusing. I would say it's up there with hits me like a wake-up bomb. You know a wake-up bomb. Because I don't know what that means. Wake up. I'm awake. Now I am. I don't know what a wake-up bomb is.

Like, I think if you're trying to make a reference to something outside of waking up, like, morning time, man, it hits me like a dump truck. But to say wake up, it feels redundant. Like, you're already saying, like, morning time already woke you up.

Most of the time when I wake up, I go to the bathroom. Maybe that's what he's talking about. He's like, you know, that was a wake up bomb. I have, I have,

I wake up in the morning with a bomb. Here's a thought. Is it wake-o-bomb? Is this about anti-government? Wake-o-bomb. Wake-o-bomb. This is David Koresh. He's saying wake up to the wake-o-bomb.

Oh, okay. Maybe? Probably. Yeah, that's probably it. Wake-up-bomb is a bad line in there. Hits me like a wake-up-bomb. It doesn't make any sense. Hits me like... No, everyone gets it. doesn't make any sense. Hits me like...

No, everyone gets it. It rhymes with marathon and John. Mm-hmm. So perfect for Toby Mac. That part is just kind of interesting. And then the last part kind of trails off.

You're kind of expecting it to rhyme. Give me half a marathon. Give you the gospel of St. John. Hits me like a wake-up bomb, because we both know that his mercy flows in the morning. It's kind of like, oh. It's like the sneeze.

Oh, I thought it was a sneeze. Oh, I guess. In the morning. His mercy flows in the morning. It's good, though. I don't know. I've never really analyzed the lyrics except for top of the morning

to you Deesa and then I was just like I think it's a great line to start it with top of the morning to you Deesa and it's like yeah this is a song about the morning

it's the top of the morning hey Mandisa we're in this song together yeah great start to the verse have you always or ever noticed how Toby Mac always wants his name

before he like does his verses? Toby Mac! Kim! Mr. Mac to the mic. Yeah, that's how she said it. Mr. Mac to the mic. That's very formal of her. Yeah. Mr. Mac. Top of the morning to you, Deesa. He's very formal back. And Mr. Mac.

And Deesa. To you and yours, Mr. Mac. You say smoothie, me eyes cold. Coffee. Ule. What is it? Ule it I think is it a chambray coffee latte

latte you do the Zumba I do not oh you Zumba that's like the worst conversation ever oh you do Zumba oh yeah do you do zumba really do you oh yeah do you do too i don't no no you like smoothies in the morning ice cold pizza yeah

i have ice cold pizza so both cold so i get it and both, which is what we're talking about. And you run? I don't run, no. I read my Bible, you sinner. You jerk. Forget running. Toby Baggett just has social anxiety. It just is the worst connector. Just with everything.

Oh my gosh! Half marathon? Well, that hit me like a wake-up bomb yeah right everyone's thinking it if you just say hit me like a blank bomb you could put whatever you want in there wake up just seems redundant hit me like a wake-up bomb hit me like a grape bomb hit me like a buster bomb buster bombs buster bomb hit me like a buster bomb Like you can imagine what a wake-up bomb is, but you've never experienced one. Hit me like a kickball bomb. Hit me like a...

Hit me like a St. John bomb. Hit me like a St. John bomb. Reuse it again. Yeah. Hit me like a gospel bomb. That is something I would like to be hit by. Hit me like a cannon bomb. Cannon bomb.

Hey, cannon bomb! Do you do cannon bombs in the water? Yeah, cannon bomb! Do you do cannon bombs in the water? Yeah, do you? I do not. No. Not even like a no, I'm more of a can opener. Just like, nope. No, I don't. No.

No. No. Nope. Never done the Zumba. Nope. I do not. I do not. Nope. I do not. I do not. No, I do not. I do not. You did the Zumba, but I do not. I don't.

Yeah, he's like, I don't relate to you at all. You do the Zumba. I do not. So. All right. That was that. Those are our thoughts. Send us more Christian songs you want us to react to.

That one came from a comment from a ghostie. Which maybe I should clarify, all the comments from ghosties are amazing. But it's like these comments from people once it's the algorithm. Which that's what's interesting too is the type of person, like something came on my feed.

It is on my explore page or whatever. I'm scrolling. And like, I've never seen these guys. I don't understand the context. I don't understand who they are, but I'm going to comment something pretty like aggressive. I can't wait to comment. And yeah,

yeah. Try to hurt their feelings. Yeah. Like that's such an interesting, like you can't take any of those comments seriously. Cause like, I can't even imagine the type of person to leave a comment on like a viral clip.

Like they're just so outside of the realm of anything. Any of our friends would any like normal person would do. Timon, do you know anybody that's a commenter or no, let's, let's go back. Timon, do you ever comment on people's things?

And what do you say? If so, pretty rarely, if it's someone I don't know. Yeah, I think if it is, or can you think of a specific example of when you have, Oh man,

I don't know. There's some people it's like, I feel like they, maybe they connect with their audience well. So I feel like I like have the right to comment some people it's like i feel like they maybe they connect with their audience well so i feel like i like and have the right to comment i'll just like comment something like congrats or something like that okay yeah i don't know yeah but it is fun whenever a friend like someone i follow on instagram does comment on something you see it first yeah it's just funny to see what they yeah especially if sometimes they like you can tell

like i don't know of an example but they're trying to be the top comment or something like oh yeah i've been there which i've done that yeah like i got to get addicting if you ever get one like you get a top comment it is really fun to get a comment yeah i think you just got it's taking advantage of the moment it's like wow sports center just posted nine seconds ago yeah think it's something funny something funny yeah some new perspective on this all of a sudden you get 32 000 likes likes on your comment or something? I've never had anything like that. That'd be really fun. Top comment.

I just assume SportsCenter's got a lot. Most of my likes have gotten on comment. In the thousands, I think. I just don't know what. Yeah, I think I've had a few thousand. Maybe like a box. Ooh, I kind of want to try it now. Yeah.

Yeah. I bet that would get addicting. So maybe these people are like, hey, I just want to comment this to see if it can get the most likes. Get some traction. These guys certainly are racist. There's no doubt about it. A lot of them are just like,

people are getting arguments within themselves. Like it just, yeah, Christian music. It's got people fired up. Did you have a bunch of crazy comments on your AI thing that went viral? Oh, okay, wait. There's, see, not on mine really because it was like i'm the account that like made it but then this other account reposted it love a good uh repost yeah yeah yeah

oh i wish it was on accident i don't know that was a mistake that was a mistake i don't know how we downloaded that and reposted it i wish wish I could find it. There were some so just hilarious comments like, can you calm down? Yeah. Like it was like, like comments that I found hilarious, like technically negative. Right. I can't remember.

It was like, I don't know. Funny things like that. That's great. Trying to see what some of the, some of the best ones, just recent ones. So just a recent one,

just on our, yeah, the thing where we're just roasting Tobey Maguire. Yes, fire emoji. Pray this over us. That's an interesting one. You think that was serious? I don't know, I guess. Honestly, I'm not looking on Instagram.

I'm looking at notifications. So that could have been a reply to someone else. Oh, okay. So yeah, that's fair. People bashing this, but listening to crap artists like Eminem. Tymon. Tymon. That was your pick, dude. Good job, Marshall Mathers. Someone else. Still better than NF. Pretty sure reckless love is the worst. Reckless love is not the worst. Dude, people get fired up about reckless love. Do they? Yeah, because they're like, is God's love truly reckless? That's like a big debate.

I see. I'm in some worship leaders' Facebook groups, and yeah, people are like, do you guys play Reckless Love? Is that an appropriate song to sing? Do you guys think it's theologically accurate? So that's funny. Yeah. Wow, there are some people who,

I wonder if they're ghosties. Yeah, okay, one ghostie. Shannon got a top comment. Okay. She got in there earlier. She said, Toby Mac walks so literally every Christian rapper could run. People did not like that.

I mean, some did, but... Toby Mac, yeah, he's not running. Yeah, he's doing half marathons. Yeah. He does the Gospel of St. John. I do not. Sometime, we don't have to do it this time, but another really debatable lyric back in the day

was Sloppy Wet Kiss. Yeah, totally. Yeah. Do you know that song, Tymon? No. How He Loves by John Mark Vermillan. Yeah. And then David Crowder changed it.

No, David Crowder did Sloppy Wet, didn't he? I was going to say, I thought it was David Crowder. Well, John Mark Vermillan wrote it. But then David Crowder kind of, I feel like, made it popular. It is. But then they started changing it from Sloppy Wet Kiss to Unforeseen Kiss. Anyway, just like people didn't like the idea of the Sloppy Wet Kiss. Yeah.

What's the other song? I always ask you this, but the Scream Your Freaking Lungs Out. Oh, yeah. That's like a local. It's a Jacob's Well worship leader. It's called Words to Build a Life On. It's really good. Check it out.

It's just about the Beatitudes. But then, yeah, near the end, he says, scream your freaking lungs out. And some people wanted to, like, because I led that sometimes. Yeah. And some people eventually change it to scream your heart and lungs out. They don't like freaking. Hard to scream your heart out. Hard to scream your lungs out too, brother.

We figure it out. Both tough, but heart scream your lungs out to brother. We figured out both tough, but heart's gotta be trickier. So, but yeah, the sloppy wet kiss, it's like, what kind of church are you? You know? Yeah. You more, you know, where do you side? Yeah. One of those. Oh, you're, you're a sloppy wet church. It's like, it's like, don't, don't talk about, you know, free will versus uh you know what's predestination predestination thank you i was like pre-domination i was like uh uh talk about sloppy wet versus unforeseen it would be fun someone's probably already done this joke before but instead of having like old what do they call it like old school service and contemporary service yeah yeah

we have an unforeseen service in line we have a sloppy wet at 10 30 service. You know, the middle schoolers are like that sounds awesome at a slip inside anything. I'm there sloppy wet service at 1045 that yeah, they should yeah, it's like yeah, it should be like middle school and high school youth group was middle school sloppy wet and high school is unforeseen

and no parent would ever send their kid to sloppy wet. You are not going to sloppy wet service. I don't I don't care what sloppy wet Sunday to sloppy wet. You are not going to sloppy wet service. I don't think, I don't care what sloppy wet Sunday is to you. You are not getting your frizzle fried at sloppy wet service. Yeah. It's like,

honey, I'm going out of town this weekend. I trust you're not going to take the kids to sloppy wet Sunday. Are you not without me? Yeah. Go to the 9am service. We go to the sloppy wet when the kids are gone. We are an unforeseen family.

Do you understand me? Sloppy wet Sundays, sloppy wet Sundays. It's like, yeah, it's at a youth Sundays at church. It's a sloppy wet Sunday, which of course, yeah, the youth pastor is going to be speaking and the youth bands and he's kind of new at it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He's going to do a lot more jokes and you're not really going to understand exactly where he's going with this, but we love him for it. He's a good guy. A lot of potential. He needs it. Yeah. Cool. I'm trying to think

if there's anything else. Maybe one last thing. I bought YouTube TV for this football season. It's going to be like three weeks and three months. And now that we have TV again, Rachel and I were like eating dinner and we're like, let's just watch TV like eating dinner one night. We're like,

let's just watch TV. Black hole, dude. Let's just, let's just like see what's on TV. And we didn't, we barely even like browse. It was just like,

the first thing I saw was America's funniest videos. Like that's absolutely what we should watch. That just feels like, like just growing up again, it feels like middle-class nineties. Just like, yeah, Tom Bergeron put him on who's hosting these days.

Yeah. I was going to ask you, you know, Alfonso Rubiero. Yes. It's Carlton class 90s. Just like, yeah, Tom Bergeron put him on. Who's hosting these days? Yeah, I was going to ask you. Alfonso Rubiero? Yes. Carlton. For some reason, I was always thinking he died, but I guess not. He's back. He's good. Yeah. Dude, it's still like, I think we've talked about this before on the podcast ways

ago, but I just don't understand these people who are sending in videos to America's Funniest Videos. Do they not know about TikTok? Are they old? Like, I'm so curious how it works. But Rachel and I started doing a fun game because it's just as cheesy as it's always been. Maybe worse because we're older. But they'll show a clip and maybe right before the joke or afterwards,

old Alfonso will come in there and just say some little cheesy catchphrase. Yeah, they kind of caption it themselves. Yeah. So it's really fun to like take in the clip and try some little cheesy catchphrase. Yeah. They kind of caption it themselves. Yeah. So it's really fun to like take in the clip and try to guess the catchphrase before they say it. Pause it. Yeah. No, just try to like say it really quickly.

Yeah. And, um, yeah, they're so good. So just, just a little homework. If you guys want some to do,

guess the catchphrase America's 20 videos. It's really fun. Okay. For instance, I'll, I'll give you one that I can still remember and I'll tell you the catchphrase afterwards. So, um, fun okay for instance i'll i'll give you one that i can still remember and i'll tell you the catchphrase afterwards so um we see a home video of a grandma playing the piano playing it really beautifully and then you see her two grandkids they're like probably four and six okay sit next to her on the

piano bench and they kind of like it looks like they're maybe starting to play or they're not i can't really tell yet. Any caption? We don't really know what happened bad yet. Whoa. Okay. Any caption? Just that's it. Yeah.

Yeah. We were trying to guess too. Okay. I'm thinking of a few different ways to go with this. I'm thinking of keys. Okay. They're in the wrong. Yeah.

Something about keys. Something about maestro. Something about ivories. i don't know those are all usually pretty good routes to go i feel like they love the cheesy wordplay yeah but the little girl okay maybe i'll tell you see if you can get okay okay the little girl put the like what is the thing time and musician the thing that covers the piano keys covers the piano key cover yeah whatever does that to her grandma her grandma's like oh um yeah i don't know choping choping off her keys well i guess that's why old john didn't invite toddlers on stage

oh it wasn't even wordplay or anything yeah no it was just like oh i thought dude and then the very next clip was so the whole theme was they just three minutes of piano clips because they love a good theme like the category now is cats gone crazy um they love their cats but so the next one is it was a piano video again and it was uh someone else played the piano and the cat jumped on the keys. I'm not kidding. The very next thing that Alfonso says is like, I guess that's why Elton John invited cats on stage. Going down the Elton John well.

They're like, oh my gosh, that's so lazy. Is this what you do full time? I hope not. They have like a writer that that's their full time job. It's like, okay, I could use the Elton John one again. You think people will notice? That's all he does for every piano job. It's like, okay, I could use the Elton John one again. You think people will notice? That's all he does for every piano clip. That's why Billy Joel never had anyone else on stage.

No, it's like every clip, like it's a boat, you know, going off the ramp. It's like, well, I guess I know why Elton John never drove a boat himself. Yeah.

So it was pretty entertaining more than we were expecting. It was a good time. More than we were expecting. It was a good time. That's good, man. You'll have to see if you find any other TV shows out there that we don't know about. Yeah, we'll see. I don't know how much will be a regular thing. I will say I came home last night for pickleball,

and Rachel had the news on. I was like, what are you doing? Hey, the news is kind of nice. Every once in a while, like Sunday night football, Monday night football is over. Like the news comes on. I watch it. I think that's what it was.

Yeah, it was actually after Monday night football. And the news came on. That's what it. I watch it. I think that's what it was. Yeah, it was actually after Monday night football. And the news came on. That's what it was. So good times. That's good times. Good life. We got a good life. Time I forgot to ask.

Do you have any... Oh, you said your win of the week was that shoot, right? Yeah. Yeah, that Wednesday. Yeah. Cool. Yeah, that's fun. Yeah.

I can't wait to see it. Have you talked about it on the podcast? I think you've talked to me a little bit about the idea behind it. I can't remember. Yeah,. What's, have you talked about it on the podcast? I think you've talked to me a little bit about the idea behind it. I can't remember. Yeah, we just wrote a video about, I would actually love to get your thoughts. Well, we'll do it on the podcast. So basically we have this sketch.

It looks really good, but it doesn't clearly look like a pickleball video, which I'm really big on that. I'm really big on the opening shot is very key in going viral, whether it's a caption, whether it's the title, like you have to hook people.

And so I'm big on this, even visually the opening shot. So like, I always have it. Make sure you see a paddle in all of our videos. Make sure we're on a court. Like these people need to know, Hey, I like pickleball. Oh, this is a pickleball video. So that's what we're fighting is this is set in like a therapist office. That's the setting. Rachel's the client. I'm the therapist. So it looks good, but it's not clear that this is a pickleball video. Do we take away the kind of the allure of the script?

Where are you going with this? And what's the twist ending at the end by titling it Pickleball Couples Therapy? Pickleball Marriage Counseling? Because I'm leaning towards this unfortunately yes i think we have to what's the alternative like what other caption is there this is just like i don't know well then it sounds like you should do that well i mean it would just be something

non-pickleball related probably just like when when she thinks he's cheating you know something more typical i don't know i i mean on one hand because the twist sorry at the end is that like he's not cheating on you all these things you've overheard him or things you've seen on his phone those are pickleball terms your husband's not cheating on you he's obsessed with pickleball and what do we name her laurie laurie is 64 she's a grandma she's not some young hottie okay yeah you Yeah. So I think, uh, first of all, 64, you can still be hot. Okay. Um, Catherine, you're going to be a hot 64. It's true. Oprah. Um, right. Yeah. Oprah Winfrey. We did hottest people with one name. Um, what was like, Oh, I mean, one on one hand, I'm like, you could, and you probably don't want to do this but you could wait

another five videos to put put this out and the more if you get another couple viral videos then all of a sudden they see like like they see this channel and they already know like oh jake is a pickleball guy i think that's part of it too it's like have do we have that trust with their audience yet i don't know i don't think oh that guy he makes pickleball videos because i bet i don't think it's there yet I don't think you do. Oh, that guy. He makes pickleball videos. Because I bet. I don't think it's there yet. I don't think you're quite there yet, especially because you make a lot of other videos as well. But I don't hate the idea.

I think for strategic sake, you should put pickleball in there. But I am a big fan of not spelling out the joke as much. I know. But that's just more, what's it called? Just more advanced humor, I guess it called? Like just more advanced humor, I guess, or more, whatever. But I don't think if anything, I don't think, uh, I think it could be fun to follow along, like the dramatic irony, you know, like you, you as the watcher

know what's going on, you know, like they're talking, but it's still fun, but it's still fun of like, Oh yeah. Like I'm, I mean, anything we do where it's like subtle golf insults or something, it's like, I know it's going to be an insult about golf, but I don't know exactly what they're going to say. Yeah, it's a bummer to lose a little bit of the artistry or whatever you want to call it. That's the whole thing of a sketch. It's like there's probably going to be something at the end that, whatever, takes you by

surprise. But if that's the difference of 20,000 views and a million views, probably should do it. Of course, yeah. Obviously, we don't know the results, but I know. Doodle AB split testing. I was going to say, yeah, I think should do it. Of course. Yeah. Obviously we don't know the results, but I know doodle AB split test. I was going to say, yeah, I think you throw it up on Tik TOK.

Yeah. See how it does. See what happens. You learned from it. Yeah. That's the kind of stuff I don't love. I mean, I love like analyzing it,

but then I don't know if it's like, well, was that the reason that it was different or better? Or was it just because it hit the algorithm differently? Or was it because of the amazing editing and lighting? And there's a million factors. Yeah, Zach being there and just bringing energy. All the Zach-ters.

Is there any Zach in there? Will we know? There actually is. Good. Brad, do you remember saying that, oh, Zach's going to end up in the video? Yeah, you called it. You're like, Zach's going to fight.

Because I was like, you know, Zach's coming over to be in it. You're like, he's got to weasel's way in his video somehow. And he did. Did he volunteer himself or was it like Zach come in here for? No, it was kind of like, we realized something in the script that I was going to shoot. It was like,

wait, that doesn't make sense. I'm not Rachel's husband. So Zach is Rachel's husband. Perfect. So yeah, he found a way. Zach baby,

the Zach-tion. He's great. Oh, that's awesome. I'm excited. I'm more excited now than I ever have been. No, Zach's in there. Yeah. Zach, baby. The Zach-tion. He's great. Oh, that's awesome. I'm more excited now than I ever have been. Knowing that Zach's in there.

I love Zach. Just be like, if you want me, I'm here. I can do it. I am dressed up in attire to look like I'm a husband. I wore my husband outfit. Oh, that's fun. It's fun. I'm excited to see it. I'm sure it'll be great. Time killed it.

Thank you guys for listening. Another's fun. I'm excited to see it. I'm sure it'll be great. Time killed it. Yeah. Thank you guys for listening. Another great week. Great week to be a ghostie. Still limited, limited spots to come on vacation with us in Gulf Shores, Alabama, late April. Ghostrunners.life. Check it out. Yeah.
