Good morning, Ghosties!
The Chiefs have just won the Super Bowl.
We're coming to you live from Brad's basement if you're not watching on YouTube.
Rachel's here, Catherine's here, Scott's here, me and Brad are here.
What's up, guys? Go Chiefs!
We won!
How do you feel, Scotty?
Dude, I don't know, man. I'm like out of breath.
I'm coming down.
Gunner Duckworth is back.
Gunner, come say hi to the ghosties.
And he grins out.
And he grins out.
The Chiefs won.
We're so excited.
I don't think he had any reason to come through.
He just heard it.
He heard it.
At one point tonight, Scott's heart rate was 128 while sitting down.
So, a big night.
I'm sure most of you watched the game.
It's as good as you can ask for.
Our good friend, future Friday Pinwall customer, Brock Purdy, played great.
No turnovers, but the Chiefs still won.
Best case scenario, overtime, walk-off overtime.
The game just got over, so we don't really know what happened.
But what in the world? Tick, tick, tick off overtime. The game just got over so we don't really know what happened but uh...
What in the world?
Tick tick tick tick!
I don't know, so you did get video of the very end, Jake?
Yeah.
Call timeout!
What in the world? We're gonna score here.
Bro, bro, bro, bro!
Do we not understand overtime time rules? Oh! What just happened? What? What? What? Andy Reid played Jess.
He's playing Jess.
Dude, that was on accident for sure.
Yes.
So you can see my reaction.
Like, I didn't really make any noise when we won.
I wasn't shocked.
I was like, until, it was like Jake times 20 from last year.
Like all of a sudden, whenever we saw Patrick Bowen get interviewed and he was like,
I can't believe it was a crazy season, we won.
I just all of a sudden just go, holy crap, we won!
Oh!
It just went nuts.
Because it was like the weirdest ending of like why are you not like what are we doing why
are we calling a timeout i thought of everything i thought that the clock malfunctioned i thought
that the chiefs forgot about it i thought that maybe i don't know how the clock works you know
maybe it's soccer maybe there's extra time new overtime rules i don't know and we haven't really
seen an explanation yet for like because it seemed like an idiotic thing to do when you have timeouts
left give yourselves more chances
to score,
but it worked out.
We were so excited upstairs
and so we were like,
yeah,
let's go downstairs.
Like we went,
it's like silent down here.
We're all scratching our heads.
Like,
are y'all excited?
We're excited.
Well,
like all of us were like,
that's too good to be true.
What in the world?
Well,
it even seemed like
50% of the people
on the field
didn't realize
it was a touchdown
because they kind of were all just looking around.
Oh, man.
There were so many times where I thought,
I think this is the end of it.
It's over.
I wasn't pessimistic, but I was just like,
I don't know if we're going to do it again.
And we did.
The post-game interview of Mahomes was actually really solid.
He said, this is a microcosm of our whole season.
Which I think is right. We looked pretty bad bad the whole time and then defense kept us in it
Ladies, how do we feel about the Taylor Swift coverage Blake lively coverage?
We couldn't forget we couldn't
Like look funny even know? Hussie. Hussie. Wow. Blake looked funny. We decided.
Oh, Blake.
She didn't look like
the normal Blake.
Not Taylor.
Whose eyebrows
were you guys
talking about
at one point?
Oh, who were we
talking about?
Sophie and the
Great.
I just walked
upstairs to get
Puppy Chow and
they were like,
yeah, her eyebrows
look better that way.
Oh, that was
that commercial.
I was like,
she would look
fine without eyebrows.
She would look
fine without eyebrows.
She did look
kind of normal.
Until she pointed out, I was like, oh yeah, she's missing eyebrows. Who did look kind of normal. Until she pointed out I was like oh yeah
she's missing an eyebrow. Heidi Gardner in one of those commercials. Was it alopecia commercial or
what? No she was just being funny. Like he just abbreviated alopecia save time little peach um you're my cousin little alopecia yeah yeah taylor was good
i really liked taylor's jewelry yeah there's a nice red necklace and a chain yeah any cross
uh yeah uh patrick yeah patrick good one guy's earring I saw. Okay.
One earring. One guy's earring.
Yep.
But yeah, for all the Gene Schwartz fans, best case scenario, getting another parade video.
That's right.
Maybe with new access.
We have connections with the marketing people at the Chiefs.
I shot my shot a couple weeks ago and said hey you guys sent us two free
pieces of merch earlier this year would you want to send us to the Super Bowl
I said the link of like the like hey this is like the video we did last year
was really fun you know like that's really cool if we get to the parade let
us know and maybe we can make it happen it's nice of her to reply yeah yeah we
have a pretty good relationship We probably emailed back and forth
That I mean I haven't yeah
Seen your previous one. She's gotta be like, okay, this would be fun. These are the guys this would be fun
Move so it's just that's right. It was us and Jerem, and
now he's off the pedestal.
So all I had to send her
was her name, and I was
like, we did it.
How about that parade
on Wednesday?
Let's talk details later.
Go Chiefs.
Nice.
I think it was all caps.
That's awesome.
So we'll let you know.
Anyway, it's awesome.
Sorry for annoying anybody
that hates the Chiefs, but
we're excited.
Yeah.
You listen to a podcast of guys who like the Chiefs,
so this is what's going to happen.
We've always liked them, all right?
You got to deal with the Chiefs.
We're never underdogs.
Okay, that is those team tastes.
We don't blame you.
We don't blame you.
We don't know about this yet.
Yeah, but that's like an hour from now.
It's a yummy little team taste.
All right, any final words?
Two theme songs.
Uh-oh, ooh-I-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.
Ghost Brothers Podcast.
Everybody morning, we're taking round.
Ghost Brothers Podcast. This past weekend, Scott, Isaac, and I went down to Austin, Texas for a little Friday pickleball.
Austin, Texas.
What did I say?
Oh, yeah.
I was just clarifying.
That's a funny way of letting someone tell a story.
Just like gaslighting.
Austin, Texas.
It's Texas, Jake.
What did I say?
Yeah, you had it.
You said Boston, Texas.
Golly, that's in Massachusetts, dude.
Not even close.
Me, Isaac, Scott.
No, Scott.
Scott. I grew up with him. I would know. Two Ts. You said Scott. No, Scott. Scott.
I grew up with him.
I would know.
You said Scott.
It's Scott.
Sorry.
Scott.
Yeah.
Isaac and I.
So every day we're trying to find new pickleball courts.
We're shooting.
We're doing a bunch of stuff.
One day we get connected with a really nice part of Austin, I think.
Austin.
Tarrytown?
I don't know. I don't know anything about Tarrytown. I never heard of it either. It just seemed like a nice part of Austin, I think. Austin. Tarrytown? I don't know. I don't know anything
about Tarrytown. I never heard of it either. It just
seemed like a nice part of town. The
houses are big. This guy's got a private court in
his backyard, so I think it was a nice part of Austin. Doing all right.
Especially because Austin is very expensive
to live in, in general. Yes.
And, you know, they're starting
to tell us some stories. Like, you know, right across the street,
that's where Matthew
McConaughey got arrested for playing the bongos. No way see i didn't even know they were talking about and i i
said no way kind of like that no way oh no oh you don't know that story no oh yeah yeah you should
listen to his audiobook sometime i figured that had something to do with that and uh so i was just
like oh that's cool and then they're like another thing this house used to belong to LBJ and Scott and Isaac.
I'm like, no way.
LeBron James.
Why did he have a house in Austin, Texas?
Because he went, I know he's on the Heat
and then the Cavaliers, but.
Really?
Austin, huh?
He invested in Austin.
I mean, he was, they say Austin's the next,
you know, Hollywood of Texas.
So maybe, did they film Space Jam 2?
Silicon Prairie?
Yeah.
Yeah, he's involved in tech.
Really?
I mean, he was a Kia guy, but maybe he's a Tesla guy now.
I don't know.
Just connecting Annie LeBron thing.
Okay, just a kid from, maybe he was a kid from Austin.
Just a kid.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
They had it wrong the whole time.
We were gaslighted.
Tymon, do you know who LBJ is?
No.
Either?
Gen Z thing.
LBJ.
LeBron would have been my guess, because I do know that name.
Obviously, I've heard of that.
Lyndon Baines Johnson.
Ever heard of him?
I don't think so.
Ever heard of LB Johnson?
Lyndon B. Johnson?
There you go.
Wait.
Not a president.
That's the president.
There it is.
Time is.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Lyndon B. Johnson.
He was a president.
I memorized these at one point.
I should probably know this.
Right before Kennedy?
Right after Kennedy?
He was right after.
Yeah.
And then he went to the Lakers.
And then he's like, I'm taking my talents to Austin.
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 Rubs Podcast.
Everybody morning, we're taking ground. Ghost Rums Podcast.
Ghost Rums Podcast.
What number is this, Tymon?
Episode number?
Episode 304.
Episode number 304 of the Ghost Rums Podcast.
304.
Presented by Good Ranchers, American Meat Delivered.
What's that number mean to you?
304 is LeBron's, that's how much he paid originally for that house.
And it was a good investment for him because now it's worth 3.4.
Yeah, a little LBJ, man.
304 means nothing to me, man, except for this episode because it's going to be a spicy episode, I think.
It's going to be a good episode.
We each, we got a lot we're bringing to the table.
Yeah.
Most of mine involves Scott.
What is most of yours involved?
I'm just excited about this call that we have later.
Yeah, do you want to start off?
Let's just get into that. Yeah, let's get into it.
I've talked about it in the past.
I hate getting scammed.
I hate scammers.
I hate their life.
I hate the fact that that is what they choose to spend their precious time on this earth
trying to do is scam innocent people.
But what I love is money.
I have none.
No, I'm just kidding.
And, you know, as someone who has this podcast now and whatever, all these different accounts,
we do get hit up a decent amount with things that are obviously scamming, like,
grow your following by 100,000 today, you know, contact us or, um, you know,
which that's what Trey did. And it worked for him. You know, he just does, you know,
you do have 14, 15 times, you know, 1.5 million followers. Is that what happened? Is that how he did it? Yeah. Yeah. A lot of people think fine. No. Well, we're just trying to grow organically.
Uh-huh. Yeah. Okay. So maybe see, I always thought it was a scam. Nothing wrong with
inorganic growth
every now and then.
Just fake growth.
Uh-huh.
That's how he gets
a million followers
and five million views
on a video.
Yes.
Is like from all these bots
that follow him
and also are watching
his video five million times.
Yes, good bots.
Good bots.
Okay, good mechs.
Okay, so anyway,
yeah, we get all these
very obvious scam things. Greetings of the day,
Ellis custom creations at gmail.com. And I'm like, okay, if you're not even using my name,
yeah, whatever. Hey, Jean. Hey, Jean. Yeah. For Jane shorts. Hi, Jean. Yeah. Best of best of
wishes of your day. I was inquiring. It's like, stop. I know this is not
it out. Um, and so anyway, we got hit up and whatever, I'm going to look like an idiot in
this story. I'm just going to preface all of that now. Okay. Because it's easy to hindsight's 2020,
but at the time I was like, this might be real. And we've, to be fair to us, if you guys remember us talking, whatever, three, four months ago, we had some interesting
emails that ended up being actual brand deals. The Indiana EV email where it was like, dude,
I don't know. This is a weird link that they just sent us. Let's click on it and pursue it and see
what happens. And yeah, they send us some money. So, um, this seemed like it could have been one of those. So we get this email.
What in the world?
Okay.
Check on the mic.
Oh,
LBJ.
Well,
Watergate scandal over here.
I thought you guys had something prepared for me.
I was like,
Oh,
this is my story.
Not exciting enough for you timing.
I just spice it up.
Um,
so anyway,
I've gotten two of these different emails
on our Ghostrunners email list.
Also, Ghostrunners email is not very easy to find these days.
I mean, it's ghostrunnerspodcasts at gmail.com.
If you guys would like to contact us about sponsoring the show, please do.
Congrats, you found it.
But we used to have a business email on our TikTok,
and we got five emails a day.
Yeah, not a good idea. They were all scam. Um, so anyway, I've gotten two of these different
emails that were very similar. Um, and I'll just read off the most recent one here. Uh, it says,
I'm Alex Morgan representing rich role and overseeing engaging podcast interview series
in collaboration with multinational brands. Cool. Okay. First of all, had heard of rich role. He's
one of my, my friend,
Will Severn's favorite podcasters.
Big deal.
We're thrilled to extend an invitation to you,
period.
And then that's in like normal font.
And then in like probably three times as big as normal font,
it just says,
Jean shorts comedy.
Should have probably been a red flag right there.
Like they're just copy and pasting this,
but I thought,
I don't care if they copy and paste it.
If we're getting paid for it,
I don't,
I don't care if they don't know who we are.
That is funny.
I'm looking at it now.
We're seeking exceptional talents from various fields,
such as musicians,
comedians,
bloggers,
public figures,
artists to be featured guests on the podcast.
This platform offers you a chance to share your creative journey,
blah,
blah,
blah,
blah,
blah.
Rest assured.
Hey,
rest assured guys,
this is a paid opportunity and you'll receive
two thousand dollars each episode well two thousand dollars usd usd each episode two thousand dollars
usd there are multinational brands they have to clarify the currency the best part you can
conveniently participate from anywhere using your mobile laptop computer um also this is the reading
back on this next sentence i was like i, I should have known right here. No need to worry about travel arrangements.
Plus language won't be a barrier as you can utilize software to seamlessly translate your
language into English during the one hour discussion.
I didn't read that the first time.
I'll be honest.
I didn't see that.
Look forward to seeing you.
This guy named Alex Morgan.
Yeah.
You stopped at the $2,000.
Cause what you love is money.
That's right.
I don't love getting scammed.
Also, their email is
richrollmanagement at gmail.com.
Another thing that was like,
well, ours is the Ghost Friars podcast
at gmail.com.
It's not like you can't be legit
having a Gmail.
You know what I just noticed about that?
Management is spelled wrong.
That is, yeah.
Managment. Managment. Manag man agment well we're not their manager we're their managger careful um anyway um so i was like yeah i'm interested in this whatever
thanks for getting back to me uh anyway long story short i know this is already a long story
oh no you're fine alex morgan that that's the, is that the girl who plays on the U.S. women's soccer team?
That sounded familiar to me.
It's just athletes helping athletes.
Alex Morgan's helping Rich Rollout.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly.
Good for her.
Maybe she's on the team anymore.
She's like, I'm trying to do this now.
I'm trying to do menagging.
Yeah.
So anyway, give us more information.
We're about to get on a call.
I actually had a call with somebody else that was representing the Minimalist podcast.
Okay.
Another legit brand.
If you remember a couple weeks ago, that's why I reached out to George Campbell because
he was on the Minimalist podcast.
I was like, well, George Campbell's doing it for $2,000.
I'll do it for $2,000.
He's grinding.
He's an everyday millionaire.
And he's like, dude, you should definitely do it with these guys.
Yeah.
It sounds like a legit opportunity. And I was like, okay, you should definitely do it with these guys. Yeah. It sounds like a legit opportunity.
And I was like, okay, yeah.
Um, had this call with this guy.
He wanted to like, look at my screen and like, see on that.
I was like able to do this Facebook administration, um, permissions because it was like this,
this podcast was going to be recorded live, like a live stream from Facebook or something
like that.
And I was like, ah, actually I think my friend, my partner, you know, whatever, Jake is the guy
that's doing this. Okay. No problem. Let's go ahead and get him on the phone some or on the
zoom call sometime and figure this out. Okay. So I told all this to Jake and Jake's like,
okay, are we sure this isn't a scam? Well, it was once he told me there was a second one.
You're like, so you need to hop on the call with this guy at 1230.
And then there's another one tonight.
They also want to do a live stream on our Facebook for $2,000.
I was like, two different podcasts.
I was like, brother, the harvest is plentiful.
Let's go for it.
I was like, if this is an easy way to grind out, you know, two grand each, that'd be awesome
for us talking for an hour.
Yeah.
Once you said there was a second one, I just said, well, that's a, that's a wild coincidence.
I was like, we must be just getting some algorithm that people are sending this.
I mean, cause it's new, new strategy.
Like you can make money on live Facebook stream.
I don't know.
And of course they like this, this first guy, the minimalist guy said, and we are sponsored by
Nike. That's how we can
give out this money because we're getting so well
sponsored by Nike. Should have seen
it coming a little bit there. I know the second
we get good ranchers, major roasters money,
we're just looking to spend it. Oh, how do we just
give that away?
Anybody? I don't want it.
You can have it. We don't want to support our families
with it. Give it away.
Get it out of here.
Exactly.
Yeah, it's cheap.
The housing market in Austin is cheap these days.
So anyway, all I have to say, Jake kind of once again,
like we had kind of talked about,
this is kind of too good to be true maybe.
I was like, you know what?
I'm going to look up this thing one more time, see if it's a scam.
Tried to like copy and paste the email. Couldn't find anything on Gmail.
And then I think I searched something like Facebook marketplace. No, that's not what I
would look up. Facebook live. I don't know what I looked up something. Some, somehow I found it.
Did you have, do you have the link for me, Jake? Um, of this thing? I was like,
Oh, wait a second. This is a scam after all. Let's see. It's probably still my safari.
This guy. Yeah. I just found the page here says scam alert. I just got suckered to be a guest on
a podcast for $3,000, but I didn't see the actual scam coming. I didn't even have to click on it.
I was like, yeah, that sounds exactly what we're doing.
Without even reading it, I sent Jake the link. I was like, well, this is it. This is us.
Long story short, what these people do is they do exactly what they've done with me.
And then they get on a Zoom call with you and they ask you about your permissions to like
have a live event with this pretty predominant podcaster. And, uh, in the process, they look at
your screen, they share your screen, and then they say, you know what, I kind of just take control
of your screen real quick. All, you know, or, or I'll, you have to change your admin to blah,
blah, blah, admin, or this account or something in order for it to work. And somebody gets suckered
into it. And all of a sudden, before you know it, they've taken over your account and you are done basically. Um, and so I was peeved. We'll call it that. I was,
I hate it. I hate getting scammed. I just hate it. I think I sent like five different texts to
Jake in a row without him even responding. Just like, dang it. I hate this. I can't believe we
almost fell for this. This is so stupid. Of course, of course, you know, whatever, all these different things in a row.
Um,
and so the first,
like I said,
there was the minimalist and rich role that we're both going to be on
someday,
you know?
And,
the first response,
I,
I,
I didn't even slow play it at all.
I just immediately sent this back to this guy.
Uh,
what did I say,
Jake?
Did you see it?
Let's see.
I,
I just,
you said like something
can you confirm that you are uh not trying to pay us and would just like to screw us over right away
i just go yeah and sorry for that language but i just go uh sounds and i i didn't even capitalize
anything that's my way of really sticking it to him dude we'll talk about that later time i just
no capital s sounds like this is a scam period. Can you please
confirm that you're planning to steal the admin rights of our channel and completely screw us
over? Thanks. At least you said, please. Yeah, exactly. Can you please confirm? Thanks. No
capital, no period. Just thanks. No response from that guy. Uh, so if you're wondering,
oh, that's, I guess that's the end of the story. Nope. We're taking you on
a journey, ladies and gentlemen, because in 21 minutes, we have a call with the other Rich Roll
podcast to talk to them about the podcast and how it's going to look and all this stuff. And
they're going to try to scam us and we're going to okie-doke them live on the podcast.
And hopefully not get scammed in the process.
Yeah, exactly. I had that thought. They've been so funny.
You're so confident.

wait,
wait,
wait,
wait,
wait,
wait,
wait,
wait,
wait,
wait, and like super innocent and like, just like almost like make him get annoyed with us about
how excited we are. And like, ask all these questions that he doesn't really have the
answers for. Like we could figure out time and maybe just Google real quick, rich role
and just get some trivia on rich role or something and be like, okay, so is, you know, whatever
his dog's name is Sparky going to be there too. We've always wanted to meet Sparky. We
have a great Pyrenees just like Sparky, you know, and, and talk to him like that. And cause this guy, his name's Alex
Morgan, but I have a feeling he's probably going to be Indian descent. That's what the other guy
was. And yeah, he's going to be like, I do not know Sparky, you know, like, and we just like,
this guy's supposed to be having a 15 minute conversation with us and we draw it out.
That could be one way.
Yeah.
That's what I think.
Like, I feel like the best way to like mess with a guy like this is to waste their time.
Yes.
Now you could also argue that you're also wasting your own time while doing it, but
we're getting caught.
So it's fine.
We could be like completely technologically inept.
That's what I was thinking too.
Like make Facebook.
And I'm just okay so slow put a space in between face and book.com and so it's like uh okay let's see here
yeah i don't know um what are other funny tabs i could have open when he asked to see my computer
like would it be like i don't know well i mean he's in india probably i guess so there's nothing
you can really threaten him with just like how to like how to know if i'm being scammed or is it
like yeah ar-15 ammunition like which route do we want to go cyber or like real work um that's
good idea yeah i don't know yeah something like Or, or just like other funny tabs that we
have open that like, I don't know, this is an inappropriate one. I'm trying to think of a way
to say it without being appropriate, but like back in the day with me and my friends, we'd always
like a screenshot something and they have something else in the back. Like it'd be like a, it'd be
like a picture like of our Amazon cart. And it was like ordering that's now thanks for the recommendation on the slippers. And then right underneath it,
it was like, you know, some book that was like, that's it. That's really, yeah, it wasn't
even nasty. It was more just like self deprecating, you know, like, um, yeah, so I can imagine
something like that where it's like you pull up your thing to go search for Facebook, but
instead it's an Amazon cart that has, you know, or, or it's
like, it's like a serial killer thing where it's like, it's got bleach, it's got a shovel, it's
got a tarp. It's got one way flight to Mumbai, India. Yeah, exactly. Um, yeah, I don't know.
Um, oh, and you did text in, in our group chat after I sent you five different things. If this
was a movie, one of us would be really good at computers and we would somehow hack them back.
Yeah, that would be fun.
Hey, let's mess around with ChatGPT.
Okay.
How to hack a hacker
who wants to take control of your screen?
Yes.
Of your screen?
Yes.
Maybe we just say like,
oh, I can't figure out how to give you control.
Can you show me where to give control?
And then we take control of their screen,
and we just, you know,
command-Q everything they have.
We just get out of all of it.
Well, ChatDBT is taking the high road.
Attempting to hack a hacker is not recommended
and is often illegal.
The best approach when faced with a potential
cybersecurity threat is to protect yourself.
Step one, disconnect
from the internet.
Three, update and patch.
I don't know how to update and patch.
I don't know what that means. Patch? Is that a capital P?
Yeah, capital P.
Update and patch. Big patch. Four,
uninstall and run antivirus software.
Now they're trying to sell us on McAfee.
That's a scam in and of itself. Oh, wow. McAfee
back in the day. Enable firewall.
They're just saying buzzwords.
This is like what I was complaining about last week.
They're like, check the DNS IP.
Honestly, without even knowing the guy beyond his 300 superheroes,
this seems like a job for Mr. Waffles.
Doesn't it?
Doesn't Mr. Waffles seem like he could get in there
and mess some stuff up for this?
Yeah.
Step nine, seek professional help. I don't know if this means therapy or if this means Mr. W this. Yeah. Seek, or step nine, seek professional help.
I don't know if this means therapy
or if this means Mr. Waffles.
Mr. Waffles.
I mean, he's Mr.,
so he's got to be professional.
That's true.
It's not, yeah, Daddy Waffles.
Yeah, the waffles.
Timon got us a little bit of trivia on Rich Roll.
Just a little.
57 years old,
adapted to vegan lifestyle at 40,
has an inspirational memoir called Finding Ultra, and has his own plant-based nutritional program.
I should find some more super-
So he's anti-Good Ranchers.
We'll break that up.
Yeah.
We are sponsored by Good Ranchers, which is a meat company.
Non-vegan?
Yeah.
Would that be non-
Would that?
Yeah.
Cool.
Yeah, you guys are about to? Yeah. Cool. Yeah.
You guys about to see it.
Just a,
so his mom's name is Nancy.
Mom's name is Nancy.
Write that down.
Hey,
that's perfect.
That's what we need.
Stuff like that.
The more personal,
the better.
That's what I've ever told you back in high school.
I,
that was like my,
my way of having a lot of fun at basketball games.
Like I was a fan of basketball games,
but I would try to Facebook friend all the other team
and get random information about them
and just yell it at them.
I love that.
I love when our football players came to our games
and were doing that for me, playing basketball.
I loved it.
I mean, it could have been as simple.
It was always clean.
It was always lighthearted.
It was like, how the heck do you know that about me?
Especially on Facebook back in the day. You know, you took to prom last year and you're barking that at them. It was always good. Lighthearted. It was like, how the heck do you know that about me? Yeah. Especially on Facebook back in the day, you know,
you took the prom last year and you're barking that. Yeah. Or you're just like,
like you like join a random Facebook group or you put a random interest on there and it's like,
Hey, how are your monkey banana socks? Yeah. You like lemony snake. Yeah, exactly. Stuff like that.
All it takes is that it's like, what, how That's not what I'm used to hearing right now.
So that's kind of fun.
Dog's name is Sushi Roll.
LOL.
I just threw a little joke at our text thread while you were telling that story.
Mom's name is Nancy Roll.
Dog's name is Sushi Roll.
Oh.
Just getting the jokes out early.
That's good, Jacob.
So anyways, we got, whatever, 14 minutes.
14 minutes.
And we're hoping that we can get the audio going.
That'll be a bummer if we hype this whole thing up
and we have to take it all out later.
Yeah, we'll see.
Always a roll of the dice.
Anyway, we're trying to hack the hackers.
We're trying to scam the scammers.
We're trying to get it back at them.
Yeah, it's going to be fun.
I hope it works.
Yeah.
I think we're going to put on a show here. What if the minimalist was a scam and rich role was real
the whole time and rich role comes up on that screen. This is Alex Morgan, Alex Morgan, the
U.S. Olympic soccer player. Yeah, we're sponsored by Nike. I told you. Oh my gosh. Oh my God.
Hey guys. And we just have to do another podcast while doing our podcast.
Dude. So many things, red flags. I mean, the first call I had a, I was, it was a zoom call and I was the only one on video. He was on video. And then secondly, I was like, Oh,
I'm not on my computer right now. Like, Oh, you're not on your computer. What are you on
your phone? And I'm like, yeah, I'm on my phone. And they could tell you that was not a satisfactory
thing for them so um that bothered
him a little bit so i should have known i should have seen it coming if we don't get to see their
face should we like we put up a wall like hey we're not yeah we're not going through this till
we see your face uh-huh i want to see it yeah show me those pearly whites those teeth show me
those yeah yeah whatever um so yeah let's let's talk about a few other things
in the in the interim okay does that sound good to you 10 minutes you want to talk about some austin
yes uh a little bit where to start so it was um it was a great weekend we were going down you know
obviously we had you guys probably you know i don't know 10 20 episodes ago i told the whole
story about how fridayleball came to be.
And we merged with these guys, these entrepreneurs.
And this whole time it's been remote.
We've gotten to know them via Zoom call,
but never met them in person.
So that's what this weekend was,
is not only do we get to meet them and hang out
and synergy, words like that.
Nice.
Game plan for this next year.
But it was also a time for me, Scott and Isaac
to get some Pickleball content
because it's warm down there, not so much up here.
And then also we we did a meetup
of customers and fans
and just kind of testing it out, seeing what it was like.
It was so fun.
The guys, Matt, Bennett, and Andre
that are running
the business side of the company could not have been
greater.
They are the exact people you want
running your company.
They are just so,
because it's one thing to like,
hey, they know how to run a business.
They don't really know how to talk to people.
I don't know.
They're from Yale.
Maybe they're nerds.
They're numbers guys.
Yeah.
Totally not the case.
Could not have been more personable.
Could not have had better sense of humor.
They were so good.
Like, you know, me and you and Tymon or Rachel Catherine,
100% trust us when it comes to
like we're doing grande boo we're gonna have to be on all weekend long but we can like talk to
people and it's like i don't know if they've ever done anything like this i don't know if they can
if we could you know what are they gonna say that's yeah what if they don't align with us
100 xyz and it could not have been just a more perfect fit they were awesome so that was really
fun and it was interesting to even get feedback after the event it was like a ghost hunters thing so the the place
we did the pickleball meetup at this business austin pickle ranch they came back to us afterwards
they're like we do events here all the time and your fans are just so nice yeah i was like how's
this happening again what did we do to cultivate this a couple pickleball videos selling i don't
know colorful paddles that was enough to cultivate i don A couple of pickleball videos? Selling, I don't know, colorful paddles?
That was enough to cultivate?
I don't know.
How many of them were ghosties?
I would say eight out of like 65.
Really?
Yeah.
So it's a lot of people that are just pickleball fans.
Yeah, maybe 20 of them were like fans of our Instagram.
And then another 25, 20 that are just like customers who just got an email saying,
hey, if you're in the area.
Oh, that's awesome.
So it was a good mix.
We didn't know who was going to show up.
We're like, I don't know if this is going to be,
yeah, Ghost Runners people.
I don't know if this is going to be just like old ladies.
You know, who knows?
For Scott, you know?
Yeah.
Yeah, 55 to 64, Scott's demo.
Go Cougs.
Which I'm talking about BYU, of course.
Great three-point shooting team this year.
Yes.
But it was great.
Kaylee Thompson and her boyfriend came up from San Antonio.
That was awesome.
Kaylee's awesome.
Kaylee's awesome.
The boyfriend was awesome.
They were great.
Better be awesome.
Hope so.
Yeah.
That's our Kaylee Thompson.
Yeah.
Yeah.
What does Michael say in the office?
If you lay a hand on Kaylee, I'll kill So like, if you lay a hand on Kaylee,
I'll kill you.
Yeah.
He's like,
if you ever lay a hand on Kaylee,
I'll kill you.
Okay.
Well,
neither of us will lay hands on Kaylee.
Um,
Kaylee Thompson was there,
uh,
girl by the name of Olivia.
I forget your friend's names,
but she was the main ghostie.
So I think that's all I really had to remember.
Great.
Uh,
she went to Baylor.
So brought some college kids.
All right.
Up from Waco.
Sick'em.
Sick'em.
And then also Catherine's brother, Sam.
Yeah.
How fun is that?
Shout out to Sam.
Sambo.
Sambo.
He was awesome.
Speaking of McConaughey, he was wearing a McConaughey shirt,
and I overheard three different people compliment his shirt,
so that was a hit in Austin.
I love it, dude.
Yeah.
They loved the McConaughey shirt.
Yeah.
He was a cool dude.
Yep.
Like just,
you know,
just a guy,
just cool sunglasses,
cool tattoos.
Yeah.
You know,
he's just,
he's,
he's effortlessly cool,
man.
He's just a good dude.
Yeah.
It was fun just to talk to him and,
you know,
about your guys' family.
And he's like,
dude,
I listen to the pod.
And he's like,
it's always fun.
Like post Christmas posts,
like get together.
Just being like,
what's he going to talk about?
Like what's Brad going to share for the weekend?
I hope he doesn't say that part.
That was a little too intense.
Yeah.
And I'm sure he's like, most of the time I don't really get mentioned, which I was like,
that's probably a good thing.
I was like, but you probably get to see, like, you'll get to hear a story of a version of
the story for the podcast.
And you know, like what Brad has omitted.
Yeah, maybe, you know how it actually went down.
It's like, dude, that's not real.
Yeah, you're wrong. That's how Catherine feels every week. It's like, dude, that's not real. Yeah, you're wrong.
That's how Catherine feels every week, I think.
I don't think that's really what it was, Brad.
Yeah.
Oh, 100%.
And I never, well, maybe I do it on purpose.
I don't think I do it on purpose.
Most of the time it's like,
that's how I saw it or whatever, but yeah.
Yeah, it's your perception, your reality.
And then there were a couple people there
that they were like, dude,
I just want to say,
but following you since the Juggling Josh days,
I was like, that's crazy. J josh had a sticky effect man sticky effect like we hear that with
you all the time it's it comes up i mean once a month somewhere someone says it i've known jake
since juggling josh days yeah really so yeah there was a guy there uh a set of twins fascinating
like all twins are wait were they the Do Perfect guys?
They're from Texas, Jake.
You should have had them in your videos.
Oh, I should have screen-recorded their Facebook and had them on our podcast. Boy, did you botch that one.
Let them botch.
Oh, you let them botch.
Let them botch.
Oh, I let myself botch.
Jake, they're huge.
Dang it. People would have really liked that Jake, they're huge. Dang it.
People would have really liked that.
And they're active.
Like, they do sports stuff.
Pickleball's a sport, Jake.
Do you see the connection?
Dang it.
Oh.
And I've met them before.
Man, I...
And they watched your channel?
That's crazy.
I love my self-botch.
Yeah, you botched.
You botched it.
So that all was just so fun. 40 people registered. I let myself botch. Yeah, you botched. You botched it.
So that all was just so fun.
40 people registered.
So we brought 50 paddles.
And I think 60 plus, 65 people ended up showing up,
ran out of paddles.
We're writing down their name and number. It just felt like an early entrepreneur thing.
It was like, we're building this thing that's so fun
and from the ground up.
And it was such a success that now,
I think we would just want to send Isaac out. We're like, we're building this thing that's so fun from the ground up. And it was such a success that now I think we would just want to send Isaac out.
We're like, this worked.
Isaac, you're our little traveling pickle boy now.
Go do this in every city in America.
It'd be a fun way to build the company that way.
So that was fun.
Austin is just cool.
How much have you spent in Austin?
Some.
My brother-in-law Sam lives there.
My cousin lived there for a while.
Done a few conferences down there for Integrated.
Yeah, that's right.
Yeah.
I mean, I haven't like explored everywhere,
but I've been to a few weddings down there at Camp Lucy.
Yeah, that's right.
So yeah.
What do you want to say about it?
I'll tell you what I want to say about it.
Yeah, I've been down there for like Trey's wedding.
I think a couple shows we've done in Austin.
I don't know if I've ever had my own car in Austin
and really gotten to like see a bunch of different pockets.
I see why everybody moves there.
Austin's pretty stinking cool.
And I'm one to say like all cities are basically the same.
All people in cities are basically the same.
But Austin's like-
Austin's not the same as other cities.
It's got a leg up.
It's pretty cool.
And right away, we're driving down.
And it's just like, I've never seen a city like this.
To my right looks like maybe like a homeless seen a city like this to my right.
Looks like maybe like a homeless encampment.
There's an RV.
And to my left is a Lululemon store.
Right.
It was truly like that.
It was like,
location doesn't matter here.
I think real estate started to come by.
It's like,
if you could put a story there,
put it there.
Who cares what is next to it?
Who cares what the vibe is like?
It's just like,
if you've got room for a coffee shop,
yeah.
Like there would just be the nicest, most modern looking like law firm ever and then next to it was like multiple
rvs and it's like this is a crazy town and rvs like rvs parked in like front lawns and stuff
like it was just like nothing matched nothing fit yeah but it was cool that way and so very early on
we're all just driving and Scott just kept
saying like, boys, keep your eyes peeled, you know, head on a swivel. And just like, it kept
getting funny because we kept seeing stuff and Scott's like, keep your eyes peeled. I told you,
keep your eyes peeled. Uh, on our first afternoon there, we saw a cyber truck in the wild and we're
like, Whoa, look at that. It's got like, keep your eyes peeled boys. I'm telling you. Really?
Was it parked or was it driving? I was driving. It was at an intersection next to us. And so,
yeah, it was just, we just saw all sorts of stuff all the time. They have palm trees there.
Would you think Austin has palm trees? Yeah. I mean, it's pretty warm down there,
but I didn't know that. Keep your eyes peeled, man. Keep your eyes peeled. Palm trees down there.
What else? Scott was just so funny. Just the time like this private court lbj's
court yeah yeah who's how'd you get that hooked up this guy so we met we connected with the largest
pickleball newsletter i'm sure you're familiar with uh dink the dink how did you know that
come on i forgot about the voting you forgot the voting okay that's still impressive yeah so we get connected with those guys and he's like would
you want to do some content we're like great he's like all right i'll get you a court so we don't
know where we're going we show up to this court first of all a couple golden retrieves running
around awesome yep and i don't know what his dad did to get all of his money but now he's the
the gm of a major league pickleball team and uh anyway there's
big pickleball family the dink is there there's like there's like nine of us there it's a little
overwhelming but oh wow we're starting to go this court scott's looking at it on like the satellite
view on google maps and he's going i think this is where colin and ben john's practice i think i've
seen videos of them this is where they drill like yeah maybe i don't know he's like yeah it's like
very woodsy and like it's like a private court oh my gosh and i was freaking out like dude it's all
good we show up it's calling ben john scott chill out scott's going boys hallowed ground
completely serious we're on hallowed ground boys scott just you just gotta chill get this out of
your system i mean to be fair scott's a m Mormon, so he thinks Independence, Missouri is hallowed ground, too.
So maybe that's why he has pretty low standards.
Boys, Missouri, hallowed ground.
Benjaz is dinked here.
That's pretty good.
So yeah, it was just great.
I feel like Scott always had something to say.
I think when we do our Blanks of the Week,
I'm going to talk about Scott a little more
because he was our DJ of the week.
I drove us everywhere.
Scott DJed.
And anyway, I'll talk more about Austin.
I'm going to get ready for the big, big convo.
All right?
All right.
I'm going to click on the link.
Trying to get a few more facts about Rich Roll.
Oh, he's got teenage daughters.
Okay.
So timing.
Yeah.
Oh, his wife's name is Julie.

and the guy never showed.
So I don't know.
We don't know what's going on.
It may be something that just ends up
in the Wednesday episode.
Yeah, maybe.
Oh, hey, here's your phone, Brad.
It's been voice-moving all that.
Boy, would you love to hear that.
I bet we'll put that on the Patreon.
Just be enthralled.
We should.
It would be so boring.
People would listen, though.
Anyway, so we'll keep you updated on the hack phone call.
But Brad, you've got a game for us.
Yeah, we did it once.
Segment.
Segment.
We did it once when it was just me and Timon, and it was called Anyone Else.
And we just share a thing, and we just say, anyone else?
And then we either say yes or no.
Or Timon could use the crickets or the clapping for him.
Or the robot voice.
Or the robot voice.
You never know what's going to happen.
That's true, yeah.
That was, yeah, something else.
So, yeah, anyone else?
That's the segment.
You want to start us off, Jake?
Anyone else?
Sure. I have one from me,, Jakey? Anyone else? Sure.
I have one from me, and I have one from Rachel.
Okay.
All right.
Fun.
So I'll start with Rachel's.
This is what Rachel says.
She said, as a kid, I loved runny salsa.
But as an adult, I really value chunky salsa.
Anyone else?
I was not feeling that one.
I don't understand as a kid loving runny salsa.
Why would you ever love runny salsa?
That's what I was thinking too.
It just soaks the chip and you can't even like get any on it.
I'm sure Rachel would have a very strong opinion on why she believed that,
but I didn't even ask a follow-up question.
I was like, yeah, that's good.
Yeah, I'll say that.
I'll write it down.
Yeah, that's great.
That's a good point.
Yeah, runny salsa, I mean, it's just prime time for just falling on your shirt.
Like, because there's no, I mean, how do you know if it's just,
I mean, just a little tilt and it's gone, you know?
Maybe as a kid, you're like scared of like peppers and like chunks and onions or whatever else.
My kids are definitely.
Yes.
So maybe that's what it is.
You're just like scared of chunks.
So you're like,
well,
I know like liquid.
I like liquid.
My kids haven't gotten into condiments barely at all.
They kind of like ketchup,
but like most of the time to say,
that's funny.
They haven't.
I mean,
so often it's like,
well,
Bo likes hummus a lot,
but like Bo, Bo is definitely the most condiment guy.
Bo is definitely the Mediterranean one of your family.
Yeah.
Hattie, though, she likes hummus too.
But Hattie, with a burger, it's just a burger and a bun.
No extra calories.
It's chicken.
You guys want some ketchup for your chicken?
Maybe that would make it like they're not really loving the chicken that night.
No ketchup. No ranch. I don't want to try any
ranch salt and pepper. Oh yeah. Salt and pepper. Is that a condiment? I guess that's a, no, I don't
know. No, they love salt and pepper. Almost like to the point where I'm like, you guys are going to
have heart issues. Um, so, and we, we use this brand of salt called Redmond and it's like,
they claim that it's real salt.
Like it's like,
which I don't know all the depths of that,
but whatever real salt.
It's like a free range salt.
Whereas like,
I think some salt is like whatever manufactured differently.
Anyway.
Um,
and so Hattie now will be like,
can I have some real salt on my eggs,
please?
Like,
gosh,
you sound so pretentious.
Uh,
so,
and I think the other stuff we get is fine, too.
But anyway, I agree with Rachel on the chunky salsa.
I love a good chunky salsa.
Yeah.
Yeah.
The new take is good.
But the old take, I don't understand ever wanting the old one.
I don't remember ever being excited about it.
She was scared of the chunks, guys.
Maybe if it was like, give me like, we'll call it smooth, but thick.
Is that fair?
I like that.
Yeah.
Is that considered runny?
Hey, if you go like this and you push it down, will it run off?
Therefore, is it runny?
I don't know.
Anyone else?
Like if you guys have been to Chewy's, I think Chewy's has some great salsa.
You do love Chewy's.
Also like Jose Pepper's, which is pretty smooth, pretty
runny, but has enough stuff
to stick on there.
Jose Peppers. I think we're going to take our families there this
weekend. Do you know my parents and the Coops are coming down this weekend?
I did know that. Yeah, neighbor gots.
Fun place to take your parents.
Catherine does not think Jose Peppers is
good at all. Really? The Espanac?
I think it's great.
I mean, it's Mexican. Brad, it's good!
It's Tex-Mex. It's actually Tex-Mex.
It's not Applebee's Tex-Mex.
Rachel wanted me to clarify. I forgot what I said
on the podcast. She was like, I said Chili's is Tex-Mex, not
Applebee's. I go, well, you're wrong either way.
Either way.
Anyone else? Matt Reif.
Ever heard of him? Yes.
He was on my algorithm
nonstop and just is not on my algorithm non-stop and
just is not on my algorithm at all
anymore.
Anyone else?
Honestly, kind of, yeah. I feel like I just don't
hear about him anymore.
Jake? I was expecting a sound effect.
This is for Jake.
Thanks. Make me feel
better. Yeah, geez, Brad. No, I totally
agree. I don't know. I don't. Jeez, Brad. No, I totally agree. Uh, I don't know.
I don't follow him. So maybe he just stopped posting. Could that be it? Maybe I was supposed
to do applause. That's what you're saying. I was like, what? Okay. Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey.
Yeah. I don't know if he's not posting, but even when he wasn't posting, I feel like I was seeing
stuff that was posted four months ago or something, but maybe they don't know if he's not posting, but even when he wasn't posting, I feel like I was seeing stuff that was posted four months ago or something.
But maybe they don't feed you stuff from him anymore
if you don't consistently feed the accounts.
But anyway, I think he kind of got canceled at one point
or tried to be or something, so maybe that was part of it.
Still posting.
Posted six days ago and got 250,000 likes, so that's good.
It's just not coming to me.
I don't know.
Wow, yeah, he's still posting you're right he did kind of get canceled for like um it was like a special needs joke he
made in a special and then instead and then he really doubled down on it did you see that thing
on his uh with the helmet or something yeah yeah it's like yeah if you if you're offended by this
here's your helmet i don't know something it was like here's uh here's my apology and there
was a link to like a helmet or something yeah nice um so yeah i uh i feel like the uh i'm not
a big conspiracy guy on the internet you know not of like the algorithms against me i man i got
shadow banned i don't know what's going on i swear these hashtags used to you know i'm always just
just make a better video.
Just make the video,
just make the funnier.
That's all it is.
Can I clarify?
Go ahead.
Do you not believe in shadow?
Like, do you don't think that happens?
I think you see,
I think the people complaining about it
way outweighs what's actually happening.
Okay.
Like, like actually going on.
So it sometimes might happen, but not.
True.
I think it's probably a thing that has happened.
5% as much as people think it does. Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah okay i i think most of the time there's just a logical explanation for what's happening it's like well yeah you had a lot of followers
you know eight years ago posting wedding photos and you haven't adapted or whatever sure um
but one thing i do think i somewhat believe in is there are like humans making choices behind the algorithm.
Like, like there was a, I saw an interview with, he wasn't the CEO of TikTok, but a guy who worked
within TikTok and they kind of handpicked Charlie D'Amelio and Addison Rae to be kind of like the
faces of their brand. Now they didn't tell them this, they didn't know this, but they're like,
here's like two girls that we really like, and we're going to make sure everybody sees them.
We are going to make them the faces because like, you know,
a lot of platforms think like you do, like if you hear Snapchat,
like I don't think of anyone Instagram.
I don't know if anyone to think of,
maybe nowadays you would think of Mr. Beast for YouTube.
But back then it was like, you know, three, four years ago,
it was like TikTok has like faces aligned with it.
Interesting.
And they, they did that like purposely. I think it did intelligently.
And so maybe there is something to do with that.
Like we tried Matt Rife.
He went a little too far.
All right.
We're going to take him away a little bit.
Interesting.
I,
I,
I could stand behind that.
Yeah.
Here.
Anyone else?
Yes.
All right,
time.
Okay.
Uh,
when I wake up to an alarm,
my phone has to be fully across the room
in order for me to have any willpower to get up.
So I have to go physically move to turn it off.
Do you do that?
Anyone else?
The way you looked at us.
Whoa.
What was that?
Little...
Things are happening over here. here just flew out of somewhere
it's jake's little like a bottom thing here oh i see where did it go oh it's there somewhere
so timing you're saying that wow uh you do you do that every night or do you do that only on
the nights where it's like i gotta get up at up at a certain time? Oh no. Yeah. Whenever, whenever I like, I'm like, I need, I need to make sure that I am up at a good time.
I will like put my phone just like across the room.
So I have to get up and physically walk to turn off the alarm.
Yeah.
So then I'm already up.
Otherwise, like I'm just so tired in the morning.
You just got to snooze it.
Yeah.
Or if it's within arm's reach, I'm just turning it off and falling asleep.
Do you guys not?
I purposely plan for the snooze.
Oh, yeah.
I have three alarms, which in this instance is kind of silly.
But it's still a reward.
I mean, it's still fun to just jump back into bed.
Get your phone and go back in bed?
Turn it off, and there's two more alarms.
I don't understand i don't
know why not just do that from your bed you get up and walk and press snooze and then go back to
bed it's a reward it's like yeah you earned this buddy i don't know so it sounds like the system
isn't fully working because getting up and out of bed isn't enough to make you not go back to
sleep anymore it's true you can still go back to sleep this i really should just have one alarm
because yeah yeah that's part of the fear for me back to sleep. With this, I really should just have one alarm because...
That's part of the fear for me is if I only do one
alarm, I have to
get up. Because sometimes I
actually turn it off subconsciously.
Yeah, you don't even know it. That's scary.
In college,
we had two sleeping doors in my fraternity.
So basically, the whole fraternity
was in two different rooms.
Thoughts? Spam call? Yes or no?
Not today.
Not today.
Dang.
Sorry, guys.
And one of the guys, his alarm,
they had to answer a decently complicated math problem
every single time for his alarm to turn off.
Yeah.
And that, everyone hated that guy.
That guy was not good at math.
Like, come on, dude.
That was so bad.
I've heard of that strategy,
but I am a deep enough sleeper
where I don't know if it would wake me up
even the first time if it was across the room.
I need the volume loud enough to where it's next to me.
Well, I'm a crazy deep sleeper too,
but it's not.
I mean, it's 10 feet away.
And I have ringers at full volume.
Okay, so you are waking up to it still.
Yes.
Sounds like everyone's waking up to it. Yeah. Yeah. That's the tough thing
about being married too, is like, I always feel for Catherine. If I, if I set my alarm really
early and then I just snooze 20 times, I apologize before we go to bed that night. Hey, sorry about
tomorrow morning. It could be rough for you because I'm getting up an hour before you,
and I don't know if I'm going to do it the first time. But what I do is I keep my alarm kind of quiet,
but I put it right next to my bed,
so therefore I can hear it,
but she doesn't get bothered by it.
Lifehack, what do you think about this?
Falling asleep with AirPods in.
AirPods connected to your phone.
Your alarm goes off.
It's just buzzing real loud, but only for you.
No shot.
I'm keeping AirPods in while I'm sleeping.
Bad idea in so many regards.
I can't even walk without them falling.
Dude, I...

Schemers are the worst.
His webcam.
That would have been so nice if his webcam worked.
What are the odds?
The one day we were talking, his webcam doesn't work.
It was great.
Just on my screen, it's just a giant pixelated logo of Facebook.
Dude, can I tell you?
That's the same thing that I saw
and I didn't even,
I was like, whatever.
There's a Facebook fan.
He likes Facebook.
Yeah, he didn't know what to put on his thing.
He should be a professional.
Oh man, yeah.
That guy was harder,
like both audio quality and accent
to understand than the first time I talked to somebody.
That's Alex for him. That's Alex. Nice for him to try the webcam though. like both audio quality and accent to understand. Then the first time I talked to somebody, um,
and that's Alex for him.
That's Alex.
Nice for him to try the webcam though.
You know, he tried it at his best.
Yeah.
Couldn't get my webcam.
He went dark for about 30 seconds.
Just let us talk to each other while he fake set up his webcam.
This is going to show those guys.
So that was scam calling a ritual podcast ritual.
It's funny that it's so similar to Rick roll, which is a common like, you know, misdirect
on the internet.
So who got Rich Roll today?
Yeah, he did.
That guy did.
He did.
You've been Rich Rolled.
That's the new verb for getting, scamming a scammer.
You've been, you've been, you've had seven minutes of your time taken from you.
Ha, rich world.
I hope he's late
to his 1030 meeting
because he's reeling.
All right,
let's continue doing
anyone else.
Yeah,
anyone else?
So,
it's your turn again,
I think.
Yeah,
what do we end with?
Timon,
you said,
oh,
the alarm thing.
The alarm thing.
The alarm.
Fun,
fun,
fun,
fun.
Anyone else?
People are too quick
to abbreviate numbers.
I've got two examples for you. Okay.
One, this happened last night, which made me think
of it, but it's been happening forever.
We're talking in the sport of volleyball.
I remember the first time I ever played
volleyball with Rachel. And once
we got to double digits,
the other team's like, 2-8?
I'm like, well, it's 12-8. And 12
is the same syllables as 2. So let's not try and confuse her. So let's just say 12. Sure. And Rachel was like, I'm with
you. She was with me from the beginning. She's like, yes, I don't know why everyone's so quick
to do this. Three, six, you lose track. And you don't know if it's 13, 16, is it 13, six, three,
16. Why not? Just, we got all the time that we're playing volleyball. We're having fun.
Just say the full number. Yeah, yeah, that's fair.
Other example, you see this one a lot.
Maybe I've talked about this on the podcast before.
I feel like guys especially, especially good old boys,
a little too quick to abbreviate dollar amounts of something.
I remember one time talking to a guy,
and it's one of those conversations where it's like,
dude, what makes you think I know about this at all? And he's like, I mean, if I was getting like a nice lawnmower, I mean, that might send me back like 13.
Yeah.
I don't know if that's 1300, 13,000.
I don't know.
Is it a big old riding on $13 at the local flea market?
I don't know.
Yeah.
Is it a trinket?
People are always doing that.
I had a financial planning call yesterday.
A lot of it was about life insurance
which that was not the most fun to think about sure it seems like a necessary thing to talk
about if slash when you die yeah you know how set up do you want your family to be and when
rachel dies before you like cool cool let's keep talking about this wow okay that's interesting fun
um but he's like you know i know some people like obviously kids aren't in the picture yet for you,
but I know some people who will set aside,
I don't know, maybe five for their kids.
Like, dude, I don't know what metric this could possibly be.
Yeah.
Five million dollars?
Is this like at the end?
Or is this like 5,000 a month?
I don't know.
I don't know.
I see a lot of people, probably about five
per kid.
Let's just save everybody some time
by not saving time and just
save the full number, just so we're all on the same page.
Anyone else?
Yes, I agree.
I agree with all that.
Yes!
One for two.
I think the first thing you said about the sports numbers, if, uh, the only thing, the
only time I like it is when you're playing, let's say to 11 and you had to win by two
in basketball or something like that.
It's pickup game.
And, uh, all of a sudden it's 12, 11, 13 to 12, whatever.
Then it's three, two, you know, whatever.
That's fine.
Cause then all you gotta know is you got to win by two.
Sometimes, you know, whatever. That's fine. Cause then all you gotta know is you gotta win by two sometime, you know, whatever. That's fine. If you're in the same stratosphere,
it's, it's a psycho move to go from 12 to eight to two, eight.
It happened last night. Confused, uh, our teammate Kalen.
Well, Kalen should at least know what the, like somewhat how the game,
like, I don't think it's like, it's like confusing necessarily. It's just like,
why are you doing it? It's like adding an extra step in your brain it was kind of funny we were two weeks in a row like the first
week we just got killed the last two weeks we're just killing these teams it's like we need to find
a league of people our own skill level but we were killing this team so bad that i think we don't need
to pay attention to score and you know the other team's like you know kayla's about to serve what
score six three or something like that so So he was like 16, three.
And I was like,
okay,
it's not that bad.
I know it seems that bad.
It's 13,
six.
All right.
So yeah,
it's confusing.
So they said six,
three,
meaning six to 13.
Yeah.
Oh gosh.
She's like,
okay,
16,
three.
So maybe it's just a common volleyball thing.
Yeah.
I think it happens a lot in volleyball.
Yeah.
I don't like it.
Um,
the other thing I wonder if certain people,
maybe certain people are just like so oblivious to the fact
that not everyone knows how much those things cost.
Like I talked about the mechanic.
He's like, yeah, it's the main rear seal.
I'm like, oh, is that terrible or is that like $6?
Oh, Riley.
Interesting. But I think also,
I don't know. Uh, also I think that some people do it maybe a little subconsciously, but other people do it on purpose to feel like, make you feel a little bit like inadequate or
like, like you don't know what you're talking about. You're on my cord. I'm so sorry about that. Um, so, you know, like, yeah, this life insurance guy, like he wants you to feel a
little bit like you need him for life insurance. Like, Oh man, I was thinking 5,000. You thought
5,000. So you don't really know, man. You don't really know. No, no, no, not even. Yeah. Um,
but yeah, a hundred percent. Like, I feel like that happened to me with my car, with the transmission.
Like, yeah, it's going to be like nine.
Like, okay.
And are you excited about that?
Nine.
Do you think I, should I be sad?
Would you take, would you do payments at that?
Or is that just like a Chipotle burrito nine?
Or is that like.
In follow up, would you take eight?
Yeah.
Why we meet in the middle?
Surely not million,
right?
Yeah.
Just,
just,
uh,
yeah,
I,
I,
I feel you.
I feel you on that.
People are abbreviating too much.
Okay.
People are reading too much.
Okay.
Mine is,
I'll,
I'll do a twofer here for the end.
One,
anyone else?
Um, I'm having a hard
time with two different things on my phone. I'm just getting older and struggling with technology.
Uh, number one, I'm just having a hard time typing these days. I know it sounds silly,
but most of the time I feel like the, the keyboard will just auto correct for me and
know what I'm supposed to say. And these days it's not doing it. And it feels like it's like
pretty consistently not doing it. Like I feels like it's like pretty consistently not doing
it. Like I'm not even getting close to the right thing or whatever. Uh, also per my Gen Z friend,
Timon's, uh, suggestion, I pinned two contacts, three contacts to the top of my phone, my wife,
my podcast, wife, Jake, and my Maui wife, TJ. Um, and for whatever reason it was glitching out on me where when I
would click on Catherine's name, sometimes it would go to like the thread two down from them.
And I twice texted things. I was supposed to send the tech Catherine to other people,
not realizing it. And boy, could it have been embarrassing if I was sending some hot texts? Good thing I wasn't.
Good thing it was just logistical texts.
Anyone else?
Go ahead, Tyler.
I know.
Yeah, I think my phone's fine.
Great, great.
That's awesome.
No, the pin thing, how is that happening?
I don't know how.
I don't know.
And at first I was like, maybe I'm not clicking it right.
Are you messing it up?
No.
Are you getting wet?
I know.
Yeah, maybe.
It's wet fingers.
That's a fair thought.
And I thought the first time it happened, actually it happened with Ghosty, Josh Brumfeld.
Okay.
Field.
Shout out to Josh Brumfeld.
He just had a baby yesterday.
Wow.
More people in his field. Let me find Josh Brumfield. He just had a baby yesterday. Oh, um,
so I have this field.
Let me,
let me find my text with him.
Uh,
let's see.
Um,
and,
and he was like,
wow,
you're such a boomer. And I was like,
I am,
I can't believe I did that.
And,
oh,
I just said one hour,
exclamation point,
12 to 2 PM tomorrow.
It was supposed to be a Catherine. Cause we were having one hour heating and cooling come to our house.
And he said, awesome, what are we doing?
And then I said, I didn't even realize it was Catherine, or not Catherine.
I said, sorry, one hour heating and air conditioning coming tomorrow.
And I said, where are you?
Two question marks.
This is the phone's fault.
And now it does make me sound like a boomer i'm really
wondering how are you not reading the name of who you're texting i don't know how that happens
i am i yeah to to a blessing and a fault i am very fast at doing certain things and like
very quickly and like yeah let me text jake real quick boom boom boom i don't like proofread
anything whatever i'm just i'm just quick with it.
This was at 10.52 at... No, 11.26
at night. So it was kind of later
in the night.
Do you have profile pictures for any of these people?
I have a profile picture of Catherine.
Even that?
Is this your phone, Brad?
Yeah.
It seems like you may have meant to text someone else
once again
maybe I did it again
a different time
anyway it doesn't matter
but then I did it again
to somebody
that was like
supposed to be
on like
I was buying something
from Facebook marketplace
and I know I didn't
click on there
so I went back
and I clicked Catherine's again
and it kept going to that
thread
weird
got a little bug
little bug
so I'm done with pinned messages.
Oh, yeah.
You texted me when you're trying to text Jake at some point.
That was it.
Yeah.
Yes.
Yes, dude.
I did.
I texted.
I texted Tymon about giving me analytics for Instagram stories.
Yeah.
And he's like, I mean, I don't know how to do that, but I'll try to figure it out and
try to send you some.
I don't do very many Instagram stories. And I'm like, I don't know how to do that, but I'll try to figure it out and try to send you some. I don't do very many Instagram stories.
And I'm like, I don't know.
I mean, that's supposed to be for Jake.
It was weird.
I have yet to come across that problem, so I cannot.
You cannot clap along.
I cannot clap along.
I can cricket along, and that's it.
I'm sorry.
It's interesting, though, because this week or whatever, I'm trying out having no one pinned.
Wow.
To see if it's annoying.
So far, I mean, it's just like it's not that different but i kind of miss the pinned miss the faces yeah i still
haven't pinned on my computer just jake and katherine sorry tj um but not on my phone so
and also maybe the the keyboard thing is me not having a case i've been caseless for a couple
months now and maybe it's just like a little bit closer, and so my proximity
is off. I don't know.
Wait, your typing would be off because you
don't have a case?
I don't know. Yeah.
Huh. I mean, the buttons are all in the
same spots.
I know, but I'm
a little bit closer. I don't know.
Yeah, I think I see what you're saying.
Your thumbs are closer?
Slight bit less. it's a tiny deviation yeah but
those numbers are small or letter right yeah so how how about you just get off your high horse
over there just that's yeah it could be your dainty little hands could could be could be
okay when i ever go shopping or try to get like groceries usually for my mom or something
like that you say groceries right groceries you say groceries groceries groceries no groceries
yeah groceries are you guys saying the same thing to mess with me groceries go ahead you
got groceries austin yeah that is what i was doing uh i will somehow i will somehow every time take probably the longest
possible route to each thing i i think my intuition is just so bad at figuring out where
things are and i'm not experienced with grocery shopping grocery shopping grocery grocery uh so i
it's just that's anyone else
we kind of talked about this last week a little bit, right?
I wanted to invent the app.
Yeah, the Google Maps for grocery shopping.
I was, yeah, I was really needing it on Sunday,
trying to pick up some things.
Tywin, I'll give it to you.
Thanks.
When I don't go to Aldi,
every once in a while we have to go to Price Chopper
just to pick up like a spice or something.
I don't know where anything is in that store.
And so often my intuition is like, I bet it's gotta be right. There's no way. I mean, there's only four aisles to the left.
It's gotta be on the right somewhere. I go and it's not anywhere close to being found. Yeah.
So my last grocery. Yeah. Shopping experience. Uh, Rachel asked me to get Brussels sprouts.
This is probably my first time 32 years old probably
first time buying brussels sprouts probably i can't imagine it happening before unless it was
for like k-life game or something there's it's got to be your first time and i'm over in the um
you know like the the left side of a little price chop this is areas where like there might be a
little bakery on the far left side you know maybe there's like some some shelving units for like some of the beer some of the seltzers okay you know i'm in this
area and while i'm over there getting i think i'm getting like some fruit in the area between that
you know i see some bananas in a similar little area i see there's bagged chopped brussels sprouts
okay i'm like oh i guess this is where they keep brussels sprouts okay cool i don't know if rachel
wants chopped or not but i'm like great that's where you this is where they keep Brussels sprouts. Okay, cool. I don't know if Rachel wants chopped or not,
but I'm like, great, that's where you have it.
Next thing you know, 15 minutes later,
I'm getting myself some pizza rolls.
We're in the frozen food aisle.
Completely opposite end.
And then what do I see?
All sorts of different bagged Brussels sprouts.
I'm like, oh, this is where they keep them, I guess.
Now I got to go back to where I started to get Brussels sprouts
to make sure I didn't miss any other Brussels sprouts.
You shouldn't keep the same thing in two completely different areas.
That's what I'm upset about.
Okay.
Even if they're frozen.
Yes.
You want the frozen ones right next to the fresh ones.
Yes.
I shouldn't have to.
It's a football field distance.
I'm going to contrast and compare Brussels sprouts.
The whole time I'm waiting on Rachel to text me back
and figure out what we even want.
Yeah, that's what it is.
It's just got to text the one.
Yeah, because I don't know what we want.
So yeah, I've taken a lot of long journeys lately.
Don't tell us.
Do you think she would have wanted the frozen or the chopped
or option C?
Timon.
My guess is...
Wait, so frozen is not chopped?
I don't know.
Wait.
Jake?
Is there a non-chopped option?
Yes. Is that the frozen one? I don't even know if. Jake? Is there a non-chopped option? Yes.
Is that the frozen one?
I don't even know if chopped is the right word.
Let me just get that out there right now.
They're not like fully like...
How big are these chunks?
Okay, hold on.
I don't know if chopped...
Chopped.
Chopped.
Okay, okay, okay.
The word that I maybe was meaning to say was shredded this whole time.
Like little strips?
Okay.
Yeah, thinner strips.
Are they still circular?
No.
No, she doesn't want those then.
Yeah, that's what I was thinking.
Anything that's fully spherical.
She wants a ball.
Intact.
Frozen or not, probably.
Sorry, final answer.
I think the word I was looking for was shaved.
Whoa.
Got some stubble.
Shaved?
Shaved.
I should have said chopped.
Chopped was wrong the whole time.
I think Rachel wanted...
Bag of shaved, frozen bag of traditional chopped.
I'm trying to think of what we've had at our house.
I don't know if I've ever really seen.
No, I think we have.
We have fresh in a bag,
not frozen Brussels sprouts.
That's going to be my guess.
That's what I'm thinking.
I'm thinking Walmart always has the section
with all the vegetables fresh,
that section.
Sure, like a bag salad.
It's probably the area.
Is it refrigerated? Is it kind of cold there?
It's kind of cold. Cold enough.
Yeah. That's where I would
like look, I think. That's our guess.
Is that right?
Typical Rachel fashion. I'm like, alright, I got
this. I'm sending her pictures. I got this one. I got
the Target brand. You know, I got this.
This one, there's stubble on this one.
Rachel, of course. Oh, whatever.
Like, well, I'm right here.
So you can have an opinion now.
I have the option.
I need you to tell me.
Whatever you think.
So I was like, I don't know.
And so I think I put the shaved ones down.
Okay.
Because they felt less like what we normally have.
So did you eat them last night?
Oh, this is like two weeks ago.
Oh.
Did you eat them and they were,
they seemed normal?
They were shaved.
Just a little bag
shave you have seen shaved in like uh bag salads before yeah huh all right sorry got us that's a
brussels sprout that was a lot i'd like to apologize all right that's been anyone else
anyone else uh anyone else many mountains of bars uh fun let us know i think you guys really
attached to the rational shock Shock Opinions.
A lot of people had thoughts of their own in the Facebook group.
So this week, you can let us know your anyone else's.
Anyone else's is so broad.
Yeah.
You could say anything.
Been watching Parks and Rec lately.
Anyone else?
Such a good show.
That could be your anyone else.
It's wild that you've watched so many shows and you've never gotten into Parks and Rec.
And I tell Rachel, because she loves it. I'm like, like i'm down i need you to spoon feed it to me though
i'm not gonna click it myself i need you to there was one time where i literally tried to spoon
like that was great we're watching parks and rec tonight at my house you did a makeshift
powerpoint for me you airplayed your phone where you would like swipe over characters and swipe
over people like this is what you need about him so i was like the first season's not that good so
we're starting on this episode whatever but let me just give you a
quick refresh so and i liked it i like it yeah i like it gosh bow is so fun lately man yeah i got
to see him two nights in a row yeah that's been a fun uh fun little trend we're just gonna purposely
be outside every time you're running from yeah i keep forgetting to run until the sun is setting and like, well, I got to go now.
And then your kids are always out at 545 when it's nice out.
It's awesome.
And Catherine, that's like the prime time for Catherine to be like, I need to make dinner.
I'm bothered by the kids.
Go outside.
Go outside.
So anyway, anyone else?
Anyone else going outside?
Timon?
Timon, you've been running?
Tymon's losing it, dude.
Oh, no.
I ran, what's today, seventh?
I ran five days straight in February.
Oh, okay.
And then missed one yesterday.
Oh, okay.
You're fine.
Haven't yet today, but I think I'm gonna.
Yeah.
So, yeah, I'm not.
That's not the right.
Are you gonna run today?
I'm going to. Yes, sir. you gonna run today going to yes sir i will
run today i'm gonna try that i hated when people said like i'll try no say you're gonna do it
commit yeah in or out i'll try yeah i'll see what i'll see i'll see oh yeah maybe i'll try
i don't i don't know what happened. Got late.
All right.
That's fun.
I feel like the bow thing reminded me,
just in the last two nights,
it seems like he has found a new game,
maybe a new phase he's in.
It's called guess what's in here or whatever.
I never seen him do that,
and he's really into it, it seems like. Really into it, and does it?
I tried to teach him again this morning, actually.
I was like, okay, after somebody guesses a few times,
then you just tell him because man,
he wanted me to guess this book that he had.
Uh,
and I guessed 15 different books and he kept no guess again.
I was like,
just tell me.
And then he'd be like,
his clues were terrible.
He goes,
he goes,
it's an animal
and i was like paw patrol peter rabbit yeah paw patrol uh all these different things and then
finally i was like bo you just gotta tell me dude and he brings around berensting bears i was like
that's not a p so yeah but he did that to you and finally i was like trying to's not a P. So, yeah, but he did that to you.
And finally, I was like trying to tell you what it was because he wasn't giving in.
Yeah, Rachel was whispering it to me.
I still couldn't get it.
I thought she was whispering marshmallow.
It was Marshall, apparently.
Yeah.
Guess what's in this bag?
Yeah.
So I'm guessing some ridiculous things.
And after a while, I realized I'm going to have to just get it.
Because he's not telling you.
Nope.
No.
No, not that.
No, it's not that, Mr. Jake.
Not that.
And then like two minutes later, he's like,
guess which animal goes in these cars?
It's kind of fun.
Yeah.
It's a good old guessing game.
This is a parenting nugget for anybody out there
who is going through this.
Bo, I mean, he's still far from perfect. Our kids are always
going to be imperfect centers, but, uh, he is like on a trajectory towards like, you are a good kid
now that he is obeying. He is, if I ask him to do something, he will do it. He'll say, yes, sir. He,
I mean, obviously not perfect every time, but he's getting so much better. And like,
I don't know, six months, eight months ago, like literally Catherine and I were having
conversations like, what are we going to do about Bo? Like Bo is just having
such a hard time. We don't know what to do. We can't just like force them to do anything. Like
we're trying our best. And it's so funny because we had the exact same conversations, the exact
same like prayer requests for Hattie. It felt like four or five weeks in a row at Bible study.
We'd be like, guys, sorry, I almost didn't make it today because Hattie was having such a meltdown.
And Hattie is like so good now. So I don't know if that's like, and maybe it's a microcosm for
the world, maybe not even just parenting, but it's like, man, it just seems like,
what are we going to do about blank? And then just like, trust the process,
trust that it's going to get better. So just keep doing the right things.
And hopefully,
and like I said,
Bo could turn a corner next week and be a punk again,
but right now he's turning the right on the right track.
And it is so fun to like,
see like fruit coming from that.
So totally.
Yeah.
Cause yeah,
if you want your kids to be great,
you should hold them to a high standard.
And sometimes that could be a big bummer for a six-month
stretch, and they can't meet the standard.
100%. But then they come around to it.
Yeah, it's like, gosh, let's just give in.
Who cares if he has his shredded Brussels sprouts?
They're shaved anyway. It's gross.
It's like, no.
You can't be the picky kid.
We're going to have to do it again with Rosie,
I'm sure.
Fun times as parents. Fun times. Should we go on to have to do it again with Rosie, I'm sure. Yeah. But anyway, fun times as parents.
Fun times.
Should we go on to our next segment?
Let's do it.
Blanks of the week.
Wow.
No problem.
We'll get you in the harmony someday.
Yeah.
What episode are you on, Tymon?
46, I think.
46.
Can we start, Tymon, if you don't, if this isn't too much of a homework for you, can
we start having a segment every week where it's like what I learned about Jake and Brad
this week?
Ooh, sure.
Because obviously you've hung out with us now for a year, but I bet there's things that
we have never said on here that you like learned about our past or something.
I think it'll be easy to like think of something that I found interesting or like funny or
whatever, but like learning something new. I'll think about it. Just give us something good every found interesting or funny or whatever, but learning something new,
I'll think about it.
Just give us something good every week.
Something good, yeah.
Yeah, something good.
Because there's people out there
that have listened for 50 episodes
and have no idea that Jake is allergic to red meat.
Yeah.
You know?
Yeah.
Or like, where's Brad from originally?
Yeah.
Maybe they don't know that kind of stuff.
Anyway.
One thing from listening to stuff,
I was driving home from choir
my brother and he's like he's never listened to a full episode of ghost runners he doesn't jesse
he doesn't like care that much yeah thanks jess anyone else um so i'm uh i'm like on episode 45
i think listening in the car he's with me and like he it was i think you guys were talking about boys baby names because like
i think talking about what you could potentially name bow okay and like a bunch i think jake just
looked a bunch of random like popular the most popular and i gave you tons of options he narrowed
it down to four and then like whatever you guys were saying about all of them like jesse was dying
laughing and i was like that's awesome cool oh fun we're getting him i thought you're gonna say one of them was timing and we were like what a name is, that's awesome. Cool. Oh, fun. We're getting him. I thought you were going to say one of them was Timon,
and we were like, what a name is that?
That's crazy.
How is that a popular name?
Yeah, right.
That's cool.
Like, watch somebody develop.
What do you mean watch somebody develop?
Let them watch.
But yeah, if anyone, I think it was like around an hour in episode 45.
It's a good bit. Yeah? Yeah. I can't remember the specifics, but yeah, it was like around an hour in episode 45. It's a good, good bit.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I can't remember the specifics, but yeah, it was, it was funny.
Cool.
Check it out.
Okay.
Let's do a song of the week.
Song of the week.
I'll start.
I've just been obsessed.
Ben Rector came out with a cover of, is that what yours is?
This was going to be mine.
Really?
Yeah.
This is perfect.
That was perfect.
This was going to be mine. Yeah. It's a great day to be alive. Or yes, I was called or This was gotta be mine. Really? Yeah. This is perfect. This is perfect. This is gotta be mine.
Yeah.
It's a great day to be alive.
Or yes,
I was called or great day to be alive.
Um,
I knew the song originally,
but like just knew my main,
the chorus.
And I'm just convinced.
I think Ben Rector is a good songwriter.
And every once in a while,
he really hits you in those nostalgic fields,
old friends,
whatever.
We'll never be this young again,
but like most of the time,
I think it's his voice that is just, just money. And so sometimes with his covers, this one specifically,
it's just like, I could listen to this, like the tone of the piano and is so good. The whatever,
the guitar sounds good. His voice sounds awesome sun's still shining when I close my eyes. There's some
hard times in the neighborhood, but why can't every day be just this good?
And then I've been listening to basically like playing that song on Spotify and letting it play
out, you know, on Spotify radio. And then when you start your playlist with a song called,
it's a great day to be alive. Spotify is like, well, let's just give them a lot of positive,
happy things. And so it's been like kind of springy weather out plus this awesome song,
plus all these other positive songs. And it's just like windows down, just feeling nice, dude.
So it's just been a fun week of, yeah, just listening to it. And then I got kind of deeper
into Ben Rector. I was like listening to some of his other, he has a live album from Atlanta in 2023 that I never listened to.
And he has a,
like his version of steady love on there.
Oh,
this guy,
his guitar player just shreds a guitar solo.
And I was just doing chores around my house yesterday.
Listen to it in my headphones going,
just like,
just grooving as I'm like doing all this stuff.
So,
um,
yeah,
that's my song of the week. That's fun. That was the first song that So, um, yeah, that's my song of the week.
That's fun.
That was the first song that came to mind.
Uh,
when you said song of the week.
So I was like,
yeah,
I wouldn't have sought after a Ben Rector cover of a country song,
but it came on my release radar.
Yeah.
And so I just keep listening to it over because it's good.
It's so good.
And it's obviously country sort of,
but I mean,
it's not like this,
like,
uh,
he doesn't have twang to his voice oh yeah he's just
singing a slow song also pretty cool to think like it's at the ryman which is where you performed
like you've been on the same you might have stood on the same exact place that he's singing the same
toilet backstage same toilet backstage yeah i need to listen to this song it's great i'll add
it to my playlist it's not gonna like blow you away but i mean musically but it's just perfectly perfect like it's just yeah what it is and it's nice it's nice uh my song of the week
uh comes from well it starts with my sister caitlin triplet she texts me on thursday afternoon or so
and says i'm preparing so she's like a uh like a hit workout yoga instructor,
and she takes her music very seriously,
which I like about it.
She's like, I will have the best music
out of any of these instructors.
So she said-
Makes a difference.
She was preparing for her Super Bowl sculpt,
is what it's called.
So she's like, I'm preparing for an Usher-only sculpt class.
And she's like, along the way, I found this song.
I don't think I'm gonna use it for sculpt,
but I just need you to pass it along to Scott. And I was like, I'm seeing Scott all found this song. I don't think I'm going to use it for Sculpt, but I just need you to pass it along to Scott.
And I was like, I'm seeing Scott all weekend.
I'm going to do it.
And so I showed the song to Scott,
and he has not shut up about it.
Every single time we got in the car this week,
Scott has not shut up about something.
We got in the car.
He would play this song.
There was one of the Friday Pickle guys
who was in the car with us, and he's like,
you guys think we should probably show Andre the song song like scott you just want to play it we
don't obviously need to show andre the song you just want to play this like yeah it's like this
inside joke like andre needs to get it let in on the joke don't you think andre won't want to hear
it that's amazing so i already had this in mind i was telling brad before we started recording i
was like you're gonna love this part about sc on the podcast. And right when that happened, Scott sends me and Isaac a screenshot of him listening to it
on Spotify and says, hope y'all are starting your Wednesday with the same energy.
It's like, dude, you're just going to run this into the ground.
Can we play on the audio version? Can you put in a little bit of each of these songs?
Sure. That'd be fun. I was going to play like three seconds of it now because I do think
you're going to be like, yeah, that is nice. So we'll going to play like three seconds of it now. Cause I do think you're, you're going to be like,
yeah, that is nice.
So we'll see.
We'll play like three,
four seconds of it.
And.
That is the most Scott song I've ever heard.
It's got the,
keep your eyes peeled boys.
I just see him.
Did he do this?
This is his favorite dance right here.
He was behind me.
I don't know what he was doing back there.
That's like, he loves this dance.
Oh, I didn't even recognize the usher in the background.
Yeah, the beat for the whatever, some melody from Yeah is going.
And so it is catchy, but it's all in Spanish.
It's usher DJ Khaled and J Bal is catchy, but it's all in Spanish.
It's Usher, DJ Khaled, and J Balvin.
Okay.
Whole thing's in Spanish.
That's Scott's fever dream.
Yeah, it's perfect.
Almost said a different word, but anyway.
It's so funny.
Yeah, because we looked it up, and the song means show me your teeth.
Yeah, dame los dientes.
Dientes.
Dame los dientes.
And you want to get a laugh out of Scott, you just sing that quietly to yourself,
and he will giggle every time.
We'll just be walking back to something and just quietly.
Which also, I don't know any of the Spanish words.
All I know is dientes,
so I would just make up something.
And he just starts laughing,
and then five minutes later.
He loved it every time.
Loved it every time.
Oh, man.
Song of the week.
Show me your teeth.
I guarantee you this is how he's dancing.
Right here.
That's how he dances to all his reggae tone crap.
Hopefully we don't get copyrighted for that, but it is fun.
I don't think Caitlyn should play in her Super Bowl sculpt.
It's slapperino.
I bet she does have some great
playlists. I know. It would be kind of
fun to go if it wouldn't be excruciatingly painful
to be a part of it.
I asked her, I was like, what are you doing Saturday morning?
Because, you know, our family's here. The Coops are in town.
I said, what are you doing Saturday morning? All caps.
She goes, Super Bowl sculpt. You coming?
And I was like, ah. I was hoping to hang out
with you, not sweating.
What if your whole family went? So that's what I said. I was like, do you think, I was like, what if with you, not sweating. What if your whole family went?
So that's what I said.
I was like, do you think,
I was like, what if we got the Steves to go?
And she, I should look at her text
because it was pretty funny.
She said, I would honestly be concerned
for their health slash life if they were in there.
Really?
Angie would kill it though, she said.
Yeah.
Dude, I mean, surely,
can they not just like take time like
off? I don't know. There is the social
pressure of 30 other people in the room with you. Like I don't
want to take breaks. I got to keep going.
I can see Steve Coop. I can hear
killing himself. I get
Steve. I don't know if we should keep doing this.
Steve, this is pretty tough.
It's pretty tough.
I'm sweating over here.
Coop, I can't talk to you right now, okay?
What?
Now, Kate, what did you say you wanted me to do on here?
So credit to Scott.
It is a catchy song, but he is obsessed with just every time
I get out of the car
oh I'm sure
I'm sure he loved it man
that's perfect
song of the week
well beat that Tymon
I can't
but one song
this is my song of the week
I think I had heard it before
never like
listened to it on purpose
and my sister played it
like as we were driving somewhere
it's called pirate radio with like an asterisk
and i don't know anything about this artist anything else i don't know what the song's about
but it is so like it's just so pretty the song is pirate radio or the song is called pirate radio
it's pretty all caps yeah i I was imagining people mopping the deck
and just singing like an acapella.
You scallywags, and you mop the deck.
Pirate's life is a wonderful life.
The open seas, the old captain,
this is the life for me.
That kind of song.
But I could see that being pretty.
It's quite the opposite, yeah.
But yeah, it's just like a really like beautiful song jean jean john john dawson yeah hello jean I'll never Jean John Dawson? Yeah.
Hello, Jean.
Yeah.
Cool.
All right, we'll play him.
Cool.
That'll be fun.
Hey, we'll play him.
And if the Chiefs win the Super Bowl,
well, which song?
Great Day to Be Alive, Chiefs win the Super Bowl.
No, we gotta do Domino's Day for the Super Bowl.
Maybe a Wednesday episode, Great Day to Be Alive there you go

Biff of the Week
time and start us off
let's do it time
I don't know if I have
oh yeah sorry

Brad start us off
I'll try to think
I almost sold a family heirloom
there I am little boy's bathroom almost just gave it to him katherine uh she yeah
we were like she's like i want this new dresser on facebook marketplace great when bought it
just quickly did it just uh while listening to ben rector yesterday was doing some chores
changed out the drawers put all my new stuff in the new dresser, whatever, blah, blah, blah, and had it out in our garage.
And I was like, let's just get rid of this thing quick.
Let's sell it for cheap.
And so I posted it on Facebook.
It's not a super nice dresser.
And I had basically negotiated a time to meet with this person.
And Catherine, which is on Facebook, she's like, no, no, no, you can't sell it.
That's like my mom's.
That's like a family piece.
And I'm like, I had no idea.
So semi-biff of the week. Yeah. no, you can't sell it. That's like my mom's. We, that's like a family piece. And I'm like, I had no idea.
So semi-biff of the week.
Yeah.
You,
I am my piece 50 cent.
So almost sold it so far,
not selling it,
but I'm like certain things.
It's like,
just cause it's been your family for a long time.
Doesn't mean it's an heirloom.
Yeah.
When does it become like a,
yeah, I'm a hoarder to like,
this is an heirloom.
Sam,
I know you're listening. Sam would say his mom's a hoarder to like, this is an heirloom. Sam, I know you're listening.
Sam would say his mom's
a hoarder's too extreme, but his mom
keeps a lot of stuff. She's a keeper.
Yes, keeper. Yeah. I feel like
hoarder kind of got
overused. Okay.
But then that show came out
with the hoarders and it was like, oh, they're nothing
like that. They just don't
get rid of stuff quickly. Yeah. We can talk about it when we get on the Minimalist podcast. Yeah, oh, they're nothing like that. They just don't get rid of stuff quickly.
Yeah.
We can talk about it when we get on the Minimalist podcast.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Save it for them.
Save it for them.
My bit for the week is we went to some nicer restaurants in Austin.
It was fun and I'm not really used to going to places like this on a regular basis. And things are happening quickly and I'm in a really good conversation, which I want to
talk about more about this on wednesday's episode i think just like i quick sidebar i just didn't shut up asking these yale
guys questions like i never talked to anyone from yale i'm gonna just oh it's like a completely
different part of the country i have no background yeah yeah i have all these ivy league like
you know what am i trying to say whatever. So we're having a really good
conversation. It's the end of the meal and our waiter is coming by with like a little like
credit card reader thing. And I'm last. So I'm trying to get back to the conversation. And so
I'm trying to like type things in and, you know, I saw my card. It's like, would you like to add
tip? Like when we went to the ice restaurant, of course I'd like to add tip. And the suggestions
are three, five or 7%. I was like, well, that's weird. Why would that be? Normally it's the
opposite of what happens. Normally a coffee shop says three, five or $7. Like like well that's weird why would that be normally it's the opposite of what happens normally a coffee shop says three five or seven dollars like well let's pump the
brakes yeah i'm like no other other and then it 20 is on option i have to enter in the dollar
amount so i'm quickly able to do some math i'm like i don't know i'm trying to like still be
part of this conversation doing this and it says all right i put in like whatever amount of money
it says 24 i'm like whatever that's great you amount of money. It says 24%. I'm like, whatever. That's great. You know what?
He earned it.
Who cares?
Do that.
Get done with it.
We're in the car afterwards.
Like,
do you guys think that was weird?
It's three,
five or 7%.
And they're like,
well,
gratuity was included.
Yeah,
that was,
that was on top.
Whoops.
I go,
so I tipped about 40% or so.
At least it was just on yours.
Yeah,
it was just mine.
Yeah. But yeah,, bit for the week.
Really ran up the bill
on this one-way. So I guess I'd already
tipped 20%. And after that
was added to my total, then I tipped another
24% on top of that.
Whoops. I'm not cut
out for places that give you multiple forks.
Outside in.
It's just one fork.
I don't even need to spend one fork maybe a knife
you're just cutting the steak like yeah yeah that's funny um so yeah bit for the week just
tipping way too much at austin okay nice yeah i've been for the week i me and my brother jesse
went to visit our friend graden at red robin where he works and so I'm like I'm not I don't go to sit down
I mean it's not even that fancy Red Robin's not that fancy
but I like they don't tip
they don't add gratuity to this
exactly but so I'm like
I don't have tons of experience but it's like whatever
I go in yeah table for two
he's like two okay doesn't say anything
this like not Graydon this random guy
just walks away I'm like
is he getting here i'm like okay
what is he doing then like like 15 seconds later comes around the corner you can follow me so at
this point i'm like i don't know if that meant that i was supposed to before yeah because he
didn't say anything i'm like okay okay yeah yeah he's right this way or something like that yeah
so we go um over to the table he leads us to that's actually could like is it can we have
great in service because i know he's working whatever and so he's like oh yeah sure he like
then walks away i'm like okay so so is here good so okay so we do we stay is great gonna come to
us or is he and then he and then i like start like kind of like slowly walking toward he turns
around he's like like like motions his head i'm like okay i'll like start following him so then yeah finally we get our seat and whatever but i think like
i feel like i guess maybe that's just like a poultry with this guy yeah yeah i don't know
but that is funny i felt stupid either way so the guy who just assumes everyone's just like a
non-verbal expert like they will know yeah i don't need to say it yeah no indication of to follow him
necessarily and he's not like, anything he's saying
is pretty under his breath and not very
clear. I don't know. It was
funny. It's funny he did it twice. That's just his thing.
Come on, guys.
Hey, come on. Seriously.
Let's go.
That's a good one. Do we have poultry? Do you have
a poultry? Pulch, huh?
Wait, was that your biff or pulch?
Let's call that the biff. Do you want to do a poultry? Pulch, huh? Wait, was that your biff or pulch? Let's call that the
biff.
Do you want to do a
poultry?
I don't know if I have
one.
Okay, we'll do another
time.
Sorry.
No, I didn't have it
written down either, but
then Tymon said poultry
and it's Tymon's show.
All right, how about
a...
I don't have poultry.
Stop.
Stop saying the
poultry thing.
I don't have that.
It's Red Robin.
They serve burger. All right, babe of the week. Stop saying the poultry thing. I don't have that. It's Red Robin. They serve burger.
All right, babe of the week.
Mine, I'll go first.
This one, I've been testing out.
I've been experimenting with this babe for a while.
Experienced her quite a few times.
And just been testing the waters a little bit.
And really got to know her this past week.
Pretty obsessed, to be honest.
Turns out it's my nitro cold brew.
I finally, finally got like it all set up in my house.
And it is awesome.
It is so fun.
I was so much more intimidated by the whole setup than I
needed to be. And so I kept putting it off. Cause I'm like, I don't want to screw up.
And I didn't make it perfect the first time, but the second time I also didn't make it perfect.
So I'm still working on it, still tweaking it, but I am, I'm thinking about it a lot. I'm looking
up YouTube videos on things, you know, different resources for it. And it is energizing me.
Thank you to Main Street Roasters for the beans,
Miller Morning Blend,
medium roast with the, you know,
pretty coarse grounds.
Man, just the smell alone when you're making it
just does wonders for you.
So pretty obsessed with my nitro cold brew right now.
It turns out, yeah, it's in my garage.
It's my nitro cold.
So yeah, it's really fun so anyway that's great my baby the week uh i got to play uh some pickleball with recently she is always down to be
in any video doesn't ask twice is such a supporter of everything I'm doing. Turns out her name is Linda and she's 62 years old.
I met her this past weekend in Austin and she is like the epitome of a
raving fan.
Really?
I mean,
this girl,
I kept calling her our golden goose.
I was like,
boys,
we've got to get Linda on camera.
Like we got to get her.
Like she,
she lives at Dallas.
So she made that hour and a half.
And maybe it's three hours, a three hour drive from Dallas down to Austin yeah yeah it's it's long um just to be with all of us Saturday and uh I think your introduction to us was our Friday

Tymon, you got a babe?

Do you ever just look out the window and just think... She's looking at the same moon.
Where is she?
When will it be my time?
Where are you? Oh. Yeah. When will be my time? Where are you?
One of these weeks.
Mm-hmm.
One of these weeks.
All right.
I got a friend request, speaking of your babes, from someone named Midge.
And I thought, is this that one girl who Brad called Midge?
Maisie?
Yeah.
Not.
Just someone with the name M-I-G-E or something like that.
Interesting.
Midge-o. Midge or something like that. Not you.
Midgell.
Midgell.
Shout out Midge.
All right.
That was Blanks of the Week.
Oh, you want to do a review?
Dang it.
Hey, that's different.
We're doing a new segment now.
It's called Review of the Week.
Let me close out of my shaved sprouts time.
I'll do my review first. Uh, it's
coming from Joshua Carl for, uh, it turned out it's more than just a running podcast. About seven
months ago, I was ramping up for my mileage. I was ramping up my mileage as a runner during my
first marathon training. I needed some more podcasts to listen to while running. So I jumped
in onto Spotify and began scrolling the recommended section. I saw Ghostrunners, then realized,
those are the Gene Shorts guys.
After listening to a few episodes,
I was hooked, dot, dot, dot, and nervous.
You see, two 90-minute episodes per week is a huge commitment.
But then again, so is a marathon.
Good point.
We are the marathon of podcasts.
So I took that leap and subscribed,
thinking it'll be the first to go if I can't keep up.
And boy, was I wrong.
This trio works wonderfully together and listening in is a great way to escape the daily grind.
Not only is it two best friends and timing, having lighthearted conversations about their lives.
Also, anything these guys talk about ends up in an hilarious story or a long string of jokes.
I'm now finished with the marathon and realize I can't let my friends, Jake and Brad and time and go.
So I signed up for more races.
The ghost or his pod is here to stay.
So become a ghosty for free today.
Oh,
that's nice.
Rhyme at the end.
Oh,
you should do our next major roasters poem.
Right?
Uh,
mine is from Sydney.
Shay 32.
This one's short,
but boy,
is it sweet?
My brother-in-law convinced me to start listening while my sister was getting
an epidural.
I've been listening ever since.
Y'all are hilarious.
He told me to write a review if I liked it,
so here I am.
Shout out to Nick.
Nick Ray and epidurals.
That was my review last week.
Great review.
Was it really?
Yeah.
You talked about epidurals last week?
Yeah.
Where was my head at?
I don't know.
Because then we said let him botch
or don't let him botch.
Jeez.
I can't believe I let him botch.
Hey, that was a great one, though.
No, keep it.
Keep it.
Keep it, dude.
You have to signal me when I'm botching like that.
Jake, you ought to pay attention.
Tymon.
No, Jake, you ask Tymon.
Ask him the last question.
Tymon, would you like to end this episode with a jingle?
Heck yeah, I would.
Yeah.
Ryan Guy wrote an
awesome jingle for Tymon, and Tymon
of course went the extra mile
on your own dime, I think.
You're not going to bill us for it.
Just kidding.
Let's do it now.
Hopefully the Chiefs won the Super Bowl. If not,
just know that Jake and I are a little sadder than we
could be right now, but sports aren't
everything, guys.
We love you guys. All right.
So we love you guys.
We'll see you Wednesday.
Enjoy it.
Here's timing.
Prince for me.
My name is timing.
Horse aroma paved the way.
Try to find me here near these silos. Winnie breath, stay loads in the way. Trot by me here near these silos. Winnie breathes day loads and hey. All day
