I had a flight get delayed five and a half hours last week,
but if I hadn't spent all that time in the airport,
I would not have overheard one of my new favorite conspiracy theories.
This is coming from a guy sitting directly behind me,
talking through his AirPods,
and you'll never guess it, talking way too loud.
Uh-oh.
Oh, I would have never thought a guy, you know, in his 60s
would be talking way too loud with Bluetooth headphones, but he was.
And he said, and I quote,
nah, you don't want to buy a Roomba
because it learns your walls
and uploads your blueprint for criminals to break in.
Oh, wow.
I wrote it down verbatim because I didn't want to screw it up.
The Roomba.
It learns your walls
and uploads your blueprint for criminals to break in.
Wow.
Because without the walls, that's the hardest thing for criminals to break in. Wow. Because without the walls,
that's the hardest thing for criminals to figure out.
Because criminals...
I got to get through this window,
but what if there's a wall right in my face
right when I get in?
All the Roomba knows is where your steps are.
Yeah.
Guess what?
Zillow.com can tell you a lot more about...
You can figure out a lot more than that, brother. You can look at the type of lock they have on Zillow.com can tell you a lot more. You can figure out a lot more than
that, brother. You could look at the type of lock they have on Zillow. I mean, you could see like,
oh, there's no deadbolt on this like back basement door. But if you can hack into the Roomba, well,
it sounds like you may not need to hack. The Roomba is doing most of the work. The Roomba is
selling it to the burglars. Like they're in cahoots. And where do you even buy, where do you buy burglar blueprints from?
Gosh,
I love that.
I love the idea of him just like using a skeleton key or like picking a lock of the front door,
you know,
classic we're in.
And then he opens up the door and he's just surrounded by three walls.
He's like,
that's why you shouldn't be pay for room,
but premium.
Gosh dang it.
Uh,
uh,
oh,
ooh, I, ooh, I think this tight beat means that it's going down
with some random thoughts in white.
Me too, Midwest best friends
eating fast food on repeat.
So come along, let's have some fun
and go ahead, get on your feet
because this is Ghost Rubs Podcast.
Everybody morning, we're taking round
Ghost Rubs Podcast.
Ghost Rubs Podcast. That's wild.
Yeah, that was great.
I was like, this makes it all worth it.
Another thing that happened, I think you'll find this enjoyable,
is I was in line because I was like, I've waited five hours,
and I'm still, and I was like Southwest C-27.
I was like, I've waited this long. You know what? I'm paying, uh, and I was like Southwest C 27. It's like, I waited this long. You know,
I'm paying for a upgrade. Yeah. I'm not getting delayed and sitting metal. Yeah. Not today.
And so I'm waiting in line and, uh, it's a long line cause everyone's, you know, dealing with delays. So I'm kind of excited to get up there. I'm like, Hey, I got an easy one
for you. That's even what I said. But before I get up there, you're like trying to be like
the fun guy. Like's a fun one.
I don't have anything to complain about.
Just a simple task.
I think I could have done it for my app now that I'm up here, actually.
Whoopsie-daisy.
But the woman in front of me is getting real hasty, and he's trying to offer her a new flight and yada-yada.
And she was trying to negotiate with him.
She's like, I'll tell you what.
It's her and her husband.
I will take the new flight if you can get us seats together.
And he goes, ma'am, Southwest is open seating.
She's like, all right, I'll take the new flight.
Okay, yeah.
I have no more cards to play.
Whoopsie-daisy.
That's amazing.
Yeah, that was great.
Like, her only leg to stand on.
There was nothing there.
Yeah, I like the idea of, like, yeah, she just doesn't know how it works.
Like, what other situations could you do that on?
Let's see.
I will take your chicken sandwich meal,
but only if I can get a drink.
It's like, yeah.
I will go to the basketball game,
but if it's tied at the end, you have to keep playing.
They can't stop it until one team wins.
That's my, Those are my terms.
I'll come eat your casserole,
but it's not staying in me forever.
You have to find a way for me to poop it out.
I gotta figure out a way to dispose of this thing
one way or the other.
Yeah, that's good.
Hyman, you go.
I haven't been thinking of any. That's a great response. That's good. How many you got? I haven't been thinking of any.
That's a great response.
That's great.
I don't know what I'm going to say,
but I'm going to say it in this cadence,
so it's going to be funny.
I asked for a job doing the video side.
I'm not going to make the jokes.
You hired me for my fingers? Not my jokes.
Not my mouth.
What are we even?
What?
Great start.
Going to be a good episode.
Yeah, man.
So you were delayed five and a half hours.
I think it was all said and done.
Yeah, delayed five hours or something.
This is to leave Kid to City.
So this is...
Oh, you were in town.
Yeah.
So part of it was kind of nice.
Woke up at
545 and see the flight's delayed. Well, I shouldn't say nice because then you go into hectic panic
mode. Like, all right, what are, you know, problem solving? What are options we have? What options
do we have at Southwest? We're on Delta, you know, all this stuff. How do we get to New York City?
And well, the plan... So this is the problem is even our original flight just got us to Philadelphia
and then we were taking a two-hour train to Wilmington, Delaware.
Ah, you got to take the bus next time.
It's not an easy...
You got to go see a URB.
You got to go Airbus.
Okay.
So then it becomes like, we have so many options
because there's not really a Wilmington airport.
So it's like, we could fly to Boston.
We could fly to New York City.
Well, there's multiple New York City airports.
We could fly to Philadelphia.
We fly to DC.
Well, DC has two airports. So it's me, Isaac to Philadelphia. We could fly to D.C. Well, D.C. has two airports.
So it's me, Isaac, and Trey all just like at six in the morning, like texting, like
who's got ideas.
Okay.
Eventually.
Why at 545 do they already know it's going to be delayed five hours?
Well, I don't know if you remember last Wednesday morning, but we had like a six hour long thunderstorm.
Basically, it was when it stormed all morning long here.
I don't remember that very well,
but I mean,
I do.
You kind of slurred your word.
I don't remember.
I tell you what,
man,
I spent one of your gone daddy parts.
So anytime you're gone,
I'm like,
I don't know what day is what I'm waking up about one,
2 PM.
So I'm right.
Instant.
Yeah.
Help me sleep. So, okay. So it was, 2 p.m., so I probably missed it. Yeah. Help me sleep.
Okay, so it was just bad storms.
It was just the storms here locally.
Just no planes were leaving.
So that's why it was delayed.
Dude, my friend who's a weatherman is bringing up that it's going to be pretty bad the next couple days.
And we're supposed to be flying into Gulf Shores.
We're driving, baby.
Oh!
What an adventure, dude. We're driving, baby. Oh! What an adventure, dude.
Me, you, Todd.
Oh.
Me.
Eyes.
Oh, no.
Late.
Rachel.
No.
No.
Catherine.
Oh.
Me, you.
Oh.
No.
Jensen could meet us.
Yeah.
Jensen's a maybe.
Jensen's a maybe.
Yeah, we could if need be. Yeah. But that would add some stress. I tell you what. So I don if need be yeah but that would add some stress i tell you i don't need b i don't
want b i don't want b but i i can't if need be that's a fun thing to start saying like i can't
i can't have have b but i don't want b no worries either way b but I'd prefer not be. Can't even eat beef. Oh, man.
Okay, so you were delayed big time.
Yeah, and part of it, so Isaac, unfortunately, like, how did it go?
I think he, like, didn't see our text.
So he got halfway here when he learned that we were delayed.
So he's like, well, I'm going to still drive up anyway.
This solves a mystery.
Every once in a while, there's neighbor mysteries.
Yeah, last week was the case of the mysterious suspenders, man. I was like, uh, so I look out my window,
there's Isaac's truck and then there's both yours and Rachel's car. I think, uh, it's not well
documented, but I think you guys like your car more than Rachel's correct. And so I was like,
interesting. I guess they took an Uber to the airport for whatever reason. Rachel wants to keep Jake's car. Why, why'd they do that? I'm developing some astigmatism.
I like to drive in the rain. Yeah, exactly. Like it's, it's a little bit worried. Yeah.
Worrisome in the rain. And so I was like, interesting. I wonder why this time, cause
like Jake's gone a lot and he brings his car all the time. Then I saw in a couple hours
later or cars gone. Yeah. Tesla it's ala tesla's gone it's the cheap one guys
it's like it's like crap
i mean oh i don't even have heated seats in the back that's a funny uh character we could do like
the guy who just like downplays maybe yeah it's like i'm the one trying to downplay you know a
real thing like guys you know come see my new house it's nothing it's like i'm the one trying to downplay you know a real thing like guys you
know come see my new house it's nothing it's nothing and then you come in this place sucks
like it is not familiar with how these like jokes go right like hey come on yeah you don't
understand i could say it but uh you can't don't say it like that that's kind of funny
solve that mystery for me yeah so isaac evici just like uh he took a nap on our couch we all
kind of woke up together around eight, 9 a.m. again.
And then Rachel made us acai bowls.
We just hung out for a little bit.
And then we got to the airport and then got delayed another hour or two.
Saw Josie Truitt.
Oh, fun.
She's going to my old church, I think.
Is she?
I think so.
Need be?
She won't be or what?
She has be.
Presby.
Presbyterian.
It's actually, I'm trying to think.
Presby.
Presby.
No.
Presby.
But it was kind of a fun time because this is, it's very important for Trey to get there.
Because at this point in the delay, it's like Isaac and I, I mean, we may get there.
We may not.
Trey was smart enough.
He booked two flights.
So he's got options.
And, you know, Trey doesn't tell us this,
but I'm familiar enough with the business
to kind of know like it's very important
that Trey gets there.
He's the headliner.
He's the one that sells tickets.
You know, it's pretty understandable
like why he should be.
Yeah, like I don't think I or Isaac need to be there.
But like people would be like bummed if you're gone.
Yes.
Bummed if they didn't have merch as quickly.
They would say,
I want my money back
if Trey Kennedy's not there.
Yeah, yeah.
It's a problem
for a lot of different people
if Trey's there.
So what happens is
Isaac and I become soldiers for Trey.
It felt like I was texting.
So we're all texting
because we're in different parts of the airport.
And I said,
this feels like the season finale of The Amazing Race because we're all like doing whatever it takes. So Trey, it felt like I was texting. So we're all texting because we're in different parts of the airport. And I said, this feels like the season finale of The Amazing Race
because we're all like doing whatever it takes.
So Trey's got like a United flight that's boarding soon
and also our Southwest flight that says it's boarding soon.
But we can't trust it.
Like we don't know.
It's still storming.
And so just a lot of texting and a lot of like checking flightaware.com.
Okay.
I don't know about that.
Just like these different websites. Trey was like, I'm kind of geeking out. I've been kind of like enjoying flightaware.com. Okay, I don't know about that. Just like these different websites.
Trey was like, I'm kind of geeking out.
I've been kind of like enjoying getting into planes today.
Like I think I was like, I might be on the spectrum.
I'm like loving planes today.
I just watch them fly out of here all day.
Yeah.
I'm like starting to notice different kinds of planes
that I'm just like obsessed with.
He's like, our one from LA lands at 1245.
So will you guys tell me if you see that plane land?
You know, we're like doing all this stuff.
And anyway, it was fun. So yeah, we're just all texting trying to help him make the right decision. Isaac kind of like time. And also just now it's just like, I think you should
do this, but I really don't want to be held responsible. So I don't forget. I said anything
that would be a tough thing to be like, here's what I mean. It looks like the lines. It looks
like they're boarding. They haven't boarded for Cleveland yet out of the gate we're going to,
so I think you have time,
but dude, I don't want to be responsible,
so you hired me to sell merch,
so I don't think I should make these decisions.
And I don't even have to do that
if you don't want me to.
I'll just go home.
Did you also consequently look at the weather
in the connecting cities?
Yeah, everything was fine.
Kansas City was just the problem.
Really?
It's me.
Hi.
I'm the problem. It's Kansas City i'm the problem it's kc yeah
taylor swift time and she's secular yeah yeah welcome to the tortured podcast club
did i nail that you know but we discussed we were going to call our little podcast yeah
the tortured podcasters department department yeah i was at McLean's the other day,
and there was some new blend,
and it was like the Tortured Coffee,
or Tortured something,
and I was like, cool.
I don't know.
I'll try it.
I don't know.
Don't torture me.
It was classic, like,
Brad is a dad who doesn't know what's going on,
because then later that day, I saw,
oh, that's what it is.
Oh, okay.
Okay, Fortnite, Fortnite.
Post Malone, got it.
Now that I think about it, I think your new album is great, like coffee shop music.
Is it?
Thoughts, Tymon?
I haven't listened to it.
Oh, yeah, second.
But I heard it's not a lot of like pop hits.
Yeah, it's not like top 40 music.
Yeah.
Which if you're a shallow, like I'm a fan.
I like music like Mouse in the House and stuff like that,
so I wanted a big top 40 song.
Can you imagine if Taylor Swift someday...
We get so big and Taylor gets so small
that she's covering Mouse in the House?
I can imagine it, yeah.
That'd be amazing.
I see that happening.
Her and Travis?
Once she gets small enough.
Once she declines in popularity enough.
Once she shrinks.
Honey, I shrunk the swifts anyway um what's up with you oh um i've been working on woodworking for
i've been working on the wood shop chop all the time shakes Oh, the thunderstorm long.
Yeah, Tymon's friend.
Kelly's?
Yeah.
Nice.
Dude, is it like a – how many kids do they – they have a big family?
Yeah.
I think it's just like a requirement.
Like if Tymon's friends with somebody, they have to have a big family. And so like this table is beyond big.
What's – like it's exceedingly large.
That doesn't surprise me at all. Yeah, they just like – not like not only they have a big family but they just always have people at their
house yeah they really like to eat that doesn't surprise these people they know where casseroles
get out um so i mean it's literally like the biggest table i've ever built that's awesome
like i had to like call multiple lumber companies to find wood long enough for this table.
Wow.
Yeah.
You just got to call them, hey, what's your longest wood?
Yeah.
Because they wanted a specific style.
And I was like, you got 14-foot maple?
And they're like, no one ever asked for 14-foot maple.
What are you, building an ark?
I'm like, I don't know.
So yeah, anyway.
14 foot does seem like a ton.
I mean, that's how long the table is?
14 feet? Dude, yeah. You can't build that in your shop. You have to wait for a ton. I mean, that's how long the table is? 14 feet?
Dude, yeah.
You can't build that in your shop.
You have to wait for clear skies to build this, don't you?
Dude, that's one of my wins of the week
is like the weather has coordinated with me perfectly.
It would fit in my shop.
My shop's probably 20 feet deep.
You're becoming like a farmer.
We're like, you can only do your business
if the weather permits.
Like I bet eight times a day I've asked S-i-r-i if it's going to rain
syria yeah oh cool s-i-r-i syria yeah just he gets he gets this little joke just a little joke
hey time we're just joking around but i've asked i've so many times i'm just like hey is it gonna
rain because i'm just so i don't i don't trust the weather app from hour to hour.
See, I wouldn't trust SIRI.
What I trust is looking at the radar.
I like to be my own meteorologist.
And then I have a friend who's a weatherman.
And so I'm like, oh, bringing this up again.
We get it.
Hey, man, we get it.
You rub shoulders with really cool people.
Got it.
Gosh.
Anyway, but yeah, it's been the perfect weather to where I've literally kept the tabletop outside under a tarp like overnight because it hasn't been dewy it hasn't been hot
enough to be dewy hasn't been cold enough to like be dangerous it's just been like perfect like 55
60 degrees at night where do you want the dewy decimal system to keep wood outside i don't know
but i just i could just tell like at night at night because i've been working on it late in
the night i'm like it's not dewy it's like 60 degrees out here, not dewy.
So I just, I'm like, I'm fine without the dew. Uh, it sprinkled yesterday. I had to talk about
dews, baby. We're talking dews, baby. Um, I mean, it is, it's probably going to hold 20 plus people.
I mean, it's just huge and very heavy. And I've been monstering it around by
myself, which is no fun. Yeah. But it's one of those things where you just like, like,
I don't really know the, um, science behind it too much, but I pretend like I do with Hattie
for like homeschool purposes. I'm like, Hattie, this is, yeah, this is the beauty of wheels.
And so I like kind of put it on one side and like shimmy it around and stuff. And, um, I asked Scott to come over and, uh, help me. He was not in the area. So he's like,
can't do it, Poppy. So I just poppied it myself. I always ask Rachel.
She works out all the time. Yeah. I was going to have Catherine Rachel on one side,
me on the other. And then I figured out a way to just shimmy it.
You're like the ancient Egyptians. It's like, it doesn't exactly like the ancient.
Yeah. People will wonder how you did what you did with this long, huge
table. Yeah. Like, did he would see him do it? No, I never saw. How did he, I mean, it doesn't
make sense. Yeah. How did he do it? I took it to this guy, Lester. We talked about Lester on the
podcast before to help me sand it down. He's got this massive industrial sander. First of all,
Lester was not happy to see me with this thing. He was like, he was, he was like, he's like the nicest guy ever. And he was not in a good mood,
moving this thing around for me. I'm like, I'm sorry. What'd he say? Nothing. He just,
you could just, I just know him well enough to be like, he does not like that. I'm doing this to
him. I award them anyway. And we put it back in the, I had to rent a trailer to get this thing
around. And he's like, how are you going to get that thing out of the trailer? And just kind of like happy-go-lucky. I'm like, I'll figure it out. He's
like, you need to have somebody else do that with you. You're going to hurt your back. You're going
to regret this. And it was one of those things where I was like, I'm feeling uncomfortable
right now, but I'm going to, oh, okay. Oh yeah, for sure. I was going to get somebody to help.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You'll be around, right? Lesty. He's like, you need to have somebody help me. But
anyway, it's been really fun working with my hands. I haven't been doing much woodworking lately.
Um, and yeah, I mean, my hands are sore. Like I have like cuts on them, but it just feels good
to be outside. It's been a beautiful day. You stopped playing guitar. You lost your callousy.
Yeah. Um, kids have been outside with me, which is like, that's probably the best part about it.
It's just like, I get to see them a lot more.
And so I've been listening to a lot of Forrest Frank,
just dancing around.
I bet if someone drove by,
they'd be like,
that guy's possessed.
Like,
I just like,
like I was,
I'm literally just like grooving around my driveway.
Golden's a good one.
That's so good,
but that's a good one.
Yeah.
I haven't listened to that one yet.
Oh,
I love it.
Do you love the,
I love the trumpets in it.
Who does?
I love trumpets it's
it's a nice vibe i like brass and pretty much anything really the zoo okay new york music
i love some like french horns like toady fry horns yeah okay horns or not no no no
um sorry um yeah anyway so yeah that's been the main thing is just uh
doing a lot of woodworking trying to get that done before we go to gulf shores
so i'm on my last little bit of that yeah when you're listening to this we're in gulf shores now
yeah follow along on instagram if you want to feel sad about not being there totally i'd say
yeah do that and then next week you'll hear our episodes um with all of our fans in the house oh Instagram. If you want to feel sad about not being there. Totally. I'd say that. Yeah. Do that. And
then next week you'll hear our episodes, um, with all of our fans in the house. I'm excited at the
Pearl. I think I would like to, uh, like just what about this for a segment with them? We can,
we can workshop it right now. Uh, just have them come up and say, here's what I want to talk about.
Like any subject, like what, what if, what if they're really passionate about some subject that we don't know? And we can just ask them
questions like, like Brandon Faulkner is a big computer guy. And like, what if he just wants to
talk computers with us? We'll just talk to anybody about anything. You know what I mean? Like just
come up, you get a mic and you were like, I would like to talk about this today. And it's like,
okay, great. Let's talk about it. Uh, and we just ask him questions and we just get into it.
It's kind of fun. It's like those things you see at college campuses. They set okay, great. Let's talk about it. And we just ask them questions and we just get into it. It's kind of funny.
It's like those things you see at college campuses.
They set up a table.
It's like, debate me on anything or whatever.
Yeah, prove me wrong.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's like we set up a table that says,
I'll ask you questions about whatever you're into.
Yeah, we'll figure out a way to say it.
We'll make it fun.
Yeah, I like that.
Okay.
That's neato.
So if you're listening to this on the vacation or-
Come hang out with us.
Or session two.
Yeah, or session two.
Just let us know what you think.
Have some things in mind.
I'm excited about that. I'm also a little bit I don't know if guilty is the right
feeling guilty, but I just feel bad
for leaving Catherine and the kids.
I bet.
Henry's still not being the easiest baby
and so there have been a few nights where it's just been
tough for us.
Catherine's mom's coming up. My parents are helping
out. That's really nice. We got some plans.
I'm very pumped
about it, and I'm going to listen to Golden by
Surfaces a lot. A lot.
A bunch.
That's fun.
Alright, I'm trying to decide.
I'm going to tell this story quickly.
I thought this might need to be a Diomedes story
where we have cliffhangers,
but I think I can just.
Also, don't worry about being too quick.
I think.
I always worry about being too quick.
I know you do.
And I think,
I think sometimes it's like,
hey, listen,
people,
people listen to us for an hour and a half.
They'll listen to us for hour 45.
I guarantee you.
You know what I mean?
Like,
just,
just tell us the story.
I can't help it.
I just, I just feel like attention is always fleeting.
Like, I have to keep it.
I have to talk faster.
So Trey ends up, this is the same day, last Wednesday, boarding the United flight.
Okay.
Do you demand to sit by Katie?
Katie was nowhere to be found.
She was at home.
So Trey boards it.
We're cheering him on.
We're all texting.
This is so electric, dude.
This is so fun.
Yeah, come on.
Go get him.
You made the right choice.
You got this.
We'll see you later.
And he's like, good luck, brother.
I'll see you in Wellington.
See you on the other side, brother.
Because by the time we went to maybe book the United flight,
it was like $950 one way.
So we're like, we're not important.
Don't pay for this.
Like, we'll just try it and risk it.
So another hour goes by.
We get on the Southwest flight.
Wasn't able to upgrade.
I'm in the back, little middle seat, you know, C27.
And I'm just getting settled in.
You know, I'm going to have a nice,
got a little OJJ. Simpson documentary.
It's made in America.
It's on Netflix now.
ESPN one.
Yeah, yeah.
Catherine's been watching it.
Good for her.
Not me.
Dude, something about this,
I meant to text you and Luke Crenshaw.
Remember our favorite line from the show?
They took it out?
I think they dubbed over it,
so say the line.
You say the line.
O.J.
O.J.'s dad is gay man shut up yeah this guy this this old
friend of oj simpson's from back in the day childhood friend just like it sounds like he
screamed for eight years straight and so he has no voice left over yeah he's telling this story OJ, did you know OJ's dad is gay?
Man, shut up.
So maybe he says that similarly again somewhere else in the documentary,
but I watched the tail end of episode one or whatever,
and he said, did you know OJ's dad is a punk?
No way.
They change it to is a punk,
and this is the exact time they're talking about,
yeah, I walked in on him, he opened the door. No, that's definitely it. Yeah, and this is the exact time they're talking about yeah i walked in
on him he opened the door no that's definitely it yeah like this is the time a punk i i rerouted
two or three times like am i going crazy he used to say gay now he says punk whoa dude so how did
they do that i think like ai deep fake types of they make his lips look like he's saying punk
like but i know we had an inside joke about it like it doesn't it's not like one of those like vid angel things yes is uh yeah it looked like he said the word punk
and i turned on subtitles like maybe the airpods aren't working yeah whoa conspiracy yeah well it's
also on espn the that doc okay we should go compare i also don't know why what why can't they just say
it's not like he said like the yeah yeah yeah the other one right like right dude
you can't cool yeah easy we've got a couple n-word sly are you wow that's
wild interesting so you're you're in the back So I'm watching that. I'm not going to do it very long, guys. It's going to be a short story. Oh, you want the long version?
All right.
We're going to get off track.
Or Thal James Simpson.
Born.
Okay.
So I am watching this documentary, and I swear I hear my name.
And so I take out an AirPod, and they say, Jacob Triplett?
Is there a Jacob Triplett on board?
I'm like, whoa.
Never had my name called out while on the flight.
So that's another thing.
I didn't think to hit the button.
I've never hit the button.
So I'm like, how do I get their attention?
I'm just like looking,
like trying to get someone's attention.
You're in the very back.
And they're like,
not totally in the back,
kind of just like in the no man's land,
kind of just in the middle, middle seat.
And then they're like,
is there a Thomas Kennedy on board?
It's like,
what did we do with happening?
And maybe they would just want to like celebrate us,
say they're going to a show tonight.
You're going to make it.
Are we trending?
Yeah.
Why are they saying our name?
Is Twitter going nuts?
And,
uh,
so they asked over time,
if there's a Jake triple on on board we need you to hit your
your call button and several rows behind me i can hear josie laughing so like she was on her flight
yeah it's all like wow josie uh is paying attention so i hit the button i'm starting
to get nervous i'm like what am i in trouble for it's like a call to the principal and a flight
comes over and she says uh is thomas on this flight and i'm like oh call to the principal and a flight check comes over and she says, uh,
is Thomas on this flight?
And I'm like,
Oh,
this is the problem I think.
And so I was like,
honest with her.
I was like,
no,
he's not.
Um,
cause of the delays,
he took another flight and she said,
well,
we're going to need to remove you from the flight.
Whoa.
And,
uh,
my first response was like,
Oh,
this is like those videos that go viral.
I kind of said that to her and she kind of laughed. Um, cause the only time you ever see people get removed from a flight, they're like causing a scene. Yeah. You was like, oh, this is like those videos that go viral. I kind of said that to her, and she kind of laughed.
Because the only time you ever see people get removed from a flight,
they're like causing a scene.
Yeah, you're like, shake my hand.
Shake my hand.
You seen that guy?
No, I haven't seen shake my hand.
I've seen that one.
Yeah, I don't know if he's like, I don't know the situation,
but he's like yelling at these Asian people,
and he's like, I'll leave once they shake my hand.
It's like a weird response.
He's just screaming at them. I mean, they look terrified. Shake my hand. Yeah, I want to shake my hand it's like oh yeah weird response he's just screaming at him
i mean they look terrified shake my hand yeah i want to shake my hand yeah it's weird um yeah i
think people always go viral for being removed from planes acting a fool and i was just like
probably the most polite flight removal of all time it was a boeing 737 max so i was like please
get me off of here i i would love to get off this plane. And, uh,
so I was like, do I need to take my bags? And she's like, yeah, you need to take your bags.
I was like, am I not coming back? She's like, you're not coming back. I was like, oh my gosh.
And she's like, yeah, I I'm actually kind of new here, but you're Thomas is your companion.
And so if he's not on, you can't fly without him. So I was like, oh, okay. And so I was like,
I really need to, I'm sure you hear this all the
time but i really like to make this flight because if we didn't make this one there's
we for sure we're not going to make it it was like one of the last flights to get us there on time
okay and so yeah just get like kicked off the plane it was kind of embarrassing i just have
to get all my stuff and it's we're having a conversation it's very polite conversation
but still just like everyone's hearing it.
Everyone's taking their headphones out.
No one's recording me.
Thankfully, but yeah.
Um, and we're just watching it.
You just scoot past the guy that you just scooted in to get into the middle.
Yeah.
I got to apologize.
I got to get all my bags and I opened the wrong thing.
Oh, sorry.
I thought it was in this one.
That is, oh, that's rough.
When they're all closed.
I mean, you don't know where you put your stuff.
They all look the same. That's what's so nice about being in the window is that somebody usually opens it for you. Yeah, that's rough. When they're all closed, I mean, you don't know where you put your stuff. They all look the same.
That's what's so nice about being in the window is that somebody usually opens it for you.
Yeah, that is nice.
I don't have to make those decisions.
And so I just have to walk down 25 aisles of the plane and just, yeah, getting booted off with my bags.
I love you guys.
Getting booed.
Getting booed.
Boo!
He's just the opener.
We've already waited five and a half hours.
Whoa, dude.
And so then I kind of like hustled to the gate agent.
And so I'm like, hey, can I pay for a ticket for that flight right now?
His situation.
And he's like, here's what we're going to do.
We're going to book you on a flight tonight.
And then I'm going to use that ticket to get you on standby
and move you to the front of standby because that ticket is cheaper. I was like, okay, all right. Yeah, sure.
Whatever. That's, that's a good of him. Nice. Yeah. He seemed,
he was stern, but he was efficient. And I was like, great. That,
that sounds awesome. Um, and he was like, normally we would never do this,
but since the flight's already delayed,
we're going to hold the plane until we get this figured out. So I was like,
Oh my gosh, really? That's awesome. Oh, he's like, if the plane was on time, we would just leave without. So I was like, oh my gosh. Really? That's awesome. Oh, wow. He's like, if the plane was on time,
we would just leave without you.
I was like, that's fair, I guess.
I didn't know the rules.
I got it.
But then this guy starts to get real upset.
He's like, so Thomas isn't on this flight.
I said, no, he's not.
He's like, well, he checked a bag,
which Trey communicated with us like,
hey, get my baggage claim.
Oh, boy.
And so I was like, oh, did he?
Well, how about I just pick it up for him?
And he's like, well, if he's not flying, we can't travel with his bag. And I'm like, oh, did he? Well, how about I just pick it up for him? And he's like, well, if he's not flying, we can't travel with his bag.
And I'm like, oh, man, now Trey, he's going to get there.
He's not going to have his bag now.
And so then I was like, well, what's going to happen?
He's like, well, I'm going to call down.
We're going to have to remove it.
And so I was like, well, what's going to happen then?
He's like, it'll be in baggage something, you know, here.
Yeah, purgatory.
He said something else later in the conversation that made me think there was like a 50-50 chance,
something like, yeah, I mean, we'll see if his bag makes it.
So I was like, oh, so there's a chance this could happen.
So I ended up getting back on the plane.
The flight attendants were very surprised to see me.
Really?
I think they were just like,
we've never seen someone get kicked off
and come back on seven minutes later.
And maybe there was like,
no one's ever voluntarily come back on a Boeing 737.
Like usually once you leave, you are done and you never come back here and so i get back on and i
feel like there were a bunch of people like surprised to see me as well i was like i made it
yeah and um yeah were people talking to you and stuff yeah they're like you're back and i was
like i'm not a criminal and uh i'm a good guy it was Yeah. And of course, Isaac, when we landed, eventually had no idea I'd been kicked off or returned
to the flight.
He just locked in on his phone.
Had no idea.
This OJ Simpson documentary is wild.
I don't know what he was watching.
Yeah.
Really?
He literally like was not like, why are we moving from this?
Yeah.
Yeah.
I had no idea.
Oh, man.
When we eventually landed, where was that flight oh we flew to
washington dc one of the flight attendants was like all right glad you made it we're kind of
joking around as i'm leaving the plane she's like next time just don't say you're on board
kind of joking but also like kind of like life hack just pretend you're not there i was like oh
my gosh you're right i should have just never hit the button but at the same time it felt like they
knew i scanned in, right?
Yeah, I was going to say-
And they knew Thomas Trey didn't scan in.
Yeah.
Code.
We're talking code.
Type.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I would not do that.
That to me seems-
It seems like-
That's when you get arrested.
Yeah, because you lied.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So I was like, yeah, maybe.
And then you're going to have that same issue in DC.
Yes. You know? Wow. So that's what she- She what she was like next time just don't say you're on board next time just get
thomas's boarding pass yes right right that's what we should and trey should have screenshotted it i
should have been thomas but i guess i kind of understand but like to me it's like hey you got
a ticket either way who cares if you're the companion and he's not there or not it was
paid for yeah we didn't...
I don't think this is like a loophole. Yeah, he still
had to pay for his ticket either way. Yeah.
I don't know. Whatever.
That's crazy.
So we land
in D.C. I think we landed at
5.30
and Tom, tour manager Tom, had
booked us a train to depart
from like Washington Union Station at 6.30.
Okay.
This is the last train that will get us to the venue on time.
Okay.
It's like a two-hour train ride
to get us to Wilmington, Delaware.
And this is one of the very rare,
we've had less than five,
the whole tour at 8 p.m. shows.
So we're working out perfect serendipity.
Yeah.
So this is great.
I guess it wouldn't have been a two-hour train that wouldn't made sense well you start the show a little bit late i don't know
yeah it must have been slightly less than two hours bullet train it was an express one there
were like very few stops so yeah maybe it was going to get us there right in time um so we
land at 5 30 so tom's like 6 30 train he can make it like surely we can make it. And it's a long walk
to baggage claim. I'm hustling. Of course, baggage claim gets stopped, uh, recognized. Oh, well,
of course I can't just be like, I gotta go, man. So we're talking, take a selfie. And I'm like,
man, I really gotta go. That's tough. Cause like, at least you got baggage claim, like buffer,
you know? Yeah. Yeah. At least it's like, yeah, I can talk to you for a second because I'm sure
that my bags aren't going to come out right away. Yeah, it wasn't the
worst thing. That's tough
though. So we go there and
one of the first bags to come out is Trey's bags.
Like, oh my gosh, it made it.
This is awesome. We had no idea.
One of the next first bags that comes out is
Isaac's check bags. Like, this is great,
dude. We're going to get out of here in no time. And then
five minutes goes by. Probably close
to 10 minutes goes by. My bag still hasn't come out yet we start to think oh no did they remove when
i got kicked off the plane did they remove my bag because i didn't sure you know they didn't expect
me to get back on like oh my gosh well how do we know if my should we just keep waiting or is it
gone like how do we find out where my bag is yeah because we need to make this train ride pretty
quickly yeah it's a 20 minute Uber to the
train station. Oh, the train station is not in the
airport. Not in the airport. So time is
crunching down.
Dude. Well, first of all, can you
tell, justify your checked bag?
Why? I feel like a season's
travel seasons, season travelers
just carry on.
Well, I was going to be gone six days.
So it's like, okay, I need a bigger bag.
Yeah, New York, I mean, the high most days is like 48 degrees.
So there's some layers in there.
Okay, okay, okay.
I didn't know if it was like, yeah.
Because Trey's checking, might as well check mine.
And when we got to the airport at noon
or whatever, we didn't think
there'd be another hour or two of delays.
We thought we were going to be fine. It was southwest.
We're like, yeah, might as well check. Whatever.
So, we... You're trying to figure this out like is it to the point where like no one is there anymore uh yeah it's starting to get pretty slim so i start to go to like i go
to like the baggage like help area yeah i'm asking like here's my id here's my whatever can you see
if it's on the plane and she's looking at it i was like i got removed from the flight then i got
back on it
so we're afraid it may be that my bag got pulled does that normally happen and while we're figuring
it out isaac comes in he's like dude got your bag so i was like see ya yeah so we hop out of there
we call uh we try to call an uber to get us to the train station we're waiting we're waiting
that uber just like cancels on us like oh man of course of course another uber comes by does one
loop around it goes didn't see you guys.
Like, oh, my gosh.
Does another loop around.
Finally, we get in the Uber.
We're like, hey, we're in a big hurry.
Train station.
Trying to go right now.
Fun.
It's 25 minutes away.
Talk about the second leg of the amazing race.
Yeah, this was like big, amazing race, folks.
Yeah, yeah.
And we get in this Uber, and our ETA to the train station says like 633.
Okay.
Tom text says, hey hey there is one other
train at 635 i'm gonna rebook you on that one wow tom is in sharp still i'm just like i've never
boarded a train like how quick is the boarding process like do you check bag where does the
where's my suitcase go i don't know what a passenger train looks like sure it's like but
we'll try and we're starting to see the eta go down a little bit 632 631 every every green light you're pumped about yes yeah um yeah it's just stressful like if we
don't make the 635 train we don't make the show we make it to the train station at 630 okay we
hop out 633 yeah yeah we hop out kind of far away because it's starting to get real congested once
you get close like this is good enough this is good enough we hop out kind of far away. Cause it's starting to get real congested. Once you get close, like this is good enough. This is good enough. We hop out and we start sprinting
through Washington, DC, trying to get to a train station. I felt like a founding father, you know,
he's like, this is great. That's what they're known for is sprinting to DC just through our
nation's Capitol. And it's yeah. Well, it kind of was beautiful. It's like, there's a Capitol,
but why? We got to go. We got to go. We get into this train beautiful. It's like, there's a capital, but why? Watch your mind. Forget it. We gotta go.
Forget it.
We get into this train station,
and it's like Union Station, but times 10.
It's huge.
It's gorgeous.
Yeah.
I even, we're sprinting through.
I was like, this feels like the Amazing Race,
how they can't take in the beauty
because they have to go.
I love how you're, yeah,
you're externally like processing it.
Like, this is amazing.
We gotta come back and see this.
Shut up and run!
Go!
Isaac was laughing.
He's like, dude, come on.
I was like, this is so like it.
This is crazy.
Have you taken a train like this in the United States?
Yes, but not very often because it's very rare in the Midwest.
People travel by train.
Of course, Lucas, hours later, is making fun of me for how he's like,
this is so common here in the Northeast.
Let's make fun of you for not knowing things's like this is so common here all right in the northeast let's make fun of
you for not knowing things about that we know not saying hope it was chaos in there i couldn't
believe how many people take trains this is what lucas was making fun of me for i was like i didn't
know people i thought this is like crazy circumstances you have to take a train this
is like from the 1940s yeah it's like because this is different than a subway this is like a
long train ride crossing state lines.
I don't know.
I just didn't think this would be that popular.
You need passports to do that, I thought.
Yeah, maybe.
So where am I?
I added my notes.
This all happened seven days ago.
So you're sprinting.
Was it hard to find the train?
Dude, there is no signage in these train stations.
And the lines are so long.
So we're trying to ask people, like, what are you in line for?
What are you?
I don't see a single word that says Wilmington.
I don't know.
Nothing says the train we need to go to.
There's all these gates where there's no one in line.
It seems like everyone's at the same gate.
It's just hysteria in there.
And we don't know.
I mean, we just look like such tourists.
We don't know what's going on.
And you are.
I mean, to an extent.
We really are.
I mean, people are trying to help us.
You know, me and Isaac are like, could this be everyone going to willington sure there's not this people people going to
willington delaware this lady walks by goes oh there are like okay hey i don't know no no yeah
no offense and eventually we just like we missed the train i don't know when it took off or where
it left from but we weren't gonna to make it either way, I think.
Just like it was.
There's just a huge line to get in or whatever.
I think we already missed it.
These people were already, like it had already boarded.
It was maybe like sealed up going by the time we got to the gates.
Dang, dude.
So we have to send in the text just like,
we're not going to make it.
Hey, Lucas, get to do more time tonight.
We'll see you guys whenever we see you. We don't what we're gonna do now the next train whatever i wonder how
much an uber would it cost so we'll get there okay it's our train but now we get to explore
the washington union station this place is pretty grimy in certain parts but like in the food court
area but they have a food court okay they got a got a little Chick-fil-A. They got a little Chipotle down there.
Jersey Mike's.
Some halal food
down there. Dude, you ever tried it?
Nope. You would like it. Would I?
I don't know. You should like it.
It's good. Okay. You like hummus?
It's fine. It's not bad.
All right. Go ahead.
What'd you go with?
I decided to go with Chipotle.
I was like, we look up train cost times and Uber.
And Uber makes more sense at this point.
Because now we don't need to get there by a certain time.
So it's going to take longer, but it's cheaper.
And we get to split it.
Okay.
I was like, I'm going to get my Chipotle.
And then to kind of maximize our time, I will, uh, I'll
call an Uber and I'll eat the Chipotle on the way. And we, uh, we kind of realized like, oh yeah,
we're asking an Uber driver to drive us over two hours to Delaware. This might be a pretty big ask.
I don't actually know if this is going to work out. Right. The very first one we call, he accepts
the ride and we're just waiting for him to cancel it. Like he's going to realize any second, a couple minutes go by, has it canceled? Like, all right, let's go. Let's go
back out front. That's when I get a phone call. He's like, Hey, I, uh, I accepted this without
really looking. Where are we going? I was like, yeah, figuring I'd get this call. We're going to
Wilmington, Delaware. He's like, Ooh, well, I've never been up there. I don't know. That's a long
way though. Why don't I, um, why don't you guys just come out front
and we'll just kind of meet face to face.
So I think he was wanting to kind of like size this up.
Like, are these guys normal?
I'm about to spend two hours with these guys.
Sure, yeah.
It's fair.
So we want to meet us face to face.
And eventually, I guess we just kind of win him over.
And he's like, you know what?
Let's do it.
I called Uber and made sure it was okay with them. I my wife she's gonna take care of the kids tonight oh gosh oh
gosh oh you got kids dude um yeah yeah yeah i mean i mean we're divorced but like so i get him like
one night a week but no it's fine it's fine you guys seem like good guys you guys are awesome
you're from out of town and so then but even though he's
accepting it's very hesitantly it's like so yeah yeah we could let's let's go to delaware it's like
i i hope you want to do this i don't know it doesn't feel like you do all right let's let's go
and then he sees me come in with the chipotle and we start to drive off. And he's like, oh, one thing, no eating in the car.
And I was like, you know what?
You're driving us to Delaware.
I don't have to eat.
You know, it's been a long day.
I was really looking forward to this Chipotle.
But whatever.
All I've had is the acai bowl in the morning.
But wow, you're driving us Delaware.
All good.
He's like, you sure?
You sure you don't want to eat?
I mean, you can just call another Uber.
I bet another Uber will let you eat. And so I was like, he's like, you sure? You sure you don't want to eat? I mean, you can just call another Uber. I bet another Uber would let you eat.
And so I was like, he's like regretting this.
He's like trying to convince me that I want this so bad.
And are you wearing shoes?
Sorry, no shoes in the car.
Another Uber usually would let you have shoes probably.
Sorry, I'm so picky.
I get it.
Hey, if you want to call another one, I totally understand.
You guys like music?
No, no, we're good without music.
Sorry, rule, rule gotta blast the
music the entire time it's either polka or metal what do you think or polka metal and yeah that was
a funny part of it he was just like i you could just take another one i'm sure when you want that
sure it's okay you don't want to get another one and um holy cow so that was kind of funny and so
he did say he's like you know what i gotta stop and go to the restroom soon when i stop
that could be a time for you to like eat it really quickly it's like
hey great sure whatever so he's more worried about eating with a moving vehicle than eating in the
vehicle no he's just like i could while he goes to the restroom i would get out of the car stand
outside yeah okay and better than nothing 10 minutes go by and we haven't stopped anywhere
30 minutes go by i'm like well I don't want to upset him.
I thought he had to go to the restroom.
You're not really drinking very much water over there.
An hour goes by and Isaac texts me.
He's like, I don't think we're making that stop.
I was like, yeah, I gave up on it.
And then what do you know?
I mean, probably five minutes later, he's like, all right, you about ready to stop?
And I was like, yeah, let's do it.
And so we stop at a Starbucks.
He goes in, goes to the bathroom gets a coffee and i just slam a cold burrito as quickly
as possible standing outside i mean rice is like chewy yeah it's all falling all over me um oh my
gosh of course dude this is gonna sound like i'm eating it in front of a homeless guy you know just
like i'm i'm like basically staring at him eating food on a sidewalk. It was like, I promise you it's my only option.
In this scenario, I'm in.
Listen, buddy, I know, I know.
I don't like how this-
If I don't get it done in time, it's yours, all right?
Hey, yeah.
If you want the last fourth of this cold one,
he probably would be like, actually, I'm good.
Yeah, that actually looks unappetizing to me.
We ended up missing the show.
By how much?
I got there for the last two minutes of Trey's final song.
No way.
So I got there at the very end of it.
I took video.
I thought this would be kind of funny,
I don't know,
just to blackmail Trey someday,
of him doing the curtain call.
Like, I'm clearly there side stage,
and he just didn't call me out.
You know, it just looks like
it was a normal show where I performed.
He's like,
get up for Lucas, the DJ at Allen.
You know, I was like,
dude, what the frick?
I'm literally right here side stage.
Come on. I can't believe you wouldn't do that. That's funny. I don't know what I'll ever do with that video, but it was kind of funny to record that. in you know i was like dude what the frick i'm literally right here side stage come on you
wouldn't do that that's funny i don't know what i'll ever do with that video but it was kind of
funny to record that and that'd be that'd be pretty funny yeah just as a joke sometimes to
be like i don't know what i i can't wait to tell you what i did to trey to make him
something like that and just post on your story yeah that's kind of fun yeah truly clickbait yeah
so anyway it was just uh i guess that's kind of the end of that day it was just a wild day of just
like man when that was all said and done it was just like and i think we like went out and like
hung out that night like we went and got some like pizza that night and you know we're out late
watching like nba play i don't know what we end up watching that night all together but it's just like i can't believe i woke up at 5 45 this morning in kansas
city that's wild wow that was a long day yeah we'll come to the thunderstorms and yeah i saw
josie i got kicked off the plane today i ran through a train station and an airport wow that's
fun i took a two-hour uber today oh my gosh down a burrito in a gas station. Wow. Fun day. And shout out to Trey. He
paid Isaac and I regardless.
Wow. That was fun. That is nice.
That made it kind of worth it. I was like, you know what?
I felt bad. We had fun. I checked
my DMs to see if there were any ghosties. I never saw
anything beforehand or afterwards.
I felt bad if any ghosties came and didn't get to see me
perform. But I never saw anything, so maybe there weren't any there.
Okay, so what should you give all the ghosties
that were there to see you?
Are you going to do a private show for them?
Is that what you're saying?
More than that,
I want to give you my birthright.
Firstborn son.
Birthright.
Yep.
Calling him Will.
Yep.
Middle name Mington.
That's so crazy.
So, okay.
Fun day.
Yeah, it's a crazy day.
But yeah, adventurous.
It's going to be a memorable, like you're not
going to forget that. Yeah. And I got to do it with Isaac and I feel like I took lots of videos
and yeah, it was just fun. It was fun to send you that voice memo. Those kinds of days are fun.
I just lived like three days in one. Like when you just do so much in a day, someday I'm going
to be lame. I'm going to be old. I'm going to be boring. I'm like, man, I used to like
really run around town. Yeah. Yeah.
That's always like just this week when I've been working so hard on this woodworking thing,
I was like talking to Catherine. I was like, yeah, on Sunday when I was doing this, I was like,
wait, Sunday was yesterday. You know, like, yeah. Like when, when, when your days are so full,
sometimes Sunday, like one day feels like so far away. Like, whoa, I saw Josie this morning.
Like, wow. That's crazy because it feels like that was three days ago. Yeah. Like, whoa, I saw Josie this morning. Like, that's crazy because it feels
like that was three days ago. Yeah.
I saw my wife this morning. Yeah, that's
fun. Crazy. Yeah, it was really fun to do it with
Isaac. We had a fun time together just laughing at all
the different stuff and
good time. So how how much
longer was or shorter
whatever was the show
with you not there? Like how much did Lucas do?
I asked him and he said he ended up
doing like 25 minutes so really um he's comfortable just doing that off the cuff yeah i mean i think
in the fall lucas spent like 30 days in scotland doing like his own like hour-long show like every
night he would do an hour-long show at this like comedy festival wow so he's got plenty of material
yeah easy no problem okay but so the show is still relatively, they got their money's worth and yeah, Isaac and I just got
there at the very end and just, uh, yeah, it's kind of hung out. Lucas's parents were there,
met him. Cool. So that was kind of worked out. They got to see him do way more. Yeah. That's
yeah. Maybe there are some silver linings here. It sounds like at least there weren't a ton of
ghosties if there were. Yeah. Maybe zero, maybe zero. Like at least it wasn't in Salt Lake city or something.
Yeah.
Springfield.
Something.
Yeah.
Something terrible.
Like I can't believe it.
We could perform for them.
So it was nice.
It's crazy that this has not happened more.
That's what we talked about.
We're like,
you know what?
Cause Tom is always big on like,
we need to find the day before.
Yeah.
Train.
I were like,
we got so much going on.
We can't be gone another additional day.
We're going to find the day of. And in like three years years of touring this is the first time it's ever even been close
yeah and trey made it he said he got there at like 7 40 or so so obviously no sound check no
anything you know he's went up there and performed like 45 minutes after getting there i mean talk
about like uh like a fun like you've you've been doing this i'm not saying it's monotonous by any
means but like you guys have done so many of these shows talk about a fun like change up to be like
hey you're on in 30 minutes like you're here hi nice to meet you uh this is this is where your
green room is get ready because you're going out i know i think about that sometimes like when i
was getting nervous for the special i was like there's nothing to be nervous about i want someone
to spring it on me in the next 30 seconds because i could do it i could do it at any time of day
right it's a routine yeah but something about just like waiting to do it makes it worse like
yeah i could do it right now no problem that's fun man it is fun wow so rest of the shows
you want to talk about those you want to let's do a little hey Let's talk about something. What are you gonna talk about? The Bible app is back.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Read the Bible can be tough.
I think it'd be tough to carve out time.
I think it'd be tough to like,
even find time that makes sense for you
to like physically sit down and read it.
Would you say so?
Like it's,
there are, and there are better solutions to this. Like if you could take in the Bible more passively or while you're doing something you're already going to be doing, like doing the dishes or
driving, what a, what an amazing thing to have the ability to do. What a life hack. Life hack.
Is there a way? Well, there's probably not a way to do that though. Is there?
You probably got to download Audible and make an account.
How much does that cost?
And you have to record yourself reading the entire Bible, right?
How long can voice memos be?
I don't know.
I mean, do I have that much room on my phone?
I got to get a second Bible phone.
Wait.
No, there is a solution, and it's called the Dwell Bible app.
Dwell Bible app.
But don't take my word for it.
Who are we going to take?
Take Brad.
No, wait.
Don't take Brad's word for it.
Don't take Brad.
Don't take Tymon's word for it.
Me, me.
Yes.
Take Katherine Robinson's word for it, who just 23 hours ago posted this unsolicited.
Ghosty Katherine Robinson.
Yeah, this is not like some celebrity you're supposed to know.
Take Kate Robinson's word for it.
This is a fan.
Mom from seventh heaven.

Man.
Phew.
Speaking of church,
speaking of the Bible,
I saw a cyber truck at church on Sunday.
I saw that in your story.
It was,
it was a,
it was like a genuinely wild experience.
I was pulling,
it was,
first of all,
it was classic.
This guy parked in like the biggest spot in the parking lot,
like right where like everyone could see it anyway.
Um,
but I'm pulling straight forward towards it and I'm like,
I'm pretty good with cars.
I think like, what?
Is that a Rivian?
That's what I thought first.
And I was like, I think that's a Cybertruck.
Sure enough, dude.
Sure enough.
Saw it again.
We had a men's worship night last night.
It was there again.
I almost touched it.
So he's a man.
So he's a man.
Shocker.
A man that drives a Cybertruck.
Okay.
I almost touched it.
I did.
I thought about like, it'd be kind of cool to say I drives a Cybertruck. Okay. I almost touched it. I did. I thought about like,
it'd be kind of cool to say I touched a Cybertruck,
but I was like,
what if it like has some Tesla,
you know,
camera that goes on every time someone gets close to it.
And this weirdo is like,
who's this weirdo touching my truck?
He's touching it so strangely.
He's really caressing the thing.
I think he's doing men's worship night right now on my truck.
It was so funny. I mean, Catherine,
I just rolled my eyes at her last night.
She's like, so it's not even a truck though. It's a cyber...
What's it called? She doesn't have any
idea about anything. You wear this?
They're like goggles? What? Yeah.
How is that thing a truck?
I was like, I don't know what to tell you. It's just a truck.
Four wheels. It's got a truck. Four wheels.
It's got a bed.
It does?
So I don't want one by any means, but I'm very intrigued by them.
They're like all getting recalled because of the accelerator pedal.
I haven't heard that.
Yeah.
Bad thing.
Yeah.
A couple of bad things with it.
What do you mean?
Like it just sticks?
I think what I saw, yes, essentially.
It sticks down.
Like it gets stuck down. Terrifying. saw, yes, essentially. It sticks down. Like it gets stuck down.
Terrifying.
Yeah.
That's nice.
That's terrifying.
Luckily, it should like, you know, stay out of the way.
It won't like bulldoze an entire building if it ran into it full speed.
But you can throw a baseball and hopefully the window won't break down.
50-50.
At least there's that.
Yeah.
Yeah, apparently this guy that has it works for tesla in kansas city and so
wow this truck oh neato so i don't know if it's his truck or if he's like just
test driving it he's kind of letting people touch it crashing into it
crashing into buildings i think i saw two in california wow i was driving around but one of
them it was so it had like okay guess what color it was wrapped matte black no if he's making us guess
forest green sorry my guess was so bad it was purple brown oh no it looked so bad i was like
why would you that might be one of the last uh not the last ones but that's not good i mean any
car shouldn't be brown i don't think any car i try tanks in Afghanistan?
Defender of freedom?
Hey, idiot.
Operation Iraqi Freedom.
Where would we be without our Browns?
Dude, Bo is like... UPS trucks?
Yeah, what can Brown do for you?
They got to rebrand because Tymon doesn't like Brown.
Oh, Tymon thinks it's not good enough.
Let's do blue and orange.
Now we're FedEx.
Oh, yeah, good idea.
Bo randomly has chosen
brown to be his new favorite color.
It's so funny.
I can't remember if it was mine or my sister's.
Definitely my sister's favorite color, just because
horses were that color.
There it is.
Yeah, Bo's like,
can I get a brown plate
tonight? I'm like, we don't have brown plates.
Get a blue one, you weirdo.
That's a sad favorite color.
It is.
And for a while it was like, yeah, my favorite color is blue and red
and yellow and purple and brown.
That's amazing.
And now it's just brown for a while.
So we'll see.
You just mix them all together.
Yeah, basically.
Just put them all together and get that. So
that's funny.
Brad, I'd like to tell you a story of something that happened
last week. I didn't get to bring it up in the podcast.
And if you don't mind
time and I would like to sing it for you. Freaking
frick.
Go ahead. Another flashback.
No, just
good. I know it's I knew
that is the week of Gulf Shores. Oh, you know, so or no, sorry. I'm just saying I didn't want to put anything else on your plate. I, uh, no, it's, I knew this is the week of Gulf Shores.
Oh. You know, so, or no, sorry, I'm just saying
I didn't want to put anything else on your plate. I thought you were about
to do like an island themed. No, no, no.
Um, so I was like, let's
do one more, me and Tymon. Okay, okay, okay.
Next week. Hey,
Ghost, don't worry. Don't tell
Tymon, but I have some plans for us, alright?
You just, you just sit back, relax, and eat
the grapes. You got it, buddy.
Also, real quick before we start.
Ghosties out there on YouTube,
what is this lid for?
This is great, because hopefully they're coming
to YouTube for the song anyway, so this is great.
Two in one. You can look at the lid and the song.
I mean, this lid was on the grapes,
and it's a Tupperware lid.
It's got this, maybe it's a
straw holder? I don't know. I thought it maybe was for a lid. It's got this, maybe it's a straw holder.
I don't know.
I thought it maybe was for like a snack.
It seems like a European,
like a Scandinavian lid design.
They know what they're doing over there.
There's a hole in it, a lot of curves.
There's a hole hole?
Or I don't know, just like a... Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's like for communion.
It's like when you get done with your communion cup,
you put it in there.
No, yeah, like, oh, I just saw there's an outline of a knife right here on this part.
Oh, okay.
So, oh, maybe, well.
Come on, you got it. Encyclopedia Brown, you got this.
Yeah, maybe it's like, this is like where you can hold your knife for a picnic. And
this is where you take shots out of. We're doing a great shot.
This is great.
You come for the lid, you stay for the song on YouTube.
A lot of visuals here.
Alright.
I'm not going to tell you what it's about or anything.
Tymon, you ready?
I hope so.
Get as ridiculous as possible.
This is big because you guys,
it's like after you make the Mona masterpiece after you make the mona lisa what are you painting next you know so mouse
elisa yeah gotta follow it up let me make sure volume's good got a little different genre this
week it was new year's, what do you know?
Dancing around, doing the do-si-do
New friend, the smile was bright
Said he was a dentist, I said, sounds right
Tell you what, I could use your skills
Few cavities that sure need filled
Told me he's still in school
I said, great
Last week, the day finally came
I won't ever be the same
Waiting room of the dental clinic Had every crackhead and Casey in it.
For a sec, thought that I was lost. No big deal that I didn't floss.
Heard my name in my ears. Said bye to the lady with the beard.
Now it's time to get some work done. He said, I'm going to make you feel real numb.
Big needle. Whoa, what's that? Don't you worry. Just lean back.
Give it to me one time and worry just lean back give it to me
one time and it still hurt give it to me two times that it still hurt three times
four times do I hear five pretty sure I'm barely alive five times the
anesthesia dear Jesus I think I need you whole mouth feels like it's dead when I
tried to talk here's what I said said.
Okay.
Left that place feeling dumb enough. Tried to drink a smoothie, but nothing
would come. I've got no control
at all, and now I've got a big
phone call. This here is make or break he said
you there hello jake through the silence my heart drops low he's gonna say what i fear i know
bad dream like inception we're gonna go in a new direction wanna beg i wanna plead this here means
so much to me he said i'll give you one last try but what can I say with the tongue so tied try to show him what I'm about
open my mouth here's what came
out
in the land.
Oh, my goodness.
Tymon, that was so funny.
That settlement.
That's a fun song because we could do it 10 times and it would never sound the same.
Oh, Tymon, that was so good.
That was so funny. Thank you.
I really didn't know if you were going to...
Yeah, that was great.
Oh, that was awesome.
Yeah, Tymon sent over a voice memo.
It basically sounded like that.
I was like, hey, here's the song this week.
Well, I heard you were listening to something earlier.
Is that what you were listening to?
You were practicing?
You were practicing your syllables?
I was at the lowest volume in my ear.
I was like, how did I do this again?
What's Tymon listen to over there?
Yeah, I was like already planning on making the chorus gibberish
for like the story.
This truly is what happened.
This is based on real events last week.
And then when Tymon sent over a chorus, it was basically gibberish.
I was like, oh, just do that.
Don't change a thing.
Because he was, yeah, he was just practicing the syllables
or practicing the tune.
Yeah, he gave me another ba-da-bop again. And yeah, I was like, dude, he was just practicing the syllables or practicing. Yeah. He gave me another butt up, bop again.
And, um, yeah, I was like, dude, I'm laughing so hard by myself.
Just listening to this.
Um, I was like, this is perfect.
Just do that.
Um, that sounded like a band in Branson.
Like that sounds like an ass over to our city would do, you know, like that's a bald
knobber song.
Yeah.
Going to the dentist yeah um that really did
happen i've got to talk about it last week but he kept me like all right you should be numb now i
need to go into work on my teeth and i would just like involuntarily like flinch in pain because
he's like doing something in my tooth i mean it hurts like crazy yeah he's doing a feeling so he's
like in the center of my tooth he's like touching a nerve that's supposed to be numb and it's not and boy it hurt it's like oh okay i'm so sorry i'll give
you more and then we i would just keep doing it and i'm like i'm sorry man but i can still feel
it like i don't know what to say it's not taken whoa and so maybe he was missing the nerve and
so he's just getting my mouth and so eventually i am so numb dude dude. It's crazy. Then, yeah, I had a big phone call afterwards.
I had to try to talk on the phone.
I was like, eating feels dangerous right now.
He's like, oh, yeah, do not try and eat.
You'll bite your tongue.
So I tried to drink a smoothie.
I'm just like, it's coming out my mouth.
And then a volleyball game that night,
and I couldn't really talk.
I'm just spiking it with my face.
What are you doing?
What are you doing?
Girl! Go out and touch it. Go touch. Go'm just like spiking it with my face. Where did it go? Where did it go? Go!
Go touch it!
Go touch!
Go touch it!
Oh, wow.
That's a true story.
I've had it happen once.
Like I've had a shot, you know,
and like one shot is enough to be like,
that's kind of hard to eat.
I don't really, yeah.
You feel kind of scared to eat.
You had six of them or whatever?
Yeah, I think I had four to five times the normal amount of like local anesthesia.
And so what you had some phone call and some guy was like,
I don't think,
or is that,
was that dramatization?
That is a combination,
you know,
let's,
you know,
rap genius.
So when I wrote that lyric,
no,
um,
I really did have a frizzle fry.
It's spreading the gospel.
Yeah.
Yeah. Is what it means.
No, it's a combination of two different phone calls
I've had this past week.
One, I really did have an important phone call
right after the dentist.
I didn't get bad news during that phone call,
but I did get bad news like two days ago.
Hey, it's all good, guys.
Nobody freak out.
It's fine.
It's all going to work out.
I mean, he took an Uber and it was fine.
I couldn't eat, but it worked out.
So it was, yeah, two stories wrapped into one for the art.
For dramatic effect.
I love it.
Yeah.
But yeah, otherwise everything had to happen.
I met a guy at Trey's New Year's Eve party.
Uh-huh.
And he's like, yeah, I'm a dentist.
Like, I could use a dentist.
And he goes, you're a church, right?
I'm a student.
I was like, oh.
Yeah.
Great. I'm sure you know how to like. That's, I'm a dentist. Like, I could use a dentist. He goes, I'm a student. I was like, oh, yeah, great.
That's I'm sure you know how to like.
That's what I was hoping for.
Fill a filling without absolutely brutally hurting.
It's a bummer.
I have to go back in tomorrow.
Of course, the two days I'm home before Gulf Shores.
Like, let's go back to the dentist because I can't chew on the left side of my mouth.
Just like the fill.
I think it like it's not like my bite isn't. Maybe just go a regular dentist oh i'm uh no i'm so done i am i am never going back to the clinic again yeah i i could
afford it i just say all times in your life like i think this is the right time to probably afford
it yeah uh that's yeah it's like too too filled yeah i think yeah i think so it's like it's too far down
and so when i chew it like it like makes a weird sound and like scrapes it like slides against my
teeth it's really painful dang so for the last week i've just had to chew you know i left for
new york city the day afterwards so then i i've just had to chew everything on the right side of
my mouth for the last week and so now i have these like canker sores in my right cheek just because
all the food has just been there for a week. Gosh.
It's awesome.
That reminded me of I bit my tongue real bad on Sunday morning at the very end of church.
Like I was chewing gum during church, which Catherine would say, don't chew gum during church. And you're right, Kath.
What verse is that in?
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah.
Show me that legalist.
And yeah, get up to sing the final song. And I just
bite the heck out of my tongue. Like to the point where like I went to the bathroom afterwards and
I was just spitting out like, Oh, very red blood. You bit it so hard. Oh dude. Yeah.
Do you think it was bleeding for 15 minutes? I've never bit my tongue that bad. Yeah. Not that hard.
It still is kind of hurt on Wednesday because you were chewing gum or were you trying to speak in
tongues and God was like, Hey, we don't have an interpreter?
I will rebuke him.
I don't think so. Not Southern Baptist.
No, yeah, dude. It was bad. And so
I actually thought about this. Maybe
this could be an impromptu segment,
but it's just I have a problem. And
that's the name of the segment. Because I think I
bite my tongue way more
often. And like that, like probably once every two months.
Okay.
Like pretty often, maybe even, maybe even a little more frequently than that.
This one was worse, I think, than most, but yeah, I have a problem and it is biting my
tongue too often.
Do you guys have any, it could be anything like, Hey, I have a problem.
I can't stop doing X.
I have a problem.
I'm, you know, I have a problem i can't stop doing x i have a problem i'm you know i have a problem uh
i have been running a mile every single day for i don't know 120 days in a row and i still forget
some days and i remember at 10 p.m that's crazy oh my gosh i'm an idiot yeah so i have a problem
yeah you think you develop a habit after what they said 21 days not after 121 yeah like like
you think like you'd feel like
something's missing from my i feel like i haven't done everything yet and i guess that is what's
happening because i do eventually remember i guess but sometimes i'm surprised like wow 8 p.m just
not thought of it like yeah my day's been fine i don't know i i don't i need to do one more thing
i think i don't laundry oh run the mile yeah a while all right i think if you did it at the same
if it was like a scheduled routine in your day.
That's a good point.
Then you wouldn't forget,
which I'm not saying that I do.
Tymon has a problem.
He gives advice.
He doesn't take himself.
Tymon has a problem.
He gives advice that he didn't get asked to give.
All right?
Know your role.
Use your fingers.
All right?
Not your mouth.
Tymon, do you have a problem?
I'm trying to find something in my, like, any notes that I have.
I don't know.
I'm sure I have.
Do you have another problem?
I don't know.
I'm trying to think of anything.
I have a problem.
Up until age 32, I would only get my hair cut at gray clips.
But that has been eradicated.
I can now see that that was a problem
yeah it's gotten better i could have told you that um yeah i don't know that's my i i may not
i i might have a problem okay i probably don't shower as much as i need to
what like i think sometimes you shower like three times a day yeah i would never i think
that's a little more than neat than like then like you would need to. I don't know.
So you're giving advice again.
This is good.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm just kidding, Ty.
I've showered.
It's not too uncommon for me to shower twice in a day,
but then also not too uncommon for occasionally I won't shower like a day.
Really?
Yeah.
Oh, man.
So Saturdays, you know, it was big dadder days.
It's when I take the kids out and often I'll try to sleep in a little bit on Saturdays,
like, and just wake up when the kids come and wake us up. And so I will miss my shower often
on Saturday mornings. And I feel so like, I think there's something about my attitude that's worse
all day because I'm not, I haven't showered yet. I will say for sure, like affects the entire day.
If I don't shower in the morning, like I have, it's like a just start. It's like in order for
my day to start, I feel like I have to be like, I have to have gotten wet like this morning. I,
I gotta get wet. I don't care. It can be a pool. It can be outside with a thunderstorm. Apparently
I feel like it genuinely is that though. Like I wouldn't even, I wouldn't like need to have
used soap to feel like,
okay,
I'm good.
Just like,
and like,
just,
yeah,
just like getting new clothes and my hair is not like bed,
bed anymore.
Just like,
yeah,
I feel like I can't do much until I've showered.
I have a problem.
I don't think I ever consume any iron cause I don't eat red meat.
Oh really?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Probably not.
Cause the other things that have iron, you're not eating either. Probably. Okay. I have a problem. I don't eat red meat. Oh, really? Yeah. Yeah, probably not because the other things that have iron,
you're not eating either probably.
Okay, I have a problem.
I don't eat spinach either, guys.
Well, with broccoli?
I don't know.
I don't eat blood.
I know that has iron in it.
You got to get some pills.
Or chewable tablets.
I think I did have iron pills.
No, I definitely did.
So, yeah, I should get back on those.
I have more problems.
I wish I had. Yeah, I didn't think about it this morning i have a problem i bite my nails 32 years old
still buy my nails same same i don't think it's a problem okay i haven't used it i don't mind doing
it like i feel like it's nice i don't have to like i don't have to clip them i have not clipped
my nails in a long time i don't think i've ever clipped my fingernails in my life. No.
Really?
When I was younger, my mom, like, when I was, like, a little, like, a very small child,
my mom, like, clipped them.
Well, I'm sure my mom did too.
Yeah, but I don't remember it.
Yeah.
No, I don't think that's a problem. There's no need to.
I have a problem.
I really don't value food very well. i i don't care about nice restaurants i don't care
about food that's gonna taste better or i just like just whatever's quick just get it over with
that's like the opposite really true though more often than not i mean like because if that's the
case then you would be eating differently at home like you just eat at home every single day
or you'd like take something to go with you wait yeah because you'd eat rice or something i don't know what i'm saying
like right now i just like whatever like i eat like the same five places and they're all really
close by to me i think those are all just like really good like the food tastes really good
i feel like because are because are you saying but they're all like any food's fine for you is
kind of what you're saying?
I guess so.
I just don't value a nice restaurant or sitting down at a restaurant.
Yeah.
I'd rather eat food in my home and not tip a waiter and watch whatever I want on the TV
rather than whatever game is on at some restaurant.
I think if that's a problem, I think I have that same problem then, probably.
Just like last night, Rachel and I just got chilies to go
and just ate it at our table.
I thought that was awesome.
Yeah, that sounds great.
Just get it over with.
I would way rather do that
than sit down at a nice restaurant for an hour and a half.
I love eating fast food at home.
Yeah.
See, you know me.
I'm opposite.
I love eating in a restaurant.
Any time for it to get cold.
No, exactly. I want it to be just like God intended it, fresh. I love eating in a restaurant. You don't have any time for it to get cold. No, exactly.
I want it to be just like God intended it, fresh, fresh on the plate.
Yeah.
We went to McLean's the other day for Datter Days,
and Bo found a dime on the ground somewhere like the day before,
and he's like, I really want to spend –
I want to use my dime to buy my own breakfast.
And I said, well, it's not enough. I'm sorry.
But he's like, okay, I'm going to bring it anyway. And he's like, I'll bring my money too. And I was
like, okay guys, but I'm still having to pay for this anyway. But they both, uh, tipped,
tipped the barista. It was pretty cute. Yeah. How do you, how do you just took her money out
of her purse and just like put it in there? There's some coins. It was pretty sweet. Yeah.
Yeah. He also like, we went to the doll store the other day and she
told the lady, yeah, I have $76.
I'm like, Hattie,
we don't tell people how much money we have.
Don't get in the habit of doing that. Yeah, that's not a good idea.
I don't want people to think
I'm anti-tipping. I don't have a problem
with tipping. I'm just saying.
I like my own home to eat. I just want to say that.
I don't have that problem. Tymon? I was going to say, I have a problem.
I've been working for Ghost Run runners for over a year and I
completely forgot to upload, uh, an episode like last with a Wednesday one with, I thought you
were going to say something right now that you like, and I completely forgot to record it.
And I was like, dude, I don't, I don't know. Maybe you could go back on YouTube and look at
my face. Cause I think maybe it was just a little bit like, what are you about to say right now?
Dude, yeah.
Thinking about that makes me so anxious.
That would be so bad. Yeah, I know.
It is the biggest bummer because
we can't replicate something twice.
The reactions or anything.
No, it's so hard.
Yeah, if we did it again, I wouldn't have said settlement
probably. Yeah, a whole little
song. Among the gibberish.
No, that was great though. I loved a few things that weren't gibberish like that was so funny you know what it seemed like you were saying something yeah i had like
since i'm genuinely i feel like i'm just not very good at improv i like wrote down a few like
random like just simply random words then i was like i don't have like enough so i went i looked
up as you were singing your second verse i looked up random word generator and just like
kept like clicking i'll just occasionally sprinkle looked up random word generator and it's like
Sprinkle it. That's fun. That's kind of fun. It would be very different every time we did it. Yeah
Okay, last one I have a problem. I love playing time. It's voice mo was on the podcast for him to cringe and listen back To you. This one's great The little attitude
The very
Like a bass guitar

mean you don't know okay when i wear a cap or a hat with like and i like put my hair like back
and under it i feel like my forehead looks weird i feel like i it's like i don't like so i like
having like a little hair like coming out don't do that also then i never have the option to like
like take off my hat because then it just like looks like, I mean, in general, it just looks matted or whatever.
You got to commit.
It's an all day thing.
Yeah.
To wear the hat.
Yeah.
It's true.
I committed this morning.
I was like, I'm going for it.
Jake, a fun fact time.
And I don't, maybe we talked about on an old episode you've heard, but had this hat that
he wore religiously for like two years, maybe a year.
Big Chill 92, it said on it.
I don't think I'm there yet.
He did a little flip up.
Yeah, it's true. I kind of raise it
up here.
Yeah.

I think it was a YouTube comment.
They're like, I know the guys love Main Street Roasters.
I know they have a lot of fans that they developed.
But I think one thing nobody talks about.

but there's no words to it.
I just have...
That's what's so fun.
Anybody can sing it.
You know, I've been listening to the Tarzan soundtrack
a lot recently, and I'm like,
how serious did they write out the lyrics
for Trash in the Camp?
Yeah. You know, because it is... They they write out the lyrics for trash in the camp? Yeah.
You know, cause it is the, they, they all do sing the same words, quote unquote.
Yeah.
You know, was Rosie O'Donnell the one that just.
What did the first draft look like?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Or was it like, no, Phil, Phil really wants she be deep.
She be deep.
You're saying she be deep.
You hear the difference?
You know, like, uh, I've, I've thought about that recently. So that's a good point. You're saying Shiba Doop, Daba Deep. You hear the difference?
I've thought about that recently.
That's a good point.
Maybe it's the same thing where it's like somebody tries to cover this song of time.
No, you say Frank than Settlement.
Listen to it again.
Gosh.
Can't wait for the lyric video.
Oh, yeah.
William, Will Maher sent us a lyric video of mouse in the house that was pretty awesome so do we want to uh before we wrap this video up do we want to get into our new um
new kind of concept new uh this is called jake and brad try to grow the podcast by going viral
take three what was take one and two i don't know. I know. Take two was like trying to say controversial things that are just like blatantly wrong
and clipping nose like women don't need to know science or whatever.
Kids don't need school.
Kids don't need school.
Steroids are good for baseball.
Steroids are good.
Yeah.
And that was a little off brand.
I think that was like, obviously not who we are.
Probably not the best way to get people to actually tune in. But Brad has come up with something that I think is way more on brand
for us and gives us much like scalable Instagram, TikTok content. Yeah. Yeah. And it's going to be,
I don't know if we have to have like a segment for it or how we want to present it, but basically
we just have a bunch of different random lists and we're just going to try to guess them from
each other or whatever. Just have little, little conversations that are going to be a little
more interactive hopefully on on social media where you can be like oh i thought it was going
to be this or you know whatever things that people can comment or debate about or whatever
kind of like schmores or yes yeah it's a lot similar like those things so um also time and
while i'm thinking about it have your riddle ready for the jingle at the end
don't forget that you can be remember how we're gonna do it yeah i'm just saying have your riddle
ready okay you were gonna give us uh r-i-d-d-l-e during the g-i-n i was gonna be you i thought
i thought you were gonna like give us riddles i thought you were gonna give a riddle as well
in between us singing it oh no no no no no, no. No, that's not true.
I originally thought it was going to be Jake, and then Jake said something else.
You're wrong.
Jake's right.
Then I missed the update.
Probably because you're listening to your own voice memos over and over again.
Oh, man.
Okay, so let's just do a few of them.
Let's just see what happens.
Let's go for them.
You want me to do one for you first? Sure, yeah, these are, let's just do a few of them. Let's just see what happens. Let's, uh, go for them. Um, you want, you want me to do one for you first? Sure. Yeah. Give me one.

rugby golf there it is rugby and hockey are very surprising there.

Okay.
In no particular order,
can I do that?
Yep.
I'm going to go strawberries, number one.
We're great at this.

Uh,
best,
best fruits,

Give me bananas.
Just make everything better.
Okay.
A nice banana is something to behold.
I think if you grew up playing donkey Kong, you love bananas, right? Absolutely. Um, all if it's free raspberries,
they're expensive, but they are nice. Raspberries are crazy expensive, but they are reasonably
priced for how good they are. Um, and then after that, dang dang that's when it gets tough that's when the rubber
meets the road that's where you get into the hockey of the fruits yeah um i'm gonna go watermelon
yeah is that crazy no no no that's great watermelon's consistently good it's like
and and when it's really good it's really good fourth. Fourth of July. Yep. Oh, yeah.
And then to round off the list, I can't leave out blueberries.
Yeah.
Blueberries are great.
Superfood.
Superfood.
Got to have them in there.
Yeah.
I care about that.
No.
Yeah.
I think that's fine.
But that's tough, dude.
You could do a million things there.
I'll mention.
Which one would you go with?
You had one more to add.
Apples, dude. Apples. Apples. dude you could you could do a million things there audible motion which one would you go with you had one more to add apples dude apples apples we're talking apples you know oj's dad was fruity

If you're watching this video, it's because you're wanting to see about the five longest
bones in the human body.
All right, I'll show up.
Give us a good clean one.
The five longest bones in the human body.
Okay.
That felt like a good start to it.
Femur.
Femur's number one.
Yes.
19, almost 20 inches, 19.9.
And newborn babies, femur-sized.
Wild.
Typically.
Yeah.
The thigh bone for the layman out there.
Let me look it up.
Tibia? Dude is on roll, yeah. Tibia?
Dude is on roll, yeah.
Tibia, number two.
The shin bone, 16.9 inches.
It's kind of nice I got it right in front.
I got the study guide on me.
But I don't know my bones very well.
You're talking to a bone guy.
I'm talking to a bone dude over here.
They call him Bonesaw.
Yeah. it bone saw yeah um fibula crack the top five then just crack the top five it's number three
on the list you're talking to the bone man the lower leg fibula 15.9 inches yeah because i think
it's the same bone right next to each other i I figured they'd be the same length. If you go five for five, I'll shave my head today.
Oh, the cranium.
No, that's not my pick.
If you know the names of all of them.
No, I don't want to shave my head.
I'll do it.
I'll do it.
I'll do it.
Do you need us for this or are you just going to debate each side?

It's like Slumdog Millionaire for bones.
Slumdog Bonionaire.
Okay.
I'm now, all right.
I'm going to walk you through my thought process.
This is probably not going to make Instagram.
Who cares?
Now I'm thinking about the back.
I'm like, oh my gosh, your spine is so long.
I'm not going to give you any kind of indication but the spine would
have been longer than any of the bones already mentioned so i don't think the spine could be it
although it does seem like i'm curious let's get a medical expert to tell me how the spine isn't
longer than all those other things or the vertebrae yeah yeah yeah if it's i think that
the spine is made up a bunch of small things is that true okay maybe it's not like one singular
that's that's what i But hey, hey, hey.
Go with whatever you want, man.
I would have gone one for four so far.
Take the United fight.
I don't care.
All right.
Not the back.
All right, we've done here.
We've done here.
I kind of want to nail this.
I don't know what this is called.
This seems next up.
Oh, what about a rib?
What else do I have?
Breast plate?
It's righteous.
What's longer, this or a rib?
I don't know what this is called. I gotta go rib.
Rib.
Seventh and eighth rib are seven and eight on the list nine and a half and 9.1 inches
the correct answer for number five is ulna which is your inner lower arm oh okay at 11.1 average
inches dang the ulna the ulna that's where i was like no way is this is this bone guy that much of
a bone guy i can only bone so much ulna olna sounds like it'd be your great
grandma's name yeah oh that's olna she's not really with come on can we bring over papa and olna
sure that was a pleasant surprise that was that i i can't believe how close that was dude
that was fun i this is what i think think Brad and I are very good at knowing some things about a
lot of stuff.
Yeah.
Not an expert on anything.
Get me on a game show.
We ask a lot of general questions.
I might do.
All right.
And that was one of the ones that was like,
Jake's going to do better at this than me.
You know,
like I'm more of a science guy.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You're more of an English guy.
Okay.
Yeah,
I think so.
Better than me.
I hope that's true.
I hope I have something better than you.
I don't know.
Certainly not bones.
Should I try to find an English one for you?
Jake, I want to get quick the take of you asking the rib again,
because I feel like I messed up the camera switch.
Okay, okay.
Continuity, continuity, everyone.
Computer's down here.
Marker.
I'm trying to think if this is longer than
this I'm gonna go rib cut got it thanks timing I actually really appreciate that
you yeah dude cared about that good job finally doing your job just like your all right let's go um this is not going to be uh english just just fyi
oh okay i was like you're gonna say it in spanish i get what you're saying sorry yeah it's about
the um can you name the five states that have the highest minimum wage in the united states
oh highest minimum wage okay yeah of course i Oh, highest minimum wage. Okay. Yeah,

of Ghostrunners, but it's five stars, hands
down. Simon says all hands down.
With all the garbage in the world,
it is comforting to have a very down-to-earth podcast
that stays true to their faith and principles.
I love listening to Jake, Brad, and Tyman. I really feel like you guys
are my friends. I'm getting a fun check-in twice a week.

You have to ask questions all at the same time.
Let's read them at the same time. I'll do one headphone for each of you guys.
A wealthy family lived in a big circular house.
They had a maid, a butler, and a gardener.
What disappears is...
The parents were going to a party.
Say its name.
So they tucked the younger kids into bed and kissed them goodnight and said goodbye.
Yours is so short.
I know.
I'm saying it over again.
I think I have time.
And kissed the older kids goodnight.
When the parents came home, all the kids were gone.
They had been kidnapped.
You want me to start over so that you can actually hear it?
Timons is silence.
Yep.
How's that for Big Bone?
Sorry.
A wealthy family lived in a big circular house.
They had a maid, a butler, and a gardener.
The parents were going to a party, so they tucked the younger kids into bed
and kissed them goodnight and said goodbye and
kissed the older kids goodnight. When the
parents came home, all the kids were gone.
They had been kidnapped.
The authorities asked the butler, maid, and gardener
what they were doing at the time of the kidnapping.
The butler said he was organizing
the library. The maid said she
was dusting the corners, and the
gardener said he was watering the plants. There's no corners.
Circular house. That's stupid!
That's too easy!
That was like chapter one
of Technopedia Brown. That was a simple one.
Like every criminal, you made one mistake.
It's the corners
that got you!
Alright, here's the next one.
A farmer went to a market and bought a wolf, a goat,
and a cabbage. On his way home, the farmer came to the bank of a river and rented a boat.
But crossing the river by, do you know it?
Yeah, I've done this before.
Like, you know, the wolf and the chicken can't go over in the canoe together,
but the chicken's going to eat the cabbage.
They can't go over together.
How do you get them across the river?
Oh, okay.
This is why Jake probably should have been the one finding the riddles.
Yeah, that's my bad.
Because I don't know any of these.
You walk into a room and see a bed.
On the bed, there are two dogs, five cats, a giraffe, six cows, and a goose. There are room and see a bed on the bed there are two dogs five cats

the floor four because it's a bed gosh darn it sold no no six the bed's four legs plus your two
legs hello bangkok jake is so smart this is better than rears digest um i'm a five letter word that
people and people eat me.
If you remove the first letter, I become an energy form.
If you remove the last two letters, I'm needed to live.
All right.
I can work on that one.
Scramble the last three letters, and I'm a drink.
Oh, my gosh.
What word am I?
Oh, my gosh.
You got it?
Can you say that?
Yeah.
Yeah.
I was trying to say it fast so that maybe that would trip you up.
I'm a five-letter word, and people eat me.
If you remove the first letter, I become an energy form.
If you remove the last two letters, I am needed to live.
Scramble the last three letters and I am a drink.
What word am I?
Press play.
Last three is what? Drink? Yep.
All right.
Scramble the last three letters.
Jingle time.

This is a good challenge.
Okay, cool.
All right, so ask me some riddle questions.
Is it like, can I ask you, is it a physical letter that is being removed?
Yes.
Okay.
It's not like the words envelope.
You remove a letter from it.
No, no.
It's exactly right.
Should I sing this song?
Yeah, you want to.
Do you want to make a podcast or make fun videos instead?
Yeah, time it.
I think some comedy is overdue.
I've started hiring teens to produce all of our shows.
Hang in there, Tymon.
It gets a little funny, all these episodes.
Just watching the views tick by.
Do you want to make a podcast?
Oh, that's more questions.
This is tough.
I don't have it.
It's a five-letter word.
And that is a food. It could be eaten. Right. Remove the first one, and it's tough I don't have it it's a five letter word and that is a food
it can be eaten
right
remove the first one
and it's an energy form
energy form
I don't even know
what energy forms would be
like light
mass
I don't know
remove the last letter
you need it to live
maybe that's where
I should start
like water
what's a four letter word
for something you need to live
that's where I should go after
air shelter food laptop I should start? Like water. What's a four letter word for something you need to live? That's where I should go after. Air?
Shelter. Food?
Mud help?
Oxygen?

Lung. Very close, yeah, yeah. Physically. Yep, I'm on it. I'm on it. I'm on it. Lung.
Very close.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But not lung.
Okay, okay, okay.
What normally happens to this part of the song?
All right.
It's an emotional part of the movie.
The singing and dancing moves the plot along.
Timon.
Please. I know you're in there.
People are asking, where's your face?
They say, have courage.
They're talking to you.
We're right here for you.
Just show your face.
The ghosties want to see it.
It's just us and them
What are you gonna do?
Do you wanna make a podcast? it's not long but it's close i can't i can't figure it out what's near your lungs
something important you turn that up to make it uh oh see i was trying to think of four letter i
was like nose to breathe in oh it's it's not a four-letter word.
Oh, really?
What does it say?
It's a five-letter word, but if you remember the last letter,
then you need it to breathe.
So it should be a four-letter word.
If you remove the first...
Oh, gosh.
I was wrong.
I stirred your interest.
So I've been trying to think of a four-letter word that doesn't exist.
If you remove the first two letters, I need to live.
Oh.
I was thinking if you add a letter, it doesn't matter.
Hey, I feel better about not getting it now.
What do you need to live?
You need to do two different things.
Air. Breathe.
Okay. Breathe.
And you need to consume...
Oxygen.
Yes. Oxygen. What else do you need to consume?
Food.
Okay. And how do you consume food?
Mouth, chew, swallow, eat, digest.
Eat.
Eat.
So last three letters, eat.
Last three letters are eat.
Oh, yeah.
The first word and it's energy, which would be what?
Feet, deep, pleat, meat.
Is meat energy?
Eh, no, it's not this energy.
Wheat, beat. What is that meat energy? Eh. No, it's not this energy. Wheat.
Beet.
What is that word?
I'm trying to... Seat?
I'm looking at the alphabet now.
Heat.
Heat is energy.
Heat.
And five letter words, it'd be eaten.
Wheat.
Wheat.
Yeah.
Okay.
And then the last three letters, if you jumble them, you can drink it.
Tea.
Tea.
Okay.
So, hard enough.
Hard enough.
Especially if you get the wrong clues and I'm leading the wrong way.
Hey,
Reader Digest,
not bad,
not bad.
