Happy Monday, happy Memorial Day to everyone listening to us.
Perfect.
Yeah.
We do that every Memorial Day.
To honor those who have not gotten to watch Top Gun yet.
That's what we do it for.
Yes.
Speaking of holidays, this is a couple weeks ago.
I forgot to mention this on the podcast, but it was Sunday morning, the day of Mother's Day.
Rachel and I, the alarm's going off.
We're waking up, getting ready to go to church.
Rachel's first words to me were, she said,
happy Mother's Day.
And I freaked out.
I was like.
Wait, did, did.
Why?
Why is it?
In my head, I was really freaking really freaking out like what a way to start
happy mother's day and then she just like keeps going about her happy mother's day
i forgot we were going to early service or earlier normal oh i might try an americano
today i don't really get americano yeah just just get a little zany on mother's day so then
i'm just like a good idea?
I don't know.
I have to drive to Iowa later,
so it probably would be good to get caffeine.
So I'm just like, in my own head,
just figuring out,
okay, I guess she's not trying to tell me anything.
She's just like being funny and saying,
happy Mother's Day.
Yeah.
But man, for a split second,
what do I start the day?
Does she do that for every holiday that doesn't apply? Oh, uterus is full.
Happy Yom Kippur.
Is it Arbor Day already?
It snuck up on me.
Happy Ramadan.
How'd you sleep?
Hungry, I bet.
Yeah, right.
I bet.
Uh-oh.
Ooh, I think this tight beat means that it's going down
with some random thoughts and white meat too.

Huh? You can say that.
Their tagline is
they're striving to be America's best clean comedy
podcast. That's just something you can say.
Something you can say.
Speaking of comedy, I got hit up
a few nights ago about doing a
little private comedy gig.
Okay.
It's like a, it's called Date Night Comedy.
This guy does this all over the country and wanted to ask me to do it.
He's like, are you free next February?
I was like, holy cow.
Yes, I can be free next February.
Super Bowl.
Well, hey.
Careful.

have a little practice like a little like prove myself comedy gig basically trey and i on tour
yeah are going to sioux falls right and i don't know when this
comes out like a week basically two weeks and so i think he's got to come to that okay and if it's
good then he'll book me to do this like two night private comedy event so but kind of fun but had
you already kind of like he already asked you to do it and now he's like back and back like well
i'll have an opportunity to see it first i get to see the merchandise first yeah i'm gonna take the
opportunity yeah oh i'm sure you'll get it.
That's the thing is he said he'd seen my first special on YouTube.
So I was like, oh, well, great.
I feel like the new stuff is better than that anyway.
So if you were going to hire me on that, I feel great.
That's fun.
Right.
I feel great.
I just feel great.
And happy Father's Day.
Happy Father's Day to you.
Is it only in Sioux Falls that he wants you?
Yeah.
I know.
I'm hoping. I was like, is there any other dates or somewhere we could he wants you? Yeah, I know. I'm hoping.
I was like, is there any other dates
or somewhere we could turn this into?
So we'll see.
Because you made it sound like it's like a tour kind of thing.
It sounds like he does this across the country.
Maybe it's not that often,
but yes, it's a branded thing that they do.
It sounds like a fun deal.
It's like a,
I think it might be a weekend long date night kind of thing.
It's a little marriage.
It's a little comedy.
It's a little entertainment.
They have magicians sometimes.
I might just do both.
Charge a little extra. I like that little comedy. It's a little entertainment. They have magicians sometimes. I might just do both. Charge a little extra.
I like that.
You ever seen a flaming wallet?
That was a good trick, dude.
That was crazy.
That was crazy.
You ever seen a girl disappear in the back and then reappear?
You get it.
They were twins.
Like a lump on the stage?
She disappeared.
She was out of there.
That was wild.
So, yeah, I haven't done comedy in a long time,
it feels like,
but I'm excited to have something on the table,
something to be proving myself for.
So that'll be fun.
You haven't done it in a while?
So June 8th is my next show.
And the most recent night before that
would have been like mid-April,
mid to late April.
Yeah.
April 20th or something.
A little two- months hiatus.
Long stretch.
But like riding a bike, you fall off a couple of times.
Nobody laughs.
And then you figure it out.
It'll be fine.
And then people start laughing at you again.
And then they laugh in a different way.
They're like, that bike is bent, so it doesn't ride very well.
So that's funny.
So that'll be fun.
Decided to get back out on the road just for a couple days.
Sioux Falls, South Dakota.
Yes, in Fargo, North Dakota.
Okay, cool.
Pretty sure.
Performed in a church in Fargo one time like two years ago.
So it'll be good to be back.
I kind of remember that.
I remember there were big Carson Wentz fans.
And now he's a chief.
So that's fun.
I forget that.
That's fun.
Yeah.
My friend Nolan said he saw a Carson Wentz on a golf course last week.
Sweet.
You want me to keep going to stream of consciousness? Speaking of golf,
no.
Yeah. Chiefs
week one, playing the Ravens.
First game of the year. That's true.
Yeah, it's a big deal. All these teams
are trying to really outdo themselves
and their teams with how they announce the schedule, which
is a funny thing to take pride in that. There's so many
other pieces of content you could do, but they're like,
let's spend a ton of time and money releasing our schedule. What do you think? I think they're kind
of fun. I don't, I don't, it's fun. I'm not like a look at every single team thing, but like when
they come across my feed, it's pretty fun to see the different things that they all do. It's cool
that it's become a thing. Yeah. I just wish it was more interesting content because I'm not,
I don't care enough about the Ram schedule to really watch their video. Yeah. But if it was like a creative way of doing a highlight reel or something,
right. I think I would watch, but they kind of like make fun of like other team,
like rivals and stuff sometimes. Yeah. They try to, yeah. The chiefs partnered with that
hydraulic press company. I thought that was a creative way of doing it. That was great.
Right. Perform the best. Yeah. Our social goes, who didn't love a good hydraulic press.
And one of them, who was it? The Chargers maybe did like a Sims theme.
Yeah.
That was pretty funny.
Those are the two I think I've seen so far.
Yeah, it was fun.
I think someone else did like a Grand Theft Auto theme.
The Falcons or something maybe.
Probably, Atlanta.
Yeah.
Just kidding.
Kirk Cousins.
I mean, yeah, that makes sense.
Let's talk about the NFL a little bit more.
Have you watched the Tom Brady roast?
No, it's three hours long.
So, no.
But I checked the highlights, of course. And people were really funny. It was great. Yeah, it's three hours long. So, uh, no, but I checked the highlights of course.
And, uh, people were really funny. It was great. Yeah. I watched it. I finished it last night. I
watched, watched it in a few different segments and first of all, crazy inappropriate. So not
condoning it to anybody to watch necessarily. Um, but also kind of fun. I don't know, maybe
on one level I need to be more humble because I think
we know how hard standup comedy can be and roasting or whatever. But like on another level,
it's like some of the jokes that some of these comedians were doing, I'm just like,
that's not very good at all. Who were the bad ones? Uh, Bert and Tom Segura. Right. Like I've
never been a huge fan of their comedy, but teach their own. I think Tom Segura is pretty funny.
It was like, it was like they were saying these jokes that like, surely they know these
aren't very funny.
It was like, I don't know if they didn't have very much time to like think of jokes or something.
Oh, I think they had tons of time.
Cause I know Andrew Schultz has been grinding comedy clubs in New York city preparing.
He's been doing his Tom Brady material at comedy clubs.
Oh, perfect.
Testing them out.
He did good.
And he crushed.
He was funny.
Nikki Glaser.
She's a pro
honestly the thing I laughed the most at was they had Bill Belichick come out there and it's one of
those things where it's like when you're not a natural you're not comfortable up there and you
say anything funny it's like double funny yeah you know you're not doing it smoothly not exactly
like this because Tymon was comfortable but like when Tymon got up and said anything remotely
roasted like anything mean yeah wow that Wow, that's so raw.
That is so funny.
Yeah, or Catherine even.
Right.
Just being mean.
Yeah, exactly.
So anyway, it was one of those things.
Like Catherine came in as I was watching.
I was like, dude, I'm going to pause it.
You can't watch this.
Really?
And she's like, no, I'll be fine.
And like five minutes into it, she looked at me.
I'm like, I know.
I told you this is not good.
That's funny. Literally last night, Rachel was like,
I kind of want to watch Tom Brady roast.
I was like, it's three hours long.
You should just watch the highlights.
Yeah.
I haven't seen the whole thing, but I'm just guessing.
It was too long.
A lot of fluff.
Definitely like too much fluff.
It felt like it was, yeah, I don't know.
Just like Kevin Hart would come up there,
and he didn't really know what he was going to say
in between things.
Because he was the host.
Yeah.
And it was like, you could tell this us a live event that didn't have everything planned
out perfectly.
Yeah.
Maybe just don't do it live.
Maybe cut some stuff out and just make it better.
Well, that's right.
I hear that the comedy central ones, they do cut it out.
Do you know that?
Like, uh, I just assumed it was probably edited.
Yeah.
I just, I, I guess my assumption was like, okay, these things are only an hour and a
half long, usually on comedy central.
And they tried to do it longer on Netflix.
But yeah, I think... They just take the best of the best.
Yeah, they just take the better ones.
Do you see Tom Brady came out on a podcast
and said he regrets doing it
because of how it affected his kids?
I did see that.
Which is hilarious.
Shocker, Tom Brady made a move,
made a decision about his career
and didn't think about his family.
That's the most Tom Brady thing of all time.
I put my career before my family. Maybe I shouldn't have done that.
They were really like, they like made fun of me for getting a divorce. It's like, yeah,
dude, of course you did. Your wife cheated on you with her like Tai Chi instructor. That's
going to get brought up. Yeah. You had a baby with a woman that you didn't like marry initially
in life. Like they made fun of that. Like, yeah, he's in it. You
could tell, like, he's kind of, I mean, anybody that's like a great athlete like that is a little
bit of a robot. Like, you know what I mean? Like Kobe Bryant, Michael Jordan, like they have a
little bit of that, like just next level edge to him. And you could tell a few times he's like,
that's I'm offended by this. Like, well, yeah, he went to the stage at one time on Jeff Ross's joke.
Yeah. See that. So I guess they were told beforehand, like, Hey, there are a few things off limits. And Jeff Ross is like, I'm going to make this joke anyway to the stage at one time on Jeff Ross' joke. Did you see that? I guess they were told beforehand
like, hey, there are a few things off limits. Jeff Ross is like,
I'm going to make this joke anyway. He's like, hey,
don't do that.
Cut that out. It was live, so they couldn't
do anything about it. It was great. I love that
Jeff Ross just didn't care. He's like, well, I'm here to roast
you. That's like his only thing he ever does.
It wasn't even about Tom Brady.
It was about Robert Kraft for doing something criminally wrong.
That's fine. Speaking of sports, I haven't even about Tom Brady. It was about Robert Kraft for doing something criminally wrong. So that's fine.
Right.
Speaking of sports, I haven't talked about this last two weeks,
but we did an in-person Friday event, Friday Pickleball event in Kansas City.
Yeah.
And Tymon got to be there.
Tymon was there the whole time.
It was fun.
I got some video footage of it,
but Tymon got paired at one point with a woman who showed up already drunk.
And somehow Tymon and her were partners.
Yeah.
And it was so funny. They could not have been
more opposite. And it was just so funny to play an entire game together. It was hilarious. I can't
think of goodness gracious. My voice. I, uh, I don't know. It was just like, she was pretty bad,
but it was like, she was drunk right away. Yeah. How, how could you tell uh i just assumed this was not normal behavior i don't know it's
just like i don't know i i have been around very little uh drug people but i was like this is god
that's gotta be what it is something yeah she showed up that way because there was like kind
of a bar there but she showed up just like i can't wait to get one of these beautiful paddles
holy cow it was like before.
It was good.
Before I got paired up with her, I noticed her talking to you guys.
Oh, that's right.
Taking a selfie.
That gave me a warning of how she was acting.
It was interesting.
It was.
Scott Peck.
Should we answer real quick?
Sure.
He should talk about it.
That's true.
Yo.
I don't know if he can hear you he hears hey is this ghost runners podcast yeah we're recording right now we're actually talking
about the uh drunk lady that got paired up with time and last friday oh boy that was fun dude i
she was something man she showed up pretty sloshed.
What's an impersonation of her?
I don't want to say what she said.
Her most memorable quote from the evening.
So she walked up and she goes,
I don't play this game, but I got this outfit.
Because you've got gotta look the part right
how old was she um i don't know like our age she seems okay early 30s mid 30s maybe yeah
i mean it was five o'clock on a friday and she ready to go. Several drinks deep. Wow. She loves Fridays. What are you up to, dude?
Just doing a little Friday customer service.
You know, you know. Yeah.
I've been filling Brian in today off the podcast.
Just all the USAPA stuff and
the emails and the drama.
Yola. Talk, Brian, how to pronounce Yola.
Jula.
Jula.
Yeah, dude. It's honestly the pickleball is just the wild wild west man it's freaking nuts yeah sounds like it
yeah it's crazy like if i if i was yola i'd be so mad right now for like usap lets me sell a
bunch of paddles and then they're like actually this is not not cool anymore that's why you just
go with friday man that's right that's why you buy friday pals you're not out 280 dollars
do you uh probably like 150 though 160 not even brad not even really try one crisp benjamin and
you got two paddles in your back it's gotta be crisp are they just like bland like uh black and
white paddles though probably but as if they're beautiful designs as if as if what was beautiful
designs that'll make you stand out on the court.
What was something the episode we recorded recently, you're like, oh, I need Scott here for this.
He would know this.
What was it?
Someone's old name?
Someone's an old teacher or something?
Shoot, I don't remember.
It was one of the teachers you had who was cool or was good.
Scott, Lisa Crooks?
What's that?
I'm on the phone.
Hey.
Oh, whoops.
We got multiple podcasts.
I forgot to go pick up Palmer at school.
Scotty, who was your, uh, who was your fourth grade teacher?
Um, Mrs. Crooks.
Yeah.
Was she awesome?
I liked her.
I feel like, like Jake was like, name name a name a teacher it's like the the best
teacher in the school like everyone loved her i was like i feel like mrs crooks was very loved
yeah mrs hannah my sixth grade teacher was awesome too oh yeah yeah she was i think she
was very universally loved yeah that's true yeah you had some good yeah scott do you want me to
call you back or you want to chat about filming tonight?
Yes, I had a couple things I wanted to chat with you
about this evening.
So yeah, give me a call back when you're done.
Okay, great.
Do you have a way to tether you and Sam together?
That's kind of a funny question to ask.
Yeah, I have a couple resistance bands
that I think should work and be hilarious.
Okay, perfect.
Yeah, we'll be done here
in 45 minutes or an hour or so.
I'll give you a call.
Yeah, just give me a holler when you're done.
All right, Scotty. Love you, buddy.
I'll give you a call when I'm done.
All right, have fun, boys.
When we're wrapped up, I'll give you a call.
Okay, bye.
He didn't get it.
He's like yeah yeah okay
that sounds good
I gotta go pick up Palmer
yeah okay
whatever
anyway
it was so fun
having time in there
the whole time
it was so fun
getting to do an event
just with Scott
and Isaac and I
there was no
no one from
the other part of the Friday team
was there
and so
it was just fun
feeling like we were
putting this whole event
together ourselves and hosting everyone and organizing it all and making
sure everything was running smoothly.
And Isaac was so funny because we're setting up this kind of table,
right?
When people walk into the kind of like greet them,
we're setting up all the paddles.
Let's check off your name,
make sure you're supposed to be here.
Let's give you a free paddle,
yada,
yada.
And Isaac just kept on purpose being funny,
just had this like superiority complex.
He's like, I mean, so kind of in the industry that I'm in,
I'd like selling things behind a table.
This is pretty standard.
So yeah, people arrive late and there's a lot of,
not everyone shows up.
So I'd be surprised if everyone shows up.
Yeah, when they say card,
it's a short term for credit card.
So what I do, let's have one of us talk to them
while the other gets the paddle. That's just something I learned. Let's, let's not turn our back on the customer
too much. There's something called a bottleneck. Uh, and you're going to think it's like what that
girl's been drinking out of for the last three hours, but, uh, it's not, uh, so that was really
fun. Just kept, kept talking about the table selling industry, which was funny, but it was
a good time. A bunch of ghosties showed up. I didn't even know. Well, first of all, just some friends, uh, Christine, uh, carrying Christine. She was there.
Uh, her friend Lindy was there. Um, Cody Davis drove all the way from Branson. Oh, wow. Cody
Davis, big time ghosty Hannah Warner was there. The Ming's were there. Kelly Campbell was there.
There was another ghost. I never even really got her name and she left early. So I didn't really
get to like conclude our time together,
but whoever you are,
who brought your sister,
that was funny.
You came cool.
I didn't get to talk to the Ming as much at all.
And then when I did find that he was like,
Daniel,
sorry,
I haven't got to talk to you much.
He's like,
we got to go.
I already heard Sarah dislocated her shoulder.
No,
it was like her first swing.
One of her first swings.
Oh my gosh.
Just like there was like a non-contact injury,
but just like swung her arm on like an overhead or something
and just popped out a socket.
That's why it's the Wild Wild West.
Hey, quick draw.
Oh, man.
And so I was texting him afterwards.
We refunded them.
It just felt so bad.
And he was like, dude, no worries.
It happened to her dad.
It happened to his dad.
It's a family thing.
I was like, wow, what a thing to be predispositioned.
You have, yeah, you have like these.
We got weak sockets in this family.
Just shove it back in.
Yeah.
How do you, like, how do you just get a doctor to do it?
They went to like an urgent care or something
and they like popped it back into place.
Sheesh.
So yeah.
Sorry, Sarah.
Thanks for coming for five minutes.
It was good to see you for a bit.
So they just, like, they were there for very short. Yeah. It was good to see you for a bit. So they were there for very short.
Yeah, it was like their first game, one of her first swings.
Arm is just dangling.
Sarah, that's no fun.
Still good to see him, though, and all the ghosties who came up.
So it was fun, fun little event.
Kelly Campbell, her husband works for Quick Trip,
and so I need to DM you, Kelly.
Well, I'll just ask you now.
Hey.
Kelly, I was at Quick Trip the other day and chicken taquitos only $1.29.
All the other taquitos to something.
What's going on with the chicken taquitos?
It's just a promotion or what?
All of a sudden, like they're down to like 2003 prices or something.
I don't know.
What's going on?
$1.29.
I was like, this isn't right.
Dude, election year.
We called it. I immediately, I thought of, I need to text Kelly about this. She't know. What's going on? 129. I was like, this isn't right. Election year. I called it.
I immediately, I thought of like, I need to text Kelly about this.
She would know.
I got to get to the bottom of this.
She'd give me the scoop.
She used to work at Oklahoma Joe's.
And so she would tell me things about that.
That's fun.
Yeah.
I've never had a chicken taquito from Quick Trip.
Are they good?
Delicious.
And they're cheap.
It sounds like.
All the, yeah.
They'd been going up in price just like everything else in the world for a long time.
And yeah, to the point where it used to be like one or two for $2. And then all of a sudden it
was like two for $4. And it's like a, that's like the deal. And now it's back down to one 29. I had
to like double take, I was like, what, what the heck? So election year, man, shout out Kelly
Campbell. She's a proud supporter. She always, every time we drop merch, which we have new merch.
Ghost Runners Our Life.
And yeah, she buys it every time.
Yeah.
She's great.
She showed up in ghosty merch.
Yes. Which was awesome.
There you go.
I met a ghosty at McLean's the other day.
And it was one of those times where it's like,
oh, it's so, well, first of all,
I didn't know if he was a ghosty or a jean shorts guy.
You never know when they come up and talk to you. I think I do that my driveway yesterday.
Was that right after I left? Yeah, that guy. What did he say? He so he been like walking around,
I think, trying to say hi to me. But then he I kept talking to you guys. I don't know.
He started off past his house. Yeah, I know. And then he followed us back.
He followed us. Yeah. Oh, wow. Okay. Yeah. It was kind of interesting vibes at first, but I think he's a very nice guy.
But he just, he didn't say anything about how he knew me.
He's like, dude, I've been needing to come by.
And I was just like, oh, what's going on?
And then he just keeps walking, keeps walking.
He's like in my car with me, basically.
And I'm like, what's up?
And yeah, just like, uh, Jake, right?
Like, yeah, what's going on?
Yeah, my name is Jake.
Shake his hand.
He doesn't tell me his name.
He's like, yeah, I thought you were Jake.
I couldn't figure it out for forever.
I was like, and what?
He like wouldn't like get anywhere.
Just like so ambiguous.
Yeah, he's like, I kept trying to think of like who,
how do I know you?
Like, where do I know you from?
And then finally figured it out.
So.
Right on.
Well, I'm glad you came up and introduced yourself.
Nice to meet you friends with
t-rob what's your name oh sorry yeah it's you know whatever it's all right so sorry how do you
know me right uh trey oh okay are you are you friends with trey or like you just watch trey or
you yeah that's so funny i just a little more edge, but it's like my driveway and like a little, I don't
know.
I don't like this as much.
You're on my turf.
In public will be crazy friendly.
Yeah.
But just like walking like a long walk.
It's like, all right, I'm going to go into my house now and you're going to know exactly
where I am.
Yep.
Yep.
And you're a little bit odd.
No, I'm just kidding.
All right.
Sorry.
No, no, it's great.
Like this guy, he was just like, I'm a big fan.
And so you don't know what that means.
Awesome.
Also, I've learned that I don't know
if I can trust anybody that says that.
They're rarely a big fan if they say that.
Sometimes they are.
Sometimes it's like-
Rarely though.
Oh, I know everything about you.
Other times it's like,
I didn't even know you had a podcast.
You do standup?
Yeah.
Dude, I'm a huge fan.
When did you start doing standup?
I think you could crush it at standup.
I didn't know you guys lived in Kansas City.
It's like, we've done multiple Chiefs videos, you know, whatever. So I did ask him, I'm a huge fan. When did you start doing stand-up? I think you could crush it at stand-up. I didn't know you guys lived in Kansas City. It's like, we've done multiple Chiefs videos.
Yeah, whatever.
So I did ask him.
I was like, are you a Gene Shorts fan, Ghostro's fan?
And he said he was a Ghostro.
And like, anytime somebody says that, we're in.
Yeah.
We're boys for life.
You know about my wife.
Yes, exactly.
You know that my wife's pre-
Oh, gosh.
Hey, happy Mother's Day.
Jeez.
I thought you were going to wait until after Portugal to announce
I'm going to be the boy who cried wolf
When we actually are pregnant
You were going to take a picture with you and her
And Taylor Swift together
And that was going to be your baby announcement
That was the plan
I'm in my baby era
That was the caption, we had it all planned out
We need to make a bet
And if you lose the bet, that needs to be your caption
In our baby era In our baby era Well I think I talked about the podcast We had it all planned out. We need to make a bet. And if you lose the bet, that needs to be your caption.
In our baby era.
In our baby era.
Well, I think I talked about the podcast.
This is our baby moon.
We're not having a kid, but it's still before the baby.
Any vacation is a baby moon.
Well, usually a baby moon is when you're already pregnant.
That's what I'm saying.
What are you?
Did you just say it, dude?
Dude, you just.
Oh, my. You don't know it, but you just admitted to? You just, Oh, you don't know it,
but you just admitted to it,
dude.
You don't even understand.
Oh my gosh,
dude.
They're going to,
they're going to read into that.
You calling it a baby moon.
They're going to read into that.
They will read.
Anyway,
I think this guy's name was Scott.
I'm sorry if it's not this,
he was a dad.
We'll call him a dad of ghosties who also listen around.
Anyway, thinking he was just in town, whatever.
He was from Dallas, came to McLean's because we talked about it,
and just happened to see us when he was there for like 20 minutes.
No way.
And that's when it's like a little bit mind-blowing to me,
when it's like, holy cow.
I don't come to McLean's every day.
Like how many people are coming, hoping to see us, you know, or like, I do think it's the,
if you are coming into town, it's the best option you have to see us. Yeah. Gotta be. But still,
we're not there that often. No, but it's your best option. Yeah. That or church, I guess,
you know, like that's true. Or my driveway, my driveway works. I'm there every
day around the streets of Shawnee once a day. Um, but it was one of those things. It was just
like, that's crazy, man, that you're here for, yeah, just a small amount of time hoping. I don't
know if he was even that much. Like I want to come see Brad or maybe it was just like, I want to come
to McLean's. But anyway, I was just so happy for him. Like, cool. I was like, yeah, I'm driving
back to dallas after
this so i was like that's awesome that's so cool and you know i asked about his daughters he's like
they're more like you know silent fans they're not super you know in the mix and i love hearing
about those people because he's like her name's hannah creech you probably know yeah you don't
know uh but yeah anyway so it's just fun to hear. We have fans that aren't actively talking to us,
which is fine with me.
It's just fun to hear.
That's how I am a fan of things.
Exactly, totally.
That's how most people probably are.
Yeah.
But anyway, it was fun to meet them.
That's so cool.
Yeah.
I love meeting Ghostrunners people.
I know.
That's the best.
We have a game this episode,
and we have a lead-in to this game.
I think most people enjoyed the speech jam rap last Wednesday,
two Wednesdays ago.
And,
uh,
we talked about our friend Gabe,
who was the,
just the greatest person to listen to unsolicited.
He sent us the Brad night,
this video yesterday,
I watched five seconds of it.
And I was like,
I got to stop.
I got to just wait to listen to this on the podcast.
So out of nowhere, Gabe just said,
hey, I see your voice memo using the Speech Jammer app.
No pressure if you want to use it on the podcast.
We would like to use it on the podcast.
All right, guys.
I wrote that this is all out.
And I'm going to do my best to get through it.
Sorry if I go over the time
and I can't do this very fast.
So here we go.
So here we go.
Hey, Jake, Brad, Brad, and then timing.
All right, I got this.
Gabe, check in here for your from Hana.
Just wanted to send a little voice memo and say thank you for the podcast community
and for a fun time at Gulf Shores.
You guys and everyone on this trip were awesome and we're grateful for the memories.
As a traditional voice memo goes,
I'll ask a question.
I figured since I sound silly,
I'll ask you guys a serious question.
It's my favorite question as anyone I meet.
So, what has God been
teaching you lately?
I didn't know he asked that.
Alright.
Thanks, guys.
Oh, my
gosh. The few times
where he doesn't talk like that is what's
so funny to me like all right i
got this i got this i got this what's been your favorite pop-up kid then oh the l's get him so
bad that's so funny game i'm crying all over again he's so normal and then you put the app on
oh my god i promise i'm trying hard i'm not embellishing at all. Yes, I'm trying so hard.
Oh, that's so good.
That makes me want to go visit him.
Just have the app on the whole time.
Seriously.
Oh, that's so funny.
I just saw Rachel's home.
She probably just heard me giggling like crazy
and just has no idea what I'm laughing at.
Oh, Gabe.
I didn't even know he asked such a serious question
on the speech share app.
Like I said, I listened to the first five seconds.
I was like, I got to save this.
Well, I'll go first then.
What's God been teaching me?
How about that?
And then you can answer if you think of something.
And then we'll do more speech jammers.
Yeah, the plan was to do a game with speech jammer.
What's God been teaching me?
I guess recently, so like our
church, it's been so fun. We've been going through first and second Samuel, just chapter by chapter.
And yeah, I've always been like a, or maybe not always, when I was a kid, elementary, high school,
whatever, I was always like New Testament. I'm a big New Testament guy. How much wisdom can
I get from the Old Testament? Stupid of me. It's amazing how it all points back to Jesus.
But I guess the overarching thing is, especially having Henry wanting to figure out a name for
a boy, we've been reading about David and I'm like, David is just the man. David did so many cool things.
David, a man after God's own heart, all these different things.
But then the more you read about David, the more you're just like, okay, David was messed up.
He had some flaws.
Just like everyone else, man.
I mean, his family, I didn't even know.
Honestly, I'm not super well-versed in everything from the Bible.
And learning about David and his son, Absalom and like all these different, like, I mean, his sons are killing each other and like
just wild things. And you see David's reaction to all that. All that to say, I think sometimes I
find myself, whether it's within the Bible context or outside of it, you know, idolizing people or
like putting people on a pedestal, essentially,
like being like, no, that guy knows what he's doing. That guy, I want to be like that guy.
And you can do that for the man after God's own heart, David in the Bible. But at the end of the
day, if you are putting anybody on a pedestal besides Jesus Christ, then it's, they're going
to let you down eventually. You know what I mean? Like they're not, there's not, they're not perfect. Jesus is the only perfect person, the only person worth
truly like committing everything to. And so that's been kind of in my head of like, okay,
I'm probably putting this person that I respect a lot, whether it's somebody at church or friends
or whatever, like on this pedestal of like, man, they're great. And they do have Christ-like
qualities, but at the end of the day, there's nobody that I should be, you know, putting on a pedestal besides Jesus. So that's my,
that's my thing that I've been learning about recently. Also, I don't know, uh, more like
literally today was reading through Romans nine. And then I was listening to a podcast that Jeff
Bethke, Jeff Bethke was on Danny Austin's podcast, which is kind of fun to listen to.
And he was talking about Romans nine.
So, um, I won't get too far into it, but Jeff wrote a book called fighting shadows alongside
John Tyson.
I'm really excited to read it.
Um, but he gets into like all the Greek aspects of this, this passage.
And, um, yeah, I don't know.
I won't get too far into it, but basically like there's this, I think it's Greek or one
of Hebrew.
I'm not sure what all the languages are from this passage, but like they talk about shadows
that they see and the shadows that the word for it is like basically the same word as
eclipse to where it's like the eclipse.
The idea of an eclipse is like something that is smaller than the thing behind it. But because of the perspective that you have on this smaller thing, it looks like
it's blocking the big thing or something like that. And so the idea of like these shadows,
these things are not nearly as powerful, as big as God, like lust, power, envy, all these different
things that men are going through. Fighting shadows is
like all about like taking that thing that seems like it's overpowering our lives, you know,
controlling us more than God, removing it for the Lord. So I'm excited to read the book,
check it out, Fighting Shadows. Shout out to Bethke. Cool. Dang. Good answers.
Did I give you enough time? Yeah, I had something. Okay. I feel like recently,
something that I've been thinking
more about or even being convicted of is like maybe you feel this too like i i get so motivated
to work so hard to provide not only for like my current family setup but even like future family
setup i'm like spoiler no you know but it's like i i really see it's being a thing where like i
want to work so hard the next like five years. That way I could be around so much
for like the important years
and like set these systems up
to where I can continue to make money
without having to be in 80 different cities
across the country or run, fill in the blank.
Yeah.
But I think something I've been like,
been reminded of recently
or even been convicted of is like,
hey, you still have a family,
like you have a wife today.
Like rather than feeling like I need to be providing for our future or be providing in
general, it's just like, Hey, what I want you to do is like, just be there. Yeah. Love Rachel,
serve Rachel today, whatever that looks like, like forget about like what you think you're doing or
what you think you're, you know, providing in like a financial sense. And it's like, there's,
there's other ways you can, you could support a family, right. You know, outside of just like totally paying the mortgage. Oh dude. Yeah. I, I think,
yeah, just in general, there's plenty of very wealthy families out there that are very
dysfunctional. That is not the, that is not what being a provider ultimately means. Obviously
that's a facet of it, but yeah, it's so hard balancing. I think everyone has like the struggle to lean one way or
the other between like future and like present, you know, like I'm way more like, let's just
worry about today. I have no idea what I'm doing in February and Sioux falls. You know what I mean?
And then other people are like, what's your five year, 10 year plan. And I think that's smart to
think that way, but also like, yeah, don't think so far ahead
that you're like forgetting about neglect the needs of today and the needs of tomorrow. Totally
like that biblical. Yeah. So anyway, I'll just say thanks Gabe for the questions before we do
speech jammer apps. Uh, so yeah, let's do a, let's do speech jammer catchphrase. Yes.
It's a great idea.
So if you don't know catchphrase is basically, it's just, we get a phrase and we try to describe the word to the other person, but we're going to do it while talking speech jammery.
So let's get the noise cancelling on.
Let's jam up.
Okay.
I clicked on mine.
Do you want me to give the clues first,
or do you want to give a clue?
Let's go back and forth.
Let me get on there real quick.
I'm not...
No worries, ma'am.
I'm going to try so hard while you're doing that
to talk normally.
I think you just got to go fast enough.
It's the end.
It's the end that gets you.
You have to be thinking about the next word at all times
and just keep going fast and just keep talking and talking
and then it's normal.
Good job, Ed.
Okay, let me pull this up.
That's the hack.
Gosh.
Yeah, you nailed it.
You have to talk so fast all right hey hey we're speech
jam i couldn't tell you couldn't she said i couldn't tell what are you doing the next few hours
showering and picking up why Why? Getting a little hungry.
What was the last word?
I think time and I may get a little hungry.
I'm hungry.
Is it bad?
Yeah.
It's pretty bad.
Hungry is a bad word for you.
You don't have to get anything.
If you've got stuff stuff stress you're doing
Okay, no if you're doing stuff that is fine
No shower no
That sounded bad
No worries.
Thanks, Rachel. There's another option on this. Did you get the link
for this thing? Oh, I just
Googled catchphrase word generator.
And you found some good stuff?
Yes.
I can't really hear you very well,
though. Make sure you speak up.
Okay. I don't want to talk
too loud, and that makes it easier
for me.
Got it.
But I'll get it. Okay.
I'm going to do idioms and sayings.
Idioms
and sayings. Great.
I'll go
first. Great.
This is...
I feel like this
phrase got really popular during bruce
almighty that's the way the cookie crumbles that's right nice this is the same website that i went to
on my own oh the game gal. Yeah, but I don't see...
What did you say?
Funny phrase?
Wordplay idioms and sayings.
I don't know where that is.
I'm at thegamegal.com slash word dash generator.
That's what I'm on.
But the only options are like
catchphrases or movies
and the holidays, stuff like that.
Wordplay.
Oh.
That's my
bad.
I apologize about that.
Gotta go fat.
Okay, you go go this is a phrase
like it's like
we all
are all all in
we're all all in
and hey only one person
is gonna
be the victor so in this style
we call it...
Doggy Dog.
No, it's almost...
All for one and one for all.
Close.
That word is in it.
All?
Yes.
All in this together.
No, it's like we all agree there's only one victor.
So this game, hey, it's the last one.
Winner take all.
Winner take all.
Yes.
Okay.
Hey, why are you doing that?
You're taking all the attention, and you are going to...
I'm going to...
You're going to rob me of my lightning.
Oh, good.
Steal my thunder.
I said my, but you got the idea.
Yeah, I think I said a lot.
The L's and R's.
They just never end.
Okay.
This is a phrase.
It makes me think of John Quincy Adams,
but I don't think he's said that.
This is like when your family,
you have the same traits as your dad.
Well, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
Yes.
Who was the guy the apple fell out of his head?
Washington.
Washington.
I knew it was one of the first four presidents.
Does that sound right?
No.
Isaac Newton?
Yeah, I think so.
Same guy.
I don't think, either way, I don't think it happened.
I think it's some kind of...
Oh, wait.
Yeah, Isaac Newton.
It was the gravity.
Yeah, but I think that's made up.
Cherry, cherry, cherry.
Sure.
Let's do a couple more.
I never heard of this idiom before.

Not bad, but
good fence, good.
Next door.
Down.
Good fence, good down.
Who lives next door?
Oh, good fence,
good neighbor.
Yep.
And in between there,
another word for create.
Good fence makes a good name.
Yes.
I never heard that either.
Nor I, brother.

He just can't like.

Okay.
If you want to try it.
This is a Sporkle quiz.

What if we put Tymon in the seat and Tymon gets to go viral?
Not for this one.
Sorry, Tymon.

It might be tough.
Six years old.
Okay.
Uh,

Jake,

Okay.
I was five years old.
Trying to think through what I was up to five years old.

So Facebook for sure.
Facebook coming in at number two.
Let's go.
I think we're done with MySpace, but Instagram isn't popular yet.

What else makes sense?
What would the genre be?
ESPN.com.
ESPN.com, number 20 on the list.
Okay.
So is there.
We're cracking them.
I don't think it would be a social media
unless there's something I'm stupidly not thinking of.
What else do people do?
Stupidly not thinking of one?
Yeah.
MySpace still on there?
Nope. Instagram's already on there? Nope.
Instagram's already on there?
Nope.

Twitter!
Twitter, number 10 on the list.
Oh, I thought I had it.

windows live Twitter. I did bad. That was a poor performance. I'm sorry. I will say on this, uh,
on this thing, it, uh, it does give you the type of website next to it.
I didn't give you that.
I think if I would have said video sharing, you would have got it immediately.
Vimeo.
While we're here, do you want to do 2014?
See how much it's changed?
Oh, sure.
Okay.
I guess you're looking at them.
Yeah, I don't know.
I've kind of already done this list a little bit.
Would Tywin be able to get it?
Now that you know the word bank a little bit?
Sure, you want to try, Tymon?
This would be fun.
For a clip?
Yeah.
Don't mess up, Tymon!
Go clip yourself.
Should we do more than five?
Because some of these are repeats.
We'll figure it out, Tymon.
You can do any of them.
I'm going to do an audio version for both top five and top ten just in case.
Wow, look at this.
Tymon's two, Brad's three.
Okay.
All right, you ready, Jake?
Oh, I would do this opposite.
Brad's on the left, I'm on the right.
All right, got it.
All right.

Can you name the top ten most visited websites in 2012? Can you name the top?

Gosh.
Uh,
okay.
Just,
uh,
this one's like,
it's described as the internet portal.
Ooh,
I think I know it.
Internet.
Very bare bones website
that's what i'm thinking of internet portal interesting i'm thinking like a i don't have
the answer yet that's it's not like it's like a video chatting thing would i say is google meet
a thing there's no way no i was eight years old in 2014 i wasn't doing doing anything. Uh, it's probably things that are
still common today though. Yeah. Okay. What are some websites I use? I already said YouTube. Um,
this is harder than I thought. You're okay. Uh, another very popular, uh, social media,
Twitter, Twitter, number seven on the list. Okay. Okay. What are more socials? Are there
any socials that I'm missing? Like social media? We'll call it a social media.
Some people just call it the front page of the internet.
Just like a place that you have
discussion boards and things like that.
What am I, Reddit?
Reddit, number nine on the list, Reddit.
Never heard it called that, front page of the internet?
I think that's like its tagline.
Interesting. Okay.
That's the slogan.
I don't use Reddit too much.
Okay. What numbers am I missing?
You're missing number five, six. i believe i figured out for you it's just a uh
place where you can learn about things and people and places and stuff like that
like an online like an online dictionary but not dictionary like uh i don't know online oh
wikipedia wikipedia yeah very good um okay was that the portal is there one more portal no more portal. Okay. This is a portal. If it's what I'm thinking of. Yeah.
Not much going on in this website. Right. It's pretty simple. A lot of people like it.
No, I don't think I would. Uh, I was thinking, I was thinking Craigslist.
Craigslist is number 11. Ah, that'd be bigger. Uh, this is something similar to Google, but just
Yahoo. Yahoo. It's still number five on the list. 2014.
Wow. And then last but not least, uh, think about business. Where do you do business online?
Business LinkedIn, business networking, linkedin.com. Number 10 on the list.
Interesting. Very good timing. Thank you. Yeah. Tough job. I got, I got none of your words.
Yeah. We go back and forth so quickly. So fast.

Good job, Jake. Thank you. Thanks for having me on.
Thanks for being on, brother.
Thanks, brother.
Thank you, brother.
We've already been going an hour.
We're just having fun.
Having fun.
I'm back, guys.
Here's your phone, Tyman.
Thanks for filming. I was like, I didn't do,
I don't know. Thanks for filming. Here's your phone. Um, Jake, I would love to do some, uh,
responding to the ghosties. Okay. Can we do some of those? Yeah. Um, first one I'm going to talk about is, uh, posts on Facebook group from Tim Gilroy, uh, who posted a picture of his daughter's,
uh, presentation from her school says my daughter had a project at school to do presentations on a
state. One was assigned Kansas. So she had to put in two references of her favorite podcast.
I don't know. I didn't, I didn't think I had this goal in life, but now that I've seen,
it's like, that was like a goal fulfilled in life is to like represent Kansas in some way to somebody. It's just cool to see. Like when I think of Kansas,
I think of ghost runners. I'm like, that's really cool. Yeah. So I just want to shout out,
shout out to Tim and his daughter. Um, it's just awesome. Like you see a little ghosty in the,
it's like the Kansas state flag, the right underneath, it's like a little ghosty logo.
And so anyway, awesome. Awesome to see. It's like, that's fun. I mean, it's a state flag. They're right underneath. It's like a little ghosty logo. And so anyway,
awesome.
Awesome to see.
It's like,
that's fun.
I mean, it's kind of like Stratford,
Missouri.
Like when people think Stratford,
Missouri,
they think of Jake triplet,
you know,
it's kind of a cool thing.
So yeah,
the whole state of Kansas,
dude,
I know.
Well,
that's the fun thing about being from Kansas.
There's like,
there's not that many people to compete with.
So we don't have to beat that many people to like be represented here.
Uh,
anyway,
just a fun thing to see there.
There was a little bit of a Saner Psycho thread here from Mallory Thomas Gleason.
She says, Saner Psycho, three levels.
One, my husband just popped one of these packing peanuts in his mouth and ate it.
That was a wild one.
Number two, he gave me one and told me to try it, which I did, and it was gross. And I spit it out. Number three, his old coworker kept a bowl of them on his desk
to munch on. Yeah. I mean, I remember someone commenting too. They're like, it's just Cheetos.
It's the same thing as Cheetos. Yeah. I, yeah. Uh, Eric Schreier, the cornstarch ones are basically
Cheetos puffs with Cheeto dust on them without Cheeto dust. I mean, if that's the case, don't be eating Cheetos. I don't, I mean, psycho times
three is my answer to this question from Mallory. Just unbelievable. That's such a wild thing to do.
There's so many food options. Don't eat packing peanuts. Eat something better than that. There's
no way that's like just really good for your system either.
Yeah.
How's that come out?
Yeah.
I don't know.
Styrofoam.
Yeah.
Is that?
Yeah.
Gross.
The fact that some guy had like them on a little like cup in his, on his desk is wild
to me.
Yeah.
That's purely psycho.
That's hard to justify that in any form.
Yeah. A hundred percent. Don't eat packaging. Don't eat the box.
Next one. Shannon Cox posted on our Facebook group. Our win of the week is we has arrived
to great Wolf lot. What great Wolf lodge say that in the speech jammer app on our vacation that you
guys raise money for he's on top of the world. Thank you so much, you guys. So if you don't know, uh, Shannon's son, Tyson, uh, has been battling cancer. Um, and I believe is cancer free. Um, and one of the ghosties,
um, John Luke cave started a go fund me to raise money for this vacation for this family,
um, to go on. And it's just one of the cooler things that our podcast has done i think is real cool um
supporting them so shout out to tyson tice bug as they call them dies bug so yeah just really
really cool uh that's fun t-cell lymphoma i believe is what tyson had and so anyway
another thing to respond to is we had a little people pleaser thread yes alexandra
posted said what's the most people pleaser thing you've done?
I used to have a coworker, a sweet old man, who would bring me lilacs from his garden every week.
I am so allergic to lilacs.
I'd be struggling so hard.
Sneezing, coughing, bloodshot, itchy eyes, all of it.
Yes.
So I'd place them on the desk that was further away from me, which didn't help too much.
One of my other coworkers threw me under the bus in front of him by saying, Hey, are you really allergic to pollen?
That's why you can't stop sneezing.
To which I had to awkwardly explain why I never said anything initially when my coworker started bringing the flowers.
Which is great.
Nancy Gardner said in college, I didn't correct my professors who called me by my first name.
Even when my parents called me by my middle name.
I, of course, made a friend in college who called me by my first name.
Eventually, she started hanging out around my parents and other friends. I had to let her know that I never went by my first name
so that's wild it's not just a professor but like you have a friend calling you by the wrong name
like that's fine she doesn't ever need to know Leah Bridges said purple is my favorite color
and also a color that's associated with lavender I hate the smell of lavender but my own mother
keeps buying me lavender scented stuff because it's purple. I'm 41 years old and I still can't believe she doesn't already know that I don't like the smell.
She can't even tell her own mom, like mom, please don't give me this anymore. I appreciate it,
but please don't. I really like this one from Becca. I was 23 and went to master cuts in the
mall to get my bangs trimmed before a trip on this trip. We were having family pictures made
with my husband's family. The girl cut my bank so short that she freaked out and literally ran to get her manager who basically just even
them out because you can't put hair back on. It was awful. I tipped her 20%.
That's the best part. Yeah, I did tip her. Yeah, I tipped her. Yeah, I'm not a barbarian.
Yeah, it's so good. The chiropractor's office I went to regularly,
this is Alicia Thompson got a new receptionist at which she would call my name. She would pronounce
the Spanish version. Huh? Alicia, Alicia, Alicia. I didn't have heat. I didn't have the heart
to correct her. So got about three months for about three months. I would be called the wrong
name in there until someone that has worked there longer called me one day. And she heard them say my name correctly,
Alicia, Alicia. Yeah. Taking a stance on it. It's probably Alicia. It's kind of funny
unless she's like Hispanic herself or something, but, um, yeah, there goes the thing to respond to
is, uh, Anna Buffini. Yes. Another notch down.
She and her horse have qualified for the Olympic trials.
They've made the short list team.
I don't know how it works exactly,
but it seems like they've narrowed it down to eight or so.
And I think the final three compete in the Olympics.
Maybe there's some alternates and stuff.
But anyway, she's gone as far as she can up to this point.
Her horse is called Fiontini. Fiontini.
Yeah. Or as the chiropractor's office would call it, Fiontini. Fiontini. Yeah. So hopefully
Anna keeps going. Let them watch. Let them watch. Paris, baby. Let's go, Anna Buffini. Come on.
Okay. A few more. Let's see. Heather Lee, just legend of the podcast,
jingle writer. She got married. She got married. And not only did she get married,
but there were four other ghosties that came to her wedding. Yeah. Who know her from the podcast.
Right. Like who did not know her before listening to our podcast. Aubrey was a bridesmaid.
Like at 12 or something. I think so crazy. So cool to see the intentionality that they've continued to have in
friendship.
Um,
it's just fun to,
yeah.
Connect people in that way.
Uh,
beautiful bride,
Heather Lee,
beautiful,
beautiful bride,
beautiful bride,
beautiful bride and her bridesmaids.
Um,
let's see a few more.
Oh,
I like this one a lot.
Uh,
this was from Allie Moose.
She said driving today, and as we
pass a fire station from the back seat, my five-year-old
declared, those firefighters
are spicy.
He then proceeded to ask me if that was
funny and if we could listen to the funny guys.
I almost peed myself laughing.
I like the idea of just being, like,
naming our, we're not the ghost runners anymore.
We're the funny guys. Put on the funny guys.
Also, I like telling a joke and saying, was that funny?
Was that funny?
Yeah.
Do you mind telling me if that's funny?
One through ten.
You're not laughing, so I don't know.
Or just like a pass-fail funny?
Great, thanks.
Was that funny?
And then I guess we'll just do one more here.
Katie Beth Edmond.
Win of the week.
My husband told me he's starting his first GRKC episode.
It's the, I get, it's the, I got kicked off a plane. Uh, what a great one to start with. Yeah.
After years of mentioning inside jokes, the joy that comes from this gang, I'm so thrilled. We'll
be able to talk ghosty. And then with multiple comments below it, Lucy Kaiser, my husband started
listening this week too. He started at the beginning and is already up to episode 10.
Uh, so it's just fun. It feels like there's a little bit of a trend going right now where husbands are listening.
The boys are here.
The boys are here.
We got some sausage on the grill, huh?
Used to be cheese.
Now it's sausage pizza.
Yeah, that's right.
That's right.
So anyway, shout out to the husbands out there listening for the first time.
That is really fun.
Thanks for that being currently trending with us.
Yeah, absolutely.
Pretty neato.
Yeah.
Not bad.
Let's see.
I think, should I do this episode or with my dad?
Give the Bondi update.
Let's do it now.
Great.
Okay.
I will, it's not even official yet but i'm like well by
the time this comes out it probably will be yeah when is that ever steered me wrong i mean just
like this will probably work out surely like what's the worst that could happen uh i'm gonna
do this quick uh as i can but basically the reason i haven't updated the podcast with bondi bowls is
because nothing official has happened there's been been nothing to announce. It's been so much back and forth. If you think back to like
January and early February, I had a location I was so excited about. We signed the license
agreement. Like it was happening. We're so excited. Like maybe we can launch this summer.
And then the company, we were like the landlord, the ownership group just kind of like went cold
on us. They didn't, they stopped responding. Couldn't get ahold of them. They were dragging
their feet, you know, various times they'd be like, well, I don't know. We're just kind of nervous about the concept now. And we
initially really liked the ASEE concept, but I don't know. And so then I would make this big,
long email, make them this big, like infographic PDF and like pitching myself, pitching ASEE.
And then they're like, ah, you know, then multiple weeks, there'll be times where they're like,
hey, we'll get back to you on Monday. I'm out of town this week. Like you could send emails out of
town. Sure. I have before it can be week. Like you could send emails out of town.
Sure.
I have before.
It can be done.
It just felt like they were really not wanting to work with us.
But then I'm like,
well, I don't really want to like
go find another spot.
Like I like this spot.
So yeah,
it was a good to figure out
how to navigate this.
And then they come back later
and like,
well, now we're kind of nervous about you.
Like you're like a first time
like restaurant owner.
You're new to this industry.
Like, I don't know.
We're kind of nervous. Then I create this whole thing to like pitch myself and
why I think this will work out. And then that doesn't really move the needle much. And then
it's been like two months now or like nothing has happened. We have not moved one way or another.
They just are not committing. And so then Bailey, the owner of Bondi Bowl, she has the idea. It's
like, why don't we send them like some, some stuff? Why don't we send them like some granola?
I get their address, track it down,
send them a bag of granola.
The day they got it, they called us that day.
Like, guys, this is awesome.
The gesture, even just the quality of the granola,
guys, it's so good, really means a lot.
And I was like, this,
we were trying to sign a 10-year lease.
It's gonna be worth a half a million dollars
and a bag of granola is what got us a callback.
This is interesting that this is how this business operates. Kind of a cool lesson. Yeah. I told
Rachel this and she's like, you need to write a book and that's going to be a chapter of the book,
bag of granola. You should have a bag of granola chapter in the book. So I've got that in my head.
All right. I need a bag of granola chapter, but that was a fun aspect of it. And so they were
like, Holy cow, we're in. They were like, we'd love to have a in-person meeting with you guys
next week. I'm like, this is what I wanted the whole time.
Just a chance to prove myself in front of you.
I'm tired of emailing.
I'm tired of using a real estate broker.
I want to get in front of you and prove myself.
And like, yes, we'd love to have a meeting.
And so I'm like, Alex, who's going to be a business partner slash investor.
I'm like, you drive up.
Bailey, all the way from Oklahoma, you drive up.
Let's do this.
Let's show them who we are.
Oh, yeah.
We go and we're like, we're pumped to like win them over. We go to to this boardroom. It's all official. We're looking nice, big old table,
lot of chairs, lot of windows. And the guy walks in and he's like, hey guys, I figured we're going
to be working together. Might as well meet you in person. I was like, oh, didn't need to bring
them in here from Columbia in Oklahoma City then. But also like, dude, you could have emailed that.
You could have just told us we're in. I thought we needed to win you over. So either way, it ends
up being a good meeting. I felt a little bad that they made the drive. We're like, this is great.
They love us. They want to work with us. We're even talking specifics in the meeting. We're
talking grease, what is called grease traps, all this stuff. And I mean, I'm taking pictures. Like
I want to remember this moment of like when we're, we like basically made it official.
They send over a lease. We agree on all the terms I'm having Steven Swick, real estate,
ghosty and real estate lawyer. Look at it. Uh, he, he spends hours working on it, gets us back
to a red line. We're going back and forth. I, and I'm in New York city and I get a call and they say,
Hey, uh, they have redacted their lease offer. My real estate agent's telling me this.
She's like, I have never seen this.
And I've been doing commercial real estate 15 years,
never seen this.
I talked to everyone at my firm.
They've never had an ownership group
redact a lease before.
This is truly unprecedented.
I'm so sorry.
What do you want to do?
And I was like, honestly, I'm kind of bummed,
kind of frustrated.
This has just been so much back and forth.
It's been so much work and we haven't even started yet.
I get so tired of this. And so it was kind of just frustrating.
I texted Rachel. I said, is God trying to tell me over and over again, not to do this? It feels
like every time I think it's happening, it's not happening. And so I didn't know what to do. And
we just kind of bombed along these times of also getting phone calls. This is the anesthesia story
where I'm like having to have these phone calls and I can't talk. This is part of it.
But eventually, where we've landed now,
catch everyone up to speed.
I love this location so much.
I didn't want to go back to the drawing board.
I didn't want to find a new location.
Oh, and the reason they redacted the release is they found a different company
that was going to pay them more.
And I was like, it's just a business decision.
But they said, we still really like you guys.
We want to offer you a parking spot in our parking lot
if you want to do the food truck route.
I started to think about this.
I'm like, I didn't even consider permanent food truck.
I thought it was just mobile food truck
or permanent storefront.
I was like, well, I want to be permanent.
Didn't even think about this middle ground.
And so now I'm all in, I'm really excited.
Bondi Balls Kid City is going to be a permanent food truck
in Meadowbrook Village, 95th and Nall.
Brad's ready to clap, go ahead.
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Sorry, I'm just trying to get through all the details. is going to be a permanent food truck in Meadowbrook Village, 95th and Nall. Brad's ready to clap. Go ahead.
Yeah!
Yeah!
Sorry, I'm just trying to get through all the details.
So yeah, I think by the time this comes out,
everything will be signed.
It'll be very official.
Steven Swick, while we were recording,
just emailed me the new lease.
So I was like, all right,
sorry you're having to do this again.
I'll pay you again, though.
Yeah. And so we are having the truck shipped up to kansas city the day we get
back from portugal okay and then the day after that uh i will drive to go get it inspected
should be easy peasy and should be up and running um kind of as soon as we want unfortunately i do
go back out on the road to do comedy like june 8th and 9th yeah so leaning towards now tenderly
like a june 10th launch.
Okay.
Potentially.
So if anyone wants to work it,
if anyone wants to come visit,
come see it,
come manage it,
maybe Tymon's brother will be there.
Rachel will be there a lot.
Yep.
So I'm excited.
Hattie maybe?
Hattie's a maybe.
Just, yeah,
excited about the truck.
It's way less scary of an investment,
way less risky.
Yeah.
And it's going to become just Rachel and I's thing now. No other outside investors, no small business launch. It's Rachel less scary of an investment, way less risky. And it's going to become just Rachel and I's thing now.
No other outside investors, no small business launch.
It's Rachel and I.
This is our newlywed business project venture.
We're really excited.
It's going to be a great summer.
That's the update.
Thank you for those who've asked.
So no dim check anymore?
No dim check.
Okay.
Called him.
We have a great relationship, and he totally got it.
I was just like, hey, initially, this is going to be a massive undertaking financially,
and I needed some help.
And now, really, all I'm buying is just a food truck.
Right.
And that's about it. There's not even any rent. I just pay him a percentage of sales. So
very, very little risk.
Perfect.
So I was just like, hey, I think I want to do this by myself. And he was like, dude,
totally understand.
Cool.
All good.
Let's go, man.
He's still great. We have a great relationship still. Everything's all good. Bailey's been
texting me while recording. I'm just getting real excited.
So Meadowbrook Village, once again, is like 95th and null 95th and null okay right by the big
biscuit yep right in front of kansas city ballet i really hope all this is going to come true now
that i'm saying on the podcast it should though it should i mean worst case scenario you guys try
to go find bondi bowls you have to eat eat big biscuit, you know, big biscuits. Great.
You got to eat big biscuits. So yeah, right.
We're going to go down to Oklahoma City for two
days just to get trained and learn every little
thing about it. And I'm just getting so excited. It's gonna

have the most educated food truck workers in all
of the country. Two master's
degrees. Homeschooler. And
Tymon's brother. Yeah.
Isaac's sister, Sadie, she's going to work in it.
Oh, you told me you were texting her the other
day and then we got a phone call, so I didn't know
what that was about. Perfect.
Anyway, yeah, I know
some people like those updates. Mitchell Bowser was like, dude,
any kind of business update you have, I love hearing about it on the podcast. Oh, dude. I know some people like those updates. Mitchell Bowser was like, dude, any kind of business update you have,
