I love it. I think it was awesome. Thank you. Yeah. So it was, uh, I love it. I think it was awesome. Thank you. Yeah. Um, the, the person we got lunch with yesterday, still teasing,

still teasing. Who was it? Um, first thing he said, dude, it's on your eye. What is on? What is that?

Which I got to give him credit. Like if someone's in a cast, I'm like, Oh, they probably get asked about their castle. And I'm the last thing I'm going to do is ask him about their cast. But it was great. We got it out, out of the way, right off the bat. Immediately. It's like, Hey, I'm Brad. oh, they probably get asked about their cast all the time. The last thing I'm going to do is ask them about their cast, but it was great. We got it out of the way right off the bat. Immediately. It's like,

hey, I'm Brad. Nice to meet you. Whoa! What in the heck? That looks fresh and quite sexy, too. Oh, boy! Crikey, that's hot! Nice young bloke there.

Okay. All right, then. We got Nice young bloke there. Okay. All right, then. We got lunch with an Australian comedian. All right, we're teasing it. He's from Springfield. Oh, my. Anyway, yeah, this is from basketball. And Brad, just tell them the story of basketball from the get-go.

Well, end of the story first. We won the game. So, boom, baby. And this was a big, pivotal game. We were 2-1, 1-1 under Daddy's record. I didn't play in the first game, so I was like, we've got to win this game to really reclaim my pride. You're kind of plus-minus. Yep, and it was a 6 o'clock game, so therefore, family showed out.

We had a lot of family. Oh, so many family. And I'm talking like seven people that were there. Your kids, your wife. Yeah, that's five of them. My wife, Glide's fiance. Glide's fiance.

Maybe by the time they're listening to this, Glide's wife. Hey. When are you listening? Oh, by the time you're listening. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're right. You're right.

Yeah, they're about to get married. Like, depending on when we post this, they could be married. They could be, well. Time it up to Yeah, they're about to get married. Like depending on when we post this, they could be married. They could be. Well, time it up to you when you post this. Exactly. Yeah. So that was fun.

That was a great time, you know, to have the kids there. I'm a little bit, you know, conscious of the kids, not like thinking like, hey, we can't. I was still yelling and like hooping and hollering and stuff. But there was one time the uh, the kids were sitting, Addie and Bo were sitting on the bench cause they came with me. And then Catherine, the younger kids came a little bit later and Isaac said something. Uh,

and, I said, Hey, my kids are right there. That's all I'll say. I said, Hey, I mean,

he was still on the bench saying this. I said, Hey, Hey, my kids, my kids are right there. They probably didn't hear it, but just be careful.

I really loved... I'll just describe it, but I took a video. It was fun to sit on the bench when Hattie and Bo were still on the bench, and I took a video of some play that happened, and I think you'd been telling, like, hey, if we score a basket, you should clap. And so I think Glide

scored, and then I panned down to them, and Hattie's like clapping. I was like, Bo, where's your supportanned down to them and had he's like clapping i was like bo where's your support why are you clapping he's like just shrugging i get it you don't know him like you know us so yeah why would you clap for glide bow you know he boasts four years old he's just on the cusp of like uh losing those like little baby features but he still has like the chubby little, you know, when he hit, when he claps,

they're kind of like pause clapping together. They're not quite like boy hands yet. You know, like he still got that little, like the, the, the fat on the top of his foot. You know,

it's so cute. It's so whatever. It's so, oh man, just, I, that's so cute. So who'd we play in basketball?

We played the team that we played the first week when I wasn't there. Uh, who yeah, had the, had the coach. If you remember, they have the coach, they were intimidating at first and quickly on, on, on intimidating. Um, the first half was pretty fun, pretty easy. It's like we were having the time of our lives. Yep. I threw a no look alley-oop to Isaac that he dunked. It was sweet. Rachel said it was one of the only plays she saw all night. And I was so thankful she did. I'm glad that she did too.

Cause every once in a while, I like, I said something to Catherine about what happened later. I don't even know. She like saw it. Like she's just so in her zone talking to the kids and talking to Rachel and Lauren. Maybe that was that the coolest play you've ever had in your entire life?

I mean, it has to be. It was awesome. So cool. It was a no-look, one-handed alley-oop dunk to Isaac. The way Jake's game is is pretty cool anyway. Like, you have those cool passes and, like, honestly, to the point where, like, everyone on our team needs to keep their head on a swivel because you never know when he sees you, when it's coming, how it's coming.

Yeah. I mean, cause every once in a while he'll fake you out and man, that was just describe how, how you did. It was a fast break. Yeah. Was it? I don't even really remember. I just kind of, I mean, you were on the right as a rec lead basketball break goes.

You were, you were pretty open. Thought about kicking it it out to you i'm so glad you didn't corner my eye i saw i was like i think isaac's cutting the basket hey it's wreck league let's just throw it up there yeah one-handed and thankfully did you kind of like throw it underneath your left arm it was like uh yeah it was uh it went from bot from low to high. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And it could not have been in a more perfect spot. Isaac was feeling springy. Yeah, he was bouncing. I mean, he dunked that thing with ease. Yeah, yammed it.

And yeah, it was a fun feeling. I was like, I never played with anyone in high school basketball who could dunk. So I was always wanting to do stuff like this, and I didn't have enough athletes around me. It was so cool. It was fun. So the first half was a blast. Yeah, we're having fun.

We're beating this team, just like last time. And it wasn't i i was a little bit like to myself like are we taking this seriously enough because maybe like we're not winning by that much here oh i thought it's something else so last week we talked about the scorekeeper the guy who could not keep score and we're about to do like the tip and uh me and glide are like well at least you got a new scorekeeper and brad's like that's the same guy like he's just black brad like no he's got a hat on that's the only difference i was like that is what a hundred percent this like guys like yeah he does kind of look like the other guy was like because it is the same guy i was like no it's a different guy this guy's friendlier and i mean two minutes into the game like hey uh the clock's

not running like all right it's the same guy yep there was quite a few uh mistakes once again by this guy yeah he gave them some of our points but still we were we were winning we had a new ref oh yes we had we had one of the refs that were the same that i still got mad at a few times and we had a new ref that i got mad at a few times. They're really not good. Like always. Sometimes they don't even blow the whistle or they like will blow the whistle and not explain what happened. Yeah.

They're just, they just don't care. We're like, wait, wait, it's our ball. Oh, like there was one time,

literally the entire court, like the entire, both teams were on the other side of the court. I know it's your ball. And we were like right under our basket and the team didn't even come by. They just passed me the ball and I laid it in on your second try. I was, that was purposeful for the record. I was going to see how many times, like if anybody was going to come trying to be funny, that was funny. Yeah. I don't know what they thought. Yeah. The refs are just, they're just lazy. I mean, like, you know, they don't run down the court.

They don't care. No. I don't know really how you fix the problem. You just pay them higher. But we're already paying quite a bit, too. So I don't know what the solution is. It's like, I don't know, 80, 90 bucks for six games. Yeah.

It's not cheap. It's not like, you know, times that by however many people are playing. 12 people at a time. They're making some money. That's a good point. So. Yeah. But first half was fun. We're having fun. We're making jokes.

Everybody's... Oh, I know what happened in the first half. This whole episode is just going to be a basketball recap, but it's fun. Yeah, Peter. Peter! Peter made, I mean, like one jump shot to start the game. And for whatever reason, you know,

we just love joking around. So like Peter Shooter. Oh, don't leave Peter open, guys. Guys, give it to Peter. Give it love joking around. So like Peter shooter. Yeah. Oh, don't leave Peter open guys. Guys. Give it to Peter. Give it to Peter. The offense revolves around Peter. Yeah.

And Peter also played into the joke by shooting it every time he got the ball. I mean, it's like a game six clay Thompson. You know, have you ever seen those highlights of like, there was a time clay Thompson scored 60 points on 11 dribbles. It's one of the coolest, like highlight real video. That was Peter. You get it. You shoot it up there.

Go get your rebound. He was open for T-Fair. Yeah, he was usually open. Wasn't making a lot of them, but he made a few. But he made a couple, and yeah, it was just funny. Just like, guys, if Peter doesn't get the ball, it's a waste of a possession. The last two games, I think he was the first one to score. So I was like, I think Peter's just our scorer. He kind of

unlocks the basket. And we knew he was probably going to be thrown up by, you know, halfway through the first half. Get him some reps while he's still feeling good. So, but what about, tell him about the end of the half. Do you remember that? I don't remember it. Okay.

So the end of the half, you know, we're having fun. Jake especially is just hilarious. Like, and so there's 40 seconds left. Yes, exactly. You know, timing for non-basketball people out there like yourself, 40 seconds in rec league basketball exactly. You know, timing for non-basketball people out there like yourself, 40 seconds in rec league basketball is probably like each team maybe gets the ball one more time. You know, like maybe 20 seconds for one team, 20 seconds for another.

And if you're a real fundamental basketball team, you might even be like, hey, let's hold for the last shot here. Let's not even give the other team a possession. Right. Just like being smart about things. Jake joked, what did you say? Four shots? We're going to get three more shots.

Three more shots. Garrett, come on. We're going to get three more shots. Three more shots. Garrett, come on, we're getting three more shots. We need three more shots. We need three shots by the end of this half. And so obviously that's a little bit of a joke. But I, so. Yeah, that would mean there needs to be five more possessions. Right.

Which doesn't seem realistic. So I think we had a shot. They got the rebound. We stole the ball from them. I think we made a shot in the inbounds pass. Then we stole it. Got up another shot. We stole the ball from them. I think we made a shot in the inbounds pass. Then we stole it. Got up another shot. We had two in 10 seconds.

And then, yeah, I think they shot something, whatever. And then we call a timeout with two, four, four, four seconds left. Clock didn't stop. So I, that was me, dude. So, so the clock didn't stop till it was like 1.5. And I was like, Hey, 5.1. What the heck? We need 5.1 seconds. They gave us 5.1. It should have been like four. I was like was like hey 5.1 what the heck we need 5.1 seconds they gave

us 5.1 it should have been like four i was like what 5.1 5.1 um so we get the ball isaac gets fouled right oh yeah i forgot about this part and makes his first free throw and then and we were kind of like jokingly like like why why are you shooting the ball pass the ball to peter what are you doing yeah we were making fun of you're being so selfish right now isaac is actively shooting free throws yeah brad now you're in the lane just like dude get a hold of yourself who do you think you are with your 48 inch vertical pass the ball to peter be a team player we were reaming isaac isaac makes the first free throw takes the free throw, and does the gunner duckworth treatment, chucks it off the rim,

gets the rebound back, turns around. Who's wide open? Peter. Shooter Peter. Clank. Miss. But we got four more shots off in 40 seconds, and it was hilarious. I would have forgot to talk about that.

That was so funny. Oh, yeah. Missing your second free throw is the new meta in basketball. I think so. It's not that hard to miss it off the front of the room we're two for two i want missing second free throws to be good in basketball and i want more laterals in football that's another thing i'd like for football is i would like them to hire each team yeah you use a roster spot teach them to be your long snapper to get some use out of them but they're also it's yannis onto the compo and on long field goals

that he's at the back yeah yeah to block it or up front to block it what do you think's more value oh you're saying like at the goalposts you're at the goalpost on a long field goal or at the goal line on a you know line of scrimmage on a regular field what do you think is more valuable that guy or somebody who can eat well that, that guy, I took three options. That guy, somebody who can long snap it really far. Okay. Listen to this.

I don't even know if this is allowed in the rules, but long snap it really far and, or a kicker who can kick the ball even like extra far. If he's got enough, like running start, because if you can, if you can long snap it farther, I think that most kickers can kick it farther than they're doing right now that you see the kickoff. So how are you doing that? Right. Good point. Why don't we, why don't we move the holder back three yards?

Is it feels like, but Kerr can't kick a 70 yard or because he's only got three steps, but if we can get an accurate long snap back there a little bit farther, he's got seven steps. All of a sudden he is booting 80 yarders. This feels like you just fixed football a little bit farther. He's got seven steps. Yeah. All of a sudden he is booting 80 yarders. This feels like you just fixed football a little bit. Why aren't people doing that? And you know what? We don't have to have punts. We don't have to have a punter.

Then you take that guy off the roster for the extra long, extra long snap. Yeah. Extra long, long snapper. I do wonder, do you have to be seven yards behind your snapper to kick a field goal? Why is no one ever moved it back?

There's gotta be a reason. I don't think so, because there's such thing as a drop kick. That's true. So maybe it's seven yards max. I don't know. I don't know. Why not snap it longer? But would you rather have that guy?

You think that? That feels more valuable, because then you're always going for points every possession, practically. Yeah, that's a good point. Yeah, I want the extra long snapper. I think normal long snappers could do it. They're already doing it 15 yards for a punt.

It's just muscle memory. I could do it. Long snapping? Gosh. You don't even have a guy lined up in front of you. All you do is snap. It's illegal to have a guy hit you. Real talk.

Do you think we could be long snappers in the NFL? If we committed our lives to it. I'm serious. I don't think I have the frame to ever get big enough to be a long snapper in the NFL. Oh, because you have to run down and tackle. Yeah. They would probably go after someone else, but you could.

If it's got to be one of us, it's on you. Or Tymon. Tymon's still young. Tymon could do it. Bulk up, baby. He's drinking a protein shake. Fair life. Good for you. He's on his way. He's like, it's just chocolate milk. Anyway, first half was great. Three shots at 40 seconds. seconds second half we'll call it little chip the opposite i don't know what happened so i first started noticing this i am dribbling the ball down the

court i'm just bringing the ball down normal and the other team coach all of a sudden all of a sudden just starts like chirping at me specifically like Like these guys can't dribble. These guys can't dribble. Yeah. I was like, where is this coming from? Yeah. They, they, yeah. They were like verbally like, yeah. Whatever. No big deal. The next time down the court, Hey, make this guy dribble, especially 22. I looked down. I'm like, dang it. Wait a second. 22. That's me. I'm the main dribble i i am better at dribbling than anybody on my team okay it's true i can't you are the point guard of the team uh yeah i feel decently competent in that still and anyway i just couldn't believe i think shortly after that the other team was shooting free throws and i was like man i have never been heckled by an opposing rec league coach before

and brad goes i've never seen an opposing rec team coach before. And I think there was like a little bit of trickle down, like the coach, like brought up the, the aggressiveness and the animosity. And I think it like trickled down to his like team. Cause then all of a sudden it became a very aggressive, very not fun. Second half there, there was one guy on their team who really went after glide. Yeah. It felt like at halftime they said, Hey, these reps aren't calling very many fouls. So just let's push them around a little bit and see what happens. And let's foul them. I think they had six fouls in the first, like three minutes. They had so many fouls. And like I said, the reps weren't calling fouls. So

therefore you had to really foul them all of a. Credit to Glide because he got just mugged and assaulted every time he was down there. And a lot of times they weren't calling it. There would be one time they did call it and they were like, after the play, this guy, significantly smaller than Glide, is like shoving him afterwards. Peter had to step in. Peter kind of shoved him back too. Peter's got a little dog in him. Peter's got a score and a dog. He's a score and a dog.

He's a little bit of Bolivar in him. Yeah, I didn't see the guy pushing Glide. I just kind of heard the whistle, and I look back, and Peter's just pushing him. I was like, oh, snap. What's about to happen right now? So that guy got a technical for it. Yeah.

And at this point, things have really escalated. I mean, the coach is like mouthing us, cursing at us. The guy I'm guarding is cussing at me. The guy guarding Isaac is cussing at him.

The guy guarding a glide is cussing at him. I mean, it's like, and we are just like, hey, we're cool. We're cool. Glide shooting his technical free throws.

I go over to like Catherine, Lauren, Rachel, and I say, so sorry I came to this game. It's not normally like this. I said, I haven't seen a technical foul in years.

And we just got one and it's getting out of hand. So sorry, this is the game you came to, Lauren. This is like, they're not normally like this. Yeah. Because it's just, yeah, so tense. And then probably three minutes later, I'm guarding a guy. And anyway, just like all night, I'm just beating. If you play basketball, like I'm beating the guy

I'm guarding to the spot. I'm quicker than anyone I'm guarding. Like I'm always getting, I know where they're going before they do. And I get there before them. Yeah. You did. You said that to the ref. I was like, what if I'm quicker than they are? What do you want me to do? Like, why do I keep getting fouls called? And anyway, this guy, I don't know if he necessarily did on purpose, but just very out of control and amidst all the other aggressiveness just caught me with an elbow on the forehead. And then I go down and it was one of those things where I really didn't feel any pain, but instantly Isaac's giving me like concussion protocol and glide is holding my neck up. And so I'm like, how bad am I injured?

If glide is like holding my neck. Yeah, it was, it was scary. Like it looked scary the the first so yeah he you like yeah you stand in for this charge and i'm looking at the ref like call the that's a charge i know you didn't call it last time but he just knocked this guy over if anything else just an offensive foul this guy just shoved my friend and he called the charge i was like good good and i look back at jake and it it looks like Jake is an extra on gladiator or 300 or something.

I'm like, what in the frick? Like, I thought it was your eye, like your actual eye. Like, I was like, what just happened? Like, I don't know. I just saw- We're gonna have to call him Patch. He lost it.

I just saw blood and I was like, oh my gosh. And it was so funny because like, yeah, first of all, Isaac's all of a sudden gray's anatomy over there. Like, he's just like, he's like, don't worry, Jake, you just have a one to two inch laceration on your right eye. He's like asking for scalpel. Yeah. Hey, uh, it's an ocular injury over here. We're going to need a, yeah. 500 CCS, uh, losing by permanent. I'm like, what? Like, who are you? Cause you know, Isaac's had all that experience with getting hurt, especially on his head and like stitches and all this stuff.

And then it was so funny. You like, this is classic Jake. Like you, you felt okay. And so I think your way of like showing that to everybody was like, just verbally, like not fine. It's really fine. Like you're just like talking it all out. Like, no, it's really not that bad. You're like making jokes. Like ask number nine, if you thought that was worth it, ask him if that was worth it for him.

I was mad. He's like, I, oh, I, it, it looks way worse. I'm, is it bleeding pretty bad? They were like, yeah, yeah, yeah. And that's when I was like, you have a laceration one to two inches. Oh man. It was just, it was great. Like, that's probably what I would do too. Like, hey, just show everyone that I'm okay right now. And I really did feel okay because I don't even think if it was like adrenaline. I think it just like, was it that bad of an injury?

Garrett Gibson, physical therapist, he was like, if you ever watch UFC fights, like they bleed so much from their face. He's like, but they're really not that injured. You just have a lot of like blood in your head. And so he's like, it looks way worse than it is. And so I was like,

I really do feel fine. I don't have a headache. Like it feels like nothing even happened to me other than like just a lot of exiting your body. You were bleeding a lot. I never gushed blood before. It was an interesting sensation. It felt like I was just sweating a ton.

Yeah. Cause I could feel it running down. I bet that's not just sweat. Yeah. People immediately were like, you're gonna have some cool scars man it's gonna be cool yeah so did you hear katie kid of the uncorrected opinions like you're pretty worried about scarring yeah and i was like no i'm excited about scars i wasn't should i be scars are cool man yeah i uh we had to shoot uh outdoors yesterday for friday pickleball for like three hours and everyone's been telling me like do not let this get in the sun and i was like well i got two options i could wear like a bucket hat for four straight videos essentially like just a

month's worth of bucket hat content um i was like luckily i remember it i was like oh i could put like a band-aid and like sunglasses and kind of cover it up that way yeah because i didn't know if it felt wrong to just apply sunscreen directly to like a i probably wouldn't yeah i think that that's bad yeah yeah anyway so yeah i'm just like gushing blood for the first time in my life but feeling fine honestly like a little self-conscious about the attention i'm getting like i totally feel fine i that that's why that's why i noticed about you like you guys keep playing keep like no it He's like, no, it's fine, guys. Yeah, it's not a big deal. You're just joking about it.

Let me get some pressure on it. Here, it's like, I think you need more than pressure. You should go to an urgent care. Yeah, yeah. I felt bad. So everyone is so helpful. Glide's giving me an old towel. I don't need this towel anymore.

So I'm slowly using this to try it. Someone gave me an ice pack and doing all this. Well, by the end of the game, I've got a very bloody towel on my hands and I'm holding it up in poor Rosie. I think it was so scared of me. She was like, not as smiley as nor she was like hiding behind Rachel. I was like trying to like hide. I was like, Rosie, it's still me.

I'm okay. She was just like kind of looking at me. I was like, I'll just get away from her. This is confusing, I guess. Yeah. I felt bad that she was scared. Oh yeah. That's, that's part of life. Rosie, you got I guess. Yeah. I felt bad that she was scared. Oh, yeah. That's part of life, Rosie.

You got to learn. Yeah. If you come to rec basketball games, you're going to see somebody have a one and two inch laceration on their right ocular. It was fun having the kids there. I mean, they just act like we're playing the NBA or something. Yeah.

I waved at Bo at one point and he looked at me like, I've never seen him look at me before. He's just like, oh. He's like waving back like, I can't believe he just saw me. He acknowledged never seen him look at me before. He's just like, oh, he's like waving back. Like, I can't believe you just saw me. He acknowledged me during the game. So, yeah, it was interesting. It was mainly just it's a bummer. Those things happen in sports.

So I'm OK with that. It's a bummer that it happened. The situation we were in three minutes left up by 15. This team is taking it so serious. At one point, didn't you were like, even after I got hurt and all this commotion, we got to clean up all this blood. We got to pause the game for five minutes. I'm watching the game. And number 12 is still like elbowing you and like, even after I got hurt and all this commotion, we got to clean up all this blood. We got to pause the game for five minutes. I'm watching the game. And number 12 is still like elbowing you and like shoving you.

I think that was before you got hurt. No, it was for sure after. Oh, you're right. Yeah, you're right. After he shoved me a bunch,

I shoved him a few times. Like, as I was playing, like that was just, I'm a big guy. He's a big guy. I like position. I love,

I love playing other big guys so what I saw is they had scored the basket they're running back down to the court to play defense and like as he was by you like shoulder checks you and like yeah elbow into you a little bit I was like after the injury we're still doing this I don't I don't know why but for whatever reason I had a pretty cool head that night like some nights I get a little bit heated

I was like totally fine with this guy like trying to mess with me for some reason didn't weren't you like you said you, dude, I have four kids here. I think that was definitely part of it was like, cause, cause I was playing defense on him one time. This guy was as big as me, like a big dude. And I like, yeah, I got some, I put my arm into him a little bit and was like, just push him around.

I was like, push me back. I don't care. And so then there were a few times where he was just like, yeah, head hunting me. And I finally was like, dude, let's just not, let let's not do this i don't want to get in any fights like my kids are here i have four kids right over there you see him and like we like shook hands and everything on it and then like two minutes later yeah he's doing the same thing yeah they called i think multiple offensive fouls on him like for illegal screens on glide or you like he was just like yeah headhunting and even after the blood he's still doing it to be fair i was like subtly egging him on like like i i told him to

chill out or calm down a few times no one wants to hear that when they're already a little bit frustrated like calm down 12 you don't need to do this 12 like chill out 12 peter kind of looked at me like smiling but yeah it was just a that was the annoying part is the situation we were in the team we were playing against, and to be honest, the fact that number nine never came and checked on me, never apologized, the other coach seemed to have no remorse. The lack of remorse from other humans is what really bothered me. Because even when I left, they were in the parking lot.

I had to walk past their whole team to get to my car. No one said anything. And that's what upsets me. That's what got your goat? Yeah. I like to believe in people. i like to think everyone's good and then when you don't do that i'm like well that actually really upsets me that you are maybe not a good person there were a few guys that were like that said sorry to me like sorry for that like yeah there was a guy that came

over with his mom that was a nurse to look at you. Do you remember that? She was interesting. Hey, my mom's a nurse. And Isaac's like, stand back, ma'am. I'm a doctor. I got it. She had yet to look at the wound yet and recommended a band-aid. I don't know if you heard that. Band-aids are good. Band-aids are good. Hey, we call them band-aids for a reason. It's a great brand. We are sponsored in this episode

by Healing Waters International. Hey-o! Hey-o! Healing Waters. We're excited about it. It's a non a nonprofit dedicated to bringing safe water to the world. So here's what's going on. Hang with us, Ghosties. We got a lot we want to tell you about here. So here's the issue. Over 1.8 billion people, which is so many,

people rely on unsafe drinking water, and 3.5 million people, mostly children, die every year from water-related diseases. Any given time, half the world's hospital beds are occupied by patients suffering from a water-related disease. Also, three billion people still lack basic hand-washing facilities at home. 75% of the population in least developed countries lacked hand-washing facilities with soap and water. Yeah, so Healing Waters is trying to do something about it. They have these engineers, water technicians, designing and implementing community-wide water infrastructures built around a locally run central purification plant that removes all that high risk contaminants

not addressed by other interventions. Uh, they are leveraging local staff. They're trying to, um, get into the governments, get in working, getting, getting jobs for people, um, local staff supply chains. They're able to make safe water accessible to the most remote and marginalized people groups in this world. Yeah, and it's cool. They use local government and wherever they go to build large-scale water infrastructure that will forever alter the delivery system of water in these communities. So it's not a temporary thing. It's not like a go take some pictures. We had a good mission trip. This is like

forever changing the lives of people. Yeah. So we're partnering with Healing Waters specifically to fundraise for families in Chiapas, which is Mexico's poorest state. They live in extreme poverty. People there making $ making $12 a day, uh, working in potable water, just increasingly scarce. Um, some neighborhoods have running water just a few times a week. Just imagine that. Um, and so we are, uh, dedicating, uh, the next 12 episodes, next six weeks to, uh, fundraising $10,000 is our goal. We're going to do this together. We're doing it together, uh, in order to bring in order to bring potable drinking water to Chiapas. So Jake, tell them different levels that they can do here. Yeah. So there's obviously some one-time donations you can give. We've got a link in the description

for you, our specific link, but let's say you give $30. That is going to provide a child with safe drinking water for an entire year. If you want to go up to $150, that's an entire family with safe drinking water for a year. So pretty impactful. You can also give on a monthly basis, if you want $25 a month, uh, provide safe water for 10 people for a year. Um, and it goes on and on a hundred dollars a month, safe water for an entire classroom of children for a year, um, for, you know, grand total of $1,200. So, uh, the coolest part about this, well, I don't know, I should say coolest. One of the many cool parts about this is there's a ministry called Ministry Partners in Christ,

and they have pledged to match, specifically with Ghost Runners, up to $10,000. So our goal is 10,000. Hey, let's go more than that. But I think that's their first goal. Let's try to get ghosties to donate 10,000. That's gotta be matched. So when you donate to give a child

free drinking water for a year, that's actually two children. Yep. And just do this together. It's so cool. Yeah, so even if it's, yeah, that's going to be matched. So when you donate to give a child free drinking water for a year, that's actually two children and just do this together. It's so cool. Yeah. So even if it's, yeah, that's small, you know, smaller donation, larger donation, whatever helps. I think the answer is micro donations rather than macro big donator donors. I think it's just the more people that can donate, you know, small things, the better it's, it's amazing. I love watching my kids understand that, um, and be generous with what they're, um, tithing, what that's going towards. Uh, and so if you would like to donate, uh, the website is give.healingwaters.org slash ghost runners, give.healingwaters.org slash ghost runners. It'll be in all our show notes and everything.

He goes, these guys don't really know how to play basketball, is what they said in bleeped out words.

These guys don't know anything about basketball. That's what they kept saying. And then I would say he would shoot and miss it. I was like, we know that that's a miss. We know that you have to put it in the hoop to make points. Like we know more about basketball than you. Apparently there's just bad.

I mean, we're not that good either, but I mean, we're beating them by 15. It's like, stop taking it so serious. It was, it was a great,

just, yeah. I mean, it was a great, I just, yeah. I mean, there were times that guy looked me in the eyes and said, try that again. And I will F you up. I was like, what did I do?

Defense. Try that again. Yeah. Put your feet, put your feet there and then shuffle them a little bit. When I move, don't do that. It's not cool,

man. When I shoot, do not put your hands up like that. I would prefer it if you didn't. And when the ball misses like it does every time I shoot, don't go get the ball. Don't get in between me and the hoop. Don't go grab the ball.

Thanks. Yeah. It's not going to go well for you. And when you do that awesome alley-oop, don't say that was awesome. It's like, okay. Yeah, that's funny. Good times.

Should we keep talking about this or should we move on? Do you have more? Well, just then going to the urgent care and everything oh yeah i do want to hear about it uh so isaac was actually very helpful at this point in time because he he had so much personal experience it wasn't like i'd recommend this it was like i know diana you're gonna love diana if you go to advent health on johnson drive they're open till i want to say eight i'll double check but they they're really great you get in and out. St. Luke's is not bad either. They have a 1-800 number, but I'll give you the direct line. You're going to get an operator. Just press 3.

Trust me, press 3. That'll get you right in. I know you say I don't speak English. I only speak Spanish, but they will understand English if you press 2. Okay? No premium numero dos. Okay? It's fine. Diana's great. She's bilingual and yeah he was very helpful in like finding us a spot to go to um which is great and then we did get in and

i don't remember so i think once again i'm just trying to like i'm always trying to put myself in like the perspective of where i'm at and like thinking like these urgent care nurses and doctors they're always seeing people on like that person's like worst day. And I'm like, I'm not going to be some ho-hum patient. I want to be like my normal self. And I'm going to like make it fun for them. You're going to verbalize that. Yeah, you're going to make jokes.

So I don't know what I was in there saying or doing. But I know pretty quickly Rachel had to say, he doesn't have a concussion. He's always like this. He's always like this. She said that pretty much right off the bat. Oh, my remember what i was that's always a good side of like my wife might be a little embarrassed of me right now that's pretty funny rachel are you out there yes yes do you remember what was i saying when you had to say I didn't have a concussion. Oh, yeah.

You ever heard the word suture? Yeah. Okay. I never, just legitimately never heard that word before. It's doctor for stitches, apparently. And so I was just having fun. I was like, suture. That is crazy.

Sutures or stitches? So what do you call staples? I asked her like How do you spell that? And then I said Now let me write that down for me to remember later Okay S? Oh it's a C? You're kidding me

I don't know I was just being upbeat Oh yeah I said it... It sounded aquatic. Oh, yeah. I said it sounded like an aquatic term. That sounds like something you say in your sun... Go on your swimming lessons. Hey, we're going to practice our kicking in our sisters.

Right? It's like, what is happening here? Yeah. And Rachel... Yeah, Rachel's like, he doesn't have a concussion. He's just like this and uh so yeah i was having fun it was great um i'll tell you when i was not having fun two parts one when they have to like clean the wound essentially they spray i don't know what

it is you know some alcohol in there that was worse than any injury i've ever had the the alcohol spray in the wound. I would rather have a dirty wound. I'd rather it get infected. It's like bring on the bacteria. Yeah. I kind of remember that too. I got stitches.

Fun fact, I got stitches from the doctor who is the Duggar doctor. Duggars. So she's doing just fine. Duggar doc. A lot of patients there. How did you pull that? At Canicuck. I had, it was like the volunteer doctor there.

Oh, cool. It was like, yeah. So I was playing basketball actually. Nice. And my friend accidentally like bit me or something on my ear. I don't know how. I think it was his mouth. Bit me.

His mouth on my ear. That's all. And it was playing basketball. Yeah. Yeah. Stitch me up right was playing basketball. Yeah. Yeah. Stitch me up right there in the doctor's office. So yeah, she sprayed that like stuff on you.

I remember, I remember being like, am I a wuss or what? This is no fun. Yeah, it was, that was tough. It reminded me when I used to sell plasma and like the,

the finger prick is 10 times worse than the entire plasma process. Oh, the finger break. Anyway, that was one time when it really stunk. The other time was then they go into put some numbing on. Cause they're going to stitch it up. Yeah.

If you remember, got those redheaded jeans, learned it at the dentist. And I thought, well, surely this is different. I don't know. I was going to say,

is that the same? I don't know. Yeah. This wasn't a shot. This was like a numbing gel that I held on for 20 minutes. And so she's like, all right, well, surely this is different. I don't know. I was going to say, is that the same though? I don't know. Yeah, this wasn't a shot. This was like a numbing gel that I held on for 20 minutes. And so she's like, all right, let's do this. And she gets the light on. She's covering my eyes up.

And she starts going in. She's like, now, how's that feeling? And I'm gripping to the edge of it. I'm like, I don't know if the numbing has fully taken effect. It's fine. So how do you smell suture? Run that by me one more time. Just go ahead.

Oh, man. Aquatic, huh? You seen Waterworld with Kevin Custer? Were you, did you do anything with Isaac McDonald? McDonald. That was a little bit of pain, but she fully did one stitch with no numbing.

And I was like, so yeah, I don't know if it's going to, she's like, oh my gosh, okay, I'm so sorry. Well, let's get some numbing on you. And I was like, well, are we already halfway there? Yeah. Yeah. Is it just two stitches? And she's like, yeah. And I was like, I could probably power through one more. Bring it on. And then she was like, no. She wouldn't let me. She's like yeah and i was i was like i could probably power through one more bring

it on and then she was like no she like wouldn't let me she's like no no no we got to do this again so they had to wait another 20 minutes of new gel yeah um if if and when six months from now rachel's you know going through i'm just kidding if and when six and a half months from now uh you know she decides not to do the epidural, just be like, listen, I know it's painful, but remember that one stitch that I got? That was painful too, okay? And I was willing.

And I was- To do more. Yes. Okay, so I did that for you. So harness that. Remember that, okay? Remember how brave I was on that one suture? Wreckreck basketball.

Yep. Lowest level of competition. I did it. A team that hasn't beaten a team all season. I did that for you. The team that brings a coach, but they don't run plays and every time on defense, it's something new. I did that for you.

Yes. Yeah. So just another example. It kind of fires me up. It fires up my pride because I'm like hey I have a high pain tolerance apparently

because this anesthesia numbing doesn't work or whatever it is I have a low sensitivity to numb I like that dude whatever it is it's kind of fun to

it's kind of fun to be like you can't numb me can't numb me not on your first try go ahead and try and numb me man can't do it yeah

my wife's a licensed counselor yeah and also I've redheaded genetics so in both ways she tells me sad stories all the time Numb me, man. Can't do it. Yeah. My wife's a licensed counselor. Yeah. And also I've redheaded genetics. So in both ways. She tells me sad stories all the time. And I feel it every time. All right.

I don't get numb to those sad stories. Yeah. Emotionally, physically, you can't numb me. Yeah. Linkin Park's Numb album. Dude, listen to Numb yesterday. Because of that? No. You're you're like gosh i just need somebody to understand what i'm feeling right now understand this the original or the jay-z version so good

dude for whatever reason the last 48 hours i've only listened to well it started with a playlist called acon and t-pain best hits someone just put together. It's funny. You listen to the songs you listen to at a very specific moment in high school. All these stories are coming back. Oh my gosh, Dangerous by Akon. I remember driving through Branson for this basketball shootout with Trevor and Nick and all this stuff. A lot of shootout, Dangerous.

Dangerous, Lookout, Bang Bang. Yeah. So I've been listening to all that. And when the playlist got over, played numb with jay-z and lincoln park and so good listen to it on my way out of q doba i didn't really care for lincoln park until that album and i still don't know if i'm gonna listen to lincoln park by themselves but that album is awesome i never got into that style of music too much what lincoln park so yeah me neither what's really it i don't really even

know what's adjacent to lincoln park like creed or would you consider like creed and nickelback adjacent to lincoln park or like i don't know they're a little grungier exactly it's grungier oh you think lincoln park's grungier yeah i think so or you think they're poppier i don't know i think i think creed's a little grunge yeah i don't know what i'm saying like like which one do you think would be like like, recording in a dirtier studio? Good question. That's how I consider my grunge. Dirtiest studio, I'd go, like, Blink-182, Daughtry, and Linkin Park.

No, Creed. Creed's dirtiest. Creed's grunge. Yeah. But then again, Blink-182? I don't know. So, anyway, Tymon. Yeah. is grunge yeah but then again blink 182 i don't know so anyway timon yeah i feel like it was one of the first like really popular versions of mashups like jay-z who's a rapper obviously lincoln park who is more you know rock heavy rock they do some like rapping kind of things

in their songs sometimes yeah they just mashed up songs together and it was awesome that's great it just worked so well yeah Yeah. Better than most. So, and yeah, that one is a pretty catchy song. Numb and Encore. Yeah. It's probably the best or what about, yeah, that one is the best one. Yeah. Um, anyway, let's, so, so you've been listening to numb anyway, that came on yesterday cause you can't, can't numb me, but yeah, that came on yesterday because you can't numb me. But yeah, that's pretty much it. I got two stitches. It was fine. I will say the only day all year I did not run a mile was after the stitches. I hadn't ran it all day. Although we had shot pickleball in the afternoon.

And I ran like three miles. And then I played a basketball game. And I ran an additional two or three miles. So it's like I definitely ran my miles that day. But I didn't go out and run a dedicated one that day unfortunately the day of the suitors because i know that like we've talked about that before like hey you you're doing active stuff and you're like yeah but i still want to run a mile so like how do you feel are you going to consider that a like because i know it's like kind of a competition between you and rachel yeah is, are you saying like, I think I got a pass stitches. You got,

you got like a medical slip. Yeah. Medical exemption. Yeah. Yeah. So I think it's fine. I feel okay with it. Okay. I, I a hundred percent would. Yeah. But then again, I would have felt fine the other times that you were, you were like, Oh, but I still have to run because it's different than basketball or whatever. I'm like, no, it's not. Yeah, that's true too. Thinking about music versus music bringing you back to places, do you feel like music or smells are more nostalgic? You know what I mean? I think biologically they say that smell is the sense closest tied to memory. Okay. But I would say quantity-wise, biologically they sell they say that smell is the sense closest tied to memory okay um

but i would say quantity wise i have more memories associated with music than i would smell so it's like probably more likely to happen with music that's good because every now and then you're gonna smell you're like whoa third grade but that happens very rarely i think it's more often for music to bring something back could you describe or like if i just said like hey do you remember what blockbuster used to smell like? Would that trigger something? I don't think I could. I couldn't do it that way. Like, cause every once in a while, somebody will say like, I can smell this photo and I'll look at it and be like, that kind of makes sense. Like whatever it is, you know, McDonald's I'll have a certain smell or like, you know, whatever. Yeah. I got, what would it have been? I think just canes, uh, like a few days ago and I got it and you know, I bring it from the drive-thru past my face. I put

it in the seat and it was the wildest thing. Like if you hadn't told me I'd picked up canes, I would say, I will bet $10,000. That's a cheese pizza in my car right now. Oh, interesting. I don't know what, what they did or like where, if it was sitting next to a pizza in my car right now oh interesting i don't know what what they did or like where if it was sitting next to a pizza in the canes i was and i was alone in the car so i was like oh man i need someone else to experience this but go back around the drive through like hey you think about chicken today yeah but are you guys thinking about chicken cheese pizza back there what's going on did you did somebody have pizza the hut like who handled my chicken yeah when's the last time they had pizza? Right.

It was unreal, dude. I never experienced anything like it. Cause it's one thing of like, it's a pizza box, but there's chicken in it. You could convince yourself. No, I smell pizza. Yeah. But this was like straight up just a Cane's chicken order. I was like, it smells a hundred percent like pizza.

I don't know what's going on in my nose or with this chicken weirdo. But did it go away once you got home? Yeah. Let's start eating. It was, it was chicken. It was surprise. That was just, that was got home? Yeah. Let's start eating. It was, it was chicken. It was, that was just,

that was just chicken. Yeah. I was just thinking, I don't know what made me go down this rabbit hole in my brain, but I was thinking about Scott's childhood house. Yeah. Cause he doesn't like his dad doesn't live there anymore. His mom's passed away.

And, uh, and so I'm like, if that, if that house ever went up for sale, I would want to like walk through it. Like, cause it'd just be fun to like relive those moments.

That would be so fun. But I thought to myself, would it smell the same? Cause that's part of it for me is like Scott's house had a distinct smell in my memory. I bet Scott's house had a smell, good or bad. I'm not going to say it was great. I'm going to be honest. I mean, it was, but it would comfort the heck out of me

if I smelled it right now. Yeah, because it's so tied to your childhood. I mean, it was, but it would comfort the heck out of me if I smelled it right now. Yeah. Because it's so tied to your childhood. 100%. Yeah. Yeah. It was, Scott's listing. Scott's not ever offended by anything, but Scott, it was a fine smell, but it wasn't

like, oh, it smells like brownies, fresh made brownies and candles right here. And I wonder if Scott could go back into that old house. If he would be like, oh yeah, my house does have a smell now. I don't think so. I bet. I don't like, does my house have a smell when you walk in? You know what I mean? Like, like I know, you don't, you don't think about your house having a smell. Yeah. Yeah. Your own house doesn't, but every house has a smell. Yeah. Write that down. Write that down. Timon, you got, you guys have a smell at your house? Not that I can smell. Isn't it pretty likely it's just the detergent you use? I feel like that's pretty closely tied to the house smell.

That makes sense. People are just emanating that smell wherever they walk with their clothes that are all washed with the same detergent. That's my theory. The science checks out. I just ran the numbers. We're in.

Yeah, we're in. Yeah. We're in. But I bet the majority of my friends were using Tide detergent and their houses all smell different. Okay. Different air fresheners. That's fair. I don't know.

Just think about it, Tim. Okay. Catherine just texted me, whoa, whoa, whoa, which is always a little alarming. I was like, oh, I got to look at this. You accuse me of not knowing who harambe is excuse me i do not live under a rock nor have i ever lived under a rock okay sorry i didn't think that she was a big harambe captain vote for me on facebook please what's the uh current count there, Tymon? Let me check. Schmores last week.

Also, should I shout this person out? She said, this is the worst way to spell my name. Somebody misspelled her name? Can I shout out the comment? Yeah. Corey Salagian. Salagian. Tymon lost me with Harambe as I was thinking,

who is that? Brad goes, as I was thinking, who is that? Brad goes, Catherine's going to say, who is that? Brad goes, as I was thinking, who is that? Brad goes, Catherine's going to say, who is that? But she put an extra E in there. That's pretty close to her name. K-A-T-H-E-R-Y-N. Just take out the E.

Catherine. Catherine. Catherine. Yeah, right now it's, I'm at 8%. Brad, you're at 56. Am I going to win? Jake's at 36. Holy. Oh, Brad 56 am i gonna win jake's at 36 holy brad might be back cow that's awesome you had some classics in there yeah i did curious george mickey mouse

i felt good before though and i always lose what did jake say uh air bud whale that swallowed jonah wishbone and bat that started covid bat that that started COVID hurt him, I think. I don't know if those are... Yeah. I didn't need to win that one. I can't wait to vote for Bat that started COVID. It's one of my most famous animals. Anything but Harambe. I'm looking through the Facebook page now,

and I think this is now three different comments or posts I've seen about me making a joke about Sacagawea. What? I was like, during the M the Main Street Roasters ad, I think it was a good ranger's ad. Yeah, I was just being funny. Guys, Jake is really smart, so anytime he

ever messes anything up, it's on purpose. Not every time. No, every time! I knew that it was on purpose. I remember you saying that, and I was like, people are going to comment. What was it about? I feel like I was talking about famous Americans. I was like, people are going to comment. What was it about? I was just, I feel like I was talking about famous Americans. And so I was like, Lewis and Clark, Samuel L. Jackson, Sacagawea, all great men who have... That's what it was.

I'm just being funny. Yeah. I know Sacagawea was a woman. Well, there's conspiracy about that. Yeah. Did she exist? How old was she? Did you ever learn...

Did she go there on her own accord? Speaking of conspiracies, you mentioned about Babe Ruth being black. Yeah. Did you look into that one? Nope. Have you looked into it more? did she exist how old was she did you ever did she go there on her own accord speaking of conspiracies you mentioned about babe ruth being black yeah did you look into that one nope have you looked into it more no i just assume he is just assume yeah i say i say conspiracy theories are true until proven false um we had uh lunch with, with some friends yesterday, some new friends. Oh yes. Um, they're similar to us in size. Yeah. And it was, it was like kind of like looking in a mirror content. No. So yeah, you guys might know it's a, it's a podcast called things I learned last night. Um, Tim stone, Jaron Myers there, they live at kid city as well. They're

Christians as well. Well, I guess Jaron doesn't live in Kid City anymore. But he's from Springfield, lived in Kid City for a little bit. Now he's in Los Angeles. But yeah, they were in town, reached out, wanted to grab some lunch. And so, yeah, it was kind of fun just talking to other people in like a similar industry. Sphere. Sphere.

And yeah, we were only there for about an hour. And then Jaron had to go. Yep. Time and any guesses where someone might have to go if you're like only here visiting to record podcasts. He's in town from LA. Yeah. I don't know.

Okay. He's like, he's doing a collab with somebody. He's like, oh yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's a reasonable thing. Right.

Okay. All right. Wrong. Collab is a, yeah. That's a reasonable thing, right? Okay. All right. Wrong. Collab is a good guess. Why don't I give you more details? He had to go drive three hours somewhere. Okay.

How far away? He's from Springfield, you said? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Go visit some family. Yeah. Good. That one. Oh, great. Yeah, totally.

That's valid, right? Because you're like, you can't fly into Springfield. It's pretty expensive, right? Fly to Kansas City, do some work. Do your podcast. Yeah, 100%. Yeah. Wrong.

What else would he be doing in Springfield? I mean, he's, I don't know. What else is there? Think about. You don't know about what Springfield's known for, do you? Think about one of the most just meaningless errands you've ran in the past month. Errand? Is it an errand?

I don't know. What constitutes an errand? An errand feels like something you pick up. Have to do. He's like, I need to go get this certain kind of slushie at a gas station oh yeah there's like a really good kind yeah this one that was i i would respect that more that's a good guess that's a good guess certain kind of slushy that honestly yeah it'll make the orange cream in

kansas yeah exactly it's a come and go off chestnut Expressway. They got this orange creamsicle. Yeah, they told me that they double up on the syrup there and it shows brother. Correct answer is he trimmed off parts of his hair aka got a haircut in Springfield, Missouri. He went for his haircut. Yes, because

no one else can do it quite like this guy can. So yeah, we're at lunch. Yeah, he's like, hey, I got to head out. I got a haircut in three hours. I got to head out. He's like, dude, he's like, I've tried. I've tried a few times in LA, but it's just crazy expensive. And I was like, you're, you're flying here.

And then you're driving six hours round trip. What kind of gas is that, man? He's like, yeah, yeah it was like 50 at la i'm like great i don't care if it's 150 or in springfield he was like he's like well my parents do live in springfield so i see them so like okay i guess that makes sense a little bit dinner with your your parents he's and then he's like i will say they are giving him the haircut he's like no one can do it like my mom that's's right. She doesn't charge mama. Yeah.

He said also his parents are coming up to Kansas City in two days. So I was like, oh, they'll be here tomorrow. Yeah. This is not about your parents at all. This is about your haircut. I'm not going to feel shame for this. I was like, you should feel a little shame for this. Yeah.

We didn't like shy away from giving him a hard time. Like, hey, nice to meet you. That's idiotic. It was probably a minute into meeting him too. Yeah. Like Tim revealed it pretty quick. And I was like, all right, well, I'm going to say something about this.

Make fun of him for this. And to his credit, he was like, no, I'm proud of this. I'm like, well, that's fine, but you're wrong. It's still ridiculous. I was like, I got a barber here you could go to and do just fine. Yeah. I had just come from a haircut when I learned all this too yeah it's fine good ranchers up in this oh watch me

crank me watch me roll i've seen something dumping found in superman that beef watch why you give me that beef why you give me some heavy that's so good or what was that so good or what? Was that so good or what? Went down easy. Like American meat. American meat does. Wagyu! On them foreigners. On those internationals.

I feel like for women. Stylist. I told my stylist. She asked what i did for a living i said comedian and that she was like i bet he wants me to be kind of a comedian too and so she did like a five minute like chipotle bit for me five minutes yeah it went pretty long give me the highlights let's see what was it it was a lot like, you know, I'm walking up there, and sometimes I'm like, I hope they speak English. And I'm walking up there, and I feel like I see how much rice they put on, and I go, well, I'm going to have to ask for double rice.

And I see how much chicken they put on, and I say, guess I'm paying for double chicken too. Pause. Pause. Pause for laughter. Right? Right? This guy knows what I'm talking about.

You eat Chipotle? You you vegan that's okay you know i got a couple friends who they they will get protein and they will do um double chicken and i i don't know if it's i don't know if that's paying off for them because sometimes i look at my single chicken and i go that's almost as much as their double chicken yeah mm-hmm pause so yeah and I swear sometimes I will say just a little bit of sour cream they give me they give me a lot of sour cream hello yeah we're swimming in sour cream it's like an aquatic suture over here I mean it was just like that it was just like observations from Chipotle that it was like it just lasted a while it was fine but that's just a just like observations from Chipotle. It just lasted a while. It was fine.

But she said, man, wish I hadn't brought up Chipotle. Isn't it funny? And to nobody's fault, because I don't really mind this too much. But when people label you as the funny guy, then they are more likely to try to be goofy too, which is fine. Yeah, I like being goofy and funny and stuff, but like if, if I heard somebody who's a lawyer, I wouldn't, I object. Yeah. I wouldn't just, yeah. Be doing jurisprudence all the time. Like, like whatever, like saying all

these things, I don't really know what I'm talking about or like, you know, wait, based on someone else's career, you wouldn't just totally morph your personality for them. I would morph it a little maybe, but it's funny, isn't it? Like how, like with cop, like they hear like, Oh,

you do funny stuff. Like, well then buckle up. Yeah. Let me, let me be overly funny. It's like, no,

that's not really you, you know, like be yourself. It's all good. Yeah. Be yourself. I can be serious. We can be funny.

Whatever. Yeah. Yeah. Then, uh, I've talked before. The first time I ever went to this place place they offered me a free drink at 10 a.m and i've now learned that's complimentary so i get myself a little virgin paloma what is that exactly is that grapefruit it's grapefruit and i don't know what else probably it's a great grapefruit maybe

grapefruit and water it's great and the bartender bartenderist female uh drink stylist she kind of hit me with the double whammy because then she goes on a whole tangent and we just talked about float trips for 10 minutes probably so much float trip material another stylist walks back and is like oh you guys talking float trips and like yeah yeah she's like so let me guess you're going on one and i was, oh, you guys talking float trips? I'm like, yeah, yeah. She's like, so let me guess, you're going on one? And I was like, no, we're just talking about them. You would think. I don't know why we're talking about them.

So this woman, wait, can we go back? Is this woman a full-time bartender at a haircut place? I believe so. That's her main job? She's not a stylist that also tends to the bar every once in a while? There were three different women that never cut hair. They are like checking people in slash bartending. Interesting.

But I was the only one at the bar. I love the idea of you just like hunched over with your virgin grapefruit thing, just like acting like it's really getting you through a hard day. Two more, me and this guy. Got lunch with Jaron Myers later. Yeah, we all know how he is. He goes out to knock when you're competitors. No, the entire time you're on a river and the river pushes you down.

Is that what you're saying? You're saying you're going to drink less because your kid's coming this year? Okay. Oh, okay. I do think that's safer. I would suggest just drinking none. Don't drink. Yeah.

Probably. Somebody there is a volunteer fireman? Okay, well, yeah, I'm sure you could light off as many as you want. I don't know how it works, but yeah. Yeah, I wouldn't do it in the raft while it's going, but it would be a cool video. Yeah, I do comedy. Yeah, really funny.

So you're having a good time over there. Yeah, I kind of got double whammied with just like the filibustered, but it was fine. I can put up with it for a little bit. Sure, yeah. You know, just one of those. Just being talked at rather than like a conversation. But it was okay.

I like the haircut. It's great. Good. Told her stay away from the sutures. That's right. That was a little Trumpy. Yeah, it was okay. I like the haircut. It's great. Good. Told her stay away from the sutures. That's right. That was a little Trumpy. Yeah, it was for whatever reason.

Do you find yourself now that you're a Trump in person? Oh yeah. Yeah. We should talk about the golf tournament. Yeah. We, uh, yeah.

Brad, I played in, uh, his church's golf tournament, which I'd forgotten. I played in that last year with my dad and it poured down rain on us all last year. This year. It didn't check the forecast, poured down rain on us for a little. This year, it didn't check the forecast,

poured down right on us for a little bit again. Yeah, not too long. 15 minutes. Enough to get the seat wet, which then gets your seat wet. Yep, and then get your hands wet. All your grips are wet. Tough to dry off after that. But we had a ton of fun.

Yeah. And did quite well for ourselves. Yep. So it was me, Sam Seavers, who's our children's pastor at church. Clay Thompson, Peter. Oh yeah. Peter. He kind of looks like Clay in a little bit, a little way. And then Jake. So, uh, yeah, the four of us, like we said last week, Jake and Peter are the, the golfers in the group, but you know what? Sam slapped that ball around. Not bad. Yeah. He, he had like a solo birdie one hole, I think for us.

Carried the team at the beginning. Yeah he was great we just i had a blast with you guys oh yeah it was really fun try to think of highlights of things to talk about i think we impressed ourselves i mean we birdied like our first five holes like this is insane this is so fun yeah which do you know what that means son uh i can't remember ah shoot dang it no uh it just means like par is like what you're expected to get yes right birdies less birdie is one less gotcha okay so yeah i knew par yeah so we played what's called a scramble so all four of us hit the ball in the same location to start and then we choose who got the who had the best shot yeah and then let's all shoot from that again so it's like cool um so i think in some

levels like if we were all for good we would be expected to get birdies yeah most holes but like yeah we were impressing ourselves like boys let's play some golf here it's going pretty well and then it rained and then we lost a little steam yeah a little sloppy it was fun got to see andrew shooty from the golf course trip that was fun oh you pranked me? Oh yeah, we did prank you. You know, I took videos of that whole thing, just never posted them. I don't know why I didn't. That's your own archives right there. Yep. Just for me. Yeah. Honestly, all the credit goes to Peter because he was, it was his idea and he was the one doing it, but he was just like, Hey, whenever we can, let's take clubs out of Brad's bag until he notices. And so just every couple

holes, we just take, take an iron out of Brad's bag and put it in our bag. And then we, I mean, we're nine holes deep. Now we got six clubs and Brad hasn't noticed yet. And our bags are getting very full. Like I can't get my clubs out or in. We're thinking Brad's going to notice at some point. So we put our head cover like from our driver and put it over like a set of like five irons

to try and hide them a little bit. But mainly we're like, Brad's got to notice at some point like man i only have a four iron and a seven iron to hit from and i think it was all said done we had maybe like eight of your clubs eight irons you had like you so when the day was over i never noticed you loaded your bag back in your uh truck and you had two drivers, a seven iron and a putter. I think that was it. Maybe there's one more. I had a wedge because that's about all I was using.

Yeah. Maybe you did have a wedge in there, but it was funny. Yeah. The two drivers like took up a lot of space and then like really not many other clubs. I'm such an amateur golfer that like, I don't know, you know, like what you can do like on holes is like, you'll like look and you're like, okay, we're 155 yards out. Therefore I need to use this iron. I just, for me, it's way more about like if I'm going to hit the ball or not.

Yeah. It's just like, I could use a seven iron and it could go 200 yards or it could go five yards. So I have no, I like, I don't care what, so I'm like seven hour worked pretty well last time. I'm going to do that again and see what happens. Why not? And so I think I even said like, like whole 14, I was like, seven hoursiron worked pretty well last time. I'm going to do that again and see what happens. Why not? And so I think I even said like hole 14.

I was like, 7-iron's been good to me today. I haven't used that one a lot. And you're in your head probably thinking like, yeah, you have. We forced you to use it. Yeah, that was fun. That was a good Peter prank. So we did that, had fun. They catered lunch for us, which was nothing but red meat.

So I had beans. I'm happy to go through the line like they serve you and I have my plate. All right, what can I get for you? I'll take some beans and go ahead and double them up. Potato salad? Well, just the beans. Just the beans, please. They were good beans, though. Yeah. Had a big

old bag of beans. Big old bag of beans. But then we just went to Chipotle. Yeah. Oh, but not before, probably on the 17th hole. So this is like two nights after. No, it was the night after the debate, the morning after the debate. And so Trey and I are obviously like, we need to take advantage of this. Our presidents just talked about golf.

We got to make some sort of golf video. Trey was planning on it. Text me. He says, hey, couldn't get it done. Think you could film something? So I'm like, yeah, I just have my phone. And I don't normally do a lot of Trump and Biden impersonations, but whatever.

I'll figure it out. I was like, Brad, I'll pay you for your lunch if you film me for like five minutes. Brad filmed me. You did a good job. I was like, can you give me your Trump, and then I'll try to mimic your Trump yeah i gave you a little coaching little coaching yeah yeah and it was it was fine it felt like what we were making time was pretty dumb but

that video popped pretty much everywhere so yeah that's good got taken down on tiktok for a bit for hate speech it's back up million views wow taken down yeah wow you just got taken down and we're like no it's fine and like you're right it's back up again that happened to us one time and then we got shadow banned for a while on tiktok remember that yeah what video was that that was the uh oh yeah we think it was the woke parent video right it got to be it was like the one it got like six million views or something yeah then our next 20 videos got 1500 400 like nothing it was a pretty stark difference so let's see sorry i'm looking now how this video i'm doing 1.4 million on tiktok not bad hey good job to you great filming dude it was pretty good i followed

biden down on the ground when he fell. That was great. Good audio on the iPhone 15. The night before that, Rachel played in the golf tournament. She went back to Iowa and played a golf tournament with her grandma and her mom and her grandma's other 80-year-old friend. And they shot three under. And I really thought it was like, we might have trouble beating Rachel and her grandmas.

We did barely beat them. But shout out to Rachel's grandma. She just turned 80 and she played great in the golf tournament. Shout out. Grandma Graham? Grandma, Flory.

Yeah, that's right. Florida Lori. Florida Lori. Yeah. What have you been up to? What else is going on this week? Oh,

you know, a lot of just normal, like full life stuff. Not like anything super, I mean, fun things. Like I've been having a lot of fun, but nothing that's

like, Oh, that's gonna move the needle on the podcast. Um, until they hear about this went to my, my, this is kind of funny. My nephew Watson, uh, his birthday is like December 27th or something like that. I don't know. Maybe that's not, it's somewhere around like Christmas basically. And they've decided more or less to celebrate his half birthday because Christmas is just such a crazy time. That sounds like Rachel's dream. Really? January 2nd.

She would love to have a summer birthday. Maybe you should. That's why we timed what we. Oh, that's right. Oh yeah, of course. You're like,

I don't. Yeah. We don't want to do the same thing. Yeah. Makes sense. Rachel's in her third trimester right now. Oh my gosh, dude.

I can't believe we've been holding it in this long. That's crazy. Anyway, so Watson had a birthday party at a pool and my sister's like, he would love for you guys to come. You say, what, son? What? The sun's pretty...

Yeah. No, it was great. At noon? What? Sun's at highest peak. Sun's shining. You V You V me there around

5 o'clock when it's a little bit less sunny. Alright? Alright? Screen. That was basketball. Anyway, it was fun. fun it was father son bastard two or two battle son screen me what so no son yeah sunscreen um what son watson do you guys get it are you are you tracking along with this um no but it's his birthday party he had all these friends with them and we didn't really hang out with Watson at all, but we hung out with my sister and my parents were there.

It was fun. It was great. Like the kids. So my sister lives in the subdivision. There must be a huge subdivision. Cause it's like they have four or five different subdivision pools within like, but it's like multiple like miles of this subdivision, like, like these different pools. And so the one that we went to had a water slide. Okay. The things they're doing at

these subdivision pools these days, Jim, not like how we grew up. I don't think so. Our subdivision pool was like, it was nice if it were, it had a deep bed, you know, it's got a kiddie pool. That's a nice one. You know, Oh, a vending machine must be great. Um, but man, Bo and Hattie, but Bo especially loved the slide. Right. Had so much fun on the slide. He's gonna love Canicoc someday. I know, dude. I know both of them were just great. Um, you know, how are you starting to, have I mentioned that she's doing swimming lessons on the podcast? I don't know. Um, yeah, you're obsessed with it. Yeah. That's like all you talk about. Cause there's nothing else to talk about. Um, you spent obsessed with it. Yeah. That's like all you talk about. Cause there's nothing else to talk about.

You spend time with your kids all the time. Um, but like, it was funny, you know, she's still definitely not great at swimming, but she can do it. Like she's. And, uh, so I'm the kind of parent that's like, let's see what happens. Let's, you know, I, if she's drowning, of course I'll go pick her up. Uh, but I, you know, she's swimming and what her, her like tendency right now is she swims correctly and goes underwater and like, you know, paddles for a while. And then all of a sudden she just stops and doesn't want to do

that anymore and just starts like doggy paddling. And when she doggy paddles, I try to teach her like, how do you, when you go up and down, when you're vertical, that's when you sink, like when you're horizontal is when you can float better and everything. So she doggy paddles, goes vertical and just kind of like, yeah,

struggles a little bit. And my sister all of a sudden is like, Brad, do something. Do something. She's drowning. And of course,

like Hattie is like, no, I'm fine. You know, whatever. It was fine. It was one of those things. But it was like,

I think my sister's like, you might be a bad dad or something. Like watching you the way you're doing. She'll learn. She'll be fine. Yeah, one of those things, but it was like, I think my sister's like, you might be a bad dad or something like watching you the way you're doing. So she'll learn. She'll be fine. Yeah, exactly. Hey, most people only drown once. She's like, cause it's like, if you do it the right way, you can go as far as you want doing this. But if you do it that way, you're not going to learn. But I, it was in like three and a half feet of water. So like, or four feet of water. So she's like, if she gets a little bit farther, she can so it's like just get there and you'll be fine she'll be fine but that was fun you know officially signed up for camp yes officially yesterday finally signed up what

term uh term 10 last term oh that's what i used to go to when i was a camper really yeah what do you i i had bittersweet feelings about term 10 signing her up for term fan what do you think about it as now that I've been on the counselor side, I wouldn't do the very beginning of the very end. Yeah, why not? The very beginning, you're working out a lot of kinks when it comes to the programming aspect, the parties and the skits and everything.

The very end, people have been there all summer, somewhat checked out. Not everyone. I mean, there's a lot of really good employees there that are doing a good job. And some people have only been there three weeks, but you might be getting a slightly worse product. I that's, I was kind of like, yeah, I was kind of feeling the same way. Catherine's like, she's not going to know a difference. Like that's, that's the one version of camp she's ever see. So therefore, and I'm like, I think there were, there's two different types of

counselors. There's the term 10 counselor. That's like, I'm ready to be done. I'm thinking about, you know, recruitment. Yeah. Worry about all those things. And then there's a person that's like, I am so sad that this is almost over. I'm putting everything into the last week. Yeah. You know, that was like, and that was pridefully.

I think that's what I was like. I think most people had a good attitude. Like let's, let's ride this thing out. Finish strong. Yeah. It's almost like, holy cow, it's all, it's over already. Like we gotta make the most of this thing. Yeah. Um, so I'm really excited to take her. And, uh, last year they started doing parent drop-offs where you literally just dropped them off in the, like the luggage field or whatever. And like they care. So like normally at Canacook, that this is a big thing for Jake and I, cause we were on programs. We would introduce every single camper. You know, we'd say, well, you're, you're going to, you know, we had barns instead

of cabins bar number six. And then the barn six council would run up and like sweep them off their feet and like, get so excited with them. And it was like this big, like first moment of like they're celebrities on this big huge platform and all this stuff and maybe they still did that but the parents wouldn't get to watch it right there yeah but it's it's changed it's gone back to optional either way of course we're going in yeah

of course we're gonna go see you want to see how to get introduced yeah 100% she's gonna be like so like just stayed there classic kid like a little bit shy probably but I'm so pumped I'm pumped for bow even to go see there classic kid like a little bit shy probably but um i'm so pumped i'm pumped for bow even to go see it i remember like those little the little like siblings that would always come and be like you're gonna be a fun camper someday you know oh yeah it's gonna be

really cool for bow to see it yeah i honestly i don't know what my strategy or like i don't know if it's strategy but like i don't know what i'm going to do as far as how long we should stay. Cause I'm already like, you know, you fill out those applications for the kids. You remember that? Like, Oh yeah. Yeah. Like reading them. So like before the kids come, every counselor gets these info sheets on them that have their names, where they're from, you know, and a little bit of bios about them. And I filled that out the other day for her. And like, I texted Catherine was like, I'm already getting emotional. Cause it's like, you know, what challenges, what, what wins have they had recently? How can we encourage them? You know, like just like basically reflecting on the person that they are. And I'm just like, gosh, I love her. And

she's so precious. And please just, just care about her so much, you know, like, and when we were counselors, I definitely felt for my kids, but I don't think I felt the weight of like, wow, this is somebody who's like precious angel baby, you know, getting sent to me. And not when I was 19 years old. No, especially like our camp was for like, I had the very youngest kids at the very youngest camp. So like six and seven year olds, like, dang, these parents just were like, good luck. I hope you're good. I hope you know what you're doing. I hope you can, you know, give my child the right amount of attention and everything. So, um, yeah, I'm really, really excited about it. Uh, really excited to hear how

he does, what she loves, what she hates, you know, what she gets nervous about. Um, cause she's a big, like if she doesn't know what's going to happen, that that's the big thing for her is giving her expectations. I don't think she's necessarily self-conscious about like not being good. I think it's more about just like, well, I didn't know that was going to be there. I didn't know that was going to, you know, and camp definitely has fun surprises, you know, left and right. So, um, yeah, it'll be, that's going to be very, very fun to drop her off and pick her up hear about it write her a letter yeah anything yeah dude pickup is uh in the morning now

like saturday morning no i think it's on like a maybe saturday morning but like 9 30 like the closing ceremonies are in the morning is that how it was for you yeah that's how we did it no way yeah i believe you but, we would always do it, like I think Friday night and then Saturday again, the parents could come and pick up or they could leave Friday night. Oh, gotcha. Yeah. Yeah.

We might have done something like that too. But maybe we did that because our camp was in a different city than your camp and probably a lot of kids were doing or families might have split up. So maybe that was part of why it was like that. But yeah, I, I'm, my main memories from that change over day, which is like, this is insane. Like we just said bye to a tire cabin worth like two weeks worth of memories of kids at 10 AM. Yeah.

And like at 2 PM we have to like, yeah, get a whole new batch of them and just like, yeah, just move on. Yeah. It's wild. It is. It's physically and emotionally draining. It's like, okay, you have a few hours to clean up your cabin and go play basketball if you want to or something. But then we're going to have a bunch of enchiladas and do applications and learn about these new kids. That's funny fine you mentioned your

parents earlier they texted us this week because they saw tymon yeah yeah yeah that's right tymon tell us a green show that was kind of funny i i mean yeah not wasn't anything crazy but like i was filming so green leaf did cheaper but cheaper by the dozen um and i like went there to film the show like a 2 p.m show and. And then I just like in the audience, I'm kind of like scanning the audience and then like your parents like look, turn around and like wave at me. I was like, took me a second.

I was like, oh, wait, that's Brad's parents. So yeah, that was fun. Talk to your dad a little bit. Yeah, it was great. Yeah, my dad mentors a guy. I don't know, was he in the play? Do you know? So I'm not sure.

He mentioned the family they knew, and I didn't recognize the name. It wasn't like a regular Greenleaf family. I was curious about that in general. How big is the Greenleaf ecosphere? Yeah, I feel like whenever they would do camp, because this is a show that was put together in a week. Oh, wow. You know, just go every day.

That's impressive. Yeah. So it was like, but I feel like whenever they would do like more shows that people have heard of or like cheaper by the dozen, people kind of know that. Yeah. And so like then you get a few people

that aren't like regular greenleafers. Gotcha. Bringing some ringers. Yeah. Yeah. Like for a few years ago, we did Fiddler on the Roof and like that brought some like new people. Oh, nice. So like,ers. Yeah. Yeah. Like for a few years ago, we did Fiddler on the Roof and like that brought some like new

people. Oh, nice. So like, okay. Yeah. Not just your traditional people. That's a Fiddler joke. Fiddler people are going to love that. The Fiddlers out there.

The Fiddlers. Brad, you dog. You've done it again. Brad's dad texted us too and was like, well, look who I saw. And then didn't send a picture for like five hours. That's so funny. I was like, ah, who is it?

It was kind of funny. I feel like I can't remember exactly what happened. It was kind of like almost before he really talked to me, just came up and was like, oh yeah, I gotta take a picture. He just kind of walks up. All right. All right. Send this to the guy.

He walks up with his phone up and I'm like, okay, just a picture of me. Not like a selfie or anything like that. It was so funny. It was like. It was a great picture. And then I'm not sure how long it took him to take it. Cause I like, I think I give a thumbs up. Then I kind of like put it down and be like half stopped smiling.

So I'm like, I don't know where, at what point he took the picture. It could be a really awkward picture. It wasn't bad. It was a good picture. Okay. My sweet dad, man. I mean point he took the picture. It could be a really awkward picture. It wasn't bad. It was a good picture. Okay. My sweet dad, man. I mean, he's great. Oh yeah.

I got to get a picture. And you know what? To my dad's credit, I will say, or maybe to his innocence, he only takes one. He only takes one picture. I feel like every time I'm taking a picture, I'm taking four. Yeah. You know, why not? Especially with my kids.

Yeah. They're moving around and stuff. Like, I don't know if that was a good one. Uh, my dad was showing me pictures of his time at bike across Kansas. He went and helped out with it this year. He's done it like 10 times before, but he's getting a little old. So he's not biking anymore. Um, show me all these pictures. And there were a few times where he had somebody else take it. And he's like, yeah, these people took like five pictures. I don't know what they were doing. Wasting space. Scrolling through here.

Film's expensive. Yeah, exactly. So. Sacagawea. Yeah. Harriet Tubman. Okay. Clay Aiken.

Three great women who all love drinking Main Street Roasters. Yes. We don't have literal proof, but we have it on pretty good authority that they would enjoy it. We don't have literal proof, but we have it on pretty good authority that they would enjoy it. We don't have literal proof. Yes, we do. I have faith. They sent us letters.

They sent us letters. They did. They sent us letters and they stamped it with Main Street Roasters logo. Where were you when they sent us letters? You didn't see them send us the letters? I thought we read them together. Yeah, we saw the letters. We read the letters. All the letters.

It's not saccharologist. Back to the episode. Yeah, that was a classic. You even responded. My dad's like, look who I saw at Greenleaf's production. Of course we knew it was time. Greenleaf's production of Chew by a Dozen. Jake finally said, I can't wait to see who this is something like that so and then yeah he sent a picture and then your mom texted us separately in a new group chat that's right yeah about some people i didn't know you

you know graydon she talks about great oh first sorry it was great first and then she texted about people i didn't know yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah. Sorry. Yeah, she did see, yeah, Graydon. And she sent a screenshot of your podcast clip. Oh, the- She's like, I saw this guy too. Oh, that's funny.

And said like, are you from the I'm Down Boys? I think she said that. Or, sorry, not I'm Down Boys. Backseat Boys. That's funny. Yikes. Boy, oh boy. The new age I'm Down Boys.

So, yeah. Yeah. Are you in any place coming up? Got any on the docket? Not really. Okay. Speaking of that though, so I've been taking voice lessons for a few weeks,

just like kind of like, I don't know. It's fun to learn more how to sing with actual technique and stuff. Anyway, in like the- From Greenleaf? No. So my sister goes to MNU anyway and like the from green leaf no so my sister goes to mnu and like just like the choir director there also does like private voice and piano and stuff

so yeah taking voice it's that's fun but speaking of like plays he mentioned that mnu is doing newsies and he was like and i think it's technically only for students but he was like you should just see if you can maybe audition yeah but like that would be awesome that would be just like maybe my the dream show like it's just so good dude it's oh you gotta dude that'd be so fun dude gotta audition so i'm gonna see if i can that like three neighbor to neighbor father to son one for all in all for one like yeah that line i don't know the way like when all those guys are singing it sounds awesome. That's fun. I would see every show.

Even if I'm the most background of background characters. Sure, no, shoot for the stars. Well, yeah, I mean, it'd be fun to be a lead too, but that show is just so fun. Yeah, that'd be awesome. What's the timing of it? Do you know? I don't know anything. I think it might be in quite a while, because I feel like

I saw someone post, I mean, I guess it's kind of the dates of like shows and it was like all these in order. The newsies was kind of like low on the list. So it might be in a while, maybe like 2025 or something, but yeah,

I would love to do that. I enjoyed, uh, our, our boy, Jesse, uh, Timon's friend,

our friend ghosty, uh, posted a link for the, the family quartet. Oh, yeah, he did. On the Facebook group. I enjoyed listening to you guys. You guys can sing.

Even, not even Alice, but like. Even her. She's the youngest. And so I was like, I was expecting less from her, you know, by default. Like, yeah, she's still learning, whatever. She can sing. Like you guys can, you guys have some skill in that family. Even Alice.

Even that girl? Because there were a few times I was like, Anna, your oldest sister, she can really sing. But I was like, I wonder if Alice... But I was like, oh no, that's Anna right there, and I can hear Alice. I texted Tymon, and it sounded great yesterday, and he's like,

it didn't translate very well to the live stream. I was like, no way, dude. You're your harshest critic. It sounded sweet. Thanks. Yeah, I would have loved being there to beatbox, though, a few times. Yeah.

Would have been fun. Needed it. Also, wished, not wished, was surprised they didn't clap. No clap, no acknowledgement. Interesting, like our church is kind of just like a little like low key, old fashioned in that kind of way. Like not, not a big clapping.

Nods of approval. Kind of. Yeah. Yeah. Were they? Yeah. Was there some kind of acknowledgement? For sure.

Like smiles and like, uh, from our perspective, you could tell it was like appreciated. And then like, um, the last song we sang is more of like a slow or like beautiful, like him or whatever. And had the congregation like joining on the courses and stuff. And like people were crying and stuff. Oh, cool. Well, I don't need claps if you're crying. That's fair.

It was pretty powerful. It was, it was a cool, it was a cool moment. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, my church that I led worship at, we never clapped after songs and stuff. Like that wasn't, I was, I'm not a big, like give it up for the Lord. I'm not a big tell people to clap guy. I and stuff like that. I'm not a big like... Give it up for the Lord. I'm not a big tell people to clap guy. I do not like that. I don't like, can you make some noise, right? Whatever. Our church does that now and I kind of clap,

but I'm like, I don't know. I don't want to disrespect the Lord. But anyway, so I don't think it's like... But yours was definitely a performance. So it felt like, okay. Like, you know, and there was one song especially where it was like, it was fast paced, like fun and it just got over and it was just like, yep. So we're going to do our next song is, you know, oh, that song was, that song is like such a tough song to sing anyway. And then we, I think we like calculated or like listen to the back to live stream. We ended it a key and a half sharp so we just like slowly went up accidentally and like so even that last note's very high for

like alice or and whoever seems like the high note i bet for alice it's really high even even hurt she could even hit it yeah that's amazing that's crazy like that you could even adjust like it's weird how it happens. Yeah. It's like if... I guess if one person's slowly going up, everyone just does. But you can't notice it in the moment. Yeah.

Unless you have perfect pitch, which none of us do. You'll get there. That is called homeostasis. Happens to all of us. Sutures, singing. All the things. It's everywhere. I just saw that... I'm in the Ghost Run facebook group right now i'm the admin and a poster is reported so i was like oh let's

see what this is someone reported a post for false news the post is nine minutes ago from jess eggleston which did you kind of grow up with? She's like one of her little sister was like one of my best friends growing up. That's right. Yeah. Rachel Mustaine. Yeah. Grow up with her. Yeah.

So Jess was two or three years older than me. So I like knew her. Okay. Yeah. Gotcha. So her post was Jake acts like a fake celebrity podcaster with a 500 credit score. Brad seems like he's a family man with four kids. And how the heck are you

providing for your family with podcasting, woodworking, and what the heck else? I don't understand. What? What, son? What the heck? I don't know. That's

why I got reported for false news. I was hoping you could shed more light. Do you think it was like a bot? Do you think somebody reported it? Did you see somebody report it? Or did it just say fake celebrity? Who knows? That's so funny. The top comment I see right now says,

dude, what? That's almost exactly what you said. I just... Jake acts like a fake celebrity podcaster in a 500 credit store. Brad seems like he's a feeling. Oh, people are like coming to my, like people are coming

to our defense. I, it's definitely, she's trying to make a joke. I know Jess and I know that she's probably making, I don't know what, it must be some kind of context from today's episode that we released or something, but maybe explain it a little more or something.

Yeah. I don't know that all good. Whatever. Somebody did say I reported for fake news. Oh, that's funny. Jess, explain yourself.

Yeah. Well, we'll leave it up there, I guess. Oh man. People comment away. Yeah, well, we'll leave it up there, I guess. Oh, man. People comment away. I'm just looking at my smores votes. Well, now I got to look at my credit score.

Let's see what it says. Anyway, that feels like a good spot to end the episode. Yes. Fake news. No, this is fun. Well, we're not done. Jeez. Review the week, Brad. All right, guys. Love you guys. Should I do drippy? No, I was kidding. Somebody just wrote drippy a million times. Yeah. Their username is very drippy. So thank you. It

I started listening to this podcast off and on last summer and have been much more invested over the past few months. Jake, Brad, and Tymon always have me laughing and smiling to myself as I walk my dogs or do random house projects. I love how they combine their everyday life funny stories with their quirky personalities, yet still find ways to encourage me as a husband and father. Whatever of you. I'm listening in a weird order in which I'm sort of catching up and also trying to listen live

Think about that for the Newsies movie. Yeah. Yeah. Audition song, probably. Open the gate. What would it be if you had to choose one song to sing from Newsies? Oh, man. Good question.

I mean, Santa Fe is the classic. Really? It's so... So snooze. Really? Santa Fe. Yeah, I fast forwarded through that one. Really?

Okay, wait. Which Newsies do you know? Which is like... Oh, I didn't know there was more than one. Because there's like Christian Bale, old Tommy. Yes, that's what I mean. Not old. there's like christian bale oh yes that's not old it's like older and then like the old i mean like super old yeah uh like the broadway oh uh with like jeremy jordan and stuff nope never heard the broadway versions of any okay uh watch it sometime it's very good it's like slightly different i love both i have a lot of friends who are like theater snobs.

They're like, oh, the movie's garbage. And like the Broadway's the only good one. I'm like, I love the movie so much. Yeah. Yeah. Was the movie like the original? Like first thing? I've wondered.

It feels so much like a, for some reason, it doesn't feel like it's the original. But I think it is. Yeah. I think. I don't think I've realized like until recently, recently how many Disney classics are not original Disney stories. I don't know anything about that. Lion King. It was like a...

Based on a true story. Well, yeah. Well, isn't Lion King based on... There's some Japanese... Well, it's like some Hamlet-based thing, but then also some Japanese lion thing they kind of copied. Yeah, they kind of copied that. Oh, that's oh that's interesting beauty and the beast i think was a popular story like a book beforehand it's like when you hear a good song nowadays and you realize

oh that's a like some 50 song sampled yeah like what song you were playing for me in your truck and i was like oh this is like the dj khaled rihanna song oh yeah what was it uh gosh it was like from the yeah from our childhood oh wild thoughts yeah it's the new song i don't know the old song though oh i said it was like yeah it's like the original despacito oh i got something next episode to say about despacito oh good maria maria that was it you remind me of a West Side Story. Was that it? Doesn't matter. Oh, yeah.

Yeah. They're like sampling old stories. Like a Santana song. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Huh. I did not know any of that. Yeah. I thought Disney came up with them all like so many

classics aladdin i mean i think aladdin's a little bit their story but like you know like all that i feel like so many originals it's like an old like grim fairy tale or something like that it's like snow white a little twist on or something i think snow white wasn't yeah i don't think that was original i think when i hear stuff like that it gets me excited that the art and the craft of storytelling is timeless. You need a hero who needs to go on a journey, who has a task. There are certain elements of a story that will never go away and will never not be a good story,

which I guess like a video person, it's fun. It's like, yeah, there's certain elements that always need to be there. Storytelling isn't changing. You could take some old Hamlet Japanese thing and retell it. It still works. 10 things I hate about you. Ever seen that?

No. That's a King Lear. I don't know. It's a, it's a Shakespeare. Take me the shrew. Huh? I don't know. One of them.

I don't know. I don't know. I really am not very well versed in Shakespeare, but my golf game, impeccable. I use seven iron and putter only. That's all I need. That's all I need to win a regular championship. Not a senior one. Not a senior one.

I hit from the senior tees, but it was a regular championship. That was kind of crap. Like the tournament, I was like, wait, the old people get to hit 100 yards ahead of us yeah we realized if we really want to win this thing you got to have one 60 year old you gotta have a 60 year old ringer i mean there were sometimes where just the senior tees were 100 yards ahead of ours and senior yeah my dad's 58 he gets to hit the ball very far he's not 60 yet i guess hey who knows maybe it's really decline at the tail end of, my golf game is just going down the crap.

Or once I hit 6-0. Anyway, all right. I need to put you in the cruise group text. You would love it. It's just my dad and John going back and forth. It's a good time. Put me in there and I'll just do only voice memos. I won't respond to anybody else's stuff.

I'll just respond like I'm Steve over and over and over again. It's great. There's a hurricane on its way to the Gulf of Mexico right now. And so of course, you know, that's all they talk about. It's great. Okay.

Anyway, sorry. Wednesday, Wednesday. Hey, do you know we love you guys? Cause we do Wednesday, Wednesday.

I can't remember anything else. He says special teams, special players, special audience. That's you guys. Tell a friend. See you Wednesday. All right. See you guys.
