Dude, update this week. Yes. We are now ranked in improv comedy in a new country. Okay, let me guess. Give me two syllables, three syllables. Oh, this may give it away a lot of syllables. Lichtenstein. No, more. That's not very many syllables. More syllables. A lot of syllables. That might give it away. Yeah. Now I feel bad about not being able to think about Amsterdam. That's not even a country.

Netherlands. I don't know. Tell me. Luxembourg. Trinidad and Tobago. Really? Yeah, number two. Okay.

Went from not being ranked to number two. These rankings, like, who knows where they come from? Well, it's Nicki Minaj's influence on the whole system. And a little bit of Trinidad James. Oh, yeah, sure. Gold all of my watch. He really blew up after that song. Wow. People won't stop talking about it. We are number two? Number two. Okay. In Trinidad and Tobago for comedy. Something to shoot for. Number one. Oh yes. All right. So that's exciting. I assume it must have something to do with the fact that we've both been there. I can't imagine who's listening there, but.

Well, can you now search podcasts for like keywords? I don't know exactly how that works. Like, sure, you can't search for like what they've talked about, but we definitely talked about it on the podcast about going to Trinidad. Oh, you think people are able or like. I don't know. Yeah. Something like that.

I would be surprised. Something like that, though. Look it up later. Like, I wonder if like, I bet if you searched Brad Ellis, you would find Ghostrunners. know yeah something like that i would be surprised something like that though look it up later like i wonder if like i bet if you searched brad ellis you would find ghost runners maybe you can search things that are in the description yeah yeah that's what i'm thinking right it's interesting like i wonder if you type in chick-fil-a comedy if like our podcast comes up or something if not then we're not doing the seo right because we have to be the number one Chick-fil-A

comedy podcast out there. Yeah, because that's what I want. I want to be the number one Chick-fil-A comedy. It's been a busy week for us here. Welcome, by the way, if you're new. This is Ghost Runners Podcast. This is episode 40. Wow.

So, biblical number, about to be a biblical episode. Doherty 40. Doherty 40. What? Like the Dirty 30. Okay. Doherty 40. The Doherty 40. The Floority 40. What? Like the dirty 30, dirty 40, dirty 40, the flirty 40. Yeah. We've had a busy week

celebrating the chiefs winning, winning the super bowl, uh, among other things. If you haven't checked it out yet, we just uploaded a video of Brad and I at the parade, which is pretty funny. I think. Yeah. I enjoyed, I enjoyed watching it. I enjoyed watching ourselves do it. Yeah. Yeah. We, uh, we just, you know, wanted to pass the time one and two, just wanted to have some fun and be ourselves. And so our boy Isaac held the camera. Yep.

Catherine Ellis, former baby of the week was a equipment manager and held my backpack all day. Yep. In addition to her growing uterus, she also held that in. Sure. Which is impressive. Sure.

Pregnant woman out there in the cold, it was snowing all day uh it was a lot of fun so give it checked it out go find that on the internet somewhere the parade was awesome it was so fun yeah how'd you feel about it uh i felt like it was well overall awesome i think we the fact that we did that video beforehand made it twice as much fun probably overall because like you said it killed the time that we did that video beforehand made it twice as much fun probably overall, because like you said, it killed the time that we was, we had to get there at eight 45 and probably didn't start till 1130 and it was cold out there. And so like the time where we finally did stop recording and just went back and stood there, it was like really had like 30 minutes before the parade started. That was so cold. But your friend brought a football, which was awesome. That was awesome. Yeah. Talk about that. Well, so, you know, you guys know what a parade looks like.

I would imagine. Yeah. Even the Trinidadians. You guys know. Oh, especially the Trinidadians. Oh, they know. Yeah. So the street is blocked off.

So it essentially creates this, you know, Moses in the sea scenario where you can't get across. However, a football can get across. Yes. Perfect. Yeah. So it was just really fun. Brad's, how do you know this guy? Uh, he goes to church with my dad. So my dad was the one that was reserving our spots. And so, yeah, this guy was right next to my dad. Uh, and yeah, he brought a football. So we were just tossing it back and forth. And there was this guy in like a second story window that everyone on our side was trying to

like get it towards. It was awesome. It was like, was like yeah so many people tried no one was having it and then somebody finally got it in the second story window and everyone freaked out they're chaining mvp at this guy yeah upper deck yeah isaac and i both tried to throw it to the upper deck neither of us got even close you nailed it off the side of that building though yeah i really didn't want to uh get, get some speed. Yeah, I did. I was going, I went to the fastball, not, not enough of an arc, but, uh, yeah, the parade itself was awesome. One of the funniest things to me and to you as well, I think was they were on double-decker buses, the players and their wives and girlfriends and everything. And it, I mean, the NFL in general is sponsored by Bud Light. And so I think the parade had lots of cold beverages. But these women, I mean, I saw some players do it too, but the wives and girlfriends were pretty frequently tossing Bud Light bottles into the parade crowd.

Pretty fervent tosses too. Full bottles. Like not like, oh, let's drink it and then just throw it out there for a souvenir. It's like, no, here's, here's a free bottle of alcoholic beverage. And so. This is like a metal 20 ounce bottle. Right. And I'm not trying to like stereotype completely.

I'm just going to go off my own experience with my wife. Catherine, if I'm like, hey, can you throw me the remote? Like there's no, there's no ability for her to just toss it. Like, like it's coming hot. like, hey, can you throw me the remote? Like there's no ability for her to just toss it. Like it's coming hot. Not like, you know, oh my gosh, that hurt my hand hot. But if it hits somewhere else on your body, it does hurt. It's like a solid 12 and a half, 15 miles an hour.

And so these women were throwing these bottles, these full aluminum bottles overhand from a second story bus, just right down onto the crowd. And I mean, they weren't chucking them by any means, but just the fact that they were over here. They were snapping that wrist though. Yeah. Snapping the wrist. I was like, if somebody gets hit in the face with those, one of those things they're going, that's a lawsuit.

Like that. You're about to see the red sea Yes. Spell on the floor. Right. Anyway. No one around us got thrown one, but I would like to see like are people catching these or is this hitting them in the neck seriously dude it had to hurt yeah think about baseball practice in february when it's cold out and you know i've never been

to a baseball practice in february when it's cold out if there's a fence i wasn't there but even that like you catch a baseball in a mitt you know in a leather glove and that hurts because your hands are cold right and this is an aluminum that a mitt to absorb it for you. Like I was just, Jake and I were perplexed. We were like, Oh my gosh, watch these women just chucking these things. Uh, so that was one of the most entertaining things to me is like, how do these girls not see that this is very dangerous? And the two main throwers, we'll call them Randy Johnson and Kurt Schilling up there, right? That one bus, they like most of the players, girlfriends are like at the back of the bus with their player, with the boyfriend, with the husband. This was like

a non-player bus kind of like, I don't know who these people were, what their affiliation was, other than just like tossing, tossing brewskis out. That was their main contribution. Oh, it was wild. It definitely lived up to the brand of Chiefs. Like in the NFL, it was just crazy. Like it was like the Royals one was so much more like family friendly. Like, oh, this is such a great day. This is so fun. So nice.

We should have a picnic after this parade. This one was like, these people are going hard. Like it was wild. So anyway, it was, it was a fun time. There were so many people there. Yeah. It was awesome. So yeah. The a fun time. There were so many people there. Yeah, it was awesome. So yeah, probably went great. What were you going to say? Well, I don't know. Nothing. I was just going to say, what'd you think about compare that to the world series parade or just in general,

like the experiences, something I was thinking about. So the world series parade would have been in November, right? If you guys don't know, the Royals won the World Series five years ago. We went to that parade. But like all the pictures are like, I'm in a t-shirt. The trees are green. Yeah, it was a perfect day. Why was, why were those things the case? I mean, I know it could be warmer November, but even like, it seemed like the world had

not adapted to November yet. It was unseasonably warm, I think. And it just made me like question everything. I'm like, what? Because there was a lot of, uh, there was a lot of like, not backlash, but controversy about like, well, the Royals have more people at their rally than the chiefs did and all this stuff, blah, blah, blah. And everyone's like, well, it was 60 degrees on the Royals day. And so I guess it was just very warm that season. They hadn't gotten cold yet. I don't remember it very well, but.

For some reason that I was so hung up on that. I was like, did they do the parade like nine months later in June? Like why? There's no way it could have been this nice in November. I don't know. But I guess it was. Comparing them though, I mean, they were both like, they seem pretty similar to me. Yeah. A bunch of people in really good moods, all wearing the same color. Right.

And it's just fun. Just everyone's in a good mood. I mean, you had no problem. Like you just, everybody! And they just scream. They don't even know what you're saying. They just scream with you. Exactly.

It's just so fun. It just, it's a cool thing that like, I'll talk about this more when I talk about the Post Malone concert that I went to. Just like, it's honestly kind of crazy how much sports can bring people together. Totally. Like more than anything else. Well, of course. When Kobe Bryant died, like no one, like it doesn't matter what your political affiliation

was, what your race was, gender, like whatever. Everyone was like talking about Kobe Bryant together. Yeah. The same sentiment, same thing with the Superbowl and the chiefs and everything. I'm trying to think like outside of sports, what maybe like the Catholic church and their affiliation to the Pope, like that might be stronger than like a collective, like cities, you know, like I'm trying to think like what can bring a million people out of their home to celebrate something more than sports success nothing yeah i don't know i yeah maybe because it is we're like shutting down schools maybe music like there's some some i think music can bring people together pretty solidly but then it can also divide people pretty easily too sports it's like if your city is winning, like.

You don't go to work, you shut down school because the team won a game. Right. Essentially. Right. Which is crazy. It's so fun, dude. So we had lots of fun at the parade. The Super Bowl itself was also crazy watching that together. That was one of the best days of my life. It was 66 degrees. Yeah, it was so awesome.

We went to the high school field and played, uh like two-hand touch football for like two hours and everyone out there. Oh, and driving there, Isaac and I were like, that was, I was euphoric. I was playing Welcome to Miami by Will Smith because the Chiefs were playing in Miami and Isaac and I are driving there with the windows down. We're passing by all these parks where just hundreds of kids are out in like red jerseys at the park playing. It was crazy how happy it made me to see just people outdoors, I guess. I don't know. I was in such a good mood. It's been a long winter, you know.

And then we played football. That went awesome. Afterwards, Isaac and I go to the grocery store to pick up some drinks. We'll go over to your house. And everyone is there wearing red. The Chiefs sports radio is blaring over the Hy-Vee speakers. Like so loud. It was awesome. It's like, I was living in some type of like dystopian future where we all get along. Right. It was wild. Yeah. Everyone's just amazing to each other. Everyone's on the same page.

There was, there was somebody that we interviewed at the parade that was like, yeah, I don't watch football. And it was like kind of mind blowing to us. Like what? You asked him, you're like, so what do you, what do you do on the weekends? Not watch football. And I was like, no, no, seriously. I really want to, I'm, I'm perplexed at this point in Kansas city's life. do you what do you do on the weekends not watch football and i was like no no seriously i really

want i'm i'm perplexed at this point in kansas city's life like everyone's watching the chiefs like even if you don't really care that much and to be at the parade with a camera in your hand this guy was like shooting something that day and he was like oh i don't know any chiefs players he said what are you doing here he said he was with his friend that wanted to shoot stuff for his instagram account or something oh so uh so, uh, guy in the, like the bull hunters cap. Yeah. The goggles.

He's the Instagrammer. Uh huh. Oh, nice. You got to find them. Yeah. He's probably listening. We told him about what's up guys.

So anyway, yeah, that was, that was wild. But like, did you hear about the super bowl, uh, in Kansas city,

97 rating, meaning 97% of all TVs, which is like, I don't know what it's, if it's a record or not, but like people were like, it is an amazing, amazing rating. Like 3%. What are those 3% watching though? Like, I don't know. Reruns of Matlock? Maybe, maybe, maybe Murder, She Wrote. Oh, I thought the game was, but that was Eastern time, you know? That's crazy. Yeah. So it's just fun. And fun and then yeah to recap that day we watched the

game in typical playoff cheese fashion we're down by 10 we win by 10 or win by 11 and then roller coaster of emotions it was so fun we went out to westport and celebrated and you know respectfully we celebrated by uh we we had both of us. I think we had waters like either of us had a drink. We had more fun trying to see Gunner pour a beer that we found into a stranger's mouth. That was awesome. It was just classic Gunner. Like Gunner was all about it, but he would have never done that if he bought that beer. You know what I mean? I'll give away other people's things. Oh, yeah. Yeah, that was fun. And then we went to the casino after that.

In between, we went to Burger King. And so we didn't get home. And then I had to drop you and Peter off because we had this amazing plan to have me drive everybody around the city. Because we had Isaac take your car home because he's not 21. So anyway, and, uh, so anyway, I dropped everybody off. I was so tired. It was like three 30 in the morning. I get pulled over by a police officer that thought I was drunk. And of course I said, like, I was very, it was a, it was a woman police officer. I was very honest with her.

And, but I said like, yeah, I was in like, where are you coming from? Oh, it was just in Westport and then the casino. Oh, okay. Oh, how much you've been drinking tonight? I was like, yeah, I was in like, where are you coming from? Oh, it was just in Westport. And then the casino. Oh, okay. Oh, how much you've been drinking tonight? I was like, I haven't been drinking at all. I know that sounds crazy. I had one beer during the Superbowl at six o'clock. It's just like, she like did not believe me, you know? Oh, Westport, the casino.

Yeah. That's where you go to drink water. Uh-huh. Right. Yeah. And wild cherry Pepsi. Like, uh, okay. You know, uh. You're like, ma'am, if you have a breathalyzer for wild cherry Pepsi, I would love to blow on that thing.

I promise. I got a lot of carbonation up in here. That's all I have in my system. Yeah. So it was just funny. Like she was like grilling me the whole, like, okay, when was the last time you ate? I had, I was like kind of embarrassed. I was like, I had a Whopper Junior at midnight.

Okay. She's shaming you. When was the last time you worked out? Okay. What are these questions? Okay. Yeah. What's your at midnight. Okay. She's shaming you. When's the last time you worked out? Okay. What are these questions? Okay. Uh, yeah. What's your blood pressure? Okay. Is this about me being pulled over anymore? Have you ever, have you ever considered the paleo diet or, uh, anyway, it was, it was, so she finally just looks like, I'm really honestly just glad that you're not drunk. Just get home safe. Uh, I was like, thank you. I'm one of the good guys. I always say, I always tell the cops that like, that's always my plea to them.

It's like, I'm one of the good guys. Hey, trust me. Trust me. She also asked me like, she didn't ask if she asked me, uh, so how much illegal substances do you have in your car? Oh, and I said, zero with that. I have my, I have my daughter's car seat in the back. I don't think that's, you know, I hope it's strapped in the right way I have maybe that's illegal like a lot of stain in my trunk, which I guess if you inhaled it quickly Yeah, I mean there is spontaneous combustion if you don't like let the rag dry out first before you throw it in the trash But besides that I think I think it's all legal. I swear officer. That's it though. That's it and I'm getting rid of it I know I shouldn't have it true story in high school

I got pulled over and the cop asked me, do you have a substantial amount of money in the car? And why is that question? I don't know. I don't know. It was me and my friend. We were in high school. Maybe we looked suspicious. I was driving a pretty janky car. It was my first car. It was an 88 Honda Accord. And like, do you have a substantial amount of money? And I, as a little kid, didn't know was like i mean i have 50 in my wallet which was kind of a substantial amount of money when you're in high school i have 220s like oh gosh i do kind of have a lot of money like i don't usually carry 50 bucks i think so uh so how much illegal substances do you have none zero i have everything in here is so legal it's crazy oh yeah like you want to see my permit for my uh cup holders i've got it yeah so all in all great night i just have felt

like exhausted ever like the whole week i've been playing catch up i've been going to bed late sleeping late all week since yeah i i set my alarm for seven o'clock every day this week and have turned it off and slept in to like eight 39 at least. One night, two nights ago, you said you went to bed at seven 47. I did. I was in bed at seven 47. It was wonderful. That's crazy. It was, that seems impossible. Um, I don't know what, I just, I think I was really exhausted. It was the day that it was, it was after the parade. We went back home to my house. Cause you guys had spent the night at my house before. Yeah. Don't sleep over. Let's go. And, uh, and you guys all stayed. Catherine stayed. I had to go pick up Hattie from our aunts who was babysitting her. And you guys

all got a good solid nap. That is true. We all accidentally napped and I was exhausted. Like driving there. I felt like I couldn't see straight. Like was blurry and i was like i'm so tired so i put hattie to bed and then we got i went right to bed i was like i'm going bad katherine was watching the bachelor i was like i'm good i'm i'm down she watch it every week yeah she didn't watch the one on monday i don't think that really long one that you that i watch yeah that you did she watch by herself? She normally watches it with Peter or Sophie and Emily and. The girls. Allison, yeah. Okay, gotcha.

Nice. Yeah, I think I'm done with The Bachelor. Yeah. I had a good run, but I'm done with it. I'm sorry. I know a lot of you out there want me to talk about it more, but I'm done. That's all we're going to say. There's one fan that really wants you to talk about The Bachelorette.

Oh, yeah. I don't totally understand that ask because it's not on TV right now. What am I supposed to do? Even on the comments? Like, Hey, what can we talk about on this episode today? Bachelorette. I don't know how to do this for you. Maybe she really is encouraging you to like, go, go to it. Go, go get on it. Yeah. Um, which let's talk about this real fast. You look good enough to be on the bachelorette right now. Thank you. Uh, formal Fridays, formal Fridays are in full effect. Yes. Formal Friday, full.

Fact. Force. Ah, force is good too. Yeah. Yeah. I'm in a suit right now. It feels good. Bought this, uh, dress shirt at Macy's a couple of weeks ago.

Yeah. The woman there said that a lavender goes good with the Navy suit. So I said, okay. It does. Thank you. Oh yeah. I agree. And then she measured measured measured me and we

got it to fit slim fit i like it yeah it does fit it's nice thank you dude no not not to me whopper jr's in there though okay okay okay so how much legal substance do you have in those nothing nothing nothing let's see dude i got sweaty so many times last week. Did you? Four times. Four sweaty times. Boxing, basketball, football, and a pickleball on Saturday night. The trifecta, quadfecta. That's probably why I could fit in the slim fit. I like it. Because I'm getting sweaty more. Tell me what was the best one or what was any highlights of it.

Football, easily. Yeah. It was so fun. Met some new friends, saw some old friends. Everybody who's anybody was there, except for you. Thank you. I was prepping was there, except for you. Thank you. I was prepping my house for the Super Bowl. I was like, we got to get the sound bar working.

Yeah. It was important. And it was working by the time we got there. Sounded great. Yeah, thanks, man. Yeah, good week to get sweaty. I think I'm, yeah, I'm a slim fit guy now who wears suits. It looks good.

It looks really good. I have a story for you that I've been so excited to tell you about. And honestly, kind of like, it's one of those things like it's happened to me and I haven't fully really thought about it or processed it yet. So we're going to need to talk about this together. Love it. Trey and I had just got done shooting. I was in the area.

I just went to eat real quick and then get some work done. Our girl Domi hits me up. You know, if you ever go there by yourself, I'm like, she's always like, where are your friends? Yes, always. It kind of makes you feel bad. Like, okay. Yeah, you're right. I shouldn't be here by myself, but it's free Domi. So here I am. He's like shaming me. Like I'm drinking by myself at the bar at 11am. No friends. Kind of. That's exactly what it feels like. I feel bad, but I shouldn't. That's my version of that though. Cause I've, yeah. I hope no one catches me here. D't me. You're right.

Don't me. I don't know where they are. I got to turn my life around. So I'm like, Oh, they're busy today. Uh, it's just me.

And then she comes around a little bit later and she's like, so, uh, you will not have a woodworking to do today. And I was like, Oh no, that's like my friends. Like I don't do any woodworking.

She gets us so confused. She does. At least I think I'm probably a little more like, uh, distinctive than you two. because I'm the big boy. But yeah, she does not know Jake versus Isaac when I talk about him. So yeah, she's like, you know, you don't have any woodworking to do today. And I was like, no, that's Brad and Isaac. I make videos.

And so she gets, she's asking a lot of questions, like trying to figure out what I do. And which is, it's hard for me to kind of explain it to anyone. Granted, someone who's not a native speaker or, you know, whatever, or a little bit older anyway. So I'm like, I make a lot of videos, you know, with my friend, mainly for the internet, you know, YouTube, Instagram, Facebook. And I feel like she's starting to get the hang of it. Okay. Like what type of videos? I say comedy, just different types of stuff to make people laugh. And then she jumps from that question and answer, what type of videos, I say comedy, just different types of stuff to make people laugh. And then she jumps from that question and answer, what type of videos? Comedy. She goes to, so do you make,

you ever make a gay videos? What? Yeah. Gay? Gay. Not game. Gay. And I said, oh, no, not, we don't really do that. We don't really like dabble in things like sexuality or like politics or anything, you know, it could be polarizing like that. And she was like, oh, okay. Okay. And so then, uh, I'm like wondering what in the world was that question? We're still kind of chatting. I'm taking the conversation away from this. And I think she's, oh, then she's like asking me how much money I make and stuff from it. I'm like, Oh, it's pretty modest. You know, it's mainly like, I love it. And that's, you know, I'm not doing it for the money. And then Mr. James walks up, you know, and he's like, what's going on here? And I was like, Oh, don't, he's just trying to

figure out how she can quit her job and become an influencer, you know, just joking around. And she was like, no, no, no, no no i was just talking to him and he was saying he does not make gay videos he doesn't make one with politicals i was like whoa that is not the way to explain it don't make it seem like i came in here and said hey don't be some videographer i don't make gay videos i'm just gonna throw it out there now i don't make the gay videos the way she like relayed my information to her like made me scared to like tell her anything again in the future like if that's how you're gonna relay this on to people no no he was just telling me no no hey he was just he doesn't make any videos but they are for instagram oh my gosh it

was weird though it was like everything up to that point has always been extremely polite extremely cordial and normal with her she she's sweet but she's also very interesting and blunt sometimes like like a couple times we'll talk about our church or something. I don't know if you were here for this, but she was like, oh, is it a Catholic church? And I was like, no, no, it's Presbyterian or whatever. Oh, you should really be Catholic. You should really be Catholic. You should go. You should go. You should go Catholic. And I'm like, okay, maybe, probably not. It's just funny. And then the other day, I like that evangelism technique. What do you believe in? Oh, no, no, no, no, no. You should

believe in God. No, but genuinely, like I had like a little bit of conviction. I'm kind of being serious. Whenever she was like, just tell people. Yeah. Like, like she was so confident and like proud of her. Yeah. Catholicism. Like you should really go Catholic. And I was like, dang, I don't do that very often. People like, Hey, you should believe in God. You should really go Catholic. And I was like, dang, I don't do that very often to people. Like, hey, you should believe in God. You should follow Jesus. Like, okay. But then the other day we were in there. Oh, sorry. You have something? I'll remember it. We'll come back to it. The other day we were in there and it was me, Catherine, and Hattie. And Catherine had brought her own kombucha to drink. And because she's like, oh, oh just not her stomach was feeling weird or whatever so kombucha helps that apparently or whatever but domi must think that kombucha is like beer or

something alcoholic because domi knew that katherine was pregnant and was just like like just getting onto her multiple times throughout the lunch like you should not drink that you should not drink that you won't get tipsy you won't get tipsy you won't get and like and like even as she like we were just like kind of joking like oh yeah she's feeling it don't you know whatever and then as we were leaving like katherine was far far up there with hattie and she kind of like pulled me aside she's like you really need to tell her stop drinking that she cannot drink that anymore it's bad it's bad for her and i'm like i kind of joke laughing with her and she's like no i'm serious i'm serious it's bad so she definitely thinks that she's drinking while pregnant yes and you guys are just laughing about it yes

like because i kombucha is like fermented so there might be like trace amounts of alcohol in it maybe i don't know exactly how it works but it's definitely not like an illegal thing for kids to drink like you can buy it publicly anywhere i don't know how it all works but anyway it's just hilarious like she was like kind of the same idea like just this awkward like very blunt up front yeah you should you should do this you make gay videos she had this like smile on her face dude kind of lean forward like i'm not even like trying to extrapolate anything out of this i don't know they're like okay what is her perception of jake like or all three of us your friend's not coming today?

Maybe because you said Isaac's your roommate. I don't know. I don't know. Maybe that's a misconception to her. Like, oh, you guys live together? Oh, speaking of this, I wrote this down this week. Okay. Cute girls go to Chipotle.

Sure. Yeah. Yeah. Every time I'm in one, there's at least one very attractive girl in there. Really? So I'm here to say, if you guys don't know, cute girls go to Chipotle. Okay. So let's go ahead and just brainstorm real quick. Chipotle pickup lines. Okay. Okay. Okay. Um, bottom one. Can't say it. Okay. Do you want to say it and bleep out a bunch of the parts that you can't say? No, I want to say it right now and then we'll edit it out later. Okay, fine.

Hey, girl. Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh. That was a good one. Venmo me $30 if you want me to tell you. I think you're pretty carnitas. Like neat? Yeah.

I think you're pretty carnitas. Yeah. I think maybe say this one in a little accent. Oh, okay, okay, okay. Hey, hey, chicas. You looking burritoful. Oh, that was one of mine. Oh, okay, okay.

Burritoful. Ese. Hey, girl. I know guac might be extra, but you're just right. Goldilocks. Hey, Goldilocks. Are you calling her Goldilocks? Because you're just right.

Oh, oh, oh. Never mind. That makes sense. The porridge, the porridge. Yeah, yeah. Okay. Back to normal accent. I don't know if you've been watching The Bachelor or like eating Chipotle about singing we go chase some rice together.

Oh, shoot. You'd be my Victoria F. Hey, my name's Ken. Do you want to be my Barbie Koa? Nice. Woo! My name's Ken. Okay. koa nice okay hey hey girl are you the the green sauce at Chipotle because I'm I'm pretty sure you're extremely hot but I'm too nervous to get near you hey

normally I have to basket I don't need any tonight because you're too hot. Oh. Or you're hot enough. Yeah. Let's get a tortilla and get out of here. Let's make like a tortilla and roll. And roll out of here. That's all I got.

Yeah, that's a good portion. Good segment. Yeah. Anyway, cute girls go to Chipotle. I've yet to talk to one but they're there but you know what to say now but now now i have no excuse right if i had to choose one of those which one do you think i should go with um to just walk right up and say to which is so far not my style at all so right i think burrito full is the the safest bet in the mexican accent no no no no well it depends on who she is hey senorita because then you have to you have to commit to that accent for the rest of the relationship this is who i am now yeah uh you don't

know why i did that here i am uh i like that one what i don't even i think the ken and barbie one is for the best yeah Barbie one is the best. Yeah. That was the first one I like kind of turned it out. I want to be my Barbie Koa. Good stuff. Good stuff. Good stuff. Okay.

So. Okay. So next thing I thought of that too, but I couldn't think of how it was a pickup line. Baseball is finally back.

I have something I need your advice on. Cool. Is it financial advice? There could be finances involved, but right now I don't see that happening. I'm wearing a suit, so it feels like that's the type of advice I should be giving for Northwestern mutual. Oh yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Uh, you have some great, great insurance to tell me about go wildcats. Uh, side note after college, did you just get hit up all the time by financial planner? People that were like, just graduated college and we're like, Hey, I heard about you. Got your name from Scott. And, uh, just wanted to see if you were interested in, did you get that? Yes. As soon as I graduated, as soon as

YouTube started to go well. And then yesterday when a man came to my door, we'll talk about that later. Okay. Awesome. So my advice has nothing to do with any of that. My advice is this every morning at our house, we live on a corner lot so two streets on two sides two decently busy streets and one street is pretty darn busy one street is like a pretty good cross through street anyway so there's a lot of cars coming and going we're used to noises and stuff but there's one set of neighbors these people that are probably 45 years old that walk their two dogs every single day let's give them some names so i can kind of get into character here and feel out who they are. We'll call them Jen and Jan.

Jim and Jan. Jim and Jan. Jim and Jan. Are these the dog's names or human's names? Those are the human names. The dog names are Buster and Rocky. Okay. So Jim and Jan, Buster and Rocky are walking, and they walk every single morning,

rain or shine, snow or sleet. But they walk. Even in like an F5 earthquake, even in the F5s like, Whoa, you feel that rumble of the F5? It's shaking the ground. It's so big. Okay. Sorry. Keep going. Oh man. Fly like a G5, uh, F5. Gosh. And anyway, they walk unnecessarily close to our house. Oh, weird. Like I would bet, I would bet there, I don't want to exaggerate 15 feet, 10 feet. Oh, they're in your yard. Oh, they're definitely in our yard. They're definitely, they, cause they cross, they cross through from one street to the

next. And so they cut the corner, but they cut it so sharply that I'm pretty sure they've woken up Hattie before. They definitely woken me up, but I think they've woken up Hattie before, um, by being so close to Hattie's window. And I'm just like, okay, what do I do? How do I confront these people? What do I, how do I do that? Yeah. I've never talked to them before. Um, they're not like, I don't know where they live exactly, but I just know they come by every day and it's getting to the point where it's like, I don't mind if you cut through my yard a little bit, that's fine. Like cut through the, at the last, you know, 20 feet or so. That's great. Like we have a pretty big yard, but they're cutting through at a very sharp angle. They're like almost bumping their hip on the side of your house. They're cutting it so close.

It's I'm, I'm serious. It's crazy to the point where I'm like, why is this such an important thing for you to do? And how do you feel comfortable doing this? And so I want to just like confront them and just say, Hey, like kind of use my daughter as an excuse. Basically it'd be like, I have a daughter that's still sleeping. Can you please not do this? Cause sometimes your dogs bark or sometimes you're just talking. Sometimes Jan barks. Yeah. Sometimes Jan is getting a little too feisty. Um, you should really go Catholic, you know? Um, and so I just like, I need some advice. Like, what do I do? Do I, do I write, do I write something on the chalk in the driveway? Do I,

do I put up a sign? Like, like one of those steak signs, kind of like a real estate thing. Like, please do not get within 30 feet of our house. You can walk on it, but I never, like, I'm not like a old man, get off my lawn kind of guy, but I apparently I am when there's too much of your lawn that you're getting on. I think you got two options. One. One is you get a bunch of those obnoxious fake deer and you have a pretty much a stampede of deer in your yard at any time.

In a arsenal. Yeah. They like a gaggle of deer. I believe it's called. A pride of deer. Oh, that's what it is. Yes. of deer i believe it's called uh and pride of deer oh that's what it is yes a pride of deer and where they have to walk around them to get anywhere near it's making like an obstacle course

yeah almost like there's some deer low to the ground that they have to hop over and some deer else custom creations can build some different platforms custom made and one deer that's like like five and a half feet off the ground that they kind of have to limbo underneath to like get under uh yeah it's almost like a yeah an obstacle course ground that they kind of have to limbo underneath to like get under. Yeah. It's almost like a, yeah, an obstacle course. Yeah. That's one option. Second option is you follow them with your eyes one day to see where they live. Okay. You go knock on the door and you say, Hey, I don't like that. You're walking there. You walk wherever you want, but not next to my daughter. Right. She's allergic to dogs when she sleeps. She'll, she'll start sneezing right there during your REM cycle. It's just not good.

Okay. So, so you think going to their house is a better thing than just like hustling out of my house when I see them, but just like be like, Hey, hello, Jen. So I'm, my name is Brad Ellis, cousin creations.com. Um, we can make custom furniture for you, but we'd prefer you not walk on our lawn too quickly. I guess you could scurry out. Yeah. But yeah, it's, it, I'm not confrontational with that stuff unless I'm in the right mood, which I'm not usually. So maybe you just need to wait until you're in the right mood and then you go out and you pounce on them. Or I just wait long enough. And my wife will get like frustrated enough where she'll go do it.

That seems like a good tactic. Wait until, I mean, just for anything. Yeah. It's always good to wait until something bottles up and you can't take it any longer. Just frustrate your spouse to the point where they can't live with it anymore and just see what happens. Yeah. Yeah. Okay.

Yeah. Okay. Okay. Okay. We solved it. This is great. Kath, you hear it? Go.

Go out there next time. Keep bottling it up until you do something you're kind of going to regret. Okay. Okay. We solved it. This is great. Kath, you hear it? Go, go out there next time. Keep bottling it up until you do something you're kind of going to regret. Yeah. I, that's one of my, that's one of my things that I wish I was better at was confronting people or disagreeing with people without having any kind of malice towards them. Like, yeah, it's kind of hard. Does that make sense? Yeah.

You know what I'm saying? It's hard to be like a neutral disagreeer. Right. And people, people can do it and like, they can, they can very firmly disagree with you. Like Garrett, Garrett's really good at disagreeing with people and not really like offending them very often. Yeah. It's hard to do. Or he doesn't feel bad about offending people maybe. That's what it is. Because I think he like consciously knows, like, I'm not being mean to you. I'm just disagreeing with you. Yeah. To me,

I feel like I'm mean, I'm being mean. I'm, disagreeing with you. Yeah. To me, I'm just, I feel like I'm mean. I'm being mean. I have a malicious intent behind my disagreement. So I feel like if I confronted them, I would just be like, hey, stop. I don't know. I'm way meaner in my head than when I am when it comes time to actually talk to someone about anything. Yeah.

You kind of backtrack like, yeah, I don't know. I mean, what? I mean, obviously, like, if you really feel like you need to, like, lean to like lean on my house for balance that's fine whatever just please don't open up the windows and we're fine yeah yeah like the arguments i have in the shower i'm pretty ruthless but when it comes time to actually have any kind of sure conversation i'm pretty nice yeah i'm not that ruthless okay well that that solves it. I appreciate your advice. Yeah. Yeah.

Happy to. Glad I wore the suit for that. So yeah, currently training for me, people ringing the doorbell. Okay. I haven't had my doorbell rung in a long time. Not since title boxing when the guy missed the bat. Whoa, got my doorbell rung. Whoa.

Hope no one saw that. But yesterday, within 30 minutes, had it rung twice. Really? The first one was pretty wholesome and funny. Old man is at the door, and he says, Hey, just want to let you know we're headed out of town tomorrow. So just want to fill you in on that. Got a bunch of balloons on top of my house.

We're just going to go ahead and get out of here for a few days. And these huge glasses and this big nose there's this kid like peeking around the corner in a boy scout uniform who's that guy yeah yeah so essentially yeah the old man from up it comes to my door and it's so sweet it's such like an old man thing to do he has this whole piece of paper printed out for me of like where he's got it did you see that on the camera his itinerary yeah it's like that's such an old Did you see that on the calendar? His itinerary. Yeah. It's like. That's such an old person thing to do. On the 9th, we'll be at Mark and Jean's house.

And on the 14th, we're going to Norma Jane's. And I'm like, who are these people? Yeah. That was the funny thing to me is like he marked it out, but he didn't give you any other information on it. Like, oh crap, your house is on fire. But where are you at right now? Mark and Jean's.

Okay. You have to like cross-reference every Mark and Jean. Like what are you, how are you going to figure that out? He gave me his email, his phone number. At this point, I'm just assuming he's my neighbor. Cause he has not introduced himself to me as like, I live down the street. I don't know which house he lives in. He just comes in hot. Hey, how you doing? Great. Just want to let you know, I'm heading out of town. So I'm just like playing catch up this whole conversation. He's like, I wanted to go ahead and jot down your email address if I ever, you know, need to hit you up for something. I don't know. So I'm like, okay, well, it's just like, it's my last name than my first name. So it's just tripletjake at gmail.com

and I'm spelling it out for him. And we had this whole conversation about how he's worried that, you know, he told the mail to stop and he told the newspaper to stop. He wants to keep an eye on that i guess i could have asked him which house is his but sure i felt like we had this relational equity built on something that i didn't know yeah so i want to ruin it well i was right because even after i've given him my name and all this information he says all right peter well you have a good one oh it's like oh so he thinks I'm someone who looks completely different than me. Yeah. Okay. Peter's like this dark complected, like six foot two.

Yeah. Like we look pretty opposite for having white skin. Explain that relation with Peter though. And Peter is the guy, I mean, he's our friend. We talk about all the time. He does own the house. So I'm sure he met Wes when he was like renovating it and initially buying it. So they do have a relationship. But it's just funny that even after giving him my name and after all these signs of like

that he probably should have picked up on that i'm not peter oh yeah you gave him your you're like yeah my my email address is my name my last name and my first name and he's like the only guy i know is peter so i'm just gonna go ahead and go with peter i'm not gonna call him anything other peter sorry i've already stored it away in my brain as this house is Peter. That's funny. It was such a funny old person thing though. All right, Pete. Yeah, it's funny that like, I feel like one of the reasons that he's worried about his mail and his newspapers getting delivered is because he doesn't want people to know

he's out of town. Yes. Like that's dangerous. Like, oh, people could rob your house if they see all your mail out. But yet he's going around to multiple neighbors and say like, here's exactly where I'll be. I won't be back in town for another seven days. Alarm code is this. If you need to get in for a flood, garage code is this, you know, like. And that's what was initially confusing because I started to pick up on like, oh, okay. He's wanting me to kind of watch over his house in a way, but we don't know each other. Why are you

choosing me to be the watchful knight of your house? You know, he's something now my, my nephew, he's got a black Dodge Durango. He'll be in the driveway. You know, I'm like, I don't even know what you drive. Like, I don't know. I'm not this like Disturbia type neighbor, Shia LaBeouf with the binoculars, Blake Lively's lookalike. Like I've just, I just, that's funny. I don't know anything about your life. Maybe, maybe here's what he's doing. He's like, I might get robbed regardless of if I'm home or not. But when I go out of town, like I'm going to tell another guy where everything is going to be.

So if I do get robbed, he's the prime suspect and black Durango nephew just gets off scot-free. Dang. That's genius. Insurance is going to have a heyday with that. They're going to love it. They're going to call, there's going to be a case study. They're going to call it Operation Black Durango. Yes.

This is going to go down. People are going to be learning about this in textbooks. Yes. It's this old man, just unassuming guy. Really, he's in Mexico with Gene and somebody else. Norma. Norma and Gene. I don't know.

And just enjoying his life, sipping on Mai Tais with the Black Dorigo. Yeah. Wow. Second guy is not much of a story, but just came to my door wanting to help me financially invest. Okay. Which I thought was an interesting door-to-door tactic because he worked for like Charles Schwab.

He worked for Charles Schwab. Charles Schwab, guys. Hey, guys. It's me, Brad from Northwestern Mutuals. Yeah. So I don't know. Is that how they typically pick up clients? I don't know. I think we could get some feedback via podcast. Yeah. Apple's podcasts. But I think it's a pretty tough market to crack initially. So I think that you just grind as much as you can to get anybody on your team. Cause it's

like the, the initial stuff is not where you make the money. It's, you know, 10 years, 15 years down the road. So I think they just like the burnout rate for people from what I've understood is like, yeah, those first three years, if they don't go well, maybe two years, one year, whatever people are like, I can't do this anymore. I'm not making any money. But if you get enough client base, then you're just making money without having to do too much maintenance. Yeah. No more door to door. So, so maybe this guy's like, Hey, like I know that young guys live here. I'm going to go talk to them and see if they invest. I don't know. Cause yeah, a lot of, I know some people that have done it and they just have to do cold calls like crazy. And I'm just like, gosh, I don't want to, that's tough, man. I've felt the

urge to do that or the need to do that a little bit with my business, Alice Custom Creations. And that like, I don't love that. I like doing more defensive marketing where I post something and then somebody says, that's all I've ever done. Yeah. I'm interested in your table. Okay.

Awesome. Rather than being like, I would love to persuade you to get a table. Like I'm convinced I could do that. I just don't like that. I'd much rather have somebody that's like super excited to order from me than somebody who's like, oh, I didn't really think I needed this. But now that you're talking about it, I'm going to go ahead and do it because I feel a little pressured and uncomfortable right now.

It's like, I don't want, I don't want to do that. Exactly. I'm so much on the same page. I've always done the same thing. Like I did. It feels grimy. Like, okay, let's say I see a couple get engaged. It, it feels so weird to like hit them up. Like, Hey, whenever you guys need a wedding videographer, think of me or whatever. Like that feels just the wrong way to do it.

I've never done anything so much as like sending an initial text, right? Just let it come to me. It feels so much better. Cause you know, they genuinely want it. Yes. Like, and I'm obviously like sarcastically always plugging my business here that's about it i don't really talk about it anywhere else too much i'll think i just make t-shirts and have other people wear them all the time so and that's it yep that's how i do and i wear them every single day but the uh charles schwab guy also his like fourth question out of the gate that was on purpose okay i genuinely thought you were struggling again. I mean, it is a hard word for me to say, but that was a little exaggerated. The Charles Schwab guy.

Fourth question out of the gate was, where do you go to church? So for a brief moment, I was like, oh, do you work for Schwab? Or is this like some evangelism thing hidden under this? Well, Jesus, dude. Yeah, Schwab like polo that you're wearing right now. Anyway, nice guy. Thanks for coming to my door, Steve, if you're listening. From what I understand, and tell me if I'm wrong in a five-star review, financial advisors out there, but I think it's pretty, I don't want to, I don't want to offend

anybody, whatever. I think it's pretty easy to get into like a job like that because from what I understand, it's pretty much almost all commission. And so like, like, yeah, you can take a crack at it. Sure. Like I know people that work work for Northwestern mutual and they pay for office space there. Like the employees do. Yes. Oh. And so they're like technically working for Northwestern mutual, but it's really their own business. They're like leasing a job from Northwestern. I could be wrong. If I'm wrong, let me know. But that's what I understand. So whatever Charles Schwab, like maybe he's like, yeah, I'm Charles Schwab, but I'm working for myself here doing whatever I can.

So respect the hustle, but I feel for him. Anyway. Fair. Yeah. Does, I don't think this is too personal. Maybe it is. Does Catherine take baths? Not regularly.

I think she probably would prefer it if we had deeper tubs. Our tubs in our house are pretty shallow. Gotcha. But she has in the past, but not often. I would say three times a year at our house. Maybe if we're going to some nice hotel or something. Once, elsewhere. Yeah.

I don't know why this dawned on me, but just recently I was like, Whoa, baths. Disgusting. Okay. Yeah. Like I think I got to the age where I just started taking showers and never really thought about it again. But now that I'm here as an adult thinking about what baths are, you just sit in your dirt. Yeah. And then you just, yeah, you kind of clean off, but you continue to sit in your, in your germs. Sure. And what you just cleaned off. Yeah. I've heard that feeling before. What an inefficient way to clean yourself. So like, you know, so do you feel dirty when you get out of a pool? No. Cause that's chlorine. Well, you got soap. Yeah. At the, in the bath. Yeah. I understand your logic and I'm not, I'm not disagreeing necessarily. I'm just kind of

pushing back a little, which maybe is me disagreeing. i'm not disagreeing i'm just saying that i don't agree okay you know one day one day i'll say something and you'll be like fully on board and you'll like that's not a very fun uh podcast if i'm just like yeah dude that's the end oh no i don't think i think it's more than yeah dude yeah dude filth no it's more than just two words listen to any other podcast with like two other comedians oh okay one guy brings something up and then the other one's like yeah you know and okay okay let's do it again let's do it okay okay dude here's something what is the deal with girls taking baths dude yes like okay why are we why are we sitting in our own filth filth i'm trying to get clean. I'm

still dirty. I'm in the same bath water as I was before. Like, okay. I see something floating there. What the heck is that? Where'd that come from? Was that on my knee earlier? It might've been, it's still in my vicinity. Yeah. Like when, when was the last time I played with pine needles? Why is that there? Exactly. Now you're wondering, wait, who took a bath in here earlier? Right. A piney, piney person? Yep. I don't know. The old piner. Yes, could be. The old prospector with his piney needles.

Yeah, prospecting, pining. Yes. But okay, what am I supposed to do? Drain and then refill once the dirt is off? That seems not right. I'll be a shivering little boy in that tub. Just take a shower. Yeah, yes.

Just take a shower and then just get cozy in bed and be cozy there. And be so dry with no needles You got candles and wine you could put on your bedside table. Yes, you don't need a bath for that So many girls on Instagram every week are like they've got their little tray over the tub, which does look nice It could be an Ellis custom creation Oh, I'm gonna say let's go some crazy to make one of those a bathtub tray where they're watching Netflix with their candles and just bathing it up. Don't act like bubbles make it any better either. Thank you.

Like, oh, there's bubbles in here. Oh, I'm not dirty anymore. Yeah. Yeah. Bath salts? Those things are just penetrating the wrong holes. Yeah. Don't do that.

Yeah, I don't want it. Those things are activating the wrong sensations. And if you eat bath salts, it's very, very bad news. Yes. Just shower. Just shower and drink bath salts is what you're saying. Yes. Yeah.

You don't need to eat them. They're bitter. Yeah. They don't taste good. I'm saying shower. Save your time. You don't save water, I guess. Actually, I don't know how much water is used.

10 minute shower versus a medium sized bathtub. I'll tell you the answer to that. Who cares? Baths are disgusting. They're filthy. Right? Yes. Why do we take baths?

I bet somebody's listening to this podcast right now, bathing. In a tub right now. And they're looking at the water and they're like, oh, what is that film on top? Gross. Gosh, it's like a Missouri country pond over here. Like what's that scum? What is that? Yes.

You just run your hand over it and you're like, you look at it and you're all pruney? Yeah. Think about this. We're all familiar with the movie Finding Nemo's. Yes, yes. Uh-oh. The filter breaks where they cannot get fresh water in there. What happens to that little tank after just a mere three days?

Sure. Before you know it, you're backside up. And it's very green. You can't even see. Sick. Little demon girl. Yeah. Because it's so green in there.

Oh my gosh. That's what's happening on a smaller scale in the bathtub every week you have no filter you're just you're just stuck in this green aquarium sick with a with a starfish drain it down turn on the shower and let's let's change from america yeah and put some clothes on whoever's listening to this in the bathtub right now seriously that's disgusting don't listen we don't need to listen no no naked listeners all right nnl that's our policy here at the ghost runners podcast ghost runners podcast on instagram dot five stars yeah five stars on instagrams.com golly kath we're shower family now i'm how he takes bath baths. I'm vetoing it right now. Ew.

I'm vetoing it. She's gross, dude. She's gross. Gross. Gross kid. What a sick girl. I'm just kidding, Hattie. I love you so much.

But we're taking showers from now on, girl. And thanks for listening too, by the way. Yeah. She did. She told me the other day. She's like,

I was listening to you and Mr. Jake's bar cast. That's fun. I was like, oh, what? Your bar cast? Huh? Mr. Jake said something funny. Oh, nice. Yeah.

So anyway. So yeah, that's an example of just jumping on board. Just riffing it. Exactly. Okay. Okay. Sometimes I think, oh, it'd be better if I'm kind of yin and yang, disagreeing.

But you're like, no, dude. Because I can always see both sides. But I'll see your side better. Not all the time. I'll close one eye. I'll be wink. It'll look like I'm winking. But really, I'm just seeing your side.

I'm ignoring that other side. I'm losing my depth perception. I'm not that other side. I'm losing my depth perception. I'm not looking at anything else unless it's you. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, not all the time. Not just a blind disagree. Okay.

But if I'm like someone on board, just hop on. Hop on it, baby. If I'm one cheek on, one cheek off, just go ahead and sit down all the way. Yeah. Okay. Let's take a look at all the things people on Instagram said for us to talk about. Okay. Yeah. Are you able to do that on your computer?

Yes. I am going to Instagram.com backslash Ghostrunners podcast. Okay. And looking at it there. Ooh. First of all, I'm saying what skill do you envy in others? Okay. I already kind of referenced it.

I envy people that can be blunt without offending people. I really genuinely think that's like a very rare skill to have. And I think that people that can do it are almost's like a very rare skill to have. And I think that people that can do it are almost always successful. That's a good one. Cause they can communicate effectively without hurting people's feelings. Yeah. That's a good skill. Yeah. What's coming on from here? Like being a morning person, being disciplined or even both at the same time, like starting your things go hand in hand. Yeah. Starting your morning with discipline. Shout out Gunnar. Gunnar's that. Yeah, he is. Yeah. Being able to sing really well. That's a skill I really envy. Really wish I could

sing. Gunnar actually can do both those things. Gunnar's disciplined morning person. He can't sing, but he also is good at being blunt. So maybe Gunnar's just our role model. He's the ultimate human. Being a good singer is another thing. I really respect people that can like dunk a basketball because I will, I don basketball because I think I could work my whole life for that, especially now that I'm almost 30 years old and I guarantee you I could never do that. Yeah, that's too bad.

Hannah said, who is an actor or actress you will watch no matter what type of movie or show they're in? Yeah. One, two, three. Tom Hanks. Every time.

Yeah, come on. I don't care if he's on a boat, a plane, an island. Or has an IQ of 75. I'll watch it. I don't care if he's on a boat, a plane, an island. Or has an IQ of 75. I'll watch it. I'm in. Sure. Tom hanky-panky me all night.

Yes. Yes. If it's on, I'll watch it. Not in the bath, though. Not in the bath, though. Take a quick shower and then go into bed and get it on the iPad. We watched Catch Me If You Can the other night. Nice.

So good. Nice. So good. Is Kyle Han ready? Kyle Han ready. Knock, knock. He's a kid. Barry Allen. Okay. Bonnie Unsworth wants to know what our first jobs were. Mine, I've always kind of had really good jobs. My first one was being a professional statistician

for the Springfield Cardinals, which is the AA affiliate of the St. Louis Cardinals. So I just kept very in-depth and detailed statistics of this baseball game from ages like 16 to 19. It was awesome. That sounds fun. And you got to watch baseball. And it was like my two passions anyway, baseball and math. That's awesome. I got paid to watch. You could have like probably gone up the ranks in that. Maybe. Yeah. Yeah. I went off to college and started the book company. So I just did that instead. Gotcha. Uh, I had an internship quote unquote through my high school and it was the worst thing ever. I, I worked, uh, in a house, like it was just this woman that ran a business through her house and she was the worst communicator I've ever met.

Like I had no idea what I was doing. She always told me I was doing a good job, but I was like, I literally have done nothing today. Like I didn't know what the company even was. I couldn't tell you right now. It was like, it was some kind of like consulting company. And there was one time where she wanted me to like meet her and another client at the Hy-Vee food court. And so I did. And she was like, okay, Brad, go ahead and tell us your presentation. And I was like, oh my gosh, I have no idea. It was so bad. What did you start doing? I think I was like, well, we have this database, you know, and I just talked about the one thing I've ever done. PowerPoint. PowerPoint. And up comes the toolbar. So I don't know what I like,

I genuinely like. That's what she said. And I got paid so much money. Well, so much for the time. I think I got paid like $13 an hour, which is a lot. You told the cop, well, I don't have money on me, but I paid $13 an hour at my job. I got a, I got a paycheck. It's for like $168. Is that cool? Um, but I got paid 12, $13 an hour, whatever it was. And in high school, that's like a lot of money. Uh, especially back then. I feel like the minimum wage has gone up, but, and it was like the worst job ever. I remember I went from that to being a bank teller, being a bank teller, so much better. Ryan told you to tell women you work at finance. Yes that to being a bank teller, being a bank teller so much better. Ryan told you to tell women you work in finance.

Yes. I'm a bank teller. But I got paid like $9 an hour, but it was so much more enjoyable and so much more worth it. So I learned right then and there, like money is not everything. Even that like micro scale. That's a good skill to learn or a good lesson to learn. Oh, she was the weirdest lady, dude. She was so weird. And she heated up her coffee in the microwave, which I know is not that weird of a thing. But ever since then, anybody that does it, I always cringe a little bit because I think of Becky Rawls Riley. And you're going to have such a hot mug.

Yes. The handle has got to be warm. She was so weird, dude. I can't even, I could go on. I could go on forever, baby. Josh Willis asked, if Brad Pitt tried to kiss you, would you back away? Yes. I, yeah, i yeah on the lips is that what we're assuming on the lips on the cheek i let him have at it sure yeah get one right there yeah that's fine but if he like kissed me on the cheek and then like

started moving in towards my mouth i think i would probably grab the back of his head and like put it over my shoulder and like hug him. You think you have the ability to do that? I would hug him dearly and be like, thank you for the kiss on the cheek. You'd cradle that cap. Yeah. Yeah. Like the back of his neck, like his brain stem. Yeah. And like, Hey, I don't want you to kiss me on the lips, but I really respect you. And, um, my mom taught your nephew in kindergarten. uh it's really yeah because he has he went to high school in springfield and has a lot of roots there and yeah landon pitt oh i'm pretty sure yeah oh man no i i would i would not but something he also josh willis also asked if we were playing

a game of chicken where we both you and i i don't think either of us would would flinch what i don't think we would i would flinch you would going at your lips but if it's like if it's a competition we're just so competitive you and i both like don't like to lose uh to a degree i don't know i would lose before i kissed you what if it was a money bet how much hundred dollars oh and we get a hundred dollars if we just go all the way in no the loser gets a hundred dollars or no i'm sorry the winner the winner gets a hundred dollars but then we're both just gonna kiss each other that's my point that's that's what i'm saying we would we would both we would we would neither of us would flinch i think i would not kiss you and just let you have a hundred dollars would you yeah okay then that

then i guess the answer is jake would flinch i guess i would flinch, but I also like, who knows what a kiss could do for us as podcasters? Are we about to? Guys, we're going to pause the podcast real quick. You make gay videos? This is why she asked. Don't be new. She's a prophet. You should really be Catholic.

You should be. You have prophetic powers. Yeah. Oh, that's funny. Someone said, and actually I'm more reading this, the reply is great. So an account that says LightLyRoasted, which is an interesting username, said what is Jake? Lightly Roasted. Oh, well, there's an underscore between Light and Lee.

Okay. Okay. That's a good point. Maybe it's LightLyre maybe it's light liar like they're like they play a liar like a harp sure light liar oh stead lightly roasted says what is jake looking for in a wife and then our fan account ghost hunters on second said jake is married and brad is not which is an episode title or jake is not married brad is she lightly roasted you which is the name of her account.

Yeah. That's great. Which is funny. So, yeah. I don't know. This account doesn't. It looks like a burner account. Like it has no like post or anything.

But I've said it before on the podcast. Just real quick. Three things. Very smart. Very fun. Very attractive. Sure. That's it.

That's it. That's it. Just those big three things. I'm not willing to budge on any of them. That's it. I think that's. And that's in order. Very smart. Very attractive. Sure. That's it. That's it. That's it. Just those big three things. I'm not willing to budge on any of them. That's it. I think that's pretty much. And that's in order. Very smart, very fun, very attractive.

Okay. That seems easy enough. Yeah. That's why. Yeah. I think that's what everyone kind of looks for. It feels easy. Yeah.

I got that in my babe. Good job. Thanks. You did. Yeah. Favorite place to eat other than Chick-fil-A, Chipotle and Oklahoma Joe's, Joe's KC. Hmm. Chili's. Yeah. You love the Chili's grill and bar. It's not bar and grill. Just FYI. Hey, good for them. Good for them. Good for Chels.

Prioritizing the grill. Uh, favorite, favorite basketball drills slash moves slash plays that have really helped your game? Such a funny question. You got one? I didn't play enough basketball to truly have a great answer. We had to run suicides at the end of practice like everyone always does. That was your favorite? And then we had to – well, I actually liked conditioning too. Really?

In a weird way. Oh, I hated it. Because for a big guy, I had some pretty good endurance. Okay. And so like, I kind of like, they weren't expecting me to win ever, you know, but they, but I was hustling better than a lot of other people were. And so it was like, Brad got second to last, but look how hard that big man's going, you know?

And so it was like, oh, this is great. And one of the ones we had to do suicides and then we had to shoot two free throws. And if we missed two, then we had to do two more suicide miss. Like, and so I got a lot better at free throws because you don't want to miss. You don't want to run. So that's, that's my quick answer. I have one tip to anyone out there. When you get better at basketball, watch the movie, Pete Maravich, Birth of a Legend. You've seen it? Oh, of course. So many times. My dad showed it to me when I was in probably first grade or something. And I became obsessed with that movie. I watched it once a week.

I wore a basketball out, like dribbling it in my basement so much. Like it had no more like dots on it. It was like super smooth. Yeah. I learned how to like spin a ball in my finger by like third grade. Cause I was so obsessed with him doing that. He's amazing. Yeah.

It's a. You seen Pistol Pete? Is it Pistol Pete or the pistol? The movie. That's what I'm talking about. Like. Oh, I thought you were. I thought you were. Trash Rob. i thought you were talking about the fundamental video oh i have no idea what you're talking about there's a movie like yeah called the pistol

or pistol pete the birth of a legend oh okay that's the same one okay okay yeah there's also a fundamental one that he does where he like shows you how to do some of his drills also incredible oh interesting yes no the pistol Yeah, that one's awesome too. Because he's amazing. Yeah, he's the man. So just all of Pistol Pete's drills. Just take in more of him. What's the best joke you've heard slash remember?

I'm so bad at remembering jokes. Jokes are tough to remember. The only one I ever remember is, what do you call someone who's scared of Santa? Claustrophobic. That's the only one I remember. That and what's beethoven's favorite fruit which is mozart anyway oh really i think huh not even factual i'm trying to think of uh because yeah jokes like the laffy taffy jokes those aren't funny i'm trying to think of like a

like a tweet or something that's there's one that i remember it's gonna be kind of hard to explain via audio instead of reading it but it's like you know remember. It's probably kind of hard to explain via audio instead of reading it, but it's like, you know, the husband is like holding up two ties to his wife. It's like, uh, you know, before his big interview, like, which one do you think for the interview today? Wife says both look great. And then like fast forward later in the day, how was your interview? Well, wearing two ties was a terrible idea. That's kind of funny. I mean, there's stuff, a funnier stuff out there. Just first thing I can remember from Twitter right now. Love it. Uh uh biggest risk you ever took that's a good question

biggest risk i ever took do you have an answer most of the risks i've taken have always been like career-wise yeah because i'm a pretty calculated risk guy i don't like me too that's why i take that many risks but i've taken several career-wise i guess probably the biggest one was leaving and granted my contract was over it's not like I left in the middle of my youth ministry job, but I went from being a youth pastor to pretty much agreeing to move to Dallas and live with this guy who I didn't know with the potential of becoming a YouTuber and really believed in Josh and rightfully so like things went really well. I loved my time in Dallas. It was awesome. But yeah, moving to Texas away from everyone away from, you know, family and friends and everything I'd built in Kansas

city for three years with the hope that like, and at first it wasn't even like, I had no idea what to expect. I just roll in there to, you know, Josh Horton's YouTube account. And then, you know, with the hope of like, yeah, I'll definitely help film and edit. And like, maybe my personality will be like confused in front of the camera a little bit. And then things went well, I think a month into it already, he changed the channel to Jake and Josh and everything. But so things went really well, but they could have easily not gone well. I could have moved to Dallas and be like, wow, what was I thinking?

I just moved in with a stranger to make YouTube videos with no income. Right. On Twitter a few times or something, right? Yeah. Like you just talk like back and forth messages and then you're like, I'm going to do it. Yeah. So. Yeah.

So that was kind of scary. Yeah. I'm kind of like you were like the biggest risk I would say is definitely my business going from this safe corporate job, worked at the biggest company in Kansas City and was working there for like two years and then just quit to do this business thing. But like you said, it's like a calculated risk. Sure. Like kind of like you were moving to Dallas, but you were getting free housing, you know?

And so it was like you didn't have crazy expenses. That's true. Same with me. Like I quit my job by the time Catherine was working for this ministry job where we had housing provided from us or for us. So we didn't have crazy expenses or anything like that. So yes, it was a risk, but it was like, but if it doesn't work out, I can just find another job kind of thing.

Like I'm not, I'm not so crazy that if I fail at this, I didn't put tons of money into it or anything at the beginning or anything like that. So I don't know. Yeah. Sorry. We're not more risky people. Surely we've like jumped off a building somewhere or something i've jumped off some stuff yeah new zealand yeah yeah that's the way quick tip if you're ever going to go bungee jumping go the body harness route that's all i'll say just trust me which one's that like you're more like

like you're about to like rock climb or something because i think most bungee jumping they just like wrap you around your ankles. Oh, yeah. And then you just kind of fall forward. Oh, so this is like a body harness. Underwear almost. Yeah. Like you can jump off however you want.

Back flip, front flip, side flip. Sure. And it makes it way scarier. Because I did like a jump and spin for the photo, obviously. But what I didn't process before jumping, which kind of silly was like oh if i jump and spin to aim towards the camera i will be falling backwards yeah which was terrifying so much scarier than skydiving was because just falling backwards to the earth yeah no looking up at the sky and just falling down it was awesome golly it was one of the only times in my life i've like

involuntarily screamed bungee jumping or skydiving bungee jumping really skydiving was like i should scream because i'm skydiving but you didn't like but it wasn't as like real but it was like i'm terrified really yeah mommy oh oh that's funny okay uh let's go to some voice memes yes sweet we got i think four we haven't listened to any of them should be fun hey jake and brad this is jessica from vancouver canada i love your guys's podcast and i love the chiefs go chiefs they won the superbowl pumped about it so one thing i can say about your podcast is i was not a Chiefs or football fan in general before listening to your podcast and I've been converted so mission accomplished there all right I do have a question for you guys as I am from Vancouver Canada do you have any stereotypes of Canadians that you

maintain and if you guys went to Canada to visit what city would you visit all right thanks again bye guys thank you Jessica we've talked about Canada a little bit on the podcast before I went to Canada to visit, what city would you visit? All right. Thanks again. Bye guys. Thank you, Jessica. We've talked about Canada a little bit on the podcast before. I talked about how hot their prime minister was. Oh yeah. Maybe the question was more like, what are the things you know about Canada? Now we have stereotypes of Canadians. The question originally was that, right? Okay. I don't know. I think it was like, what are some facts you know? And we're like, they got provinces. Nova Scotia is up there health care new fin newfound land i think is how you pronounce that or new fin new finland new finland in labrador not no not lind i think it's new finland oh okay that's good to know my wife taught me that i follow that account on

instagram what is it just like newfoundland and labrador i think maybe that's the username because i like discovered it isn't that a dog as well? It is. They're both dog names, which is weird. But, you know, you, it's easy to like more than ever to like discover places in the world via an Instagram influencer going there. But this place I discovered and I want to be the influencer that shows other people. And that's right. You're like, no one's going. No one's ever been here.

Obviously people have discovered it before. Hernando de Soto probably. Yeah. But I've been following them because it looks beautiful and I want to go. I haven't gone yet. Okay. So your stereotypes are that they have beautiful places that are undiscovered. Yes.

Um, they love Tim Hortons coffee. Yeah. They're very polite. Very polite. Like that's my biggest stereotype. Basically all my stereotypes come from how I met your mother. Okay.

Cause Robin Scherbatsky was Canadian. And, um, yeah, very polite. Like, like overly polite. Like you bump into them oh sorry didn't i shouldn't i shouldn't have it didn't mean to have you bump yeah right what was i thinking standing there i have some stereotypes about toronto just because i think they say they have like different accents just in toronto i think okay like dings dings instead of things like they say dings there is that more of a t or a d a t it's almost

like caribbean oh yeah yeah it's not quite that far but my stereotype that i assume is like yeah i think toronto speaks differently than the rest of the place i hear vancouver is like incredible i loved i spent like 10 hours in vancouver and it was awesome okay went on a old boat. That's definitely the city I would go to if I could go to any city in Canada. I went to Montreal as well. Not as cool as Vancouver, but still fun. Very old city. Yeah. There, there's a stereotype is that there's lots of French influence in Canada. A lot in Montreal. Yeah. Montreal and Quebec. Sure. I think Quebec sounds French. I think Quebec, they like some of the people speak French. Oh, in Montreal, it was like, uh, like more so that was a majority, like a lot of street signs. Oh, rich. Okay. Which is so interesting. Like, what do you mean? Well, it's just so interesting

that like a country has one national language. Maybe they have, Oh, but city by city, it kind of changes. Cause I mean, that's kind of how Texas, like some parts of Texas have lots of like advertisements that are in Spanish and stuff, but like they still have English on the roads, you know? Yeah. It's just an interesting concept to be like, they're all the same country, but they speak different languages. That's what I think about America and just like the different dialects of English there

are. Yeah. True. Like, park your car. My father was a cop. Yeah. Park your car. Smart park.

Yeah. Love that. Like that's a part of our country, but also so is like the bayou.ou and you can park your car in new orleans that wasn't that wasn't good by you and so is like surfer culture and so is hawaii yeah and so is minnesota right now because america's so huge which is canada's even bigger in size isn't it stereotype? Stereotype. I think Kenna's huge. I don't know. I don't know. Yeah. Anyway, those are some stereotypes.

Yeah. Who was it, Morgan? Jessica. I'm so good at remembering names. Hey, Brad and Jake. This is Rose. I wanted to start by saying I'm from California. And Jake, I know you and Trey aren't coming to any cities in California.

I'm so sorry. But I am so happy for you guys. And I'm quite bummed you will not be making it out this way. How's that? Nice. You guys, I needed your opinion on something. This happened today at work. And it's happened before. Sometimes girls will say to other girls, oh my gosh, you look so tired.

Or are you tired? True. And it's the most like not PC thing you could say to anyone. And it's such a pet peeve of mine that I want to know a good comeback to say something witty you guys can discuss, but something to say back to these people that are just saying something so ridiculous. All right. You guys are awesome.

Have a good day. Bye. Thank you, Rose. So I actually have written down on my notes, like my podcast note, you look so tired because this is an observation I've had before. It's the most un-PC thing to ever say to somebody, apparently. That seems extreme. That seems very extreme.

I see Rose's point. Are you a natural redhead? That's pretty un-PC. Yeah. I love the like, oh Are you a natural redhead? That's pretty on PC. Yeah. I love the like, oh, you look comfy. Yeah. Yeah. I woke up late.

Okay. It's not formal Fridays. I didn't realize you wore glasses. It's like, I don't usually, but I'm tired today. Oh, so did your like water get shut off or like you weren't able to shower or like what's, what happened there? Whoa. Yeah.

Come on. Hey. Yeah. You look tired this is you you you stayed up for the whole game huh maybe yeah i guess this is fine to say whatever i a small group that i went to like two weeks ago one of the girls when i was leaving asked me if i was tired not that i look tired but just straight up i was like oh are you tired and i was like oh no in fact no like not even like more than like less than normal.

You know, like I feel pretty good. She's like, oh, just like your joke seemed less prime tonight. I was like, well, we're at small group Bible study. Sorry. I wasn't performing to your like standards tonight. Hey everyone. Thanks for coming out Ephesians. We appreciate it. Same time next week. Yeah. Tip your apostles. Tip your posses. Yeah, that was like an actual sentence that was said to me. Were you tired? Oh, I just didn't know.

Your jokes weren't as prime tonight. I didn't know there was a standard I was supposed to like be at. Because these people, I don't even know. Like they don't know what I do. I was about to say that. I was about to say. Sorry, go ahead. I mean, it would almost be more. Because not that I would consider myself a comedian, but you could make that like jump that that's

what I do. And so if someone were to know that, then they could maybe give me a hard time about maybe not being funny. Every sense of it is actually a stretch though. Yeah. What a weird thing at a small group. I think you're, you're kind of getting to this, this point in life where if people don't know you very well, they see you as this guy that's on Instagram. And you're like not always hilarious on Instagram. Like sometimes you're kind of normal. But most of the time you're trying to do something funny. Yeah.

And so people are just like, oh, this guy's funny all the time. Whereas like us as friends, we're just like, no, we're just having a normal conversation. That'd be exhausting. Right. So that's just a funny thing to say. It was weird. It was like my third time going. Like,

I don't even know if these people know my last name, much less like who I am or what I do or anything. It was such a weird thing. Yeah. You look tired. Okay. Anyway, back to Rose.

She's looking for a comeback. Someone says, you look tired today. Yeah. Tired of hearing your mouth. Hey, I don't know. Tired.

I'm trying to think of an actual one. Tired of, yeah, I was up all night watching highlight. I'm trying to think of an actual one. Tired of. Yeah, I was up all night watching highlight videos of the Chiefs winning the Super Bowl. What did your 49ers do? That's what you could say. She's from California. She's a California. California dreamboat.

Yeah, sorry. You look tired tonight. Or tired today. Hey, shut up. Oh, you say. Oh, I got one. Knock, sorry. You look tired tonight or tired today. Hey, shut up. Oh, you say, oh, knock, knock. You give the Carl Hanratty joke. I have the comeback. Okay. It's a famous, I think Winston Churchill quote. A woman on the street goes up to him and says like,

you are so drunk. You should not be like handling yourself this way. You should be a more respectable member of the community or whatever. And he says, well, ma'am, while in the morning, uh, I will not be drunk. You will still be ugly. That's pretty mean. However, here's what Rose says. You know what? I am tired today, but tomorrow I'm going to get a good night's sleep. I'm not going to be tired and you will still be rude. Nice. Oh! And that's a little bit less cutting than the ugly. Than just their physical appearance. Yeah.

So shout out Churchill. There you go, Rose. So Rose, FYI, if you say that, there's going to be some sparks that are going to start flying. Good sparks. So there's going to be some tension there. So choose wisely. The sparks play in California. So it makes sense.

Yeah. Lisa Leslie will come out of the woodwork for you. Oh, yes, she will. Hi, guys. My name is Jessica. I'm a longtime listener, and I'm listening to You Hate Albuquerque, and I cannot stop laughing. What in the world? I raped that snob.

What is happening? Is she like with other people or just by herself laughing i literally laugh like this every time i listen to your podcast that's why it's one of my favorites keep it up have a good day that's awesome rape that snow that is cool to i guess hear someone laugh to our podcast because you don't get that gratification no podcast you get some dms i don't hear the laughter i got to watch um my friend scott watching our chief's parade video for the first time last night and it was like in public and he was dying laughing really loud it was like to the point where it's almost embarrassing but it was

also like this is great like that's awesome scott's loving this. It's so fun to make people laugh. Apparently at Memphis Grizzlies games, they play this song a lot. They call it Whoop That Trick. Okay. Maybe they should change it to Rape That Snope. Is that a bad idea? How did you even think of that just now? Because it sounds the same.

Whoop that trick. Yeah, maybe. Maybe they should. Hi, Jake and Brad. My name is Allie. I live in Memphis, Tennessee. I absolutely love your podcast. I love listening to it at home

when I'm cleaning or in the car. Y'all are so funny. I love it. My husband and I both really love The Office and Chick-fil-A. And Brad, my husband,

builds tables and end tables and stuff. He is a dental resident, but he does that kind of on the side for fun. So I feel like we have a lot in common and could just all be best friends. My question for you this week is about Dunkaroos. So Dunkaroos are coming back this summer. They're a really nostalgic snack of mine when I was a little kid and I'm 28 and I think y'all are around the same

age. So I feel like maybe it is the same for you too. I used to sit in the floor eating Dunkaroos, watching Rugrats. So my question for you this week is what was your favorite nostalgic snack when you were a kid? Thanks. Love it. Great question. That's awesome. First of all, Dunkaroos, never had them. Really? Not until college. I had them in college yeah do you remember my line from the 90s ref about dunkaroos give me the first okay so watch me dunkaroo too sipping on that you who you want to play games girl yeah you know i time i got you yeah that's a good line yeah it was so my favorite thing to eat eat as a kid was nutty bars. Oh, really?

Yeah. Turrets in a package? You ever leave those things in the car a little bit and they melt? They melt quick. Yeah, disgusting. Yeah, they do. Those things are all over your hands. Which is part of the satisfaction.

It's like, you got to make sure it's in the right setting. You know, they're kind of high maintenance. Yeah. Don't take a bath while you're eating a nutty bar. It's going to be disgusting. Or you could, and you could just look down and be like, I think that's Nutty Bar. Nutty Bars are my answer for sure. Did you ever get down on Lunchables?

Those were a big snack for me. No. My mom, bless her heart, she's the best. She's so frugal that she made me my own Lunchables. Oh, I could make you those. Yeah. We have Lunchables at the house. Yeah.

I'll just buy some pepperonis and some crackers and give them to you in a bag. So it's not the same like i was always so jealous of the people that had compartments for their pepperoni yeah so no never had the lunchables uh those are awesome i love the pizza lunchable mainly the pizza one was by far the coolest yeah yeah you got that little stick to spread the sauce on yes very like not a good functionality shaped stick to spread sauce with. It's a flat stick, wasn't it? Yeah. I don't know why they made it that shape. Yeah. Mike Schneider had Lunchables every day. Really? Very jealous of Mike. Munther Fry? Munther Fry. Wow. Good for him. Everybody pound. Everybody pound. Yeah. I'm trying to think of other snacks. I still get down on oatmeal cream pies. I got

those in the pantry right now. Those are good. Not the jumbo though. Same with double stuffed Oreos. Anything with cream in the middle, don't give me too much. Oh, I love double stuffed Oreos. Really? Yeah. We have a lot upstairs if you want some.

Okay. And I prefer single stuff. I'll rip up in that bag real nice. Yeah. Nutty bars were good. Rich chocolate Ovaltine. Not really a snack in itself, but I love chocolate milk Ovaltine Rich chocolate Ovaltine. Not really a snack in itself, but I love chocolate milk Ovaltine.

More Ovaltine, please. Moral. Yeah, exactly. That was in my rap song as well. It was. Let's just bring that. That's what we need to play at the end of this episode. Oh, I don't know.

Yeah, it's so good, dude. Maybe a part of it. I'll play a part of it at the end of this. It's just, dude, I recorded that song using my MacBook's microphone. I'll play a part of it at the end of this. It's just, dude, I recorded that song using my MacBook's microphone. I was sitting at a desk like this and just recorded it into my computer from like 18 inches away. It sounds great. It sounds dynamite.

It's not as easy as it could be, but it's still pretty easy. You'll figure it out, Becca. If you're, if you're able to listen to this podcast, you're, you're able to probably find that link. Exactly. Real quick. I know you weren't there,

so I don't want to talk about it too much. Cause then you're just going to be on the receiving end of all this stuff. But the Post Malone concert was pretty sick. I was not planning on going to the concert that night. I texted, I knew Isaac was going to be going to the concert. So I just texted my other roommate, Greg, like, maybe we can hang out. So I'm like, what are you doing tonight, dude? And he's like, well, trying to get rid of these eight Post Malone tickets. I was like, oh, well, I could probably do that, I guess. And so I went and it was pretty cool. By far the biggest concert I've ever been to, because I don't really go to that many, much less like a top 40 superstar, pop star, whatever.

So it was fun getting to see that many people there and kind of the roar of the crowd. Their Sway Lee open for him, garbage. That dude had more auto-tune than O'Reilly auto parts, I'll tell you what. I don't know. I was not playing on Sagnet. That was dumb.

But he, and the main part, so he was not a very good performer or singer, but he would try to segue his, like, into the next song, like, really in cute ways, and they were the worst. Give me one. Yeah. I can only remember one, so don't ask for another. He'd be like, all right, hope you guys like that song.

Kansas City! So then we'd just cheer, because that's what you do. Yeah. I think when he didn't know what to say, he would just say Kansas City. So then we'd just cheer because that's what you do. Yeah, I think when he didn't know what to say, he would just say Kansas City. So we'd cheer. And then he's like, man, you guys went to the Super Bowl!

So then we'd cheer again. And then he's like, so I bet when you guys found out that you were going to the Super Bowl, you wanted to like go there in a hurry. You wanted to power drive. This next song is called Power Drive. I was like, that's the segue?

That's great. When you went to the Super Bowl, I bet you wanted to power drive there. Yes. Sway Lee, this is stupid. So this next one's called I Can't Believe We Made It. And I bet whenever you were down by 24 points and then you made it to the Super Bowl, you said, I can't believe we made it.

Roll track. Hey, so we got some Chiefs fans in the building. All right. I bet after you won the Super Bowl, some of you out there said, oh, my gosh. This next one's called OMG. Drop it. Let's go. Let's go. Okay. Yeah. Good. Good job. I guess it was so bad. Power drive. Like, oh man. Yeah. They can even use like literally there's a play in football called power. Or like you drive down the field. Yeah.

Just think about it for more than five seconds. Then you can come up with something better. The Super Bowl's in Miami. No one's driving there. Yeah, it doesn't make any sense. That's so funny. Yeah. Another thing, he was giving like shout outs like, who is here with their, you know, with their lover tonight?

You know, whatever. And the lovers cheer. Who's here with their best friend? You know, whatever. And I took Clara Talaferro. And so I was like, good friend from camp. Say you're a good friend from Canicoc. He never said it, but I just really wanted it to.

Yeah, we didn't feel like understood, really, in the audience. He never said good friend from camp. No. Yeah. He didn't ever get there. No, I really thought he was going to. What if he was just pointing to people like, now how do y'all know each other?

Okay, who's here on a bubble date? And you guys? Work at the same floral shop. Anyone else? That's awesome. Sway Lee. I've heard of him. Don't know anything about him.

Don't even know what he looks like or anything. We got there super late. I guess he, I don't know if it's his song or at least he's like a feature on like the... The Spider-Man one. Oh yeah. That one. The one I'm thinking of is the, oh, the Mannequin Challenge song.

Remember that song? Oh yeah. The Black Beetle song. That girl is a real ground cleaner. Yeah. So walked in and he was performing that song. So I was like, oh, I recognize this. But that was that.

And then yeah, the Sunflower song was it. But. Okay. Dude, when Mahoma showed up, it was pretty cool. It's crazy. But yeah, once again, as up it was pretty cool it's it's crazy but yeah once again as i've already said it's like how sports like what it could do for a city of people yeah like it erupted louder than any point in the night when my homes walks out into the sprint center like it was crazy that's so everyone's just tomahawk chopping yeah he's chopping oh it was

crazy like that part gave me chills i know other part of the concert gave me chills somebody compared him to like beetle mania like really in like i mean obviously a smaller scale but like yeah never had they seen anything like that at the concert like somebody just coming out and everyone freaking out so it was crazy yeah it was like elvis had reincarnated and come back to life and was here in the sprint center which is so wild because probably half the people there had seen him in person earlier that day yeah at the parade he was still in the Sprint Center. Which is so wild because probably half the people there had seen him in person earlier that day. Yeah, at the parade. He was still wearing the same exact outfit. Like he probably hasn't left downtown Kansas City.

Man. Claire and I were talking like, yeah, he's there in the middle, just like getting the crowd going. Like after the day he's had, after the week he's had, like where does he go from here? Like truly, not that I'm like worried about him,

but it's got to take a toll on like your ego and your pride and just like, it might be very hard for him to ever get to that point again of like what Sunday to Wednesday was like for him in his life. Like he's the man. Today he posted back, back. Yeah, I saw that. Oh, it's his first story. He's working out again. 9am. He's doing squats. Let's go. That's my fired up quarterback, dude. Yeah, dude. We're going to freaking win it again. And people are going to start getting tired of how much we love the cheat. Like. Yeah, dude. We're going to freaking win it again. And people are going to start getting tired of how much we love the Chiefs. Like, right now, people are like, oh, the Chiefs are the darlings of the NFL. They haven't

won in so long. So soon they're going to be like, we hate the Chiefs. They're sick of Mahomes. Yeah. They're the new dynasty. So sick of him completing passes, throwing it behind his back. He doesn't need to do that. But he's going to. He's got to find some way to keep it fresh. Yeah, he has to.

He has to, Jake. He has has to yeah he he has to jake yes yeah yeah he has to oh anything else brad i have a few uh poultries okay sure let's hear them what's going on so the the the main one is i've been putting in a lot of addresses um for t-shirts that i've been ordering. And every time I put in ST for street, it changes to at, and that bugs me. Yeah. That's just, that's the thing. Like, like just when, like there's certain, I can't think of other examples, but like. Is this phone or computer? This is on my phone. Okay.

But still. I think if you were to go capital ST, it would not correct it for you. You're a hundred percent wrong. All the way wrong? Yes. Really? That's surprising. I don't feel like that should be the way the software works. And then I back it up and put it again and they still try to auto correct it. I do hate that. That, and there's other times I can't think of exact words, but like I'm like one letter away from a very common word, like from, and they like want to change it to like proxy or something. Like I'm not trying to say proxy. The amount of times. Hey, who's that proxy?

No, that's not what I'm trying to say. If my phone tries to change ha ha to gaga one more time, I don't want to say gaga ever. Never have I ever. If I, if the word lady is in front of it. Yeah. Shoot a gaga on my way. But if I type ha gaga, I mean ha ha.

Yeah. Yeah. And guess what? Now I'm not laughing. I'm mad. No. I'm crying like a little baby who says Gaga Stop correcting my ha ha ha gaga's no more ha ha no more got or no more. No guys all the ha ha more Yeah, I hear you. I have a friend in my phone named Kobe

I'm about to delete because once you put some name in your phone I was gonna ask like you have somebody that's named Gaga on your phone. Sometimes I do. Oh, I, I would be surprised. I don't think I do. Um, I do have a Taylor Swift on my phone, but no Lady Gaga, but I have a Kobe in my phone. And so when I try to type love, it really wants me to say Kobe a lot of the time. That's right. Yeah. Yeah. I don't want to, I'm not talking about Kobe. I'm talking about love. Just bothered by that. The, the, I have another one. Yeah. That's not cool. I'm sorry. The other one is Quick Trip. Love Quick Trip, first of all. But they have this new marketing campaign where they try to combine the words snack and meal. And they call it what? It's almost always a bad idea to try and be cute with words like that from a company.

Sure. But snack and meal. If you're out there and you don't know the answer to this let's think for about three seconds what what word would they combine to make out of snack and meal you got mac or sneal right or yeah they they come up with snackle and they're like it's not a it's not a snack it's not a meal it's a. And I just, it irks me irrationally strongly. No, I'm with you. Because it's like, call it a snack eel even, or a sneal or a snack eel. Yeah. Or a Mac.

Or just choose a different word other than meal. Like choose lunch or choose like. Sure. Like there's other synonyms for meal that would maybe go better with snack. Choose that instead. The last two letters of meal are A-L. The last two letters of snackle are L-E. Like it doesn't even like, they didn't even like, there's no, there's no rhyme or reason to it. And every time I see an advertisement for a snackle, I'd like makes me want to boycott Quick Trip. Cause I'm like,

that's not how you do it. And it sounds so similar to Snapple. Yeah. Dangerous game they're playing. I know. Be careful, Quick Trip. Anyway, I just, it's, it's, it's, it's a silly poultry, but I saw it the other day and I was like, I'm writing this down and talking about it because snackle, snackle is not, that's not a good idea. Guess what? Now you've replaced my snack and my meal with nothing. I don't want to have any, anything to do with you. Nope. I'm going to get a milkshake. That's not for a dessert. So I'm going to get a mazert milk, milk, zert. Sure shirt and nickel. Yeah. A nickel. Might as well call it a nickel. Yeah. Oh, it's not a milkshake. It's not a dessert. It's a nickel. What? Anyway, just irked me. Sorry.

didn't look like you knew. Oh, sorry. I was having this weird moment where I was like, I bet I was in the middle of you singing. I was watching how much my microphone was jumping up. So then I was like, I bet it's like bouncing off this wall and going into this microphone. And I was like, we should definitely put foam panels on these walls. Cause I bet it's bouncing off those pretty loud. We need it. So I was, sorry. I was really thinking about that. foam panels on these walls because I bet it's bouncing up those pretty loud we need it so I was sorry I was really
