What is up, ladies and gentlemen, before we get into this week's podcast episode,
we have a very special announcement. Yes, a special sponsorship, if you will.
It's yes, this episode is sponsored by Brad and Jake, because like you guys,
we have nothing else going on for the foreseeable future. And March Madness has been canceled.
And so, well, well, depends on what you consider March Madness. Has it? Brad and I had an idea
two days ago at Chick-fil-A. And here it is, man. I yeah, the you consider March Madness, baby. Has it? Brad and I had an idea two days ago at Chick-fil-A and here it is.
Man, I, yeah, the answer is March Madness. And literally we're going to start a bracket
where we have 16 different things that generally make people mad. They just make people frustrated
and annoyed, whatever, irritated. We're just looking for something basically to
break us up from the monotony and the just lack of entertainment out there without sports, without anybody talking about anything besides you know what.
And so we're doing this bracket where we're going to start with 16 different quote unquote teams.
Which are just things that make us mad.
Yeah.
For example, we have spills.
We have loud cars.
Loud cars.
Biting your tongue.
Things that squeak yes lots of
different things you can check it out on our uh bio or we have a link in our bio that you can check
out um and fill out your bracket if you fill it out by wednesday at noon central standard time
then uh you'll be entered to win um pride and a spot on the podcast with us yes a spot on the pod
cool so podcast uh yeah check that out march spot on the pod. Cool. So, uh, yeah, check that out.
March Madness with the ghost runners and, uh, should be a lot of fun. Yeah. So cool. And that's
it onto the episode that we recorded like a week and a half ago. Hello everyone. So Brad and I just
got done enjoying a fine meal at our local Chick-fil-A. Who would have thought? Yeah. Big
surprise. And right as we're
leaving, one of our friends who works there is like, hey, we just got a mobile order for Trey
Kennedy. Like, oh, that's kind of funny. So right when we're leaving, we see Trey in the parking
lot and he's like leaving at the same time as us. Yeah. So I like I literally like turned on my car,
got on Spotify as quick as I could, like look up his new song, Why You Do It So Much. It was like, it was my goal to like try to catch up with him, blast the music
and just have my windows rolled down pretending like I didn't know he was right next to me.
Hey, dude.
What are you doing? Oh, what's up, dude?
Whoa. I was just listening to this.
I have no idea.
This is so cool. Welcome everybody to the Ghost Runners Podcast episode 45.
This is the smartest podcast in Kansas, as long as you don't have very high standards.
Oh yeah, sure.
So welcome back. Or if
you're new, welcome for the first time. Actually, that reminds me, how do you feel about McDonald's
when you go to the drive-thru and they say, welcome back, what can I get for you? I love it.
I love it. They just, that's like, that's like such a, uh, such an arrogant move of like,
it's pretty pretentious. Like no, no other place says that because it's like, we don't know if
you've ever been here before. McDonald's everyone everyone's been doing McDonald's. The first time it kind of-
It threw me off, but it's like, it makes sense.
And it is kind of a, it's a confident move.
It is kind of like, yeah, I am back.
I'm back.
I'm back, baby.
Yeah.
Thanks for knowing.
Yeah.
Thanks for, so you know me.
Oh, you know that I've been here before.
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
How are you doing?
How?
Oh yeah.
My dog died.
Yeah.
Dog died.
But you know, we're Catholic, so doing pretty well. I don't know. Uh, another funny thing about drive-thru
greetings, I guess. Krispy Kreme. You ever go through their drive-thru?
No, I don't, I don't think I've ever been to a Kris. That's not true. I've been there before,
but not very often. Definitely not enough for them to say welcome back.
Okay. Well, in their drive-thru, they say like, welcome to Krispy Kreme. How many dozen
can I get started for you today? Sure. Sure. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. They're trying to upcharge
you. Let's pump the brakes here. It's just me in the car. I love it. Okay. Just assume, assume the
best. Yeah. Let's start doing that for all its customers. Welcome to all its customer creations.
How many dining sets would you like for me today? How many, yeah, dining room tables do you need for
your dining room? Right. How many thousands of dollars are you willing to spend today on custom furniture it's an interesting move because then
you feel bad i was just gonna do two glazed two dozen no just i'm just i i don't have milk so i
didn't eat cereal this morning dude that's that's actually a great move you say i'll just take two
glazed and they think you mean two dozen you roll up to the window they already give you the two
dozen then you're like wait and you play fool to the window. They already give you the two dozen. Then you're like, wait.
And you play the fool.
And you're like, I just wanted two.
They're not going to take those back.
You make sure to get your hands on them first.
Once it's left the window.
Yeah, yeah.
You take them out of the box and you touch them all.
Like, I think there's more than two here.
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven.
You know, touch them all.
And they're like, yeah, there's more than two.
I just wanted two.
Oh, shoot.
You guys can have them.
You're like licking them still.
Like, yeah, I think I've won two. I've wanted two. Oh, shoot. You guys can have them. You're like licking them still. Like, yeah, I think I want two.
I want two.
Like, okay.
My mistake.
Here, take them back, guys.
I don't need them.
I don't need these.
Oh, no.
And then they get the donuts back, and they look at them, and they say, welcome back.
Welcome back to my car.
Welcome back, donuts.
Yeah.
Little donut boys.
Anyway, no, I have not.
That's a bold move.
I like it, though.
I like the strategy. I like the,
uh, the strategy of like intentionally upselling you like, wow, I was only going to get six,
but since you asked maybe, yeah, I'll just go with a dozen. I'll go with one dozen donuts,
you know, like kind of that idea of like just always pushing them a little bit more.
Yeah. It's a good move. Yeah. It hasn't really worked on me because I've never been in the mood
for suddenly six times more donuts than I was planning on getting. And I don't think it really truly normally works,
but I think there's something about the psyche of like, okay, it's kind of a normal thing to
order a dozen donuts. So maybe next time I'll go, then I'll get a dozen donuts. Yeah. You know what
I mean? Does anything else get sold in 12s? Um, let's see disciples, um, calendar pages. Um,
what'd you say?
I said,
tribes of Israel.
Um,
how eggs,
eggs,
eggs,
eggs.
As you say,
I say eggs.
Like you're really just reinforcing.
Catherine,
Catherine gives me a hard time because I'm from the Midwest.
So I say eggs.
What did I say?
You say eggs. My friend, Greg,
your friend is Greg. I guess I'm not really hearing the difference in these two things.
I'm saying more of an AY. You're saying more of a E. Like excellent is what I'm saying.
Like the word excellent, like the beginning of that. Excellent. Yeah. And you're saying
excellent. Yeah. Okay. Eggs. Eggs. Eggs. Eggs. Let's go get
some eggs.
Are you trying to get some eggs?
Eggs.
I was thinking more Fonzie, like eggs.
Oh. But I like the
That's my babe.
Anyway,
it's Monday. We just recorded on
Friday. Yes, it's been three days
since we last recorded. Don't have a lot more to talk about, but we can talk about eggs. Oh, wait, we got to give it episode
45. Is that significant? Oh, yeah. It's excellent. 45. I don't know. What is it? What is 45? Let's
see. I don't know. Nine times five. Oh, it's a it's a multiple of nine and five. Of course. It's our current president's number.
Outside of that?
Oh, we ended the war at 45.
Let's go, Truman.
Troops.
Other than that?
I just looked up some popular sports players with the number 45.
Oh, give me a hint.
Zero people you will ever know on this list. Okay, cool.
That's a fun hint.
Sorry.
Maybe they're... Oh, no.
Had a fight with Don Zimmer. I don't even know what sport that would be. Okay. Who's Don Zimmer?
Is he the boxing promoter? Nope. That was Don King. Close. Don Zimmer was the bald New York Yankees third base coach. What? No, this was like. Sorry, I didn't know that. Oh, he was like,
he's like legendary i think he's
like in the hall of fame oh is he very very old when they got in that fight yep i do remember
this now who was he shoved him in the face just threw him down a red socks guy yeah
manny ramirez no no he was number 24 known for his change up
um no clue um vote for Napoleon Dynamite. Vote for
Pedro Martinez. Pedro Martinez, number 45.
I do remember that now.
It took me a while. I remember watching
that live and watching poor old Don
Zimmer. He was very old at the time.
He could have lived at Tallgrass
and instead he was out there coaching third base
charging the mound.
Charging the mound, yeah, short grass.
Short grass and dirt. In the infield and just gets thrown down
by Dominican Pedro Martinez,
just right on the dirt.
Pedro Martinez is kind of a freak of nature.
Kind of the same like Zion Williamson type freak.
Like I think he was like 5'8 or something.
You know, could throw it 100 miles an hour.
Yeah, he was crazy.
It doesn't really happen.
He was crazy.
Well, that was kind of how we had a pitcher in Kansas City,
Jordano Ventura, who died tragically,
but was super little dude. And they always compared him to like Pedro Martinez 2 that was kind of how we had a picture in Kansas City. Jordano Ventura, who died tragically, but was super little dude.
And they always compared him to like Pedro Martinez 2.0 kind of thing.
Yeah, it's like super skinny, not a lot of muscle, but can sling it.
Yeah, just a little dude that just threw it so hard.
He sling a shot.
Yeah.
Okay, so episode 45.
The Pedro.
The Pedro.
Brad, last night I went to the mall.
Did you?
Did you get a calendar with 12 pages?
No.
Okay. First time in several years. But it kind of reminded me that I liked the mall. I think I just like people. So it's just kind of
fun to look at people. Was it Oak Park? Yes. That's a really good mall. Most malls these days
are like out of commission because they're not good. That one, I think it just stood the test
of time somehow. Strong mall. Strong mall. Very, very strong mall. i decided that i should get an outfit for the tour oh i love this
yeah i i don't know i was just like i should i should buy something so you went to spencer's
mr bulky and uh auntie ann's yeah old navy outlet yeah i just i don't know i wasn't even sure what
i was looking for but i think a lot of the nicer clothes i have are like maybe ripped jeans and i
was like i don't think that's really the look I want to go for. Okay. And more than anything, I just wanted
to like almost get my self-confidence. Like I want to feel hot. Yeah. Look good. Look good.
Look good. I want to feel hot. I want to look hot. And, uh, got there at five 40 though. Uh,
Oak park mall closes at six. Oh, on a Sunday. I was like, what? What mall closes at six? I had to shop so fast.
The mall walkers are doing their last sprints around there. But I'm still lapping them.
I went into Dillard's first because that's where I parked. I'm like, I'll start here. Sure. Yeah.
Very confused. I know now that I guess there's two Dillard's in that one mall. Yes, there is.
There's a men's and a women's. Yes. Oh man. But I could find the men's section because I was in the women's Dillard's store.
Oh.
Who knew?
Yeah, that's not good when you're on a time crunch.
There went six minutes.
Okay.
But eventually found, I don't even know why I'm telling this story.
Eventually found some stuff at Zoomy's.
I'm a skater boy now, apparently.
I never even heard of that store.
Really?
It's a skater store?
Kind of.
Okay.
But I'm going to look hot.
Okay.
Oh, yeah.
I went through my-
You got some etnies, some vans and a couple of skateboards.
They, they upsold me.
Yeah.
Okay.
Welcome to zoomies.
How many skateboards can I get for you today?
You got some Burton.
I was like, I was just looking for like a, maybe a jacket and some jeans, but I'll take,
I'll take three skateboards.
Uh, Bucky Lasek would be Bucky Lasek.
He'd be proud of that.
I was gonna like go over my routine last night in my head, just kind of
pacing around the house. And, uh, I was like, well, I need to try on my clothes anyway. Yeah.
Cause zoomies doesn't have a dressing room and it was six o'clock. So I just got that thing.
Yeah. So I just dressed up in all my clothes, love it. Just performed for no one in the living
room last night. It felt good though. Yeah, it really did. Yeah. I'm excited. Yeah. Are you
going to be the kind of guy that's going to hold the mic or are you going to be the uh kind of guy that's going to
hold the mic or are you going to be the one that has it on the stand oh definitely hold okay
definitely do you are you the kind of guy that like uses the mic as like an extra prop like
maybe like making noises like boom boom boom boom boom like hitting your face no i think those
people are funny sometimes no i don't i think you know what I think the comedians do, which I don't understand is when they
get like a, like a droopy microphone, like you're holding it.
And then they like, they kind of wait for the joke to land and then it kind of like
droops out of their hand.
Like that's decently common thing.
And it drives me nuts.
Interesting.
Yeah.
Hold it.
I wonder why they do that.
Firm.
Just keep it there.
Yeah.
Don't, don't droop it around.
You know, when you're you like you're in elementary
school and you would like make the pencil dance with your fingers that's what they're doing with
the microphone like look it's curved yeah they're barely yeah they're barely holding on to it huh
that pencil trick was cool i still do that from time to time when i'm holding the pen or i was
never able to do it oh i'm embarrassed by saying that but yeah i couldn't why not i don't know i
didn't have the dexterity maybe it's a a righty thing. I was a lefty.
Probably.
That's probably what it is.
Pencils are made for righties to be able to do that.
That does stink.
I think.
Being a left-hander with pencils.
Uh-huh.
What'd you do this weekend, Brad?
Did you get new outfits?
I didn't.
We had a birthday party for Hattie on Saturday with my family.
My family is large enough, like my extended family, that we have a birthday party every month.
I don't know if I've said that on the podcast before but and so it's like yeah whoever's march
birthdays we celebrate march birthday so hattie and my cousin had birthdays and celebrated them
on saturday and then saturday night we went and played chicken we went and played pickleball at
chicken and pickle ate chicken played pickle which i i'm not officially ready to say i'm hooked but
i'm i'm very close it's a good sport, huh?
Like I see the bait and I am very close to that bait,
ready to get hooked onto it and get up to the surface.
You understand why it was my babe of the week,
like 20 episodes ago.
That's right.
So attractive.
One of the original babes of the week was your pickleball.
I think the second one out of the gate was pickleball.
Oh, it's so fun.
And it's like, well, I was going to say this
and that's going to sound rude to Catherine.
I love Catherine. She's not a big sports player. I'll just say that. Let's just say her favorite Spice Girl was not Sporty Spice. Let's say genuinely she's never played a sport in
her life. Let's say that too. Okay. But I think that we could go play pickleball and have fun
together. Like I think, and so like, I'm excited to take her sometime and just be like, Hey, yeah,
this is fun. Like, it's not going to be the easiest thing for you to pick up, but it's not
the hardest thing either. Yeah. You know, we were playing with
people that literally never played before and we were, which was you. Yeah. Yeah. Well, yeah,
I played not in a long time, but yeah, I had played a few times before, but not enough.
Didn't not enough to know how to play really. Yeah. Had a bunch of fun though. So fun. Yeah.
Yeah. Springtime's coming. It's about to be a big pickle season for us. Hopefully.
Cause you can play outdoors. You can. coming. It's about to be a big pickle season for us, hopefully. Because you can play outdoors.
You can?
Oh, that's going to be great.
That's what I guess we did.
Yeah, that's what we did for three hours.
On Saturday.
But it was like in a enclosed court.
Anyway.
Yeah, I didn't really do a whole lot else besides that.
I had church yesterday, obviously.
And I don't remember what I did Friday.
I've just still been trying to nurse this cold.
I think I'm getting it a little bit. No, no, no, no. Which is not a good time. Take some Zyboys what I did Friday. I've just still been trying to nurse this cold. Do I think I'm getting it a little bit?
No, no, no, no.
Which is not a good time.
Take some Zyboys.
I did.
You did?
I popped a Zyboy last night and then this morning and I'm due for another one at 2 p.m. today.
Okay.
See, I didn't do that right away and I think that was my downfall.
It's because I had this like sore throat, but I was like, oh, it's because I've been inhaling some stuff that I was spraying maybe the other day.
Like some dust. Yes, exactly. I thought it was just woodworking related injury wri but it was
not it was a cold and i didn't didn't didn't take the size in time so take them keep taking them i
googled this morning what was it medication when a cold is imminent oh and like what the fourth link
was just zycam.com.
So I thought it was like an ad or something maybe,
but no, it was just like,
this is the fourth best thing you can do.
Really? That's interesting.
Yeah.
I was like, okay, I'll keep doing that.
Just lots of water and lots of sleep.
So that's the thing.
Slept from 5 a.m. to 10 a.m. last night.
So I didn't do that part great.
Okay.
But I am on my second Dr. Pepper today.
So I'm hydrating well. There's water in there somewhere. Yeah, yeah. Carbonated water. am last night so i didn't do that part great okay but i am on my second dr pepper today so i'm
hydrating well there's water in there somewhere yeah yeah carbonated water katherine hates when i
make that argument like you haven't had any water day what i had i had coffee there's no that's not
that's not water i was like i literally put the water in the coffee i saw it go in yes i know
there's water in there i'm peeing something else there's that's not all yeah coffee
that's coming out of there i'll tell you that it's yellowish so anyway yeah so not the best combo
not a lot of sleep and you know cold coming before the tour but i'll tell you that's exactly how i
got my cold is from not enough sleep so yeah just go ahead and get some sleep i'll sleep tonight
and i'm just kind of like look myself in the mirror and be like don't get sick you're You're not going to get sick. I pointed myself and I think that'll help. It'll tell my immune
system not to. There's a scene in Parks and Rec, which I know you don't really watch, but
Chris Traeger, who's like Mr. Health guy, they all get food poisoning and he just looks himself
in the mirror and he just goes, stop pooping. That's funny. So that's kind of what I've
imagined you do it. Like there's like sweating all over your face. Like, just like very sick. Just be like, stop being
sick. Stop sweating. If you don't need to stop sneezing. That's basically what I'll be. Yeah.
So how was your weekend besides what we did together? Uh, I didn't really do. Yeah. That
was most of it. I some videos uh sent one out
this morning at 3 30 a.m to a client getting another as soon as we get done here finishing
up the chick-fil-a episode one of the docuseries so feeling good everything will get taken care of
right before we leave on tour tomorrow the uh trailer oh wait hold on this this comes out next
monday i gotta think of the time.
Okay, so by the time you guys are listening to this,
Tuesday, March 17th,
the first episode of Middle School Maddox comes out,
which if you guys have been listening for a while,
I think I talked back in November
that Trey and I wrote this whole web series and this show.
We're getting it produced
and hired like a full cast and crew.
We edited it ourselves and it's been a long time coming
and it finally comes out.
Yeah, it's a big deal.
Yeah, it is.
It's very fun
and I'm not saying it's going to
rock your world or anything,
but we're proud of it.
It's something different.
There's, you know,
character development.
There's a narrative.
Yeah.
There's lighting.
There's microphones.
It was a very strategically done video
by you guys.
Yes.
Very strategically done show. Like you guys or like very strategically
done show like you guys sat down for a long time to even think about what you want to
go through like to do it yeah so so yeah tuesday march 17th first episode comes out on trey's
facebook and youtube uh you'll see me in episode three as his taekwondo instructor oh i don't even
get you till episode three? Yeah.
I'm done.
I'm not in the opening credits. I don't want it anymore.
I'm not a main character.
I'm in the closing credits, though.
Okay.
As a writer
and as Tanner.
Tanner.
Master Tanner.
DJ Tanner.
Love it.
Yeah, so...
What else was I gonna say?
Oh, like,
our, like,
director of photography,
like, the main cinematographer.
I keep bumping into him in public,
which is just kind of fun.
Was it the guy that we saw at the parade?
We saw him at the parade,
which he made like a two-minute recap of that day,
and it's pretty sweet.
He rode in the mayor's car all day.
It's a pretty cool recap.
And then I saw him at the Liberty Memorial
a couple weeks ago.
And so, yeah, just keep seeing him,
and it's a lot of fun.
Nice, dude.
Like, ah, George.
We're at the show.
George!
We worked on for
like a week george um here's an observation i had this weekend i really don't know if this is
gonna be that relatable or even easy to digest but i think i think it's true though i think it's
freaking true okay okay imagine i think this only works in the context of like opening a door for
someone or that kind of scenario where you're being kind of polite.
Okay.
Okay.
I think the volume at which the person says thank you is at a direct correlation to how
like polite you were or how much out of your way you went to hold the door open for them.
Oh.
I think if it's like obvious, like if they're right behind you and you open the door for
them, like, thanks, man.
Yeah.
Thank you.
Thanks. It's very under your breath almost. But if you got a six,
seven second wait, thank you. Thank you. Yeah. Yeah. Yes. Maybe that's obvious, but I noticed it going into Chipotle and out of Chipotle. I had both extremes
happen to me. I heard, I heard, thank you. Cause she was right behind me. Of course,
I'm going to hold the door open for her. Right. And then I really held it. This mom and her like stroller was a ways away.
Really held over her.
Good for you.
Thank you.
Yeah.
That's much.
Well, and, and maybe it's more, it's more than just the distance away.
Maybe it's also the effort that they would have had to do to open the door themselves.
We get a multiple bar graphs here.
Cause you got, you got mom with her stroller.
That's, that's all. That's a lot of effort. Like you got mom with her stroller. That's a lot of effort.
You only have two hands.
Exactly.
That's, yes, almost every person.
Regardless, well, I think of how many children you've had.
Yes.
Yes.
I can only speak for moms with at least one child, but yes.
Because the tax forms say dependent.
Yes.
So that's not hands, right?
You don't add on those. no no dependent is just how many
kids you have oh okay yeah i'm kind of nervous about taxes coming up sure i said why wouldn't
you be yeah i said last year i was like oh okay i'm gonna pay quarterly because this sucked seeing
all this money go out at once yeah didn't pay quarterly didn't do it yep so and now you're a
tax evader so that's kind of
scaring me honestly like if anything it should not scare you because it's like oh you evade your
taxes for five years you'll be fine they'll just come to your old door and say yeah just give us a
call just give us a call it's fine so um yeah good observation about the door jake that's yeah i don't
know i was at home just look for it i I was at Home Depot the other day, speaking of observations.
Yeah, whatever.
And there was this old man kind of puttering around, walking with his little cart.
And they're like, this store worker comes up to him.
How you doing?
And he proceeded.
I didn't really listen very well, but he proceeded to really like tell him, them personally,
how he was doing. Oh. Like, have you ever, listen very well, but he proceeded to really like tell him, them personally how he was doing.
Oh.
Like, have you ever, it was just, how you doing?
Could be better.
Yeah.
Pooped my pants earlier this morning.
Like what?
Thought it was a fart?
Was not.
Well, wasn't at first.
No, they tell you it depends.
Dependence.
I'll tell you one thing.
I was not dependent on anything this morning. I am now. You know, tell you it depends. Dependence. I'll tell you one thing. I was not dependent
on anything this morning. I am now. You know, it was just like, whoa, hey, just looking for like a
good and move on. Exactly. It was just like, I was just thinking of like, what are the scenarios
you could just like say the most ridiculous things? Because they're just like, yeah, they're
absolutely just like, how are you doing? You need any help? No, I'm doing great. You know,
walk by. And this guy just proceeded to to like he needed somebody to talk to him so just like yeah that's
a funny character piece i guess or something like yeah you're out in public and uh let's say you
drop something right and you're like oh just uh dropping the ball all the time you know someone's
like yeah i bet you are you're like i mean yeah like my marriage
for one yeah that's that's falling apart um my my job is is crumbling beneath me my family doesn't
talk to me um and then of course i like this falls out of my hands too yeah like whoa i don't know
you do you think i know you so anyway light bulbs uh where are they yeah yeah yeah i don't know you. Do you think I know you? So anyway, light bulbs, where are they? Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah.
I don't, what do you, what do you want me to say to that?
It was just so funny the way that he responded.
Anyway.
That's what I've kind of tried to have been.
Whoa.
What did I just say?
Kind of trying to have been doing Buster Rhymes in the drive-thru.
Hey, how's it going today?
Well, you know.
Yeah.
But no one, and maybe I just need, I keep going to McDonald's and they suck.
I need to go elsewhere. Welcome back. They already know you're there. You're like,
you said this last time. We know who you are. Yeah. I love the drive-thru though.
Maybe we should just start being very specific and like saying like something about our day
and then asking somebody about their day. Not necessarily like specific in the sense of,
you know, give them all your problems, but just say, they say,
Hey, how are you doing today? I'm doing really well. I'm getting into pickleball. Uh, how are
you doing today? You got a good day. What's, what's been a highlight for you? Yeah. Yeah.
Are hot dogs a sandwich? Uh, that'd be good. What are some of your favorite questions to ask people
like as you're getting to know them? I an intentional way i love and maybe these are small
talk i don't know but i love knowing where they're from and how many like their family basically like
what's the what's the background in their family i love knowing uh because that way i can just kind
of understand a little bit more about like how they who have i got here yeah who who do we got
here um so knowing their siblings knowing what their parents are like what other
parents do uh what do they do i know they're kind of like small talk questions but then from there
you can then say okay great tell me about this this and this so i thought that's not very exciting
answers but that's those are like genuinely the things i'm very interested in knowing for almost
every single person is like where are you from like what's your family unit like for that's like a professional term yeah
no that's interesting because i don't i don't think i would ever i don't care about their
family see i do like i know everything about your family yeah not everything but i know a lot
and you don't know that maybe you do know more than you think you know way more about my family
than i know about yours yeah yeah that's just interesting yeah i just like that and that also
gives me a way to like personally
connect to them i think and i think the way you get to know someone is a reflection of how you
like of your personality and like how you think in general probably because family is also like
super important to me and i don't even love my family yeah you've you've said you've gone on
record before but like i wish i was an orphan yes yeah annie is my favorite movie i love annie i love the little princess i really resonate with her i was jealous
of her situation in that movie right yeah and anyway what do you have any answers for that like
i think a lot of my answer or questions are like about and this is why i say i think it's a
reflection of your own personality mine are always about like their future. I think like, okay, what do you do now?
What are some things you'd like to be doing? Okay. Or like what's, um, what's something you're
looking forward to? That's a question I ask people a lot. Like what's something in your
life you're looking forward to big or small? Is something you're doing later today? Something
you're doing next year vacation. Okay. I think I always ask people questions about the future
because that's naturally how I think. That's great. And that's a great answer because
now I reflect on my own life and I'm so not future oriented. Yeah.
Like I'm much more like every time I've ever tried to plan for the future, it's just been
way different than I think it's going to be. I just keep thinking about my family. So yeah,
the only things that are important in my future is as long as I'm still married and have great
kids, that's, that's a win for me. If I'm not doing woodworking in three years, great. I don't
care. I mean, I do care, but less sales tax to pay probably. Sure. Absolutely. Seriously. So
that makes sense why you, you know, who asked like the best questions ever is Zach Warehand.
One of our friends. I was going to say Alex Trebek. Also great. Well, he gives answers actually.
Dang it. Contestants. Zach just asked these questions and you're like, oh my gosh, I've,
and he'll be like hanging out with me and Catherine and Catherine's friend and Zach. And it's like, Zach asked this question to
Catherine's friend. I'm like, I've never thought to ask that question before. It's a great question.
You're going to learn so much about her from this, you know? Wow. Uh, so Zach, if you're listening
to this, send us some questions that we can ask next week for, you know, kind of conversation
starters on the Instagram or on, you know, Apple podcasts, whatever. So I saw a question. This is funny that Zach asked publicly on facebook.com last night,
I was waiting for a video to export. And so I went back and watched my, my old videos
from New Zealand. Cause I was trying to find this one shot for something I might do later.
And Zach commented, Whoa, dude, do you want to film my wedding? Which is something I had done
for him like a year before that. And then you replied and said, yeah, dude, do you want to film my wedding which is something i had done for him like a year before that and then you replied and said yeah dude do you want to not post it to social media
for three months because it was something that yeah i'd like shared with brad of like
they said they liked the video but they haven't like shared it with anybody yeah they haven't
shared i was like i hope they actually liked it like i'm willing to re-edit it if they don't
because most people like i send i mean this happened last week i send a ride a wedding video
the video was six minutes long six minutes after i send that text i get a message back from them
loved it you know amazing whatever and then probably five minutes after that it's on facebook
posted it yeah and yeah theirs was like at least three months and i was like i hope you posted it
by the time i sent them that or had they already posted do you remember i think they already had okay point but i was just giving him a hard time
oh man so he does ask good questions like do you want to film my wedding after you've already
filmed it oh zach zacky man zach rearhand a quick story on zach let's keep talking about him so
the year is was it 2015 um i don't know what the story is yet but probably correct me if i'm wrong
brad um i know you don't know what i'm thinking yet but probably correct me if i'm wrong brad um i know
you don't know what i'm thinking i'm terrible with dates too but it was the royals playoff run when
we started going to ugly joes a lot oh yeah my dad loves this story does he he loves he talks about
once a year at least really i haven't really thought about it in a while but i think it's
like it's not quite the world series or maybe it was i guess it doesn't really matter it was the astros round yeah i think it's alcs and we had started going to this
like janky little dive bar sports bar called ugly joe's no one in kansas city has probably ever
heard of it right we just like went to it one night mediocre we said you want to get ugly yeah
he's trying to get ugly yeah and we did and or no like not like ugly faced or anything that's
probably like a euphemism for no we had lots of diet pepsis so much water yeah so much water
but we go one week randomly and then the royals win so we're like we gotta go we gotta get ugly
again yeah it's our spot at this point now the royals have won like every playoff game we go to
ugly joes they keep winning and so it kind of builds this like i don't know vibe of like
superstition going on like ugly joes is our spot when we need a win game five game seven we got to
go to ugly joes yeah so this is building and building and then it's like yeah game six of the
alcs we're down like i i'm not gonna actually remember but we're down like eight to three
the seventh inning or something crazy yeah and. And Zach goes to the restroom.
And while he's in there,
the Astros just fall apart.
Like they're all-star shortstop.
Like,
uh,
you know,
myths,
this ground ball,
let's two runs score.
And we're just freaking out.
Zach comes out.
I was like,
what'd I miss?
And we're like,
Oh,
we scored Alex Crow.
I like miss this ground ball.
And then like,
I think the next batter like strikes out or whatever. And we're like,
Zach,
get back in there. And they have a TV in the bathroom. Do you remember that? Like,
and so it's like, you can watch from the bathroom.
Like then we would start to do well again. And Zach would want to come out and celebrate with
us. Like, get back in there, Zach. What do you want to happen? This is selfish.
Yeah. They hit a home run or something. And Zach would like come jumping out of the bathroom. Yeah, yeah.
Like get back in there.
Get out of here, dude.
Go to the bathroom.
Oh, my dad thought it was hilarious.
Like to this day, I still remember telling that guy to get back in the bathroom.
So my dad was watching with us.
He was getting ugly.
Yeah, that was great.
Anyway, old Zach, let's go.
That's Zach's common phrase.
Let's go.
So anyway, good times.
Good times with Zachius.

Heard this on the phone last week. Let me give you a call back. I need to put some clothes on.
That's a literal thing, right? What? Like they mean that literally?
Yes.
Like he was unable to talk to me
because he didn't have clothes on.
Oh, so you're asking me what exactly?
How I feel about...
I feel a certain way about this sentence.
I'm wondering what you think.
Here we go.
I think one...
Well, no, let me answer.
Okay.
I think it's weird that...
Why even answer?
Just wait, put your clothes on, then call it back, first of all. you go i think one well no let me answer okay i think it's weird that why even answer just wait
put your clothes on then call it back first of all uh two don't tell them just say let me give
you a call back don't need to know that you're naked yeah yeah because then you're imagining it
yeah okay ah come on he calls me back and all i'm thinking about is how naked he just was right
right uh that's it that's all yeah okay i'll have them there three can you not put clothes
on while being on the phone are these things that need to happen mutually exclusive of each other
phone that thing speakerphone it's speakerphone yeah absolutely it just did it didn't need to
know who is do you know this guy very well no oh oh that that's almost weirder that he says that
yes it's weirder but it's's also, yeah, I don't know.
If I don't know somebody really well,
then I'm probably not going to be as comfortable putting my clothes on
while talking to them.
But they would never know.
Say that.
They would never know.
Do whatever you want
while you're on the phone with me.
Just don't tell me about it.
I think you can tell
when somebody's in the bathroom
when you're on the phone.
It's kind of echoey.
Now that I think about it,
I think I could tell
when someone's naked on the phone too.
You're like, they just seem a little bit more insecure about themselves yeah it seems like
they're just more like loose and free with the things they're saying and the more carefree
i'm just gonna let it all hang out there i just need to uh you know talk to you about a few things
yeah we're looking for um you know we'd like some photography done we're thinking like kind
of like an all-natural or sorry like a natural look to the photos yeah so you're naked you know you know the cat the dress
wear is just formal uh you know just put on your finest birthday suit i mean just your finest suit
and tie uh whatever i'm like okay i'm starting to pick up on this i get what you're what's going on
here this guy's nude i think we got a nudist yeah huh okay let me call back let me put some clothes on
and talk let me call you back and put some clothes on that just seems like uh you're not that busy
where you have to answer every single minute of your day like to me i just won't answer that phone
call i'll let you leave a voicemail or text or whatever and i'll call you back in three minutes
with your clothes on yeah or i'll text you say, Hey, just got out of the shower.
Call you back in two minutes. That's cool. Is that weird? I think just the idea of saying,
let me put some clothes on. It's just weirder to me than saying, just got out of the shower.
Like everyone knows what you do when you get out of the shower, but you don't like the more
specific you get the weirder, okay i'm gonna put my underwear on
and i'm gonna put some pants on and then i'm gonna choose a shirt and some socks i'm gonna tie my
shoes and then i'll call you back as soon as i'm done with all that yeah maybe put some hair hair
gel in old spice they say like we have what else i got there hey let me call you back i need to
take my cape off. What?
What are you doing?
Sorry.
I got my dentures in just a second.
Hold on.
I have my knight's helmet on.
I can't really hear you that well.
Yes. I just woke up.
So my stocking cap still on my head.
So let me just give you a call back when I take that off.
Start doing that to people.
I can't talk like, like let's say I'm in a meeting, but give another reason.
Okay.
I'm not in a meeting, but say something else.
Like what?
Let me give you a call back. The head hasn't breached yet.
What? This guy sounds really busy and I don't really know what he does on Thursdays anymore.
Yeah. Let me give you a call back when the market closes, if that's okay.
I was like, aren't you a woodworker? That's cool. He's, he's probably multitasking. Yeah. That guy, that guy is, he's busy.'s he's probably multitasking yeah that guy that guy is he's busy therefore
he's successful i watched uh 25 minutes of wolf of wall street last night speaking of the market
closing oh yeah filthy movie kind of forgot about it very filthy like i was watching it by myself
and i was like i hope no one walks in right like gregor isaac comes home while i'm watching this
because i was just honestly let's let's talk about wolf of wall street for a second honestly
though i wish it weren't so filthy because it's a really good movie oh it's an
amazing movie a little disappointed at first because it's not about actual wolves right but
that's the thing about wolf attacks they come when you leave at least it's just best times guys
that's the thing uh but yeah it's amazing and jordan belfort has like kind of become like a
gary v motivator kind of guy on instagram speaker yeah like i've been following him for probably a year on instagram and he's got
a podcast and yeah what is another movie like that that i saw recently and i was like oh i just wish
it wasn't so inappropriate like because it's just a good movie well oh saving ryan's privates yes
that one no this one actually is not as inappropriate but catch me if you can it's
like just a really cool true story movie of like oh it's amazing Leonardo DiCaprio too maybe that's why I was
thinking of them together but like yeah it's such a good movie and Wolf of Wall Street is also just
a very interesting story that I think they just portrayed very accurately and so therefore it's
just lots of inappropriate things in there so but it's just like man they did like that's really
interesting how they made all
this money doing all this stuff, like all these stocks and everything.
So.
Anything in the stock market is so fascinating to me because I know I, I don't know anything
about it now and I know that I probably never will.
So it's just like, well, it's just kind of fun to take it in pieces.
Like the big short was fascinating.
Also a great one.
Yeah.
They did a great job.
Yeah.
Our friend slash your roommate, Greg, the other night was talking about cryptocurrency
and that he explained it.
And I said, Greg, I'm gonna be honest.
I don't understand anything you just said.
And then he explained it again.
And I kind of lied and acted like I understood it a little bit more.
And I kind of did.
Explain it to me like I'm five.
But it was just like, wow, that is crazy stuff.
So anyway.
Crazy world.
A lot of smells. A lot of smells. Yeah.
What about this for something? I was driving down the road the other day and I think this truck was hauling some like pallet wood or something like that. I don't know what exactly they had in the
back. Something that did not look like it was very secure back there. And then there was a sign on
the back of it that just said, not as like huge, not responsible for windshield damage and i just thought to myself what you can
just put stuff like that on the back of your car and then just do whatever you want in front of
that like like these people just look like they just like two hands just chuck these pallets up
in there and then they're like if they fall out it's not our fault it's not our fault if it hits
your windshield the bumper sticker you should yeah you see the sticker you should you should
have not driven behind us like like you imagine fault if it hits your windshield. We have the bumper sticker. You should. Yeah. You see the sticker. You should have not driven behind us.
Like you imagine if like you walk into your doctor's office, not responsible for death.
Well, sometimes you might be.
I think someone should be.
Yeah.
Yeah.
The guy's like loading it up.
Like, do we need to ratchet strap this down?
He's like, oh, do you not see the sticker?
We're good.
We're fine.
I put this.
Yeah.
Is that legally binding?
Like how big does a
sticker need to be? What font? If you're a lawyer out there, leave us a five-star review and let us
know like what, yeah. How much is that really going to stop you from getting sued? Cause you
do kind of see signs like that a lot of like not responsible for stolen items, which like in a
parking garage, like, yeah, it probably wasn't going to sue the garage. Yeah. That makes more
sense. Yeah. Also just makes me feel scared.
Yeah. Like why you got to put that? Like do not leave your car unlocked here. But that's the only place you ever see those signs. You ever see them in parking lots? Do you? Maybe you do. Something
about a roof over where you park. I guess. Scarier. Yeah. Dingier. This is where people steal.
Take your milk money, your lunch money. Yeah. I'm going to start doing that on dates. I think
a big old bumper
sticker on my chest that says not bumper sticker on your chest i like it yeah yeah i think so wait
what did the original one say not responsible for windshield damage okay i'm gonna say mine's
gonna say not responsible for emotional damage when i go on dates with people and like look i
told you it was on the front of my bumper listen yeah we went through this i'm sorry it's a sticker that's great we got a five-star review about this it's legally
binding i'm not responsible for this emotional baggage yeah i just i thought that was so like
like why doesn't everyone do this you know like put something on the back of my car that just
says not responsible if you get in the fender or you know bumper fender bender with me fender
bumper fender bumpers benders uh with me because I put the sign on the back.
It's your fault no matter what.
It's got to have signs for everything.
Yeah, exactly.
I'm gonna have something on my glasses that say not responsible if I can't see you.
Or a sticker on my tongue that says not responsible if I offend you.
Yeah.
Somebody's really upset with it and you show them the tongue.
Look, look.
We did it. I have the thicker anyway that is funny that's a good observation i was just like that's not
that's not okay to just put that and just be okay with whatever you do after that oh yeah i'm with
you yeah that's weird that's that's weird i think we have three voice memos that we already got
since friday do you want to listen to them i would would love to. Cool. Let's do it. And let's point out last week's episode, we had so many, I think out of the nine that we had, we had seven
men. Let's go boys. And then this week, I believe they're all men. Whoa. What percentage is that?
100. Holy cow. We're keeping it 100 on International Men's Day, I think is today. So, okay, here's the first one from Connor.
What's up, Jake and Brad?
It's Connor from Cleveland, Ohio.
And I play baseball from my high school.
I'm a sophomore.
But even though I'm not the first baseman all the time, I do play it from time to time.
So I think I qualify to send a voice memo. So my question for you guys is,
would you date a girl that has the same name as your ex?
And this isn't like years apart, because that makes sense.
But like, this is like two to four months apart.
Because that might be awkward, you know?
Like, grandma asks, oh, hey, how's Sarah doing?
And you're like, well, she's good, but it's a different Sarah.
You know what I mean? Like,ah doing and you're like well she's good but it's a different sarah you know what i mean like at thanksgiving you're dating sarah then you break up and then you find
another sarah then at christmas she's like hey how's sarah and you're like she's good and then
you know you know what i mean it's a different one so yeah that's my question kind of weird
doesn't relate to baseball at all but i don't know i thought I thought of it. All right, see you. See you.
I like that.
That's funny.
That is kind of funny.
At first, I thought he was going to go the route, like dating someone who has like your
mom's name or your sister's name.
Also weird.
Yeah.
I know I got one of my good friends in college.
Yeah, married a girl, has the same name as his sister.
Especially because then, yeah, that girl's name is literally turns into that name.
Yes.
It's confusing.
I know two Kristen Tippins.
Oh, really?
Yes.
Sister and wife of Brad. What's your Yes, it's confusing. I know two Kristen Tippins. Oh, really? Yes.
Sister and wife of Brad.
What's your answer?
Let's see.
What is the question?
Like, is it weird?
How weird is it?
Would you do it?
Yeah, I think is the original question.
I could, yeah.
It's gonna make that conversation with grandma a little tough.
Yeah, but then again,
like grandma's not gonna be around that much longer, so.
Maybe I won't even correct her.
She's still good.
She, she's not a blonde anymore.
And her face looks pretty different bone structure than what you probably remember, but she's
good.
What's her major?
Kinesiology?
No, it's a, it's actually pre-law.
I swore it was kinesiology.
Well, grandma, you're pretty old.
So why don't we stop trusting your memory?
I think that if, uh, like he gave the example of Sarah, if there's two Sarah's out there that you're both attracted to, you break up with one,
get another one. That's great. Two Persephone's. But if you, yeah, you got a Kensington. Hey,
uh, how's Kensington? Like you can't, you can't, you know, you can't monopolize the
Kensington's of the world. Then you're going to seem like you have a type and that your type is
strictly like language based, which is weird. Yeah. I just love those three syllable girls, man.
Oh yeah.
Stephanie, Kensington.
Rebecca.
Yeah.
But don't call her Becca or else.
No, I'm not attracted to her anymore.
No, that's gross.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I, I don't know.
Well, here's the one thing is that, and maybe you haven't experienced this because that's
going to sound mean.
I was going to say, cause you haven't dated that many girls.
Uh,
no,
that's not that mean.
Okay.
I don't,
I wouldn't say I'm proud of it,
but yeah,
like I'm,
I'm,
I stand by it.
It's not like you're like,
Oh,
I've never gotten a girl.
It's like,
I've never wanted to date that many.
Whatever.
High standards.
Yes.
Thank you.
Um,
I was just going to say,
I have experienced the,
uh,
feeling of accidentally calling your current girlfriend, your ex-girlfriend's name to her face.
Is that fun?
It's not.
I'll tell you that much right now, especially when she's visiting you on her spring break in Spain.
I don't remember exactly what I said, but I said her name wrong.
And she was honestly like, it was Catherine.
Catherine was very, very patient and understanding about it.
I felt terrible, though.
So if you can avoid that by dating two girls with the same name and you like both of them,
then great.
Go for it.
Right?
Yeah.
Because it is not a fun thing to accidentally call her the wrong name.
So if anything, you're doing yourself a favor.
Yes.
Even if in your mind you were thinking Sarah Christensen and she's Sarah Gabriel.
That's fine.
She doesn't have to know.
Just call her her first name.
Do not go both names though.
Yeah.
Risky.
That's just, that's wrong.
So fun question though.
It is a good premise.
Yeah.
And those conversations that you're going to have with those conversations that you're
going to have with grandma or whatever, that's fine.
Like those questions are limited.
So don't, don't,
if you like this girl, go for it. Don't, don't limit it just because of conversations like that,
especially because like with grandma, for whatever reason that your, your parents will be able to
explain it better to grandma than you will. So you kind of try to explain it like, yeah,
I was dating this girl. Oh yeah. Her name is Sarah. Yeah. But I have this new, they're like,
what now?
And then your parents just interjected and say,
no,
it's a different Sarah from their school still.
And they'll just,
your grandparents was understanding magically.
Sheila's daughter?
No.
Different Sarah.
Different Sarah.
We don't know this.
Wife's on,
or a mom is on PTA with me.
Um,
great girl,
uh,
went Catholic and it's just a really great girl now. Okay. Okay. Got it. Went Catholic and is just a really great girl now.
Okay. Okay. Got it.
Automatically we'll just understand. Now grandma
gets it. Yeah. So
I don't know. It's just one of those things
where sometimes I'll try to explain things to my grandma
and she'll kind of understand
it, but then my dad will say it
and oh, easy.
Too many years apart. They have a threshold
where they can't understand. I swear we use the exact same words in our explanations, though.
One real quick thing on grandmas.
Kind of a hot take.
Kind of scared to say this publicly.
But I think I stand by it.
So I'm going to.
Okay.
Little, very specific, very, yeah, probably unpopular opinion on grandparents.
Okay. I think it is. You're really hyping this up i'm nervous such a cop-out in like christian small group settings around prayer request
if your one prayer request is like uh my grandpa's not doing that well
yeah all of our grandparents are 80 they're all not doing his immune system struggling
yeah science you could say this every day for the last 10 years yeah my you could be praying for my
grandparents health you know yeah yeah i think okay to do that it's fine to do that but if that's
your one thing okay i think it's shallow and i think it's a cop-out and I think you're not really opening up or looking at your life
adequately. Or me. Yeah. Yeah. I don't. Hey, don't get me started on praying for dogs.
No, no, no. Those are two. Those are way different. Yeah, no, they are. Because if your
grandparents are sick, you're scared. Yeah. It's a scary thing because you've known them your entire
life. And that is a thing. But I think where I see it as maybe not as as i don't know if shallow is maybe shallow is the right word and i'm saying if
that's your only prayer request right you know i'm saying like i hear it more as like they're
not necessarily always like looking for enough other places to pray for people in their own
lives or something like that or whatever whatever's going on in your own life. You're just like, oh, well, my grandpa's sick.
It's like, yeah, that's good.
We should pray for that.
But like we're here to like care for you.
Like part of your life.
You're supposed to be going out there and, you know, really engaging in people and being
intentional with people and finding out what they need prayer for or what you need prayer
for even like what's what are your struggles?
So I understand that, too. Yeah. Kind of your struggles? Um, so I understand that too.
Yeah. Kind of nervous to say it, but I, I believe in it and I think it's, I think that shouldn't
be your only one. They're all sick. Hey there fellas. This is Danny from Fargo, North Dakota.
And I had a question for you guys that I've been thinking about a lot recently,
and I wanted to have you guys sound off on it. If there's a food that is currently very unhealthy, so it could be fast food, it could be maybe junk food, and you guys could make it healthy.
You get the ability to just turn it into a very nutritional meal.
What food would you guys choose and how would you incorporate it into your diet?
Thanks so much.
Love the podcast.
Thank you, Danny. Um, first thing I'll say, if anyone's, uh, grandparents out there are actually
in any kind of, uh, difficult situation health-wise, I apologize. And I feel really bad.
I just, uh, was thinking about that, that entire voice memo, not trying to be insensitive.
Yeah. You're not, you're not an insensitive guy.
So don't think that if you're out there.
Okay, yeah.
You're, yeah, I understand.
Some of your grandparents out there are really going through a tough time, probably.
You're more, we'll go back to the voicemail.
You're more thinking, though, like about the negative aspect of the rest, like the things
that are missing from what they're asking for in the prayer request, not specifically the grandparents part. You're more like,
I wish that you would open up to me more. I wish that we could have a deeper connection.
Yeah. I just want it. Yeah. Let's get, let's go deeper. Let's not stay on the surface level here.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It, it could be grandparents or it could be whatever, fill in the blank of,
I don't know. I don't know what the answer is for you, but you're, you're wishing that there was just a little bit deeper, uh, deeper connection there.
Yeah. I want to dive in. Yeah. I want to go, I want to go to the deep end, baby. Let's get,
let's dive into the rings in the 12 foot section. Sure. I don't want to still see your belly button
for you in the two foot area. Yeah. Oh man. It just reminded me whenever he said the dive in
deep into the 12 foot section.
Stephen Curtis Chapman.
Oh, of course.
Hattie is into that.
Have I told that on the podcast?
We have a new.
Saddle up your horses.
There's a new playlist on Spotify called Youth Group Throwback.
Oh, cool. And I'm so tired of the kids' songs.
So I'm like, hey, let's listen to these songs.
So she's really into Big House by Audio Adrenaline.
You know what's better than giraffes a big big house you know pinocchio's good but
big house uh dive revolution by kirk franklin do you want a revolution whoop whoop she asked
me to sing that song to her the other day for uh like to go to bed like usually we do amazing grace
or i love you lord do an acoustic version revolution so i would literally like in my
quiet voice be like do you want a revolution?
Whoop, whoop. And sometimes I would wait for her to repeat it. So she'd be like, whoop, whoop.
That's awesome.
Anyway, but diving into the rings reminded me of my ears being all messed up and was recently in
the shower and blew my nose. And I felt one of my ears kind of pop a little bit. And I was like,
oh, that's good. I want them to pop because I was like, I'm still sick. I got all this congestion. And my left ear
has just been like deaf basically for the last two days. And so I was like, okay, I can keep
blowing my nose and then great. Like it'll make it better. And so I blew my nose again.
Always good when some of your body pops.
Right. Yeah. It did not feel good, but it felt necessary. And maybe that's not true because what happened next was something that you two sang about. Um, and they put on everybody's
video iPods afterwards, uh, called vertigo. So I blew my nose and then all of a sudden the,
the room just got very, very like just like a call of duty flashbang yes exactly like honestly exactly like really it was like whoa
like and so i just pinned myself up against the wall like uh don't even like a spider in a corner
exactly just like gosh stay here this is my point of reference this is my happy place until it went
away uh you take a knee i did eventually i kind of i was like okay now i gotta sit down so then i uh
jake was calling me on the phone i said hey sorry uh let me put some clothes on give you a call back
so anyway um that made me think of that when you said diving down because that would hurt my ears
really bad right now and having inner ear things is no fun who knew that that would be so bad you
ever scuba dove and no i haven't dove and you um you
should scuba dive in sometime really it's uh because it's that's a fun ear pop like you go
down like seven feet it's time plug your nose pop them out okay and then it's like oh i'm a new man
now now they're like five ten feet or whatever pop them again yeah it's pretty cool yeah don't
you aren't you supposed to go down periodically and come up periodically yes slowly something
with your lungs okay what'd you say bins the bins i think is what it's called when you come up periodically yes slowly something with your lungs okay what'd you
say bins the bins i think is what it's called when you come up too fast and like bins verified
yes bins fold verified um you get up there and like something with your oxygen or something yeah
you get too much of it too quick or the pressure or whatever yeah something it's not i think we're
saying it exactly right how it is yeah yeah so anyway um the food that
i would make healthy oh yes yes yes from danny from fargo north dakota which sounds a lot like
my friend alex mr steeze and sounds like yeah mr steeze from duluth um milkshakes okay i love
milkshakes and they kind of already make uh well maybe just ice cream and
they're already kind of healthy so no they make healthy shakes out there though but they're not
the same i would i would drink a milkshake five times a day if i could i love milkshakes you like
the way they go down i love them everything straw or spoon oh straw for sure if they have like uh
oreos or something in them then maybe i'll use a spoon a little bit but no i would like a straw the whole time please have you ever drank that like boba tea
yes don't don't like it no scary the first couple times i was like oh it's kind of nice and then it
was like i can't get a drink without one of these darn uh tapioca balls in my mouth yes get those
out of there of the you know when you go to the bank and you put your money in and it's such it up there, that's what's happening in my throat. Yes. Straw. Yes. And you
never know when it's coming. No. All of a sudden there's Boba. Cause I, yeah, I didn't work at
empire bank in high school, so I don't know how this works. Next thing I know. Yeah. Tapioca is
in my throat. Yes. I don't, don't enjoy that. Uh, yes. Good question good question. But milkshakes are the answer. And how would I incorporate it into my diet?
I would wake up, have a milkshake,
work out because I can right after a milkshake if they're healthy,
and then I would have three more milkshakes
because it's like you got to get your daily intake of milkshakes.
The doctor recommended eight a day because they're healthy.
And then I would have a milkshake before and after lunch, and then one for a snack before and after dinner, and then one for a
midnight snack just to kind of boost the metabolism for the nighttime. So in this scenario where
milkshakes are healthy, you also have the motivation and discipline to work out in the morning.
A hundred percent. That's awesome. Yeah. Because it's like, oh, anything's possible. Milkshakes are healthy.
I can do anything.
Yeah.
I'm good.
That's cool.
I think my, this is going to sound similar at first, but hear me out.
Okay. My suggestion is milk.
Okay.
Both as a drink and, wait for it, as like a dressing, as a topping to like healthify
something that's maybe still not that healthy for
me like using milk as like this really healthy but good tasting um what do you mean by topping
you know like you could put it on your i guess it hold on it doesn't change the taste of it does it
it just becomes healthy i was thinking i could like put it on pizza and now my pizza's healthy
but then i would just have milky pizza yeah
so stupid sometimes okay new answer um milk was fun for a second though yeah yeah because it would
still it would still taste the same a food that would become healthy let's say uh donuts i love
eating donuts they feel good in my mouth they feel good in my mouth. They feel good in my hand.
When I touch all 12 of them, when I ordered two, yeah, I can put down some donuts and
I have them all the time.
Pretty much anytime I might go get gas at quick trip.
Like I could probably have two donuts too.
Quick trip did that new thing where you can get two for 99 cents, which is just dangerous.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's good.
Cause they've got to be one of the worst things for you to eat.
I never feel good after I eat a donut.
But if they're healthy, I think I would.
If they're healthy and I'm starting to work out?
Yeah.
They could.
They could be real good.
Can you imagine if it's like, all right, take a quick break, get six donuts in you, and
let's keep going.
Like, that'd be awesome.
Like you're running a marathon and people are handing you cups of water or donuts over
the side of it?
Yeah. It's one or the other because, yeah, they're equally healthy.
Police officers would be jacked.
Hey, Krepke.
Okay, we got one more.
Hey, Jake and Brad.
This is Josiah from Buenos Aires, Argentina.
A long time listening to the podcast.
I love you guys' stuff.
Makes me laugh a lot.
I have a question
for um jake uh are you into gaming a lot because i might may or may not stalk you on instagram and
seeing you follow a lot of uh influencers that are also gamers so that's just my question. And then for Brad, do you have names yet for your new child? And are you going to have to be featured on Jay Kennedy's Crazy White Baby Names? All right. You guys take care. Wishing you guys the best. And that's it. Wow, that's cool. Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Another place that you guys aren't going on tour, for the record.
I know.
No Buenos Aires?
No good air?
Wow, he doesn't sound Argentinian.
What do you think he sounded like?
Anglo-Saxon?
He sounded like, yeah, he sounded like he was from West Virginia, I think.
If I could pin it.
Yeah, thank you for the voice message.
Voice memo, Josiah.
All the way down from Argentina. Yeah. Thank you for the voice message. Voice memo, Josiah. All the way down from Argentina.
Cool.
First question for me.
Yeah, I do.
When like, you know, Ninja first blew up and was like streaming with Drake.
I was like, this is fascinating.
This is crazy.
Like I didn't know, probably like most people, I had no idea that like gaming and Twitch
and all that was even really a thing.
And just instantly became fascinated by it and was like,
should I try and capitalize on this?
So that's like probably two weeks after that,
I went and bought a PlayStation.
So I was like, maybe I'll give this a shot.
And then I was like, okay, Fortnite is really hard
and I'm not good enough.
To be like nationally ranked or anything.
Well, not even that.
I was just like streaming was like such a fun option.
You know, this is before we had a podcast. I was like, I think I can talk, no problem. And I'm never going to run out of ranked or anything. Well, not even that. I was just like streaming was like such a fun option. You know, this is before we had a podcast.
I was like, I think I can talk no problem.
And I'm never going to run out of things to say.
But I think there's an element to streaming.
Like you need to be good and have a good personality.
You can't just have one and have that carry.
You could be just good at the video game, I think.
And maybe have a lackluster personality.
But it can't be the other way around.
Yeah.
People are more there for the gaming aspect than they are the personality. Yeah. I think it's not fun to watch. So anyway, ever since then,
yeah, I've still kind of been fascinated and intrigued by the gaming world and still follow
it and keep up with it for the most part. I think it's really interesting, but I'm not much of a
gamer myself, just kind of a, uh, a fan and follower. Nice. Uh, we don't have a name picked out yet for the boy. Um, with Hattie, we didn't
even know until after she was born, we had two names. It was either Hattie or Caroline. I knew
the whole time that I wanted to be Hattie, but Catherine's like, Oh, just wait till it's born
and we'll have to see. And so then she was born. Catherine was just like overwhelmingly tired and
emotional. And so I was like, it's Hattie. It's definitely Hattie. And she's like, great. Uh, so she's weak. We have a few names. I don't think any of them are going
to be on Trey's, you know, crazy white baby names. I don't think any, anything's going to be, uh,
anything close to anything like that. Um, that's not our personality. It's definitely not Catherine's
person. Catherine's like very classic and everything she does. Um, and I'm, I'm the same
way to the most part for the most part. I wouldn't mind like a cool, like strong random boy's name,
like Knox or Duke, like something like that. That's like a little bit out there, you know,
but like, but I don't think even that's going to happen. So, uh, we're really in between Jacob, Isaac, Peter, and Gunner right now. So, uh,
we'll let you know which one we choose. So, all right. What if I gave you some,
one thing that we're not going to do is Connor. We're not going to do Connor.
We want our, we want our kid to have discernment from the get-go.
That's smart. Yeah. I'm going to give you, uh, some options of some crazy names. Okay. And like, if you had to choose one of these.
Crazy white baby names.
Great.
For your son, which one would it be?
Okay.
So you're going to give me how many options and I have to choose one of them?
Yeah, I'll give you four.
Okay.
And these are taken from actual, like these are the most popular, like trending baby names
for 2020.
So I'm not just like making these up.
These are real.
Okay.
Leaf.
Oh. L-E-I-F. Oh, like making these up. These are real. Okay. Leaf. Oh.
L-E-I-F.
Oh, like Erickson.
Magnus.
Axel.
Okay.
Or Mateo.
Oh my gosh.
Those are my options?
Yep.
Leaf, Magnus, Axel, Mateo.
What did Leaf Erickson do?
He was an explorer. Is that right? Do you know who that even is?son do he was an explorer is that right do you know who i who that even is i thought he was an athlete was he i thought he was an olympian
leaf erickson was a norse explorer from iceland so i nailed that um leaf so magnus i just think
of like oh you made it to the Olympics for wrestling good job Magnus
what about Magnum Opus who's that that's like a word for like it's not even the same word as
Magnus but Magnum Opus it's like uh you know you're I think it's maybe like an orchestra term
okay Mr. Holland's Opus was a movie it was which was about orchestra people okay cool look at me
Opus I nailed the Leaf Erickson thing So why would this be wrong? Okay, yeah.
I think it's like your big,
like the crescendo or like the finale,
the climax.
Oh, yeah.
Your magnum opus.
Okay.
And so, oh, magnum opus is like,
that's what that is.
It's a big one.
It's probably Latin.
Okay.
Well, if his name was Magnum,
I might just have said that.
But Magnus, no.
Magnus is still a wrestler in my head.
Axl sounds like Axl Rose,
which is a great guitarist
And I do like guitar a lot
But I don't necessarily want him to live the Axl Rose lifestyle
And then the last one was
Mateo
Mateo sounds like
It's Filipino or something
We have no relation to Filipino people
As far as you know
As far as we know
And so I guess I'm going with Leif
Leif Eriksson was a Norse explorer from Iceland He was first known you know people as far as you know as far as we know um and so i guess i'm going with leaf okay
leaf leaf erickson was a norse explorer from iceland he was first known he was the first
known european to have set foot on continental north america before christopher columbus so
at least he's got somebody else like like if you name your kid you know david oh that means he's
you got this guy that slayed Goliath as his namesake.
If I name him Magnus, you got, oh, you got a bull that's similar to you. I don't know.
So you have four more, is that? Yeah, yeah. No, I got more. I was waiting for your leaf
explanation. All right. Alva. What? These are the most popular names. I mean, I chose some of
the crazier ones. Still. I think I'm not choosing. I've never heard of this name, Alva. Alva. What? These are the most popular names. I mean, I chose some of the crazier ones.
Still.
I think I'm not choosing.
I've never heard of this name, Alva.
Alva sounds like something, kind of like larva.
Yeah, like some sort of infant insect or something.
Oh, yeah.
Look at this Alva.
Something that grows in tropical climates and ponds come.
Alva?
Alva.
Diego, Micah, or Phoenix? Alva, Diego, Micah, or Phoenix?
Alva, Diego, Micah, Phoenix.
Micah.
All day.
Micah.
Pretty close to her real name.
Yeah.
It's biblical.
Okay.
I'm going to be honest.
I'm not biblical enough to know what Micah did in the Bible, but I know he's there.
What if I told you this was spelled M-I-K-A?
No, no.
No.
What if I told you it was?
Is it though though for real?
It is. Oh my gosh. No, because then people are going to call Mika his whole life. Yeah. Which
seems like a dog's name. Yeah. You would see that on a collar. I don't want any name that people are
going to have to be like, uh, actually it's, you know, and then fill in the blank. That's how it's
pronounced. I think people are going to misspell Hattie's name a lot. They're going to put D's instead of T's.
That's,
that's okay.
We,
we,
we start calling her Hattie,
I guess.
Uh,
but no,
you don't want somebody to misspell,
mispronounce your name all the time.
So what was the other ones?
Diego,
Alva,
and Micah or Phoenix.
Oh man.
I don't.
This isn't your actual kid's name. I know, I know.
Okay, okay.
Diego.
Diego.
It means James.
That's kind of cool.
Okay, next set of matchups.
We're going to get all the way down to the final four here.
I've got to find out.
It's not ranked by gender, so I just got to...
Okay, Cora with a C.
Bode?
Okay, Bode. Could be B bode but you never know bode
miller yeah uh okay cora bode zade z-a-i-d or true how you spell that t-r-u-e okay
cora is a girl's name gotta be a. Alex Cora. That's his last name.
But it's still associated with a man.
Okay.
That's bad logic.
True.
True.
True Ellis?
Yeah.
I'd probably call him F. True Ellis, and first name would be Frickin'.
Cool.
That makes sense.
Who's that?
That's Frickin' True.
Okay. Last makes sense. Who's that? That's Frickin' True. Okay, last matchup.
Chicago.
Cairo.
Just cities?
Kylo or Lucius.
Oh my gosh.
Lucius. Yeah, like Batman. Oh, okay. Lucius.
Yeah.
Like Batman.
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
That's his name?
Morgan Freeman.
Yeah.
Oh, for sure then.
Because Kylo is definitely based off Kylo Ren.
That's why it's so popular.
I don't know anything about Star Wars.
Besides the guy's name is Kylo Ren.
Huge nose.
Mm-hmm.
That too.
He reminds me of the guy from Garden State,
Zach Braff. I don't watch movies about gardening. What about the whole state? Nope. Nope. Okay.
So we have your, wait, you chose Lucius? Lucius. then Leaf. I mean, let's think.
Leaf.
Leaf Ellis kind of sounds like it's going to sound funny if you say them both together.
Leaf Ellis.
Hey, girls can stay, but you got to leave, fellas.
Okay.
You could use that in a sentence pretty easily.
True Ellis.
True Ellis sounds like...
Cruella DeVille. True Ellis DeVille. okay you could use that in a sense pretty easily true ellis true ellis sounds like uh corella deville trellis deville it sounds like something like ask your doctor before taking
true ellis that's a good one um there's a lot of side effects to true ellis diego ellis
um just sounds like an adopted kid and then what was the last one lucius lucius lucius ellis lucius ellis lucius and ellis kind of
i'm going lucius lucius ellis lucius cool and people can call them luscious lucius
they could they'd call them a lot of things they could call an idiot
oh they can't get the rings at 12 feet yeah guy you can't get over the fence
they would call them a lot of things growing up i think Nimrod. Guy that can't get the rings at 12 feet. Yeah. Guy you can't get over the fence.
They would call him a lot of things growing up, I think.
Oh, boy.
Okay, cool. Let's get into our, thank you for all the voice memos.
Josiah and Danny.
And who's the first one from?
Connor.
Connor.
Yeah, it's an easy name to forget.
And let's get into our reviews of the week.
Somewhere between Friday and now, we have gotten so many really quality reviews. Yeah. yeah it's easy name to forget and let's get into our reviews of the week somehow between friday
and now we have gotten so many amazing really quality reviews yeah quality and quantity is high
i think my favorite one it's gonna be hard i mean one of the reviews is from it says my future wife
which is exciting uh don't know who she is but still cool that she has staked that claim yeah
uh she did rank you above me so that makes sense not sure what the rankings are but yeah i would Don't know who she is, but still cool that she has staked that claim. Yeah.
She did rank you above me, so that makes sense.
Not sure what the rankings are, but yeah, I was above you.
Did you get the reference?
It's Michael Scott, right?
Yeah.
Or no.
It's Holly talking to Michael Scott.
Yes, now I remember, because she doesn't like Todd Packer.
Yeah. She says, Bill Cosby, Steve Martin, Charlie by my finger, all the way down here, Todd Packer.
So thank you, future wife.
Love you.
But my favorite review is probably from a guy I met many, many years ago.
Had no idea he was listening to the podcast.
He said, hilarious podcast.
My wife, who I met while working at Canicuck, is obsessed with it
and is wanting me to buy an Ellis Custom Creations table.
Come on.
You know where to find them.
I need you to hook me up, Brad.
I also paid for my wife's ring with a combination of working for Brahms, preaching, K-Life, and
selling my plasma. Almost a thousand dollars from plasma money. That's awesome. The blood diamond
thing is a thing. It's a thing. That's crazy. I can honestly say that I bled for her ring.
They didn't wrap my arm several times, which did lead to blood running down my arm and several
people freaking out.
Anyway, love your podcast.
Love that you're all honoring the Lord.
I'll make it so many people laugh.
Thank you, Dylan.
Yes.
My review of the week.
Yeah, I just want to always, I'm always so tempted for all the people that ever leave reviews, just know that we want to read every single one of them, but that wouldn't be a
very fun podcast.
Just know that we love them all.
If you ever want more affirmation about your review,
just message us on Instagram and we will say we loved it.
Okay.
Because we do.
Like I want to read like three,
but I won't.
I'm just going to read the one from our girl,
Kate McGinty.
Oh,
previous baby of the week.
Yes.
So Jake and Brad,
she,
the title is absolutely ruined.
Jake and Brad were the first podcasters
I ever really listened to and they've ruined all of their podcasts for me in the best way.
I have yet to find one that makes my day like theirs does. Thanks guys for teaching me what
the term ghostwriter meant. Thanks for not being a podcast that talks about running ghosts. Not yet.
Yeah. We'll see. We're, we're evolving. Um, and thanks for making something that I can share
with literally everyone I know. I'm irked. Oh, gosh.
She bleeped it.
Okay.
Yeah.
I'm upset at Mondays for taking so long to get here.
And that is freaking true.
Keep it up, my homies.
Kate McGinty.
So that's a really nice one.
I like it because I like really just the thing where she says she can share with literally everyone she knows.
Like we want it to be, we want our podcast to be relatable and fun for almost anybody in any stage so it's like chick-fil-a baby it is take anyone there everyone can find something we're the chick-fil-a of podcasts that's what i've
always said that since yeah just now that was our smart goal one one of review though asked us a
question which we can answer and then wrap it up with that from clint walker uh he said quick
question love the podcast uh what is your most embarrassing high school story?
He's a high schooler himself and just thinks people in high school take themselves way too
seriously and wants to hear a story from us. Okay. I think I told the story on the podcast
about how I punched somebody in the face, a girl in the face. Rachel Mustaine. Yes. So
that's probably my most embarrassing moment of high school.
But that one's kind of funny.
I also got like tackled one time.
I don't know if I told you this,
and I got like a rug burn all over my face in high school.
That was kind of embarrassing.
You got tackled on a rug?
Yeah, it was like we got out of Spanish class and we hated our Spanish teacher.
And I was like, put up my hands in the air.
Like I was like praising the Lord.
And my friend who was bigger than I was came up to me.
He was like, we're done, and gave me a hug,
but I didn't know he was coming.
So I just flew down and got carpet burned all over my face.
So that was pretty embarrassing.
Hard to cover up any kind of issue on your face.
It was really bad.
Yeah, it looked really bad.
I wasn't super embarrassed by that, though.
I'll tell you my most truly embarrassing moment that's not even funny to me, it's like that just sucked. Sure. Maybe you're going to find
it funny. Um, it was eighth grade. It was my first year ever playing football. Um, like, I don't know,
did you grow up playing football or did you start in school? I grew up playing it, played some
Mighty Mites. Okay. So never, never did I ever do that. Um, I think it was just too expensive to buy
all the equipment and stuff or whatever. I don't know. It may not have been that fun for you because they always had that weight limit if you
were too big you couldn't even carry the ball oh it's so bad for those kids yeah like they wouldn't
let you be a ball carrier oh like yeah you're even if there's a fumble you have to just pounce on it
you can't even pick it up and run oh really like you have like a some like tag around you that's
just like yeah you're a bull you're a bull not a colt like exactly okay
no yeah didn't didn't play until eighth grade the scarlet letter on you just a big f um but since i
didn't play until eighth grade i didn't know how football pads worked at all and it's kind of
complicated you put your legs through the shoulder pads so no no like a diaper so just just to give
you a little bit and i think it's evolved some now they have like those things you can just put everything in like these like
kind of slider short things yeah um but back when in eighth grade they didn't have those
so you have these thigh pads right these tight pants with a lot of pockets and a lot of no mine
didn't have pockets i don't think it had holes it had all these holes like in the belt loops for
all your stuff to go through so you had to like like go in and out like you were sewing basically
oh yeah your belt had holes yes and the pads had holes oh my pads were just like yeah pockets you
would just put the pads in no that's how it was in high school okay um but in middle school it
was not like that okay so just holes i can't even imagine this sorry keep going though okay so like
imagine like there's like maybe four slats in your thigh pads and so you
kind of go in one out the other in oh weird the other yes that could come out right like your pad
if you get hit hard that could definitely like i don't or at least like move quite a bit probably
yeah um so there's so so there's two on each of your thighs or one on each of your thighs and
there's one on your backside and then there's one like you have thigh pads i'm's two on each of your thighs or one on each of your thighs and there's one on your backside. And then there's one, like you have thigh pads. I'm sorry. Two on each of your
hips. There's definitely some thighs. You've said that many times. On your sides, by like where
your belt is, but then you also have ones on the front. Anyway, and then you got your knee pads,
all this stuff. And so I didn't really know what I was doing. I had some other kid who had played
football for kind of helped me out and put him together. Maybe he hadn't even played football though,
because at the end of the story, you'll understand. I put my pants on it.
They didn't feel right, but I didn't know what I was doing.
And I walked out and there were these ninth graders there that had been playing
football for at least a year.
And my pads were just like way cattywampus on me.
And I just, I will remember this to the, like for the rest of my life as this,
these ninth graders looked at me and it was like the most something from a movie ever. Like people
never really bully people in school. Like they act like they do, but I felt like I was bullied
at this point. They were literally pointing and laughing and this guy goes, he has his thigh pads
on his butt. And I felt so bad. Like I was so embarrassed. You're like apologizing.
You don't even know what I'm sorry. I guess they were all laughing and I'm sure I did look
ridiculous because I had no idea what I was doing. Um, but I felt so bad. And one of the coaches
luckily came up and was like, let me help you. And like, kind of readjusted all the,
which sounds kind of weird now, but like, you know, like whatever did it all for me he's like hey don't make fun of him he has special needs yeah okay guys that's not cool and so i was like i
don't know if i cried really bad but i definitely cried some and just felt so embarrassed so i'll
i'll never make fun of anybody that needs help with anything for being a first timer again because
it's like golly that was the worst and now i was just insecure the rest of like you know my season and now that friend has lost all trust with you you're not
going to trust him for anything no you made you walked you out there yeah like an idiot anyway so
uh that was that was genuinely my most embarrassing moment of my life like if anybody asked it's not
even like a fun answer because it's just like yeah i got made fun of for not knowing what I was doing. It does sound embarrassing.
Trying to do something new.
I'm sorry, dude.
It's okay. I don't live with this deep regret now or anything. Maybe I would have asked somebody else to help me with my pants, but besides that, I'm okay.
The one embarrassing story I can remember from high school also has to deal with
Atleticos.
Yeah, of course.
It was freshman year of high school i'm standing about 4 10
probably not nearly the 4 10 i'm kind of guessing but i mean but maybe i was pretty short kid for a
while yeah maybe maybe it was in the fives okay but nonetheless not nearly as confident as i would
grow into becoming and it was pre-season basketball workouts so we're in the gym in the fall uh
working out and getting real
sweaty we go down to the locker room and i'm so hot down there and there's kind of this like
emergency exit door but the alarm would never go off we would use it from time to time and so i was
like i kind of like took all my clothes off i'm still in my boxers i'm just trying to cool off
and i'm like i'm gonna go outside oh no and like cool off in the breeze it was a really nice fall
day and i'm the only one who
goes out there because this wasn't that abnormal of a thing just like cool off and the door closes
behind me it's an emergency exit so there's no like handle to even get in of course my friends
are not gonna let me in because they think this is hilarious they understand the situation
and i'm like okay this is a little embarrassing i'll have to walk back through the gym there'll
be like a couple coaches there but they'll like understand or whatever do you have your shoes on
still no no I am I have nothing on except for boxers for some reason it just cracks me up to
imagine you and boxers and your tennis basketball shoes they were gray fruit of the loom boxers
I still remember this and so I'm like okay it's kind of weird kind of funny I guess
but yeah there'll be a couple coaches in the gym somehow between pre-season basketball getting over and this time varsity volleyball has started no practicing in
the gym so girls that are three to four years older or two to three years older than you we're
talking three years older six inches taller girls that are babes yeah oh yeah the volleyball girls
are always the most attractive they're barely wearing more clothing than i am at this point
so it's all around. Worst case scenario.
Do not look at them.
I'll tell you that much as you're walking by.
Keep your eyes up.
I actually kept my eyes down a lot.
And just, yeah, I had my head literally down.
I just like walked to that locker room as fast as I could.
Just like, they're probably all looking at me.
I don't know.
I'm just this wet little boy in my boxers,
just walking right through a high school volleyball practice.
And I got down to that locker room and they're all laughing oh that's awesome and embarrassing so don't go out emergency exits or at least if you do have your clothes on yeah or put a stopper in
the door or if and if someone calls you you know just call them back later once you're back in the
locker room and have your clothes on or have a yeah don't answer the phone then that's awesome
dude yeah that's the one it's a't answer the phone then that's awesome dude yeah
that's the one it's a decent story but it's that's the only one i can remember so i think
has any girl ever come up to you and be like hey i was in the practice whenever you did that like
has anybody ever said anything girl wise uh nope but if you're listening yeah and you remember or
you want to just like make it up you you know, to start a conversation with me.

when i went to australia new zealand I went with this big Oklahoma crew of people.
And quite honestly, I have no idea how this connection happened.
But one day in downtown Sydney, Australia, we picked up their parents, the Hansons.
Mr. and Mrs. Hanson.
Yes.
We picked them up and they were in our car.
What?
And then I think I went and did something else.
What did we do that night?
I don't know.
I went and did something.
But then some of the people in our group had
concert tickets to see Hanson
that's why their parents were there
at the Sydney Opera House.
Really? They performed there. No way.
Like I said, I didn't go.
That's really cool. I heard about it.
They just had this really random connection.
I mean, kind of. I don't even know their names.
They would not know who I was.
You had a hard time remembering their name at first.
But I've been in a minivan with their parents.
I love it.
That's cool.
Hanson.
