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
Starting point is 00:00:37 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.
Starting point is 00:01:03 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
Starting point is 00:01:38 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.
Starting point is 00:02:14 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
Starting point is 00:03:09 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.
Starting point is 00:03:33 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.
Starting point is 00:03:39 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?
Starting point is 00:03:54 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
Starting point is 00:04:28 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.
Starting point is 00:04:51 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.
Starting point is 00:05:01 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.
Starting point is 00:05:11 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.
Starting point is 00:05:21 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
Starting point is 00:05:42 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,
Starting point is 00:06:10 how eggs, eggs, eggs, eggs. As you say, I say eggs. Like you're really just reinforcing. Catherine,
Starting point is 00:06:21 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
Starting point is 00:06:46 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
Starting point is 00:07:01 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.
Starting point is 00:07:33 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?
Starting point is 00:07:58 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.
Starting point is 00:08:30 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
Starting point is 00:08:47 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.
Starting point is 00:09:00 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.
Starting point is 00:09:14 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.
Starting point is 00:09:26 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
Starting point is 00:10:07 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.
Starting point is 00:10:47 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.
Starting point is 00:10:59 Really? It's a skater store? Kind of. Okay. But I'm going to look hot. Okay. Oh, yeah. I went through my-
Starting point is 00:11:04 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,
Starting point is 00:11:15 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
Starting point is 00:11:42 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.
Starting point is 00:12:14 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.
Starting point is 00:12:22 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.
Starting point is 00:12:46 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?
Starting point is 00:12:55 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
Starting point is 00:13:23 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.
Starting point is 00:13:37 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
Starting point is 00:14:04 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.
Starting point is 00:14:28 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.
Starting point is 00:14:41 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.
Starting point is 00:14:54 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,
Starting point is 00:15:28 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.
Starting point is 00:15:40 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
Starting point is 00:16:05 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
Starting point is 00:16:50 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,
Starting point is 00:17:27 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
Starting point is 00:17:45 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.
Starting point is 00:17:55 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.
Starting point is 00:18:04 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.
Starting point is 00:18:27 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.
Starting point is 00:18:37 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,
Starting point is 00:18:47 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
Starting point is 00:18:57 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
Starting point is 00:19:05 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.
Starting point is 00:19:39 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,
Starting point is 00:20:01 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.
Starting point is 00:20:20 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.
Starting point is 00:20:34 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
Starting point is 00:20:59 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.
Starting point is 00:21:34 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.
Starting point is 00:21:52 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.
Starting point is 00:22:03 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
Starting point is 00:22:36 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.
Starting point is 00:23:11 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.
Starting point is 00:23:22 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.
Starting point is 00:23:53 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
Starting point is 00:24:35 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
Starting point is 00:25:12 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
Starting point is 00:25:54 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
Starting point is 00:26:24 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
Starting point is 00:27:01 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
Starting point is 00:27:44 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
Starting point is 00:28:24 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
Starting point is 00:29:06 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.
Starting point is 00:29:46 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,
Starting point is 00:29:54 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.
Starting point is 00:30:00 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.
Starting point is 00:30:20 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.
Starting point is 00:30:39 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. The all-new FanDuel Sportsbook and Casino is bringing you more action than ever. Want more ways to follow your faves?

I need to put some clothes on. That's a literal thing, right? What? Like they mean that literally? Yes.
Starting point is 00:32:47 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...
Starting point is 00:33:00 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
Starting point is 00:33:20 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.
Starting point is 00:33:51 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
Starting point is 00:33:59 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
Starting point is 00:34:18 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
Starting point is 00:35:03 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
Starting point is 00:35:42 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.
Starting point is 00:35:53 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.
Starting point is 00:36:14 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
Starting point is 00:36:47 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
Starting point is 00:37:28 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.
Starting point is 00:37:55 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.
Starting point is 00:38:09 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.
Starting point is 00:38:24 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
Starting point is 00:39:01 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.
Starting point is 00:39:17 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
Starting point is 00:39:25 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
Starting point is 00:40:04 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
Starting point is 00:40:44 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.
Starting point is 00:41:03 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?
Starting point is 00:41:48 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.
Starting point is 00:42:17 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.
Starting point is 00:42:46 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.
Starting point is 00:42:57 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.
Starting point is 00:43:07 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.
Starting point is 00:43:18 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.
Starting point is 00:43:31 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,
Starting point is 00:43:52 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.
Starting point is 00:44:10 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.
Starting point is 00:44:25 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,
Starting point is 00:44:29 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.
Starting point is 00:44:37 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.
Starting point is 00:44:47 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,
Starting point is 00:45:13 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.
Starting point is 00:45:25 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.
Starting point is 00:45:35 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
Starting point is 00:45:56 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.
Starting point is 00:46:13 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,
Starting point is 00:46:21 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
Starting point is 00:46:36 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.
Starting point is 00:46:52 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
Starting point is 00:47:31 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
Starting point is 00:48:19 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?
Starting point is 00:48:44 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.
Starting point is 00:49:24 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.
Starting point is 00:49:49 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.
Starting point is 00:50:29 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?
Starting point is 00:50:50 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
Starting point is 00:51:13 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
Starting point is 00:51:48 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
Starting point is 00:52:39 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
Starting point is 00:53:19 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
Starting point is 00:54:02 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
Starting point is 00:54:48 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.
Starting point is 00:55:22 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.
Starting point is 00:55:53 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
Starting point is 00:56:22 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.
Starting point is 00:56:55 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?
Starting point is 00:57:10 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?
Starting point is 00:57:25 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.
Starting point is 00:57:43 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?
Starting point is 00:58:32 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.
Starting point is 00:58:47 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.
Starting point is 00:59:03 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.
Starting point is 00:59:21 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.
Starting point is 00:59:36 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
Starting point is 01:00:07 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,
Starting point is 01:00:50 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.
Starting point is 01:01:29 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.
Starting point is 01:01:41 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.
Starting point is 01:01:52 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
Starting point is 01:02:12 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,
Starting point is 01:02:48 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.
Starting point is 01:02:56 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
Starting point is 01:03:07 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
Starting point is 01:03:22 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
Starting point is 01:03:57 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.
Starting point is 01:04:17 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.
Starting point is 01:04:30 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?
Starting point is 01:04:42 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.
Starting point is 01:05:05 That's, that's okay. We, we, we start calling her Hattie, I guess. Uh, but no,
Starting point is 01:05:11 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.
Starting point is 01:05:27 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.
Starting point is 01:05:38 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.
Starting point is 01:06:08 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.
Starting point is 01:06:23 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.
Starting point is 01:06:40 Oh my gosh. Lucius. Yeah, like Batman. Oh, okay. Lucius. Yeah. Like Batman. Oh, okay. Yeah. Oh, yeah. That's his name?
Starting point is 01:06:51 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.
Starting point is 01:07:02 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.
Starting point is 01:07:35 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
Starting point is 01:08:08 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.
Starting point is 01:08:37 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
Starting point is 01:08:57 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.
Starting point is 01:09:16 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.
Starting point is 01:09:35 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.
Starting point is 01:10:00 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.
Starting point is 01:10:16 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,
Starting point is 01:10:33 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,
Starting point is 01:10:40 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.
Starting point is 01:11:06 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.
Starting point is 01:11:29 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.
Starting point is 01:12:06 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.
Starting point is 01:12:20 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.
Starting point is 01:12:37 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
Starting point is 01:13:11 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
Starting point is 01:13:53 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
Starting point is 01:14:33 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.
Starting point is 01:15:10 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
Starting point is 01:15:40 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
Starting point is 01:16:28 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.
Starting point is 01:17:01 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
Starting point is 01:17:34 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
Starting point is 01:18:06 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.
Starting point is 01:18:45 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.
Starting point is 01:18:59 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
