Starting point is 00:00:00 Brad, you know, there's different times in every young man's life where he self-evaluates how single he may or may not be at the time. Like, ooh, haven't talked to a girl in a while. Ooh, things are heating up with this one girl. But every now and then, the world tells you how single you are. And this happened to me recently when I typed in my phone the word kissing, spelled it correctly, and my phone changed it to kidding. It was like, there's no way you're kissing on.
Starting point is 00:00:24 You have to be kidding. Just yeah just kissing uh and i knew i spelled it right too because of all the times when i was a kid sitting in a tree right k-i-s-s-i-n-g yes you're like you you thought back to it yes right that is how you spell it in the world steve jobs mainly is saying no you are a k-i-d-d-i-N-G. There's no way you could be kissing anyone! It's a pandemic! Jeez! I love it, dude. So! I typed in theme.
Starting point is 00:00:54 Tried to get our Ghost Starters theme song. But it's in CW on CBS. Brad will make it work. He'll make it work. Uh-oh, uh-oh. Who I think this type beat me This is going down With some random thoughts

As long as I have the lyrics, like I can do the lyrics fine. As long as I can do the melody fine. As long as I have the lyrics consistently. And you've got the lyrics. Yeah, I got them. Well, this is episode 53, everyone, which means our second episode of year two. Whoa. Maybe first episode of year two. Yeah. And I'm
Starting point is 00:02:00 always struggling with that. Like your first birthday is really like, like why not the day you're born is your birthday, but that's not your first birthday is really like, like why not the day you were born is your birthday, but that's not your first birthday. You're not one on your first birthday. Yeah. Cause you're zero for 12 months. Right. So did we just turn one?
Starting point is 00:02:14 We've been zero this whole time. But is that first day that you were born, not your birthday? It is. So why isn't, so whenever you turn one, you say, Hey,
Starting point is 00:02:23 we're celebrating his first birthday. Are you? Are you? He, hey, we're celebrating his first birthday. Are you? Are you? He's turning one, so we're celebrating his second birthday. Think about it. I am. It's tricky. I'm 28, you're 29.
Starting point is 00:02:36 Right. But you've been on this earth like pretty much 30 years. Yeah. You know, but you're 29. Right. It's very confusing. Gosh, Trump's America, man. I'll tell you what, man. It's all but you're 29. Right. It's very confusing. Gosh, Trump's America, man. I'll tell you what, man. It's all his fault for sure. I hope you guys know we're joking. I just
Starting point is 00:02:52 don't know. No, no, no. Knoxville hates this. Our numbers have gone down so far in Knoxville, man. I tell you what, the volunteer state does not enjoy us. I would do that with whoever, whichever president it was. I think it's funny to blame things outside of the president's control of the president. Anyway, Brad, what's new? We're back in the basement. Last week's episode was in Chick-fil-A, which is fun, but now we're back. We're on home turf. Home turf, back in the basement.
Starting point is 00:03:19 As of recording right now, still no babe. For you and Catherine? Correct. Or for you, apparently. Me as well. Your autocorrect is struggling on you, so still no babe. For you and Catherine? Correct. Or for you, apparently. Me as well. Your autocorrect is struggling on you, so still no babe for you. Still no baby, but I am confident. I will bet anybody that wants it right now, and it's only you pretty much, I'll bet you $100 to one.
Starting point is 00:03:38 I'll give you 100 to one odds. I don't know if I really truly mean this, but I'll give you 101 odds we will have this baby by the time this comes out next Monday. If you want to take it, think about it. If anyone offers you 101 odds on anything, you take it. I don't want you to have to pay me $100 if Catherine can't start contracting. I don't know what that appointment was this morning. Maybe you know insider info that I don't. Yeah, she had an appointment this morning that basically said,
Starting point is 00:04:06 oh, it's coming pretty soon. Like, young jock, it's going down. Meet me in the hospital. It's going down. Meet me in the stirrups. It's going down. It's weird that they're called that. Because stirrups are a lot of other things, too.
Starting point is 00:04:24 You think of a horse right away. Or even like the type of... It's like a large beast. The type of sock that baseball players wore in the 70s. Those were stirrups. Oh, yeah. Were you a high pants or low pants baseball player? I always pulled mine up to my knees.
Starting point is 00:04:38 Pre-high school was high pants. And then once I got out of high school... It was way cooler. Yeah, we wanted to look cool. You had to have the baggy pants in high school. yeah yeah that's fair good for you thanks dude yeah man anyway outside of not having a baby what else has been going on uh outside of not having a baby just being prepared for a baby is pretty much everything's been going on right now nothing too extreme nothing too crazy is happy still pooping on the floor yeah uh yesterday we gave
Starting point is 00:05:03 up we gave we we retreated we decided it's not it's not happening yet and people out there are going to judge us and be like oh you guys are so close i promise you we weren't nothing there was no progress happening like there was one time where so for a while she just like hated even like going to try to go on the toilet and so it was like pulling teeth even getting her there and then we figured out like okay we can like we we eventually made it like that she could get on the toilet and so it was like pulling teeth even getting her there then we figured out like okay we can like we eventually made it like that she could get on the toilet and be okay sitting there for a while and nothing would come out i mean one time i was sitting there in the bathroom with her for 30 minutes nothing whoa yeah oh yeah we watched videos we listened
Starting point is 00:05:38 to songs nothing was working she goes to eat her lunch. Like five minutes later, just freaking Niagara down there, dude. Like just waterfalls all over the kitchen. Mount Vesuvius erupted. I mean, yeah. Like from where she went, the reverb from it, I don't know, whatever, you know, like there were spots five, six feet away. It's like how did you go so hard? And I don't think she had any idea that she was about to go and then she just started going so I just don't think
Starting point is 00:06:07 That she mentally understands that she's going yet. She's not there yet And so we're like, let's this is this is stressful at all of us. This is not worth it right now So judge us as you want. That's what's happening right now. Judge him you guys you heard him Hey judge the five-star review and judge me. I dare you But yeah, so so we put her back in the dipes. But hopefully in her head, she doesn't think that she won. That's that's the thing that we were like. We like had this conversation.
Starting point is 00:06:33 Catherine, I like. Should we like talk to her? And Catherine's like, well, if we talk to her, she's going to think like, oh, I won. You know, I think this huge competition. Keep pooping with this five foot reverb. Right. And keep winning and getting what I want Yeah, it was reverb the right word. Probably not. What is it? What's the the whatever it is like the
Starting point is 00:06:50 The not the recoil. That's not it either. I don't know re something. I can't think of the word either Sorry out there. I know people listening. It's killing. Yeah, they're like, come on It's well by the end of the episode we have to think of it I'll tell you what this is one thing so we just released uh videos on youtube this is the second week we're gonna do that and uh if you are watching on youtube you can comment in real time which i think is really fun so comment right now what you think the word is what do you mean comment in real time like you can comment and your comment will show up with a time stamp on there you have to put the time stamp yourself no you do yeah gosh no but that's so that's something i had written down too
Starting point is 00:07:26 though it would be fun for people if any like you know super fan out there wants to do it for us like i don't want to take the time to do this necessarily but like having timestamps in the comments like you know 1306 is when they started talking about and then 2607 was when they started talking about this that would be fun to see okay yeah or just get crazy with the timestamps in general like whatever we're at right now like the word you're looking for is this at the timestamp i think youtube comments could be very fun see i missed i didn't know that you couldn't just do that like i thought it was like if you comment at this time then it would show that you commented then like but that because that's how it works on like if
Starting point is 00:08:02 you're doing like a facebook live video, you can see when they commented. So I thought it was, if this was a live stream, I tell you what, then we could maybe, Hey, maybe someday. I Googled, um, like volcano eruptions to try and find that reverb word and I can't find it yet. Okay. We'll figure it out. Magma chamber.
Starting point is 00:08:20 You think that's what it was? Her magma chamber was all over the kitchen. Oh my goodness. Five foot radius on her magma chamber. Easily. That's's what it was her magma chamber was all over the kitchen oh my goodness five foot radius on her magma chamber easily that's definitely what it was dmc yeah anyway yeah hattie uh has been she's she's been a trooper but she's been peeing all over the place and so that's that's pretty much been our week nothing too crazy a poper. Yeah. A pooper trooper. Yeah, that's right. That's right. A pooper trooper. Poopa troopa. What's the Mario Kart?
Starting point is 00:08:49 Koopa troopa. Yeah, koopa troopa. What about you, man? What about you, man? What about me, man? Good week. I just sent a video off to Trey this morning that I'm excited about. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:00 I think it'll do well. And two, I think it's the video that i've contributed the most jokes to in a long time okay trade came up with the premise it's called day one verse day 50 of quarantine okay but the day we were writing it i just had chipotle oh yeah it was on a juice cleanse and so i think i just i overpowered him you know i had way more calories flowing and so um yeah he was on a juice cleanse i feel like that that goes against so much of his like like i feel like he makes fun of people that go on juice oh absolutely and that's why he's so good at making fun of people because he's done it all he's got it all he has the posture corrector already in his home we don't need to grab that to make fun of someone yeah so he gets it okay so yeah you you nailed the jokes on there yeah it
Starting point is 00:09:38 went so fast it's everything i thought it was just like yeah that's good yeah that's good that's good so hopefully this video does well or else i'd'd be like, Hey, Jake, maybe take a step back. Maybe I need to be doing more of this. Uh, so yeah, no, it's fun. And obviously Trey's the one performing in it, but I wrote a lot of it. So, so, so give us a, uh, what's it called behind the, take us behind the curtain a little bit here and tell us a little bit about like the process of making a video with Trey. Like, I know you've kind of talked about it before, but like, from what I understand, you don't, you don't write the jokes the same day that you make the video usually, correct? Not, you know, like maybe 20% of the jokes are thought of on the fly, but yeah, for the most part written beforehand. Okay. So we might
Starting point is 00:10:16 have one like tomorrow we'll probably meet up and it'll be all about like ideas. So we'll just talk about different ideas we have. Um, Oh, that's something here. Yeah. So this about like ideas. So we'll just talk about different ideas we have. Oh, that's something here. Yeah. So this is a process. So probably a month ago, I had an idea to do Love is Blind parody with quarantine because you can't see people anyway. So kind of like the live stream I did last week. But I had an idea to do like a sketch that way. So Trey was like, I like this idea.
Starting point is 00:10:40 Let's just Google it and make sure no one else has done that yet. Saturday Night Live had done it the week before. So I was like, well, shoot, now we can't do it. Okay. But cool that I had the same idea Saturday Night Live did. And then last week, I had an idea to do the stages of TikTok kind of like, you know, six months ago, like, what is this app? Everyone's so young. And then like quarantine hits, you're like, you know what, I'm gonna, I'm gonna download it. And then by the end, it's like, let's see what the hype house is up to like let's you know charlie d'amelio is a boss anyway that same day i had that idea there's a creator out there kind of like trey does a lot of midwestern type stuff he had like the school of ope his name is
Starting point is 00:11:16 you betcha do you know oh yeah yeah yeah i like him yeah he's great yeah anyway that same day that i had that idea he posts the five stages of tiktok like great now we can't do this okay and then last week i texted you about this we're or two weeks ago uh i came over with that a bit or whatever on our podcast about the bachelor meets shark tank and then the guy that i subscribed to on youtube steve emerson he's really funny comes out with it's a pretty similar concept and executed a great it's pretty funny video yeah so i'm on a roll of just thinking of videos that are going viral but for other people you just gotta think of them like like think of things a little bit sooner that's pretty much the answer or just or just act on them right away as soon as you have the idea yeah just make it happen yeah but to answer your question quicker than that
Starting point is 00:11:58 basically it the hardest part is coming up with the concept right like thinking of a video idea takes a while sometimes but then once you do you know you have a good idea and then you act on it and we can write a video in an hour and shoot it in an hour yeah so it goes pretty fast but it's the brainstorming process that takes a while right that makes sense yeah thanks dude thanks for thanks for asking me about that you're hey man oh another thing about uh not really stolen ideas because they're not stealing it from me but similar ideas the two ago, talked about ice cream truck, or maybe it was episode 50. You know, wanted to do custom ice cream sandwiches. And I said, I'm going to smoosh them together.
Starting point is 00:12:34 Girl named Malia listened to the podcast. Text me two days ago. Imsword? Yes, you know her. I know her from the podcast comments and stuff. I don't know her very well, but yeah. You might have met her too. She came to Kansas City.
Starting point is 00:12:44 Oh boy, now I feel bad if I've met her. No, it would have been, she came to Kansas City around Halloween, like four years ago. We dressed up as Trader Joe's, her and her friend, Jordan, another girl from camp, dressed as average Joe's. I wore a Kevin Durant Jersey. We were Trader Joe's. Oh, I, you might not have met him. You might've met him in town. I definitely did not. I know every single person I've ever met. I'm just saying they were there on 79th street with Crenshaw. Anyway, she is saying, I listed episode 50. We have a place in Houston.
Starting point is 00:13:13 It's a food truck that sells custom ice cream sandwiches called smoosh. That was the verb I used. Everything I'm saying is happening. And then I'm remembering this too. I don't have any of this written down. This is all just coming to me right now. I got an email yesterday from a podcast listener that says, Hey, heard about your, your weed truck idea. And he sends me a picture, saw one the other day.
Starting point is 00:13:31 And I forget where he lives, New York city or something. Hey, imitation is a sincerest form of flattery. So just, you know, you have great ideas. Just Houston's not Kansas city. Close to Kansas city. You can do it. Just that crazy with the smoosh, though. Yeah. So I texted her. Like the same word. Yeah, same word. And you don't even say it. Like no one ever actually says smoosh.
Starting point is 00:13:49 Smoosh. No one says smoosh. Or if anything, yeah, they're watching Holes and they're saying sploosh, peaches and onions. My gosh, yeah. Good movie. Good movie. Great movie. So I texted Malia and I was like, hey, this doesn't mean we can't do it. I said, here's the plan.
Starting point is 00:14:02 I said, you go work for smoosh. Learn their secrets. Move to Kansas City.'s the plan. I said, you go work for Smooch, learn their secrets, move to Kansas City, marry me, slight, you know, just detour. Shoot your shot. And then we start our own Smooch. She did not reply. And you're like, hey, hey, just kissing. And then it's recorrected to just kidding. You're like, dang it. Dang it.
Starting point is 00:14:22 You want to hang out? We get married, a little kissing is your autocrat a little kidding and then she doesn't believe me anymore i don't want a little kid with you not yet a little kid already maybe start our business a little kidding like yeah a little kidding is such sounds like the act of you know becoming a parent conceiving yeah just a little kidding you know a little this a little that little kidding how was your honeymoon it was good you know the beaches were great they love the food there was a little kidding. How was your honeymoon? It was good. You know, the beaches are great. They love the food. There was a little kidding in there, of course. We're still learning how to kid, but oh goodness. Yeah. Premarital counseling helped with kidding.
Starting point is 00:14:52 I'll say that. It took the nerves away. Thank goodness for that book. Sheet music. I've heard of that book. Oh yeah. You will. You will know it. I'll give it to you when you become engaged. Don't worry. Mom, if you're listening, I love you. Thanks for the book. I'm just kidding. She did not send me that book. Oh, man. Family heirloom.
Starting point is 00:15:11 She means it. Why is this page a little bit... Never mind. Gross. Gross. Oh, goodness. You had to bring your mom into it. Well, mama.
Starting point is 00:15:21 Speaking of excretion, Kathy McDonald peed herself this week listening to our podcast I haven't even texted her about this dude I feel so bad you want to read the text? you want me to find it? you can try to find it I'll explain what I heard first hand
Starting point is 00:15:39 this is a friend of ours she's over at my house this week mother of Isaac. Yes. Did I give something away there? No, it's fine. Yeah, she comes over to drop off something for Isaac,
Starting point is 00:15:53 and she's talking to me about the podcast. I've just loved it so much. You guys have been listening on my walks, and I don't know how much you guys know about having four kids, but there are times when I just have to stop, and I just can't listen to it anymore because I just, you know, when you, when you have four kids, it just, you, it just, you can't control things. And so I'm like, Isaac and I both do not know how to respond. Or it's like, Oh man, it has to be a little weird for Isaac, but I'm just like,
Starting point is 00:16:20 that's awesome. I'm glad you like it so much. And then she sends Brad and I like a follow-up text like 30 minutes later. Yeah. I can't find it for some reason. I'm glad you like it so much. And then she sends Brad and I like a follow-up text like 30 minutes later. Yeah, I can't find it for some reason. I'm having a hard time. But basically, said the same thing. And just, yeah, had to stop. It was whenever she was talking about, or we were talking about your most embarrassing moment. And I said something like, don't look down.
Starting point is 00:16:38 Oh, yeah. Oh, I found it. Okay. It was when I had to walk through my boxers. Yeah, the podcast that made me have to stop walking to cross my legs for fear of completely losing my bladder was when Jake got locked out of the school gym in his undies. Thank you for using that word. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:16:52 And the volleyball team was out for something, was out or something, and Brad says, just don't look at them. Anyway, something like that. I lost it, literally. Your podcast is dangerous for women of my age. So maybe we should put a disclaimer on there of like, hey, I think Kathy's probably 45, conservatively. Maybe even younger.
Starting point is 00:17:12 Probably, I would say 42. Yeah. When I uploaded the YouTube video, it asked if I needed to age restrict it for 18 and up. Did you? Maybe I need to age restrict it for like 45 and over. Can you imagine? You need to sign in and prove your age,
Starting point is 00:17:25 or else we can't let you listen to this mobily. Yeah, where are you watching this, huh? Yeah, it's got to be desktop. You've got to have Dypes or something nearby. Yeah, she needs to take a page out of Hattie's playbook and just have a potty chair right there next to her, just in case something happens. In case the magma chamber blows.
Starting point is 00:17:43 Be careful. Magma chamber is a great like magma chamber is so uh uh what's the word which is like insinuates so much like it just sounds so like suggestive oh my gosh i had taco bell two nights ago my magma chamber is still on fire it is ready to explode oh boy yeah katherine had her baby, and it was great. You should have seen the floor after she got done. Oh, boy. Yeah. Looked like a full-blown magma chamber down there.
Starting point is 00:18:12 Let me tell you. Yeah, yeah. Goodness. Yeah, those chickens that got killed by that weasel, man, I opened it up, and it was like full-blown magma chamber in there. Yeah, I bet. My gosh. Brad, I could use your advice on something.
Starting point is 00:18:25 Okay. Sorry, you can take a gosh. Brad, I could use your advice on something. Okay. Sorry, you can take a drink. I'll explain. Basically, I noticed something, and it was even validated unprovoked by one of our friends. I won't put him on blast because he's a married man. What does it rhyme with? Doesn't matter.
Starting point is 00:18:41 There are an overwhelming amount of cute girls shopping at Target. Shopping by themselves. Okay. I would like to talk to them. Two issues. One, never been the type to approach a girl in public. In fact, don't know if I've ever done it to a stranger. Two, we're in a pandemic.
Starting point is 00:18:59 Can't really get that close to them. And what if I have a mask on? They can't even see my face. Okay, sure. And you are wearing a mask almost everywhere you go. Oh, all the time. What color is it? It's the baby blue.
Starting point is 00:19:12 Carolina blue. Yeah, Surgeon's General. Oh, yeah. You have the N95? Yes. People need those in hospitals, Jake. How dare you? That was one of our day one versus day 50 jokes.
Starting point is 00:19:22 Really? Day one is like, why are you wearing the mask? Nurses need those. They said they don't even work. And then day 50 is like, I'm going out. We have to wear these, idiot. They told us to, you know, because it is so funny how like, pretty quick. So your question is what?
Starting point is 00:19:39 Just how do I do it? First, give me non-serious advice, and then we'll go into serious advice. So first, just whatever you got. How do you approach a girl in Target during a pandemic? So the clear pun with Target is Cupid and his arrow. Bullseye. Yeah. You just go to the kids section, buy yourself a kid's bow and arrow, and be very obvious.
Starting point is 00:19:59 Be like six feet away from them. Don't be super far away. Or maybe you do. Maybe you're going across, you know, like Lord of the Rings style where they light up the arrow and shoot it into the tower. Legolas? Yes. I haven't seen the movies, but I know that he's an archer.
Starting point is 00:20:15 Right. He's big into the Lego movies. Is that movie you're talking about? Legolas? Yeah, I think so. Spanish for Lego man. But then he loses him. He's Legolas.
Starting point is 00:20:23 He's Legolas now. And then he doesn't have, yeah, and then he gets amputated. He's really Legolas. He's super Leg loses him He's Legolas He's Legolas now And then he doesn't have Yeah and then he gets amputated He's really Legolas He's super Legolas He's Legolas and Legolas And so anyway So he's this A disabled archer
Starting point is 00:20:31 Yes With no Legos Okay yeah And he shoots from across the store And this girl's gonna be Noticing those arrows flying She's gonna be like What are these arrows?
Starting point is 00:20:41 The 300 movie The Battle of Estel and Ico And all those arrows Like dark in the sky Like that Exactly like that. Exactly like that because I've seen that movie too. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:48 My parents let me see that when I was in high school. Let me tell you. Here you go this. When you finish this, here's sheet music. Yeah. They didn't say that was too inappropriate for me to see by any means. So I've definitely seen 300. I'm really cool.
Starting point is 00:20:59 Okay. But anyway, so you're shooting all these arrows and then finally one just nails her right in the magma chamber. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. And you say, you go there, you say you come up to her and it's like a long walk from you to this girl and you finally walk up to her and you just look at her and you go bullseye. And then, and then you just give her the two finger come with me and just see what happens
Starting point is 00:21:26 and just don't turn around, just hope she comes with you and then I think I know what happens next turns out she's a huge Toy Story 2 fan as I gesture, I turn around she jumps on my back and says ride like the wind bullseye and then I just run off with her
Starting point is 00:21:41 she's mine now I'm going to refrain from a joke about Toy Story. Anyway, but then you go to the counter with her to buy her thing. And you say, I figured I could buy this for you since I was going to check you out. That thing. That was good. That's what I was going to say, too. So you got the Target pun.
Starting point is 00:22:02 I figured we deserve self-checkout because that's what I've been doing to you all day yes perfect yeah perfect that that's that's my funny answer hope it was funny for you guys that's good uh i like the bullseye okay now let's say there's actually a girl let's say we're already in the same aisle we're both picking out cereal and i'm like dang that's a that's a magma chamber i'd like to get near what would i how should i approach? Like, were you ever the type to, like, genuinely, were you ever the type to, like, approach a girl in any public scenario? Because I've just never been that,
Starting point is 00:22:33 so I don't even know if there's a right way of doing it. I don't think I've ever approached a girl, like, truly with the intention of, like, I hope I get this girl's number. Like, I don't think I ever did that. I was perfectly comfortable flirting with girls in public and, like to them but never like closing the deal just like that was a fun interaction exactly like okay okay you're the guy to talk to then really i mean well hey i'll worry about the closing okay you get me started no i think you could absolutely have an easy conversation with her where you either and this is going to sound like so like you're a player
Starting point is 00:23:03 but or whatever but like you either have like an intentional clumsy situation where you're gonna have to like excuse me i spill the box of life make a funny joke ah is it is it that uh these are the days of our lives only sorry sorry i couldn't really see very well i was just like my eyes were all blurry. But I guess what they say is this is the days of our life. Okay, forget the Vox Alive. All right, go back to what you were saying. Just somehow like you're just joking. You just have to have something to break the ice, whatever it is. Right now they have one-way aisles.
Starting point is 00:23:37 And so you accidentally go the wrong way on a one-way aisle and you're like, oh my gosh, I'm so sorry. These days it's just crazy, you know, like having these struggles on the one way i totally yeah i'm the same way oh yeah exactly um you know i was just trying to go right there do you mind if i go and get that oh sure yeah and then you ask about that like have you ever had gardenos and she goes yeah but i'm more of a cheez-its person and you can say that'll be our little secret sweetheart don. Don't worry about it, sweetheart. And then I say, hey, bullseye.
Starting point is 00:24:10 Yeah. And then you'll be Jesse's girl because Jesse was the bullseye person. That doesn't make sense. 80s song, though. Rick Springfield. Yeah. Which I didn't know that he had more than one hit. I thought being Rickrolled was because he had only one. Remember Rickrolled? Yeah, yeah. And so rolled was like because he had only one you don't remember rick rolled like uh yeah yeah never gonna give you up and so i was like oh rick
Starting point is 00:24:28 springfield that's his one song but he's got multiple out there at least two that we know of i think he's got another one because i was playing sporkle the other day and there was a question about him good for you man yeah big sporkle guy okay well everyone i will report back i don't know if i'll have to do groceries this week or not. And I definitely don't prefer to get my groceries at Target. Dude, it's so interesting how girls have latched on, and maybe not just girls, but girls is what I'm thinking of, at least have latched on to how great Target is. Chrissy Teigen, man. Is that what it is? Joanna Gaines also has a line there. Chip and Jojo. It's just like, why is Target so much better than Walmart? It's like just a stigma thing. Like Target has done such a good job of branding themselves as like Just a little bit higher end, but I don't really know what it is about. Especially their groceries like their groceries are
Starting point is 00:25:13 Non-existent basically. I mean they have fine groceries But they're not nearly as big of a selection as a walmart or something like that yet people will shop there and I just It truly is like a great branding move by them but anyway yeah i think it's fascinating i was only in target for something i'll get to later my life hack of the week well should we just do blanks of the week blanks of the week at the beginning of the episode sure i mean why not i don't have that much else to talk about sure blank of the week life hack uh turns out you can just say you're returning something while it's in your cart and just walk out of the store with it tell me more i so this happened three weeks
Starting point is 00:25:52 ago and i remembered it this week because i finally returned a set of headphones that you were last week i went to return those three weeks ago target said because of covid we are not accepting returns because i guess your hands have been on it whatever okay i was like okay but while i'm at target so i have this box of headphones i'm like well i still need other stuff from target i was planning on dropping this off into shopping so like i guess i'll just have this in my cart i do my shopping i get to the checkout aisle i don't want to do self checkout because like that would be sketchy if i'm just like don't ring up this one thing yeah so go to the actual checkout aisle and i say all right here's what i'm getting and this set of headphones i was planning on returning but they won't let me and he says all right so i
Starting point is 00:26:29 just walk out of the store with him i easily could have just like grabbed those off the shelf how does that work uh barcode wise do you know like uh like because i know obviously they have like that scanner thing when you walk out of the doors right they have rfid chips to scan inventory but i don't think it's for doesn't work with that. Yeah. Because I know that they can obviously always scan your barcode, but I didn't know if like is literally every single product, a different barcode, or is it like, oh, that is headphones. And that, that box right next to it has the exact same barcode of headphones. You know what I mean? Cause if it's like, if it's like, oh, they know that it's going to get picked
Starting point is 00:27:02 up if you really are stealing that because it's already been scanned once. Or is it like, yeah, we'll just trust this guy. I think they trusted me. That's crazy. So Lifehack, if you're looking to steal some things, just have it in your cart and say, I was planning on returning this. Wow. And they're like, all right. And that's like a nice thing that you bought.
Starting point is 00:27:19 It wasn't like a $5 pack of gum. It wasn't a bushel of bananas. Right. It was more than that. It was a bushel of headphones. Yeah, a bushel of bananas right it was more than that bushel of headphone yeah a bushel of phones so interesting okay so that's my life hack just if you're looking to get into thievery okay it's easy at target and probably walmart too probably less you know yeah easier at walmart even um my life hack of the week is keyboard shortcuts and it's specifically the ones that you can uh program in on your
Starting point is 00:27:46 iphone and computer if you have a mac i'm sure you can do it on pc as well do you have to use caps lock or anything crazy with this my gosh no because i hope not i had that thought multiple times this week when i was trying to do the caps lock i was like this is this is insane i can't believe this is a thing like like it's just like awarding like people for being inaccurate on your computers yes like come on um no this is just keyboard shortcuts so for instance for my business there's a lot of times where i'll get somebody that sends me a message saying or they'll send me their contact information say please follow up with me and so i had this specific um text message it's probably you know whatever 100 words long pretty long lengthy message with some information
Starting point is 00:28:26 but all I have to do is put in the keyboard shortcut Z and then intro that's why I always do Z just to make sure I'm not actually typing in on accident Z intro and it types out this whole thing for me and then I just press enter and it just goes it sends the text right there
Starting point is 00:28:42 and so you can do that for anything like I do that for my email address my certain websites that are like certain URLs that I want and it just goes. It sends the text right there. And so you can do that for anything. Like I do that for my email address, my certain websites that are like certain URLs that I want. And it's just wonderful. And so, and you can also do it for auto-correct things. Like, man, I keep wanting to say kissing to this girl and it just keeps saying kidding. I'm going to change that thing.
Starting point is 00:28:58 So every time I put in kidding, it changes to kissing. Maybe somebody's doing that on your, on your. Oh, they got me. Simple macro. So anyway, that's my life hack of the Oh, they got me simple macro. So anyway, that's my life hack of the week. I might've already talked about that once, but I'm passionate about enough that I'm going to talk about it again.
Starting point is 00:29:11 That's okay. We got new listeners. Yeah. It's 53. Come on, give us some grace. We're allowed to repeat. Uh,
Starting point is 00:29:16 our second blank of the week is quote of the week. This is one. Maybe I should have Isaac come down here with me cause he was a part of it. And it was so awesome. And I know that we give fast food workers our time on here quite a bit. But whatever. They just keep it coming. And it's always something new every time.
Starting point is 00:29:34 This time I'm at Sonic. This is post pickleball. Almost every time, Isaac and I always get McDonald's. Dollar drinks. You know, of course. Yeah. But I was like, I'm tired of the sweet tea. I want something different.

I'm like, no, no. I make custom furniture, not like adjacent to what you asked for furniture.
Starting point is 00:31:33 And I asked him, I was like, why are you, like, is it cheaper? Like, why are you saying that? Oh, just availability. And I'm like, okay, well, I mean, if it's not available, I can talk to my client, but it's going to be three days. I specifically asked for hickory.

But I couldn't think of any quotes, so I thought, hey, just take it back to the time ball take it back now y'all this is my this is my second option for a story last week that i didn't end up doing okay because of the big black crackle of course um and so i'm a big
Starting point is 00:33:54 fan of this band called mute math ever heard of them yes okay mute math big fan they sing uh star spangled banner they do uh they're not well yeah they do but they're not known for that okay they're um oh what are their big ones love me do um yellow submarine is it too late now to say sorry uh i've heard of some of those okay yeah i think i know who you're talking about so anyway mute math big fans and they performed a concert in Kansas City. And then the next weekend they were going to perform in St. Louis. And so I was like, I'm going to both these concerts. And so I even bought this one pass for the first one that got me really early admittance or whatever.
Starting point is 00:34:39 And so I was like one of the front rows, like third row or whatever, just like hanging out with this guy. And I was like, I want to say something to this guy that's gonna help him remember me so that when i'm there in st louis he'll he'll like same guy that guy yeah hey it's that guy you know and so i'm like okay uh and so i just decided my word for the for the whole the whole concert experience is going to be snazzy okay just like every single every single song at the end of it i just hot dog that was snazzy hot dog yeah and so at the end of every song people would be clapping like that be snazzy. Okay? Just like every single song at the end of it. Hot dog, that was snazzy. Oh, hot dog. Yeah. And so at the end of every song,
Starting point is 00:35:08 people would be clapping, like, that was snazzy. That was snazzy. Snazzy, baby. Snazzy. And so anyway, so I was like, you know, saying that, saying that.
Starting point is 00:35:17 And then like, I'm sure he was just getting annoyed. He's like, I got to acknowledge this guy. So he stopped saying snazzy. But he, in between one of his songs, and he's got like this super cool voice anyway, even when he just talks and he just goes, thank you for the schnazzy comments.
Starting point is 00:35:30 And I was like, yes! It was awesome. So that's my quote of the week is thank you for the schnazzy comments. And so then the next week, I swear in St. Louis when I would yell schnazzy, they looked at, like the whole band recognized me at some point and was like, yeah, hey, dude, you're the schnazzy. I like, they looked at like the whole band, like recognized me at some point was like, you know? So anyway, it was, it was a good time with the snazzy comments. So snazzy. Yeah. That's awesome, dude. Yeah. Thanks. Our third blank. I believe we talked about poultry. Is that what we said? Yeah. Cause I don't remember mine. So you go and I'll try to remember what
Starting point is 00:36:00 mine was. Okay. Mine is a very, this, this could this could be like a uh one of the march madness things just a very very vague poultry uh but something i've just decided i really don't like the ground i don't like the ground like i don't like falling on the ground tell me more i'll tell you what if a table falls on you you do not want to be on the ground start appreciating the air a little more yes i i just do not enjoy being close to the ground, being down on the ground. I hate bending over. I'm not a lazy person. I don't view myself as a lazy person. I will, I will carry boxes for days. You know, like if you need help moving, I'll carry boxes for you, but please don't make me lift them from the ground. Like, like I'll, I'll lift the books, the heavy books from, from, you know, something that's kind of
Starting point is 00:36:44 high up rather than like picking up the pillows from the ground the heavy books from from you know something that's kind of high up rather than like picking up the the pillows from the ground i hate i hate lifting things from the ground uh you know in the shop sometimes i'll like have to get underneath my table saw to like adjust some setting or something i hate having to crawl on the ground every once in a while hattie will pee and i'll have to wipe it up. I hate wiping urine off the ground. Uh, so just, just poultry in general, just the ground, just the ground. Okay. Just don't like it. I have no clue how to add onto that. I've never once thought about having a vengeance. It gets the ground. I hate picking things up, dude. That's like my, yeah. And that's because of the ground. If the
Starting point is 00:37:23 ground were higher up, maybe, maybe my height plus the ground don't like it Hmm like when I have to go get the pickleball after you know, and it flies past me I'll be like, you know, I don't mind running there, but I hate bending over to get that But I do notice when like other people's pickleball will get under our court. You just kind of like Pat it back to him Oh, yeah, I never pick it up. Never pick it up yeah i've been down to get the paddle and just yeah scoop up like they'll pick it up yeah they'll they can get down on the ground it's their ball i guess i don't i hate the ground that much it's um i've been electrocuted twice and i've been grounded both times and so it saved me there okay so the ground's been on my side that's that's okay you're right redeemed ground sometimes just in that unique scenario sometimes it's good but most of the time i'm like i'd rather i'd rather be on a bed you know yeah
Starting point is 00:38:09 beds are nice yes have ever talked about the podcast when i've been electrocuted not that i've heard of tell me we don't have to i mean the stories aren't anything that crazy the first time was in honduras that's not where you want to be electrocuted or maybe it is maybe it is okay listen up tell me baby uh how they heat up the waters the waters what am i honduran the way they heat up the water so i listen here you heat up the waters it's very simple the way they heat up the water at least in the shower that i was in in honduras was basically the water comes up completely out of the spigot out of the ground wherever it's cold the whole time and then right before it comes out of the spout out of the shower head there was like a hot water heater right there this seems like a terrible
Starting point is 00:38:53 idea it seems like i'm in a third world country or something almost so basically for that to happen there is a live wire that runs in the shower who knew what not me so uh for one drainage is not great in Honduras. So there's, you know, down one vote if it was around the horn. So I'm in standing water. Good sound. I'm in standing water in the shower. And I decide, I wonder if it could go up a little higher.
Starting point is 00:39:16 You know, I want to adjust the shower head. Oh, the head. Yeah. So I reach around the back to adjust the shower head. And there I go. While you're in water standing water so the benefit plus two or three or eight ten votes is that the electrical current is not strong enough in Honduras to really do that much damage to you oh my gosh I mean but it could have been
Starting point is 00:39:38 in America you're done yes more than likely my gosh that is yeah okay I'm in standing water and yeah just touch that little guy and yeah just i i stand up pretty straight get lit up like a christmas tree and everyone else is asleep i couldn't even tell anyone i got electrocuted i had to tell when i woke up the next morning you have like three teeth left like guys crazy story do you know how to hit up the water do you know how to hit up the water my magnet chamber my god uh that's wild fried fried my chamber oh wow okay that's that's nuts dude so that was the first time i was electrocuted save the second one for a rainy day okay keep them keep them waiting yes my poultry i couldn't
Starting point is 00:40:18 ever remember but i thought of a new one while you were talking my poultry is with tiktok trey and i were having this conversation. TikTok used to be Musical.ly. And back then it was a lot of lip sync based, audio driven videos. And what you could do is like replay someone's sound. Someone did it to you. They redid your sound.
Starting point is 00:40:38 I don't know how to verbalize it. And so I think because that's where TikTok came from, it's still a part of TikTok now, which could be fun. However, it yields this brand of joke stealing. I don't know how many times Trey and I talk about all the time. You'll see something funny and you're like, oh, what other kind of stuff do they post? And you realize, oh, they only lip sync other people's jokes.
Starting point is 00:40:57 Yeah, they're just doing the trendy things. Like they're just, yeah, they're saying someone else's- Interior crocodile alligator. You heard that one? Yeah, I've heard that one. So it's just frustrating that I feel like there's... Maybe this is a little extreme, but this entire next generation is going to become very numb
Starting point is 00:41:13 and very used to just like, oh, if they say something funny, I could just say it. And it's my version of it now. It's mine. Oh, it's deep. And it's not. Especially when it's like comedy or any kind of art form. You can't just do it exactly the same and be like, well, it was on my camera. But it's not especially when it's like comedy or any kind of art form you can't just do it exactly the same and be like well it was on my camera it's my face doing yeah but i my lips
Starting point is 00:41:30 moved while you were doing it oh yeah i mean once oh i don't get on tiktok once a day but once once a talk once every tiktok i'm on there i will see multiple videos of people just lip-syncing other people's jokes yeah and even though it hasn't happened to me it's just like this is not good for comedy in general i think that almost every single time I'm ever scrolling through TikTok, like it's almost like understood now, like, oh, that's not even, that's not even them talking. That's not their joke. Like, like, no, not even like not their joke, but like, I don't ever even assume that it's that person saying the word. Yeah. Is that crazy? It's like a weird thing. Like, I think I'm done with TikTok. And you're 29. Yeah. So think about these 14 year
Starting point is 00:42:04 old kids who are on TikTok four hours a day day they're getting so used to this not being their content or just stealing other people's content yeah i think it's gonna be bad news for the future interesting that's deep so that's my poultry that is just the future the you're pulled by the future so you're getting old if you if you have feelings like that like these kids these days they don't get it yeah i need to calm down let me get that so as a podcast our poultry oh is with the ground and the future yes pretty big things wow do you want to you want a hit of that that's pretty good you want to i have a hat on right now okay i'll get one you forget how good the uh the metal head scratcher is copper baby that's nice it's live wire that's live wire okay let's do our review of the week.
Starting point is 00:42:46 Can't leave that out of blanks of the week. My review of the week is going to be, uh-oh, actually a YouTube comment of the week. We just launched our first video this morning and have already got a bunch of comments. And when I say a bunch, I mean nine or ten. Hey, that's a bunch for us. But pretty cool for our first video ever. We got to 100 subscribers, which means we can now have a custom URL. So check us out.
Starting point is 00:43:08 Yes. YouTube.com backslash Ghost Runners Podcast. Yes. And my comment slash review of the week, which leave us a five-star review if you've never been reviewed the week, said, You guys really do create a cool community. I have a real-life friend from Kansas City, and when I met her, I almost said, oh, I have some friends in Kansas City, and then realized, actually, in fact, I don't know Jake and Brad. I just feel like I do.
Starting point is 00:43:34 I think that is so cool and one of the more fun pieces of affirmation I've ever received. That's awesome. I think that's so great. That means we're doing something right. It is fun. Whenever they say that, I'm like, have that friend contact us i like friends we're pretty approachable yeah i'll be your friend i'm a nice guy you want to meet up at target yeah bullseye that's great hey that was very that was a very nice comment oh hey Oh, hey.

Starting point is 00:44:18 God's magic? Yeah. Oh, of course. Okay. We talked about that for multiple episodes afterwards. We did. Okay. God, just use your magic.
Starting point is 00:44:24 Okay. Because they said no magic from God, a sign and i was like did i talk about this oh yeah uh yeah it was very funny that's always a crazy thought to me is like these people know what we talk about probably more than we do some of them just like we know the office more than rain wilson does right like the people that say they've listened to our podcast four or five times each they definitely know like i can just know what in the pacific northwest yes i know a guy yeah i know a guy um so anyway they said i woke up with the ghost runners podcast jingle stuck in my head let's go probably the one that we played today and so i took that as a sign to write you guys a five-star review no accidental four stars for me and i give it six plus if i could plus you see that six plus maybe someday
Starting point is 00:45:04 i'll work up the nerve to leave a voice memo. Please do. But for now, I'll stick with the review. And then he said very nice things about us continually. So anyway, love the pod. You guys keep doing what you're doing and I'll keep listening.

Bye-bye like that's such a simple thing that people have been saying for a long time but then thanks to mr steeze dude he says it that everyone's like oh that's good bye-bye bye-bye

Mr. Steeze goes to walmart buys a loaf of bread and some peanut butter and makes himself peanut butter sandwiches it just goes ham on this loaf of bread in his own car by himself really yeah that's a steve triplet move is it there yeah it really is i'm somewhere in the middle i never wanted to go out to eat necessarily i wanted a dr pepper yeah on a night out from camp i wanted that soda i wanted the free refill because i wasn't sneaking out as much as the brands and camps were oh no we never did that is that more of a k1 thing yes dude freaking i don't want to get into k1 yeah yeah yeah anyway yeah i was always like can we just

Been off the grid, and I just got back. And what I really wanted to find out from you guys is on a sports team,
Starting point is 00:47:36 it could be really any sport, would you rather be an amazing player, the best player on a crappy team, or would you rather be on the bench for an incredible team that maybe wins a championship? All right. Bye-bye. There it is. Great question. Mr. C's. Let me also say real quick, he joked about being off the grid, but he's one of like the most passionate people I've ever heard, uh media and how that is ruining the culture of our world. And so he literally may have been off the grid. So I don't know. I haven't heard specifically.
Starting point is 00:48:12 Well, Steve, welcome back to the grid, baby. Welcome back, baby. That's a great question. It's a really good question. Do you have an answer? I think I do if you want to think. Yeah. This is kind of a scenario that happened to me
Starting point is 00:48:25 back in the day in high school. I thought I was a, you know, above average athlete. Uh, and especially in baseball, baseball is my best sport, but especially for like a two way little Stratford farm school, we had so many athletes, just, uh, incredible athletes. I know at one time we were ranked second in the state in basketball and baseball at the same time, which is unheard of for a public school for the most part, you know, just to randomly have all these athletes and for the most part, the same age. So my choice would be being a bench player on a good team, just because I think no matter how good you're, you are, your personal successes, if you're losing, it just, it can never be that fun. And when you're winning as a team, just like the morale as
Starting point is 00:49:05 a whole yeah it's so much fun and so much of my high school experience was winning i don't think we lost a home basketball game like junior or senior year and so with winning comes it's like okay now the coach doesn't care as much what you do and so that leads to us buying uh booties in motion volume two from a thrift store and playing that before every game. And our coach didn't care. It was awesome. Is that like a, Oh, just,
Starting point is 00:49:27 just found it. No, just, I have no clue what it is. Just found it in a thrift store. Booties in motion, volume two. Oh,
Starting point is 00:49:33 it's a, it's, it's just music. Yeah. It was just a CD we found. And it was just, uh, the number one song,
Starting point is 00:49:39 like the track number one was, uh, give me a ringling when you want that ding-a-ling. And I was going to be bootylicious, man. Anyway, what am I saying? I'm off topic. Basically, my junior year of high school baseball, I was looking around at every other team in the conference.
Starting point is 00:49:54 If I played for any one of these teams, I would be the shortstop batting leadoff. And I am fighting just to get in the infield. I may not even start or even play much. So that was tough and hard, but at the same time, that's still what I would prefer rather than being amazing on a team that's going to go 3-20. Okay, so that makes sense.
Starting point is 00:50:12 My initial thought was that I was playing on a professional team as a mediocre player. Oh, no, you take it that way. So when I thought that way, I was like, well, I've had a lot of success leading up to this, and so I'm okay being a decent slash maybe a below average player on a professional team. You won the Mountain West, you know, in college. You guys were great.
Starting point is 00:50:32 Yeah, I'm a KU basketball fan. Nick Collison was amazing at KU and then was just very mediocre in the NBA. Was mediocre for a long time. Looked like Jim Halpert, though. Looked like Jim Halpert. He had a great Halloween costume as Walter White one time. Oh really? Yeah. Really good costume guy. But anyway, very mediocre NBA career. But I think about it as like, well, you know, he had a lot of success before that. And so I was like,
Starting point is 00:50:56 I'd be okay being Nick Collison. But then again, it's like, yeah, I'd be okay being one of the best players ever at one of the most like historic basketball programs in like college basketball ever you know and so and then when you said all that i was like oh yeah you're right like that makes more sense i went to a school high school way different than you my graduating class was like 550 you know so it's big and so because of that i didn't make the basketball team because there was no chance for somebody like me even if i was skilled enough which i don't know if i truly was or not but i wasn't fast enough i wasn't know, big enough to be a big man, you know, in high school. And so it was like, there's no place for me on this team, you know? And so
Starting point is 00:51:33 I was like, well, I'd rather be on a worse team that I could actually play on, you know, that I could be good on. But then again, I think about it. I'm like, well, but then in football, we were really good at football and I I wasn't the star player by any means, and it was really fun. So after all that, I think I would rather be a mediocre player just in general all the time, no matter what level it is. I agree with you and Steez probably. Thanks, Steez, for the great question.
Starting point is 00:51:58 And welcome back to the grid. Hope it serves you well. All right, next voicemail from Peyton. Hey, Brad and Jakeake this is peyton from dallas that's the girl i followed the lucky girl that got a follow from ghostrunners podcast on instagram um but unfortunately quickly after got the unfollow um but that's totally fine i understand i'm a longtime listener um and after a few episodes in i realized that i've actually met brad like five years ago his
Starting point is 00:52:25 sister-in-law and i stayed with him and katherine to surprise someone we knew working at canicuck um so this was like pre-hattie and literally days after brad had quit his job to start woodworking full-time so yeah probably one of the most random connections i've ever made um now that this is a visual podcast thanks to youtube my question for you is if you had to do a dance that has never been done in the history of mankind, what kind of dance would you do? So, yeah, stand up and show us your moves. Anyways, I love the podcast.
Starting point is 00:52:54 I think y'all are great. I hope you're hilarious. Don't hesitate to follow me on Instagram again. Have a good one, guys. Bye. That's a great question. A dance move that's never been done before. All right. I'm going to pull up some music music brad what do you want your song to be i'll get it loaded i want my song to be
Starting point is 00:53:14 i'll get both of our songs ready um oh i don't know man probably well i'm trying to think of an appropriate song. Do you go instrumental? Joyful Noise by Flame, please. You're just going to say Joy to the World. America is Beautiful. You would like Joyful Noise to dance to? It's so slow.
Starting point is 00:53:38 I don't think you want that song to dance to. Go Buck by Flame, please. My Christian rap just goes real deep. It started and stopped with Kanika. Okay, I'm getting your song ready. You don't have to dance yet. I'm just getting it ready. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:53:52 There's the preview. I don't think they're ready. Oh, oh, oh. I don't think they're ready. Oh. I'm just going to go instrumental of a song because it's pretty inappropriate. We're really going to dance. This is great.
Starting point is 00:54:06 Thank you, Peyton. Oh, this is the – yeah, absolutely. We're on YouTube now. I mean, I don't think we danced very long. We have to answer our question. Like one and a half minutes or what are you thinking? Like how many eight counts? Like 16 eight counts?
Starting point is 00:54:18 I think we just need to show her – Just how good of dancers we are. No, no, no. Just a new – she said if you had a new move to show. What show what do you think do you want to set up your move do you know what it's going to be yet i know it's going to be inspired by one person and one person only and that person is named is caitlin triplet okay i don't know beyond that what it is okay um i i usually just move with the music so i'm just gonna which is what kt does yeah come to a wedding reception and you'll find a dozen dance moves you've never seen before if i'm there yeah but on this on this fly i don't
Starting point is 00:54:48 know what it's gonna be i i usually do pretty like a mean mug face like that's that's kind of my go-to like you know i'm cool i don't know i i never watch anybody else when i'm at when i'm dancing like no sunglasses are on eyes are closed i'm just in in the zone I just close my eyes and just, yeah, I hate getting on the ground, but I just get on the ground and just kind of just go for it. I pull up a pillow, a blanket, and I just dance. I think. Myself to sleep. Yeah, I think this is going camping, not when you're at a wedding.
Starting point is 00:55:18 Okay, I'm going to play your song. I'm going to grab that camera so you can get up and not be cut off. Okay, okay, okay. And then I guess try to dance with headphones on so you can still hear the music Alright, alright, you ready? I'm gonna put it on puppets, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, I did it! I'm sweating now. Where was like the proprietary move? The whole thing.
Starting point is 00:56:16 Copy that. If you copy that by the... I don't know. That was awesome. Was it? Yeah, I think so. I think it was good. I'd like to thank Flame for the. Was it? Yeah, I think so. I think it was good.
Starting point is 00:56:27 I'd like to thank Flame for the music. Mr. Flame, thank you. Did you know, I think it was... Mr. Flames. He sued Katy Perry over Joyful Noise. Well, she should have. She should have? No, he should have. I think it was justified.
Starting point is 00:56:39 You think so? I don't know if they won or I don't know how it went. I think they did. Oh, good for them. I'm so tired. That was a good time. Okay. Okay, so you want me to get up and record you?
Starting point is 00:56:50 Yeah, I guess so. I don't know what my dance move is going to be either. Mine's going to be... Could you hear my music at all or was I just dancing in silence? I mean, I couldn't, but they will be able to. Oh, yeah, I know. But I just didn't know how awkward it was looking to you. Oh, no, I couldn't hear a thing.
Starting point is 00:57:04 I could hear just the swish of your shirt is all I could hear. My dance move is going to be with your elbows. Shoot. Don't stop recording it. I know, I just did it on accident. No. I'm so sorry. Okay, just start it back up again.
Starting point is 00:57:24 I did. Okay. Okay, just start it back up again. I did. Whatever. I don't know what this dance move is called. I'm flustered. I'm just gonna start. Oh, you don't even know which song I'm dancing to, do you? There's shells. Can you see the knees?
Starting point is 00:57:49 That's the move. That's the move right there. The elbows. Oh, hold on. The elbows and the knees work in tandem together. Can you see it? I saw it. So here you go. And then the whole body goes forward with the knees.
Starting point is 00:58:04 It's that simple okay pretty high breath through oh i don't know what it's called it's called the um it's called big john because you you do it to little john and it's like a big move so you call it big john how's the camera looking baby perfect i i didn't really see what it was like before, but I think it looks great. I trust you. Okay. You know what looks good. You know the thing. You know the dance move.
Starting point is 00:58:31 Peyton, what a great question. That fired me up. I'm excited to do the Big John more on the dance floor. All right, next voice memo. Invite us to your wedding, and we will do our dance moves for you. The Big John and the unnamed. In our tuxedos. Sure. Ooh, Jake. Jake,named. In our tuxedos. Sure.
Starting point is 00:58:45 Ooh, Jake. Jake, you wakey, mallow bakey. You did it. She said yes. Lauren Daigle said yes to the second date. Now, turns out you did good with the not going all out on the first date. She really liked that, and now she's wanting that second date. So, obviously obviously you guys
Starting point is 00:59:05 have been hanging out for the past couple of weeks, you know, getting together, learning more about each other and meeting friends. Uh, but now that's your second official date. I was thinking you do a little something more fancy, you know, you already shown to her that you can have a good time now show her that you can be romantic too. So tell me what's your plans going on into this and my question for you brad is how many five-star reviews on apple podcast would it take for you to go skydiving once corona clears up that would be really fun to see and really fun to hear your review on that anyways thanks for all that you guys do thanks bye- Bye-bye. Okay. Bye-bye. Five-star skydiving reviews.
Starting point is 00:59:48 It's not as much about the reviews as much as it is about the money. Yeah, it's like $200. Totally. Yeah. Keep talking. I'll do it right now. No, I think I would say it's going to be 750 reviews and 750 people donating 50 cents each. I don't know how much it costs.
Starting point is 01:00:07 And then you'll go. Yeah, I'll totally go. Have you thought about it before? Just really briefly. Not super seriously, no. I think it'd be fun. I wonder if it'd be the most fun I could do for that much money, though. If that makes sense.
Starting point is 01:00:20 Like, I know you've done it. Like, how would you say it ranks as far as? value for the money Compared to like because I for that same amount of money you go to a Chiefs game you could go to the casino you could go to Whatever else I mean there's so many other things out there the dollars per seconds ratio is not great for things like skydiving or bungee Jumping right cuz yeah, that could be a three hour five hour experience at a Chiefs game potentially Well, it's even compared to bungee jumping like what what would you rather do one versus the other if i had to do one of them again i would definitely do bungee jumping okay which is
Starting point is 01:00:51 kind of surprised me because i would not have chose that beforehand like bungee jumping is just so fast and you're connected to a cord and yeah i don't know skydiving was almost too high up to even realize how high you are and you don't have a choice that was the biggest thing like you're just strapped to some other dude right and he just kind of scoots you off the plane whereas bungee jumping is like i can jump off whenever and that there's fear in that i'm just like am i gonna run and jump off this platform yeah yeah i am and that's scary yeah yeah yeah and i don't know if i've ever talked about my bungee jumping experience before but i did it in new zealand it was super sweet because it's a body harness so you know most bungee jumping you're just kind of
Starting point is 01:01:24 like standing up and you're kind of just dangling over something and then I cut the cord and you just kind of fall face first. But the body harness was like, go off however you want. Backflip, front flip, do anything you want. Just jump off of it. And that's the way to do it. Okay.
Starting point is 01:01:37 And that's worth your money. Because it's usually on your feet? Usually you're just standing straight up and you just like fall over. Okay. You know, and you're face down, which is still probably fun to go face down into the earth. But you kind of jumped up when you did it or like at least jumped out. Yeah. So I like got a running start, jumped out and then did like a 180 to, cause I wanted
Starting point is 01:01:54 a good picture. Yeah. What I did not think of was like falling backwards afterwards. And that was scary. Like fun, scary. Like, you know, I turned around to face the camera and then now I'm just falling backwards. I just see a rope, you know, above me. Like, please work, rope.
Starting point is 01:02:07 Please work. Yeah, because I think we were like 900 feet up or, you know, something high. So they're both very fun. You know, the skydiving in context was very fun. We got to do it. The one time I did it was with almost no heads up. We did it with an X Games gold medalist.
Starting point is 01:02:23 You know, that whole thing, like, made it fun. Matt Hoffman. Yeah, but I don't know if I would necessarily skydive again okay now that i've done it okay so there's my review so i'll do it if somebody pays me but i've heard enough people say that same thing of like yeah it's good it's just not like crazy amazing i don't want to do it every day of my life kind of thing i'm like okay that's a lot of money to do something that people don't have a super strong response to so if you love skydiving leave us a five-star review send us in a voice memo tell us about your experience and i'll consider it i think if i was in your shoes i would not skydive in kansas i think you've got to make the experience fun like skydive at night in
Starting point is 01:02:57 las vegas or something like that like then it could be pretty fun you know skydive in hawaii sure that'd be sweet and i had the same thought about bungee jumping like to be way more fun to bungee jump yeah when you're in new zealand that is on a yeah down off a bridge in kansas city like yeah whatever yeah the view made it pretty incredible okay back to his question which i've not really thought about the first thing i remember him saying which i don't even know if i would agree with he was saying like okay you've gone on a first date she's met all your friends now it's time for a second date that is not how i would that is not the order of operations please excuse my dear aunt sally that i would do that you would you would have aunt sally be like a third fourth date yes okay uh yeah i mean maybe aunt sally yeah yeah she's way down the road like first date second date third many
Starting point is 01:03:39 many dates before i feel like you know she's meeting the friends and whatnot but that's not the question the question is if i needed to romance her what would i do which would you consider yourself a very romantic person i think i'm thoughtful i don't know if i'm romantic yeah yeah i don't know i would need a definition i would like to see your romantic side i think you're like funny and maybe that's romantic to some people yeah i think i'm i think i'm thoughtful and kind of lame sometimes you know i mean yeah i don't feel like you're lame i i'm not cheesy which i think a lot of time gets thrown in with romantic i don't know what i would do i love the cheesy stuff i would probably try to find like a really random lyric from one of her songs and make
Starting point is 01:04:26 that be the theme of the date. Like something almost, it's funny, but it also is like maybe perhaps thoughtful. Okay. Yeah. I don't know what that would be, but that's, that's like, that's how my mind works. That's the route I would potentially go. Yeah. I think that thoughtful always translates into eventual romantic.
Starting point is 01:04:43 Like no matter if it's just completely goofiness or whatever. Yeah. It's like, oh, you put time into this. Yeah, exactly. All right. Thanks, Levi. Appreciate it. Hi, Jake and Brad.
Starting point is 01:04:54 My name is JC. I live in OKC and am a fourth grade teacher. So I'm not currently getting to go to work, which is, you know great love that um yeah I'm not really feeling corin fine during this corin time so um just finished my sixth puzzle of the week so I'm really thriving over here I wanted to share with you a joke that I made up and then get your honest review and opinion of the joke. Uh-oh. Obviously, you need to
Starting point is 01:05:29 tell me that it's hysterical or I will be depressed for the next who knows how long we are trapped inside of our houses. So, yeah. An honest opinion would be great. Here's my joke. What is a pirate's favorite type of oil?
Starting point is 01:05:46 Argan oil. All right. Let me know what you think. Have a great day. Bye. You don't even get it. I don't even get it. You don't even get it.
Starting point is 01:05:53 I would not have gotten this if I weren't married. It's like a, it's like a thing. Is this like a magma chamber thing? There's argan oil in there? Yeah, dude. When a magma chamber comes out. Oh. No.
Starting point is 01:06:04 JC. It's like something you, you uh i feel like it's argan oil like body washes and stuff i think oh i always thought it was argon but apparently it's argan it sounds like uh like a plutonium type oil it sounds like do you want unleaded super unleaded or argan oil yeah okay well jc so i think the joke's great as far as universal hilarity goes i mean you nailed that part of it. Because we both really get it and know exactly what you're talking about. I mean, anytime you go down the path of what's a pirate's favorite,
Starting point is 01:06:33 arg, as soon as you've gone that far, I know the punchline is arg. Arby's. Arby's. Yeah, who's a pirate's favorite Lion King character? Scar. Oh, yeah. Your turn. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 01:06:50 What be a pirate's favorite PBS kids show? Arthur. What did the pirate major in in college? Architecture. So these are hilarious yeah obviously and i think jc's joke was too that's yeah because it's original and that's what's so good that's what's so good about this future this future generation she made it up yeah she made it up she you know she made that one up in the shower when she was using her organ probably yeah that's where i make most things up okay shower time shower time making pirate jokes with my argan oil all over my body ah thanks jc i appreciate it i'm pretty sure i've dm'd you before and you're a nice you're a nice
Starting point is 01:07:39 person so thanks for listening to the podcast our next one is from Ryan Young. What do you think? Lady Ryan, boy Ryan. Lady, because there's two N's and an E. You're right. I hope this has sound this time. All right. So I happen to be listening to an old episode, and I totally understand what Catherine is saying about the lamp needing to be on, even though she's on her phone.
Starting point is 01:08:01 It's all about the ambiance, because you don't want to feel like, you know, you're going on your phone right before you go to bed. And so you keep the lamp on. So it's still sort of daytime. It's an ambiance thing. It's a girl thing. Secondly, Jake, I've been listening to you talk a lot about your Chipotle takeout and, you know, getting takeout and stuff.
Starting point is 01:08:20 And I also happen to hear maybe in the same episode that either you need to get a wife or you need to learn how to cook. I'm going to say you need to get a wife because us gals can teach you so much about cooking and, you know, eating cheaply. That Chipotle takeout must get expensive. Anyway, just wanted to let you guys know. Thanks for the podcast. Bye bye. Bye bye. Ryan, thank you for the question.
Starting point is 01:08:46 I'm down to get married. I don't know if I've ever expressed any opposition towards it. But also, love Chipotle. Love going there. It's real nice. But if you get married, sometimes the wife will go get Chipotle for you. Is that what she was saying? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:09:00 That's awesome. Because right now it's like two minutes away, and oh, I just... Oh, I could just go for a hot dog at home. It is funny the difference in just Trey and I. Trey Postmates stuff all the time. Dude. And I'm like, dude, we can't leave our homes. This is our one excuse to leave the house.
Starting point is 01:09:15 Let's go to Chipotle. I will never. I do not like delivering food to my house unless it's pizza. What if you had as much money as Trey did? Do you think you would Postmates stuff more? I truly don't think I would because because i think that i you know me and eating at the place right like i i love love love eating at the restaurant when i showed up to pickleball this is like two weeks ago uh i was like i just had a chipotle burrito and brad's like you eat
Starting point is 01:09:38 it on the way here it's like yeah he's like that is my nightmare no dude yeah i would never i would oh my gosh i would throw away my shirt after that because I would get so much stuff all over it. It would just be all over my car. No, no, no. Thank you. I love eating it there for multiple reasons. Obviously the free refills, big, big free refill guy, but also just the temperature of the food drastically changes from the time you pick it up to the time you get home.
Starting point is 01:10:01 Even if it's five minutes, I'm serious. And I think I'm, I'm maybe I'm a little too particular about that, but whenever somebody postmates something to you, you have to either rely on them getting there early and then they get the food right away and they bring it to you, or maybe they're going to be there and the food's already been ready for five, 10 minutes. Then you got 20 minutes potentially between the time they pick it up or the time it's ready to the time you to eat it i do not enjoy that at all at all hot so anyway i i really don't think i will i really don't think i mean i'm sure i would find exceptions to it like pizza like pizza stays warm um soup you know hey kath you want me to post made some soup, Kath, you want some hot chicken noodle or what, huh?
Starting point is 01:10:46 You got a nice tomato bisque. Nice tomato bisque. Boston clam chowder. Anyway, I love getting stuff there. So, yeah, I don't know. Find a wife if you really want one. She also talked about the lamp thing. You have anything else you want to say about that?
Starting point is 01:11:00 Ambiance? No, just get that out of here. The ambiance. Ryan, get your lamp out of here. Ambiance. I mean, have some streetlights going. You know know you'll acclimate when you turn off the lights people in my bed magma jame all right new voicemail hi jake and brad this is maria from ohio first off nobody from ohio actually likes the chili that has noodles and just gross stuff in it. Nobody likes that. Second off, Ohio is the best state in the union. And third, I want to share with Jake a life-changing hack or tip of the week. You can get kitchen gloves at like Walmart or basically any store so that you don't have to get your hands wet when you're washing the dishes.
Starting point is 01:11:47 That's fine. I love them. They're cheap. I think they're by the Mops in Walmart. So just a tip. By the Mops. And also, Jake, you should really marry my sister. Okay, bye.
Starting point is 01:11:57 Whoa. I like the ending there. Found me a bullseye. Bullseye. Ride him. Ride him, cowboy. First thing, I know I said I don't like to get my hands wet, but I'm okay with getting my hands wet. The whole point of the core of that wish is laziness.
Starting point is 01:12:14 It's not that I'm grossed out by getting my hands wet. It's just like I don't want to have to dry them off afterwards. So the fact that I would have to go to prevent this, I would have to go to Walmart, buy something, and then put those on every time. I'm not going to do that for sure. You have way more chipotle takeout than you do dishes every morning probably yeah i'm getting chipotle as soon as we're done recording this are you yeah i haven't had lunch yet so i'm going to but maria thank you for thinking of me and thank you for wanting me to marry your sister i'm down okay okay now brad has some things to say about chile and union states first first of all you can't... Okay, I don't think that Kansas is the best state in the union, first of all. Let me just say that.
Starting point is 01:12:49 I understand that there are lots of great states in America, and I'm not stupid enough to think that Kansas is the best. I'm not saying that you're stupid, Maria, but I am going to say that if you come in here saying, hey, the food that we're most famous for, no one in our state actually likes, but our state is awesome. Don't believe it for a second. Okay.
Starting point is 01:13:09 I enjoy Ohio. King's Island all day. We've talked about it. Sure. But there's, you can't, you can't just be like, hey, this thing that we're really famous for, that stinks. Yeah. So.
Starting point is 01:13:20 But at least we have the big, oh no. Well, we got the Cleveland Browns. Oh, well. The Indians beat the Cubs. Oh, well. LeBron's still in Cleveland. Oh, no. Well, we got the Cleveland Browns. Oh, well. The Indians beat the Cubs. Oh, well. LeBron's still in Cleveland. Oh, well. Urban Marks.
Starting point is 01:13:29 Oh, boy. So, Brad, I'm a longtime listener. I am from Indiana, and I know what you're thinking. I probably like basketball, but I don't. Basketball? And actually, no one in Indiana likes basketball. Larry Bird is, like, I think he might be a criminal. We don't like him at all.
Starting point is 01:13:48 There's, he's a perverted. He's perfect. Yeah. David Leverman. David Leverman is the worst too. Anyway. You get what I was trying to say. You get it.
Starting point is 01:13:59 I get it. Yeah. Yeah. I'd be like, hey, I'm from Kansas and I don't like barbecue. No one likes barbecue here it's a myth but we are the best we are the best best in the union you can't say you heard it here first maria um thanks for the voice memo though yeah yeah the ending was great i will say i will say even though i gave you a hard time i appreciate people thinking that their state i love state
Starting point is 01:14:24 pride i just love it i love why you married a texan that's hard time, I appreciate people thinking that their state, I love state pride. I just love it. I love why you married a Texan. That's seriously. No, I appreciate people enjoying where they're from, wherever you live, wherever you're from. Just be proud of that.
Starting point is 01:14:34 See, and I appreciate the humility of not just liking something that your state is known for. She's like, Hey, everyone's talking about the skyline chili, but I actually don't like it. No one likes it though.
Starting point is 01:14:42 So, so really she's not humble at all. I mean, she's just like, yeah, I'm going with the masses here in her mind in her yeah i don't know yeah no yeah i see what you're saying i'm just giving you a hard time okay one last voice memo hello breaking oh this is radio nick wright nick wright jad nick wright here second time caller long time listener not the nick wright of sports ball radio, or whatever it is that he does.
Starting point is 01:15:07 I'm also not a voiceover actor, but if EllisCustomCreations.com ever needs any work, you let me know. Let's do it. Chipotle. I need more time to defend why I don't like it, but I just beg you to stop. You won't have all the problems getting the right beverage. Let's talk about Panda Express, though. Do you guys eat it? Yes.
Starting point is 01:15:23 Do you like it? Yes. And my question is, which rice do you select and why? I hate eggs, so I do not get fried rice. I get white rice. This guy's a clown. And I love it. It's fantastic.
Starting point is 01:15:33 Lastly, flossing. I highly encourage you. You must floss daily. Brush twice a day and floss at least once. I had two words from a dentist, ones that changed my life forever about oral hygiene. Good luck. Those two words, root canal. That's right, folks.
Starting point is 01:15:50 Root canal. You'll start flossing when you hear those words. Love the show. Keep it up. Take care. Bye. Okay. That dude's got, he must have a very nice microphone or something.
Starting point is 01:16:00 His voice just sounds better than ours. There's no way that's coming off of an iPhone mic. Welcome here, Nick Wright. Hello, guys. Man, that's nice. Two things I thought of. One, I know you offered your services to Ellis Custom Creations,
Starting point is 01:16:12 but I'm gonna see if there's a way to maybe, like, so how it is now, Trey has a friend who's a PA announcer, full-time, and so Trey built into his walkout song that guy recording, now welcome to the stage,y kennedy and it sounds amazing and as of now trey is the one who introduces me which is kind of fun you know trey likes it i like it this is going but it'd be cool if like nick wright could introduce me
Starting point is 01:16:34 for all the shows ladies and gentlemen jake triplet i guess I need a walkout song first. Sha-da-da-da-da. It's the one and only Jake Triplett. I'll get you a walkout song. That would be fun. And all the podcast listeners would know, like, when they hear that. Like, if they're at the show, they're like, Jake is coming. I listen to his podcast.
Starting point is 01:16:57 And I even kind of know the guy who announces him. Yeah, everyone starts standing up. Nick Wright! That's his voice! Everyone does the big jaw. Their big jaw. Nick Wright, you did it! You brought
Starting point is 01:17:12 Knoxville back together after Jake tore it down. First of all, Nick Wright doesn't like Chipotle or eggs. He's from Kansas? What's he doing? I will say I hate eggs, but I still eat the fried rice. I just don't eat the egg part because fried rice tastes great. Fried rice is so good. But actually, I get the chow mein because chow eat the egg part because fried rice tastes great. Fried rice is so good. But actually, I get the chow mein because chow mein tastes even better than fried rice
Starting point is 01:17:28 to me. That's a hot take. Yeah. Really? Yeah, I love it. No, I think Panda Express gets a bad rap from people. I think they think it's kind of gross, but I think it's pretty fresh food. I could be wrong.
Starting point is 01:17:39 Am I wrong? I don't think I'm wrong, though. I don't think you're wrong. I think they make it fresh. So it's almost like the Chipotle of Asian food. Oh, I would say it's a very similar process of getting the food out and then being served. It's not waiting around very long before it gets to you. They just don't do a good job of marketing it.
Starting point is 01:17:58 I think Chipotle just does such a good job of healthily marketing their stuff. And not saying that Panda Express is probably as healthy as Chipotle because I don't think it is. But just in general, I think Panda Express just seems a little more fast food-y. Chipotle just seems a little more healthy. And maybe that's Nick Wright's issues with Chipotle. He's from Kansas. A lot of agriculture people, I don't know what his background is, but a lot of ag people don't like Chipotle that much because of some of the marketing they do.
Starting point is 01:18:23 GMOs? Because of the GMO things. BPAs? Yes, because of all the ways marketing they do gmos because of the gmo bpas things yes because of all the ways that they have like small farm herbicide sure those words the scary words fertilizer yeah yeah all of them chemtrails uh yeah waco david koresh exactly all those things so i can see okay that makes sense now i don't know because one of my best friends from yeah okay yeah yeah he he's that guy and he just does not like to pull he's that guy so uh to his third point root canal here is my stance and it's probably i don't know if this is irresponsible or immature or just self-aware and optimistic.
Starting point is 01:19:05 How are these adjectives? Should I just start saying it now? No, they're great. Okay. I'm aware that I have been blessed and very privileged with pretty great genetics. Everyone in my family is skinny. Everyone has all their hair. And one of those things is everyone has good teeth for the most part.
Starting point is 01:19:21 And so I am then not motivated to take super great care of myself really in any aspect because i'm like i'll be fine my dad yeah works in the restaurant industry it's just eating food like nobody's business is that pretty much what he eats every day is like he goes to one of his restaurants and just eats there yeah i mean for lunch yeah every single day it's just eaten from like a client's kitchen i mean not like during corona time but before right for sure and yeah i think he might go on a jog once a month and he's fine yeah and so even though that maybe this is off topic and unrelated i don't know but i've just been conditioned almost to be like well my genes are pretty good and i realize i know it's like privileged and lucky almost but i'm like i don't
Starting point is 01:20:05 know how good of a care i need to take of myself also you have a best friend who's a dentist so surely if push came to shove he would help you out now i know by saying that like i'm gonna break my leg playing pickleball all the night my dad's gonna get cancer tomorrow now that i've said that no no no so that's a bummer but up to this point i i've been very blessed yeah by my health yeah yeah me too i just i think dr pepper tastes so good so i'm just gonna keep drinking yeah don't get me started on choir taste again oh my gosh katherine uh talked to me about that today not about that part specifically but about the uh um like the love is blind thing and she's like how were people not laughing so
Starting point is 01:20:46 hard at that like she's like i thought that was hilarious when he said he took off his shirt oh like the girls in the video i thought she was meaning like the people in the chick play next to us and i was like well they might have been oh no no like she's saying like the girls yeah the audience yeah like how did they not realize that was funny right i thought that was so funny just like that and and katherine's not like the easiest like she's a tough critic like she's not just gonna say anything's fine i like making k captain life yeah because it's not a it's not a layup and and so like she really truly thought it was funny and yeah anyway couldn't believe it so well thanks kath anyway uh yeah root can all start flossing at least with the
Starting point is 01:21:17 little picks like the like the handheld ones those are nice make it easy on you yeah yeah i bought some of those off amazon like a year ago and they're still almost all in there it's about that time all in their baggie but I'm about to be a kid of two as I was dancing earlier I was like
Starting point is 01:21:29 I am going to have a son that's and I'm dancing like this what is this what I just feel it's a problem I just felt like
Starting point is 01:21:37 so goofy you can't be goofy and have two kids I like the shoulder I just felt so goofy and zany I felt so naughty a little bit.
Starting point is 01:21:46 I'm going to be a different person next time we record. You're going to be so mature. I'm going to have an octave lower voice. I'm going to be like, hey, Jake. Hey, thanks for having me. That sounds more like Steve Triplett. But hey, thanks for having me on. It's been a good week for me.
Starting point is 01:21:59 I'm just going to be really boring like this the whole time. So I'm just going to be so mature. I might try to find a paternity leave replacement then. That does not sound that fun. Well, that's all the voice moments we have. Thank you guys for sending them in. As always, we really appreciate it. And if you didn't know, we're on YouTube, baby.

You know, if we said something dumb or unfactual, call us out. I told you the other day that my dad has been like re-listening. Like he's to the point of quarantine where he's re-listening to all the podcasts. And I guess in one of the podcast episodes, you clearly jokingly said something about the Louisiana Purchase.
Starting point is 01:22:42 And who did you use?osevelt i don't know you said i don't know you said some president was like yeah the president like roosevelt had the louisiana purchase and dad my dad texted me he's like hey fyi jake said roosevelt had the louisiana purchase that's just not true i'm like that like so he's he's fact checking us that's funny like yeah i think he was joking about that. Yeah. And I feel like our podcast is meant to be listened to once. If you're going to fact-check it, don't listen a second time. I don't know.
Starting point is 01:23:12 It's true. You guys can listen as much as you want to. Tell me what the reverb word is, though. Yeah, I can't think of that. It's like, there's like the epicenter. It's like there's a recoil. That's not it. That's like on a gun.
