How does anyone ever get good at extreme sports?
Like guys who can backflip on rollerblades and land back on their rollerblades?
I've had this thought before.
Yes, same thing.
Yeah.
Oh, they're going to say like, I've tried this before.
Not that hard.
No, I've tried it before and I did not play sports for another like five years after that
because I was paralyzed from the neck down.
Like almost any Olympic sport.
How do you progress?
And just like, I can't quite land the 900 on the snowboard.
I get about 850, which is the back of my neck.
Right, exactly.
Like the divers, divers that just do like 15 flips.
If you screw that up.
14 and a half hurts real bad.
Or even just like street performers or things.
Like no one's just okay at sword swallowing.
Right.
Yeah, I started with some daggers, you know, move my way up.
I don't know. Last week was awful. know move my way up i don't know uh last week was
awful i really choked i don't know all right roll the intro music oh shoot yeah

Great job, Brad.
Oh, yeah.

Yeah?
We used to do 90s theme songs every single week.
Okay.
I love 90s sitcoms.
They are so good.
Home Improvement, Fresh Prince, Family Matters, Saved by the Bell.
I grew up without cable, but for whatever reason, we had TBS.
And so they had all these reruns of 90s sitcoms.
So I love them.
Full House.
Turner Broadcasting. Oh, yeah. Always had Braves games on TBS. Right. tbs and so they had all these reruns of 90s sitcoms so i love them full house turner broadcasting oh
yeah always had braves games on tbs right tbs and wg and somehow had these like national broadcasts
of the cubs and the braves well turner was uh atlanta guy turner field oh yeah that's right
they were in cahoots they were doing things together they were it's cohesive what about um
do you ever watch the jeffersons no i know about it i just i
like the theme song while we're talking about theme songs moving on up moving on to the east
side is that the one that says fish don't fry in the kitchen yeah i just know that song from
nelly nelly had a batter up you remember that song oh yeah i do better better better better
better better up.
I don't know.
That's all I have to say about it. Yeah, no, I'm remembering it.
I'm remembering it.
What up, dude?
What's going on?
What's new?
Just living life with a new baby.
It's good.
He spit up in my face the other day.
On purpose?
In my face.
I don't know.
I said, hey, Bo, I think that LeBron's better than MJ.
And he goes,
no, Catherine was like five o'clock in the morning and she wakes me up and she's like,
Hey, do you mind? I just fed him. Do you mind like burping them and trying to get them back to sleep?
And every single time Catherine wakes me up, I have the same thought process. I think,
no, I don't want to do that, but you have been up really long tonight and you also birthed him.
So I will always say yes, even though I don't want to. Do you think that has a shelf life on
it or you think that'll last? I really hope it lasts. Yeah. Uh, I'm sure though there's going
to be, I'm going to need grace many times, but, uh, yeah, there's times even, I mean,
I don't always respond perfectly. Like sometimes I'll go, yeah like you know i don't i'm not perfect i
don't respond that way you know immediately sometimes but anyway so i'm like half asleep
like i think i got him like i think we're good like i think he's you know he's he's down he's
good and then all of a sudden he's just like all over my neck my neck he got my neck um yeah and i
you know just trying to stay quiet for the most part you know trying
to get him back to sleep so katherine could fall back asleep and then he did that and i was just
like oh buddy oh what are you doing i was so frustrated with him and it's okay it's just one
of those things that you gotta you gotta do what's when you say oh boom my neck and your vom.
Your vom.
When do babies start eating baby food?
Uh, I don't, it's kind of soon.
Like, um, oh, I don't know for sure.
I feel like probably six months maybe.
I don't know for sure.
I can't remember that stuff.
I'm so, like, I'm so thankful for Catherine because if not, then I think.
You wouldn't have the kid.
He would just have milk all the time, like for the rest of his life. So his life so I don't know well but then again I don't know if he could
because Catherine wouldn't be there oh my gosh she's very much more integral to this than I am
you'd have to just go cow's milk or almond do have you ever tried the baby food only on like
youth group you know prank dare kind of games you never got curious like feeding it to Hattie or
anything well no not really well Catherine like made her own baby food most of the time yeah she did
because it's cheaper and you know it's just more like normal and so it's like she would like make
peas and freeze them and then we'd like microwave them in the microwave you know like in then feed
them to hattie and so it was like just peas so it wasn't that weird of food. But like, no, I never tried her Gerber cans
that had like bananas and onions in them or whatever.
That's nasty.
What about breast milk?
You ever tried that?
No, no, no, never.
Never?
You never got curious?
Never.
No way.
No way.
I think I would be curious enough.
Would you?
Like 4 a.m., yeah, patting it back.
No one's got to know. I don't's gotta know it's in the it's in the
the fridge right i probably would okay okay yeah no i wouldn't no it's weird that's weird
it's a little too like like dark yellow for me oh it's a little was not aware that that was the color yeah it's it's dark yellow like dehydrated pee no no no no no like uh
like uh like imagine you got imagine you imagine you got um you you were um playing football in
your khakis in on a muddy day okay and then you put them in the um wash and they didn't get washed
very well okay that's what they look like so it's like in a bottle yeah it's like dark yellow khaki that all of a sudden is not sounding as good right
it's not that white milk that you would imagine coming out of the jersey cow ew it's not white
no it's like this is blowing my mind it's not maybe i'm making it sound too yellow but yeah
it's definitely it's definitely got some yellow tint to it. That's too bad, but cool. But you're not, you're not going for it
anymore, huh? Maybe. I don't know. I've got a while before I have to make that decision. I think
you're going to love all those things. You're going to be so fascinated by so many things with
marriage and being a dad. I can't wait. Yeah. I'm looking forward to it somewhat. Actually,
I'm not in a hurry at all. I had advice for you.
Okay.
As a man...
Don't go to bed angry.
Let's toast, guys.
Let's hear it for the Andersons.
No, I would say...
So I was...
Catherine went to bed the other night with Bo and was like,
hey, before you go to bed, do you mind folding this laundry?
And I was like, absolutely.
I can do that.
No problem.
It's easy.
And here's my advice for you.
As a man, being a husband and a dad is not that hard because here's what you do.
You don't have to be perfect at anything.
All you got to do is try.
You just got to try.
I was folding this laundry.
I was six out of 10 at best folding this laundry.
Like it wasn't perfect.
The creases were, I mean, I'm never going to be as good as Catherine.
Like Catherine has some ability to like make it perfectly, you know, every single shirt.
It's the mother thing.
It's like finding the thing in the closet that you couldn't find.
It's knowing when something like knowing the dates of things, when something's due or deadlines.
Yeah.
Like she knows my whole social calendar before I do. Yeah, exactly. But I tried, I literally folded these, this, this laundry and
did not do a good job. I guarantee you. But the fact that I just did it is enough. Like that's
how low wives, uh, standards are for husbands. Like husbands are like, Hey babe, this, uh,
this crease is a little off. Get better at folding.
Not really.
I don't say that to her.
But you know what I'm saying?
As a husband, just try.
You don't have to empty the dishwasher.
I never know where things go.
I just try.
Tupperware?
I think that's the spatula drawer.
I think we're good.
Are we putting spatulas with the silverware, or do they get their own drawer?
Right.
It doesn't matter to me.
And Capital kind of roll her eyes and be like, oh, that's not where they go come on but you know it's like but in her head she's smiling
you know she's like that's sweet that he tried that's all you gotta do as a husband that's pretty
great i think my entire first year of marriage is just going to be setting the bar solo for myself
hey can you fold the laundry and do the dishes and then i just get confused i'm putting underwear
the silverware drawer like oh oops, oops. The wrong detergent.
Okay.
I'll get it.
I'll get it next time.
And just setting the bar so low.
I love it.
Yeah.
That's great.
Why not?
If anyone wants your underwear in a silverware drawer, you know what I mean?
You know what I mean?
Just kidding.
You could be the big spoon.
You know what I'm saying?
Oh, boy.
Yeah.
So just try, man.
Just try. Okay. That's good advice speaking of i have i have another
thing speaking of uh silverware-esque things life hack of the week katherine's mom before she left
bought us a bunch of paper plates i know it's not great for the environment but we need to be using
paper plates more often they're wonderful we got done we had uh emily and gunner over for
dinner last week we got done with
dinner threw it all in the trash and said see ya done yeah going to bed after i fold this laundry
going to compost spot right and yeah obviously don't do that forever in your life because
it's expensive but for the time being it is wonderful grew up on paper plates yeah love them
love them because for the most part i look at, okay, is there any kind of like,
am I putting ketchup
on the side of this meal?
If not,
then I could probably go paper plates.
Yeah.
That's like really the only,
am I cutting with a knife?
No, I can go paper plates.
Right.
How often do you cut with it?
I never use a knife.
No.
I'll just really push it with a fork.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Forks are sharper now.
They do some things.
Yeah, change my mind. Forks have gotten sharper. Those sides of forks are, they're, do some things they yeah change my mind forks have
gotten sharper those sides of forks are they're they're the tinsel streaks on those are good
what's uh that one weird guy in the office's quote like gums gums getting mintier now or
something like that that's my thing who says forks are getting sharper the dwight's uh funny assistant
oh nate yeah nate i can never remember his name but i love loved his character. He comes mintier now. Yeah, he was funny.
Like, he was one of the only bright spots in those last few episodes.
Like a younger Creed.
Like, equally weird, but had a different role.
But like a little more lovable.
Like, just a nice guy, you know?
Yeah.
Did less acid.
I think the part that I love of Nate was whenever Dwight would be like,
Nate, your mother's dying.
Or your mother died.
And it was like,
he'd already told him that three times, but it was like
the fourth time. And he just like sinks
to his knees and is so sad.
He just keeps believing that his
mother keeps dying.
I don't know why, but that part's so funny
to me, especially the way he falls.
If we can edit in that video right now,
I just, like the sound effect that happens when his knees hit the floor is so funny to me, especially the way he falls. If we can edit it in that video right now, the sound effect that happens when his knees hit the floor
is so funny to me.
Nate!
Your mother is dying.
See, I feel bad about that.
It's alright.
Anyway, paper plates.
Anyway, another news. We've been pickling a lot.
A lot.
It's so awesome.
You guys got to play pickleball.
It's so easy to play.
I would say it's hard to master.
That's what we're trying to do now. But so easy to just get in there and play and feel just so fun and sweaty.
You guys got to play.
And it's getting warmer out, so it's easy to get sweaty, let me tell you.
Yeah.
Hot dogs.
Humidity is up.
Hot dogs are sweaty.
Hot dogs.
And speaking of pickleball, we made a new friend last night.
Oh, did we?
Brad showed up about 30 minutes after we did.
And right before Brad got there, I made a friend.
This guy was just kind of watching.
It's as weird as it sounds.
I'll just say it objectively.
He was watching me play from outside the fence for about 20 minutes.
There was more than 10 people there,
so he was outside the fence.
Yeah, the Brad rule.
And I was like, I wonder if this guy is,
I wonder what his intentions are.
But she came in and I said,
can I play with you guys?
And I said, yeah, dude, you could be on my team.
Turns out his name is Ole? Ola ola ola o l e h i know that because it was on his paddle which was honestly clutch
because he would be like all right the first time he said his name i was like what did you say yeah
ollie ola because it's just like a few a few like muttered muttered noises yeah yeah and he was
on my team and we cleaned house brad shows up and he goes who's this guy well because you had
invited a bunch of your friends that i'm not super familiar with sure and so i was like maybe this is
one of their dads or something but he had like that european look to him like like his his style you know how that european
style is just a little bit different yeah point to your ears i think that's what it is yeah yeah
the facial style that's their style yeah yeah no he's just like he's just a little bit too cool
looking for how old he was you know yeah he was cool our dad don't look as cool as they don't
look that cool their shorts are longer that's what it is probably yeah they're a little bit less um skin free free with the skin
and point to your ears oh yeah he has for sure yeah that makes sense he has all fish features
so uh we play with ola a little bit and turns out ola's not going anywhere ola's here to pickle
with us all night we end up playing with him for i I mean, probably close to three hours last night. It was awesome.
And I had some great quotes from Ola throughout the night.
He did not back down from the trash talk at all.
No.
As a matter of fact, he kind of threw it my way a few times.
Like there was one time where I missed an easy shot into the net
and I was like, oh no.
And he just goes, oh yes.
Oh yes.
And then what else did he say? I can't remember all of them can you remember
anything else we would say like i remember one time we were partners uh you hit it in the net
or something like god dang it i was like hey it's okay and then ola goes yeah it's okay it's okay
and he would always call out this like he had a certain way of calling out the uh score like if we were to do it, we'd be like, all right, 2-2-1, here we go.
And then you just serve.
Just real quick, say the score.
And especially when he was the second one.
So you say your score, their score, and then the first or second.
So he'd be like, 7-6, doop.
And then you get his point and be like, 8-6, doop.
Every time, to the point where Brad started like mocking mocking him but every time i would do it i would
mess up and so then he'd get the ball back he'd be like nine six and then he'd wait for a second
kind of watch me and be like it was great man it was it was really funny it was great we got his
number we might text him tonight the yes we need to the uh the the best the best part of the whole
thing oh yeah so jake and I are playing on a team,
and most of the people had left the pickleball courts by that time.
Somebody was in the parking lot, though, blaring in their car the party rock anthem.
And in a minivan, too, I think.
Really?
I think it was.
I couldn't tell.
Yeah, so Jake was like, is that LMFAO over there?
And I was like, yeah, it is.
And we were talking about the song for a second,
and then ola
kind of gets close to the net and he just like makes eye contact with me he goes every day i'm
shuffling and i was like ola like it's amazing such a wild card he also quoted acdc at one point
yeah dirty deeds and done dirt cheap it was amazing the whole thing i was like this guy is
staying around maybe we had the bar set
too low for like a 58 year old european but ukrainian but yeah he very much surpassed it
yes ukrainian europe surely that's your that's like eastern europe surely i don't know i don't
know like russia isn't russia in both asia and ukraine or sorry asia and europe is that true
i think who gets to decide what continent people are on?
Galileo, I think, did.
Okay.
And then it was remodified by Obama, I think.
That's right.
That was the Obamacare Act.
That's what that was.
Because he's like, I care about where these continents are.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
Obamacare's.
Yeah.
So, I...
Well, I don't know.
I think that Turkey is the only country in two continents oh really okay i think
okay i haven't checked the obamacare in a while though so five-star review last time yeah we don't
know but russia definitely gets over there it gets it goes west yeah anyway it's huge anyway
ukraine's not even russia every day i'm shuffling every day i'm shuffling it was awesome in the
middle of point i was like out of all the things i would have thought you were gonna say oh that
was probably last on the list when I met you two hours ago.
Turns out he works at the casino and he's a professional dealer.
He's like, yeah, every day I'm shuffling.
Not really.
That would be good though.
He was crazy.
Like we could talk about Ola the whole time.
He was not a casino dealer.
He's quite the opposite.
He's a molecular biologist.
And I was like, oh really?
You still do that?
He's like, no, no, no.
Software developer and then graphic designer. And now I make videos for lawyers. I was like oh really you still do that you're like no no software software developer and then graphic designer and now i make videos for lawyers i was like what i filmed their
depositions you're like and wait now you're the voice of guru and despicable me that's crazy ola
that's so impressive how you did all of that okay i'm not that great an impression okay
anyway it was it was a fun time with ola man
hopefully more stories to come from ola and in the weeks to come uh speaking of things that are
going to happen uh brad you are going to get a haircut this week yes but we're recording a week
before our this episode will come out correct so my right now, let me show the people of YouTube.
Shaggy dog.
Scoob, if you will.
Yeah, just crazy flow.
I've realized I haven't cut it since the episode where we talked about you going to Mexico.
The police being closed on Sunday.
Yeah. I cut my hair like right before that.
That was the last time I cut my hair.
That's pretty crazy.
Pretty crazy.
So I'm getting my hair cut this week.
Shaggy dog.
So by the time you're listening to this, my hair follicles will be shorter on my head.
So I wish we could talk about your haircut now, but it hasn't happened yet. But by the time this episode comes out, it will have happened. So let's just talk about like, well, let me just tell you
the story of what happens. Yeah. Okay. As accurate as you can about what it's going to be like.
Sure. So I had, yeah. Okay. So I had my haircut on Wednesday, Wednesday morning at 10, 10 30.
This is Wednesday, May 20th.
This would be Wednesday, May 20th at 10 30.
Okay.
And originally it was going to be at 10 o'clock, but Bill called me back.
He's like, Hey Brad, how are you buddy?
Actually, I just had somebody call and they're, they're needing me down at the hospital to do a quick blood donor work at nine o'clock can we move back to 10 30 i said bill that's fine
you're you're o positive whatever universal donor they need it more than i do universal donor yeah
and so uh so i get there at 10 30 and um none of these guys are wearing masks and i was who are
these guys what are you talking about we're talking about wendy we're talking about bill the hairdressers none of the none of the guys the employees
oh yeah and just i was outraged i i i thought about leaving but i thought you know it's been
about five months since i've done this i'm a shaggy dog i'm a shaggy dog i need this were you
wearing your mask i need this i did not wear my mask but you were just outraged that they weren't
either no because because i'm better than them.
Okay.
Yeah, they're dirtier than I am.
Yeah, yeah.
You know, I've just been home and come there.
They've been to the hospital for crying out loud, just donate blood.
Yeah, I mean, I'm trying to think.
So by Wednesday, that would have been, what, three or four days since a baby vomited on your neck.
So you were clean.
Right, and I've never showered since then um and so went to the haircut place and i said hey i
uh would really like a haircut okay what did bill say then he said okay buddy no problem buddy uh
and got my haircut nice and tight and then he accidentally nicked a little bit in the side. Oh, what did he say?
He said,
Oh,
body every day.
You're shuffling.
And he said,
he said,
I think we're going to have to put this into a Mohawk.
And so,
wow.
I,
did you agree?
Or cause you're still wearing your hat.
Well,
now I'm a big Chuck Liddell fan.
And so I was like,
well,
if Chuck does it,
then maybe I should do it too.
And I thought maybe it'd help me with pickleball.
So it turns out I'm not going to commit to getting a mohawk.
Turns out I did not get a mohawk.
Was he able to scrape some of the hair off the ground and put it back on you?
Yes.
And so that's like the new technology they have there.
This place is mostly run by 75-year-old men, so they love new technology.
Yeah.
What's the process called of the floor hair going back on your head it's called um molecular trans
uh trans what is just trans i think yeah yeah they just say hey do you want to become trans
and i was like yeah i can get some trans on my head uh and so you're like yeah sure and so uh
they they transed me up uh and they're like, you might have to go under for this. Like,
and so do you need a surgery to become trans? And I was like, if that's what it takes to become trans, you know, my wife would really love it. Uh, you know, because she does not love the way
I look right now. Um, especially, you know, especially on my head. And so, uh, please just,
yeah, do whatever you gotta do. And so they transed up a real nice. And, uh, yeah, they put hair back on
there and, um, yeah, from there it was just, it was just nice day. And then it's just kind of a
normal haircut. No one would ever know that you had gone trans. Right. And that's the, that's the
point. They're like, you'll, you'll never be able to tell the difference. Uh, except for sometimes
your hand sizes is a little bit different than a normal person's hand size would be, uh, that's
not trans. Um um but that's
the only thing you can really tell do you think you'll go back i don't know if you can um oh sorry
i meant just what will you oh to the haircut to the barber snip snap snip snap you have no idea
how much of a toll this takes on a man um to the barber oh yeah i'll go back to bill every gotcha oh yeah
every he calls me a buddy yeah i don't know actually i'm not gonna be an every month kind
of guy maybe if i was like a lawyer or something that like needs like really nice corporate hair
but every seven weeks that sounds zany you're so wacky oh you can't can't keep me down
so that happened i don't know if i've ever paid
more wow that's crazy that that happened by the way sorry let's not glaze over that that's crazy
that's pretty weird what's the most you've ever paid for a haircut they charge actually kind of
a lot there um with tip i think i often will pay around 25 to 30 dollars what's the most a guy's haircut can cost uh i think they're
50 plus some places because it's like an experience it's like you go and get your
haircut i kind of want that but but the things that they give you well they they give you like
liquor and stuff like you don't need whiskey you wouldn't get excited if they was like hey
you want a whiskey coke maybe you'd be excited about that yeah hold the whiskey sure yeah right
hold the whiskey and put it with some ice cream please coke floats please uh they have like leather
chairs you know they have like a hot towel for you and all that stuff so i think they charge 50
75 bucks something like that it's a very like a dallas thing to do okay you know and that is
dallas that is dallas just this week that reminded me i was looking into
laser hair removal for my face really thoughts um yeah do it really you you would never want
facial hair uh i've never seen anyone in my family really with facial hair i don't think
it's one of our strengths you know so i don't think i would ever even get to the point where
it's gonna be super full and i have the choice or steven spielberg is like jake we need a mustache and i'm like oh perfect
i can grow one easily put the spirit gum on me and stick it you might just trans up uh my mustache
they do that yeah yeah so maybe they'll do the opposite i've got a guy in a light trans you
yeah bill bill could trans me up but yeah because i hate shaving and i'm so lazy with it i always use an electric razor
it's not even that close even now you know i'm recording my phone 720p not the great the best
lighting probably looks like a little stubble here yeah because that's nice i think people like that
all constant stub yeah five o'clock shad i don't think i do though. James Bond has five o'clock Shad. But what if I was just a
little baby boy? Just completely, because people love like, oh wow. Look how like a young boy.
Chris Hemsworth is so sexy. He looks just like my baby boy. I don't know. What's that quote from
the other guys where he's like, you probably think because of the beard that I'm super hairy, but shaved.
It's something like that.
I don't know.
That goes funny.
I think, I don't know.
I think we should have a poll about the laser hair.
I think it's probably expensive.
I looked.
Groupon, very cheap, but the reviews are a little sketchy.
I would not go the Groupon route for something that important.
Yeah.
And some of the friends I was talking about it with, they're like, oh, they've got some
like DIY kits that are pretty cheap.
I'm like, I want, I will pay someone who has a degree to do this.
Any kind of work on my own body.
Even if it's like a hair trans, I will pay someone to do it.
I'm not doing this in my living room.
Like what if they, what if they get all your hair from your entire face, except for right
under your nose and so you just and it like does like this opposite effect where like you know
since you don't have any seeds anywhere else all it goes all the all the growth is right here and
you just have to shave every five hours or you have a hitler stash i do know that seeds is the
right term yeah for growing hair well you have a receding hairline it's when you have to like it's
like fertilizer you have to get receded or else it's gonna go away yeah that makes sense that was clever yeah
um i would say no to the uh hitler receding uh procedure i don't want mine comfort uh you know
style proceed without the seat is probably what i would say to them with this procedure
but yeah i am legitimately looking into it.
I think second stimulus comes through.
Yeah.
Get the hair off my face.
So they do it on your face?
They can. It's considered a medium-sized area.
Face slash neck.
Oh, like back and stomach.
It's like an entire leg.
Okay.
It's extra large, I think.
And it's for life.
You have to get like eight treatments. Okay. And then it's, I think. And it's for life. You have to get like eight treatments.
Okay.
And then it's like for life.
Yeah.
Hey, go for it, man.
I don't know.
Just while we're talking hair,
I just remembered that I was thinking about that,
looking into it this week.
Huh.
What if you just did it on a random body part instead?
Like one of your arms,
you just did laser hair removal on
and just waited until somebody brought it up and come. Hey man like like we've been we've been hanging out for like three
months now like can i just ask what the heck is going on with your left arm like oh yeah i lasered
it off oh okay oh okay cool no follow-up questions to that please i think i've talked about this it
feels familiar that i talked about it on the show before, but great joke. So simple.
All it is is, why would anyone want to remove laser hair?
Oh, yeah.
I think that's funny.
I saw it on Twitter back in the day.
Brad, what else is going on?
I have a few different things to tell you about.
Yeah.
First one is just a, not serious, serious, but kind of a cool thing.
I had our senior high school senior banquet this past weekend.
With Gunnar.
With Gunnar.
Yeah.
So Gunnar and I lead a small group Bible study of boys who just graduated high school.
And I have been leading them since they were little babes.
They were sixth graders.
And so that was really cool.
Wow.
It's a long time.
Yeah. So we just got together Corona style and tried to, you know, somewhat social distance and
bragged on the kids. And it was, yeah, it was really cool just to see,
yeah, them go from, like I started this small group when I was unmarried and engaged to
Catherine and now I have two kids and just a wild, just watching them grow up.
Yeah. It's pretty cool.
I've grown up, you know, I feel like I'm the same person, but I'm sure I am not.
And so that was cool.
I don't know, nothing too crazy to add to that.
It was just a fun highlight of my week.
Sure.

Charlotte came over the other day. Um my Aunt Charlotte, you met them?
I know you know Aunt Cindy.
Oh, I know Cindy.
Yeah, you're on her family plan for a month.
Yeah, she texts me once a month.
So Aunt Charlotte, she is a very, very clean lady, okay?
Okay.
And to the extent where she was telling me a story,
and maybe you're out there and you're going to think this is hilarious and weird. Maybe you're out there and you're going to think, oh, that's
normal. I've done that too. That's not hilarious and not weird. But she said, apparently they've
been ordering all their groceries through target online pickup or whatever. And so they pick it
all up and they have been trying to tip people like the tip, the workers that give them all
their stuff. Oh, great. Like a urologist or something. Yeah. I would tip my urologist. What's that? What's that? I'm unable to pulverize my own
kidney stones. There you go. So, uh, anyway, so they, but they ran out of cash and so they were
like, yeah, we went to the bank the other day and we got a lot of cash. Um, and my aunt Charlotte,
like she's the sweetest, kindest lady, but she's so like, she's so needing to be clean. She loves
being clean and cash is not clean. And so she like, just like casually was like, yeah. So I was
cleaning my money and I was like, what? You cleaned your money. That's like a mob thing
for like, Oh, we need clean money. Oh, maybe she probably works at mattress firm.
Ah, I don't know. Um, she hasn't ever, I don't think as far as, you know, security bank retired.
I don't know. Um, but she's like, yeah, yeah i just put my all this money and she got a bunch of like singles because
i think she got like 50 in singles because it's all these tipping money um or so she says now
that i'm thinking about this um but she was like she was like yeah put it all in there and just
washed it all off one one by one put it in where put it in a bucket and just washed it all off one, one by one. Put it in where? Put it in a
bucket, a soap, soap and water bucket, a money bucket. Yeah. And she's like, you would be so
shocked. Like it, the, the water became black by the time that I bet it is. That's kind of gross.
I mean, yeah, it is very gross, but it's one of those things that's like, that's gross,
but it's not so gross that I'm going to go to that extent. So I was like, yeah,
Charlotte, I have to tell this story on the podcast like you you clean your money like if you're out there and you clean your money please let us know because i i just i've never
heard anybody do that yeah she said it so casually like yeah i was cleaning my money i was like what
i mean a lot of things are gross i mean i know that money is gross like but like every hotel
room you stay in is gross yeah like who knows how clean the silverware it really is after one like thing
in the wash or like using silverware at a restaurant like there's so many things that
are probably gross and she mentioned like specifically the bank tellers weren't using
gloves and so she's like so this money could have come in from somebody else that was whatever and
then come to me but i guess for me i would just wash my hands really well after i use the money every time i guess good for her for being such a like you know maybe ocd like clean person but willing to
push through that to still tip people because i would be like just don't just don't right deal
with cash oh yeah you would never think of her as like ocd she's just clean she's just like being
clean yeah so anyway she's great and i know it's it's sandy listens
to the podcast so she'll tell charlotte about it and charlotte will listen to this and so
yeah charlotte's the best she made me coffee cake and it was the best coffee cake ever
hot dog oh which my mom made me coffee cake like the week before so crap oh sorry mom i liked it
charlotte's better but yours is great too i'm honest uh two things on that one speaking of
cash went through the chick-fil-a drive-thru two nights ago and this is a different Chick-fil-A
than our boys.
Ward Parkway.
Oh yeah, the best.
Let's be honest.
Sorry.
Sorry.
And I go through
and they're like,
would you be paying cash or card?
I was like,
oh, you guys are back to cash.
And he's like, what?
And I was like,
I mean, I'm paying a credit card,
but I know for like the past couple months you guys haven't done cash he's like no we've been doing cash i was like oh sorry i thought
you had he's like wait what are you saying i was like i don't even care about this conversation
what do you mean by cash yeah i was like no i just thought like i i thought that you guys were doing
no which they were i know they were i know chick-fil-a yeah well the one the one that we
always the lenexa one was doing only card and which i thought was smart i thought that's what a lot of people
were doing but it was the most uncomfortable conversation just immediately regretting like
okay this is not worth it not worth it it's so i don't even care about it's questioning me i have
a credit card visa um southwest rapid rewards uh 4147 just like just shut up stop asking me about
it and then the other thing speaking of clean i just got
it i think i've talked on the podcast before i have a friend who we've communicated very well
very consistently over the past six seven years only uh four minute long voicemails okay just got
a voicemail from him today and he recently uh stopped working at a church and got a job working
in the cleaning industry uh for a number of different reasons just
kind of for fun and like janitorial cleaning industry yeah he works like one of the big
so he does all types of stuff like well clean schools or hospitals or just a person's home
and so he was updating me he's like dude the past two months have been wild he's like you would not
believe you know everyone's trying to be cleaner and he's just like the amount of money people are
spending to be cleaner he's like it's been nuts he said and also he's like just the crazy people
he's like we have this one like chemical that's super powerful it's like eda approved not even
sure what that means but it sounds like a big deal he's like uh it actually was one of the
first things that was found to like rid a surface of like aids and like it just it's amazing chemical
he's like we're trying to sell it to this guy and he says nope not strong enough and so we're like so we really recommend enough yeah
what do you have in your house buddy so he's like i want he like placed some sort of custom order
he's like i have my own concoction i want you to make this and it's a very similar concoction to
mustard gas so they're just like making it and they're just like cleaning this guy's house with what they think is mustard gas wait you can that that sounds so illegal like
you can't just be like hey can you make this stuff for me like like if that guy dies what's
gonna happen like like do they have to oh that's so the thing is can't ask questions it's a voicemail
that's all i can't ask questions and how can you voicemail. That's all. I can't ask questions. And how can you like, how can, that's crazy.
Like, how do you, like, like he's just going to give you this recipe.
Yeah, I guess.
Like, like dash of salt, you know, three teaspoons.
If you're feeling froggy, I do do a little brown sugar with the ammonia.
It's nice to get a little lemon peel for some zest.
It's like, what?
I don't care how you serve it that much but a parsley leaf
would be a nice touch what in the world yeah i was that's why i'm cracking up with that story
because i'm sure yeah so they're gonna go in like walter white and those like painter guys like
when they're undercover or whatever that fumigators yes you know and probably everything like that
gosh that's crazy yeah so next time i get a voicemail back i can ask more follow-up questions for everyone on the mustard gas boy yes please do um was those my things on what you said i think so
shout out to two different people in your family making you coffee cake recently that's pretty cool
dude being a new dad is like the best well new parent i think the mom does gets most of the
credit but people bring you so much food.
We have food growing out of our ears.
Pointy or not pointy?
Every day I'm coffee cake.
Yeah, it's just like, yeah, so much great food.
Shout out to everybody.
Shout out.
I could give shout outs to every single person that's brought me stuff.
I'm not going to. But shout out to our friend Gunnar Duckworth.
He's a man,
but he,
he's sorry.
I like you started saying now before I say anything,
he's a man.
Right.
This is going to sound sexist.
Now I don't mean to be sexist,
but he baked the greatest chocolate chip cookies I have ever tasted in my
life.
How did he do that?
Ammonia?
Maybe he had this interesting concoction that his friend stew got
no he his his secret was coconut oil and they were the best things i've ever tasted is that
edible oh yeah okay yeah yeah i hope so oh definitely mate i don't know oil you ever see
that old video cars run on oil oh my gosh yeah the uh the kombucha girl
meme that went popular the one that's just like yeah oh yeah yeah going back and forth
it's good what well i don't know uh all right shout out gunner good job i i want to become a
dad to get those coconut coconut cooks okay i i have i have really random thought
for you scott caldwell our friend the other day was like hey man you're a new dad and i was like
that's true and i i have a new thought for a uh tiktok okay it is just going to be me holding my
uh baby bow bow uh and it's going to be the good charl, the anthem. But instead of It's a New Day, it's a new dad.
Yeah.
That's it.
Oh.
It's a new dad.
Yeah.
That's it.
So.
Or just any 90s, any 90s or 2000s like ballad rock song.
Okay.
So what else?
Found a reason for Bo.
Change who I used to Bo.
Or are you listening Bo?
I don't know.
There's a place off Beauchesne Avenue where I used to sit and talk with Boo.
It'd be funny if you're singing it pretty loud and you look down and Bo's just got those big old headphones on him or whatever.
So you're like not waking him up.
He's still sleeping or something.
There you go.
Or like, if I go crazy, then will Bo still call me Superman?
I don't know.
Yeah.
I don't know that genre of music very well.
Oh, what about, you know this one.
We're going down, down to an earlier round.
Sugar, we're bowing down, swinging.
Yeah.
What about that one?
That's a good one.
You knew that one. Fall Boy.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
What about?
Well, I know the songs you're singing, but I don't have like the jukebox in my head to
like think of other songs.
Like Kings of Leon.
You know that one?
Have you heard of him uh you somebody someone like you
i don't know stuff like that so i'm just trying to think of one one song to contribute uh uh evanescence receding receding system of a down wake up
i don't know i i didn't like that music very much either so it's okay that we didn't know
it very well i did get into kind of the grunge rock did you not actually not like i don't know
it was interesting like on one end hated hated Chris Daughtry for some reason.
Oh, me too.
But loved Lifehouse and Hinder.
No.
Yeah.
Oh.
Hinder?
Hinder has two songs.
Hinder is so bad.
They have two.
No.
Oh, boy.
No, they're pretty good.
Those two songs, Lips of an Angel, better than me.
Lyrics, trash.
But like so catchy. catchy yeah the lyrics are
terrible like uh just uh the taste of your innocence and just like the yeah just my girls
in the next room wish it was you just just a dirty boy so like probably hasn't gotten laser
hair removal on his face you think that they redeem it by the music quality of Hinder. I'm saying I like them purely for like how it sounds.
Yeah.
And acknowledging that the lyrics are suck.
What about Nickelback?
Are you a Nickelback guy?
They're okay.
They had some catchy music.
Yeah.
But it's not necessarily, yeah, like the type of music I'm seeking out.
I used to like really, really hate on Nickelback, but I think I hated on him more because I
was like kind of a hipster about it than I truly dislike.
It's like a Shark Week thing.
It's cool to talk about it in the same way that everyone else talks about it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Exactly.
I was like, oh, Nickelback's the worst.
But in the back of my head, I'm like, I know all the words to This Is How You Remind Me.
That one's a pretty good one.
It is a good one.
They went downhill a little bit.
They had like some other ones that I don't know very well.
But here's a question.
I heard this on a podcast I listen to.
How many kid rock songs can you name? Oh, you asked me this already so i think i can name
a few i've asked you this already bar with the bar of course cowboy baby want to be a cowboy baby
and there's some american one or is that the american one you could just pretty much assume
and he had that song about the werewolves of london sweet home alabama mashup one it's like uh
singing sweet home alabama all summer long that's what it's called let's get to the end
those are it that's it good job thank you did you like kid rock back in the day
i thought ball with the ball was a fun song to download illegally on limewire
i liked him in joe dirt remember that movie never seen it oh really never seen it yeah Did you like Kid Rock back in the day? I thought Ball with the Ball was a fun song to download illegally on LimeWire.
I liked him in Joe Dirt.
Remember that movie?
Never seen it.
Oh, really?
Never seen it, yeah.
That's okay.
But I hear it's great.
But no, he's in it or his songs are in it? He's in it.
Really?
Yeah, he's like a random guy who...
Oh, it's perfect casting.
Yeah, it's great.
He's great in the movie.
Should we get to the voice memos?
Oh, yeah.
I think we have one, two, more than three.
Voice memos oh yeah i think we have one two more than three voice memos
action hi jake and brad this is aubrey from san diego california um i just wanted to say thank
you for being such a huge source of entertainment and joy during this quarantine. Although my number one is The Office. I've been rewatching it for probably the
10th time. I was just wondering what you guys think your favorite Office characters would be
doing during a quarantine like the one we are all currently in. Anyways, I love your show. Keep
doing what you're doing. Brad, congratulations on the new baby that's coming and
jake good luck finding a wife oh hi guys that was genuine good luck yeah thank you yeah it's
like people think i'm way more eager to find that than i am they're just trying to find something
to say anyway that's a great question thank you aubrey uh oh man there's so many different
ways you go with this i feel like creed is like somehow making a lot of money what was the question
sorry it was my dad texted it was what what do you think the office characters would be doing
during a quarantine oh that's fun okay yeah that's a fun question creed sorry go ahead creed
would be somehow profiting off of it.
I think he's like selling face masks somehow.
Like he, or he just randomly already had like 10,000 face masks.
Yeah.
Like somehow.
And now he's selling.
He's got like the N95.
Like he was like, he has some 3M contact, but they're not real.
They're not real N95s, but he's selling them like they are.
Yeah.
On the black market.
Michael started out quarantine with like all these goals.
Bless you.
I sneezed. He started out with all these goals he bought like perfect push-up stuff and like uh you know a home gym
like squat mountain climber thing like couldn't even figure out how to put the squat rack together
and is now uses it as a coffee table and loves it is now just binge watching tiger king and probably
like has a like a hairdo like a home home kit hairdo and like facial hair like joe exotic that's a good
one and he's probably way too into tiger king two or three weeks after it's like way gone downhill
as far as popularity goes i think there's a chance uh i could see two different characters
kind of doing this i can see different variations of kevin and stanley both not knowing there was
a quarantine like how stanley's so focused on his job he doesn't notice when like you switch
out things so maybe stanley keeps coming into work and has no idea that no one else is there no way
stanley would like he'd be the first one to be following all the guidelines and be like we can't
work guys we have to stay home because stanley loves being lazy so maybe it's kevin who had no
idea there was a quarantine or something somehow or he knows there's a quarantine but he's like
who cares like kind of like with the cupcakes when he's like no i a quarantine but he's like who cares like kind
of like with the cupcakes when he's like no i know i know he's like he's like i know there's
a quarantine but i love burger king so i'm going to burger king anyway uh oscar would be oh i mean
hard left uh you know on the political spectrum and just like we need more oh yeah stimulus money
we need to you know
he'd be all about that oscar would lock himself up until at least august yeah until there's a cure
yes for sure uh ryan would be saying hey even if there is a vaccine don't take it
jim and pam would just be quietly you know romantic jim would be very into the last dance
of course yeah we are jim um what about angela
angela and dwight we got to cover them at least yeah so dwight dwight's been prepared for this
for years he's almost excited right i've been used for my bunker right he's he's um just completely
living off the land that he has he's just going out and hunting every day bringing bringing back
his own you know food and angela is um I think depending on which season it is,
Angela might be sneaking over to the bunker.
Oh, sure. I guess I'm imagining
present day.
Because they still live
their lives. I think of them as real people
that are living right now.
So they're married and everything.
Of course.
Living on the land. That's a fun question.
That is a great question. I hope we answered it somewhat adequately.
A lot of routes.
You can go there.
Hey,
this is Josiah from Argentina.
Leaving another voice memo.
I was just listening back to your very first episode where you talked about
selling dogs and whatnot,
but I was,
I heard that you guys hadn't watched all the marvel movies and you said you
would if you had time well you guys most definitely have time now so i was wondering if that's
something you would be interested in doing and then reviewing each of the movies based on if
you like them or not i heard spider-man is more of your type because it's more
realistic and it's set in new york city and whoa so i was just wondering if you guys would like to
do that also brad last episode you didn't get much love i just want to say you're the best you're
really funny you're awesome and jake you too i guess but i hope you guys are staying safe and
hopefully we'll see you next episode.
All right.
There was somebody else that gave me lots of love for something.
What happened?
Did I just like, did you just get way more love than I did? I think the Chick-fil-A episode, I think we got a lot of voice memos complimenting me, I think.
Oh, okay, okay, okay.
But anyway, he nailed the Spider-Man thing.
That's crazy.
Dude, yeah.
Because he left that voice memo way before you talked about you and Catherine watched watched a spider-man the whole thing we've yeah so we've we
went through all the spider-mans one two and three toby mcguire and then we also walked to tom holland
homecoming one which is the best one the only one i've seen was the spider-verse one didn't like it
that one is the andrew garfield one no it's like animated cartoon one yeah i heard that one's like
awesome oh but i i've heard it from people that are pretty into that stuff so i haven't seen it i don't like spiders um yeah never been one and so
uh so we watched those and then we've watched multiple iron mans and then we watched i watched
the first half of the avengers katherine watched the second half without me not that offended
whatever it's fine uh but we're like mowing through them and while i don't i still don't think i love that
kind of stuff i do probably what i said first episode i guess that's crazy uh i like the ones
that are in like american cities like they uh like the avengers this this but the bad guy's name is
loki or something loki comes from some yeah alien universe or something like that that doesn't get
me going but because then it's
unrealistic right oh my gosh can you imagine like i can't even imagine that where is loki yeah high
key don't know where loki is loki he just came came out of nowhere and so um but i love spider
man because it's like oh that's in new york city i can imagine i've been to new york city i can i
can imagine a spider man i've been bit by a spider. I've been caught in a web.
Right.
Same with Iron Man.
Iron Man is like a normal guy that becomes extraordinary because he's so smart and makes this really cool thing.
So I think that's cool.
So I still go back to that.
But the reason I think we're enjoying them so much is because we realize that they are decently clean movies.
Like nothing's too vulgar.
Nothing's too violent., nothing's too violent,
you know, too crude, whatever.
And the bad guy always loses and the good guy always wins.
Like, it's just like, you always,
it's always a great good versus evil matchup
and the good guy prevails.
And it's just a fun thing to watch.
It's not super deep or dark or anything.
It's just like, this is a fun movie movie so even though i don't love superhero stuff i like being able to watch a movie with my wife
and not be like oh gosh is this gonna be awkward or is this gonna be too stupid you know or you
know too inappropriate or whatever it's just guilty pleasure no not even guilty pleasure just
pleasurable movies so that's all i have to say that'surable movies so that's all i have to say
that's it that and that's all i have to say it's just that good yeah i actually i know we probably
do have time on our hands but i haven't really been watching much if anything i've been very uh
all my entertainment has been very educational lately you watching me today i was watching
this new series just that's teaching me stuff the night other night I got into some World War II documentaries.
Oh, cool.
I don't know.
I'm in a learning mood now.
I like that.
Learning phase of life.
I like learning things.
I will say at the beginning of quarantine,
I had a video series idea.
I was going to watch all these movies I've never seen.
I was going to watch Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings,
Star Wars, and The Avengers,
and do like a movie review and try to make it funny.
And haven't even gotten around to that.
So it's a good idea.
I should do that.
Not a high priority, though. Short. Short. Thank idea. I should do that. But not a high priority.
Short.
Short.
Thank you for the question, though.
All the way from Argentina.
Holy cow.
What do you know about Argentina?
Son?
No.
Buenos Aires is the name of the capital.
They speak Spanish.
I believe that their Spanish that they speak
is like the double L.
You know, it's like usually like a Y noise.
Yeah. So instead of saying, ¿Cómo te llam noise yeah so instead of saying como te llamas they say como te llamas oh they say with like an sh como te llamas why do they do
that just in that country um i don't know if it's just that country i think there's other maybe in
south america as well but i don't know it's just like why do they speak one way in alabama in a
different way in new york you know i don't know it's just cultural regional
stuff do they have the coronavirus down there um like is uruguay in in lockdown i think so
good for them i don't know about everything i don't know i know that one of my friends
kevin mcclevane his parents are missionaries in Haiti. And yeah, they, I don't know.
They mentioned like the coronavirus is like locking them down,
but there's even crazier stuff going on in Haiti.
That's, that's not neither here nor there.
Just there's coronavirus everywhere.
It's all the same.
Right on.
Yeah.
Cool.
Wait, where are the Patagonia mountains?
Is that in Argentina?
Maybe.
Could it be?
I think so.
Sometimes mountains are bigger than one
country that's true especially down there i think so you guys like our podcast it's pretty educational
it's pretty fun yeah you're the educational one i've watched an iron man you should know these
things all right next voicemail hey brad and jake first of all brad congrats on your new little baby
my name is cassandra and I just recently discovered the podcast.
I'm listening in from Paris, France.
But I'm originally from Wisconsin, which you guys mentioned Wisconsin in an episode.
And Brad says a lot of people will tell you that Minnesota is better than Wisconsin, but we can talk about that later.
And then Jake apathetically disregards both states and says, let's not talk about that.
Who cares?
That hurt a little bit.
Not gonna lie.
So please finish that thought, Brad. Tell me what you think about my state. And Jake can go
make a snack in a different room or something so he doesn't have to listen.
Make a snack.
And yeah, the question I came to record is for Brad.
Minor store bot.
How do you and your wife pick the names for your kits? Sub question under that,
what made me wonder in the first place is, did you have to go with Robert for your son
after Elon Musk took the popular sought after baby name of X-A-12? Yeah. Was that devastating for you and your wife?
How did you choose your names for kids? Yeah. I love listening to you guys. You've been a huge
blessing during confinement here and I hope you have a great week. Thanks. Badger up, Cassandra.
Cassandra. Thanks for the voice memo. Like I said, with every single,
every time we talk about any state or city or anything,
obviously you're generalizing everything.
And so it's very dangerous and just,
I'm being facetious.
I'm not trying to truly generalize everybody there.
The people I know from Wisconsin
are pretty vulgar people.
They're pretty just.
I think you're doing exactly what you're trying to apologize for.
Exactly. That's what I'm saying. But I'm trying to say
Cassandra, I don't think you're a vulgar person
just because of these people is what I'm trying to say.
But that was what I was probably referring to
originally. I don't know.
My friends from Minnesota
just love Minnesota so much.
They think that Minnesota is better than Wisconsin.
And I believe them.
Mr. Steeze so
that's it but i i think wisconsin i've been to the west wisconsin dells you ever heard of that
yeah it was awesome it's like branson but maybe a little bit better honestly i've never been i've
just heard of him it's it's honestly like feels like the exact same thing that's cool yeah went
to some water parks there fun times uh. House on the Rock, Cassandra.
Check it out.
Frank Lloyd Wright built this house on a rock,
and it became like this museum thing after he died.
But it's actually kind of crazy and weird and cool.
So go Wisconsin.
On Wisconsin.
Go Badgers.
She asked you a question.
And then she asked me why I named my baby Bo.
We named him Bo because my dad was nicknamed bow growing up uh robert is a family name from katherine's family and hattie was just a random name that katherine
really liked that i thought was a bad idea and then random had no meaning no meaning louise is
her middle name that's's after Catherine's grandma.
But I didn't like it at first.
I remember being like, no, we're not naming our daughter Hattie.
And now I look back on it and I'm like, oh, that was the perfect name for her.
Hattie on the rock.
Hattie on the rock.
What's up, Jake and Brad?
This is Olivia from Southern California.
I am leaving a voice memo this week because in episode 52, when Jake challenged everyone to go to McDonald's and try to get one of the employees to tell you how their
day was, I decided that I should go and try it. So I went and basically I pulled up to the
thing where you order. I don't know what it's called. And the employee says,
hello, welcome to McDonald's. What can I get started for you?
And I said, hey, how's your day going? And the employee says, I'm good. What can I get for you?
Yes, every time. And I was really caught off guard because I totally wasn't expecting her to say that. So yeah, I just wanted to let you guys know how that went. And I love listening
to you guys. And also I have some more questions that i want to ask but
i don't really have any more time so i'll probably send in another voice memo sometime in the future
all right yeah bye bye olivia thank you for the question uh yeah i'm telling you it feels like
corporate policy how consistently hey how's it going good they don't want to know about you. All right, so I'll take a, yeah, every time.
I need to start putting in our Ghostrunner story,
even though I'm sure you guys believe me, but still.
Like, I just, I want to reinforce how crazy this is.
Yeah.
The difference in McDonald's and Chick-fil-A.
Huh.
Do it.
Do it.
Okay.
Next voice memo.
Hey, Jake and Brad.
This is Harrison Hudson from Utah.
Oh, what up?
My brother is Caden Hudson.
Jake's review of the week from episode 52.
What up?
And I was wondering what your guys' favorite Sunday night meal was that your parents made you as kids.
And yeah, bye-bye.
Bye-bye.
Great question.
I don't really remember days of the week that well, but I love breakfast for dinner.
Pancake night, hot dog.
Hot dogs and pigs and blankets and pancakes.
No, no, no, no.
Just pancakes.
Yeah, that's straight up.
Yeah, pancakes and white milk.
Love it.
Oh, yeah.
I love breakfast.
And bacon.
Back when I was pre-poultry.
Milk is so good with pancakes.
I love the combination.
I had milk last night with a smoked chicken thigh.
And?
Went down great, but after the meal, made my mouth feel very weird.
The milk and smoky did not...
I went and I bought gum last night on the way to pickleball.
I was like, I can't play with this in my mouth.
It was too much.
Interesting.
Yeah.
But I love milk.
Sunday night was a great family night for us.
I feel like
it was like you know obviously end of the weekend starting your week just kind of hanging out
together amazing races on cbs yes we watched amazing race or disney disney like had like a
movie on abc a lot of times growing up uh for whatever reason we had frozen pizzas a ton on
sunday nights that was like our thing and we kind of tradition or carry that tradition on with
hattie on friday nights now but um that's my favorite just memory i know it's a kind of tradition or carry that tradition on with Hattie on Friday nights now but um that's
my favorite just memory I know it's a kind of a lame answer it's not even like homemade stuff but
I loved it it was just fun fun times with family so Sunday nights thanks Harrison Harrison all
right next one hey Jake and Brad this is Olivia from Atlanta Georgia I'm on my daily quarantine
walk and a few weeks ago my neighborhood
tore up our tennis courts and I just realized that they're actually putting in pickleball courts.
I got really excited for a few minutes about crushing some neighborhood competition
only to realize I've never played pickleball nor I've ever watched anyone play pickleball.
I just listened to you guys talk about it on a podcast but i might watch some
youtube videos and try to figure it out though so we'll see what happens anyways my question is if
you could have anything come out of your belly button continuously what would it be practically
i would say wi-fi but i also think it'd be pretty cool to have background music that corresponds
with what i'm doing or how i'm feeling and I look forward to hearing what y'all come up with.
Seriously, though, love the pod.
My friend Kenzie recommended it to me,
saying it would help if I was missing conversation during this time,
and she was definitely right.
I'll let y'all know how Pickleball goes,
and I hope y'all have a great day.
Bye-bye.
Bye-bye.
That's awesome.
Shout out to whoever Kenzie is.
Thanks, Olivia.
You sound very pleasant as well.
Yeah.
You have some recommendations for
Pickleball YouTube videos?
You've watched a few of them.
I'm getting pretty into it. Just wait until Brad
and I start our own. Pickleboys.
Pickleboys tutorials
coming to you.
No.
Yeah, Pickleball's the best. They're doing that in, I just
realized, in Lenexa
Bodark Park.
Is that the one?
Oh, Sarko Park.
Uh-huh.
No, no, no.
I don't think it's that one.
The one on 87th Street.
It's like B.
It starts with B.
Oh, okay.
I don't know.
I don't know.
Whatever.
They tore down tennis courts, and the pickleball courts are almost done.
Really?
I found a pickleball Facebook group last night, and they were talking about it.
About 3 or 4 a.m. I found that. So that and so yeah olivia you got a lot of good times coming
your way as far as the question goes i really thought she was going to go the typical like if
you have any condiment come out of your belly button but this is anything typical question i've
been asked that like four times in my life oh yeah all the can of cook welcome week college
just a bunch of cheesy christian christian questions but yeah um anything can come out of your belly button
like wi-fi or background music coming out is such a vague like term too you know like like it could
be like emitting something like wi-fi or it could be like literally coming out which is interesting
yeah um i'm trying to think what do i want to come out of my belly button like uh
i think something intangible it's way more fun if you can't see it
right wi-fi is pretty great but also i don't need wi-fi i've got a cell phone with lte i pay aunt
cindy 95 bucks a month for that um do you have any thoughts i have thoughts that you pay a lot
for your cell phone service every month thank you you. No, I don't know.
I agree with you about the intangible thing.
Bitcoin.
I want it to be like a Bitcoin.
There it is.
Bitcoin.
Like you're consistently mining.
Yes.
Your belly button is.
Yeah.
Okay.
Bitcoin belly.
You're playing with the Bitcoin now.
What is that?
The Prince of Egypt soundtrack?
Oh, of course.
You're playing with the big voice now
remember that whole thing power of raw i should have picked up on that so much quicker um man
that's a good question i think the music one is a fun idea like just and it's like it's like a hey
siri kind of thing like hey siri hey belly hey hey button play. Let it be. Hey Belly.
Oh,
you want to give me a little John?
Can I get a little John?
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's,
that's good.
So just music in general will be fun.
Uh,
every once in a while,
like actually it goes off during church though.
And you're like,
Oh,
so sorry.
Sorry.
Sorry.
Yeah.
It's like the unedited version, like bend over. Like, you need to set you up. Oh, sorry. Sorry. Sorry. Uh, and you're having oh so sorry sorry sorry yeah it's like the unedited version like
bend over like you need to set you out but like oh sorry sorry sorry and you're having to bend
over and like try to quiet it like i don't know how to turn it off so i just got this i don't know
how to turn it off there's no wi-fi on it so i don't know i think it's playing offline so i don't
know i don't even know i can't turn it off right that's good good question olivia thank you good luck on pickleball yes
yo what's up jake and brad this is gabe from california uh question for you guys would be
what's the one thing you look forward to doing when you get to heaven it could be
flying good food meeting someone you missed uh yeah so So that's my question. Have a good week and talk to you later.
Whoa.
That's a little different than the belly button one.
I don't know.
I think there's very little we know about it.
That's what I was going to say.
Can we fly?
Do we eat?
Yeah.
What book is that from?
His name is Gabriel.
Maybe he's an angel.
The archangel. Holy cow cow sorry not not holy he's not it's not a holy cow gabriel poultry um i don't know i can't wait
to go to heaven and take a nap with jesus just have something be like really lame i do think i
do think about like i i don't know what it's gonna be like obviously no one does but i think it'd be cool if we do have relationships with other people i i
think it'd be really fun to meet and like get to know better my grandparents and like people like
that are unrelated to and that have indirectly shaped my life but just haven't i've never really
like gotten to know myself you know what i mean like that'll be really cool and i'm also just
looking forward to uh not having any knee pain anymore like i just i just hate like waking up every morning
be like oh my knees kind of hurt right now it's gonna be great not to do that we're gonna be
playing if if if i don't have knee pain pickleball all day hey no flying though that's not fair you
can't fly though anti-gravity pickleball yeah i think I see it as like a party that I got like a plus one to.
So I'm like, I don't even know who's going to be here really.
And I show up and I'm like, Derek Jeter?
No way, you're here?
And just like, that's going to be my favorite part.
Just seeing who's at the party.
Oh, Derek Jeter for sure.
Like Vladimir Putin?
You're kidding.
Putin?
You're kidding.
And not my old youth pastor? What putin went to vbs in second grade
not making any sense oh man that's wild putin really win win pre-soviet pre-91 billy graham
got you there no way oh i've seen that video i saw saw that crusade. That was good. I thought that was CGI though.
Tupac's not here.
Oh, dang.
He's still alive.
Oh, that's why.
Yeah.
So that's what I'm looking forward to is, uh, is that probably I do.
I try not to think about it.
I get a little freaked out by the only time that I think I've ever felt what I think is anxiety. And maybe I'm minimalizing what anxiety is.
But when I think about,
so obviously we have very finite brains.
When you try to fully comprehend
what something infinite is like,
it, yes, maybe it's not anxiety.
It freaks me out though.
Like when I think about something never ending,
like eternal heaven,
oh my gosh, I'll lay in bed,
just like, I mean, losing it.
I can't process it. Because you can't losing it because you'll you'll i can't
process it because it's you can't i'm like no it has to stop right and like but it doesn't it
doesn't stop i'm like no no but it it has to stop at some point and then it's happening right now
and you're like no but it never stops try to think of something never stopping jake's gonna need to
go take a quick uh cold shower and he'll be back just like it. I just so I mean obviously
Yeah, the logic of it I get because finite and infinite they don't mix but it's just crazy. So I don't really think about that much
It's hard it is I understand. Oh
It's okay
Hi boys
Jake I've always wondered is your real name Jacob?
Not your real name, your full name.
If you're trying to pick up girls in Target, go to the candle aisle and ask for recommendations.
And use your humor, too.
And also floss.
Brad, skydiving is definitely worth it, but Jake is right.
Do it somewhere cool.
I did it in Utah over the mountains at sunset.
I have a challenge for you guys.
Patagonia, bro.
No one can ever pronounce my last name, so I'll just spell it for you.
It's K as in kind, U as in ukulele, E as in Emma, H as in Hawaii, N as in Nancy, L as in lovely, and E as in Emma H as in Hawaii N as in Nancy L as in lovely
and E as in Emma
I'll tell you if you got it right in the comments
Okay, good luck
Bye bye
Gosh, I'm loving all the bye-byes today
That's a tough last name
I love the idea of me flossing in the aisle
while asking for candle recommendations
Cinnamon's probably going to be pretty strong, right?
Baltic birch really
that's what he is okay classic fur uh-huh yeah vanilla is just kind of like what does that say
about my personality if i go i love vanilla but like it's so boring that's a great like subtle
easy recommendation though go to the. That's so smart.
Ask for recommendations.
I'll spend hours there.
Wow.
Hours.
Bullseye.
Bullseye.
Okay, so we got... K-U-E-H-N-L-E.
Keenly.
Ooh, that's good.
Have you seen this last name before?
Mm-mm.
You've got fandom members with pointy ears,
so you're pretty honed in on on that that would be emma keenly
every day she's chuckling i'm going to steal the moon emma keenly uh okay what'd you say keenly
yes that's pretty good i want to say like it i'm gonna i mean obviously this is tough or
shouldn't be asking us i'm gonna go wild. You don't even pronounce the L or the E. Coon.
Whoa.
Coon.
Coon.
Something like that.
Something silent L-E.
Wow.
Okay.
Coon.
Well, there's a... No, that fullback for the Packers is K-U-H-N.
But you never know.
Keenly.
Never know?
All right.
Thanks for the voicemail.
Oh, if it's Keenle.
Oh, no.
I'm nervous about it. I think I'm close with the the keen part though i think i hear isaac upstairs making a
little dog keenal hey y'all nice i got some advice from a strange man off the internet and thought i
would call and shoot my shot with jake oh so basically yes i'd like to take you out on a date
of course i pick you up at your place open open the door for you, pay for both meals, you know, be a real lady.
Don't worry.
And on the date, I'd probably send in a conversation around, like, how attractive I think Tim Tebow is, who I'm voting for in the election, my wedding Pinterest board.
And we could talk all about my exes.
Yeah.
And after the date, I'll drop you off at your place.
And don't worry, I'll make sure to
hit you up with that text saying, you know, I had a great time. Hope you did too, spicy lips.
Yeah, I think it'd be a real great time. Anyway, let me know how I did, Brad and Jake. All right,
bye-bye. I really did not know where that was going at first. So if you're unfamiliar,
I made a video like how to get a man, I think like a very sarcastic video with a lot of those really helpful tips in it.
And so, yeah, Holly, I'd say 10 out of 10.
Dynamite.
That would work for me.
That was great.
You are shuffling into my dreams.
Life.
Okay.
I have passion in my pants.
And I'm not afraid to show it.
You are sexy and I know it.
Olé.
I hope we see him again soon.
Hola.
Hola.
I keep wanting to say olé.
Or Olaf.
Olé!
Oh, that was funny.
All the puns we would use.
No!
No-lay!
No!
Nola.
Let's go-la!
Let's go-la!
Yeah, good choice.
Holly,
very clever,
very funny voice memo.
I look forward to you picking me up and holding the door open and paying for
everything.
Thank you.
What's going on,
Brad and Jake.
It's your boy,
Patrick Scott coming at you.
A recent Corona survivor.
Oh,
kind of doing better now doing all right.
Just living the life of health.
Some people are calling me a hero, but as, all know, especially right now, on a serious note,
the real heroes are the ones that wake up every morning, go into work,
and then get a distress call from the commissioner, change into capes, and fly around by the crime.
Those are the real heroes.
But having them back to being healthy, it made me think of all the times back in middle school
when I used to fake being sick to get my mom to come pick me up.
So my question for the two of you is, have you ever faked being sick to get out of school?
If so, what were your go-to sick moves?
And if not, what are some moves you would do to get out of work, even though both of you don't have office jobs, to convince somebody you were sick?
But love the show. Love watching every week. work, even though both of you don't have office jobs to convince somebody you were sick, but love
the show. Love watching every week. Uh, yeah. What would you do to fake sick? Gosh, I hate to
they thank you, Patrick. First of all, that's awesome. Uh, I was hoping so badly that he was
going to say the superheroes thing, the distress call from the commissioner. I assume this is the
same Patrick Scott. I worked at camp with this guy like four or five years ago. Oh really? So
it's cool. He's listening to the podcast what up patrick uh i hate admitting this because
my mom listens to this podcast but mom one time i did fake that i was sick because i i don't remember
why uh but the the best tactic i had was we had like a cup um in our each of our bathrooms like
i guess for rinsing your mouth after you brush your teeth i don't really know why it was there uh but i filled it up with water and then made a vomiting noise and then quickly poured the
cup into the uh the toilet that's a good fake and my mom my mom i think knew mom if you're listening
will you let me know if you knew because she goes did you really throw up yes and and like when
somebody's sick you don't want to just be the person that's like no you didn't
it's tough and if if they are sick then you're just a terrible mean person and so i think she
knew and she just didn't try hard enough georgia leave us a five-star review and let us know brad
was actually sick that day if you knew or not i wish i had more to contribute to this question
i really can't remember a time where i faked being sick i think for the most part my parents trusted me a lot so i think uh all i would have had to do
is probably just say that i'm sick and i pretty got would have got to stay home but i don't know
i don't know if i ever faked sick i for the most part enjoyed school i'm sure there were days i
didn't want to go yeah yeah me too i was like i was more of a rule follower too i was like yeah i
need to go and i hated being behind in school.
I hated missing a class and then having to teach myself or be like, I don't get this.
Oh, you can go in tomorrow before school.
I'd rather just go to school.
Yeah.
From seventh grade on, if I were to miss school, then I would miss practice.
So that wasn't good.
Sure.
Sixth grade and before, if I stay home, what am I even going to do at home?
Price is right, baby.
You're right that's
all you do andy griffith jeopardy price is right news then the soap operas come on change the
channel then you go outside yeah jump on the trampoline there you go i almost bought a
trampoline at shields last week when i was there that store is just amazing i'm looking at it i'm
like okay it's not that expensive how big is my backyard it would be fun to have a trampoline
growing up yeah man i was always jealous of those people it was awesome not that my we couldn't afford it i
don't know why i didn't have one like i guess i didn't try hard enough to get one but did you
have like the little net around oh yeah did you oh yeah you like that it helped you um you know
you ever tried sword swallowing you know when you're like i just got to the dagger halfway
through and you're like i don't know if this is safe about halfway through about a quarter of the way through anyway you're
a little more uh risky with a net yeah i don't totally have a backflip spin triple salchow down
yet but the net will save me yeah okay it gets close to not saving you believe it or not i was
not a big um flipper acrobatist i was more of the uh you know double double jump people
sure well i mean you hated the ground so i thought maybe you'd try to get off the ground you know as
much as you could or get other people off the ground because i'm like you're welcome you're
welcome up there you're welcome welcome that's awesome well thank you patrick that was hilarious hey brad and jake this is katie from washington um love the podcast my son noah
listens too because of me and he left a voice message for you guys before i did so i thought
that was time to be changed um that's cool anyways brad congratulations on your son. Very exciting.
Is Jake disappointed that you didn't name him Jake?
Just curious.
Also, I have a question for you guys.
Besides that, what is an embarrassing moment that stands out to you?
It could be from childhood or recent.
Just curious.
Because who doesn't love to listen to a good embarrassing moment?
Anyways, love you guys.
Love your podcast.
Keep up the good work.
Bye.
Love you too, Katie.
That reminded me,
I didn't answer someone else earlier.
Full name is Jacob.
Jacob Garland Triplett.
Forgot to say that.
Garland is your mom's maiden name? Not really at all great grandpa's first name oh okay so yeah i guess no
the the answer would be no on that part yeah yeah but uh for and another thing not a single person
has congratulated me on having a friend who had a baby it's all you it's yeah exactly all you you're not
getting any residuals no coffee cake no hot dogs you're not getting any of the magma chamber from
my uh no no what do i gotta do 54 episodes with a guy you think one congratulations you think i
have a little more commitment in my life here huh uh no just joking just joking you guys are being
rude boys but uh embarrassment wise uh i guess
i could share something that happened today um i was shooting a video uh for a guy out in public
uh like a little freelance video everything went great uh we've actually already said goodbye we're
both getting in our cars right when i'm getting in my car this guy stops someone running like
jogging by and says uh hey so i I'm like, oh, does he know
this guy? I look up and he goes, do you know who this is? And points at me and says, that's Jake
Triplett. You got to know. You don't know Jake Triplett. You got to meet this guy. You got to
listen to Ghostrunners podcast. If you listen to podcasts, you got to listen to this guy. And I'm
just burying my head in my hands. Just like, happening why is this happening and that that was enough then he goes he stops a girl jogging by
too hey you stop too she's girls having to take her airpods out what i bet you listen to podcast
you gotta check out the ghost runners pocket and i'm like oh oh it feels so crunchy it's so
uncomfortable so that happened a couple hours ago, and that was kind of embarrassing. Because these people are like, what? Is this your dad?
No, not really.
Man.
That's mine.
What about you?
I don't know.
I shared that one embarrassing moment about putting my football pads on the wrong way.
Oh, I know a story you have.
You have that.
Oh, I know something that's really embarrassing.
Okay, so that one time you were really excited. You that chili recipe and you're really excited and you remember what
happened you can share that story yeah so i had this corporate job um i was working for cerner at
the time and it's like a soft healthcare software company and i walked in software development i do
software develop okay i'm but now i do not do it anymore. I could, as Jason Derulo would say, I'm writing solo. Um, and so, yeah, I'm like, for the most part of this job, like I haven't
really opened up too much. I'm pretty inanimate. Um, some people call me lazy. Like I, I just,
I kept to myself a lot. Um, and, but I was like, I was known for this chili. I was like, this is
how I'm going to make my mark. Uh, I, I stay up all night the night before, um, you know, pressing the tomato, pressing
the garlic, um, shucking the tomatoes.
That's not the right word.
Uh, and then I get there.
Well, the trick is to undercook the onions.
Right.
And yeah, the trick is to undercook the onions.
So you got a little bit of a crunch to it.
Skyline chili, the Cincinnatians know what I'm talking about.
Um, and so i get there
this huge pot i don't know i i didn't i didn't think to transfer it to a different device to
carry in for some reason okay and i'm gonna be real i'm a clumsy guy and i just i spilled it
all over all over in in the office yes really yes and i tried to like wipe it up and like
mop it up and it just got everywhere um what are we trying to mop it up with?
Um, an oven, just like pieces of paper, pieces of paper, like a little filing like bins.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
The, the, it was like right by the receptionist desk.
And so I was like, Hey, can I borrow your prism nanosport?
Because she doesn't use it anymore because she has a video iPod now.
And so, uh, so I borrowed that to try to swipe it up and um anyway it was just bad and people people just really didn't let me live
that down i ended up quitting that job started a bar um and that didn't go too great either um
anyway and now i uh do actually because of that famous uh chili thing i actually do uh
advertisements for chili companies so huh that's the thing, I actually do advertisements for chili companies.
So that's a thing.
How about that?
How about that?
Yep.
Thanks for reminding me of that.
I thought you were going to go like, no, remember that one time you slapped Catherine in the face?
I did hit Rachel Mustang in the face.
That was a pretty embarrassing moment for me.
I've told that before, too.
Punched her in the face. Well, thank you,
Katie. This next voicemail, it says
someone. This is from someone.
That's cool. Hey, guys,
it's me. It's someone from somewhere.
First time caller, long time listener.
I recently found
a podcast that I started listening
to and are forgetting through a few episodes.
I found an episode
on mattress firms and the
conspiracies surrounding them if you want to listen to the podcast is called brought to you by
i also have a question for you guys if you could be the president at any point in your
life for any amount of time would you bye bye smiley face okay bye that was crazy i have a few thoughts about this me too thought number one is
i thought it was going to be like i if you want to know more about mattress no i thought it was
going to be like we heard you have these conspiracy about mattress firm please stop talking about it
or we will come to your house like they were going to like threaten us or something like yeah i thought
it's gonna make a fake like i have information on mattress firm that's why i'm disguising my voice
but then i also thought you know beyond that why why it seems like maybe they
did that because they're like a little bit embarrassed about their voice and other people
have also been like i used to i need to have the courage to leave a voicemail uh voice memo it's
like is it a big deal like people are self-conscious about their voices now like is that a thing i
think it's always been a thing that's how my voice sounds probably even
more so back in the day because you couldn't really hear your own voice you know digitally
anyway because you have like your inner ear voice of what you think it sounds like then you hear it
on a video or an audio tape you're like oh that's what i thought it sounded like then you get self
conch but you get over it you figure it out you learn what you sound like in your head and then
you learn what you sound like on camera yeah right i loved that though that was really fun bye bye
smiley face i think
everyone should start doing that you know just uh but but different accents every time like find
like a you gotta you gotta go like for the pain app argentinian or t-pain yeah those both work
uh what do they ask uh if you could be president would you oh yeah i would not i don't think the
reward is worth it for me either. Like, why?
Why would you want to do that?
For notoriety and recognition and being important.
Yeah.
I don't think I have that huge of a desire for any of that in my life.
It's not for me.
Especially if I was given it.
If I had to earn my way to presidency, I would be so much more proud of it.
But if it was just given, then I'm not going to be that into it i think that's how about this though if you had a a period of time
where you had to be the president like looking back at our american history what time would you
choose for your gap oh man part of me wants to go for like the easiest gap because it's like
that nothing happened yeah like 18 we did great 30 um it was probably easy then i don't know though
uh let's say let's say when eisenhower was president i don't really know what's going
on there but he did some good things wait you don't even have a reason for why you chose
i just want to be like a kansan you know no i'm saying like okay saying like... Okay, okay, FDR, FDR. I think that'd be...
Obviously, that's a huge time in...
Like World War II?
Yeah, in history.
Because he was there 16.
16 years?
Yeah.
Really?
Yeah.
What?
Is that true?
I don't think so.
Let's look.
He was the president for 16 years?
No way.
Eight years.
Maybe 12.
I thought you could only do two.
You're only supposed to. i was close um 12 years okay yeah i knew he did more than eight yeah 16 would have been too much
16 they'd be like okay we're all right here fdr um well yeah i think he was supposed to go longer
and then he died He died? Yeah.
Truman took over.
Harry took... Anyway, that's a lot of history.
I think I would choose 1776, just to be the first.
Oh, yeah.
Would be awesome.
And get to lay the groundwork for America.
Yeah, that'd be cool.
And I get to cross the Delaware River in a boat.
With a dope wig on your head.
I never get to do that now.
Ever.
I've never gotten to cross the Delaware.
Never.
You know that's on my bucket list. Yeah, you want a trampoline, and I gotten to cross the delaware never you know that's on
my bucket list yeah you want a trampoline and i want to cross the delaware river with my boys
i don't want to have wooden teeth i want to die because i let too much blood out of my body because
i thought that's how you fixed wounds and illnesses back then okay good question two
more voicemails left and then we'll wrap this up. And here we go. Bethany.
Hey, Jake and Brad.
This is Bethany from Texas.
I just wanted to share a quick story and ask a question.
One summer I worked at Chick-fil-A when my brother was my manager,
and he asked me to go do the second mile.
Not a lot of people realize that there is a fresh ground pepper grinder
in the restaurant that you can offer to people.
So he had me do that.
I felt really uncomfortable doing that.
But that was one of the biggest pranks that I've had.
And I thought you would appreciate that since I work at Chick-fil-A,
where I had to offer people freshly ground pepper.
Super awkward.
Just wanted to ask y'all what your best pranks were that you either did or
had done to you i know jake has shared his pranks about um the ice cream story he's also shared some
with trey so share your best pranks i think they would be funny to hear more thanks guys for a
great podcast bye thank you beth Yeah. I've talked about the ice
cream one on this podcast on Trey's podcast. I talked about the, uh, we pooped in the guy's
litter box and convinced him it was his cats. That was a good one. That was a really good one.
I love the ice cream one, dude. Yeah. Ice cream was my favorite because I've never seen it actually
in person, but I want to do it to somebody someday. If I could go back to freshman year of
college, if I knew that I would do it to people all the time and we did 100 success
rate is so fire i love it because it's like double prank you prank the guy who thinks he's in charge
yes oh it's the best um okay let me try to think real quick to try to think of another prank that's
good that i haven't talked about publicly before um oh another one i thought of i did it this morning the one we do on
instagram every now and then like i tagged grant hudeberg and this post of this girl that we both
think is cute and i just tagged him and said you were right yeah it was this girl dude i should
i should play the voice like grant's gonna be a voice recording like 7 a.m this morning maybe i'll
put it in the podcast it was pretty funny but it was just like he's like her post was about changing her hair color to brunette you commented
you were right which makes it seem not only do i have this weird thing for her but we have spoken
intimately about how i think she would look better if her hair was brunette and so i'm i'm nervous for
what's going to be like coming back to me because i know it's going to be even worse yes he's gonna
he's gonna think of something he's gonna cross the line somehow and i'm gonna be hung out to dry but have we talked
about that on the podcast before yeah and how uh you made a little boo-boo with uh i think lauren
dodd one time or no oh no no no no she listens to the podcast we love you um yeah i i don't i'm not
a big prank i guess that shows that i can be, I guess, if that's a prank.
I don't love pranks, though, normally,
because I don't like being pranked very much
because it hurts my feelings.
And so I don't think I like pranking other people
because I'm thinking, oh, I'm kind of hurting their feelings.
But in college, my fraternity decided
they were going to do the greatest TP of all time, basically.
Like a native american home
cool yeah yeah so we had squanto and sachmo and sitting bull sakadu and sakagoi and so anyway um
yeah i had some like there were some guys in my fraternity that were like big engineering major
like like loved figuring out how to make stuff and so they made like these they love tensile
strength like those forks exactly they got so excited about ordering the right kind of forks uh but
they made like these i don't know these tools basically that made it so that you could tp
i mean it would go 300 100 feet in the air like so high and so we like tp'd the sorority and just
okay tp'd them better than anybody's ever tp'd anybody ever and
nice yeah it was one of those things i was like that was fun you know and it was cool to be a
part of that but then there's they have to clean all that stuff up tp's not that great it's so
unoriginal and then yeah they got to clean it up and then if it rains that night and then so we
then so we felt bad but then we helped you clean it up yeah and so i'm like why did we do all that
it's like people yeah you got to believe in like the art of the joke you got to go for it i know
it's not a joke but like if you say something and you're like i'm kidding though then they're like
well now it's not funny yeah yeah yeah exactly you can't prank someone and be like all right i'll
help right so yeah anyway so that was my prank i guess i'm i'm not a prankster prankster i don't
prankest
freshman year of college during finals week we got in a little prank war dorm on dorm action
i'm just now remembering and uh the first installment the first wave of our prank on
what he got was me and a couple friends what do you got what else you got uh they had a lot of
jokes you know as we got yeah flip the words but the um on our way we
were driving in from springfield one day and we just on the highway back to bolivar stopped and
grabbed several things of roadkill and just threw it in the guy's truck and then went to walmart and
bought a bunch of fish and basically just filled up they have like community bathrooms wait can i
go back what you can go back you bought roadkill at walmart what did you just say we stopped and
got roadkill off the road off the highway but they're in a truck and then we went to walmart
and bought fish oh okay okay okay and he's got a lot of roadkill on the highways um enough there's
at least one raccoon okay they have one less raccoon they used to i'll tell you that much
uh and so yeah it was kind of fun you know for the most part harmless more just like oh this is
kind of scary and puts them in a weird position what do you do with all these fish and uh so so
we'd like filled up the sinks like stopped them up and made it since yeah i'd like to think a
pretty good habitat for these fish yeah so you got like 12 fish swimming in each sink uh late
one night and then in the toilets is where we'd put the roadkill. So someone like lifts up the toilet,
go to the bathroom
and there's like a dead raccoon
looking up at him.
That was kind of fun.
And so we did like a different thing every day,
but they only retaliated.
And this is going to sound like I'm exaggerating
to make the story sound better,
but they only retaliated against me
because I was,
I don't know if I was just like
the easiest target,
but they stole all my clothes.
I didn't have any clothes for finals week.
And then as they were running out of my room
back to their dorm with all my clothes,
they kept dropping a bunch.
So my clothes are just all over campus.
Ethan Farr, Jordan Castile, Russ Miller.
I haven't forgotten about all that.
Stole all my clothes.
You're on my list.
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah, I could talk more about that,
but that's whatever.
That's enough.
Enough pranky prank.
Enough of it.
All right, last one.
Ohio Chili Club.
We've talked about chili a lot tonight.
What's up, Jake and brad it's connor
from ohio and in the last episode someone called in from ohio and said that they do not like chili
and that no one here actually likes chili well i'm from ohio and i do not like chili oh
yeah so my family does they all all really like it, though.
So whenever they make it for dinner or something,
I usually just get myself some hot dogs.
Oh, hot dogs.
Jersey Joel.
I didn't even know we were known for chili.
I thought we were known for, like, Ohio State and cornfields.
And presidents.
So, yeah, that's my two cents into
this conversation buh-bye connor thank you for the question man appreciate it uh and sorry you
don't like the chili and haven't endured that with rest your family liking the chili
i i learned from our guy steven swick that uh oh pretty dope, actually. Every state is great. I don't think we should compare them as much as...
As much as we do?
As much as you do.
Because I think they all have a lot of great attributes, and it's so impossible to compare
them anyway.
It's just...
Or no, you could compare them, but to pit them against each other is tough.
I guess not pitting them against each other, but just like he pointed out Neil Armstrong,
LeBron James, Cy Young, Ulysses S. Grant, all Ohioans.
That's pretty cool.
I didn't know all that.
I knew LeBron, but I didn't know Cy Young.
No.
I mean, yeah, arguably two of the best players in their sports.
Yeah.
Both Ohioans.
Both Ohioans.
Who is that?
Oh, Ohioans.
Ohioans.
Ohioans. Ohioans. Ohioans.
Ohioans.
All right, let's get on to review of the week.

This is the best podcast you will ever listen to.
You will never regret listening to the Ghost Runners like so many others.
I feel like Jake, Brad, and I are close friends, although we've never even met.
So many inside jokes in the pod end up making it an everyday speech, which I love.
The only downside is that no one ever knows what I'm talking about.

It was like so American to just like want to rollerblade with your friends and be like Apollo Antonono, right?
He was a beast.
Did you not feel that?
He was way more popular than I feel like he should have been for a figure skater.
No, that's what I'm saying.
We were all so into it because he was the best.
And Americans normally don't do that good at the Winter Olympics.
He had those little gloves.
He looked like a gecko.
He was good.
His soul patch, by far the best athlete who's ever had a soul patch.
