We'll talk about that in a second. One of them was, why, what did I say? What was it? It was a ketchup joke. Oh, why was ketchup only served Monday through Friday? Why, Brad? Because it was a weak sauce.
Starting point is 00:05:01 And then I had two ketchup themed jokes this week. Of course. They come in pairs. Yeah, right. And it was, two ketchup themed jokes this week. Of course. They come in pairs. Yeah, right. And it was why, this is so random. Why were everyone at the party on New Year's wearing ketchup themed glasses? Why? Because they had heard that Heinz site was 2020.
Starting point is 00:05:19 Wow. Oh, baby. Topical, edgy. Funny. German, kind of. Pittsburgh based. Bill Cowher loves it. Heinzy. Topical, edgy, funny, German, kind of. Pittsburgh-based. Bill Cowher loves it. Heinze.
Starting point is 00:05:29 Heinze Ward probably likes it. Heinze Ward. There's a joke. Yeah, Heinze Ward. Besides Patrick Holmes, what's Ketchup's favorite football player? Heinze Ward. Write that down. Okay.
Starting point is 00:05:41 Yeah. Heinze. H-I-N-Z-E-R-O-W-A-R-E. Patrick. My W.A. Patrick Jones uh yeah uh here's a trivia question that I think you're gonna get right pretty quickly what football player appeared in the movie The Dark Knight Rises Heinz Ward we talked about this because I thought that Gotham was in Pittsburgh you remember that I'm so embarrassed by that in hindsight. In hindsight. Oh my gosh. Yeah, I was like, it's got to be Pittsburgh.
Starting point is 00:06:08 He's Hines Ward's in it. I was like, I don't think. Why else would he be in that? I don't think so. Why wouldn't they hire Odell Beckham at that point? Oh, he's taller in 6'3". He would have been great. Oh, he would have jumped off the screen, literally. See that in IMAX?
Starting point is 00:06:21 It's like he's coming out at you. He's right there. He's right there. Oh, man. I could go for an IMAX? It's like he's coming out at you. He's right there. He's right there. Oh, man. I could go for an IMAX movie. Me too, dude. I actually, no, it wasn't the Dark Knight Rises. It was, no, it was just Dark Knight.
Starting point is 00:06:33 I saw the Dark Knight in IMAX. I saw it twice. They have like that scene where it's like they're in the basement of his house and they're doing like the ballistics thing with those shotguns. It was just like, and it was like every time you kind of like jumped up, but it was awesome. Justin, if you're out there, show us that clip. I'm just going to do Justin on demand from now on.
Starting point is 00:06:54 So if you're watching on YouTube, Justin, now. I think it was the Dark Knight Rises that I saw. That was a 2012 when I was two fourths of camp because it was the Dark Knight Rises that I saw. That was a 2012 when I was two-fourths of camp. Because it was the planes. It was the hijack the plane. That was the IMAX scene. It was just like, wow, this is awesome.
Starting point is 00:07:13 No, this is when I was in high school is when I watched IMAX. Different ones. Both great. Both great. Why don't you have your computer, Brad? Okay. So basically, long story short, my space bar is not working on my computer. Oh. Um, so I've had a week. Do you use that? So much more than you would think. And honestly,
Starting point is 00:07:30 I'll be honest. I think that the reason that it is, uh, it was malfunctioning. Like the thing that started it all was that I would use my computer at Chick-fil-A and it got greasy. Oh really? I think it's gotta be, I mean, that's the only reason I could think of. Um, but yeah, it was just sticking or like not working. So like sometimes I wouldn't be looking at my computer and I'd noticed like I've typed five words in a row. I've typed a hashtag essentially. Yes. A hundred percent. And I was like, I was like, okay. And it was like, Hey, you misspelled this. You know, I had the squiggly lines. I'm like, okay, maybe if I just right click this real fast, then it'll show, it'll be like, you knew that you were trying to say, so anyway, that's what I was thinking for today.
Starting point is 00:08:04 But it was, it did not, it said no suggestions. I was like, dang it. Surely you could see what I'm trying to say here. Yeah. So anyway, space bar was messed up. I YouTubed, Googled, whatever, how to fix it. They said, use some compressed air, spray it out. I didn't have compressed air.
Starting point is 00:08:19 And they said, if that doesn't work, then pop it off and see if you can wipe it off that way. And so I said, well, technically the compressed air didn't work cause I didn't use it. So I popped it off and I think I kind of messed it up the space bar key, but apparently the MacBook air, uh, keyboards are like kind of messed up. They have, there's like a known issue. And so it's like free to get a fix, but it's going to take like a week. Oh, it's a big bummer. She called Mac book compressed airs. Yeah. That's what you got to use on them.
Starting point is 00:08:47 That sounds nice. That sounds nice. And all the Apple stores are closed. So I went to micro center. Oh yeah. That was a great, it was, it's amazing, dude. Yeah. I texted you today.
Starting point is 00:08:56 Cause I was like, dude, cause I knew you had been in one kind of recently. Yeah. And it's an amazing store. Cause it seriously feels like it has not been updated or care to be updated since 19 or 2003. Yeah. Like that's a perfect year for it. care to be updated since 19 or 2003. Yeah. Like that's a perfect year for it. It's like old school best buy vibes.
Starting point is 00:09:07 Yeah. Like remember when the iPod, uh, video came out, that's when they were, that's when they micro centers like we need to change our aesthetic to this. Was it a poppin when you were there though? That's the crazy thing. Poppin. Yeah. Every time I've been, I bet since like I stayed in, I waited in line at the very front of
Starting point is 00:09:22 the store. I bet while I was waiting there for 10 minutes, 30 people came in. Yeah. So busy. It's crazy. It's crazy. And so, but I was like, it feels like the 40 year old Virgin store, like the people, the places they work. That's exactly like, it's all these people in like shirts and ties, but just that look awful. Like this guy had super long, you know, the guy, Justin Turner for the Dodgers. Maybe you don't Justin picture Justin Turner now He's like like long red hair this guy's long hair red beard like super long But he's got a tie on like holes in the back of his pants, but they're khakis. Do you go down a slide recently? Why do you hold your why are you doing that dude? Yeah, but it was it was great
Starting point is 00:10:02 It was like all these techie guys that were supposed to wear a certain dress code So they do yeah, and your ties have like a weird design they're like beige no some yeah it was like the tie that came like the shirt tie combo set you know or whatever so i love that whole like dynamic of four-year-old virgin the uh the black dude who works in the tv he's trying to sell the tvs he keeps acting like the butterfly scares him like whoa oh my god that thing that is too real that is real yeah it's lifelike that thing was jumping out at me right right so he's jumping back anyway so I'm getting that so I had a few different inconveniences in my week that was number one number two is that my credit card is like coming apart uh like the plastic is
Starting point is 00:10:46 coming out like i have a metal credit card but then the plastic on the ends is coming apart what you're doing with your hands kind of reminds me of the crotch of a tree would you say that's kind of what your credit card is doing kind of it's kind of sprouting it's kind of sprouting out okay so it's got the bark the season yeah and then sprouting out and um yeah you can't do the chip very well with that. And so you gotta, you gotta kind of like push it down once and then push it back up. And then you had to kind of look behind you. Like,
Starting point is 00:11:11 sorry, my is messed up. Sorry. My ex-wife took everything. And so, yeah, that's been inconvenient. Um,

Starting point is 00:13:52 year where dogs are passing on yeah i'll see this picture of like this girl with her dog i'm like oh my gosh that's a nice picture and then you read the caption it's like only knew sparky for four years but he was one of my best friends and And it's like, this is so sad. And no one would have ever known your dog died had you not told us. And now we're all sad. But now you've brought sadness into our life. I just think it's a weird thing to put on the internet, like your own Instagram of like, my dog is now dead.
Starting point is 00:14:21 We've established from day one on this podcast that we don't have a huge emotional connection to the dogs when we said we'd sell our dog for a certain amount of money that was episode one and i love dogs that's my second story is about how much i love dogs but i just let me know why you why you post that your dog is dead on the internet i don't get it like a family member a living person sure that makes. Other people in your life had, you know, valuable memories and relationships with that person as well, probably. And it shows like the time of life that you're in. That's true.
Starting point is 00:14:52 Yeah. You don't really have very many people that are like, oh, I really also had an emotional connection with that dog. Like if it's like your grandpa died, it's like, oh, I remember when he would come into town and we, he would take us all out for ice cream. And your grandpa was so fun. told us those fun stories.

I know one of them. I'll just start with that one I'm just kidding. This is actually what I was going to do I was gonna have like ten of these and say which ones are real which ones aren't but I just decided to just go with them
Starting point is 00:27:49 Gosh, I love sugar holler so much would never guess that one sugar holler. I can't believe it.

Okay. Here here we go okay um i need to think of all three at once that way i can say them in the same cadence you know so it's not like i'm gonna read your social cues so hard i'm gonna be straight up okay which of the following street names did the triplet family end up naming their street in Stratford, Missouri. 6-5-7-5-7. Just a second.

Okay, I'm sure it's lilac boulevard yeah yeah that's nice yeah it was two like kind of fragrancy things lavender and lilac thank you yeah i don't know why i did that that's nice oh okay anyway yeah i'll bleep that out because i don't know it just seems like a whenever we're at joe rogan's level people are going to
Starting point is 00:29:25 come from my parents you know what that's happening first yeah they're cancel culturing uh steve and trish speaking of catch culture catch oh yeah we gotta talk about it cutcha cutcha i made a cootie catcher no uh cancel culture is on fox news oh i know waters world that's this thing he does i'm waters and this is my world i've never seen that what are you doing i uh someone in my dms brought it up it's pretty funny there because i on my instagram story i put you know 2017 the today show yeah 2018 or 2018 ellen and then now fox news and they're like the irony or whatever of like in 2017 you were on the today show with matt lauer who got canceled and now you made a canceled video the guy on fox news i was like bars. That is good for you as well.
Starting point is 00:30:05 Yeah. Oh, but it's also been funny to just in my DMs is like there's a lot of people follow me who didn't know the Ellen thing. And so everyone's anything. They're just like, well, that's so cool. You got an Ellen. But then like the like older generation follows me. It's like, no way you did it.
Starting point is 00:30:22 Fox News. Catherine was one of them. She was so excited. There was jazz. that would have been like you being on SportsCenter Top 10 for her like that genuinely
Starting point is 00:30:30 like she was so excited she's like oh my gosh yeah she was so jacked yeah that's kind of cool that was awesome yeah
Starting point is 00:30:37 Trey and I would have never known there was one girl who DM'd Trey or other than that we would have just never known that's crazy too
Starting point is 00:30:44 like a three minute segment on fox news like you guys have probably been on you know every show i'm just gonna go america's got talent i think maybe the view the view probably talked about ricky lake i want maury i think you were on maury one time yes oh the swicks uh-huh kirsty's parents were on jerry springer what that's what i said on yes stage on stage i said this is a story they need their own podcast i said what i said like in the audience or like how they decided whose you were yeah and she said allegedly that back in the day it used to be like a normal like talk show likely story so what were they on there for um i got no more occurs their
Starting point is 00:31:27 bank paid them to go and talk about finances oh really which seems like a good gig and then they're like then they're like yeah but your check has bounced which one of you wrote the check you you are not the bouncer! Oh! No! Yeah. More or less, that's how she's... That's a fake notary! I don't know. This signature doesn't even look like me! It doesn't even look like me!
Starting point is 00:31:54 Jerry! Jerry! Oh, shoot. Look at me! Look at my signature! That's not even the same! That's not even the same! You think a lefty would write like that?
Starting point is 00:32:03 Look at my nose! Come on! Jerry! That's funny the same. You think a lefty would write like that? Look at my nose. Come on! Jerry! That's funny. Wow. But yeah, that's apparently a true story. Speaking of Kirstie and Steven some more, apparently we were messaging quite a bit this week and Steven fell asleep while Kirstie was giving birth.
Starting point is 00:32:19 I think that is hilarious. That's worse than Patrick Ewing. That's way worse! Yeah, apparently. Like while standing up holding her hand or like, hey, I'll just sit down for a bit. So originally I heard the story. I was like, you fell asleep. Like, how do you do that?
Starting point is 00:32:31 Like, it's like this huge moment in your wife's life. And you're like, I can't, I can't even, I can't, I am exhausted. She's like, you're exhausted. But apparently it was a long labor, but it wasn't as long as he thought it was going to be. And so he's like, oh, like the first one was like 26 hours or something like that. And so it was like a huge marathon. And so the second one was 12 hours, but they got there and he's like, Oh, we're going to
Starting point is 00:32:53 be in for a long night again. So he like fell asleep on the couch and like, he said the doctor came in later or whatever. He saw like on the, on the couch, like asleep. It was like, yeah, he must've thought I was the biggest deadbeat of a dad like didn't care about this at all which in reality is like the opposite of that this guy's not sticking around man yeah exactly he's not gonna pass the test he's he's here just to say in court that he was here right right just for whenever jerry comes yeah so anyway funny story i was like right when he told me that i was like you guys need your own podcast you don't need to be listening to us that's entertaining right there there. That's a great story. So I just love the imagery
Starting point is 00:33:28 of that. Cause I could never, I don't think, I mean, maybe if it was 26 hours, I'd fall asleep, but that is long time, long time. That is, is it, we can talk about this on the podcast, but is it, how much of that is pushing? Not very much. That's the crazy thing. That's the thing that I don't think I start to finish. Yeah. Cause it takes a while for you to be ready to push basically your body has to acclimate and get ready for the baby to come out and that's that's the way they put it in hattie's books hadley's hadley sorry had the joe had the joe baseball is finally back get in on major league action and swing for the fences with BetMGM, the king of sportsbooks.

Starting point is 00:34:57 Terms and conditions apply. From the executive producers of Lost. This place will not break us. The phenomenon returns to Paramount+. The only way we go home is together. From new season now streaming exclusively on Paramount+. I saw something on the internet this week, Brad, that I haven't really thought about much since,
Starting point is 00:35:17 but we should talk about it. Okay. Classic conundrum. For the rest of your life, would you rather be blind or spend all of it inside of an olive garden? Wow Right, it's not as easy as you think. Is specific olive garden? It's just one. You can't go from garden to garden. Oh my gosh
Starting point is 00:35:38 How much do you like seeing things and how much do you like unlimited breadsticks? I don't think I think olive garden is not very good No, yeah There's an olive garden in Olathe and it is busy all the time popular here like oh late like i'm from olathe and i'm like kind of embarrassed like why we have so many places that we can go why are we all going to olive garden yeah yours is busy too it's so there's a lot of employees because it's if not i don't know anyway like the employees are encouraged not to carpool if anything park
Starting point is 00:36:05 an extra car yeah park close if people feel like it's like kind of exclusive when you get a good spot when you're here your family that's right because you're so close there you go to each other um the answer the answer is blind you can't stay in one place no matter what it is like think about the best place in the world and i still wouldn't want to be there my entire life would you i'm thinking about it patrick mahomes living room still yeah i'm gonna miss him on sundays right alan fieldhouse i'm i love it but i'm not staying there my whole life it could be creepy at night oh wow what do you say what's your thought um i think i slightly leaned towards blind you just get to experience you could still go on
Starting point is 00:36:39 a roller coaster and kind of know what's happening well were you always blind or is this a new thing because that's a difference that big difference did we talk about this on the podcast or just and kind of know what's happening. Well, were you always blind? Or is this a new thing? Because that's a difference. That's a big difference. Did we talk about this on the podcast or just in general, like trying to explain somebody like the color blue? A couple of nights ago playing pickleball.
Starting point is 00:36:53 Yes. I was like, imagine trying to tell a person who's been blind since birth a color. Yeah. What do you do? It matters to anything. It's warm. It's like a warm color.
Starting point is 00:37:01 It's like, I don't know what that means. Well, you see what you're seeing right now? A lot of that. It's kind kind of like that but not quite as bad Like If I have been seeing for 29 years And all of a sudden lights go out at least I'd be like I know what Jake looks like yeah I don't need to see him age he's probably not going to age very well
Starting point is 00:37:17 I'll just imagine it bad Yeah Anyway I don't yeah it's got to be blind I think blind Because Catherine could probably drive me and i'd be fine i mean or drive myself at that point i mean you've had plenty of years to figure out the roads right oh man i think you'd be fine uh speaking of ala fieldhouse real quick yeah uh my dad poor guy i shouldn't say poor guy he finally a huge ku basketball fan we we all are in my family even
Starting point is 00:37:48 though i went to k-state it's weird and uh he for the longest time has been wanting season tickets and finally this year he's been retired for a year and a half two years and now he's like i'm gonna i'm gonna spring for the season tickets and of course this is the year covet happens there's a decent to good chance that basketball is not going to happen, whatever, but still can buy the season tickets and get his refund or whatever. And so he got like a time slot to like choose his seats this Saturday when we were at the lake Friday.
Starting point is 00:38:15 And he was like really worried that it wasn't going to work on the computer and everything. So I was like, dad, I can help you with this, blah, blah, blah.
Starting point is 00:38:22 He's like, okay. And he sent me this email that had this tutorial on how to pick your seat. And it was the most ridiculous tutorial I'd ever seen because it was a, it was a tutorial. Like it was just like a screenshot, like kind of like, here's your desktop and here's what it's going to look like. But it was this guy, I swear it was the guy from like the announced like PA announcer at the games. He was like, welcome to the Kansas basketball season tickets selection video.
Starting point is 00:38:50 Wow. Yeah. And it was like, it was like that the entire, like the, the voice was like that the entire time. Drop down the tool bar. I'm dead serious.
Starting point is 00:38:59 It wasn't that ridiculous. That's what she said. If you select those two seats, it's going to turn red and it was like that i was like seven minutes of that i was like this who who approved this who approved that like we should do it this way that guy just talks that way his entire life i'll take it it with a salad on the side for richer or poorer till death do us part jaywalk fans on your feet i choose olive garden i don't know like it's just like ridiculous it was it was amazing i was like dad how'd you listen to this thing he's like oh yeah i guess i thought it was kind of weird too it was like kind of weird. Like I've never seen.
Starting point is 00:39:45 No one else talks like this. No. Anytime. Any other time. Be like, Hey, this is the selection video. Here's how you do it.
Starting point is 00:39:50 Whatever. And it was, I don't know. Maybe I can screenshot it and put it on the Patriot or something. Um, but anyway, crazy. That's funny.
Starting point is 00:39:57 Yeah. That's too bad. But dad got his two seats. Uh, he made it work. Uh, so hopefully I'll be going to a lot of games with them this year. We'll see. That would be awesome. I hope it works out. Me too. I thought I was going to catch a lot of games with him this year. We'll see. That would be awesome.
Starting point is 00:40:05 I hope it works out. Me too. I thought I was going to catch the Rona. Yeah. But I didn't. Okay. I was unfortunately with someone right in the peak of their symptoms. They thought it was a cold at the time.
Starting point is 00:40:15 I said, I'll roll those dice. I want to hang out with you. Yeah. And then two days later, get a text. Hey, I'm positive for Rona. Oh, she officially had it. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:23 Oh, no. Yeah. Okay. I didn't realize okay yeah like tested positive had it positive negatively positive well yeah like her immune system was negative towards the like a positive test yeah in her bloodstream goodness and anyway so i would have probably had some symptoms by now, but I'm good, baby. Your body is a modern, you're a modern Marvel, dude. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:46 Like the things that your body goes through and just, you barely get sick. And when you do, it's pretty quick. And yeah, you're fine. I sneeze after a shower occasionally, but that's about it. Yeah. And that's mostly because you're doing it outside
Starting point is 00:40:59 and the sun's out. Yeah. I'm on Hicks road or Hicks pond. Hicks pond. Sugar holler. Yeah. But I, maybe I'm asymptomatic. Maybe I got those antibodies. Yeah, yo, it's me, antibody.
Starting point is 00:41:12 I mean, chicks dig a guy with a good body, and I'm going to... Antibody. Antibody. Yeah, so that's exciting. Funny things. This reminded me of it because you said the positively, or maybe I said positively, negatively thing. Hattie, the other day, she reads, quote, unquote things you may, you, this reminded me of it. Cause you said that positively, or maybe I said positively negatively thing, uh, Hattie the other day, she reads quote unquote to herself all the time. And she has this book actually given to us by the Swicks called
Starting point is 00:41:33 born to ball ABCs of, you know, basketball. And, you know, the only one I think that she remembers from it is chef Curry. So she's always talking about chef Curry replied. I don't want to do this and then he answered you know whatever and then i hear her go and then donald trump ran out onto the field and i was like what donald trump so she's hearing us talk about donald trump at some point i don't really know oh that's from the podcast oh that's from from your house oh i'm sorry that's from that was hattie saying that yeah no wait use the possessive who do we got here who do we got here okay use the word we
Starting point is 00:42:12 i didn't do an antecedent did i is this you and katherine in the home 100 okay yes i'm sorry yes so katherine and i were listening to hattie my daughter, read the book Born to Ball. Yeah. And Hattie was saying, yeah, Donald Trump. I was like, what in the, where do you get this? That is pretty funny to hear your three-year-old daughter say the president's full name. Yeah. That's pretty cool. Yeah. She said Barack Obama.
Starting point is 00:42:37 I remember when she was like a year and a half. What? Yeah, dude. It's his president's placemats. Martin Van Buren loves old Marty V. Yeah. Yeah. Good for her. He did something for this country, I bet. I'm sure. yeah dude it's his president's placemats martin van buren loves old marty v yeah yeah good for her he did something for this country i bet i'm sure president for four years but yeah she's being
Starting point is 00:42:52 saying that funny and then she says um like like her new thing she goes through like different responses like for a while she said yes instead of yeah now she's saying yep yep but even when she's like upset like hey did you hurt your your finger yep which is pretty funny and then yippers yippers what did i tell you about yippers yes um and then the other thing she does is she goes like like even if she's excited about something her tone is so funny uh so she'll be like, I'll be like, Hey cat, howdy after dinner tonight, I was thinking we'd go eat some ice cream and she'll go, okay. Like that's her tone for everything. I need a little something here.
Starting point is 00:43:34 Like sometimes, sometimes it'll be like appropriate. Like, Hey, can you go clean up your toys? Okay. But then other times it's like, all right, it's time to go. Okay. And you know, she's like excited to leave, but she still says it that way how do you um you just got uh furloughed you want to have a party okay it's like hey be excited you got furloughed that's awesome you're officially officially low furlile yeah i don't know it's like a debutante thing when you turn four how do you
Starting point is 00:43:59 we're getting a new dog okay does he Does he smile? Yeah, he smiles. Like, he literally is frozen smiling. Okay. Yep. Addie, we're going to a place that has sugar and holler in the same name. Okay. Anyway, old Addie. So she's cute.
Starting point is 00:44:23 She's saying stuff about Donald Trump and being upset about everything, apparently, with her tone. So we got a teacher. Tone. Tone's everything, Hattie. Did I mention some of my dreams recently on the podcast? Have I talked to you about that? I think so.
Starting point is 00:44:36 Tell me again. Maybe on the Patreon live stream, if you're on there. Oh, I bet that's what it was. Was it? Patreon.com backslash Ghostwriters. Because you had a dream about getting canceled. Yes. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:44 Okay. I guess I'll say it again. Sorry. It's not a punchline, but.. Was it? Patreon.com backslash Ghostwriters. Because you had a dream about getting canceled. Yes. Yeah. Okay. I guess I'll say it again. Sorry. It's in the punchline, but. No, it's okay. It's at the beginning. Okay. Had a dream that this.
Starting point is 00:44:53 Okay. I had a dream, which I rarely remember my dreams at all, but had a dream that this one girl was just like really going out of her way to cancel me and was like putting it all over her social media her instagram stories her twitter like this hashtag of like cancel jake triplet get him out of here whatever i'm like i don't even know what i did like i'm nervous but i don't know like if she if she has some sort of like blackmail on me or you know i'm like i don't know what's going on yeah yeah and then it um it comes to uh you know the the precipice uh which i find myself at an la clippers game classic of course they were just such a big michael oliva candy fan such a love
Starting point is 00:45:34 cory mcgetty a dream thing like every dream is just like what how does the clippers come up so yeah that's the random aspect and then we have the like wow decently creative subconscious mind aspect so i'm at the clippers game just enjoying my my time there watching you know paul george and whoever else is on the team play kawaii oh of course yeah of course uh my favorite island yeah not because of the kona no that's a city yeah it's a city you dingus um i'm at the clippers game enjoying my time.

Starting point is 00:46:10 Tweet at us, you know, hashtag Clippers fans in the seats tonight, and we'll put you on the Jumbotron. And then my nightmare comes true. This girl is in the audience at the same Clippers game. She puts the hashtag and also puts up like a picture of me. It's like, cancel this man on the Jumbotron. She's like the fat and also puts up like a picture of me it's like cancel this man on the jumbotron fat head of you like upside down like down with him down with cancel him and I was just like how did my brain even think of this because that's genius someone should do
Starting point is 00:46:36 that someone should be hacking these jumbotron yeah hashtag things to get their agenda across yeah it was scary they had a kiss cam come up next i think right and then uh it was like kiss him goodbye and it was you upside down down with triplet whatever and then i yelled back we went on two dates and it'd still be our first kiss thanks a lot yeah would have appreciated one just to help the confidence out a little bit. I'll be honest. Anyway. How are your dreams? Like in life. Dreams are good.
Starting point is 00:47:09 What do you want? I want a good family. That's it. That's it. Okay. Good family. Have a nice plot of land. Maybe on a rough road or so.
Starting point is 00:47:19 I don't know. Dreams are nice. Nice little townhouse on Gravel Boulevard. Gravel Boulevard sounds so beautiful. Oh, the old... That's what I would... If I could name something, I would definitely name it something besides road. Gravel Boulevard. Ooh, maybe there's an opportunity for a play on words with the word bull.
Starting point is 00:47:38 Raging Boulevard. Oh, sure. Sitting Boulevard. Chicago Bulls of Art. Oh. Yeah. There's options. Uh-huh. Yeah.s. Oh, yeah. There's options. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:48:33 No, wait. Yeah. Or if you're a really big Christian, you would be Yah. Yeah, I live over there on Yah way. Yah way, Yah way. We love to shout your name in this house. It's a Phil Wickham joke for you guys. That's a good one.
Starting point is 00:48:49 Anyway. Okay. Here's a random thought. Another two road trip thoughts for you. First one was this. I pull up to a guy in Clinton, Missouri, and he has a bumper sticker. He's, we'll say, 20 years old, little male in a truck truck of course clinton missouri is a little person no he's normal size sorry okay little male little little man like kind of like a he's he looks like he's out of in college probably he's a kid a guy in his 20s just
Starting point is 00:49:19 a kid yeah he's a kid you know when you get you know a little man has 27 you're like yeah that kid over there I don't know Okay, so bumper sticker says driver picks the music Shotgun shuts his cake hole Cake hole does that mean the anus? No cake hole where you put your sugar holler food Shut your mouth. I feel like nowadays cake means the behind. Oh, cake by the ocean. That is about the behind. Is it?
Starting point is 00:49:47 Yes. Dang it. Pretty much any Instagram caption, comment, or rap song these days about cake, it is not something you sugar holler about. That's why the song is called Going the Distance by Cake. He's going the distance. He's going for speed. You don't know that song?
Starting point is 00:50:04 I don't know what you're talking about. Top 25 songs all time for me such a good song wow early late 90s maybe great song i was listening to weird al then so i wasn't wasn't really on my radar weird al has a parody of it it's such a good song um anyway driver picks the music shotgun shuts his cake hole my question to you jake is why would you ever put that on your car like what like bumper stickers to me are like like i don't know whatever they're not i just don't get it i don't i don't do them like i'm i'm okay with my car not having much personality like let's just have it be a normal thing that i drive around i don't need to i don't need to put anything on there if i am going to put something on there it's not going to be that.
Starting point is 00:50:45 The word cake hole will not appear anywhere on anything I own. Driver shuts his cake hole. Maybe he's more in the minority. It's like, oh, so you're that kind of guy, I guess? That you're really passionate about picking your music, and you must have had a bad experience with a passenger being like, hey, I don't really like this music. Shut your cake hole!
Starting point is 00:51:03 Sullivan! I don't know. Yeah, whatever. It's just silly man i don't know yeah whatever it's just like silly what do you i don't know yeah i do you think that we're in the majority or minority of guys who like we don't have any visible tattoos right we don't put any stickers on a laptop we don't have any decals on our car right like that seems so normal to me but a lot of people do that or even it's very popular stickers on an algae I don't even do that. Yeah. Like,
Starting point is 00:51:26 it's like, let's just keep it as a water bottle. It's nice. Yeah. Keep it simple. Sticker doesn't mean anything to me. Right. Like,
Starting point is 00:51:32 even if it's something I love, like it could be like my dog who died. I'm still going to put his sticker on my water bottle. It doesn't do anything for me. No. Cause eventually that's, you're going to lose that. And you're gonna be like,
Starting point is 00:51:41 lost that. Just like I lost him that one night and he ran right in front of that car. Just like my water bottle probably did. Yeah. And so I just don't get, I'm, I'm a simple to lose that. And you're going to be like, lost that. Just like I lost him that one night. And he ran right in front of that car, just like my water bottle probably did. Yeah. And so I just don't get, I I'm, I'm a simple guy with that. I'll obviously we're, we're vibrant people. I mean, Whoa, hello. Whoa. He's coming right at you. Hello. Anyway, YouTube microphone swing. Um, anyway, I, I don't,'t yeah i just don't get it it's not my thing katherine has a small bear like a baylor bear kind of thing on the back of her car which even that i'm like good for you but i'm not gonna do that um but most i'll go as a license plate
Starting point is 00:52:16 because that's removable it's easy bumper stickers like my personality is just i would probably screw up taking it off and it would just kind of be the residue would be on there still. You know what I mean? Yeah. Some resid. Yeah. I've heard Catherine have fun with her bumper sticker and she always will say things like now bear with me, but I'm driving right now.
Starting point is 00:52:36 I'm like, well, obviously if the bears with you, uh, those are just some fun side conversations we've had without you. Oh yeah. Just me. Yeah. Just, she'll call me and just say, bear with me. And we laugh. It's kind of fun.
Starting point is 00:52:48 Yeah. I'm unbearable right now. Just got in my car. Whatever. Anyway. Yeah. We're so vibrant. Gosh, we're vibrant.
Starting point is 00:52:55 We don't even have it on our. You would never know, though. Look at that. Look at that. Clean, clean, silver MacBook compressed air. Yeah. I mean, it's one thing to put something on your bumper sticker that you believe in whether it's a political candidate or coexist or you know something like
Starting point is 00:53:11 my son's an honor roll student but the ones that are just like the the animated thing just taken taking a p on on like ford yes it's like, heck yeah, brother. Right. We got him. Chevy all the way. Brother. I will not drive anything but this Silverado right here. It's always like a 97 too. It's not like a new Silverado. And it's like a lift kit
Starting point is 00:53:34 on there and everything. And they just refuse to believe that they make them better now. I'm telling you, brother. No. 97 Silverados are the best, the best the pistons have ever fired.
Starting point is 00:53:42 Right. Yeah. I got a buddy. We raced. His, I kid you not, brother you not brother 2006 2006 still pretty new ford f-150 right down sugar hauler road i smoked him smoked him right off there smoked burned him actually burned him got the smoke on him and burned him uh-huh went went up back down before he was even up on the up down up down road up down funk you up up down
Starting point is 00:54:07 funk you up I was gonna go I'm gonna take my Chevy to the up down road I'm gonna ride till I can't see no more forward nice that's pretty kind of a slant rhyme did it I did it baby episode 63 64 that's what I said 64 there'll be more
Starting point is 00:54:23 64 there'll be more walk out the door so uh that was observation number one observation number two your cake hole dude should i be the title of the episode shut your cake shut your cake hole it's so shotgun shuts his cake hole cake is so gross for your mouth yeah i'm not even kidding when i say i've never heard that even used oh really yeah pie hole you heard that yeah so i think it's kind of like pie hole but just a little bit like less time to like prepare it if you're like a type 2 diabetic you go cake hole because you can eat cake if you're type 2 diabetic no type 2 is the one that's like onset because you had so much sugar like you acquire diabetes um okay so second observation
Starting point is 00:55:05 it's a pretty high level joke i don't expect everyone to get it not everyone's gonna get it maybe if you were you know like raised in kansas you wouldn't understand that kind of educational joke i'm a boy myself so uh you know we we learned that my mom was a school teacher i like that i could joke with you because there's not many people you can joke with that way where it's like they barely didn't get the joke and you can like make fun of them like i don't know not everyone's gonna get you know whatever like i've tried and i have failed to like poke fun of that or whatever i got it enough i knew type 2 diabetes was like the one where you just eat so poorly that you get diabetes yeah but i didn't understand why
Starting point is 00:55:41 cake was okay for that but pie but now i now I get it. It seems more sugary. Yeah. Cake's got to have more. Pie's got a fruit 80% of the time. It's flavorful and healthy because it's got cherries that are soaked in sugar in there. Okay. Sugar. Need some cherry pie.
Starting point is 00:55:55 Observation number two that I had, and then I will be quiet and let you say whatever you want to say. No. I watched as we were leaving. This is going to make me sound like such a city boy to you and your dairy farming, um, history of Angus, Angus, Angus. See, which is ironic because can't have Angus anywhere near me now. Gosh, Mason Ramsey. Um, so you see that video?
Starting point is 00:56:17 Yeah. The Burger King one. Yeah. It was kind of like, it was interesting. It was like, was not expecting when I saw that Mason Ramsey was doing a song for Burger King, I was not expecting it to be so educational, for one. And two, like visually, the music video, did you see that? Yeah, it was ridiculous.
Starting point is 00:56:33 It was kind of interesting. It was like, he's in real life, but almost everything else is animated. Yeah. I need to watch it again. I only watched it once. Yeah, I watched it with Trey in the drive-thru at Chick-fil-A, so it wasn't the best viewing. But it was like, this is interesting. That's like a big thing to people, is like gas emissions from cows, which is crazy.
Starting point is 00:56:48 Yeah. Um, but I do want to talk about cows with you for a second. I was driving home from the lake, uh, in rural Missouri, rural Ozarks and rural rural. And I noticed, uh, a cow bending over to eat some grass, some cud, if you will, I think is what they call it. And I thought to myself for a second, it was a skinnier cow. And I thought to myself, is that a horse? Nope. That's a cow. And so I've decided that maybe cows are just like JV versions of horses. That's my premise are like, like, cause my horses are this majestic. Oh my gosh. Look at this beautiful horse. I can name a couple of horses by name and movies by horses names. Right. There's no cows.
Starting point is 00:57:29 Like Bessie is like a default, but I don't even know if that was like a cow. They have the, uh, the cows on those little pieces of like red cheese called her name's Elsie. Oh, I thought that was just like a missing person thing. Like this cow is missing. We put on the side of this box. Oh no. Like help us find this cow. No, it's just a branding thing i think they're just like hey the cow made this cheese gosh what a waste of a summer what is called borebell barbell that's not what they are i didn't notice the board and no i don't know it's okay okay i'll think of it later yeah it's important that you remember that somebody out there right now is gonna be like no it's this bourbon it's whiskey cheese oh man okay okay so cows and horses yeah horses are nice sea biscuit barbaro war admiral right black beauty
Starting point is 00:58:15 right those are just four and the jockey was johnny loftus that's funny yeah um yeah i mean but cows can still run pretty fast once you get them going that's what i'm saying they're the jv they're the jv like they're still adequate they'll they'll they'll you know be competitive in a pickup game or something but they're not going to necessarily you know take home the winning price yeah maybe you have to say that like i don't know much about any of this stuff but no i would say here's my uh my just i'm gonna throw this out there i'm gonna say the median cow is better than the median horse like you take a clydesdale or a thoroughbred even a quarter horse something could make money off of
Starting point is 00:58:56 some way or another those are your high dollar is your blue chip blue chip horses yeah right but then you look at a shetland pony oh god yeah careful someone's probably died recently yeah i'll see it on instagram sprinkles shetland pony i mean they got stubby legs i guess that's cute if you're not into you know symmetry right and adequate proportions right if you're into mistakes from the lord you're into freaks like Isaac, who's 6'3", then yeah, I guess. How tall are you, Shetland Pony? 5'1"? 5'1 on all fours?
Starting point is 00:59:30 Okay. Stand up. But you take the median cow, and it's like that is higher. It's nice. You can get something out of that cow. That's fair. Guarantee it. Okay.
Starting point is 00:59:41 That's probably exactly true. I think your grandpa would say that. It's true, too. We'll get dave on the pod yeah i don't know i just type one diabetic don't don't know his enneagram but also let's go ahead and say type one type one type one type one wing two diabetic type one wing nine enneagram um yeah i don't know and so then the last thing is just like okay if horses are supposedly maybe better than cows are we missing out by not trying
Starting point is 01:00:07 horse we're not we're not going to horse steakhouses good thing you whispered it just you never know whole greg is upstairs i didn't want him to be like what are you talking about i was okay with him hearing the other stuff but not the horse meat thing not the horse not horse meat um are we missing out i mean surely somebody's you know i would dare to say someone's tried it seared a horse on there someday you know like because even in like a brazilian steakhouse you don't see horse on the menu no you don't see it you know spindling around the thing the tourniquet that's not what it's called the tourniquet the turn so it's tourniquet the turnstile you never see a a horse on like a world war ii you know piece of equipment
Starting point is 01:00:46 used to stop bleeding desmond dos one more god please god give me one horse one horse god please god give me one horse um that's a hacksaw ridge joke for you if you haven't watched it it's a cinema based joke yeah so spielberg would love it. Anyway, that's all I have. Those are my thoughts. Horse meat. But hey, their tails can make violin strings and something in them can make the glue. Yep. They're hide.
Starting point is 01:01:13 I would rather eat meat than use glue, though. I promise. OK. Yeah. I probably thought about this enough in the last three seconds. I know that meat is better than glue. That's where I stand. Maybe it's not white or maybe it's not dark meat maybe you could eat horse oh yes someone in the comments last week was like oh i saw you clap back yeah it's like you see so
Starting point is 01:01:35 some of the comments which hey i'm just messing we love the comments yeah please keep them coming but some of the comments they said something along the lines of like jake are you sure you're allergic to red meat and i said you think i'm not eating bacon for fun i crave it every time everyone's around eating bacon and sausage i was like no i promise oh yeah she was saying that um pork is actually the other white meat and then first thing i googled it said due to clever marketing campaign a lot of people think that pork is the other white meat, but it's dark. Oh, it's dark. Oh, let me tell you.
Starting point is 01:02:08 I've dabbled in the dark arts of dark meat. What's it going to take? Sorry. Finish your joke. No, it's not. How long is it going to take before you're going to try it again? I should probably just get tested sometime this summer. Okay.
Starting point is 01:02:20 I might try to find a doctor who can test me for a couple things. Let's get a COVID in there. Let's get an antibodies. Yeah. And let's get an antibodies. Yeah. And let's get a alpha gal, you know, allergy. But you do a package discount if I just get a few of these. What kind of bundles do you have? You know, while you're at it, I'm just curious.
Starting point is 01:02:33 Every time I eat a strawberry, I just like get fuzziness in the back of my throat, but it goes away in like three minutes. So can we just try that too? Um, and when I have pie, uh, yeah, whatever. Also, you're, you work in the health field when i play pickleball my knee does this popping here put your hand on it does this thing right can i get a test for that and there's a spot right down here by my cake hole um anyway i wouldn't say wiping is an issue but it's i don't look forward to it no it's starting to burn a little bit
Starting point is 01:03:01 tried wipes it's just too slippery. Uh-huh. Ended up wiping my back. Oh, goodness. It's going right up. Should we listen to some voice memos? It's probably about time to get on with that. We're an hour into this. Oh, Steez.
Starting point is 01:03:13 He's back. The old Steez. Back on the grid. Here we go. Hey, Big Daddy. Hey there, Jake. Big Daddy. And this is Mr. Steez.
Starting point is 01:03:22 I apologize for my prolonged absence. But I wanted to have you two consider a pretty important question, I think. And that is, if you could experience a story, so maybe it's a book or a movie or a TV show for the first time again. Oh. So you could just wipe your memory of the story. Good question. Maybe you had it spoiled for you and you just, you know, knew what was happening or perhaps, um, you just really liked it the first time and would love to do it all over again. What story would you guys experience again for the first time? Thanks guys. Bye bye. The originator of bye bye. Bye bye. Great question. I've thought about this a little bit-bye. Bye-bye. Great question. Steez.
Starting point is 01:04:06 I've thought about this a little bit. Yeah, I've got to go book. You really? Yeah. Good for you, intellectual. Thanks. Okay. Do you have a book in mind?
Starting point is 01:04:14 The first one that came to mind was a book called Blink by Ted Decker. Oh, yeah. Do you read it? Really? Yeah. Wait, Blink by Ted Decker? Malcolm Gladwell. What?
Starting point is 01:04:45 What'd you call it? Is it a fictional book? Yes. Oh, okay. No, mine's a, like a leadership book. I was like, that's an interesting thing for you to want to forget. If I could just go back to step four, maximize your strengths. Yeah. Yeah. The first time I heard maximize my strengths. Think and grow rich. Man. Yeah. Open my world. Uh, yeah, it was fictional book. I book I probably read it when I probably read it when I was still talking like this Brian Turnbow Brian Turnbow you never heard that before probably freshman or sophomore year of high school read it and fictional book but I just remember just being just encapsulated by this book it's so immersed into it just loved it read it so fast read it again you know it's never as good the second time but still just like loved it it's just a the main character it's fictional obviously and he has this ability to like slightly see in the future you know one of those things where you know he can only say like 30 seconds in the future or something like that oh like real quick yeah like he has to make a snap decision yeah and things are happening and it's all based in the middle east i knew nothing about middle eastern culture back then
Starting point is 01:05:28 frankfurt weren't a big fan of frankfurt yeah louisville yeah yeah that area of the united states yeah so it's just cool to feel like i'm learning stuff but also just be like immersed into this fictional world where you can see the future okay your turn so that was part of my thought is like okay i have to pick something that I would still enjoy today. Cause my first thought was like, Oh yeah. The greatest movie that I remember watching in theaters as a kid was remember the Titans. And I still think it's like my favorite, one of my favorite top five easily. And I loved it. I loved it. But if I watched it today for the first time, what I think this is kind of a cheesy movie, or this is kind of like, I don't know about this. Or would I still be like, this was the coolest movie I've ever seen? Yeah. Cause you know, there's a little
Starting point is 01:06:08 bit of nostalgia when you watch old movies from your childhood where it's like, that was pretty cheesy. And I didn't realize that now. Um, and so, so my ultimate conclusion, I think no surprise would be the TV show, the office. I think, I think because, because I loved it and appreciated it in its time. I remember watching on my video iPod, uh, when I had it back in the day,, the office, I think, I think because, because I loved it and appreciated it in its time. I remember watching on my video iPod, uh, when I had it back in the day, it was like, right when I got my learner's permit and could drive and went and pick something up, but it wasn't ready yet. So I was watching the office in my car. It was my own car, my 1988 Honda Accord. Um, and it was so fun, but there's jokes that I've, I mean, obviously I've watched the office a million times and
Starting point is 01:06:44 there's jokes that I'm like, there's no way i understood that joke when i was 15 years old and i think it's so funny now so it'd be great to watch it now for the first time so you can understand everything i've always said i want to watch the office with somebody who's never seen it before and just watch like it'd be so fun just watch their reactions to things so if that could literally be me that'd be awesome and i'm very confident that i would still enjoy it that's it because i would be very worried like what if you don't like the office anymore oh no you'd like it i know of course you would no that's a great answer i was just having kind of a similar conversation uh as what you were saying with uh jj our our guest from last week did a great job great job um julie davis
Starting point is 01:07:19 and we were talking about how so she's a big harry potter fan i just made that harry potter review thing and she was talking about how are we basically just talking about like how i'm just keep saying the same sentence i am always i am always gonna think that toy story is a good movie but if i were to see toy story for the first time now i'd be like uh kind of cheesy kind of little kiddie movie yeah and i think that's what harry potter one was for me just now because i just saw him like this is two and a half hours long. I couldn't really get into it. These kids are 11. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:07:46 Oh, it's such a good movie, though. And I'll just get on this again. I said it in the video. But what's it freaking called? Quidditch? Quidditch. The point system. Go for the snitch.
Starting point is 01:07:55 Go for the snitch. This is so stupid. Yeah. Why does no one talk about this? Yeah. We need to update this game. We need like, you know, like an iOS update on the game of Quidditch. Quidditch 1.111.
Starting point is 01:08:06 Yeah. Some sort of update. 150 points? Yeah. Who cares about going through the hoopty hoop? It doesn't matter. Just get the snitch. Get the snitch.
Starting point is 01:08:15 Get the snitch and win this game. Because mama didn't raise no unathletic guy. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, I couldn't believe that. That was the most shocking part of the movie for me is how flawed the game of Quidditch was. Still upset about it, quite frankly. How do you write this great of a fiction novel
Starting point is 01:08:35 and not foresee people are going to be upset about this game? They should have made it very difficult to get the snitch until book number four. No one's ever gotten it. Because then it'd be like, oh, it's impossible to get this thingitch until book number four. No one's ever gotten it. Because then it'd be like, oh, it's impossible to get this thing. You really don't even go for it because it's so hard. You just go through the hoopty hoop. Like, hey, we have this obstacle course where you have to climb over this haystack,
Starting point is 01:08:55 or you could try to find the needle inside of it. Up to you. If you find the needle, you win. But if everyone else goes over the haystack five times, they win. Gosh. Oh, okay. You just write fiction books. That's great. That was nice, wasn't it?. They win. Gosh. Oh, OK. I'll just write fiction books. That's great.
Starting point is 01:09:05 That was nice. I was immersed. Ted Decker loves me. Did he write another book that was really popular? Yeah. Like, I feel like I've heard of Ted Decker, but I don't think I've heard of Blink. He. Yeah, they're always like pretty thought.
Starting point is 01:09:19 No, maybe not thought provoking, but slightly deeper, like fictional books, but also like a level of intellectualism to him. He wrote a series of books called like red black and white That was what I was thinking like the color red in my head Yeah, yeah, and they were fascinating which that's another one of things like should I read that when I was in eighth grade? I don't know if I'd fully understood it But this guy what I remember he would go to sleep and he had these very vivid dreams Where he's like living out this entire other life when you when he's done dreaming
Starting point is 01:09:42 He comes back to his real life But he's living like two just extremely different lives. And then it's to the point of like, wait, have I been alive for a really long time? And which one's even the dream now? You know, he can't figure out which one's even the dream.
Starting point is 01:09:53 Yeah. Trying to figure out reality. Okay. Yeah. So then he also wrote a book called Three that I really like too. Okay. So some of those
Starting point is 01:10:01 are probably bestsellers. I don't know. I want to read more. Yeah. You know, I keep telling myself, actually my favorite podcast they just um kind of disbanded so i think so maybe it's time to get into audiobooks because i've been wanting to yeah let's do it let's let's let's do one as a podcast oh that'd be kind of fun oh i started a book club and then we could talk about on patreon audio book club yeah abc abc it's easy as reading to me hey and my speaker is a camry hey

He's like Nashville bar is getting in crazy trouble for how they're not social distancing He's like dude. I could not wait to be in Nashville really where there's no rules And like not know very many people at these bars and he's excited about that Wait, what like he's excited to go to the bars potentially or wherever and just be around people He doesn't be around a ton of people. Yeah, again. Yeah, I'm an extrovert, but I'm an extrovert with people I know.
Starting point is 01:11:49 Yeah, that's how I am too. Like that does not excite me. You and me, let's go to Minneapolis and hang out with Steez and nobody else we know. Yeah, he is so excited. It's pretty funny. I actually saw him just a few hours ago. I was planning on getting a lot of work done.

Starting point is 01:15:49 Pirates of the... Carrie bien. This guy made a porch pirate video about this. What do you even call that thing? It's like a fake box that these people would steal, and then inside it exploded glitter out, a glitter bomb, but then also shot this terrible smelling spray, and it also videotaped them. It was indestructible. It was awesome He's a lot lives conch inside. He's an old rocket scientist. He worked for NASA. Yeah, Robert
Starting point is 01:16:10 Yes, super super smart dude, and he made this squirrel obstacle course. It's a long story short I mean, it's 20 minute long video multiple people had posted it and I was like 20 minutes a long time to watch a video but then but my friend Jake, on the way back from a podcast recording, I think was like, dude, I meant to talk to you about this. Check out this video. And I was like, OK. Rainn Wilson earlier today said it was the best video he's ever seen.
Starting point is 01:16:33 But I was like, I'm not going to watch it. But then Jake Triplett says it. Jake Triplett, seal of approval. I watched it that night in bed. And then the next morning, like it was first thing I told Catherine, I was like, we have to watch this video. We literally like got ice cream, sat down as a family and watched this video and haddie loved it if you guys want to watch it when you're done watching this on youtube or go to
Starting point is 01:16:52 youtube subscribe to us we're trying to get to a thousand subscribers yeah and then go watch uh mark robber mark rober i don't know his name uh it's called building the perfect squirrel proof bird feeder fascinating 33 million views. It's amazing It's really like yeah, you have a new appreciation for squirrels. It's got humor in there girls are amazing I don't want to give anything away. Just watch it. I would watch that That's what I would show everybody because I truly think that people are all gonna be interested in that no matter who you are Yours is better than mine. That's a good choice. Everyone will love that. Mine is just one that's just always made me laugh i'll come back to it once a year and just re-watch it like this is a funny video uh the premise is these two guys older guys not like
Starting point is 01:17:31 youtube prankster you know what's up guys they were doing a prank you know it's just like hey uh we're doing this thing basically i've seen a lot of people mimic it since then but i think they were the first guys to do it where we should do this in the drive-thru or something honestly it's a great premise for comedy i write so they would do it in like a target or shopping center where i would write down on like a note card one item per page of made-up items and then i would give it to you you do the same and give it to me so we don't know what's on our you know quote unquote shopping list okay so then they were like hidden camera film them like hey you know talking to associate hey sorry i'm having a little trouble finding some things and then they would like hidden camera, film them like, Hey, you know, talking to an associate. Hey, I'm sorry. I'm having a little trouble finding some things.
Starting point is 01:18:06 And then they're having to say it out loud while they're also reading it for the first time. And so like they're having a tough time, like not laughing. Yeah. And then the humor is when they have to explain it, you know? So I'd be like, um, disposable slacks. It's like, what? You know, like you wear them once you throw them out, you know, just disposable slacks.
Starting point is 01:18:23 You guys don't have those, you know? And, uh, just stuff like that. Yeah. We need to do that. You guys have a hair dye for newborns The sons having a photo shoot and he's just not it's not defined enough So they did that I mean that video is probably eight or nine years old and I think it blew up So they've done several versions of it and they're all funny and so you think you don't think it's like professional guys though it's just like guys that are just friends that just like this would be funny to do i mean i think they had a youtube presence but i'm saying they're got they're like guys in their 30s or 40s they're not like yeah annoying youtubers i was imagining them being like early or late 40s early 50s like your dad
Starting point is 01:18:59 and your uncle basically i mean it's kind of what i think that would be hilarious if they just did this like for fun um i would definitely be down to do that yeah drive-thru would be a little bit easier for me and you probably too i mean for anybody because it's a little bit less awkward and just for filming purposes it's i've tried to do hidden camera stuff and it's just so hard and so annoying oh really yeah i don't like it okay um but yeah it could be a great drive-thru video so great question cory yeah thank, it was fun. Thank you. Hey, Brad and Jake. Dallas from Sarah here.
Starting point is 01:19:30 So just wanted to share an experience I had this week with you. I took on Jake's tip to try the nice guy discount. Oh. Hey, you're a nice guy. I'm a nice guy. I shouldn't have to pay full price for this. So tried this at a Chipotle. Probably not the best place to try it. Chipotle?
Starting point is 01:19:43 But I stepped up to the plate. That's not where you got. I looked the cash register person in the eye, and I said, Hey, do you do the nice guy discount? And they said, No. And the conversation was over, but I kept trying to push, and I said, Oh, do you know what it is? And they said, No. I said, Well, I'm a nice guy.
Starting point is 01:20:02 You're a nice guy. I shouldn't have to pay full price, right? And they look at me and say, you're a girl. Great experience. I might try the tip of McDonald's next week. I have a feeling it might go a little bit better. Thanks for the show. Always makes my Monday.
Starting point is 01:20:16 Bye. You try this at like a firework stand or like a used car. Like somewhere that doesn't have inventory. Yeah. They don't even have like a POS system. don't even know yeah if it got sold or not if they're like tracking their prices on pen and paper that's when you try the nice guy discount you don't try like uh a national chain that's owned by mcdonald's and then say that didn't work why don't i just try mcdonald's hey not. They're not owned by McDonald's anymore. Not anymore.
Starting point is 01:20:45 Really? Someone lied to me. Urban Myth. Oh, Urban Myth owns them? Urban Myth Co. Yeah, they own Urban Outfitters and Chipotle. No, I think they owned them for like five years or something, but they haven't owned them for a while. Oh, they're done now.
Starting point is 01:20:56 Fact check me on that, Twitter. Nah. Twitter. You know, Twitter will come for you if you don't. I hear. Whatever. For the record, I think it's actually the good guy discount Not the nice guy discount so maybe
Starting point is 01:21:08 That's why you're doing it wrong Go back to Chipotle Gunner was the one at least that he's the first one told me about it And he called it the good guy discount That just sounds a little nicer Like hey did you do the good guy discount I heard it from my friend Jeremy I saw him do it I don't know what he called it though
Starting point is 01:21:22 I don't know I thought it was Gunner maybe it was Jeremy We I saw him do it. I don't know what he called it though. Oh, maybe it was, I don't know. I thought it was Gunnar. Maybe it was Jeremy, but I'll get, we'll get him on the pod. Okay. Him, my grandpa, Dave, Martin Van Buren. Okay.
Starting point is 01:21:33 And someone else we mentioned earlier. I can't remember. I was thinking about this. What if, this is favoritism towards my family, but what if Hattie was the next guest on the Patreon recorded podcast? Sure. I mean,
Starting point is 01:21:43 we got to do one of these for the, every month for the rest of time. So, I mean, Hattie's going to get her time. She's going to get her due. Sure. I mean, we got to do one of these for the every month for the rest of time. So, I mean, Hattie's going to get her time. She's going to get her due. Yeah. So whenever. Dallas, though, thank you for the update. I mean, honestly, that's very impressive
Starting point is 01:21:57 that you went for it because, you know, there's other people around who can hear. Yeah. I would have never done that. Right. Maybe in a drive through. It's a little bit easier,
Starting point is 01:22:04 obviously, like we said, but face to to face or just when there's other people around who can hear you asking such a ridiculous question you know about the discount no i work here and i've never heard oh well it's a good guy discount you're a girl you have a promo code for that that's good guy one yeah that's bold sarah props to you um let us know i guess if you have any successes in the future okay one last voice memo hey guys this is melissa and kristen again oh we just want to make sure that i didn't convince you enough last time we're serious about this friendship thing so here's our proposition okay brad you talked about how you want free stuff. We don't have a lot to offer for teachers. So very unfortunate.
Starting point is 01:22:47 Education. We have priceless gifts to give. Yeah, priceless. But the one thing we could give you for free are some of our favorite children's books for Hattie. Sure. So send us that, Addie, and we'll get those right to you. Oh, I thought she was going to rhyme with Hattie. Totally.
Starting point is 01:23:02 Send us that, Addie, we'll get those to Hattie. Oh, Melissa totally missed out on that one. Sw a miss swinging a melissa my gosh no that's awesome um yeah there wasn't a lot for me there well you can read that she had 26 more seconds i feel like you could have thrown something my way leave another voice memo for next week look you know she's just the unofficial guest now. It's amazing how much he loves books. Like truly, I've never seen. I haven't seen that many kids in my life. Out of the ones you've had, though.
Starting point is 01:23:33 But my gosh, she can read books all day, every day. I really want that quality in a child. It's really my own. Yeah, it's awesome. Or it's sweet. My co-host child. Yeah. If not you, then your co-host.
Starting point is 01:23:45 Yeah. You don't want to get too specific on what you want other children to have. But my own children, I would like them to be able to read. I would love that. That's one non-negotiable. I'd really like them to know how to read. Know how to read at some point in their life. Hadley's the best.
