Oh, baby. Jake, I wish you could just see what my life is like. The juxtaposition of my life from good word to start the episode. Good word. Good word for a good episode of man. Right before this, I was literally putting Hattie to bed and she was like, she had this terrible tantrum, like screaming and like running around and like stomping her feet. And like, it was like, if people only saw that I went from that to like this goofy guy that just like records an episode in my friend's basement with him. I just, I don't know. I'm like, man, I can't wait for Jake to get there someday where he has some tantrum. Yeah.

Tantrum kids besides Isaac, obviously. Yeah. And for those new to the podcast, Hattie is Brad's wife. Yeah. My gosh. Yeah. She doesn't want to go to bed at 8 p.m. she doesn't like uh yeah she doesn't like the way I fold or put my socks in the laundry so oh man anyway so here I am uh completely different than you know three hours two hours ago when I was putting Hattie to bed putting your wife down and now you're singing Taylor Swift I need this there hey here we go hey hey he needs this oh oh oh oh oh I think that this type beat means that it's going down on some random thoughts on why why me two Two Midwest best friends Eating fast food on repeat

Don't say that! Oh my gosh. Too far!

Too far! Yeah, that's what that means. I don't know what the difference in any of those things are. Yeah, I guess that's more what I meant to ask. What does one mean more than the other? Is trademark like a phrase? I don't know. Copyright is like a book, I think.

Books definitely get copywritten, copyrighted. Someone's got to write them. Yeah. I don't know. I don't know. Registered trademark. Sometimes they're registered trademarks. Oh.

Like this is a registered trademark of the NFL. Cool. RTM. RTM. Of NFL. What'd you do this week, Brad? How was it? Week's been good.

My sister was in town, Dana. Oh yeah. You were very busy. It's hard to hang out with you because you prioritized family. Sorry. Yeah. What a, what a dingus. Or prioritizing his family.

Yeah. So went swimming twice this week. That's a pretty wet weekend. Not trying to brag, but I went swimming twice. My sister was in town with her kids. And then on Friday we actually went to Worlds of Fun. How is that? Oh, it was awesome. Words of funds, a amusement park in Kansas city. Um, it was great obviously because of the coronavirus and everything. Not very many people were there. Sweet. We had to wear a mask the whole time,

whole time. Not so sweet. Yeah. Outdoors. Yeah. I didn't do a great job of it to be honest. Like, I mean, there were times where like, it was so dead compared to what it normally is. No pun intended with coronavirus. And then like so there were so many times where I was like, I'm with my family only that I was with yesterday. We didn't wear any masks. So I'm not gonna wear my mask right now. Yeah. But when we were in lines and passing other people and stuff, I'd throw on the old the old N93.

Oh, is that one good? N64. Sorry. Yes, it's fine good? N64, sorry. Yes. It's fine. I mean, you have to blow on it every once in a while to get it to work and everything. Yeah, sure. But yeah, I love amusement parks.

And I think that Worlds of Fun's pretty decent as far as amusement parks go. It's not a Six Flags or something like that, but it's got good rides. It's got the Detonator. I remember that one. Yeah, the Detonator, the Patriot. You go on the Patriot.

The Patriot's the one that gives you, like you have to do concussion protocol when you're done with it. Right. Is that the Patriot? No, that's a Timberwolf. Timberwolf is the one that's like, it jostles you around. So yeah, I went with my two sisters and their kids. And then one of my sisters, husbands and my dad and the kids were both seven years old. And so they're like just on the cusp of like tall enough to ride, but pretty scared to ride. But yeah, one of my nephews rode the Timberwolf multiple times

and I rode it with them the first time. So I was like, I got to make sure that he enjoys this. And so I was like screaming the whole time. Like, yeah, this is awesome. And at the very end, like I felt it like pop my back like four times. Oh my gosh.

Like it was like intense. The Patriot's the one that's like the Batman in Six Flags. Oh were feet dangle yes but I think it's so much better than the bat I think it's like the best ride ever whoa I do I need I don't think I've ever ridden that somehow I've been to worlds of fun and not have my legs have you been any time recently no because it was like 2009 maybe that it was so if you were like as a kid you might not have gone on it but I don't even know when I've been there oh man now I'm just imagining i take lauren dagle to let our legs dangle oh dangle dangle dangle dangle dangle that would be sweet that sounds nice yeah hashtag dangle dangle you could you just put that on your on your instagram post about it people would know

how do you feel about people posting uh on their instagram about things they did like the day after. That's fine. I think I like it. Yeah. I've just noticed that that's like a new trend. Like no one, it used to be like you literally post, like when we were in college, I guess you literally post like while you're at the date party, you post the picture. Oh, I see. Like maybe like you post it on your way there, like in the bus, you know, whatever. And now it's like, you don't post it till the next day.

And I know you got to edit it. You got to think of your caption. You know, it's a process. And I appreciate, hopefully that means that people are more, I probably not, but the optimism is like, Hey, people are way more into the actual being there and being at the event. And then when they get home, they get on their phones. Cause I'm not, I'm sure they're not on their phones at all. No, no, no. So they never are. Yeah. Anyway. Yeah. No, I think that's fine. Back to N64s, the type of mask and video game. Yeah. They were the best. They were the best.

Right? Yeah. Could you rent it from a family video or was it like PlayStation by then? I like the games. Oh, oh, oh. Could you rent N64 games? Yeah, I rented. That's what I said last week.

I rented Excitebike on N64 back in the day. Excitebike. I don't remember which other ones. Goldeneye was like the best in 64 games. I actually made, I loved, I watched our episode today. It's the first thing I do on Monday mornings, as should you. Episode 67. Episode 67.

And it was awesome. And I like got so pumped when you would even like, again, when you were talking about the family video stuff. a late the off black Bob in Olathe off black Bob and so I wrote down Six different things about 90s nostalgia that I thought were kind of on the same level as that Number one was blowing on the game and it working Yeah, I still blow on stuff SD cards when I get I blow in the cartridge and on the SD card

What could that possibly be doing for me no but I can't help it I still blow I had a wireless mouse the other day that wasn't working and I like took it apart and I was like this looks fine and I blew on it and turned it back on and it worked yeah so a lot of things can be solved by blowing it's just air baby yeah um so that was number one number two is when like the sound or the notification of somebody getting on instant messenger and it's your crush It's like oh Elise Wilson is here. Yes awesome at least Yeah, she's cute. She Burnett. Uh she was blonde dirty blonde. Oh, yeah, okay dirty blonde How tall was she she was taller? It's a five

Nine she played volleyball. No, she's cheerleader. Gosh getting all this taller. I would say five, nine. She played volleyball? No, she was a cheerleader. Gosh, I'm getting all this wrong. I have a specific girl in mind for me. So, you know, don't worry about it. I just knew like, hey, it would never work out because then her name would be Elise Ellis. Elise Ellis? Elise Ellis. That's not good.

Okay. How big was her backyard? Huge. If you know what I'm saying. No, just kidding. The dumper. No, huge. She lived like out in the country.

That's awesome. Yeah. Dogs? Probably. how's her relationship with her parents great good relationship that's strong yeah yeah uh she ever asked you your instagram number no that's awesome yeah she really cared about who i was she was a catch she was a catch no one who got away uh from me but i was yeah you get so excited your crush gets on there yeah like sometimes you'd be like sleeping over with your friends and like you'd be the one logged in for like that hour like hey let me log in let me get in there or then you see your crush get on you're like hey you log out i'll log i need to get in yeah yeah um and then you send her that that classic opener you say hey some guys have a foot fetish and you just kind of see what happens i thought that was great watching that one again too was like oh my god i can't believe that thought that was great. Watching that one again, too, is like, oh, my God, I can't believe that.

Oh, that's that's a that's a what's it called? A long shot. Not the long shot. That's a daring thing to do, even if you are going to follow it up. That was that's not like a normal thing you send to somebody ever. I trusted my Internet in a time that I shouldn't have. I was like, I'm just go bang bang real quick here. Oh, my God.

Yeah. Listen, last week's episode, if you don't know what we're talking about. Yeah. Right. They're like, what are you guys talking about? Um, okay.

Number three, uh, waking up and hearing that you have a snow day. That, that is one of the best feelings in the world. Hard to replace. I don't know. Like I've been married and there's been great things.

I've had a kid, but I don't know if I've ever had a higher high than when you wake up and your mom says, Hey, you can go back to sleep. It's a snow day. Oh my gosh. Then you're so excited. You can't sleep. It's so bright outside. How am I supposed to fall asleep now? Oh my gosh. Or even better. If they tell you the night before, like if you, if they get canceled at like 10 o'clock right before you're supposed to go to bed. Oh yeah. like 10 or 10 30 you've been watching that bottom line on the news for like 10 15 minutes strafford's not coming up you know it goes right from stockton to thayer like oh come on that's that's one of the worst feelings in the world when you don't get it stockton's 15 miles away what how bad

could it be snowing there that it's not here well i would tell me did strafford get more or less often because of its small like small town thing like i would assume more often yeah that's where i was because buses had to go like okay out in the country right and it was hard yeah yeah that's awesome so we got a lot of snow days some days if it was like the wind was blowing like from the northeast they just cancel it it just is a little windy yeah that might tip over when old miss genie comes out to pick you up yeah i feel like by the end of high school, it did not take much. Really?

You know what? That's probably fine. That's how it is these days. It's like, yeah, I think it's supposed to snow. And so we're going to cancel it preemptively. And it doesn't snow. And it's like there you can't uncancel. When I went to college, SBU had apparently never canceled school because that's what

I heard, too, when you got to college. Oh, yeah. They just don't cancel. Yeah. And then first semester freshman year, they were calling for a big storm and I still remember taking a picture of what outside looked like when school was canceled because there was nothing really they canceled it preemptively for the first time ever and it did end up snowing a lot but I'm like you could you guys really trust the meteorologist right can meteor there's they're

wrong all the time yeah like if they get it right half the time they're they're good at their job but anyway um that's yeah the school like you would yeah you'd stay up as long as you could and your parents finally tell you you got to go to bed but you're like i want to stay up because i want i know strafford's coming like i know it's gonna get announced and i want to be awake when i hear it oh man because yeah going to bed knowing like it's a great feeling wow the nerd in me like the goody two-shoes in me kind of loved it that if it came in late enough where I'd already done my homework, cause then it's like, Oh, I don't have to worry about my homework anymore. I got a free day. Like if it came in at like seven, I'd be like, Oh, I'm not gonna do my homework until tomorrow. So that's always nice too. Um, okay. Uh, number

four that I put down, uh, and this, I don't know if this is gonna be relatable to you or not as far as sports go, but, um, our sports teams, we always had one set of parents every single game. It was a different set of parents that had to bring drinks and like snacks after the game. Did you guys do that in like high school? No, I'm sorry. This is like growing up, like a elementary school. That sounds right.

Like someone can see red. Like someone was in charge of. Yeah. Yeah. That sounds right. I'm sure we did that. And like some moms, you're like, oh yeah, they're going to bring like the little juice boxes that you get like two sips of. Yeah. Yeah. That sounds right. I'm sure we did that. And like some moms, you're like, oh yeah, they're going to bring like the little juice boxes that you get like two sips of.

Yeah. But then it's the other ones. It's like, oh, Miss Johnston is on it tonight. Heck yeah. Like we're getting full cans and we're getting like the little Debbie's that get you two in each. Yeah. You know, that's a good point.

So whenever you see that, that's, that's my next one. It's just like, when you know that it's that parent, I get excited. Oh yeah. Like Elise. I mean, you've seen Elise's backyard. Right backyard right her mom's her mom brings gushers yes you're gonna want her on your team absolutely every fourth wednesday 100 yeah that's a good memory how do you think of all these things i don't know it took me two minutes to think of these six things and then i kind of hit a block and i didn't think of anymore okay um the fifth one is when your cd completes burning

when it's like you make that noise it'd be like whatever and you'd be like oh and you listen to it like you didn't know what you just put on it yep that's what i put as the first song it knew it you know we had like a pack of like 50 of those cdrs and we like cdrws no just cdrs we cdrws those are more expensive read right though You could burn onto them. Well, rewritable is what I thought they were. Rewrite? Oh. Rewrite?

Rewrite? I thought, so in computers, reading is just like reading data from it, but writing means you can replace the data with new data. Maybe RW did sound for rewritable, too, though. Who knows? Because CDRs were the ones that were the cheaper ones. You get $100 for $writable too, though. Who knows? CDRs were the ones that were cheaper ones. Like you get a hundred for like 15 bucks or whatever. Good margins.

RW though were more expensive. And I thought it was because you could like burn it and then re-burn it. Maybe. Re-burn. Should have been CDR RB. Or re-burn. Or RB. Anyway.

Yeah. But you just get, I had, I had CDRs or, you know, burn discs for every single mood, like a pump up disc. Yeah. For, for the baseball team or whatever the on the way to elise's house sleep right like romantic with elise congratulations if you're listening to this you've been seduced by michael scott you are a very lucky woman oh my gosh yes exactly oh man i got one for you okay did you ever get

into pokemon i told you one time that i got into uh trading them because i got i had a hookup from joseph at the alley giving me the free cards but no i never actually played yeah i never played either but there was a brief time i got into it and whenever you find out you have a holographic card oh i would lose my mind yes dude just just yeah just the the feeling of like opening that opening that card pack and looking through it. There's so much opportunity and hope when you open it up. Yeah, the anticipation is almost better than any result you could have gotten. Because I also collected sports cards, and it was the same idea.

Like, oh, please give me King Griffey Jr. Please, Mike Piazza. Just something. It's like, oh. Like, whatever. I don't know. Scott Rowland? He's fine. I like Scott Rowland. I couldn. I didn't. Scott Rowland. He's fine.

Oh, I like Scott Rowland. OK, I couldn't think of Scott Brocious. How's that? Chuck Knobloch. I didn't need any more Chucky K's. I would play showdown cards. And so it was like big. It's like I need a catcher.

Like I need. Yeah. Mike Piazza. I need a Sandy Alomar. Yeah, that'd be great. Yeah, man. Yeah. The anticipation of those was amazing.

Okay. And the last one I got here is, uh, did you ever do, um, I think they were called book orders. Like, like they would give you like a pamphlet and you get to look at like the

books and you could order some. Oh yeah. You would circle it and pay and give it back to your mom. Yeah. And then they would order them for you. And then like the day that they came in, I always got Franklin, like the turtle,

you know, those books. I love the Franklin books. I don't know. They're probably the cheapest one. So that's why we got them. You did first grade twice. So, you know, if you want to read the Franklin books, sure. I loved when I read Franklin. Um, anyway, but it was so exciting when the book orders came in. I forgot about that. Do you ever do accelerated reading? Did your elementary or middle school have that set up or accelerated math? I don't think so. It was kind of nice. It was like this. every book had a point value assigned to it oh and there's just like this competition like how many points can you get from reading oh i would love that it was sweet yeah they were color-coded did you do book it back in the day the uh is that like pizza hut like oh you you make a joke yeah you can tell yeah sorry i went too quick uh book it back in the day was like

pizza hut's initiative for kids to read more and so it was like if you read a certain amount of books you got like this tiny little personal pan pizza from pizza yeah the personal pizzas it was such a tiny pizza but it was like so and it like burned your mouth so bad if you ate it like wow i read 35 books in one month for this pizza sick but it was it tasted delicious did they have pizza inns up here oh i don't think so yeah i don't think many people were probably asking for a franchise pizza in pizza in every school every person in southwest missouri has done a fundraiser at pizza in oh really yeah and you just like you would do it for your mission trip or your volleyball team it's pizza night come 20 goes to whatever oh okay and i remember like being in that kitchen and it was like i was on a

on an ice rink that floor oh you were working back there yeah yeah we work it like you you make your proceeds they let the kids just have at it in the back and always a good idea oh my gosh i was like i can't believe food is served back here. Right. This is so disgusting. So nasty. I mean, it's like the layer of grease on the ground. We just slide all around. We thought it was funny. It was so disgusting.

And then you think back on it's like, why was that so slippery? Yeah. It's so greasy. And like, what else is down here? What is the health department even checking for if it's not the half inch of grease on the ground? So anyway, those are my those are my 90s nostalgia thoughts that's good i just love i love 90s i love my childhood yeah um you know uh our girl cassie

i think her name is who's going through all ghost running back yeah all the episodes and like shout out there was one she posted a few days ago that uh i mean pretty much all of them make me laugh because i don't remember anything right and there was there was one, I was like, who said this? This is good. It was me. But it was like, I love that, uh, like our generation, I think I said, like, we know how to read an analog clock and we can also like, I forgot whatever I compared it to post an IGTV to your story or something like that.

Like we're right in the sweet spot of analog and digital. We are. And it's sweet. It is. You know about book orders but you also know about you know e-readers audible yeah exactly 100 go starters book club we need to start it i know dude i know i know i just don't i don't know when i'm gonna listen to it i don't drive that often i'll figure out something maybe in the shower i don't want to read in the shower

i don't know your job is tough like i don't know if we talked about on the podcast. Surely we have. But your job is tough because you can't ever do like multitask when you're doing your job. Yeah, I wish I could. Unless you're driving. Yes. Yeah. But you can't ever.

Like, I'm always like, yeah, I watch The Office while I do woodworking. Like, I can't do that because I'm literally listening to the audio whenever I'm video editing. Yeah. Not fun. Anyway, Jake, how are you, man? Good. I had a sporty, sporty little weekend.

Oh. Yeah. You know, I was a Spice Girl. Probably sporty Spice. Probably sporty. First of all, found a new sport yesterday. I went golfing. Really?

Yeah. Okay. Not bad. Is it for, did you go for the video? Yeah. We went for a video where I can, we played a half round, nine holes of golf, part two holes. What?

I've been to Topgolf with you. You have a nice swing. We've been to Topgolf together? For my birthday. Oh my gosh. I have a photo evidence. Wow. My birthday is coming up in a week.

Let's do something. Yeah. I should probably be the one to tell you that. Hey Jake, let's do something for your birthday. Oh, thanks Brent. I'd love to take you out for your birthday. Let's do something fun. Dave's do something. Yeah. I should probably be the one to tell you that. Hey Jake, let's do something for your birthday. Oh, thanks Brent. I love to take you out for your birthday. Let's do something fun. Dave and Busters. Yeah. Maybe that should be the tradition. Every year we go to Dave and Busters. We're going to Busters. Yeah. I hope they're still open. I hope they're still doing well. Um, but yeah, golf was not as hard as I thought it was going to be for a guy who doesn't own his own clubs and never goes golfing. Yeah. Like who'd you, did you rent

clubs or how'd you do that? Just borrowed them. It was me, Trey, your best friend, Connor. Oh gosh. And then Trey's music producer, Zane,

which is such a music producer. Zane, he's got like the deep V with like the necklace, like, I don't know, like a long necklace. Like sunglasses,

like, but like tucked into the deep part of the V to make it slightly deeper. Right, right, right, right. I'm just making things up, but he did into the deep part of the V to make it slightly deeper. Right. Right. Right. Right. I'm just making things up,

but he did have a lot of tattoos. So that seems to check out. Yeah. Oddly enough. Yeah. He was, he could be a worship pastor if he wanted to be. Yeah.

Yeah. But he's taking his talents elsewhere. Right. For the kingdom, you know? Yeah, of course. Of course.

Uh, yeah. Golf was fun. I also, um, I've been playing some more ping pong recently. Actually, it's kind of, I've developed a weird relationship with a friend of mine, our friend Josie. You know Josie?

Yeah. It's become this weird daytime platonic booty call thing where she, so she just got a ping pong table. Have you openly said this to her? No. Hey, FYI, I'm seeing this. Are you seeing this? Let me just explain what's happening, and then maybe you'll see. Platonic booty calls.

I love it. No, this is great. This needs to be a thing. Just like on multiple occasions, she'll just like FaceTime me. Like it was Saturday afternoon at like 4 p.m. She's like, FaceTime me. Hey, what are you doing? I'm like, honestly, not a whole lot.

She's like, you want to come over, play ping pong? I was like, yeah. Went over there for 45 minutes, played five games of ping pong and just came right back all right didn't touch clothes stayed on yeah it was just you know platonic ping pong you ping pong yeah get out of there I did pet their dog did you yeah smells to high heaven really I still pat him oh smell oh I was thinking high heaven was a good thing bad thing i don't know low hell smells to low health um okay uh so yeah i've got that whole thing going on yeah um so has it happened more than once has she been like yeah yeah yeah what are you doing you want to come over and watch an episode of the office yeah what are you gonna take a hint jake i mean i'm just kidding so are

we gonna play ping pong or what's going i brought a paddle i what's What's going on? Yeah. Hey, can I borrow your microwave real quick? Yeah, sure. I don't know how long you need to use my microwave for. It just comes over for five minutes and then leaves. But yeah, that's been fun. I think she's just really excited about ping pong, but her roommates don't get that excited about playing. So I'm just her guy.

I'm just like the ping pong plug. Okay. Ping pong glutonic plug. Ping pong glutonic plug. Lots of P's. Quadruple P. Quaddy P. So yeah, I'm playing ping pong. I lots of peace quadruple p quad p so yeah i'm playing ping pong i found my new sport golf i also went um wake surfing and wakeboarding i saw that friday which is a good time you ever been wake surfing once yeah i'm not really into those kind of things

ever since i messed up my knee i just don't want to mess up my knee ever again. So, but yeah. Wake surfing is probably a little safer on the knee because your feet aren't strapped to something. Much less extreme than wakeboarding, but yeah. Yeah, you go a little slower. You don't really have any bad wipeouts wake surfing. Except the one time I did it, like classic my friend,

like was they got that guy and he like jumped off the edge and like tackled me. Oh, while you were surfing? Yeah. Oh, what for? Just to be funny. Oh, that's so silly. Oh, how funny was that? Like. Oh, what for? Just to be funny. Oh, that's so silly. Oh, how funny was that?

Good one, Casey. Good one. I was on the board and now I'm off. Yeah. So, yeah. What do you think? Is this your first time? No, I've been a time or two before.

It's fun. It's nice. It's soothing. I mean, like most of the people that I watch do it these days, I'm like, you don't look like you're having that much fun. It's a very non-impressive sport to watch. You're like, yep, you're going 10 miles an hour. Yep. We can talk, we can have a conversation right now. This is cool. I can use all the music on the boat. That was fun. You know, they'd always ask, all right, what's your surf song? I'm like, Oh, what do I want to surf to? I went with, um, give me that by Chris Brown.

Who remembers that song? I don't, I don't know it. I don't know if I ever knew it. Well, it's good for wake surfing. Trust me. Sing it for me, baby. No. I'll maybe just play it on YouTube. Gimme That. And then, oh, Remix by Lil Wayne.

I didn't know that existed. Listen to this. Hey. Oh. You're kind of like on the wake, like going. going yeah you're kind of grooving to the yeah i was body rolling with chris even though i'm pretty sure he came out with this as a 16 year old so don't get any ideas that's okay that's okay he's older now yeah it checks out um wow so did you feel when you were playing ping pong did you think to yourself i switched this for pickleball kind of because pickleball like pickleball is really truly a hybrid of ping pong and tennis.

I mean, yeah. It's like right in the middle of both. It really is. Yeah. But it was good. I still don't understand the science of wake surfing. How? How?

How's that going there? How? I don't know. You guys don't know. You go forwards without hanging on to anything when you wake surf. Yeah, because. Yeah, I don't know. Oh, I don't know.

No, I didn't! them to it yeah something like that they're gonna love that give me that um so yeah there's an update norway there's there's no way they're not gonna love that one no way that I'm going to love that one. No way, dude. That's great. Okay. That's awesome. I don't have much else to say, dude. Oh, I have some things.

Tell me, baby. Sunday morning. I had been awake. Oh, I have something to say. I'm so sorry. Oh my gosh. You go ahead first, though. You reminded me of Sunday morning.

The Maroon 5 song? Sunday morning, rain is falling. Talk sky to high. Yeah morning rain is falling that's funny um okay sunday morning i've been awake but still in bed for probably 30 minutes so there's there's no way that this could have been like i'm slightly dreaming and i thought i heard something that wasn't there there's no no way. There's no way. I was definitely awake. Definitely awake. I heard a sound and this is so specific, but it's the only way I can describe it. The only way.

There is a sound under my bed that sounded as if a small dog. I'm going to say a beagle. Okay. Like a large eared dog. You know when dogs get out of the pool and they shake their head? Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was the sound of no collar and no wetness necessarily. It was just the sound of like a dog's ears hitting its own like head kind of.

Like when a dog shakes its head. It was that exact sound came from underneath my bed. I mean like as plain as day, like something is under my bed and I was scared. I didn't know what to do. Is your first reaction like jump up and look at it or is it just like stay still and hope it leaves? I sat up so fast. I was like, I mean, something's under my bed. And then I was so scared to look down. Did you feel anything or just here? No, just, just audio. And this is going to be kind of a letdown to admit. I just convinced myself that it happened outside of the window and that my ears played some tricks on me and i never looked under my bed

oh ever like i still have it that was yesterday i have a dead beagle under there i could oh boy he was like his collar got stuck to something and all i could do was shake his head to tell me i mean it sounded like you were convinced like something's under my bed and it sounds like a dog with large ears like you were that you were very confident it was really the sound it wasn't just like yourself subconscious or something I mean like you were awake you've been there you're just sitting in bed there's no sound like nothing both my roommates were still asleep right like there was no sound in this house and then you just hear this like flappa flappa flappa like that's under my bed what is that and it's not like a mouse you know it was a larger sound than just like a bug or a dude what if it was like a rat what sound would how would it have

made that sound like oh it's tail like it's wagging its tail what do you got under your bed that's just like it's yeah it's just smacking up against all these like different like duffel bags or something under there there's nothing under my bed it's nothing there's nothing that's a plot twist did not see that coming. Oh, really? Yeah. There'd be like a shoe box or something. No, that's why I was scared to look because I'm like, whatever it is, I'm going to I'm

going to lock eyes with it. I'm going to see it kind of like the mouse. Like if you walk guys with it, like, what do I do now? Yeah. So I wish I had a better any of that story. But I mean, that is 100 percent true. Like there is I'm so convinced something is under my bed and I never looked. I think if I were you, I would have done the exact same thing, dude. Like like as a person, as a married person, like your wife's going to be like, hey, you

got to figure this out. Hey, look at that beagle. Yeah. Can you go figure that out? Check on Shiloh. Right. But as a single guy, it's like I'm renting. Yeah.

Peter, figure it out. Whenever there might be a small pack of beagles in the get in the back bedroom. Yeah. So they're under the bed. Oh, man. Dude, whenever you said Sunday morning, I totally, I can't believe I almost forgot to say this on the podcast. It was a pretty crazy thing.

So I walked into church on Sunday morning. I showered my glasses on again. Listen, I don't know how to describe it to somebody who doesn't wear glasses, but it was a big deal. Okay. I don't, I don't like, well, like I said, whatever, get out, get off my back, get off my face. Um, so walked into church eight o'clock on Sunday morning, we have practice eight 30. Um, and I walk in the back sanctuary doors, you know, where it is, you can imagine. And I like notice it's kind of a

funny, like something looked different whenever i walked in and i noticed like oh oh this this table looks different like back in the back where the sound booth is i was like oh there's no soundboard back here okay and all the chords were still there so like the soundboard has all those channels and then all those things that plug into the back of it and all the plugs were still there all the chords cords are still there, but the soundboard was gone. And I was like, that's odd. Like,

I feel like somebody would have told me if they were doing maintenance or borrowing the soundboard or something. And so then I thought like for like 15 seconds more, I was like, okay, maybe I'll call our friend Rob that does sound stuff. Yeah. And I'm like walking towards the front of the sanctuary,

like about to like call him on the phone. And then I noticed like multiple microphone stands on the front of the sanctuary, about to call him on the phone. And then I noticed multiple microphone stands on the front of the stage are toppled over. Oh. And my guitar's not there. Oh. Matt Ford's bass guitar's not there. Piano's not there. And I'm like, oh, snap.

We got robbed. No way. No way. No way, dude. Yeah. So we got robbed. This was yesterday. way. No way, dude. Yeah. So we got robbed. This was yesterday. Yeah.

I mean, there's not much. Hold on. Coincidence. Who are you going to call? Rob guy. Rob. His name is Rob. Oh my gosh.

We got robbed. We got robbed by Rob. He's like, like literally got robbed. So you can't like, there's no sign. No sign says don't take it. Double jeopardy. Yeah. Right.

I think that's what that is. That's how it works. Trebek. Yeah, absolutely. And so we got Rob robbed. you got blah blah blah yeah i was trying to um anyway i just i yeah it was crazy um and so we had to like pull an audible at the last minute obviously because like you did an audiobook version of worship yes absolutely this podcast is sponsored by audible um yeah like yeah, like, because the soundboard

for those of you don't know also is like, not only does it do like the instruments and stuff, but it also does all the microphones. And so we have speakers still, like they didn't steal the speakers. They didn't steal the microphones, but they stole the thing that makes everything connect. And it's very expensive compared to a microphone. microphone oh it's a 32 channel yeah justin knows probably 32 channel mic whatever um but yeah and so we just had to flex and flow of like because normally we like stream everything and we go through uh the soundboard for that and so we just streamed like very you know mediocre amateurly with a with a phone stand you know facebook live kind of thing. And then I just led

worship like completely unplugged acoustic, baby, just screamed it out. Like, it was pretty cool. Honestly, it was, but it was not a cool feeling to be like, okay, we have 30 minutes for everyone's coming in practicing. And I have no idea what we're going to do. She just walked in. I got some theories. Well, we had a cop come take our, you know, take our testimony. That's not the right word, but take our temperature and our testimony. Yeah. So, uh, so I started out, um, you know, in a good Christian household and, uh, yeah, whatever.

Um, never really made my faith my own. Um, never got into stealing. Nothing like this. No, nothing like this. No, seriously. Like nothing like this. Um, mine was more like with the girls and I got at least Wilson. Hello. Big backyard. There's Norway. I'm not hitting that up.

No, that's right. Oh man. So anyway, was the cop helpful? Yeah. I mean, he said all the right things. He's like, you know, to be honest, like I'm not going to be the one to carry out, carry this out after I, you know, take all of the right word it's not testimonies witnesses no take all your accounts what's the word oh that's gonna kill me do you know it and you're just not i don't know take all your like he's like he's like taking everybody's stories basically okay i guess once i take your story i'm gonna pass it off to a detective.

But they do a good job of like monitoring online if anybody's selling any of this stuff. Oh, that's cool. And they like set up meetings and like confront them. I was like, I want to be in on that. Yeah. How do I wet my beak on that action? So I have been on Facebook a few times, like just searching for the stuff, but nothing. So these guys are good.

Yeah. I think luckily we have insurance and all that. So it's not going to be too tough to. Do you insure your things besides your life and house and stuff? I should. I think luckily we have insurance and all that, so it's not going to be too tough to do. You insure your things besides your life and house and stuff. I should, I should insure more. No, I like your equipment. I don't insure my stuff either.

I don't know. I think a lot of, well, I don't know. I think Dave Ramsey would say a lot of insurance is not necessary, but then he says other ones are necessary that I've never heard of, like long-term care and stuff like that. Oh, stuff I've never heard of. I've never heard of like long-term care and stuff like that oh stuff i've never heard of never heard of that either you ever drank insure the drink what does dave say about that uh he says nothing i don't know drinks an onshore insure for what is kind of us through the wire drinking insure for breakfast oh crap what's he say insure for dessert somebody gave me pancakes. Could only sip the scissor. Nice. Yeah. Dang. I don't remember it all though. That's crazy. You got

Rob. So you guys just have to like, well, the insurance reimburse you for some of it or how does that work? I think so. I'm not really sure. We're just kind of gathering up like the model numbers and trying to get receipts for everything. Cause I mean, obviously we bought the stuff not super recently. And so I don't know where our receipts are for all that stuff. But, and the crazy thing is I'm supposed to be gone next weekend. And so that's, that's the whole other thing. I got to find a new unplugged acoustic later. Yeah, pretty much.

Like luckily the guy that's leading for me is like, Hey, I want to do whatever's easiest for you. So, um, anyway, kind of crazy. Harrison came to our church last week or yesterday. And I was like, Harrison, what cool yesterday and i was like harrison what's up i was like dude we just got robbed like i literally told him it's like two minutes before i was about to go up and lead worship i was like we just got robbed so things are gonna look a little different today but i'm glad you're here man did he seem suspicious he was like yeah yeah

perfect alibi or perfect like no i i would never do it because i just came to the back yeah like he walked in immediately was, excited for the acoustic set today. Like, excuse, what did you say? I mean, what's up, dude? I didn't know you went here. No, I thought like Presbyterians didn't do that. That's what I was thinking. Oh, okay.

Church of Christ. Okay. I don't know. Unplugged every third Sunday, right? I mean. Yeah. Jazz every Tuesday and then unplugged. It's youth sunday so

yeah whatever uh yeah but anyway just crazy but you're going out of town next weekend though tell the people about that i'm going well i was originally going to go texas i think we're now going to the lake instead because katherine's family's had some health issue stuff so the lake in texas no the lake of the ozarks sugar holler oh maybe i'll maybe i'll take a video of like going past all those roads to Roach, Missouri. Where do you think you'll put that video? Patreon.com baby.

Slash. Ghost Runners podcast. Just Ghost Runners. Yeah. Yeah. Check it out. Please. Taxi Skalduha if you do.

Well, yeah. Is that what it was? Taxi Skalduha. Taxi Skalduha. Yeah. I'll play it one more time hey that we need to do like a remix like that sounds there's a tiktok song that i think i want to say is korean and it sounds like this really but you can't search tiktok popular sound that

kind of sounds korean that has the same cadence as talk. Scott do hall on Google translate, but I'm telling you, it is very similar. It's like the sound I heard to a beagle's ears. Like it is that similar of a correlation. Dude, I've had that thought about multiple like Twitter videos that I've seen, like where it's like a caption to something like, you know, it's like, I guess they call them memes. I guess.

Yeah. You know, and it's like, oh, that's a really funny video and i really want to show somebody just the video and i don't care about the actual tweet but i don't like the tweet or something it's so hard to find it again yeah so i wish there was a better way someone's gonna make a lot of money figure out a way to index things that you've seen with your own eyes somehow yeah or just like yeah if you can impersonate it good enough well enough you should be able to then search it with just your impersonation of it that would be cool kind of a charade search engine terry yeah and then it's like yeah it comes up so so this would be my attempt as like okay okay uh google 2.0

it's like this tiktok song and it's like i don't see that at all oh i know that song no i know this, you're working. This is it. Google 2.0. Wait, maybe it's not the right song. It sounds like Tuxkalduha. Oh, no. That sounded like the same note three times in a row.

Oh, what's the song called? It's not Korean or anything, though. Okay, it may not be. This is why I need the tool. Oh, what's the song? It's like very popular. Are you thinking it's Tokyo Drift by the Teriyaki Boys? Because that's a different song.

It's a fire. Fast and Furious. Roses. Roses. Is that that song? Oh, no. That song's awesome. Yeah.

The remix? Yeah. Yeah. That song's great. That's kind of what I... This is a very different sound. Okay, okay, okay. Yeah.

Don't see that I know. Someone listening knows this song. Yeah. And I'd use you to timestamp it and send me a link on YouTube comments right now. That's the website is you just you have people go on there and like watch other people's impersonation. Oh, I know that. I know that song. Let me go.

Yeah. Which I guess is kind of like Reddit. But this is strictly for like help. Like, I can't find this anywhere on the internet. This is unsearchable. And I want to just be like a quick video. Like you can only do 10 seconds of whatever you need and then that person Can respond yeah, and there's like a currency within the website like if you like get the right answer

Then like the OP can like reward you like this is the answer that helped me the most Tin tin brownies tin yeah tin brownies. I like it. Yeah, it'd be called Brown oogle okay very brutal brutal. Okay. Very. Bruegel. Bruegel. Okay. Yeah. Talk ska do ha. Yeah. Man, I so badly want to like pause the podcast. It's been 10 minutes finding the song, but just trust me, it's somewhat similar. I'm not going to do that though. Here's something though, Brad.

You'll be proud of me for this. And I think the ghosties out there will be too, but especially you. Last night, I never even tried this before, but I'm one for one. I was buying something online and I guessed a promo code right. It was one of the coolest feelings. Yeah. It was awesome. That is awesome.

I've never even tried it before. I always just assume like, I don't have a promo code. I use like a Google Chrome extension to sometimes find them automatically. Right, Wiki, whatever. I use Honey. Okay, yeah. Not a sponsor. Yet. Honey, if you're out there. Honey, if you're listening. Bring it. They sponsor pretty much every other podcast, so it's like wiki whatever i use honey okay yeah not a sponsor um yet honey

honey if you're listening they sponsor pretty much every other podcast so it's a matter of time um but there was no promo codes through honey and i was buying also not an ad i was buying t-shirts from fresh clean teas something like that just like bought some new t-shirts good for you thanks and i just first i put in just fresh tin and it gave me 10 off and i was like how high can we go right yeah i went up pretty high as high as i got was fresh 20 though okay still 20 off for just typing in some words i love it dude it was awesome that's awesome hot mediocre life update yes but also best thing that happened to me all week that is such a great reminder like if you're out there and you don't just take the extra 20 seconds to search promo codes or have a, or just get extension or just

guess, just like take a word that's in their company name and then throw a 10 or a 15 behind it. That's all I did. That's so great. You saved a good amount of money. Yeah. I saved like $12 enough to, yeah. Go get yourself a nice dinner. Yeah. Yeah. Heck yeah. A nice dinner. I had torches today. That is a nice dinner. It's an expensive one yeah. A nice dinner. I had Torchy's today. That is a nice dinner. It's an expensive one. I was going to say, it does not cover it with $12.

I spent $17 at Torchy's. $17 for what? Three, three trailer park trashies and a drink. That's too much, right? Yeah. It's quite a bit of money.

I think we're, we're, um, we're struggling to find, well, I think just prices are going up in general for food, and I don't like it. I just feel like, yeah, even like Taco Bell and stuff is like seven or eight bucks. That's too much.

Back in my day, I wasn't like that. I go for the $5 box. It's still pretty good. But Chipotle has and forever will be the best deal in food. I went there yesterday. I chickened out about asking for a little more meat i cannot wait for the i'm down oh my gosh i know my yeah i was with hattie and so hattie was kind of distracting me and i was like oh i really should do this and like take a video of it but i i didn't how also how do you take a video of things like that like how do people do

that without just i don't know my friend noah who i'm sure i probably showed you his videos where he'll record himself in like a home depot like he's like doing prank videos filming it himself yeah those are really funny videos most impressive thing yeah yeah one they're funny and just like the videography of it he says he turns his phone brightness all the way down and so in like pretty good lighting that's very dark right um so his phone brightness is all the way down so it just looks like he's holding pretty good lighting that's very dark right um so his phone brightness is all the way down so it just looks like he's holding his phone out that's and so you they can't see into the phone yeah that's good he's like and i usually try to like hold something out in front of them like look at this and not my phone it's like what is it isn't you know whatever

um oh that's good yeah okay noah's coming to yosemite i'm hyped dude okay tell me more about yosemite what's the plan what's um are you you where you staying don't have much to our plan? I hope this isn't bad to say except met the guy I'm gonna kind of be roasting him real quick. Um, there's a guy I Wasn't playing out tired with this whatever it might be funny though There's a guy in the trip. We're not saying other stars staying under a roof. I think I've paid my dues camping I did it a decent amount as a young kid i'm an adult now i can i can afford an airbnb so i'm gonna get one okay i think yeah um and i think it's hard to invite people on a trip where it's like hey you should come to yosemite we're not gonna have

electricity it's like yeah you gotta bring a lot more stuff if you're camping that's a good point too um so you know it's there's not that many strangers this trip compared to my normal ones but you still have a lot of people going. And it's a lot of people who are like, I know, but they don't know anyone else. We're talking like 10 people. We're talking like a baker's dozen. Great. Nice.

To my friends, their podcast listeners, Malia. What up? Shout out. It's going to come. But they don't really know each other. But I know most of them. However, we have a couple of people that like a friend of a friend who's coming. OK, there's this one guy who got put in like a smaller group chat with us.

It's going to be kind of hard to describe whatever. Basically, he was like pumped to get the invite for Yosemite. Here's what I'm thinking, though. What if we go to Vegas the night before and then like early morning? We don't need to pay for hotel. We just like road trip to Yosemite. I'm like, you know, hey, I like Vegas probably more than for a hotel. We just road trip to Yosemite. I'm like, hey, I like Vegas.

Probably more than the average guy. Kind of down, whatever. And then I'm thinking about it more. And some of the girls in the group chat are like, yeah, maybe, or whatever. And I'm like, I don't know. That's just going to be hard to coordinate. Now I've got to tell these people, actually, don't fly into Fresno. That's the cheese.

You don't fly into Las Vegas. Also the cheese. Also, we have this many people. That's two or three rental cars going all the way from vegas to yosemite like this is gonna get expensive i think that might need to happen elsewhere and like i say all this to like a stranger you know like kind of shutting him down he's like you gave all the reasonings i feel like there are a lot of good reasons too like there's a lot of moving parts uh-huh he's like okay what if we do vegas on the tail end that way people don't have to you know fly out i'm like i don't know whatever he's like all right all right we do vegas like a smaller group of us who really want to do las vegas yeah now i don't think we're doing vegas

but i'm just so intrigued to meet this guy yeah that's the dude loves las vegas and it's maybe not the best at taking hints so if you love las vegas then why are you going to yosemite yeah sounds like you don't want to go to polar opposite kind of places. You know, one of them's like kind of out in the wilderness, the desolate, you know, and one of them's like city lights right there. Yeah. Oh, that's funny. That's like, so we'll see. I'll give you some updates on how that goes. I'll be interested to see when Caitlin gets married. Like, like that reminds me of something an in-law would do basically like right there. Like, yeah, I used to, I was not a very good little brother back in the day, probably to my sisters.

Cause when they are husbands, when they first came into the family, I would like, just get so frustrated with them if they try to do anything different than like the way my family had done. Yeah. And I'm like the baby of the family, you know, my sisters are eight years and 10 years older than me. Um, and so, yeah. And so one of my brother-in-law is like, I literally had a nickname for him where I would call him the T-dub. He's the Stanford T-W for tradition wrecker. He would always want to do like, and it was always like very valid, like great ideas. Like, Hey, what if we did it this way instead of this way? And I'd be like, listen, T-dub, like I'm like this 16 year old punk, you know, saying all these different things to him. So Mark, if you're listening, you're not, but love you, man.

Um, that'd be hard to let go of those things. Like here's this new guy. And so it's like the same thing. It's like, Hey, like you have no clout. You have no like reason to suggest these things. Like, you know, you're not a friend. You're, you're a friend of a friend. Like, I don't know you, I've never met you.

And yet you're trying to take this thing that I've kind of orchestrated. There was a little pride involved. Like, this is like i've been assembling this these people this trip right and now we got a vegas bomb so someday caitlin's gonna bring home this guy and he's not gonna be what you expected like and he's gonna be suggesting that you guys i don't know churn butter on thanksgiving day or something we never do that we do that on christ do that on Christmas. Right. That's a Christmas thing. Tanner. Oh, she doesn't marry Tanner. That would be the worst. Yeah.

Anyway, that's interesting about that guy. So are you going to Vegas? No. It didn't happen. Okay. I don't think. I mean, I am not flying to Las Vegas. Also, that makes me feel like that guy is like 24 years old.

Is he a little younger? I don't know. I don't know. That sounds like something I would try to bend over backwards for and like you pull an all nighter and all that stuff. That sounds like something I would have done like a couple of years out of college. Now it's just like, eh, I'd rather just take two trips. You know, I'll do the Yosemite trip this time and do the Vegas trip next time. Yeah. I love Vegas.

I like Vegas a lot for like a day and a half. It's pretty fun. Yeah. You got to go get in and out. Yeah. So that's why that idea of going for a night's pretty good it did sound good but and hey nick if you're listening to this after we've met and you're retroactively going back to old episodes i'm sure you're great and we're

friends now oh yeah you understand right you know totally see the merit i am nailing that melody someone's gonna know it gosh i want to find out what that is I am nailing that melody. Someone's going to know it. Gosh, I want to find out what that is. Huxkalooha. Oh, I got to find it out. Oh, that's awesome. Here's a thought I had this week, Brad. I think people prioritize a good parking spot too much.

I agree. They'll wait for someone to back out And there's like a spot right there. There's a difference of 25 feet. That is such a tiny amount. Yeah. To walk extra. It's like, it's like not that far. It's so close.

Unless you're buying a refrigerator and you have to carry it out yourself. You don't have a doll. That is the only thing. No. Yeah. They're out of dollies and you're buying a fridge and you're there by yourself. That's it. And they won't help you because there's a pandemic that's the only like scenario where you should like

be prioritizing a spot 15 feet closer that's a great observation because now that i have a truck like it's so hard like even if you see a good spot sometimes like i couldn't really maneuver into that thing i'm just gonna park in the back and then you you don't ever notice like that was a long walk totally you never think about that You never notice that. Especially in the summer. I don't think summer. I don't really mind the heat too much. Like in the winter, sometimes it's like, oh, gosh, that's far away. That's a little more fair.

Yeah. But I totally agree. Gosh, you just made me think about the winter. That's going to suck. No, it's not. No, it won't be as warm, though. That's true. That's what they're saying anyway.

They're calling for a colder winter than this summer. Than the summer? Yeah. They're saying. Yeah. The Farmer's Almanac says it, too. So they're saying it's going to be a colder winter than this summer than the summer yeah they're saying yeah the farmer's almanac says it too so they're saying it's like gonna be 30 40 degrees colder probably yeah and that'll be like the high some days oh boy but we might wake up to some snow days yeah strafford might get canceled oh no yeah or not well they might get canceled because their name is the indians but i meant like their school is gonna get canceled cancel culture they're gonna be called the high school like the redskins stra meant like their school is going to get canceled. Cancel culture. They're going to be called the high school, like the Redskins.

The Stratford high school. Stratford, the high school team. That would be funny. Oh, maybe, maybe you should just preemptively like make shirts that say that and sell them. Oh yeah. Like squat on them. I think that's what it's called when you do things before squat. Well, it's like an Indian thing.

I was going to say, I don't think squatting dog. Yeah. You're allowed to squat. No, I think like you, I reserve that. Oh, don't say that. Reservation, I don't think squatting dog. Yeah. You're allowed to squat. No, I think like you, I reserved that. Oh, don't say that reservation. I don't know. I have skin in the game. I wouldn't, I wouldn't, I wouldn't, I wouldn't go there.

Yeah. Skin in the game. Oh, can't think of anything with scalp, but trust me, I've been thinking, I can't think of anything. Yeah. How'd you get that ticket? I scalped it. Whoa. I scalped the ticket for the basketball team and now are you the one to charge

you i'm kind of the chief around here hey hey dude hey come on come on like ceo chief no stop quit quit we can't root for them anymore oh, like I was using I'm gonna do one more Like I was writing this I was writing the plays out before the game on the chalkboard and when I like now that the chalk Is like so tiny started the truck Chalk small Hey Chalk tall at the beginning. That was great. And now chalk small. Hey, can you raise and lower my desk and my sitting apparatus for me real quick? I know what you're about to say.

Yeah, I'm going to need the Cherokee. The Cherokee going down on me. The Cherokee going down. Cherokee goes up. Every time I sit down. Thank you, Slotlyana. Cox Calduha. Oh, no. You're the cheese. the turkey going down turkey goes up every time i sit down thank you slot liana you're the cheese anyway yeah oh that's funny strafford indians anyway oh what were we saying oh squatting though i think

like if you know a company might exist in the future or whatever you just you discover oh that like like you can buy domain names or something before it's a trademark so that someone will buy it from you or a copyright or whatever registered yeah that's called url squatting yes i've heard of that because uh i listened to a interview with chris bosch one time and he like he like sued a bunch of guys like because they they made like chris bosch.com and all these different before he had it. Yeah Wow So oh so they actually don't get it's like illegal to do that I don't really know how he sued them or like yeah It doesn't seem illegal and that's maybe savvy making money off of his likeness then he could sue them

Yeah, maybe or maybe I don't know. I don't know Maybe they were probably charging like a million dollars for this URL, domain, whatever. That seems a little high. Yeah. Price fixing. Anyway. Okay. That was fun. We have two voice memos.

Okay. What if we listen to them and then talk? Well, we'll listen to one and then talk about it for a little bit. Respond to them. And then we'll listen to the other one and talk about that for a little bit. Talk Skalduha. Hey, Jake. Hey, Brad.

This is Nick from Traverse City, Michigan. Just finished watching Velocipastor with the boys and it was not bad. Let's go! Anyway, a couple weeks ago you guys were talking about eating horse meat, which reminded me of an experience I had in middle school. So this Ukrainian kid at lunch had some salami, right? And he continued insisting that I try the salami, which I didn't want to try, but he continued and was very persistent. And so I tried the salami, which he told me was horse meat. It was not good. I felt betrayed. There were a lot of emotions. Anyway, my question is,

what is something that you guys have not wanted to try or just a food that you didn't think would be good, but you tried it anyway, and did you regret it or not? Thanks, guys. This guy's name is Nick? Yeah, Nicholas. Oh, man. I don't even care about the question.

I love the idea of a Ukrainian guy just like, eat salami. Was Ola Ukrainian? What was he? What is he? He's still alive as far as I know. Let's say Ukrainian. Okay. Yeah.

Yeah. You need to try my meat. You don't like salami? You don't like curated ham? Try this piece of salami. Good for you, Nick, for finally giving in and eating the salami. I can't imagine middle school,

like middle school dynamics are the worst in general, but like, yeah, some kid being like, hey, try this. And the more he pushes, the more you're like, I think it's a good idea that I'm not trying the salami. Yeah.

No, seriously, try it. It's really good. You will like. Everyone I show, they like. Everyone says it's like the bell of the bowl. Price position. The bell of the pickle bowl. Yeah.

Yeah. Poor Nick. Poor middle school Nick. I might have told the story in the pod before. There was once upon a time at Red Robin. Probably six, seven years ago. That's the same one tm copyright uh where i got there a little late and you know if you know people are being persistent you don't eat it sorry whatever you said sorry it's not that funny you made it sound like uh you said when i got there a little late it made it sound like you you ordered something called the little late.

Like, yeah, when they got T-H-E-I-R. When I got there a little late, I don't know. That's all. I'm sorry. You got there a little late. People were pushing you to try something. Yeah. They're like, have you ever been to Red Robin before?

I was like, no. And they're like, oh, they have the best sauce. You should try it. I'm like, oh, I'm good with like, I was eating fries. I'm like, I'm good with ketchup. You're not a big sauce guy. No, you're going to love like Red Robin sauce. I'm like, I mean, it tastes good already with ketchup. Like, I'm like, oh, I'm good with like, I was eating fries. I'm like, I'm good with ketchup. You're not a big sauce guy. No, you're going to love like Red Robin sauce. I'm like, I mean, it tastes good already with ketchup.

Like I'm good. And then they let it go. And a few months later, Jake, you tried the sauce yet? I was like, I didn't even say I was going to try it. You know, it's just weird, but I'm stupid. I'm not catching on. So eventually I tried the sauce and like, you know, it was like dumb and dumber. Like, how's your burger?

And I'm just like, yeah, but it's not bad. I'm probably going to go back to the ketchup, but you know, was like dumb and dumber like how's your burger and i'm just like yeah but it's not bad i'm probably gonna go back to the ketchup but you know it's not bad and then they tell me later oh before you got here we combined all these sauces to make this like mega sauce and i was like well it's not that bad so that was a good one jokes on you yeah that was funny um that was one time i tried something after being persisted on and you liked it okay yeah uh i tried rocky mountain uh oysters oh i know enough about those i knew what they were people just said they were good and so i tried them you will like you in my country delicacy delicacy they go that you pop them in just pop just go ahead and pop one you've had a pop rock this is a bigger pop rock less sizzle yes no floppy disc um yeah i don't know it was they were fine they're they're really they're just the what do you eat them with ketchup okay

it tastes honestly i mean it's so classic but they taste like chicken like it just chicken nuggets kind of thing yeah i've had shark i've had alligator it's all it's all chicken yeah dude shark is actually pretty good not bad yeah um but yeah it was fine i mean i don't i don't i haven't eaten them since then haven't like found out where you could get them online or anything no pandemic you weren't like no gotta get my bull nads doppels double nads i talked before on the you know, when I ate a deviled egg. That sucked. That did not taste good. Those suckers are just, are the worst.

Someday you're going to try it again and you're going to like it. Something's going to click. Yeah. They say your taste buds change every seven years. I didn't used to like mustard and so deviled eggs were gross, but now I like mustard. You like mustard? Oh, mustard's great. Okay.

Turkey and mustard sandwich? Sure. Nice. If you can't have other good meats because you're allergic, you settle for turkey. Yeah. Yeah. That's what I'm saying. So someday you might like deviled eggs.

Yeah. Maybe. Nick, thank you for the voice memo. It sounds like you're an I'm down boy with a Z. So that's cool. Also, his last name is Builderback. Builderback? Builderback.

Yeah. Builderback up. You know, we tear down to Builderback up. We're like a competitor to build a bear i don't know oh we just do the backs of bears you're gonna want to go to build a front for the full bear yeah you got you got builder builder head over there builder builder arms builder legs builder back builder back that's the old builder back oh that's nick his dad owns builder back you probably heard of him yeah Yeah. It's copyrighted. Builderback Mountain. Okay. Yeah.

This next one's from Michaela. So today I find myself eating pineapple on my pizza while reading Blink by Ted Decker. Oh. And I couldn't help but think of you guys. Yeah. My favorite Christian novel is This Present Darkness by Frank Peretti. And I'm curious what your guys' are. Bye. She's going to out me because I don't read very

much. I was going to say like the book of revelation. No, just kidding. Just kidding. Depending on how you look at it. Uh, I have read that book, this present darkness. Yeah. Catherine told me to read it one time. So I did. Yeah. You're obedient like that. Just like, uh, just kind of like do whatever she says and like, yes, ma'am. Really obedient in that way. Absolutely. I've never once disobeyed. Or else I get hit. I don't know. You say Christian novels?

Yeah. Is it bad if I don't totally know what goes in that category? Because novel's fiction, but Christian seems like something that would be nonfiction. No, like the Frank Peretti. What about the Blink thing? Is that not a Christian thing? It is, like the Frank Peretti. Like, what about the blink thing? Is that not a Christian thing? It is, but it's a fiction book. So is that a Christian novel?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah. Okay. So I guess I've read a lot of those. Like Left Behind. Did you read those? Don't know how accurate that's going to be someday or if it even is someday, but they were very entertaining books.

Catherine loved them. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. My dad reads them like crazy. He doesn't move on to other books. He starts from the beginning again, which is so not my personality.

I don't understand how I, I'm his child. That is interesting. Cause like with, with other things that make sense, like rewatching a movie, it's like, Oh,

totally. I'd rewatch that movie, but a book, it seems a little different. Oh, I I'll ask him this week and I'll, I'll put it on a story. How many times he's reread those, the entire series, like a 13 book series. Yeah. My parents

found that they love Bryce Canyon. And so their next vacation, they're going back to Bryce Canyon. Like, like I'm so the opposite. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And they are just so like, well, once we find something, well, maybe, yeah, maybe I wonder, ask him, we can interview him sometime. Okay. But I'd really be curious to know if he's always been like that or if it's like, yeah, we had really a lot of fun at Bryce Canyon. Then we went, you know, up to Glacier and Glacier kind of stunk for us. It wasn't really doing it for us. And so we just realized like, it's not really worth it to go to a new place if we found

someone we really like. Well, the thing is, I think last year was the first time ever going to National Park and Bryce was one of them they went to. They have so many more to explore and they're gonna go back to bryce yeah because i've been all over i'm telling like no you got to see this right you know train i even went to vermont last fall like you guys should go there like it really is beautiful in the fall or you know go see this go see you know whatever like we really like bryce though like that's cool there yeah maybe they're like oh remember that cafe in Bryce Canyon like you'd go there again that is them though yeah yeah I love that yeah I'm sure I'll probably get that way too

I probably I'm that way with food I guess I'm kind of in the middle yeah yeah I'm that way with food too like it's like oh it tastes fine I'm not gonna go for this other thing at Chipotle I've never tried carnitas or any of the other too scared yeah every once in a while I'll go half chicken half steak I'm not gonna look under my bed wild i'm getting chicken every time right chicken's so good there it's so good why would you go away from that yeah i've never gotten anything but the pico like the mild i've gotten corn i guess on there but i've never gotten the mild or the hot sauce because it's like so good yeah so i respect you steve you have my respect did you see that voicemail he left me this week?

Did you see that? Yes, yes. It's a pretty good bit. Yeah. I was like, I might use this. Gosh, we need to get him on the pod. This is great. I called him back and I was like, I was like, that was great.

I was like, it's also similar. I had something written down in my notes. I've never worked on it or really used it. But similarly, like whenever a show or something like Ridiculousness or America's Funniest Videos, they'll like put out a disclaimer disclaimer like, do not try this at home. Yeah. And then they'll show you a clip of some guy doing a backflip on a skateboard down a ramp. It's like, this is not even somewhat on my mind.

Right. I don't know who you think is watching this TV show, but you don't have to worry about me trying this at home. It's a no trespassing of America's Videos. Do not try this at home. We are going to show a man juggling chainsaws on a motorbike right it's like you're good i don't know if you need this disclaimer i wasn't thinking that yeah that's funny yeah i think in a different life i would i would love to see what

steve was like if he's our age like steve's got to be he would probably be viral on on youtube at least once yeah you know i think so i so. He's got some funny ideas. Yeah. He'd be empowered, you know, by, by the likes be like, Oh,

likes fuel me. You got to chase it. Yeah. Yeah. That was a good, that was a good bit. I'm sure he could, he could open for you someday. That would be cool.

Father, son comedy show. Yeah. King Griffey jr. And senior back to back home runs. Yeah. You guys would be back to back home run. Yeah.

Comedy style. Has anyone, I've never heard of that. A father, son comedy duo. I'm sure that exists. I don Comedy style. Has anyone, I've never heard of that. A father son comedy duo. I'm sure that exists. I don't know. I mean, like I can think of like comedians that are fathers and sons,

but I've never thought of like them. Like standups, like Jerry Stiller and Ben Stiller. Oh, I guess they both do funny stuff. Yeah. They're not standup comedians. Yeah.

Um, that's the only one I can think of though. Yeah. I'm trying to think. I'm sure there one I can think of, though. Yeah. I'm trying to think. I'm sure there are plenty others. The Kennedys, were they funny? They had a bunch of powerful men. I don't know if they...

They performed, kind of. Yeah. Like from a podium to America. Sure. They didn't make people laugh, though. Not that I know of. I wasn't alive. No way of knowing.

You weren't alive? Not for them. I don't think... I was born a year earlier than you, so maybe I was... I don't think I was, a year earlier than you so maybe i was i don't think that was um anyway yeah i'm sure there's more that that's gonna bother me now that we can't think of more yeah it's like a fun thing that's like those are the kind of games i love to play like name a father son duo who's been funny ever yeah just as stillers that's it just like pop culture games in general. Fun to me. But yeah.

Goldie Hawn and Kate Hudson. They are of relations. Yeah. I didn't know that. Yeah. Mother and daughter. Did you know that Katy Perry was born Kate Hudson, but was like, I'm never going to make it if I am like there's already a Kate Hudson. I knew that she had a different name, but I didn't know it was Hudson.

Yeah. Katie Hudson, I think is a given name. Huh? And she used it was Hudson. Yeah. That's funny. Katie Hudson, I think, is her given name. And she used to sing gospel. Yeah, she did. And then she sold her soul. Yeah. I don't know. I don't know if that's accurate. You don't know? You were born a year older than me, so you might not. She doesn't ever respond to anything I say, so

it's hard to be in the know with what she's up to. Yeah, yeah. Maybe someday. Maybe someday. Once you're starting some comedic shows with your daddy. That would be sweet. Yeah. You want to do Review of the Week? You want to do that next?

Yeah, sure. How do you feel about that? Did you have any other thoughts about novels? Because I didn't. Oh, yeah, I forgot about that. I mean, Left Behind series, I really enjoyed. There's Left Behind for kids and the adult one. Lion, the Wizard of Wardrobe, I liked a lot.

Oh, yeah. I was much more of a nonfictionfiction guy good for you thanks yeah i just feel like i just like you know you're kind of a little bit above people when you're like yeah i don't really do fiction too often most of my books were leather bound and smelled of mahogany so it's hard to really classify yeah what else did i read i got a lot of crap back in the day because I was very outspoken that I love the Da Vinci Code. People were like, should you even be reading that? Yeah, did you tell your youth pastor? I'm just kidding.

I hope he doesn't listen to the podcast. He's going to be devastated. Yeah, Dan Brown books were amazing. I don't care who knows. Angels and Demons. It's got angels in it. It's a Christian novel. Tom Hanks was in it, so it's fine.

Yeah. He's the man. man okay review of the week I'll start okay from Joshua it's currently 4.22am in Germany hot start to a review this is awesome

I'm on my way back home from being in France for a couple of days yeah I'm sitting in an outside train station it's cold and I'm tired

because my train is at 5 a.m 5 a.m and i've been here since 1 a.m thank you guys for helping time go by fast with this podcast i feel like i'm there i could feel it yeah and it sounds desolate and it sounds kind of a bummer it feels cold like he he's he's fighting for that good parking spot yeah and i imagine there's someone there who just like i don't know probably like Northern European just held the door open for him and he like wants to say Perfectly timed it. Oh, that's great But yeah, that was crazy Joshua in Germany. I don't I don't know if he's from German

His English looks amazing in this review or like I was in France German German Josh YouTube channel German What's up? It's a German Josh. What's up guys? It's German Josh back with a trickshot video for you guys today Yeah, thank you for the review that was awesome. Yes, sorry about the train tickets along though. Yeah, that's okay It's out of our control. Yeah, that's not on us Mine's from C bills with the Z009, who actually gave us four stars. So Cbills, if you're out there and you meant to do that, then, well, maybe you aren't my review of the week, but this is funny.

It says, sometimes, it's just such an honest review. Everything about it is great. Sometimes makes me literally LOL, instead of just being like, oh, always just so funny, whatever. Heard about this from Trey's podcast and figured I'd check it out. I'm familiar with Jake from the aforementioned podcast. Love the word. So I knew it had to be pretty good. That Brad guy is funny too. Oh, that's, that's the most exciting thing I've ever read. That's cool. Brad guy, Brad guy's funny too. That Brad guy, that Jack black guy. I've listened to a handful of episodes

and plan on going back and listening to them all. There seems to be a lot of callbacks. Definitely. Yeah. So I think it would make the episodes funnier knowing the backstory. In all honesty, see, once again, just upfront, in all honesty, both Jake and Brad seem like they're fun and genuinely nice guys. And I wish I knew them in real life. That's nice.

Yeah. C-Bills. C-Bills. With a Z. Yeah. We do call back a lot. It's so hard not to, though. It's such our personality or sense of humor to bring something bring something back yeah i'll see about that the other day like if someone's

been listening uh for not very long like we said something a couple episodes ago there was like the domi phrase of like you should really go catholic yeah but i said it and i substituted catholic for a different word so it's like it's a joke on top of an inside joke like if you're new you had no idea what that was even about but i i think that sometimes i'm like should we not do that many things like that and i'm just like you know for the people that listen that they are going to really enjoy it i think and the people that don't i don't think it's going to be so detrimentally like confusing that they're going to be like i'm not going to listen to this anymore yeah we're not doing like five minute bits based on something that you had to have heard another podcast or even even if they didn't know

that inside joke like the way you said it was kind of a goofy thing and so maybe they're just like that's kind of funny that you had a funny voice it's so goofy how he did that yeah so and it maybe it makes people like be like well now i gotta listen back like this guy so yeah we're accidentally just geniuses right anyway thanks for all the five star reviews and the four star reviews c bills oh nine um yeah we we have fun so we we appreciate every single one of them we read every single one of them and we are nice guys nice guys i'm nice you are okay yeah you were very nice good nice guy got that through finally so uh brad would you like to end this episode with a little jingle sherman okay sherman young what uh song do you think uh i wish i could find that tiktok song gosh

Thanks for listening to us. I don't know why people listen to this silly podcast we make, but we enjoy it. Yeah, it is kind of wild, but we really appreciate it. Let us know what clips you'd like to see on Instagram this week if you're not watching on YouTube, because I'm starting to get worse at that and knowing like,

oh yeah, just I don't know. I don't know. I don't even know what's funny where I've lost my taste for like my discretion. You can't taste things? No. So three of the symptoms for coronavirus.

Can't taste, have a fever and hear beagles under your bed. Try three. Oh gosh. Yeah. Oh gosh. If you start sweating in your sleep tonight, you let me know. I had a dream that I had the coronavirus last week. Yeah.

I kind of, well, I was about to say I kind of want it. coronavirus last week. Yeah. Um, I kind of, well, I was about to say, I kind of want it. Obviously I don't really want it, but I just, I just want to like take the fear or the curiosity out of it. Like, I'm just like, what, what's it really feel like? How bad is this thing? I don't want it. I'm here to say, I don't want it. I don't want it. I don't really want it. You know what I'm saying though? Like, I just want to be like, I don't know. I'm not truly scared of it though. So I don't really want it. You know what I'm saying, though? I just want to be like, I don't know. I'm not truly scared of it, though, so I don't know. Yeah, there's no fear there, but I see your sentiment. I kind of see it as like a chicken box thing.

Like, are we all going to get this? Because if so, I'll just get it over with. But I've heard that you can get it more than once, so I don't think that's really. Oh, chicken chicken box. Uh-huh. Chicka chicka pock pock. Chicka chicka pom pom. Platonic ping pong.

What did you say? What was it? It was four. Platonic ping pong what do you say uh what was it it's four platonic ping pong player what was the fourth p maybe it was at the beginning anyway doesn't matter doesn't matter okay i'm gonna i gotta go on instagram and ask about this song now um thank you guys for listening the youtube comments the five star reviews really appreciate it it's fun man and uh to all the patrons thank you for supporting us We'll be making some new videos for you guys this week. Heck yeah. And Brad, any final thoughts?

What's coming to mind? Sam. Probably by the time this comes out, Ellis Custom Creations is kind of going in a different direction. Not completely, but... Whoa, this is a long final thought.

I'm making a CNC stuff. So if you want something that I can ship to you, I can ship stuff a lot easier, more like decorative, you know, cheaper, more affordable things. So, I mean, that sounds great, but you probably couldn't make me like, I don't know, like a custom, like a nightstand that has like a monogram in the top of it. Could you?

Absolutely, I could. You're kidding. I could. But this is, I'm thinking even more shippable than that. I'm thinking. I'm thinking. Hey, brother, I'm thinking I make you something big time for your living yeah yeah okay so you ship big thing you probably couldn't ship anything as small as like a coaster with my name on it that wouldn't

be worth your time oh anything anything you could coasters address signs just decorative wall art uh you just had a baby i would love to make a wooden diapers or wait what were you gonna say wooden diapers oh my gosh i was absolutely gonna say yeah instead of huggies they're called wuggies they're wooden wooden huggies wuggies uh just very pliable plywood yeah we're flexing you'd think in the summertime they they bend a little yeah yeah you'd be surprised wood you're fine yeah oh i'm just imagining lumber i'm just imagining bow like a custom-made diaper right now it just cracks me yeah like he'll grow out of it in about 10 days but if you're like pretty bougie oh my gosh yeah yeah we can we can ship multiple sizes at once in concentric designs

and so you can ship it very yeah very uh efficiently so cool anyway check us out if you're yeah if you're interested in that kind of stuff. We'd love to make you guys something. Okay. Love you to Hattie. Love you to Bo. Love you to Trish. Love you to Steve. And lastly, probably God. And I would say God.

Firstly. I should have said it first. Love you, God. Okay. All right. We're done rambling. Bye, guys. Bye.

Bye.
