Brad, last week we played some pickleball and one of the nights, um, oh my, this is perfect.
I literally just remembered something else that happened. This is great. This is hilarious.
Okay. So it was a very humid night. Oh man. Um, there were a lot of human nights last week.
We were playing. Yes. So one of them, this is what I just remembered. It was like,
I had, I got there a little earlier than you and some other people. So you may not even been there
when this happened, but, uh, Emily Duckworth, Abby McGee showed
up.
Were you there for that?
Uh, I didn't know.
I wasn't there when they showed up, but I saw them leaving.
Okay.
Abby gets there.
Sorry, Abby.
Just to me, he goes, Jake, how long have you been here?
Cause you're like way sweatier than everyone else.
It's like, okay, thanks.
You know what, Abby?
Sweet.
You look comfy.
You look, oh, did you just kind of like have a stay at home day or whatever?
Oh, did you just wake up?
Because you look tired.
You look sleepy.
Yeah.
Are you okay?
Like, have you been crying?
Yeah.
That's the best thing to ask a girl.
Just like, hey, what's wrong?
Nothing.
Why?
Oh, you just look like you've been crying for hours.
Hey, I'm sure a lot of people are telling you that you look tired, but I actually think
you look like you've been crying.
Like the opposite of last week's like double compliment like double insult like they're
maybe waiting for yeah a compliment hey i know whatever it's probably saying about your outfit
but your face looks so puffy have you been crying oh so like corona you haven't been worried about
your diet too much is that what it is like you just have a puffy face either that or you've
been crying a lot um that's great that's literally literally not even what I was going to talk about at all, but that's hilarious.
That's so fair though.
Sorry to get off topic.
Cause Abby is like the kind of person that just going to tell you how it is.
Exactly.
She's like a little kid.
Yeah.
But also you were sweating a bunch and you were wearing the, the cotton tees.
I think that just makes it worse.
I never think about it.
It never crosses my mind.
It's so much sweatier.
Until I get there.
I'm like, Ooh, I am.
I am a sweatier than everyone. Yeah. We're going to play pickleball after this was kind of impromptu so i
did not wear my more dry fit shirts underneath this so it's comfort color so i might be just
sweating out i mean he's gonna be like brad brad are you married looking like that anyway uh um
what i was actually gonna say which is not nearly as funny as what we already talked about but i went home that night and in the shower i'm like throwing some body wash on me
magnetic no exaggeration no okay no you know attraction you'll get there baby three gnats
stuck to the back of my neck like my sweat i guess at some point trapped them
i would like to say spiders out there are jealous three gnats in one hole no way is a spider pulling
three gnats in one night no way not from their webs i did it in two hours that's right played
pickleball you hear that brown recluses out there jake triplet is the new spider king three gnats
two hours one shower okay um yeah so that's it that's human pickleball that's the joke that
we're starting with jingle time and also before we get into the jingle um if your new update we are we got a thousand subscribers thank you thank
you guys um we want to be able to monetize our youtube videos which hopefully you understand
we're putting a lot of work just our editor is putting a lot of work we want to be able to
uh use some money to pay justin put your picture in now oh that was a good picture good one just
good one that was that was at justin's sister's
wedding last summer yeah he was looking good his left side is his best side it is his best i see
why he went with that left side best side and anyway so the idea that brad and i came up with
about 10 minutes ago right before we start recording but i feel good about it now i do too
is that the jingles we're still gonna record them because like spotify apple podcast they don't care
about copyright so the audio version is always still gonna have the jingles we really did not want to take those out but the
video version the youtube version uh will not have them because we want to be able to monetize
their videos and there's copyrighted music and yada yada yada but brad we're probably still gonna
record those what do you think we should do with them i don't know some put them behind a paywall
is what the good american millennial would do yeah we're still gonna they're still gonna get
recorded and so i think we're gonna gonna throw them on like the five
dollar tier like everyone who is a supporter on patreon will get the jingles two jingles every
week oh man oh that is worth the price of admission remember that thing you used to get for free
that's worth a dollar 25 a week now though yeah yeah and we need to divide it it's better
okay anyway miley cyrus it's showtime oh you gave it away it's better. Okay. Anyway, Miley Cyrus. It's showtime. Oh, you gave it away.
Now they're going to know.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, I think, I think, think that this type B.
This is beautiful. It means that it's going down on some random thoughts on why I meet
two Midwest best friends eating fast food, eating fast food on repeat.
So come on, let's have some fun and go ahead, get on your feet.
So still goes on a podcast. Yeah. Go ahead, get on your feet This is the Ghostbusters Podcast
Every Monday morning with Jake and Brad
This is the Ghostbusters Podcast
Every Monday morning with Jake and Brad
Yeah, with Jake and Brad
Dude, that made me laugh so much.
Oh, man.
Yeah, I've never seen you laugh at the opening song before.
That was by far the funniest jingle.
Really?
I don't know why.
Okay.
Oh.
Good times.
Something about that song, I don't know.
And I knew, I've obviously heard the song before.
I knew it was coming.
Yeah.
I was still not prepared for it.
I didn't, I didn't nail the notes.
So maybe that's why you're laughing.
No, it really wasn't.
It was just so just that song is just so different.
Like it's so soft and it's so loud.
Oh, Greg's upstairs.
Like we're recording this one, like at the end of a workday, like it's four 50 right
now.
EOD Greg's up.
Yeah.
EOB.
If they will.
Greg's up there on his, you know, three laptop system or three monitor system up there.
Just like shaking his head on his Excel spreadsheet.
He's doing his V lookups.
Like, oh my gosh, who is this guy?
Oh man.
Good song.
I love that you even like thought like, I wonder if wrecking ball will work.
Like, you know, that thought had to first come across your mind your mind so here's let me tell you a little bit of backstory
about how i figure out these songs most of the time is i i normally figure it out while i'm
driving which if you follow me if you subscribe to us on patreon like all my productivity with
ghost runners as well i'm driving like i record people are probably like that guy should not be
recording all this stuff while he's driving that's not safe i'm fine it's fine i did i did one today yeah it's fine oh yeah you did thank you yeah
thank you for yeah supporting the cause um and so i just like will look up like on spotify 2000s
throwbacks or whatever and just like literally i'll just play a song for a little bit and try
to like sing along to it for a second and i'm like nope that one doesn't work no no no can't hold us is way too long of a beginning verse i mean it's so long
like a full 16 my favorite song of all time yeah that's probably not true but i love it 20 top 25
for sure but it's so long at the beginning so can i just go through them all yeah can i put in a
request sure for just before we get to episode 100 okay i would like to hear like a really ratchet song
oh okay to go start this podcast like no hands or like uh get low like something like that i don't
even that's the thing is i don't even know that like i don't know no hands okay well you can
imagine you probably heard no hands go the way you move it got me in a trance dj turn it up
you know it's on no hands do it with no hands come on
no i don't know that song um you want to keep going i know maybe maybe maybe that's why i'm a
sip yeah uh i do know get low i yeah we could we could figure it out well yeah you want me to like
sing more rap songs for you that you maybe don't know or do you think that's like a fun fun thing for the podcast so it's tanner josh and heath amigos have this song tanner josh and heath the amigos oh man
what's going on jake you're home yes i'm home i got home late last night about 12 30 a.m from
yosemite yosemite i uh was up and adam train i made a video for ea sports madden did you
say it's in the game oh no you should try it though give me your best e a oh no more more
let me i know i got a little phlegmatic in there e a sports it's in the game oh that was pretty
good was it yeah yeah because if you didn't do it better than that i was gonna try but that was
better than i can do so i don't have to try now that was good if you didn't do it better than that, I was going to try, but that was better than I can do. So I don't have to try now. That was good.
If you could, okay. Take away Madden. Cause Madden's the answer besides Madden. What's
the best EA sports? Like if you could only have one EA sports game franchise growing up,
what would it have been? Uh, probably NCAA college football. Okay. I got really into that.
Even though you still had Madden though.
Madden.
Oh, I did have Madden.
Like Madden,
you always,
like Madden's a given.
Like you have Madden.
Okay, okay, okay.
So you still have a football game.
Would you still want?
No, I wouldn't go football then.
It would be
probably MVP baseball.
Okay.
But the close second
would be Tiger Woods PGA Tour.
Yes, dude.
Like I didn't,
I'm not a golfer at all
and that was a fun game.
It was sweet.
I think I've talked about it before.
Outcast song.
I like the way you move was the only song in the soundtrack.
It was so funny.
It's so weird.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I liked NBA live a lot.
When you think of NBA MVP baseball,
do you think of manual mirrors?
Yes.
Like,
yes.
Like,
have there been that many versions?
Cause I can only think of manual mirrors on the red socks,
like with this batting stage.
And they had a low rider was one of the soundtrack songs.
Oh, oh my. Yeah. That one. Yeah. So it's like all these no-name songs i've never heard of and
then it's like this classic song it's like how'd this make it on they were working on a budget
they're like hey like we're gonna get all these songs that no one's ever heard of but we really
think we're gonna go big with lowrider okay we got invested into something yeah i got a buddy
who knows someone who knows someone who knows lenny Kravitz, who helped one time assistant produce Lowrider.
Yeah.
Perfect.
We're going to add it.
Let's do it.
Yeah.
That's awesome.
Anyway, got back late last night, made a video with Trey this morning.
EA Sports is in the game.
It's in the game.
Just got back from his house recording a podcast.
Now on to number two.
Come on.
Come on.
And feeling good.
Feeling good.
Hey.
Like I should.
Go back to the early episode.
Yeah.
You nailed that.
I, yeah, I did.
And Eli did.
Yeah.
Well, Isaac.
Isaac did.
Isaac was the one that told me about it.
Oh, I thought it was Eli.
Yeah.
Brad knew.
Episode like one or two.
He's like, hey, Surfaces, this new band.
Yeah.
Look at them now.
They're doing great.
Yeah.
Great work.
Yeah.
So, okay.
Oh, yeah.
So, I mean, a lot lot happened i was gone for five days
traveling to vegas uh did not go to vegas oh that reminds me though i'm glad you brought that up
because i didn't even have this written down vegas nick great guy really awesome did you call him to
his face no i got so many so many podcast replies or so many instagram replies from podcast listeners
that cracked me up every time like i posted this this picture, Nick had these like two squirrels.
Oh, that was him.
Did you see that?
It was pretty sick.
I've never seen a guy with two squirrels on before.
And one squirrel.
Sure.
Three squirrels.
Yeah.
But two only.
Just two?
Yeah.
They usually go in packs of three or one.
So many people replied.
Just any like variation of like, can't get this in Vegas.
Something like that.
And I doubled down on squirrels.
Yeah.
Oh, I laughed every time.
And that's, that's, what's so great about having a podcast.
Probably didn't say jokes.
Right.
Um, but fun fact about him that I learned other than just, he, uh, loves Las Vegas.
Yeah.
He is, went on two dates with two different people.
And I cannot wait to tell you who these two people are.
Okay.
Oh, which one do I want to go first?
Two dates, two different people. Yeah. He went on two dates with each of these people. And I cannot wait to tell you who these two people are. Okay. Oh, which one do I want to go first? Two dates, two different people.
Yeah.
He went on two dates with each of these people.
The first one is Katie Bynum Kennedy, Trey's wife.
Really?
The second one is Lord Daigle.
Oh!
Isn't that nuts?
And now he's got two squirrels on him.
Two girls and two squirrels.
Two girls, two squirrels.
Oh, my goodness. Don't
Google it. Um, no way. How did, oh my God. Do not Google it. Who is this guy and how,
how was he getting connected? And I don't know. He, he worked for passion for like five years.
So I guess that that'll plug in. Yeah. That'll get you there. More ways than one.
Well, and Katie is from Atlanta. Now we're we're talking okay so that kind of is making sense and daigle's passionate okay and she sings wow
two dates too like two dates each one they both said yes at least one more time and then they're
like never mind this guy's a two-scroll kind of he keeps trying to tell me how to like count cards
on a blackjack table next one you go let's go to lake tahoe no like let lake tahoe is
cool but have you ever been you know just a little bit up north to vegas i think in vegas for three
days then we hit lake tahoe for the last night oh man did you talk to him about the vegas thing at
all no okay i was just curious if it like came up or like if you got to that level of like jokitude
no not at all so we'll see see if he ever listens to the
podcast that's great love you nick love you hey nick nick you're you're doing just fine if you
got dates with those girls man yeah yeah just fine okay um people probably saw this on my instagram
story i don't want to focus too much on it because i just not a complainer typically uh but had some
issues and i'll say might be a while before i'm flying american airlines uh-oh called out at american airlines at aa probably on twitter we'll see
five-step program 12-step whatever it is 12-step program to get you to yosemite was tough i bet
that's funny that was what it's actually like yeah you know speaking of steps when all this
stuff happened which i'll explain i i could feel myself going through the five stages of grief like at first there was denial it's like no no yeah and
then i got mad and then very quickly was bargaining the bargaining stage took a while this is good
yeah well honestly like i've never really been to phoenix yeah i was like james harden played
down the street college ball here that's cool that's kind of cool yeah you can see before he
had the beard he was down here yeah i mean they always. That's kind of cool. Yeah. You can see before he had the beard, he was down here.
Yeah.
I mean, they always say it's kind of a dry heat.
I don't know what that means.
It'd be cool to see firsthand.
I get it now.
And I don't get very much time just by myself in a different city.
Yeah.
I mean, what's more fun than that?
Just yourself, a hotel room, a city.
They have in and out.
We can go there.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Bargaining.
I bargained for a while.
Okay.
And I don't even know i'm at stage five but
um basically what happened here is i took four flights with american airlines this week uh the
first one got delayed 30 minutes and normally you hear like oh we'll make up that time in the air
did not make up time in the air 30 minutes yeah that was okay i know the end of this i mean i know
the next part 30 minutes is like
nothing yeah yeah like like oh okay yeah like that's really frustrating because southwest always
like intentionally plans for longer than it takes to actually get there so yeah like it's going to
take an hour and 30 minutes to get there and really you get there an hour 15 or whatever
yeah so being 30 minutes delayed is like nothing basically and especially to phoenix that's pretty
far yeah it was like a three-hour flight maybe even longer so it's like that's plenty of time to make
up time in the air i thought but i land i check my phone i'm like all right we did not make up time
my um original layover was supposed to be 30 minutes i was like well i gotta run yeah i gotta
be you know the backpack runner there's no easy way to do it yeah you're like like it's like it's
like when you're running it's like going up and you're going down you're backwards and it's my camera so i'm like i don't want to run that
fast i mean it's a padded bag but how padded is it next time i think you go you you flip it up
to the front and you just hold it and you don't you don't use your arms when you're running you're
just like because it's not going to swish as much you know what i'm saying that's true or i could
like carry almost like a briefcase like handle down and just like yeah it's going more side to side I don't hate it don't hate that that's good
don't hate that yeah oh and it was funny too I noticed I mean literally like last week the Friday
so when this is happening an episode of train eyes podcast came out where I was giving people
such a hard time I'm like who runs on escalators what is the point of that and then I mean like
you're going every two steps yeah move okay on the On the way. So scale of one to 10, as far as 10 being sprinting, how fast were you running?
I was going, uh, wow.
That's fast.
I was not sprinting.
I mean, like, um, no, no, that's a good scale though.
Yeah.
If 10 is sprinting, I was probably scale of one to 20.
Cause then it gives you a little more.
Oh, thank you.
Thank you.
Yeah.
I was probably going, um, 16.
Oh really?
So moving on.
You were hustling.
I wanted to go to yours.
Yours might miss my flight yeah use might be better going that way over there you sol i'm what yeah you're straight on till uh straight on los angeles i was so close i was so close to a great
punch line i was trying to think of like a place that's in only in airports like cinnabon or
something sort of with an l darn it is it. What is there? There's nothing.
Okay.
Um,
yeah,
there's nothing.
But you were running like I was running pretty good backpack.
I've experienced that one time in my life where I was like, like hustling and it is uncomfortable,
but you're just like,
I'm not going to see those people again.
They barely say,
see me cause I'm running so fast and they know why I'm running.
Right.
It's not cause there's a sale,
but,
but I always like they're judging me. Like they're judging me. Like, like I never see somebody. And
I think, Oh, their flight was probably delayed. And they had a small, like small layover. I was
like, that person didn't get your fast enough. They didn't get, you know, whatever. Anyway.
So I'm 16 out of 20, um, all the way. And after, you know, I'm like in terminal B,
I got to go to terminal C. So it's a long run. Okay. I'm pretty sweaty. I get there
and it looks like they have just closed the door.
Like the woman is like coming back.
Like the gate agent is coming from closing the door back to her desk.
You're very Kevin McAllister on this.
Yes.
Yeah.
And I also felt like I was sweating as if Kevin Malone was the one running.
Okay.
Like there was a lot of.
There's lots of Kevin's.
Yeah.
There was a lot of perspiration happening.
And I was just like, no, it's not closed, is it?
She's like, oh, I'm sorry.
I literally like just gave your seat away to someone on standby.
And just the way she said it, I didn't love it.
OK, it was almost like she was like, oh, dang, man, I just gave it away.
You know, there's like no remorse for me.
It's like, wow, that lucky guy.
I mean, man, if you would have been here a couple minutes earlier, he would not just
gave it away. buddy and um she's i was like okay well is there like
another flight she's like that was her last one of the day i was like wait so then i this is the
first of like a little bit of i was like so it's the last flight of the day and you still couldn't
hold it like that flight's not gonna hold anyone up in fresno right she's like yeah um but we just
american airlines we just don't hold flights.
Oh, snarky Jake started coming out.
Just a little bit.
Just, I mean, logical Jake. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm just like,
if it's the last flight of the day.
I'll say it,
snarky Jake and logical Jake,
pretty close friends.
They don't distance.
That's how you get snarky most of the time.
It is.
Let me get,
hey, let me talk to you real quick.
Did you have like the frustrated smile a little bit?
I had a mask on,
which is frustrating.
They can't even see me.
Take it off for that. Be like, I'm mad at you. And then put it back up.
Yeah. All right. Um, so the mask was on, which even hold it. Yeah. What made it less fun to,
it was like, you don't even know. Sure. So I was like last fight of the day. If like you could
have held it, she's like, I'm sorry. It's their policy. We don't hold flights. And I was like,
I don't, I don't like that. Was it okay. Was it the Panera bread? Like eight 58, they're closed kind of thing.
Or was it like truly on the dot?
Like, you know, like Panera bread, nine o'clock, like, Hey, we closed at nine o'clock.
It's not nine o'clock yet.
It's eight 58.
I truly don't even know.
Cause I don't even know when they like close the door when they're supposed to, you know,
it's just like, I just ran there and they were closing it.
So I don't even know.
Okay.
And so from there, it's just a tassel of like, well, we don't have any other flights tonight.
Um,
tomorrow,
the earliest one isn't until like noon.
It's like,
that's a bummer,
but I guess that's all I can do.
And,
um,
she gave me a hotel voucher,
food voucher,
but the Phoenix airport closed down about five.
Like nothing was open.
It's like,
I can't even use this food voucher.
What night was that?
This is a Thursday night,
Thursday night.
They're closing at five.
Yeah.
The last flight of the day goes out at like five 15. Is a smaller airport you wouldn't think so it's phoenix yeah
that's what i would assume it's like i think it must be corona stuff okay because even trying to
get to yosemite it was very hard to find something that wasn't like almost a 19 24 hour like trip
like layovers are nuts right now if you're trying to travel really okay sorry it's getting boring
let me get to the no the heavy stuff um the stuff. I don't know what the heavy stuff is.
Basically.
I made this Instagram story.
This is fine.
Yeah.
Uh,
and it was like,
is anyone else at Phoenix?
And a girl applies,
um,
Ashlyn.
What up?
She's like,
Hey,
if you want to play pickleball,
my friends are playing at seven.
I was like,
no way.
You brought your paddle.
No,
I did.
Oh,
sure.
I didn't bring my paddle,
but, um, it was super fun. and once i got in the car with her i realized she doesn't listen to the podcast or
anything like she didn't even know i like i get in the car she's like so you ever played pickleball
before oh it just happens to me it's like oh you don't know we're randomly playing pickleball yeah
i thought for sure it was like hey oh you're stuck let me arrange pickleball for you this is a rich
opportunity for you i like it was sweet it was just cool issues yeah the first question so you played pickleball before
it's like you have no so you don't know that i'm like oh man i had played a league game last night
literally you should have been there's a scene in uh modern family where cam uh one of the guys in
the show he eric's on street he uh like fills in on drums for this, like, like young
punk rock band. And he doesn't remember how to play very well. And he's like, Oh, whoops,
my sticks were in the wrong hand. And then he switches and just starts like jamming. You should
have been like, you should have been like, wait, like I'm normally right-handed when I like eat.
And, uh, and when I like write and stuff, should I use that like my right hand for this instead?
And they're like, yeah, I would probably go right handed. And then you just start smoking.
Okay.
I think I'm getting it.
Yeah.
This is kind of easy.
Yeah.
You should have just like acted like you've never played before.
That is funny.
Yeah.
Just like,
okay,
that's a pickleball.
What a funny name for a sport.
Pickleball.
No,
I've never heard.
So you use a pickle as the ball.
Sorry.
I just,
yeah,
I don't know.
I guess I was gotten Kansas.
Um,
so it was just fun. And, uh, I learned later, I guess I was just a, I just, I don't know. I guess I haven't gotten Kansas. So it was just fun. And
I learned later, I guess I was just a big batch, we'll call it batch of Mormons. Who knew? Which
makes sense because they are the nicest people I've ever met. Right. I was thinking back to the
last time I was kind of stranded in a city, San Diego, 2011, a group of Mormons, group of sisters
took us all in. Stay with them. Yeah. Wow. They're very nice. Like a bunch of sisters and just one guy, right?
I'm just kidding.
It's rich. It's too easy.
It's too easy.
Scott, I love you, man.
Scott Sell, one of the best friends of ours.
Oh, man.
Yeah.
Scott loves to text us live
while he's watching the pod. I guarantee you he's going to say, loves to like text us like live, like live while he's like watching
the pod.
I guarantee you he's going to say, oh, all, all those girls in one guy.
Ha ha ha ha ha.
He'll respond like that or something.
Oh, that's awesome though.
Okay.
Anyway, Mormons are the best.
They showed me a temple.
Yeah.
And we're at Gilbert, Arizona.
It was great.
Got recognized by a guy named Dustin who didn't even really know
he's like are have you been in a couple Trey Kennedy videos I was like no way I have on the
pickleball courts yeah it was awesome yeah yeah that's that's the coolest feeling it happened to
me once at Chick-fil-a yeah hey Brad Ellis I'm like I don't know who you are yeah it is awesome
yeah I'm always so fired up yeah I'm like what do you do let's just talk do you if you want a
picture we take a picture but if not like we can just talk like 15 minutes i don't care what do you do man that's
cool um it was dope and then some other random girl from instagram took me hiking that was cool
i had a great night i basically was just like i don't want to like spend the night just in my
hotel because i'll be bargaining yeah yeah it's bargaining yeah so i stayed up crazy late hanging
out um and it was really fun. That is fun.
And then the other last thing about like the whole travel issues.
Then I get to the airport the next day.
I go to the gate agent to like, hey, here's my thing.
Here's my whatever ticket.
I need a seat number.
She's like, oh, so you're actually on standby.
I was like, wait, now I I stand by.
This does not seem like it should be the policy she's like well
I mean the flight was already completely booked and so we I can't just kick someone else off
to put you on I was like funny you say that I was like you would think right you that seems
illegal doesn't it I didn't say that but in my head I'm like you don't see the irony yeah
and so I really there was nothing I could do. And so I'm like, okay, just help me understand,
like, are you saying hypothetically,
like I could be here forever?
Yeah.
If I'm just always on standby.
She's like, yes, but I mean,
these things just have a way of working themselves out.
You know, you'll be fine.
I'm like, that is just not giving me confidence.
Yeah, that's not what I want to hear.
I like playing this trip.
No one knows each other.
They only know me.
They've already been hanging out all day.
You know, I'm so FOMO of the whole thing. i want to hang out with them they're gonna have all these inside jokes
when i get there yeah yeah um but i never really threw much of a fit everyone on instagram was like
dude just like make a make a fit in there you'll get on that plane i'm like it's not my style i
don't know if that's really even true like if if it's 100 capacity it's 100 capacity yeah i don't
know they can't just kick somebody out i don't know yeah i don't know
yeah whatever if i would have went crazy who knows what could happen but i was just like you know
what i just try to have a perspective i was like the worst case like all i do is i want to see my
friends it's not like a life or death right you know like i'll be fine you're not getting home
for your wife's labor or something yeah yeah i didn't throw a fit i ended up getting on the plane
it worked out and uh that gate agent right when i scanned my ticket she's
like see i told you to work out like oh shut up oh man i could not believe she said that just don't
worry imagine how stupid you look now remember when you were all stressed that's like classic
like uh it's such a marriage um like dynamic like i told you i told you it worked it's like like you think that you're being so kind and like helpful by saying that, it's such a marriage, um, like dynamic. Like I told you, I told you it worked.
And it's like, like you think that you're being so kind and like helpful by saying that,
but it's really like, don't say that.
Not in that instance.
Like, just let it go.
So, uh, yeah, I, um, a couple other things I just remembered cause I wrote them down
cause I didn't want to forget.
Yeah.
Um, that first night getting delayed when I'm in the hotel, just one thing after another
wouldn't happen.
The automatic doors to get to the hotel wouldn't work. couldn't get in so i'm like knocking on the doors
prying them open and i'm trying to pry them open and he's trying to pry them open it's not working
he's like i'm gonna try the emergency exit i'm like oh man it's a dry heat you know it's a dry
heat yeah yeah yeah and i've just had the longest day they finally give me my this is all so true
by the way they give me my hotel room key that't work. I have to go back down to the lobby, wait in line again,
get another hotel room key.
Um,
that's one of those times.
I think that it's nicer to be by yourself than with somebody else.
Cause sometimes when you're with somebody else,
you like get like more compound the negativity of like,
Oh my gosh,
this is so frustrating.
When you're by yourself,
it's just like,
this kind of sucks,
but I'm going to tell people about it later.
And it's like, it's sucked. But like at the time it's like whatever you know yeah
yeah so i think that's why why is my key not working this is so frustrating but if it's like
your wife is waiting as well and she's kind of complaining and you're like oh my key yeah i told
you it would work out eventually wife anyway one last cherry on top i already i checked my bag with all my things so all i have is camera no clothes no deodorant no nothing um i go to have a little bathroom break
that night in the hotel i'm sitting down uh the toilet leaks apparently what boxers soaked
and i have nothing else so did you go commando for pickleball uh no no this is post pickleball
oh okay uh but commando
on that flight to fresno no doubt commando to fresno oh that's the cheese that's that's the
cheese hello oh my gosh it was crazy how much happened and what i was like this is this is good
uh this is good just soaked yeah that's too bad it was flooded bum know it was flooded. Bummer. But I made it. It was fine. Yeah.
Oh, something else.
Flight home.
No air conditioning for the first flight back yesterday.
Not until we got to 10,000 feet.
Wet heat.
It was a wet heat.
Holy cow. There was plenty of wetness in that one.
I'll tell you that.
Air was blowing, but it just wasn't very cold.
There was five of us on the flight from Fresno to Dallas.
We're like, is it 500 degrees where you're at and it's like yeah like I'm like
I can feel sweat yeah so that was American Airlines and in my second flight of the day
yesterday this is crazy I know I'm sounding so complaining I'll be done after this fine but it's
all true and it's all American Airlines fault yeah um we American Airlines let's just American
Airlines is the bad airline is what you're saying.
I,
uh, we get on this plane last one of the night.
Uh,
everyone's looking forward to get,
it's like 11 o'clock flight and like,
Hey,
um,
something happened and we're going to need you guys all to D plane.
And so we all have to take our luggage,
get off,
get reprinted boarding passes and I'll get back on the plane.
And so it delayed us like another 45 minutes.
It was like, yeah, okay. I was kind of like, I'm done with this. And so it delayed us like another 45 minutes. It was like,
yeah.
Okay.
I was kind of like,
I'm done.
I'm done with this.
I was already past this stuff that happened earlier.
Cause I had such a great time in Yosemite.
If I was like now that the,
the no AC D plane I've done,
uh,
done with American for a while.
I think,
uh,
yeah,
that D plane might be one of the worst words in American language,
like English language,
like that.
I hate that word because like it is such
a process and it's such a frustrating, like, you know, front middle aisle kind of thing.
Like they don't do it that way. Deplanning people just stand up and start like trying to file out
so poorly. And it's just like, oh my gosh, this is so frustrating. And it's hot, you know,
because the AC, even if the AC is on, it's still like, it's such a narrow blast. You're like,
it's pointed at me, but I don't feel it.
It's not.
Yeah.
I don't know where I need to adjust.
All of a sudden you're freezing.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You wake up.
Yeah.
Okay.
Well in the spirit, no pun intended, let's a new frontier of bashing American airlines.
Um, well, we're really just talking about Southwest airlines cause I think we are all
in agreement.
That's the best.
It is the best.
Um, my cousin's
husband works for southwest as a pilot he used to be the pilot of air force two that's not a real
thing yeah it is the brand of shoe or the airplane the airplane i did not know that was a thing yeah
what does it hold uh the vice president no yes they separate yes oh vice president and i think
he's flown Melania.
Like, I don't know.
Anyway, Air Force Two.
Now he works for Southwest.
But like all these airlines are obviously they're not as many people are flying on them.
And so most of the airlines are like basically laying off their pilots.
Oh, really?
Furloughing them, if you will.
That's like the nice way of saying, you know, like we talked about.
You're being deplaned from working.
But Southwest is doing this cool thing where it's still not great i mean obviously conditions are what they are but um where they are giving people the the pilots the opportunity to take um you know time off like set like standard
like set times off and get paid 60 of whatever you would normally get paid oh interesting and so
he like but but the crazy thing this is what's like interesting enough for the podcast
is he chose to be off for six months,
but they gave the option of six months to five years.
So you could take five years off of work.
And earn 60% of your salary?
And earn 60% of your salary.
And some of those guys,
like I don't know how much Jason makes,
but I was talking to Jason's,
my uncle, Jason's father-in-law.
And he said like some pilots make $300,000 a year.
So 60% of that, 180,000.
Is that right?
Yeah, that seems right.
Yeah, you're pretty good with that stuff.
180,000.
That's a lot.
That's plenty for me.
That's enough for me.
For five years of a vacation.
Of nothing?
Yes.
How cool.
Good for Southwest.
I know.
I know. they're doing all
that without charging for bags too where they get all the money from wow southwest is really cool
they are cool i listened to i mean this is probably four or five years ago but the how i built this
podcast yes which is a good podcast recommend it um i think it's npr but yeah he interviews like
founders and ceos and southwest is really interesting really yeah it was really good
seems like he's a he's a good dude.
So anyways, fly Southwest.
Yeah, fly Southwest.
Isn't it kind of funny?
Speaking of pilots, I was kind of thinking this last night.
I don't know how I feel about it exactly, but they get done with their job, which is flying, and they stand there and look at every single person they just served.
How'd I do?
What do you think of that landing?
I mean, I guess sometimes they do this, but it'd like a chef just like standing over your table while you're while you're eating or even you
standing over a family's table while they're eating pretty smooth huh you like that stain
oh yeah what do you think it's yeah i sanded that one pretty good 220 grit yeah 220 yeah i wouldn't
slide your fork across it might skirt pretty fast because it's pretty smooth yeah so you can see this is a edge grain here
face grain here and
just coming off the top is
the end grain yeah
I think it's cool it's like a noble thing
I'm always like thank you you know but
for some reason last time was the first time I ever thought about that
it is weird that they just like stand there
and just wait to be thanked
tell me I did a good job but I do love it
there's something about it.
That's just like,
like pilots are always just have like this cool look to them.
I'm like,
yeah,
thanks man.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Yeah.
I don't know what it is.
Flying.
Flying's a good time.
Flying's a good time.
Oh yeah.
Air Force two.
Oh yeah,
that's right.
That's where we were.
Air Force two.
Good for him.
Uh,
yeah.
Jason,
my,
my brother-in-law said that Joe Biden is like hilarious and awesome though. Really? Yeah. That's pretty cool. He flew for Biden and for him. Yeah. Jason, my brother-in-law said that Joe Biden is like hilarious and awesome though.
Really?
Yeah.
That's pretty cool.
He flew for Biden and for Pence.
And I think that he said Pence was a great guy too.
He's just very like serious and by the book.
And Joe Biden, of course, was just more of a, yeah, more of a jokester and stuff.
He said he loved Joe.
That's kind of cool.
I think he was like one of six maybe or eight pilots.
So there was quite a few of them.
Yeah.
That's so sweet.
I can't believe you never told me before.

I had a thought in the shower a few days ago.
This is a non-nat shower. This is a, you know, non-nat shower, not an orange shower. This is just me, me and the soap. Okay. I'm a little afraid, kind of like one time when I brought
up the coffee pee thing. I'm like, I hope this is relatable. I feel like it may not be. It was
though. It ended up being
very related yeah it just wasn't to you i guess yeah i'm a little more nervous about this one
i caught myself this is just my thought process in the shower and i want to see if you're like
oh i've been there okay i'm kind of you know guys we all use body wash i think most people
use body wash i'm a bar i'm a soap soap bar oh. It's cheaper. Cheaper. It's cheaper.
Maybe most people do use, like, do girls use body wash?
I've never seen them shower.
I can't tell you.
Catherine's married, so she's like, hey, please don't tell people what I, no, I'm just kidding.
Girls use body wash, yeah.
Do they?
Okay, cool.
Good job, you guys.
Girls, dang it.
Let's do it.
Y'all.
Good job, y'all.
Good job, y'all.
You know, and most of the time, it's just like a light rubbing all over just like
cover myself with it everywhere all the exposed areas but my thought was like you know it's been
a while i've played a lot of pickleball i think it's time for like a deep clean like do you ever
have like a different kind of clean yeah yeah yeah okay because okay i'm like this time i'm like i'm
really gonna scrub like the back of my knees oh the back like you don't need like deep clean like
your room.
Like, OK, I should probably like I should go for the baseboards this time.
Yeah.
Like I'm going to get that corner that no one's even going to see.
But I'm still going to clean it.
The dust bunny over there.
Yeah.
So I cleaned my baseboards.
OK.
Like cleaned them good.
Yeah.
Good for you.
Underneath.
Under on top.
Oh, yeah.
On the side.
I'm talking everything.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I played sand volleyball.
And let's just say I had sand almost everywhere. Deep almost everywhere no yeah go keep going i mean that's basically
it just like once in every like two weeks i'm like it's time to go behind the years
so let's talk about and like yeah like scrub the bottom of my feet i'm like i don't know if i need
to clean this but i guess i will so let's let's talk about this real quick i mean obviously
like let's not get too crass about it, but what parts of your body do you
normally wash in the shower?
I mean, almost everything gets washed.
I don't shampoo.
We talked about that.
I'm not a shampoo guy.
Okay, right.
But body wash, I mean-
You put it on your-
Most skin gets touched.
On your legs?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
See, I don't.
You let it run off?
Yeah, I don't really wash my legs ever.
Unless it's like there's mud on them or something.
Yeah, then you need to get it off. Or unless I'm doing, you know, the, the, you know, spring
cleaning, you know, the deep, the deep clean.
Okay.
I wonder that too, but like there was spots on my back that have maybe never had soap
on them.
Oh, see, I've never been clean.
I think I almost always do my back.
Really?
Yeah.
I don't know if I like, like I definitely do like over the shoulder back.
I don't know if I do like awkward, like, you know, double jointed on the back too much,
but I'm like,
I got a,
I got a little leaf.
So I got a little better reach with that.
Okay.
See,
I feel like,
yeah,
there's spots that will never be touched by soap.
Yeah.
But no one's ever brought up to me like,
Hey Jake,
the middle of your back smells bad.
Golly,
that stinks back there.
Yeah.
The small of your back is a stink of your back.
The other day I was doing like a cheerleader pyramid with some people.
So I was like really giving them my back and no one said anything you know but maybe they
were just like let's get this thing over with let's keep going yeah jake why don't you be on
top yeah right you know a cheerleader pyramids yeah yeah that's how i've never been on top i'm
gonna be honest oh big man problems you know couldn't run the ball in mighty mites can't be
on top it was always it was always a base what are they called baser i don't know yeah base yeah base yeah not a flyer yeah so i just i just very rarely clean my legs which is
so weird like legs sweat just like everything else so you just let soap from the upper body
just run down your legs i guess what do you mean you guess is that how it works i mean i don't know
how much that's running though is what i'm saying like i don't know it may not even be running i
think it's just getting water like i don't know how much i'm truly even like this makes you feel
way better i'm getting way cleaner yeah so then
one time i learned that one of my friends like doesn't really wash his body what do you mean
like i think you like like at least he didn't wash his arms ever he said he's like yeah i never
washed my arms it's like what like that seems obvious to me but then i say i don't wash my
legs such easy right like lazy you have to bend down close to the ground the ground sucks like
you don't want to be by the ground you know i, I don't know. I do clean my feet a lot
though, because I sweat so much. You know, when I play pickleball, I'm like, I got to clean my feet.
Huh? See, I don't like clean my feet that much. But then if you clean the bottom of your feet,
you got to be real careful not to slip and slide. It is a little crazy. You know? Yeah. It's a little
bit wild. Yeah. So why did I almost, I almost slipped in the shower the other day. i'm trying to remember why i almost fell i told isaac about it i closed my eyes for some
reason i think i was trying to like do something why did i close my eyes in the shower i closed
my eyes and lost my balance and like had to hang out of the curtain right i can't remember why
though it was a good story dang it oh man you ever afraid who doesn't clean their arms yeah
he's a soccer player if that makes it better i don't know he probably like he probably sweats
one eighth as much as i do though you know he's a skinny little guy yeah you know just works out
he's like i'm so sweaty and it's like he's got like a little ring of sweat under like on his
v of his shirt low resting heart rate right plays acoustic guitar you know that guy yeah studied
abroad he didn't actually he was wanted to yeah he regretted not though yeah and uh you
know somebody speaking of just like the differences in sweat uh me and some of the people went to go
and take some pictures by the lake one day and then another group went on they were like hey
our airbnb has like bikes in the garage so we're gonna go on a little bike ride that's fine we're
in like a national park in the mountains i don't think they fully comprehended like how much biking
there's gonna to be.
And so they didn't even get super far.
And they're like, let's just go back.
And so I'm already back at the house.
And Andrea comes in first.
Andrea is, she's the girl.
Maybe I've talked around the podcast.
This is like our fourth trip together.
We met in Australia and we only see each other on trips.
Went to Kauai, went to Tulum.
You know, we don't even really talk.
We only just talk or see each other on trips.
It's great.
But she was like at least one or two sport college athlete,
like very athletic, very skinny. And just like, she comes back to the house first.
I'm like, wait, weren't you biking with him?
She's like, oh yeah, they're right behind me.
And not a glint of sweat on her face.
Truly.
Like I'm ever noticing, like, I thought she was biking with him,
but she's not even sweating.
The rest of the crew, and they are dying.
And just so much sweat.
Oh, I'm never much spent. Oh,
I'm never biking again.
Oh,
it was so funny.
The contrast.
I didn't really want to bring it up to him.
Right. Yeah.
But those people,
surely they recognized it.
Surely they were like,
okay,
this girl's doing just fine.
I don't know how.
Yeah.
The altitude and the,
yeah,
the Hills and who knows,
maybe she got the best bike.
Let's just say Andrea had her tires are fully aired up. Yeah. Everyone else had like the Zoe day Chanel, maybe she got the best bike let's just say Andrea had the mountain bike her tires were fully aired up
yeah everyone else had like the Zoe Deschanel
like basket on the front like just a nice
little rider street rider or something I don't know
oh it was so funny yeah Noah busted
through that door his face is so red
and he's just like I need to lay
down
and Andrew's just there like having like a cup of coffee or
something and just like a cup of coffee
that's like yeah that's like miserable sounding.
Like you're like so tired and like sweaty.
It's like, I just want a hot steam and cup of Joe.
That's how on out of shape she was because of the bike ride.
Like, oh, I could go for coffee right now.
Good for her.
That's great, man.
So yeah, that's something that happened.
Oh, you got anything else?
I got nothing exciting at all.
Let me just read off what I have. And you can say, I want to talk more about that,
but I just don't think they're exciting at all. Here's the most exciting one. And I genuinely
think this, this will gauge the rest of them. Um, is I learned something new on my phone to
recently. Oh, that's kind of fun. But it's like, Brad, everyone probably already knew that,
but just in case they don't uh i know on like a lot of
apps you can like swipe over to like go back like swipe over to go like from left to right
go back left to right you can do that on every single app oh i had no idea i had no idea the
other day i was with scott and he was like texting his wife and then he just like swiped back to go
like to the original message screen i was like no way i didn't say anything to him because i was kind of embarrassed i was like
i you probably washed your legs so i'm not gonna ask you but i'm like he just swiped he swiped
left right there like and i i was like maybe i can do that too on my phone i don't know he's
got a different phone than me you know also ironically to swipe light swipe left on his wife
we got it to, online dating joke.
You know the thing.
Anyway,
so you've always just been
like top left,
like back arrow.
That's what you always touch.
Your poor thumb.
Except for like Twitter
because I was like,
Twitter has this cool thing
where you can just like swipe it.
It's so nice.
I wish every app had this.
Oh,
they do.
They do.
They do,
baby.
So I don't know how I figured that out or missed that but somebody
out there right now is listening to us on spotify and they're gonna take their thumb and just swipe
and be like well i'll be well go yeah you gotta be careful though spotify because you also swipe
oh no swipe right to left is q no no it is left or right left or right gosh oh i i know because
whenever i i put hattie's you know quiet time playlist on i want a mulan story and then sleeping beauty and then
songs from mary poppins okay easy cue yeah left or right left or right left or right uh so that's
pretty on par with me not thinking that paypal would have an app like throwback to that episode
like that's pretty on par like oh yeah they they probably do have an app well i knew that you could
do the gesture left to right.
I just didn't.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Every, everybody has an app.
There's an app for the smallest thing, Jake.
So surely one of the biggest PayPal, you know, paying electronic payment things has an app.
Yeah, they do.
Have you downloaded it yet?
They do.
Yes.
But I still forget to use it.
I still like PayPal, Justin and your aunt on a computer.
Like I don't have to do this.
I don't know why in my head I'm like, Venmo is mobile, PayPal is desktop.
Because Venmo doesn't let you do it on desktop at all.
Maybe that's why.
That's why.
That's why.
That's why.
Okay.
So that's the most exciting thing on my list.
Okay.
Other things.
I'm just going to just go down the list.
I was at the coffee shop the other day and there was this old man that came up and talked
to me and we talked for an hour and a half.
His name was uncle Roger.
Whoa.
Yep.
That's kind of interesting.
I know that's cool.
Yeah.
He is a Christian guy and he saw, I don't even know.
I think I mentioned something about my church and he had his Bible out and he's like, come
on over here.
Like, like we were like kind of talking back and forth.
The power went out in the coffee shop.
And so he's like, Hey, was that you?
You know, classic like old man. And I was like, I don i don't think it was me i just i pressed the detonate button on
my computer but you know it was like this like classic like terrible jokes back and forth and he
goes hey come on over yeah next thing you know next thing i know he's got his arms around your
waist and he's saying packers he was 80 some years old old dude and was just a super nice guy
it just talked to me uh but he's i was like
and what's your name he's like he like paused for a second he goes uncle roger really and he's like
everyone remembers if i say uncle roger that's a good point yeah so i'm gonna start so wise i know
they know stuff like that i'm gonna start being called big daddy brad it's just easier if you
call me big daddy brad i love hold on yeah Yeah. Um, I love the ability that like people, like we all
have as humans to like change your sense of humor, like immediately based on who you're talking to,
like an old man says something like that. And you're like, I have to say like an old man thing
back. And I have to be like one and a half times volume, you know, a little bit slower and more
articulate. Yeah, no, I, I was about to press the detonate button on my computer. But besides that,
you know, you're laughing at yourself to like, give him a cue.
Like, I'm being funny.
I know it's a funny, it's a joke.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Right.
Right.
Yeah, exactly.
And he loved it.
I had an hour.
That is awesome though.
Or do you have plans to meet up more?
He called me the next day and asked if I wanted to come pray with him, but I already had plans. So, but he has my number. So maybe he'll call me again. That's cool. No. Or do you have plans to meet up more? He, he called me the next day and asked if I wanted to come pray with him,
but I already had plans. So, but he has my number. So maybe he'll call me again.
That's cool. Yeah.
Hopefully. I mean, we, we had an old man into our life and get each other's phone number,
Ola, and haven't seen him since.
Dude, I know the other day we had three guys for pickleball and I was like, I need a fourth.
Maybe I should text Ola. I didn't because we eventually got Peter, but.
I like your text messages.
Hello. I like and emphasize that.
Yeah.
I talked to someone for an hour and a half this week to Andrea.
This girl.
No, I wish she was biking though.
Oh yeah.
A girl on my bus from Fresno to the airport.
Tell me more about this.
I put her on my story because I was like, I just have a feeling we're going to see each
other again.
And it'd be cool to call back to it. see her again but okay still cool yeah um so wait
why were you on a bus by the way you go from that you fly into the airport and then take a bus
and then it was kind of wild at airbnb because like noah was like hey i'll come grab you from
the airport and then uh we looked and it was like oh that's a five hour round trip i was like dude
don't like oh do that wow okay yeah i was like there's like a public bus we'll just do that and it was like good for no shout out noah
for that he's probably like he's probably like dude i am tired of biking i will come get you
uh yeah he's like i would love to sit in a car and not have to pedal it myself right um but yeah
we were the only two on this bus and i wasn't really planning on talking to her because like
i intentionally when i had my my wet underwear the night before, I was like, I'm going to stay up late because I know I have a like a two hour flight and a two hour bus ride.
Like I could sleep and make up sleep there.
I happen to kind of sit next to her, but it was because I had the handicap seat.
So much leg room in a bus.
Yeah.
I was kind of like, why didn't she take the seat?
Yeah.
But I unintentionally sat next to her and she just struck up a convo and it was great.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, that's really the whole story.
It's just we had an hour and a half long conversation.
Where is she from?
St. Louis, actually.
Oh, gosh.
Never mind.
OK.
So the next thing I have on my list, I'm just kidding.
That's great.
It was awesome.
We talked for an hour and a half straight.
And yeah, she's really great.
Did you have more than small talk?
Like, did you feel like you got you got to know her pretty well?
Sure.
Yeah.
I mean, I don't really like small talking anyway, so, you know, try to get right into
something.
Yeah.
She's Egyptian.
Her name is Zabeda.
Oh, okay.
Which is a cool name.
Yeah, it is a cool name.
Yeah.
Zabeda.
Yeah.
Her sister's name was Zabeda.
Oh, Zabeda.
Her sister's name was Zalpha.
So she was Zabeda.
I named this one Zalpha. This one Zabedaeda i named this one's the alpha this one's a bit i
like this one's better than you yeah there you go uh okay next on the list we're refinancing our
house that's not that exciting yeah how cool thanks dave um next uh i beat a tennis pro in
pickleball aka tracy cooper she's she's a mom she's actually a grandma, but she is the most in shape grandma I've ever
seen. Well, yeah. You even called her out. You're like, uh, some of her low resting heart rate the
other night. Cause she was like, I'm getting sweaty. You're like, Oh, whatever, Tracy,
you got a resting heart rate of 55. I need to record this and put it on the Patreon or something.
Brad and his mom, like bickering at each other. It's hilarious. Yeah. So I knew her because of
her son. I'd, I'd let her because of her son i'd let her
bible her son's bible study for like whatever it was eight years no not that long a long time uh
so i knew her for a while and she's a huge tennis player and she came and played pickleball with us
and she was good yeah she's awesome yeah anyway but i i beat her so and y'all just trash talk so
much like first part of the game you like that tracy that's what what's happening when you come to meadowbrook that's right you're in my house now
tracy i play tennis anymore oh i bet if we played tennis she would whoop me oh my gosh you know you
would be so sweaty uh oh yeah why are you so sweaty you just show up yeah really not okay
that's next uh peter came and helped me um me change some light fixtures in our house.
Oh, how exciting is that?
Oh, wow.
And then we watched the NBA together with our friend Kevin.
Not that exciting, but it was on.
Still cool.
Yeah, the Rockets.
Red glare.
Yeah.
Who are we rooting for?
Do you have a team that you want to see in the finals?
I don't think I want to see the Rockets. I don't either.
I don't know why. I just don't think Russell West to see the rockets i don't either i don't know why
i just don't think russell westbrook and james harden like i think they're very good but i don't
think they're like winners if that makes sense and they're just not that likable yeah yeah i agree
anyone who travels and like gets away with it yeah like seems like a cheater you know it's like yeah
hey you don't play by the rules even though it's like the refs like job to call it like unofficial
rules yeah it's like you're you're doing sketchy things i don't like by the rules, even though it's like the refs like job to call it unofficial rules. Yeah.
It's like you're, you're doing sketchy things.
I don't like it.
Yeah.
That's why I only root for other people.
The other people who definitely have a perfect, you know, moral compass and, you know, never
make any mistakes.
If I don't have like a dog in the fight sports wise, I always root for like, not truly the,
what's the opposite of underdogs?
The favorites.
I just like watching like star studded matchups up dog.
Yeah.
Like,
like I don't want to watch,
I don't want to watch,
I don't know.
Like I'm really,
I would,
I want the Lakers to go to the finals cause I want to see LeBron in the
final.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You know?
Um,
so anyway,
okay.
Um,
speaking of sports,
okay.
By the time this comes out,
the chiefs have already beat the Texans 98 to four.
Let's talk about it.
Let's talk about it. Let's talk about it.
It was a 98 to four.
Yeah, we did give up two safeties.
Somehow the long snappers just terrible.
So a few punts just went.
We got we got went away.
I think we tried to do this one time last year.
Can we do this this year, though?
Like bold predictions?
Yeah.
OK, so what we did, we ever actually like put it on the podcast last time
no i still remember trying to edit it and we talked about that one game for 11 minutes so
it's like i don't want to do that okay so let's go quick so so explain bold predictions real quick
predictions the chiefs game has not happened yet but oh wait how's this gonna work time
for week two okay for week two so that so we can already say that chiefs won this game let's say
the score was 35 14 okay 35 14 easy
dub um darwin thompson somehow like came off the bench third string running back and scored two
touchdowns i don't know how that happened that was sweet but he was doing really good so okay so in
week two we're gonna have a bold prediction for the chiefs that way for when you guys watch the
games i'm sure you guys also watch all the chiefs games secretly i want everyone to become a chiefs
fan that doesn't have a dog in the fight it's's a good time. Like, it'd be really fun to watch a Chiefs game if you have something to watch for.
So not only are they the best, but also you have, uh, Jake and Brad's bold predictions
to keep up to date with.
Yes.
So the second week, week two Chiefs game is the Chiefs versus the Chargers.
Okay.
Okay.
Who's the Chargers quarterback these days?
Tyrod Taylor, I think, but they also drafted Herbert, I think is his name.
Uh, so. Has anyone athletic ever been named Herbert? Surely not. I don't think so. Justin Herbert. days tyrod taylor i think but they also drafted herbert i think is his name uh so has anyone
athletic ever been named herbert surely not i don't think so justin herbert that guy that guy
is his last name okay that's oh you thought it was first name there's no chance johnson you are
a president or you work in janitorial services yeah hey herb we got another throw up over here. Ah, crap. Yeah. Herb. Yeah.
Okay.
So, okay.
Both the Chargers.
Yeah.
Bold prediction.
Let's do one each offense defense.
Okay.
Offensively, Hilaire scores three touchdowns, one of them throwing.
Oh, that's a fun one.
Hot dog.
Hot dog.
Yeah.
He's just running the reverse and
all of a sudden boom all right your turn sammy okay i gotta go sammy sure for first bowl prediction
sammy watkins eight catches one touchdown but one of uh one of the catches was a catch and he ran
for 70 plus yards without scoring a touchdown okay that. That's a great ball prediction. So he's got,
he's got multiple,
multiple,
just big,
big plays.
Um,
Sammy's like my guy.
So,
okay.
Okay.
Uh,
my defensive ball prediction is this one's going to get specific.
Okay.
Chris Jones causes a fumble.
Okay.
Um,
Oh,
but he doesn't get it.
Frank Clark picks it up,
tries to lateral it to Daniel Sorenson.
Bad idea.
Doesn't make a good pitch.
Oh, now we got another fumble on our hands.
But don't worry.
Brashad Breeland picks it up and lands on it.
Oh, OK.
But he doesn't score.
He just lands on it.
Good for him.
Yeah.
So four different Chiefs players are involved in one defensive play.
That's my bold prediction.
I like it.
I like it.
OK.
Let's say, bold prediction i like it i like it okay um let's say uh bold prediction tyron matthew
intercepts the ball with one hand oh one-handed interception by tyron matthews honey badger yeah
honey badger so okay one-handed interception so so as you're watching the chiefs game this week
come go back to this with regional coverage probably on the 325 game against the chargers
uh chiefs are going to win it all again people are going to get so annoyed by the chiefs Go back to this. With regional coverage, probably, on the 325 game against the Chargers.
Chiefs are going to win it all again.
People are going to get so annoyed by the Chiefs in a couple years because they're going to just win all the time.
But you guys will know, like, before they won their first one, Brad predicted it.
Yeah.
Like, season one of, or before the first game of the season, they won the Super Bowl.
Brad knew. I think I'm just going to make it a tradition to record my kids saying, we're going to the Super Bowl.
Number one. You know, every single year I'm going to have them say a tradition to record my kids saying, we're going to the Super Bowl. Number one.
You know, every single year I'm going to have them say that.
They called it.
Yeah.
So, okay.
That was Chiefs.
Cool.
I think we'll get into some voice memos soon.
Great.
One last thing before we do that.
Just another quick story of Yosemite that's not complaining.
They're just kind of happy.
And it was something that reminded me of you, Brad.
We did a hike two nights ago, our last night Yosemite.
There was beautiful, just like this overlook, almost like Grand Canyon-esque, just like
massive canyons.
And we're at the top of it, like super, super cool.
That does remind me, or remind you of me.
Just beautiful, just Grand Canyon-esque.
Easy to overlook.
Yeah.
But still massive.
No, I'm just kidding.
Oh, I put something on my close friend story it seemed too cheesy to actually post but like we literally were like
running at the sunset which is like really cool but also like so like wanderlust i was just chasing
sunsets but it was literally like donovan frankenreiter in the background playing in the
soundtrack we got up to the top and we're like oh my gosh the sun is setting we got to run after
this so it was really really cool we got to the end and we're all just like sitting there in
silence just like taking it in it was a really really cool moment and then the sun like is
setting and like you can't see it anymore it's just like silent and then my friend shelby and
this is what seemed like such a brad move she just goes yeah good sunset it was awesome dude that's okay i have things to say um so the first thing i was
gonna say before you told that as you were telling the story i was like that is so cool that all
those friends like recognize to just be quiet and just enjoy this thing yeah we were and so
it's all like yeah that's awesome that like nobody was like hey we should probably break
the silence by talking right now no it's just were like, Oh yeah. But then this girl started like being goofy. And then I was
like, I would have done both those things. I would have done exactly. Yeah. I would have been like,
Oh, let's just enjoy this moment. Like this is special. Like we've been talking this entire
trip. Let's just enjoy this. But then I could also be like, yeah, just doing something like
get up and screaming, you know, just like this.
That's really funny.
It was awesome.
Yeah.
I mean, we treat it like the ball just dropped.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Right.
We did it.
It's over.
Let's go home.
Get your fold up chair.
Let's get out of here.
Oh, it was so funny.
I could see Brad doing something like that.
That was so good.
Hey, let's go to a national park together sometime and I'll do it.
Yeah.
It was people love like even people not in our group, like also started clapping, got it.
Like they realized what was happening.
That's awesome, dude.
Oh, it was good.
I love it.
I love it.
So shout out Shelby.
Okay.
Love it.
Thanks Shelby.
All right.
Voicemail time.
Okay.
We'll do a few of these.
We're already kind of running somewhat long or what's this?
Hey.
Hey.
Hey.
Hey.
Hey.
We're just losing you.
Shake it up.
See what happens.
Yeah.
Hi, Jake and Brad.
This is Izzy from Allentown, Pennsylvania.
I felt obligated to send in a voice memo this week because you thought that Emily and Tim from last week's voice memo were me and my brother Isaac.
Yeah, that was my fault.
We were the ones who sent a video to you of Isaac trying to describe what he thought that you guys looked like.
So we both, we heard it and felt obligated to send you a voice memo.
So he'll send you a voice memo as well.
So be on the lookout for that.
So my question for you guys is, I just transferred to a new college, Liberty University, go flames.
And I'm living off campus, which makes it a little bit more difficult to make friends.
So I was wondering if you guys had any advice,
maybe some friend pickup lines,
just how to make friends,
how to get people to like me.
And yeah, that's my question.
Keep up the great work.
You guys make me laugh every single week.
Yeah.
Bye-bye.
Okay.
Friend pickup lines.
Friend pickup lines.
I think you FaceTime, hey, you want to play ping pong? That works with me. Yeah. I love plutonic Okay. Friend pickup lines. Friend pickup lines. I think you FaceTime,
hey, you want to play ping pong? That works with me.
Plutonic ping pong. Ping pong?
Ping pong, my place. You want to go on a vacation with me every four years or every year or so
for four years? Yeah, that works
for me. We're strictly friends. It's great.
No, I think you just take classic pickup
lines and just change them a little bit. Okay.
Did it hurt when you fell from
best friend heaven?
How are you from Tennessee? Yeah best friend heaven how are you from tennessee yeah actually where are you from no are you from tennessee what part what part you're more of a nashville or memphis you know loyalist uh that's that's it yeah good
are you from tennessee like which part i'm from missouri um small town um boy writes a christian home
uh if i could rewrite the alphabet i would put uh you and i as best friends in the same dorm room
what do you think uh is it hot in here are you just my new best friend
the hot in here is just a dry heat you tell me are you from arizona tennessee that's right
um what other pickup lines?
Hey,
what's your,
what's your shirt made out of?
72% cotton.
I don't know.
Let's talk shirts.
Let's be best friends and talk shirts.
You go classic tea.
How much polyesters in there?
Oh,
better wash it on tumble dry.
Yeah.
I'm just trying to try blend shirt.
I mean,
maybe they'll sell more merch sometimes.
So,
uh,
you religious?
Cause I've been,
I've been praying for a best friend.
I think God's just answered my prayers here. What do you think of that? Huh? Hey,, I've been praying for a best friend. I think God
just answered my prayers here. What do you think of that? Huh? Hey, that's Liberty. That's a Liberty.
Liberty. Yeah. Hey, I was reading the book of numbers this morning for my quiet time. Good
for you. Do you read the Bible? Yeah. Numbers only because I'm doing like the Bible reading
plan, like yearly reading plan. I would never listen. I would probably never read numbers.
No, it's boring, but I got to do it.
I made a pledge to my pastor.
Do you have a pastor?
Do you have a pastor at your church?
Anyway, okay.
So there's your best friend, pick up lines.
I don't know.
Genuine, like legit advice?
Do you have any legit advice?
Read the room.
Be really self-aware.
Sure.
Don't be a burden on people.
Be yourself.
Yeah, I think-
I've never given anyone advice to be friends before. I don't know. I don't know. I'm just trying to think of my best friends and I don't be a burden on people be yourself yeah i've never given anyone
advice to be friends before i don't know i don't know i'm just trying to think of my best friends
and i don't think i've ever like been very intentional about any of them it's just like
it just happens you know yeah you just yeah you like sometimes i think oh i'm gonna be friends
with that person i'm gonna try to hang out with them it's never that person that i eventually
become so close with i would say just challenge yourself like in a given week,
just once per week,
whenever something comes up to you,
like you don't want to do,
do that thing.
And just like try to keep a mental note of like what ended up happening
because I did that thing.
You don't have to say yes to everything,
but just once per week,
say yes to something you normally wouldn't say yes to.
Sure.
And see what ends up happening.
That's fun.
I also feel like,
uh,
like in college,
like a lot of people are probably
feeling the exact same way you are they just might not be showing it just like you're probably not
showing yeah that's a really good point so like just be vulnerable and just understand that yeah
people are probably also feeling like they want more friends too so just go be out get out there
and last tip throw in an office quote oh that's an easy way to make friends don't office quote
when people aren't really expecting it yeah and then then immediately someone in the group is gonna get it
Yeah, someone will and then like you're in with that person you have that connection. It's like oh, yeah, it's like joke
Yes, let's be best friends. Yes. Yeah, kiss me or wait. I mean, I mean cool from the office
I think I
Mean it's parks and recs. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry easy get confused fooling around down there
That's an office quote.
And he's talking about his nurse or something.
You read that?
Not really.
Really?
He's talking about he's getting like, oh, wait.
No.
Oh, what is it?
No, someone out there is going to know it way better than I do now.
I think he's got this, is that what he's talking about? The flirty nebulous with his cousin?
Oh, yeah.
No, I feel like it's something with his doctor and when he tears himself
he's like he feels like he had this connection with everybody he's like
oh around down there it's easy to get confused yeah when he tears his apple bag sp
sure yeah okay when apple picking um so yeah thanks izzy and good luck now on to cory
hey jake and brad it's cory from pennsylvania um two pennsylvanians story when you talk about Yeah. Thanks, Izzy. And good luck. Now on to Corey. Hey, Jake and Brad. This is Corey from Pennsylvania.
Two Pennsylvanians.
Good story when you talk about the old guy and his phone going off in the library.
It reminded me of when I was in college.
My friends and I went to see the movie 12 Years a Slave.
Very heavy, sad, but very good movie.
And my roommate's phone went off playing Racks on Racks on Racks.
It didn't really fit uh the
the theme of the movie but it was hilarious nonetheless embarrassing for him my question
for you guys is about football that is hopefully starting soon um and bandwagon fans and what are
the rules to be a fan of a team do you need to live in the same state do you need does it need
to be the closest city to you?
What if your parents grew up in that state or that city?
What if your parents are just a fan?
Yeah,
we need some rules in place.
I want you guys to start writing the book because I live in Pennsylvania and there's too many Cowboys fans around here.
All right.
Thanks for the pod on your feet.
On your feet.
I think that should be like a,
Hey,
on your feet,
like just a quick,
like one, two, three of the, like kind of like Netsch, Neebly and Lawrence. Let's rock. Let's rock. Hey, on your feet. On your feet. I think that should be like a, Hey, on your feet, like just a quick, like one,
two,
three of the,
like kind of like Netschnible and Lawrence.
Let's rock.
Let's rock.
Hey,
on your feet.
On your feet.
Hey,
thanks a lot.
On your feet.
none of it.
Was that Kayla?
Corey?
Corey.
Great voice memo.
That is so funny.
12 years a slave.
Racks on racks on racks.
That's about,
that's about as good.
Like,
that's like a,
that's something you write in a script.
I mean,
that is so poetic.
Yeah.
Oh my gosh. That's funny as good. That's something you write in a script. I mean, that is so poetic. Yeah. Oh my gosh, that's funny.
Goodness.
That is so perfect.
The best part is if he just doesn't get to it very quickly.
It's really going on for a long time.
You're trying to overcompensate, just make noise.
Have you ever heard, we won't say now, but Matt Ford's story of history class in college?
Yes.
Kind of like that.
Yes.
I think you told that on the podcast. Maybe I did. Yeah. Kind of like that. Yes. Yeah.
I think you told that on the podcast.
Maybe I did.
Yeah.
I was a little looser back then.
Tell it pretty freely back then.
Right.
No,
my God,
I shouldn't tell that.
That's pretty funny.
Um,
anyway,
okay.
Bandwagon fans.
I think you can only have one true,
uh,
team per sport.
That's a big one.
You need to have one.
Yeah.
And I think if you choose them by fifth grade you can choose whoever you want is that okay
just like pre-fifth grade yeah yeah if you decide on a team like if you're 25 years old and you're
like a warriors fan all of a sudden now i don't care if you're from oakland and like like if you
didn't grow up like in the wars you can't like them now yeah you know i mean like you're you
just can't have fandom in sports. Sorry.
Like you can, you can choose to, you can choose a team.
That's, that's another rule.
Like after fifth grade, you can choose a team, but they have to be kind of bad when you choose
them.
Yeah.
Like you have to be like, you have to put in your time, you know?
And isn't it your friend?
Or is it my friend?
We know someone who just decided to choose a city.
Yes.
That's Michael Sloan.
Okay.
Cleveland, right?
He's just like, I'm going to be a fan of all Cleveland sports.
He chooses a different one every year, though.
Oh, I don't like that.
Yeah, so it's like one year it's Baltimore, one year, yeah, whatever.
I guess it's kind of fun, but still.
Yeah, but then it's kind of like, but he usually tries to choose teams that are not good, though.
Gotcha.
He's not trying to just like, oh, Kansas City's doing really well right now, so I'm going to be a Kansas City fan.
I think if you have any kind of relational, you know, connection to him,
like grandpa, parents, whatever, that helps a lot.
But you can't just be like, oh, yeah, I have.
I don't know.
It has to be like a true connection.
It has to be like something that you've done for a long time
in order for me to really validate it.
Like, whatever.
Anybody can be a fair weather fan.
It's not going to bother me that much.
But if you're like so excited when the Cowboys beat the chiefs and like shove it in my face i'm gonna be kind of
frustrated if you're like just like oh i i lived in richardson for a while and so now i'm a cowboys
fan all my cousins in oklahoma were big cowboys fans yeah it's like that's not even a good enough
reason in the first place they live in oklahoma yeah i don't know yeah so at the end you just
there needs to be some self-awareness with it too.
If you're bandwagon fan,
you need to like,
no,
like I just started rooting for like the Lakers like the last few years.
Right.
Cause they didn't have a basketball team.
Like you need to be able to like explain your way out of it.
Yeah.
And like,
I'll say like Catherine moved to Kansas city.
The Royals got good and she got really,
really into the Royals.
Yeah.
Like was a true fan of the Royals,
but was also kind of a bandwagon fan.
I think she recognized that in the nicest way possible,
you know,
but that's okay to be a fan,
like a new fan.
Just recognize that you're a new fan.
And she came from no fandom to fandom,
which is kind of nice.
It's not like she ditched the,
the Orioles.
Right.
Sorry.
She didn't really care about baseball before that.
She was like,
I've been to a Rangers game one time.
So same.
All right.
Those are the new rules.
Yep.
All right. Next. Very concise. Can are the new rules. Yep. All right.
Next.
Very concise.
Can't make it any clearer than that.
Hi, Jake and Brad.
My name is Kate, and I am sending you this all the way from Rexburg, Idaho.
I just want to inform you guys that in episode 69, you guys mentioned your business idea
for Just Drinks.
Oh, I do remember that.
Around here in Idaho and utah especially people are obsessed
with soda and so there are hundreds of shops that just sell drinks there's a lot there's probably
like each one probably has 60 different menu items of just name brand sodas and different
flavorings you can put in them and they are crazy popular so if you're ever in utah or idaho you
should definitely check them out because they are not bad anyways i just want to know um if you guys were to start conspiracy theory what would
you start and why also jake i want to know since you have synesthesia what color is my voice um
i've always wanted to know okay thanks guys bye these people are getting good at packing a lot
in 54 seconds really there's a lot in there uh
that's crazy so i mean obviously there's a little proof of concept to my idea just drinks just
drinks i would like to know like yeah the size of the operation like how big are the huts yeah yeah
yeah like what's the square footage she made it sound like there's maybe like a like a walk-up
menu i was thinking a drive-thru i was thinking drive-thru too when you imagine it do you imagine just drinks like the logo for just drinks being kind of like an italics
like kind of a light lighter font with the exclamation point at the end because i do
just drinks it's like kind of exciting and happy like hey just drinks drinks it's like smooth
yeah like the drinks are like the cursive flows smooth just drinks just drinks and maybe the
exclamation point is also like the straw from the drink.
I don't know about that, but we're talking.
It's going to like, Catherine was like talking to me about the other day.
She got so excited.
She's like, yeah, like think about it.
You really could do this.
Let's do it.
It sounds like it's working in the, in the mountain time zone.
Yeah.
With the Mormons.
The Mormons like it.
Why wouldn't we?
Only caffeine free though.
Paramormal activity.
Yeah.
There you go.
That's what we'll call it. Just drinks. activity um wow so maybe we need to what does she ask
conspiracy theories what we make i have no idea to start your own um i just like the idea of like
celebrities having lots of power i think that's very interesting because i think it's kind of
maybe true like the illuminati and all that stuff is kind of interesting.
So I would start,
um,
one about Patrick Mahomes getting all his power, um,
from some guy that he met in sixth grade when he decided,
or fifth grade when he decided his allegiance was for the chiefs.
And so,
uh,
like an uncle Raj type character.
Yeah.
So Patrick Mahomes actually was originally supposed
to get taken first through ninth in the draft but none of the like he like he was like i had
an agreement with this guy from fifth grade and so the only way i can actually play football like
i'll have to like fake an injury and say i'm gonna be done for my career if i don't get concussion
like retirement thing yeah so it's like he's like indebted to this guy because he gave him all his powers. That's the conspiracy.
There's one.
Mine's going to be that the color green doesn't actually exist.
Oh, I don't know.
Just thought of it.
Catherine.
Sorry.
Catherine was telling me we can go back to your thing because that's ridiculous.
Catherine was telling me that there's this new thing now where people are trying to say
two plus two equals five.
Have you heard about this? What does don't i don't know i don't know much more than that but they were basically like there's this like new movement where it's like hey everything is like uh
loose like like why is two plus two have to equal four like like and i'm like literally math is the
universal language you can't just say two plus two equals five.
Yeah.
Like there's rules to this.
Are you looking it up?
Yeah.
But I don't even know where to start.
That's what I'm saying.
Like, I don't know.
I don't know much about it.
She was just like, yeah, there's this new thing going around.
Two plus two equals five.
I was like, what?
It doesn't.
It equals four.
I don't understand how.
Yeah.
I don't even.
Like, that's not true. That don't even like that's not true
that's not true
that's not true
oh my gosh
yeah I want this I guess some former mathematician
did this huge thread on Twitter about it all
about a month ago
former mathematician yeah
I don't really want to read it all right now but I'm
so intrigued that's so stupid it's not worth
my time that's so stupid it is's not even worth my time. That's so stupid.
It is stupid.
Because two plus two obviously equals four.
Two plus two equals four.
I'm here to say it.
We're a two plus two equals four podcast.
Yeah.
That's where we stand.
Yeah.
We'll stand on that.
So that's not my conspiracy.
Green does not exist, though.
That's valid.
Yeah.
Like, I don't know how or why, but like some conspiracy, like, oh, they didn't used to
have the color green back in the day. Like, it's just like a new thing that our eyes have evolved into to seeing.
We don't use the word evolved, though.
Sorry.
Sorry.
Sorry, Dad.
Sorry, Uncle Raj.
Don't tell him.
Don't tell him I said that.
He'll invite you to pray for you.
What was that evolution comment?
Like, yeah, some sort of conspiracy where it's like, yeah, grass used to be.
We found this old text where grass was described as brown.
Oh.
Or something.
The beautiful brown grass.
Yeah.
And so it's like, we know that our eyes have changed how we perceive the, oh, but it's
in the rainbow.
Crap.
No, no, no.
Oh, but that was supposed to be a different
color too. That is different. Yeah. Well, and like, uh, it's a lot of like Roy B Bibb. Obviously,
uh, the original Bible was not written in English. So maybe they're just like the conspiracy of like
whoever translated it just decided, Hey, this thing's called green now. Get a load of this.
Yeah. They're, they're going to think brown is brown is green okay so green is not a color
and mahomes got his powers mahomes is indebted to uncle roger you call them uncle roger yeah
uncle roger me we go way back anyway there you go that's good okay let me click out of freaking
two plus two equals five that makes me mad that I'm about to go American Airlines on that math edition. Oh my gosh.
Hey, Jake and Brad.
This is your good friend, Andrew,
from the great state of Arkansas.
I'm just trying to get a hold of my wife, Rachel,
and wish her a very happy birthday.
So if you guys see her before I do,
or if she just has to wait until this podcast comes out,
which hopefully we'll time this right,
and it'll be somewhere around her birthday.
But yeah, happy birthday to my wife, Rachel.
Rachel, happy birthday.
Fun fact about Rachel,
other than her being my wife,
other than her being my wife,
she's also pregnant.
Hey!
How about some advice?
You did it.
Who's the dad?
First time fathers out there in the world.
And how about a good pregnant lady story?
Those are always fun.
Thanks, guys.
Bye-bye. Okay. You can take this one, Brad. Yeah. How about a good pregnant lady story? Those are always fun. Thanks guys. Bye bye.
Okay.
You can take this one, Brad.
For yeah.
I was like, you want to, I talked a lot this episode.
I I'm, I'm very intrigued by his accent.
He's from Arkansas.
Yeah.
And he said, you guys are kind of like, you got, he didn't say it like super thick, but
he kind of said you guys, but then he said, I was like, Hey, you know, just want to see
if you guys could help me out.
I can't find Rachel. And it's like, well, it's the short. to see if you guys could help me out. I can't find Rachel.
And it's like, well, it's the short. I sound going to be slang or not. Yeah. Yeah. That's
interesting. I'm intrigued by that. Go, go back and listen to that. If you're intrigued as well.
Okay. Advice for first time dads. I'll just be serious. Cause I don't, I don't know if I have
enough capacity after that amazing conspiracy theory that I made up. Um, uh, I just think it's
not as intimidating. Don't be so intimidated. If you're intimidated, stop. It's not as expensive
as you think it is, especially at the beginning. Like babies aren't that expensive. Uh, they're
not that hard. Like they sleep all the time. So you'll be fine, dude. Like, and there's going to
be tough days or times, but people are always like, Oh, get some sleep while you can.
And Oh, make sure you enjoy your time with your wife while you can. It's like, yeah, of course
your life is going to change, but don't, don't think it's going to, it's going to get better.
It's like so much better when you have kids, it's so much fun. Uh, obviously there's hard
times within that, but overall it's so much, it's so rich and fun and beautiful and great. And
it's not that expensive. That's probably the
thing that I would really practically say like, Oh my gosh, like, I just don't know if we can
afford this. It's like, dude, they're fine. Like they just, they, they, they live off your wife.
Like, like, like you don't have to go grocery shopping. Yeah. You'll be fine. And then as far
as when she's pregnant, just like be very patient with her. Cause I remember there were times where
Catherine, especially with Bo,
she would just be in bad moods all the time.
And she's like, I'm so sorry.
I don't know why I'm in a bad mood.
And I'm like, that's okay.
You're carrying another child and having weird things go through your body.
So you're going to be great, Andrew and Rachel.
Happy birthday.
Happy birthday, Rachel.
It's going to be fun.
It's going to be so fun.
So that's all I got.
That was great.
Pregnant lady story, I i have nothing i don't know i i was very careful not to ever even like ask somebody that back of the day because i was like so mortified by the idea of that yeah how far
long are you right in the book you're in the book yeah yeah yeah you're you're a chapter book reader
yeah you've done it before though right yeah yeah how'd you get um speaking of birthdays
