One, two, three. It's raise the roof. Okay. Keep that in. All right. Jake, I got a haircut today. Oh, nice. Yeah. Both of our hairs are getting long. Yeah. Good for you for getting a haircut. I don't know. I got one. I've had one haircut since quarantine. All stuff hit. I think I talked about in the podcast because that's how interesting my life is. But I got a new one today and it was at a new place. I've never been before. Not the, not Bill. Hey Brad, how are you buddy? No, I decided there's another place that looks kind of interesting to me. Uh, that's not very far from my house on Merriam, Merriam drive. And I was like, I'm going to try out Marv's. So I went to Marv's today. You better hope Bill does not listen to

the podcast. He's going to be upset that you're cheating on him. Bill, I'm going to be honest. You, you charge too much, dude. Bill charges 25 bones whoa and i mean you you have to how much is that in dollars oh that's dollars bones is colloquialism oh it's one to one yeah one to one bones bones to bucks okay to dollars all like colon colon colon um and anyway marv's was awesome love marv yeah 75 year old man i don't think i'm ever gonna go to like a normal, uh, like barber. I want to always go to an old, old school barber, like somebody that's been doing it forever. That's just a good dude that has like, he's not in any hurry. He's just like, come on in whenever you want. Sure. You know, he's excited. He's going to be there by 8am. Even if he doesn't have to be every morning, you know, just an exciting guy. So I think it should be a prerequisite.

Like I will only go to barbers who their name is the name of the barber shop. Yeah, that's true. Yeah. That helps a lot. Mars. And it was literally, yeah, just has Marv's on there and has a barber, like one of those poles, barber pole. First guy you see you all again, Marv, Marv. There he is. What'd you guys talk about? That's what I was going to say. So Marv's 75 years old, been cutting hair for 52 years. He told me. It's plenty. 42 in this location at Marv's. And he's like, now, what do you do? And I said, well, I have my own business. I'm a woodworker.

I'm also a part of the best podcast in Kansas. No, I didn't say that, but. It's implied. I said, I'm a woodworker. He's like, you're kidding. He's like, I got a funny, funny story about woodworking. And I was like, great. This guy's 75 years old.

He talks to people basically for a living. I mean, he obviously cuts hair, but he's talking to people all the time. He's more of a podcaster than you are. Yeah. I'm like, wonderful. I would love to hear this whole, like, I'm like, this is going to be great for the podcast. He goes, I was in high school. I had to make a sanding block plane. That was my project one, one time in woodworking. And I just could never get that thing square square that was the end of the funny story marv i was like i was like that's it i was i was expecting something awesome he's like i could just i think i would try to do it one way and it it just wouldn't be square and i tried to another way that's not square and i was just like waiting like tell me more and that was go on that was the

end of the funny story i mean what if that's how we conduct ourselves? Oh, science? I got a funny story about science. Oh, wow. In high school? Got a B in physical science. I was trying to get an A. Yeah.

And I got a B. It wasn't even like a high B. It was like an 84. That's the thing. That's what makes it so funny. And I tried to do some other things in the calculations to change up to make it not a B, but it was always a B. No matter what I did, Brad, it was still going to be a B.

So anyway, I'm going back to Mars, but not because of that story. I'll tell you that right now. Um, yeah, so never, I've talked about it before in the podcast, never put an adjective before your story. When you say I have a story to tell you. Never put an adjective before your story. When you say, just always say, I have a story to tell you. Never like,

I have a hilarious story. Oh, I have the best story. No adjectives in front of your stories. Just say, I have a story. That's the lesson I want you to learn this week, guys. Ghost Runners podcast. The most superstitious podcast in Kansas. Is he blind?

About blindness. I'm not blind. Actually, my left contact's been blurry all week. That's my excuse for basketball last night, by the way. Yeah, I went one for three. You know, good contact? I probably went two for three my excuse for basketball last night, by the way. Yeah, went one for three. You know, good contact? I probably went two for three. Two for three.

Easy, Brad. Easy. No, seriously. I've been like, I've had a hard time with depth perception all week. That's too bad. Yeah, it is. And I'm like, I think I can just change out my contact. Did that?

Didn't help. Then it gets scary. Then it's like, okay, maybe my prescription's bad bad but my glasses look just fine jake oh explain that okay so it's not something in your eyeball i don't think so yeah maybe yeah it is tough though you're like oh i i feel kind of sick to my stomach i'm gonna drink a bunch of milk and now i still feel bad that's weird i don't know man usually milk helps i must be really sick when i was little you know they gave me a milk every day at kindergarten. Yeah.

Did you have that in kindergarten every day? Like you had like a time where you went and had milk. Oh, oh yeah. Yeah. That almost escaped me. But yeah, out of the little cartons where like, if you, it got a little soggy, then you get some paper on your mouth. Dude, the cartons are the worst.

And for whatever reason, ours was always like frozen, like, like partially frozen. Bottom of the freezer. You get frozen milk like yeah and like as a little kid i was such a weenie in so many ways and one of the ways was like i really hated when it was frozen like it like almost depressed me yeah i know that's like a very extreme word but like i really hated that like like semi-frozen chocolate milk like it was really gross to me there was like a i don't know if it was an art form but there was just like a an entire spectrum of what carton milk could be when we were that age like as far as like opening it like oh this is a crisp one like i have a really sharp point yes this is gonna be a good carton of milk right but there are others that are like i had to work it

like back and forth for a while throw it away yeah this is not gonna be fun to drink out of no you're done i can't describe it but you guys know you guys know what i'm talking about yeah that that first pull if it's not if it's not clean just just give up give it back to mrs harrison and say i don't want any today it was same as like pulling out a paper from your three-ring binder like i'll just rip it and then you don't get the perfect edge yeah might as well not even use that piece of paper gosh that's so real but then once you tore out the piece did you also later on tear out the um part that you like the remainder yes yes yes good for you the remainder yeah i think flappage is what

that's called on a piece of paper yeah yeah yeah yeah rf yeah i used to have we my parents we didn't have a ton of money growing up so we had flabbage catch kids good for you no yeah no i got it i liked it yeah the flabbage patch the Flavage patch, because, yeah. Brad, this weekend I wore, which totally does not defeat the purpose at all, I wore someone's mask this weekend, because we were going out. I didn't know we were going out. I didn't have my mask. Yeah. Yeah, and so I just wore someone else's, but I really liked it.

Oh, okay. Not only for the- Talk about flappage. Germs that I was maybe getting, but the fit, the snugness, it felt really nice. As soon as we get into the place, I sat right there, right then, on my phone and ordered them online. I was like, I want more of these masks.

I don't think these things are going away anytime soon. I want to have one that I'm excited about. Good for you. I've had such a stake in the ground of I am not going to pay for a fashionable, cool mask. Two more weeks and this will be over with. Yeah.

I don't need it. Okay. Two more weeks. No guys, seriously, seriously. Comfort Colors is coming back soon. I promise. No, they are. They said, they said a couple more weeks.

But I was like, I'm just going to do this. And it was 25 bucks for three mask. That's not terrible. Which is, yeah, not as crazy high as I thought it might be. Yeah. It's from a company called, I think you pronounce it Athleta? Oh, yeah. It's like a mainstream brand.

Big girl brand. Not big girls, but big brand. Big girl brand. The girls are normal size. Yeah, it's Christopher and Banks, I think. I don't know. It's an old woman brand. I don't know if it's old big girls or not.

I was like, is that the guy from Winnie the Pooh? Oh, Christopher Robin. That's really close. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You learn all that when you're a dad. Okay, I'll get there. Okay, Athleta. Athleta.

Okay, so yeah. Are they the same people as Lululemon or Gap? They're owned by some other big company. I know they're not the same people as Lululemon. They might have the same parent company, but there's no way they could be the same. Yeah, surely. Athleta. No, Nike and Adidas. Those are different. Those are the same things, right? They's no way they could be the same yeah surely athleta no nike and adidas those are those are the same things right they have shoes um okay so i order

i order a mask from them and today uh ups guy shows up and drops off two packages and i was like oh must be the mask now i ordered three masks i would assume surely these are not in two different packages that would make no sense. Open up the first package. It's my three mask. Hooray. Yippee. They came.

Second package I've brought for you here, Brad, to look at because. All right. As you heard from the story a few moments ago, I did not order anything else. I ordered three masks. I even double checked on my credit card. Did not pay for anything else. But look what we got. Some goodies.

Yeah. We got two things. If you're on on youtube you can see this first oh oh i'm having trouble oh my goodness oh 98 new with tags uh size small uh yoga pants oh what how about that you gonna you try them on not yet they fit i think they fit yeah yeah 98 for those babies yeah and then that's not all we got the nice little nice little tank racer back i think they call those yeah the racer backs the razor i don't know one of those how about that what uh retail value msrp let me guess 38 39 okay um the best part is semi-fitted skims easily over the body oh body skimmer yeah as opposed to those if you ever had anti-skimming technology oh gosh it sucks you can't get it on or off no it's it's just always on uh keyhole back to show off your bra. Thank goodness

So that's what it says on there. Yeah, baby. Is that thing? He'll keyhole back here. Let me show you no I see the keyhole back does you see kill but I just didn't know that like that was like a fashionable like I thought it Was like always like I unlocked. I'm in the keyhole. Oh, it's a turnkey operation Oh, I thought it was always like girls were trying to hide their bra oh 2008 sure not anymore brad man my wife is just modest i just love her times are changing good for her katherine won't show anyone her bra no absolutely that's what makes her special that's that's one of the things sorry katherine that we're talking about you like that she loves that i'm sure um

so it was addressed to you though yeah Yeah. Jay Triplett. Wow. Yeah. I've never had that happen before. They just sent me yoga pants. So what are we going to do? I think Facebook marketplace, unless you have a better idea. No, Halloween's coming up. Facebook marketplace is, is the right idea for profits.

I was thinking like we could have a contest for the ghosties or something, but no Facebook marketplace. Do that. If I don't sell it in a few days, we'll do something. But, uh, Oh, how are your Halloween plans looking? How are they? How are those looking? Uh, I'm going to my sister's house in Southwest Kansas. Uh, my, yeah, my niece is turning five, I think. And we don't get out there very often, but she, my sister is trying to do like kind of a tradition of like every two years or something, we go out for their two kids' birthdays. So going out for five-year-old birthday.

I think she's October 30th is her birthday. So going out there. Hattie's dressing up like Mary Poppins. Bo's going to look like Bert. Mary Poppins, chimney sweep guy. Oh, okay. And it's going to be a good time. Great time.

Good time, great time. That's fun. I was about to say I don't really like Halloween that much. When you have kids though, it becomes fun again. Like as an adult, I don't like costumes very much. I'm not looking forward to Halloween. No, I don't have a child. I liked the fall festivity of it.

Like usually we get together with my whole family and we eat chili and it's just like this warm meal together. It's like five 30. It's already dark. So that's kind of fun. No, it's not. That's you. That one night a year. It's like 5.30. It's already dark, so that's kind of fun. No, it's not. That's you tricking yourself. That one day a night, yeah.

That one night a year, it's kind of fun. And then we go trick-or-treating. But yeah, beyond that, I don't really think Halloween's all that great. I got a little get-together this Friday night,

Halloween Eve, which now I know it's been past Halloween by the time you guys are listening to this. Don't really have a costume. Don't really want to find a costume. Yeah.

I was thinking about just taking some of Greg's clothes and just dressing up as Greg and going to the party. Oh, I like that. Because Greg will be there too. Yeah, yeah. I like the simple costumes that are a little bit creative. Pretty hole punch, Greg. Similar.

That's what Catherine and I one time, I don't know at the end of the summer if you guys do a lifer party. Mm-hmm. So everybody that works the entire summer at Canada is called a lifer. At least you call them that. Okay. And so there's a party and usually it's like a, we come in pairs, like you dress up in pairs.

We did not do that. Okay. So you're supposed to like dress up with somebody else. Yeah. People do whatever cowboy and Indian, whatever, Native American and a football team. Yes. Thank you. Um, Catherine and I, like I, cause she was like, what, what did we dress up as? cowboy and Indian whatever Native American and football team yes thank you Catherine and I like I because she was like what

do we dress up as you want to do you know I don't know what she said Orville and Wilbur Wright she didn't say that but that was the only thing I could think of but I was like okay let's go let's get two different pieces of paper let's put a squared on one of them b squared on the other one and go ahead and

people are like what are you guys? We're like, I'll just look at them like they're idiots. I'll be like, we're C squared, a squared, B squared. And like,

like that's like, yeah, by my version. That's great. So if you need, if you're going with somebody else that also needs a costume, maybe, Oh,

I don't know. We can be different. Theoretically squared and B squared. Or yeah, get your own theorem. Or one person dressed up as a hippo. The other one carries around a noose. Hypotenous.

Oh, I was like, hippopotamus? Hypotenous. Hypotenous. It needs some work. I was just trying to stay within the Pythagoras' world. No, I like that though. Hypotenous. Hypotenous. Hey. Hey, pot. What if you were like, you figure out some way

to like dress up kind of like Sacagawea, but like with a math Spin and you were so Katoa Oh Yeah, yeah, that was like for a trigonometry right sine cosine. Yeah. Yeah, I think so or calculus or you just go is Stop sign you go as yeah, like the cosign er on the house. Oh, yeah. Yeah, and then you go you get spray tan Sign cosine tan You're on a house. Oh, yeah. Yeah. And then you go, you get a spray tan. Signed, cosigned tan. Okay. Yeah.

You were literally so good toa. Yeah. That's awesome. With like a Native American headdress on. And then like always like if they ever ask you, like just act like they're idiots. Again? Like, how hard is it? I'm so good toa.

I'm so good toa. That's a good idea. Or just like, no, no, no. Here's what you's what you do it's too bad this is coming out after Halloween man you literally just have a foot bath the whole time okay and you have just your big toe in there okay and someone's like what are you and you're like I'm so good toa

just so good toa yeah so good toa I don't know that's what you got yeah like I'd much rather do a costume like that than like a regular like construction worker i don't know something like that you know i'm a i'm an angel and she's a devil that's cool that's that's our relationship ah not much is different it feels like we're not even dressing up oh god i'm gonna throw up if someone tells me

that my goodness i'm so sick of that kind of stuff oh that's funny i went to a coffee shop today brad congrats two things that happened uh-huh congrats congrats on two things thank you thank you first thing i can't decide what i want to get kind of hungry it's kind of lunchtime but not that hungry i go to the barista and i'm like, all right, I'm between like the, the fruit yogurt bowl and the grilled cheese. I love when I love asking the workers, the recommendations. And I try to give them options. Not like what's good here. Cause then they're like, I mean, everything's pretty good. Okay. How's it going? It's gone. Yeah. Cool. So like fruit, what? So like a fruit yogurt bowl or grilled cheese or grilled

cheese. That sounds real cheese at like a place like that would be nice. Yeah. Yeah. And both of them, you know, not super heavy, but good, good, like light launch options. And she's given me some feedback on both. I mean, a lot of people get the yogurt bowl. I like the yogurt bowl. Honestly, though, if it were me, you can't go wrong with the grilled cheese. Okay. You got it. We've got three cheeses in there. Oh yeah. You're going to love it. I really think you should go with the grilled cheese. Okay. And I'm like, okay. And I forgot exactly what I asked her. I think I said something like, when's the last time you had it? I don't even know why I asked her that, but I was like, when's the last time you had it? Credibility. Like what's her credibility? And I'm glad I asked. She goes,

to be honest with you, I'm lactose intolerant. I haven't had either of those two things. But I have it every single day day that's how good it is i was like what how like you're just giving suggestions on things you've never had i mean the yogurt bowl sure it's a little filling but you're gonna love it digest easily grilled cheese can't go wrong with grilled cheese so i hear and then yeah just like so i'm lactose intolerant i've actually never had a grilled cheese i don't even know what that means i don't even know what that poor. I don't even know what that sentence is. Poor girl, though, because she's probably sweating bullets. Stop asking me! I'm lying to this guy.

Are the three cheeses, they blend together well? Yes, they blend together very nicely to feel like it's just one really good cheese. You ever want to try blend t-shirt from GoExchange? A lot like that. Same idea. Same idea. Four holes. That's funny. So, did you end up going with the grilled cheese? Same idea. Same idea. Same idea. The same idea. The same idea. The same idea. The same idea.

The same idea. The same idea. The same idea. The same idea. The same idea. The same idea. The same idea. The same idea.

The same idea. The same idea. The same idea. The same idea. The same idea. The same idea. The same idea. The same idea.

The same idea. The same idea. The same idea. The same idea. The same idea. The same Second thing, I was getting up to leave. Trey and I were kind of working together, and then Trey left earlier. I stuck around to get a little work done, and then I left. After that, a guy stops me before I leave.

He goes, dude, I'm sure you get this all the time, but you're the guy in Trey's videos, right? And I go, I don't get this all the time. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. Say it louder, say it louder. Let everyone here know. You're the guy, and that guy is like two million view videos every single week, right, yes. Say it louder. Say it louder. Let everyone here know. You're the guy and that guy is like 2 million view videos every single week, right? Yeah.

Yeah. That's what I literally said. I was like, I don't get that all the time. So thank you. Let's go. It was pretty cool. I was like, dude, Trey was literally just sitting here. You just missed him, but it was fun. We really bonded. He was asking me when I moved to Kansas City, I threw in, you know, oh, I used to work in youth ministry. He's like, dude, I'm a youth pastor. No way. Really bonded. Adam from Arkansas. What up, dude? Arkansas, Adam. He didn't say listen to the podcast. I don't think he does, but maybe starting someday or this is week

And then he's like starting a long time ago and it's like march of 2021 and he's finally caught up and he's like holy cow that was me i think that had to have been me i'm from arkansas my name's adam and i go to black dog coffee black dog yeah black dog uh so yeah it was awesome i i really wanted to i don't know what to do i i just love making friends so much like i was fully ready to like invite this dude to come play basketball with us yeah it's like asking we played pickleball but i was like is that too much i don't know what the standard is i don't know with with men i feel more comfortable like knowing what to invite a woman to oh it's not like the opposite i feel like well yeah you like a man and a woman it's a little bit more awkward but like two women i feel like it's like a little bit weird

i don't know like i i think there's like it's so much easier for guys just be like hey let's go hang out later like especially with sports yeah we can do stuff you don't know. Like, I think there's like, it's so much easier for guys to just be like, Hey, let's go hang out later. Like, especially when it's sports. Yeah. We can do stuff. You don't have to talk very much in sports. It's great.

Yeah. Like I didn't talk to you at all last night in our basketball game. Uh, but yeah, that, that, yeah. Maybe next time you see him next time,

You like grilled cheese sandwiches or what um no but yeah good coffee shop today good experiences good dude it's awesome i went to a coffee shop yesterday with harrison and dude i loved watching brad put up a video on our patreon go check it out ten dollars tomorrow you go to dot com slash patreon of that's not it harrison looking or like just looking more into the the mouse and chipotle from last week yeah it's hilarious so harrison's a solid ghosty because it was monday morning that he like really called me to ask me if i wanted to go hang out at mclean's and i'm like yeah sure

he's like uh or he's like you want to hang out with maybe get lunch or something he's like probably not chipotle obviously after today right wow and i was like oh wow like you're you're into this um and but anyway we were talking about it i was was like, dude, I gotta be honest. The more I watched or look at that photo, I'm just not quite sure. Like that. I truly, truly believe until I hear the account of the person, uh, that I, I don't truly believe in this TBD. Um, and then he like started like, yeah, litigating, like all these different like things like, yeah, this, this, I don't know about that. And I was like, dude, I got to start recording this. And it's so funny. It was really funny. I really appreciated it. So yeah, he, uh, that was funny. And then randomly we found out that

we both had, uh, connections to, uh, Baylor Kappa. My wife was a Baylor Kappa. Okay. And then, uh, one of his high school friends. And so he's like, dude, have you heard the Kappa rap? And I'm like, yeah, Catherine, Catherine's pledge class was the Kappa rap. Have you heard about this? No, it's like, well, like it, it like really did. I don't know if it like went viral, viral, but it like went viral in the right circles kind of thing to the point where Harrison heard about it when he was in the Naval Academy in Maryland. Okay. So it spread and they like, they like bumped it all the time. Like it was like this music video that was supposed to be like helping recruitment or whatever for Baylor kappa but it just like went viral within

kappa and he's like dude yes i know the girl one of the girls that rapped in it you know whatever and i was like katherine's in that video no way and so he's like played the video for us he like bumped it at mclean's and like knew every word and was like rapping along with it it was like three o'clock in the coffee shop so it wasn't super bumping or anything, but still he was like, you know, getting into it. I remember when I was in your shoes, you know, he's like rapping the whole thing. Why does he know the lyrics to the Kappa rap? Because he and his friends

and the Naval Academy loved the song. It's a pretty catchy tune. And like, yeah, they would just rap it all the time and like listen to it. I see Kappa rap too. Kappa rap too is the big one. Yeah, 1.3 million views. Oh really?

That big? Yeah. Yeah, it's up there yeah so like i'm sure if you're a kappa out there you've definitely heard it otherwise i don't know should we play it or no i mean yeah as long as we're not gonna lose uh royalties there's no way there's no way i'm sure people are curious i'm curious let's. Let's go. Let's go. Oh, gosh. Oh, the auto-tune is so bad. No. Like, Harrison knows all this. They would bump this in the Navy? Yeah, dude.

Sororities are so funny, man. The top comment, I guess, is making fun of one of the lines. It says, blue is our color. Blue is also our other color. That is one of the lines, yeah. That's like the Kappa thing. It is like they're blue on blue or whatever. So. That's funny.

The top comments from Hoodie Allen. Do you know who that is? Like the Hoodie Allen? Yeah. Like a big time rapper. The top comments from him. He just, he was going to comment to Blue is our color. That's funny.

We come to you from the mountain of entertainment to tell you Must be legal drinking age. will know we're here and hits like dexter you're decent and good i'm not paramount plus your eyeballs equals entertainment stream paramount plus from 699 a month uh jake this is a random question have you had a song stuck in your head at all this week uh yeah i have like a different

song almost every week like i bet the kappa rap might be that song for me i was gonna say it's a little stuck right now i can't remember any thinking of any of those songs, but yeah, sure. Uh, for whatever reason, the song that's stuck in my head, I don't even really know how it goes, but have you heard that song, uh, saying low key F 2020? No. You heard this? It's like a, it's like a top 40 song. Okay.

I was the top 40 like once, once a month probably. And yeah, there's like a song and it's like low key f 2020 that's all the part i know of it and it's about it's like literally about 50s like a new 20 f 150 2020 yeah they're not very good where's the key the carbon fiber yeah low low key yeah it's low key down there huh but for whatever reason i that's in my head and then i thought of the joke i think the avengers like bad guy's name is low key. Yeah. And then, uh, Hugh Hefner is Hef.

And so I was thinking like, maybe we can make a parody about like telling them that they should run for president together. Like low key half 2020. That's like, that's what has been going through my head in the shower lately. So wow. So our thoughts, I didn't, I don't know that. Like, I feel like, yeah yeah every week I have a different song a lot of times it's the jingle song

because then I'll listen to it again whenever the podcast comes out and then it's just in my head but lately low key half 2020

I don't know there's so someone I know has done a low key pun like that before you know who Cody Coe is I think we've talked about him yeah

him and his partner that he does his podcast with they make music from time to time okay his partner noel came up with like a uh a rap song where he talks about it's not super appropriate okay okay he's talking about how this girl is calling him thor because she wants his hammer low key. Oh, okay. And it's like, Oh,

pun pun. Yeah, dude, we're right there. Hon, we're right. We're right there with them. Yeah.

So it's the same thing. Okay. Yeah. Same thing. Low key half 2020. No clue. It's all you're talking about, but it sounds good. Yeah.

I were the most political podcast in Kansas. So low key half 2020. We're here to say low key half 2020. That's right. Yeah. Um, something I just thought of. I should have brought this up when we were talking about basketball earlier. Maybe I misheard.

Maybe I didn't quite see something that happened. But before the game, the scorekeeper comes up to me and is having me run through everyone's name and number. Because some of us don't have numbers on the back of our shirts. None of us do. And I'm asking Gunnar's like, oh, I'm going to be zero. Yeah. Yeah.

I was like, I'll be number three. Brad's like, I'm six. I'm six. I'm six. And I go, oh, I'm going to be zero. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I was like, I'll be number three. Brad's like, I'm six. I'm six. I'm six. And I go, oh, LeBron and Heat. Yeah. Like I confirmed it for her. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Like in case she didn't know. Yeah. Because I'm sure she's a huge, huge NBA fan. Yeah, yeah, yeah. She definitely got those vibes. Oh, yeah. Keep going. I know exactly what you're doing.

Well, second half of the game, I don't know when this started happening, but. First foul of the game is when it started happening. Oh, was it? Okay. So I didn't notice it until the end. But all of a sudden, I realized, like, okay, she's now, the ref is calling Gunner zero and is calling Brad double zero. And I realized it after Brad said something.

And it was pretty funny. On the court, I'm like, hey, why has he got to be double zero? What's that supposed to mean? You know, you never have a skinny guy. Like, the point guard's never double zero. Yeah, it's Greg Ostertag. Right got to be double zero? What's that supposed to mean? You know, you never have a skinny guy. Like the point guards never double zero. Yeah. It's Greg Oster tag. Right.

That's what I was like. I'm Greg Oster tag over here. Like what's going on? Big country Reeves, you know, whatever. I was trying to do D VOTS over here. I couldn't get a laugh from the ref. None of the other team thought it was funny. I was like, guys, we have a podcast.

Are you not seeing this? You would love this. I really, you guys must really not like our podcast then i mean yeah there was like he didn't even hesitate or like he's usually they found the hey what's your number because it did that to me yeah towards the end of the game he just assumed big man double zero hey we got a foul double zero double zero on uh reshack i'm, what's that supposed to mean? Maybe it's just like there's certain numbers. What if that's a stereotype of the refs?

Like, hey, I'm going to go ahead and call the shortest guy on the team number 18, the biggest guy on the team number double zero, the tallest guy on the team number 11 because long and slender. Yeah, right. Whatever. There's just all these codes. That would be kind of a cool connection, but it would be kind of hurtful if you understood the connection.

Fun fact about basketball. Do you know that no one can have a number above five? Like 18 can't exist. In the NBA, anything goes. Like, you know, Luca's like 70 or whatever. Wait, wait, what do you mean above five? Because the refs want to tell the scorekeeper who fouled with one hand.

So it has to be like across the arm on one five. So it has to be like, Oh, I see. On one five. So you'd be like 33, which is above five. Can't have a digit above five digit above five. Oh, digit above five. Oh,

interesting. So yeah, like no, no 36 is even, this is a little bit off topic, but I would love to see, um, a documentary,

like a 30 for 30 about refs. Okay. I think it's very interesting because if you are a ref, you have to be very passionate about sports. And so that means that you grew up really loving probably a certain sports team and you're a professional referee. And even if I'm reffing like a professional NFL referee for the Packers Broncos game, I have like some feelings towards those two teams, even though I'm a chiefs fan, you know what I mean? Like, like the Broncos really killed us a lot growing up. I'm going to, I'm going to call a few plays for the Packers here.

You know, like what type of person can be a professional referee? Yeah. I want to know the personality type that it takes to, yeah. Like sports aficionado, but not very like opinionated. Maybe does it, you know, have very strong convictions, right? Like if that guy, if it's his off season or if he's, if he could, if he's doing a game on Monday night,

is he watching a game on Sunday and rooting for a certain team you know yeah how does he draw that line I want to know right hand left hand stencil what are we talking yeah one hand though not not multiple he uses his other hand for something else uh speaking of documentaries they need to make a documentary about Borat 2 I'm assuming you haven't seen it no I haven't seen it that makes sense yeah um holy cow uh I don't know how many people out there have't seen it no i haven't seen it that makes sense yeah um holy cow uh i don't know how many people out there have probably seen it by now but what a flick yeah it has um it's just some insane stuff have you seen this stuff that went viral on twitter with rudy giuliani no oh so i mean first of all like he gets borat? Yeah, like he does a scene with him. How does Rudy Giuliani not know about Borat?

Or somebody in Rudy Giuliani's camp? Rudy Giuliani's. Yeah. You're asking yourself that pretty much the whole movie. Like, how is this happening? How is someone not catching on to this? Yeah. I mean, there's a scene where he just straight up...

Borat's not even like in disguise. He looks like Borat. He's somewhere in America. He goes to a cake shop and she's like what could you want on your cake and he just goes can you put jews will never replace us she goes sure really i'm like how is this that's that's good no questions asked oh yeah if you pay 30 bucks i'll put whatever you want on there wow but uh oh it's very fascinating just like how they made it all there he spends like five days with like, you know, there's like QAnon people who like think that

the Clintons drink children's blood. He spends like five days with them during like the quarantine. It's just like, what do these guys think of like this camera crew? What do they think of Borat? It's fascinating. So is it all in America? Yes. Is that always how it, I haven't seen the other movie either.

The first one. Gotcha. Yeah. It's also in America. And, um, yeah, it's crazy. He like straight up interrupts like, uh, um, a Mike Pence, like big speech, like the CPAC speech back in February. It's got, it's like, Oh, I heard about that.

It's a very like about that. Really? Yeah. I mean, you can search it now. It's, you know, you can, you can find articles from February of 2020 of like made a Donald Trump mask interrupts Mike Pence's speech about the coronavirus. Right. They didn't realize who it was.

Yeah. They had no idea. I didn't hear about that one. Yeah. Wow. It's a pretty politically driven movie, but it's very, very funny and very crude. Just FYI. Very crude.

Yeah. Just know that going into it. Yeah. You should probably know that already going into the Borat stuff. It's the Borat 1 and Borat 2, the two crudest movies I've ever seen. So I was a big fan of the show, but I never watched the movies. Yeah, and I never saw the show. I don't know how similar they are.

I think they're, yeah, I mean the show's obviously motivated the movies or inspired the movies, so they're probably similar. It's also kind of interesting. There's parts of it like me, Ty, and Kyle watched it on Friday night and then spent like an hour Saturday morning talking about it. Just because like, so two like you know most people label like crazy people that he stays with like believe these crazy lies yeah um and crazy conspiracy theories you

know borat's in his character talking about how women have strings for brain when i said something confusing i hear one snap in her brain and then you know they know, they're like, no, no, no, that's, I mean, women have brains. They, uh, you know, they, they're just as capable of doing stuff. We are, you know, and they're like, what, what? And Borat's trying to say, to say something else. And they're like, no, no, no, that's a conspiracy theory. Like, don't believe that. Like, that's crazy. Oh, but then other things they do believe. Yeah. So it's just, it's interesting. You know, it's just like, maybe they're not so crazy. They've just been like fed these lies. There's a lot you can like take from it if you want,

if you want. I think that's totally true about a lot of people that just believe wrong things. Yeah. It's just like, you don't know any better. I think Sasha Baron Cohen is just like very smart and very good at what he does. Oh yeah. It's pretty cool.

So talk about a documentary. Yeah. Is that what that's, I guess that's kind of how this started, but like, I want to see how they made it. Sasha Baron Cohen. I want to know.

I want to see a documentary on him. For sure. Just him. Like how, like what's he really like? Yeah. Because you don't really know. He's always in character.

Yeah. So. That's a good point. So how was your time with Ty and Kyle? Dude, it was. Kind of, Ty and Kyle. I mess,

I screwed up all the time. Do you? Yeah. Ty and Kyle. Yeah. Ty and Kyle. It was so good. It was,

it was awesome. It was cool that they came here. I didn't have to go far. Were they coming for you? Yeah. Cause I was going to go to them. And they're like, do you mind if we come to Kansas City? I was like, no, I've been out of town like four weekends in a row.

This would be awesome. Nice. So no pickleball for me this weekend. But got to hang out with two of my best friends. So yeah, it was so good. And we put up a bonus episode on the Patreon of us three talking together, which is great. So many stories got left out. Unfortunately, I don't know how good of a job we did.

I think you need to do a second one probably seriously like there's an entire like a regular thing have ever told you about the time we were doing karaoke in seattle we'd been there for like two hours and everything was like we had been performing a couple times here and there the whole time who knows how long so ty ty goes on for his third time and he performs you raise me up by josh groban nice and he goes You Raise Me Up by Josh Groban. Nice. And it was hard. That's a deep cut.

I mean, like a hard one. Like it's not like a quick, easy one. Yeah, it's a long song. It really you think the song's over, then it really builds at the end. Yeah. So when it builds, we're in like a very popular bar and people are into it. Like Ty's killing the performance. People are very into the song.

That's probably not easy to get people into. Yeah. At the final crescendo of the song, out of his waistband, he pulls out a can of Cheez Whiz. Kyle and I are just like, where has that been? How long has he had that? And, you know, you raise me. You want me to eat this Cheez Whiz? Pours it in his own mouth.

We're just like, what are we watching? And then people rush the stage. I think he may have said like, who else wants cheese whiz? And like, I'm not kidding. Not exaggerating. At least like three girls go to the stage and it's like, he's pouring shots,

but he's just like cheese whizzing three girls in a row. And like, that was one of the craziest things I've ever seen. And totally forgot to mention that. That's when you know, like, yeah, you had a lot of experiences with somebody.

Then you forget a story like that. Like that's insane. There's so many stories like that. I was like, why did we not talk about that? Like, that is so funny. It's so weird. That's amazing, dude. Like, I feel like I, if I went on that trip with you, I would probably get burnt out of being like on whatever, you know, on whatever, like on whatever, you know, on, yeah. Being on, not being, being on something, you know, like, uh, after like 10 days or something like that, like, I'd be really excited for a few days to be like, let's make some funny stuff. Yes. Yes. And then it's like, nevermind. You're not nevermind,

but just like, I don't, I don't really, I'll just do regular karaoke real quick. Not cheese with karaoke. Yeah. That was like, that's nuts. 65 days into the trip. He's pulling out cheese with, that's amazing. cheese whiz. That's amazing. It was awesome. It was really good. If you guys want to listen, we recorded for like an hour just talking about old stories. I just posted a clip of when we talked about the time that a hospital raised money for us, which is interesting, and plenty of other fun stuff.

Oh, go ahead. It was good. We don't have to talk about every single aspect of that episode because that's that episode but i really liked you guys talked about the uh not excelsior springs what's it called hot springs oh yeah yeah so it is i loved i remember springs your eureka springs eureka springs i loved that uh video when you guys posted that like finding the first time it was so funny yeah i loved that that was so that was the day i met kyle it was like let's try this out yeah that's a great story oh he was so funny. Yeah. I loved that. That was so good. That was the day I met Kyle. It was like, let's try this out. Yeah.

That's a great story. Oh, he's so funny. And you documented it well. I remember just thinking like, this is awesome. So I mean, it's,

it's truly like, it's, it seems like there's a script to it. Like the highs and lows that you're like, you were going to find Greg. No, he just left town. Oh,

and then it gets good at the end. So check out the Patreon, listen to the episode. It's really good. Thanks. How was your weekend with whoever you were with weekend was good it was spent working on that darn deck still man darn deck the darn deck uh just any ever anytime now that katherine ever says like i want to change something in our house i'm like let's find a new house then i don't i

don't want i don't want any of it Like, like it's like I said last week, like every time it's like, Oh, this will be easy. This won't be that hard. That won't be that expensive. Never true. Like next time she's like, Hey, I wish we had a deck. I'm going to be like that house down the street has a deck. Maybe you go sleep with them. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Sorry. Don't show me bra. I mean, uh, all you're on something uh no it's so yeah anyway that's that's what i did most like all day saturday i worked on that darn deck shout out to my family my parents and my aunt they watched hattie for a long time this past week while i did a lot of stuff working on the darn deck yeah and then all day sunday was pretty much spent in the car picking up katherine but

that did not stop me from watching NFL Red Zone. Let's go. It was a good Sunday for football. It was awesome. There was one time it was it was the most electric like five minutes of NFL Red Zone I've ever experienced. The Browns-Bangles game, Falcons-Lions and Steelers-Titans were all coming down to the wire like the exact same time. Three noon games all like. Yeah.

And they called the triple box. And so they have three different and the guy like the announcer is like we're going to a triple box. Pewter? He's so excited about it. Put on the try box. Every once in a while they go he's like we have a rare quad box situation.

Like he's like so into it. We're going to triple box. It used to be a storm chaser and just can't turn off that like really like excitable part of his talking. That guy truly is amazing, though, because he'll announce all three games at once, and he knows every single player and every single screen. The Browns got a touchdown to somebody, Peoples Jones is his last name.

And he's like, was that Peoples Jones in the end zone? I've never heard of Peoples Jones before. No, I don't think that's a person. Right. It's like a small... It's like Ronald people's Jones or something like that. It's like a Facebook group. Hey, come on. Join people's Jones. We need you. We need you in the, uh, the group PJ. I'm the admin. Yeah. There, there's a guy's a moderator. It's the top fan over here. Uh, we love people's Jones. So anyway, uh, it was electric, like literally I was having

so much fun. I was on the interstate and there was no one around me. I promise. Don't judge me too much for the fact that I was kind of watching TV while driving. But I literally was laughing out loud to myself, like in excitement because of how great these like two minutes of football were. That's awesome.

Cause it was like, yeah, this guy missed a field goal. Like Todd Gurley accidentally went in the end zone at one point. That was crazy. And so then the lions came back and they had that crazy stuff. And yeah, the Titans missed the field goal and whatever. The Bengals scored and then the Browns scored right at the end.

Yeah. Yeah. Anyway, it was awesome. Good couple minutes of football. Electric. Electric. Electric try box. But anyway.

The triple box. One thing I did when Ty and Kyle were still here, I took them to Oklahoma Joe's. Of course. Got to take them there. Yeah. We have um you don't really have waiters necessarily at oklahoma joes but you have people who like come around and check on you could take your trash whatever mostly just that right yeah yeah so a guy comes up to us i don't know how funny this will be now but the time is pretty great and he asked if i think he kind of gets in my contact with me, and he's like, what does he say initially?

Like, can I get you anything? Or like, how are you? Oh, I think he says, like, how are you doing? Like, how is your meal going? Like, hey, how are you doing? And I'm like, good, man, how are you? He's like, oh, I was just like asking, like, if I could get anything for you.

And I was like, yeah, I know, man. I just wonder how you're doing. I'm just being a nice guy, yeah. Yeah, so. Sure. So he's like, oh, okay, cool. He starts to walk away. Then he comes back, and he was like yeah i know man i just wonder how you're doing a nice guy yeah yeah so sure so he's like oh okay cool he starts to walk away then he comes back and he's like i mean it's just it's just something i do around here i i go from table to table and i will ask people understand i will ask people how they're doing like if i can get anything for him or if i could do something

he's just describing to me what just anyone in a restaurant does. Right, right. They will, it's the craziest thing, they will pay me every two weeks for doing this. I mean, it's like clockwork. It's weird. Like every two weeks they'll pay me. They say I get like $15 an hour though. It's really only like $11.95 after taxes.

Get this. There's this tax thing going on. FICA. Have you heard of it? You know about that? Scam, dude. It's different than FAFSA. Found out.

Whoa. Whoa. Different. Let me tell you, FAFSA was good for me. This is not. Don't like FICA. Yeah. Yeah.

Just explaining me like what, uh, like a bus boy does. Just like, see something I kind of been doing. So you see that trash can over there? I will take your food and put it in there. But the plastic plate, like those go reuse. We'll, we'll throw those in the back and we'll put them through this thing called dishwasher. It's a big one though. It's not, it's not one that you see at your house. It's really quick. Yeah. It's a, we don't actually have that many trays. We, we wash these and we'll clean them. And odds are you've maybe had the same tray twice so are you doing well or not you know

that's funny oh man yeah we roasted him for another five minutes once he left the area just that's so funny something about me uh i like to go around and ask how people are like yeah yeah no we got it even if i had never been to a restaurant before i think i still could have figured it out what an interaction yeah it was awesome nice guy nice guy oh um i had a great week of podcasters who are also fans of woodworking four different podcasters ordered tables from ls custom creations whoa not a table sorry well uh orders though from ls because still i got knack backs knack backs uh shout out tiffany baxter it's her birthday on ha Tiff Bax, oh Isaac's birthday Isaac Bax, birthday Bax

Do you remember they like, they had a voice memo one time, but I'm going to deliver it to them when we go to Sherman, Texas for Thanksgiving. Perfect. Yes. Celebrate that holiday too. Right. Like speaking to big weeks. I've been keeping track. You know, we had six Mondays in a row. I said, I doubt if we get a seventh we did not get a seventh dang it but dang it

okay biggest thursday it was our biggest thursday ever and our biggest wednesday for a single episode i'm gonna start just getting real crazy Remember when like the Royals were bad for 30 years? Yeah. You go to a game and they're like, Raul Abanez is batting 345 against left-handers after dusk. Yeah. It's like, okay. Not bad. That's pretty good. You have to dig pretty deep. He's a night gamer. To find like these crazy stats. That's what I'm going to become for the podcast. I love it. It's like episodes starting with A through G. It's our most popular one. Big ones.

Yeah. Yeah. It's a big one for us. But yeah. How can it, how do you know that about Thursday? Are you really, is that serious? That is serious. Yeah.

Both the things I said are serious. But it's Tuesday. Last Thursday. Oh, last Thursday. It was our biggest Thursday ever. Okay. And then last Wednesday was our biggest Wednesday that a single episode ever got. Oh, okay.

So that's still the last episode, not the Chipotle mouse episode. Correct. Okay. So maybe. Who knows? Maybe this Thursday is going to blow. It could be a big Friday. I don't know.

Blow the Bachelorette out. Interesting. Oh, did you say Bachelor? I did. Because I have something to say about that real quick. Trey and I are currently writing a Bachelor spoof video just because, you know, it's the season. They're making Bachelorettes right now and we've never made a Bachelor style video.

So we're writing it and I think I made the comment of like, I wonder how much it would cost to get Chris Harrison to Kansas City. And we're kind of laughing and then Trey was like, well, we could pay for like a cameo from him. You're familiar with that, right? You guys don't know cameo is a website we could pay for like personalized videos from people for a certain kind of laughing. And then Trey was like, well, we could pay for like a cameo from him. You're familiar with that, right? If you guys don't know, cameo is a website we can pay for like personalized videos from people for a certain amount of money. So Chris Harrison's is $425. We're like, might be worth it though.

Yeah. Depending on what he says. And so we're like, what can we get him to say? Because like, we want to kind of like use it against him in a way. We want to be able to like manipulate it somehow. So we wrote out this script. I should pull it up, but whatever. I think I can remember to kind of like use it against them in a way we want to be able to like manipulate it somehow so we wrote out this script i should pull it up but whatever i think i can remember it kind of we wrote the script so trey is going to be playing the role of a guy named taylor in the video we told chris harrison hey our friend hey this is claire my friend taylor just got broken up with she's devastated devastated. She's a huge Bachelor fan.

She's back with her family now in Georgia. Thought you could say a few uplifting words to her. And here's like a little, maybe something you could say. So we write a little script. And so it's like, hey, Taylor. So I'm sorry you're going through a tough time.

Over the years, I've seen a lot of love. Sometimes it doesn't work out. I think you need to you know ditch that zero and find the hero for you um i hear that you're back home with your family in georgia and guess what there's nothing like a georgia peach um we also wrote in the script if you she's a huge bulldogs fan if you bark she would die so we put that in there and i can't remember the rest so the plan is that you know he'll be like let's let's facetime in chris it's like hey chris hey taylor take that cut it right there okay and then chris i'm having the hardest time like these girls are just like so just like beautiful you know whatever he's like

i hear you're going through a tough time like yeah that's right i am all these girls are just like, so just like beautiful, you know, whatever. He's like, I hear you're going through a tough time. Like, yeah, that's right. I am. All these girls look so good. And then, uh, I forget. He's like, Oh, especially like Mary Margaret, dude. Like when she leaves the room, she looks even better. You know what I'm saying?

Yeah. And then he's going to go nothing like a Georgia peach. And then we go, Chris, you dog. Oh, and then he barks. Yeah. We were dying laughing at like this coffee shop we're writing like this is gonna be so good and then we're saying something else like chris shoot me straight you ever uh you ever peek inside the fantasy suites when stuff's going on over the

years i've seen a lot of love like chris gross dude gross chris and then i think the only last thing we had was like okay okay, just be honest. What are the odds I actually end up with any of these women? And then we'll take this thing of just zero when he says ditch that zero for a year. So we'll see. I love it. We'll see what he ends up giving us.

We're going to kind of be at the mercy of what he says. Yeah. I wonder if you could, well, it's too late. You already submitted it. Okay. So I was going to say, maybe you could have put zero in there multiple times, hoping that at least he said one of the zeros get one clean zero yeah yeah um yeah that's awesome dude yeah i've never really done anything like that but i was like this is

so fun and feel so dirty yeah right like he could easily get very frustrated if he sees that video or like maybe like say something even like try to take it down or something which would be awesome yeah like talk about headlines if we get poultry with chris harrison yeah trey has like a cameo connection or like he knows a woman who works there okay and so he texts her he's like just to make sure like once we pay for a video like we own it right and that's she like didn't really understand the question she's like yeah i mean you can do whatever you want with it he's like but like it's it's mine like i no one can say anything and so i think legally we're in the clear huh that's so interesting like 425 obviously not cheap but for like a pretty big like celebrity i mean you know whatever i

don't know what you consider him because he's he doesn't really do anything besides just host a really really popular show yeah but that still doesn't seem like that much money to get somebody to basically say whatever you want like that that. You know what I mean? Like to be someone's puppet for 60 seconds. Yeah. Like I should charge $400. I would feel a little uncomfortable. Like, I think you've done a few, haven't you?

But like, you're like, this is not really worth it because I'm not getting paid very much. And people are wanting me to say some weird things. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I was on cameo for like two weeks and I was like, I don't want, I don't like this. Yeah. I'm not big enough.

Yeah. Like maybe you have only a zero, not zero i gotta get bigger anyway do they have like an option to like say no to like anything yeah i think you can decline them okay if you're uncomfortable with them or whatever yeah wow uh so yeah stay tuned it'll probably be a couple weeks for videos out but a little inside scoop yeah it's kind of fun honestly i don't know i haven't seen the video that you're actually going to make yet but honestly the i like the the knowledge of knowing that you did that cameo thing might be even funnier than the actual video you're going to make that's kind of why i wanted to share like maybe you do like a back like back you know behind the scenes kind of thing of how we made this video and how we got chris harrison in on this yeah you

know what i mean yeah because like yeah yeah, it's funny that Trey is going to be talking to Chris Harrison, but they're going to be like, oh, cool. They figured out how to get Chris Harrison here. He's like friends with Chris,

but it's like, no, no, we had to like really like. They FaceTimed him and he did this thing for us. Yeah. Anyway, that's,

people are going to love that if they're listening to this podcast. Yeah. Once you see behind the curtain. That's great, man. It'd be a little better. I love it. Love it.

Should we get to some voice memos? please okay please yo yo j and b it's uh clintonius here here we go checking in and i'm with the uh with the i'm down boy say hi guys hey what's up nick and simeon and ben and say hi lockland this is lockland Lachlan loves being here always so Jake you are coming to Traverse City location found my basement is totally available finished basement

all my siblings are at college you can stay there we'd love to have you on a lake guys what are we going to do we're going to go hiking oh yeah with some snowshoes Um, we guys, what are we going to do? We're going to go hiking. Oh yeah. Um, with some snowshoes. Uh, we're going to maybe go flying. I have massive fire. Oh yeah. Big furniture fire.

So cornhole on the ice. It'll be the Midwest experience. I thought he was going to say like fly fishing. And then I think he just means flying. Flying. He says he's getting his pilot's license. Clint. This guy. Cool.

He's got a basement. And he lights his furniture on fire. Yeah. I play. Sounds awesome. Yeah. Whenever they first call, I think they mentioned something about about lighting things on fire.

But the more I learn about Traverse City, the more I'm like, this is like a tourist attraction place. There's not many places, surely, to just light stuff on fire there. I thought they were from the country or something, but I don't think they are. That's why the tourists go. They want to see what's on fire. That's a full-on lazy boy. That's awesome. Do you feel like there's one one school uh like one college that's

known for lighting couches on fire to me like for whatever reason west virginia like the university of west virginia i just think of like they light couches on fire all the time huh i didn't know if that was like a common stereotype i don't know let me know five star review if you've heard of that light them up i know that jake paul lit like a couch and a bunch of stuff on fire in like his backyard pool in Calabasas, West Virginia. Calabasas, yeah. Yeah, yeah. And got in a bunch of big trouble.

So I don't know. Why did he get in trouble? I think because, it might have been because like the fire was like higher than his house. Really? It was like 25 feet in the air. He like reached some trees and. Yeah, I don't think it caused the forest fire, but it was just like a massive fire in like a residential It's like 25 feet in the air. Like reach some trees and yeah, I don't think it caused forest fire,

but it's just like a massive fire in like a residential neighborhood. Okay. A few years back, but, uh, Clinton, Tony is. Oh,

okay. Maybe snowshoes sound cool. Snowshoes hiking. They're in college. Like I love the way he says college. They're in college. Um, I think he was like,

we got a basement. It's finished basement. People. Another thing about people in the South, they, was like we got a basement it's finished basement people another thing about people in the south they they like to say drive safe they also at least my brother-in-laws think basements are like the coolest thing in the world because they don't have them in texas very don't and like like even when we lived in houses that had unfinished basements they would go down there and be like oh look at this you can do so many things down here you have a TV down here. TV.

You have a speed bag over there. I'm thinking air hockey here. Maybe shuffleboard? If there's room. I don't know. Let's get crazy on it. If there's room. They just think basements are amazing.

So anyway. I love basements. I do too. They're fun. I mean, maybe December. Okay. Maybe I'll go to Traverse City. Why not? I don't know. Yeah, it love basements. I do too. They're fun. I mean, maybe December. Okay. Maybe I'll go to Traverse City. Why not?

I don't know. Yeah, it's an option. It's honest. Honest to goodness, Clint. It's an option. I love it. Okay. Not saying no.

Love it. Love it up. Yeah. Okay. Next one from, let's go. Let's go, Zach. Sure. Hey guys, Zach Johnston here from down in Pittsburgh.

First time caller. Down in Pittsburgh. First time listener. Maybe. Pittsburgh, Kansas. I have a couple questions. here from down in pittsburgh first time caller down in time listening that's um maybe pittsburgh kansas i have a couple questions first of all i am a kind of like an aspiring comedian i sent you guys a sketch actually about kind of it was a similar sketch the bit you did a few weeks ago about hurricanes you guys watched it and responded to that or at least one of you guys did i really appreciate your time on that i think that was me i have a couple questions that's good one is do you have any funny relationship or you know trying to impress girl story from you know when you were kind of in your earlier days like high school

um and second i have you know i i do sketches and i'm kind of in the early stages of a podcast. I was wondering if you have any advice to me on that and kind of building a community through those. Thanks. Would you consider the early stage of a podcast, just like learning how to talk to people like in real life? Like what's an early stage? Like for me, just three to five, kind of getting the language. Yeah. Right. Like learning how to form sentences. Um, you know, I learned the preterite tense recently and so really getting in there. That was when I kind of started my journey podcasting and just recently started recording them.

Just kidding, man. Those are both really good questions. Did we do anything to impress the lady folk? Go out of our way to, you know, do like a like what birds and reptiles do. Oh, like not literally, but, you know, like they'll like do dances to mate. Oh, I've done, I've danced for girls all, like I used to have a job dancing for girls. What was it called?

I can't, I'd rather not say. Watch Borat. Razorback. Yeah. I don't know. I will say the reason I learned how to play guitar originally, have I told you this? No.

To learn to, because I had a crush on a girl and she said she had a crush on Sam Dwyer. One of my good friends. He was the catcher. You know Sam Dwyer. He was a great catcher. He was the catcher to my pitcher. And he was,

he was a stud. He was a pitcher. No, no, no, no, no, no,

no, no, no, no, no, no, no, not to Daniel.

But Daniel says, I like Sam Dwyer. And I say, Oh, why do you like him? Something like, I don't know if I asked, maybe, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, not to Daniel. Um, but Daniel says, I like Sam Dwyer. And I say, Oh, why do you like him? Something like, I don't know if I asked, maybe she said, I like Sam Dwyer cause he plays guitar. And I'm like, dang, I'll play a guitar. I'll learn how to do that. That's all you want, baby. So yeah, me, Sam and my friend Logan, we all learned how to play guitar. And that was why I tried to do that to impress her. I eventually did not like her anymore, but still like, I probably, I probably would have bagged her if I, if I would have bagged that dog. Um, that's like the ironic part of like, I learned how to play guitar to impress girls.

And then I eventually like led worship and it was like a very different eventual, uh, outcome with it. But I guess I tried to impress a girl that way. That's a good answer yeah i i really can't remember much stuff that i did i'm sure i like i wanted girls to like see that i was excelling in sports in high school yeah yeah i was like trying to get an idea like oh it's cool that you came to the game did you do you watch did you see like that no look past third quarter like how much are we paying attention there was one girl that I remember trying to like,

I had her locker combination memorized. I thought that would impress her. Her locker combination? Like she told me it. It wasn't like I've been watching. Yeah. Like, oh, now I can sneak in. Like you, like every time you see a different number,

like 42. Okay. 42. Okay. One step closer. 16. Was that before or after 42? Okay.

So it's 42 blank 16 or 42 16 blank. All right. Yeah. That didn't work. I think I've talked about the podcast before. was that before or after 42 you know so it's 42 blank 16 or 42 16 blank all right uh yeah that didn't work um i think i've talked about the podcast before once upon a time i wrote this girl an entire choose your own adventure book for our first date um she is now gay that didn't work out she chose a different adventure she was a pitcher or the catcher never mind okay hello she chose a different adventure yeah she chose the one without me i will say you go from what i know about your relationships you go pretty pretty hard at the beginning at least you have in the past where it's certain girls and i it's i don't think it's a good quality i don't i don't know i don't think it's a bad quality i think

if the girl's not really into it though you'll learn quick which is not the worst thing in the world it's not and i think that's probably subconsciously why. Maybe why you do it. Yeah. I'd rather like fast forward a bit. Like, I don't remember the specifics of this, but I remember you went on like some kind of Skype date. I don't know.

It was like probably two years ago. Do you remember this? Like, it was like some like very fun themed date with this girl. Oh, yeah. Morgan Liu. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. She's married now. Well, different adventure. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. She's married now. Well, different adventure. Yeah. That's okay. But, but it was like, it was like kind of a fun, like not extreme thing, but like it was, it was very creative, very out there. Like not just like a, Hey, let's get together on Skype and talk. Like it was like, no, let's do

this really fun thing that I've really thought about and been creative about. I found a, uh, who wants to be a millionaire PowerPoint template online. I downloaded that and then made my own game, but it was for like, get to know you questions. See dude, like that freaking, like that fires me up because someday you're going to find the right girl and she's going to love that. You know what I mean?

Like, it's like, yes, like whatever. Like the million dollar question was tough. Really? But she got lifelines. Okay. She like called my friend. See, that's awesome. That's so fun. It was sweet. Oh, that's great i love that yeah didn't work out yeah well she was save that template one other thing that she did gotta give her props and anyone else for free to

use this too in a long distance relationship so she she was super down she loved the first one she's like all right next one i get to plan it yeah so she sends me some stuff in the mail that comes a few days before our next skype date and she's like, don't open it until like it's time to Skype. So it was masks, leggings, and a racer back. She's like, go ahead. Go ahead. Try it on. Just see what you think.

Show your bra. Show your bra. Let's see that Georgia peach. Let's see that Georgia. And it was like all these different things for, uh, to compete with each other and minute to win at games. So it's like a pedometer that you could like put on your head and you do like this game to see how many like steps you get with your head. And there was,

uh, I don't even remember the other stuff. They do a cookie game where you're like, you have to move your mouth. Yeah. That was probably one. Anything that you can do like virtually. That's hilarious.

It was pretty fun. Uh, only got through two of them, but from what I remember, but yeah, it was great. Yeah. That's great, man. I man i uh i don't know how we started talking about that um zach johnston oh yeah impressing girls impressing girls yeah okay so his other question was growing a community comedy podcast you need to answer that i feel like you know well but i just

i feel like ever since i've known you, you've always had a really strong community. Like even when you only had like whatever, 3000 followers, it was like you had 3000 followers, but you know, 1700 people would like your post or whatever. I'm like everyone that follows Jake really cares about what they're like, what Jake's posting. So how do you do that, Jake? Besides just being genuine.

I feel like that's honestly the formula. It's hard for people to do and still try to, you know, be intentionally growing. I feel like that's honestly the formula. It's hard for people to do and still try to, you know, be intentionally growing. I don't know. I mean, nothing else that I'm about to say has been strategic. I'll tell you what I've done and maybe that helps, but I think in the early stages, maybe that's part of it is like, you can't be that strategic. Just do your thing. Just do whatever comes natural. Yeah. Yeah. Cause that's all I did. I was starting to grow a following a little like years ago just because I kept working at Canicuck and just like every summer I'd get an extra 500 new people but each one of those 500 people had met me in person

and then once they saw Instagram Jake they're like oh this is like the Instagram version is just as fun it's what I expected and I think I had like a good, like I retained followers as well because I was still myself, but still fun. Um, I don't know. I think Instagram is like, people love to be entertained. If you're doing even something somewhat out of the ordinary, it's like, this is cool. This is fun. Whatever.

I don't know. I really don't know. I think I'm just like, I've never played a character either. You know, this was probably why my Instagram is not bigger than it is. I've always just like, this is my life. This is is what i'm doing which is what you're good at though i don't think you're as good honestly about the character stuff yeah i don't think that's your strong suit like i've never done that any other thing so maybe that's why it's also like a stronger community because people feel like they're getting me they're not getting like a version of me that's

like an internet version of me well that's what's so insane is like every time you go to phoenix you'll be like yeah i stay with this person or like this person that I don't really know, like said like, Hey, let's get together. And I'm like, I don't think anybody would ever say that. Like, like I was in Waco last two weekends ago and like no one, like I'm sure there were another Texan people that listen to the podcast or whatever. But you probably heard me on the air on the podcast last time. I was like, you say the Airbnb.

Yeah. It just like shocked me that you didn't like crash with someone because that's all I've done for eight years. Right. Yeah. So it was just like, yeah, it's just so crazy that people are like, yeah, come stay with me. I've met you once, you know? Yeah. I'm so comfortable with you. Like, so maybe that's part of it. Zach. Zach. Last thing I'll say about podcast community is Brad and I didn't ever talk about this strategically, but we're just doing it. Don't be afraid to like build on your inside jokes. I think that helps build a community. Yeah. Cause typically my, like, if I was to be strategic and be like, don't use inside jokes that way, no one feels ostracized. They're very first episode in,

if their first episode 78, then they don't know previous things we're talking about. But I think it's accidentally worked for our favor. Cause one, people want to go back and listen. What are these guys talking about? What are they referencing and two it is like it builds depth yeah yeah it's been really cool it's almost like we have like seasons of our podcast like oh we didn't basement we didn't do scott until season three you know like whatever you know oh you remember domi she was season one but every once in a while we still talk about her you know that is true like the characters definitely have seasons very parks and rec that's what Parks and Rec kind of did too. You know, we're like the Parks and Rec podcast. Wow, that's good.

Yeah. I think we're, yeah, we're about to be in like the Harrison season maybe. I think we could be. I think it's Harrison season. Don't tell Mr. James. J-Bone? Yeah, don't tell J-Bone. Really good question, Zach.

I hope we somewhat decently answered it well. Oh, we did great. Oh, we did. Yeah. Hey, Jake and brad this is angela coming at you from heston kansas let's go heston introduced to your podcast by my friends courtney connor and logan so shout out to them because i know they're listening to this episode but i'm actually sort of talking to you guys from the past because i started listening to you guys

around june of this year but i wanted to start at the very beginning of your episode so I didn't miss anything. I'm currently on episode 61, so I'm slowly getting caught up. But my random question for you guys is, what is your most bizarre situation or encounter you've had? Maybe just with another person or just situationally. But anyways, thanks so much for making me laugh and spreading so much positivity.

Bye-bye. Angela, thank you for the question. Okay, Brad just pulled up the Heston, Kansas mascot. Yeah. Okay. What do you think that was? It looks like maybe like a 1970s logo for the Cleveland Indians.

That's fair. Is that close? That looks like it's not close to what it actually is, but that's exactly what it looks like. This is like a country thing. Like, so maybe you understand. Do you know what a swather is? No.

I think it's like some kind of farm vehicle that they, but I think Heston is like known for making swathers. And so their mascot is the Heston Swathers. Huh? Fun fact about Heston, Kansas for you. The Zerker's grandparents live in Heston. Where do they? Yeah. guys the heston swathers huh fun fact about heston kansas for you the zerkers uh grandparents live in swat uh heston where do they yeah yeah that's cool anyway heston shout out ray uh angela something bizarre bizarre bizarre i don't know i just need to write down things like this you need

to have all your bizarre things ready to go yeah i need to have a bizarre note. Anything coming to mind? No, I don't know. I've got a series of coinky dinks that I could talk about. Love it. Just, well, maybe I should save them next time someone asked me for something bizarre.

I don't know. I'll just do one round. Just do one for now. Um, the way you said bizarre right there was great. Bizarre, bizarre. Okay. Um, once upon a time i'm in a cross-country road trip in a limousine maybe i've mentioned it before okay uh in a

limousine is that what you said limousine yeah yeah limo for short oh okay i we find ourselves in las vegas uh for like a night or two we always did a somewhat decent job of like instagram story hey we're in this city tonight if you're with us come out come hang whatever yeah and some people joined up with us that night kind of i think we told them like which casino we were at and they joined up with us but i had a friend visiting me that weekend ty and kyle had a friend visiting them so we were already running five deep and then i found an el ingeniero slot machine that i was like really keyed in on like i was the main one playing that i was winning money you're riding the pony i was riding the pony so i wasn't talking that much to our our other guests

Okay, explain that. No, no, I'm sorry. I had the bizarre story. You take the Culver story. Their carbonator was out on their drinks, and so they went and got Jake and Isaac two liters,

and I partaked. Partook. Partooked. Anyway, while we were there, this is like such a random small inside joke. It was so funny at the time. I don't even remember how exactly. Was it Harrison that was talking?

Harrison was talking about a certain type of cup. that what oh he's like you know oh because we're talking about two liters okay we're talking about two liters now they're not nearly as good as cans and fountains and everything else and he's like you know like you go to a party and and i like stopped him like quickly i was like yeah yeah yeah i've been i've been to a party i've been to a party that's it that's all we kind of went on with it yeah i was like i was like no he's been to parties and i whispered here i've actually never seen him he's probably been to a party i think he's been to one though i think i'm sure it's a party right like we think brad's been to a party i'm sure he's been to a party yeah god was like i don't know i don't know

maybe probably you would you would think that he's been to a party so anyway i don't know anyway he's been to a party. So anyway. I don't know. Anyway, you've been to parties. Nothing bizarre, though. Nothing bizarre. I don't know. I'm sure.

I'm so bad at racking my, like, quickly remembering stuff like that. Because I've had so many experiences. Not as many as you, but still many, you know. So, bizarre. One more time. Bizarre. I'll just make that my funny thing about that. Voicemail. That's. One more time. Bizarre. I'll just make that my funny thing about that.

That's how you say bizarre. That's good. Do you see this text that we just got from James? No. He said, tonight I had someone ask for me in the drive-thru.

I'm from Tennessee. Jessica. I came to you guys from listening to Correct Opinions and have been listening for a while. First time caller, though. Thanks for the laughs. You guys are awesome.

Welcome. You're welcome. Anyways, so long story short, I am a waitress at a pretty popular restaurant in Columbia, Tennessee. Oh, how nice. How nice. On some country music stars that come into the restaurant. One in particular that comes in often is, um, Billy Ray Cyrus. So the last time that he was in.

Billy Ray. I waited on him and I kept making puns when I waited on him, but I kept trying to like slip them in to my conversation with him like inconspicuously. But he comes in often enough and I need more puns, guys. I need more puns. So help me out. Bye bye. What a situation to find yourself in.

I keep seeing Billy Ray Cyrus, but i ran out of puns to say to him well i've already i've already addressed this once haven't we we've already talked about billy ray cyrus puns uh back in like back in like season one i i may have edited that part out okay we we added that i think i edited it out find a nickel for every time someone asks me about puns for billy ray cyrus gosh and just write a book at this point. What do we know about Billy Ray besides the fact that he is Hannah Montana or Miley Cyrus' dad? Both. No.

No? I don't know. You get the best of both worlds. I don't know. Does that come from the dad? I don't know. I, fun fact, true story. It's, here's the real thing.

This is a nonfiction story. Never seen it. You want me to keep going? Yeah. No, I, uh, I saw Billy Ray Cyrus hit a diner in LA one time. Did you? No puns. No words.

Not even really eye contact. He's a double name, though. You could have been like, hey, you got a middle name? Hey. What's your monogram look like? Hey, Mary Claire says hi. You got clairvoyance? Or I mean, sweet baby Ray's barbecue?

Sweet Billy Ray. Oh, crap. Crap. Oh, we'll get there. Okay. Whoa, this is bizarre, huh? Whoa. How are you getting out of here?

Taking that old town road? That's so bad. Here's what I know about Billy Ray Cyrus. Old town road, achy, breaky heart. That's it. So we could either make two puns about that, or we could dive a little deeper and just make Miley Cyrus puns. Yeah.

Because surely he knows all her songs. Yes. I think he did a lot for her. Or we could dive a little deeper and just make Miley Cyrus puns. Yeah. Surely he knows all her songs. Yes. I think he did a lot for her. Like, oh, like, like, oh, this is, this is like, oh, what's her name? The girl, the waitress? Jessica. Jessica delivers the food to Billy Ray.

And he says, oh, this looks great. And she goes, ah, Bellissimo. And he goes, what did you say, sweetheart? And she goes, oh, sorry. goes what did you say sweetheart and she goes oh sorry you say purdy in the usa you say party in the usa nice what do you think pretty good i mean he'll for sure get that one yeah he'll definitely get it that's good good. Um, you got foliage, you got foliage outside. Safe word. Yeah. And,

uh, he's like, Oh, that, that, that tree's looking nice, but the leaves are falling. Um,

that's like, yeah, yeah, we, we, we, uh, we used some utensils and got that,

you know, all those leaves kind of, um, just joined. This is so bad. This is so dumb. I'm sorry. You know, we like...

We gathered all those leaves together. Oh, yeah. We used a raking ball. We got under... A raking ball. Stupid! Your turn. Please.

Puns are... I don't know anything about Billy Ray Cyrus. Puns are hard. I would just go back to... Oh, your disc is almost full. Dang it. You can say that to Billy Ray Cyrus. I was like, I don't get it.

He has that song. Your disc is almost full. Uh-oh. Oh, royalties. We're going to lose. Oh, crap. Mute it. Mute it on YouTube.

You could be like. You like. Oh, go ahead. Like, I imagine. Yeah, you're. She's a waitress, right? That's what Yeska said. Yes.

It's a busy night. She's a little slow getting Billy Ray's food. He's like, oh, what took you so long? And she goes, anything about how waitress, right? That's what Jeska said? Yes. It's a busy night. She's a little slow getting Billy Ray's food. He's like, oh, what took you so long? And she goes, anything about how fast I get there? Ah? And then like finger guns. Is that a... It's from the climb.

It's a pretty big line. Oh, okay. What about how fast I get there? Oh, okay, okay. Just the climb. Or just in general, maybe it's a two-story restaurant. Sorry, the climb up here is just tough. Sorry, yeah.

It's always going to be an uphill battle. Yeah. It's definitely finger guns. Yeah, you could be like, you'd be like, now, is the shrimp here good or is the steak better? You're like, you can get the surf or turf. Best of both worlds. Best of both worlds. You got it.

I don't know. Achy, breaky heart. Achy, breaky. He's like, should I get the grits or should I get the salmon? Well, I mean, grits are going to taste better, but it might give you a little bit of the acid reflux. It's called the achy breaky heart. Now, can I get those? I'd like the spinach artichoke pasta, but can I get those artichokes just kind of cut up real nice and small?

Yeah, sure. We can get you some achy breaky artichokes. We can break you those up for you. We can break you those up for you. We can break you those up, no problem. That's all I know. That's about as far as I get. The climb, we could think about something with the wrecking ball. We can't

stop. Oh, what if she's like, you know, do you want some parmesan cheese on there? Tell me when. Go ahead and stop. Stop. We can't stop. We can't stop. We can't stop, Billy Ray. We won't. She's like, do you get the pun?

He's like, yeah, but you're ruining my food. Yeah. Okay, so there you go, Jessica. Hopefully that's enough. You'll love it. Billy Ray, double name. He'll love that too. He'll love it.

He'll love it. Ask him about his monogram. Hey, Brad and Jake. This is Karen from Washington State. And yes, I'm a millennial named Karen. It's a whole thing. Sorry, good audio though on Karen. Sucks to be me.

Yeah, good job on that. I have a question for you guys regarding Just Drinks. Oh! This is going to sound like one of those super annoying questions. Like, is a hot dog a sandwich? But I promise you it's good. But it borders on that so i apologize in advance in the summertime are you serving snow cones thoughts god bless on three ready one two three no no you were gonna say sure jake i'm a little thrown off by a number of things just now i don't see how that question

is anything close to his hot dog a sandwich because is snow gonna drink oh yeah never mind i'm with you i was expecting like a like a riddle okay let's practice are we gonna serve hot dogs on three one two three heck no heck no i should have said no that's okay we're just gonna go yes or no okay okay okay let's try it again okay let's do let's do either uh absolutely yes we would no doubt or or no way no way that would be bizarre to do that at just drinks ready one two three no way that would be bizarre to do that at Just Drinks. Ready? One, two, three. No way, that would be bizarre to do at Just Drinks. I didn't hear the question. I didn't know what my options were.

Hot dogs. One, two, three. No way, that would be bizarre to do at Just Drinks. See? That's good. I got it now. Okay, so snow cones. But we have cherry limeade?

One, two, three. Heck yes, that was, of course. No doubt. No doubt. Okay. Okay. one two three no doubt okay okay so we're gonna do uh snow cones on three ready one two three just drinks yeah the more i've thought about it of course we're not going to that's not a drink anything you can't drink through a straw? Straws only. Keyword can't drink? Look at the t-shirt, guys. Look at the logo. There's a straw

there. The straw. Just drinks. Justin, put the merch right in now. And now. Just drinks. Just drinks. One more time. Just drinks. Dab them up and just drinks. And I wipe it away. Now take it away and And one more time.

Just drink. That's going to be great. Just drinks. Let me let me throw it up to you. Boom. Yeah, just drinks. Yeah. Way up there.

Up top of the top right part of the screen. And just drink. Oh, Brad, we got a little bump for you. Bump set. And that's going to be great for the visuals. The audio is going to be like, I don't know about this happening there. I don't get the inside jokes is my first episode,

but that's okay. Cause we're going to have depth. Karen, five Karen with the good audio wants to know if we're doing, uh, what is snow cones? No way. No way.

No way. Sorry. Extra machines. That's going to take us longer. Like we're, we're all about efficiency. It just drinks in and out. That's why you come to us instead of McDonald's. Yeah. Cause you can get a drink fast. All way. Sorry. Extra machines. That's going to take us longer. Like we're all about efficiency. It just drinks in and out. That's why you come to us instead of McDonald's.

Yeah. Cause you can get a drink fast. All right. Absolutely. And so a snow cone, like if you were running out of ice, you got it. Sorry.

Can you pull ahead? Our snow cone machine is going a little slow. We are not going to be the pull ahead people. You never have to pull ahead. Never. That's, that's our motto. Never.

It's just drinks. Never had to pull ahead. Yeah. We don't, uh, we, you don't pull ahead. You let us pull,

pull ahead from the competition. We, we will, we will push towards profits while making sure you never have to pull ahead. Pull ahead. Absolutely. Mariah Carey. That's it.

That's it. That's it. That's it. It's just drinks. Um, yeah. Cause I think anytime, if people are going to a place called just drinks and like,

I got to pull ahead, what could possibly be going on in there? What's go is the carbonator out and they have to go get two liters. That's the only thing I can think of. Bailey shift manager. Yeah. She worked out Culver's Bailey. Yeah.

She might listen. There's another funny story about Bailey last night. Are you talking about it? Yeah. Golly. Okay. So I, I, I wrote herlly. Okay. I order first. Yeah.

You go ahead. That's it. Okay. And then Gunnar and I go up there and we decide we're going to split. Oh, yeah. This is great. Yeah. This is classic Gunnar shooting your shot.

Make sure you guys shoot your shots. Gunnar was like, hey, I know that. He's like, you know those buy one, get one free concrete coupons? And she's like, yeah, I know what those are. He's like,'s like do you guys have any here like usually they send them out in the mail like you don't just give them out and then people just okay i'll use that she's like uh no we don't have any here and gunner goes well like could you just give it to us and she goes yeah i could do that and we're like sweet that's awesome um so br Brad told me that story and I'm like, no way. I was like, eyebrows did that?

And he goes, who? I was like, what are you talking about? I was like, did you go to the same one when I did? He's like, yeah. I was like, oh, eyebrows. I had no idea. I did not notice her eyebrows. I'm married.

I'm just kidding. So then she brings a few people their meals, comes back or leaves again. Brad gets a little better look at her. Yeah. I checked out her eyebrows. I checked out her eyebrows, Catherine. I browsed the eyebrows. Song of Solomon says that's okay.

Yeah. I mean, he calls it like the trumpet's horn, but it's not with the eyebrows. Oh, I thought it was the bassoon's beak. Oh, that's something different? That's something way different. Personification. It was in the second scene of Borat. They show a bassoon's beak.

It's like, whoa. The bassoon's beak it's like whoa the bassoon um so anyway she so she brought her food went back and i was like okay i saw her eyebrows and they actually look and then like right as i say that i see her out of the corner of my eye she's coming back again with some ice cream she's really close and i go really good which i was going to. Which I was going to, I promise I was going to say that anyway, because we talked about how some girls like make their eyebrows at the very end. Like they just, whatever they draw them on or whatever. It does not look good. This girl. Yeah. She had manicured eyebrows. It's probably not the right

word, but she had nice eyebrows, but they weren't like two. They weren't too thin on the sides. And when someone's wearing a mask all i really have is your eyebrows true that's all i really know about you that's what they that's what they say yeah so but anyway she definitely hurt very uncomfortable because no matter what i was i would have had to say they look good at that point oh yeah her eyebrows they're really good really good thank you for my ice cream thank you for giving me a free ice cream i go to parties i i swear i've been to a party with people had eyebrows so no snow cones no snow cones go get those at somewhere else's place just snow cones i will say this is actually funny uh i was showing katherine this week uh some different ideas for logos for just drinks and there was one where it

was like a picture of three different kinds of cups. There was a milkshake, like classic, like milkshake glass cup. And then there was a coffee cup and there was a soda cup. And she goes, well, I don't think we should use that one. Cause you're, you said that you weren't going to serve coffee at this place. Like she was like actually thinking this is a real place that you're going to eventually open up. Brad, I mean, that just makes no sense. I mean, that's just, that's just ridiculous to put that on the shirt. Like I laughed at her. I was like, this is a fake business.

She's like, but you said you weren't going to serve coffee. Cause she like had this idea. She's like, that'd be awesome. You could have all these different kinds of coffee. And I was like, no, that would take too long. We're not doing coffee. Let's just drink. And so she's like, actually, I've been thinking about it.

I don't think you guys should do coffee anymore. I've been thinking about it. She did like a couple guys should do coffee anymore. I've been thinking about it. She did like a couple of days later. I talked with some of the women in my BSF group. We think no coffee. I put it on the prayer request list for the week. And yeah, they came back and said no coffee. Diane got back to me.

We're with you. It was a good call to go no coffee. Yeah. I mean, it's really popular in Utah and they're Mormon. They don't even drink caffeine. So no coffee for them. No coffee for us. So.

Bada bing, bada boom. Bada bing, bada boom. Bada bing, boom. Use my Bada bing, bada boom. Bada bing, boom. Use my little kid voice. Okay. From here. Is it time? One, two, three.

It's showtime. Yes. It's time. We did not plan that. That was wonderful. That was not it. Absolutely. We did not plan that.

That came out of nowhere. So. What are we doing now? Brad, would you like to end this episode with a jingle yeah yeah no reviews um i can never remember the order episode 78 i still don't really know if we go with the jingle at the end okay okay okay um it's okay i mean let's talk about our review of the week okay okay uh which one is mine I you know I'm gonna go with the one that says Jake you idiot you are that one's so mean to you I didn't like that one Bodorn go ahead I just felt bad for you Jake oh it's okay

okay good my skin is of medium depth yeah You got that alligator skin. Jake, you idiot. I love the way you just said that. With such disdain. I say you forget The Bachelorette and try out for Survivor. I would pay to watch you on that show. In all honesty, though, you probably wouldn't win. But that's okay, buddy. Buddy?

This guy. Come on. Seriously, though. I love the podcast makes my every monday so he says seriously though so i think he was just joking seriously though you probably would win but that's okay buddy seriously though so it just it was all a joke up until that point in all honesty though honestly you did say that at the beginning in all honesty though you probably wouldn't win seriously though so he got honest halfway through.

And then at the very end, he got serious. So, yeah, that's tough. Good job, Bodrun. Quick fun fact about Survivor. So, Ty, Gatewood, another thing we didn't talk about in the podcast, this week, he was supposed to find out if he was getting on Survivor or not.

Like, that's how close he was. Like, he has like a casting producer assigned to him that like calls him and updates him on the process. And he was supposed to hear back Tuesday and never did. And so he's like followed up each day. They're not even getting back to him. Yeah, I haven't got back to him. But he was like, maybe he's like an alternate or something, though.

Yeah, like I really think Ty's not the type to really talk about this unless like it was probably like he was probably told it was pretty close to happening. Oh, that was a very good job on there. Oh, my gosh. Yeah. I mean, I don't know how we do without cheese whiz, but Oh, he would be so entertaining on that show. This is going to sound weird, but I feel like he's got like the perfect body type for a survivor. He is, you know, like he's like, like skinny, but not like so fit skinny. No, it's like smooth. Yeah. Yeah. Very good. It's like not anti-skid. Yeah. It's going to show your bra off. All right. My review of the week comes from Emily Core.

It says, a podcast that will make you look forward to Monday mornings. I love this podcast. I look forward to Monday mornings now. Who does that? And listen to the podcast on my early morning runs. Currently in the process of convincing my husband and siblings to listen to it. My tactic has been dropping these inside jokes in my conversations with them before telling them, oh, you won't get that until you listen to the Ghost Runners podcast.

So the new merch is not bad. Comfort color is a stellar choice. Thank you. Also, comfort wash is very nice. Oh, yeah. I added that part in. I would love to rep the podcast even more with a Just Drink shirt.

Oh, hint, hint. Hint, hint, hint. We are doing those. Hint, hint. Yeah. You guys rock. All right, best get going now. I love it.

Let's rock. Emily Korn, thank you. That was awesome. You don't think it's Emily Korn, do you?

Nailed it. Totally made up for it. We'll fix it in post fix in post for sure um brad any final thoughts nope okay i don't think so my final thoughts are watching workaholics okay thought watching workaholics never watched it before you ever watched it no you would like it okay i believe you and i think it's i it kind of motivated me jake i think we should make a tv show okay that's not really a great final thought because it's kind of a deep one or a big one but i think

we should make more videos together in general just in general yeah just drink just rentals just in generals just generals just generals and then have a picture of generals on it like train i did that i don't know if you saw like that reaction video i didn't watch it that's fine i i think i'm decent at that kind of stuff. And I think you would be even better. And together we would be very good at like reacting to stuff and like quickly making comments about it. Let's try it sometime. Yeah.

After this. Right now. Okay. During the podcast. Cut. No, like the very first season, like they, it's about these three guys that work in the same office together and they live together. They're like three best friends.

And the very first season, like the house that they live in is literally the house that they actually lived in like oh cool yeah it's like it's like and they're all they're all like named like their characters names or their actual names in real life good for these guys this is cool it's like and they they got popular by just making youtube videos they're like some of the first youtube sketch people okay and then comedy central picked it and yeah, they kind of got big from there. Okay, cool. But it's really interesting. It's not the most appropriate show in the world,

but we've already endorsed Borat, so let's endorse some inappropriate shows. But it's on Comedy Central, so it's not that bad. But yeah, it's really, it's funny. What kind of videos do you want to, or what kind of TV show do you want to make with me? Maybe just that.

Like maybe we should just live together in the same house. Okay, work a holic. Yeah, call ourselves the Ghostrun ghost ghost runner holics we'll call ourselves the uh aristocats perfect cool my final thoughts are just drinks merch go get it now last week for fall merch um it's not even close to the last week where you can sign up to be a patron, but you should look into it anyway. Yeah. It's fun.

Brad and I were just talking about the gifts that we're going to be potentially getting our $15 patrons come Christmas time. Yeah. So there's a little incentive there. Yeah. And I think those are all my final thoughts. Great. Thanks for listening, guys.

We always appreciate it. Always appreciate it. Genuinely, really, really appreciate it. Hey, just genuinely. Just genuine. Appreciate it. Appreciate it. Hey really appreciate it hey just just genuinely just genuine appreciate it hey go have a go have a crazy week go have a bizarre week
