That was a great example of like, as I'm saying it, one realizing, oh, I'm kind of weird too for me on Facebook at 12.05 and having no jokes to go along with it. Oh, okay. Well, speaking of Facebook, I actually noticed this last week, maybe when I was on Facebook randomly.
Starting point is 00:02:08 I don't know what I was actually looking for. Maybe some video that you and I were in together or something, I don't know. But I found this like thread. I don't even remember doing this. Do you remember doing this? It was in 2014. So it was like, was that when I,
Starting point is 00:02:21 yeah, it was the first year we were married, probably the first year you worked for K-Life. Yes. Yes. And the first thing I ever wrote on your wall, um, December 4th, 2014, Hey JT, which I never called you JT in real life, but it's been established that I call you that over text sometimes. Hey JT, I heard you, I heard you talking last night about how much you needed fertilizer. So here you go. And we basically just had these like things back and forth about all these crazy Craigslist finds that we found. Do you remember this? I can barely remember this. And so I sent my first link to you

Anyway. thanks for being a fan of the song that's a that's a nice little stroll down memory lane yeah it was pretty fun you just brought up facebook so i was like okay i'll bring this up i also like that the only way to go down memory lane is by strolling you know you don't you don't skip that's a nice walk down memory lane no you don't jaunt no you're not a jaunter down memory lane you have have to stroll. Let's stroll. I wouldn't hate waltzing down memory lane a time or two.
Starting point is 00:04:47 No, I'm very content with strolling down memory lane. Strolling sounds nice. It sounds like you have oversized bicycle tires, and you're just coasting. You're strolling. And you're going. Gears on a bike or no? No gears, but you have a mailbox. Not a mailbox.
Starting point is 00:05:04 Like a thing for your picnic basket like a picnic basket you have a thing it's a mailbox but you put uh other things in it you put like basket things it's woven yeah you can play you could put a hole in it and play ball call it basketball i guess i don't know mailbox basketball um so yeah i think you stroll down with with your Jessica Day you know new girls kind of bike down memory lane it's a cobblestone road of course and you're just like that was a good memory huh that was and and the whole time it's like it's not a sunsetty it's nice good temperature great tip I'm in a nice sundress and you are

I am her and I'm in a sundress and I'm going down memory lane. With your lovable fancy rats. My fancy rats. Yeah. My fancy basket. Brad, you've had quite the week. Do you want to tell everyone about it?
Starting point is 00:05:54 I've had quite the week in the sense of I've done nothing this week. It's been kind of a crappy week. Why haven't you done anything? Because I haven't been able to smell or taste because I've contracted the corona. Uh-oh. Corona. What is it? Corona virus basket.
Starting point is 00:06:06 Corona basket. Corona weaving. Um, yeah. Corona night tween. I don't know. I've had, I've had COVID this past week. I, I, I realized it on Christmas day, which is just the most fun time to realize it. When you're with your family and you're like, crap, this honey baked ham is kind of bland
Starting point is 00:06:23 this year, right? You guys noticing this? That's turkey, Brad. Oh, crap. I got to go. So started not being able to taste and then, yeah, felt pretty rough for like one night and then felt fine. Honestly, I haven't, I still haven't like fully gotten my smell and taste back.
Starting point is 00:06:39 But other than that. How are your other senses? You're hearing fine? I'm not, honestly. You touching fine? I'm not, honestly. No, fine? I'm not, honestly. No? No, I haven't.
Starting point is 00:06:47 I try to reach for something and I miss. Oh, no. It's like, oh. Dang it. How are you seeing? I'm seeing good. Seeing good. Seeing well, yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:56 Seeing good. Hey, like I should. Went and took a stroll down memory lane in the neighborhood. Yeah, yeah. So brain synapses are still doing fine, obviously. Yeah, still firing. One of the symptoms is confusion. I feel like I've been fine with that.
Starting point is 00:07:13 I don't think I've been very confused. One of the more underrated lines from the Epic livestream that had the spelling bee in it was when you almost had to spell Confucius, I think. No, no, sorry, dang it. I ruined the punchline. You almost had to spell Fuchsia. It was like, oh, I gave you this one. I almost had to spell Fuchsia. And then Harrison says like, oh, that was Confucius afterwards. See, I need to watch it again. I'll remember him saying that. That's awesome.
Starting point is 00:07:36 Something like that. I've watched a lot of things. None of them were the live stream again, but I've just been downstairs in my basement most of the time. I'll come up, you know, to eat, to take a shower, to say hello to my kids and my wife. Have you left the house? I left the house to go get tested. And that was it. This is, this is the only other time I've left the house and I came straight here. Good. Yep. And here I am. So, um, yeah, Brad gave me some options. Uh, was it last night of like, Hey, how do we want to, we got to get this episode out before monday i was like and i felt really irresponsible for not talking to you
Starting point is 00:08:08 about it before i did no i was trying to leave you alone to not pressure you yeah which i appreciate that too so anyway uh yeah brad gave me some options it was like uh you know i do it by myself i do it with some sort of guest host but then brad has a role in it maybe because we do some competitions uh we do a zoom call facetime or we just keep our distance and make it happen and I said option one all day baby he's a distance and let's do this thing yeah just how you want but we're doing this because we love it yes I am I'm probably gonna get Koba 19 just so I didn't have to zoom call Brad that's how bad zoom calls are getting done with zoom I will get this virus before i zoom call on a podcast
Starting point is 00:08:46 seriously so here we are hopefully it works out i'll just i'll do what i always do i'll look myself in the mirror and have a nice one-on-one conversation with my immune system and say hey not today not today you're done not we're fine today yeah i did it over christmas because my sister had covid and uh you drove her down there. It's surrounding me. He's fine. He's around it. You just got to have those talks with your immune system and you'll be fine. How do you do it? Like in the morning, at night, both always.
Starting point is 00:09:13 Well, the, what you do is you keep your immune system guessing because it's, it's like the whole thing is mind over matter. So if your immune system knows the talks coming, you've already lost good. You got to surprise it. That's good parenting advice too. Yeah. I don't even always go bathroom mirror. Oh, really?
Starting point is 00:09:28 I have a series of like handheld mirrors that I keep in my, in my dresser. I didn't want to ask. Yeah. I was like, why, why is this right next to your bed? Yeah. My roommates have started calling me Edward, uh, scissor hands. Yeah. But I was like, well, it would have to be mirror hands.
Starting point is 00:09:41 So forget it. Forget it. I feel like confused. Oh, crap. I mean, like, well, it would have to be mirror hands. So forget it. Forget it. I feel like confused. Oh, crap. I mean, like, what was it? Three weeks ago, our episode, we were just off the wall, like just random things. So there's no way you can really gauge how confused you are versus normal. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:58 That's how I feel about like children being diagnosed with ADHD or ADD. It's like one, they're kids. Yeah. So they're not going to be the most focused people. And also like, look at TikTok, look at cell phones. They had iPads and there were three. They're going to be lacking some, you know, attention. Seriously.
Starting point is 00:10:12 Some. That's true. Some confusion. It's just. What's the word? Attentiveness. Attentiveness. Attention.
Starting point is 00:10:20 Attention was great. So just switch up the time of day you're talking to your immune system the size okay of the mirror you're using okay and you'll be like uh you'll be like me great okay good our whole house we're starting to feel like we are the immunity house a little bit like i think a long time ago we told that story about harrison he shared a sandwich before they knew that people were positive seriously in the same day shared a sandwich with one guy who had covid and shared a drink with a girl who had covid yeah and he didn't get it he's fine and ike is ike dated a girl that had it oh that's right remember that like yeah she he went down and like was in fayetteville whenever all these girls in her sorority including her got covid and he got
Starting point is 00:11:00 tested he was fine yeah yeah that was crazy and now you you've your parents your grandparents no parents had at thanksgiving sister had at christmas yeah i might try to get it for groundhog day or april fool's day another big holiday and they're like i didn't have it all long got you guys i still want to hang out with you anyway so what's been going on now that you're immune uh let's see now that i have yeah diagnosed myself as completely immune to everything god now that i say this i'm gonna ask for not even gonna be able to record next week's in the hospital um i've done i mean quite a bit it's been a pretty normal week just doing all sorts of stuff i uh one thing let's just get this out of the way right now have you
Starting point is 00:11:38 have you been on instagram.com recently oh yeah the website yeah just just all the time okay so you're the perfect guy to bring this up too great let's talk about how everyone and i'm not even exaggerating let's just go ahead and chalk it up everyone had the same exact caption tell me no okay talk to me everyone had the same one not everyone obviously most people wow 2020 i'm not reading by the way i'm gonna put this down so you know i'm not reading it i'm not gonna listen but while reading either wow 2020 has definitely been a crazy year safe to say we'll be remembering this one for a while lots of lows but certainly lots of highs
Starting point is 00:12:17 as well nice to have this one by my side we'll see you in 2021 cheers to a better year you know something along those lines like if you don't have to look at anything we should add a bingo board for like instagram posts on december 31st i mean everyone has the same caption yeah and uh that's fine it's your instagram do what you want but yeah i just can't imagine seeing everything already out there i'm like i should add to this i should do the same thing that everyone else is doing with my loved one with the same caption. Well, yeah. And it's like, I don't get it. It's like, it's no secret that 2020 was crazy, but everyone still has to say it. That's what's so funny to me. It's not a secret. There's no secret that this is the truth. And it's like, right.
Starting point is 00:12:58 So yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Catherine, like funny. She she's like weirdly, I don't know if it's sensitive. I don't know if that's truly the right word, but she has like a passion about this kind of thought of like, especially since Bo was born in 2020. She's like, I don't want Bo to remember like the year that he was born is like this terrible, like, you know, God forsaken year or something like that. Yeah. And so she just, did you see her Instagram posts for December 3rd? She like doesn't post very often.
Starting point is 00:13:23 She just posted a picture of Bo and Hattie. was like it was an amazing year it was just 2020 rocked yeah I was like yes that was it 2020 rocked yes and I was like I mean Catherine we all know it was a crazy year it's no secret hey 2020 has been crazy right and I like that she's finding the positives you know and all that stuff but yeah i do remember seeing that 2020 rocked and it was just a nice picture of beau and hattie so it did rock for us in a lot of ways so not trying to be insensitive to the people that had hardships but i just remembered that katherine's capture reminded me one of my friends she said uh her caption was i will not all caps reflect on 2020 over social media i don't know that i deserve to and we all know the narrative now it's boring period and then said yeah but i will say i'm grateful for this pic yada yada yeah but i was like i love that yes it's like we don't need to reflect on this year we've all experienced
Starting point is 00:14:13 it we all have the same sentiments and same thoughts i get it right it's it's really hard when you have coronavirus and you're sitting in your basement by yourself on new year's eve to like read all these things they're like oh it's pretty creative what they're doing that's pretty fun yeah these people that are getting together it's like i liked him texting katherine happy new year love you good night at like 9 30 you know a couple hours later yeah hey 2020 has been crazy huh i was just thinking 2020 rocked oh yes you're right you're gonna become like uh uh andy in the uh episode where um he doesn't know how to send a text crazy pigeon action are you seeing this i'm right here megan fox are you yeah megan fox oh that's a new new take i have that's the the china episode china i think that's
Starting point is 00:14:59 one of the top five opposite episodes for me whoa like re-watching it whoa this is a good zone top five is really hot i know there's like i know hundreds of episodes how many episodes are five opposite episodes for me. Whoa. Like rewatching it. Whoa. This is a good, so top five is really hot. I know there's like hundreds of episodes. How many episodes do you think there are? 214. There's 114 episodes. That's like in the top 5%. Dang, that's quick math. 5.9%. But yeah, I think it's just a very good episode the whole um i mean everything about it is so there's a lot of good jokes before i would love for you to tell me all about this but before you said that i thought you were going to say i think that was the episode where it started going downhill that was what i thought you were going to say oh like that's that's how not in reverence
Starting point is 00:15:37 i hold that episode i think it's fine but tell me more i just there was just a lot of just well written jokes in that episode that I love. Like Kevin talking about, you know, Michael's asking everyone to think of a big idea, you know, bigger than the great. And acid that part. Kevin's like, and in acid, you take once a week and then they kind of move on. And then no one else, no one else has any ideas. Kevin raises his hand again.
Starting point is 00:15:59 Yes, Kevin. And in acid, you take once a month. Once every four weeks. And then Stanley's, or yeah, I think he says once every six weeks. And then Stanley's like, why not the whole year? And then Kevin, so funny, sticking his head, it's too big to swallow. That's just so funny. Like that he's already thought this out.
Starting point is 00:16:17 Like, no, that's impossible. That'd be impossible, yeah. So that, there's just a lot of jokes like that. They're funny. Yeah. That's the text, you know, like you need to understand what, you what you know is worthy of a text and then i like the emotional aspect i feel like it's a big moment in dwight's character development we see that's where he's the building owner is that one pam he slips nate the notebook and he says i wasn't here pam pam pam
Starting point is 00:16:39 yeah and that's so funny you knowown to be a liar, Pam? Get out of here! Beat it, Pam! That caught me off guard so much the first time I saw that. That's the same episode? Yeah, it's all in that one. That's almost not even an Office-style joke. Like, Pam, Pam, Pam.
Starting point is 00:17:00 You're not a liar, too, are you? Beat it, Pam! Get out of here. Oh, it's so funny. Oh, it's so funny oh it's oh it's good whatever yeah okay china it's good episode yeah and then dwight you know helps you know it's like i did not do it out of compassion but he did and you're like wow dwight cares for pam yeah he does he's sweet he's a sweet guy and netflix officially uh called med love office is no longer there yeah i remember being like do you think it's actually i'm like yes i'll believe when i see it i'll believe when i see it no it's like peacock huh

Starting point is 00:18:14 dude i forgot that someone was here and that oh man that scared me loud noise prisoners oh someone's captured upstairs yeah i never heard of it i think it came out 2013 isaac just googled like good movies he's like going through a list i'm like that one sounds good and uh it's a very good movie okay that's all i really have to say i don't want to say details about it but just like no one's heard of this movie and it's good it's got big names in it watch prisoners okay cool it's on hulu.com i watched a movie hulu.com i i think h. H-O-O-N. Oh, like the owls. Hulu. Hulu.

We were scrolling on Netflix or Plex or whatever the other day with Hattie and there was a family guy like pictures She's like there's a show for kids and I was like you would think Hattie, but it's made for adults.

Starting point is 00:19:36 But okay, so hello prisoners my recommendation. I've watched a lot of movies, but most of them I've seen before Ones that I hadn't seen before, I went on a Matthew McConaughey kick recently. Because you read his book. I listened to his book, yeah. Greenlight. Because your hearing is still doing okay. Doing just great, buddy.

Starting point is 00:20:05 although dallas buyers club is very interesting a very good movie but it's pretty dark in a lot of ways and mud ironically not that dark mud's a pg-13 dark clear as mud and it's got a lot of it's like a coming of age movie i love coming what does that mean it's like pubescent yeah that's kind of what i honestly think of it as like uh any like middle school like fourth grade to middle school kids are in it that's what i was in it not like should watch it but like it features that that's my definition i don't know if that's the true definition make whatever you want a lot uh stranger things um october sky kind of you know whatever stand by me mud Mud. Breakfast club. Breakfast clubs more. I've never seen it.
Starting point is 00:20:46 So I was just taking a high school thing. So yeah. Okay. That's the same as October sky. Yes. October sky as well. Yeah, you're right. Anyway, this is two, two boys live in like rural Arkansas.

Isn't that kind of cartoonish on the front? Shut up. I think it is. I think it is. On the front of what? I like the picture of it. I don't think so. Okay.
Starting point is 00:23:31 Tell me more. I don't know. What website are you talking? Hulu. Netflix. No, it's not. Tell me more. I think it's on Amazon Prime, actually.
Starting point is 00:23:41 That was another one. So Isaac. Oh, that's another one I watched. The Company Men. Ben Affleck. Nah, it's okay. Okay. It one. So Isaac. Oh, that's another one I watched. The Company Men. Ben Affleck. Nah, it's okay. Okay.
Starting point is 00:23:47 Kind of boring. So yeah, Isaac does a great job selecting prisoners on night one because we've been in this big kick. Me, Isaac Harrison. We've made no plans out. I think we just love hanging out with each other so much that we don't seek out other plans. Right. We just hang out in the living room every night.
Starting point is 00:24:00 It's so fun. We put on a fire and a movie and it's great. And Isaac makes cookies. It's seriously, it's been like a great like last four days. That sounds like the perfect like post Christmas thing to do. It's awesome fun. We put on a fire and a movie and it's great. And Isaac makes cookies. It's seriously, it's been like a great, like last four days. That sounds, that sounds like the perfect, like post Christmas thing to do. It's awesome. Yeah. Isaac wasn't sure. Isaac loves, I don't know if you've been around him much recently. I've never seen a man love like one, like piece of food more than how much he loves these Christmas cookies. Well, just a tiny little sugar cookies. Fill in the blank with Isaac. I've never seen a man love boom. And he like,
Starting point is 00:24:22 he just gets so into something and he's so into it forever. I had to tell him. Yeah. I was like, dude, you got to stop burning these songs into the ground. Like when, when a new Justin Bieber song drops, which it just did. And it's great. Arrivals, uh, aftermath, everyone, everybody. What's it called? Anyone. Anyone. I knew it was either A's or every, yeah, whatever. I listened to it last night. You proud of me? Yeah. Good job. job thanks it's pretty good huh i got big phil collins vibes from it i listened to it once but i wasn't like super intentional and i mean you couldn't smell so that's fair could put your nose on it couldn't gone baby gone what are we talking oh yeah hold on uh oh yeah the it's just the coziness
Starting point is 00:24:59 isaac was afraid that these christmas cookies were no longer going to be sold ever christmas so he went up and like my little unicorn like uh dwight shrewd style what's it called oh yeah my princess unicorn yeah just bought up like 12 boxes of christmas cookies like the most generic cookies surely they'll still sell them without the christmas tree on them yeah yeah yeah okay they need to have rudolph though yeah and so we've just been putting down cookies and movies and he did such a good job selecting prisoners on night one. They were like, hey, keep it rolling. Pick us out another one.
Starting point is 00:25:26 Okay. And then he picked out Gone Baby Gone, which I'd heard of. And I was like, oh, I think that's good. It's got a lot of big names in it. And people may not like that. I'm going to say this. I did not think it was good at all. Really?
Starting point is 00:25:36 I thought prisoners were so much better. Whoa. Very high Rotten Tomatoes. 94%. That's why we chose it. Whoa. I was expecting such big things. And I think I'm in the wrong because I even googled gone baby gone bad movie to see if there were like some blog posts who could like legitimize
Starting point is 00:25:50 what i was thinking couldn't find a thing but isaac harrison and i were all like i don't know this is not holding my attention she won an oscar even yeah it's like a huge movie yeah and it didn't do it for me oh wow but i. But I'm not great with movies. So if that upsets you, don't worry about it. I'm silly. You got funny taste. You like the cookies, you know? Yeah. Only the Rudolph ones.
Starting point is 00:26:11 Interesting, though. So yeah, big movie week for both of us. So what else has he recommended since then? Then what did we watch? Or did you say like, okay, Isaac, you're done. Somebody else. Somebody else until they lose. And then you have to vote after every movie.
Starting point is 00:26:23 Was it good or was it bad? And if it was bad, then you move on. You relegate to the next person i think i yeah i made the comment i was like okay isaac you're one for two now yeah and then the next night we were deciding he's like i don't want to choose i feel bad about last night like someone else choose and then i think it was like a group decision what did we watch oh we watched uh it's a movie about hannibal lecter uh what do you think it's called i can't remember it silence of the lambs not that one okay dang it what is it called there's a lot of them i know there's so many i would never never never would i ever even say yes to that i would just be like
Starting point is 00:26:54 you guys can watch that i'm gonna go in my room i don't want to watch any movie about hannibal lecter red dragon is what it's called i've heard that one it was uh that was a harrison recommendation uh i think we all i think it was mainly me and isaac really called i've heard that one it was uh that was a harrison recommendation uh i think we all i think it was mainly me and isaac really yeah i think harrison was just in his room playing the piano no i don't know what he's doing but um whatever no more movies it was it was a that one was decent no more movies no more movies uh i saw something fun this week brad because i was allowed to leave my house i met chipotle mexican grill yeah huge flex uh chipotle and i'm kind of like not eavesdropping you just can't help but hear the guy next to you
Starting point is 00:27:31 kind of order i've already ordered so i'm to the left of him and i thought i heard him say grilled cheese but i was like okay i must have heard wrong and i wasn't really paying attention so i'm just doing my own thing i'm like paying and i'm like he must have just said like shredded cheese or calling the queso cheese and then i hear him what sounds like he says soup next i'm like what okay that really sounded like soup grilled cheese and soup okay and this woman's like i'm sorry sir we we don't sell that either and he's like i mean my wife told me what to get and it says grilled cheese and soup. And, uh, she's like, sorry, I'm sorry to tell you,
Starting point is 00:28:06 we don't have any of those things. Like, where do you think you are right now? And he goes, this isn't Panera bread. I was just about to say that. I was like, yeah,
Starting point is 00:28:13 this is Panera bread. No, that happened right next to me a few nights ago. It was awesome. Tell me, let's, let's profile this guy a little bit. What does he look like?
Starting point is 00:28:22 How old is he? Tell me more about him. Uh, he got overalls on his profile is, mean he's wearing a mask so it's hard to tell his age like he's never been to chipotle i don't know surgeons met like basic like light blue mask um like kind of farmer's hat on african-american okay skin okay uh i think blue jeans he's never been to panera or chipotle like i guess not yeah but it was awesome like i was like laughing like pretty good oh my god this is incredible so what did she say she's like she's like yeah this is chipotle panera is like over there or
Starting point is 00:28:57 something he's like ah man so he didn't even like that he didn't order he just left like and what was funny and this is the part i wish i'd paid attention from the beginning like he already had stuff in his burrito bowl like there was like oh shoot like so she was like i'm good with this place this place looks great thank you for recommending panera bread there's not much bread here so i don't really know why they call it that well i just don't understand how like he was reading off of a list like what his wife told him to order and he had somehow gotten chicken and beans in a burrito bowl. And then once he got to the grilled cheese and soup, he's like, oh, this isn't Panera. Like, how did that happen? How did you do that?
Starting point is 00:29:31 I love that. I love that. Like, yeah, you get so far into a restaurant at this point. Like, you have to walk in the doors that say that not only say it on the top, like in a huge sign, but then on the door, I'm sure it says Chipotle, ours, you know, whatever. And then you walk through and there's a menu that has all these things on the menu grilled cheese or bread they're very minimal it's burrito uh no it's burrito burrito bowl fajitas maybe quesadilla says on there i don't know salad yeah it was awesome it's like maybe this quesadilla is like they're that's like just what they call like mexicans call grilled cheese so i don't know like look i don't speak their
Starting point is 00:30:08 language all right i don't get it yeah i'll take some cheese in between two tortillas i guess that's what she's wanting if you're gonna grill it sure that's what my wife wants so funny so he leaves he's just like oh man just like walks out and they just like throw his like burrito away did you play along did you were you like all right and i'll take an awesome blossom to go molten lava cake do you guys have a one steak sauce here i need to bring that where i get that from uh but i asked i was like how often does that happen and the woman goes oh once a shift what once a shift i was gonna ask if that ever happened before no once a shift that they leave or once a shift that like once a shift that she's there but but like did you specify what just happened to her like like is it like somebody like halfway orders and they're
Starting point is 00:30:50 like ah never mind i gotta leave i don't have money or something that might i would believe that's once a shift once a shift that somebody's in the wrong restaurant oh that's definitely what she meant no yeah that's crazy we need to do some if you're out there and you go to chipotle say hey random question. I listen to this podcast. I'm just curious. Is this true in your line of work, in your Chipotle experience? Once a shift, do people like leave the store because they're in the wrong place?
Starting point is 00:31:16 And this may be now that I'm thinking of it. Maybe this doesn't happen that often other places because this is a like 101st and state line. I think they're right next to each other. Oh, I was thinking you were the one on Johnson Drive but closer to your house. Sorry that I'm telling people. That's okay. Yeah. They can find me at Chipotle. Just don't come to my house. There you go.
Starting point is 00:31:32 But yes, they're right next to each other. Yeah. But still, they have letters in English of what business you're walking into. You should be able to know which one you're at. And how rare is it that somebody's never been to a Chipotle or a Panera Bread and is choosing to go to that place? I'm not saying every single person in the world has been to Chipotle.
Starting point is 00:31:48 I understand that. But yeah, the clientele is pretty similar to both those places, I would assume. Anyway, that's too good. So it's awesome. Whenever you get to leave your house. This isn't a Panera Bread. Oh my gosh. I can't wait to go to Panera and be like, yeah, I'll take a chicken bowl.
Starting point is 00:32:03 You guys still have sofritas? Are you doing that still? Sofritas? No, no one liked them. You can have a bacon turkey bravo. I'm not happy with Panera. Ever since, like, right when the pandemic hit, they took away my order,
Starting point is 00:32:18 which has been so long, I didn't even get it. Chicken tortellini. They took it off the menu and they said, we have a limited menu. You're the only person I know that gets pasta at Panera. And then, like, July rolls around and they've got a new menu and then it's just not there anymore so i've been there it's like we're done with that like since the spring i'm so mad at them i wonder how much better their pasta is than the pasta you could make at your house okay it was probably good that um okay i just don't know uh did you see like there was like a tiktok thing going around for a while like where they showed how to make their mac and cheese or how they made it?
Starting point is 00:32:46 Oh, really? And it's like they just took this bag and like boiled it basically and then gave it to you. Boil bag. Boil bag. So you could do that. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:54 It's probably good that they shut down because now I'm thinking about it. My order was like $13 at Panera. I need to stop. I need to stop doing this. Panera is, I think Chipotle is the best value that you can get. Panera is the worst. Yeah. It's good food.
Starting point is 00:33:09 Don't get me wrong. It's really really good but it's like so expensive like there's times where like katherine i order with hattie and they'll be like all right that'll be you know 38 and i'm like yeah what am i paying for real plates real forks yeah i'll use plastic forks i got i got a you pick too i only got half a sandwich for 38 with thisaked potato bowl. Yeah. I don't know what we're paying for there. Is it the broth? Broth's expensive. It's brothy. Yeah. I've been trying to make my own broth.
Starting point is 00:33:32 Good for you. Yeah. Catherine makes her own broth. Good. Actually, it's called bone broth. I was going to ask about bone broth. Bone broth. Because there's a lot of inappropriate jokes I want to make with bone broth, but I'm not
Starting point is 00:33:40 going to. I've been drinking lots of bone broth because I can't taste it. It tastes disgusting, but it's really good for you. Uh, yeah, you can, you can buy it at the store, but you can also make it. And you literally like take a chicken that you've like had, like a rotisserie chicken. You, you, whatever you eat it. And then you take all the bones and you literally just like stew them up. Like you just heat it up with some, I don't know if it's water or I'm sure she puts salt in it or something. Yeah. And then you just heat it up with some just do them i don't know if it's water or i'm sure she puts salt in it or something yeah and then you just drain out the bones and it's like really good nutrients or something okay i don't know honestly like i i have given katherine a lot of
Starting point is 00:34:14 hard time for some of the health stuff she does but recently with the covid stuff she's been pumping me with vitamins and i've been feeling much better dude pumping. Pumping me. A, C, D, B6, B12, zinc, elderberry. I thought you were on rhyme scheme for a little bit. I was like, no, A, B, C, B. I told you what I like. Sorry. That's why I was saying last week, I want to marry a nutritionist. It'd be so awesome if someone just does this for me.
Starting point is 00:34:36 Like here, here's a vitamin you take once every six weeks. Yeah. How about once every eight weeks? Too big. No, but you can't swallow anyway, so you're going to chew yours. Hey, I got, I don't even know. I had a breakthrough. This is like a year ago. You swallowed? I was swallowing. Good for you. Thanks. I forgot to tell everyone. That's awesome. I did it. Okay. So now you're, are you consistent swallow or are you like, do you try to avoid it when, when you can? Oh, I don't think I've had to swallow a pill in 12 months. Really?
Starting point is 00:35:00 So you get, do you ever take ibuprofen? Do have like chewable no i don't really take it okay i just i look i grab a mirror i look i look at my forehead and i say stop having a headache yeah you're stronger than the headache you're the brain take the make it go away leave yeah good you don't need nutritionist for that that's what i'm saying i just need it to like eat okay you need someone to feed me.

Starting point is 00:37:55 You know, like, um, goosebumps, uh, really good at those. Uh, big chigger bite.
Starting point is 00:38:00 Sure. Yeah. Big C bite. Yeah. Yep. And, uh, when you bunch of sour stuff and then like the back corners
Starting point is 00:38:05 of your tongue get kind of swollen yeah that's fine love like uh when katherine like showers and then she doesn't dry her hair off completely and i just run my hands through it and i just get stuck in her hair i love that feeling or like in the winter time you like take off i know exactly what you're gonna say yeah a hoodie and then a shirt and the lights are off and you see the sparks fly yes oh cool texture great texture and you kind of feel it you're like whoa whoa electricity i actually don't like that texture no that's that's kind of scary yeah like how'd that come there so powerful seriously um anyway but christmas actually so christmas eve was fun we actually had people over to my house like my sister and her family and my parents which is great coincidentally my
Starting point is 00:38:43 parents are quarantining now because they both tested positive. I don't know how. But had them over for Christmas Eve and that was really fun. I feel like there was a lot of people, like I broke the news to I think Harrison and Scott and maybe even Isaac that you had COVID and all three of them.
Starting point is 00:39:00 Yeah, I'd seen them. Yeah, like I told them each individually and they all had the same response. Dang it, I just saw Brad. Like all of them had just hung out with you. Like individually. Why did you see all of them yeah i'd seen them yeah like i told them each individually and all the same response dang i just saw brad like all of them had like just hung out with you yeah individually why did you see all of them uh scott i saw like that week because i made a sign ellis custom gifts um for his wife okay uh she has a business so i made a sign he came over had lunch that was probably december 23rd so that was probably pre-co and then i think uh christmas eve morning isaac came over also pre-co um and he had to borrow a tool and then christmas day harrison did come over that might have been
Starting point is 00:39:33 current co i don't know it was just so funny that each one of them had the same response it was like dang it i was just with him i know and i was like i need to tell harrison but i need to wait till i'm positive which maybe that was not the right call. Maybe I should have been like, just in case. I don't know. Hey, I think the positive of this is to be thankful that we get to see our friends a lot. That's right.
Starting point is 00:39:53 Seriously. It's cool. We get to see your friends. We do. Some people live far away from their friends. Yeah. And then you and I have the same friends and we see them all the time, apparently. And yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:01 Yeah. Sometimes you're within, you're like borderline within six feet of your friends right now. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. Yeah. Scott. I think Scott textedott texted me he said heard you got roan boned i'm like yep sure that's what the test said that's positive for the roan bone so that's exactly what it said i uh i went home for christmas and i think the day after christmas back in strafford it's like 50 degrees so you know what that means going out to the driveway yeah playing some pickle ball with uncle john driveway pickle and uh it was to the driveway. Yeah, playing some pickleball with Uncle John.
Starting point is 00:40:25 Driveway pickle. And it was fun just because I played a lot of pickleball since last year. Right. Was that the last time? Did you play on Christmas last time or was it Thanksgiving? Last year was, yeah, Christmas when I played with him. And, you know, my dad and uncle are talking a big game. Well, let's just see when you get to court one.
Starting point is 00:40:44 They have two courts depending on where the sun is that they play. Like two different directions the driveway is going. Yeah, great. Depending on the sun setting and the solstice. And like, well, once you get to court one, we'll see about that. Yeah. Well, they weren't joking because what they play is barely even pickleball. We get ready to play and like, so just FYI, like we don't play with any rules.
Starting point is 00:41:04 No rules. Okay, yeah. So it's not pickleball. it's just a pickleball and a pickleball paddle and what's also fun and surprising is there's actually still quite a few rules and no rules pickleball like there's one part of the driveway where this dead tree is kind of hanging well dead because it's winter but like this tree is hanging over the driveway if it's clearly going out but it hits off of a branch and it lands back in sorry oh i love, I love that. I love that. Play the environment.
Starting point is 00:41:28 Didn't know that rule. And no rules pickleball. Play off the wall. Yeah. There's a lot of little rules like that that you would never know because they said there was no rules. But you don't have to let,
Starting point is 00:41:37 there's no kitchen. So you can be at the net whenever you want. You don't have to let the serve bounce. You can just be right in the middle and just try to serve bounce. You don't have to let the return of serve bounce. be right in the middle and just try to serve out you don't have to let the return of serve bounce like it's not even pickleball that's tennis you're you're not even tennis it's just like badminton almost it's like street street
Starting point is 00:41:53 rules badminton tennis something yeah but it was it was still really fun i mean we played for hours and hours and it was it was a good time but yeah there's if anyone who has played pickleball came and watched this play you would not say what we were doing was pickleball yeah you'd be like that's some yeah some some some people that just got a pickleball set for their christmas present let's go play without really learning how to play no one's told them how yeah poor kids yeah but it was fun um speaking of pickleball that just reminded me one of my friends uh luke i was texting him trying to get him to play pickleball with his few days ago. And he's like, oh, I'm actually still in Arizona.
Starting point is 00:42:27 I've actually been playing pickleball down here, though. There's a group of people my parents age. They're all like 60 plus, but they've been showing me the 50 states. That's the thing. What does that mean? They've been Wyoming, Wisconsin, West Virginia, not just W's either. I'm serious. Kentucky, Oregon. Get this, Brad. They went Puerto Rico one time. No, they didn't. west virginia not just w's either i'm serious uh kentucky uh oregon get this brad they went
Starting point is 00:42:47 puerto rico one time no they didn't they did puerto rico 56 plus territories plus golly usvi my gosh they went there goodness gracious i never heard that phrase and i didn't say anything to him because we were just texting i was just like whatever i'll just well he's a new listener of the pod so oh yeah luke if you're listening, uh, what did that mean? I don't know. Yeah. I think Luke is listening. I know.
Starting point is 00:43:10 No, he posted on his story about it last week. What? Yeah. I didn't see that on the golf course. Listen to ghost rush podcast. I didn't see that. Yeah. I was like, thanks man.
Starting point is 00:43:18 I know his girlfriend's mom has bought merch from us. Yeah. So I know we got that going. She's great. She'll show you the 50 slides. Yeah. Oh yeah. Kansas. Uh, but yeah yeah i guess that phrase just means they they took it to me yeah it i'm assuming never heard of school maybe they took them to uh they taught them taught them taught them the 50 states
Starting point is 00:43:36 they took me in elementary school they went to third grade on me they third graded me all over that court uh that's pretty fun though yeah it seemed like a phrase from like the the guy from the soap pitch softball league i want to i want to get more into phrases that people don't really know these days but that like were popular in in the 50s i'm gonna google or 70s or whatever uncommon idioms great or maybe it's just even like these are awesome maybe there's even like just like regional things that i don't know about i mean these sound like southern southern things seem great to me the first one i saw that made me laugh like that are you still riding the goat riding the goat okay that
Starting point is 00:44:14 means that means i have no idea still dating that girl no that's inappropriate that means you're still on the Chicago Bulls. You still on your honeymoon? Yeah. Riding the goat. You're still. Okay. Let me see.

Starting point is 00:45:50 technical uh yeah stop ironing my head let me find the order oh the origin of this one is uh looks like northern european uh oh this is the czech equivalent of blank blank blank blank that is good it's a czech equivalent of a phrase we know and it is walk around in hot porridge oh that's that's the czech equivalent of uh something in hot water you're in deep water oh the good guess beat around the bush oh walk around in hot porridge hey just tell me dude stop walking around in hot porridge that's way too long that's way too many syllables beat around the bush says nice so fast around the bush around the bush So I'm walking around a hot porch
Starting point is 00:46:30 That is way too itty like you're going way too back and forth. Oh, you want a quick phrase? How about this one? Hey? Stop a meeting Stop emitting smoke from seven orifices That's a quick one This is Chinese. That sounds like you're blowing smoke stop emitting smoke from seven orifices. That's a quick one. This is Chinese. That sounds like you're blowing smoke. Stop emitting smoke from seven orifices. There's no way that the Chinese say that like that. They probably have their own way of saying it in Chinese.
Starting point is 00:46:53 Probably. That's my guess. That's good. It means to be extremely angry. Like when you got like steam coming out of your ears. Yeah. Okay. I can see somebody emitting smoke from seven orifices.
Starting point is 00:47:05 And being Chinese. And being Chinese. And being Chinese while they're doing it. Oh, let me find the origin first. French. This is French. French Canadian or French? I don't know. Or Haitian?
Starting point is 00:47:17 I'm sorry. Okay. I doubt it's Haitian. Okay, good. I think just purebred French. Purebred. Hey, I've got other cats to whip. You gotta say it like a Frenchman. Oui, oui. Hey, I've got other cats to whip. You got to say it like a Frenchman.
Starting point is 00:47:26 Oui, oui. Hey, Brad, I have other cats to weep. Is that good? I have other cats to weep. I don't know. I don't know if that's good either. I have other cats to weep. Hey, monsieur.
Starting point is 00:47:37 Monsieur. No, that's how you do it. You got to do it a little more like staccato. Hey, monsieur. I have other cats to weep. Is that good? Hey. Hey, monsieur. Monsieur. La maison est parfait. cicada hey monsieur i have other cats to whip is that good hey hey monsieur le maison is perfect but i have other cats to whip all right let me try let me try good day i've got other cats to whip oh you over there jacob i've got all the cats to whip yeah
Starting point is 00:48:01 yeah is that french i think so right oh i think so yeah hey man i've got other cats to whip yeah yeah is that french i think so right oh i think so yeah hey man i've got other cats to whip i really with these cats whip them on out of here jesus love is a bubbling over that was what they always want to sing in trinidad okay what do you think it means other cats to whip this is similar to a fish to fry yes Yes! You didn't even need the hint. Nope. That's exactly what it means. I know, I know that Frenchmen love to fry cats. They do. The documentary Don't F with Cats
Starting point is 00:48:30 on Netflix. Don't whip. French. Yeah. French guy. You love messing with cats. Don't whip with cats is how they call it.
Starting point is 00:48:37 I'm gonna just end it with this one. This is a good one because it involves wood which we love here. Uh-huh. God bless you and may your mustache
Starting point is 00:48:43 grow like brushwood. These are so lengthy. God bless you and may your mustache grow like brushwood god bless you and may your mustache grow like brushwood this is i mean this is mongolish that sounds nice mongolian like it doesn't sound like being sarcastic but it actually is i don't i don't know if you know it's probably not gonna say it on there but uh let your mustache grow like brushwood brushwood actually burns very quickly like you know like a brush and so and so they're like hey um god bless you but go ahead and burn down there under the surface that's what they're saying so i guess this is a way that the mongolians don't believe everything you read jake they they will it's like after you sneeze but you have a mustache it's like a way of blessing you and your mustache.
Starting point is 00:49:26 That sounds like I'm making it up, but I'm not. So you think like they're at like a restaurant and somebody like they're like eating over here. Hey, God bless you. Oh, excuse me. I'm sorry. God bless you. And may your mustache burn like brushwood.
Starting point is 00:49:40 Like they like. Sorry, I did not see the mustache. Sorry, I missed it. It's kind of dimly lit in here. Sorry about that. May it grow like brushwood, baby. And if you don't have a mustache what do they say i think it's a bless you may your stubble uh be burned like the chaff of the field it doesn't say that in this article but maybe maybe it says you might think bless you is a
Starting point is 00:49:58 perfectly adequate response to a sneeze but mongolians beg to differ they prefer the more comprehensive whatever they say it in their language, which wishes a fine blessing upon your mustache as well. I think that that needs to be more of a trend is that people go more extensively into God bless you. God bless you and your family. Always start with God bless you, but then go from there. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:50:17 God bless you in that Village Woodworks long sleeve cover carter's shirt. God bless you. And I hope that your Village Woodworks color cover shirt, cover color shirt does not get any pit stains. God bless you. And I hope that your village woodworks color cover shirt cover color shirt, uh, does not get any pit stains.
Starting point is 00:50:28 God bless you. And may you not forget to take your multivitamin tomorrow morning. Vitamin a vitamin D vitamin C vitamin B six by, um, I definitely like to try that. Yeah. Next time we cough or sneeze on the pod. Okay.
Starting point is 00:50:38 I expect a full blessing. Perfect. That happens all the time. I do cough a decent amount. So even pre pre-co pre pre Rona. So if I, if I, if I cough in your direction, well, I'll cough in the other direction. So do cough a decent amount. So even pre pre-co pre pre Rona. So if I, if I, if I cough in your direction, well, I'll cough in the other direction. So yeah, good. Thanks. Treat me like your doctor when you were 12, please turn your head and cough. I have to go do that.
Starting point is 00:50:55 Mom, if you want to play football, you do. Okay. Someone said football. What do you mean by cough? Just do it. I'm down here, kid. Like Tom Coughlin. What is this a football thing? What do you mean by cough? Just do it. I'm down here, kid. Like Tom Coughlin? Is this a football thing? What are you saying? He looks like he's blowing smoke from seven orifices. Remember Tom Coughlin always looked really mad. So maybe you shouldn't say that, though, whenever you've got your doctor down there. Don't talk about orifices. No.
Starting point is 00:51:19 Don't. None of them. You want me to do what from what? Just cough. It's my brushwood. I'm 12 okay okay yeah well yeah yeah yeah yeah no i'm done i'm done uh something else happened this week so let's say i think monday of this week trey and I write a video, write and shoot a video where we, it's called like phases of mask wearing.
Starting point is 00:51:50 Like, you know, at the beginning it was like, hey, moron, don't wear a mask. Like the doctors need these. Remember that stage? It was like crazy. Yeah. Like we found old tweets from like the U.S. Surgeon General that was like, stop wearing masks. They are unhelpful.
Starting point is 00:52:01 Right. Which is just amazing. You know, all different stages. And then stage five was like the new normal. And so we talked about like, you know, things that are happening now. And one of the jokes we put in there, we wanted to do a joke about the guy who like fully goes into like a grocery store and doesn't wear a mask. It's like, whoa, like the brushwood on you, you know, like holy cow.
Starting point is 00:52:22 And so we were trying to like write a joke for that. We, you know, you can't say like the, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. On you, man. And so I came up with the idea. I was like, I saw this guy in Hy-Vee the other day or whatever, no mask on, just walking around. Couldn't believe it. Only thing in his cart, two giant avocados. So that was the joke I wrote. Yeah. just like some kind of grocery yeah pun yeah felt good about it yeah and then dude i kid you not this was oh quinky dinks coming quinky dinks okay okay get it right get it right um me isaac and harrison all go grocery shopping together because we love hanging out with each other we go to hy-vee and there's a guy rolling in on his car behind us no
Starting point is 00:53:01 mask and i i get ready to tell them i'm like oh dude like guys like trey and i were just talking about this today and then i see him go straight to the avocados like go straight to him and puts him in his cart i could not believe what i saw what a quickie dick man that that guy knows it was awesome i know something i texted trey and i was like dude you're never gonna believe this like i'm in hy-vee right now there's a guy without a mask and he only has avocados in his cart. Like, how did we do that? Self-fulfilling prophecy. It was amazing. Avocados high in zinc.
Starting point is 00:53:31 If you ever run out of Zyboys, get some avocados. Really? You consume it or just rub it around? I think consume, but I haven't tried to rub it around. So it might be like topical, like an essential oil. Yeah. Yeah. Aloe vera. It's in a downline of some sort. It's in someone's downline.
Starting point is 00:53:47 But yeah, I just thought I needed to share that. Just huge. That's crazy. Coinkydink. Haven't had one of those in a while. Like literally like the punchline came to life. He, yeah. Oh, it was awesome.
Starting point is 00:53:55 Like you are the walking punchline. That's crazy. And he didn't buy anything else except for two melons. Cucumber. Just kind of complete the set yep that was it good for him um wow yeah that was awesome that was one of the highlights of my week there's two huge avocados did did isaac and harrison like like was one of those things that was like oh that's pretty crazy jake but they weren't like nearly as hyped as you because i feel like that's one of those things
Starting point is 00:54:19 where like you don't understand how crazy it is unless you've truly like like no you don't understand this is exactly the joke I made. Like exactly a hundred percent earlier today, like the same exact food. Like it doesn't even have to like, like, yeah, it wasn't even like the same situation.
Starting point is 00:54:31 Kind of. It was, I don't even think I really tried to fully tell it. Cause like, as I was trying to like, Oh, this is crazy. This guy,
Starting point is 00:54:37 you know, I'm trying to whisper. And then as I see it happening, I'm like, no way. I'm just so excited to text it. Trey is super cool. That's nuts.
Starting point is 00:54:44 Um, I love it. I'm trying to think the text you, Trey. It's super cool. That's nuts. I love it. I'm trying to think. The only other thing I wanted to mention was Ghostie out there, Jocelyn. I think it was like Christmas Day, maybe Christmas Eve. She put on her story and tagged us. She was leading worship. Oh, yes.
Starting point is 00:54:56 It was awesome. That was awesome. On Christmas Eve, yeah. We've ever been tagged in. She was like the worship leader of her church. Yeah. Welcome. Merry Christmas. Get on your feet like let's start our worship time yeah like the instruments were like playing like they're about to sing a song everyone let's we're gonna have a great worship
Starting point is 00:55:14 session and we're going get on your feet i want to know how much of that was for us or how much of that is like that's just what she naturally said in that moment and then she's like i gotta tell them. Yeah. Ghost of the week. Jocelyn. A hundred percent. It was great. We need to have a lot of honorary ghosties of the week though for the patrons.
Starting point is 00:55:30 The patrons. Yeah. Yeah. We've been loving just how many new patrons we've got recently and also been loving how helpful you guys are to us. It's two way street, baby. And it's, guess what? It's a stroll down that street.
Starting point is 00:55:42 It's a stroll down. It's a stroll down the street. And we all got sundresses on all of them all of us so if you want to see pictures of jake and i in sunglasses patreon you know i think baxter will meme it for us probably i have some pictures somewhere of me cross-dressing it may not be a sundress but i'll give you something we've seen it baby i'll find something yeah but uh last week's episode the big recap episode it was just a lot of uh an undertaking for us to come up with all these different um segments and uh i sought the patrons help and they were really
Starting point is 00:56:11 helpful so thank you and also shout out justin our editor justin threw it together and uh did a great job editing last week's episode it was a doozy two and a half hours and pulling from like 40 different episodes probably. Yeah. Maybe. That was really fun to reflect on though. And people had really nice things to say about the episode too, which was cool. Yeah. People enjoyed it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:56:31 So shout out to all you guys. I have something to say. Go ahead. I have two things actually. Go ahead. One of them was an Instagram message from Ginny Rutan. Okay. I don't think you said you saw.
Starting point is 00:56:39 Ginny Rutan, a famous DMer of us, or a jingle writer at one point okay which one she wrote but she wrote a good one oh crap i just lost it here it is um so she's a physical therapist she said you guys made me a jerk first of all don't don't start a message like that unless you're gonna follow it up nicely uh i work as a physical therapist assistant and one of my patients is from saudi arabia saudi arabia oh know. I don't like where this is going. But she said that I was like, crap. What did you say?
Starting point is 00:57:08 She didn't. She didn't go there. It's not about what I said. Nope. Luckily, she said, I asked him today how a new exercise felt. And he said, not bad. Without thinking, I immediately said, not bad with an accent, just like Brad. So it sounded like I was just making fun of him.
Starting point is 00:57:26 I tried to make it better by quickly saying pretty good in another weird accent but did not help awkward silence ensued good news is the end of the treatment was fine i don't think i actually offended him but you guys are a danger to people like me who speak before they think i mean that is the perfect scenario to get caught like actually making fun of someone or like unintentionally making fun of someone not bad just assuming that they listen to this very small podcast like i like the way you said that not bad that's pretty funny it's not bad and then you just laugh because you like think about like our podcast well i bet you don't have to change the way you talk to say it's the way they do because the weird funny way you talk because you you talk like a funny person yeah yeah oh you from ohio because the middle east i bet you get that one
Starting point is 00:58:08 don't you you do don't you yeah dayton probably uh not bad oh okay sorry sir i am sorry uh let's just bury the hatchet and i think we can all agree yeah 2020 has been crazy it's been crazy it's been crazy what a wild year right plenty of ups plenty of downs what do you mean by bury the hatchet i mean i was from strafford sorry yeah no no don't worry about it uh so that was that funny little quink i guess you could say and then uh drew severance made some uh cutting boards for him i was custom gifts okay and uh i don't even know he just like screenshotted me uh this screen or this text message from his in-laws and they said hey whatever like thank you so much again for this wonderful board.
Starting point is 00:58:46 We'd love it. And at the very end, they just said to send talk at the end. Talk. I looked it up and it's Norwegian for thank you. It's another way to say it. Oh, it means like a million.
Starting point is 00:58:56 Thanks. Or many thanks or something like that. That's a million more. Let's go ahead and look it up and hear how it goes because it's a banger. Spell it for me. T U S E N space. T A K K. Like talk. Spell it for me. T-U-S-E-N space T-A-K-K. Like talk, Skalduha.
Starting point is 00:59:08 Okay. Ready? Yep. Tuzentak. Tuzentak. Hey, here we go. Say it. Tuzentak.
Starting point is 00:59:16 Say go for a walk. Go for a walk. Tuzentak. Hey, yeah. Tuzentak. Hey, yeah. Tuzentak. What?
Starting point is 00:59:24 What? Tuzentak. Say it one more time. T hey oh man i saw that i was like that's such a small world that you know we already like talk about drew some and you know whatever 615 for a tin stack and whatever all this different stuff and then just we've talked about tax call do hard they say do some. And so apparently, they've got some Norwegian heritage to them. Huh. Yeah. In-laws.
Starting point is 00:59:49 The Nor- Nor- Nor- Nor- Nor- Norwegianese, I think is what they are. Nor-Swegian. Nor-Swegian.
Starting point is 00:59:55 Should we get some voice memos, Brad? Doosan Tak, voice memos. Doosan- Yeah. Let's do it. This one's from Katie Klein. Hi, Jake and Brad.
Starting point is 01:00:04 This is Katie from West Pennsylvania. About 16 miles. Go back, go back, go back. I think she was trying to be like you and she barked right there. What? That caught me so off guard. What did... That was a good bark.
Starting point is 01:00:18 That was a very good bark. I hope that was intentional. Was that even... Was that her? Are we sure? I don't know. Could have been a timely dog. Hi, Jake and Brad.
Starting point is 01:00:24 This is Katie from Western oh, I caught it now she was saying rule But but why was saying why why does that make her bark before? Yeah, yeah, that's how I say like rural Oh rural different kind of bark. What are you trying to say when you're saying that? Rural. Rural. That's pretty good, huh? B minus? No.
Starting point is 01:00:49 Rural. That is not a B minus. That's a B minus like freshman year. Say it. Say it. Rural. Okay. Rural.
Starting point is 01:00:56 Rural. That's better. Okay. You were going way too Roo. Not enough Roo. Roo. I love Hunger Games. What can I say?
Starting point is 01:01:03 This is Katie from Rural. Western Texas. Okay. Now I know. I got it. Rural. Rural. Not enough Rue. Rue. I love Hunger Games. What can I say? This is Katie from Rue, Rue. Western Texas. Okay, now I know. So, Alice, East of Pittsburgh. So, go Steelers. Okay. I do have a lot of extended family in Missouri. Pause it. Pause it. Chiefs fans. We don't need Missouri people in here. No, I'm just kidding. Go Steelers?
Starting point is 01:01:19 No, go Chiefs, too. Okay, okay. My question's about Just Drinks. My friends and I have always thought that soda from a can slaps different. So I'm wondering if Just Drinks will only offer fountain beverages or would you consider selling cans and bottles as well? Oh. I really think it could help you pull a five or under for a 15 stack if you would. Love the pod, guys.
Starting point is 01:01:39 Bye-bye. That. Okay. What do you think? First of all, thank you for your voice, Mimo. Yeah. Thank you, Katie. I think a lot of things at once right now i do too yeah uh one i love the idea of like
Starting point is 01:01:50 just strings becoming a real thing and it's like very ghost runners themed like we have cans for sale on the sign to say let's be honest they slap different yeah and uh so that's one thought the second thought is like that is a good idea cans would go so fast but how much can you charge for a can a dollar okay first all, the slap different thing, it'd be fun to have a tradition, like every time you got it, like if you're a true fan, you have to hit it against your face, and you say thank you, and very lightly hit it against your face. It slaps different.
Starting point is 01:02:14 Slaps a little different. Yes, the second thing, keep talking about that. Just, it's the same reason why you don't necessarily want to start an arcade, because you make 25 cents at a time. So from a business standpoint, I'm like, yeah, we can, we can knock some sales out fast with cans, but you don't, you could charge way more for a fountain drink. Let's go for the arcade scenario or the comparison a little bit more. Uh, if I go to an arcade, I'm much more likely to play a game. I'm trying to think of a good example. Like, um, like the connect for basketball game,
Starting point is 01:02:41 best game. There is really, really fun. I can't play that at home. But if I go to the arcade and there's NFL Blitz, I'm like, why am I spending money on this? I know exactly how much I can buy this for at home. Same thing with the can. Like cans feel a lot more quantifiable to me. It's like, no, I know that I can get a 12 pack of those for this much money at my local grocery store. Like there's something about like this,
Starting point is 01:03:03 like you can quantify it too easily. Kind of like a bowl of cereal. Like we've talked about having a cereal bar, but it's like you got to have some kind of other allure than just the bowl of cereal because you know exactly how much a box of cereal costs. Yes. It has to be more than just a can.
Starting point is 01:03:16 Like there's a ribbon tied around the can that like holds something in it. Yeah. I don't know what. Now we're talking. Like a vanilla flavored straw. There we go. That's see, that's different. Now we're talking. Like a vanilla flavored straw. There we go. That's see, that's different.
Starting point is 01:03:26 Now we're talking. And that slaps different. Yes. Thanks a lot. No, because yeah, there's something. And let's be honest, like almost all of the food service is like, yeah, I could probably make this at home for way cheaper, but it's convenient. But the cans just feel a little different.
Starting point is 01:03:40 But I will say that Catherine thinks that Dr. Pepper from a can is like the best version of Dr. Pepper, like a cold can. I just bought the same night i saw avocado guy i they didn't have like any gatorade or anything because i'm not really a big soda guy but guess what i saw dr pepper and cream soda in one can so about a 12 pack of those did you like them they are not as bad as you think they would be but they just taste slightly worse than a dark pepper yeah i was gonna like slightly different i'll drink it. I had those this summer and they were fine. Really?
Starting point is 01:04:07 Yeah. Like the aftertaste is just Dr. Pepper and the during taste is just like, this is a little different, but it's still good. Like I'm still going to drink. I really like cream soda. You do too. So I thought it was like, this is going to be great. It's fine.
Starting point is 01:04:19 But anyway. So yeah, we need something a little different than just cans, I think. Yeah. You can't literally. Because our business name is not just cans. It's not. It's just drinks. Do you ever go to a place like McLean's, for instance, this local coffee shop that also
Starting point is 01:04:31 sells food? You can buy fountain soda there, but it's only in a can and it's like $1.50. And I'm like, why would I spend $1.50 on this thing? Yeah. Like, yeah, I just can't. You can't justify it. Maybe the cans all come with a joke. Now we're talking. Talk. joke. Now we're talking.
Starting point is 01:04:45 Talk. Talk. Now we're talking. Maybe it's like a, dang it, I had something. What was it? Like a themed, I don't know, some sort of themed joke or something. Like every day. Yeah, I like it.
Starting point is 01:05:00 Like every day is a different kind of theme. Like a fortune cookie or something. Like you just know you're going to get one of these with it. I like it. This doesn't do a lot for me, but it's kind of fun. Yeah. Yeah. And it's inside the can. Don't swallow it.
Starting point is 01:05:11 Oh, it's inside the can. So you have to really annoying. And that's the thing around the ring. No, it like decodes it. Once you're done drinking it, you can look like it's like this tool that helps you like magnify. Kind of like those old school kaleidoscopes. You know how you like turn it and have all these different things like those toys it's like that but down in there you look in there and there's the joke for some reason that just reminded me have you seen uh
Starting point is 01:05:32 david doberk's puzzle thing that he's doing pretty genius he's like selling puzzles that you can do you know while you're at home with your family whatever do a puzzle the puzzle is a unique qr code so it's very hard to solve you don't even know miserable yeah like what you're trying to solve necessarily or maybe you do have a no i guess you wouldn't because then you can't scan that yeah yeah so you don't even know what you're solving you're just trying to figure it out it takes forever but when you do the qr code gives you money so everyone is a winner you don't win that much but there's like i think the grand prize is a hundred thousand dollars so you win
Starting point is 01:06:05 different amounts of money like some people win five dollars some people win a lot yeah that's pretty cool it's a genius idea yeah and i heard him on his podcast recently saying it's been out for like a month and no one's claimed a hundred thousand dollar prize yet and they can't just like something with like the sweepstakes or whatever like they can't just do a new competition like they can't do anything until someone claims it so on his podcast he's like please please solve the puzzle guys oh wow i wonder why you can't just keep like do another version of it or something yeah i don't know interesting but i'm always wondering about that like because surely not every single person like remember back in the day like sprite used to have like go online and enter in this code it's like no like it took forever to get online back in the
Starting point is 01:06:42 day it's like i'm not going to enter in this code to not win anything. But somebody out there got the million dollar code. How many million dollar codes do they give out? Only one? Because if they give out only one, then people aren't probably going to claim it. But if they give out too many, then they're in trouble if too many people claim it.
Starting point is 01:06:58 Life hack for you guys. Life tip, not a hack. If you see like an influencer doing some sort of like, I don't know, competition, you should probably enter it. There's probably not that many other people entering it and when i first started working with jug and josh he did a brand deal with oreo and it was like uh here's my oreo castle uh you can win a bunch of you know oreos yourself and fifty thousand dollars by entering this thing with my unique code he found out that like nine people entered it.
Starting point is 01:07:25 He's like, I would have rather taken my chances in a one in nine shot and earn like way more than I got off the brand deal. Yeah. So. But wait, of those nine people, somebody won 50 grand. Yeah. Like it was only his people that were like in it for 50 grand. That's what he said. That's one of the first things I remember.
Starting point is 01:07:42 Like right when I started working with him, he just got done with that Oreo deal. I'm going to refollow him. Holy cow. That's what he said. That's one of the first things I remember. Like right when I started working with him, he just got done with that Oreo deal. I'm going to refollow him. Holy cow. That's nuts. Oh, my gosh. Yeah. So like they somebody made more money than he did. Yeah, exactly.
Starting point is 01:07:54 That's wild. It's a unique example. But still, like less people are entering competitions than you think. Yeah. That's over 10 percent chance to win 50 grand. It's 11.1. That's right. Toxic. I'll do. All right. like that's it thanks for the voice memo katie yeah next up grace hi jake and brad this is grace from nashville tennessee um i actually was at trey and jake's live stream what was his name i'm here in
Starting point is 01:08:22 town so i wanted to first start by apologizing for not laughing loud enough hey who's the mask um i am also i left a review a few i guess a couple months ago about quitting my job and i did want to say that yes i did quit my job but i actually had two jobs and when jake said quit your job i realized how much much I hated one of my jobs. And good news, the other job that I had was part-time and now it is full-time. So I ended up working out for the best. So my question for you both is, have you ever had a job that you hated? Thanks so much.
Starting point is 01:09:01 Bye-bye. Grace, thanks for coming to the show. That's pretty cool. And congrats on quitting your job. Grace, thanks for coming to the show. That's pretty cool. And congrats on quitting your job. Yeah, both those things. Have you ever had a job you hated? I think I've only had one. This was in high school.
Starting point is 01:09:14 Because yeah, for the most part, all my jobs have been great. I've been very thankful and blessed with the jobs I've had. But I was already working for the Springfield Cardinals, being a statistician. And then my dad knew a guy who was an agent for like professional baseball players and he had like a firm like an agency and they were hiring I guess maybe this was like an internship I don't know I was like 17 but they were hiring so I was like sweet like I'm already working for the Cardinals like now I could be in this like sports agency like this could be awesome. And they just had me do data entry all day long.
Starting point is 01:09:46 Oh, it sucked. I was like 17. Yeah. Just like, why am I doing this? I'd be hanging out with my friends. I don't need money this bad. Like, why am I doing any of this? It was just like, take this prospects information and put it in our database. Yeah. And it was like algorithms or something. I remember one of the only things I do remember was one, just how much I didn't like it, how much I would daydream about doing other things and then to I Would try to I don't know if there's a zip code of the area code
Starting point is 01:10:11 But I would try to play games with myself to make it fun I would try to memorize area codes from where people were hmm, and he knows I'd see really hard to do Yeah, Buckhead, Georgia like okay. I know this there was a prospect last week from there What was his which is crazy probably like five area codes in Buckhead. Yeah, maybe. Yeah. So wow. It was, uh, yeah, that was, it was even start with, you know, like that. Yeah. I don't know if it's area codes or zip codes, but that was how I tried to make it fun for myself to just memorize those. That's good. It was not great. Other than that though, I've been, it's been great ever since. Have I ever, I don't know if I've talked about this. I had an internship quote unquote in high school. I said it was an
Starting point is 01:10:48 internship because it was like hooked up through the school and I thought it was going to be the best thing ever because it was $12 an hour and $12 in an hour hour in high school was like good money. I was like, Holy cow, I'm doing this internship. Yeah. And it was literally like this one woman who owned her own business and I was interested in entrepreneurship myself. And so I was like, great. I'll love to learn from this lady. Oh, this does kind of sound weird. Yeah. She was, I could talk about her for a long time. She was really weird, but literally it was just her and her house. And it was like, she had like this little office, kind of like what you would have here. It was like this little
Starting point is 01:11:19 office. And I just had a computer there and I had no idea what I was supposed to do all day. Like, and she was like so bad at telling me anything. And so, yeah, after doing that job and I did it for a semester, I think maybe a year I should find, I had her write me a recommendation letter and it was like the worst recommendation letter. It was like literally a letter, like rather than like, you know, people these days, like you don't write an actual letter to somebody. You like write it to the perspective, like a employer, you know, you're like, this person is great.
Starting point is 01:11:48 She literally like wrote me a letter just like to you. Yes. She was, she was an odd lady in so many ways. And like, she called my parents a few times, like and left messages for different things. And she was really odd. Then she always like, anytime she called me, let's say like we we've been working together for five months, she would always call me and tell me her full name every single time she called me. Like she wouldn't, she would be like, Hey, this is Brad Ellis. You know, she would say it every, like, like I know who you are. I don't like that. Yeah. I have your, like your caller ID anyway. Um, so she was odd, but that, that was like the first job that made me realize like, okay, money obviously helps crappy jobs, but it, the, the two to three hours that I would work there went by so slow. And then I got a job being a bank teller and I was making like, I think it
Starting point is 01:12:35 was $10 an hour, which is still a lot for finance. Let's just say I worked in finance. That's right. And, uh, I worked so many more hours, but it was so much more fun. And it was like the time went by so much quicker. So it was like the time went by so much quicker. So it's a good lesson to learn. Okay. Yeah. It was like, obviously I'm still doing all right. I'm making enough, you know, you have to make enough money to support whatever you need to do in life. But like, yeah, there's definitely, you know, a balance of like, don't just make all this money doing painstakingly terrible work. Yeah, definitely. And I wouldn't say that I'm an advocate for getting a bad job,
Starting point is 01:13:04 but I think there's a lot of positives to like being consumed and wrapped up in something that you don't want to be at because that's when you find out what you really want to do yeah like sometimes when people that i talk to are maybe like lacking passion or like a um drive or determination or like they don't even know where they want to go it's like think back to when you had like a crappy job or you're in like a tough situation like what were you daydreaming about like where did you want to be because that's in college like just sitting in class most of the time i was like i don't want to be here and i would just like that's when i started like writing comedy i would like i wrote like a stand-up special that's when i like
Starting point is 01:13:37 started these parody twitter accounts that's when i dreamed about doing kind of what i'm doing now you know when i'm sitting in these places like i do not want to be here that's when you find out who you really are and like what you want to be doing. So make the most of it. There you go. Look in the mirror. You don't have one look inwardly. There you go. Uh, thank you. Uh, Grace. Yeah. The Grace was her name. Grace. Grace. Grace. Grace. Hi, Jake and Brad. My name is Jalene. I'm a long time listener. First time caller. Uh, I just wanted to say that I absolutely love your podcast. I love the banter and the dynamic between you two. It's absolutely hilarious and it makes me laugh so much. So thank you guys for bringing that little bit of joy in 2020. I have a lot to say, but not a lot of time to say it. So I'll get straight to the point. Jake, I wanted to reach out for a while because you keep mentioning that you want a Middle Eastern girl. And I'm, in fact, Middle Eastern. I was born in Syria. I'm Syrian Lebanese.
Starting point is 01:14:29 I grew up in the States, so I'm pre-Americanized. Sweet spot. I wanted to reach out for a while, but it sounds like there's a lot of girls that hit you up in the DM. So I wasn't trying to add to that list. But this previous episode, you mentioned you wanted a nutritionist. And I am a clinical nutritionist. Let's go! So I thought maybe that was my sign to shoot my shot.
Starting point is 01:14:44 So, Jake, I will send you a DM. You can scroll through, try to find my name. And if you want to stalk my social media, feel things out and hit me up, the ball is in your pickle court. So I look forward to hearing from you. Bye-bye. All right. We're going to go and end this episode now. I gotta go, man. Is she Syria? She's serial. I think she's Syria about all this. Wow. Holy cow. You okay, buddy? Yeah, is it?
Starting point is 01:15:11 You need to shed a layer? Yeah. My goodness. Okay. Did she ask a question? I don't think she did. I couldn't. I think she kind of proposed a question, but didn't really ask one.
Starting point is 01:15:23 Wow. Okay. Okay. Wow. Um, okay. Okay, cool. Uh, I'll find it. I don't know what to say. I'm blown away. I hope she, I'll be like a guy in a sundress. That's what I'll say.
Starting point is 01:15:39 I'll be like a guy in yellow flowers. Yep. I, I'm speechless. Good luck, buddy. This is awesome. I found her. Go bagger is awesome go bagger legend of bagger fans this is very exciting let's just move on I can't focus
Starting point is 01:15:54 you're confused this is Emma from Minnesota and I have two questions do I have an accent? I'm always told that people from Minnesota have a very distinct accent and I've always wondered if I have two questions. One, do I have an accent? I'm always told that people from Minnesota have very distinct accent and I've always wondered if I have one. And two, I'm applying for jobs because I just turned 16 in October. And I'm wondering if you guys have any funny or good stories from when you first got a job and if you have any tips about applying for
Starting point is 01:16:21 jobs. Thank you. Love the podcast. Bye bye. It's a big job episode. Yeah. I love how she asked if she had an accent, like six words in. Hey, love the podcast. Do I have an accent? I don't know. Like, like I haven't heard enough of you yet.
Starting point is 01:16:38 Hey, what's your name? Brad. Brad. Okay. I'm Jake. Am I annoying to be around? Right. Am I too much?
Starting point is 01:16:43 Yeah. It's like, actually, well, right now I'm getting some vibes. I can answer that one pretty quickly. Um, that's funny. Whenever I was in Spain, people thought I had a Southern accent. People like Americans thought I had a Southern accent and I was like, roll tide, excuse me, come again. I don't know. I don't, you know, whatever. So no, Emma, you sounded kind of like proper but not like an accent normally a northern accent like an 1860s accent yeah yeah like you're pride and prejudice is what we call that yes goody proctor mm-hmm what's that from crucible sure yeah uh i think northern accents are typically
Starting point is 01:17:19 the short a sounds are weird like yeah like yeah yeah are different yeah i couldn't really tell there uh yeah mr steeze he's from uh well he lives in the he lives in minnesota now and he kind of says it's like very very small but he's like hey big daddy daddy i don't know yeah i'm trying to think what else he says like minnetoba yeah i guess oh that's a big thing obviously with like canadians and northerners wisconsin like uh making a murderer um they had a super thick accent really like with the o's oh you know like uh let me find it let me find it oh oh uh yeah we're still looking for him i don't know where he's at though oh don't know where he's at though that's good no okay dang it okay let me try again uh oh sure you betcha yeah yeah good okay anyway uh yes okay now we're back to the job portion of this episode i guess again
Starting point is 01:18:20 what was the question exactly i don't know know. Let's go back. Let's hear her accent again. Turned 16 in October. October. And I'm wondering if you guys have any funny or good stories from when you first got a job. And if you have any tips about applying for jobs. Thank you. Love the podcast. Bye bye. Tips for applying for jobs.
Starting point is 01:18:38 Gosh, I don't envy the idea of applying for jobs. It's no fun. And I feel like there's not that much of a rhyme or reason. Sometimes I feel like you just get lucky. My tip would be use your network. Yes, that's, I've got a lot of cool jobs just by letting my friends and family know that
Starting point is 01:18:51 I'm looking for a job. That's so much better than like your application, like the perfect application or whatever. Yeah, you're right. Yeah. Just use your network. That's how I got the Springfield Cardinals job.
Starting point is 01:18:59 That's how I got like the fly leaf textbooks thing. The, uh, I mean the firework stand job of a lifetime. Yeah, I got that from a friend. Yeah, never gonna leave it to talk to that. And yeah, so just let people around you. Same way I get like video clients.
Starting point is 01:19:14 I've never run any ads. I most of the years I never even had a website. I just let people know just every like few months on Facebook. Just post a video. Remind everyone this is something that I do. I do this. So yeah, please, please do it. Oh, speaking of things we do, did Laura Gabriel also ask you about wedding DJing?
Starting point is 01:19:31 No. Oh, really? Well, no, no, no. Loser. No, she asked me, she asked me to video her wedding. And then I guess she's saying no to that. She's like, okay, new plan. Would you and Brad want to DJ my wedding?
Starting point is 01:19:44 Oh, okay. And I haven't responded yet because I was going to talk to you about it. She made it seem like she new plan would you and brad want to dj my wedding oh okay and i haven't responded yet because i was going to talk to you about it i she made it seem like she already talked to you i guess not but i was going to let her know i've been confused a lot so maybe she has and i just haven't been able to hear it like i think i'm legitimately gonna text her back and be like brad and i have legitimately had a conversation on the podcast i'll leave that part out but about how we dj oppositely i don't know if it would be a good idea we might get fights yeah you don't want to crossfade yeah you all you want to play the whole song i'd like to crossfade mix and mix and match or maybe we do like half and half like like we
Starting point is 01:20:16 we like we like make that like more of an entrance than the actual like bride and groom is like whenever i come on the stage all right that's my time guys hope you enjoyed that let's go now welcome dj deuce is coming it's all 90s hits it's gonna be great we're gonna play the whole song stairway to heaven all the way through i don't care what you say oh yeah that's true though i hadn't thought about we might get in fights i don't know if it would work out it might end the ghost runners it could it might not be worth it. It's not worth it. It's like taking a bad job. That's right. That's funny.
Starting point is 01:20:49 Any other tips? Any other stories? I'm trying to think of stories. There was a girl when I worked for the Springfield Cardinals. She was a Louis girl. So she was like one of the baseball cheerleaders. And I was like, oh, she is nice to look at from a distance. She's like a really nice girl.
Starting point is 01:21:04 And, you know, I first see her when I'm 16 years old. Then I'm 17. Then I'm 18. She's still there. still haven't got the nerve to talk to her then i go off to college she's a sophomore at sbu i'm a freshman i'm like oh wow hot dog yeah this is it like i'm just to marry this girl that's what this means sister i've had a crush on this girl for three years and now she's in college like i'm going to marry her and i never end up marrying her but i did date a girl who looked a lot like they would get confused for each other so not bad so you have the next best thing yeah and maybe that girl had a better uh you know uh personality you're the girl you dated maybe i doubt she's seen as much baseball who cares baseball's dying
Starting point is 01:21:40 he's a football person yeah sure so that's the only story I can think of when I was 16 about a job. Oh, yeah. I don't have anything too good. For whatever reason, when I was doing that bank teller position, me and some other people that were also like high school kids decided on Friday to do like the opposite of casual Friday where we wore ties, but we only wore them on Friday. Oh, yeah. I think we talked about this because in college we did white collar Wednesdays.
Starting point is 01:22:04 Yeah. Tie-dye Friday. It was great tie-dye tie-day friday that'd be fun to call it tie-dye but then just wear ties tie-dye friday you tell the freshman hey it's tie-dye friday but make sure you still wear a colored shirt so they have like tie-dye color shirts why you guys wear a tie-dye you weirdos tie-day do i have an accent to you? It's tie day. Tie day Friday, Brad, huh? Tie day. Let's do one more voice memo. Hello.
Starting point is 01:22:38 Hello. Welcome to the Jared and Poopsie podcast. My name is Jared Poopsie. Today we had a young listener who had a story for Brad and Poopsie Podcast. My name is Jared Poopsie. Today we had a young listener who had a story for Brad and Poopsie. Seth, what is your story? Wait, so am I Poopsie?
Starting point is 01:22:53 You're both Poopsies. I was opening up my present for Christmas and I got Just Drinks merch. He got Just Drinks merch. And Seth, what happened to your Just Drinks merch? I was super excited about it, but embarrassingly, I dropped a hamburger about it, but embarrassingly, I dropped a hamburger on it.
Starting point is 01:23:07 Embarrassingly, you dropped a hamburger on the Just Drinks merch. Tremendous submission. It was no longer Just Drinks. It was now Just Drinks and Burger. Seth, you had a question for the two guys. What was your question, sir? Do you guys have any embarrassing Christmas stories? And that's all we have time for tonight.
Starting point is 01:23:27 Thank you so much. We love you. Hugs and kisses. I would have loved for him to cut him off. Seth, you had a question for him, didn't you? Yeah. How many? That's all the time we have.
Starting point is 01:23:36 We're actually running short, Seth. Thanks, Poopsie. I like that, though. If you can pull it off, I would like more people to have their own miniature episode within the voice memo. Yeah, it's fun. Give yourself theme theme music give yourself a name for your show that music was awesome like for real if you could pull it off i think that's fun it's like just brand yourself for 60 seconds you you you know get your own show okay bring it on i'm trying
Starting point is 01:23:59 to think of christmas stuff sorry moved on uh but yeah jared um and seth i think it's that his little brother's name seth thanks for buying the just drinks merch that's awesome sorry you got a burger on it you'll be all right these aren't that funny i have i've thought of two things embarrassing okay that's more than i've thought of they're genuinely embarrassing though they're like not like i'm kind of ashamed of them so i guess that makes the first one was more recent i think it was probably three or four years ago you know we do that do that white elephant Christmas gift exchange with Catherine's cousins and it's like a $50 limit. And it was like one of the first years we did it. And so there was kind of like this, like, okay, we're supposed to
Starting point is 01:24:32 get nice things for $50 or we're supposed to get like gag gifts. Cause $50 is a lot of money for gag, whatever. Yeah. And I think Catherine and I both got like nicer things and put it in the pile. And then I opened up this gift and it was a full, like full bodied Ralphie costume from the Christmas story. Like he has like a bunny costume that he wears. And I just, embarrassingly, I just did not react very well. I don't think I'm sure I was like fine, but in my head I was, I was just like so materialistic of like, okay, I just spent a hundred dollars on gifts here and I'm getting this crappy bunny suit. I got you an iPod Phyllis.
Starting point is 01:25:07 Yeah, exactly. Kind of. Yeah. I was. Oven mitt. Yeah. Who said this is as good as oven mitt? I didn't, you know, but I, I don't think I like reacted really poorly in the moment,
Starting point is 01:25:17 but in my head, I'm embarrassed about how I reacted. Yeah. What? And other people were like, that's hilarious. That's so funny. Brad, try it on. I'm like, I'm not trying this crap on. Brad got the best gift. Yeah. What? And other people were like, that's hilarious. That's so funny. Brad, try it on. I'm like, I'm not trying this crap on. Brad got the best gift. Yeah. And so that's embarrassing. And then another time that was embarrassing, it was around Christmas time. It was literally like days before I was getting married. Cause I'm getting my, my wedding
Starting point is 01:25:37 anniversary is coming up January 4th. And, uh, is that tomorrow? Not really. Okay, good. It's today of this episode. Holy cow. You're right. Yeah. Happy anniversary, Catherine. But I was getting married shortly after. So it was 2013, almost 14. And I don't know. I was using my parents' car for something.
Starting point is 01:25:59 And it was like literally like my street that I was pulling onto. And as a stupid idiot kid of 23 years old, I like decided I was going to purposely like basically drift into my street. I drifted a little bit too far and like went into like a little sewer spot, like in the side of the road and like kind of messed up my dad's car. And I like, I like drove it home and it was drivable and stuff. And I was like, Hey dad, just FYI, like the car's kind of messed up. And he like went to take it to like go to the grocery store or something and got like two houses down and realized it was like way more messed up and he like came back in and was like so mad at me he's like it's it's not kind of messed up but that guy could drive it and i was feeling really bad about it so those aren't really funny times but there are
Starting point is 01:26:37 times that i'm embarrassed about it times they're not really funny times they're more like brazen idiot kind of times so we're drifting at 23 yes just a quick drift in the driveway dude i loved i loved like drifting oh yeah it snowed a ton freshman year yeah yeah we went out drifted it was awesome and it wasn't like like whatever besides that stupid time i did and the time i hit a mailbox i guess whatever maybe i'm not very good at it we didn't do anything illegal just knocked over a mailbox some of our friends yeah that's right so anyway you got anything no i yeah i'm trying to remember anything else like embarrassing christmas is not really like a embarrass or like i don't know i don't have any stories about christmas i i feel like
Starting point is 01:27:15 it just like i have really good memories about christmas but nothing like oh it's embarrassing i'm trying to think about this christmas We played some the day after Christmas this year. We got our family together again and played some Jackbox TV games. Oh, yeah. And are there any other good ones? The only ones I know of are Quiplash and Fibbage. That's what I was going to say. So Quiplash is probably still the best.
Starting point is 01:27:36 Yeah. But we played Drawful, which is not bad, and Fibbage, which is also not bad. We played those two. Drawful sounds like you draw something. You have to draw some stuff, but it gets fun because everyone's bad at drawing yeah so you're having to guess what someone else drew like everyone guesses what you drew and then you're just like yelling at someone that's a squirrel eating a nut that's no there's no way where's the nut or the squirrel you didn't see his head that's i think a lot of times my sister and i get a common comment of just like especially
Starting point is 01:28:02 at camp we were at camp together we were at college together once people got to know both of us like man i bet it's so crazy when you guys are at home we're like it's not it's not but the one like alternative to that is when we get back with the fulbrights john angie steve-o then i i wish more people could be invited to this the fire gets lit oh my gosh that is where it's like yeah most families probably aren't like this ride the pony yeah yeah like we're all playing fibbage and like i mean everyone is like cracking jokes like every like seven for seven everyone has like hilarious things to say yeah oh it's so good we had been like we played several games it's starting to get late and we get done with one game my dad's like all right seriously we can we can head out or you know we could play another game you know no one kind of
Starting point is 01:28:43 says anything and you know we're like you know let's play another game and we get out with that one and then it's kind of still like are we know, we could play another game. You know, no one kind of says anything. And, you know, we're like, you know, let's play another game. And we get out with that one. And then it's kind of still like, are we playing another one? We play another game. And the first answer in that next game, you know, Fibbage is all about like fun facts. I try to guess the answer correctly. So it's like this Chinese emperor, whatever, you know, it's we're all guessing emperor names.
Starting point is 01:29:01 And then Aunt Angie just says, guest who don't know when to leave. That's her answer. We were all dying. Like, okay, I guess Angie's ready to go. That's awesome. So just always stuff like that.
Starting point is 01:29:14 It's not even an embarrassing story. Just that's just Christmas story. No, that's the best. Like, and it's, it's awesome that your dad is an in-law, but he's so tight.
Starting point is 01:29:22 Like, that's what I think is like the key is like, obviously you're, Oh no, your dad's not the in-law but he's so tight like that's what i think is like the key is like obviously you're oh no your dad's not the in-law him and angie are brothers and john are in-laws john john and your dad though are really tight and they're and they're not related like that's that's the keys you got to find somebody who you're like really tight with that you're not related to because then people are really going to look forward to hanging out yeah so pressure's on caitlin yeah really and you too yeah i well i found mine yeah you're

Ghost runners did not disappoint. I've been a fan of Jake for a really long time time i originally knew him from josh wharton's youtube channel and then i heard i won fifty thousand dollars i love oreos and then i heard his voice

The first one, honorable mention, was the one that had five flames as the five stars. That was good for J-Hall. I'll be honest, he's one of my good friends, though, so I can't like... Oh, you know this guy?
Starting point is 01:33:03 Oh, yeah. He's one of my favorites. Oh, yeah. He's the guy I said, that's like the most lovable person in the world. And I said that like, if anybody could like be hired to like be a party starter at a wedding, like a dance, like dance party starter, it would be Jeremy holiday. So he's legitimately the best dude. So Jeremy honorable mention, but this one is so good. It says you, you have, you had no right in open letter. This is really long
Starting point is 01:33:25 yeah this is uh i'm gonna try to go quickly but also give it the uh gumption that it deserves mr's triplet and ellis should this note i have laboriously pinned ever grace your mics i advise your younger listeners or parents with youngins in the minivan to jump on over to k love or something for the grievances i seek to reconcile our feelings with depth. Thus my language may not, nay, cannot be censored. I am irked. Oh, really stinking irked. Watch it back in August. I set out to train for a half marathon after working at a certain summer camp with a K in hopes of keeping up the stature portion of that Luke 252 lifestyle for Square Life. I plan to use an increment system in which I ran for X amount of minutes and walked for X over two amount of minutes.
Starting point is 01:34:12 Smart. You know, just to get into it at the start. The details of my training seem flippantly unimportant, but I digress. Yeah, I'm glad he included that. I chose to listen to your podcast starting from episode one after a friend who knew you recommended the handiwork of your mouths and voices, and little did i know the effects of my blunderous decision what started as a running oh what started as a running regiment has digressed into a walking one segments such as window middle aisle or amish jams or even the one where brad and katherine go to nyc have had
Starting point is 01:34:40 me keeled over in an asthmatic fashion. Have you ever seen a runner keeled over while trying to run a seven minute mile? Naruto, cool. I don't get that part. I don't get it. It's cool. Your air of humor and flair for the hysterics of life whilst wrapped up in a conversational friendship
Starting point is 01:34:56 of two Chick-fil-A lovers has me captivated. I've caught up all the way and I've also resorted to listening to you on long Monday road trips to my local CFA or imaginary Just Drinks. And let me tell you, you can't keel over while laughing while driving either. I'm sorry. You can't keel over laughing while driving either. The little podcast you didn't know if anyone but Jake's mom and Gunnar listened to has
Starting point is 01:35:16 blossomed into something so, for lack of a better word, cool. Keep up the great work. Come on down to B-Town, Missouri to pickle sometime and have a phenomenal new year. guys p.s brad's cooler than jake oh whoa whoa even when he has covet says it on there it's crazy that you put that last part yeah i'm not seeing that on my screen are you on charitable yeah yeah me too huh i wonder who that is i don't know it was written my like my friend matt gilbert but it's not because he says come to B-Town, Missouri. He says now a Walker, in all caps, Texas Ranger. I think his name is Walker.
