Let Me Stop You Right There
Anyone who leaves less than a 5 star review probably just started listening and is named Henry or was denied their request for a consensual dog kennel. This podcast is SPICY and that’s freakin’ true! It is THE better podcast of them all. Jake and Brad are awesome and make everyday life stories fun to listen to. A simple, fun, encouraging, hilarious podcast that will brighten your day and make you laugh too hard when working out at the gym or mowing your lawn. This talk show deserves 5,000 star reviews.
Hey Scott, this is Brad’s podcast, ok.

Love this pod
This podcast is a hilarious, clean comedy podcast hosted by Jake Triplett and Brad Ellis. Their chemistry is unmatched, blending quick improv, goofy bits, and real-life stories that keep you laughing and feeling like you're hanging with close friends. It's refreshingly wholesome, consistently funny, and perfect for listeners who want comedy without crudeness. Highly recommend!

Jesus’ Joy in Chaos
Jake, Brad, Timon, and all your quality guests, thank you for sharing love and encouragement every week. I always knew your podcast positively impacted me, but I really recognized the gravity of that impact in November 2024 when my husband was away at military basic training, I was 16 weeks pregnant with our sixth kiddo (I am the same age as y’all but we have two adopted and four biological), our oldest daughter was overseas on a mission trip, and our 10-year-old daughter suffered a life-threatening brain bleed from a cheerleading fall. After a whirlwind of the emergency room to being ambulanced to our children’s hospital and admitted to the pediatric ICU, I had a moment to go home and shower and gather some things. Since my husband and oldest daughter (the ones who brings levity to situations like these) were away and barely reachable, the load of all this was extra heavy on me. When I got home, I felt myself physically smile and begin to relax when I realized there was a new episode of Ghostrunners to listen to. I listened and laugh/cried being encouraged by whatever silliness ensued on that episode.
By a true miracle, our daughter made a full recovery from her injury, we now have a healthy baby boy, and my husband and daughter are both home. Thank you for shining the light of Jesus into these dark/tough/scary situations in all our lives! Your fun, relatable stories help me look for the humor in my daily life.
P.S. My kids and I were walking into Walmart yesterday when I looked over and noticed a lady shining her phone flashlight right at us… maybe she was recording us or maybe she was innocently pulling a Jake at the gym. We’ll never know.

Attention Mr. Ellis
Obligatory “you gotta listen to just one episode and then you’ll be all in.” The real reason I’m leaving a review is to let Brad know there are people out there excited for the Tablesetters pod and this is his sign to hit publish on just one episode. I’ve been needing some encouragement lately as someone trying to make it with their own product and from listening to you on this pod for a couple years I trust that you will have good and helpful things to say. Inspire me Papa Ellis! Anyway, thankful to be part of this community, everyone should join the Facebook group. It makes everything better.

Too Much Like Correct Opinions For Me
*dramatic reading please* Just like correct opinions being Trey, his wife, and his random friend, now the show has evolved to Jake, his wife and his random friend…It’s a shame that SOME PEOPLE HAVEN’T HEARD HEARD OF THE SWEET SWEET SYMPHONY OF THE INTRO THAT IS “UH UH OH EW I EW I REALLY LIKE THIS TIGHT BEAT…” if you’re a ghostie, you know the rest. You probably sang along with it. Thank you to Jake, Brad, Timon, and now Rachel for all the laughs. Moving to KC knowing no one but my wife last fall, the past year at my job has been tough but my drive to work listening to you guys always helps lighten the mood and get me in the right mindset for the day. I feel like i have gained friends I haven’t even met. I am always looking forward to the next episode. Thank you for sharing your lives, laughs, and encouraging faith with us. Looking forward to making it to gulf shores someday.

The Pausing of an Era
HELLO!!!! Jake, Brad, and Timon (R.I.P.)! It’s been a pleasure listening to you boys since I was a young freshman in highschool, I am now a graduated senior headed off to the military next week! Throughout my high school career the ghostrunners podcast has been with me day in and day out motivating me, encouraging me, and giving me a laugh when I need it most. Each and every episode keeps me entertained and this pod even inspired me to start getting into shape which then led me into pursuing a military career! I can’t say that all my life decisions have been based on this pod, but I can say that without the motivation to get shredded I probably wouldn’t be on the path I am now. Thank you so much for all the laughs and I cannot wait to catch back up on all the amazing episodes once I get my phone back in 2 months. Best of luck to you boys and the rest of the ghostie community!

This pod is CRAZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZYYY
This is the best podcast I will ever listen to. Jake, Brad, and the other guy ( who I won’t list because he’s in OHIO) make me laugh daily. From random raps to goofy games, these three are sure to send you to the emergency room weekly for laughing too much! I listen to y’all every night before bed, and I always go to sleep wishing I could listen to more. I’ve tried to spread the Good News (your podcast) but none of my friends are interested. But I won’t stop pestering until the whole friend group listening daily! If I could rate this 10 stars I would! Bye bye!

Listen to your best friend!
My best friend has been a ghostie since the very beginning. I mean, she has been telling me I need to listen to you guys since 2019. That’s 6 years of me being stubborn and thinking I don’t have the time to listen to a podcast that I know very little about. Props to her for being so patient with me, because this was the year that I decided to take her advice! I am so glad I did. I am now on the long journey of listening from the beginning while also keeping up with current episodes. I wouldn’t stop telling my husband about the various games, topics, and silly things discussed on the episodes I had listened to, so i was pleasantly surprised when he told me that he was listening on his own time! I told my best friend, (Shout out to Leann Mazack!!) you know.. I should have listened to you all those years ago, but I don’t regret waiting, because this is the best time in my life to have this many episodes of such a great podcast at my disposal. You guys have brought me some sanity and laughter during my long days at home with my two young kids. I can’t wait to finish catching up, but I am also enjoying the delight of listening to all this for the first time! Thank you for all you guys do and thank you for the laughs!

Confession
Confession time: I regularly skip Focus on The Family episodes to instead listen to Ghostrunners. Jake, Brad and Timon bring me so much joy and laughter! I’m from Oregon and consistently wish I lived near enough to bump into one of you or go to the places you talk about so often. (I actually saw Timon at church one time in KC but was too chicken to say hi. So many regrets). Sorry this review is so long, but I have more to say. I work with one of my best friends, and after months of her telling me to listen to Ghostrunners I finally did and have never been more grateful. We talk more about Jake and Brad (and Timon) than we do about work now. It has become my entire personality. Thank you for all you guys do!

Awesome
It’s the ghostrunners podcast. I’ve listened to this since 2020 and the show has only gotten better. I always love when Scott is on the pod so those eps were probably my favorite. I’ve listened to your pod almost everyday since I found it. I almost got in a fist fight because someone said a joke about Brad… don’t ask. It’s been an adventure I started listening when I was in middle school and this fall I’m starting college. Thank you guys for the laughs and always positive attitudes. I have had the pleasure of meeting both Jake and Brad and they are truly great men.

Great Pod
I actually work in the testing facility that certifies pickleball paddles for USA pickleball and every time I see a Friday paddle I think of ole Jakey Trip. Great podcast love how you guys keep it light while keeping God at the center.

My friends!!!
Love the podcast! I’ve been a ghostie for about 2 years now. Looking back I can’t believe how bored I was before I listed to Ghostrunners.
I’m the only one out of my family and friends who listens to the pod, and I remember one time I wanted to share a particularly funny story from Ghostrunners, but of course no one knew who I was talking about. So I just referred to Jake, Brad, and Timon as “my friends.” And it truly feels like that! Although I’ve never met them, it feels like we’re all great friends who get together twice a week.
I love this podcast community, and I don’t take for granted the faith and positivity in every episode! So thanks to my “friends” for all you do!

Perfect Comfort AND Comedy Podcast!
It’s taken me months—far too many of them—to finally sit down and write this review, but here we are! I’ve been listening since Unsolicited Advice -the episode where a girl gave Isaac her number on a golf course. In hindsight, a pretty random entry point—especially having no idea who Isaac was or what was going on—but it didn’t take long before I felt like I was right there with you guys, picking up on the inside jokes, the ever-growing lore of Jake and Brad, and of course, the evolving brilliance that is Timon.
As a fellow people pleaser, I had a moment that immediately made me think of Jake’s story about apologizing to an inanimate object. I was walking a trail in Tennessee when a man and his two daughters stopped me to ask where a certain path led. Nervous and clearly not thinking straight, I blurted out, “I’m sorry, I don’t—it’s my first time walking…” (I meant walking this trail, but alas.) I don’t remember much after that, except that I thanked him—yes, thanked him—and walked away.
Anyway, you guys have gotten me through countless 12-hour shifts at the dog kennel. Yes, it is a comfort podcast but I will not downplay the comedy part of it! I could barely drive while listening to Timon rap the Busta Rymes part in Drummer Boy and hearing Jake passionately explain how good of a song it truly is! I also love how often you reference older jokes—it really makes it feel like being part of a tight-knit community. “I love inside jokes. I’d love to be a part of one someday.” - Michael Scott
Brad, your (intentionality) for Fatherhood makes me that much more excited to one day be a mom, Jake you have such a passion for what could be in life that it makes me look at things in an inspired new light, and Timon I am so excited for what life holds for you, we all know it’s going be something big! Praying for abundant blessings for all of you!

I like Timon
I’m down if Timon wants to date my sister. I approve. He’s a pretty chill dude. However my sister says he’s not manly enough for her, so I guess hit the gym Timon. But I swear Timon, if you ever hurt her I will not hesitate to dunk on you!
Anyway thanks for the pod and all the chuckles I get from this.
P. S. Would hate to be too unmanly for a girl.

Changed My Life and Possibly My Plumbing
I started listening to Ghostrunners because my neighbor’s dog kept howling the theme song every Monday at 3 a.m., and honestly? Best decision I ever made. Jake Triplehorn and Bradley Elbow are the comedic geniuses we didn’t know we needed. Their deep-dive interviews with historical figures like Benjamin Franklin and Shrek have taught me more than 12 years of school ever did.
The chemistry between the hosts is unmatched—especially since they’re identical twins raised separately in different Chick-fil-As (or so they claim in episode 904). I laughed, I cried, I learned how to parallel park with confidence. One episode was just 47 minutes of kazoo solos and I still gave it a standing ovation in my living room.
I now exclusively communicate in inside jokes from this podcast. My boss fired me, but he listened to one episode and rehired me as his boss.
In conclusion: If you’re not listening to Ghostrunners, you’re probably doing your taxes wrong.
💥 5 stars, 2 thumbs up, and one honorary doctorate in Friendship Studies.

Brb crying
I enjoyed that last episode so much, I feel kind of silly laugh-crying by myself over some of the stuff y’all say! Bored-in-the-house teacher just hanging out this summer, waiting for my blue-collar husband to come home. What better way to fill the time than listen to some good, old clean humor? Thanks for keeping it real and making people laugh.

Fav podcast!
Hi Jake, Brad and Timon! My name is Shara and wanted to say keep
up the good work on ghost runners! I look forward to listening to it every week. I’m from the Springfield area and grew up in Seymour, so it’s crazy hearing you all talk about this area lol. I now say “I dOn’T kNoW” like Hattie since listening to that episode. She’s hilarious by the way! Also, I went to Kansas City (Overland Park/Leawood area) a few weeks back hoping to run into one of you, but of course that happened to be when Jake was in China and no telling where Brad was. Maybe I should’ve went by Home Depot🤣 also went by Trader Joe’s of course, and it was insanely busy and all I thought about was Jake trying to get outta everyone’s way haha. anyways love the pod guys! Have a good one!

Ghostie Redemption
I started listening to you a few years ago after hearing about you from Jean Shorts. I dove in deep, listening to old episodes while also keeping up with current ‘sodes. You guys were a constant source of laughter during my days at home with kids. I looked forward to working out every day because it was my dedicated listening time. I was surprised by how much we had in common. I’m Jake’s age, I homeschool our kids, I live 20 minutes from Rachel’s hometown, and my husband graduated from UNI. I frequently would tell my husband something that Brad or Jake had said on the pod. I tried to get him to listen to no avail. Then disaster struck. At the beginning of this year I felt the Lord telling me to give up your podcast. I fought it for a while. I mean, how could listening to a clean podcast by two funny, Christian guys that brought me joy be something bad? Clearly I had misunderstood God. After a month or so, though, I did the hard thing and gave up Ghostrunners. Life felt empty. Colors were less vibrant. I didn’t laugh nearly as often. But then a funny thing happened. One night my husband and I watched an episode on YouTube. Then we watched the next one when it came out. And the next one. And we haven’t stopped since. The other night he was proud to show me how much of the intro song he knows. He points out things that remind him of the pod. We bought Friday paddles for our anniversary. We just got done playing pickleball in Dike, and he made sure to drive by a certain not-quite-open-yet coffee shop. It turns out I had to give you up to gain something more. I’m proud to be a Ghostie once again, this time with my favorite person right alongside me, sharing all the fun. Thanks for bonding us together even more. You guys are great!

9ers fan
Just wanted to say a heartfelt thank you for all the laughs. I’ve been listening since 2020. And like so many other fans/listeners you’ve gotten me through so many rainy days but also sunny days. I had to stop for a minute though because I’m a 49ers fan and well I was heartbroken and well bitter, okay? But I can’t blame you for being Chief fans. And that didn’t last long anyway because I couldn’t stay away.
Everyone should listen to this podcast because not only are these three hilarious they also keep you up with what’s new and trending. Latest food health news, celebrities, movies, shows, podcasts, sports, even travel destinations and games. Just yesterday morning on the TODAY show Branson, MO was listed as #4 on “Summer Trends: Travel” list!! What? I’d never even heard of Branson before these guys! And Mahjong was listed as #1 on “Summer Trends: Events” list!! I took a picture of the lists but don’t know where to upload it because the guys haven’t taught me that yet. Anyway so thankful for the laughs and knowledge, please don’t stop podding and everyone give it a listen.

1st review ever for the greatest pod
Truly this is my first time ever writing a review for any podcast ever. I often think about writing reviews, it’s definitely a nice idea, just never seems to happen.
But I’ve been listening to ghostrunners for about a year and a half now and for all the laughs and joy they have given me I feel the least I can do is find out how to leave a review!
I found ghostrunners through walk in love, and even stayed with TJ and Brooke in Maui as podcast visitors! After the visit decided I finally needed to give the pod a try and have been hooked since!
So Jake, Brad and Timon thank you so much! When someone said this is the ultimate comfort podcast that is the best description ever! After long days at work and long commutes home I always enjoyed being able to turn on ghost runners and just laugh.
You even helped as my husband and I moved across the country from New Jersey to Colorado last summer!
So keep all the laughs coming I am so thankful for them all.
P.S. sane or psycho: when I listen to old episodes I go most recent and then backwards instead of from the beginning🤷♀️ lmk

So good
I have been listening since the summer of 2019. So fun to listen to genuinely good guys who laugh about everything
Who’s in charge??
Great pod
Absolutely love this podcast! Jake & Brad never fail to make me laugh out loud. I listen on my way to and from work and it always puts me in a better mood - even after a horrible shift. It’s good, clean humor that anyone can enjoy. And I love that they love Jesus too. Keep doing what you’re doing!
PS- I’m currently listening to every single podcast episode from the beginning, and it’s just as entertaining as the current ones. So fun to listen to Jake talk about his future wife and Brad about his wife & Hattie.
Peace ✌🏼

Two chickens.
Out of all the insane things that have been said on this podcast Jake’s banana preference has to be the worst. Possibly the only thing close to as bad is Brad’s Theo Von impression. Banana has to have a little green to it still or it goes into the garbage. Love the pod, keep it going. That is all.

Oh my word
Dude every single time ya’ll drop I just need every episode injected write into my veins dawg!! This podcast is insane…..no joke the best ever.

You guys are my people keep doing what you’re doing love you guys!!!!

Greatest Podcast Ever
I have been listening to this pod for around 2 and a half years now and am just now writing a review. I am a 15 year old, I met Jake when him and Trey came to Jacksonville. As I am writing the review I’m driving through KC for the first time. I am homeschooled and in CC congrats to Hattie becoming a memory master coming from a former one. Jake and Brad have inspired me to just go through life laughing. Thank you for making an engaging community. The pod brightens my week. It truly feels like they are your friends. Peace out ghosties

This Podcast Turned My Brain into a Smoothie (In a Good Way)
If laughter is the best medicine, then Ghostrunners is that weird prescription your doctor gives you that comes with zero side effects except uncontrollable giggles and random urges to quote inside jokes no one else understands.
Brad and Jake (or is it Jake and Brad? Is this alphabetical? Is one of them a hologram?) talk about everything from toenail clippings to small-town mayors who moonlight as clog dancers. It’s basically two guys having the funniest midwestern fever dream and letting us eavesdrop.
I started listening while folding laundry and now my clothes are all inside out and my dog thinks I’ve lost it. 10/10 would recommend to anyone with ears, a heartbeat, and a love for niche banter and dramatic vocal fry. My only complaint is that I laughed so hard I scared my Roomba.
Subscribe now before your brain figures out what you’re doing.

Chatty Chad didn’t write this
Are you freaking kidding me
Not sure what sign I was waiting for to finally leave a review, but hearing someone is bringing down the much-deserved 5 star overall rating with a dang 2 star just grinds my gears. These guys are the best, I could write a novel on why this podcast and these guys are 5 stars. But I’m not going to, if you need more info email me.

Very Good Pod
Male. Age 29. Never reviewed a pod before. No intentions to review one. However, Have to counteract the 2* review. Would recommend the pod to both friends and enemies.

Fun Listening
I love this podcast….it’s like listening to the brothers (actually sons…I’m 65 for Pete’s sake!) I never had! Looking forward to all you have for 2023!
~Elk-Grove-Susan
P.S.-The original shape of Trix was balls. When they changed it to those weird fruit shapes (or whatever they were) I was not amused. Glad to hear they came to their senses.😎
Edit: The stories of Jake’s trip were so fun to listen to! Translating Rosie’s speech was hilarious…with 15 grandchildren, the struggle is real.😂 Happy belated birthday blessings, Timon!😎 Y’all keep up the good work!

I just finished listening to all the old episodes and can now say I am all caught up. This is definitely one of my favorites things to listen to. Thanks for everything and keep it up.

Dead Rat….
I’m pretty sure the review from Devin Nelson about the dead rat in the dryer vent has been read at least 5 times now.
Love the Pod! Look forward to my Mondays and Wednesdays every week. Do I win a prize for noticing the repeat of the review. Jk, but for reals is there a reason for the repeat? Thanks for the laughs. Keep up the good work and congrats on 6 years!!!

This podcast is awesome. I audibly laugh out loud constantly. I started at a random and had to go back and listen to all the episodes

Delusion
This podcast has quickly become a favorite of mine. It is clear to see the genuine good-dudeness from all three of you. Being a new listener, I have not listened long enough to get past the subtle freak out that happens when Jake reads the review about a dead rat every week. I am still unsure if this is some sick inside joke I’m not privy to, I’m going crazy, or it’s an editing error that only I’ve caught!

Help! What do I listen to now?
A bit of a Ghostie origin story: after I lost my Dad to a battle with emphysema in December of 2021, I started listening to a grief podcast to help me process my loss. It was tremendously helpful, so I continued to find podcasts that helped me in other parts of my life, too. Parenting, spiritual, anxiety… you get the point. In March of 2024, my therapist recommended that I find a podcast that would make me laugh and bring me joy, as well. Why didn’t I think of that? As a full-time working wife and mother, I found myself always busy and forgetting what it was like to relax and laugh.
I made a post to Facebook asking for recommendations for a fun podcast that I could listen to. The wife of the Children’s Pastor at our church recommended Jake and Brad (pre-Timon). I am forever grateful to Hannah C. for her recommendation, because now I can’t picture my life without the joy that they bring. It took me 13 months to listen to 6 years worth of episodes and as of today, I am caught up to “live.” What do I listen to until the next episode drops? For the last year, I’ve always had an episode loaded and ready to go, so now I feel lost. 🤣
I cannot recommend this podcast enough - to anyone and everyone! I proudly wear my Ghostrunners merch every chance I get, just praying that someone will recognize me as a fellow Ghostie so that we can bond over our love for this show.
Thank you for making me laugh at a time in my life where I was afraid I had forgotten how. With love, from Pensacola, FL. -Trista

Ok
When is Timon going to release an album? I rewinded his jingle several times and I’m here to say is voice is NICE.
To the only 5 star podcast, thanks for what you do. Been listening since mowing lawns in 2019 and have no plans of quitting anytime ever. You really are the best 👌

Happy Ghostiversary!
I just realized it’s been officially one full year of being a proud Ghostie, so I figured it was time to leave a review—and hopefully make Jake, Brad, and Timon smile the way they’ve made me smile during some really hard times.
Last Mother's Day—my 10th without my mom—my husband and I lost our home and one of our sweet dogs in a devastating house fire. Since then, I’ve been dealing with severe depression and PTSD, and overall just a shell of myself.
Then, this past fall, after catching up on Correct Opinions, I decided to give Ghostrunners a shot—and it quickly became my go-to podcast. I'm not super religious, definitely not sheltered, but somehow your wholesome stories, talks of faith, and heartwarming friendship have become exactly the bright spot I needed in some really dark days.
Thank you for helping me laugh again, for bringing joy back into my week, and for reminding me that the world—despite everything—still has light, love, and a whole lot of inside jokes to be had. Here’s to one year down, and many more to go as a proud Ghostie!

So wholesome
I noticed that I can’t stop smiling when hearing these two talk to each other. You can hear (and if you’re watching, you can see) how much fun they are having just talking. We need more of this stuff in the world.

This podcast makes my job bearable!
I started listening to podcasts when I started my job as an accountant about a year and a half ago. (Before that I was a teacher and had no time for podcasts) I started with true crime podcasts and, though interesting, my days seemed dark and depressing.
I tried a couple Christian comedy podcasts but couldn’t quite get into them so I moved on to sports podcasts. Soon a friend suggested Ghostrunners and I’m forever grateful! I’ve been listening for close to a year now and I look forward to each new episode! I went from a very high energy job to a very LOW energy job and listening to Ghostrunners keeps me going on the long days. I love that it combines so many of my interests like comedy, sports, travel, and the everyday adventures of living a Godly life. Thank you for making my days fly by and keeping me laughing while I spend my days doing something I never thought I’d have to do after school…MATH!

My favorite podcast! 10/10
My sister introduced this podcast to me almost three years ago, and I would definitely recommend. I love the relatable content with lots of laughs. It feels like Brad, Jake, and Timon are people you actually know irl. I always cannot wait for the next episode to come out. Ghostrunners is my favorite podcast, I love it.
Thank you guys so much!
(Also, sorry about the tariffs Jake)

Eating Dinner in a Buc-ee’s Parking Lot with Brad, Jake, and Timon
Let me tell you something about Ghostrunners… this is no mere podcast. It’s more like a long distance friendship with three of the most hilarious, intentional, Godly men you will ever meet! Nothing exemplifies this fact more than a moment I experienced recently. I was driving back home after a great visit with my parents, who live five hours away. My heart felt so heavy leaving them, and one or two tears were definitely shed as I drove. I pulled into a Buc-ee’s to eat my cold lunch box dinner, sitting in my car wishing I was having dinner with my family instead. Then, before I could even think twice, I said out loud, “I know, I’ll eat with Brad, Jake, and Timon!” I ate the rest of my dinner with a smile on my face as I listened to Brad and Jake riff about their week, and just like that all the homesick sadness that had been weighing on my chest seemed to be lifted away. This podcast is truly one of the main highlights of my week, as I know it is for so many other Ghosties out there as well! I don’t think anyone could make everyday stories and experiences more extraordinarily funny or relatable than Brad and Jake, and it’s been so cool to see Timon grow into his own unique (and hysterical!) voice on the pod as well! Thank you guys so much for bringing so much joy, wisdom, and laughter to the world. You are using the gifts the Lord has given you in such an impactful way, and I will be forever proud to call myself a Ghostie! Here’s to many more years of unhinged ad reads, half-baked segments, and Broadway caliber jingles! Love you guys!

The Friends You Didn’t Know You Needed
Ok this may take a minute but I’ve got a lot to say about this podcast. First I’m a bi-vocational pastor, and I travel for my job as a project leader for an east coast grocery chain. I can be on the road for 3 to 5 hours a day depending on where I’m going. I strive to mix it up with some devotional material, bible studies, current events and sometimes to unplug and just laugh. I came across this podcast maybe about a year ago and they are my go to for what feels like hanging out with friends. Sometimes with a full plate I don’t get too many opportunities to just be, I’m either the project lead, pastor, father, student and husband. I can jump into The Ghostrunners podcast and feel like I’m there with them cutting up and just being random. I do get passionate about some of the movie reviews and shows that are discussed as I’m a bit of a tv/movie enthusiast. I really enjoyed the inclusion of Scott last week and I’m still dying about the “Silverback” comment it was so stupid accurate. And Christopher Walken pitching your pickle ball paddles would be genius! Sometimes I wish the episodes were shorter just because if I’m on an hour trip I may not come back to finish it for a few days, but I find value in their length as well, this show gives me things I can share with my wife and we can laugh together. It kind of breaks up the things that can consume my day like work and preparing for church services and offers me some different engagements. It reminds me of my younger days where me and my friends would get together and just laugh and carry on about a myriad of subjects. I love that it’s family friendly, I listen to it at times when my two youngest teenagers are with me. The episode where “Good boy” came up has pretty well created a household joke between the three of us. My kids started homeschooling 2 years ago so they perk up when they hear some of the comments along the way, it’s nice having a younger voice on there with Timon as well. I can’t say enough about it, truly do enjoy the atmosphere and engagement. This show offers me something different and is a true blessing to have in my follow list.

My Go-To Listen
Greetings from Washington! This podcast is amazing! I started listening to you all back on December 23rd of last year. I was having a really rough day because I had discovered a dead rat in the dryer vent of my old rental. I started with that Monday’s episode and then jumped back to listen to the Glossary episode and I’ve been hooked ever since. I’m also very thankful for your Christmas episode and encouraging those who were listening on Christmas because last year was the first time in a couple years that I didn’t have Christmas with my family back in Kentucky. It’s great to have a podcast where the hosts are absolutely hilarious and also willing to talk openly about their walks with Jesus. Brad, Jake, and Timon, thanks for all you do!

Listening to old episodes
So, I’m going back through and listening to old episodes of the pod lately, and I’m on about episode 15, and Jake just said he hates running, which is funny because last year you ran a mile every day. Then, in this same convo Jake and Brad are having, Jake says “I think I’m going to try pickle ball” which is just so funny knowing now how big a deal Friday is and how that’s like your job now! Anyways love the pod and it’s really fun to go back and listen to the old episodes and see how different your lives are now.

"Who would listen to them talk for an hour and half?"
"It's kind of unbelievable how positive of an impact the Ghostrunners podcast has had on my life." I texted my husband those exact words as I wrapped up another amazing episode and he said, "Guess you need to write a review" so here I am!
My husband and I found the Ghostrunners podcast through Jean Shorts Comedy. When we first found Ghostrunners we used to say, "Who would listen to them talk for an hour and half each week?" Now I wish the episodes were longer!
Ghostrunners came into my life right when I needed it. Last spring, my husband got laid off and we were first time parents with a two month old. After we put our daughter to bed, we'd watch some of the pod together on YouTube and share some laughs after many hard days of job searching and parenting.
What started as a comfort podcast during a hard season has turned into a go-to and must listen, in all seasons. My husband listens to new episodes on his way to work and is always finishing episodes before me. We can't even wait until the evening to listen together anymore!
I used to only download podcasts that were "productive" where I felt like I could learn something about health, business, etc. With Ghostrunners, I learn something new every single episode, (especially with the recent trivia addition) but it's actually fun and enjoyable to listen to!
Once you listen to "America's best clean comedy podcast", you can never go back; you'll be a ghostie for life. The stories, banter, jokes, jingles, and segments are absolutely hilarious. Hosts Brad Ellis and Jake Triplett display something that is increasingly rare in our society - having a foundation of the same faith and values, but being okay with and even celebrating their differences. And I can't forget producer Timon, who rounds out the group perfectly and keeps us millennials educated about Gen Z culture (as well as all things theater and movies), so I'm not completely out of touch.
I cannot say enough good things about the Ghostrunners podcast. Thank you for bringing joy into my life every week, for stewarding the gifts God has given you all so well, and for inspiring me and countless others to do the same.

Snot in my guac
As of this March I have officially been listening to the Ghostrunners Podcast for three years, and what better way to celebrate than by snotting in my guac. Over the years I have always appreciated the clean, Christian, fun that this podcast provides just like the other content you all are apart of. (I also love Correct Opinions, about a year and a half ago I had 2 fan videos on there as “Helmet Guy”) Though all the other videos are funny, this podcast has done the best job at providing a calm environment and listening truly makes me feel at home no matter where I am or how stressed I am. But today my friends were talking about something. We were talking about the movies that made us laugh the hardest, and I couldn’t think of anything that really made me laugh out loud. But last night I sat down to give the Wednesday episode a watch while enjoying chips and homemade guacamole. As a basketball fan I was thoroughly enjoying the reenactment of Jake and Brad trying to draw a foul, and then the story about Brad and Henry by the urinal got me real good. I kid you not, the thought of the guy sitting in the stall hearing a grown man yell almost made me cry laughing, and let’s just say the guac was no longer appetizing when it was all said and done. It’s hard to believe I started listening as a freshman in high school and now I’m going to graduate in a couple months, and though I’m not old enough to go on a ghostie getaway yet, I definitely hope to do one in the future! In my three years as a listener, I’ve always wanted to write a review but never actually got around to doing it, so I guess this milestone is a pretty good time to you guys your well deserved 5 stars. Plus the snotted guac is a fun layer too.
