I’ve been listening to this podcast for 5 years now, and I’ve often thought to myself “I really need to leave a review,” but it has always felt so overwhelming because I wanted the review to be perfect and it was hard to put into words what a silly comedy podcast about nothing has meant to me. But at the end of the day, the two words that come to my mind the most are ‘constant’ and ‘friendship.’ For every single Monday, and for the past couple years, every single Wednesday, Jake and Brad have shown up for me and countless other ghosties every. single. time. No matter what was going on in my life, I could always count on the comforting feeling of knowing I had an hour and a half of laughs and inside jokes from two Midwest best friends ahead of me. I’ve been listening to Jake and Brad since before I had kids, through multiple moves, through major family health issues. But no matter what was going on in my life, Jake and Brad have been one of the few constants. As far as friendship goes, not only has Jake and Brad‘s friendship inspired me, but it has formed friendships in my life. The strongest friendship being with my cousin Maddie, who became a Ghostie convert and now it has given us something to bond over. We’ve written jingles together, and we almost exclusively communicate with Ghostrunners GIFS. And one of the most cherished and memorable parts of our friendship happened when we were able to have the opportunity to go on vacation with Jake and Brad and 40 other ghosties, where many more true friendships were formed. The fact that these two podcasters, who I once looked at as small town celebrities, I now consider friends, is such a rare phenomenon and I’m so grateful for it. The Ghostrunners podcast is a prime example of what can happen when you honor God with your life, even in what can feel mundane. Jake and Brad‘s faith, attitude, countenance, and the way they build others up and have a positive outlook on almost every situation has been such a testament to the joy that they have living inside them because of Jesus. For a while I thought I wanted to be more like Jake and Brad, but I think ultimately they’ve helped me realize that I want to be more like Jesus in the way that I live and treat other people. The Ghostrunners podcast will forever be part of the fabric of my life and I’m so grateful to Jake and Brad for the community that they have formed and for the constancy and friendship that they emanate so well. Love you guys
