Speaker 1 (00:00):
Happy Friday. Ah, it's not Friday, man, It's only Wednesday.
It is hump Day.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
We need to bring that back. Nobody says hump Day anymore. Nobody.
Speaker 1 (00:10):
I say to my wife, but that's on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday,
Saturday and Sunday. And she only agrees to it, usually
on Sunday.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
So I'm always like, hey, today's good day for Humpday. Ignored. Hey,
today's good day for Humpday. Ignored.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
Finally, on the seventh one, she's like, fine, we can
do Humpday on.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
The seventh day. You must rest coacher. Oh is that
what they say? How the hell have you been? Man?
Speaker 1 (00:39):
Man, I'm a little frustrated. I'm a little I gotta
be honest with you because the world has made it
more difficult than ever to get a tea time to
play golf with your family members. When you're going to
Austin and you're gonna see your family and you want
to hang out with your brother and you want to
play eighteen holes of golf, it should be so simple.
(01:01):
Hey dad, No, I'm not talking about playing golf with
my dad. I'm talking about playing golf with Batter's.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
Box does your dad play.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
He played a few times, like fifteen years ago when
we'd go play, but now he does not play.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
No, dang, yeah, see I wish he played. That'd be funny.
We went and played one time in Arizona. We went
to see my uncle, uncle Doug, and we were on
the first tea box and old Pops didn't wear golf
shoes jockstrap and it was a little dewey on the
first tee and he swung and what on his ass?
(01:37):
I bet he's still filling that one. It was pretty bad. So, No,
he hadn't played in a while.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
And maybe I should have invited him to play golf
with my brother and myself on Sunday. But I just
feel like he doesn't enjoy it. He gets tired, it's
not really fun for him. But maybe he would have
enjoyed hanging out with his sons. Man, now that you
say that, I feel bad.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
I just didn't know if he was on the circuit
with you, because you have your homies that you roll with.
I didn't know if he was part of the Garrett
clan for lack of a better group term.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
No, it's Garrett Greg Jacob. No, he is not part
of that group. But anyway, so Sunday, we are trying
to play.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
Golf before work on Monday.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
Yes, Sunday, boy, you crazy. I'm trying to play early
in the morning. My flight is at like five point
fifteen five point forty five ish on Sunday. I thought
about taking the ten pm flight getting back at twelve
fifteen am, but I felt like that was pretty stupid
and irresponsible and I'd be exhausted.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
That's getting all the orange juice out of the orange
one hundred.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
You gotta squeeze it. It both ends. When you go to Austin.
You gotta see friends, gotta see family, Gotta do a
little bit of work in between. Gotta suck that orange dry.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
Make sure the banana's gone.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
So the Austin Municipal Golf System, they have a new
way of booking a tea time. You can no longer
call and get it tea time. You can never go
in person and get a tee time. You have to
go online and book a tea time.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
Yeah, that's what I do at the Muni.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
And they don't do that at the Muni's here. They
never did in Austin. Now it's new. They have this
whole system. They redevelop their website, revamped it. Now you
can book tea times.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
Great.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
So I'm trying to get a t time for Sunday morning,
and I'm trying to figure out how to do it.
I keep clicking on it. It's like, oh, that tea time.
You can't do that. You have to wait till at
least seven days out.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
Does Garrett have a computer at the grocery store or
is he just in the aisles. He's in the aisles, okay,
and so he can't book well.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
He's not booking for Batter's Box and myself, he doesn't
care about Batter's Box. He's not trying to help me out.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
So rather bag then play ball.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
He'd rather bag than ball. So it says you can
book a tea time for Sunday, May third, starting at
eight pm Central.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
WHOA are you sure Sundays May third? Yes? Continue on
Monday night at eight pm? Do that. I'm like, boom,
I'm on it. Don't worry, I'll get on there. I'll
get it. My name's Monday. I know how to have
a fun day.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
So I get the kids in bed seven point fifty
one pm and I go sit down on the couch
and I pull up the website and it says you
have been entered into the queue, not to pull up.
I'm like, wait a minute, there's a queue. Now I'm
in a waiting room.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
What are these walling tickets are in? Eighteen?
Speaker 1 (04:31):
It's eighteen holes, but it is hotter than a walling
ticket eighteen candles. And I got on there at seven
fifty one. I didn't realize there was a queue, or
else i'd have got on there right when the queue started.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Right, So I'm like, all right, here we go.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
Let's let's see what I'm gonna get. And I wait
in the queue and it has a little guy walking
on a green line. Guy walking on a green line.
Once it hits eight pm, it's like, all right, here
we go. Eight oh two.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Still not my turn.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
Eight oh three, not my turn, eight oh four, not
my turn, eighth five, not my turn?
Speaker 2 (05:01):
Eight oh six. You're almost there? Are you a him
or her?
Speaker 1 (05:05):
It's almost your turn? I prefer not to answer. There
is no time limit on your transaction, so no need
to rush. Once you get inside, just find the tea
time you would like, No problem, I will eight oh seven.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
Still not in eight oh eight, boom, it's your turn.
We're redirecting you to the website.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
And I'm wait, readal good, do not click on the
robot button, will relink to porn.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
And I said, all right, here we go. It says
tea time. I say start eight am, two golfers. Show
me what you got, show me the money, Show me
what you got. The earliest available tea time four fifty pm.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
Let's go. What's wronging that.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
My flight's at five forty five.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
You said you're gonna take a ten pm flight.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
I thought about switching it when I saw the tea
time set the timeline it works. I was eight minutes,
eight minutes into the tea times being allowed to be booked,
and the earliest time was four fifty pm.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
I tell you what it is, A virus grown across
this country, golf addiction, a disease. I was like, what
the crap?
Speaker 1 (06:25):
How is every tea time at every public course or
muni that is taken in the first eight minutes? Then
I'm online except for wait, what's this Lyons Municipal Oh.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
No no, no, no, no, no, no no no. I heard lot of
dirt there. I haven't played there in a long time.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
I've always wanted to get back and see if it's
as hard as I remember it, And I mean it
was so hard when I first started playing golf. I
haven't been back, but that is where Pac Green. I
was in the fair way. I think it was on
number four or five. The ball came rolling up under
my cart and we were over kind of the crust
of a hill, so he probably couldn't see us, and
(07:05):
I was like, man, what the heck I'm gonna say
something to this guy pulls up as Pat Green. I
was like, hey, good shot, man, waveon way.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Wave on way, wave on wave. Is he still doing that?
He's still singing? I just know. I went to Texas,
never heard of him. He was huge. South Beach introduced
him to me on the computer. Listened to him for
a while. The women made him go crazy. Oh go crazy.
Did you go to those concerts? Those girls were whoop
ray sopping.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
They were revving and ready to go anyway. So I'm like, oh,
let me get that eight am. Then that tea time
is not available. It's in use. Well, no it's not,
because I'm looking at it.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Click on it again.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
Nope, that tea time is not in use. I sat
there for twenty three minutes, tried to click on that
tea time, never got it, and uh yeah it didn't
work out. Someone paid for those four slots. So back
to the four fifty tea times. Then you have a
decision to make. Is it just over or do you
look at some of these private courses that aren't munis.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
You can't do that, don't you have to have membership? No? No, no,
these are just not munis. But you can play at him.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
You're not a member, so maybe you don't have the
proper like you know, they don't give you the good
tea time. So I'm like, all right, let me look.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
Is it like gay lord fokker, Yes, that's private, Well
it's privately owned, like you don't have to have a
membership to go there. But not asking if you're going
to trade stock coach, I'm not asking if it's a
private or public IPO. The hell are you talking about?
Play some golf? So I'm like, all right, batter's box.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
Let's see Forest Creek is up by where he lives
up there in Flugerville.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
I thought he lived in Houston. There's no tea times available?
Speaker 1 (08:49):
All right, cool man, cool, all right, let me check
out Star ranch. Let me check that one out at
earliest tea time availables three fifteen pm. Well, that's not
gonna work on my schedule.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Sundays are tough on my course. I don't even go
on the website to look because I know the answer.
On Saturday, I know the answer.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
I text Chess Day and I'm like, dude, how does
your cause his dad plays golf three or four times
a week, really good golfer, really good. And I said,
how the hell does your dad get tea times? He goes, Oh, man,
it's just it's a war zone out there. He doesn't
like the new system. He hadn't been getting the early
times that he likes. He's been having to go later
in the day some days.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
I'm like, oh, and I said, because I was on
here right at eight and I got nothing.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
Earliest available tea time four fifty. And he texted me back.
He goes, just checked with Pops. He said, it was
a bad day. They didn't get very many tea times either.
It was not a good night, not a good night.
They're very disappointed. Wait him and his crew, Yeah, his dad.
They have a bunch of them. They span out on
the computer and try to get tea times. And then
(09:51):
and he goes, but I do believe there's a resale
market where people will sell their tea times.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
Hey, man, I'll meet you in the back of the
parking lot. You got the tea time? Yeah, I've got
a cup of tea meet you there.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
So I said, man, will you give me that website?
He goes, let me check with my pops and see
where the website is. Ten minutes later he goes, just
talked with Pops confirmed there is no resale market for
the tea times.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
Like dang it. So now what do I do on
my course? You can play in thirty minutes if you
want to go play today.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
I'm not trying to play today because Batter's Box does
not live here. He can't make it here in thirty minutes.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
Okay on Sunday, yeah, just play hypotheticals. Okay, what time?
Say you're not going to Austin. Hypothetically you need to
play eight am on Sunday. Yeah, I can book it
right Nowugh, bro, they're crazy in Texas. That's a bunch
of site those people see Billy doesn't even talk about
(10:45):
now that just stan Skowski. They're not golfing as much
as they used to golf when we're in college. I
don't get how it's that popular there. Billy hasn't sent
me a golf text in a year.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
I think there's so many people that live there now
and there's not enough golf course. This is what the
what I'm getting because even Garrett says, dude, it is
so hard to get a tea time nowadays.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
So instead of Garrett building store displays at HB, why
doesn't he build a golf course? I agree?
Speaker 1 (11:14):
Why is he putting you know, all the cheese, the
what are they called cheddar cheese, crackers, cheese, it's on
the in cap. He should be building a sand bunker
and putting the flag on the side hill making it
impossible to make a putt.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
We get it produce on the right. Milk at the front,
so everybody has to go. Milk at the back, so
everybody has to go through the entire store before they
check out to just get the milk that they need.
We know all the tricks Garrett make a golf course.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
I mean, HB, what are you waiting on? You've got
all the grocery stores. You know how much money you
could be making on a golf course.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
I got the land two point three acres. They could
build some good old holes out there. Part three. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
So then I just keep looking and I finally find
a place called Plum Creek. It's down in I mean
we're talking south of town. We're talking like two hours
plumb out of Look, we're talking like two hours from
Battery Box's house.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
I think it's next to San Marcus though it really is.
And I said, hey, man, there's a teacher the Texas
State Golf Course. Dude, that's what we are almost down to.
I know, I can tell you all the place to hit.
On whole one, that sucker oll roll. You could roll
right past it. On the par four, you want to
keep it low and just let it ride, but you're
not going full swing. And then on whole two, a
little bit of a creek, but boy is it a shelf.
(12:32):
So as long as you can get it across the creek,
you're fine. It's tough to sit on top of the shelf.
Whole three, you're going back across that rais creek I
just told you about. But remember there's an a net
towards a parking lot, so you're not gonna want to
hit it over, hit it. You're gonna go in the
lot whole four. That same creek I mentioned before. It
runs through that one, so you can either lay up
or hit it all the way over it. If you do,
(12:54):
there's houses to the right. Oh hole five, co eds
wide open. You can just swing the crap out of it,
can go anyway, and you're still set up for probably
a birdie whole six. You're going continue.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
So I'm like plumb Creek man, two hours from your crib.
It's got an eight fifteen and eight fifty three, and
he goes, well, I mean, let's I guess we'll do
the eight fifty three after iHeart Festival. I said, you're
gonna have to pick me up at the hotel and.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
I'm gonna smell like tequila, and I need you to
get a design he at seven eleven or come and go, And.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
I said, I'm gonna need you to have the breakfast
tacos in the car, A one in a million. And
I said, if you if you're down to play at
eight fifty three, we will play it eight fifty three.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
And I'm with another woman. Don't tell my why, And.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
I said, I don't know how serious you are about this,
and he goes, well, yeah, if you want to play,
we'll play. So I don't know if he's excited or not.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
You can't be that is so much of a commitment.
What a drug to play golf? Yeah? I drive two minutes. Yeah,
you're about to drive two hours.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
He's driving two hours. I am not I two hours.
And then I said all right. I hung up, and
I talked to my wife about it. I'm like, man,
I'm excited about this. I just don't know. She goes,
how are your parents going to feel? I said, what
do you mean? She goes, well, now you won't be
able to see your parents because we're gonna be playing.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
Golf all day.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
And then by there it's an hour from their house
to from the Plumb Creek. I said, yeah, maybe they
can meet me at a restaurant by the airport. We
can have, you know, a quick bite before I go.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
So I call them.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
And I say, hey, look, I got some bad news.
You know how we're going to do the meet up
at your house and the sister was going to come
over with her kids and we're going to hang out
all day. Well didn't get to tea time until eight
fifty three hour away from your house. So if you
guys want to meet to eat, you know, that'd be great.
My mom's like, oh really, so you pick your brother
over us, and I want to get.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
A Southwest ticket to go have lunch with you.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
I said, this is the problem when it's coming to
town is you feel like you got to see all
these people and someone always feels left out. And so
my parents it's like, yeah, I guess you know, golf
is more important than hanging out with us.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
Kid, I'll be eating at that place with lemon moraine pie.
I'll leave a chair open. If you want to meet up,
you gonna pull up, gonna link up.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
And my dad was like, well, I've been trying to
call Keith to see if he wanted to come over too,
and I'm like, yeah, I'm sorry, and they're like.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
Oh no, it's okay. And I was like, see, this
is why, this is why I can't do this.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
This is why I can't. Then going back to Austin
is very stressful and they're like, ah, now we're to
screw with you, man, go apple and hit the golf ball.
We'll meet you for dinner. Well, to tell your sister
that we're gonna meet at a restaurant and eat. I'm like,
that's what I'm talking about, Mom and Dad.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
So eight fifty three Sunday we will be teeing off
at plumb Creek. Get ready, boys and girls, we're taking
over Butda or Kyle or whatever city it's in. I
just hope you play well. If you're driving two hours
outside of town, get one of the iHeart vehicles, say hey,
I'm heading to the stage and then oh, just a
little bit further. They'll drive you out there for free.
(15:57):
Unless it's just bonesho's got the chauffeur.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
Well, yeah he is Bobby, and Bobby won't drive me.
He'll be headed probably back to the airport, so Batter's
Box will pick me up. So it is free either
way for me. It is kind of out of his
way because he's gonna have to come in and then
out and then up and down. He could just take
the toll road, but that's not gonna work when he's
got to swing by downtown and pick me up.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
Well, in Austin, they got some great restaurants Terminal two.
Have your dad and mom meet you there. Really, there's
a good little ranch style place.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
Now, yeah, what'll take a break, man, But good news
is Batter's box. And I got a tea time for
Sunday morning. And Garrett, Greg and Jacob and I we
are supposed to play golf on Friday. We are supposed
to play in a private course kind of outside of town.
Got a nice, big old metal gate and you got
to hit the little.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
Keypad to let you in.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
It is a looking like one hundred percent chance of
rain on Friday, so we do not know what we're
gonna do.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
That sounds like a tornado.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
And I said, boys, we still got to drive out there,
and we got to take our chances, because an hour
outside Austin doesn't mean it's raining out there. If it's
raining in Austin. And they're like, man, we just go
hit on a simulator. I said, quit being a bunch ofes.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
Oh, simulator. I ain't gonna hit on a sim Beazer's
been trying to get me to do that for the
past two years. I ain't gonna do it.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
I'm like, quit being We'll go out there and we'll
figure it out. Bring an umbrella, damn it, and we'll
take a break.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
We'll right back. Holy hell, I don't know anything more.
Deserving of the A block on the times that you
tried to book a tea time. What do we got
for B block?
Speaker 1 (17:33):
Oh, we got to introduce the show man. We're gonna
start the Show's on the menu, Lunchbox, more frustration.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
In my life. I'm guessing iHeart Austin. You got shafted.
Your mom and dad are plumb out of luck. It's
either dad or darts on the green. And more of
a how many times Arnold and Abbey hook up every weekend?
It's on the menu.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
Man, That's not what it was on my menu. But
I mean you got you have a different menu. But
I got my frustration with the Nationale Soccer Club. I mean,
I'm a season ticket holder and what they do to me,
I just can't understand it.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
Let's not get political.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
I can't understand it. And then Baby Box's baseball career
almost came to an end yesterday.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
We could all only hope. Did I say all loud,
let's start the show. Yeah, we're gonna do it live.
We are the one two sow loser? What up? Everybody?
I am Lunchbox.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
I know the most about sports, so I give you
the sports facts, my sports opinions, because I'm pretty much
a sports.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
Genius, y'all. It's Sison. I'm from the North, alpha male,
live on the north side of town with Baser, two
point three acres, twenty three kids at Vanderbilt. Justin supposed
to be looking after him Nerdy Frosting. He now lives
in Michigan. He's got a loft downtown there Cascade Grand Rapids,
one of the two. Life looks great. He texts me
every night. He gets on our Facebook page and bashes
me about not having any friends, and then he'll text
(19:02):
me again after posting on the Facebook page. So I
don't know who's more lonely, me or him, but I'm
gonna vote him over to you, Coach. I just vented
that was your only event, man. That's all one line alone.
It was just basically and then he texted me and
Baser on Sunday morning basically making fun of us that
we don't have friends anymore. But we're like, I mean,
(19:23):
you haven't come across really that you've been, mister personnel
Bowle in Michigan, Like you're just out on the town
meeting people. I haven't seen one picture of you with
somebody that isn't your family member. I mean, I think
you're the one that's not meeting people. But then he
was happy that Dodd moved out. It was friend jealousy.
He was happy that Heather left, and he's also happy
(19:45):
that Angelina is out of our life since he was
out of our life. And then was there one more
I'm forgetting someone?
Speaker 1 (19:50):
Oh yeah, we don't talk about her anymore. We broke
up with her.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
No, no, no, it was it was Heather. It was
Eric and Anna, who I have to know my other
friend that moved out of town. How am I forgetting
this person South Beach? It wasn't South Beach. I was
the crazy one, the neighbor. It was three of our
friends have moved Heather, Eric and Anna, Justin. Justin already
(20:16):
thought of him as out a friend.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
Yeah, I mean I saw that post thought it was
a low blow because I remember I went to Boston
one year and he was living in Boston. I said, man,
how's it being going up here? He's like, man, I
haven't met anybody, so I don't know that he is
mister making friends right away. It takes a while. I
think he's a little nervous, little gunshot to go up
to dudes and ask for dude's numbers. But uh, more
(20:39):
numbers than he's gonna get with chicks.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
I'll tell you that.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
I guarantee you do you think he's cleaning up there? No,
I said, he's gonna get more dudes numbers. He's just
got to start asking chicks. They're not gonna want anything
to do with him right now.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
I will say in his favor, with the weather in Michigan,
this is the best time of the year to live
in Michigan. When he first moved there, he goes, why
did nobody tell me that it snowed in Michigan. It
was miserable the first three months, But now you're able
to get outside. You're on jogging trails, you got ponds, rivers, lakes,
all kinds of beautiful areas got You're out getting fro
Yo ice cream. There at a nice, beautiful little city
(21:10):
town Michigan. This is it Lake Michigan. This is where
you're throwing a football like American pie and you hit
a girl on the tits and next thing you know,
you're married to her. So that's up to him. He's
got to get to Grand Haven. He knows where all
the spots are. Justin You're not gonna want to stay
in Grand Rapids. You want to get over there to
Lake Michigan. All those spots that are lined up more
more past Gun Lake. You're gonna go even past Grand Haven.
(21:32):
You want to get all the way to Lake Michigan.
And it is just it's gonna be boat week. It's
gonna be the Armed Forces week. This is the time
to meet people. Get out there, get a bathing suit,
get some sun, and there you go over to you man.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
Yeah, so Nashville, I see, man, they've been having a
great year, best year so far in their club's history.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
They've only lost one game.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
They're in this UH champions con Champions League and they're
in the semi finals and they're playing t Grays at
in Nashville for the first leg of the thing.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
What is the tournament called? Is it the Conch Calf
Conga Calf Champions League.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
But that sounds like when we were in the Mini
and we had Conch. It does, but this is much
better and all that Conch was amazing. Anyway, as a
season ticket member, they usually give you the option, do
you want the tickets this round of the whatever special
tournament is, or do you not. And I guess I
missed the email where they said that I had an option,
because all I did was get an email says you've
(22:32):
been charged for the semi final tickets.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
They're guaranteed. It's on the weeknight.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
Oh, it's definitely on last night, Tuesday night at seven
thirty pm.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
Can I know the regular season games are always on Saturday? Correct?
Can they do these stupid weird tournaments during the week.
They make no sense.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
So I'm like, listen, boys, on Saturday, we ended up
not going to the game. We were supposed to go
to the game. We're having so much fun at what
we were doing.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
We didn't leave, and.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
I was like, you know what, no matter what, we're
going Tuesday. We're going Tuesday night. It's a school night,
but that's all right. We'll stay up late, we'll go
to the game. It'll be awesome, peanuts and lemonade for everybody.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
Okay, Dad, I can't wait. I can't wait.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
So yesterday school ends.
Speaker 4 (23:14):
Oh my gosh, Dad, We're going to the Nashville Sea
game tonight. We're going to the NSC game tonight. Woo woo,
can't wait, don't want to miss it. Then, Babybox has
baseball practice. He does baseball practice, and afterwards they see
a couple of friends. They start playing wiffle ball at
the ballpark.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
And Baby Box twos like, Dad, just let us know
when we need to go whatever we need to whenever
we need to leave.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
We're ready to leaguers. We don't want to miss the
NSC game. Glorified babysitter you are.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
And I'm like, all right, yeah, dude, no problem. And
then I look up at the sky and it's starting
to get windy and it's starting to get dark, and
it's like five thirty games at seven thirty. I was
all right, boys, we gotta go them and eat dinner.
We gotta go home and eat dinner. All right, all right,
(24:02):
let's go, let's go. We head home, get home. We're
eating dinner, and I'm like, boys, I got some bad news.
We might not be going to the game tonight.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
Your dad may melt you sideway are going.
Speaker 4 (24:14):
To the game?
Speaker 2 (24:15):
You lied? You lied, You're a liar.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
Blame God, I said, listen, boys, I I don't control
the weather, but it looks like it's gonna storm out there.
But Dad, if it's just raining, who cares? Who cares
about rain.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
And it was dark. I'm with you on this one, Dad.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
I said, well, guys, I don't really want to sit
in the rain, and that doesn't seem like very much fun.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
We'll be soaking wet.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
Then baby Box two hits me with but Dad, but Dad,
I said a prayer, and I'm like, what do you mean?
Speaker 2 (24:49):
He goes, I prayed. I told God. I said, hey, God,
please let it not rain so we can go to
the National SC game.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
And then baby Box three is like, well you got
to say more than that, and baby Box, dude, do
I really do? What else do I need to say?
Dad like, was that not long enough? Can you not
hear me? If I didn't say a long enough prayer?
I'm like, no, no, no, But that was fine. You're fine,
It's okay.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
It won't be answered. And I said some of the
God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers.
Speaker 1 (25:16):
He's like, Dad, what do you mean? I was like,
let me play the song for you. Played the song
for him, and he's like, I don't understand. I'm not
all prayers come true. They're not all granted. But that's
basically what the song is saying. And it's okay, and
we're eating dinner and it's like six thirty and it
was getting dark. Boy, what is this some song?
Speaker 2 (25:43):
What are you doing? It says lightning Strike.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
That is the second time you've played that, and it's
nothing to do with the weather.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
I hate to take from your story, but I'm not
when I say this, I'm not even joking. Somebody deleted
my Lightning Strikes and then somebody deleted our crime scene music.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
Oh it's so annoying because these sound effects would really
add to it.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
Right here.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
We may win a podcast award if you had to.
As I'm talking, because we're sitting at dinner in it outside,
I said, oh, boys, I don't know. That doesn't look good.
And my wife's like, let me look online. Of course,
Nashville I see is still saying game can't wait, showing
pictures of the guys getting out of their cars walking in.
(26:25):
It's game day in Nationale. They're not mentioning anything about
the weather. They're not saying anything about oh it might
be delayed even though it's outside.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
All right, cool man, Yeah that's what it's doing. I
was like, yeah, boy, that's a rap. Doesn't look like
we're going to the game tonight. They're like why, And
I'm like, guys listening to outside babybox ones, like I
did hear that? I did hear that?
Speaker 1 (26:52):
And he goes, it's supposed to storm all night, so
maybe it'll storm all night and I'll have to play tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
We go tomorrow, smart.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
He goes, but what happens if they play while we're
in school? Would we still go to the game? Same
amount of people? Those games are hurting, aren't they? They do,
put them up, will give them props. Wh I'm driving home,
they put it on the billboard. If we won, that's great. Yeah,
it's great, I mean advertised, that's yeah. Not I mean
football is gonna be taking over in the fall.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
Do you better take the summer?
Speaker 1 (27:18):
Yeah, well, summer's gonna be World Cup, so we're gonna
take the summer off.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
We won't have any games. Whoa, we got some of
those Mexico games here. I don't know what we know.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
We don't have any games here but in Atlanta. But
the World Cup is in the United States and we
will not be having MLS games at that time.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
Fun.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
So then we put the boys to bed and I
look online and it's like, oh, the game is delayed.
Not going to start till at least eight thirty because
of severe weather in the area. MI see that game
would have been in in at eleven pm. Kids couldn't
have made it great idea not to go, And I
wasted all that money.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
I was gonna say, you're burying the lead. How much
were you out? I was out two hundred and ninety
five dollars. Tell me how it pays off to get
season tickets, because I'm not seeing it. I'm not sure
when MESSI comes to town and you can scalp them
(28:13):
for a thousand. Yes. Other than that, I have no
idea why you wouldn't just get them day of game
Saturday night. Your board as hell, let's go, CSC.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
I'm starting to think that way. Also, I'm starting to
feel the exact same way you are, because this being
automatically charged two hundred and ninety five dollars. Then in
the bad weather, so we didn't even get to go,
and I don't even know that I had an option
to say I didn't want the tickets.
Speaker 2 (28:39):
Well, and I SC I have a bone to pick
with them as well. They gave me free tickets last year. Yeah,
I didn't go. I turned around and scalped them and
made like sixty to one hundred dollars this year. They said, hey,
we're giving you more free tickets. Yeah, what's your email?
I gave it to them. They never sent me the
free tickets. I wasn't gonna go. I was gonna scalp them.
But it's the principle of it. But did you already
did you use the same email address? Yeah, they know that.
(29:01):
I'm still thinking about being a season ticket holder.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
But if you've already this is for first time fans.
If you use the same email address, they know they
already sent you tickets, and then you've already been to
a game.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
Well, I wasn't going to keep the tickets. They understand. Yeah,
they were going to change hands very quickly. But I'm
still wondering why they didn't send me those free tickets.
I would have at least thought about it. I just
told you why. So I watched it here, I'm going
to do a new email.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
Yeah, so I watched it from the couch. We lost
one nothing to Tea Grays, and now we got to
go down to Mexico next Tuesday. It's going to be
very almost impossible to win. We've got to win the
game and then we have a chance to advance. But
if we don't win, we don't advance. The tie does
this no good? We got to go balls of the wall.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
What city is Tea Grase? Hopefully on Porta Vierta. I
don't know where Tea Grays is.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
If someone can tell me where t Grays is, I
have no idea, don't even know if it's in Mexico City,
if it's in Rainosa.
Speaker 2 (29:55):
And that's about the only ones I know. We're thinking
about Cabo this summer. And Bazer goes, no, I'm not
doing Mexico. And I said, the Porta Vierta thing where
they had tankers turned over and guys were bombing each other,
that was that's over. That's how I've cleaned it up.
Now they've done a bunch of recycling, a bunch of
street clean up stuff. Mexico's back open, really.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
Because I mean, heck, from the ice storm, there's still
branches in my neighborhood. So Mexico's a lot faster than
we are.
Speaker 2 (30:21):
We're going to Mexico. I told her, I don't know
what you've seen in the news about all these cartels.
I mean, we're going we're taking our playing cartels, taking
my cards to the Mexico. We're going to Mexico.
Speaker 1 (30:35):
Well, I'm not going to Mexico. And I didn't get
to go to the game last night, but I paid
two hundred ninety five dollars to watch it on my
TV cartels.
Speaker 2 (30:41):
Well, I'm gonna find a car and tell them to
take me to the nearest bar. Senior Frogs. We'll take
a break. We'll be right back.
Speaker 3 (30:54):
There.
Speaker 1 (30:55):
Oh man, I thought I thought the career was over
last night. Man, baby box the Los Angeles Dodgers. They
had practiced last night from four to five pm.
Speaker 2 (31:06):
Oh Tani randomly didn't play. Really yeah, Justin picked him
and beat the streak and he went, oh for oh ah,
but smart pick Justin. He didn't even play.
Speaker 1 (31:15):
Yeah, it's a little worry something that he could have
pinched hit. He'd been over one streak over. Man, gotta
check that starting lineup, bro, gotta check the starting lineup.
But he had practice from four to five, and so
we show up and get out there and he's warming up,
playing good. Then they're running some drills and practice him
throwing the first all this stuff, taking ground balls, everything's
(31:38):
going out great, everything's fine. He's loving baseball. And then
they're like, all right, we're gonna hit a little bit
and they started signing positions.
Speaker 2 (31:45):
They say, baby Box, go to first base, that's where
you want.
Speaker 1 (31:49):
And I'm like, okay, he's gonna love first base. He's
gonna absolutely just eat it up over there.
Speaker 2 (31:55):
The next Andre's Goalaraga. The Big Cat, dude, that's a
great nickname, the Big Box. The Big Cat was he
was my favorite player. Dude. I wish I would have
been the Big Cat. But now there's this dumb ass
at barstool named Big Cat. Dude. It would have been
the best radio name ever. Why did I not go
by Big Cat growing up? I did. When I played,
they called me Big Cat, but then I just randomly
(32:16):
ended the nickname and then biggest Dude ever. Big Cats
all over barstool rest is history. I can never use
the nickname. Well, you could be the crime dog. Fred
McGriff basically tell your kid to come up with an
amazing nickname just so somebody at barstool or Pat McAfee,
somebody doesn't steal the nickname and it becomes more famous
than you. Because then you can never use the nickname
or it seems like you're ripping it off from some
(32:37):
other guy. I guarantee you I had the nickname big
Cat before big Cat at barstool. But he gets it,
and he gets all the notoriety. That's fine. That's neither
here nor there.
Speaker 1 (32:46):
It doesn't bother you or anything, does it.
Speaker 2 (32:48):
I kicked myself every day that I didn't continue that
nickname from first grade baby boxes age. Why did I
not continue that? Because I would have been the big
cat bones. Let's go in the glass room. That's a
big cat. What's up, guys? I mean, dude, and we
would have done Hey, we'll do it.
Speaker 4 (33:05):
Lie.
Speaker 2 (33:06):
We're the one, two, three sore losers.
Speaker 1 (33:10):
What's up everybody? I'm lunchbox from and I know the
most about sports. I'll give you a sports facts, my
sports opinions, because I'm pretty much a sports genius.
Speaker 2 (33:18):
What up, y'all? It's big Cat. I'm from the North.
Oh my god, dude, that would have been. That was
so much more epic, or I just start going eat
it by it. You gotta start sometime.
Speaker 1 (33:28):
I mean, we would be so much more memorable, Like
people would remember our podcast more. We'd probably have more
downloads and you'd be like, my name is big Cat.
Speaker 2 (33:35):
I got a cat named Piper. But they just don't
know the history of it. The only people that could
bag me up to my family that he was my favorite.
Everybody else is gonna think I'm ana rip off.
Speaker 1 (33:44):
No, we can just have a drop from your brother
where he says, yeah, we used to call him big cat.
Speaker 2 (33:48):
Uh not much for words.
Speaker 1 (33:50):
Okay, we can go to Muff and Muff be like, yeah,
he used to be called big cat.
Speaker 2 (33:54):
Okay, could have had it.
Speaker 1 (33:56):
Okay, But anyway, back to practice, man, So the head
coach wasn't there. He was out of town doing something.
I don't know what he was doing, but he was gone.
So you had the two assistant coaches out there and
first batter up, you know, hits a little dribbler down
on the third base line and no one is hustling
to get it, and baby Box has got his foot
on the base. So one of the coaches goes over
(34:16):
there and grabs it and he throws a strike the
first and baby Box has got the glove out. I mean,
I'm like, oh, this guy's gonna be out.
Speaker 2 (34:27):
Not sure what.
Speaker 1 (34:28):
He did, not sure if he took his eye off
of it. I'm not sure if he moved his glove,
if he blinked, or what happened, but the glove, the
ball sailed past the glove and don't right.
Speaker 2 (34:45):
Off his head?
Speaker 1 (34:46):
Oh no, right off his head. And I was sitting,
you know, kind of in the stands, and I was like, oh, oh,
I didn't know if it his eye, I didn't know
if it his mouth, his nose. And he immediately flings
the glove off somehow he spits his gum out.
Speaker 2 (35:07):
And he ah, I want to go home. I want
to go home. I want to go home. I want
to go to the SC game. I want to go home.
Speaker 1 (35:15):
And I run out there and he sits down and
I'm talking to him. I'm like, it's okay, Bud, it's okay,
it's okay, it's okay.
Speaker 2 (35:21):
The coach. Did they allow you on the field. Yeah,
it was just practice, correct. Did they allow you on it?
They did? The coach that threw the ball. I'm the dad,
I'm the dad. He comes running over.
Speaker 1 (35:33):
He's like, I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry.
It's like, it's okay, it's just baseball, man, it happens.
You're gonna get hit by the ball once or twice.
You're gonna get hit by the ball. It's okay. I'm
just so sorry. I feel so bad. I feel so bad.
I'm like, don't sitting on you.
Speaker 2 (35:47):
Was it a straight throw or a faery throw?
Speaker 1 (35:50):
No, it was a straight throw. And I was like, hey, Bud,
where did it hit you? And I don't see any blood,
so that's good. There's no busted nose, busted lip.
Speaker 2 (35:56):
You want blood to make sure things are functioning as designed. Oh,
I don't know. I got hit in the head multiple times.
And Fred Heather's son just got drilled right in the face.
Kids are fine.
Speaker 1 (36:07):
Yeah, And so it turns out it drilled him straight
in the left ear.
Speaker 2 (36:11):
He'll he honestly will have some numbing. He's fine, he's
I mean, we never thought he's gonna be Harvard or Yale.
I think he'll be fine.
Speaker 1 (36:19):
And it's like I want to go home, and I'm like,
it's okay, Bud, it's okay. Let's take a breath, and
he couldn't take a breath. Let's go for a walk,
Let's go walk around the outfield, Let's go on ice cream.
And so we go walk around the outfield, he I
just want to sit down. I want to sit down.
I'm like, all right, So we sit down and he's
just and it's like it's okay, Bud, it's okay. And
he's like, I just want to go home. I was like,
(36:40):
do you want to get back out in the field.
Speaker 2 (36:42):
No? No, no, And I'm like, oh no, that's how
he ended his career.
Speaker 1 (36:46):
I was like, baseball is over, man, baseball is over
for baby Box. And I'm like, you want to bat
out of this guy?
Speaker 2 (36:53):
You can bat? He goes no, no, no, no, I
just want to go home. I just want to go home.
Speaker 1 (36:57):
Then one of the moms, miss miss you know Mayberry,
she brings out this freaking ice pack. Whoa man put
it on his ear and he holds it there for
a while and he starts to calm down.
Speaker 2 (37:08):
Would you mind making sure it's cold on your chest,
to make sure it's not too cold? She see how
cold it is. We put it right there. Oh well yeah,
your nipples are shining through. It's cold enough. You can
put it on your ear now. She's like, this thing
is freezing. I'm gonna put it on his eye right now.
I got it from the cooler. We can tell Ice cold.
Speaker 1 (37:28):
Yeah, head lights are working. Can you turn your lights on?
Because I can't see his ear? Can you shine your
light right over here?
Speaker 2 (37:38):
Thank you. She's bent over trying to heal him. Mama,
well I've been healed. How are you doing? Mayberry? And
I'm like, son, we may have thought of something here,
lay down, And so.
Speaker 1 (37:54):
Then he's just like I was like, you wanna get
you want to you want to hit next?
Speaker 2 (37:57):
No? No, I just want to go sit in the
dug out. I want to go sit in the out.
Speaker 1 (38:01):
I'm like, all right, and I just know the best
way to get over it is to get back out there.
You got to get him out there. So he's not
thinking about it.
Speaker 2 (38:08):
Ice creamer an sc game, He'll forget about it right away.
Speaker 1 (38:11):
And the coach is like, do you like gatorade? Do
you like gatorade? What color gatorade do you want?
Speaker 2 (38:14):
You want? Red?
Speaker 1 (38:15):
Okay, okay. So he calls his wife and says, hey,
when you come back to pick us up, will you
bring a red gatorade for him? And he sits in
there for a minute. A couple of batters go up
and he's like, batter the box.
Speaker 2 (38:26):
What if everybody that's a batter's box here with.
Speaker 1 (38:28):
Us, and he's like, Dad, I think I'm ready to
hit now. And he goes up and he hit, and
then he went back in the field.
Speaker 2 (38:36):
And coach hit him with another ferry ball. Nope.
Speaker 1 (38:39):
And he played the rest of the practice. We went home,
showed mom he was great, and when we went to bed,
he goes, Dad, can I tell you something? I said, yeah, Bud,
and he goes, man, I'm glad that didn't happen at
a game. I'm like why, and he goes, I'd have
been more embarrassed. I'm like, why, why would you be embarrassed?
(39:01):
But you know you just missed it happened. He goes, well,
because there'd have been a lot more parents there, there
had been another team there, and they all would have
been looking at me.
Speaker 2 (39:08):
I'd have been more embarrassed. The would have been that
homeless guy digging through the trash.
Speaker 1 (39:12):
And I said it's okay, and I said, you still
want to play baseball?
Speaker 2 (39:16):
He goes yeah.
Speaker 1 (39:17):
I said, see, I mean it shows it hurts. It
hurts to get hit by the ball. I'm not gonna
lie to you. It hurts really bad. But now you
know that it doesn't hurt forever. It hurts for a
little bit, but it doesn't hurt forever. And he goes, yeah,
good night, Dad. I said, good night, son, and I thought,
and so he's gonna keep playing baseball, Dad.
Speaker 2 (39:36):
It wouldn't have hurt as much if it was a
soft soccer ball. I should have been playing your sport.
Speaker 1 (39:41):
Yeah, so baby Box will continue to play baseball.
Speaker 2 (39:45):
And you guys have a great Wednesday. I mean, baby

Speaker 2 (41:00):
That wasn't good. That's what's our mascot? A music note
tempo tempo. You gotta beat.
Speaker 4 (41:09):
Me.
Speaker 2 (41:10):
No, I'm not let's go tempo. No. You don't cheer
for the mascot? Yeah, yeah, And I figured you didn't.
Speaker 1 (41:19):
You didn't have anything to say because the Spurs advanced,
and you don't want to talk about Spurs because you
hate the Spurs.
Speaker 2 (41:23):
So go Spurs Go. Wimby is a freak Spurs are great.
Let's go. Who do they got now? Is it the Thunder? No? Yeah,
we don't play the Thunder Thetle finals. Okay, you're lucky, lucky,
they're lucky. Why are we lucky? Why can they not
be lucky? No, I'm just saying you need to get
your nuts under you a little bit and then you
(41:44):
could give Thunder a run. Oh, we can give the
Thunder a run. You really don't know who you play?
NXT No, no one's advanced. Do they reseed in the NBA? No,
NBA playoffs, not the NFL.
Speaker 1 (41:56):
We play either the Timberwolves or the Nugget.
Speaker 2 (42:00):
That's who we play. No one's advanced.
Speaker 1 (42:01):
You go, but you said who do you play? And
I don't know because they haven't advanced.
Speaker 2 (42:05):
You're gonna Yep, you're gonna play. You're gonna play Denver. Nope, up,
you're gonna play Minnesota.
Speaker 1 (42:10):
Ant Man's out, man, that's right, You're gonna play Denver
and Devenceenzo out.
Speaker 2 (42:16):
But Minnesota's up three too. You're gonna play the t Wolves.
Oh okay, all right, the Thunder get Lebron and his kid.
They're about the works Brody.
Speaker 1 (42:26):
Yeah, Hey, how about the How about the Pistons, Man.
Speaker 2 (42:30):
Oh, could I hate Detroit?
Speaker 1 (42:31):
They can't shoot, Man, they can't shoot in Orlandos taking
it to them.
Speaker 2 (42:35):
We really gotta go man. Oh, Celtics are about to
get beat by the Sixers. Yeah, they're up three to two. Yeah,
you're right, dude. You don't have to play the Thunder
till the finals. Yeah, I know that'll be dirty. It'll
be dirt.
Speaker 1 (42:48):
That'll be must watch TV, and it'll be in a
reasonable time. It won't be playing a West Coast team,
so it won't be so freaking late.
Speaker 3 (42:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (42:55):
This Lakers Rockets, Oh my, the Thunder.
Speaker 1 (42:58):
Hadn't played in about six I mean, what, dude, That
dude has gone off the deep end.
Speaker 2 (43:02):
That dude has gone off the deep When I turned
on ESPN and Lebron's throwing oops to his son like
they're in the backyard. That has happened to the NBA.
What are we doing? They're about to get housed by
forty every game to the Thunder. What are the Rockets doing?
Lebron's throwing an oop to his infant son right over
(43:26):
the top of every defender. I'm not about the play's awesome.
The fact that he's playing with his son. Is awesome,
but guys, how do you let that happen? Like that
would be like me getting crushed by you and baby
box I would swap the crap out of him, like
(43:46):
oh ah right, yeah, just we gotta go, We gotta go.
Happy Friday. Ah, it's not Friday, man, It's only Wednesday.
It is hump Day.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
We need to bring that back. Nobody says hump Day anymore. Nobody.
Speaker 1 (00:10):
I say to my wife, but that's on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday,
Saturday and Sunday. And she only agrees to it, usually
on Sunday.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
So I'm always like, hey, today's good day for Humpday. Ignored. Hey,
today's good day for Humpday. Ignored.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
Finally, on the seventh one, she's like, fine, we can
do Humpday on.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
The seventh day. You must rest coacher. Oh is that
what they say? How the hell have you been? Man?
Speaker 1 (00:39):
Man, I'm a little frustrated. I'm a little I gotta
be honest with you because the world has made it
more difficult than ever to get a tea time to
play golf with your family members. When you're going to
Austin and you're gonna see your family and you want
to hang out with your brother and you want to
play eighteen holes of golf, it should be so simple.
(01:01):
Hey dad, No, I'm not talking about playing golf with
my dad. I'm talking about playing golf with Batter's.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
Box does your dad play.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
He played a few times, like fifteen years ago when
we'd go play, but now he does not play.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
No, dang, yeah, see I wish he played. That'd be funny.
We went and played one time in Arizona. We went
to see my uncle, uncle Doug, and we were on
the first tea box and old Pops didn't wear golf
shoes jockstrap and it was a little dewey on the
first tee and he swung and what on his ass?
(01:37):
I bet he's still filling that one. It was pretty bad. So, No,
he hadn't played in a while.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
And maybe I should have invited him to play golf
with my brother and myself on Sunday. But I just
feel like he doesn't enjoy it. He gets tired, it's
not really fun for him. But maybe he would have
enjoyed hanging out with his sons. Man, now that you
say that, I feel bad.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
I just didn't know if he was on the circuit
with you, because you have your homies that you roll with.
I didn't know if he was part of the Garrett
clan for lack of a better group term.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
No, it's Garrett Greg Jacob. No, he is not part
of that group. But anyway, so Sunday, we are trying
to play.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
Golf before work on Monday.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
Yes, Sunday, boy, you crazy. I'm trying to play early
in the morning. My flight is at like five point
fifteen five point forty five ish on Sunday. I thought
about taking the ten pm flight getting back at twelve
fifteen am, but I felt like that was pretty stupid
and irresponsible and I'd be exhausted.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
That's getting all the orange juice out of the orange
one hundred.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
You gotta squeeze it. It both ends. When you go to Austin.
You gotta see friends, gotta see family, Gotta do a
little bit of work in between. Gotta suck that orange dry.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
Make sure the banana's gone.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
So the Austin Municipal Golf System, they have a new
way of booking a tea time. You can no longer
call and get it tea time. You can never go
in person and get a tee time. You have to
go online and book a tea time.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
Yeah, that's what I do at the Muni.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
And they don't do that at the Muni's here. They
never did in Austin. Now it's new. They have this
whole system. They redevelop their website, revamped it. Now you
can book tea times.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
Great.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
So I'm trying to get a t time for Sunday morning,
and I'm trying to figure out how to do it.
I keep clicking on it. It's like, oh, that tea time.
You can't do that. You have to wait till at
least seven days out.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
Does Garrett have a computer at the grocery store or
is he just in the aisles. He's in the aisles, okay,
and so he can't book well.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
He's not booking for Batter's Box and myself, he doesn't
care about Batter's Box. He's not trying to help me out.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
So rather bag then play ball.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
He'd rather bag than ball. So it says you can
book a tea time for Sunday, May third, starting at
eight pm Central.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
WHOA are you sure Sundays May third? Yes? Continue on
Monday night at eight pm? Do that. I'm like, boom,
I'm on it. Don't worry, I'll get on there. I'll
get it. My name's Monday. I know how to have
a fun day.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
So I get the kids in bed seven point fifty
one pm and I go sit down on the couch
and I pull up the website and it says you
have been entered into the queue, not to pull up.
I'm like, wait a minute, there's a queue. Now I'm
in a waiting room.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
What are these walling tickets are in? Eighteen?
Speaker 1 (04:31):
It's eighteen holes, but it is hotter than a walling
ticket eighteen candles. And I got on there at seven
fifty one. I didn't realize there was a queue, or
else i'd have got on there right when the queue started.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Right, So I'm like, all right, here we go.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
Let's let's see what I'm gonna get. And I wait
in the queue and it has a little guy walking
on a green line. Guy walking on a green line.
Once it hits eight pm, it's like, all right, here
we go. Eight oh two.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Still not my turn.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
Eight oh three, not my turn, eight oh four, not
my turn, eighth five, not my turn?
Speaker 2 (05:01):
Eight oh six. You're almost there? Are you a him
or her?
Speaker 1 (05:05):
It's almost your turn? I prefer not to answer. There
is no time limit on your transaction, so no need
to rush. Once you get inside, just find the tea
time you would like, No problem, I will eight oh seven.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
Still not in eight oh eight, boom, it's your turn.
We're redirecting you to the website.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
And I'm wait, readal good, do not click on the
robot button, will relink to porn.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
And I said, all right, here we go. It says
tea time. I say start eight am, two golfers. Show
me what you got, show me the money, Show me
what you got. The earliest available tea time four fifty pm.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
Let's go. What's wronging that.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
My flight's at five forty five.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
You said you're gonna take a ten pm flight.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
I thought about switching it when I saw the tea
time set the timeline it works. I was eight minutes,
eight minutes into the tea times being allowed to be booked,
and the earliest time was four fifty pm.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
I tell you what it is, A virus grown across
this country, golf addiction, a disease. I was like, what
the crap?
Speaker 1 (06:25):
How is every tea time at every public course or
muni that is taken in the first eight minutes? Then
I'm online except for wait, what's this Lyons Municipal Oh.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
No no, no, no, no, no, no no no. I heard lot of
dirt there. I haven't played there in a long time.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
I've always wanted to get back and see if it's
as hard as I remember it, And I mean it
was so hard when I first started playing golf. I
haven't been back, but that is where Pac Green. I
was in the fair way. I think it was on
number four or five. The ball came rolling up under
my cart and we were over kind of the crust
of a hill, so he probably couldn't see us, and
(07:05):
I was like, man, what the heck I'm gonna say
something to this guy pulls up as Pat Green. I
was like, hey, good shot, man, waveon way.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Wave on way, wave on wave. Is he still doing that?
He's still singing? I just know. I went to Texas,
never heard of him. He was huge. South Beach introduced
him to me on the computer. Listened to him for
a while. The women made him go crazy. Oh go crazy.
Did you go to those concerts? Those girls were whoop
ray sopping.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
They were revving and ready to go anyway. So I'm like, oh,
let me get that eight am. Then that tea time
is not available. It's in use. Well, no it's not,
because I'm looking at it.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Click on it again.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
Nope, that tea time is not in use. I sat
there for twenty three minutes, tried to click on that
tea time, never got it, and uh yeah it didn't
work out. Someone paid for those four slots. So back
to the four fifty tea times. Then you have a
decision to make. Is it just over or do you
look at some of these private courses that aren't munis.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
You can't do that, don't you have to have membership? No? No, no,
these are just not munis. But you can play at him.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
You're not a member, so maybe you don't have the
proper like you know, they don't give you the good
tea time. So I'm like, all right, let me look.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
Is it like gay lord fokker, Yes, that's private, Well
it's privately owned, like you don't have to have a
membership to go there. But not asking if you're going
to trade stock coach, I'm not asking if it's a
private or public IPO. The hell are you talking about?
Play some golf? So I'm like, all right, batter's box.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
Let's see Forest Creek is up by where he lives
up there in Flugerville.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
I thought he lived in Houston. There's no tea times available?
Speaker 1 (08:49):
All right, cool man, cool, all right, let me check
out Star ranch. Let me check that one out at
earliest tea time availables three fifteen pm. Well, that's not
gonna work on my schedule.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Sundays are tough on my course. I don't even go
on the website to look because I know the answer.
On Saturday, I know the answer.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
I text Chess Day and I'm like, dude, how does
your cause his dad plays golf three or four times
a week, really good golfer, really good. And I said,
how the hell does your dad get tea times? He goes, Oh, man,
it's just it's a war zone out there. He doesn't
like the new system. He hadn't been getting the early
times that he likes. He's been having to go later
in the day some days.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
I'm like, oh, and I said, because I was on
here right at eight and I got nothing.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
Earliest available tea time four fifty. And he texted me back.
He goes, just checked with Pops. He said, it was
a bad day. They didn't get very many tea times either.
It was not a good night, not a good night.
They're very disappointed. Wait him and his crew, Yeah, his dad.
They have a bunch of them. They span out on
the computer and try to get tea times. And then
(09:51):
and he goes, but I do believe there's a resale
market where people will sell their tea times.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
Hey, man, I'll meet you in the back of the
parking lot. You got the tea time? Yeah, I've got
a cup of tea meet you there.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
So I said, man, will you give me that website?
He goes, let me check with my pops and see
where the website is. Ten minutes later he goes, just
talked with Pops confirmed there is no resale market for
the tea times.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
Like dang it. So now what do I do on
my course? You can play in thirty minutes if you
want to go play today.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
I'm not trying to play today because Batter's Box does
not live here. He can't make it here in thirty minutes.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
Okay on Sunday, yeah, just play hypotheticals. Okay, what time?
Say you're not going to Austin. Hypothetically you need to
play eight am on Sunday. Yeah, I can book it
right Nowugh, bro, they're crazy in Texas. That's a bunch
of site those people see Billy doesn't even talk about
(10:45):
now that just stan Skowski. They're not golfing as much
as they used to golf when we're in college. I
don't get how it's that popular there. Billy hasn't sent
me a golf text in a year.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
I think there's so many people that live there now
and there's not enough golf course. This is what the
what I'm getting because even Garrett says, dude, it is
so hard to get a tea time nowadays.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
So instead of Garrett building store displays at HB, why
doesn't he build a golf course? I agree?
Speaker 1 (11:14):
Why is he putting you know, all the cheese, the
what are they called cheddar cheese, crackers, cheese, it's on
the in cap. He should be building a sand bunker
and putting the flag on the side hill making it
impossible to make a putt.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
We get it produce on the right. Milk at the front,
so everybody has to go. Milk at the back, so
everybody has to go through the entire store before they
check out to just get the milk that they need.
We know all the tricks Garrett make a golf course.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
I mean, HB, what are you waiting on? You've got
all the grocery stores. You know how much money you
could be making on a golf course.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
I got the land two point three acres. They could
build some good old holes out there. Part three. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
So then I just keep looking and I finally find
a place called Plum Creek. It's down in I mean
we're talking south of town. We're talking like two hours
plumb out of Look, we're talking like two hours from
Battery Box's house.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
I think it's next to San Marcus though it really is.
And I said, hey, man, there's a teacher the Texas
State Golf Course. Dude, that's what we are almost down to.
I know, I can tell you all the place to hit.
On whole one, that sucker oll roll. You could roll
right past it. On the par four, you want to
keep it low and just let it ride, but you're
not going full swing. And then on whole two, a
little bit of a creek, but boy is it a shelf.
(12:32):
So as long as you can get it across the creek,
you're fine. It's tough to sit on top of the shelf.
Whole three, you're going back across that rais creek I
just told you about. But remember there's an a net
towards a parking lot, so you're not gonna want to
hit it over, hit it. You're gonna go in the
lot whole four. That same creek I mentioned before. It
runs through that one, so you can either lay up
or hit it all the way over it. If you do,
(12:54):
there's houses to the right. Oh hole five, co eds
wide open. You can just swing the crap out of it,
can go anyway, and you're still set up for probably
a birdie whole six. You're going continue.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
So I'm like plumb Creek man, two hours from your crib.
It's got an eight fifteen and eight fifty three, and
he goes, well, I mean, let's I guess we'll do
the eight fifty three after iHeart Festival. I said, you're
gonna have to pick me up at the hotel and.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
I'm gonna smell like tequila, and I need you to
get a design he at seven eleven or come and go, And.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
I said, I'm gonna need you to have the breakfast
tacos in the car, A one in a million. And
I said, if you if you're down to play at
eight fifty three, we will play it eight fifty three.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
And I'm with another woman. Don't tell my why, And.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
I said, I don't know how serious you are about this,
and he goes, well, yeah, if you want to play,
we'll play. So I don't know if he's excited or not.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
You can't be that is so much of a commitment.
What a drug to play golf? Yeah? I drive two minutes. Yeah,
you're about to drive two hours.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
He's driving two hours. I am not I two hours.
And then I said all right. I hung up, and
I talked to my wife about it. I'm like, man,
I'm excited about this. I just don't know. She goes,
how are your parents going to feel? I said, what
do you mean? She goes, well, now you won't be
able to see your parents because we're gonna be playing.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
Golf all day.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
And then by there it's an hour from their house
to from the Plumb Creek. I said, yeah, maybe they
can meet me at a restaurant by the airport. We
can have, you know, a quick bite before I go.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
So I call them.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
And I say, hey, look, I got some bad news.
You know how we're going to do the meet up
at your house and the sister was going to come
over with her kids and we're going to hang out
all day. Well didn't get to tea time until eight
fifty three hour away from your house. So if you
guys want to meet to eat, you know, that'd be great.
My mom's like, oh really, so you pick your brother
over us, and I want to get.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
A Southwest ticket to go have lunch with you.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
I said, this is the problem when it's coming to
town is you feel like you got to see all
these people and someone always feels left out. And so
my parents it's like, yeah, I guess you know, golf
is more important than hanging out with us.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
Kid, I'll be eating at that place with lemon moraine pie.
I'll leave a chair open. If you want to meet up,
you gonna pull up, gonna link up.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
And my dad was like, well, I've been trying to
call Keith to see if he wanted to come over too,
and I'm like, yeah, I'm sorry, and they're like.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
Oh no, it's okay. And I was like, see, this
is why, this is why I can't do this.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
This is why I can't. Then going back to Austin
is very stressful and they're like, ah, now we're to
screw with you, man, go apple and hit the golf ball.
We'll meet you for dinner. Well, to tell your sister
that we're gonna meet at a restaurant and eat. I'm like,
that's what I'm talking about, Mom and Dad.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
So eight fifty three Sunday we will be teeing off
at plumb Creek. Get ready, boys and girls, we're taking
over Butda or Kyle or whatever city it's in. I
just hope you play well. If you're driving two hours
outside of town, get one of the iHeart vehicles, say hey,
I'm heading to the stage and then oh, just a
little bit further. They'll drive you out there for free.
(15:57):
Unless it's just bonesho's got the chauffeur.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
Well, yeah he is Bobby, and Bobby won't drive me.
He'll be headed probably back to the airport, so Batter's
Box will pick me up. So it is free either
way for me. It is kind of out of his
way because he's gonna have to come in and then
out and then up and down. He could just take
the toll road, but that's not gonna work when he's
got to swing by downtown and pick me up.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
Well, in Austin, they got some great restaurants Terminal two.
Have your dad and mom meet you there. Really, there's
a good little ranch style place.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
Now, yeah, what'll take a break, man, But good news
is Batter's box. And I got a tea time for
Sunday morning. And Garrett, Greg and Jacob and I we
are supposed to play golf on Friday. We are supposed
to play in a private course kind of outside of town.
Got a nice, big old metal gate and you got
to hit the little.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
Keypad to let you in.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
It is a looking like one hundred percent chance of
rain on Friday, so we do not know what we're
gonna do.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
That sounds like a tornado.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
And I said, boys, we still got to drive out there,
and we got to take our chances, because an hour
outside Austin doesn't mean it's raining out there. If it's
raining in Austin. And they're like, man, we just go
hit on a simulator. I said, quit being a bunch ofes.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
Oh, simulator. I ain't gonna hit on a sim Beazer's
been trying to get me to do that for the
past two years. I ain't gonna do it.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
I'm like, quit being We'll go out there and we'll
figure it out. Bring an umbrella, damn it, and we'll
take a break.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
We'll right back. Holy hell, I don't know anything more.
Deserving of the A block on the times that you
tried to book a tea time. What do we got
for B block?
Speaker 1 (17:33):
Oh, we got to introduce the show man. We're gonna
start the Show's on the menu, Lunchbox, more frustration.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
In my life. I'm guessing iHeart Austin. You got shafted.
Your mom and dad are plumb out of luck. It's
either dad or darts on the green. And more of
a how many times Arnold and Abbey hook up every weekend?
It's on the menu.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
Man, That's not what it was on my menu. But
I mean you got you have a different menu. But
I got my frustration with the Nationale Soccer Club. I mean,
I'm a season ticket holder and what they do to me,
I just can't understand it.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
Let's not get political.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
I can't understand it. And then Baby Box's baseball career
almost came to an end yesterday.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
We could all only hope. Did I say all loud,
let's start the show. Yeah, we're gonna do it live.
We are the one two sow loser? What up? Everybody?
I am Lunchbox.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
I know the most about sports, so I give you
the sports facts, my sports opinions, because I'm pretty much
a sports.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
Genius, y'all. It's Sison. I'm from the North, alpha male,
live on the north side of town with Baser, two
point three acres, twenty three kids at Vanderbilt. Justin supposed
to be looking after him Nerdy Frosting. He now lives
in Michigan. He's got a loft downtown there Cascade Grand Rapids,
one of the two. Life looks great. He texts me
every night. He gets on our Facebook page and bashes
me about not having any friends, and then he'll text
(19:02):
me again after posting on the Facebook page. So I
don't know who's more lonely, me or him, but I'm
gonna vote him over to you, Coach. I just vented
that was your only event, man. That's all one line alone.
It was just basically and then he texted me and
Baser on Sunday morning basically making fun of us that
we don't have friends anymore. But we're like, I mean,
(19:23):
you haven't come across really that you've been, mister personnel
Bowle in Michigan, Like you're just out on the town
meeting people. I haven't seen one picture of you with
somebody that isn't your family member. I mean, I think
you're the one that's not meeting people. But then he
was happy that Dodd moved out. It was friend jealousy.
He was happy that Heather left, and he's also happy
(19:45):
that Angelina is out of our life since he was
out of our life. And then was there one more
I'm forgetting someone?
Speaker 1 (19:50):
Oh yeah, we don't talk about her anymore. We broke
up with her.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
No, no, no, it was it was Heather. It was
Eric and Anna, who I have to know my other
friend that moved out of town. How am I forgetting
this person South Beach? It wasn't South Beach. I was
the crazy one, the neighbor. It was three of our
friends have moved Heather, Eric and Anna, Justin. Justin already
(20:16):
thought of him as out a friend.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
Yeah, I mean I saw that post thought it was
a low blow because I remember I went to Boston
one year and he was living in Boston. I said, man,
how's it being going up here? He's like, man, I
haven't met anybody, so I don't know that he is
mister making friends right away. It takes a while. I
think he's a little nervous, little gunshot to go up
to dudes and ask for dude's numbers. But uh, more
(20:39):
numbers than he's gonna get with chicks.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
I'll tell you that.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
I guarantee you do you think he's cleaning up there? No,
I said, he's gonna get more dudes numbers. He's just
got to start asking chicks. They're not gonna want anything
to do with him right now.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
I will say in his favor, with the weather in Michigan,
this is the best time of the year to live
in Michigan. When he first moved there, he goes, why
did nobody tell me that it snowed in Michigan. It
was miserable the first three months, But now you're able
to get outside. You're on jogging trails, you got ponds, rivers, lakes,
all kinds of beautiful areas got You're out getting fro
Yo ice cream. There at a nice, beautiful little city
(21:10):
town Michigan. This is it Lake Michigan. This is where
you're throwing a football like American pie and you hit
a girl on the tits and next thing you know,
you're married to her. So that's up to him. He's
got to get to Grand Haven. He knows where all
the spots are. Justin You're not gonna want to stay
in Grand Rapids. You want to get over there to
Lake Michigan. All those spots that are lined up more
more past Gun Lake. You're gonna go even past Grand Haven.
(21:32):
You want to get all the way to Lake Michigan.
And it is just it's gonna be boat week. It's
gonna be the Armed Forces week. This is the time
to meet people. Get out there, get a bathing suit,
get some sun, and there you go over to you man.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
Yeah, so Nashville, I see, man, they've been having a
great year, best year so far in their club's history.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
They've only lost one game.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
They're in this UH champions con Champions League and they're
in the semi finals and they're playing t Grays at
in Nashville for the first leg of the thing.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
What is the tournament called? Is it the Conch Calf
Conga Calf Champions League.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
But that sounds like when we were in the Mini
and we had Conch. It does, but this is much
better and all that Conch was amazing. Anyway, as a
season ticket member, they usually give you the option, do
you want the tickets this round of the whatever special
tournament is, or do you not. And I guess I
missed the email where they said that I had an option,
because all I did was get an email says you've
(22:32):
been charged for the semi final tickets.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
They're guaranteed. It's on the weeknight.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
Oh, it's definitely on last night, Tuesday night at seven
thirty pm.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
Can I know the regular season games are always on Saturday? Correct?
Can they do these stupid weird tournaments during the week.
They make no sense.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
So I'm like, listen, boys, on Saturday, we ended up
not going to the game. We were supposed to go
to the game. We're having so much fun at what
we were doing.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
We didn't leave, and.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
I was like, you know what, no matter what, we're
going Tuesday. We're going Tuesday night. It's a school night,
but that's all right. We'll stay up late, we'll go
to the game. It'll be awesome, peanuts and lemonade for everybody.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
Okay, Dad, I can't wait. I can't wait.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
So yesterday school ends.
Speaker 4 (23:14):
Oh my gosh, Dad, We're going to the Nashville Sea
game tonight. We're going to the NSC game tonight. Woo woo,
can't wait, don't want to miss it. Then, Babybox has
baseball practice. He does baseball practice, and afterwards they see
a couple of friends. They start playing wiffle ball at
the ballpark.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
And Baby Box twos like, Dad, just let us know
when we need to go whatever we need to whenever
we need to leave.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
We're ready to leaguers. We don't want to miss the
NSC game. Glorified babysitter you are.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
And I'm like, all right, yeah, dude, no problem. And
then I look up at the sky and it's starting
to get windy and it's starting to get dark, and
it's like five thirty games at seven thirty. I was
all right, boys, we gotta go them and eat dinner.
We gotta go home and eat dinner. All right, all right,
(24:02):
let's go, let's go. We head home, get home. We're
eating dinner, and I'm like, boys, I got some bad news.
We might not be going to the game tonight.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
Your dad may melt you sideway are going.
Speaker 4 (24:14):
To the game?
Speaker 2 (24:15):
You lied? You lied, You're a liar.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
Blame God, I said, listen, boys, I I don't control
the weather, but it looks like it's gonna storm out there.
But Dad, if it's just raining, who cares? Who cares
about rain.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
And it was dark. I'm with you on this one, Dad.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
I said, well, guys, I don't really want to sit
in the rain, and that doesn't seem like very much fun.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
We'll be soaking wet.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
Then baby Box two hits me with but Dad, but Dad,
I said a prayer, and I'm like, what do you mean?
Speaker 2 (24:49):
He goes, I prayed. I told God. I said, hey, God,
please let it not rain so we can go to
the National SC game.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
And then baby Box three is like, well you got
to say more than that, and baby Box, dude, do
I really do? What else do I need to say?
Dad like, was that not long enough? Can you not
hear me? If I didn't say a long enough prayer?
I'm like, no, no, no, But that was fine. You're fine,
It's okay.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
It won't be answered. And I said some of the
God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers.
Speaker 1 (25:16):
He's like, Dad, what do you mean? I was like,
let me play the song for you. Played the song
for him, and he's like, I don't understand. I'm not
all prayers come true. They're not all granted. But that's
basically what the song is saying. And it's okay, and
we're eating dinner and it's like six thirty and it
was getting dark. Boy, what is this some song?
Speaker 2 (25:43):
What are you doing? It says lightning Strike.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
That is the second time you've played that, and it's
nothing to do with the weather.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
I hate to take from your story, but I'm not
when I say this, I'm not even joking. Somebody deleted
my Lightning Strikes and then somebody deleted our crime scene music.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
Oh it's so annoying because these sound effects would really
add to it.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
Right here.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
We may win a podcast award if you had to.
As I'm talking, because we're sitting at dinner in it outside,
I said, oh, boys, I don't know. That doesn't look good.
And my wife's like, let me look online. Of course,
Nashville I see is still saying game can't wait, showing
pictures of the guys getting out of their cars walking in.
(26:25):
It's game day in Nationale. They're not mentioning anything about
the weather. They're not saying anything about oh it might
be delayed even though it's outside.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
All right, cool man, Yeah that's what it's doing. I
was like, yeah, boy, that's a rap. Doesn't look like
we're going to the game tonight. They're like why, And
I'm like, guys listening to outside babybox ones, like I
did hear that? I did hear that?
Speaker 1 (26:52):
And he goes, it's supposed to storm all night, so
maybe it'll storm all night and I'll have to play tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
We go tomorrow, smart.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
He goes, but what happens if they play while we're
in school? Would we still go to the game? Same
amount of people? Those games are hurting, aren't they? They do,
put them up, will give them props. Wh I'm driving home,
they put it on the billboard. If we won, that's great. Yeah,
it's great, I mean advertised, that's yeah. Not I mean
football is gonna be taking over in the fall.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
Do you better take the summer?
Speaker 1 (27:18):
Yeah, well, summer's gonna be World Cup, so we're gonna
take the summer off.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
We won't have any games. Whoa, we got some of
those Mexico games here. I don't know what we know.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
We don't have any games here but in Atlanta. But
the World Cup is in the United States and we
will not be having MLS games at that time.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
Fun.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
So then we put the boys to bed and I
look online and it's like, oh, the game is delayed.
Not going to start till at least eight thirty because
of severe weather in the area. MI see that game
would have been in in at eleven pm. Kids couldn't
have made it great idea not to go, And I
wasted all that money.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
I was gonna say, you're burying the lead. How much
were you out? I was out two hundred and ninety
five dollars. Tell me how it pays off to get
season tickets, because I'm not seeing it. I'm not sure
when MESSI comes to town and you can scalp them
(28:13):
for a thousand. Yes. Other than that, I have no
idea why you wouldn't just get them day of game
Saturday night. Your board as hell, let's go, CSC.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
I'm starting to think that way. Also, I'm starting to
feel the exact same way you are, because this being
automatically charged two hundred and ninety five dollars. Then in
the bad weather, so we didn't even get to go,
and I don't even know that I had an option
to say I didn't want the tickets.
Speaker 2 (28:39):
Well, and I SC I have a bone to pick
with them as well. They gave me free tickets last year. Yeah,
I didn't go. I turned around and scalped them and
made like sixty to one hundred dollars this year. They said, hey,
we're giving you more free tickets. Yeah, what's your email?
I gave it to them. They never sent me the
free tickets. I wasn't gonna go. I was gonna scalp them.
But it's the principle of it. But did you already
did you use the same email address? Yeah, they know that.
(29:01):
I'm still thinking about being a season ticket holder.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
But if you've already this is for first time fans.
If you use the same email address, they know they
already sent you tickets, and then you've already been to
a game.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
Well, I wasn't going to keep the tickets. They understand. Yeah,
they were going to change hands very quickly. But I'm
still wondering why they didn't send me those free tickets.
I would have at least thought about it. I just
told you why. So I watched it here, I'm going
to do a new email.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
Yeah, so I watched it from the couch. We lost
one nothing to Tea Grays, and now we got to
go down to Mexico next Tuesday. It's going to be
very almost impossible to win. We've got to win the
game and then we have a chance to advance. But
if we don't win, we don't advance. The tie does
this no good? We got to go balls of the wall.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
What city is Tea Grase? Hopefully on Porta Vierta. I
don't know where Tea Grays is.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
If someone can tell me where t Grays is, I
have no idea, don't even know if it's in Mexico City,
if it's in Rainosa.
Speaker 2 (29:55):
And that's about the only ones I know. We're thinking
about Cabo this summer. And Bazer goes, no, I'm not
doing Mexico. And I said, the Porta Vierta thing where
they had tankers turned over and guys were bombing each other,
that was that's over. That's how I've cleaned it up.
Now they've done a bunch of recycling, a bunch of
street clean up stuff. Mexico's back open, really.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
Because I mean, heck, from the ice storm, there's still
branches in my neighborhood. So Mexico's a lot faster than
we are.
Speaker 2 (30:21):
We're going to Mexico. I told her, I don't know
what you've seen in the news about all these cartels.
I mean, we're going we're taking our playing cartels, taking
my cards to the Mexico. We're going to Mexico.
Speaker 1 (30:35):
Well, I'm not going to Mexico. And I didn't get
to go to the game last night, but I paid
two hundred ninety five dollars to watch it on my
TV cartels.
Speaker 2 (30:41):
Well, I'm gonna find a car and tell them to
take me to the nearest bar. Senior Frogs. We'll take
a break. We'll be right back.
Speaker 3 (30:54):
There.
Speaker 1 (30:55):
Oh man, I thought I thought the career was over
last night. Man, baby box the Los Angeles Dodgers. They
had practiced last night from four to five pm.
Speaker 2 (31:06):
Oh Tani randomly didn't play. Really yeah, Justin picked him
and beat the streak and he went, oh for oh ah,
but smart pick Justin. He didn't even play.
Speaker 1 (31:15):
Yeah, it's a little worry something that he could have
pinched hit. He'd been over one streak over. Man, gotta
check that starting lineup, bro, gotta check the starting lineup.
But he had practice from four to five, and so
we show up and get out there and he's warming up,
playing good. Then they're running some drills and practice him
throwing the first all this stuff, taking ground balls, everything's
(31:38):
going out great, everything's fine. He's loving baseball. And then
they're like, all right, we're gonna hit a little bit
and they started signing positions.
Speaker 2 (31:45):
They say, baby Box, go to first base, that's where
you want.
Speaker 1 (31:49):
And I'm like, okay, he's gonna love first base. He's
gonna absolutely just eat it up over there.
Speaker 2 (31:55):
The next Andre's Goalaraga. The Big Cat, dude, that's a
great nickname, the Big Box. The Big Cat was he
was my favorite player. Dude. I wish I would have
been the Big Cat. But now there's this dumb ass
at barstool named Big Cat. Dude. It would have been
the best radio name ever. Why did I not go
by Big Cat growing up? I did. When I played,
they called me Big Cat, but then I just randomly
(32:16):
ended the nickname and then biggest Dude ever. Big Cats
all over barstool rest is history. I can never use
the nickname. Well, you could be the crime dog. Fred
McGriff basically tell your kid to come up with an
amazing nickname just so somebody at barstool or Pat McAfee,
somebody doesn't steal the nickname and it becomes more famous
than you. Because then you can never use the nickname
or it seems like you're ripping it off from some
(32:37):
other guy. I guarantee you I had the nickname big
Cat before big Cat at barstool. But he gets it,
and he gets all the notoriety. That's fine. That's neither
here nor there.
Speaker 1 (32:46):
It doesn't bother you or anything, does it.
Speaker 2 (32:48):
I kicked myself every day that I didn't continue that
nickname from first grade baby boxes age. Why did I
not continue that? Because I would have been the big
cat bones. Let's go in the glass room. That's a
big cat. What's up, guys? I mean, dude, and we
would have done Hey, we'll do it.
Speaker 4 (33:05):
Lie.
Speaker 2 (33:06):
We're the one, two, three sore losers.
Speaker 1 (33:10):
What's up everybody? I'm lunchbox from and I know the
most about sports. I'll give you a sports facts, my
sports opinions, because I'm pretty much a sports genius.
Speaker 2 (33:18):
What up, y'all? It's big Cat. I'm from the North.
Oh my god, dude, that would have been. That was
so much more epic, or I just start going eat
it by it. You gotta start sometime.
Speaker 1 (33:28):
I mean, we would be so much more memorable, Like
people would remember our podcast more. We'd probably have more
downloads and you'd be like, my name is big Cat.
Speaker 2 (33:35):
I got a cat named Piper. But they just don't
know the history of it. The only people that could
bag me up to my family that he was my favorite.
Everybody else is gonna think I'm ana rip off.
Speaker 1 (33:44):
No, we can just have a drop from your brother
where he says, yeah, we used to call him big cat.
Speaker 2 (33:48):
Uh not much for words.
Speaker 1 (33:50):
Okay, we can go to Muff and Muff be like, yeah,
he used to be called big cat.
Speaker 2 (33:54):
Okay, could have had it.
Speaker 1 (33:56):
Okay, But anyway, back to practice, man, So the head
coach wasn't there. He was out of town doing something.
I don't know what he was doing, but he was gone.
So you had the two assistant coaches out there and
first batter up, you know, hits a little dribbler down
on the third base line and no one is hustling
to get it, and baby Box has got his foot
on the base. So one of the coaches goes over
(34:16):
there and grabs it and he throws a strike the
first and baby Box has got the glove out. I mean,
I'm like, oh, this guy's gonna be out.
Speaker 2 (34:27):
Not sure what.
Speaker 1 (34:28):
He did, not sure if he took his eye off
of it. I'm not sure if he moved his glove,
if he blinked, or what happened, but the glove, the
ball sailed past the glove and don't right.
Speaker 2 (34:45):
Off his head?
Speaker 1 (34:46):
Oh no, right off his head. And I was sitting,
you know, kind of in the stands, and I was like, oh, oh,
I didn't know if it his eye, I didn't know
if it his mouth, his nose. And he immediately flings
the glove off somehow he spits his gum out.
Speaker 2 (35:07):
And he ah, I want to go home. I want
to go home. I want to go home. I want
to go to the SC game. I want to go home.
Speaker 1 (35:15):
And I run out there and he sits down and
I'm talking to him. I'm like, it's okay, Bud, it's okay,
it's okay, it's okay.
Speaker 2 (35:21):
The coach. Did they allow you on the field. Yeah,
it was just practice, correct. Did they allow you on it?
They did? The coach that threw the ball. I'm the dad,
I'm the dad. He comes running over.
Speaker 1 (35:33):
He's like, I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry.
It's like, it's okay, it's just baseball, man, it happens.
You're gonna get hit by the ball once or twice.
You're gonna get hit by the ball. It's okay. I'm
just so sorry. I feel so bad. I feel so bad.
I'm like, don't sitting on you.
Speaker 2 (35:47):
Was it a straight throw or a faery throw?
Speaker 1 (35:50):
No, it was a straight throw. And I was like, hey, Bud,
where did it hit you? And I don't see any blood,
so that's good. There's no busted nose, busted lip.
Speaker 2 (35:56):
You want blood to make sure things are functioning as designed. Oh,
I don't know. I got hit in the head multiple times.
And Fred Heather's son just got drilled right in the face.
Kids are fine.
Speaker 1 (36:07):
Yeah, And so it turns out it drilled him straight
in the left ear.
Speaker 2 (36:11):
He'll he honestly will have some numbing. He's fine, he's
I mean, we never thought he's gonna be Harvard or Yale.
I think he'll be fine.
Speaker 1 (36:19):
And it's like I want to go home, and I'm like,
it's okay, Bud, it's okay. Let's take a breath, and
he couldn't take a breath. Let's go for a walk,
Let's go walk around the outfield, Let's go on ice cream.
And so we go walk around the outfield, he I
just want to sit down. I want to sit down.
I'm like, all right, So we sit down and he's
just and it's like it's okay, Bud, it's okay. And
he's like, I just want to go home. I was like,
(36:40):
do you want to get back out in the field.
Speaker 2 (36:42):
No? No, no, And I'm like, oh no, that's how
he ended his career.
Speaker 1 (36:46):
I was like, baseball is over, man, baseball is over
for baby Box. And I'm like, you want to bat
out of this guy?
Speaker 2 (36:53):
You can bat? He goes no, no, no, no, I
just want to go home. I just want to go home.
Speaker 1 (36:57):
Then one of the moms, miss miss you know Mayberry,
she brings out this freaking ice pack. Whoa man put
it on his ear and he holds it there for
a while and he starts to calm down.
Speaker 2 (37:08):
Would you mind making sure it's cold on your chest,
to make sure it's not too cold? She see how
cold it is. We put it right there. Oh well yeah,
your nipples are shining through. It's cold enough. You can
put it on your ear now. She's like, this thing
is freezing. I'm gonna put it on his eye right now.
I got it from the cooler. We can tell Ice cold.
Speaker 1 (37:28):
Yeah, head lights are working. Can you turn your lights on?
Because I can't see his ear? Can you shine your
light right over here?
Speaker 2 (37:38):
Thank you. She's bent over trying to heal him. Mama,
well I've been healed. How are you doing? Mayberry? And
I'm like, son, we may have thought of something here,

Speaker 2 (37:57):
No? No, I just want to go sit in the
dug out. I want to go sit in the out.
Speaker 1 (38:01):
I'm like, all right, and I just know the best
way to get over it is to get back out there.
You got to get him out there. So he's not
thinking about it.
Speaker 2 (38:08):
Ice creamer an sc game, He'll forget about it right away.
Speaker 1 (38:11):
And the coach is like, do you like gatorade? Do
you like gatorade? What color gatorade do you want?
Speaker 2 (38:14):
You want? Red?
Speaker 1 (38:15):
Okay, okay. So he calls his wife and says, hey,
when you come back to pick us up, will you
bring a red gatorade for him? And he sits in
there for a minute. A couple of batters go up
and he's like, batter the box.

Kingdom of Fraud
It’s the unlikeliest of criminal partnerships: a devout polygamist from an insular Utah sect joining forces with a shadowy Armenian tycoon from LA. The result - a billion dollar fraud conspiracy. In Kingdom of Fraud, investigative reporter Michele McPhee traces the origins of the extraordinary alliance between Jacob Kingston and Levon Termendzhyan. Together, the two men trigger the largest tax investigation in American history and weave around themselves a web of dirty cops, influential political relationships and transnational money laundering. All this is set against the backdrop of Jacob Kingston’s clan – The Order. A powerful and secretive polygamist organization in Salt Lake City. To whom Jacob is desperate to prove his worth.
