Yep, hello everyone.
Nonsense is probably the bestword to explain what we do.

Speaker 1 (00:35):
Listen, we're just getting started, but I'll tell
you this We've been recordingfor about 25 minutes prior to us
getting going.
Nobody needs to hear that stuff.
No, that goes in the archivesfor no one, because it's a mess.
At one point David's crying andthen he hacked up a lung Dying.
Yeah, it's been eventful tojust get the night going.

(00:57):
Yeah, got to pull it backtogether now, but I hope
everybody had a Merry Christmas.

Happy new year.
2025 came really really quicklyget all of your new year's
resolutions ready to go don'tstart I hate, don't start there
it's such a great excuse to faillike it's not a great excuse to

(01:18):
fail.
Well, because that's that'severybody like I'm gonna get in
shape this year and you'rereally good for like three weeks
.
And then the ones that arecrazy is like in November.

Speaker 2 (01:26):
They're like my New Year's resolution.

Speaker 1 (01:30):
I'm already deciding.
My New Year's resolution is I'mgoing to get fat right now and

You got to get through theholidays.
Now I will say you eat duringthe holidays.

Speaker 2 (01:42):
Oh, I mean Thanksgiving, christmas, like
those are both some feasts.
I have eight more than I needto for sure.

Speaker 1 (01:47):
Well, yeah but and a lot of ham, and I love ham but I
do feel like I've had a lot ofham this year, More more than
typical.

Speaker 2 (01:54):
It's because every time you have any kind of
holiday function, like you havedifferent groups and different
things, you're doing night andwe get christmas it's like
there's a ham for everyone well.

Speaker 1 (02:04):
So we had the ham with you guys on thanksgiving.
Pretty good size ham that wasbig ham.
And then we we did kind of ourown little christmas a few days
prior, and then mom and dad onchristmas did a ham and they did
a big ham and there's reallyonly like four of us eating it.
So I mean it was, it was a lotof ham, a lot of ham I do like,

(02:25):
I like him but I do like him hamor bacon, like I mean it's same
meat, but like what?
which one do I like better?

Speaker 2 (02:31):
yeah, which ham yeah?
Ham sandwich or just ham byitself ham by itself, if it's a
good ham, oh, just yeah, I likeit's beef jerky but like ham on,
like some good rolls, likethat's that's good you're
ruining with bread.

Speaker 1 (02:44):
I think I just make it better with bread.

Speaker 2 (02:46):
No, putting a lot of yeast on the ham.
I don't need that.
Yeast that's what I'm worriedabout is the yeast.

Speaker 1 (02:54):
I know right, not the grains, not the nothing, it's
just the yeast.

Speaker 2 (02:57):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (03:06):
I don't know like you .

Speaker 2 (03:07):
You made fun of me saying yeast, yes, but like why?

Speaker 1 (03:09):
because we're talking about a roll, I wouldn't
naturally just go to yeast hey,ain't the rolls called yeast
rolls.
There are some there used yeah,so what's the?
yeast.
I mean, I know, like in doughthey put a little bit of yeast
to help it rise.
I just don't exactly.
I don't either um, messing upmy ham.
I know that well.
So, real quick, we did kind ofbring somebody in.
We kind of have a producer now,um, maybe he'll look at yeast

(03:34):
for us.
Maybe, like, I need to text himbe like, hey, I need to know
what yeast what is yeast?

Speaker 2 (03:39):
just give give me an answer and I don't be like what
are y'all talking about?

Speaker 1 (03:42):
yeah, he's gonna, he's gonna be very, very
confused.
I mean's going to knowimmediately that he should
probably look it up and he'llprobably have fun with this, and
this will somehow make it to asound clip or something, because
we're not smart enough to knowwhat yeast is.

Speaker 2 (03:52):
No, but he will be helping us out a ton with social
media and stuff.

Speaker 1 (03:56):
So when you see no, no, and I didn't really ask him
like can I shout him out on hereby name?
So I'm not going to yet.
Well, we did last time aboutthe Christmas stuff I just don't
remember using his name.

Speaker 2 (04:10):
Yeah, we said all their names when they helped us
with the Christmas.
That's right, I do rememberthat.
I do remember that.

Speaker 1 (04:14):
So yeah, shout out Brian.

Speaker 2 (04:28):
Brian is now doing a ton of behind the scenes stuff
for us, and for it because,literally, we talked to him
about it a few days ago and it'slike he already had ideas,
jumped on it and was like justgoing and it's awesome, so we're
super excited to have brian onboard.

Speaker 1 (04:33):
Um, yeah, so check out our social media producer or
whatever I mean he's.
He's been doing a lot of stuffthat's way way more helpful than
he'll ever know.
Yeah, so super happy to havehim.
Um, yeah, so, like I said, he'salready posted some podcast or
some social media stuff andreally really getting us going.
So, yeah, yeah, so go on thereinteract, um you know.

(04:55):
Leave your thoughts, comments,I mean obviously anything with
podcast, social media, like it,rate it, comment, you know all
that stuff.

Speaker 2 (05:03):
It just helps, yeah, helps push it out there, go to
your spotify or apple podcastand do like the automatic
download that way, even if youdon't listen, yeah, every week.
I mean I know mine sets up whenwe we posted, it automatically
sends my phone just like justtrying to check sound you don't
have to listen, just at leastdownload right, listen, just put
it on in the background withthe volume all the way down and
play it all the way through.

(05:24):
Yeah, and that really helps usout there.

Speaker 1 (05:28):
So you've never listened to a word, but you've
had all of them playing in thebackground.

Speaker 2 (05:32):
Yeah.
So when we come asked, we'relike have you listened to our
podcast?

Speaker 1 (05:35):
Yeah, everyone, all of them, never missed a show.
What did you?

Speaker 2 (05:37):
think about that one.
Yeah, uh-huh, I completelyagree with your ideas on that.

Speaker 1 (05:42):
Well, we kind of had an argument over that, but I
completely agree.
Who are you siding with Yep?

Speaker 2 (05:48):
That's my answer.
I don't really have much to say, okay.

Speaker 1 (05:53):
Okay, so a few days ago I'd kind of mentioned this
to you.
I'd been listening to thispodcast and one of the Listen.

Speaker 2 (06:00):
The weird thing is, the only thing I know about this
is something about eating anteaters.

Speaker 1 (06:05):
No, it's not.
That's what stuck to my mind.
Okay, so let me explain that.
So I was listening to a podcast.
This guy he lived in the Amazonin Peru for many years like 20
years, something like that andhe was talking about some of the
guys on the podcast asked himwhat's one of the weirder meats
that you've eaten?

Speaker 2 (06:26):
And ant eater was one of those that he said how awful
it tastes.
But the comment you said thatstuck to me is he said an
anteater tastes like, you wouldthink, an anteater tastes like
what he said that, and to methat means nothing.

Speaker 1 (06:33):
All right, that's just, I have no I have no
thought of what an anteatertastes like no um but I don't
taste like chicken for all ofyou that want to know.
Apparently he said it tastesvery bitter.
I don't know.
I don't know that I've had abitter meat.

Speaker 2 (06:46):
I've never had a desire, I've never like.
The only time I've seen ananteater Is probably at the zoo
or something I said do you go tothe zoo?

Speaker 1 (06:52):
And you're like I'd like to eat that one.
I don't know what that onetastes like.

Speaker 2 (06:58):
But here's the thing.
What about the?

Speaker 1 (06:59):
tigers.
You know, next time we gothat's going to be something you
think about Every animal willsee it.

Speaker 2 (07:03):
You're going to look.

Speaker 1 (07:04):
I wonder how that tastes, man, those flamingos
right there.
I know the flamingos smell sobad.
They do.
Maybe they taste good.
Which zoo was it we went to?
They have the flamingos rightup front and the smell just
immediately.

Speaker 2 (07:17):
I don't remember, was it Atlanta?

Speaker 1 (07:19):
I don't remember, was it Atlanta, cincinnati?
It wasn't Cincinnati because wewent there this past summer.

Speaker 2 (07:30):
I think it had to be like it was either Greenville or
somewhere, but it's like youwalk through.

Speaker 1 (07:33):
first thing is flamingos and the smell is just
awful.
Okay, so that kind of back toit.
Sorry, we're a little all over.
My question is what is theweirdest or most exotic food of
any kind, whether it's meat,whether it's food, whatever that
you have eaten, that I've eaten?
Yeah, because I mean, obviouslyI don't get too carried away,

(07:54):
we know me, I eat like a child,I'm rather picky, so I don't
have too many really exoticthings I'm not.

Speaker 2 (08:01):
There's two that come to mind that I can think of.
One was I think I tried froglegs once.

Speaker 1 (08:08):
So that to me doesn't feel very exotic, though,
because like I sit there andthink I've had frog legs Frog
legs are good Like frog legstaste like chicken.

Speaker 2 (08:14):
I tried them once, it was a little sweeter, but to me
I like them.
It was actually dinner.
We had a restaurant there.
They had some, and so I think Itried them that night.
Um other than that, when I wasin new orleans I got some kind
of sausage dog on a stick thatwas made of gator alligator, so

(08:35):
that's the only two that come by.

Speaker 1 (08:36):
That's the thing about.
That is like anyone fromlouisiana or that lives there.

Speaker 2 (08:41):
They're like oh yeah that's tuesday I mean we have
gator every two, like that's nota very.
I mean, you know, growing up Ihad squirrel, like that's
Tuesday.
We have gator every TuesdayGrowing up I had squirrel.
A lot of people don't eat thatI would say that's probably a
little more than Squirrel's,more exotic than gator.

Speaker 1 (08:54):
No, I'm not saying it's more exotic, but I'm saying
here, because we don't havereally any predatorial stuff
like a gator here, a weird thingis squirrel or bear, or you
know that you've had that here.
Yeah, um, because deer, I mean,if you've lived anywhere
towards the south, you at onepoint tried venison or deer
jerky.

Speaker 2 (09:13):
I'm not much of a hunter, but when I was a
teenager we'd squirrel hunt someand, uh, mom would actually
cook the squirrel, yeah, yeahwell, that's.

Speaker 1 (09:20):
That's been a big thing here forever like rabbit
squirrel yeah, stuff that whichI don't really care for that
kind of stuff very much.

Speaker 2 (09:27):
So I guess I don't really have anything.
What would be yours?

Speaker 1 (09:29):
then, oh see again, I eat like a child.
I'm very like simple foods,Dino nuggets.

Speaker 2 (09:36):
Dino nuggies, man Dino nuggies.
Sorry Because.

Speaker 1 (09:38):
I can sit here and think of Noah him saying it.
Saying it, it's just dinonuggies.
You love some dino nuggies?
Um no, I mean, I eat more thanthat, like.
But as far as like crazy outthere foods, most time I'm gonna
look at like yeah, I'm nottrying that, I don't have to try
it to know I don't like it.

Speaker 2 (09:53):
I'm not like to.
I avoid it.
If I know what it is, it wouldbe very hard for me to eat some
of it.
But if it didn't know, I mighttaste it like, oh, this is great
, but but me knowing.

Speaker 1 (10:02):
But why do I feel like Brian has tried something?

Speaker 2 (10:06):
I don't know.
So, brian, he likes to, when hegoes to towns, go to like the
little local stuff, correct andthat's my thought.

Speaker 1 (10:15):
Maybe he's tried something.

Speaker 2 (10:17):
So we'll have to ask him.
But for any of you listening,please let us know what's
something you've tried that'seither out there and it doesn't
have to be a meat like if it'ssome kind of dish or some kind
of weird fruit that we don'thave here it seems like the um
chocolate covered, uh likeinsects are trying to make a

(10:37):
thing, these healthy yeah, Ican't do it again I you go to
the insects and the stuff that Iwatched on that podcast the
other day.

Speaker 1 (10:45):
they had that the grasshoppers.
No, it wasn't a grasshopper, itwas.
I really don't want to talkabout it cause my wife will kill
me, Okay, but yeah, it was just.
Oh, I don't know how that'sreally a thing Like I know in
other countries, like cricketsand some of that stuff, like
they.

Speaker 2 (11:00):
So yesterday I had a steak that at one point I
thought might move on me, aspink as it was.

Speaker 1 (11:07):
Okay, so we made a trip, starting yesterday morning
, to Nashville, tennessee.
We went to Franklin, tennessee,just south of Nashville, so
from where we're at about sixhours.

Speaker 2 (11:17):
Right on six Because we can't go through 40.

Speaker 1 (11:18):
Yeah, it's a little longer right now, with 40 still
being closed from hurricanes.
So on the way back it's alreadybeen a long day.
We went and picked up someequipment for 4U Golf and we're
like, all right, we're justgoing to stop and eat somewhere.
Good, but you picked Longhorn.

Speaker 2 (11:35):
I did.
I'm proud of you.
I'm without Fazoli's, but itwasn't close.
We were going to go to Fazoli'sbut we had to go past Nashville
to the north For those thatdon't know, because there's no
Fazoli's around here.
There's not Fazoli's is great.
If you find a Fazoli'ssomewhere, it's pasta I never
had.

Speaker 1 (11:47):
Fazoli's until I moved to Kentucky when I was in
college.

Speaker 2 (11:50):
That's great.

Speaker 1 (11:51):
And.

Speaker 2 (11:51):
I want to say the first time I went was with you
guys.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (11:57):
After I met Amanda Probably.
So yeah, we went to Fazoli.
Like don't get me wrong, I'mnot going to sit here and say
it's like high quality food, no,but it's like fast.
It's not fast food, but it's.

Speaker 2 (12:05):
It's a little better than fast food.
It's like fast casual, yeah,like it's.
That's a good word for it, it'snot quite like a, which even
anymore.

Speaker 1 (12:12):
Olive Garden's not that great, but you know it just
feels like it's declined some.

Speaker 2 (12:19):
Yeah at a register, yeah, and they bring it to you
but it's pasta, it's a mixtureum pizza, but in the bread, like
all you can eat bread oh yeah,when you're sitting down there,
when you're there, like you justkeep and oh it's great.
Yeah, so if you've never beento one, you've got you got.

Speaker 1 (12:36):
You were hating on bread earlier, like garlic.
No, not garlic bread.

Speaker 2 (12:39):
I wouldn't hang on that, we didn't you.
You said like sandwich breadand rolls.

Speaker 1 (12:42):
It's different.
Listen, you put garlic on rollsand sandwich bread and rolls.
No, I was talking about rolls.

Speaker 2 (12:44):
It's different.

Speaker 1 (12:44):
Listen, you put garlic on Rolls and sandwich
bread are not the same thing.
That's true.
How dare you?
That's true.
Don't get that out.

Speaker 2 (12:50):
I like rolls with my steak, but not a Well, so that's
the thing too.

Speaker 1 (12:56):
Texas Roadhouse, you get rolls Longhorn, it's that
loaf bread.

Speaker 2 (13:09):
That loaf bread ain't cutting it.
It's not horrible, but no, I'mnot saying it's bad, but it's
not the same like.
Those rolls at longhorn areliteral like clouds.
I mean, there's, the best rollsI've ever had again is in
kentucky, is uh shilohsteakhouse best rolls.
See, I've only been to shiloh'slike once.
Oh my gosh, the rolls.
I'll go there.

Speaker 1 (13:18):
But again, I was a college kid, I was poor and it
wasn't super, super expensive,but it's was more expensive than
what I had at the time.

Speaker 2 (13:26):
I haven't found anything local here with the
best rolls or things like that.
But no talking about Longhorn.
Yeah, okay, so my steak wasstill good.
It was way more pink than Iwanted, well, so you're in the
middle of it.

Speaker 1 (13:39):
The middle of it.
The outside of your steaklooked pretty good.
Yeah, steak looked pretty good.
Yeah, it still tasted good, my,so my steak was really good
it's.
When the dessert came the macand cheese was good.
Mac and cheese was good, mashedpotatoes I was just okay.
Yeah, it all went downhill withdessert, with dessert and
listen those that know us.

Speaker 2 (13:55):
If you, we like dessert and tyler likes ice
cream, I love ice cream that'sso we got this lava cake that
brings the ice cream on it.
And we have a longhorn localthat we've been to and it's good
.

Speaker 1 (14:06):
I didn't realize how good our Longhorn was oh man,
it's good.
Like every time we've gonethere, the food is just good
quality.

Speaker 2 (14:11):
So that's what I think when you were telling me
to get somewhere to eat.
I think that's probably whereyour mind went, the Longhorn we
had here.
Yeah, I really do think it did.
Do you want to explain?

Speaker 1 (14:21):
what our lava cake was.
All right, so we get our lavacake.
First thing, it's not lava itwas ice cold.
Like I mean, so don't worry, itwas room temperature.
First bite, I took the driestbrownie I've ever had in my
entire life.

Speaker 2 (14:40):
Well, no, the problem is it's supposed to be cake.
Yes, because he referred to itas brownie.
Yes, that's how bad it was hereferred to it as brownie.

Speaker 1 (14:46):
So, david, I can see him like.
He like cuts way into his andhe's like the fudge didn't even
come out Like it wasn't evenwarm enough for that to happen.
No, so I'm like this is ittastes like spoiled milk.

(15:11):
It's spoiled like it was.
It was bad and I, so I tookthat one bite, pushed it off,
then had to take another bite ofthe worst cake I've ever eaten
just to try to get so that wasthe problem it was awful the
cake was so dry that I just totry to get that out.

Speaker 2 (15:28):
So that was the problem.
It was awful.

Speaker 1 (15:30):
The cake was so dry that I had to eat the ice cream
with it, and so I was kind ofmixing it, and you mentioned
about the ice cream and so Istarted trying it and I was like
, oh, I don't know if I can dothis and then I couldn't eat the
cake, but at first you, so Iwas in a dilemma.
Honestly, I can't really sayanything against Longhorn,
because I don't even rememberwhat town we were in.
I don't either Our waitress wasawful yeah.

(15:51):
Like, looking back at it, shewas super nice, but she had the
most I don't care attitude ofanybody I've ever met, yeah.
And like at the end she waslike I hope you didn't mind
waiting on me, yeah.
And I'm like, huh, she didn'tbring anything.
She took our order and anothergirl did everything else, yeah.
And then she came back and gottip and I'm like what am I

(16:13):
tipping you for?
I just don't know what you did.
And historically I mean Davidknows this, my wife knows this I
tip pretty large.
Like I feel like we're notgoing to get into the whole
tipping culture.

Speaker 2 (16:22):
That's the whole thing, because I'll get you
going on that, oh my gosh.

Speaker 1 (16:26):
There's some people that have some very severe I
hate the tipping process.

Speaker 2 (16:31):
I can see your face going.
Go ahead.
No, because I may not shut upon this one, I'll mute you.
I don't care.
I'm going to try to.
This is going to be all I'llsay hopefully, okay.
Say hopefully, okay, we'll see.
That's not.
I'll get you going, don't worry.
I understand that's theamerican process.
So because of that I do tip Itry to tip.

Speaker 1 (16:50):
Well, yes, and again, I'm not going to sit here and
say you don't, because you do,but the whole process in this.

Speaker 2 (16:56):
I owe you so much, I'm obligated to give you so
much right, especially when Iwalk in to a restaurant and you
hand me something behind thecounter and say would you like
to leave a tip?
I ain't even tried the food yet.
They flip it around.
It's like would you like to tip?

Speaker 1 (17:09):
Yeah, for what you said hello or or better yet like
places that you almost serveyourself and it's like would you
like to?

Speaker 2 (17:15):
tip and then you almost feel guilty if you don't
tip them because it's like anobligation.
So it's just the whole systemis.

Speaker 1 (17:24):
The thing that kills me is when people are like if
you can't tip, don't go out toeat then you wouldn't have a job
but here, here's my, here's mythought, and again, I I usually
tip well and I, because Iunderstand the, the culture, I
understand that.
But pay your employees better,like the price of food has gone
up immensely and that hasn'tthat's not talking politics,

(17:46):
it's just private companies.
Their, their prices have gone upa ton and then you still have
to tip a percentage proportionand it's like how do I, how do I
?
Now?
My bill is so much more andit's not.
It's not sitting here like,well, if you can't afford to tip
20%, you shouldn't go.

Speaker 2 (18:05):
No.

Speaker 1 (18:06):
Stop raising my bill and then expect me to tip even
more.

Speaker 2 (18:08):
I would prefer if every meal at the restaurant was
raised a dollar or something,right?
So I know up front what I'mpaying you and it's not up to me
to try to come up with.
Oh, how much should I pay thisperson?

Speaker 1 (18:19):
so I don't feel guilty or so they don't get mad
at.
I'm sure there's somebody,especially somebody that's been
a waiter or waitress for quite awhile.
You may know how is it withlabor laws.
There's a minimum wage, butmost of those get paid like two
or three dollars an hour andthen it's all tips well, I know
I've heard in the past that Idon't know if this is everywhere
, so don't you know?

Speaker 2 (18:40):
come at me if I'm wrong, but I've heard in the
past that if you are a waiter,waitress, they pay you that
amount and then you get yourtips.
And if you didn't make enoughand tips to make you in ways
they have to make up thedifference.

Speaker 1 (18:53):
How often do you think that actually happens,
never because people feel guilty.
So because I know my wife waitwas a waitress for a bit in
college.
If you're a little small place,maybe she, she was a small
place and and they didn't splittips evenly, which some places
do that, which, again, I don'tlike that either, because if
somebody did a fantastic job andthey're just one of the nicest
people you ever meet and theyjust go above and beyond and you

(19:15):
tip a large tip, you shouldn'thave split that with the 10
other people in the back.
No, you shouldn't.
I don't like that.
I agree with that.
Yeah, but again that, yeah, butyeah again.
My mind just went how the heckdid we get here?
But, um, my wife was a waitressin college and you know she'd
have some big table and they'dtip like a dollar a piece and it
shouldn't be up to them to pay.

Speaker 2 (19:35):
It is the problem?

Speaker 1 (19:36):
no, no, but then.
But then the thing is, it'slike the owner's small little
place, it's just like it didn'tmatter she's making like 250 an
hour plus tips, and you knowyou've come home with ten
dollars that day and it's like,well, that's that, wasn't here's
my problem and and I'm gonnatake heat on this okay, I know I
am here, we go whatever I likewhen it's you taking it on me.

Speaker 2 (19:58):
If you are not getting paid enough to do that
job that you came there andagreed to do, true, don't take
the job, I agree.
And if people would quit goingand doing these jobs if they say
, no, you're not paying meenough, I'm not getting enough
of tips, then restaurant ownerswould have to change the way
they do things.
Pay them more, whatever it's.

Speaker 1 (20:15):
It's hard to say, though, because we have so many
restaurants locally that are sobad because of that, because
they can't find people to work.
So then, like, like, it's justawful.

Speaker 2 (20:24):
Pay them more.
Quit expecting me to tip them.
It's not my job.
If I want to give them a tip,it should be because they went
above and beyond what they'resupposed to do.
A tip isn't a here.
This is your pay.

Speaker 1 (20:36):
I'm now fixing your salary for you.

Speaker 2 (20:38):
No, it should be.
You get your salary.

Speaker 1 (20:46):
And if I want to give you more, that's even better.
Yeah, we definitely didn't meanto get off onto that topic.
No, we didn't, but it drives menuts.
But I was gonna say, as soon asI mentioned the smallest piece
of that, I saw david's face.
I was like well, we're goingthere at this point before you
ask.

Speaker 2 (20:53):
I've never worked at a job where I had to work on
tips.

Speaker 1 (20:56):
But if, if I go to my boss and say I will work for
this amount of money, I can'tsay nothing right if I don't
like it, go find a different jobright, that's the way I feel
about it, see, and then again Idon't know how like a bartender
works like I do.
They make more base and thenthey also get the tip, like I
just don't know, because I don'tknow, I don't have any personal
friends.

Speaker 2 (21:16):
Most of your waiters, waitress, bartenders, whatever
they're pretty good at what theydo most of the ones.

Speaker 1 (21:21):
I've been doing it for a considerable amount of
time.
Yeah, yeah, because I mean noneof them are good when you first
start, because it's a but, it'sa skill.
I mean there's a lot ofhospitality to it.

Speaker 2 (21:28):
And I'm curious about this.
I don't know the answer.
If a restaurant said we'regonna up your pay to good like
way over minimum wage, yeah, butyou get no more tips, I bet
half of them would quit becausethey want the tips yeah, yeah, I
don't know because, again, likeyou said, I've never worked a
job that was on tips, that Irequired tips to help make it.

Speaker 1 (21:52):
So I don't really know.
But in reality you would thinkabout it Every day.
You would actually make moremoney, because on a day that you
don't have many tables, or it'sjust a slow night or somebody
stiffs you on a check orwhatever I like, you're still
gonna make more those days.
So overall, wouldn't you makemore money?

Speaker 2 (22:09):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (22:10):
I feel like they do pretty good on tips, or they
wouldn't do it I feel like somedo, but then I feel like there's
always those ones that get outof it because, like I didn't
really make that much well,probably means you weren't very
good exactly that's, that's thething again it's okay to not be
good at it.

Speaker 2 (22:22):
If that's just not for you, it's not for you.
Who cares?
Again, this is the system wehave.
I'm not taking shots at anybodythat is a waiter, waitress, any
of that stuff, I'll still leavetips.

Speaker 1 (22:31):
He is saying he hates you and he thinks you're dumb
for having that job.
No, I hate the system.
The system we've allowed for solong that it's impossible to
break it.

Speaker 2 (22:39):
Can we get that list for january 20th to fix that
system too?

Speaker 1 (22:41):
oh, don't go there I'm just throwing that out there
we get, we're fixing anythingelse.
Honestly, though, at this point.
I don't know that you could fixit like I.
It would be such a hard switch.
Aren't we the only country thatdoes it, not the only.
There's a few, there's not many, but there's not many most of
them just pay, you know, a wage.

Speaker 2 (22:58):
That again this is going down a rabbit hole, but it
goes to the whole.
When you buy something in thestore and you see the price, but
then you've got to add taxlater, right, you know a lot of
countries put that in.
It's already in the price, likeyou don't pay any like.
What you see is what you pay,there's no additional, which I
think I would prefer that Iwould too.

Speaker 1 (23:15):
I would like just knowing what I'm because then,
sitting there like I mean heck,we, we've all been there when I
first got married and you'resitting there like I've got like
$40 to shop groceries with andlike got to add it up.

Speaker 2 (23:30):
I can think about tip or tax and then certain things,
especially in our state certainthings are taxed at a higher
percentage than certain fooditems and break it up.
Then you're looking at somethings going as a single soda.
Is this food or is this candy?

Speaker 1 (23:40):
Is this the 2% one?

Speaker 2 (23:41):
or is this?

Speaker 1 (23:42):
the 6% one, so it's really hard.

Speaker 2 (23:44):
You know, in the store it's annoying, but when
you really see it is when you gobuy expensive items.
Right, like somebody goes andbuys a new car, right, and
you're like I'll buy this$20,000 car.
Well, wait a minute.
Now there's tax.
Well, like state of NorthCarolina, it's 3%.
Is that what it is on a vehicletax?

Speaker 1 (24:01):
So you just added a ton to a $20,000 car Exactly.
And that's where it's hard,because you're like, oh, I
budget for this.
And then it's like, hang on,you go get the tag for that
thing.
And they're like, yeah, you'vegot to pay your taxes on it.
You've got to pay your,depending on where you live.
If you live in the city, cityand state, it's a whole mess.
Again, I don't want to go down.
There's not a whole lot.

(24:30):
That's off limits for whatwe'll talk about.
We don't really talk politicsjust because it doesn't really
interest either of us, I'll sayit's not really off limits.

Speaker 2 (24:39):
It's just some things we don't have no desire to go
down.
It's hot, but we just don'treally.

Speaker 1 (24:42):
I don't follow it enough to really know enough.
Honestly, either side no.

Speaker 2 (24:46):
I agree with that.

Speaker 1 (24:47):
So I just don't really mess with it.
But speaking of money Money, um, but speaking of money money,
we've had kind of thisdiscussion.
We're going to jump into somesports stuff.
Jim Laranega, miami basketballhead coach, yep, resigning,
you're just getting after metonight Like what am I after you
?

Speaker 2 (25:06):
now, Cause I don't like this topic either.

Speaker 1 (25:08):
I have wow, you're, you're up on this one too.
I am yeah Well.
So honestly, I just felt it wasa good segue, you're up on this
one too.

Speaker 2 (25:15):
I am yeah Well.
So honestly, I just felt it wasa good segue.

Speaker 1 (25:16):
I'm getting better, it's going right into everything
I don't like apparently Listen.
I could sit here and talk for10 days about stuff you don't
like.

Speaker 2 (25:23):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (25:23):
That's not hard Shots fired.

Speaker 2 (25:27):
Am I wrong?
I?

Speaker 1 (25:28):
don't know.
Okay, shut up.
I saw the look on the face.

Speaker 2 (25:32):
I know I'm not.
I like a lot of stuff.

Speaker 1 (25:34):
I didn't say you don't like things.
I just know you don't like alot of things.

Speaker 2 (25:38):
But see, ain't that the way it's supposed to be?
If you don't like something,just say I don't like it, move
on, too many people are pleasers.
Yes, man, I guess you'd say ohno, I just don't care, I just
don't say anything about it.

Speaker 1 (25:53):
I just go on.

Speaker 2 (25:56):
You usually are like yeah, I don't like that.
I just kind of don't do thatanymore.
Sometimes I take beingstraightforwardness a little bit
too much and I'm just like I'lltell you what I think.

Speaker 1 (26:04):
Well, yeah, I mean, there's certain things.
If you don't want to know fromyou, don't ask.

Speaker 2 (26:08):
If you don't want to know the truth from me, do not
ask me for the truth.

Speaker 1 (26:11):
All, do not ask me for the truth, alright.
Well, you're already mad atthis topic.
Alright, let's go.
Jim Laranega, miami basketballhead coach, yep, stepping down.
Yep, we kind of I think we bothhad this as a topic because as
soon as we saw it, it was likewe did.
Yeah, so the headline, how theypushed it was, oh, you know,
jim Laranega.
He made it to a Final Four.
He had this great team andreally, kind of before true

(26:35):
preseason started, eight of hisguys were want to transfer out
and it's like, well, the wholenil's messing it and it's whole
like they.
They really played him kind ofas a victim to start with.
Yeah, like he, he dideverything he could and they
just they wanted more money.
Like that's how, that's how itwas perceived to me when they
first announced it.
Okay, keep going ahead, I'llkeep going.
No, that's, that's how.

Speaker 2 (26:55):
That's how it was perceived to me when they first
announced it okay, keep going,go ahead.
Oh, keep going.

Speaker 1 (26:58):
No, that's what I want, that's how I wanted to
open it and then obviouslythere's a little more to it as
you kind of read into it andthen really, if you really look
back, he was one of the firstbig nil pushers.
He was like he's one of those,I'm gonna go spend some money,
I'm gonna team.

Speaker 2 (27:12):
The whole, all these kids want is more money is kind
of the old schoolers findingsomething to complain about
because they don't like that.
They're making money.
Sure, and you know talkingabout eight players that wanted
to leave.
Well, they're only therebecause you paid them.
How long did you think theywere going?

Speaker 1 (27:30):
to stay.
So none of the guys that he hadwere really recruited by amy,
just miami to start with.
They weren't guys that.
You know.
I dream about playing for miamior or really even like honestly
, when you look at places and ifmiami's going to pay a bunch of
money or you know oklahoma'sgoing to pay money, nothing
against oklahoma, but the cityof miami verse anything in

(27:52):
oklahoma, like miami, has a stepahead because of the area.

Speaker 2 (27:56):
When you go get these guys and pay them a bunch of
money, you know they're chasingmoney.
So if a bigger bag comes alonglater, they're out.

Speaker 1 (28:04):
You already know that , especially right now, these
guys are going to try to get asmuch money as they can, because
it's going to change, it's goingto change it is and it needs to
change it does.

Speaker 2 (28:17):
But what is different about these kids going and
trying to get a bunch of moneyversus him going to get a bunch
of money as a for a coach?

Speaker 1 (28:23):
So so to me, part of the difference I see is he's
under contract, he he has tomeet certain requirements, he
can be fired.
He can be.
Let go these, these kids thatyou promised this money to.
There's really nothing you cando Once you tell them this is
our money.
I mean actually I saw Briantoday, florida State's coach,
getting sued over promised.

Speaker 2 (28:43):
NIL stuff.
Is he still there, ex-coach?
No, he's not there anymore.

Speaker 1 (28:48):
But I mean, that's something you see.
But as a whole, when you say,hey, I'm going to pay you a
million dollars, some of thesekids barely play.
Oh, I know You've got to getcontracts.

Speaker 2 (28:59):
The kids have got to get contracts, just like the
coaches.

Speaker 1 (29:04):
Again, I'm not against paying the kids.
They make the NCAA billions ofdollars every year, especially
football, basketball.
Your major sports, the majorones yeah, again, I think you
should pay the other ones too,like your smaller sports, your
swimming, your soccer, yourtennis, like they should still
get something they should likebecause they're they're still
you know everybody's like well,they're on scholarship to go
there, so that's their money,but it's tough because if they

(29:24):
work themselves into some kindof deal, good for them.
Yes, I'm not saying it shouldbe mandatory to pay them, but if
they especially some localsmall stuff in their hometown
that helps them now be allowedto accept money from them.
You know, if we have somebodyfrom Brevard, really small area,
that's going D1 and he works adeal with somebody local to give
him some money, good for him,oh, absolutely.

Speaker 2 (29:46):
Good for him, whatever sport it is he, she,
whatever In any business.
Any business it's how muchvalue are you bringing?
Right?
And when people complain aboutprofessional sports how much
they're making, well, it'sbecause they're bringing in that
much money.
I mean, they're bringing in waymore than that.
That's what makes it worth.

Speaker 1 (30:01):
Well, yeah, I mean like if you look at the NBA,
they're getting what like 6%,yeah, of what's being made by
the NBA, like so they're notreally getting much of athletes
like if they are bringing youmillions, it's okay to pay them
a million or two or whatever itis you know I just, I just think
there's got to be some morecontrol of it, because right now
it is an absolute free-for-all.
The transfer portal is nolonger the transfer portal, it's

(30:23):
the free agency, oh, it is freeagency.

Speaker 2 (30:25):
and but with this whole coach thing, my biggest
problem has happened a coupletimes now.
Yeah, they know the nilsituation before the season
starts.
Oh, absolutely Way beforemonths ago they knew what it was
like.
Even him again, he went andbought players himself.
He knows what it is Right.
And now you're a third of theway through the season and you

(30:45):
said quit, so they're like fourand eight right now, or
something like that.
Yeah, I don't think it's thatgood.
It's not good, it's nothingvery good.

Speaker 1 (30:51):
I think it's actually like 4-8.
If they're 11-1, does he sayanything?

Speaker 2 (30:56):
No, is he leaving?
He's fine.
It's an excuse to leave, butthe players can't leave right
now, or they?

Speaker 1 (31:05):
don't get to play this season.
Well, I would say so.
We saw it with UNLV in football.
Both their starting quarterbackand running back before their
fourth game said I'm going toredshirt and enter the transfer
portal, but their season's over.
Yeah, they can't do anythingLike a coach.
Theoretically he could leavenow, and if somebody picks him
up and hires him, he could go.

Speaker 2 (31:22):
Didn't they get a lot of slack for that and criticism
for oh, they took a ton ofslack for that.

Speaker 1 (31:27):
Yeah, and so, and again, I don't know enough about
that story because there'sgoing to be a lot of that's kind
of behind closed doors.
You know, quarterback is sayingyou promised me money that I'm
not now getting, so I'm going togo elsewhere.

Speaker 2 (31:39):
If you have a contract, you don't have to
worry about that.

Speaker 1 (31:40):
Correct, that's weird , but see, that's where I like
the idea of a contract wherekind of like with some of the
pro stuff is here's a basenumber, x amount of dollars,
incentives per thing.

Speaker 2 (31:53):
And give them buyouts .
So if you go to another school,that school or you have to pay
to buy out of your contract,right, I think that'll slow down
your transfer portal stuff,yeah it would, because right now
the big name Quinn Ewers $4million potentially to go
somewhere.

Speaker 1 (32:08):
Oregon's talking about getting him.
Some of these teams and it'slike they are still playing for
a national championship, likethey won their first round.
They are now moving on to playArizona state.
He's the starting quarterbackand we're talking about giving
him money to go somewhere else.
And it's just that's freeagency.

Speaker 2 (32:24):
That's not transfer.
And so this coach.
I don't know a lot about hispast.
You know I've seen some and hewas a good coach.

Speaker 1 (32:31):
Yeah, and he was a good coach.

Speaker 2 (32:35):
yeah, so he's a good he took george basin yeah, final
four yeah, so he's.
That was a fun year, goodcareer.
Now I don't.
I think the only success he hadat miami was because he bought
those players, but regardlesshe's a good coach and my problem
no, but my problem is the mediais painting it out as he's the
hero, whatever, when any kidthat walked out in the middle of
season, we immediately talknegative on them.

Speaker 1 (32:55):
Yes, but the coach that does it.
It's like, oh, we appreciatehim standing up, and it's like
make it make sense I want to see.

Speaker 2 (33:02):
I want to see a kid that steps up and says I hate
the nil system.
I'm backing out right middleseason.
See what people do to him Idon't know that.

Speaker 1 (33:10):
I don't think you get one probably not, because you
think about it when they'rebad-mouthing some of these.
If they bad-mouth some of theseadults kind of know what you
signed up for when you're a headcoach at these big schools.
When you get them talking badabout you on first take or on
sports center or whatever it maybe, you're in the limelight,

(33:31):
You're kind of going to get thatposition, but they always kind
of leave the kids alone to anextent they should.
Now, when you get pro, it's alittle different.
In pros.
You hear them kind of talk badabout them Not quite as bad as
they do coaches, but they dodefinitely talk down on them.

Speaker 2 (33:47):
That could be the kind of thing of you know these
are kids, we don't want them.
Whoa that one.
You know these are kids, wedon't want them.
Whoa that one snuck up on you alittle choke till there.
We don't want them to beprofessional subject yeah, it's
really emotional to me.
Um, we don't want them to beprofessionals to where you know.
The media can then feel likeyou know, because if you're

(34:08):
getting paid millions of dollars, you can be criticized a whole
lot more.
Oh absolutely but at the sametime, we are.
These are kids, but they're notkids.
Like you can send 18 year oldto the military and and do all
that stuff right.
Like these are 18 year old kidsgoing off to college, 19, 20,
whatever they are.
Well, I mean for some of them.
They're 17.

Speaker 1 (34:25):
Yeah, like some of these kids they go early and
they're it's a business, likeit's okay, it is so.
So that's kind of where I keepgoing back to contracts, maybe
some type of collectivebargaining, something that
there's somebody there trying tohelp them because, like right
now, like they're getting thesemillions and like they're having

(34:45):
to pay for finance people andthey're paying this, they're
paying that, and it's like maybewe do this a bit smarter and
try to help set them up.
I wish some of these kids aremaking money now.
That's the money they're goingto make.
They're not going to make it.

Speaker 2 (34:57):
I wish the school was paying the kids and any NIL
type stuff the kids does.
The school gets back, kind oflike set the contract up Like
we're going to pay you so manymillion dollars but everything
you know, you're going to docommercials for us, you're going
to do all this other and youdon't get paid for that senior
contract kind of appearance typestuff.

Speaker 1 (35:14):
you know whatever and that way the kids guarantee
this money.
That's kind of what's happenedto some of the smaller
businesses.
People are like, hey, you haveto show up x amount of times a
year, and it's usually but do itto the school and there's not
all this stuff going around.

Speaker 2 (35:25):
But that's me requires the school.

Speaker 1 (35:28):
You'd almost have to hire like an advisor for that
that like helps.
Oh, you would like I don't knowwhat some kind of manager of
some type that just kind ofhandles all that which every
athletic team, especially thebigger ones, need some kind of
uh, gm or something to handlethe money more than just
contracts and, like a head coach, has enough to deal with.

(35:51):
He doesn't need to.

Speaker 2 (35:52):
That's why you see head coaches leaving, just like
this one.
You saw nick saban do it, and abunch of them have talked about
it.
If they had that person, maybethey could, maybe they stay
coach and yeah, well, I don'thave to worry about the money as
much.

Speaker 1 (36:03):
Um, which is hard because the head coach is gonna
have to be involved some becausewhen you go recruit these high
school kids, you know these top10 kids that you know the ones
you always talk about.
There's always that when you goin you kind of have to say and
here's the money we're going tobring.
Yeah, you know, it may change alittle bit, um, but if you

(36:23):
could take some of that out ofthe hands of the head coach, I
do think that would help itwould help them yeah, um, but
now I kind of really didn't havethis on here to kind of just
remind me of that.
This whole JUCO doesn't count asyour eligibility, it's a whole
nother.
There's gonna be a lot of highschool kids that don't get
looked at, so they're gonna gothrough JUCO and what I see.

Speaker 2 (36:44):
They're battling it.
It's going back into courtagain right now.
It's still saying it doesn'tcount.

Speaker 1 (36:50):
I say so.
They still are fighting some ofthat, but while it's in kind of
this litigation period, it'sbeing held as we're counting it
Like we're not going to count it, so it's still up for.

Speaker 2 (37:01):
So I get how it's going to change things, but
change isn't always bad, andthat's where I'm trying to
figure out.
Is it bad, is it good?
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (37:09):
The kind of somewhat the problem I have of it is
you're going to start seeingmore like 26, 27-year-old
college seniors and at thatpoint, like some of these kids
are going to be nothing morethan college players, like
they're going to peak.
That's going to be it for them,yeah, but then it's also going

(37:31):
to become well, they playedthere, then they're going to
transfer, then they're going totransfer, then they're going to
transfer, then they're going totransfer, and you're going to
have played for eight differentschools chasing money,
especially if that part doesn'tchange yet and it just kind of
gets out of hand at that point.

Speaker 2 (37:46):
No, I see your point there if it stays that way.
But if they fix the money partwith the contracts or however
else, they do it to kind of getkids to stay at schools longer,
right, and at that point we'rekind of making college the minor
leagues correct.

Speaker 1 (38:01):
So I don't see a problem with a 26 year old in
minor league basketball,basically, if that's what we're
saying, or minor league football, I don't um, I just think where
we're, where the ncaa ischasing money so much, you kind
of stop looking out for thosekids Because, I mean, you and I
both know being in our 30s, thecloser you get to that number,

(38:22):
the less your body handlesthings, oh yeah, and if you're
playing, eight years of collegefootball.
your body's going to bedestroyed Like, don't get me
wrong, these guys do it in theNFL and they're in a certain
shape.

Speaker 2 (38:35):
But isn't that the way baseball is Like, when you
get into minor league baseballand you're going through all the
different levels.

Speaker 1 (38:41):
Baseball's different.
It depends on how high of aprospect are you.
So you know some of theseJackson Holiday kids and the
ones that are just big, bignames, they're not starting at
the bottom.
They.
And the ones that are just big,big names, they're not starting
at the bottom.

Speaker 2 (38:57):
They're going to get a really small stint in AA,
moving to AAA, but won't thatsame thing will happen in
college football or basketball?
If you're that good, you'regoing to go to the NBA or
whatever, maybe, but you know Ilove going to minor league
baseball games.

Speaker 1 (39:06):
I just think it's going to crowd it up so much
that I think you're then justgoing to see more and more
movement, because there's gonnabe so many kids that, like now,
have peaked, whether it be thattwo years of juco and now all of
a sudden you know ohio state,or georgia, or texas, or these
guys like, well, we're bringingin our next quarterback and the
guy that's really good rightbehind then, then it transfers,

(39:26):
and then it transfers.
It's just it's gonna get reallycrowded.
So I'm just not sure how it'sgonna work.
I'm not saying necessarily thatit's 100% bad.
I'm really not sure how it'sgoing to work at its best.

Speaker 2 (39:36):
It's going to take some work to figure it all out,
and that's what somebody's gotto do.
I wouldn't mind seeing italmost a minor league baseball
system, because I think it works.

Speaker 1 (39:48):
Maybe Again, I'm not against it.
I think we've got to clear upsome of the stuff with it.

Speaker 2 (39:54):
It's got to be different.

Speaker 1 (39:55):
It's the same thing.
Like we said with the footballplayoff, we've got to clear up
some stuff on how we pick theseteams and things.

Speaker 2 (40:02):
But wouldn't it be great if you was, I don't know,
let's say in the NBA team?
I don't know.
Charlotte Hornets, NotCharlotte, what are they?
Yeah, the Hornets Hornets now.
Didn't they change the name fora while?
I don't remember that's been along time ago.

Speaker 1 (40:15):
I don't know.
They've been the Hornets for along time.
I don't know.
It's not been Bobcats sinceMany, many years ago.
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (40:21):
But let's say It'd be nice if you could Do what the
Major League Baseball teams do,and you draft somebody and you
put them in a minor leagueprogram and you put them through
some different levels, I meanyou have the G League, the G
League, but it's not any good.
Nobody cares about the G League.

Speaker 1 (40:37):
There are very few players that come out of the G
League, that actually go make adifference in the NBA.
There are some, but you're notgetting your stars in there.
But the G League what's kind ofnice with some of that is you
have these guys signed two-waywhere you can bounce them back
and forth and they can play alittle bit of both.

(41:01):
Yeah, that helped.
A lot of those guys are stillnot gonna be nba guys.
A big problem with the g leaguethere's no eyes on that.
Like, if you don't have a teamto you locally, you're not going
to travel to see, but don't youthink minor league baseball is
the same way?
the difference is there's somany more minor league teams.
There is a lot.
So because you have Single AShout out.

Speaker 2 (41:16):
Jumbo Shrimp.
By the way, I love going toJumbo Shrimp, jacksonville,
jacksonville, yeah, well see,I'm one of the Asheville
tourists.
That's single A See, I've neverbeen there, you've never been
to.

Speaker 1 (41:24):
McCormick oh that's a great one.
Well, so it's getting redone,which I'm excited about.
The Astros Fun little place.
Noah loves it because they havea dollar hot dog night.
So dollar hot dog night, I'dget Noah to go to a baseball
game.
That'd be nice.
Might eat some hot dogs thatnight.
Yeah, I mean, it's just a goodlittle stadium.
You can see everywhere.
See, it's fun.

Speaker 2 (41:45):
Even though there are 30-year-olds out there, some of
them probably playing baseball,it's still fun.

Speaker 1 (41:50):
So, because you have like single A, you've got high A
, you've got double A, you'vegot these summer league teams,
which you know we have one inHendersonville, yep, but ours
actually was the head coach ofthem for seven years, I know I
didn't realize he wasn't anymoreuntil as of like very, very
recent.

Speaker 2 (42:06):
Yeah, so they hired a new head coach.

Speaker 1 (42:08):
Like when I was living in Shelby we had the
Forest City Owls that we used togo watch.
That was summer league.
A lot of your college guys comeand play wood bat stuff.
But then because there's somany more teams and it's just
out there so much more, I feellike that gets a little bit more
to it.
But at the same time baseballhas so many more players Because

(42:30):
you've got to think likebaseball there's nine on a field
at a time, plus pitchers.
There's at least five in arotation, but then relievers and
closers.
So like you've got, it's a bigteam.
So there's a lot more playerstoo, that you know.
You're going pro Basketball.
Not many is going pro.
Football is large teams, butstill you know there's no middle

(42:50):
ground for it.

Speaker 2 (42:52):
You just brought a random thought to my head.
Okay, why is baseball the onlysport I think the only sport
that the coach in quotationshere wears a uniform like
they're playing?
Nobody else does that, no othersport.

Speaker 1 (43:07):
So the manager, because they're the manager.

Speaker 2 (43:10):
Exactly, they're the manager.

Speaker 1 (43:11):
That's why I say coach, but no other sport that I
know of you imagine basketballcoach on the sideline wearing a
jersey and shorts hey, will callme, because when you get to,
when you get to this point, callme and answer that, because I
feel like you'll probably know,because I don't.
I really don't know.
I did back in the day, did theylike?

Speaker 2 (43:29):
jump in the game so like a player coach thing.
I really gotta be ready to go,because I'm sure it's.
It's been that way forever andit's something they just keep
going with because of that, butI don't know.

Speaker 1 (43:40):
Here's the thing, I don't mind it I don't mind like,
I think it looks cool yeahwhich not all of them wear just
like the full, like it uses likepants and you know, a pullover
of some kind, especially some ofthe younger guys that are
managers in Major League.
Now that it's a weird kind ofseeing Because I'm like I
remember watching them growingup and like they're managers now
, like a lot of them are notreally wearing the top the same

(44:01):
way, but I remember likethinking like as a Braves fan,
bobby Cox, bobby Cox, that'sokay, Like that's the one that
comes to mind.
It's wear the uniform the sameway, chipper wore the uniform it
fits different but he lookedlike he was.

Speaker 2 (44:14):
He could go out there and bat like he was in full
uniform.

Speaker 1 (44:16):
That man would have fell over trying to, trying to
get to home plate.
What do you say his?
Uniform looked like he's likeon the team sorry bobby cox, I
used to love him like there's nohate there.

Speaker 2 (44:26):
No no, no, no.

Speaker 1 (44:27):
I just don't know why that's one thinking of that,
though, like bobby cox, it takesme back.
Chipper jones andrew jones,andres galarraga um ryan glavin
matic smoltz like the team wasthe team.

Speaker 2 (44:39):
God that was such a fun fun era of baseball.

Speaker 1 (44:41):
And again, not saying baseball is bad now because
there's, these guys are super,super talented like cross the
board.

Speaker 2 (44:47):
I don't really watch baseball anymore.
I didn't.

Speaker 1 (44:49):
I haven't watched it nearly as much um, I enjoy it
when I get, when I really justget time to it.
But, like, my kids don't reallylet me watch it because they're
like, oh, this is boring, Idon't want to watch this.
We're on a big Power Rangerskick right now with the little
one.
He's watched Power Rangers likecrazy.

Speaker 2 (45:07):
I haven't seen.

Speaker 1 (45:07):
Power Rangers in years.
So I'm not really getting towatch the sports the way I'd
like to, so you're not gettingto watch much at all but Power
Rangers Well so I mean you buythis big TV to put on the wall
and I end up watching sports onmy phone.

Speaker 2 (45:17):
Yeah, that's how it is Like that's what happens, and
it's ridiculous.

Speaker 1 (45:20):
That's why I'm trying to get the kids into sports, so
they'll sit there and watchthem with me sports, but he
doesn't last long, like he justdoesn't have the attention to
sit there like I'm gonna watch asports game.
Nobody has attention anymore.
No, that's very true.
That's very, very true.
Um, yeah, I don't haveattention to read my own notes

(45:45):
here.
So so one thing I saw a coupledays ago and I kind of laughed
at it north carolina played yuknin a bowl game.

Speaker 2 (45:55):
Didn't watch the bowl game.
Were we talking basketball orwere we talking?

Speaker 1 (45:57):
No, we're going to football because we're talking
about baseball stadium orbaseball, and it made me think
of this.
So they played.
I think they said it was atFenway.
I hate when they do that.
They played a football game Atone point.
I think it was UConn that hadthe ball.
They're on like the 25 orsomething.
Half the broadcast is not seenbecause the foul pole's in the

(46:20):
way and I'm like and again Ifeel the same way Like we have
football stadiums, play in afootball stadium, yeah, like
play at the.
Patriots stadium up there, likeit's the same area.

Speaker 2 (46:31):
Like.
That makes no sense to me.
But they get like the corner ofthe end zone, like a wall right
there or something becausethey're so close, trying to fit
them in.
Because it's not made for thosedimensions.

Speaker 1 (46:39):
The fans can't really get in there the same way,
correct?
Or didn't they do a footballgame or something at one of the
NASCAR stadiums?

Speaker 2 (46:47):
No, that's okay, I don't mind that.
So the issue I have with it,the stands are so far away.
Well, so it's Bristol MotorSpeedway.

Speaker 1 (46:54):
So it's a small track .

Speaker 2 (46:55):
It is small, it is a big bowl.
You're not there.
It's not the same.
I don't know if you know this.
They're doing a baseball gamethere next year and I don't know
exactly how it's going to work.
Braves and Reds are going toplay in the middle there.

Speaker 1 (47:06):
Might have to go to that game.

Speaker 2 (47:15):
I'll go.
I saw some um kind of a diagramof how the field's supposed to
lay out.
Looks okay, but you're gonnahave the same thing.

Speaker 1 (47:17):
Yeah, I just I hate you have some.
I love the experience, likelike you guys went down to uh,
clemson, kentucky not that longago.
I've been to that you knowlittle john coliseum, a ton.
You feel like it's not, it'snot really big no, it's not,
you're right, it's a great seateverywhere, like you feel like
you're just right there.
So when you really getstretched out and now your front
row seat is way away from whereyou're at, it just doesn't feel

(47:39):
the same.

Speaker 2 (47:40):
Yeah, we're talking about the Kentucky game, that's.
You know.
I think they hold 8,000 or9,000 down there at Clemson
Right Little John Stadium,somewhere in that range.
You go to Rep Arena in.
It's very different.
Well, it's the same thing.

Speaker 1 (47:51):
I mean, I'm a Tar Heel basketball fan and have
been my entire life.
You know, the Dean Dome is big,that's a big arena.
So like when you go to Clemson,or really you go to Duke, go to
Cameron that's a tiny littleplace.
That's a few thousand.
It's just very, very different.
But yeah, so I knew when Ibrought up a football game at a

(48:11):
baseball stadium you'd havesomething to say about that.
See, you're still just bringingup stuff I don't like.
Apparently, maybe that's justwhat it is tonight, maybe.
But I just remembered I saw thevideo and I'm like I don't even
know what happened.

Speaker 2 (48:23):
And it was kind of a big play that you couldn't see.
A man doesn't like what hedoesn't like.
That's just what it is.
Or you just little, can't thinkof anything at the moment.
But what do you like?
Uh, ask me again tomorrow.
I gotta think about it for aminute.
That's a hard question.
What do you like?

Speaker 1 (48:41):
you know, I mean, honestly, I like food, like I
like food, I mean see, but ittook me two seconds and then you
just jumped on on board exactly.

Speaker 2 (48:48):
Yeah, the roll in the eyes.
Who doesn't like food?

Speaker 1 (48:51):
like come on I mean there's, I listen, I know some
people, I've watched them eat.
I'm like you can't like food toCome on.
I mean there's listen, I knowsome people, I've watched them
eat.
I'm like you can't like food toeat that way.

Speaker 2 (48:57):
I was going to say.
That's kind of like saying Ilike sleep, but I don't like
sleep either.
I see you don't like sleep,you've always said that Sleep is
a waste of time.
Oh, my gosh.

Speaker 1 (49:04):
But the thing is though, okay, think about it.

Speaker 2 (49:19):
We drove to Nashville nashville yesterday.

Speaker 1 (49:20):
Oh, I know you had no sleep the night before.
You slept like three hours.
It was not good, and then youdrove the entire way.
Yeah, we drove over there backsame day.
Yeah, I mean what 14 and a halfhours, I think.
We left the house just afterseven.
You know, during a tornadowarning of all things rained the
entire way there, so thatdidn't help it.
And then didn't get back toyour house till what 9 30 or so.
I mean it's pretty late 9 30,so it was a long day.
I got after that.

Speaker 2 (49:38):
I was so happy to sleep probably two and a half
hours out.
I'm not an energy drink personand I had to have a red bull.

Speaker 1 (49:45):
Yeah, I still have a red weather cooler and I was
like well, so that's what I wastelling my wife today.
I was like look, I didn't driveat all like david and I
absolutely would have.
Yeah, I have no problem doingthat.

Speaker 2 (49:54):
I like to drive.
I know you do.
I like something, I like todrive.
Hey, there you go, you likesomething?

Speaker 1 (50:04):
The next segment.
Let's find things that Davidlikes.
We may be here a while, but no,yes, I do.
So you're like Amanda's thesame way.
She likes to drive, like whenwe go places, she does prefer it
.
Um and again I it doesn'tbother me, I don't really care,
but yes, if you need me to drivea car, it's really easy, even
in like seats the same way yeah,she's the same way.
Um, but I told her today I waslike he even made comments at

(50:28):
point.
If I wanted to sleep, I could,but I felt bad yeah, I'm like I
want to help him stay awake.
So like I'm going to try tostay awake, but there was a
section there it was like Idon't know if I can.

Speaker 2 (50:38):
Like I did?

Speaker 1 (50:39):
I stayed awake the entire time.

Speaker 2 (50:40):
You did, you did, but it was.
It was time to stop.
I needed to stop Cause yeah.
Yeah, I mean I got a Dr Peppersweet tarts and a slice of pizza
to keep me up.

Speaker 1 (50:53):
You you got diabetes is what you got.

Speaker 2 (50:56):
Okay, listen.
Sorry, hayley, you're alreadygonna yell at me again well,
what was his name?

Speaker 1 (51:02):
like clifford, something that did those
commercials, and he alwayscalled it diabetes.

Speaker 2 (51:05):
Clifford the big red dog no, oh my gosh, that's like
clifford.

Speaker 1 (51:08):
I know I can't remember his name, but he used
to those commercials and he'slike hi, I'm such such and I
have diabetes like somebodymight lc.

Speaker 2 (51:14):
We used to do those commercials and he's like hi,
I'm such and such and I havediabetes.
So a buddy of mine, lce.

Speaker 1 (51:17):
We used to watch those commercials when we were
working real late.

Speaker 2 (51:22):
It was hilarious.

Speaker 1 (51:23):
Actually, James will probably listen to this and
he'll probably remember uswatching that video.
So I'll probably get a textabout that before long.
But yeah, so I'm sitting therelike what did you get to keep
you awake?
And you're like, well, I don'treally drink energy drinks, so I
had gotten one.
I'm like I got to try to keepmyself awake too, to help you,
and you actually didn't mind theone you got it was actually
good, but you're like I have aRed Bull, a hot chocolate, a Dr

(51:46):
Pepper and sweet.
I had to stop and use thebathroom 15,000 times, which you
do that anyways, that's true.
But that much stuff, yeah, youwere struggling.
I never finished the Dr Pepper.
So the thing is, I bought stufftoo, and you had a piece of
pizza.
Oh yeah, because it was prettylate.
We hadn't eaten anything sincethat massive lunch.

(52:07):
That was awful, that was nogood.
So we had a piece of pizza andthen I drank my Red Bull.
I didn't eat the other stuff,Like I had bought a couple other
things.

Speaker 2 (52:15):
I think you got some candy or something you never
opened.

Speaker 1 (52:17):
Well, I had some Starburst, that's right, that's
what it was, because I was likeI just want something to kind of
just eat here and there, and Ididn't eat up any Wow goodness
gracious that truck it got meOur friend that drives by all
the time really loud, that brianlikes to listen.
For let's stop and get him onthe podcast.
I don't know that I want him onthe podcast I don't know, I
don't know who he is.
I mean, this is about the timeof night, though, that he comes

(52:39):
by.
I mean he gets an appearance onhere all the time, so he does.
We're giving him a freepublicity, um.
But yeah, so I got all thatstuff and it was like never even
ate it.
I think I was just trying toforce myself to stay awake
because I got really tired therefor a bit, yep, and then the
GPS killed us.
We're on 26, still good waysaway from our exit, and it's

(53:01):
like, oh, you're 30 minutes away, because I remember you made
the comment I can make it tohere from my house in 30 minutes
.

Speaker 2 (53:07):
There's no way.
I thought you were talkingabout the other part.
But yes, you're right, thatpart.
I was thinking of the otherpart where I'm thinking we're
getting home at a certain time.

Speaker 1 (53:14):
Oh right.

Speaker 2 (53:15):
And all of a sudden it tells me to take this exit
coming up and I'm like that'snot right and so I pulled up and
what it was trying to do,because Forty's closed down it
was trying to take us throughthe mountains and the hot
springs't bad if it's decentweather and I'm not pulling a

(53:36):
trailer.
It is like I'll go that wayanytime I have no, oh yeah, I
don't either, but yeah, I didn'treally want to be in that tire,
super windy, I mean it was.
It was like 15 mile an hour onthe low side, yeah so then when
I fix it, it's like add another30 minutes, like come on well,
but then we're to that section.

Speaker 1 (53:51):
It oh, you have 30 minutes.
And then we drove 10 minutesand it still said 30 minutes.
We drove another 10 minutes andit dropped like 28.

Speaker 2 (53:58):
And I'm like yeah, that wasn't right.
It was even tired.
It was like y'all been drivingtoo much today.

Speaker 1 (54:02):
Yeah, it turned me off.
This is getting old, it's likenobody drives as much in one day
.
Well, so that?
And then we got to talk do likelong haul trucking, there's no
shot.
When I was a kid, that's what Iwanted to do.
I would be so bored, but I liketo drive, so I don't know well.
I mean, I mean, you know, myprevious job would be driving
around hours and hours, yeah,yeah I mean it's.

(54:24):
It's different, though, becauseyou can stop.

Speaker 2 (54:27):
That's what I see we was talking about getting.
We need all the truckerslistening.
So any truckers listening.
Hey, keep listening.

Speaker 1 (54:32):
Thank you, you got nothing else to do, you're just
driving, that's true, um, butmaybe when you get all the
truckers to listen.

Speaker 2 (54:34):
So any truckers listening, hey, keep listening.
Thank you, because you've gotnothing else to do, you're just
driving.
No, that's true, but maybe whenyou get all the locals you know
police officers and all thatthey're driving around.

Speaker 1 (54:40):
I mean, some already listen.
Yeah, they've been making funof us for a few weeks now.
One in particular.
He's interested in a gametomorrow because South Carolina
plays Illinois.
Just because of it, I'm pickingIllinois, okay.
So when you hear this, justknow I'm picking the Fighting
Illini and you're going to hateme for it, but it's okay.
You know what?
Let's go South Carolina.

(55:02):
Dave is just trying not to geta ticket, is all that is.

Speaker 2 (55:04):
No, I think he lives down the road from me.
Yeah, he doesn't live far.
Yeah, you're really just tryingto get out of the ticket.
I may need him one day Come on.

Speaker 1 (55:12):
I'm going to call him and be like he was lying.

Speaker 2 (55:17):
He actually placed a bet on Illinois.
Listen, if one day, everythinghits the fan.
I may have to show up at hishouse.
He's going to turn you away.
He's like no, I ain't gotnothing for you Probably Get out
of here.

Speaker 1 (55:29):
You may have picked South Carolina once, but you're
not coming.
Yeah, so again, I'm notwatching that ballgame.

Speaker 2 (55:37):
Like I have no desire to watch it.
I didn't even know it was onKentucky basketball plays
tomorrow.
I'll watch it and they'replaying a nobody so.

Speaker 1 (55:43):
Well, but we're getting really close to
conference starting and the SECcould be just like SEC football.
It's getting crazy.
There's what five SEC in thetop ten.
Mm-hmm, they've got number one,they've got one and two.
No, I haven't looked today.

Speaker 2 (55:58):
I think Florida's like four, three or four or
something.

Speaker 1 (56:00):
I haven't looked at it today.
I kind of was messing aroundwith it.
Yesterday Kentucky dropped tolike ten, I think.

Speaker 2 (56:05):
They're at ten.
Auburn, yeah, auburn, maybeFlorida.

Speaker 1 (56:11):
They've got quite a bit and it's I'm just afraid
they're going to beat each other.
Is Alabama in there too?
So you've got I'm looking at itnow Tennessee 1, auburn 2,
alabama 5, florida 6.
Florida's a 6.
Now, okay, uk 10.
But then you've got Texas A&Mat 13, mississippi State at 17,

(56:32):
arkansas at 23, ole Miss at 24.
I mean, it is loaded right nowand I'm afraid it's going to be
like football.
They are just going to go beateach other.

Speaker 2 (56:41):
Yeah, but it's okay in basketball, because it's
different basketball.
The way the bracket comes outand that, and how many teams you
have.

Speaker 1 (56:48):
But though, when you play that many tough games and
it's mentally taxing, it'sphysically taxing Are you as
well rested as some of theseother schools when it comes time
for tournament, when they'vehad cupcakes all year?
Well, I mean, you look at someof these other conferences.
They don't have strength top tobottom, like there's there's a
few, you get a few good teamsand they'll.

(57:10):
You know they have some goodgames and stuff, but you don't
have just these.
We're going to beat each otherup for however many weeks over
this next I guess two months,because kind of January,
february is all kind of theconference.

Speaker 2 (57:20):
But it makes it fun for the fans.

Speaker 1 (57:22):
Oh, it's great for the fans.
You get a lot of good games.
It's great for the fans.
I'm just hoping Tar Heelssomewhat turn it around.
I mean, they played Campbell anight or two ago and didn't look
great.

Speaker 2 (57:35):
They struggled.

Speaker 1 (57:36):
Is that playing to your competition Potentially?
I mean, I do think they do thatbecause their losses and we
kind of went over that yesterdaytheir losses are all like
ranked teams, like it's all likereally good teams at this point
.
And then even then they've gota few good wins.
I mean they beat UCLA a week orso ago and that's a pretty
solid win, I'm really lookingforward to the game Saturday

(57:58):
with our youth girls basketballteam.

Speaker 2 (58:00):
This is true, We've got game one.

Speaker 1 (58:02):
Liberty.
It's game week it is.
I actually kind of forgot aboutthat.
We had practice a few hours ago.
It feels like it was foreverago.
It kind of does.
A solid practice though're.
They're picking up some stuff,and it's been it's been fun,
which I talked to will aboutthat today we're talking about.
You know, we used to coachtogether with another friend of

(58:23):
ours and and it's obviously notthe same, because obviously
you're not, you're just not init as much I mean you're, you've
practiced every single day.

Speaker 2 (58:32):
It's, it's very different and I told him I was,
like you know, we had what amonth.

Speaker 1 (58:37):
Which doesn't seem long to really practice a month,
but you practice five days aweek, so we had 20 practices for
our first game.
You know, not quite that.
We had scrimmage and stuff.
What did we have?
Five, really four, because weadded that other one.
Yeah, we added another one, sowe've had four practices and

(58:57):
they're only an hour each, soit's really really hard to teach
a lot of that, because some ofthose girls have never played.
Like some of the younger ones,have literally never played
before or have not playedorganized before, like playing
at rec centers and this ontosome off stuff but not really
really playing.

Speaker 2 (59:16):
What you see a lot in this because of the young ones
coming in never played isthere's a pretty good gap from
the good players to the onesthat have never played, and even
on our very large gap we havethat with a few that are you
know pretty well, and that's thething is like, of course, and
of course at that age like, oh,let's scrimm, let's scrimmage,
let's scrimmage, and they wantto.

Speaker 1 (59:35):
And obviously we save that for just that few minutes
at the tail end.
You know cause?
It's again, it's rec league.
We want them to have fun.
That's, that's the biggest partof it.

Speaker 2 (59:41):
Have fun learn the game and really just grow into
it.

Speaker 1 (59:57):
But it's so hard to really get everybody there.
We had eight of our tens.
You're playing four on four.
There was no way to even those.
No, there wasn't.
There's literally no way wecould have even those out really
any other way.
Because I thought at one pointit's like, oh, this should be
pretty good, and then it startedin a direction I didn't think
was going to happen and thenjust yeah, yeah, it's hard Now.

Speaker 2 (01:00:13):
there's two or three that you cannot put on the same
team when you're trying to evenit up.

Speaker 1 (01:00:17):
No, they have to be opposite every time because
they're going to cover eachother.
It's like you guys go there andwe know how it's going to
happen, but again they're doingso good.
They've improved a ton, evenjust those few weeks.
It's just they.
Literally there are twoyoungest, two smallest, and
first year for either of them toplay any organized basketball.
So it's like to see any growthalready is impressive.

Speaker 2 (01:00:41):
Oh, they were making some shots tonight.
They did.
I was surprised they did.

Speaker 1 (01:00:45):
So they both got some big high fives for that First
shot they probably made since westarted practice.

Speaker 2 (01:00:50):
So it was really really cool, that's, you know.
The entire team has just grownso much, even though it's not
been a lot of practice, and Iwish we could practice more, I
do.

Speaker 1 (01:00:58):
Well, it's a fun group to be around, like there's
just the personality that youget to get to know and all that
stuff, like it's yeah, we'vetalked about it.

Speaker 2 (01:01:04):
You know, I want to do something kind of outside of
basketball for him, or take himto, or somewhere.

Speaker 1 (01:01:12):
Just let them have some fun and enjoy it, and let
them be kids, just kind of getthem out of it and just more of
a fun hangout time Really forboth the kids and parents.
That's one thing.
We really haven't had time toget involved with parents much
because other than a group text,just because you don't have
time, you about have to just setapart time completely for that.

Speaker 2 (01:01:34):
We'll try to do that at some point.
That'll be fun, which that'spart of.
The fun is just hanging outwith the kids, I mean I enjoy
that.

Speaker 1 (01:01:41):
So that's the thing.
It's first game this weekend,2025, starting in a couple days.
Another big thing coming upvery soon PGA Tour is back.
I'm super excited about that.

Speaker 2 (01:01:54):
Oh, I didn't get to ask you about this controversy.

Speaker 1 (01:01:58):
What controversy?

Speaker 2 (01:01:58):
you got With Tiger and Charlie losing because the
guy gets to tee it up from15,000 yards ahead of him.

Speaker 1 (01:02:06):
I'll be honest with you PNC I don't care much for,
just because half the peopleplaying in it it's just they're
really not very good.
But you have a few teams thatare good.
Obviously, tigers can play withCharlie.
Get as much publicity forCharlie as you can.

Speaker 2 (01:02:20):
I'm assuming, jason Day put his son but I didn't say
not Jason Day, good Lord, I'mdoing what you're doing with
Ryan Day.
Jason Day, who am I talking?

Speaker 1 (01:02:30):
about.
I don't know who you went to,mr.

Speaker 2 (01:02:32):
Mullet, mr Mullet, you know Mr Mullet Back in the
day.
I don't know the only party guyon the PGA Tour that's played
on the PGA Tour.
What's his?

Speaker 1 (01:02:45):
name.
Listen, you have gone so farout there.
You're talking about John Daly.
John Daly, he was Daisy.
So far out there You're talkingabout John Daly.

Speaker 2 (01:02:55):
John Daly he was Daisy.

Speaker 1 (01:02:56):
But I mean, you were so lost in that one you were
never going to get there.

Speaker 2 (01:03:01):
I was not going to get there.
You were never getting there.
I knew it was Daly.
I don't know if they playedthis year or not, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (01:03:05):
I feel like I've seen them in the past few years and
I'm sure they probably did theyusually dress alike?
I just don, which again Ididn't really get to watch much
of it this year, kind of whereit fell with the holiday and
everything.
I didn't really get to watch aton yeah, I didn't watch any of
it, but yeah, so Tiger andCharlie is the best year they've
played.
I mean, they were right there atthe lead the whole two days,
but they went to a playoff.
They ended up going to aplayoff in the end with what?

(01:03:29):
Is it?
Bernard Longer?
I believe he's South African orsomething, so he's on PGA
Champions.
So who played with him?
One of his sons, I believe.

Speaker 2 (01:03:37):
Okay, I didn't know who it was who's a pretty good
golfer, he's solid.

Speaker 1 (01:03:40):
Yeah, and he is on the PGA Champions and he is the
head of the PGA Champions.
He's been player of the yearthe past several years.
He's still a he's a stunt of aplayer hitting it pretty far and
the the controversy I know whatyou're talking about is he got
to play severely forward?

Speaker 2 (01:04:00):
well, for those who don't know, compared to charlie,
there's different t-boxes,correct, and some of it has to
do a skill.
When you're learning you canget closer, but there are ladies
t-boxes I say as you get to ageit's just a age or ability.

Speaker 1 (01:04:12):
You just you don't have that kind of length, like.
Like the lpga doesn't play thesame length as the pga, but the
pga, those guys hit it so farwith every club.

Speaker 2 (01:04:21):
But in the same tournament because he's over?
Was it 55 or whatever the ageis?

Speaker 1 (01:04:26):
I don't know what yeah, he's mid upper 60s.
Okay, because of the eightbecause he's over.

Speaker 2 (01:04:30):
Whatever that age threshold is, he got to maybe
70s.
I can't tee it up a whole lotcloser to the hole than even
Charlie, who's a kid did, whichis funny because his average
driving this year was 275.

Speaker 1 (01:04:42):
Yeah, like that's not short, that's not at all.
Like, I guess for an amateurgolfer hit it decently far.
With my driver I can carry iton a good day 260, 270.
So he's hitting as far as I am,or just a little bit behind,
and again I'm not on these guys'level.

(01:05:03):
I mean, when he hits it, hehits it straight.
I just hit it Like it's alittle different.

Speaker 2 (01:05:06):
So I didn't see the playoff, but do you think that
played a part?
Because he was so much closerin that final hole?

Speaker 1 (01:05:16):
Man, we're getting the racetrack tonight.
I don't think it hurt by anymeans, Obviously it didn't hurt.
Because they play somedifferent format stuff.
You have some basketball, youhave some scramble, you have
whatever.
Actually, I didn't get to watchthe playoff live, which I
really wish I would have,because it turned out to be a
pretty good tournament there atthe end.

(01:05:36):
But yeah, to me, if you are apro, you're not the guest, you
are the pro.
You probably should have toplay back there whatever, the
set tee box is.
It's a little bit weird to playthat far forward.
Yeah, down at your local course.
And again, it's Tiger Woods.

(01:05:57):
I'd love to see him win.
Because I don't know if he'sgoing to win an actual
tournament, because thatobviously doesn't count towards
your anything, because it's justa little two-day tournament.

Speaker 2 (01:06:06):
I'd love to see that.
Do you have a problem with thetee boxes Just being separate
tees in general, or do you thinkthere should be changes?
Like, yes, they're okay, butshould they change some things
with them?
What do you mean exactly?
Well, so well, first off, areyou okay that there's different
tee boxes for your ability, foryour age, for oh, absolutely.

Speaker 1 (01:06:25):
Okay, absolutely so.
So like for me, if I may havesome distance, but I'm not like
a super good golfer, so I don'tplay from the very back.
Theoretically, so, if I'm likea scratch golfer, which in
regular terms mean that if thecourse par is 72, scratch is

(01:06:45):
going to shoot 72.
If I'm that kind of guy withthe distance I have, yes, I'm
going to play in the very backbecause it should be as hard as
I can make it.
But because I'm not that'm gonnaplay forward, so I'm gonna try
to give myself a little bit so Iagree with that.
I like the different t-boxes um, well, but I think it helps,
like if, if I want to.

(01:07:06):
You know, if my wife got biginto golf, she shouldn't play
from the same distance I play.
I'll agree with that, eventhough I'm playing.

Speaker 2 (01:07:12):
So what about when it goes to a tournament?
Even if you yourself is notprofessional, goes and plays in
a tournament.
Yeah, should people get to playfor closer than you or further
than you, depending on how theyplay?

Speaker 1 (01:07:22):
so, like the tournaments that I've played in
um, especially the oneindividual tournament that I've
played in a few years ago, itwas flighted by handicap, so if
you were in that flight, youplayed from a certain tee box,
so it didn't matter your age.

Speaker 2 (01:07:37):
No, if this is your handicap, you're playing from
this distance.

Speaker 1 (01:07:40):
Yes, Period Okay, and again they didn't play us from
the back.
We were like one or two forward.

Speaker 2 (01:07:44):
And so I'm the same way.
I like it because of thedifferent abilities, right,
especially people just gettingto play golf or just going out
and having fun Tournaments Ithink you should all play for
the same one.

Speaker 1 (01:07:54):
So, like there's an older gentleman out at the range
that we talk to literally allthe time Super, super nice guy
we're going to go play golf withhim in the spring.
He needs to play as far forwardas he can play.

Speaker 2 (01:08:04):
Because he does not have any distance anymore, but
he's not playing in a tournamentor anything like that.
So casually.

Speaker 1 (01:08:09):
Yes, and again, max Homa says it Golf is hard, golf
sucks.
Make it as easy as you can.
Try to make it Like don't beover strict, you're not playing
for money.
When it's just casual golf,keep it casual.

Speaker 2 (01:08:21):
Keep it simple.
The one thing I might like tosee different and I guess this
is each course that decides thisis the distance too far apart,
because you know some of theback ones like we'll play.
We won't play all the way back,but we'll play no.

Speaker 1 (01:08:37):
And they're pretty close together.

Speaker 2 (01:08:38):
I play one forward and even some of those, there'll
be two teams together, becausethey're really close.
Yeah, but then you startgetting into some of the seniors
and things like that andthey're way up there.

Speaker 1 (01:08:50):
So I think it just depends on the hole, because
there's a couple, even locally.
I can think of Even one forwardwhere we're playing.
Typically some of the seniorsare almost 100 yards forward of
that.

Speaker 2 (01:09:04):
I mean I've teed off before and I'm no good golfer,
by no means I've teed off in mysecond shots right around the
senior tees.

Speaker 1 (01:09:07):
I'm like, well, so there's especially like a golf
course close to us Etowah GolfCourse, I think, close to us at
a wall golf course um, I thinkit's on west makes kind of the
big turns actually.
Uh, par five goes kind of backthere into the corner and the
senior tees are at the at theturn.
Yes, the senior tees are at thespot that you were aiming from,

(01:09:31):
the t-box replay.

Speaker 2 (01:09:31):
So to me it's like I'm trying to hit that landing
zone.
That one's probably a bit muchnow I know some courses.

Speaker 1 (01:09:36):
They do it because it's kind of space constraints.
You have to put it just kind ofwhere it fits.
Where it fits.
You don't really have a choiceas much.
But sometimes, yeah, it's, it's, you're trying to help them out
.
But at what point did you makethe hole too short, like if it's
a.
if it's a big long par five, itshould still feel like a big

(01:09:57):
long par five to them, even atthose front tees it's.
It's hard to then say, well,it's a you know, 300 yard par
five.
It's just, it's a verydifferent setup, so I don't know
a true thing and I'm okay If.

Speaker 2 (01:10:10):
If you're just out there by yourself with your
buddies and you go teed up there, fine, I don't care.
Teed up in the middle of thefairway if you want to, I don't
care, have fun.
I don't care how you play, it'snot about that, it's just when
you get into tournaments andyou're playing your buddies and
you're actually trying to playagainst each other no-transcript

(01:10:37):
when they get to that point.

Speaker 1 (01:10:40):
I have heard some of those places will still let you
play by the tee box, by the teebox.
And again, to me, obviouslythere's no not technically money
involved in that.
There's some winnings andthings, but to me that's like
tournament.
You've got to all play the same.
You.
To me that's like tournament,you've got to all play the same,
you've got to play the same.
I don't want a guy that wins,that played from the senior tees
just because the guy from theback had to land at your senior
tees for some of the shots.

Speaker 2 (01:10:59):
Well, I understand the whole handicap system and
why we have it Right.
But even if you're a bettergolfer than me, but if you and I
go out and say, all right,we're playing against you, I
want to look at my handicap.

Speaker 1 (01:11:11):
You don't want to beat me because of the strokes
you were given.
You want to just win.

Speaker 2 (01:11:14):
No.
Now, if we go out ahead of timeand you say, hey, I know I'm
better than you, I'm going togive you 10 strokes, I'm going
to give you 15 strokes, orwhatever, right, then we'd agree
on that.
Fine, a little different.

Speaker 1 (01:11:23):
Yeah, but it shouldn't be which again when?
Yeah.
So I mean we look at some ofthe handicap stuff just because
we like to see where it falls.
But really typically we go playgolf, we're not really playing
against each other, we're justkind of really just going to
hang out, have fun.

Speaker 2 (01:11:40):
We go play golf, no, we don't do that with anything,
like we don't go play one-on-onebasketball in the yard and go.
I'm gonna spot you five points.
Some people would, uh, butthat's not a, there's plenty of
people I could do that with.

Speaker 1 (01:11:50):
No, that's what I'm saying um, but, but we don't
basketball is different to likeit's got to be a huge, huge,
like massive gap to do that um.
But even then you kind of justyou don't really do that, you
kind of just take it easy, youdon't, you don't give the point
gap, you just don't play yourhardest.
Um, golf is kind of hardbecause there's not really not

(01:12:11):
playing your hardest, like youcannot be like tournament
focused.
Golf is a hard sport.

Speaker 2 (01:12:16):
Golf's a very hard sport, it's fun, and I don't
want to say that and keepeverybody playing it, cause even
with me not being good, andsometimes I come to play golf,
my wife's like why do you evengo play?

Speaker 1 (01:12:27):
I've heard you at times I don't know why I do this
, but it's still fun at us to gohang out Like the guys we go
play with, or like if we're outat the range with guys like it's
just fun hanging out.
It is, you know, having a goodtime.
Golf courses are usuallybeautiful places.
A beautiful land and all thatstuff.

Speaker 2 (01:12:49):
And you know for you, you're not going if it's cold.

Speaker 1 (01:12:51):
So you know, into golf and saying I want to be
good, you have to decide whatdoes good mean, because good to
golfers can be a widespread.
For some guys they'll say, well, I just want to break 100.
That's not as easy as it sounds, and no, it's not.
But for some guys they're just,you know, I don't want to shoot
150.

(01:13:12):
If that's your goal, awesome,go have fun.
Go have fun.

Speaker 2 (01:13:16):
Like we said the other day, I don't care, I'll go
play with you, just don't beslow yeah, like don't don't take
six hours like let's, let's getmoving, but I don't care what
you shoot, but what alwayshappens to me is I'll have a you
know several good holes andthen I have somebody just fall
apart on and then I think thatwas the last time we played or
whatever.
Then I finished, or last hole,next last, I birdied it and it's
like all right, I'm ready tocome back.
I forgot everything.

Speaker 1 (01:13:37):
There's always that one shot in golf, you're like
I'm never doing this again.
You hit that and you're like,all right, I'm coming back it's
the shot that brings you backevery time well, but I mean,
there's been times we've goneand played we'll be like three
holes in and you're like oneover and everybody else may be
like three or four over, youknow, depending on just bad
shots or whatever else.
And it's like you know it isthere.

Speaker 2 (01:14:01):
It's through the 18.

Speaker 1 (01:14:02):
I always feel like nine is about enough.
See, for me, most of the time,18 is not enough.
Like I want to keep going.

Speaker 2 (01:14:08):
Oh, I don't care to play another nine, but let's
like reset the score and likestart over.

Speaker 1 (01:14:20):
Well, so there's a lot of people that look at it
that way.
Yeah, um, I've got a buddy onone of the the golf apps that I
do.
He literally plays nine stops,it starts a new round at the
next nine.
So he's like I've played nineat the back.
Yeah, now I'm seeing a newscore on the front and so he's
still gonna have that totalscore, but he's like I only want
to see this number.

Speaker 2 (01:14:31):
I think my my mind, capabilities or concentration
capability or something it's thefocus.

Speaker 1 (01:14:39):
The focus.

Speaker 2 (01:14:40):
I can't stay focused for that long.
The time it seems like Cause,then I hit a bad shot.
I'm like why, why did I do that?
Well, cause, I'm 15 holes in.

Speaker 1 (01:14:50):
I'm done Like I don't .
I'm not like super, superfocused when we're just out
having fun.
If I'm really working onsomething, or like there's a
part of my game that like I'mtrying to improve, I may focus
it on that part.
But like if I'm like gettingready for a tournament whether
it's, you know, a tournament weall go play in, or individual or
whatever it's it's justdifferent like you think about

(01:15:12):
everything.
Like I'm looking at whichdirection is the grass growing,
which kind of where your wind isat, up above the trees, what's
the wind looking like at the top?

Speaker 2 (01:15:22):
It's very, very different.

Speaker 1 (01:15:23):
So you really lock in and focus.
And I was fortunate enough togo with a good buddy of ours
this past summer who did US Openqualifying and caddied for him,
and obviously it's tiring andI'm not really in great shape at
the moment whatsoever, but it'stiring, carrying the bag,
walking for 18 holes.

(01:15:43):
Fortunately it wasn't a superup-and-down course, but mentally
I didn't realize how tired Iwould be because you're talking
through everything.
We're talking through how manypaces there and what's, what's
the wind looking like and whatkind of shot do we want to hit?
And you know, are we wanting toland it here or what's, what's
a good miss, being that you'vedone very different.

Speaker 2 (01:16:02):
Do you think at times that you can kind of
overanalyze and it mess you up?

Speaker 1 (01:16:07):
I think it depends on the person, because some people
love info, some people youcan't get a bryson dechambeau
yeah, you can't get enough infofor him.
Um.
So like playing with isaac he'snot a super huge info guy, so
like we'd get to a couple thingsand it's just the conversation
stops and at one point I canremember him saying like hey, I
need you to talk to me.
Mentally I just was so likedrained.

(01:16:29):
I was like yep, sorry, I'm here, like we're still good, yeah,
and you just get so like out ofit.

Speaker 2 (01:16:33):
But I bet if you could have stopped at like nine
you'd have been okay.
It was just the 18.

Speaker 1 (01:16:37):
Listen, it was Columbia in July.

Speaker 2 (01:16:40):
I needed to stop for oxygen at one point.

Speaker 1 (01:16:42):
It was just hot and we started with three guys and
then dropped down to two.
One guy claims he hurt hiswrist.
He was really just playingawful, but he.

Speaker 2 (01:16:53):
I did not play in that tournament.
What are you?

Speaker 1 (01:16:57):
talking about my wrist doesn't hurt, but I mean,
he was a D1 golfer, wasn'treally playing very good that
day and he actually ended up youknow DQing, but I just remember
thinking like this was like Ididn't swing a club at all today
, but mentally I am drained,just wore out.
Also, I mean the sun too, andyou know we didn't get there
till like 3am to get in thehotel, and you know, obviously

(01:17:20):
you know we're talking aboutdoing it again next year
potentially, and we're going toplan that a little bit better
because, we.
We should have been there early, we should have.
You know it's taxing.
You need to be physically in acertain way, but mentally it's
very different.

Speaker 2 (01:17:39):
My favorite part of golfing is when you do get
through nine, or maybe even whenI started.
Depends on what time we started.
I want to get some food.
I want to get a burger, a hotdog.

Speaker 1 (01:17:48):
There's this infamous burger you've talked about
since we started playing golf.
You're like, I got it this onetime.
It's the best burger I've evereaten.

Speaker 2 (01:17:55):
I'm just going to tell you it doesn't exist.
It may not exist now, but I wasone of them that got it and it
was amazing, and I got itactually two or three times, and
I don't care what you say, itwas good.

Speaker 1 (01:18:08):
I've never even seen them cooking food at that place,
I don't know what I was aboutto tell you.
Like it, just it blows my mind.
And so that's the question.
And I know I kind of wasgetting into tournament golf
getting ready to start PGA.
But one more question aboutthat, about food at golf courses
.
Because my feeling on it, ifyou don't have food at the turn,
I don't really care how nice ofa course you are.

(01:18:30):
You've let me down.
You have, yeah, and I don'tneed like like a cold sandwich
or just like a boiled hot dog.
No, make something good.
There's one course that we lovegoing to that doesn't have food
.
They've got some snacks.

Speaker 2 (01:18:42):
They've got some snacks there, like crackers and
some soft drinks, and every timeI end up stopping at a store or
somewhere getting a coldsandwich, I see.
Typically you stop at thegrocery store on the road and
get a sub a foot long and I'lleat six inches, but then when I
get to the turn, I got to pullout this cold sandwich.
That's all soggy now and I'mlike no.

Speaker 1 (01:19:01):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:19:02):
That's what I want to do.
I'm going to go around to allthe golf courses just to play
them, just to try the food.

Speaker 1 (01:19:06):
Well, so that's one thing.
As we get back into goodweather, because obviously right
now it's not good weatherObviously I want to play more
golf.
I love playing golf, I want toplay more and, as you know,
stuff out of for you golf.
We get things a little morestraightened up post hurricane
and get that all kind of backtogether.
Go play some more golf.
So for me, I'm going to analyzethe course.

(01:19:27):
I want to talk about thedifferent courses we go play.

Speaker 2 (01:19:36):
I know you want to talk about the food.
I'll tell you if it's a nicecourse as far as it looks nice,
because I don't care other thanthat and then how the food was
well.

Speaker 1 (01:19:41):
So what I go back to?
And we didn't get it at theturn, but we did get it after up
in virginia, the course weplayed.
Good food, really good food isreally good food.
Yeah, because I had a reallygood.

Speaker 2 (01:19:53):
So I want to ask you a question and I'm not asking
you to say the name.
Okay, do you know where theworst food is that we've ever
ate?
At a golf course, ooh.

Speaker 1 (01:20:04):
I don't know that I do.
It involved a crock pot.
Oh yep, Never mind.

Speaker 2 (01:20:09):
To me that's the worst food.
All you had to say.

Speaker 1 (01:20:16):
I think it was the worst I've ever had to sit in
there a while.
Yeah, like you could see it inthe water.
Yeah, we had to serve ourself,had to make it ourself.
That one was bad.

Speaker 2 (01:20:21):
You're right, I actually completely forgot about
that now, if it was fresh itmight have been good, I don't
know, but that just didn't.
I'd almost rather you not havefood, I think boiled crockpot
hot dog.

Speaker 1 (01:20:31):
Yeah, that was, that was not.
That was not a good look um,now the course is fine.

Speaker 2 (01:20:37):
We've played it a couple times.
It's not great.
I don't think it's a very nicecourse.

Speaker 1 (01:20:40):
It's not great, but many of of our buddies that are
going to be listening.
They know the exact coursewe're talking about, so I'm not
really going to say much aboutit.
Um, because there's one I don'tthink it's a horrible course,
or I have no I don't think it'sa horrible course I I have no
issue with the people or nothing.
I don't like the layout becausethere's several things that
it's like, hey, you're notallowed to aim here.
It's like, okay, don't build acourse that way yeah.

(01:21:03):
You're like, hey, you can't hitover the apartments because you
might hit it.

Speaker 2 (01:21:06):
Well, don't make it turn that way.
Why'd you put the hole behindthe apartment building?

Speaker 1 (01:21:09):
It's a 260-yard hole.
I 60 yard hole.
Like I want to go for the green.
Yeah, like it's not that hardof a shot if I can go straight
at it, but you have to make yougo down here and go back up and
yeah, so I don't like that.
And there's another hole that Idon't like that.
The t-box is a turf mat.
Oh, that's right, I forget megrass.

(01:21:32):
Yeah, like I'm on a golf course, is it because of where that is
.

Speaker 2 (01:21:35):
It's hard to it doesn't grow grass to grow there
.

Speaker 1 (01:21:37):
It doesn't grow well but there's got to be some hydro
seating or something they couldhave done to me, because
they're not the only place inthe country that has a problem
like that.

Speaker 2 (01:21:44):
Yeah, like you can make it grow yeah, you just
gotta make it really expensiveor something, I don't know which
, again, it's not a superexpensive course.

Speaker 1 (01:21:50):
I would still go play there again.
So I'm I'm not saying that, um,they're not super far, you know
down the road, none of thatkind of stuff, but it's just not
my favorite.
And again, for me I'm not.
You know, bougie, when it comesto a golf course, I don't need
you know PGA level quality, Ijust want it to be, you know,
decent shape, decent shape Like.

Speaker 2 (01:22:10):
I don't understand.

Speaker 1 (01:22:11):
And again, that doesn't mean it's gotta to be
expensive either.
I mean one of the courses we goto quite a bit, you know, after
two o'clock, even in the summer, it's like 20 bucks oh and I
love it and there's times thatthat course is actually in
really good shape.
Now there's times it's not.

Speaker 2 (01:22:24):
There's times, but it's the one that don't have
food.
If they had food, I don't knowthat I'd ever go anywhere else
if it was decent food I.

Speaker 1 (01:22:31):
I could probably see that if they made you a decent
burger or something on the turn,you'd never go anywhere else.

Speaker 2 (01:22:35):
That's what we did.
Over here close by my house Gota burger One day.
We was playing golf.
You've been like 100 timessince, and I went back several
times over the next month andgot it for dinner.

Speaker 1 (01:22:45):
So good news about that.
They're supposedly changingtheir name.

Speaker 2 (01:22:47):
I heard that they were changing it a little bit
and they're revamping it comingup.

Speaker 1 (01:22:55):
I mean so you'll, you'll like that.
Um, it's too.
Yeah, I don't have one close tomy house that I would, which
again here in our town we don'treally have golf we don't have
like.

Speaker 2 (01:22:59):
Of course, we have for you golf.

Speaker 1 (01:23:00):
That's all you need come on, I I agree, but like
when you, when you like, whenyou actually go play on a course
, there is one course that'spublic in transvainty, county
one.
Yeah, you're right, other thanthe par three, sorry, we do have
the par, the par three.

Speaker 2 (01:23:13):
No, but you mean full course yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:23:14):
But full size course, there's one.

Speaker 2 (01:23:16):
No, the par three is a nice course, but you can't
really get a driver out.

Speaker 1 (01:23:19):
It's not bad.

Speaker 2 (01:23:19):
I mean it's a little different.
It depends on who you are.

Speaker 1 (01:23:21):
Yeah, well, maybe, well, you could probably hit a
driver.

Speaker 2 (01:23:24):
Oh, I only say that because he was to start rating
courses on food I don't careabout.

Speaker 1 (01:23:33):
That's the that's the plan you're.
I'm gonna let you start talkingabout the food.
I'll talk about the course.
You talk about the food.

Speaker 2 (01:23:37):
I'm gonna make you play some horrible courses just
because I got good food you'retelling me to play more golf.
Sign me up, I don't mind youmight not like the course, but.
But.
But all seriousness aside, oursponsor we're never serious, so
all jokes aside that's reallywrong.
I know seriously, allseriousness aside, at this place
, but for you golf being our,our main sponsor, oh, absolutely

(01:23:59):
, um, I want to ask you causeyou know so those don't know we
own for you golf about a fewyears ago, starting back there,
yep, so we're, we might be alittle biased.
Now what's crazy is, sometimeswe're a little harder on the
place than others, because wesee every little thing.
Yeah, um so, as you're kind, ofmore of a golfer me.
I couldn't even tell you lasttime I hit a ball out there.

(01:24:20):
What is your number onefavorite thing about for you,
golf?
That, as a golfer, you're likeI love this um and and again.

Speaker 1 (01:24:31):
Obviously we are biased.
We own it, you know it's.
I could sit here, you know, tryto sell you on it, but that's
that's where I'm not.

Speaker 2 (01:24:37):
I'm not trying to go there, I'm trying to go with
Even as being an owner like whatis the one thing you're like?

Speaker 1 (01:24:40):
I love that we have that here for golfers or
whatever it is.
Well, it's not I'm, it'd be socool to own, and you know,
obviously you know one day wedid yeah, but hitting balls into

(01:25:02):
an open field it kind of getsboring, like it's just, and
again for a golfer practicinglike you don't really care
necessarily about that, but youknow, depending on how the
weather is, the sun is whatever,I can't see where, exactly
where it lands, like if I'mtrying to go and say I need to
figure out what my distances are.
If I'm a tournament golfer,don't have access to you know,

(01:25:22):
attract me and don't have accessto some of the really really
high end stuff, and I need toknow what my distances are, I'm
kind of guessing.
If I don't have somethingtelling me, top tracer, I don't
have to worry about it, toptracer, I go hit it.
It's going to tell me what mycarry distance is, what it
rolled to.

Speaker 2 (01:25:38):
Well, that's you're listing everything you know with
um kind of practicing, gettingyour distance all that well so,
but that's.
I love the, the modes of beingable to play games and play
courses on it, because I'm notso into golf that I'm out there
just practicing all the time,right, but that's kind of where
I'm going with.

Speaker 1 (01:25:54):
That, though, is like I get to do that, but at the
same time I can play golfcourses on it.
Yeah, I can do that's what Ienjoy when I do like I said
again, I really want to makesure this gets out there.
Huge shout out to brettwoodbury with mountain
brushworks yes, who has beenawesome, awesome, awesome

(01:26:14):
sponsor of some.
Basically twice a month, everytwo weeks, the Close to the Pin
contest Close to the Pin.

Speaker 2 (01:26:21):
He gave some good prizes, so $200 to a hole-in-one
$50 to the closest Close to thePin.

Speaker 1 (01:26:27):
So if you don't get a hole-in-one that month, you
basically have one winner.
If you have a hole-in-one, hestill gives the next closest
that $50.
And it's been really, reallycool.
We've had some greatinvolvement with that, had a lot
of fun, several hole-in-ones,yeah.

painting.
Commercial residential is theone.

Speaker 1 (01:26:44):
Please call Brett.
His crew is actually reallygood.
They've got a lot of businessand doing really really well.
And I know at one point thislast year he's like if I don't
hire another crew, I got to turnit down and he doesn't want to
do that.
So please, you know, give him acall if you need, whether it's
commercial, residential,whatever, he can take care of it
.
But again, I love the close tothe pin stuff, not even

(01:27:11):
necessarily always trying to getit super, super close, but just
working on getting the hit to agreen.
Or you know, some days we'vegoofed off and done long drive
stuff.
You know we may say, all right,we'll grab your nine iron,
let's see you and hit itfarthest.
So you know, just stupid stufflike that, like it gets you out
of.
I've just got a out of drivingrange.
A lot of it's just practice,but when you can get on that
stuff and play all the games andall the fun stuff.

Speaker 2 (01:27:28):
Then it's got the games for the kids, or they just
had an angry bird noah's playedBirds like crazy.

Speaker 1 (01:27:33):
They had the fishing game he loved it, loved it,
loved it, and it's reallyactually a lot of fun.
