Speaker 1 (00:01):
All right, man, let's not talk about house keep him
when we're no, you're going, let's go.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
I always go live with the mics.
Speaker 3 (00:07):
Damn it.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
What was that? Oh?
Speaker 3 (00:09):
Just my uh supplements.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Yeah, I take steroids before the potty.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
That's good, all right, dud.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
I mean, oh, I have three stories from Charleston. Good.
Speaker 3 (00:19):
I have one from Chicago.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
Okay, it can be pick your own adventure, and I
tell what. You can pick the one, and it can be.
If it's a good one, then I can go to
the other ones. Or they just never get told and
they float off.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
No, I think we're going to talk about all three
because they are hugely important. I want to start with
the funniest first, and I already know which one I want.
You don't even have to give me the three options
you teased me at the end of the last pod.
Maybe we were we weren't even on the pod, just
sitting in here. You're like, man, I got a really
funny one about Bjay, So that's what I want to hear.
I want to hear the BJ story, and BJ is
(00:52):
a friend.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
It's not what you're thinking, guys.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Yeah, it does also sound like the other things.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
Yeah, how do we well, once we start the pod,
I'm even more frustrated with my vacation after learning something.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
Since Monday.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
I'll tell you guys right now, the best part of
a vacation is before it, the planning and the anticipation,
and when you return home and you're at your sucky
ass job and you just keep replaying the vacation in
your head. Those are almost the two best parts.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
It almost seems as though when you're experiencing it firsthand
in person.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
In the moment, just normal, Oh I'm not working, that's cool.
But other than that, it's not that great. But those are,
in my opinion, post and pre are better than present.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
You don't realize how much fun it was or the
stories that were funny until you've already left, Like you
laugh a little bit, but the more you think about it,
the funnier it gets. And then you text the people
like memory.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
When this happened? I remember when this happened? Makes it
so much better.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
Your amazing race story at the airport horrible to experience
and live through. Dude, you're talking about a generational story
that will be told forever, forever while you're.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
And the worst part is some of that works for TSA.
They put on the Facebook page just so you know
you don't need.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
The birth certificates.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
You could have just driven to the airport and you
would have been fine, because he's right, they didn't ask
for the birth certificates. Half the time we fly they
asked for the birth certificates. The other half they do not.
And I'm not talking at TSA. Maybe it's different airlines
because usually when we're at the ticket counter for Southwest,
they will ask for the the birth certificate of the kids.
(02:32):
So TSA doesn't, but Southwest does.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
That's weird and also bad co hosts slash memory No,
just horrible host assistant by not asking, well, did they
ask for the birth certificates? That would have been the
clutch line of that story, that the story needed and
I didn't deliver.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
No, they didn't ask for him. They never asked for
the birth certificates. But wait, that's on the way home.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Amy would ask that. Let me ask, Well, she's a
good co host.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
They I'm asking my wife because I wasn't there when
they checked in in Nashville. In Chicago, I was there.
They did not ask. I'm just seeing in Cincinnati Bengals
on the TV reminded me of my cat.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
My cat's a bingle. She went to the vet to
get her check ups. She had a shot yesterday. She's
been slow going, Baser said. She's stand offish, not eating
or drinking water. Prayers up for Piper. I also call
her fluffy. Wow.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
Wait, Piper's not very old and she's already having health problems. No,
just had to get her shots.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
But these thing tranquilizers go into a small, little baby
kitten and it's it's the recovery time right now. Basers
mean dramatic, I believe, but yeah, Prayers up for Piper.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
How has Piper handled the move?
Speaker 2 (03:45):
Kidding me, dude? She went from running into walls to
having a tree four upstairs, sectional couch that was on
sale at Costco, not rich rich, not low ki flex,
and then having a room to herself that we don't
even know what to do with. That's probably why we
should get a foster kid.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
Yeah. National Airport did not ask for the birth certificates.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
It has been confirmed. I hang up with myself.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
All that stressed for absolutely nothing. Let's intro the show man.
This could be one of the best ones in the history.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Go ahead and bock here we go Arnold's not here,
Let's keep the vibes going. I'm considered killing him off,
but you keep killing me. I thought of a way
how to kill him. What He just comes in here
with a gun and I fight him for it, and
then it accidentally goes off, so nobody's responsible, and so
then I don't have to serve any jail time, and
(04:39):
he just we go to his funeral. We bring audio
from his funeral. No, No, that's the perfect way to
kill him off. I have the sound effect to kill
him off, and then people think it's a real thing.
I have to answer reports.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
No, we don't.
Speaker 4 (04:58):
We don't.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
I don't want to kill him, all.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
Right, But sometimes I feel like we use it as
a crutch, just being stupid, and maybe it's not even funny,
like sometimes pet names and pet household jokes are not funny,
but we just keep doing them and it's the stupidest
thing ever, which is my biggest fear.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
No, I don't think we use Arnold as a crutch.
I think we use him very rarely. I mean, he
he was on X last night.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
This is oh you did it?
Speaker 3 (05:22):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (05:24):
From dan go Fit founder said, what's an underrated health habit.
You've added to your life, that's made it better. Arnold replied, meth.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
Oh, and that was Arnold on X. We've got to
start the show man.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
Is this splitsh splash CC Sabbathia.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
No, it ain't sabbat is that?
Speaker 2 (05:52):
No, he had the Yankees have food.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
That's Aaron Donald.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
It's I think it's that Buffalo Bill's guy that they
had on screen.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
Us Dion Dawkins.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
Yeah, damn dude. All right, do we guess star at
the show?
Speaker 3 (06:02):
Now let's go all right, We're gonna.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Do a lot. Oh the one, two, three sore losers?
Speaker 3 (06:12):
What up, everybody? I am lunchbox.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
I know the most about sports, so I'll give you
the sports facts, my sports opinions, because I'm pretty much
a sports genius, y'all.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
It says that I'm from the north of an alpha male.
I live on the north side of Nashville with Basers.
She's a Broadway girl. I took her there to the
country and we love it. Farmers, ranchers, a lot of countryside.
A lot of them own about one hundred acres. They
won't sell. We won't sell. The developers every day knocking
on our doors, except for mine. I only have three acres,
but we will not sell coach over to you. Man.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
Now I want to hear about BJ, man, I want,
I want to hear about your trip to Charleston, South Carolina.
Not I don't want to hear about me running through
the airport. And I didn't even need to run through
the airport because the birth certificates were unnecessary. From now on,
I know that you do not need to bring half
the time southwest.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
Ass I don't understand.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
The low country. Well, there's three stories, and I gave
them all a one name title, go ahead, the homeless Man.
Actually it's a one phrase title, so thank you. There's
the homeless man. There's the BJ story, and there's the flood.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Give me another flood. Give me the BJ story for
five hundred, alex.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
So BJ came midweek. We had a couple of days
without him, and then he just rolled up. He ended
up staying at our crib downtown first quarter, and it's
called that, I think, I don't know what do they
call him Burrows? They do call him Burrows, our burrow
in Charleston. And so he was sleeping on the couch
the whole week. Had no idea that was the thing.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
Did Billy show up.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
Billy turned it down and said he's going to his
dad's lake house. Video proved he did not go to
his dad's lake house. No idea where he went, but
he turned down Charleston. I guess you just buy flights
cancel him. You don't care about the money.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
Got it.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
I think he just had bigger, better deals And it
was probably for the best. It ended up being a
baser's best friends type thing instead of me trying to
mix my best friends with her best friends and the house.
There's no way we would have all fit. That's for
another day. But anyway, so BJ comes into town and
we're all gonna go out to a club, and we're
out and about dude, we're clubbing it, okay, and you
(08:22):
gotta be thinking Tuesday Wednesday night scrillicks and a lot slower.
But it is club music because it's at night. And
so my ass I do is zapper and I'm also
drinking the high noons the Claws. It was a good night.
And we'd also seen the city the entire.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
Day, been out.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
Because there's Sullivan Island, there's Chem's Creek, there's King Street,
there's the French quarter.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
No, there's New Orleans. No, they haven't Charleston.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
Some other quarter. It's not the French Quarter something like
that south of town. So there's so many different things. Dude,
we filled it, squeeze the orange as much you could.
BJ comes to town in my ass on the I'm
talking to everybody, okay, and I go hey. And we
also had our friend Katie. She was a local. She's
a connector, a towny. She knows everybody.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
Yeah, I never heard Katie before.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Great, super nice dude.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
She'll give the shirt off her back and some of
our listeners would probably love that.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
The men, the men in the trucks, the truck drivers.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
They would rip their shirt just so they could say, hey, Katie,
can I have your shirt?
Speaker 3 (09:24):
Just to see her?
Speaker 5 (09:24):
Do it?
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Sure? So it's a vibe, dude, it is BJ, it
is me?
Speaker 3 (09:28):
Is it hot? There's what's it like there?
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Nashville ad ten degrees? Who did not plan on that?
So you could never use the backyard patio, You could
never leave a door open.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
Yeah. So anyways, we go out, it's baser Ali Katie, BJ.
We're partying. I'm on the zappers, I'm talking to everybody.
I'm like Hey, I'm gonna find you guys. Dates. Katie single.
She's in her forties doing great, and guess what the
beauty of her is, dude, she has no care in
the world that she's single. I don't care. I'm not
getting married and I'm kids until something perfect happened. She goes, Yeah,
(10:01):
the guy the other day ghosted me. Hung out there
for three months he ghost me. I don't care perfect?
BJ single?
Speaker 1 (10:07):
Ready the whoa whoa, whoa whoa, that's breaking news BJ.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
Yeah, they're off and on.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
Got it.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
So, but BJ's interested in men. Katie's interested in men.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
Oh so they're fighting over the same pool. Didn't think
about that, Like they are going for the same crop.
Like they both see corn out there in the field.
They're they're fighting over that corn stock.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
So we go to Uptown, which is popular a block away.
We all walked there. Katie got us lost. She's from there,
and we walked the wrong direction for about thirty minutes.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
Alcohol does that to you, man. That's why she's so cool.
Did she get mad that she got lost? No, she's
just cool with it.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
Katie's awesome. I think she's gonna roll up again. She's
gonna pull up, dude, we're gonna hang out.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
She's gonna pull up to Nashville.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
Yeah, like it. We've hung out with her before and
she's like such a vibe and a connector. So there's
all these connectors.
Speaker 4 (10:53):
Me.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
I'm talking, Katie's talking at Bazer. Then Baser starts to
not feel so good. She goes back home. It's a
block walk. I said, guys, guys, guys, I'm gonna walk
Baser back and she said, no, I'm not feeling good.
It is one block track me on your phone. I said, okay,
So we go upstairs. It's me, BJ, Katie, and Ali. Yeah,
we're all upstairs. And I said, hey, I'm gonna find
(11:15):
you girls. Dudes. Do a guy, dude, girl, dude, got it.
So Katie, Katy, Hey, what do you think about this guy?
What do you think about this guy? It ended up
narrowing down to three just cowboy redneck I should actually,
even though we were in Charleston, which is a low
country I'm a Southern boy. We found these guys Texas
(11:35):
type boys. Think of that cowboy boots hats. Oh yeah, man,
we're from Texas?
Speaker 3 (11:39):
Are you?
Speaker 2 (11:43):
We are from Texas? Man?
Speaker 3 (11:46):
Gig them cowboys.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Great dudes. I invite them all over. We're all talking. Dude.
At one point I thought we knew the whole bar uptown,
great spot block from ours King Street, look it up.
The bartenders are awesome. Was a little hot upstairs, glad
you asked the temperature. But then BJ he's there, and
Bja said, I'm looking for guys. And so then I
get up talking to this guys in like I want
to say it, Uh, definitely the Sperry's Gottari's nice pants,
(12:10):
night shirt, and I go, BJ, yeah, hey, we're all talking.
I'm like, are you interested in dudes? I mean, so
I'm asking everybody everything. We're all just socializing.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
In every dude You're like, hey, gey or girl? You
want guy or girl? And and the guys are like, uh,
I prefer girls. Okay, well Katie's available.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
The suit guy it was kind of vague, but believe
he was married.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
Oh okay. And then there's the three cowboys. Okay, so
we're all talking.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
We're all talking, and that was it. I connected a
little bit. Don't know how well I did, but again
my main point was it was a Tuesday or Wednesday night,
pretty slow. Yeah, so it was Linn Pickens. It was
us and those dudes at the top of this bar. Okay, downstairs,
maybe some stragglers, but I met the people that we
were all hanging out with. So I bail. I go Katie,
(12:52):
I'm out at one. Katie goes, I'm out at one fifteen.
So she got an uber back to her place. Baser.
I was fifteen minutes behind her. Baser said, no, let
me go alone. I'm not feeling good. I really just
need to walk and get to there, all right, cool,
like one hundred degrees down there. So then I hit
the streets. Not even part of the story, but dude,
I got lost. We're a block away. I called an
uber and I go, I know this is embarrassing. You're
gonna probably take me a block, but I can't find
(13:13):
where I live. Not important to the story, but our
street was Felix. There was also a bar called Felix.
So every time, in my defense, every time I told
the phone, hey, I gotta go to Felix, it would
take me to the bar.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
Oh not cool. Lost.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
It was a block from my place. I've never been
more lost in my life. Zapies do that to you mans, Zappies.
Guy takes me home. Me and Beazer go to bed. Okay,
BJ and Ali remember one fifteen timeline is important. Al
BJ and Ali walk home. They filmed a TikTok video.
It blew up, it went viral. It was Ali doing
her new song boys Like Girls, and they got one
(13:49):
hundred million views. It's the most viral video in TikTok history.
And they filmed it on the way home. It all
goes with the tideline. You guys can look it up.
Ali Colleen Katie's back at her place on Sullivan Island.
I think, so BJ and Ali come home. I hear
him fifteen minutes after me. Okay, we all go to bed.
I'll go to bed. That's the end of the story.
(14:09):
Well that was awesome, man, until I wake up in
the morning. Oh and I go out in the living
room and Ali's on the couch. Ali was never on
the couch.
Speaker 3 (14:20):
BJ was supposed to be on the couch.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
Correct. Ali was always in her own bedroom.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
Got it.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
So then I'm back in there with Baser and I go, day,
it's really weird. Ali's on the couch. She goes, well,
why don't you check the room. And I go and
put my ear up against the door of the room,
and I hear BJ. Remember I told you we met
three cowboys and a guy in dress suit, family guy married.
(14:45):
Those are where people are hanging out with three straight cowboys,
guy in a family suit, doc or Sperry's family, man
in town married. Hear BJ's voice, and then I hear, yeah,
I'm gonna go ahead and call a cab. Not my voice,
what not? BJ talks. BJ is a little bit more
effeminate in how he talks.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
And Billy's not here, and.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
Billy's not here, and I hear, yeah, I'm gonna go
ahead and get a cab. Mazer. I hear BJ, and
I hear my voice. There's a different dude's voice in
the bedroom.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
So I slamr dormly, Oh my gosh, NOJ.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
Brought somebody home. And so he goes to the front door.
Alley's they'll sleep it.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
I hear this is the best representation of how I
can say. He goes, I'm trying to think voice wise,
there's my voice, BJ. Oh you sucker. BJ is a
little bit more effeminate, got it? And then I hear yes,
I'm gonna head home. The door sound, and then the
(15:55):
door closes, door opens, door close. I don't know who
BJ hooked up with, but it was either one of
the three cowboys but you still don't know, or the
married man.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
So you don't sit down on the couch and wait
for him to walk out when he you hear.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
I guess I'm gonna call a cab.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
You don't say sit down in the living room and oh,
how's it going, just so you can have that interaction
in that moment with whoever is coming out of that room.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
A little bit grossed out, ended up talking to BJ.
Me and him went for a thirty minute walk. It
was wild. We couldn't find a gas station that was
open the next day. And the answer is.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
It was to guy Insbury's in doctor shirt and choosing
doctors shirt.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
Married guy. Oh but they didn't do anything. He just
needed a place today.
Speaker 4 (16:57):
BDA heyn on, Hey, BJ, pull this straight, dude, No, no, no,
I'm telling you.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
We were fifteen minutes ahead of them. There was nobody
else at the club that they met.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
It was either one of the three cowboys or the
guy and Dockers DJ said to his recollection of what
I remember and what he remembers, it was the guy
in Sperry's and Dockers, but that they all believe.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
But nothing happened.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
Nothing happened. He just needed a place to stay. The
Ubers sometimes are a little slower at that time. But
the only place for him to stay was in bed
with BJ. So he ended up staying the night, found
a cab the next day, and that was it. BJ
said he never texted him again. BJ texted him guy
never text back. Wow, no response? That is awesome that cobezer.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
Here's another voice in here and it's not minor beajs. Yeah,
I mean it just makes perfect sense. They were gonna
do nothing, but Ali had to move to the couch
and the bedroom door was closed. Needed a place, glad
he could have it at our place on Felix Street.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
Hopefully he found his family.
Speaker 3 (18:20):
So, honey, how'd your business trip to Charleston go?
Speaker 2 (18:23):
Anything?
Speaker 3 (18:26):
Anything happened?
Speaker 2 (18:27):
No?
Speaker 1 (18:27):
I just needed a place to stay. I mean what,
excuse me? Like you needed a place to stay?
Speaker 2 (18:34):
Yeah? Like yeah, for whatever reason, the hotel bed was
like a double.
Speaker 3 (18:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
I was really lost and I ran into this guy.
I mean he showed me the way, so I got
with I got a BJ. You can did what No, No, no.
I met a guy named BJ and he was nice
enough to take me back to his place and put
me in bed and close the door. But nothing happened.
(19:02):
Oh that's good, honey. I'm glad you had a good time.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
We gotta take your breath.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
Wow, that's good, man, that's real good. I hope the
off and on guy doesn't listen to this.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
I hope the cowboys though.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
I don't mind if the cowboys do. I hope the
married man doesn't. We'll take a break, ah, man, who
will be right back?
Speaker 2 (19:30):
We gotta go over to you, man.
Speaker 3 (19:31):
Yeah. So we're staying downtown Chicago.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
Ray and the kids see that big old Ferris will
at a place called Navy Pyre Navy p.
Speaker 3 (19:47):
Here, Like, dada, dada, what is that? Can we go?
Can we go see that?
Speaker 1 (19:53):
I'm like, yeah, man, we can walk over there, and
we go to this little park right here. I think
we're in Lincoln Park, right by Lincoln Park. Play on
this cool playground that they have. It's huge, got a
nice big bridge, some huge slides. Run around there for
a little bit, and then we're gonna walk to Navy Peer.
Speaker 4 (20:12):
Well.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
I gotta be honest with you, it's kind of a
long walk along Lake Michigan to get Navy Peer from
this park. Maybe a little over No, we're we're on
the walkway right Jim Whacker Drive.
Speaker 3 (20:23):
Maybe a little over a mile.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
Man, that's a long way for these little kids to
walk after we've been hoofing it around Chicago all day
playing on playgrounds.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
They're hungry, they're tired.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
The magnificent mile.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
We get all the way down to Navy Peer and
we eat at Harry Carey's restaurant right there on Navy Peer.
Speaker 3 (20:40):
Look at all the memorabilia.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
They're so excited to see pictures of athletes and jerseys
and baseball bats and uh whatever else they had in
their gloves.
Speaker 3 (20:50):
Then they want to go on the ferris wheel.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
He's down playing the memorabilia. You go to every room,
it's the most unbelievable Chicago Bulls, Cubs, White Sox stuff, you've.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
Seen, Blackhawks, it's I know, it is awesome. It's incredible
food whatever, it's just food. It's a bar food. It's
Harry Carry's and they have a big, you know, cow
at the front, and for some reason, my kids like
sticking their face in the butt of the cow, and
my wife's like, I don't get why the cow's there,
and I'm like, because he always said holy cow. Uh oh,
(21:19):
so that's why the cow's there. So then we go
get on the ferris wheel and we love it. Did
we get stuck with these two three random people? Dude,
his chick and then the Tagalon friend. They didn't really
speak to us. They didn't speak much English, so we
didn't really communicate with them. And it was awesome because
you go on that big ferris wheel and I didn't
realize it goes pretty fast. And we got up there
(21:43):
and we already hit back down. I'm like, dang, we
already going back down, and we kept going. I'm like, oh, okay,
you do like four rotations. So after three rotations of
us looking at the downtown big skyscrapers, I looked at
the other three people and my wife looked at them
and goes, do you guys want to sit over here?
They're like, yes, yes, So we switched and we looked
out over Lake, Michigan and they looked.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
Over the buildings.
Speaker 4 (22:05):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
Wife swap and by this time it's already ten o'clock
and they're gonna have or no, not nine to thirty
and they're having fireworks at ten thirty. But I was like,
we can't stay, it's getting too late. And we look
up and it is one point five miles to our hotel.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
I'm like, oh my god, we can't walk. No way,
there's no way at nine thirty at night, downtown Chicago,
we are gonna walk with a two year old, a
four year old, and a five year old. And I'm like,
we'll just call, We'll just get a cab.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
Where you guys had to do? Trump Tower?
Speaker 3 (22:40):
Uh No?
Speaker 1 (22:41):
But we did stay like diagonal from Trump Tower. I
saw Trump Tower. We stayed right next to the fire
station downtown. On Wacker Street, I stayed very close to their. Dude,
Wacker Street. Do not get on Wacker Street. Dude, you
get on Wacker Street, you are off like you don't
know where you're going. You get stuck underground. You go
(23:02):
up a level, you go down a level, you are
all over Whacker.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
Excuse me? Are we on Whacker Street? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (23:07):
Man, you want me to show you.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
And once you start on Whacker you can't get off Whacker.
I mean it was just like whack this way, whack
that way. I mean, it is homeless people under the ground.
I mean, it was so weird. Could never figure out
Whacker Street. Don't get on it. So I'm like, we're
just getting a cab and my wife's like, no, we can't.
We don't have car seats. I'm like, it's going a
(23:31):
mile and a half. Goes no, we can't do it.
It's too dangerous.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
I'd getting now the dilemma.
Speaker 3 (23:37):
So I'm like, well, what do we do. Oh, there's
a little petty cab right there.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
Are you thinking adoption?
Speaker 1 (23:43):
And I say okay, And I look at the petty cabin.
It says twenty to thirty dollars per person. I said,
I can't pay that because we have five people. He goes, oh, no, no,
I don't charge for kids. Perfect like, great, going a.
Speaker 3 (23:55):
Mile and a half, honey, bogo.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
So we go a mile and a half, We get
pull up at the hotel, kids get off, wife gets off.
They go in the hotel. The guy gets off and
he pulls out his phone, pulls out the calculator.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
Yep, it's coming through.
Speaker 3 (24:14):
He goes, all right, that'll be ninety dollars.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
That's not the twenty of part what he.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
Goes, yeah, yay, Yeah, like a mile and a half
two people. That's ninety And I said, what happened to
twenty to thirty dollars a person? He goes, it's twenty
to thirty dollars a person per mile.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
You tell him to try that in a small town.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
I was like, what it cost me ninety dollars to
go a mile and a half. And all I could
think is the whole time we're walking along Lake Michigan,
people are going by riding in these little pettycats. They
probably been drinking, and you're thinking, Oh, we'll just go
for a fun little ride. Little do you know it's
gonna cost you four hundred dollars because it's twenty to
(25:01):
thirty dollars per person. So if you have five adults
in there to go two miles.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
Ooh, it's dirty underbelly.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
I and you're kind of screwed. There's nothing you can do.
You can't argue with it. It's not like it's a
better business bureau. It's not like there's a regulation. If
I just say, well, actually, no, I think it should
be about thirty forty dollars, the dude has me you
can run. I thought about Ray, I'm a little slow
with the kids.
Speaker 3 (25:25):
That was the problem.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
Wife's I'm like ninety dollars, He goes, we can do
credit if you want. Well, no, shit, you think I
got ninety dollars in cash in my pocket for you? There, Budze,
I'm running, honey, let's go.
Speaker 3 (25:41):
Hit the cad, hit the button, hit the button, hit
the buttons.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
Ninety freaking dollars. We were having the time of our lives,
taking pictures, sticking our head out the side of the
petty cab.
Speaker 3 (25:54):
He was all lit up with lights. The kids were
loving like whoa, whoa. It all came to a screeching
hole when he told me his ninety dollars.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
Kids, no breakfast. We're hemorrhaging money ever since. We got
to Chicago next day.
Speaker 3 (26:06):
Dadda, can we ride one of those games?
Speaker 2 (26:08):
No?
Speaker 3 (26:08):
No, dadda, Hey can we ride that?
Speaker 4 (26:12):
No?
Speaker 2 (26:12):
In fact, I'm gonna show you a finger. You need
to show them. Hey don't need to ride?
Speaker 1 (26:17):
Hey, dda, how come we are walking everywhere? Why don't
we ride one of those things?
Speaker 2 (26:20):
We wrote?
Speaker 1 (26:20):
No, son, too expensive, so dada, but data they went fast? Yeah,
they went fast. And you know when went faster is
my money. That's when went faster is my money?
Speaker 2 (26:32):
Dude, you know what goes fast? I vacation.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
The money good god, Oh, I don't know who I'm
calling ninety freaking dollars for a mile and a half.
So if you go to Chicago, never get on one
of those stupid ass petticabs. They are going to poke
you in the eyes, punch you in the stomach, kick
you in the nuts, and take your money.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
Also, we're dumbasses. The reason Ali told me this Ali Colleen. Guys,
look her up. The TikTok is viral actually is filmed
en route to our place on Felix. It'll contribute to
the story Ali clean TikTok no idea if that's her
name on there. But the thing with petticabs, the reason
they're popular in Austin is it's flat ground. Ali told
(27:14):
me when she's tried to get him sometimes at after
shows on Broadway, they won't take her because a lot
in Nashville is hilly. They'll only take her certain directions.
They say, oh no, no, don't you don't think we're
going up that Broadway hill. No, oh no, no, no,
we're not gonna go up Second Avenue hill. So they
don't even go up those and if they do a
lot of them are motorized.
Speaker 3 (27:34):
That yeah, it is treat cheating my guys. It wasn't motorized.
I get it.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
And he did drive us on Whacker a little bit.
He came up a big you know, it was a
big hill. But to charge me ninety dollars to go
a mile and a half, Oh my god.
Speaker 3 (27:48):
But he had me.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
He had me dead to rights because we were a
mile and a half from the hotel and there was
no way we were walking.
Speaker 3 (27:56):
My wife wasn't wanting to take a cab. So what
the hell are you gonna do?
Speaker 2 (27:59):
And even more confusing with whack or you're not just
dumb that it's underground street as well.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
Yes, underground and above ground and it's the same damn road.
And the GPS kept saying take a leap. I'm like,
it's a brick wall man. Because I was underground, I
didn't know how to get out of underground.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
Confusing.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
Oh my god, that was my last story from Chicago.
We'll take a break and we're gonna go to the
homeless man right after this.
Speaker 3 (28:32):
Hit me with it.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
Yeah, this is just all about business and being smart.
It's actually a pretty quick one. I go there, and
I mean, let's just say the French quarter. I, for
the love of God, Cappy please help me. I think
it's called the French Did.
Speaker 3 (28:45):
You see Cappy?
Speaker 2 (28:47):
No, but he's there and need hit me up a
day after the fact. Oh, dude. Sometimes it would get
into DMS and stuff and behind sorry, but I go
there there, I'm on the street. Okay. There'd be times
I'm just on the street and so I'm on the
street and I hear what's the one they sing that?
Speaker 3 (29:04):
Uh zee ya.
Speaker 2 (29:10):
Beautiful? And I think I deleted the dance.
Speaker 3 (29:13):
Dude was singing like a champ.
Speaker 1 (29:14):
Dude, did I delete the videos? You know we have
a podcast, right, my phone is always full. Yeah, okay,
I see yah, go ahead as the yah.
Speaker 3 (29:33):
We got that line.
Speaker 1 (29:34):
We got that line, man, I'm Philip blustering. And then
if you don't have it, you don't have Are you
gonna try to retrieve it?
Speaker 2 (29:39):
No, I deleted it. I even tried to retrieve it.
It's double deleted as these.
Speaker 3 (29:49):
So the guys singing this.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
Yeah, and so I've had a couple okay, so the
girls would take a nap and I just be on
the street. Dude, I'm just seeing. I mean, there was
a lot of college kids in the area. There's people
at Airbnb's. It was more of an Airbnb quarter, got it.
The people that had houses were rich, just loaded, rolling
up in beamurs getting into their houses, and so I Azziah,
I'm like, that's beautiful. I start recording it for the show. Dude,
(30:11):
I'm always thinking audio for the show. And then I
deleted it. But I recorded it okay, and he sounded beautiful,
and he needed money, So what is my drunk ass?
Do I give him twenty dollars? Oh that's all I had.
I didn't have anything else to give him. I give
him twenty dollars. You know what.
Speaker 1 (30:25):
I run into that problem all the time, because like
when we leave the National c games, there's a guy
and or it's two kids banging on buckets.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
Which is good and you want to help them.
Speaker 1 (30:36):
And I gave my kids three dollars one time, a
dollar each because they saw people. And now every time
we leave the game, Data act we give him some money.
I'm like, oh, I got to ten, right, But Data,
he's doing a good job, isn't he. I'm like, mother,
So kids don't understand that you don't have to give
him money every freaking time, but we do, but they do,
they want it.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
And so then I'm out the next day and I
hear Aziah Blue.
Speaker 3 (31:00):
Oh God, you give him another twenty. Not me.
Speaker 2 (31:02):
I'm smart, even though I had a couple of drinks,
I'm still money conscious. But I've seen him going out
to other people. Aziehs is blue. He's on a bike, singing,
goes and hits up. Another college kid gives him whatever
a one to five, and then there's airbnbers, so everybody's
on vacation generous with their money. Azee Yah's blue the street.
I mean there's it's an L, so it's boom, he's
(31:24):
hitting them. He's coming up r L on Felix. You
can look it up online as a blue. And so
I'm pissed, Dude, I gave the guy twenty. It's kind
of I mean, I've already been hemorrhagy money now for
about three days, and then I get rid of the
twenty that I had. So that was that. Every damn
day I see the guy dazy yas a blue. Second
(31:45):
to last day that I'm there, we had the most
rundown gas station dude, I don't even know how the
thing hasn't been closed by the Better Business Bureau. Me
and BJ had gone into it at times. This time
I'm solo and I go into it. I gotta get drinks.
Everybody's dying the thirst in the morning. We got nothing,
you know, from the drink the night before.
Speaker 3 (32:01):
And you see the business man the family man.
Speaker 2 (32:05):
No, but that would have been a hell of a twist.
Speaker 3 (32:07):
Oh my god, I thought that's where we're going.
Speaker 2 (32:09):
This is decently good. And I'm in this store. It
is tight. There's two rows and I mean you ain't moving, okay.
Speaker 3 (32:17):
Yeah, shoulders, shoulders, shoulder to shoulder.
Speaker 2 (32:20):
And I'm getting the drinks loading them up. Service is terrible.
There's one worker shocking, and I see a guy guy
coming out of the back. Excuse me, Oh yeah, yeah,
excuse me loading up the drinks. I'm grabbing a couple.
He's loading them back. Thanks man, thank oh perfect, Yes,
that's what I was looking for. One of those ice drinks.
Thank you very much. Absolutely man, grab another one, dude,
(32:43):
you have any PEPSI absolutely man, Thank you, so dude.
My hands are full. I'm walking, get walking to the front,
fuck you to the front. But I'm already obviously hungover.
This ship that only happens to you when you're hungover.
So I'm walking to the front of the store to pay,
I hear a see as blue. No. I look back.
Speaker 1 (33:11):
It's the same guy that was panhandling also stock shelves
at the gas station, so he's not even homeway.
Speaker 2 (33:18):
And I looked at him and I was like, you
son of a.
Speaker 1 (33:27):
He got me for the twenty and he moonlights stocking shelves,
So I don't know if they just help out the
homeless and allow him to stock shelves and pay him
on the side. That means he goes out there, sings
that song because he knows he's really good at that song,
gets a lot of money, and then goes to work
at the gas station to supplement his own income.
Speaker 2 (33:48):
We had a smile with each other because he knew
that I gave him that shiny twenty and I said,
you son of a bitch, A businessman to another businessman
to shave my friend well, not see eyes. I was
on to him. Day Five's eyes Blue Only in Charleston, folks.
Speaker 3 (34:17):
That was a great story.
Speaker 2 (34:19):
It wasn't a twist.
Speaker 1 (34:20):
We needed Ray needed the spurs guy with I thought
he was gonna be in there begging for money, but hey,
can you buy me a PEPSI?
Speaker 3 (34:28):
No, he's stuck in the shelves at the gas station.
Speaker 2 (34:30):
The better twist would have been Sperry's and doctors dude
with his wife.
Speaker 3 (34:35):
Oh my god, Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (34:37):
Hey man, I know you from somewhere.
Speaker 3 (34:41):
Hey you do you know my friend BJ? I think?
How do I know you have that? You have a
face that I recognized, Like.
Speaker 2 (34:53):
I were you went uptown the other night? Oh you were?
Speaker 3 (34:59):
Oh no you.
Speaker 1 (35:02):
Huh?
Speaker 3 (35:04):
Hey you may.
Speaker 2 (35:05):
Have maybe you saw him in an Uber. He got
an Uber randomly the other night with another guy.
Speaker 3 (35:13):
Complete accident.
Speaker 1 (35:14):
He was so drunk he didn't really He did Uber share,
you know, carpool.
Speaker 2 (35:18):
He did more than Uber share, wifey.
Speaker 3 (35:22):
He also did the bench share. We taking another break.
Speaker 2 (35:30):
Oh yeah, we'll take.
Speaker 3 (35:30):
A break because you got one more story right away.
What's your last story?
Speaker 2 (35:34):
The flood?
Speaker 3 (35:35):
We'll be right back. Hey, that's not good. Hey, Houston,
I hope you guys are okay. I know Aaron Merrick
is okay.
Speaker 1 (35:43):
He hit me on Facebook and said he's coming to
Nashville for his wedding anniversary. And he said do you
want to meet for a beer. I said, no, man,
you may kill me with how much Texas hate I
give you.
Speaker 3 (35:52):
But we'll be right back.
Speaker 1 (35:53):
He survived the Texas storms, and I hope by other
people did too. Right back the flood. How do you
guys always flood? You flooded the last time when Billy
was here.
Speaker 2 (36:07):
That's right, dude, That's why I need a co host. Man.
Hell of a connection. We get there and we read
the guest book a couple drinks one night. It was
a lot of downtimes that we're playing Domino's Chicken Leg,
watching Wimbledon Round one. Now we're into the semis.
Speaker 3 (36:21):
Hey, I mean, joker gotta walk over.
Speaker 1 (36:24):
Well, I don't know what happened to the other guy
hurt as hip man, But anyways, we're reading the guestbook
and it says stuff, Oh, love the Airbnb.
Speaker 2 (36:32):
It was so funnier. We had a great time. Love
the Airbnb. A lot of rain. Weren't able to use
first Avenue. Huh, love the Airbnb.
Speaker 1 (36:41):
Man careful when it rains another comment, Love the Airbnb.
Speaker 2 (36:45):
It was nuts, except for you can't go on first
Avenue if it rains. Oh, it's weird. Love the Airbnb.
It was beautiful, gorgeous, gorgeous, really nice back patio, perfect
for the fall weather. But that storm that came in
really caught us by surprise. We were stuck in side.
That's funny, that's so so weird. And then we got
all drunk and we right in there. We're like, we're
(37:06):
fucking celebrities, dude. We wrote a bunch of drunks. It
was like the most beautiful guest book and then we
just demolished it with our We like all signed it,
though Ali's signature might be worth something sometime, and so
then we're uh f wour a weight. We're on King
Street and we're drinking it uptown. Uptown ended up being
(37:27):
one of the favorites. That was one of your spots
drink deals, and they're you're.
Speaker 3 (37:31):
Like, McKitty, you go to the same bar over and
over again.
Speaker 2 (37:33):
They're a decent amount of time because it was a
block from the place, and they would play Ali's song
that she's releasing in two weeks over the speakers, and
so we would see if people were vie vibe into it.
And so we leave uptown. We get into the weed store,
but we didn't buy weed.
Speaker 1 (37:48):
A weed legal there or one of the other ones.
Speaker 2 (37:52):
Non THHC got it. But they also have Kate Agent
Asian candies, so you don't even have to get the THHC.
Speaker 3 (37:58):
Got it.
Speaker 2 (37:59):
Yeah, there's non they're just normal candies from Asia. But
you can only get him at the weed store.
Speaker 3 (38:03):
I've never been Charleston. Sounds like a heck of a place. Man, crazy.
Speaker 2 (38:06):
So we're in the weed store, all right. Girls are
running in from the water. Dude, there's girls in bikini tops, so,
oh my gosh, it's raining. We get in there there
Ali gets some Asian candies sucking them down. I'm like,
are you guys getting high? And they said, no, there's
no whatever it's called in it. I don't know. That's
what confused me.
Speaker 3 (38:23):
Please explain it to me.
Speaker 2 (38:24):
So we're trapped in the store an hour. Dude, the
biggest derentio comes through people floating by on the water
in front of the King Street no less, and so
we finally stops and then we're able to leave. We're
stuck in there in the store forever. And I go
up to the one dude we'd spent money with and
I go, hey, man, I've got to go I've had
to go for an hour. Can you please use your restroom?
And he looks at me dead in the eye and
he goes, no, man, we don't have one here. So
(38:46):
you're an employee and for a nine hours you guys
are on one restroom.
Speaker 1 (38:49):
Okay, so you shut down the store when you got
to goee, you lock the doors and go next door.
Speaker 2 (38:53):
I thought we were on a pretty common ground where
we're all cool. That's all good man, I'll just piss myself.
I'm waiting. So it finally clears up. We go home.
We're going home. We get an Uber because it's a
decent amount of little jog, So we get into Uber
and we're all just in the bag, just kind of
We hadn't been drinking in hours because the weed shop
had no alcohol, so we're just kind of like sobering up.
And then we get to second avenue and they dry
(39:15):
and none of us even saw it.
Speaker 1 (39:16):
And the driver goes, oh no, oh oh.
Speaker 2 (39:22):
Shit, oh you me, and we all look up. Dude
thought he got in a car accident. The entire first
avenue flooded. Our apartment house was underwater, and we go
I get now why. The guest book said it sucks
when it rains, and so the driver goes, I can't
(39:44):
go any farther. I cannot go any farther, So dude
drops us two blocks up.
Speaker 3 (39:50):
So now you need a canoe to get to the plane.
Speaker 2 (39:52):
We're able to go on the sidewalk far enough and
then get into our house. And at our front door
is a barricade because the bloods get up so high
on the door that you need this little thing that
you stick in front where it's there's like an Allen
wrench and a Jimmy wrench, and you stick it in
there and you suck it off and you keep turning
it and jacking it. So we had this thing on
our door so our house wouldn't flood. And so we're
(40:14):
all laughing, like man reading that guest book. They should
have said, hey, guys, if you're reading this, the entire
fucking first floor floods, not first avenue.
Speaker 1 (40:23):
I think you guys said it wrong, dude, So then
the whole time, sorry, go ahead, So then the whole
I'm like, we get inside safely.
Speaker 2 (40:30):
I believe the girls took their shoes off. I was
fine with mine on my.
Speaker 1 (40:33):
Own care gonna say shirts, damn No, yeah, the girls
getting naked.
Speaker 2 (40:36):
IM.
Speaker 3 (40:36):
I was like, all right, cool, all right.
Speaker 2 (40:38):
So dude, I sit there, I grab a beer. I'm
sitting on the barricade, just watching people. I mean it's like,
guy orders pizza, pizza, Gar won't go any farther. Guy
in the pizza. He's wading through water to get his pizza.
Guy and girl come home from work. The chick is
like in her nice dress thing.
Speaker 1 (40:54):
She's like, fuck it, I don't know what else to do,
So she's walking across the in the water.
Speaker 2 (40:58):
The dude decides to scale his whole first floor of
his house. Could have fallen and broken his back to
get into the house. I'm like, buddy, there was probably
a better route, dude, So nobody's able to go in.
The cars are stopping. People are like what the I mean,
what the how did this flood? What the dude? Apparently,
anytime it rains where we were Charleston, half of it
is under seawater level, so it floods. So if if
(41:21):
there's a rainstorm, you're a foot underwater.
Speaker 3 (41:25):
Why don't they fix that?
Speaker 2 (41:26):
I mean, dude, so your boy, I mean, I am
just sitting drinking, wimbled and playing and it's just one
after another. Pizza guy, a couple coming home from work.
You got dude, people abandoning their car. There was three
cars in the middle of the road. I took pictures.
We can put them all up. It was nuts. I've
never actually been part of a flood, hurricane Katrina style,
(41:47):
and it happened in a flash one one hour. It
was flooded out.
Speaker 3 (41:51):
That's unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (41:52):
But then it really did.
Speaker 1 (41:53):
You go to the guests and be like, hey, people
weren't lying about that first avenue.
Speaker 2 (41:57):
Yeah, guys, when you said first avenue, you can also
say first avenue slash flooded.
Speaker 6 (42:04):
There not one person in the guest book used the terminology.
Can hurricane flood like paunch, a train breach, and then
like the mosquitoes.
Speaker 3 (42:18):
How long does it take to get ford to go down?
Speaker 2 (42:20):
Oh, we're flooded for about three four hours. Girls were
just inside. You can't go out, just flooded. The girls
are napping. I'm like, ladies, it's getting a little higher one.
Speaker 1 (42:31):
Guys, get to a higher level, get upstairs, get on
the roof.
Speaker 2 (42:34):
It would never go to where it actually came in
our house, but it was definitely up the steps that
took video of it all.
Speaker 3 (42:41):
That's wild.
Speaker 2 (42:41):
Yeah yeah, I mean, I mean it was no. No,
I have those videos. I can post them all.
Speaker 3 (42:46):
So you deleted, You didn't delete.
Speaker 2 (42:47):
The flood, you didn't delete, deleted. There's an eyes of
blue color.
Speaker 3 (42:54):
One that sounds like a good vacation.
Speaker 6 (42:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (42:58):
Yeah, that's it, dude, that's it.
Speaker 6 (42:59):
Man.
Speaker 2 (42:59):
Choose your own adventure. The homeless, the Bjay or the flood.
You got them all.
Speaker 3 (43:06):
Yeah, And I did something right. The other day. I
logged on.
Speaker 1 (43:12):
Ray said the Nigani All Stars are playing in the
state championship. He put the link on the Facebook page,
and I'm like, you know what, Boomer, I'm gonna show
you some support.
Speaker 3 (43:21):
I'm sitting here on the couch.
Speaker 1 (43:23):
Let me go ahead and tune into the Nigani All
Stars versus whoever the hell they were playing. And I
turn it on and they both have white jerseys on
y and the camera only shows their back, so you
have no idea what team is what.
Speaker 2 (43:38):
And if the ball gets hit to the outfield, no
clue if he gets caught or not.
Speaker 1 (43:42):
And what I learned is I just got to sit
there and wait and hope someone says something about who
they are. Eventually, one of the coaches walked up to
the fence and he had Northern All Stars on his
shirt and I was like, Okay, that is not the
team I want to win.
Speaker 3 (43:58):
And I watched Nigani. They were tied two to two
and then fielding.
Speaker 1 (44:04):
Errors one by the third basement and one by the
second basement. I believe they give up two runs. It's
four to two, and I'm like, oh no, that is
not good for Nigani.
Speaker 3 (44:14):
Not good.
Speaker 1 (44:15):
But I will say that when they came to hit,
they had a great They got great advice from the
guy sitting right next to the damn camera. Right next
to the damn camera. The guy would say the same
thing every freaking pitch.
Speaker 2 (44:31):
And that guy was your dad.
Speaker 3 (44:34):
No freaking way.
Speaker 1 (44:37):
I was like this, dude, Hey, this is what he says.
Don't give an inch, keep your head down, step right
towards the pitcher, get a line drive base hit. Every pitch.
He would say it to every hitter, every pitch. All right, now, Bill,
(44:58):
keep your head down, don't give an inch. Up there,
step right towards that picture, line drive base hit. I
mean he must have said it five hundred times. When
I was watching hey man muscle every he I loved
it though, we have my whole family.
Speaker 2 (45:16):
There was twenty one.
Speaker 1 (45:16):
And then I hear muff yelling at one point, come on, now,
get him out right here.
Speaker 3 (45:22):
We get out right here. We're getting out in right here.
Speaker 1 (45:26):
Plays at one play or first or second, verst or second,
because it was first and third. Then the runner steal second.
She's like, all right, gotta get him at first, gotta
him at first. We get him out right here in
the gody. We get him right here in the godi.
I'm like, all right, right, And it was four to a.
Boomer came up to bat at one point struck out.
He kind of hit the bat end of the dirt
(45:48):
out of frustration. Totally understand. And then I had to
leave and next thing I know, it was like ten
to three.
Speaker 2 (45:55):
Yeah, wheels fell off. Yeah. It was actually more of
an important game than I even realized myself. I mean,
it was the state championship. They got freaking rings for
being finalists.
Speaker 3 (46:04):
Yeah, I saw the ring.
Speaker 1 (46:06):
But it was funny to log in not be able
to tell what team was what, and the wind was howling,
I mean, the dust was just blowing up there. Sometimes
the umpire would step out because he wanted he wanted
the fielder to be able to see because second base
was covered in dust. But I mean, your dad behind
the camera, all right, keep your head down, step straight
(46:29):
towards that picture. Don't give an inch line drive base hit.
Speaker 2 (46:33):
Did the game before they were going nuts. The audio
was hilarious because my dad was giving play by play.
The play by play nobody asked for. My dad was
giving it, but it actually was adding color because you
couldn't see more than the infield, right, So he was
actually telling a lot. But I was I gonna say, oh,
there was a rain to they have thirty minutes then
they came back. Would gave me time to run errands.
But sadly they came up short. But thank you for
(46:54):
the support. They had over hundreds of hundred views in
the town. I believe there's two hundred people in it.
So that the fact that there were that many people watching,
that is the sore losers nation. Thank you. Yeah, we
take a knee, Thank you guys. Arnold get off your knee. Sorry,
(47:15):
all right?
Speaker 3 (47:15):
Is that it?
Speaker 2 (47:16):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (47:16):
You're ready to go?
Speaker 2 (47:17):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (47:18):
I mean I was gonna talk about Kawhi, but he
ain't playing anymore. I don't understand that guy. Do you
think other people hate him? Do you think other players
in the NBA hate Kawhi Leonard?
Speaker 2 (47:29):
Well, you got your championship out of him.
Speaker 1 (47:32):
I got a championship out of him. Toronto got a
championship out of him. I thought he could have been
one of the greater players of all time. And I
don't know what is wrong with that dude.
Speaker 2 (47:43):
You're talking about the comments when he says, what.
Speaker 4 (47:46):
Did he say?
Speaker 1 (47:50):
Yeah, I got I'm here, I'm having a good time.
I just don't understand him. Like he goes to training camp,
he's all excited, he's working out, saying, and then he
just stops quits. He never plays a lot of games.
I don't know what he is a mental head case.
As bad as it ended with the Spurs, I am
(48:10):
so glad we didn't keep that dude because he is
all over the map. I don't understand. I don't understand
how he just quit Team USA like that.
Speaker 2 (48:18):
It's our country, ray No.
Speaker 1 (48:20):
I just don't get it, Like do other players be like, man, dude,
you've been practice with us for like a week, Like
what the hell you doing?
Speaker 3 (48:25):
Just quitting?
Speaker 1 (48:26):
Like f you, who's gonna take his place? Bronni probably,
but he earned that spot, man. His father said he
earned that spot.
Speaker 2 (48:34):
Father says he doesn't can care quote unquote Bronnie's Bronnie's
dad said, Bronnie doesn't know. Bronnie's dad doesn't give up.
Quote other people think.
Speaker 1 (48:44):
No, and I mean he you know how hard it
is for him one year ago to come back from
heart surgery.
Speaker 3 (48:50):
And to be in the NBA.
Speaker 1 (48:52):
That tells you he's good man, that that takes a
lot of hard work. Well no, no, no, he didn't
have to. He didn't have to do anything. He got
your dad got him drafted. He the only reason he
was drafted because of you, Lebron. The only reason he's
in the NBA, Lebron, is because he's your son. So
don't act like, oh yeah, yes, he worked hard to
be a pretty good basketball player. But the only reason
(49:13):
he's in the NBA is because of you.
Speaker 2 (49:15):
You just stated what everybody knows. The cool things about
Lebron are when they post where Lebron was at John
Cena's WCW video and him on his flip phone in
high school. And now John Cena retired and Lebron's still
playing basketball.
Speaker 3 (49:27):
That's cool.
Speaker 2 (49:28):
That was a cool picture.
Speaker 3 (49:29):
Didn't see that one?
Speaker 2 (49:30):
That stuff makes me like John Lebron.
Speaker 1 (49:33):
I don't hate Lebron, but the guy you like even
better than Kawhi. He's on the TV ladies and gentlemen
other than Chris Paul.
Speaker 3 (49:42):
Let me tell you your new.
Speaker 1 (49:44):
Victory capital, san Antonio, spur Bud. Hey, you want to
hear from Chris Paul? Did you want to hear from
Chris Ball? This is what he posts on the Spurts Instagram.
I don't even know the Spurs Instagram or his Hey,
what's up?
Speaker 3 (49:56):
Spurs fan?
Speaker 1 (49:57):
Just want you guys to know how excited I am
to get to say it Antonio.
Speaker 3 (50:00):
I would have never thought of a million years that
I get an opportunity to play for Pop. But I'm
so excited, excited about this young and talented team. Cannot
wait to get there and get to work and see
what we got a chance to do. All right, I
hope you guys will go Spurs Peace wrong.
Speaker 1 (50:15):
Oh my god, Peace, I don't want I hate him,
I hate him. Him and Kawhi should be together. Kawhi,
I'll quit, Paul get hurt. It'll be the perfect thing,
and the Clippers are gonna suck. Man, they're dead.
Speaker 2 (50:27):
Well are the Spurs to be good this year? Or
is it? No?
Speaker 3 (50:30):
Look next year? This year, next year? All right? Yeah, Kawhi,
you are a weird dude. I don't know what is
wrong with you.
Speaker 1 (50:37):
You are a weird dude. So I used to defend you.
Now you're as an idiot.
Speaker 3 (50:41):
So all right, he is Chris Paul. He don't have
a ring. Huh. He said he'd rather play than chase
a ring.
Speaker 2 (50:48):
Yeah. Our local affiliate kJ ninety seven said, uh, go yourself, lunchbox,
stop talking about our guy like that.
Speaker 3 (50:55):
You're right, I.
Speaker 2 (50:56):
Tag him every day in Twitter. We're ripping their city.
Speaker 3 (51:00):
No, not just ripping Chris Paul met all right, I
gotta go, man, I'm hungry.
Speaker 2 (51:05):
I like to put it on X. I'm like, you
guys are gonna love this clip. It's at the end.
Speaker 1 (51:09):
Man, I can hate that guy like they're so excited
he's there.
Speaker 2 (51:16):
Heard line news he only took a week off of vacation.
Where were you a herd Charleston or Chicago?
Speaker 3 (51:27):
No, I'm not gonna make that joke.
Speaker 2 (51:28):
No, you know where he was freaking at Italy. They
all go to Lofy Coast.
Speaker 3 (51:32):
Oh he goes there.
Speaker 2 (51:33):
They all the rich do bro.
Speaker 5 (51:36):
You know, so not everybody goes two hours from where
you live. I'm like, wait, man, you win two hours north.
I went two hours east. We could have drove there
in about six hours.
Speaker 1 (51:47):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, we we really do get out there
and explore, don't we. Hey, hey, let's go to the
city that I've gone to plenty of times as a
kid growing up, and I've gone a few times as
an adult. Let's take it an adventurous vacation to Chicago,
where you've gone millions of time.
Speaker 2 (52:01):
Our flight was forty five minutes. Dude. They didn't even
serve as drinks. It was so quick. This is your captain.
Just because it's a forty five minute flight, we are
not gonna do the drink cart. I repeat, sorry, touchdown,
land up, gear out. It's too quick. We're not gonna
do the drink cart. Five minutes later. Yeah, I'm sorry.
If you guys get your credit cards out, we are
not gonna do the drink cart. Okay, buddy, I was
still trying to take a nap. Man. I'm not an alcoholic.
(52:22):
I'm not like scratching myself, even though I did kind
of want a vod casta.
Speaker 1 (52:26):
Oh my kids, Oh Dad, dat, I'm gonna they would
get the menu. I'm gonna order this, I'm gonna order that.
I'm gonna order apple juice. Let me check the price,
all right, yeah, apple juice free, and they come over there,
gonna come.
Speaker 2 (52:37):
Uh yeah.
Speaker 1 (52:38):
There's only a fifty five minute flight, and there's some
turbulence in the last ten minutes of the flight, so
that would only give us forty five minutes to serve
beveragues today, and that's not enough time to serve the
whole cabin. So we are not gonna have in flight
service today. Just so you know, Dad, what did he say?
Speaker 2 (52:54):
Are they out of apple?
Speaker 3 (52:55):
Yea, yeah, Dad?
Speaker 1 (52:56):
So when are they gonna come take my order at
well Son? Sorry, they're not, Yeah I did. Or look,
we'll get some apple juice when we get off the plane.
I wanted to order apple juice. Dad, When are they
gonna get No? No, no, Son, like the short the flight
is too short. They're not gonna serve apple juice.
Speaker 2 (53:09):
Son. They're flying a plane twenty thousand feet above the earth.
He didn't address the apple juice situation.
Speaker 3 (53:15):
Yeah, they're not worried about your damn Apple juice Daddy.
Speaker 2 (53:18):
I don't have my seatbelt on.
Speaker 3 (53:20):
Put it on, Damn it
All right, man, let's not talk about house keep him
when we're no, you're going, let's go.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
I always go live with the mics.
Speaker 3 (00:07):
Damn it.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
What was that? Oh?
Speaker 3 (00:09):
Just my uh supplements.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Yeah, I take steroids before the potty.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
That's good, all right, dud.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
I mean, oh, I have three stories from Charleston. Good.
Speaker 3 (00:19):
I have one from Chicago.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
Okay, it can be pick your own adventure, and I
tell what. You can pick the one, and it can be.
If it's a good one, then I can go to
the other ones. Or they just never get told and
they float off.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
No, I think we're going to talk about all three
because they are hugely important. I want to start with
the funniest first, and I already know which one I want.
You don't even have to give me the three options
you teased me at the end of the last pod.
Maybe we were we weren't even on the pod, just
sitting in here. You're like, man, I got a really
funny one about Bjay, So that's what I want to hear.
I want to hear the BJ story, and BJ is
(00:52):
a friend.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
It's not what you're thinking, guys.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Yeah, it does also sound like the other things.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
Yeah, how do we well, once we start the pod,
I'm even more frustrated with my vacation after learning something.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
Since Monday.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
I'll tell you guys right now, the best part of
a vacation is before it, the planning and the anticipation,
and when you return home and you're at your sucky
ass job and you just keep replaying the vacation in
your head. Those are almost the two best parts.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
It almost seems as though when you're experiencing it firsthand
in person.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
In the moment, just normal, Oh I'm not working, that's cool.
But other than that, it's not that great. But those are,
in my opinion, post and pre are better than present.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
You don't realize how much fun it was or the
stories that were funny until you've already left, Like you
laugh a little bit, but the more you think about it,
the funnier it gets. And then you text the people
like memory.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
When this happened? I remember when this happened? Makes it
so much better.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
Your amazing race story at the airport horrible to experience
and live through. Dude, you're talking about a generational story
that will be told forever, forever while you're.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
And the worst part is some of that works for TSA.
They put on the Facebook page just so you know
you don't need.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
The birth certificates.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
You could have just driven to the airport and you
would have been fine, because he's right, they didn't ask
for the birth certificates. Half the time we fly they
asked for the birth certificates. The other half they do not.
And I'm not talking at TSA. Maybe it's different airlines
because usually when we're at the ticket counter for Southwest,
they will ask for the the birth certificate of the kids.
(02:32):
So TSA doesn't, but Southwest does.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
That's weird and also bad co hosts slash memory No,
just horrible host assistant by not asking, well, did they
ask for the birth certificates? That would have been the
clutch line of that story, that the story needed and
I didn't deliver.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
No, they didn't ask for him. They never asked for
the birth certificates. But wait, that's on the way home.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Amy would ask that. Let me ask, Well, she's a
good co host.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
They I'm asking my wife because I wasn't there when
they checked in in Nashville. In Chicago, I was there.
They did not ask. I'm just seeing in Cincinnati Bengals
on the TV reminded me of my cat.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
My cat's a bingle. She went to the vet to
get her check ups. She had a shot yesterday. She's
been slow going, Baser said. She's stand offish, not eating
or drinking water. Prayers up for Piper. I also call
her fluffy. Wow.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
Wait, Piper's not very old and she's already having health problems. No,
just had to get her shots.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
But these thing tranquilizers go into a small, little baby
kitten and it's it's the recovery time right now. Basers
mean dramatic, I believe, but yeah, Prayers up for Piper.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
How has Piper handled the move?
Speaker 2 (03:45):
Kidding me, dude? She went from running into walls to
having a tree four upstairs, sectional couch that was on
sale at Costco, not rich rich, not low ki flex,
and then having a room to herself that we don't
even know what to do with. That's probably why we
should get a foster kid.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
Yeah. National Airport did not ask for the birth certificates.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
It has been confirmed. I hang up with myself.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
All that stressed for absolutely nothing. Let's intro the show man.
This could be one of the best ones in the history.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Go ahead and bock here we go Arnold's not here,
Let's keep the vibes going. I'm considered killing him off,
but you keep killing me. I thought of a way
how to kill him. What He just comes in here
with a gun and I fight him for it, and
then it accidentally goes off, so nobody's responsible, and so
then I don't have to serve any jail time, and
(04:39):
he just we go to his funeral. We bring audio
from his funeral. No, No, that's the perfect way to
kill him off. I have the sound effect to kill
him off, and then people think it's a real thing.
I have to answer reports.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
No, we don't.
Speaker 4 (04:58):
We don't.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
I don't want to kill him, all.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
Right, But sometimes I feel like we use it as
a crutch, just being stupid, and maybe it's not even funny,
like sometimes pet names and pet household jokes are not funny,
but we just keep doing them and it's the stupidest
thing ever, which is my biggest fear.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
No, I don't think we use Arnold as a crutch.
I think we use him very rarely. I mean, he
he was on X last night.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
This is oh you did it?
Speaker 3 (05:22):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (05:24):
From dan go Fit founder said, what's an underrated health habit.
You've added to your life, that's made it better. Arnold replied, meth.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
Oh, and that was Arnold on X. We've got to
start the show man.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
Is this splitsh splash CC Sabbathia.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
No, it ain't sabbat is that?
Speaker 2 (05:52):
No, he had the Yankees have food.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
That's Aaron Donald.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
It's I think it's that Buffalo Bill's guy that they
had on screen.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
Us Dion Dawkins.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
Yeah, damn dude. All right, do we guess star at
the show?
Speaker 3 (06:02):
Now let's go all right, We're gonna.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Do a lot. Oh the one, two, three sore losers?
Speaker 3 (06:12):
What up, everybody? I am lunchbox.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
I know the most about sports, so I'll give you
the sports facts, my sports opinions, because I'm pretty much
a sports genius, y'all.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
It says that I'm from the north of an alpha male.
I live on the north side of Nashville with Basers.
She's a Broadway girl. I took her there to the
country and we love it. Farmers, ranchers, a lot of countryside.
A lot of them own about one hundred acres. They
won't sell. We won't sell. The developers every day knocking
on our doors, except for mine. I only have three acres,
but we will not sell coach over to you. Man.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
Now I want to hear about BJ, man, I want,
I want to hear about your trip to Charleston, South Carolina.
Not I don't want to hear about me running through
the airport. And I didn't even need to run through
the airport because the birth certificates were unnecessary. From now on,
I know that you do not need to bring half
the time southwest.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
Ass I don't understand.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
The low country. Well, there's three stories, and I gave
them all a one name title, go ahead, the homeless Man.
Actually it's a one phrase title, so thank you. There's
the homeless man. There's the BJ story, and there's the flood.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Give me another flood. Give me the BJ story for
five hundred, alex.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
So BJ came midweek. We had a couple of days
without him, and then he just rolled up. He ended
up staying at our crib downtown first quarter, and it's
called that, I think, I don't know what do they
call him Burrows? They do call him Burrows, our burrow
in Charleston. And so he was sleeping on the couch
the whole week. Had no idea that was the thing.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
Did Billy show up.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
Billy turned it down and said he's going to his
dad's lake house. Video proved he did not go to
his dad's lake house. No idea where he went, but
he turned down Charleston. I guess you just buy flights
cancel him. You don't care about the money.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
Got it.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
I think he just had bigger, better deals And it
was probably for the best. It ended up being a
baser's best friends type thing instead of me trying to
mix my best friends with her best friends and the house.
There's no way we would have all fit. That's for
another day. But anyway, so BJ comes into town and
we're all gonna go out to a club, and we're
out and about dude, we're clubbing it, okay, and you
(08:22):
gotta be thinking Tuesday Wednesday night scrillicks and a lot slower.
But it is club music because it's at night. And
so my ass I do is zapper and I'm also
drinking the high noons the Claws. It was a good night.
And we'd also seen the city the entire.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
Day, been out.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
Because there's Sullivan Island, there's Chem's Creek, there's King Street,
there's the French quarter.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
No, there's New Orleans. No, they haven't Charleston.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
Some other quarter. It's not the French Quarter something like
that south of town. So there's so many different things. Dude,
we filled it, squeeze the orange as much you could.
BJ comes to town in my ass on the I'm

Yeah, I never heard Katie before.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Great, super nice dude.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
She'll give the shirt off her back and some of
our listeners would probably love that.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
The men, the men in the trucks, the truck drivers.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
They would rip their shirt just so they could say, hey, Katie,
can I have your shirt?
Speaker 3 (09:24):
Just to see her?
Speaker 5 (09:24):
Do it?
Speaker 2 (09:25):

Speaker 2 (10:15):
So, but BJ's interested in men. Katie's interested in men.
Speaker 1 (10:20):

about that, Like they are going for the same crop.
Like they both see corn out there in the field.
They're they're fighting over that corn stock.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
So we go to Uptown, which is popular a block away.
We all walked there. Katie got us lost. She's from there,
and we walked the wrong direction for about thirty minutes.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
Alcohol does that to you, man. That's why she's so cool.
Did she get mad that she got lost? No, she's
just cool with it.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
Katie's awesome. I think she's gonna roll up again. She's
gonna pull up, dude, we're gonna hang out.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
She's gonna pull up to Nashville.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
Yeah, like it. We've hung out with her before and
she's like such a vibe and a connector. So there's
all these connectors.
Speaker 4 (10:53):
Me.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
I'm talking, Katie's talking at Bazer. Then Baser starts to
not feel so good. She goes back home. It's a
block walk. I said, guys, guys, guys, I'm gonna walk
Baser back and she said, no, I'm not feeling good.
It is one block track me on your phone. I said, okay,
So we go upstairs. It's me, BJ, Katie, and Ali. Yeah,
we're all upstairs. And I said, hey, I'm gonna find
(11:15):
you girls. Dudes. Do a guy, dude, girl, dude, got it.
So Katie, Katy, Hey, what do you think about this guy?
What do you think about this guy? It ended up
narrowing down to three just cowboy redneck I should actually,
even though we were in Charleston, which is a low
country I'm a Southern boy. We found these guys Texas
(11:35):
type boys. Think of that cowboy boots hats. Oh yeah, man,
we're from Texas?
Speaker 3 (11:39):
Are you?
Speaker 2 (11:43):
We are from Texas? Man?
Speaker 3 (11:46):
Gig them cowboys.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Great dudes. I invite them all over. We're all talking. Dude.
At one point I thought we knew the whole bar uptown,
great spot block from ours King Street, look it up.
The bartenders are awesome. Was a little hot upstairs, glad
you asked the temperature. But then BJ he's there, and
Bja said, I'm looking for guys. And so then I
get up talking to this guys in like I want
to say it, Uh, definitely the Sperry's Gottari's nice pants,
(12:10):
night shirt, and I go, BJ, yeah, hey, we're all talking.
I'm like, are you interested in dudes? I mean, so
I'm asking everybody everything. We're all just socializing.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
In every dude You're like, hey, gey or girl? You
want guy or girl? And and the guys are like, uh,
I prefer girls. Okay, well Katie's available.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
The suit guy it was kind of vague, but believe
he was married.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
Oh okay. And then there's the three cowboys. Okay, so
we're all talking.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
We're all talking, and that was it. I connected a
little bit. Don't know how well I did, but again
my main point was it was a Tuesday or Wednesday night,
pretty slow. Yeah, so it was Linn Pickens. It was
us and those dudes at the top of this bar. Okay, downstairs,
maybe some stragglers, but I met the people that we
were all hanging out with. So I bail. I go Katie,
(12:52):
I'm out at one. Katie goes, I'm out at one fifteen.
So she got an uber back to her place. Baser.
I was fifteen minutes behind her. Baser said, no, let
me go alone. I'm not feeling good. I really just
need to walk and get to there, all right, cool,
like one hundred degrees down there. So then I hit
the streets. Not even part of the story, but dude,
I got lost. We're a block away. I called an
uber and I go, I know this is embarrassing. You're
gonna probably take me a block, but I can't find
(13:13):
where I live. Not important to the story, but our
street was Felix. There was also a bar called Felix.
So every time, in my defense, every time I told
the phone, hey, I gotta go to Felix, it would
take me to the bar.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
Oh not cool. Lost.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
It was a block from my place. I've never been
more lost in my life. Zapies do that to you mans, Zappies.
Guy takes me home. Me and Beazer go to bed. Okay,
BJ and Ali remember one fifteen timeline is important. Al
BJ and Ali walk home. They filmed a TikTok video.
It blew up, it went viral. It was Ali doing
her new song boys Like Girls, and they got one
(13:49):
hundred million views. It's the most viral video in TikTok history.
And they filmed it on the way home. It all
goes with the tideline. You guys can look it up.
Ali Colleen Katie's back at her place on Sullivan Island.
I think, so BJ and Ali come home. I hear
him fifteen minutes after me. Okay, we all go to bed.
I'll go to bed. That's the end of the story.
(14:09):
Well that was awesome, man, until I wake up in
the morning. Oh and I go out in the living
room and Ali's on the couch. Ali was never on
the couch.
Speaker 3 (14:20):
BJ was supposed to be on the couch.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
Correct. Ali was always in her own bedroom.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
Got it.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
So then I'm back in there with Baser and I go, day,
it's really weird. Ali's on the couch. She goes, well,
why don't you check the room. And I go and
put my ear up against the door of the room,
and I hear BJ. Remember I told you we met
three cowboys and a guy in dress suit, family guy married.
(14:45):
Those are where people are hanging out with three straight cowboys,
guy in a family suit, doc or Sperry's family, man
in town married. Hear BJ's voice, and then I hear, yeah,
I'm gonna go ahead and call a cab. Not my voice,
what not? BJ talks. BJ is a little bit more
effeminate in how he talks.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
And Billy's not here, and.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
Billy's not here, and I hear, yeah, I'm gonna go
ahead and get a cab. Mazer. I hear BJ, and
I hear my voice. There's a different dude's voice in
the bedroom.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
So I slamr dormly, Oh my gosh, NOJ.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
Brought somebody home. And so he goes to the front door.
Alley's they'll sleep it.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
I hear this is the best representation of how I
can say. He goes, I'm trying to think voice wise,
there's my voice, BJ. Oh you sucker. BJ is a
little bit more effeminate, got it? And then I hear yes,
I'm gonna head home. The door sound, and then the
(15:55):
door closes, door opens, door close. I don't know who
BJ hooked up with, but it was either one of
the three cowboys but you still don't know, or the
married man.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
So you don't sit down on the couch and wait
for him to walk out when he you hear.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
I guess I'm gonna call a cab.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
You don't say sit down in the living room and oh,
how's it going, just so you can have that interaction
in that moment with whoever is coming out of that room.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
A little bit grossed out, ended up talking to BJ.
Me and him went for a thirty minute walk. It
was wild. We couldn't find a gas station that was
open the next day. And the answer is.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
It was to guy Insbury's in doctor shirt and choosing
doctors shirt.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
Married guy. Oh but they didn't do anything. He just
needed a place today.
Speaker 4 (16:57):
BDA heyn on, Hey, BJ, pull this straight, dude, No, no, no,
I'm telling you.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
We were fifteen minutes ahead of them. There was nobody
else at the club that they met.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
It was either one of the three cowboys or the
guy and Dockers DJ said to his recollection of what
I remember and what he remembers, it was the guy
in Sperry's and Dockers, but that they all believe.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
But nothing happened.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
Nothing happened. He just needed a place to stay. The
Ubers sometimes are a little slower at that time. But
the only place for him to stay was in bed
with BJ. So he ended up staying the night, found
a cab the next day, and that was it. BJ
said he never texted him again. BJ texted him guy
never text back. Wow, no response? That is awesome that cobezer.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
Here's another voice in here and it's not minor beajs. Yeah,
I mean it just makes perfect sense. They were gonna
do nothing, but Ali had to move to the couch
and the bedroom door was closed. Needed a place, glad
he could have it at our place on Felix Street.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
Hopefully he found his family.
Speaker 3 (18:20):
So, honey, how'd your business trip to Charleston go?
Speaker 2 (18:23):
Anything?
Speaker 3 (18:26):
Anything happened?
Speaker 2 (18:27):
No?
Speaker 1 (18:27):
I just needed a place to stay. I mean what,
excuse me? Like you needed a place to stay?
Speaker 2 (18:34):
Yeah? Like yeah, for whatever reason, the hotel bed was
like a double.
Speaker 3 (18:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
I was really lost and I ran into this guy.
I mean he showed me the way, so I got
with I got a BJ. You can did what No, No, no.
I met a guy named BJ and he was nice
enough to take me back to his place and put
me in bed and close the door. But nothing happened.
(19:02):
Oh that's good, honey. I'm glad you had a good time.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
We gotta take your breath.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
Wow, that's good, man, that's real good. I hope the
off and on guy doesn't listen to this.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
I hope the cowboys though.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
I don't mind if the cowboys do. I hope the
married man doesn't. We'll take a break, ah, man, who
will be right back?
Speaker 2 (19:30):
We gotta go over to you, man.
Speaker 3 (19:31):
Yeah. So we're staying downtown Chicago.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
Ray and the kids see that big old Ferris will
at a place called Navy Pyre Navy p.
Speaker 3 (19:47):
Here, Like, dada, dada, what is that? Can we go?
Can we go see that?
Speaker 1 (19:53):
I'm like, yeah, man, we can walk over there, and
we go to this little park right here. I think
we're in Lincoln Park, right by Lincoln Park. Play on
this cool playground that they have. It's huge, got a
nice big bridge, some huge slides. Run around there for
a little bit, and then we're gonna walk to Navy Peer.
Speaker 4 (20:12):
Well.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
I gotta be honest with you, it's kind of a
long walk along Lake Michigan to get Navy Peer from
this park. Maybe a little over No, we're we're on
the walkway right Jim Whacker Drive.
Speaker 3 (20:23):
Maybe a little over a mile.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
Man, that's a long way for these little kids to
walk after we've been hoofing it around Chicago all day
playing on playgrounds.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
They're hungry, they're tired.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
The magnificent mile.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
We get all the way down to Navy Peer and
we eat at Harry Carey's restaurant right there on Navy Peer.
Speaker 3 (20:40):
Look at all the memorabilia.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
They're so excited to see pictures of athletes and jerseys
and baseball bats and uh whatever else they had in
their gloves.
Speaker 3 (20:50):
Then they want to go on the ferris wheel.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
He's down playing the memorabilia. You go to every room,
it's the most unbelievable Chicago Bulls, Cubs, White Sox stuff, you've.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
Seen, Blackhawks, it's I know, it is awesome. It's incredible
food whatever, it's just food. It's a bar food. It's
Harry Carry's and they have a big, you know, cow
at the front, and for some reason, my kids like
sticking their face in the butt of the cow, and
my wife's like, I don't get why the cow's there,
and I'm like, because he always said holy cow. Uh oh,
(21:19):
so that's why the cow's there. So then we go
get on the ferris wheel and we love it. Did
we get stuck with these two three random people? Dude,
his chick and then the Tagalon friend. They didn't really
speak to us. They didn't speak much English, so we
didn't really communicate with them. And it was awesome because
you go on that big ferris wheel and I didn't
realize it goes pretty fast. And we got up there
(21:43):
and we already hit back down. I'm like, dang, we
already going back down, and we kept going. I'm like, oh, okay,
you do like four rotations. So after three rotations of
us looking at the downtown big skyscrapers, I looked at
the other three people and my wife looked at them
and goes, do you guys want to sit over here?
They're like, yes, yes, So we switched and we looked
out over Lake, Michigan and they looked.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
Over the buildings.
Speaker 4 (22:05):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
Wife swap and by this time it's already ten o'clock
and they're gonna have or no, not nine to thirty
and they're having fireworks at ten thirty. But I was like,
we can't stay, it's getting too late. And we look
up and it is one point five miles to our hotel.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
I'm like, oh my god, we can't walk. No way,
there's no way at nine thirty at night, downtown Chicago,
we are gonna walk with a two year old, a
four year old, and a five year old. And I'm like,
we'll just call, We'll just get a cab.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
Where you guys had to do? Trump Tower?
Speaker 3 (22:40):
Uh No?
Speaker 1 (22:41):
But we did stay like diagonal from Trump Tower. I
saw Trump Tower. We stayed right next to the fire
station downtown. On Wacker Street, I stayed very close to their. Dude,
Wacker Street. Do not get on Wacker Street. Dude, you
get on Wacker Street, you are off like you don't
know where you're going. You get stuck underground. You go
(23:02):
up a level, you go down a level, you are
all over Whacker.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
Excuse me? Are we on Whacker Street? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (23:07):
Man, you want me to show you.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
And once you start on Whacker you can't get off Whacker.
I mean it was just like whack this way, whack
that way. I mean, it is homeless people under the ground.
I mean, it was so weird. Could never figure out
Whacker Street. Don't get on it. So I'm like, we're
just getting a cab and my wife's like, no, we can't.
We don't have car seats. I'm like, it's going a
(23:31):
mile and a half. Goes no, we can't do it.
It's too dangerous.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
I'd getting now the dilemma.
Speaker 3 (23:37):
So I'm like, well, what do we do. Oh, there's
a little petty cab right there.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
Are you thinking adoption?
Speaker 1 (23:43):
And I say okay, And I look at the petty cabin.
It says twenty to thirty dollars per person. I said,
I can't pay that because we have five people. He goes, oh, no, no,
I don't charge for kids. Perfect like, great, going a.
Speaker 3 (23:55):
Mile and a half, honey, bogo.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
So we go a mile and a half, We get
pull up at the hotel, kids get off, wife gets off.
They go in the hotel. The guy gets off and
he pulls out his phone, pulls out the calculator.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
Yep, it's coming through.
Speaker 3 (24:14):
He goes, all right, that'll be ninety dollars.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
That's not the twenty of part what he.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
Goes, yeah, yay, Yeah, like a mile and a half
two people. That's ninety And I said, what happened to
twenty to thirty dollars a person? He goes, it's twenty
to thirty dollars a person per mile.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
You tell him to try that in a small town.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
I was like, what it cost me ninety dollars to
go a mile and a half. And all I could
think is the whole time we're walking along Lake Michigan,
people are going by riding in these little pettycats. They
probably been drinking, and you're thinking, Oh, we'll just go
for a fun little ride. Little do you know it's
gonna cost you four hundred dollars because it's twenty to
(25:01):
thirty dollars per person. So if you have five adults
in there to go two miles.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
Ooh, it's dirty underbelly.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
I and you're kind of screwed. There's nothing you can do.
You can't argue with it. It's not like it's a
better business bureau. It's not like there's a regulation. If
I just say, well, actually, no, I think it should
be about thirty forty dollars, the dude has me you
can run. I thought about Ray, I'm a little slow
with the kids.
Speaker 3 (25:25):
That was the problem.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
Wife's I'm like ninety dollars, He goes, we can do
credit if you want. Well, no, shit, you think I
got ninety dollars in cash in my pocket for you? There, Budze,
I'm running, honey, let's go.
Speaker 3 (25:41):
Hit the cad, hit the button, hit the button, hit
the buttons.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
Ninety freaking dollars. We were having the time of our lives,
taking pictures, sticking our head out the side of the
petty cab.
Speaker 3 (25:54):
He was all lit up with lights. The kids were
loving like whoa, whoa. It all came to a screeching
hole when he told me his ninety dollars.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
Kids, no breakfast. We're hemorrhaging money ever since. We got
to Chicago next day.
Speaker 3 (26:06):
Dadda, can we ride one of those games?
Speaker 2 (26:08):
No?
Speaker 3 (26:08):
No, dadda, Hey can we ride that?
Speaker 4 (26:12):
No?
Speaker 2 (26:12):
In fact, I'm gonna show you a finger. You need
to show them. Hey don't need to ride?
Speaker 1 (26:17):
Hey, dda, how come we are walking everywhere? Why don't
we ride one of those things?
Speaker 2 (26:20):
We wrote?
Speaker 1 (26:20):
No, son, too expensive, so dada, but data they went fast? Yeah,
they went fast. And you know when went faster is
my money. That's when went faster is my money?
Speaker 2 (26:32):
Dude, you know what goes fast? I vacation.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
The money good god, Oh, I don't know who I'm
calling ninety freaking dollars for a mile and a half.
So if you go to Chicago, never get on one
of those stupid ass petticabs. They are going to poke
you in the eyes, punch you in the stomach, kick
you in the nuts, and take your money.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
Also, we're dumbasses. The reason Ali told me this Ali Colleen. Guys,
look her up. The TikTok is viral actually is filmed
en route to our place on Felix. It'll contribute to
the story Ali clean TikTok no idea if that's her
name on there. But the thing with petticabs, the reason
they're popular in Austin is it's flat ground. Ali told
(27:14):
me when she's tried to get him sometimes at after
shows on Broadway, they won't take her because a lot
in Nashville is hilly. They'll only take her certain directions.
They say, oh no, no, don't you don't think we're
going up that Broadway hill. No, oh no, no, no,
we're not gonna go up Second Avenue hill. So they
don't even go up those and if they do a
lot of them are motorized.
Speaker 3 (27:34):
That yeah, it is treat cheating my guys. It wasn't motorized.
I get it.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
And he did drive us on Whacker a little bit.
He came up a big you know, it was a
big hill. But to charge me ninety dollars to go
a mile and a half, Oh my god.
Speaker 3 (27:48):
But he had me.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
He had me dead to rights because we were a
mile and a half from the hotel and there was
no way we were walking.
Speaker 3 (27:56):
My wife wasn't wanting to take a cab. So what
the hell are you gonna do?
Speaker 2 (27:59):
And even more confusing with whack or you're not just
dumb that it's underground street as well.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
Yes, underground and above ground and it's the same damn road.
And the GPS kept saying take a leap. I'm like,
it's a brick wall man. Because I was underground, I
didn't know how to get out of underground.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
Confusing.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
Oh my god, that was my last story from Chicago.
We'll take a break and we're gonna go to the
homeless man right after this.
Speaker 3 (28:32):
Hit me with it.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
Yeah, this is just all about business and being smart.
It's actually a pretty quick one. I go there, and
I mean, let's just say the French quarter. I, for
the love of God, Cappy please help me. I think
it's called the French Did.
Speaker 3 (28:45):
You see Cappy?
Speaker 2 (28:47):
No, but he's there and need hit me up a
day after the fact. Oh, dude. Sometimes it would get
into DMS and stuff and behind sorry, but I go
there there, I'm on the street. Okay. There'd be times
I'm just on the street and so I'm on the
street and I hear what's the one they sing that?
Speaker 3 (29:04):
Uh zee ya.
Speaker 2 (29:10):
Beautiful? And I think I deleted the dance.
Speaker 3 (29:13):
Dude was singing like a champ.
Speaker 1 (29:14):
Dude, did I delete the videos? You know we have
a podcast, right, my phone is always full. Yeah, okay,
I see yah, go ahead as the yah.
Speaker 3 (29:33):
We got that line.
Speaker 1 (29:34):
We got that line, man, I'm Philip blustering. And then
if you don't have it, you don't have Are you
gonna try to retrieve it?
Speaker 2 (29:39):
No, I deleted it. I even tried to retrieve it.
It's double deleted as these.
Speaker 3 (29:49):
So the guys singing this.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
Yeah, and so I've had a couple okay, so the
girls would take a nap and I just be on
the street. Dude, I'm just seeing. I mean, there was
a lot of college kids in the area. There's people
at Airbnb's. It was more of an Airbnb quarter, got it.
The people that had houses were rich, just loaded, rolling
up in beamurs getting into their houses, and so I Azziah,
I'm like, that's beautiful. I start recording it for the show. Dude,
(30:11):
I'm always thinking audio for the show. And then I
deleted it. But I recorded it okay, and he sounded beautiful,
and he needed money, So what is my drunk ass?
Do I give him twenty dollars? Oh that's all I had.
I didn't have anything else to give him. I give
him twenty dollars. You know what.
Speaker 1 (30:25):
I run into that problem all the time, because like
when we leave the National c games, there's a guy
and or it's two kids banging on buckets.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
Which is good and you want to help them.
Speaker 1 (30:36):
And I gave my kids three dollars one time, a
dollar each because they saw people. And now every time
we leave the game, Data act we give him some money.
I'm like, oh, I got to ten, right, But Data,
he's doing a good job, isn't he. I'm like, mother,
So kids don't understand that you don't have to give
him money every freaking time, but we do, but they do,
they want it.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
And so then I'm out the next day and I
hear Aziah Blue.
Speaker 3 (31:00):
Oh God, you give him another twenty. Not me.
Speaker 2 (31:02):
I'm smart, even though I had a couple of drinks,
I'm still money conscious. But I've seen him going out
to other people. Aziehs is blue. He's on a bike, singing,
goes and hits up. Another college kid gives him whatever
a one to five, and then there's airbnbers, so everybody's
on vacation generous with their money. Azee Yah's blue the street.
I mean there's it's an L, so it's boom, he's
(31:24):
hitting them. He's coming up r L on Felix. You
can look it up online as a blue. And so
I'm pissed, Dude, I gave the guy twenty. It's kind
of I mean, I've already been hemorrhagy money now for
about three days, and then I get rid of the
twenty that I had. So that was that. Every damn
day I see the guy dazy yas a blue. Second
(31:45):
to last day that I'm there, we had the most
rundown gas station dude, I don't even know how the
thing hasn't been closed by the Better Business Bureau. Me
and BJ had gone into it at times. This time
I'm solo and I go into it. I gotta get drinks.
Everybody's dying the thirst in the morning. We got nothing,
you know, from the drink the night before.
Speaker 3 (32:01):
And you see the business man the family man.
Speaker 2 (32:05):
No, but that would have been a hell of a twist.
Speaker 3 (32:07):
Oh my god, I thought that's where we're going.
Speaker 2 (32:09):
This is decently good. And I'm in this store. It
is tight. There's two rows and I mean you ain't moving, okay.
Speaker 3 (32:17):
Yeah, shoulders, shoulders, shoulder to shoulder.
Speaker 2 (32:20):
And I'm getting the drinks loading them up. Service is terrible.
There's one worker shocking, and I see a guy guy
coming out of the back. Excuse me, Oh yeah, yeah,
excuse me loading up the drinks. I'm grabbing a couple.
He's loading them back. Thanks man, thank oh perfect, Yes,
that's what I was looking for. One of those ice drinks.
Thank you very much. Absolutely man, grab another one, dude,
(32:43):
you have any PEPSI absolutely man, Thank you, so dude.
My hands are full. I'm walking, get walking to the front,
fuck you to the front. But I'm already obviously hungover.
This ship that only happens to you when you're hungover.
So I'm walking to the front of the store to pay,
I hear a see as blue. No. I look back.
Speaker 1 (33:11):
It's the same guy that was panhandling also stock shelves
at the gas station, so he's not even homeway.
Speaker 2 (33:18):
And I looked at him and I was like, you
son of a.
Speaker 1 (33:27):
He got me for the twenty and he moonlights stocking shelves,
So I don't know if they just help out the
homeless and allow him to stock shelves and pay him
on the side. That means he goes out there, sings
that song because he knows he's really good at that song,
gets a lot of money, and then goes to work
at the gas station to supplement his own income.
Speaker 2 (33:48):
We had a smile with each other because he knew
that I gave him that shiny twenty and I said,
you son of a bitch, A businessman to another businessman
to shave my friend well, not see eyes. I was
on to him. Day Five's eyes Blue Only in Charleston, folks.
Speaker 3 (34:17):
That was a great story.
Speaker 2 (34:19):
It wasn't a twist.
Speaker 1 (34:20):
We needed Ray needed the spurs guy with I thought
he was gonna be in there begging for money, but hey,
can you buy me a PEPSI?
Speaker 3 (34:28):
No, he's stuck in the shelves at the gas station.
Speaker 2 (34:30):
The better twist would have been Sperry's and doctors dude
with his wife.
Speaker 3 (34:35):
Oh my god, Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (34:37):
Hey man, I know you from somewhere.
Speaker 3 (34:41):
Hey you do you know my friend BJ? I think?
How do I know you have that? You have a
face that I recognized, Like.
Speaker 2 (34:53):
I were you went uptown the other night? Oh you were?
Speaker 3 (34:59):
Oh no you.
Speaker 1 (35:02):
Huh?
Speaker 3 (35:04):
Hey you may.
Speaker 2 (35:05):
Have maybe you saw him in an Uber. He got
an Uber randomly the other night with another guy.
Speaker 3 (35:13):
Complete accident.
Speaker 1 (35:14):
He was so drunk he didn't really He did Uber share,
you know, carpool.
Speaker 2 (35:18):
He did more than Uber share, wifey.
Speaker 3 (35:22):
He also did the bench share. We taking another break.
Speaker 2 (35:30):
Oh yeah, we'll take.
Speaker 3 (35:30):
A break because you got one more story right away.
What's your last story?
Speaker 2 (35:34):
The flood?
Speaker 3 (35:35):
We'll be right back. Hey, that's not good. Hey, Houston,
I hope you guys are okay. I know Aaron Merrick
is okay.
Speaker 1 (35:43):
He hit me on Facebook and said he's coming to
Nashville for his wedding anniversary. And he said do you
want to meet for a beer. I said, no, man,
you may kill me with how much Texas hate I
give you.
Speaker 3 (35:52):
But we'll be right back.
Speaker 1 (35:53):
He survived the Texas storms, and I hope by other
people did too. Right back the flood. How do you
guys always flood? You flooded the last time when Billy
was here.
Speaker 2 (36:07):
That's right, dude, That's why I need a co host. Man.
Hell of a connection. We get there and we read
the guest book a couple drinks one night. It was
a lot of downtimes that we're playing Domino's Chicken Leg,
watching Wimbledon Round one. Now we're into the semis.
Speaker 3 (36:21):
Hey, I mean, joker gotta walk over.
Speaker 1 (36:24):
Well, I don't know what happened to the other guy
hurt as hip man, But anyways, we're reading the guestbook
and it says stuff, Oh, love the Airbnb.
Speaker 2 (36:32):
It was so funnier. We had a great time. Love
the Airbnb. A lot of rain. Weren't able to use
first Avenue. Huh, love the Airbnb.
Speaker 1 (36:41):
Man careful when it rains another comment, Love the Airbnb.
Speaker 2 (36:45):
It was nuts, except for you can't go on first
Avenue if it rains. Oh, it's weird. Love the Airbnb.
It was beautiful, gorgeous, gorgeous, really nice back patio, perfect
for the fall weather. But that storm that came in
really caught us by surprise. We were stuck in side.
That's funny, that's so so weird. And then we got
all drunk and we right in there. We're like, we're
(37:06):
fucking celebrities, dude. We wrote a bunch of drunks. It
was like the most beautiful guest book and then we
just demolished it with our We like all signed it,
though Ali's signature might be worth something sometime, and so
then we're uh f wour a weight. We're on King
Street and we're drinking it uptown. Uptown ended up being
(37:27):
one of the favorites. That was one of your spots
drink deals, and they're you're.
Speaker 3 (37:31):
Like, McKitty, you go to the same bar over and
over again.
Speaker 2 (37:33):
They're a decent amount of time because it was a
block from the place, and they would play Ali's song
that she's releasing in two weeks over the speakers, and
so we would see if people were vie vibe into it.
And so we leave uptown. We get into the weed store,
but we didn't buy weed.
Speaker 1 (37:48):
A weed legal there or one of the other ones.
Speaker 2 (37:52):
Non THHC got it. But they also have Kate Agent
Asian candies, so you don't even have to get the THHC.
Speaker 3 (37:58):
Got it.
Speaker 2 (37:59):
Yeah, there's non they're just normal candies from Asia. But
you can only get him at the weed store.
Speaker 3 (38:03):
I've never been Charleston. Sounds like a heck of a place. Man, crazy.
Speaker 2 (38:06):
So we're in the weed store, all right. Girls are
running in from the water. Dude, there's girls in bikini tops, so,
oh my gosh, it's raining. We get in there there
Ali gets some Asian candies sucking them down. I'm like,
are you guys getting high? And they said, no, there's
no whatever it's called in it. I don't know. That's
what confused me.
Speaker 3 (38:23):
Please explain it to me.
Speaker 2 (38:24):
So we're trapped in the store an hour. Dude, the
biggest derentio comes through people floating by on the water
in front of the King Street no less, and so
we finally stops and then we're able to leave. We're
stuck in there in the store forever. And I go
up to the one dude we'd spent money with and
I go, hey, man, I've got to go I've had
to go for an hour. Can you please use your restroom?
And he looks at me dead in the eye and
he goes, no, man, we don't have one here. So
(38:46):
you're an employee and for a nine hours you guys
are on one restroom.
Speaker 1 (38:49):
Okay, so you shut down the store when you got
to goee, you lock the doors and go next door.
Speaker 2 (38:53):
I thought we were on a pretty common ground where
we're all cool. That's all good man, I'll just piss myself.
I'm waiting. So it finally clears up. We go home.
We're going home. We get an Uber because it's a
decent amount of little jog, So we get into Uber
and we're all just in the bag, just kind of
We hadn't been drinking in hours because the weed shop
had no alcohol, so we're just kind of like sobering up.
And then we get to second avenue and they dry
(39:15):
and none of us even saw it.
Speaker 1 (39:16):
And the driver goes, oh no, oh oh.
Speaker 2 (39:22):
Shit, oh you me, and we all look up. Dude
thought he got in a car accident. The entire first
avenue flooded. Our apartment house was underwater, and we go
I get now why. The guest book said it sucks
when it rains, and so the driver goes, I can't
(39:44):
go any farther. I cannot go any farther, So dude
drops us two blocks up.
Speaker 3 (39:50):
So now you need a canoe to get to the plane.
Speaker 2 (39:52):
We're able to go on the sidewalk far enough and
then get into our house. And at our front door
is a barricade because the bloods get up so high
on the door that you need this little thing that
you stick in front where it's there's like an Allen
wrench and a Jimmy wrench, and you stick it in
there and you suck it off and you keep turning
it and jacking it. So we had this thing on
our door so our house wouldn't flood. And so we're
(40:14):
all laughing, like man reading that guest book. They should
have said, hey, guys, if you're reading this, the entire
fucking first floor floods, not first avenue.
Speaker 1 (40:23):
I think you guys said it wrong, dude, So then
the whole time, sorry, go ahead, So then the whole
I'm like, we get inside safely.
Speaker 2 (40:30):
I believe the girls took their shoes off. I was
fine with mine on my.
Speaker 1 (40:33):
Own care gonna say shirts, damn No, yeah, the girls
getting naked.
Speaker 2 (40:36):
IM.
Speaker 3 (40:36):
I was like, all right, cool, all right.
Speaker 2 (40:38):
So dude, I sit there, I grab a beer. I'm
sitting on the barricade, just watching people. I mean it's like,
guy orders pizza, pizza, Gar won't go any farther. Guy
in the pizza. He's wading through water to get his pizza.
Guy and girl come home from work. The chick is
like in her nice dress thing.
Speaker 1 (40:54):
She's like, fuck it, I don't know what else to do,
So she's walking across the in the water.
Speaker 2 (40:58):
The dude decides to scale his whole first floor of
his house. Could have fallen and broken his back to
get into the house. I'm like, buddy, there was probably
a better route, dude, So nobody's able to go in.
The cars are stopping. People are like what the I mean,
what the how did this flood? What the dude? Apparently,
anytime it rains where we were Charleston, half of it
is under seawater level, so it floods. So if if
(41:21):
there's a rainstorm, you're a foot underwater.
Speaker 3 (41:25):
Why don't they fix that?
Speaker 2 (41:26):
I mean, dude, so your boy, I mean, I am
just sitting drinking, wimbled and playing and it's just one
after another. Pizza guy, a couple coming home from work.
You got dude, people abandoning their car. There was three
cars in the middle of the road. I took pictures.
We can put them all up. It was nuts. I've
never actually been part of a flood, hurricane Katrina style,
(41:47):
and it happened in a flash one one hour. It
was flooded out.
Speaker 3 (41:51):
That's unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (41:52):
But then it really did.
Speaker 1 (41:53):
You go to the guests and be like, hey, people
weren't lying about that first avenue.
Speaker 2 (41:57):
Yeah, guys, when you said first avenue, you can also
say first avenue slash flooded.
Speaker 6 (42:04):
There not one person in the guest book used the terminology.
Can hurricane flood like paunch, a train breach, and then
like the mosquitoes.
Speaker 3 (42:18):
How long does it take to get ford to go down?
Speaker 2 (42:20):
Oh, we're flooded for about three four hours. Girls were
just inside. You can't go out, just flooded. The girls
are napping. I'm like, ladies, it's getting a little higher one.
Speaker 1 (42:31):
Guys, get to a higher level, get upstairs, get on
the roof.
Speaker 2 (42:34):
It would never go to where it actually came in
our house, but it was definitely up the steps that
took video of it all.
Speaker 3 (42:41):
That's wild.
Speaker 2 (42:41):
Yeah yeah, I mean, I mean it was no. No,
I have those videos. I can post them all.
Speaker 3 (42:46):
So you deleted, You didn't delete.
Speaker 2 (42:47):
The flood, you didn't delete, deleted. There's an eyes of
blue color.
Speaker 3 (42:54):
One that sounds like a good vacation.
Speaker 6 (42:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (42:58):
Yeah, that's it, dude, that's it.
Speaker 6 (42:59):
Man.
Speaker 2 (42:59):
Choose your own adventure. The homeless, the Bjay or the flood.
You got them all.
Speaker 3 (43:06):
Yeah, And I did something right. The other day. I
logged on.
Speaker 1 (43:12):
Ray said the Nigani All Stars are playing in the
state championship. He put the link on the Facebook page,
and I'm like, you know what, Boomer, I'm gonna show
you some support.
Speaker 3 (43:21):
I'm sitting here on the couch.
Speaker 1 (43:23):
Let me go ahead and tune into the Nigani All
Stars versus whoever the hell they were playing. And I
turn it on and they both have white jerseys on
y and the camera only shows their back, so you
have no idea what team is what.
Speaker 2 (43:38):
And if the ball gets hit to the outfield, no
clue if he gets caught or not.
Speaker 1 (43:42):
And what I learned is I just got to sit
there and wait and hope someone says something about who
they are. Eventually, one of the coaches walked up to
the fence and he had Northern All Stars on his
shirt and I was like, Okay, that is not the
team I want to win.
Speaker 3 (43:58):
And I watched Nigani. They were tied two to two
and then fielding.
Speaker 1 (44:04):
Errors one by the third basement and one by the
second basement. I believe they give up two runs. It's
four to two, and I'm like, oh no, that is
not good for Nigani.
Speaker 3 (44:14):
Not good.
Speaker 1 (44:15):
But I will say that when they came to hit,
they had a great They got great advice from the
guy sitting right next to the damn camera. Right next
to the damn camera. The guy would say the same
thing every freaking pitch.
Speaker 2 (44:31):
And that guy was your dad.
Speaker 3 (44:34):
No freaking way.
Speaker 1 (44:37):
I was like this, dude, Hey, this is what he says.
Don't give an inch, keep your head down, step right
towards the pitcher, get a line drive base hit. Every pitch.
He would say it to every hitter, every pitch. All right, now, Bill,
(44:58):
keep your head down, don't give an inch. Up there,
step right towards that picture, line drive base hit. I
mean he must have said it five hundred times. When
I was watching hey man muscle every he I loved
it though, we have my whole family.
Speaker 2 (45:16):
There was twenty one.
Speaker 1 (45:16):
And then I hear muff yelling at one point, come on, now,
get him out right here.
Speaker 3 (45:22):
We get out right here. We're getting out in right here.
Speaker 1 (45:26):
Plays at one play or first or second, verst or second,
because it was first and third. Then the runner steal second.
She's like, all right, gotta get him at first, gotta
him at first. We get him out right here in
the gody. We get him right here in the godi.
I'm like, all right, right, And it was four to a.
Boomer came up to bat at one point struck out.
He kind of hit the bat end of the dirt
(45:48):
out of frustration. Totally understand. And then I had to
leave and next thing I know, it was like ten
to three.
Speaker 2 (45:55):
Yeah, wheels fell off. Yeah. It was actually more of
an important game than I even realized myself. I mean,
it was the state championship. They got freaking rings for
being finalists.
Speaker 3 (46:04):
Yeah, I saw the ring.
Speaker 1 (46:06):
But it was funny to log in not be able
to tell what team was what, and the wind was howling,
I mean, the dust was just blowing up there. Sometimes
the umpire would step out because he wanted he wanted
the fielder to be able to see because second base
was covered in dust. But I mean, your dad behind
the camera, all right, keep your head down, step straight
(46:29):
towards that picture. Don't give an inch line drive base hit.
Speaker 2 (46:33):
Did the game before they were going nuts. The audio
was hilarious because my dad was giving play by play.
The play by play nobody asked for. My dad was
giving it, but it actually was adding color because you
couldn't see more than the infield, right, So he was
actually telling a lot. But I was I gonna say, oh,
there was a rain to they have thirty minutes then
they came back. Would gave me time to run errands.
But sadly they came up short. But thank you for
(46:54):
the support. They had over hundreds of hundred views in
the town. I believe there's two hundred people in it.
So that the fact that there were that many people watching,
that is the sore losers nation. Thank you. Yeah, we
take a knee, Thank you guys. Arnold get off your knee. Sorry,
(47:15):
all right?
Speaker 3 (47:15):
Is that it?
Speaker 2 (47:16):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (47:16):
You're ready to go?
Speaker 2 (47:17):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (47:18):
I mean I was gonna talk about Kawhi, but he
ain't playing anymore. I don't understand that guy. Do you
think other people hate him? Do you think other players
in the NBA hate Kawhi Leonard?
Speaker 2 (47:29):
Well, you got your championship out of him.
Speaker 1 (47:32):
I got a championship out of him. Toronto got a
championship out of him. I thought he could have been
one of the greater players of all time. And I
don't know what is wrong with that dude.
Speaker 2 (47:43):
You're talking about the comments when he says, what.
Speaker 4 (47:46):
Did he say?
Speaker 1 (47:50):
Yeah, I got I'm here, I'm having a good time.
I just don't understand him. Like he goes to training camp,
he's all excited, he's working out, saying, and then he
just stops quits. He never plays a lot of games.
I don't know what he is a mental head case.
As bad as it ended with the Spurs, I am
(48:10):
so glad we didn't keep that dude because he is
all over the map. I don't understand. I don't understand
how he just quit Team USA like that.
Speaker 2 (48:18):
It's our country, ray No.
Speaker 1 (48:20):
I just don't get it, Like do other players be like, man, dude,
you've been practice with us for like a week, Like
what the hell you doing?
Speaker 3 (48:25):
Just quitting?
Speaker 1 (48:26):
Like f you, who's gonna take his place? Bronni probably,
but he earned that spot, man. His father said he
earned that spot.
Speaker 2 (48:34):
Father says he doesn't can care quote unquote Bronnie's Bronnie's
dad said, Bronnie doesn't know. Bronnie's dad doesn't give up.
Quote other people think.
Speaker 1 (48:44):
No, and I mean he you know how hard it
is for him one year ago to come back from
heart surgery.
Speaker 3 (48:50):
And to be in the NBA.
Speaker 1 (48:52):
That tells you he's good man, that that takes a
lot of hard work. Well no, no, no, he didn't
have to. He didn't have to do anything. He got
your dad got him drafted. He the only reason he
was drafted because of you, Lebron. The only reason he's
in the NBA, Lebron, is because he's your son. So
don't act like, oh yeah, yes, he worked hard to
be a pretty good basketball player. But the only reason
(49:13):
he's in the NBA is because of you.
Speaker 2 (49:15):
You just stated what everybody knows. The cool things about
Lebron are when they post where Lebron was at John
Cena's WCW video and him on his flip phone in
high school. And now John Cena retired and Lebron's still
playing basketball.
Speaker 3 (49:27):
That's cool.
Speaker 2 (49:28):
That was a cool picture.
Speaker 3 (49:29):
Didn't see that one?
Speaker 2 (49:30):
That stuff makes me like John Lebron.
Speaker 1 (49:33):
I don't hate Lebron, but the guy you like even
better than Kawhi. He's on the TV ladies and gentlemen
other than Chris Paul.
Speaker 3 (49:42):
Let me tell you your new.
Speaker 1 (49:44):
Victory capital, san Antonio, spur Bud. Hey, you want to
hear from Chris Paul? Did you want to hear from
Chris Ball? This is what he posts on the Spurts Instagram.
I don't even know the Spurs Instagram or his Hey,
what's up?
Speaker 3 (49:56):
Spurs fan?
Speaker 1 (49:57):
Just want you guys to know how excited I am
to get to say it Antonio.
Speaker 3 (50:00):
I would have never thought of a million years that
I get an opportunity to play for Pop. But I'm
so excited, excited about this young and talented team. Cannot
wait to get there and get to work and see
what we got a chance to do. All right, I
hope you guys will go Spurs Peace wrong.
Speaker 1 (50:15):
Oh my god, Peace, I don't want I hate him,
I hate him. Him and Kawhi should be together. Kawhi,
I'll quit, Paul get hurt. It'll be the perfect thing,
and the Clippers are gonna suck. Man, they're dead.
Speaker 2 (50:27):
Well are the Spurs to be good this year? Or
is it? No?
Speaker 3 (50:30):
Look next year? This year, next year? All right? Yeah, Kawhi,
you are a weird dude. I don't know what is
wrong with you.
Speaker 1 (50:37):
You are a weird dude. So I used to defend you.
Now you're as an idiot.
Speaker 3 (50:41):
So all right, he is Chris Paul. He don't have
a ring. Huh. He said he'd rather play than chase
a ring.
Speaker 2 (50:48):
Yeah. Our local affiliate kJ ninety seven said, uh, go yourself, lunchbox,
stop talking about our guy like that.
Speaker 3 (50:55):
You're right, I.
Speaker 2 (50:56):
Tag him every day in Twitter. We're ripping their city.
Speaker 3 (51:00):
No, not just ripping Chris Paul met all right, I
gotta go, man, I'm hungry.
Speaker 2 (51:05):
I like to put it on X. I'm like, you
guys are gonna love this clip. It's at the end.
Speaker 1 (51:09):
Man, I can hate that guy like they're so excited
he's there.
Speaker 2 (51:16):
Heard line news he only took a week off of vacation.
Where were you a herd Charleston or Chicago?
Speaker 3 (51:27):
No, I'm not gonna make that joke.
Speaker 2 (51:28):

all go to Lofy Coast.
Speaker 3 (51:32):

Speaker 2 (51:33):

Speaker 5 (51:36):
You know, so not everybody goes two hours from where
you live. I'm like, wait, man, you win two hours north.
I went two hours east. We could have drove there
in about six hours.
Speaker 1 (51:47):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, we we really do get out there
and explore, don't we. Hey, hey, let's go to the
city that I've gone to plenty of times as a
kid growing up, and I've gone a few times as
an adult. Let's take it an adventurous vacation to Chicago,
where you've gone millions of time.
Speaker 2 (52:01):
Our flight was forty five minutes. Dude. They didn't even
serve as drinks. It was so quick. This is your captain.
Just because it's a forty five minute flight, we are
not gonna do the drink cart. I repeat, sorry, touchdown,
land up, gear out. It's too quick. We're not gonna
do the drink cart. Five minutes later. Yeah, I'm sorry.
If you guys get your credit cards out, we are
not gonna do the drink cart. Okay, buddy, I was
still trying to take a nap. Man. I'm not an alcoholic.
(52:22):
I'm not like scratching myself, even though I did kind
of want a vod casta.
Speaker 1 (52:26):
Oh my kids, Oh Dad, dat, I'm gonna they would
get the menu. I'm gonna order this, I'm gonna order that.
I'm gonna order apple juice. Let me check the price,
all right, yeah, apple juice free, and they come over there,
gonna come.
Speaker 2 (52:37):
Uh yeah.
Speaker 1 (52:38):
There's only a fifty five minute flight, and there's some
turbulence in the last ten minutes of the flight, so
that would only give us forty five minutes to serve
beveragues today, and that's not enough time to serve the
whole cabin. So we are not gonna have in flight
service today. Just so you know, Dad, what did he say?
Speaker 2 (52:54):
Are they out of apple?
Speaker 3 (52:55):
Yea, yeah, Dad?
Speaker 1 (52:56):
So when are they gonna come take my order at
well Son? Sorry, they're not, Yeah I did. Or look,
we'll get some apple juice when we get off the plane.
I wanted to order apple juice. Dad, When are they
gonna get No? No, no, Son, like the short the flight
is too short. They're not gonna serve apple juice.
Speaker 2 (53:09):
Son. They're flying a plane twenty thousand feet above the earth.
He didn't address the apple juice situation.
Speaker 3 (53:15):
Yeah, they're not worried about your damn Apple juice Daddy.
Speaker 2 (53:18):
