Speaker 1 (00:00):
Yop. Yeah you're not on. I'm not on. There I am.
It's glad to be back man, or it's good to
be back. I don't know.

Speaker 2 (00:11):
Yeah, there it goes. It's working today. Yeah, you know, dude,
you in the non music and the not having headphones,
it really is throwing this pot off, like why are
you not wearing headphones? Why do you not turn the
music on? Why do you not do anything?

Speaker 1 (00:31):
Everybody's one episode away from just losing it.

Speaker 2 (00:35):
Yeah, I'm just trying to figure out is there a
reason like that you didn't want to do this that
you didn't want the headphones? Is it you don't like
hearing the music? It's just interesting, it's too much in
the weeds. But there is.

Speaker 1 (00:50):
A a very pair of headphones that we used to
always use, and I loved how it almost puts it
straight from your mouth into your ears. These new age
headphones there's a split second delay, and it throws me
the hell off. It's tough for me to complete sentences.
I do run on sentences. I am not able to
properly articulate semi colon's without the headphones. This is how

(01:13):
I talk in real life. I can finish sentences I
understand what you're saying. I'm talking hello man at the
gas station. How are you with the headphones? It's how
are you? You? You? You? Hey?

Speaker 3 (01:25):
My name's Sissons. It throws me the hell off.

Speaker 1 (01:30):
That's weird.

Speaker 2 (01:30):
Why don't you just get a good pair of headphones.

Speaker 1 (01:32):
With that said, these headphones that everybody has, you Steve
me Amy does like some iPhone ones, Eddie no Idea,
Morgan Beats, I believe bones, inter ears, but everybody these
expensive hundred dollars headphones actually blow the headphones from yesteryear
that I can't find anywhere. Were the best ones where
it's immediacy from the mouth to the ears.

Speaker 2 (01:56):
I am feeling great. I love my headphones. There's no delay,
there's no nothing. These are absolutely perfect. And I don't
know what I mean. I literally just walked in the store,
grinding him off the show. I don't do any research.
I just grabbed them. Oh these might be good and
bottom so I don't even know how much these costs.
You could maybe google him. Maybe they don't even make
them anymore because they're really old. They've been around for

(02:17):
at least twelve years. But yeah, it's just really weird.
But let's start the show man, that's Friday.

Speaker 1 (02:23):
I'm just waiting for the Big show to get mad
at me because I'll talk to bones and I only
have one ear on, so I'm waiting for him to
be like, hey, dude, the music is too loud. Sorry dude,
I can barely hear it all. We got what headphone?

Speaker 2 (02:36):
I didn't realize you only had one headphone on. I'm
glad you don't just go headplone lists there you would
be in that wouldn't fly.

Speaker 3 (02:41):
Oh.

Speaker 1 (02:42):
We did a segment the other day. I wanted to
remove him entirely, and he would have killed me.

Speaker 2 (02:46):
You would you would have died. And see, so I'm
not mad at you this Friday. I'm just gonna smile.
I'm just gonna look at you and be like, hey, yay,
good job man.

Speaker 1 (02:55):
But yeah, it's cool.

Speaker 3 (02:56):
We got so much to cover.

Speaker 2 (02:58):
Oh we got so much to cover, man, we got
so much much to cover. Right, Yeah, I love short weeks.

Speaker 3 (03:06):
They're the best.

Speaker 1 (03:07):
They're the best.

Speaker 2 (03:08):
Like, I mean, this, being already Friday is amazing. I guest,
it is an amazing feeling when you wake up and
it's like, wow, today's Friday already.

Speaker 1 (03:15):
Whoooo and you don't appreciate stuff. When you were younger
in college, we had three day weeks in Texas State,
maybe it was four. There was no class on Friday
at Texas State. I know there was.

Speaker 2 (03:28):
You just didn't take them. You took Monday Wednesday classes
and Tuesday Thursday classes.

Speaker 1 (03:32):
There was a year they outlawed them. No one person
had Friday classes. That's just not accurate.

Speaker 2 (03:37):
It is no, it's not you couldn't take one. I
guarantee you that's not accurate. I guarantee it.

Speaker 3 (03:43):
All my cats rise up.

Speaker 2 (03:46):
Because I know that everybody had them Monday, Wednesday, Tuesday
Thursday class schedule. I never had that all my classes,
every one of them, not every one of them. But
there was never a semester where it's like, oh, this
class is offered Monday and Wednesday. Only if I was
doing a Monday Wednesday, it was always offered on Friday.

(04:07):
So I always had Monday, Wednesday Friday. I never had
that four day week they changed.

Speaker 3 (04:11):
I'm telling you, you can ask Billy South Beach.

Speaker 2 (04:13):
So I understand that your friends took certain courses that
were not offered on Friday, but there was no chance
that the whole university was closed on Friday.

Speaker 1 (04:23):
It's just not accurate. Me. My ex in two thousand
and eight, look it up somewhere. There's doubt to be
able to fact check it. Me, my ex girlfriend Billy
and South Beach would sit in my apartment on Friday,
watch the Herd talk about what we're gonna bet for
college football because nobody had class. Classes didn't exist at
Texas State on Friday. That is four people out of

(04:45):
thirty thousand.

Speaker 3 (04:46):
In all different majors.

Speaker 1 (04:48):
It I can't.

Speaker 2 (04:52):
That's there's not possibility that the Texas State decided, you
know what, we'll just try this for one year. We'll
just this out of nowhere. We've been in existence for.

Speaker 1 (05:02):
One hundred years.

Speaker 2 (05:03):
But in two thousand and eight, we're gonna decide, you
know what, there's not gonna be a single class on.

Speaker 1 (05:09):
Friday, and see how it goes.

Speaker 2 (05:12):
And then the very next semester they changed back to
classes on Friday.

Speaker 1 (05:16):
They would not do that. I don't. I graduated then,
so I don't know if it continued. I didn't right now.

Speaker 2 (05:22):
Probably right now there's no one at Texas State going
to school because it's Friday.

Speaker 1 (05:25):
That means there's no classes offered today. So I'm saying
right now, it's probably so out by that little river
right that runs through downtown.

Speaker 3 (05:34):
Never got into that one.

Speaker 1 (05:35):
I wish I would have. Oh you should have. It
was too cold and it was a lot of seaweed
in there.

Speaker 2 (05:40):
Yeah, but it wasn't about the seaweed. And it wasn't
really about the river, right, It was about the things
that were laying around by the river. Like That's what
it was about, right, Like, it wasn't about you getting
in that nang river. Like as much as you want
to say, oh, I wasn't into Like who cares. It's
sort of like Barton Springs. Man, I should have gone
to Barton Springs more when I when I was in

(06:01):
my mid twenties.

Speaker 1 (06:02):
Did they go naked there? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (06:04):
Their top was at least she And that's what I'm saying,
like I should have been more into Barton Springs. I
went a few times, but like after Friday and night
on Sixth Street, I should have got up and on
Saturday afternoon about noon, roommate and I we should have
headed to Barton Springs. But we never did. And I
don't know what our problem was, And I realize it
now like we should have done that.

Speaker 1 (06:26):
That was the place to be.

Speaker 2 (06:27):
Yeah, but that's okay, sort of like you and the river.

Speaker 1 (06:30):
It was too cold.

Speaker 3 (06:31):
Yeah, let's start it.

Speaker 1 (06:32):
Yeah, let's do it. Arnold, any update on him. We'll
try and check in later in the show. I think
that sounds good. That sounds great.

Speaker 3 (06:41):
Man, all right, let's do it live.

Speaker 1 (06:43):
We ah the one two sore losers? What up, everybody?
I am Lunchbox.

Speaker 2 (06:52):
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.

Speaker 1 (06:58):
Y'all had sison. I'm from the north, I cannot hear
the audio. I'm going condomless, and I'm an alpha male.
I live on the west side. Then move to the
north side with Beazer, the country two point two acres,
two point two kids of Vanderbilt. Justin checks on them
in the electrophysiology unit every single day. And she over
to you, coach, Oh, how did I sleep last night?

(07:19):
Thanks for asking? Ray.

Speaker 2 (07:21):
Let me tell you We've got emotion emotional city going
on in my house right now. Because baby Box finished
kindergarten a week ago. Now baby Box two, today is
his big day. Today is pre K graduation. He's gonna
walk that stage and his cap and gown. Amazing, it's
gonna be what a wonderful feeling, a big accomplishment. If

(07:45):
you're able to graduate pre K, the future is limitless.

Speaker 3 (07:49):
Does anybody get held back?

Speaker 1 (07:51):
Yeah? Wow, that's a rough start of it. Now.

Speaker 2 (07:55):
When I say they get held back, it means that
their parents just start them late in kindergarten.

Speaker 1 (07:59):
Yeah, there's no. The school doesn't hold him.

Speaker 3 (08:01):
Back, got it.

Speaker 2 (08:02):
Yeah, And so we've been trying to hype him up
and he's excited, but oh, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (08:09):
They had the spelling be last night, and.

Speaker 2 (08:14):
Last night he was very emotional, upset about things, crying
and I said, Bud, what's wrong. He goes, I'm just
I'm just sad that I'm not going to see my
friends anymore. And I'm like, yeah, are you sad about
leaving with Sarah? No, No, it's more of my friends.
It's more of my friends. And he's had the best,
same best friend since he was about a year old

(08:38):
and his roll dog. Yeah, him and her have been
side by side the whole time. All pictures from when
they were one years old, they'd crawled to each other
in the classrooms and they just all the way up
they have been best friends. And next year when they
go to elementary school, they won't be at the same school.
They are going to separate schools. And he is heartbroken, devastated,

(09:01):
and it ends today.

Speaker 1 (09:03):
Right, we're going private. Nope, we're not going private.

Speaker 3 (09:06):
Is it where you guys live? Is that the what
you say?

Speaker 1 (09:08):
Yeah, that's why the Dods moved. I can't put what
I was saying was in Michigan it is freedom of choice.
You can go to any school you want. Really, in Tennessee,
it's where. It's all determined by geographically where you live.

Speaker 2 (09:20):
Yeah, that's how it is everywhere I've lived, maybe because
in where'd you say Michigan?

Speaker 1 (09:25):
It's it's Maria told me the exact wording. It is
freedom of sexuality, freedom of orientation, freedom of choice. Okay,
And he lives in Boomer lives in Gwynn and goes
to a school thirty minutes away. Oh, because they're better
at sports. Didn't know that.

Speaker 2 (09:41):
Yeah, yeah, you can transfer, like you can try to
lottery into certain schools to portal and three day No, no, dude,
they hit the portal in kindergarten non have you ever
thought about hitting the portal?

Speaker 1 (09:51):
I heard a hunter's lane is looking up.

Speaker 2 (09:54):
I have never seen so many parents stressed out about
what school they're going to get into. You want to
hit the portal to a privy because they wherever they live,
wherever they live, they don't like that school, so they
want to go to one ten minutes away in a
different neighborhood.

Speaker 3 (10:10):
Why do you think the dods be lined it out
of town so.

Speaker 2 (10:14):
They you have to lottery in. You can't just like
apply there, you apply and then you get lottery. I
don't know exactly how they determine it, but everybody's like,
are you freaking out about work? And I'm like, no,
We're just going to school. We're going to like we
with the one we are zoned for. We will be
at that school. Don't worry about it. We're not We're
not doing this lottery crap. We're not trying to stress
out like we're getting into Harvard.

Speaker 1 (10:36):
The Spurs get or the the Mavericks get Cooper Cup
and we get baby Box.

Speaker 3 (10:45):
Gez and true the lottery ball in pre k.

Speaker 2 (10:49):
Dude, it's for real, like one percent. I'm being serious.
Like people were like oh my gosh, this Monday. This
Monday is when we find out this this Monday, I'm
not gonna be able to sleep all weekend. And some
of them get it back and it was like, oh man,
we're number fifty on the wait list. Don't think we're
gonna be able to get in. I'm like, wow, roll
the dice, roll the dice. You don't even get your

(11:10):
top choice. But anyway, so he's very sad last night,
very emotional, crying, upset, lashing out, which is not like
baby Box too. He is the most chill dude. So
he goes to bed. Everything's great, two am, Dad, Dad,

(11:30):

Speaker 1 (11:32):
Well, you're about to get up for the show though, too.

Speaker 2 (11:34):
Well at two am, I'm not about to get up.
I still got two hours of sleep to go. And
I'm like yeah, and I go in there and he
peas and he goes, Dad, I think I'm gonna throw up.

Speaker 1 (11:45):
I think I'm gonna throw up. No. I'm like no, no, no, no, no, no.

Speaker 2 (11:49):
This is your last day of school. Like, you can't
be sick, dude.

Speaker 1 (11:53):
These kids are throwing up more now than the Vandy
Bro's on Broadway last night and I'll hang up and listen.

Speaker 2 (12:01):
So he sits there and I'm like, Bud, do you
need to go poopoo?

Speaker 1 (12:10):
Maybe like you have it Tommy eight, I can try
to go poopoo. Yeah, that's that's a reverse throw up.
And he sits down.

Speaker 3 (12:16):
That's a back door throw up, son, and.

Speaker 2 (12:18):
He has a bunch of gas. He goes, poopoo. We
are good to go. We are good to go. And
I'm like, all right, good get it. Get him back
in bed, get upstairs, go to sleep.

Speaker 1 (12:31):
You know what.

Speaker 3 (12:32):
Dad's gotta go too.

Speaker 2 (12:34):
No, No, three o'clock, three o'clock. I get a that's
about time for the show. Yeah, I know, I got
about an hour left to sleep. And I get a
tap on the shoulder Dad, Dad, I threw up a
little bit in my bed.

Speaker 1 (12:48):
I'm like, what leave it for the maid?

Speaker 2 (12:51):
He goes, I threw up a little bit in the bed.
I was like, all right, do you need to throw
up more? Go in the bathroom. He goes, I don't
need to throw up more. But I threw up a
little bit in my bed. And I go look at
his bed and he's got a little throw up in there.
So I'm all right, here I'll get you a bowl
out of the kitchen, and I put him in the
guest room and put him in that bed, and he
goes asleep, and three point thirty I hear the ding

(13:14):
of the bowl, and I hear run in there, and
he's thrown up a little bit. And then he comes
and goes in our bathroom and he poops again. And
now my wife is debating, what do we do?

Speaker 1 (13:33):
Yeah, and not being the sexist, where was she?

Speaker 2 (13:36):
Uh?

Speaker 1 (13:36):
She she sleeps with air plugs. Ray you massage is
chauvenus page No no, no, no, trust me.

Speaker 2 (13:42):
I mean I'm the one that has to get up
for work, so I am very like, uh, you can't
get up. But she sleeps with ear plugs. She sleeps
with the ear plugs. And I'm asked she sleeps with
all this crap because she thinks it's hard to sleep.

Speaker 3 (13:55):
And what else? The bondage tape?

Speaker 1 (13:58):
No, I take that off before she goes to bed.

Speaker 3 (14:02):
Ray hancuffs too, But that's earlier.

Speaker 2 (14:07):
That's when she's not behaving. So she's having a debate
what does she do today? She's texting me like do
I take him? Do I not take him? Do I
take him? For the morning and then pick him up
before rest time. But I don't want to miss him,
to miss his last outdoor time. So my thing is

(14:28):
is he sick or is he.

Speaker 3 (14:29):
Just nervous game time decision?

Speaker 2 (14:32):
And they're having a popsicle party today and he's like,
I don't want to miss my popsicle party. And I'm like, yeah,
I don't want you to miss your popsicle party either,
but I don't want you to get sick and then
tell them, tell you can't come to graduation tonight. We
got graduation tonight, right.

Speaker 1 (14:48):
If he gets sicked on the playground, that's legendary status.
Those kids are going to remember that, They will remember
on Baby Box two's last day when he puked all
over the freaking playground, and that it could be his
signature moment at the schools when he pukes on his
best friend on the way out. You just never know
how it's gonna shake out. You really hat got to
send him to school. Let the tea and you know what,

(15:08):
my name's Bennett, I ain't in it.

Speaker 3 (15:09):
My name's y'all.

Speaker 1 (15:10):
It's up to y'all teachers.

Speaker 2 (15:12):
I really I kind of agree with you. I want
him to experience. The one last day, like yesterday, when
I went to pick him up and they were having
snack time and they were in the classroom and we're leaving.
He goes, Dak, can we play the Monster game? And
the Monster Game is where I tell him, oh, I'm
hungry and I want a kid sandwich, and I chase
him around the playground and sometimes I do it with
his classmates when they're out there and they all go crazy.

Speaker 1 (15:36):
Monster Game.

Speaker 3 (15:37):
Sure the parents love that.

Speaker 2 (15:39):
Yeah, it's a little weird when the other parents show
up and I'm chasing them around and I'm.

Speaker 1 (15:43):
Not a teacher.

Speaker 3 (15:44):
Hey, you know what mood cares.

Speaker 1 (15:46):
I'm in it not And what did you say? Cancel culture,
you guys, cancel yourself. I'm be not in it. Yep.
My name is Paul. It's up to y'all. There you go.

Speaker 2 (15:54):
And so I was like, yeah, Bud, so we get
you know, baby Box three out of his class.

Speaker 1 (15:58):
My name Sid is that your you know stuff like that.

Speaker 2 (16:01):
That's good, that's really good. And we just had the
playground to ourselves. Yesterday it was us those two and
me playing the Monster game. He was showing me baby Box,
was showing baby Box two was showing me his a
little trick of wrapping the swing all the way up.
And then they have a little box they built out
a little toys. You stand on it, you jump on
the swing, and then it unravels and you get dizzy showing.

Speaker 1 (16:24):
Me all that.

Speaker 2 (16:26):
So it was just a moment yesterday when we had
the playground to ourselves. And then that's what I'm thinking, like, man,
he's got to go to school today so we can
experience the last of everything. We got to clean out
his cubby, we gotta get his blanket, his pillow, everything.

Speaker 1 (16:38):
I mean, this is huge, it's huge.

Speaker 2 (16:39):
I ain't can remember any of it. Probably not, yeah,
probably not gonna remember any of it. But yes, so
graduation tonight. What if he vomits on the stage.

Speaker 1 (16:49):
Man, they're starting him young with these grad parties.

Speaker 2 (16:51):
No, no, they only grad pre k. We don't do
graduation for kindergarten. Like a lot of schools, there is
no kindergarten graduation. And so baby Box did not have
a graduation. He just walked out of school and that
was the end of kindergarten.

Speaker 3 (17:04):
And here's the thing.

Speaker 1 (17:05):
When you get those kids up on the podium, I
believe it's the bleachers, the stands maybe is what we
called it. Let's just call it stands. When you get
him on there, and then I'm sure for graduation you
have that. It's the first time you learn if you
got any pukers in the grade, because that's when I
learned that was his name, Paul, Paul and Paul, and
ain't y'allul Paul. Yeah, well that's when we learned that

(17:29):
Paul was a puker. Oh, everybody's normal in class. But
when you get up on those podium, on those stretch
out bleachers and you're standing in front of people, so
when you realize, people get nervous and queasy, so put
up or show up.

Speaker 2 (17:43):
Well, this one is more of an outdoor stage, and
they stand on one side, they call their name, they
walk cross stage, and they go off.

Speaker 1 (17:49):
That's it.

Speaker 2 (17:49):
There's no standing up there. It's at a brewery. It
lasts the whole graduation ceremony lasts about seven minutes total.

Speaker 1 (17:56):
What one of the parents owns the brewery knowing genius
sell some drinks.

Speaker 2 (18:04):
The parents their kid used to go to this this
preschool and now they're older and they're in school, but
we still use the brewery as our graduation spot.

Speaker 3 (18:15):
All parents are going to get a couple of drinks.

Speaker 1 (18:17):
You're gonna make some money, and guess what, later on,
kids are going to become alcoholics.

Speaker 2 (18:23):
So yeah, man, that's what we're dealing with. That's how
I slept last night. Thanks for asking me. I really
appreciate that. Yeah, we'll take a break.

Speaker 1 (18:28):
We'll be right back. Give it to me.

Speaker 3 (18:34):
How I slept?

Speaker 2 (18:35):
No, give me, I don't. I figure you slept great.

Speaker 3 (18:37):
Slept good.

Speaker 1 (18:38):
I've been doing this new thing where I don't eat dinner,
so I wake up hungry. So you're not mad? Excuse me? Yeah?
See what when you wake up? Are you mad or happy?
I'm just like, oh man, I'm already awake. We're going
to change that attitude with the Sison camp. At Cison Headquarters,
we do a new thing where we don't eat dinner,
so you wake up famished and hungry and ready to
start your day. So, Basers, what do you want for dinner?

(19:01):
I said, you know my new rule, I don't eat dinner.
An hour later, Hey, seriously, though, do you want to
go get some fast food or something? I'm starving? No? No,
My new thing, Baser is I don't eat dinner, and
so guess what she didn't eat either? Last night? I
didn't eat. We woke up starving to death. I had
a yogurt protein shake, just ready to rock the day.
But the sleep, it improves it because you don't got
a bunch of food floating around your body all night.

(19:22):
So I woke up at midnight, I said, ah, wake
up a little bit later, twelve thirty, wake up later one.
I just slept great. I could have woke up at
midnight and felt fine. Huh. And then your shift, you're
three hours later a little do we know you're gonna
have to throw up episode?

Speaker 2 (19:38):
Yeah? And then I was really excited because I saw
my wife bought some honey nut cheerios a box. And
I'm gonna tell you what, honey nut cheerios are delicious, fantastic.

Speaker 1 (19:50):
You read them, well, I'm gonna join in with you. Bro.
I haven't had cereal in ten years.

Speaker 2 (19:54):
Oh well, we don't get it that often for some reason.
But she decided she was at the store. I think
she took baby box with her and he convinced her, hey,
let's get some cereal. So honey nut cheerios, and I'm like, yeah,
and I sit down. I pour a huge bawl all
the way to.

Speaker 1 (20:08):
The rim, all the way to the rim. Rim. Job
right then, job? Then I pour the milk in.

Speaker 3 (20:13):
Honey you get that one.

Speaker 1 (20:14):
Pour the milk in. No, she's still in bed.

Speaker 2 (20:16):
When I'm eating and I start eating, it's regular cheerios,
not even honey nut.

Speaker 3 (20:22):
That's almost pour out worthy.

Speaker 2 (20:25):
It's like, what a waste of time.

Speaker 1 (20:27):
Graham and Grandpa rest in peace, love their souls. That's
what Grahams would try to do to us.

Speaker 3 (20:31):
Brutal. They gotta be honey nut they had.

Speaker 2 (20:33):
If they're not honey nut, then what are we doing?
Like why are we just doing regular cheerios?

Speaker 3 (20:38):
Hey, Grandpa?

Speaker 1 (20:39):
At what point do I start eating non honey cheerios
and grape nuts?

Speaker 3 (20:44):
Good gosh.

Speaker 2 (20:45):
So it was an absolute waste of a breakfast. It
was absolutely a disappointing moment when I thought, oh my gosh,
I'm about to eat some honey nut cheerios, have some
delicious deliciousness in my mouth, and I had just plain
old cheerios, and I was like, well, that was disappointing.

Speaker 1 (21:01):
Ray.

Speaker 3 (21:01):
I was looking for some south in my mouth. Start
the weekend off.

Speaker 2 (21:05):
So Yeah, that's how I started out my day. I mean,
I started out my night bad, started out my morning bad.
But then you tell me you got great news about
Justin's Yeah, I'm excited.

Speaker 1 (21:13):
Thank you. So guys, he's playing Beat the Streak. Listen
to another episode. If you want to learn about the
game quickly. You got to get fifty seven hitters in
a row. You can take a day off, you can
do two at a time. They have to get a hit.
You can pick anybody. You can pick a pitcher, pick
a catcher. Actual pitchers don't hit anymore, but they have
to get one hit. Doesn't matter how they get. It
has to be scored a hit. Justin at fifteen and

(21:35):
he still has the opportunity to use his safety card.
And what we learned is between ten and fifteen you
can actually pick two people and you'll still get safety
at fifteen. So the most advantageous place in this entire
game is at fifteen because you can pick two guys
and if both of them miss, or one of a miss,
you still stay at fifteen. Oh even both miss. Yes, wow,

(21:56):
I did massive research and learn that for Justin. Thank you,
And I'm still way for the text to say thank you. Yeah,
because I did.

Speaker 3 (22:03):
I did. I deep dived.

Speaker 1 (22:05):
He went to a bunch of different players and saw
other guys that picked too and see if they still
had their streak saver by picking two and missing two
at fifteen.

Speaker 3 (22:11):
But that's I digress.

Speaker 1 (22:14):
Justin last night picks a guy for James Wood for
the Nationals. Is it okay? A lefty? He's pretty good.
He's a good, good little kid. And then he got
one one of the oakland A's guys. Well they got smoked. Yeah,
so he should have picked so his James Wood guy
went one for three. AI. We've been doing a little
work with AI. AI said, the smartest player to pick

(22:37):
based on whip walks, hits, per innings pitched, e RA,
stadium factors is James Wood of the Nationals. And he
got a hit.

Speaker 3 (22:47):
So Ao was correct.

Speaker 1 (22:48):
AI smart. Well, Justin decided to do his little algorithms
and he went with an oaklan A who has the
worst offense in baseball. He got three at bats and
got pulled from the game. He went oh for three,
So Justin he loses his golden dildo, his golden condom.
I texted him this morning, I said, you are now
without your golden dildo. You must raw dog all the

(23:09):
way to fifty seven. But he's still at fifteen. But
he did not move from the last podcast. Wow, Bud,
he is holding on for dear life. He's top thousand
in the world right now. That's pretty impressive. And he
tells me he's going with Jose Ramirez. I believe Guardians. Yeah,
who do they play? No idea. But like the addict
that he is, he texts me, I already know my

(23:32):
next hitter, Jose Ramirez.

Speaker 2 (23:33):
I'm like, dude, take a day off, take ten minutes,
Take ten minutes to look and decide who you want.

Speaker 1 (23:40):
Man, No need to make the decision right after you
get beat.

Speaker 2 (23:43):
So root along with Justin Jose Ramirez. We need to
hit today. Let's see what Let's see what time the
Guardians play today.

Speaker 1 (23:51):
I haven't heard anything back from him. Oh, here we go.
I will be at the pool for the next forty
eight hours.

Speaker 2 (24:01):
Oh and then Boomer. You did some research on Boomer
which I thought was quite fascinating.

Speaker 3 (24:07):
Yes, so Boomer finished his season. Guys, he was pitching.

Speaker 1 (24:10):
Oh, they play the Angels today, and so watch along.
And if you two want to do go to MLB
dot com. It's not a promotion or whatever. Just do it.

Speaker 3 (24:18):
We have fun doing it.

Speaker 1 (24:19):
No, we don't. It's not fun.

Speaker 2 (24:21):
It's not fun because it's impossible and it's really freaking hard. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (24:26):
And remember when I told you guys about the thirteen
run game. I see on the Facebook pages they're still
playing it and it is so fun. And you guys
are welcome because I told you about it.

Speaker 2 (24:34):
Now I am playing that game. It's a great But
here's the thing. I had no idea I had the
Miami Marlins, so I didn't even look. I gave up,
and all I need is twelve in thirteen runs.

Speaker 1 (24:46):
That's pretty impressive because it is shocking that they got
a ten and eleven five. That's what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (24:50):
I had no idea the Miami Marlins would keep me
in this contest. Once they told me that I drew
the Miami Marlins because it was random drawlah, I never
even looked back. I had no idea. And someone posted, man,
I still need this for the win. I'm like, am
I still alive? Can you send me the link? And
they posted the link and I need twelve and thirteen
from the Miami Marlins. So I mean, what a day.

Speaker 1 (25:14):
And if you guys want to fall along with that
game at home, it doesn't matter who's running the pool. Literally,
in Google, just type in thirteen run pool and you
can choose the date that it started and it'll show
you who's in the lead. Pretty fun. Have you done that? No,
because that's how you can follow along. You're able to
change the date as long as you know the exact
date I started.

Speaker 2 (25:31):
I don't know the date they started. Why would I
know that?

Speaker 3 (25:33):
Well, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (25:34):
But that's that's how it's then able to tell you
who's gotten what runs. Let me tell you.

Speaker 2 (25:38):
Let me tell you about my organizational skills and when
things start and win things in I don't pay attention
to anything. If I would have had a team that
I knew scored runs, like let's say I had the
Yankees or you know, the Phillies or someone like that,
I would have been dialed in. But when you give
me the Miami Marlins, don't even care.

Speaker 3 (25:55):
So Boomer is playing high school baseball.

Speaker 1 (25:57):
He's a junior. He made first team, which is pretty
outstanding accomplishment as a junior. Mean, he made varsity. Yeah,
he's been on the varsity team, but he made a
first team All conference, got it, so that was pretty cool.
Conferences are district divisions whatever, so we call it a districts,
but I don't know everybody's different. It makes you go
state lines, it makes those sense ABC level A plus

(26:18):
B plot. I have no idea, but I decided to
watch all of his games. They may have this app
called Game Changer, so I'm able to see every pitch
he's thrown the entire year. So I thought a very
interesting and good metric is first pitch strikes.

Speaker 2 (26:32):
Oh that's huge. I mean Greg Maddox was always first
pitch strike. So if you're going to make it in
the league, got to have a first first pitch strike.

Speaker 1 (26:38):
And in the majors, the best are in the seventy
percentile range, the worst in the sixties. But to be
in the majors, you really have to have a sixty
percent rate of about sixty percent, and you can figure
it just go MLB savant. You have to have a
sixty rate of sixty sixty rate of first pitch strikes,
thank you. So Boomer May first, West would fifty three percent,

(27:01):
Kingsford May eighth. They're pitching about once a week sixty
nine percent. Gladstone May thirteenth forty seven percent, Oh Rudyard
May seventeenth, forty five percent, Oh Holton May twenty first,
thirty one percent, Oh Menominee May twenty eight eighty six percent.
Here we go, and that's it. It's a pretty short season.
So overall, one hundred and four batters faced fifty four

(27:25):
first pitch strikes fifty two percent. To get into majors,
you need to get to sixty percent, So we need
to up that a little bit. And maybe he was
just being careful.

Speaker 2 (27:33):
Maybe was their power hitter with runners on, he didn't
want to lay one in there on the first pitch.
You know, scenarios create stats. So, I mean, it's a
very good season. Did they win? Did they make the playoffs?
How did Boomer do?

Speaker 1 (27:44):
Yeah? It all starts tomorrow, so they're going on to
the playoffs tomorrow.

Speaker 2 (27:47):
Oh so we still got more. Yeah, so that was
just it is their ace. Yeah, Boomer's the ace. I
would say, Yeah, holy crap. It just must be a
nice being a lefty.

Speaker 1 (27:59):
Yeah, it must be.

Speaker 3 (28:00):
I mean, of all that.

Speaker 1 (28:01):
Two things, I noticed, dude never threw more than two
or three balls in a row. Pretty impressive the.

Speaker 2 (28:08):
Fact that you went back.

Speaker 1 (28:10):
No, I've been doing it all month. Oh but I
was a little behind caught up this morning. Sorry.

Speaker 2 (28:14):
I thought you did that in one night.

Speaker 1 (28:16):
No. I was like, dude, you need to get a life.
Some of the camera angle because it's just a person
putting their phone on the fences. And sometimes you can't
tell well, no, no, no, I can tell pretty dang good.
Sometimes the camera angle is brutal and it's shaking the
whole time. But you know what, I do my due
diligence and I get in there and I get the
balls and strikes. Other times it is a pimp angle
and I'm like, this is awesome. I wish I could

(28:37):
watch it in person. What do I want to do
next year? I want to retire. I want to get
a gun and I want to gun every one of
his pitches to see how fast he's throwing.

Speaker 2 (28:45):
But next year is senior year.

Speaker 1 (28:47):
Yeah, that's it'll be my last shot of doing it
if he never makes college.

Speaker 2 (28:50):
But you're gonna have to go and watch his senior day, right.

Speaker 1 (28:52):
That's why I want to I want to graduate. I
retire so I can go do that for the whole
month of May.

Speaker 2 (28:58):
Well, I mean you'd have to do the podcast from
remotely right, because I mean I wouldn't be able to
do this by myself. It'd be like, hey, how are
you doing today? Oh, I'm doing good.

Speaker 1 (29:07):
How are you? Oh I'm doing good? How are you?

Speaker 2 (29:09):
I mean, that would be really weird. We'll take a
break and we'll be right back. Ray drama, drama, drama, drama.

Speaker 1 (29:20):
Let me tell you man.

Speaker 2 (29:21):
Wednesday night co ed soccer, it was playoff time, my
team versus another team. If you win, you play a
second game that night. And I look at the schedule
and we're up against a team that didn't win a
game all year. They scored a total of four goals,

(29:42):
give up, gave up fifty two goals, only scored four.
Then I was like, oh my gosh, we're gonna have
two games on Wednesday night. So when I'm kissing the boys,
because it's eight fifteen and then it would have been
nine to fifteen and I'm kissing the boys, I'm leaving,
I'm like, love you boys, Love you boys, Love you boys.

(30:03):
You're right, Dad, You're gonna be home real soon, right,
And I'm like, noh, bud, We're gonna have two games tonight,
two games, and I'd send out the group text, hey,
who's in, who's out?

Speaker 1 (30:13):
In? In in?

Speaker 2 (30:15):
Our goalie hadn't responded, so eleven am Wednesday morning, I
finally texted him individually. I said, hey, are you coming?
He goes, I'm in good?

Speaker 1 (30:23):
All right?

Speaker 3 (30:24):
Are you c U, M, I, N G.

Speaker 1 (30:26):
And then no, that's not what I put. Ah, that's
not what I put. Are you coming?

Speaker 2 (30:31):
And then Nicole says, hey, I got an extra girl
sub that way we have, you know, plenty of girls
on the Oh.

Speaker 1 (30:37):
Nicole the girl at Odie's our friend. She's a bartender,
brunette hair. You got a shelf on her. She has
a shelf, but she doesn't work at Odie's. It's different girl. Yeah,
different girl. Uh.

Speaker 2 (30:50):
And I'm like sweet, So I roll up. James is
there and Nicole's there, and then her friend shows up.
She's like, oh, here's my friend that I told you.
And I was like all right, sweet. I was like
what's your name? And she was like Caroline, My nice
to meet you. I'm like, so what position do you play?
She goes, Oh, I've never played soccer.

Speaker 3 (31:08):
This is the team we're fielding.

Speaker 2 (31:10):
I'm like what, She goes, Yeah, I just I know
Nicole play, so I just thought it'd be fun to
try it.

Speaker 3 (31:15):
Bro, you can get baser to play.

Speaker 1 (31:18):
And I get real quiet, and I kind of like
I'm stretching out.

Speaker 2 (31:23):
She goes, I think I scared him by the tone
of them.

Speaker 1 (31:25):
I don't play soccer. Said no, no, I'm not scared.
I'm not scared. It's cool. It's cool, it's cool. Don't
worry about it.

Speaker 3 (31:31):
Did you say this is playoff time?

Speaker 1 (31:33):
I didn't want to put that pressure on her.

Speaker 2 (31:35):
I was just like, I was like looking at the
cole like I was trying to give Himicole a look
like without giving her a look like, what the hell
are you thinking bringing someone that's never played soccer to
playoff time?

Speaker 1 (31:46):
That makes sense?

Speaker 3 (31:47):
And if they can compete?

Speaker 1 (31:48):
Says something about your league is at a conference or division.

Speaker 2 (31:52):
So then where it's just me and James, our goalie
shows up.

Speaker 1 (31:56):
It's Matt.

Speaker 2 (31:57):
We need one more dude. Jordan's supposed to be there.
Where's Charlie? Then we get a text from Jordan gonna
be there right at game time?

Speaker 1 (32:03):
Running late? All right, Michael, all right, cool man.

Speaker 2 (32:06):
That's cool, Charlie. Anybody heard from Charlie.

Speaker 1 (32:09):
Checked the chocolate factory. No, coach, I'm just trying to
get involved with this team. I don't know anybody about.
Do you have anybody in this building that plays in
your team? No, because I don't know a damn person
from Adam Charlie. I thought I knew Nicole from ODI's.

Speaker 2 (32:25):
No, And so we hit Charlie. We like, hey, Charlie,
are you you parking right now?

Speaker 1 (32:29):
Or what he responds?

Speaker 2 (32:31):
He goes, oh, I guess I didn't tell you, guys,
but I'm not gonna be able to make it.

Speaker 3 (32:38):
I've got Corona.

Speaker 1 (32:39):
Okay, Well there we are.

Speaker 2 (32:40):
Now we're down to no guy subs if when Jordan
shows up, we got three guys for the whole night.

Speaker 1 (32:47):
The goalie plays goalie.

Speaker 2 (32:49):
Jordan shows up about fifteen minutes into the game, and
my strategy for this game is because they've only scored
four goals all year, Ray I said, listen, guys, we
don't even need to run. We should just put a
few in the back of the net and sit back
and relax.

Speaker 3 (33:03):
You better run if you're gonna play the Pacers.

Speaker 2 (33:05):
Boy, it couldn't have been more opposite Ray. They jump
out to a one nothing lead. After scoring four goals
all year, they jump out to a one nothing lead.

Speaker 3 (33:14):
At short net turf.

Speaker 1 (33:16):
Yeah, bro, I could score a goal in that crap.
Here's the problem. I would score on South Beach. He
was a kicker, and that we would play in the apartment.
I never played soccer. I'd score on his ass. That's great.

Speaker 2 (33:26):
He was a kicker. He wasn't a goalie.

Speaker 1 (33:28):
No, he played soccer, but he wasn't a goalie. Maybe
that's how I was able to score on Yeah.

Speaker 2 (33:32):
So then Jordan shows up and what is Jordan wearing?

Speaker 3 (33:36):
Banana thong?

Speaker 1 (33:37):
No crocs?

Speaker 3 (33:39):
He's like flut combs, got all those little giblets on it.

Speaker 2 (33:42):
He says, hey, man, does anybody got cleats? I forgot
my cleats.

Speaker 1 (33:47):
How in the world, as a grown ass adult do
you forget your cleats? Been there?

Speaker 2 (33:55):
You know you are going to a soccer game as
an adult and you forgot your cleats? And so James Lucky,
He's like, hey, I got an extra pair, and he
goes where are they? He goes and puts them on. Well,
the problem is Jordan were size eleven. James is size ten.
So Jordan's feet are crammed up in there, hurting and

(34:15):
he can't run. He's complaining. Then luckily, out of nowhere,
Matt says, hey man, I got an extra pair. If
you want to go get him out of my car.

Speaker 3 (34:23):
I'm home just like you.

Speaker 1 (34:24):
Man.

Speaker 2 (34:24):
So it's one nothing them at the half. They're up
one nothing and this team has scored four goals all year.

Speaker 1 (34:31):
They haven't won a game. We have to win to advance.
So say you guys are Liverpool. What team would you
compare this to for our Premier League fans? Is this
Northwich City? Or nodding to m for us, Yeah, something
like that.

Speaker 2 (34:44):
Okay, farther down way down there? All right, So we
get one goal, it's tied one to one. Then it's
back and forth. I mean we are running, we are exhausted.

Speaker 1 (34:52):
You're not as good as Chelsea no or arsenal right, okay.

Speaker 2 (34:58):
Him there, they're more to like. Okay, we we are
the you're Liverpool. I would say we're the Ravens and
they're more like the Browns, okay, or like the Titans.

Speaker 1 (35:11):
Who are you on the Ravens? You're Derrick Henry?

Speaker 2 (35:13):
Uh No, I'm more Ray the kicker, Dicker, Patrick Queen,
the Tucker. Oh Tucker, No, no, no, I'm not Tucker Man.
I'm not Tucker Man. I don't do the massages. Nope, nope, No,
Tucker's not on my team that I know about. Knowing

(35:34):
on my team is Tucker that I know about? And dude,
this was supposed to be our easy game and we
are dead exhausted, sprinting up and down the field trying
to get a goal. They come down three on one
Goalie blocks it, throws it out to Jordan. Jordan kicks
it off their person, trying to joke him, but it
bounces off their leg.

Speaker 1 (35:54):
He gets a good bounce, he shoots.

Speaker 2 (35:56):
He scores two Noble and after the ball goes in
the net, the reft tweet he scored with two seconds
to go to move us on in the playoff. But
the problem is we gotta play again, and we're playing

(36:17):
a team that didn't have to play. They got a
first round by so they're just sitting pretty. They're not tired.
We're exhausted. No guy subs how many game or daybreak?

Speaker 1 (36:27):
Five minutes?

Speaker 2 (36:29):
Ohhee, five minutes? And I mean the first game was
supposed to be our easy game. We weren't gonna run,
we were gonna just chill.

Speaker 3 (36:39):
That was your game plan.

Speaker 1 (36:40):
Yeah, because they only scored four goals all season. Ray,
our game plan was to be absolutely as lazy as like,
what what game plan is that? No?

Speaker 2 (36:51):
No, literally, that was my game plan because I literally,
all right, that's the wordst game plan I've ever heard
a coach lay out. No, it was a great game
plan because you think you're gonna smoke this team that
is not very good because they've only scored four goals
all year, So you assume you're gonna smack them and

(37:14):
you're not gonna have to worry about hustling, and you're
gonna have so much energy for the second game. Instead,
we're laid out on the side of the road waiting
for the next team, going, oh my god, how are
we gonna play this game?

Speaker 1 (37:27):
Hey?

Speaker 3 (37:27):
Brother, you got a couple bucks and.

Speaker 2 (37:29):
We got no guy subs. Remember we've been playing the
whole I played all fifty minutes.

Speaker 1 (37:33):
But you that's what you wanted back in the day.
You wouldn't play all the time, you complained.

Speaker 2 (37:37):
James played all fifty minutes, and we got another fifty
minute soccer game five minutes after that one.

Speaker 3 (37:44):
That's a lot of running.

Speaker 1 (37:46):
And you just say a lot of running. I really
wish you were into technology and you'd wear a watch
so I can know how many miles. I mean, are
you rocking twenty miles? Doing or not twenty miles? I
don't know if I'm rocking twenty thousand steps.

Speaker 2 (37:57):
Oh, easily twenty thousand, seesh. How many steps are in
a mile?

Speaker 3 (38:01):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (38:02):
But typically a really high energy day twenty thousand, Like
when I did it. I was running with the baby,
running with Boomer back when he was twelve, and he
didn't sit on a couch all day, and I did
twenty thousand after the whole day of running. Yeah, so
I'd say i'd had to look, I'd had to I
could wear it. I mean for your birthday, No, I
have one. It's I'm gonna get you one, dude.

Speaker 2 (38:28):
So we're like, oh my god, I don't know how
we're gonna do this, And we did exactly what we
were supposed to do.

Speaker 1 (38:33):
The first game.

Speaker 2 (38:34):
We spread out, we passed the ball, passed the ball,
didn't try to dribble it, didn't run, We score one goal,
up one nothing.

Speaker 1 (38:43):
Then me just observing. I noticed they're big. Dude, he's huge.

Speaker 2 (38:47):
He likes to use his left foot only, so just
stay on his left foot. Dare him to use his
right foot.

Speaker 1 (38:52):
Won't do it.

Speaker 2 (38:53):
Other guy subs in. I see him make one pass.
He turns his whole body to pass it with his
left foot. Said thanks, I know you're left footed. Don't
have to worry about your right, so just stay on
his right left foot and Darren to kick it with
his right.

Speaker 1 (39:05):
I mean that's yeah, that strategy one on one, wouldn't
do it. We score a second goal, we score a
third goal, we score a fourth goal.

Speaker 2 (39:15):
And then they score one for to one. We win,
and we are absolutely second half, let me tell you
second half, we were doing a lot of kick the
ball out of bounds and let it roll a little
way so we could catch our breath, just to waste
some time because we are so freaking tired. Jordan had
to go out. He was cramping.

Speaker 1 (39:31):
He had to go get stretched out on the sideline.

Speaker 3 (39:33):
So you were a man down.

Speaker 2 (39:35):
Well, a girl came in and the girl that never
played she would come in and it was like we
were playing a band down, you know, because she didn't
know what she was doing.

Speaker 3 (39:41):
Was she decent?

Speaker 1 (39:42):
No?

Speaker 2 (39:43):
No, Ray, she couldn't kick the ball. She went to
kick the ball one time and no, and she fell
flat on her face, literally face playing it into the
ground and the other team stopped to make sure she
was okay. That's how I mean. They had to stop
the play because they were worried.

Speaker 1 (39:56):
She was hurt. That sportsmanship and.

Speaker 2 (39:59):
She would get on the and she'd be on for
like three minutes. I'd look at the other girls in
the Southern beach, are you guys good? Get Blondie off,
Get Blondie off. I was like, I appreciate her coming,
but I'm here to win. Get Blondie out. And it
was amazing.

Speaker 1 (40:11):
I appreciate her alo tank top and shorts athleisure, but
she's not good at soccer. No, no.

Speaker 2 (40:19):
And I after the game, I said, Nicole, what the
hell are you thinking? Like, what are you bringing a
girl that's never played for She goes, I don't know.
She just she said she wanted to play. Mike, Nicole,
you gotta do better.

Speaker 1 (40:30):
I mean, at that point, you guys are just looking
for a warm body. Hey, we were, but we were
moving on.

Speaker 2 (40:34):
We're moving on to next week and the boys will
be there as we have marched all the way to
the championship. Matt, we are in the ship next Wednesday
night at seven to fifteen.

Speaker 1 (40:46):
Are you really yeah? That's CMA Fest. Are you sure
that isn't that softball game? No softball games?

Speaker 2 (40:52):
Monday Stadium is Thursday, Wednesday night, seven fifteen. The boys
will be there. They will be face painted, and we
are going for the ship.

Speaker 3 (41:02):
Is the team favorite it or you guys the.

Speaker 2 (41:05):
Team were playing? They beat us in the regular season. Okay, yeah,
so if that makes.

Speaker 3 (41:09):
You what part of town is that.

Speaker 2 (41:11):
It's on the eastern eastern seaboard. I swing it, dude,
what time seven to fifteen?

Speaker 1 (41:17):
I'm out.

Speaker 3 (41:18):
I could have bet at five.

Speaker 1 (41:19):
Dude, it's right by our old crib.

Speaker 3 (41:21):
I get that.

Speaker 1 (41:22):
I don't know if the gas station might be closed.

Speaker 3 (41:25):
I'll go to Rosie Pepper.

Speaker 1 (41:26):
No, no, our gas station. It has to be because the.

Speaker 3 (41:30):
The I mean, you know, people were shot.

Speaker 2 (41:32):
No, no, the uh the how the apartments across the street,
they're empty, like they're about to be bulldozed.

Speaker 3 (41:39):
Because they're doing tall and skinnies.

Speaker 2 (41:41):
I don't know if they're rebuilding, doing something upgrading them.
I don't know what they're doing. I have to look
at the plans, but they're absolutely empty. Thirty seconds to
tell you this, Yeah, baser. We went to the mall
in Green Hills. And then when she gets me in
the car and she lets me go to a sports
bar at the mall, then she knows she can just
totally play with me.

Speaker 1 (42:00):
And we had agreed to the mall, and she decided
to go to a TJ Max uh painted door, and
we ended up in our old neighborhood. Oh. It took
us to some TJ Max on the exact same street
we used to live on, and I said, go right,
just I can't see this neighborhood anymore. Please go straight. No,

(42:22):
we're not going on Call Hall. No, go right, We're
not going that way to TJ Max. Thank god. She
makes a left, right, left, gets back on Douglass and
out of there. It was terrifying being back in that area.

Speaker 3 (42:35):
I see the.

Speaker 1 (42:35):
YMCA, Margaret Maddock, she goes, who would work out there?

Speaker 2 (42:39):
Me?

Speaker 1 (42:40):
Yeah? Me? I did for an entire year. It was
the worst gym ever. Hey, there was nobody under fifty that.

Speaker 2 (42:46):
Brand new gas station that sells pizzas. I stopped there
after the game stop there, got some drinks because I
was so dang thirsty. On the corner on the corner, Man,
that was built when we were there. It would got
built while we were there. And the homeless are still there? Hey,
hey man, just if you can bless me on the
weekend and way out, bless me man?

Speaker 1 (43:04):
And that that hot I believe it's a pork missile
or do they have They have missiles for sure.

Speaker 3 (43:09):
And nachos on the corner is still there?

Speaker 2 (43:11):
Yeah, how they're just right there on the corner. It's
a good location.

Speaker 1 (43:15):
I can't believe all the businesses to stay in business
that one.

Speaker 2 (43:19):
Yeah, amazing, dude. It was memory Lane, Memory Lane. We'll
take a break. We'll be right back.

Speaker 1 (43:27):
Dude.

Speaker 2 (43:28):
Are the NBA Finals ever gonna start? Like I? I
thought the I thought the Pacers had already wrapped up
the series. I didn't realize they still hadn't They played
last night? They got blowed out. I mean, what are
we doing?

Speaker 3 (43:40):
That's good? We want game six?

Speaker 1 (43:42):
We want games? Do we?

Speaker 2 (43:44):
They're not even fun to wat? I mean, I guess
the first few, but last night was blowed out.

Speaker 1 (43:48):
City.

Speaker 2 (43:48):
At least I get a Saturday night game. I turned
it on and it was they were down by thirty.
I was like, well, no need to watch that.

Speaker 1 (43:55):
Cool.

Speaker 2 (43:55):
It was like the second or third quarter and I
just like kids got to bed and I'm like, all right,
let me see what's going on the game.

Speaker 1 (44:00):
Well, now what am I going to watch.

Speaker 3 (44:03):
With the running gun?

Speaker 1 (44:04):
Three pointer?

Speaker 3 (44:04):
I thought about it.

Speaker 1 (44:05):
The reason has changed the game is teams can now
and if they are hot, if they are cooking. As
a kid, say, you have the potential to blow a
team out by forty, and that has happened several times
in these NBA playoffs. I mean, I mean the thunder.
Oh my game wasn't even close. That's what I was
gonna say.

Speaker 2 (44:22):
They blew them out by like it blowed them out,
blowed out by like forty.

Speaker 1 (44:26):
Again. See, I want a Game seven in Madison Square.
But I just think the Pacers at home on a
Saturday night that that place is can be in toego.

Speaker 2 (44:35):
Now, that would be Game seven at Madison Square Garden.
I would sign up for that.

Speaker 1 (44:40):
Thank you. I would love that. We're sports historians and
you don't want to Game seven at Madison Square Garden.

Speaker 2 (44:46):
I didn't say I don't want one. I'm just saying,
is it really gonna get there?

Speaker 1 (44:50):
Have you ever been in Madison Square Garden? No, I've
been outside of it, so have I. Dude, a block
away and you can feel the aura. I walked right by.

Speaker 3 (45:01):
That's a powerful venue.

Speaker 1 (45:02):
Titan Nissan Stadium, you know you got the you kind
of almost you actually feel like a vagrant when you
walk past it. But Madison Square, the Garden, that's the
home of basketball. That's a powerful venue. Can you imagine
walking to a game, any game? Dude, Madison Square. Baby,

(45:24):
you're not a fan.

Speaker 2 (45:28):
I don't know if I even like it. I mean,
it's fine, it's awesome.

Speaker 3 (45:32):
The fans know how to.

Speaker 1 (45:33):
Cheer, well, they know how to cheer. I understand. The
guy gets a three pointer, the fans start rising to
their feet. Yankee Stadium, Madison Square, they know Rucker Park?
Do they know how to root on a game?

Speaker 2 (45:48):
What the hell does Yankee Stadium have to do with
Rutcker Park.

Speaker 1 (45:50):
They know when to cheer. Oh, this isn't Colorado Rockies.
That's have an avalanche. The Rockies are in the playoffs.
This isn't Sirt Barnum and Bailey Circus plays. They know
when to cheer, they know when to root, they know
when to be funny that the crowds in New York
are barn one the best. And I'll hang up and listen.
So don't say we don't want a game seven. No,

(46:13):
I want a game seven. But they have to get
past it. I literally thought the series.

Speaker 2 (46:16):
Was over and I saw last side they were playing.
I was like, oh, let me turn it on down thirty. Okay,
you can turn that off. Thanks for that. That was entertaining.

Speaker 1 (46:24):
Brunson cooked. Halliburton efficiency wise had the most efficient game
in the history of college and professional basketball. I believe
it was even more efficient than Joekick when he got
thirty twenty twenty and had like some efficiency point total
of fifty. Haliburton was in the forties the other game.
He knew he was gonna fall off, and he did
in a big way. Yeah, he had a horrible game.

Speaker 2 (46:46):
And then I got the terrible news that college football
is looking at a five plus eleven model, five highest
ranked conference champions plus eleven at large. Here we go,
everybody gets in. This is about to get so boring.

Speaker 3 (46:58):
I'm fine, I'm fine.

Speaker 1 (47:00):
I'm balls deep right now in Heisman there is about
a litany of players that I've never heard of. The
only guys I've heard of is arch Manning, Garrett Nussmeyer,
and klub Nick because he's supposed to win the Heisman
like three years ago. Other than that, you know he
went to school right Texas Westlake. Outside of those cast
of characters, I have no idea who these guys are.
Talk about some turnover. Uh, you got Drew alhar broke

(47:24):
his leg one day and now he's in the race
for to win the Heisman.

Speaker 3 (47:27):
You know it's quarterback central.

Speaker 1 (47:30):
You got a guy, you got the guy they always
talked about being seventeen. You got a wide receiver for
Ohio State. You got a wide receiver for Alabama. Those
two guys, the Williams guy, the Williams and Williams. And
then you got saying just saying he's up at Ohio
State new quarterback. Other than that, I don't know who
these kids are. We know it's not gonna be a
defensive player that wins the Heisman. It's never a wide receiver.

Speaker 2 (47:53):
I mean, last year Illinois would have been in the
playoffs in college football. Oh my god, right now, whoa
that screens? Let me watch that I can't freaking wait.

Speaker 1 (48:05):
Guys, I have done some very rudimentary metrics and calculations.
I say, klubnik Clemson has a pretty easy schedule. They
play LSU first game of the year. If there is somebody,
it's Clubnick eight times your money.

Speaker 2 (48:19):
And people, oh, you don't like march madness. In college
football and college basketball are totally different animals. Five guys
on the court is way different than eleven beasts on
a football field. Five on five on a basketball court.
One guy gets hot and you can upset the big dog.
It's that easy football there is. It's not the same animal.

(48:41):
Like the parody in college football is nothing compared to
in college basketball. Basketball is a different animal. We don't
need sixteen because after sixteen we're gonna go to twenty four.
Then we're gonna go to thirty two. Do we really
need that many college football teams in the playoffs? Do
we really think Illinois deserves to be in the playoffs?
Iowa State? Do we really think they need to be
in the playoff? Come on, it is so gross. Nothing

(49:05):
is gonna matter in the regular season.

Speaker 3 (49:08):
Nothing.

Speaker 2 (49:08):
You're gonna have three to four losses and get in
the playoff. This is gonna be so fun.

Speaker 1 (49:13):
Yay, and guys, I don't know if any of you
guys bet anymore. I don't know. It's whitewashed the entire country, frankly,
but if you are thinking about it, there is a
futures bet that is just right for the taking right now.

Speaker 2 (49:26):
Callaway to win Most Improved at Coaches Convention five.

Speaker 1 (49:30):
Justin said, unless somebody dies and comes back from the dead,
Callaway is a lock at minus one thousand to be
comeback Coach of the Year. That's funny.

Speaker 3 (49:45):
He texted me that every day.

Speaker 1 (49:47):
Unless somebody goes it becomes a corpse, is revived in
the er Roub, Callaway is an absolute locke as come
back coach of the Earth the convention.

Speaker 2 (49:59):
That's really that's really funny.

Speaker 1 (50:01):
I mean that unless somebody is pronounced dead about to
be put in the ground and they come back, they
will not win. That's really funny. Oh man, I wanted
to say this. Caitlyn Clark, she's hurt for two weeks, guys,
and her odds keep dropping. She was even money to
win MVP. Now it's plus three hundred. Some places have
it plus five hundred. There's only three girls that can

(50:23):
win it, Asia Wilson, Nofista Collinser and Caitlin Clark. Asia
Wilson won won it last year. There's rarely a repeat winner.
And she's not even having as good a Yearnfisia Collier. Guys,
she's just having a great start.

Speaker 3 (50:35):
That's it.

Speaker 1 (50:36):
Caitlin Clark is your MVP, and you're gonna win four
times your money you got and you don't have to
do it even right now. Save up, wait another couple
of paychecks because she's not gonna be back for another
two weeks.

Speaker 2 (50:45):
But this is the time to bet if you're gonna bet,
because when she comes back, the odds will go down.

Speaker 3 (50:50):
That's what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (50:51):
So in the next two weeks, save up your money,
don't eat, don't don't don't go out and have that
drinks with the boys, the white girls. As I'm saying,
you're gonna go have a fancy Italian dinner or you're
gonna stay at home and have his olies. Let's do that.

Speaker 3 (51:04):
So save your money. Caitlin Clark MVP.

Speaker 1 (51:07):
I have no idea why the betting sides had pushed
it to like five times your money.

Speaker 2 (51:12):
Also got to talk about disappointments. Not only do was
I disappointed with my non honey nut cheerios this morning
Survivor season fifty cast. They hyped it up like it
was gonna be a celebration of the fifty season, the
forty nine seasons of Survivor, and we have like a
few from the beginning of Survivor, and then we have

(51:33):
like fifteen players from the last ten years of Survivor.

Speaker 1 (51:36):
Who is it Richard Hatch better build a wheelchair ramp
on the island.

Speaker 2 (51:40):
He's not on it, but someone Jenna from the first
season is on there or something. But it's like that
they have three people from this past season, season forty eight,
Like that's way too many to have from season forty eight.
I don't understand.

Speaker 1 (51:55):
The shows are notorious for doing that Big Brother that
an All Star in nineteen and Big Brother six, Big
Brother seven, Big Brother eight, Big Brother seven was All Stars.
They had five Big Brother sixers on. They just bring
the people on from the previous year because they're already
in that rotation of doing it. It's easier for the producers.

Speaker 2 (52:12):
I see what you're saying, and I thought the same
thing is that the people that are older like the
earlier seasons. They're older now, so it's harder for them
to get away. They may have jobs, kids, they may
just be older like physically. And these new people, these
are what the people remember. So maybe we wouldn't remember
some of those people. But it's like you said, it
was gonna be a celebration of all time. So bring Boston, Rob, Sandra,

(52:35):
bring bring all these huge names from all the years.
Instead of cramming like fifteen out of the last eight
years down our throat, three people from last season. It
wasn't that good of a season. I mean, it was
a good season, but to have three out of the
twenty four for season fifty out of that one season.

Speaker 1 (52:55):
Well, and imagine that they call as a producer, Hey John, Hey,
yeah you were last season a survivor yet so you
ain't been doing right?

Speaker 3 (53:03):
Okay?

Speaker 1 (53:04):
Well then hey, if your schedule is still cleared out
from last season, you've been doing some press and speaking
appearances where you get like a couple hundred bucks and
now it's probably dwindled.

Speaker 3 (53:12):
Hey you want to do a season again. It's very
easy to.

Speaker 1 (53:15):
Do that that you may be right.

Speaker 2 (53:17):
They're bringing back two winners, a bunch of them have
made the final tribal council. They have Season forty nine
will air in the fall. Two people from that season
are coming.

Speaker 1 (53:26):
Well, and I'm actually gonna give you some info here.
You're gonna find this interesting. Not just the truck drivers,
what about tug butters. Nah, they're tugging along.

Speaker 2 (53:36):
Can I just tell you Box's favorite segments.

Speaker 1 (53:39):
What if everybody that's Batter's box here is when we
talk Survivor, he loves it, batter of the Box. You're
gonna love this insight. I heard from the Big Brother people.
They'll reach out to a ton of people. They get
turned down by a ton of people because it ain't
nobody that is in their cush little job or career
gonna be making more money going on Survivor. So I'll

(54:01):
tell you the stipend ain't that great the food they
can afford groceries. Tons of them turn them down until
Survivor sweetens it. Hey, we'll give you this much more money,
until and then there's I've heard from the Big Brother
people they'll say, hey, well come on, if you bring
this person so you can do that as well. There's
a lot of grimy stuff that goes on behind the scenes,

(54:22):
but it's I know you love your survivor. Maybe it's
not that coveted as it was. Oh it's still coveted.
But I'm telling you that you're seeing the people that
accepted show the list of the people that said, go yourself.
I have a six figure job and I'm begging a supermodel.

Speaker 3 (54:39):
I'm not gonna go eat dirt for a month.

Speaker 1 (54:42):
Good point.

Speaker 3 (54:42):
Ah yeah, my girls face down right now.

Speaker 1 (54:46):
What am I gonna go live with a bunch of
animals for two months?

Speaker 2 (54:49):
Not shower, not brush my teeth, get out of Boston,
rob popping?

Speaker 1 (54:55):
Oh, good point?

Speaker 2 (54:56):
And then I and then this is the first time
they've ever announced the cast before. So are these cast
members now DM and each other? Hey we need to
work together. Hey we need to get together. We need
me and you if we're on the same alliance.

Speaker 1 (55:07):
Yeah, they all do that. Plans change once you get
punched in the face. But Big Brother, all the seasons
usually decided to work together. Season six and Big Brother
they went in Hot to All Stars ended up losing it,
but they were all a team for the longest time.

Speaker 2 (55:24):
I just got an update. Baby Box two is thrown
up twice this morning. Well, sorry, man, his last day. Man,
it's like back when I believe mine was a first
grade I missed the last day of first grade because

(55:46):
I got chicken pox. First day, last day of first grade.
I wasn't at school because that chicken pox.

Speaker 1 (55:55):
Rough man. But there's nothing you can do about it, man,
Justin knewman, hed take you?

do that. Yeah, they come over with some skittles and
some sour patch kids.

Speaker 2 (56:27):
All right, everybody, have a good weekend. I'll let you
know if we make it a graduation.

Speaker 1 (56:32):
This is sad, guys, All eyes on Jose Ramirez tonight
or Justin the great has fallen and he is now
called the Hits Merchant, And he goes, would you please
always call me that? That's a badass nickname.

Speaker 2 (56:47):
Okay, Hits Merchant, you're such an idiot, hey, coachers, The
free throw Merchant there's.

Speaker 1 (56:52):
A deep cut.

Speaker 2 (56:52):
But is there any way you have an audio from
when Ray interviewed Kevin James. No, no, sorry, sorry, Edward dude.

Speaker 3 (56:58):
I tried finding it.

Speaker 1 (56:59):
No, I never saved it, and they deleted a lot
of stuff in our system. We're trying to not get canceled. Yeah, alright, man,
what a weekend? All right? I have a good weekend.
Are you gonna stop it? Basically, I was like budding,
all right, it is Kevin James promoting my movie hey,
and this is me? Hey man? Was I able to
ping from Texas to the aquarium all the.

Speaker 3 (57:21):
Way over to you in the zoo?

Speaker 1 (57:23):
Yeah? I guess. So this is Kevin James talking about
my movie What's up? What do you want? And I
go and I go, what do you want? He goes, well,
you're interviewing me, And I go, hey man, are you
still fat like you were in Kungbu Panthers? He said,
it's confusing you. Which one do you use? The panda?
And then there was a hang up pretty close after that,

(57:46):
hey man, I was watching your new movie look confused
at one point between you and the panda.

Speaker 3 (58:00):
You can't do that anymore that I gotta be canceled.
He hanged up, just piste on.

Speaker 1 (58:07):
That you.

Speaker 3 (58:15):
At what point the interview just stopped?

Speaker 1 (58:17):
And I go, what do you want? And he goes,
you're interviewing me? He thought he'd already got hit over
the head. And I hit him with a fat joke
on the way out, like, dude, that was just such
low hanging through. What was I doing? What do you want?

(58:41):
A great interview tactic? I didn't realize you have to
continue an interview going on.

Speaker 3 (58:49):
You can't just hit him with what do you want?

Speaker 1 (58:51):
What a great interview tactic? Say what do you want?
As they compare him to and then he goes like,
is this serious or all right? Man? You know what?
All right? You man? And hangs up. Then hits me
with one of these he said, is this you being serious?
Oh man?

Speaker 3 (59:11):
We promoted the heck out of that movie, though.

Speaker 2 (59:13):
Oh man, it's still getting run all these years later.
I got tears. I got tears, oh man.

Speaker 1 (59:22):
And then at the end, I go, quote for quote,
I go, at the very end of it, you remember
what I said? I look over at you because you
were in the room, and I go, is that bad?
I just remembered that I in my head I kind
of thought it was good.

Speaker 3 (59:41):
What was I think? You?

Speaker 2 (59:45):
Hey, we just had Kevin James and he was off
for a toll in twenty eight seconds.

Speaker 1 (59:50):
Was that bad? Oh my god? So stupid?

Speaker 3 (59:59):
Bones was so first?

Speaker 1 (01:00:00):
Oh my gosh, on there the last star in my life,
and I think I got banned from the show for
like two months or something.

Speaker 3 (01:00:10):
Good times.

Speaker 2 (01:00:11):
Oh Kevin James, I guarantee you remembers that interview. Check
out that movie, guys, how great would it be if
we got him on a gimme it? Heymember just a
little twenty four year old. It was just beating you
over the head on an interview. No way, there's no
way that has ever happened to him all.

Speaker 1 (01:00:34):
Of his life. No one compared it to the panda.

Speaker 3 (01:00:39):
Dude.

Speaker 1 (01:00:39):
I was cracking one liners at his expense. He's the
movie star. Like, wait a minute, I'm supposed to be
cracking the one line.

Speaker 2 (01:00:50):
Oh man, that's so funny.

Speaker 1 (01:00:53):
Oh my gosh. We gotta go, Yeah, we gotta go.
