Speaker 1 (00:00):
Yeah, we're hit. Oh we're hit man, We're hit. Tell
me what your funny journey? Man, you had a funny journey.

Speaker 2 (00:07):
I don't know if you guys at your offices, if
you just walk around and stuff, just hitch you because
it's just hilarious life.

Speaker 1 (00:14):
I get it. Truck stop, what is there? Just a
couple of lizards, some showers, some you know, like all
you can eat buffets at those truck stops. And then
in the field, what's funny when you're tractoring? Baila, Hey wile,
that's so funny. But guys here at our studios, the

(00:34):
funniest things. I go for a walk and sales now,
because everybody sneaks out of the office. They were tracking
Scooba into the bathroom. They both had one foot into
the bathroom having a conversation. So guys, you are not
safe in the bathrooms. That is the number one observation.
It's funny to me that the salespeople. What I do
find funny is they get here and they are here

(00:58):
for about an hour and have MAX and they're out
to lunch. They are here so much later than us,
and they're out to lunch before we are. Right. It's
amazing to me how that happens. That doesn't add up.
It doesn't add up. But the one time they need
to talk to you, they will go hell or high
water to find you. Scoober, you gotta pee. Sorry, you

(01:20):
can't have thirty seconds to yourself. Just wait outside the bathroom.
You have him cornered. There's no other exit, no need
to have your foot in the door. Funny thing. Number two.
Go ahead.

Speaker 2 (01:30):
In the kitchen. They have this whole spread. There's thirty
bags of chips out there.

Speaker 1 (01:34):
There's doritos, lays, cool ranch, Dorito's what, some other chip flavors.

Speaker 2 (01:41):
I'm the one that the sun waivers one of those things.

Speaker 1 (01:46):
Oh, sunship, shunship. Let me tell you sun chips. Pound
for pound, if you were ranking your chips, sun chips
have to be number one. They're top three. I'm more
of a cool ranch guy. Oh oh oh, I don't
like ranch, so I don't. I mean, I assume they
taste like ranch like.

Speaker 2 (02:04):
That, and there's a strong lime that really just whoo
gives you all your senses. It's kind of like the
booger sugar that's in a chip.

Speaker 1 (02:12):
So your number one is cool ranch. Yeah, okay, What's number.

Speaker 2 (02:16):
Two would have to be those Cheetos that are the
hot ones.

Speaker 1 (02:20):
Flaming hot Cheetos yep. And number three sun Chips, Yeah,
regular or do you like a kind regular? Oh man,
let me tell you if I'm ranking my top three chips.
Sun Chips, Gardens Salsa are the absolute best chip I've
ever had in my mouth.

Speaker 2 (02:40):
So I thought those were the basic flavors. The red ones,
so those ones are my favorite.

Speaker 1 (02:44):
The red ones are the absolute best chip out there.
I don't know how I ever lived without those Sun Chips,
but they are amazing. I can go through a whole
bag without even realizing it. And I'm talking big bag,
just sitting there, grab a couple and you're like, I'm done.
I'll grab a couple more. Next thing you know, the
bag is empty. Number two. I love me some Jlopenno chips.

(03:10):
Vicki's Julapeno chips are delicious. The hard ones. They're the
most erect chip I've ever eaten. Yeah, there used to
be one that I bought and I don't know where
I bought it at, but I haven't seen it in
a while, so maybe they don't carr at the grocery store. Anymore.
So I don't even know the name, but it was
a better julapeno chip. But that is the only one
I can find now. So I love julapeno chips and

(03:34):
my number three I used to love barbecue chips, but
I don't eat barbecue chips anymore. I think my number
three chip man would have to be the regular just
tortilla chip. I love just a salty tortilla chip. That's it.
Then we finally round it out till my point. What

(03:55):
were you talking about the chips being laid out there? Oh? Sorry,
go ahead, now that our mouse or watering. You want
to go get one? I would like some sunshite. Not
so fast. Oh there's a huge, not a huge.

Speaker 2 (04:07):
You can't see it until you go up and you're
about to grab a bag, says please do not touch
any of these.

Speaker 1 (04:13):
Why are they laid out on the table. It's like
giving a bird bird food and saying, don't have this,
giving a bamba dollar and saying, don't spend it on drugs,
given an alcoholic a bottle and saying, hey, man, don't
take a sip. Yeah, just deliver that to your neighbor.
It's not for you. That's tough man. And then are

(04:34):
you ready for my finally, my third funny thing. Yeah. Well,
one thing about that is before we move to this building.
You know what I heard about all the time. I
heard about how they had cater lunches two to three
times a week. Hmmmm. They had snacks a plenty in
the break room for you to take whatever you want.

(04:54):
They want you to be fed, and they want you
to be in a good spirits. They said they would
fill up the count and you could do is come
and go. Yes, right, it came, and you'll win. There's
no vending machines because it was free food for everyone.
We moved here four or five, six, seven, eight months
ago to this building. There has not been a single

(05:15):
catered lunch in the eight months that we have worked here.

Speaker 3 (05:19):
Not one.

Speaker 1 (05:20):
Please explain to me how when we're in the other
building they post pictures of all the catered lunches and
how awesome it is, and how it's such a family environment,
and oh, we want everybody to eat lunch together, so
we bring food into the building so everyone will get
to know each other. We moved to the building eight
months later and there hadn't been a damn thing to

(05:40):
eat in this building. I don't understand it.

Speaker 2 (05:44):
There was Jason's Deli, there was a couple pastries. Does
that count as catered?

Speaker 1 (05:49):
No, I'm talking lunch three times a week from different restaurants.
Then I second that what you're saying, is it because
now that there's on air staff in this building that
there's too many people they don't want to do the catering.
Is it be that we had a shakeup in upper
management and the new management does not want to do

(06:09):
catered lunches. I don't know.

Speaker 2 (06:12):
Yeah, at what point is it a good business model
to buy food for all the employees every day?

Speaker 1 (06:19):
I'm not sure they bought the food. Oh it was deals, Yeah.
I think it was like, oh, we have a client.
You know, here's my client.

Speaker 3 (06:26):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (06:26):
You know Missy's tacos and Missy's Tacos would bring us tacos.
I bet those would bomb. Dude. Yeah, missus tacos are
really good.

Speaker 3 (06:33):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (06:34):
And I'm talking about the ones like that you serve
for lunch guys. Uh. But yes, I don't. We don't
have that anymore. And I just don't know if the
salespeople don't want to do it, the upper management doesn't
want to do it, but it's been highly disappointing. To
your next point.

Speaker 2 (06:46):
The third funny thing, and this was all in a
minute stretch. Here in this building, it's a circus.

Speaker 1 (06:51):
I'll tell you.

Speaker 2 (06:52):
There's two people out here, not from Sometimes we have
it's kind of a WE workspace, so we'll have other
companies that are partners and they're allowed to use our
conference rooms.

Speaker 1 (07:02):
Am I correct in saying that, Yeah, which is very
odd and strange because I walk by them and I
look at them, and they look at me, and as
many times as we go to the bathroom every morning,
they're probably like do these people ever work? And then
I'm like, is it weird for them to just be
in a random office, Like I don't even know if
they're based here in this city, but they're just chilling
over there.

Speaker 2 (07:21):
Well, even more random, there was two people sitting with
the skyline right behind them, which I'm sure generates great ideas.
They're in these two chairs that are facing each other,
and they're ten feet from the Bobby Bone show and
I had no idea they were there, and you were
walking I go, hey, launch, go drain your lizard.

Speaker 1 (07:40):
Then let's do the pody and they were right there
and heard two grown men talk like dirty construction workers
to each other. I had no idea they were forming
a fortune five hundred company right there. There was a
guy on the phone. There was a guy on the

(08:02):
phone looking out the window. And I walk out of
the studio and I see Security Tim sitting there, and
what does Security Tim like to do? Sit on the
couch and what tic tac? And I walk out of
the studio and the first thing I say, Hey, man,
what's on your dick talk today? And then I look
up and I'm like, oh, who's that guy? And he's

(08:23):
just standing there on the phone, look it out the windows.
And he didn't bat an eye, he didn't turn around,
he didn't acknowledge me. But I was just like, oh,
maybe I shouldn't call it dick talk in front of
this guy. But why are they over in our space?

Speaker 2 (08:36):
Two people that the way they are dressed have formed
some sort of companies and are a man and a woman,
very powerful people. And I go, hey, launch, go drain
your pipe. I'll see you in about.

Speaker 1 (08:47):
Five They are in suits, they're all dressed up, and
I mean I'm in a hoodie. I mean, it's like,
what are we doing here? I'm in a T shirt.
Abby's just wearing like comfy clothes and you come out
in the Challenge at for years old. They're like the Challenge?

(09:08):
What is that? Is that MTV? And I'm like yeah,
They're like, oh, we watched that when we were starting
our business in our apartment. Now we own a multi
billion dollar company. What do you do. I'm gonna go
drain my lizard, like a Sissons said, and then I'm
gonna go do a pod called the sore Losers like
don't talk to me ever again. And now their fate.

Speaker 2 (09:26):
Their fake chairs are facing each other, and all I
heard overheard was do you think that's an advantageous business decision?

Speaker 1 (09:33):
And then the lady was saying like, yes, yes, I
feel like we have the groundwork to create something. And
this is a meeting of the mines ten feet from
the Bobby Bone Shows studio where Bones just chugged a
can of carbonated water and where we'd like to go
out on the balcony and throw peanuts over and try
to hit cars as they drive by on the street
below to see if we can hear a ding. And

(09:55):
these people, you would think they would go in a
private room to discuss like do you think that? But
they're gonn talk about it on our couches that are
there for us when we come out of the studio
and it's just weird and they didn't really want to
talk to us. We didn't talk to them. It was
kind of like, Oh, you guys don't know what business is.
We know what business is. Oh, we're gonna go back
to this conference room. And how do we advertise that?

(10:15):
Like do we put it up on like a website, Like, hey,
we have a conference room that you can rent out.
It's just a buye.

Speaker 2 (10:21):
I don't know, it's just part of a deal. This
is a different version of a deal than they.

Speaker 1 (10:26):
Used to do back in the day because we have
multiple conference rooms and they're both filled up with people
and it's two different businesses. And I'm like, that's just random, dude.

Speaker 2 (10:35):
It's like freaking Kevin Durant. They said Houston was the
lowest buyer. The price for Kevin Durant was so low.
Houston said, I guess we'll take him and got him
for pennies.

Speaker 1 (10:44):
Pennies on the dollar. But he's old, now, man, what
is he thirty five? Who cares. At thirty five, I
didn't have much lefteck. I'm forty three now? How am I? Now?
Am I forty three? What year is this? Twenty five? Yeah,
I'm forty three, So I'll be forty four this year.
Like in a few weeks, I'll be forty four. I mean,
I don't know if there's much left in the tank.

(11:06):
I don't know if you'd get five second round picture
of me. It's just a weird thing.

Speaker 2 (11:09):
And that same chair that the gentleman is sitting in
talking about the future of Broadway Nashville and how they
can create an enterprise Amy sometimes from.

Speaker 1 (11:18):
The big show.

Speaker 2 (11:19):
Well, she believes in wherever she's at she needs to
exercise or stretch. It should never be a moment where
you're not accomplishing something. Yeah, dude, that same chair she'll
put her leg on and do the splits and grind
her crotch on it to try and create some what
she's done it with me before when I'm talking to her,
and she'll put one leg up, spread eagle on that

(11:40):
chair and just rock back and forth. The same chair
that man's having.

Speaker 1 (11:44):
A powerful heart to heart with that other fortune five
hundred owner. I also think these people from other business
think we are a little bit loony. Because he was
standing in the corner like where the two glass panels meet,
looking out over the city. He could see the Grand
High in the construction right by the Grand Hyatt, and
he's on his cell phone. And if you look out

(12:05):
on the balcony, your girl from Amy Brown feeling things.
Take this no feeling things right, feeling things. I thought
it was feeling yourself, feeling yourself with Amy Brown and
Cat something, her pet cat Amy is out there and
she has her arms spread out, her chest is pointed

(12:25):
to the sky, She's arching her back, her nose is
pointing straight up at the sun. She has her eyes closed.
It looks like she's about to do a swan dive
off the building, okay, And she's just out there. And
this dude from whatever business he's from, is seeing this
woman stand out there in the glaring sun with the

(12:46):
arms spread out, chest pointed to the sky, arch back,
raise them, mountains up, nose to the sky, and then
she releases, and then she does it again and holds
it for ten seconds and releases and he's like, what
is going on? I stick my head out there and
said Amy, What the hell are you doing? She goes,

(13:10):
I'm just soaking in the sun. My god. We are weird. Yeah,
it is going on around here. Not to those construction
workers down below. Man, they were fully erect and we're
talking about the crane. We're talking about their crank. All right,
we better start the show. I thought we did. No,

(13:32):
I don't think we did. I don't think we did
the intro. All right, Well, we're gonna do it live.
We are the one two so losers. What up, everybody?
I am lunchbox. 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 2 (13:53):
Y'all had sizzened from the North Alpha Male. I live
on the north side of Nashville. Now ironically enough with
baser from the North. Now live on the north. Weat
the North Toronto Raptors, but we live in the country.
Two point two acres. It is corn sison.

Speaker 1 (14:06):
They have not shucked it yet, but it is nine
ten feet tall.

Speaker 2 (14:10):
Get to your walmarts, get to publics. It is going
to be a harvest. Unlike any other We won't sell.
We won't sell. We're all about the intel coach over
to you. Two point two kids at Vandy justin electrophysiology
unit check on them for us today.

Speaker 1 (14:24):
Would you got a question? Do you think if I
asked the produce person, hey, did you get this over
from raised by Ray's house? The corn? Would they know
where it comes from? If it's local? They say it's
farm to table. Because my wife brought home some corn
the other day. We and we definitely had us some
corn on the cob. And while I was eating this,

(14:45):
I was like, hey, guys, you know this by Uncle
Ray's house. This corn came from Uncle Ray's house. Really
he grew this corn. I'm like, no, no, no, But he
drives by it and on the pod he gives us
a report about the corn. So this corn was grown
right down the street from his house. Dada, dada, Can
we go see it one day? No, guys, I'm just joking.

(15:07):
I don't know where the corn is run. But I
just want you to know that we are eating corn
and it grows in a field, and I'll point it
out when we drive by it. We're not gonna go
to Ray's house just to see the corn. It is
something to see, because all they see is the what
do they call it? Concrete jungle out there? It is
cornfield after cornfield. And what they're doing right now is
you guys are gonna be wrong. You're gonna come after me.

(15:28):
It costs me because the straw and hay, but it's
hey sisson. All the guys are rolling the hay into bales. Now.

Speaker 2 (15:36):
Oh yeah, so those are I guess the fields that
weren't used for corn. So it's either corn or straw
seism and then later in the year is bean sison.
That's all I know so far.

Speaker 1 (15:46):
I do see some people throw some straw in their
yard because it's supposed to help you grow grass. Yes,
we did, and I called it hey, and I believe
it's called straw. Now my question is, once it grows,
is the straw and hay still down there? So when
you mow it, are you running over straw and Hey
it just kind of goes away, just disappears. Huh yeah,
because I always wondered that, like, once you mow, like,

(16:08):
aren't you just mowing like? It can't just go away.
It's biodegradable. I never just raked it up, God knows,
I didn't rake two acres of hey and how long
does it take the hay or straw or whatever the
hell you call it to disappear? Like, does it take
two years for it to like finally just be all
grass or is it quick? I mean it's gone within

(16:30):
a year. That's crazy. Yeah, speaking of gone, we're gonna
take a break. We'll be right back. I need a
new lifestyle, right, alternate lifestyle. Yeah, well no, no, I'm gonna
tell you what happened. I forgot all about this. Alternate
lifestyle is gay. Oh I don't need an alternate lifestyle.

Speaker 2 (16:49):
Because alternate lifestyle. I have many friends BJ David and
I appreciate it.

Speaker 1 (16:56):
Alternate lifestyle. Are they still together?

Speaker 2 (17:00):
I've not spoke Basers talk to him, but have not
hung with them in a good amount of time.

Speaker 1 (17:04):
A couple of months. They planned that not to get
into weeds. They plan this tropical birthday party.

Speaker 2 (17:08):
I can't do a Monday through Friday in Cabo for
a guy's birthday. We don't determine our schedule or our vacations,
and I think he was kind of offended that we
didn't come. But Bjay, if you are listening, this is
my message to you. We don't pick our vacations. Your
birthday fell when we didn't have a vacation. I would
have loved Cabo San Lucas. I'm sorry, my apologies, Hope.
The nineteen forty two Don Julio was great.

Speaker 1 (17:31):
I'm with you, dude. Garrett and his wife Ryan and
a few other people, they always like to go to Mexico.
I think it's in October and they go a Monday
to Monday to Thursday. Can't do it. They're like, dude,
you should. Every year they're like, hey, you're gonna come
this year, you should come with And they start naming
people with Robert and Michelle, it's me and you know

(17:52):
it's Ryan, And I'm like, guys, I told you I
can't do a random October Monday through Thursday. That just
does not fly. All right, man, you're really missing out.
It's a tradition. We do it every year. And I'm like,
I know, I see the pictures of you guys on
the beach at these places. I don't even know where
it is, Like, you tell me, oh, I went to
this place, we went to this place. We're gonna try

(18:12):
this place this year. I understand that if you guys
wanted to do that in the summer maybe I could
try to come with you guys. Well, yeah, yeah, but
the summer's too hot. It's like perfect down in Mexico
in October, it's you know, it's still like eighty five ninety,
but it's not scorching hot like it is in the summer.
It is great loss, but I can't do that lifestyle.
You guys have an alternate lifestyle. So anyway, a few weeks,

(18:35):
few weeks back, maybe it's a month ago, two months,
I don't know, the kids at a baseball game and
we get done with the coach bitch game, you know,
the San Diego Padres, and we're hanging out and we're
about to leave. I'm like, all right, let's get in
the car, and Baby Box two is like, Dad, I
want to walk home. I'm like, what, it's like a
mile and a half to the baseball field. Like yeah,

(18:57):
we want to walk home, all right? So then all
three kids want to walk home. So guess who gets
to walk home with them? Mom? No, Dad, She's like,
I guess I'll drive. I'm all right, let's walk. So
we're walking and we get about halfway there and there's
a gas station. The kids are I'm hot, I'm tired.
I need some water walking them on the interstate. So

(19:17):
we walk into the gas station and we get bottles
of water, and I was like, you know what, we're here,
might as well get some popsicles. So we get some
popsicles and we go outside. And this is the lifestyle
that I'm talking about. Kid. Anytime you're with a nice,
lovely young man is better, no better during the summer
than it gets uping to suck on a popnickle. There

(19:39):
are six old men sitting in rocking chairs at a
gas station and one younger gentleman that is about my age.
And these guys were all probably seventy five or older,
and then one guy probably in his late thirties early forties,
and they're just sitting in a circle. That's us in
five years, bucko, when are you gonna be sitting at

(20:02):
a gas station? I don't know, but it would be awesome.
The feeling of their life was like they have nothing
to do. They literally have all the time in the world,
and they are sitting there just talking about life. And
then we're sitting over there licking ice creams and the popsicles,
and one of them looks at me and goes so
what do you do with your spare time? I don't

(20:25):
get it well because I'm always busy with the kids.
Like he's basically saying you don't have any spare time.
Oh I thought he was saying you were to stay
at home.

Speaker 3 (20:33):
No.

Speaker 1 (20:33):
And then I hear them talking about some golf course
they played, and man, all that was. Was it as
hard as it looked online? Oh? Man, it was. It
gave me a run for my money. And I'm like,
so you guys just sit around here and talk about
your rounds of golf. And then I hear him go,
Charlie go, oh man, I better get home. Man, it's
a we've been here two and a half hours. Souon's

(20:54):
gonna be worried about being there, all right, Charlie. We'll
see tomorrow, man, we'll see it. And my thought is
they're gonna meat back up at the gas station tomorrow. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (21:03):
I think it's a Tennessee thing. These gas stations are
flooded with elderly gentlemen. They just hang out.

Speaker 1 (21:09):
They put park benches either in front of them, that's
exactly inside of the gas station. This one, by mean's
got four park benches. If I wanted on a Saturday
at six am to go get a breakfast sandwich. They're
damn good, not gonna give you the location.

Speaker 2 (21:22):
Brother knows it if you need it, and I will
go there and I will get me a powerade to
battle the hangover and a breakfast sandwich. And there's seven
guys sitting at these park tables in the middle of
the gas station watching the news, reading the paper.

Speaker 1 (21:35):
Dude, one of the guys had the newspaper. He had
the newspaper and he was like looking through it as
he's talking to his buddies. And when he was done
with it, he folded it up nice and neat left
it right there on the bench. And then the lady
in the gas station came out and goes, oh, do
you guys want all the leftover breakfast sandwiches? Game to me?
And my kids really just gave him to ashes like, oh,

(21:56):
we're not gonna you know, we're done. We're gonna serve
lunch now, so you can have them if you want them.
I was like, absolutely, we'll take them, Frank, what's your
body count at? And it was just so crazy, and
then they, you know, one by one they slowly got
up and left, like you know what, you know. Charlie
left first, like all right, Charlie will see tomorrow. Charlie,
see you tomorrow, eh, and then another guy. They sit
around for about fifteen more minutes. His phone rings. He's like,

(22:19):
all right, I'll start heading home. And he goes like,
I gotta go, guys, I'm on this app called Tender.
I'm gonna go bag me your grandma. But they sat there,
They had been there for two and a half hours,
just sitting in front of a gas station. Yeah, old
dogs die hard. Women deal with old age differently. Men

(22:39):
we're all about community. Well, women are about community too.

Speaker 2 (22:42):
We're all about gossiping in sports and that sometimes you
just can't recreate that construction feeling of with your boys
of ten guys shooting the ass, talking about your body count,
how many beers did you have over the weekend, And
you can do that at a gas station in park tables.

Speaker 1 (22:58):
Then it got me thinking, how did the younger guy
become part of the group. How did he get in
with the older gentleman? Because there was I'm telling you,
six guys probably seventy five and older and one guy
that was thirty five to forty. How does he become part.

Speaker 2 (23:12):
Of that group up by me. It's all families, so
he got to be related somehow. But it could just
be a job site. I mean, Gary, my five Phil
he worked. They have younger guys working with them, so
they could all just be at the gas station.

Speaker 1 (23:27):
Just be a younger guys. Right. These guys were like
retired gentlemen. They're not sitting there from a job site.
They are in like just shorts and a T shirt,
like they are hanging out. They didn't come up from work.
It's a Saturday morning. They've been there for two and
a half hours. The young guy to me, I'm like,
are one of these his dad? And he comes to
the gas station to hang out with his dad and

(23:48):
his dad's friends.

Speaker 2 (23:50):
Do you want me to go on a Saturday at
six am, sit down and ask how everybody knows each other?

Speaker 1 (23:54):
I would kind of like to know because they have
nothing to do. And then we had to continue the
journey home and about halfway after that, I'm tired. My
legs are tired. Well, you were the ones that wanted
to walk home. Did you say how far it is?
Mile and a half? He probably did. I don't want
to get spanked, but that's a lot for a kid. Yeah,
especially the three year old. He's the one that starts

(24:15):
getting tired and then he's like, Dad, I'm gonna take
a break, and he'll sit down right in the middle
of the sidewalk. I'm my bud. There's other people walking,
you got it. But Dad, it's break time.

Speaker 2 (24:22):
Because the pudgy one, he's three, the baby, and I
sent him on a half mile run and he came
back red pants to his ankles.

Speaker 1 (24:29):
He was exhausted. Dude. He's never gonna run with uncle
ever again. I mean, the fact that you tell the
three year old to go run is impressive. It's the
beauty of it being an uncle. Dude, just tell him whatever. Crap.
See if they buy it, and they listen to you
when they're young, like Boomer doesn't listen to you.

Speaker 2 (24:48):
He doesn't listen unless he's with me. If he's with me,
listens everything.

Speaker 1 (24:51):
I tell him that the fifteen and third what's Claren
Asher's thirteen? So the thirteen year old listens everything? De baby? Wait,
hold on, I got nephew's one niece. What the hell
on baser side? Oh, baser side? I mean, but we're
still close, Okay, all right, I'm thinking.

Speaker 2 (25:07):
Just Boomer, No Boomer and de Baby, so they listen,
you know. But Boomer's got to be in person. At sixteen,
he still listens to me. I woke him up at
six am and made him run a mile and a half.

Speaker 1 (25:17):
Why would you make him get up at six am like.

Speaker 2 (25:20):
Just because he's only with me for three days and
I want to do some sort of corporal punishment. It's
the same way I grew up. He doesn't have that
with my sister. She lets him sleep in, she lets
him watch cartoons. He has a PlayStation's video games all
night long. It's talking to your girlfriend all that long.
I never got to do that.

Speaker 1 (25:37):
So when he comes to my uncle, sissons corporal punishment,
we're gonna work out.

Speaker 2 (25:41):
We're doing ice baths my uncle. Ay, my nuts are hurting.
Don't give a damn. Stay in there, boy. Two minutes
he said he couldn't feel his left nut for the
next twenty minutes.

Speaker 1 (25:53):
We're gonna take a break. We'll be right back. I
gotta say, today marks a great day in my life.
Hold on one second, is it the conclusion of Pride month? Man?
Uh No, My oldest son, baby Box is now eligible

(26:17):
He is now eligible to go swimming again. He's eligible
to go run around in the backyard, he's eligible to
go ride his bike again. Because he was a guy
that decided to get strep throat all the time, over
and over and over and over again, to the point
where he would get strep throat and he wouldn't even

(26:40):
be phased by it. He would wake up in the morning, shit, oh,
weird voice, and I would say, you have strep throat.
Do you think it's because of your throat? What is
wrong with my throat? You just sound different than anybody else.
Do you think that was passed down? I don't know,
because I don't have my tonsils anymore. The first time

(27:01):
I ever met you, the first thing I told Billy
and maybe Mike Miller and maybe South Beach. They go,
how was everybody? I go, lunchbox, dude got a weird
ass voice. Interesting.

Speaker 2 (27:11):
Do you think that's because when you say your kid goes,
I can't talk? How does a kid have that powerful
of a voice that he can lose it. I've never
heard of a kid losing their voice.

Speaker 1 (27:22):
I don't know that he lost his voice. It was
just something was wrong with his voice, and I can
tell he has strep throat, and he got strep throat
so many times. The doctor recommended surgery to remove the tonsils,
and my wife was like, oh, I'm scared about him
going under. I don't know, maybe we can, you know,
maybe not do it. And then he got strep throat
like four times in like a three month span, and

(27:44):
he has to go on antibiotics every single time. And
I was like, the tonsils have got to come out.
So that's it. That's what they call remedies. It tonsils out,
less strep throat. Yeah, you're supposed to not get sick
as much when you get your tonsils out. So why
don't everybody get their tonsils ou when they're first born.
That's a great question. I have no idea why I
him with the circumcision. I'm not understanding why people keep

(28:05):
their tonsils. Maybe they don't get sick. I don't know.
You know what I'm saying. You're in the showers middle school.
You got that one kid walking around with an ant eater.
I mean, guys, why is there just not at the
list tonsils out, wisdom, teeth out? But I know that
batter's box. I know batter's box oh, batter of the box.

(28:26):
I know, batter's box. What if everybody that's a batter's
box here with a special And my sister and myself
all got our tonsils out on the same day when
we were kids, and so I told my wife it's
gonna be okay. He's just he's got to get the
tonsils out. We can't do this strip throat thing. And
so we were gonna get his tonsils out the first
week of summer, like a couple of days after he

(28:46):
got out of kindergarten. We were gonna get the tonsils out.
Only problem ray he had strep throat, so we had
to push it back two and a half weeks. So
we had to wait till the middle of June to
get his tonsils out. And he finally goes in, and
let me tell you, he's a little nervous. Because I
tried not to talk about it. It didn't really explain to

(29:06):
him what's going on, because I don't really know how
to tell a kid, hey man, they're gonna cut your
neck and they're gonna get these tonsils out. Whoa, it's
that invasive. I mean, you gotta go under they cut
your neck. I don't know how they do it. I'll
be honest with you, I don't really know how they
do it. Maybe they do so they send a little
machine down your throat and they rip them things out.
I don't know. I'd like to think it's microscopic instead

(29:29):
of cut your throat wide open. Yeah, because he didn't
have any scars or anything on his throat. Go, do
you know what a boob job happens? No, from the side,
just a little, just a little cut right.

Speaker 2 (29:42):
Cut him and then they boom them or they go
from below above the muscle.

Speaker 1 (29:47):
Okay, well, anyway, Ray, I got real ones on my side.
He gets in there and they give him a little
we're in there and he's starting to get a little nervous,
and they come and they give him some medicine. I'm
gonna drink the pink one first and the white one second.
And he's like, that was terrible. I want prime, basically,

(30:07):
I want prime. And I told him, when you get
done with this, you're gonna get to have popsicles and
milkshakes and everything for two weeks. Two weeks and he
starts getting all loopy, like, Dad, Dad, can I go
to the bathroom and drink some water. I'm like no,
and he goes, Dad, did you think I was gonna

(30:29):
drink the toilet water? And then I don't know what
you're gonna do. He's like, I wasn't gonna do that, Dad,
And then he's just like it's like seeing a six
year old drunk. He starts flopping around on that bed.

Speaker 3 (30:49):
Dad, look at me, I'm all floppy, and he's flopping
side and the side, and I'm like, dude, stop, you're
gonna fall off the freak in bed.

Speaker 1 (31:01):
Then he starts reciting his ABC's Hey Good Nashhill. I'm like,
what is going on? And then they come and they
say all right, it's time to go. And I'm standing
over him, and you're not worried about it because they

(31:23):
do this all the time, but a little bit of
something inside you starts freaking out and tears start to form.
And he looks up at me and he goes, Dad,
you're crying. And I'm like, okay, Like he's like, Dad,
I see your tears. All right, get out of here, kid,

(31:43):
Go So he comes back and wait to keep it together, Pops.
You had one job, dude, it's hard. Keep the fear inside.
Give him confidence. I know what. But once, once, once,
they they're gonna wheel him away and they're gonna put
him under. It's like that, it's something you can't help it.
Even though it's not very long under. He's just getting

(32:04):
his tonsils out. Shouldn't be a big deal. But she
look like freaking Halliburton's pounding the floor and I know.
And so then I'm sitting there and go out in
the lobby and guy, hey man, I love the show. Okay,
all right, man? Is this really when I got tears
of my eye at the time talking to me about
the show? Cool? Yeah, you know what? Golf. Yeah. So

(32:25):
the last two weeks he has been on the couch.
He hadn't been able to go to the pool, he
hadn't able to go run around with his brothers. We've
had to sit him down and say, don't do anything.
He's been sucking down popsicles like nobody's business, and he
has got his brother's eating popsicles milkshakes, yo, girt. The
weird thing is we get him putting and they're like,

(32:46):
I don't like it. How do you not like putting?
I mean, we got you type Yoka pudding, we got
you chocolate vanilla pudding. They eat like two bites, Like
I don't like the pudding. We've gone something weird, but
we've gone. There's so many things of popsicles and ice
cream and everything. Well, bring the putton up here, man,
I'll have some for a snack. Lung the big show.

(33:08):
I will bring it to you. But I'm just so
glad today is the day that he is officially released
back into the world. He can start enjoying summer again.
He has no tonsils and hopefully that means no more
sickness and he's a brand new kid. And I gotta
give him his flowers. Yeah, because he didn't cry and
complain like I thought. I thought it was gonna be

(33:29):
a lot of whining and oh my throw it hurts
so much. But he'd wake up in the morning as
for a popsicle, he'd eat a popsicle, then eat another popsicle,
watch some TV color, eat another popsicle. And he never
really complained. He never literally whined. Well, because he's getting
baptized into American culture. Yeah, we don't do a lot.

Speaker 2 (33:51):
There's a lot of TV. There's a lot of couch
and eventually you lose your motivation. You don't even really
want to go to your job anymore. You don't want
to work out anymore. You're not trying to look good
for the girls because you're already married and you got
a dead end job and you've got a house and everything.
He gets it, dude, he's gonna want to supersize it.
And you know he's got oh yeah.

Speaker 1 (34:07):
Yeah, big mac supersize you know, yeah, yeah, supersize me.
He doesn't know that those words, but guess what, in
a year he's gonna learn him. This is America, man,
I mean what is he like?

Speaker 2 (34:18):
Fried food now and an old fashioned or and then
he likes it, likes uh like something a little little
fizz on it. I mean, what else is he asking for?

Speaker 1 (34:26):
No? I try to give him a vitamin, a vitamin
that you just chew, a flintstone vitamin. Thus Americans, we
don't eat that, and he says, you know what he
says to me, He goes, Dad, I don't. I don't think
I can eat that because my throat I'm not supposed
to eat hard things. I'm like, you can chew that
down to as small as possible. He's right, And so
he wouldn't even eat his dang vitamin you got to
burd it for him. No, I said, just chew it. He'said,

(34:46):
I can't. No, I just need a popsicle. Okay. So
he's lived off popsicles for the last two weeks. The
popsicle game is over. It is back to real life.
He could go out, kick the soccer ball, ride his bike,
skin his knees, play with his friends, and it just
feels great to be.

Speaker 2 (35:00):
He got a taste and he doesn't want to go
for walks anymore to the gas station. No more bike
rides to school. He got a taste for American when
he's thirty years old, and he's gonna love every bit
of it.

Speaker 1 (35:13):
He's like, wait, this is what college is like, and
this is what being an adult is. I don't want
to do crap. Go downstairs going to work, there's pizza boxes,
the TV's on. He's on the couch. Dude, Hey, what
are you dude? He's like, hey, dad, I learned it
when I got my tossels out. Man, just living that life.
And I'm like, you're six, you idiots. One of the
neighbors six year olds to sleep on the couch with him. Hey,

(35:36):
come on, come on, get the hell home. He's doing.
Oh my gosh. All right, that's about it. I gotta go,
I gotta go. Have a great day, Happy Wednesday. But
welcome back to the world, baby box. Guys. Remember let's
put the hump back in hump day. That's a good idea. Eh.

Speaker 2 (35:55):
You gotta think a lot of those guys with their
jobs are traveling. I mean, unless you know, you get
a hotel room and was a good TV package, A
lot of them are pretty lonely.

Speaker 1 (36:03):
Very lonely.

Speaker 2 (36:04):
The truck drivers, I'm sure they can kind of hide
away in their cab and you know, you know, I'll
find some self love.

Speaker 1 (36:10):
But a lot of people on the road. You're at
a hotel, I see someone not to get on a
random tangent. I see some of my people on Instagram.
They travel for their jobs. They're alone in a hotel.
It's the most beautiful view ever. They're alone and they're
lonely as hell. They're by themselves. Man, it's it's and
maybe they need to do what Amy from four feeling
things does it? Feeling feeling personal, feeling yourself. Go out

(36:31):
on the balcony, soak up the sunshine. She was Titanic,
tits up dude, she was Titanic. Tits up, she was
I believe I can fly Jack, I'm flying fly on.
I mean she was doing that tits up, nose up,
everything to the sun. And it was some guys. It
was the weirdest thing I've ever seen. I'm like, Amy, you.

Speaker 2 (36:51):
Two minutes later, I think it would be advantageous for
us to invest in one of these investments. There's another
Fortune five hundred guy in the same spot having a
completely different take on life.

Speaker 1 (37:01):
So weird, all right, yeah, yeah, man's freaking hot, happy summer. Man,
Go get a watermelon. I'm gonna eat some watermelon today.

Speaker 2 (37:08):
Man, it's so hot. The other day, I saw the
devil at the grocery store. Was that what your ex No, man,
it was how hot it is outside. I saw I
saw a dog, man, it was it was all right.
I saw an egg man, it was turned on into
an omelet.

Speaker 1 (37:22):
On the street. Hey, man, I saw someone's shoes. They
were melted to the pavement. Man, man, it's so hot outside.
I saw I saw.

Speaker 3 (37:37):
Dog.

Speaker 1 (37:38):
Just just just stop it, just stop it. I saw
a homeless person making chicken on the street. You're done,
You're done. I'm done. I'm done. I'm taking my headphones off.
I'm taking my headphones out. Listen. It's so hot out.
I had hot soup and a homeless person was like, hey,

I was like, compared to how hot it is, you're right,
