Speaker 1 (00:02):
What a freaking weekend, dude, what a weekend. You gotta
pull your mic down, dude, you gotta get in the zone, because,
oh my gosh. There are not a lot of times
I'm yelling at the TV and jumping up and down
in the living room. But I was yelling at the
TV and jumping up and down in my living room.

Speaker 2 (00:21):
I was watching it with you, idiot. Everybody was watching
that game. You were Bengals Bears. Oh my gosh, that
was unbelievable. I saw it from the on side. Kick on, dude,
when the red zone freaking jumps around like ray, you
can't say that anymore. It's politically and crarect. Can you
say spas anymore?

Speaker 1 (00:39):
Yeah, you can say spats. Oh yeah, yeah. It's like here,
we had the Titans and Chargers. You want to talk
about a dreadful game the Chargers, I had to do
red zone. The Chargers were just like playing with their foods.
I mean, I think the Titans had maybe fifty yards
of offense and they scored two touchdown. I was like, what,
they scored seventeen points and they only had like one
hundred yards offense.

Speaker 3 (01:00):
They got the pick pick and a kick return oh
they did dick.

Speaker 1 (01:04):
Yeah, exactly exactly. Besides that, it was nothing. So I
watched Red Zone a lot for those first set of
games because I was like, I can't watch the Titans
and the freaking Chargers. It's so boring. But dude, when
the Bears are up by like fourteen, we pick it off,
we run it all the way back for a touchdown.
They're like, oh, no, he's down by contact. Then we

(01:26):
go three and out. Well, the two twenty left. The
scoreboard said forty seven to twenty seven. The game was over.
You play to the game was over. Oh, it was over.
And then they of course marched down the field score
a touchdown.

Speaker 3 (01:44):
Well because the thing got overturned so it wasn't a return.

Speaker 1 (01:47):
Right, but it was down. So we went three and out.
We punted, they go down, score, and then it was
a good the onside kick. First of all, I love
the he's facing the one way and he hit he
hooks it the other way. At least there's less people
on the left side, so it's smarter. But our guys
just standing there.

Speaker 3 (02:07):
Did he not know the ball was coming?

Speaker 1 (02:09):
Right? I mean he didn't even look down at the
ball and it hits his left calf and they jump
on it.

Speaker 3 (02:15):
What was he doing blocking or something?

Speaker 2 (02:17):
I don't know what he was doing, right, Like he's
aware just because he's a blocker that the ball can
still hit him.

Speaker 1 (02:22):
Does he know that he's on the hands team, so
he has hands he can use them in football? Well?

Speaker 2 (02:26):
And also you got to realize that football, when it's
an onside kick at ten yards is on fire.

Speaker 3 (02:31):
You want it? That is a flameing hot football.

Speaker 1 (02:34):
And he just blocking all right, He's like, hey man,
my leg's on fire. Don't worrying about Oh my god,
get it. And of course the Bengals were when they
were down by fourteen, they score the touchdown, they go
for two, so they're only down by six. And when
they get that on side kick, you knew they were scoring.
I sunk down in the couch and it was like, well,

(02:57):
we're gonna lose this game.

Speaker 3 (02:59):
Phenomenal job though, Bears too, by just letting them march
down down the field after an onside kick.

Speaker 1 (03:04):
I mean they scored in like thirty five seconds. I
felt like it was like, what are we doing? The
free play was wide open, wide open. We might I
mean besides the Bengals, we might have the worst defense
in the world. Can we get a defense like the
Houston Texans who or the Seattle Seahawks who don't let
anybody move the ball more than two feet?

Speaker 3 (03:24):
My god, they're playing soft shell.

Speaker 1 (03:26):
Ray whatever they were hot shehll no, they were they
were playing hot shell rays. What they were playing? My god?
And they score and I'm just like, well, at least
there's a minute and fifteen left because all we need
is a field goal.

Speaker 2 (03:39):
And the NFL is designed now with the team getting
the ball at the thirty yard line, you only got
to get about with kickers kicking seventy yards. You only,
if you guys think about this, you only need to
get twenty yards only.

Speaker 1 (03:51):
I mean, really, can New NFL you what, oh Peyton
has got to drive it two minutes.

Speaker 3 (03:57):
This is gonna be a two minute drive. Guys. Now,
all they gotta do get twenty yards and a kicker
obamb at seventy.

Speaker 1 (04:02):
Yeah, I mean, the dude hit a sixty eight yard
yesterday for the NFL record. I got a question, like, NFL, really, seriously,
can we either make the goal post thinner or make
them more two points to hit them? No, if it
goes in it's a two pointer like this, this getting
ten yards and kicking a field goal from seventy yards.
It's stupid. Yeah, Like it's like you don't even have

(04:24):
to do anything on offense. But that's what they want
any team to be in the game. They want everybody
to be tuned in till the end because there's always
a chance to win because points are easy to get. Now,
I feel like that's.

Speaker 2 (04:37):
Why you really can't bet, because all that NFL is
designed to be very close.

Speaker 1 (04:42):
That's the very end, that's all they want.

Speaker 2 (04:44):
Your team has never won a bet, and you've never
lost a bet until the very end.

Speaker 1 (04:49):
Unless you watch the I tried to tell you guys
last night. I told you on Friday, I gave you
four money makers.

Speaker 3 (04:56):
Well, are you gonna wrap a ball around the Bears?

Speaker 1 (04:57):
Yeah? And I said my favorite one of the weekend
was the Seattle Seahawks. Oh my god. But anyway, so
then we drive down dry and Caleb Williams, good god, due,
how let me tell you was it that it was
so easy for Flacco who's as old as Mount Rushmore
And then here comes Kaeleb Williams. It was the worst drive,

(05:18):
starting plays I've seen dude. I've never seen someone run
around more uselessly than Caleb Williams. Like he runs in
circles in like panics and runs backwards and runs sideways,
runs back around.

Speaker 2 (05:32):
Well, his run did save you guys a little bit
because I finally got something going.

Speaker 1 (05:35):
Well. One time he ran and I'm like, oh, he's
got the first down and he face planted into the
turf two yards short of the first down. I'm like,
what are you doing. It wasn't on that drive, it
was on a different drive, but I was like, god, man,
stay out on your feet.

Speaker 2 (05:48):
So he goes from I think like first and second down.
He looked like absolute, oh my god, he got it
first down because my buddy had the Bears, so I
was rooting with him. I was sweating it. And then
the bomb across the middle out of nowhere is just
the most beautiful pass.

Speaker 1 (06:00):
No, no, can I just say that. Sometimes when he throws
that football, I'm like, that dude has a kick. I
mean he ripped a freaking dart a couple times, like
he put a bam put it right on him. I
mean that was a beautiful I mean he gripped and
ripped ash it was. And then the Bengals they go

(06:24):
for the knockout punch and it was like he was
in the freaking bumper guards boom boom spend cycle and
he starts to go and I'm going in my down. No,
I'm not.

Speaker 3 (06:36):
You want him to get down?

Speaker 1 (06:37):
Why run?

Speaker 3 (06:39):
We have no timeouts to left, have no timeouts left.

Speaker 1 (06:41):
Spike it. No, I am not taking a chance of
a false start. I forgot anything like that, or not
getting it done right, or our kicker missing a kick.
We are the Chicago Bears, and I am yelling, go,
go go. I am jumping up and down in the
living room. He was strong, but he was looking a

(07:02):
little like, Oh, he was running out of gas, folks.
He was running out of gas. And he crossed the line.
And did you see what he did? He didn't stick
the ball out, he didn't drop it behind him. He
had two hands on the football.

Speaker 4 (07:16):
And he said, bes touchdown.

Speaker 1 (07:21):
That's what the Titans guy sounds like. And then he
doesn't say that a lot. Here's the problem. There were
still seventeen seconds left. Thank you for tuning into your Titans.
They playing the Chargers today.

Speaker 2 (07:33):
I had to listen a little bit of that he's
read me go run a couple honey dudes.

Speaker 3 (07:38):
Got to listen to the broadcasters again.

Speaker 1 (07:40):
They weren't saying I mean, they didn't have much to say.

Speaker 3 (07:42):
Well, I mean that guy's on his last leg.

Speaker 5 (07:45):
The Titans are down, won't be back after this message?

Speaker 1 (07:49):
He selling the grandpa on the Simpsons. Man dude. So
then there's seventeen seconds left and I'm like, oh great,
here we go. And they get into and I'm my
good god, almighty, how are they already in midfield? And
here comes the hell Mary?

Speaker 3 (08:05):
But the pngles needed if field goal wasn't enough.

Speaker 1 (08:08):
I know, but the hail Mary. They got to midfield,
they throw the hail Mary. Guess what we lost on
a hail Mary last year to Jayden Daniels and the Commanders.
So I did not but Flaco flacco old arm. He
couldn't get to the end.

Speaker 3 (08:17):
You didn't worry about Flacco's arm. One of them's bad.

Speaker 1 (08:20):
I don't know which one. He's throwing one. Well, then
that ain't getting to the end zone. Ro you might
want he might be the bionic Man because surprise, supposedly,
he sprained the ac joint in his throwing shoulder and
he went out and threw for four hundred and seventy
five yards. That's how the hell did we win the game.

Speaker 3 (08:37):
That's what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (08:38):
That's why you can't bet everything said, go Bears to
win by twenty, everything.

Speaker 1 (08:44):
Everything, And they were up by twenty with like a
minute left, and they Oh my god, it was unbelievable.
I mean, it was like pure pandemonium. I usually don't
get that excited, but when he when he threw that freaking.

Speaker 2 (08:57):
Missile, I'm glad we both saw it right over the middle,
and I'm like, whoa, whoa.

Speaker 3 (09:06):
You weren't worried, though, because you knew you could get
the field goal.

Speaker 1 (09:09):
Well I was worried, dude. I don't want to listen.
Teams that leave it to a field goal stress me out,
because I don't believe kickers are that great unless you
have the fair bearer from Houston.

Speaker 2 (09:23):
What about the one kicker or the Patriots against Atlanta
the guy missed the extra.

Speaker 1 (09:28):
Point another one. I mean, it's like, what are you doing?

Speaker 3 (09:31):
You just drive down?

Speaker 2 (09:32):
Drake London makes the catches all my life. He scores
five touchdowns and then the kicker misses a gimmea.

Speaker 1 (09:37):
Oh my god. And that's what I mean.

Speaker 3 (09:38):
That's why I'm not talking to him all week.

Speaker 1 (09:40):
No, No, he's no, he's sitting. And he had to
take Southwest back to Atlanta and they took the team playing.
There's no way he flew back with the team and
in the locker room they put him in a utility closet.
There's no way they did it like they did at
Texas Tech when that guy got a concussion. But I
just I couldn't believe it, dude, I could not freaking

(10:01):
believe it.

Speaker 3 (10:01):
It was a wild day. That's what the NFL is
all about.

Speaker 1 (10:04):
That's what they want.

Speaker 2 (10:04):
Because remember a week or two ago, it was the
first time in one hundred years every game had been
a blowout.

Speaker 1 (10:10):
Oh every game, every day. It was.

Speaker 2 (10:12):
Statistically they said, it's the first time it happened in
like eleven years, that every there was only one game
within a one score everything else was a blowout.

Speaker 1 (10:21):
It was like a roller coaster of emotions. Man, it
was a roller coaster of emotions. And what was amazing
is I sat there and celebrated the Bears win and
I just could not believe Caleb Williams was ripping, freaking
Peters right into the chest, baby, and we won. We
scored forty seven points, and our best wide receiver had

(10:43):
zero catches. A donay a Doonza had zero catches. Fanonga
fun Guy Manung guy. He was running over people.

Speaker 3 (10:53):
We dropped him.

Speaker 2 (10:55):
Oh he put up twenty something fantasy points two hundred yards,
but I think one of his touchdowns got ruled out.

Speaker 1 (11:02):
I don't know. I just know he was. Every time
I turn it on, Mnunguy fun Gung guy was running
someone over. Next thing, I know, mununguy of a non
guy another running over. I had the emotional roller coaster
of a lifetime yesterday. So not only that, that's what
sports are for. The Bears win and I'm like, man,
let me check out. All I do is win. How

(11:24):
we're doing over in the sore Losers Fantasy League. Oh
it's one fifteen to fifty.

Speaker 3 (11:30):
Oh you didn't know all that time that you were
getting beat that bad.

Speaker 1 (11:34):
No, I didn't rouses that bad and rose that bad.
I'm like, oh, that's cool, man, thanks for showing up.
Team really appreciate it. And then I tune into Sunday
Night Football and I have Sam slinging the ball. Darnld
I got the finest wine in the Mississippi, the Charbonnet,

(12:00):
and I got the guy that I mean is open
all day. He's like seven eleven in Jigba and Jigbu.
You have three Seahawks on your team, Yes, I do.
The guy we played stars three Titans. Hold on. I
just picked up Samon slinging Sammy because I had justin fields.
And when they said they were gonna bench him, I

(12:21):
was without a quarterback. So I picked someone dropped him
because he was on a buy and I was like,
I gotta get him, and so I bid, and I
got him when he was on a by, and so
I went with a fill in for the first week
was Joe Flaco Flaco Flame. I should have stuck with
Flac o fla o flame. He threw for four seventy five.
But anyway, I digress, And I mean, before I can

(12:42):
even get the game on, it's twenty one to nothing
and Darnold already has three t d's, and I'm like,
oh my god, do you believe in miracles?

Speaker 3 (12:54):
You ain't coming back from sixty points.

Speaker 1 (12:57):
And I'm like, and Jigba's got a one hundred night
eighteen yards at the half. Sam Donald's got four tugs
at the half, and I'm down by like three points
at the half, and Batter's box caused me. He's like,
and you thought your team was the magic had run out.
You were gonna lose. Sam Donald proceeded to get one

(13:20):
point in the second half. No, well, he got more
than one point, but he threw a pick Jackson and
Jig but didn't get a single catch in the second half.
That's a bad beat. They gave Sharbonay one goal line carry.
Then they just did the tush push with their tight
end barner and I lost by point nine to eight.

(13:48):
They brought in, they brought no, no, and even in
garbage time, they didn't let Sharbonay, the finest wine in
Mississippi drink. They didn't let him get a couple carries.
They gave it to the third string running back. I
just needed ten yards drink from my cup, and I
mainly needed eight yards. Just let Sharbonay, the finest wine

(14:10):
from Mississippi, please put him in the game for two
more carries. Nope. And I just sat there and I
watched my team lose, and I followed a second place
and I'm gonna tell you what big tsunami. Who's in
third place is charging hard. Their team is unbelievable, and
it is not looking good for me. God, I lost

(14:30):
my point nine to eight. So I went from the
highest the highs watching the Chicago Bears go crazy in
Cincinnati to Sharboney and Darnold, and I thought, Oh, that interception,
that's just a hiccup. I don't think if through another
pass after that, I don't think if through another pass.

Speaker 3 (14:46):
It could always be worse. We didn't score a touchdown.

Speaker 2 (14:49):
Our entire team, including the quarterback Patty Mahomes, didn't have
one touchdown.

Speaker 1 (14:56):
One first a team score touchdown.

Speaker 2 (14:58):
Patty Mahomes no touchdown, Charbonnay no touchdowns.

Speaker 3 (15:02):
None of our wide receivers no touchdowns.

Speaker 2 (15:04):
Warren had a touchdown, but it got batted at the
line of scrimmage. BTJ Killer he had a touchdown. It
was a beautiful trick play, but it's kind of it
wasn't gonna get caught, but it was close. The play
was to him. I love a good play when it
goes to receiver BTJ Killer.

Speaker 1 (15:22):
I don't know who that Thomas Jr. Thank you, he
had it. He was on his back.

Speaker 2 (15:25):
It really wasn't catchable, but the play was designed for him.
So we had design touchdowns but zero touchdowns. No, how
is that possible?

Speaker 1 (15:34):
That's pretty much we pause fifty points.

Speaker 2 (15:36):
I watched for five hours on Sunday, and my fantasy
team didn't score one touchdown.

Speaker 1 (15:43):
Even a cornerback scores a touchdown.

Speaker 3 (15:48):
We got blowed out.

Speaker 1 (15:52):
Hey, I'm gonna assume if you didn't score one touchdown
on your fantasy team that your team got blowed out.
We only lost by like twenty.

Speaker 3 (15:59):
We still could have won if BTJ would have caught
his design touchdown and Tyler Warren it wouldn't gotten batted
down at the line.

Speaker 1 (16:05):
That could have been the difference right there. Oh, you
wonder how close I was. They gave a goal line
carry to Charbonnet and they didn't get it. Then they
did the tushbush with the tight end. The Las Vegas
Raiders went to overtime. Yeah, the Jaguars scored touchdown at ten,
got tackled at the one. Okay, cool, cool, cool all right?
So then they scored a touchdown with Trevor Lawrence jumping

(16:25):
over the top sticking the ball out. The Oakland Raiders,
now in Las Vegas, drive their ass all the way
down to the one yard line. They handed to Gingy,
tackled on the one, then they just throw a touchdown
the brock Bowers. Two of my.

Speaker 4 (16:39):
Guys tackled at the one, Darnald iron t and I
lose my point ninety eight. My god, the fantasy gods
screwing with you right there. I mean, you want talking
about an emotional roller coaster of a day, but who
cares the Bears.

Speaker 1 (16:55):
I can't believe it. I can't believe it. We should
probably start the show, but we'll take a break, and
no one gives a damn. No one cares that we
just broke down the Bears for seventeen freaking minutes. But man,
it felt good.

Speaker 2 (17:07):
I could tell a story about meeting the guy at
the Mexican restaurant again.

Speaker 1 (17:11):
Oh, we'll take a break on here. All about it
the one you already told. Yeah, now I can tell
you about my story, right but you.

Speaker 2 (17:19):
Were saying, if they don't think our sports talks interesting,
I can just tell the story about meeting the fan again.

Speaker 1 (17:24):
No, I can tell you all about my weekend. Man.
I'm gonna tell you what Friday night that is the
best trigger treating weather we have had since I had kids.

Speaker 3 (17:36):
It got cold.

Speaker 1 (17:37):
It was fifty degrees. It got cold, fifty between forty
five and fifty degrees. There was no rain, there was
no wind.

Speaker 3 (17:45):
It got cold.

Speaker 1 (17:47):
It was phenomenal.

Speaker 3 (17:48):
It got cold.

Speaker 2 (17:49):
It was perfect weather. You were right about the driveway.
We ended up going to the end of the driveway.

Speaker 1 (17:55):
Told you, your driveway's way too long.

Speaker 2 (17:57):
Yeah, Baser felt bad. Kids are having a rundown and
some were falling, so we ended up going to the end.
But with blankets on. It got chilly.

Speaker 1 (18:05):
I mean, I guess I was moving. We were walking
the neighborhood. We were knocking on doors, We were, you know,
asking for candy. So I can't say how cold it was,
because it felt great. We were all just every every
parent I saw. Oh in the great Man, I got
all the rain yesterday and the wind yesterday. Today is perfect,
perfect trick or treating weather. Huh what do you say, Jim?

(18:26):
Oh my gosh, Mollie, aren't you so happy that the
rain is just held off?

Speaker 2 (18:31):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (18:31):
Yes, it's so great.

Speaker 3 (18:33):
I love your maid costume. Oh you're a cleaning lady.

Speaker 1 (18:37):
Got it? Oh sorry, I didn't realize that.

Speaker 3 (18:39):
How many trigger treats.

Speaker 1 (18:40):
Do you think we had in your neighborhood? Probably twenty five?
We clocked it twenty five if I had to guess
your neighborhood, five hundred and thirty.

Speaker 3 (18:50):
What Yeah, there was cops in the street, they shut
down the road. It was golf carts.

Speaker 2 (18:56):
Met dozens of people, way too many people knowing where
we live.

Speaker 1 (19:00):
Where did all these people come from? I think they.

Speaker 2 (19:02):
Bust them in from like youth home or something. You
had five hundred trick or treaters neighbor gunnit? Wow, that's incredible.

Speaker 1 (19:14):
Yeah, it was.

Speaker 2 (19:14):
We went through four bags of candy in an hour
and a half, big jumbo ones.

Speaker 3 (19:18):
We were giving out Whether's original, good, good call, That's
what we were down to.

Speaker 1 (19:22):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (19:22):
Then we had to turn the lights off and hide
and side yeah because you were out. Yeah, and the
kids still kept coming.

Speaker 1 (19:27):
That's the problem. We weren't even out trigger treating yet.
It was five o'clock and people are knocking on the
door and I'm like, guys, how do you not get
five o'clock? People aren't even home from work at five o'clock, Like,
what are you doing?

Speaker 2 (19:39):
So that was Pops trying to get a jump on it.
But it was actually annoying you guys because you're trying
to get ready.

Speaker 1 (19:44):
I'm trying to get the kids dressed, and I'm like,
why are we knocking on my door? Like it's not
even like you don't even know if I'm doing Halloween
because it's not dark out so you can't tell if
my porch light is on. And I'm not ready. My
kids are not dressed in their costumes yet. I'm trying
to get them ready to go trigger treating and you
guys are knocking on my dang door.

Speaker 3 (20:02):
But it was like parents with their kids. Oh yeah,
high schoolers.

Speaker 1 (20:05):
No, his, parents with their kids. I think there was
some middle schoolers rolling around. That's okay. Middle schoolers could
still do it.

Speaker 2 (20:10):
Okay, yeah THEI There weren't any pedophiles were there?

Speaker 1 (20:16):
Did you go with that costume? No?

Speaker 3 (20:18):
I went Torklesen, Spencer, Torklesen.

Speaker 1 (20:20):
Smart.

Speaker 3 (20:20):
I ended up meeting Joe Burrow. Who else did I meet?
There was another kid?

Speaker 1 (20:24):
Yeah? I met some good guys. Okay, Joe Burrow met
Aaron Judge Bails, Messy did you meet MESSI? We met
Messi on Saturday night. I'll tell you all about that. Too.
Hey that segment four. Now we're oh, it's coming up, dude,
because let me tell you, we were that game. We
were looking forward to that to Boo Messy my seven
year old. That's all he talked about, baby Box. All
I wanted to do all week was boo Messy. Well, anyway,

(20:46):
so we went trick or treating finally, and I mean
we were out for a while and then these neighbors.
We didn't go by the neighbors that are having the party.
We didn't go by there. We went to a different
neighbor's house.

Speaker 2 (20:55):
I was on the edge of my seat and I
have the whole thing when you only need the edge.

Speaker 1 (20:59):
We went there and there was a bunch of people
we didn't know, and we were like, all right, well,
we just ate their food and left. This one party.
Usually it's like other neighbors that like have kids at
our age and we all hang out. This time they
invited their work friends and I was like, man, I
don't know these people. I'm gonna eat, I'm gonna get out.

Speaker 3 (21:17):
Same thing at the end of ours. They invite the
we didn't get the invite.

Speaker 1 (21:21):
Huh.

Speaker 2 (21:21):
The first house when you enter our neighborhood was a
huge thing going on. I never got the invite.

Speaker 1 (21:26):
It's weird, and so like we just and we got
there late. I mean, our kids trigger treated for two
and a half hours. They were they were, they were
they were smashing the trick or treating this year, doing
so good. They had so much fun. Then they ran
in their buddies and they started wrestling in some people's
yards like they were having freaking WWE wrestling match. And
I was like, all right, whatever, you guys, do you

(21:47):
then they're sliding down hills. Who's doing it? You and
the wife are with the kids or just you? Oh yeah, yeah, me,
wife's with the kids. We're dividing con no, no, all
three we're just walking with them. But is it cool
for all three to go with each other? Yeah? They're cool, right,
I'm cool. I mean baby Box three has a little
bit harder her time sticking up with the older two.

Speaker 2 (22:05):
It's when I took a little henny running around the block.
He can only go so far with his small legs.

Speaker 1 (22:10):
But he he did a good job, like he was
very into it. They were running house to house and
the drama before was how you know, baby Box two
decided he didn't want to be Steve from Minecraft, right,
because no one was going to be Steve from Minecraft.
So when I got home from work on Friday, I
sat him down and I said, look, man, you can
be anything but a girl. Do you want to go
look for a new costume?

Speaker 2 (22:29):
Like?

Speaker 1 (22:29):
I don't want you to be without a Cosme goes, yeah, dad,
i'd really want to go look for a new costume.
So all right, So we packed up the car and
me and him went to the store and there was nothing.

Speaker 3 (22:38):
Left on Hollow's Eve.

Speaker 1 (22:40):
On Hallow's Eve afternoon, four hours before we're supposed to
go trick or treating, we're out looking for a damn costume.

Speaker 3 (22:46):
He looks like a good dad.

Speaker 1 (22:47):
Oh you want to talk about stressful man?

Speaker 2 (22:49):
Put it off to the last possible second. Hey, how's
it going, Sarah?

Speaker 1 (22:53):
And we get done and he doesn't have a costume.
He likes there's nothing there.

Speaker 3 (22:57):
Okay, but there's stuff at your house you can do
made all of ours.

Speaker 1 (23:00):
Well, yeah, we usual we need to start making them.
We are at the age where we need to have
falls on. Your wife decide in advance what they're gonna be,
and we need to make it.

Speaker 2 (23:09):
My mom would stay up the entire night before Halloween.
He made my costume.

Speaker 1 (23:13):
Batter's Box. He made his son's costume. What was it?
Batter's Box made his son's costume.

Speaker 3 (23:18):
What if everybody that's a Batter's Box here?

Speaker 1 (23:20):
He was an outhouse. Batter's Box knew all the dimensions. Yeah,
he found it on tiktokay. My dad helped him with
some of the or maybe he was on Pinterest. I
don't know. Battersbox were scrolling Pinterest maybe and he saw outhouse,
said oh, that's gonna be great, and so he built it.
And so he had a door and you open it
up and there is the son sitting on the toilet.

Speaker 2 (23:39):
So I'm on ESPN and Daily Mail and Batter's Box
goes on Etsy and Pottery Barn.

Speaker 1 (23:44):
That's what he does. I don't know anyway. So I'm like, dude,
we gotta go we gotta go home, we gotta eat lunch.
We had parent teacher conferences on freaking Friday, where you
go and they tell you about how your kids are
doing in class. And so I was like, dude, I
don't have time to go find you another costume. Your
your mom's gonna have to take you after the parent
teacher things, and he's like, okay, okay, and parent teacher conference.

(24:10):
Let me tell you glowing reviews for the boys. Glowing.
Baby Box three has a little bit hard time listening.
He doesn't like to listen on the first time, is
what the teacher said. But that's just typical of all kids.
I'm like, yeah, that's you know, that's DNA and uh
Baby Box two. His teacher said, excellent storyteller, loves to
tell stories. She goes, he tells stories like you do.

(24:31):
She said, can I get an autograph? She's like, he
comes in like the other day the bus was late,
and he came up and told me what happened. And
then someone in the class goes, what happened on the bus?
What happened on the bus? And the teacher said, oh,
you don't have to say anything if don't want. He goes, no,
I'll tell you guys, and she said she got him.
He got him all around him and was like, so
we were driving and we'd go to take a turn
and boom, a loud bang, and then we just sat

(24:54):
there for a long, long long time. And as we're
sitting on the bus, we don't know what's going on
and guess what, guys, a police officer showed up, and
the whole class whoa, and he goes. And then another
police officer showed up, and he goes. And then the bus.
The police officer got on the bus and said hello
to us all and said, hey, we're gonna get you

(25:16):
out of here real soon. And he said, and we
just sat there and it was so hot on the
bus because they had the heater and they didn't have
the windows down, so we're all just sweating. And then
they brought us to school. Whoa. She was like, the
whole class was laughing. She said, he was just adding
detail after detail and just going on and on. Had

(25:39):
the whole class enamored. And then baby Box. One teacher said,
oh my gosh, he's such a good helper. He's a
good student. Great job he really you know, it helps
me around the class. He listens very well. And when
I she said, this is a compliment, she said, usually
when I have a substitute teacher on the lessons plans,
I usually had to give a couple names of kids

(26:01):
that can help. She goes, It's never the boys, because
the boys are always rambustious. She goes, this year for
the first time, I put down your son's name.

Speaker 3 (26:09):
A boy never thought about that, So they kind of
got to tip off the sub.

Speaker 1 (26:14):
Yes, they tip off the sub on who if they
don't know, like where something is or how something goes,
they can ask that student. Baby Box is one of
those students.

Speaker 2 (26:22):
But also, was it to look out for him or
it was a good thing to have your name on
the list.

Speaker 1 (26:27):
I think it's name. It's a good thing. But the
other kids may not like you because they may see
you as kind of a kiss ass. Did anybody else
see that? So then I have to go to a
doctor's appointment on Friday, and the wife's going to take
them to go to the Halloween store and she gets
a call from the neighbor says, Hey, I'm at Walmart.
Do you guys need anything?

Speaker 3 (26:44):
Yeah, a costume.

Speaker 1 (26:45):
She's like, oh my gosh, are there any costumes? She goes, well,
there's a blue Power Ranger And she asks Babybox two, Hey,
you know there's a blue Yes, that's what I want
to be. I'll be a Power Ranger because Babybox one
is already being a red Power Ranger.

Speaker 2 (27:00):
Though that the lady goes just to throw away hey,
need anything, pack of gum? Yeah, an entire Halloween costume?
What have you parents been doing the past month?

Speaker 1 (27:09):
No? No, we already had Halloween costumes and we had
a last minute change chaser.

Speaker 2 (27:12):
Do you need anything from the grocery store? Some in
the small some bread, milk, water, anything?

Speaker 1 (27:17):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (27:18):
Can you give me an entire Thanksgiving meal?

Speaker 4 (27:20):
Like?

Speaker 2 (27:20):
What a neighbor like? I'm never asking you guys if
you need anything again?

Speaker 1 (27:26):
Yeah? Yeah, Halloween costume? Yeah, so that's it. Baby Box
two is gonna be the blue uh power Ranger. Boom
got the costumes. Then from the back seat, baby Box
three hears that they're both gonna be Power Rangers, and
he yells out, I don't want to be Pikachu anymore.

(27:48):
I don't like the costume. Oh my gosh.

Speaker 2 (27:51):
At this point, as a parent, you gotta start considering
canceling Halloween.

Speaker 1 (27:55):
What do you mean you don't want to be Pikachu?
I don't like the costume. I don't like anymore? Want
to be a Power Ranger too? Mom?

Speaker 3 (28:01):
Are you identifying differently?

Speaker 1 (28:04):
So my wife has to call the neighbor lady back, like, hey,
are you still at Walmart? Is there any chance any
chance whatsoever, there's another Power Ranger costume, and she was
able to secure another red Power Ranger. So all three
kids were Power Rangers.

Speaker 2 (28:21):
You gotta think that Ninja Turtles. They they've got decent
stuff to choose from, but they should do a costume.

Speaker 3 (28:26):
They can all kind of you.

Speaker 1 (28:28):
Know, I would like them to be individuals. I like
the individuality. What's crazy is Baby Box one went into
Halloween all the week, all month talking about how he
wants to be a dog dog dog dog Dog.

Speaker 2 (28:41):
So then you guys probably need to go that what's
that kid cartoon dog show, Paw Patrol?

Speaker 3 (28:46):
You probably should have all done Paw Patrol.

Speaker 2 (28:48):
Your wife's the sexy cop, you're the sheriff, you're the warden.

Speaker 1 (28:52):
I get what you're saying. But the problem is then
he changed to a Power Ranger out of left field.
He doesn't even watch Power Rangers. Did you see some
of these families where they do the whole family? I
saw it.

Speaker 2 (29:01):
I mean, how close were you guys to doing that?
Not close at all, That's what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (29:05):
We did it one time when we were first when
so it was two three, So when a baby Box
was four, he wanted to be the what are they
called Outlet, Get Go and Cat Boy, they're that that group.

(29:26):
I don't know what they're called. You're the cartoon, you're
gonnadd You're gonna hold on, hold on the power rint.
Now they're not the Power Rangers.

Speaker 2 (29:32):
They're get Go truck drivers right now are screaming at
their truck.

Speaker 1 (29:36):
Yeah, they are. Oh my god. The farmer's like, oh
my gosh, how do you not know this? They're the
cat Patrol, the Owl Patrol, Owl City Air Bud. No, gosh,
what are they called? Owlet? Ninja kids? No, they're not
ninja kids.

Speaker 3 (29:54):
You watched this show regularly.

Speaker 1 (29:55):
We used to, and he wanted us all to be that.
He wanted to be cat Boy, Baby Boxer, be Get Go.
The wife was Outlet, and I was one of the villains.

Speaker 3 (30:06):
You dressed up as this and you still don't even
know the show.

Speaker 1 (30:09):
It is four years ago. Man, you're losing it. Man,
Howard puffs Gosh, Outlet Catboy, Oh my gosh, it's gonna
drive me nuts.

Speaker 3 (30:18):
We don't google on this show.

Speaker 1 (30:19):
Now, we're not googling. We're not gonna google it.

Speaker 3 (30:21):
It actually improves your memory if you try to remember it.

Speaker 1 (30:23):
Yeah, outlet al City Catboy, what is.

Speaker 2 (30:29):
It called patrol pause?

Speaker 1 (30:33):
Oh my gosh, up autlet Catboy, Get go ThunderCats, catsercats.
That's like, no, I remember ThunderCats. Yeah, I know, I
remember the ones that used to live in the tree.

Speaker 3 (30:44):
Yeah. Shirt tails, Yeah, that.

Speaker 1 (30:47):
Was a good one. Tails ducktails is another good one. Gosh,
not the smurs, not care bears, Get go, PJ mask,
Thank you, that's kids, thank you.

Speaker 3 (31:02):
That is how you don't use Google.

Speaker 1 (31:04):
Yes, use your brain, people. You have a brain for
a reason. So we did DOJ to make you sweat
it out. I was not looking it up. We did
PJ Mass one year. That was the only time we
did a family one. I love it.

Speaker 2 (31:14):
The costumes were cute, but it just comes across a
little bit try hard.

Speaker 3 (31:19):
You're perfect family.

Speaker 1 (31:20):
Oh I kind of agree. I will say that.

Speaker 3 (31:24):
Okay, we get you.

Speaker 2 (31:25):
Guys are all perfect and you all dress the same.
A husband and wife hate each other and they kids
are want to run away.

Speaker 1 (31:31):
Yeah. We went in and one ran into one family
that lived in the neighborhood. They were all Disney characters.
One was Pluto, one was Mickey Mouse, Mini Mouse, Goofy,
Donald Duck not sure which other ones were. And then
I saw one family, my friend Jinny. They were the
nineties Bowls. So one was Jordan, one was Rodman. That

(31:53):
was pretty funny. That's pretty good. They had Bulls jerseys.
That was they were a championship team.

Speaker 2 (31:57):
Say not a lot of work went into costumes this year, though, Yeah,
and a lot of them are. People are dressed like
stuff that was popular with us. I'm like, oh wow,
Power Rangers. That's popular.

Speaker 1 (32:05):
It's still popular, man, it's still so many Power Rangers.

Speaker 3 (32:09):
And I was like, guys, that was big, like forty
years ago.

Speaker 1 (32:11):
What is happening right now? I mean, it's amazing. My
kids were Power Rangers and they don't even watch the show.
They don't even watch it.

Speaker 2 (32:17):
Yeah, not really a lot of athletes kids mainly went
with this random cris.

Speaker 1 (32:22):
I saw one football player. I think I think that
was about it.

Speaker 3 (32:26):
So what I'm saying. I met Joe Burrow? Was there
a Brady?

Speaker 2 (32:29):
I feel like there was a Titan in the mix somewhere,
Derrick Henry met him.

Speaker 3 (32:32):
I would always introduce myself.

Speaker 1 (32:35):
Did you mean Bill Callahan? No or whatever the hell
of coach used to be named?

Speaker 2 (32:39):
Gotta say one of the dads. Dude, what you're saying
he has the time on his hand, Yeah.

Speaker 1 (32:42):
He's got plenty of time, probably out trick or treating.

Speaker 2 (32:44):
This one dad built the carriage from Cinderella and was
pulling it around. Oh, I was like, somebody went for
Dad of the Year.

Speaker 1 (32:51):
One person there their kid was an astronaut and the
wagon he had built it into a spaceship.

Speaker 2 (32:58):
See very talented dads, and don't get me wrong, but
also it's kind of all right, buddy, what do you
do Monday through Friday?

Speaker 3 (33:04):
Like, how do we have that much extra time?

Speaker 1 (33:06):
It's a lot of work. And then there was one
the stupid ass people that I hate is there kids
in a stroller kidding even walk and they're pull getting
them upstairs and taking them up there to go trigger treating.
What are you doing your kid that you don't get?
I mean, you're eating that candy. They might have been
a handicapped No, no they're not. Oh the kids like one,
it's like, come on, don't take that kid. That kid

(33:29):
doesn't know how to trigger treat.

Speaker 2 (33:30):
And then the overly now all of a sudden, kids
are just going for one candy. They're all stop, guys,
take a handful. I don't want to be out here
all night.

Speaker 1 (33:37):
Oh and then oh, that's what I saw our old
sales girl on Facebook. She posted She's like, Oh my gosh,
what has happened to society? She was like, I put
a bucket on the porch, and as we're getting ready,
I see kids just taking handfuls when there's a sign
that clearly says please take two. Like, what are you
talking about?

Speaker 3 (33:57):
Rock a handful?

Speaker 1 (33:58):
She was like, why would kids do that? It's so disgusting,
And I said, you're a rare breed man. We took
the whole bucket when we were kids. What the hell
are you talking about a handful? Please take too? Shut up.
When they're middle school kids, they are taking as much
as they dang want, Like, get out of here with
that crap. And some kids don't know how to read,
so they just grab a handful. They're not they're not

(34:19):
wasting time reading your sign. They're running house to house,
house to house. Ain't got time for that crap. And
then another disappointing thing, where are all the teenagers in
my neighborhood. I went on a walk the day after Halloween,
and let me tell you, there wasn one smash.

Speaker 2 (34:33):
Pumpkin in my neighborhood. Yeah, not a single one. It
was smashed candy bar though. And there was a decent
amount of rappers in the neighborhood.

Speaker 1 (34:39):
Oh so many rappers. And let me tell you, baby,
Box two went on the walk with me. He rode
his bike and he found a piece of candy that
was still in the wrapper. And then he went so
slow on his bike. He filled up both my pants
pockets and my hoodie pocket with candy he found on
the ground. The day after Halloween, unopened, just dropped, dropped,
dropped the yard, dropped on the sidewalk covered by a

(35:02):
leaf man he cleaned up.

Speaker 2 (35:05):
Yeah, like, let's save the world. Let's save the turtles. Kids,
at least pick up your litter. That's more of a
concern than stealing a handful.

Speaker 1 (35:11):
I agree. Happy Halloween, everybody. We should probably start the show.
We'll do it right after this started, before we get
into I mean Saturday night me via messy. All right,
we're gonna do it live. Oh the one duode sore loser?

(35:33):
What up, everybody? I am lunchbox. I know the most
about sports, so I gave you the sports facts. My
sports opinions, because I'm pretty much a sports.

Speaker 3 (35:40):
Genius, y'all.

Speaker 2 (35:42):
It's Sison. I'm from the North. I'm an alpha male.
I live on the North Side in Ashville with Bezer.
We got two point three three acres, we got two
kids at Vanderbilt Clinic electrophysiology unit. Justin should be checking
on him this week, and then seventy two is probably.

Speaker 1 (35:54):
When I'll die of a heart attack.

Speaker 3 (35:56):
And without further ado messy to you.

Speaker 1 (36:00):
Thank you. Saturday night, Man Miami Enter Miami was coming
to Nashville. They were taking the field at Jiodis Park,
and all week Baby Box is talking about I can't
wait to boom MESSI. I can't wait to boom MESSI.
I can't wait to boom messy. And I looked earlier
in the week, game time, five thirty pm. Let's freaking go.

(36:21):
So all day we're playing there doing stuff. They're outside
climbing trees. At about four point thirty I went out
there and I said, boys, it's time to get ready
for the game, and Baby Box loses his crap.

Speaker 5 (36:39):
It's starting to boom Messie. It's started to boom messy.
It's turned to boom I see he's running around the
yard here like, let's go, boys, let's go, let's go,
let's go. He runs inside. He throws his jersey on.

Speaker 1 (36:54):

it's gonna be a little cold. Yell ya, let's do that.
It's time to boom messy. He runs Mom, Mom, it's

Speaker 2 (37:12):
She goes.

Speaker 1 (37:13):
She's like, what about just cheering for Nashville. Good call moms.
And he's like, no, we got a boom messy. This
is when he's not gonna like us. And so we
get all dressed, all right, get the car packed. Drive. Man,
there's not a lot of people here. Man, that's not
very much traffic. That's weird. Yeah, it didn't sound right,

(37:35):
like what is going on? Why are not very many
people coming to the game. I don't know. Man, All right,
another pandemic. We pay the park, park, we walk, yeah
yeah yeah, and there's a family of three right behind us,
all in messy jerseys and we're standing waiting across the
street and we all turn around boom boo, and they're like, oh,

(37:56):

So she doesn't even know why you guys are booing.
Who the daughter. I'm like, oh, okay, okay.

Speaker 3 (38:03):
Guys, stop with the surprises. Tell your kids.

Speaker 1 (38:05):
Well, Mike, you have a messy jersey on. There's a
bunch of people in soccer jerseys, and she can't pick
up on that you're walking to a soccer game. That
makes sense. Cool, We guess you did a surprise gender
reveal too, cool man, all right, So she has no idea.
So we walk up to the stadium and there's not
very many people there and I'm like, what in.

Speaker 3 (38:23):
The world told you was freaking cold?

Speaker 1 (38:27):
And then I look game time six thirty.

Speaker 2 (38:29):
Yeah, I never thought it was at five thirty. When
you said that, it struck me. Odd Yeah, yeah, that's
on me, that's on you.

Speaker 1 (38:36):
That's on me. So the kids run around on the
outside for a little bit. They got these soccer kick
it balls, they got bean back, you know, they got
you know, bags, you're throwing bags, kicking soccer balls, running
around and then finally had to be in there for
about an hour. You know, it's already six o'clock. All right,
hey guys, you want to go inside and get somebody
to eat, you know what I mean? You weren't even inside. No, no,

(38:57):
we're on the outside, dude. You pull to Dave Slater.
Yeah we were way early, way early.

Speaker 3 (39:04):
You gotta find them family entertainment.

Speaker 1 (39:06):
For an hour, yeah, yeah, yeah, and the kids are
already like, let's go. Let's go on my guys, A
game doesn't start for an hour and a half.

Speaker 3 (39:13):
That's on me, you guys like peg leg porker.

Speaker 1 (39:15):
I was like, I made a mistake. I made a mistake, guys,
I made a mistake. And sais all right, all right,
it's cool. So we get inside, we go get some impanadas,
and it's like ten minutes for kickoff and it's probably
fifty degrees. It was cold, and I mean we look
over and drizzle starts coming down. That's right, it starts drizzling.

(39:40):
And the boys were like, all right, let's go to
our seats. I'm my guys, we're not going to stand
in the rain. Like it's not even raining hard, dad,
it's not even raining hard. I was like, absolutely not.
We're not going down in the rain.

Speaker 3 (39:49):
That's where you draw the line.

Speaker 1 (39:50):
We'll stand up here on the concourse. You guys can
stand right there.

Speaker 3 (39:53):
Climb a tree, eat chocolate off the ground, but you're
not going in rain.

Speaker 1 (39:57):
And then Baby Box three starts freaking out about the firework,
so him and the wife go to the bathroom while
the fireworks go off. And I mean right at six
thirty six thirty five, when kickoff is happening, I don't
know what happened, but the wind picked up tremendously.

Speaker 3 (40:14):
It got cold.

Speaker 1 (40:16):
It started howling the wind, and it was freaking cold.
Told you it was so damn cold. That same cold
the night before it might have been forty degrees with
that wind. Dad doesn't do this. And I mean we
are sitting there just freezing, and the boy and you're

(40:38):
up top, so the wind is just hitting you.

Speaker 3 (40:40):
Was he able to boom?

Speaker 1 (40:41):
Bah oh whooa ball bo boh ba ball And he's
like he did boom when they entered it and they
did the starting line, He's like, boom. And then the
first time MESSI touched the ball, boom, I thought it
hurt him and I know he was loud too, and
then everybody and then it just starts raining harder and
the wind is blowing the rain onto the onto the concourse.

Speaker 3 (41:04):
See on the highlights, I thought I saw some precipitation.

Speaker 1 (41:07):
No, it was solid rain. It wasn't precipitation. It was rain.
And the wind is howling and it's so it's forty
degrees and raining. So we're wet.

Speaker 3 (41:14):
Oh my gosh, you guys didn't make it past halftime.

Speaker 1 (41:17):
We are cold.

Speaker 3 (41:18):
Oh my gosh, you guys left early.

Speaker 1 (41:20):
And I mean it was freezing freaking cold, dude, freezing cold,
and I'm just like, what are we doing? I mean,
we are bundled up and the ground is all wet.
You got freaking people just coming out of the stands
and drove. No one wants to be down in their

(41:40):
seats because they're just getting rained on. It's that heavy
and it's that cold. So everybody's piled in behind the
handicapped seats.

Speaker 2 (41:48):
But like, are you keeping other people warm? Like if
it was like a young mom and her.

Speaker 1 (41:53):
Kid, no baby box and baby box two, Well, like
it's the body heat. Is everybody so close together? You
guys are all keeping each other warm like fan wise. No, no.
So they go up right next to the handicap seats
and they're sitting down and they're watching the game. And
the one guy is sitting there so nice, lets them
sit by his seats. Don't worry about it, you know.
I was like, hey, guys, stay down, see you don't
block the view, and he goes, don't worry about it.

They can do whatever they want. I was like, all right, cool.
Then there were so many people in the handicap section.
Oh great, here comes to security. If your seats aren't
right here, if these are not your seats, you got

It's too tall. And the guy's like, no, you guys

(42:35):

Just call him dad that way and er together. So
we watched the first half and it is freezing.

his face when I say we have to leave early.
I called it a l e and I'm like, but,

Speaker 1 (43:50):
He's got to pack up, and the teeth are chattering
on the kids. You can't do it.

Speaker 3 (43:56):

Speaker 1 (43:57):
I'm like, oh my gosh, it's halftime. And I'm like,
do you guys want to leave? No? No, no? And
Babybox two, I'm so cold, and did he lose him?
His shirt is kind of wet from the wind, rain
and the wind blowing. I was like, all right, hey,
old thermia. You think maybe his lip the baby Box

(44:20):
three his lips were blue here and take your mom's bra. So,
being you know, just an idiot, I was like, do

he need say no. Oh.

Speaker 3 (44:30):
I thought you were going to say you had to
buy some Nashville sc sweatshirts.

Speaker 1 (44:33):
And oh, my wife goes, let's go to the gift shop.
I was like, we're not spending one hundreds of dollars, honey,
you want to be drained four hundred dollars. I said,
we're not spending hundreds of dollars on this. Now.

Speaker 3 (44:42):
My dad would wrap us in a trash man.

Speaker 1 (44:43):
That's exactly what I gift shop I said. I said,
we're not going to go buy sweatshirts. We made that
mistake at Wrigleyfield and spent so much damn money because
the wind was blowing in and they were freezing.

Speaker 2 (44:54):
My dad would get us a couple extra napkins from
the concession stands and use him to dry off our
arms to keep his warm ding.

Speaker 1 (44:59):
I was like, do you want my sweatshirt, and thinking
he would say no, it's too bigus. Yeah, I'm like, oh, well, crap,
so your shirtless. So I am short sleeve shirting it,
short sleeve shirting it. It was about eighty watching it
on TV. Oh my god. So then I've got hands

(45:21):
in the pocket. I'm just rocking back and forth.

Speaker 3 (45:23):
Is you and your wife embracing for body heat?

Speaker 1 (45:26):
No, she was holding baby Box three most of the
first half trying to keep him warm. Got it. Then
she placed him on top of the trash can so
he could see the field.

Speaker 3 (45:36):
You guys were using the trash can as a baby change.

Speaker 1 (45:38):
So we used the The trash can is our dinner table, Like,
we had our impanadas on top of the trash can
and we were eating off the trash can because we
weren't going to our damn seats. He too, damn gold
Gotta love it. So then halftime comes and they all
the kids come over and they're talking, and then some
jackass comes and puts a chair right where they were sitting.

(46:00):
So now they got no spot. So the second half
we sat them all on the trash can, all three
of them on the trash can watching the game. That's
not a bad seat, not a bad seat. But they
are shivering, they're chattering, they're they're they're so tired. And
about the sixty fifth minute, I see Baby Box starting

(46:24):
to shake. And he's been the one. I mean, he's
been jumping up and down the whole time the whole game,
screaming and yelling.

Speaker 3 (46:31):
Have you thought about em t services to see if
they have hypothermia?

Speaker 1 (46:34):
I almost went to the medical tent. I brought the
blue tent over, put it over the trash can. I said,
let me examine them. And I said, guys, are we okay?
Or do we want to go? And Baby Box looks
at me and goes, let's go.

Speaker 3 (46:49):
He threw the challenge flag, he threw the he threw
the white flag.

Speaker 1 (46:52):
He was ready to go. So it is still raining though,
and we got like a half a mile walk to
the car.

Speaker 3 (46:58):
Oh my gosh, Dad's got to pull it up.

Speaker 1 (47:00):
And it's cold, it's went And I was like them
walking in the rain and cold, you pulled up the
car is going to they're gonna be so miserable and
they're gonna be so whiny. I must go with on.

Speaker 2 (47:12):
I will stretch out and get us the vehicle and
you kids in safety.

Speaker 1 (47:18):
So we were up two to nothing at this point, yes,
two to nothing, and they we walked down to the
supporter section. I left the kids in the supporter section
and I ran the half mile. You're not good to run, No,
it hurt. Not with your injury. It hurt you. Gotta
bloat out, bladdered you. I gotta bloat out bladder on

(47:38):
the left side. Don't know what's wrong, but I can't
figure it out.

But you were the best option.

Speaker 1 (47:42):
That's it. And we went got the car. I pulled
it up and they got in the car like that
is so cold. It's so cold. And as we're driving away,
fan Messi scores a goal. So we didn't even see

(48:04):

Speaker 3 (48:05):
You saw the wind though.

Speaker 1 (48:06):
Then we got home, pulled up Apple TV and watched
the rest of the game. Good plug and we win,
and Messy and I and in the second half, I
asked baby, I said, hey, are you gonna boo Messy anymore?
And he goes, you can't hear us from this far up.

Speaker 2 (48:25):
How did that feel though? Going back to the house,
the warm house. After that, dude never felt better in
my life. And we shut down the trick or treating
and we went on the couch. I was wrapped up
in blankets because I really did have the chills. I
went to sleep at like eight, Baser said, I didn't

couch six am. No way, slept for ten hours on
the couch, bundled in five blankets. Oh, she goes, you
