Speaker 1 (00:07):
All right, man, Merry Christmas.

Speaker 2 (00:11):
No, no, I hope you had a great Christmas. Man,
Happy New Year? Do you have New Year's Eve plans?

Speaker 1 (00:18):
You know? It's always the thing, maybe off on the temperature,
it's always, Oh, Keith Urban, you got free tickets. We
can always get backstage through Baser's connections, not mine, And
it's always dope, free drinks, free food. But there's always
all I can The next day I gotta work or
it's zero degrees. I'll pass on both accounts.

Speaker 2 (00:38):
You no New Year's I have three kids, man, so
I need to figure out at what age do they
stay up until midnight and start banging pots and pans?
Do kids do that anymore? Because we used to do
that as kids, where you'd run out the streets at
midnight and bing bing bing bing bing bing bing, bang
pots and pans. And I've never I've seen it since

(01:00):
I was a kid. Are we the only ones that
did that?

Speaker 1 (01:04):
Time zone wise?

Speaker 2 (01:05):
Where were central? We were in Austin, Texas, and we
would run out in the streets banging pots and pans.
And I just don't know if people do that anymore.

Speaker 1 (01:16):
Well, I have more of Baser's hair on this sweatshirt.

Speaker 2 (01:19):
Probably because it's her sweatshirt.

Speaker 1 (01:21):
Let me say this, in college, they would drop a
fish in Main Street in Marquette, Michigan. Another time, when
I was in college, my buddy called me. He was
actually hitting on the chick I want to date in
college and he goes, hey, I'm here with her, and
I go awesome, so you're gonna kiss her? Like why
would you flex that you're with the girl I've been

(01:43):
talking to on New Year's Eve? So that was a
great experience. And since I worked in radio, I haven't
stayed up once for New Year's Eve Costa Rica. That
was fourth of July. That was fourth of July. So
I don't really know. I can't answer your question. Maybe
you need to call somebody that burns the midnight oil, Justin.

Speaker 2 (02:03):
But Justin doesn't have kids, he doesn't hang around kids.
I would assume he's at a bar at midnight. I
know my neighbors because I I know my neighbors aren't
gonna like my kids banging pots and pans at midnight.
But I don't really care because the whole point is
for the kid to celebrate, the kids to get that
experience up. Bang bang bang bang, bang bang bang bang

(02:23):
bang bang bang bang bang bang.

Speaker 1 (02:25):
May sound like gunshots, could it's better than fireworks because
it's gonna last for like thirty forty five seconds.

Speaker 2 (02:32):
Then you're gonna go inside.

Speaker 1 (02:34):
And you got to realize a lot of these Pyros,
especially Rednecks where I'm from, they had leftovers from Fourth
of July and they're ready to shoot them off. And
some of them PTSD, some of them ex military. They
think they're bombing Pearl Harbor.

Speaker 2 (02:47):
Also, when you do drive, the fireworks stands are open
for New Year's Like when you drive through these outskirts
of town and outside the city limits, you always see
the stands open fireworks. And I didn't realize how big
fireworks were on New Year's Eve.

Speaker 1 (03:03):
Have you ever driven to my house?

Speaker 2 (03:04):
Yeah, I have.

Speaker 1 (03:05):
You see that big oh fireworks store eight year round.
That's so much Rednecks like shooting off fireworks that think
he doesn't close. Really, you can go get them on
a Monday. You can get them on Friday, Fourth of July.
Waiting line, New Year's Evia Waiting Line. Rednecks love fire
love Pyro, loved their bush light, loved their xenachonies.

Speaker 2 (03:28):
I remember I did a remote out of the fireworks place.

Speaker 1 (03:32):
Me. No.

Speaker 2 (03:33):
When we were in Austin, I know was I with you.
I was a promotions guy. I don't think you were with.

Speaker 1 (03:38):
Me because I know I did the phone with you,
and I know that we did Mother's Window ten.

Speaker 2 (03:42):
We did Mother's Window ten and San Marcus all the time.

Speaker 1 (03:45):
I would drive with you for thirty minutes, which seemed far.

Speaker 2 (03:49):
It seems so far. Let me tell you, San Marcus,
seemed so far to get to that Mother's window tent.
It seemed like it took me forever to get there.

Speaker 1 (03:58):
I would say that was probably one of the farthest
ones I drove to to do a promotions event.

Speaker 2 (04:02):
Oh, I did one in Colleen at a car dealership.
It was an hour and twenty minutes from the station, right,
it was so far and you couldn't even get the
station Like I was. I pull up the truck and
it was back when we had to ship me up
the little the pull to get the reception to play

(04:24):
the radio station over the speaker that's before me. Yeah,
and the station didn't even reach there. So I literally
had nobody, and I mean nobody stopped by because no
one knew we were there, no one could hear us.

Speaker 1 (04:37):
My favorite one. I had to go to a boot store.
So the night before I took the vehicle, don't know
it might have been frowned upon, took the vehicle, took
it to the apartment complex. Mike Miller's like, why do
you have the beat? And I go, sorry, dude, I'm
saving some gas and on me and on the station,
I'm saving the company money. So I parked, which you
could have got broken into. Yeah, and I'd have got
sued and fired and never been in radio. But I

(04:59):
had a promotion vehicle with tons of equipment in the
back walk. Basically it was two blocks away to some
bootstore on a Sunday, turned the station on in the
store and went and sat in the promotions vehicle and
listened to football for three hours and Bob Pickett ran it.
And I was like, dude, that is the easiest promotions
event I've ever worked in my entire life. And I

(05:20):
drove back to my house in the station van and
returned it on Monday, and nobody ever knew about it.

Speaker 2 (05:26):
That's pretty cool.

Speaker 1 (05:27):
I listen to football. I mean, I don't know who
even the were the announcers probably Marv Albert. I don't know,
but it's great, something about listening to the radio getting paid.

Speaker 2 (05:39):
Yeah, And so anyway, I did a remote out at
a fireworks stand. I mean it was east of Austin
on two ninety I believe, heading towards Houston b Caves
now B Caves is west. And I don't know why
I remember this, Maybe because I got the chicks number
that her parents owned the fireworks place. It was like

(06:01):
a grand opening. It was like a brick and mortar
instead of just a stand now, and I got her number.
We went out one time, but then I was just like, no,
that's you live far out you know what I mean, Like,
it's not really worth the hassle. I can go get
a chick on Sixth Street.

Speaker 1 (06:12):
It was cool.

Speaker 2 (06:13):
We made out, no big deal, but I still remember
that night. I don't remember what she looks like, but
I remember getting her number.

Speaker 1 (06:20):
But the event led to hanging out with her or
you just got it at the event. Never saw her again.

Speaker 2 (06:24):
No, No, I went out with her one night, That's
what talk made out. And then I was like, man,
you live far out here. It's just not really that
worth it to drive this far. I mean it's like
thirty five minutes, forty minutes outside of Austin before you
get to past Drop. It was just it was far.
It just wasn't worth it. But I remember getting her number.
It's sort of like the girl that worked the jewelry
counter at Sam's. I made up with her a few

(06:45):
times because no one paid her attention. Like jewelry counter, no.

Speaker 1 (06:49):
One goes and talks to them. What's Sam's Club? But
I worked at Sam's Club? Got it?

Speaker 2 (06:54):
You know, most people are flirting with the cashiers. If
you're a cart guy, you're talking to the cashiers, talking
to the girls in hall, hard lines, soft lines, and grocery.
You walk right by the jewelry counter and that girl
was there by herself with no one to talk to. Man,
I laid it down, had her on my finger.

Speaker 1 (07:10):
There's a Sam's Boat, There's Sam's Bar, and you go
with Sam's Club.

Speaker 2 (07:16):
Sorry, bro, I thought it was obvious.

Speaker 1 (07:19):
It's the third of the cool Sam's. Yeah, there's Sam's
Sam's Place.

Speaker 2 (07:25):
Yeah, I didn't. I didn't think about that. That's my fault.
There's a lot of Sam's.

Speaker 1 (07:28):
I just assumed the club ray the club of Sam's.

Speaker 2 (07:32):
When you're talking about meating hot chicks. How would you
not know I'm talking about Sam's Club man.

Speaker 1 (07:38):
Those are remotes we gotta We always say we got
to bring them back.

Speaker 2 (07:42):
God, they were such easy money, dude, Why don't we
do them anymore? COVID killed him with Abby.

Speaker 1 (07:47):
I was the talent at one of them. We went
to some furniture store, sat on mattresses, gave out a
couple things, took some pictures. I was two seconds away
from taking a nap, and got paid a talent. Then
when we first moved here, Oh, the bed's real comfy. Yeah,
I'll do a video, Abby, Thanks next time. Nudge me.
When the guy's coming over.

Speaker 2 (08:09):
The sales girl comes to me, it's like, hey, would
you mind doing a remote at a furniture store. I said, yeah,
that's great. She goes, all right, it's gonna be on
Wednesday at six pm. It's going to be the grand
opening and it's at this furniture store. Gives me the address.
I'm like great, and I drive there on a Wednesday,

(08:30):
get there at like five forty five. I'm Mike. I
look in the windows. I'm like, well, this doesn't look ready.
They don't have furniture in there. They have the sign
on the wall, but they don't have there's no one
in there. Great start, and I called the salesgirl. I'm like, hey,
where she goes, I'm about to pull in. I'm about
to pull in. I'm like, pull in where she goes

(08:51):
at the furniture store.

Speaker 1 (08:52):
Pull up?

Speaker 2 (08:53):
You know, I'm pulling up. I'll be there. I'm like, well,
there's there's no furniture store here. Just what do you mean?
I said, they barely have any furniture in there. There's
no way this place is opening liquidation. She goes, I'll
be right there. She pulls up, pull up, and there's
no balloons or anything like a celebration like it's supposed
to be a grand opening. There's no one there.

Speaker 1 (09:14):
Looks like a morgue. Yeah, it looks like a freaking
abandoned building. Brings some cheer, and she calls the lady says, hey,
you know we're out here for the grand opening. She goes, Oh,
I forgot to tell you.

Speaker 2 (09:27):
Construction ran a little long, so we're a month behind.

Speaker 1 (09:32):
Well but wait, they still wanted the event or they
didn't communicate.

Speaker 2 (09:35):
They're like, we forgot to tell you that we did
moving back.

Speaker 1 (09:38):
That is an amazing remote.

Speaker 2 (09:42):
So yeah, we want to redo that in a month
from now, like sorry, I must that must have slipped
my mind with so much going on with the construction
being delayed and getting all the furniture set up and
cool man, that was awesome. Thanks, what a great remote.

Speaker 1 (09:55):
Freaking a remote in Austin. It was a country music festival,
but it was at iHeart and it wasn't a well
known one.

Speaker 2 (10:03):
It was.

Speaker 1 (10:05):
Casey Donahue band.

Speaker 2 (10:06):
Okay, I've heard of.

Speaker 1 (10:07):
Them, maybe George Burge heard of him back before he
was on the scene. And so it's in a park,
is what I wanted to say. It's like a oh
it's at a Waterloo park. Yes, yep, I know you're talking.
Awesome venue, great, and so it's understood that, oh you
can go hand out stuff and you can pretty much
go see the whole crowd handout crap. And you know
it's not like you're going to hand out it to

(10:27):
an entire arena, you know what I mean, right right?

Speaker 2 (10:31):
No, I get it.

Speaker 1 (10:31):
Yeah, So I mean you're just you're just gonna go
off right over and there, and you know, how could
you get you know, you just go for like a minute. Well,
I go walking and I think, yeah, it was texting
in my buddy South Beach's girlfriend was there with her
two co workers, like and they go, hey, we're here.
Are you here? And I go, yeah, I'll come chill
with y'all. I was probably supposed to be gone for like

(10:54):
ten minutes, and I could have been around the whole park.
I was up there for an hour. I had a
bush latte, I was talking with the girls. I was
in a remote T shirt. I look like a tool,
but I was hanging out in the Texas Sun. Didn't
hand out any of the pamphlets I was supposed to
hand out, and I come back buzzed.

Speaker 2 (11:14):
An hour later.

Speaker 1 (11:15):
That is a remote.

Speaker 2 (11:18):
Well.

Speaker 1 (11:19):
I may have just set him on a table and
people could just go and pick them up as they
walked by.

Speaker 2 (11:23):
Yeah, you know what happened at one of our remotes
is at Element fifth and Levodka, and you know you
have the table there. I'm doing the live on the air.

Speaker 1 (11:31):
What we're a fifth in Levoka Element you better pull
up two dollars.

Speaker 2 (11:39):
Eleven shooters.

Speaker 1 (11:41):
Hey, women, get in free, give me a quick double
real quick to suck guys free before ten five dollars
after that, come on out, We're an element. Give me
two shooters and one to suck. Well.

Speaker 2 (11:54):
The girls working the table, I guess they were getting
some drinking dreams from the guy bartender's flirting with them.
Oh yeah, and they dropped the station vehicle off. And
maybe she didn't even drop the station vehicle off. Maybe
she decided to drive it back to San Marcus.

Speaker 1 (12:08):
The workers, yeah, remote, yeah, the promotions in turns and
she got pulled over on thirty five. About to get
pulled over, ma'am.

Speaker 2 (12:20):
Do you know why I pulled you over this evening? No, officer,
I don't. You were kind of hugging that yellow line.
I'm sorry, would you would you like to step out
of the vehicle.

Speaker 1 (12:28):
I'm just kidding you waiting? You were playing the wrong
radio station. I'm a huge country music van. Yeah you
have ninety six seven on your van. I say case
one on one for line. Yeah, you know what, you
have a case van. I'm all about mixed ninety four
point seven. Why are you driving kiss around here? Actually?

Speaker 2 (12:48):
I pulled you over because I wonder if you had
a free T shirt. Oh you know, I heard you
guys advertise on the radio the movie passes to scream too.
Do you think I could get a pair of those?
That's why I pulled you over.

Speaker 1 (13:01):
That would have been awesome if that was it.

Speaker 2 (13:02):
That was it, But it wasn't it. It turned out
he pulled her over because she was hugging the yellow line.
Then a performed a field sobriety test and she did
not pass.

Speaker 1 (13:15):
Oh that's not gonna look good on Monday morning.

Speaker 2 (13:19):
So she got cuffed and stuffed and she lost her
job as a promotions intern at the radio station.

Speaker 1 (13:27):
Please tell me that you weren't encouraging her to have
a drink.

Speaker 2 (13:32):
I don't know that I asked her to have a drink.
I don't know that. I think the guy bartenders were like, hey, come,
I have a shot. You want a shot?

Speaker 1 (13:38):
Got it?

Speaker 2 (13:39):
But she parlayed that into being a beer tub girl
at Element. She was no longer a promotions in turn,
so she worked at Element and she would hand out beers.
How you want a beer, beer, beer, beer, and then
smashed cut. Three weeks later, one of my my boys

Speaker 2 (14:51):
That's the beer what what do you call it? The

Speaker 1 (14:53):
Continue? And hey, jugs throwing me one of the cans.

Speaker 1 (15:08):
He's rolling up in his grocery store, Apron, Is he

He was pulling up at the grocery store at sixteen Man.
And so she comes and she was a show of
intern of the Big Show.

Speaker 1 (15:43):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (15:43):
And so she comes in on Monday shows, Hey, what's
up with your boy? Like which one? She goes? Nick,
what's up your boy? He got a girl?

Speaker 1 (15:53):
I was like, Now, she goes, Dude, he is so hot.
Tell him to come to Element. I want to meet him.

Speaker 2 (15:58):
So that whole week I'm telling Nick, I'm like, yo, dude,
you got to come.

Speaker 1 (16:03):
I'm sure you were helping him out. Actually you do
help al bros. My bad.

Speaker 2 (16:06):
Take dude, take that back. Beer girl thought you were hot.
You got to come back Friday. I'll introduce you. He's like,
all right, dude, I'm in, I'm in, I'm in. Then
Thursday rolls around, He's like, bro, you better not be
messing with me. Like, if I show up and she
did not want to meet me, I'm gonna be so pissed.
I might dude, she all she did was talking about

(16:29):

all right, I'll be there. So Garrett and them roll
up and we get some drinks. I'm like, dude, go
get a beer from her, and he goes, Dude, I
feel like you're messing with me. I feel like you're
messing with me. I might that blonde over there wants you, dude,
She wants you the.

Speaker 1 (16:45):
Boy who cried, well, if you mess with people too
much so he didn't know you were being a genuinely
good guy.

Speaker 2 (16:49):
Exactly. I do. I screw with people. I screw with
people all the time. I tell them what they want
to hear. I tell them fake things and then get
their hopes up and then crush their dreams. He's like,
if I go over there and she acts like she
has no idea what I'm talking about, I'm gonna I'm
gonna be pissed. And he went over there and started
talking to her. Smash cut. Fifteen years later, they're married

(17:09):
to kids.

Speaker 1 (17:10):
No, Yeah, let's go, that's go, that's the ending we needed.
Let's go. Those dumb memes that are going around gifts
you see it on Instagram. No, if if it's so popular.

Speaker 2 (17:23):
I know you're talking about. I know what you're talking
about it. I know you're talking about.

Speaker 1 (17:25):
If a guy comes up to you and at Gregrocery
starting offers to carry your cart, let him, Or if
you're invited to a backyard party you should go. Have
you seen those? It's all the same one the one
I saw. If your girlfriends invite you to a backyard
house party in college, you should probably go, and then
it shows you with the guy and you're married.

Speaker 2 (17:47):
With the two I have seen the two I have seen.

Speaker 1 (17:49):
It is so stupid. I'm like, stop, stop. I don't
know who the girl's brother is. Maybe nuss Meyer from LSU,
the quarterback mm hmm. She says, when you're annoying, brother
tells you you should meet one of his teammates when
they're in college together and then smash cut and then

(18:11):
you start hanging out and then you should listen to him.
He has your best interest in mind. Nah.

Speaker 2 (18:17):
And the other one I saw was a girl with
a picture with Jake Owen. And it's like when your
company says, hey, we need you to go work to
Jake Owen concert tonight because so and so playing got
delayed and so you need to represent the company and
you're the only one that can make it. You're like, Oh,
you shouldn't just roll your eyes. You should go because
then this is where you're gonna meet him, and then

(18:38):
he's gonna ask you out, and then we're gonna have
a baby. So when work asks you to go do something,
just go do it.

Speaker 1 (18:45):
Wait it was Jake Owen.

Speaker 2 (18:46):
No, it was some girl that worked for the record label.

Speaker 1 (18:49):
Oh it's I love it. It's romantic. I get it.
Our old one of the girls used to work here.
She did one. If you're invited to the backyard house
party that you don't want to go to, say yet.

Speaker 2 (19:02):
The reason I think was that.

Speaker 1 (19:05):
The reason I say it's ridiculous because now people are
gonna go in backyards. Oh I gotta go party. You
never know, and I can meet mister Wright. You would
have probably met the dude some other time at a
frat party or a sorority party. That wasn't the one
chance you had to meet the person.

Speaker 2 (19:20):
I'm gonna do one, and I'm gonna say when you're
at a neighborhood party and your wife encourages you to
have one more shot, bad idea, because then you end
up with three of these, and I'm gonna show my
three kids.

Speaker 1 (19:32):
There you go.

Speaker 2 (19:33):
That's funny or mine.

Speaker 1 (19:35):
When your buddy comes to town and he tells you
to tender some chicks down on Broadway, you should probably
agree to tender the chicks and go play games at
their apartment and then ditch him at the bar. And
then when your buddy leaves town, you should ask him, hey,
give me that one blonde number, And when he gives
you her number, you should probably text her, and even
though she doesn't respond for six hours, you should text

(19:57):
her again. And this mash cut me in bays in
the country.

Speaker 2 (20:00):
Boom.

Speaker 1 (20:01):
Guys, just stop stop with those just stop.

Speaker 2 (20:04):
We'll take a break. We'll right back. Then we got
to start the show. We're twenty minutes in. We haven't
even started it. They have no idea what's going on?
All right, we're gonna do you do you realize that
we are like two and a half weeks away from
the convention.

Speaker 1 (20:21):
You are looking live at the convention twenty twenty six.

Speaker 2 (20:27):
Sore loser, man, It's gonna be amazing.

Speaker 1 (20:51):
Here's a tip of the pants right here, and it's
to you and your wife. New stuff. Every year you
come to a convention. You're not gonna be going schlip
faced in Vegas. You're not gonna be on some tractor

of the cap. That is a pull my pants off

Speaker 2 (21:19):
Yeah, man, we try. We kept saying, oh, we gotta
do something different. They don't want the same activities they like,
they're gonna get bored. People aren't gonna come. And I'm
just glad to say that people are coming. We got
some new activities and we're just doing it different. We
try to do it different every year, and I know
it's hard. It's around the holidays. It's a money is tight.

(21:40):
That's why we have the payment plans. You can pay
it off later, pay it slowly month by month. You
start marking it off. I mean, we don't charge you interest.
Come on, guys, it is loosers dot com.

Speaker 1 (21:51):
It is one of those things. And I hate to
really pull it the heartstrings, but you you go the
whole year and you look at your wife, you look
at your husband, you look at your boyfriend. Guys either
have a boyfriend or girlfriend, wife or husband, whatever. You
look at your husband. Let's just play that card. Guys,

(22:12):
you look at your husband.

Speaker 2 (22:13):
Got it?

Speaker 1 (22:13):
And you say, what did we do this year? You
want the tent pole moment. We went to the convention.
It was awesome. That was something we did. When I
look at Beazer, I say, what did we do this year?
We went on one trip, but actually I went to Detroit,
so I went on to maybe her Baser went on

(22:34):
one trip and it was two Jamaica. Okay, she went
on two trips. She went to Jamaica and she went
to where did we go?

Speaker 2 (22:44):
Fourth of July?

Speaker 1 (22:46):
Cancoon, Florida, Cabo Dominican?

Speaker 2 (22:53):
Where did we go? Miami?

Speaker 1 (22:55):
It was forgetting Miami.

Speaker 2 (22:57):
It was a good one. It was tired, it was
a rough one.

Speaker 1 (23:00):
We have those moments during the year, and we started
off in January sixteen, seventeen, eighteen nineteen. Look it up.
It should be those dates where you say we did
something this year. It's something you look back on when
you're later in life. And if you're a listener and
you're later in life and as you're passing, you'll look
back on it.

Speaker 2 (23:17):
I mean, here's the thing. You're gonna look back and
be like, did I have any experiences? That is what
life is about. It's about experiences. When I was washing
my left armpit, I didn't know that people were gonna
become lifelong friends from this convention. I had no idea

(23:40):
these people would like each other. It could have been
a total disaster.

Speaker 1 (23:45):
But that wasn't the backbone bone or the blueprint to
a successful convention. Then you brought on your friends and
we made it successful.

Speaker 2 (23:52):
Right, And we're gonna do Happy does Nashville. I mean,
what doesn't scream good convention unless you're saying Happy does Nashville.

Speaker 1 (23:59):
And what I'm hearing, we're doing a little opry Land.
There is Midtown stuff, there is Galt stuff, and there's Broadway.
It's everything you were gonna see the city this convention.

Speaker 2 (24:13):
Yeah, it's gonna be great. And I mean there's first
timers coming like people are like, oh, I've never been.
Oh my gosh, I can't go for the first time now,
Sean Morris, he said, I'm coming, never been, Wesley just
never been, first timer. I mean it's great.

Speaker 1 (24:27):
What about Bo knows he needs to come. He's promoted
his podcast enough on our page.

Speaker 2 (24:32):
Oh uh, may brothers they don't ever come? Well?

Speaker 1 (24:36):
I mean, can we have a little distribution of wealth
and generosity?

Speaker 2 (24:41):
I mean I would like for him to come. Drive
in with his brother PEPSI man and they should be here.
But I don't know. It's gonna be great. But we
gotta start the show because they're not gonna know anything
about it.

Speaker 1 (24:51):
We are gonna do it live. We oh the one two?
They're so loser.

Speaker 2 (25:01):
What up, everybody? I am lunchbox. I know the most
about sports, so I give you the sports facts, my
sports opinions because I'm pretty much a sports genius.

Speaker 1 (25:10):
What up, y'all? It is Sison. I'm from the North.
I'm in Alpha Male. I live on the North side
of Nashville with Bayser, my wife two point three three
three three three two three three three two three acres.
We got two kids at Vanderbilt, probably defrosting in the
electrophysiology unit, and I'll most likely die of a heart
attack when I'm seventy two and a half unless there
is some break in modern medicine and there isn't another

(25:33):
COVID variant.

Speaker 2 (25:34):
Coach over to you. Yeah, I'm just trying to look
at see. Uh. There were some other first timers that posted,
and I just I can't find them right now, man,
So I apologize. I was trying to give some more
shout outs to people that said they're the first timers coming. Uh,
but it's gonna be great. I don't even know Calloway's coming.

Speaker 1 (25:51):
Well, if he does, he could win Comeback Player of
the Year or the guy that had throat cancer. Right,
it's a toss up, I would say right now there,
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (26:01):
If Leya comes back, Lava Jesse Lava. Yeah, if he
comes back, he might get Comeback Player of the Year
because after what happened last year, he might he might
make it.

Speaker 1 (26:13):
Got drunk, broke up with his chick, passed out in
a chair. Some Philadelphia chicks revived him. Last thing I
know is he asked me if I want to do
a tequila shot and I said I couldn't because of
the big show.

Speaker 2 (26:24):
Wow that's good, Yeah, that's good. I mean I don't know.

Speaker 1 (26:27):
Hey, I got a strict six drink limit, Baser and Bertoki,
you're coming, right, Bertoki and her friends. That's why there
was that whole.

Speaker 2 (26:37):
Is Bertoki's husband coming again?

Speaker 1 (26:39):
I believe. So it's a group because they needed the
air mattress. We're storing an air mattress at our house.

Speaker 2 (26:43):
So I understand.

Speaker 1 (26:44):
I eleven months for this damn convention.

Speaker 2 (26:46):
I didn't know if that meant her husband was coming,
her fish just the girl she's bringing.

Speaker 1 (26:50):
A posse man?

Speaker 2 (26:52):
Yeah? Did they listen to the pot? Are they just
coming for the party?

Speaker 1 (26:56):
The Bertoki does Some of the people you're gonna realize
that they can don't even listen to it. And that's fine.
It's a community, and we get the signage they've done
it beforeward it says sore losers convention, and the whole
convention is mass confusion. Most people really don't know what
it is. To find it, as you will, it's a
coaches getting together.

Speaker 2 (27:15):
I forgot to tell you. I'm glad you said that,
because we coached nothing and ray over Thanksgiving I told
you I had to take a baby box two to
the urgent care because he had strap. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (27:26):
What's the follow up?

Speaker 2 (27:27):
Oh, the follow up is I was wearing this sweatshirt
right here that says sore Losers and on the back
it says Coaches Convention.

Speaker 1 (27:34):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (27:34):
And the nurse that shoved the thing so far up
his nose it caused a nosebleed. He saw in the
back of my sweatshirt. He goes, oh, man, what what
do you guys? What do you coach? And I said, oh, nothing, cheerlading, nothing,
And he goes, it says coaches Convention on your sweatshirt.

(27:54):
So I just thought i'd ask, and I said, well,
I coached my kids and use sports, but the convention,
we really coach nothing. It's just a joke. And he goes,
I don't get the joke. Is it funny? And I
said no, no, we do a podcast. He goes, oh, okay,
you do a podcast about coaches? Got it? And I
was just like, all right, I give up.

Speaker 1 (28:14):
What are the two funniest things you could say? If
somebody says, what do you coach? Not funny but football,
you feel pretty ba If you're a football coach life coach,
and you're out drinking. I'm a life coach.

Speaker 2 (28:27):
What the life coach not bad?

Speaker 1 (28:28):
You're on your third drink.

Speaker 2 (28:30):
Life coach is not a bad one.

Speaker 1 (28:31):
These guys are just getting slobbed and they're life coaches.

Speaker 2 (28:35):
Next time, Hey, hey, calay, Hey is that? What are you?

Speaker 1 (28:39):
A coach of life coach? Just hammered because it's obvious
these life coaches are. They believe there's stuff more than
you really probably should.

Speaker 2 (28:48):
Yeah, they just make stuff up. They're not real real
right now their own Yeah fifty fifty three, you have
to bleep that, You have to bleep that. But yeah,
I mean, I just thought it was really funny, and
this made me remember that. It made me remember the
time the guy I'm mistook in me for a coach
and he got mad when I wasn't really a coach,
so he shoved the thing up my son's nose and
made it bleed. And I was gonna say, day one's

(29:09):
made some great sweatshirts, by the way, they are very nice.

Speaker 1 (29:12):
That and there's been some other stuff leak out that
I have seen that it looks awesome. That's different from
previous years.

Speaker 2 (29:17):
Different from previous years or I saw him home with
something really cool.

Speaker 1 (29:21):
Didn't you hear the other day somebody said, oh yeah,
your convention was awesome, like a year after the fact.

Speaker 2 (29:26):
Yeah yeah. Someone in the building, you know, just like
randomly is like, hey, uh, you guys' convention looked really good.
You guys doing that again? Huh?

Speaker 1 (29:36):
What it was eleven months ago?

Speaker 2 (29:38):
The pictures they look like you guys had a good time.
You guys should do that again. Thanks. The next one's
coming up in a few weeks. I don't know why
you're just now acting like you saw the pictures. Did
the pictures pop up from your memories, like, oh memory, No,
you just had nothing to talk to me about, so
you just acted like you saw these pictures of something
that happened to eleven months ago. You know, the pictures

(30:00):
are awesome, but geez ridiculous.

Speaker 1 (30:03):
Like one of Baser's ex friends, Oh yeah, she goes, Oh, well,
I was gonna tell you I can after the break.

Speaker 2 (30:10):
After the break, we'll take a break. I want to
hear all about it right after this, tell me about.

Speaker 1 (30:14):
It, speaking of eleven months too late. So Baser went
through cancer and we're out at the bar a year
later and that girl ended up being there. We're all
kind of talking, and she goes, it was twenty eighteen,
seven years cancer free, and she go the girl that
we hadn't talked to in a minute, she goes, hey,
just see, I've just cancer just is like so terrifying.

(30:37):
So like, I just I didn't want to reach out
to you during that time period. I just I'm so sorry.
I just I just I know you didn't hear from me,
and it like maybe wasn't the best way for me
to handle it, but I just I just I just
am affected. Sometimes it made me sad, So I didn't
even want to reach out to you. Yeah, we've never

(30:58):
talked to her again.

Speaker 2 (30:59):
Yeah, yeah, not really the best strategy, man, not really
the best strategy, Like.

Speaker 1 (31:03):
The weirdest thing eleven months later to address somebody about
second to only the convention, eleven months after the fact.

Speaker 2 (31:12):
I mean, hey, you know, I know your dog died
a year ago. I just didn't want to reach out
because I know that can be a sensitive time. I
just wanted you to be able to heal on your own.
I wanted you to I didn't want to let you
know that I'm here for you, that you could you know,
cry on my shoulder and we could grab coffee. No,
I just thought I would leave you alone and let
you deal with that, so I don't have to get
any of that baggage and I don't have to have

(31:33):
my life saddened by that. But we can still be
best friends, right. We were like, that's a weird approach.

Speaker 1 (31:39):
Unfollow on socials, delete on Facebook, and smell you never.

Speaker 2 (31:45):
All right, so that friend's never been out to the country.

Speaker 1 (31:47):
Huh no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Yeah,
it's crazy.

Speaker 2 (31:53):
That's a weird It.

Speaker 1 (31:54):
Was a bizarre one, man. That's why it struck a
chord when you said, eleven months after the fat hey
saw the picks looked great? What that was in January?
It's freaking December.

Speaker 2 (32:05):
Yeah, man, how come you didn't give me comments on
it when it actually happened, you know what I mean?
Like that would have been nice, Like, hey, man, saw
you guys did this over the weekend? Really cool? No,
it just popped up in your feet eleven months later.
Doubt it. Oh, maybe he saw the sizzle reel. Maybe
he saw the sizzle reel that we just posted. I
don't know.

Speaker 1 (32:23):
Probably not. It only got about out a thousand views.

Speaker 2 (32:26):
Oh well maybe yeah, I don't know. Ray, maybe oh viral.
Maybe he's nine hundred and ninety nine of those views.
Maybe he watched it over and over again and had fomo.

Speaker 1 (32:34):
Like most of our stuff, it didn't go very viral,
so it's not likely that he saw it eleven months
after the fact, Ray my Spider Man video went viral.

Speaker 2 (32:43):
Ah, no, it didn't really go that viral.

Speaker 1 (32:45):
Man, No one went viral. Quarter of a million? Me
hung over my living room? Is that lunchbox on the
TV at Beth Page? I just start recording it ends.

Speaker 2 (32:54):
Up being heared that was that that did go a
little bit viral. I mean, it makes no sense.

Speaker 1 (32:58):
I wasn't even gonna do the video.

Speaker 2 (33:00):
Explain it to me. Why does that one get so
many views? And like you see freaking Toby McGuire, not
Toby McGuire, Tom Holland, and it gets like twenty views.

Speaker 1 (33:09):
I mean, you and Julio didn't go viral, yeah, Julio, Julio, Oh.

Speaker 2 (33:14):
We don't have that anymore.

Speaker 1 (33:15):
Mm oh, a little surprise for.

Speaker 2 (33:20):
You, Julio. Welcome tightens up, Baby, tighten up. Welcome to Nashville, Baby.
How you Doingsapa sell you real quick man, man.

Speaker 1 (33:30):
You ain't seen any Titans players. You usually bring us.
You brought us to Julio. You went at the game,
d hop.

Speaker 2 (33:36):
I have not seen another Titans player. You will leave us?
Oh I did have, will leave us a racetrack at
the Ally four hundred to Ali four hundred. And I
had Taja Spears and DeAndre Sweat at the softball game
this year. They were the honorary coaches. They didn't play,

(33:57):
and one guy in the front row was yelling at
Taj Taj, I got you in Dynasty. You're gonna give
me a lot of points this year. And he comes
over and he goes what He goes, do I need
to keep you or should I trade you away? How
many points are you gonna get me this year? And
Taj goes, don't you worry, I'm gonna get you a
ton of points this year. Smash cut like a week

(34:17):
later he got hurt and was out like five weeks.

Speaker 1 (34:20):
Yeah, he didn't do much this year injury though.

Speaker 2 (34:22):
I guess, well, hey, Tony Pollard, you know he didn't
do much either. The old Titan's team didn't do very
much this year.

Speaker 1 (34:28):
Pollard's good again, though, Hey, where's Ridley? He got hurt?

Speaker 2 (34:32):
Oh? He towards Aco.

Speaker 1 (34:34):
I don't know if it was a tear. It wasn't
a Patty Mahomes or Parsons.

Speaker 2 (34:37):
But I forgot all about him. I forgot he was
hitting on the Titan. Did they trade and no, they
didn't trade him.

Speaker 1 (34:41):
No, No, he's chilling in Nashville. He's just not on
the field.

Speaker 2 (34:44):
Man. So maybe I've seen him and I just don't
even know it. I don't know. All right, You ready
to get out of here? Man?

Speaker 1 (34:51):
I mean I could have given you better answers, But dude,
I checked out on that team about mid season. I
was like, what is this flaming pile of dog turn?

Speaker 2 (34:58):
What a weird feeling? Oh to give up on your
team midseason?

Speaker 1 (35:01):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (35:01):
I know it about it every year because the Bears
are usually there. But not this year, babeay, not this year.

Speaker 1 (35:06):
You guys are getting wax in the playoffs.

Speaker 2 (35:09):
Dude, what if that's the game we watch at the
watch party?

Speaker 1 (35:13):
Why would you want that? You know how many people
would be messing with you.

Speaker 2 (35:16):
A lot, and you know how good it will feel
when the Bears win and I can feel vindicated because think.

Speaker 1 (35:23):
About it, whatever we have the Chiefs on, everybody was
rooting against Brother God and Rosanna.

Speaker 2 (35:28):
I'm oh, oh my gosh, Buddy Glass, Oh my gosh,
we need to do a welfare check on your wife. Dude,
I forgot all about it. She is not used to this, buddy.
I hope you are taking it easy on her because
I know she would never talk trash to you. She
would never be disrespectful when the Chiefs beat the Bills.
So I'm hoping that you have been nothing but nice
and kind to her. Oh my gosh, wow, I forgot

(35:50):
all about that. What a good time, hey man, Happy

The Burden

The Burden

The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
