Speaker 1 (00:01):
I started it.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
You did all right, here we go, man, I'm gonna
tell you what, man, it is. Back we are back.
Speaker 1 (00:07):
School is back.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Back back back back back back back back back back
back back back back. I can't believe school has already started.
It's so weird that they start so early here in
the great state of Tennessee.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
WHOA, Your mic is so jacked up? What do you
mean You're like pencil fin.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
I don't know what to do. Is there some buttons?
Speaker 1 (00:32):
Yo? Am?
Speaker 2 (00:33):
I back? Thank you? So let's go back. Let's go
to back and talk about how crazy it is that
this great state of Tennessee has started school already. When
I talked to Garrett down in Texas, in the Austin
Independent School District does not start school until August nineteenth,
(00:56):
so we are talking two weeks. We got out an
extra two weeks this summer vacation. I don't understand why
we start so early. I would rather them start on
August nineteenth, not have a fall break, and not have
just random days off throughout the year because we get
out of school at the same time as Austin. I'm
(01:16):
ninety nine percent sure Flugerville doesn't go back till next week. Guys,
just stick with me. It's just frustrating that my kid
goes back to school on August fifth. It's like, where
is the summer vacation.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
You're seem like you're on their team, the kid's team.
Parents want them back in school.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
I understand them going back to school. I want them
to get an education, Yes I do.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
Ryan, they can't defend themselves.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
But what I don't want. I don't want to take
away their summer.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
But you know why they do it. Why for the
tractor operators?
Speaker 2 (01:52):
They what tractor? I can't hear them. I don't hear
any tractors I do.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
In fact, they need their kids for these important two
weeks to harvest the crops, and so once they're done harvesting,
get them back in school. You're a city slicker.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
Maybe that's what it is. Maybe I'm out of touch
and I want my kid to be at home for
a little bit longer. But let me tell you, the
first day of school is one of the most magical
things in the world, positive and negative, because the kids
are excited, they're nervous everything. I mean, my oldest baby
Box he got a postcard this past weekend from his
(02:30):
first grade teacher Arnold sent him that saying, Hey, can't
wait to have you in my class. Looking forward to
a great year. You know, signed it Miss Radcliffe. Awesome.
The night before school started, guess what he did with
that postcard.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
Returned it to sender.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
Thumb tacked it to his bed. Dude, is all in
super pumped. Gotta give it the teacher credit. That's sentimental.
That is sentimental and so creative. It's so creative.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
I thought it was a long lost lover of mine
from Austin.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
No I knew it wasn't. But he gets it in
the mail and it's just like you want to talk
about getting a kid excited, like like looking forward to school.
That teacher absolutely nailed it.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
I need to send your kid a postcard.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
Nailed it. Cousin Andrew sent the boys a postcard from Cooperstown,
New York, from the Hall of Fame, and they got
it on Friday, and it said, Hey, boys, I was
just at the you know, Baseball Hall of Fame. It's
a big museum where they have old bats and gloves,
and I saw people like Ernie Banks and Babe Ruth stuff.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
Man, you're gonna see Peter Rose and he said.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Maybe one day, I'll see your bat and glove here
in the Hall of Fame. And the boys are like
across the street at the good Will, they said, he
said in Cooperstown, and my boys were like, wait, they
can take our bat and glove and put it there.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Yeah, from Little League.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
I said, yes, if you're good enough, if you play,
and you're one of the greatest baseball players to ever
play the game.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
Kid, one time they retired one of my condoms.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
Kid, No, no, they didn't do that. And so the
first day of school and then here here's another cool thing.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
I was a part of the Black Sox. Kid, We're
the ones that started BETONAM Baseball. There's a documentary about it.
That's a great movie, Black Socks.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
I don't know what you're talking about.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
It is one for the record books.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Is it a documentary? No, just called black Socks.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Yeah, just google it, man, hit it into Gemini, give
it a little AI. I don't know. Tell Surrey.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
I just go to the search bar on my TV
and then I type it in and tells me what
service it's on. It's pretty genius freaking thing. Instead of
googling it on the internet, you just go to your
TV and type it in. Yeah, our TV has been freezing.
Baser says, we have too many connected so what do
we do?
Speaker 1 (04:54):
Turn it off? I gonna sit for five minutes smart watch,
black screen.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
I mean I haven't watched TV. I mean I guess
I watched thirty minutes. Last night. I watched one episode
of Always Sonny in Philadelphia. I think we're on season eight.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
Ray it wasn't sunny that day?
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Yea, the episode was Scott a dumb. They go out
to dinner and there they all happen to be at
the same restaurant, not sitting at the same table. It
wasn't that funny. I was like, Okay, this episode wasn't
that good, but the show overall is good. But anyway,
back to the first day of school. So then the
kindergarten teacher, Miss Curry. You know what she gave the
kids on Meet the Teacher Day three point shot. She
(05:28):
gave him a folder and a charm bracelet, and you
got to pick out your charms.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
Okay, Travis Kelcey.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
And Baby Box two picked out one soccer one and
two basketball ones. Because you got to pick out three.
They only had one soccer one, so he would have
got all soccer if he could.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
She's like, I don't have the soccer charm. It's not
really popular in America.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
No, it's super popular, and you guys just are overestimating
how popular soccer is. So then she also gave him
a folder and in that folder man with some magical stars,
and it had a poem attached to it, and it
was like the night before school, everything is ready to go.
Your backpack is packed, your clay clothes are laid out,
(06:12):
and then it goes into like, oh, and you may
get some jittery feelings in your stomach because you're a
little nervous. But these magical stars, you sprinkle them under
your pillow and it will make you have magical dreams,
so you'll wake up rested and ready for a great
year ahead. And I'm gonna sprinkle some under my pillow too.
Can't wait to start kindergarten with you. Did you bring
(06:33):
any of them in? No? I should have. And I
was like, this is what it's all about, And I mean,
you want to talk about making him so happy. He
had a whole bag of stars, but he's like, Dad,
I'm only gonna put two under my pillow because I
want to save them for throughout the year. Then he
gave a star to little brother and a star to
(06:53):
older brother to put under their pillow.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
Gave a star to you in case you get nervous
for the big.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Show last night.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
See, I don't get nervous during your bonehead.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Story of the day last night. He did give a
star to my wife and I. He said, I want
you guys to each have a star. You can safely
put it in the trash. Absolutely not. It is under
my pillow.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
You don't do a pillow flip. You don't do a
pillow under the hips. No.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
I lay right on my pillow and I don't move. Dude,
that pillow doesn't move anywhere. I'm telling you because you
know what kids will do. They will go check the
next day, the day after the day after that to
see if you put the star under your pillow. When
he gets home from school today, I guarantee you he's
looking in our room to see if the stars under
our pillow.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
I never got nervous today.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
I did your bonehead story of the day.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
No.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
So, then the first day of school, they ride bikes
to school and he wears his little charm bracelet because
he wants to show the teacher how much he loves it.
He's so excited.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
Well, teacher got him decked out like there's went to
a Taylor Swift concert.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
Correct, And I'll hang up and listen.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
Not a fan.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
You didn't hang up?
Speaker 1 (08:04):
Great, that one's not plugged in. Not a fan. I'll
hang up and listen.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
There you go. So we're sitting there, and then yesterday
after school, the kindergarteners get out at eleven thirty. They
have a half day the first two days and Baby
Box two's little buddy that's in his class. His parents
don't have they can't come get him, so he has
to come to our house. So we got two kindergarteners
fresh off their first day at the house, just wrecking shop,
(08:31):
playing tennis in the front yard, playing bad minton, hitting
tennis balls into the street, running out in front of cars.
I mean, it's you're chaos. There's games strewn across.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
All over the floor there.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
They got bottles of water on the front porch, playing.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
Bowling, oh kid bud lights.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
I mean, they are having the time of their life
and they're like wanting to do everything and anything. Then
we had an incident. Baby Boxes Baby Box two's buddy.
He swung open the door bam, cracked himself in the head,
shock her gushing blood and I'm like, I we're in
(09:09):
the kitchen. I hear and I'm like, what what? And
he comes in and he's got blood just streaming down
his face. I'm like, oh my gosh, first day at kindergarten.
His parents send him to our house because he needs
somewhere to go for two days. And he's gonna go
(09:31):
home with stitches. I mean, he's got a cash on
his forehead, blood coming down. So we and I'm like,
why were you trying to fight the door, dude? And
he starting He kind of laughed at that, and I'm like,
do you want one band aid or fifty? I only
need one band ad. I need one band aid. And
then nurse that lives down the street, she was walking,
so we texted her and she stopped by because we
(09:51):
didn't know if we needed a stitch or not, and
she goes, no, I just think you're good. Put some
neosporing on it, put a band aid on that bat,
and he'll be good to go.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
Like your own community, we really are, dude.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
The neighborhood is amazing. Self sufficient, that's what we do,
and so we do that. And then baby Box, you know,
he rides his bike home and then it pure chaos
breaks out because the bus it's a new bus driver,
and there was chaos on the bus because nurse Textan goes,
oh my gosh, have you guys seen the bus? Like
the bus just drove by and my son didn't get off,
(10:26):
And I'm like, and then this other dad, he has
a second grader and a fourth grader and they've never
rode the bus for they've always been car riders. He's
sitting at the bus stop and he's like, I put
Apple air tags on him just in case. I put
air tags on him. I'm like, dude, they're walking out
of school and get on the bus. What can happen?
He goes, they got to have Apple air tags. They
have to And and my younger son's already at home.
(10:47):
Another one's still on the bus. The air tag is
showing me that one's at home and one's still on
the bus. How is that bossible, sir? And the bus
was really late because I guess leaving school they were
doing some checklist of who was getting on the bus,
making sure everything. So it's really late.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Glad it was organized. Teachers are doing those trapper keepers
and stars and charm bracelets.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
Maybe we run the bus routes.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
A couple of times.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
I understand what you're saying. And he's just in there,
going and he goes. And my wife couldn't even bother
to take off work to come here and be with
me for the bus. I mean, I'm glad this was
important for her.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
Oh he was being serious.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
Oh he was not happy. And he was like, I
don't know if the bus is a good idea.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
Now, John, John just calmed down. Remember we're fun, We're
the fun parents, We're the fun committee.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
He was like, I don't know, I don't know. I
don't know if he's I don't know what's going on.
We maybe we shouldn't have done the bus. We shouldn't
have done the bus. Just go pick him up, bring
him home, throw him out. And then the bus pulls
up on the wrong corner. So the bus driver's all backwards.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
So bus driver didn't practice throughout. No.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Bus driver's very confused. And I step up on the bus.
He's from Detroit, and I yell Perry, and she goes, sir,
you cannot get on the bus. You are not allowed
to get on the bus. And I'm like, hey, Perry,
you forgot to get off of your stop. Man like
your mom's calling like and she goes, sir, get down.
(12:08):
She's like, sir, get off the bus, ma'am. I understand.
It's a citizens' help. And so Perry comes up to
the front of us and he's getting off and he
looks very confused, very confused. He's like, why am I
getting off here? I said, well, why didn't you get
off of your stop?
Speaker 1 (12:22):
What's he confused for? He's a kid, listen to the
parents get off the bus.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
And she was like, and he goes, the bus didn't stop. Perry,
stop being a dump, and she goes, you gotta stick
with me. This is my first day, my first day.
Who Parry or the bus drivers yelling at me. She's like,
you gotta stick with me.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
Him her down, ma'am unless you want a bus.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
Video goes viral on X. You got to understand this
my first day. Trust me, they are in good hands.
I am a good bus driver. I didn't they had
on the sheet, they didn't have the bus stop written down.
I drove right past it. I'm about to make my
way back over there, and I said, oh okay, Perry,
sit back down, and I said, I thank you, ma'am.
And the other two kids guess what they were both
(12:59):
on the bus. So those Apple Air tags, they're not
one hundred percent accurate.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
It was giving a bad reading. Yeah, we've done them.
Usually they are. That's odd. Maybe one was low on batteries.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
And so we do all that don't live THEMI on
batteries raid made overseas, and so we just start talking
about the first day at home, and you know, baby
Box talks a little bit about how he's on the
Green team and if they earn enough points they get
to eat lunch in the classroom with the teacher.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
Oh storry day, Oh my gosh.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
Do you understand how cool that was as a kid
to eat in your classroom with the teacher.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
I'm gonna tell you right now, might not want to
win that one.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
I'll never forget it, Miss Butler. Second grade, we called
that lunch bunch. If you got to eat the classroom,
you were part of lunch bunch. Ah, I'll never forget it.
What a great honor that was. It was so cool.
It's a guy teacher.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
He's in there eating a pizza, farting.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
That's not fun, that's not cool. But miss Butler, we'd
sit there and we'd rubb her feet and stuff. It
was fantastic. So he's excited about that. They colored these
little crowns that say first day of first grade. I mean,
he was wearing it around the house so proud of it.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
What are the crowns? No Kings Club or something.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
No, it's just like first day of first grade. Man,
it's no big deal. And then we're sitting down to dinner.
We eat, and the other kindergartener, his mom comes and
picks him up, and he doesn't want to leave. He's like,
I want to stay here. I want to stay here.
And these kids are going to be absolutely wiped today
because they had such a big day and then they
came over and played for hours, so their attitudes are
(14:30):
gonna be terrible today. But that's not here nor there.
So then we're getting ready for bed and it hit
me and I asked baby box too. I said, hey, man,
where's your charm bracelet? Where's your little bracelet thing?
Speaker 1 (14:43):
I threw it away. I thought it was glad that
one didn't work. What I threw it away. It was.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
And I was like, he goes like, I don't know.
I was like, wait, what do you mean you don't know?
Speaker 1 (14:57):
And he goes loost in battle.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
The lot.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
He starts crying the one that was in here.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
Yeah, he starts crying, Honey, get the yarn and beads.
And I mean he was like oh, and he is.
He's bawling, and I'm like.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
Oh, you gotta retrace his steps.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
We're in the middle of reading stories at seven fifteen
at night, seven thirty at night.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
And then Honey Muktar passed it to Sam Surage over
to Zimmerman.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
We were in the middle of reading the second book
of the Night of our three that we usually read,
and I said, you know what, Bud, here, I'll let
mom finish the book. I'll retrace your steps. I will
take the same path you rode your bike to school
to the Dollar General by a couple of beads. And
there I am with my phone and a flashlight on
(15:50):
my phone and a regular flashlight.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
I saw you, pedophile get off the company grounds. Good.
I'm a dad.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
I got a beating bracelet.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
I'm looking forward and.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
I was going I couldn't find it couldn't find it,
and then I get all the way to the school
and then it hit me. I know where it is
because we knew because my wife took pictures and he
had it on when he left on his bike, and
when he was walking into school he didn't have his
on his wrist and her pictures.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
Oh, he dropped it in the urinal. All right, I'll
be nothing.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
No, no, no, it wasn't in the jurnal because he
didn't have it going into school. So somewhere between home
and the going up the steps to school he lost it.
So I knew that it had to be along that path.
So I'm doing my best flashlight boom boom boom, get
all the way to the school, and then it hit me.
I know where it is. The bike rack.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
Homeless guy stole it from when he's.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
Putting on the lock on his bike. It probably fell
off because he's hitting his wrist along the So I'm
over there in the grass, digging over there by the
bike rack. No, brother, you got a dollar.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
I'm digging too, man, trying to find a place.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
To poop nothing. And then I go over there where
they had a table set up out front where they're
snacks and refreshments for the first day of school. Hey, brother,
you live on these grounds too, to wait. Welcome everybody
to school. And I'm searching that grass. There's leaves everywhere.
I'm moving the leaves, bro, They're not so bad.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
It's only been a couple of nights.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
It's pretty nice at night.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
You need a blanket in early hours.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
And now it's pitch blackout. Now it's dark and I'm
like digging, and here comes some lady walking her dog.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
Here we go. She's gonna think she's about to get touched.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
And she literally gets off the sidewalk. I'm not even
on the sidewalk. I'm in the grass. But she sees
me like creeping on the elementary school grounds. She gets
in the middle of the road.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
Metal detective.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
She gets in the middle of the road and walks
and just looking at me, looking at me, like, what
is this guy doing.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
I would have been two streets over, dude. When I'm
walking to the gym in the morning, I see anybody
that moves. I'm on two streets off Broadway. I'll see
you on de Mumbrian.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
Yeah. So she gave me like a creepy feel like
she was about to call the police on me. I
searched for another twenty minutes.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
May I'm not like I'm gonna touch you or anything.
I'm married. Look at my ring.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
Doesn't mean anything.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
You could still touch me. She sounds like Arnold.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
And he couldn't find I couldn't find it.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
Yeah, no, crap man, buy some new crap A dollar general.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
I think that he probably dropped it. Another kid found it,
picked it up, put it in their backpack. I think
it is lost forever.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
Well, super dad failed, Where's your kryptonite? Now? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (18:15):
Then I had to ride my bike home and the
pitch black, dodging cars, making sure no one, you know,
I didn't get in any accidents. Got home, talked to
the wife and she was like, he said he was
going to ask his teacher in the morning, you know.
And I said, well, miss Curry obviously doesn't have it
because he didn't have it on his wrist when he
went in the school. And she was like, oh, yeah,
(18:35):
that's right. And so I don't know what happened.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
Possible for us to pull the surveillance tape.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
Right I'm asking if anybody has any video footage of
the route to school, if they could send it to
me that way, we know kind of where it fell off.
I mean I'm looking where, I looked everywhere, and it
was on his right arm. So I was looking on
the right side because I knew it wouldn't be on the.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
Left coach and we got to take a break. Love
the breakdown of the bracelet, and I have to go
to the bathroom.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
Never found it. But then here's an update. This morning,
my wife said, the two kids that rode the bus
with the Apple Air tags, they weren't at the bus stop.
Dad drove them. I think they are done with the
bus after one day they got kidnapped. No, I think
they gave up on the bus after one day.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
Man.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
One day. So that was the first day of school.
And I'm telling you what. Welcome back kids, Welcome back,
Welcome back Cotter. We'll take a break, We'll be right back. Yo,
We've got to start the show, dude. We did a
whole segment about the first day of school and we
didn't even talk about the introductions. Yeah, that's my camera
(19:40):
now sorry, I am the captain. Now start start the
dang show. Hey, let me reach over to this mouse
all the way over here, O quick. Hey, we're on
fire with the cameras. Okay, the cameras are a real
big distraction, but people love them. People seem to like them.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
I was editing the clips because now I'm a video
editor as well as an audio guy, and I never sleep. Guys,
the jobs never end. And she goes, why is that
one camera? I just focused on lunch or just focus
on you. She's like, why doesn't it flip to the
other person when the other person's talking? And I go, well,
that would be lunchbox, that's his job.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
She was so mad at the program. She's like, that's
so stupid. Why does it not switch to lunchbox? And
I was like, because he was operating the switchboard.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
I did talk to the engineer a minute ago, and
he said he has a beta version that will get
it where whoever is speaking, it flips back and forth.
They have set it up in studio. See they are
testing it out and if it does work, he's going
to roll it out to the rest of the studios.
So that might be coming shortly. And I do have
a bus update for you. I just got a text
(20:46):
from my wife that baby Box two and his buddy
were riding the bus home today and they got out
at eleven thirty and she was supposed to be out
to the bus stop and the bus driver was calling
her because she was not there and they were the
only two on the bus.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
Uh the bus problem, kids, teachers, air tags, cameras. Lost
my train of thought. Man, that's what it was beta.
He said, it's a beta program.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
Yes, it's a beta program, So I guess it's a
tester and if they like it, they're gonna roll it
out in all the studios because you're beta Box. Start
the freaking show. It's been started. No it hasn't. You
have not played the music that says no, no, no, no, you.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
Can't hear it.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
No, I can barely starting. Okay, go al, let's do
it live. We are the one, two three, sore loser.
What up, everybody? I am Lunchbox. I know the most
about sports, so I'll give you the sports facts, my
sports opinions, because I'm pretty much a sports genius.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
What's up, y'all? It is Sison. I'm from the North.
I'm an alpha male. I live on the North side
in Nashville geographically. If you're looking at it. Not to
get too boring, but we do have two Acres. We
had two kids at Vanderbilt. Justin has been in the
depression Den. He should be checking on the kids. No idea.
If he has been in the electrophysiology unit, and then
I will die of a heart attack when I'm seventy two.
(22:15):
I thought about retiring from the podcast in two years.
I've decided not to. And there's also been some recent
online comments about me on this podcast that I would
like to address. If the court may allow.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
It, I think we will allow it. I will just say,
speaking of depression Den, Battersbox has made it to Orange Beach, Alabama,
where he is spending some time with his wife and son.
Not sure what they're doing. I know that he had
a sickness called COVID. He got over that, then apparently
his wife had it, and then they drove to Orange Beach, Alabama.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
No idea.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
We have not heard from them since they took a
picture in front of the sign that said sweet Home Alabama.
That's all we have everybody that's Batter's Box here with us,
So I'm gonna talk to you about something.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
Ray. I got an email a Batter's Box if you
ever do listen to this podcast. I don't make fun
of your lisp. I don't know why. Four years ago
we started doing it. You randomly rushed into an office bathroom.
I get sometimes you have a lisp when you don't
have a lisp, And for whatever reason, for the next
four years we have made fun of you. He really
doesn't have a lisp.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
It just sounds like it's in this clip. What if
everybody that's a batter's box here with a special.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
And you should never kids, speaking of school, you should
never make fun of somebody for having a lisp, and
you can overcome it. So all that to say, I
got that off my chest over to you.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
Well, I'm greatly appreciative if you apologizing to my brother
and you know, for making fun of his lisp. But
when you have a lisp, you have a lisp. It's
nothing to be ashamed of. Be proud of who you are.
But anyway, I got an email and it was from
none other then Nash Soccer Club.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
All right, let's not knock them, guys.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
Here we go.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
I've been the biggest supporter of Sam Surage.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
Hey guys, it's that time for Meet the Team night
at Geotis Park. Been here before, bring your family out
to meet all the players and all and have some
fun at the stadium and do some different activities. Everybody'll
be there except for Sam, Surge and Muktar. So I'm like,
here we go again. The last time we went to
(24:31):
meet the team night, it was an absolute disaster.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
Remember it, well, pizza, hot dogs, you would try to
get a pass. It wasn't good in one area. Food
was an issue. Going down and seeing the players, believe
the kids got sad, cried. Maybe all I remember Truckers.
You guys can probably recall the same with me.
Speaker 2 (24:50):
You can look back for that old episode because I
don't want to rehash the old memories of not being
able to go down and take penalty kicks, about not
going to watch some of the players speak because we
didn't ever risk not being able to go down over
there because we didn't have a wristband, and my wife
snapping at the security guard saying, then what can we do?
I don't want to relive that.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
So that's on a T shirt. That's an epic line
in Sore Loser's history. Then what can we do?
Speaker 2 (25:14):
That's a good one. Add that to the list we're
getting around. Are you ready ready?
Speaker 1 (25:19):
And we're not leaving justin at the drinking at the
water cooler. Don't really remember that exact quote.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
Uh anyway, So I'm like, I'm not going to have
this disaster again. I'm not going to have where it
is when we show up and we can't do anything.
So I respond to the email because it's from my
ticket rep, you know, the account executive.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
Usually we don't read outgoing emails.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
This is a first, and I said, hello, I am
excited to attend the Meet the Team night, but I
have a few questions this time. The last time we attended,
there was a lot of confusion and we were unable
to do anything. Pretty much everywhere needed a wristband for this,
a wristband for that. So I would like to know
(26:04):
before I go, is there a place I need to
sign up for these wristbands so my kids are not
denied access to all the different events going on at
Meet the Team event.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
Thank you so much for your help, Jason Gibble Kindly Gibbler,
three days go by, no reply. That's probably their generic
email they give to everybody. You should have sent it
from the Big Show email, not sore losers at hotmail
dot gmail.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
Here's the deal. Then, I get an email about my
ticket renewal. Do you you know it's time to renew
your season tickets for next year?
Speaker 1 (26:41):
Money's tight hit me in a year.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
Please reply if you would like to, you know, renew
your season tickets will go ahead and charge your credit card.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
Not until we see if the convention is a red
or black.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
And I replied and I said I would love to
renew my season tickets. We're good to go, replied within
the hour. Oh oh weird, still ever, replied to my
other email. So I went ahead and replied and said
that sounds great, but also I'd like some answers to
my questions that I eenmailed you about three days ago.
And I copied the email, pasted it in there, and said,
(27:14):
can you answer the questions above?
Speaker 1 (27:16):
So you, being a season ticket holder, you're probably gonna
get more prompt responses than the average person on the streets. Yeah,
which tells me people to dm us and maybe give
us stuff. If they give us stuff, you always think,
camera me. You always think, guys when people are giving
you crap, that it's free. It's free. But the big picture,
(27:36):
essentially they're giving you an upfront box, but they will
have your ear for the next year, two years in
your DM inbox. Maybe they get your cell phone number
where they can ask you any question they want about
the big show or a little show. So was that
original gift free? Probably not, Just like you, emailing is
(27:58):
at a benefit you're paying for and tickets, so that
you should get one of their ears and I'll hang
up and listen.
Speaker 2 (28:05):
So I sent that follow up email after three days
of not hearing anything. Three days later, it's time to
go meet the team, and guess what, I have not
received an email from the ticket rep. Not a single
reply to one of my questions.
Speaker 1 (28:21):
Yeah, that's maybe one on a Friday night, you want
to have a couple too many drinks fire off an email.
Speaker 2 (28:26):
So I'm frustrated. But I haven't told the kids anything
about meet the team because I don't want to get
their hopes up like I did last time. Because last
time it was like, come down on the field, have
penalty kicks. I'm like, I'm not going to tell them
anything about it. So I just said, guys, we're going
to go do something fun, and we start getting dressed
up and they're like, we're going to a Nashville soccer game.
We're going to a Nashville soccer game. I'm like, Nope,
(28:49):
not saying we are. We know we are. We know
we are because we're wearing our jerseys.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
Now we're going to thigh and porkers.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
What was that called smoking thighs? And I said, no,
I'm not saying what we're doing. Well, I know, I know.
I got my hat on, I know what we're doing. Dad,
make sure you bring a marker because after the game
they may sign autographs. Okay, So we drive, we park
in the parking lot right next to the stadium, and
in the gates it says it starts at five point thirty.
Apparently gates open at five thirty because we were there
(29:15):
at five point fifteen and the line was a mile
long down the block. So it was to the interstate,
is what you're saying. It felt like it was to
the Interstate. It was a long way. We're standing out
in the extreme, extreme heat, and I'm thinking, man, there's
this many season ticket holders and I pull up my
(29:36):
email and it says at the end of the email,
I forgot this part. It says, Oh, and if you'd
like to invite some of your friends, here's the link.
They can RSVP thanks. Wou no, no, no, that pull up?
You pull up?
Speaker 1 (29:49):
Yeah, I woant have pulled up to Nashville Geico or
whatever they call it.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
G otis. Here's my problem as a season ticket holder.
There should not be anybody that's not a season ticket holder,
because what's the benefit of being a season ticket holder?
Then bingo, you should have access to these kind of
events dart bullseye that they are not allowed to come to. Sorry, pointer,
if you want to meet the team and have this
special interaction. I understand you want to grow your fan base,
(30:14):
but you should take care of your season ticket holders.
Because I still don't have an email back. I know
you want to grow your fan base like you want
to grow your weed.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
Not trying to get political.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
So I'm like, all right, whatever, we wait and lie.
I tell the kids you go stand in the shade.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
And also, this line's a mile long at five point fifteen,
telling me right now that the maybe the demographic of
the Nashville Soccer Club is freelancers, stay at home, maybe
unemployed who can get to a stadium at five I'll
hang up and listen.
Speaker 2 (30:44):
Great point. So we wait in line. Doors finally open
and they start handing out little like flyers, like telling
you exactly where who's going to be. Like number one
is going to be where Walker Zimmerman is and a
couple other players. Number two is where Sam Surge and
a couple other place. Number three is where Joe Willis
and a couple other players will be. And it has
(31:06):
all the little kid knew.
Speaker 1 (31:09):
That's pretty impressive when a kid that young knows more
players than me. I got closed though, I got muck Tar,
I know Sam Surge, Joe Willis is new to me though.
Speaker 2 (31:16):
The goalie he's a goalie, all right. And so I'm like,
I'm looking at it and it says station number four
is where you check in for the locker room tours.
And I'm like, oh, here we go. This is something
you had to pre register for that I never got
an email about, but whatever, And I decide We're going
to go straight to that spot because the locker room
(31:37):
tour will be the coolest thing the kids will ever see.
Speaker 1 (31:40):
Like where your head's at.
Speaker 2 (31:41):
I'm thinking you can meet the players later. Let's make
sure we are part of the locker room tour. And
we finally get in the door and we get over
to the table and it's like, I mean by the
time we get to the table, it's five point fifty two.
Wife roll No, wife was not there. Wife had some
appointment PTA or PTO meeting some crap. I mean, another appointment,
(32:03):
another appointment. Don't worry about it. Always got an appointment
when there's something going on. And so we go to
the table and all these people are like, oh, we're
here to check in for the tour, and I'm like,
these people are SVP. They knew they were supposed to
r SVP. I'm like, I'm gonna try it anyway. And
I'm like, yeah, we want to do a locker room tour.
They're like, oh, this, you know, six o'clock is all full,
(32:24):
but six fifteen here, we'll give you a six fifteen
wrist band boom. And I'm like, oh my gosh, okay,
let's go, boys, we're gonna get to go down to
the locker room. They're starting to freak out. We're gonna
go in the locker room. Dead, We're gonna go in
the locker room. I'm like yeah, And I'm like, let's
get a couple of autographs where we go and I
walk by where the players are supposed.
Speaker 1 (32:44):
To be who patrons. Hey, Jim from sales, would you
mind signing this for my kid? Make sure the sharpie works.
Speaker 2 (32:51):
No, I was gonna go to where the lines were
for the autographs, but they were already long enough that
I was like, guys, let's just go do the locker room.
Then we'll do the autographs. So we got to walk
down on the field and we got to sit on
the bench and they took pictures on the bench like
their players. Oh my gosh, they're feeling so cool.
Speaker 1 (33:08):
You're called in son, get in their box too, the announcers, uh,
coming in now, number two, box number two.
Speaker 2 (33:18):
So then we get to walk up the tunnel where
Nashville sc comes out, and this is where they're just like,
oh my gosh, Oh my gosh, this is so cool.
So I had them walk down the tunnel and I
stood at the front and I said, all right, now
run out like you're a player, and they came running out.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
Whoo.
Speaker 2 (33:36):
Yeah. They made me take a picture against every wall.
They wanted to take a picture against every single wall
in that place that was under the stadium because they'd
never seen it. It was so cool, so electric. Then
we go in and we go in the press room
where they hold their they talk to the media after
the games, and they got to sit.
Speaker 1 (33:56):
Up there, sons, this is what your dad does. I'm
part of the.
Speaker 2 (34:01):
They sat at the microphone and I took pictures of him,
and they got to talking to the mic. Go Nashville,
and they're like, thanks for coming tonight, Go Nashville as
part of the media. Did you ask a question?
Speaker 1 (34:13):
Uh? Yes, right here in the back Gibbles from West Nashville.
Quick question, why would you rate tonight's performance? So hang
up and listen. Thank you guys for your time.
Speaker 2 (34:26):
Were you in that room?
Speaker 1 (34:28):
You did that?
Speaker 2 (34:29):
I literally asked him, how'd you think it went tonight day?
Speaker 1 (34:32):
We know you you're not a reporter.
Speaker 2 (34:35):
I'm serious on the media.
Speaker 1 (34:37):
This is my damn job.
Speaker 2 (34:39):
So I was like, all right, that's what I did.
You know what I mean? I did ask those questions
and then we'd leave that room, walk across the hall.
Speaker 1 (34:46):
Apparent sees it. Yeah, it was literally a reporter in
there asking some of the kids questions. And it must
have been from the Tennessee and or it looked pretty professional.
It might have honestly been the Nashville Sentinel or maybe
the Nashville broad Way Times.
Speaker 2 (35:01):
Or it may have been someone from ESPN because they're
really getting into the soccer coverage and they had an
MLS guy on site.
Speaker 1 (35:06):
Oh no, not ESPN with soccer that's there. It's all WNBA,
WNBA and dildos. Every score but a baseball or football score.
All you gotta scroll all the way down at the
very top of ESPN WNBA.
Speaker 2 (35:20):
That's wild, right, it's propaganda.
Speaker 1 (35:22):
We're pawns.
Speaker 2 (35:23):
Anyway, Time to move to where Rosie is. So then
we get to walk into the locker room.
Speaker 1 (35:28):
Man or that other lady Ellen, she went to the
coast of Italy.
Speaker 2 (35:33):
We walk in that locker room and these kids are
going crazy. They are running to every locker.
Speaker 1 (35:38):
Dad.
Speaker 2 (35:38):
This is Walker Zimmerman's locker dad. This is Joe Willis's
locker dad. This is Honey Moottar's locker And we sat
there and took pictures in all their lockers and they
stood on the benches and they were just like it was.
They were a cloud nine. So this team meet, the
team of it is off to a fantastic start, right
all the you know in the years past, how I said, Oh,
(35:59):
it's so terrible, so terrible. I'm like, this is fantastic.
We had access to the locker room. Yeah, and we
opened the drawer and what's in there?
Speaker 1 (36:09):
I don't know. A dildo.
Speaker 2 (36:11):
No, everybody slides their their sandals. I thought it was
gonna be their cleats and everything, but they took all
those out because I figure people try to steal them.
But we took pictures. Then we went into their little
like cafeteria where they eat and they have meals and smoothies.
The dining hall. Kids were loving it and the security
guard is talking about it and they're like, dad, dad,
look at this.
Speaker 1 (36:30):
This is it.
Speaker 2 (36:31):
It was great.
Speaker 1 (36:31):
Does security guards just talking sounds like tight security.
Speaker 2 (36:35):
Yeah, he's talking about hot Yeah.
Speaker 1 (36:39):
Well the history of the stadium.
Speaker 2 (36:40):
Let me finish this real quick.
Speaker 1 (36:42):
So yeah, this team has been around for five year.
Yeah I'm pretty good this year.
Speaker 2 (36:47):
Thanks man.
Speaker 1 (36:48):
Maybe guard the exits. The security guards given the tour
not what I want my security guard doing. I want
him bouncing people out of there.
Speaker 2 (37:01):
It was a fantastic tour, dude. You know why because
it was a self guided tour. You could stay in
that locker room as long as you want it. There
was no in and out, like, oh my gosh, there's
fifteen people in your group. Let's walk you through. You
got to take a picture, as many pictures as you
want it.
Speaker 1 (37:16):
It was awesome until the team plays again at home
and there's gum on a guy's cleats, you know, trying
to get traction with the old golden leg.
Speaker 2 (37:26):
It was baby box too, That was his slime. That
dude you're watching the game down go Zeroman. It looks
like he got his shoes stuck in the turf.
Speaker 1 (37:34):
There's some sort of blue slime that's like baking soda
that just bakes onto his cleat. It looks like you
can't even wash it out, kind of like something those
kids have nowadays.
Speaker 2 (37:45):
Well, Jim, I do know they had tours at the
meet the team nine. I guess some kid got slime
in the locker room and they really screwed the nationalistc.
Now Walker Zeroman's having to come out of the game
because his cleats are all slimed up.
Speaker 1 (37:56):
And usually their white jerseys are white. Now they have
a tent pee colored urine. Odd. We'll be back after
this Nashville Soccer on Apple TV.
Speaker 2 (38:08):
So then as we're leaving the locker room, we're leaving,
we're going back down the tunnel.
Speaker 1 (38:13):
Yeah, I mean, at what point do we move on?
Speaker 2 (38:15):
I'm like, hey, boys, you guys walk out the tunnel,
I'll stay behind you. And I'm thinking they're just gonna
run out like individuals. No, Baby Box one's like, guys,
get over here, and he puts his arm around Baby
Box two, and baby Box two puts his arm around
baby Box three and they marched out the tunnel together, rude, boxy, boxy, boxy,
(38:38):
boxy boxy. It was like a heartfelt video moment to
see them all three levels because they're all different heights
walking out of that tunnel together. And I sat there
and just watched it, enjoyed it. And one of the
security guards jumps out of the picture so he's not
in it, and he goes, I gotta tell you, man,
(38:59):
that's a great scene right there. He goes, that is beautiful.
Speaker 1 (39:02):
Is he drunk?
Speaker 2 (39:03):
He was not drunk. He was a really nice guy.
Speaker 1 (39:05):
And that's a picture actually, So you would have if
all the ones you took to lead them all, the
one you need is the three boys going out into
the field. You're down, perfect shadow. That's it. That's going
on the Facebook because there are no faces.
Speaker 2 (39:18):
Yeah, we'll take a break. We'll be right back. Ray.
Speaker 1 (39:21):
I didn't take a picture of that moment.
Speaker 2 (39:23):
No, I did take a picture. I did take a picture.
So then they're like, all right, Dad, can we go
meet some of the players. Can we go meet some
of the players. I'm like, yeah, no problem, let's go
up there. And we go up there and get in
line with Walker Zimmerman and two other players and Ray
when I say, we stood in line for one hour
and seventeen minutes because there were so many freaking people
(39:47):
there that my kids, after forty five minutes of standing
in line were losing their crap. They started running around
the place, and I said, you go ahead, go run
around the place, man uh. And we we get to
about fifteen people from Walker Zimmerman, another two guys, and
baby Box three. He's like, Dad, I gotta go poop poo.
Speaker 1 (40:08):
Oh jerseys are brown.
Speaker 2 (40:09):
Now I'm like what, He goes, Dad, I gotta go
poop poo I said, Bud, We're almost to the front
of the line. He goes, Dad, I can't hold it,
so I have to leave Baby Box one and Baby
Box two in line while I go to the pooper
with Baby Box three.
Speaker 1 (40:24):
You got to tell him and teach you how to
do the duck walk ball been there.
Speaker 2 (40:28):
And so we go and we run to the bathroom.
Luckily we were in one They put all the players indoors,
like in a club suite, and there was a bathroom
in there. So we went in the bathroom and he
drops a load, and I'm like, are you done yet?
Speaker 1 (40:41):
No?
Speaker 2 (40:41):
No, no, And I'm like, dude, we're gonna You're gonna
miss Walker Zimmerman. You are going to miss meeting Walker Zimmerman.
And he finally gets done and we get out there
and we run back. Three people in front of us.
We made it in time to meet Walker Zimmerman and
two other guys, Tyler boy and another guy that honeycut
(41:03):
or home Honeycomb, I don't remember his name.
Speaker 1 (41:05):
Yeah, he was the Honeycomb man. And did you tell
him the kid was taking a slash reverse?
Speaker 2 (41:11):
No, I didn't. I didn't mention anything about taking a dump.
I made sure he washed his hands because we don't
take it. We're gonna meet the players. So we get
a picture with Walker Zimmerman, Tyler Boyd and the other
guy Honeycomb or honeycut I don't remember, and They're like,
all right, dad, let's go meet Surage, Let's go meet
Joe Willis and we go and they're like, sorry, events over, guys,
the event's over. I'm like what, Like, yeah, it ended
(41:34):
at seven. I can't get in line anymore, I said,
but we've only met three of the players. Yeah, sorry, sorry, man,
another thing we can do. You gotta get out meet
the rest on Apple TV. So it started out fantastic.
The locker room was the greatest decision. We had so
smart to go there first. But the line control ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (41:59):
Yeah, and also I worked facilities, guys, so we all
have families to get home to. Not I'm kidding. We
had a kegger to get home too, so we tried.
We were booting people out. You were technically allowed to
stay at Texas State for over an hour that.
Speaker 2 (42:11):
Game was over.
Speaker 1 (42:12):
We were pushing people away, the seat filler or not
the seat fillers, people that pay for seats, the boosters.
We're over there taking their seats up. Thanks for coming,
I mean old ladies. We were pushing onto the wheelchair
ran let's go get a moving. We had a keger
intend to get to You're not staying at that stadium
for more than our flags down the second the game
(42:33):
was over, up there goes the old faithful flag gets dropped.
People thought a bomb went off in those mass casualties. No,
we just dropped the flag. It's time to get home.
Speaker 2 (42:42):
We gots to go.
Speaker 1 (42:45):
Dude, we had that stadium cleaned out. We could he
split them about thirty minutes after Texas State ended.
Speaker 2 (42:51):
Yeah, but that's my whole point is it's a fantastic thing.
It's a great idea, but they got to do staggered
times for people. They have to have certain players at
certain times, and you pick your window that you get
to go. Maybe have Walkers Zommerman in one window, honeymoont
Tarn and another windows so at least you get to
meet a superstar. But letting people invite their friends that
(43:12):
aren't seasoned ticket members and making people stand in line
for an hour and seventeen minutes and only getting to
meet three players out of the whole thing, it just
doesn't add up.
Speaker 1 (43:22):
From your mouth to their they heard you many.
Speaker 2 (43:26):
It was frustrating. My kids were sad, like, Dad, can
we go in that room? No? Man? Like, do you
see the security guard standing there with his arms crossed?
There's no one else allowed in there. Like, but Dad,
we only met three of the players. It said meet
the team, and I said, yeah, I know, but I
don't know what to tell you. It was apple White.
Apple White was the third player. Sorry, it just came
to me. It wasn't honey Comb. It was apple White.
(43:49):
So what I did is I knew it started with
an A. So I did at a Londack Mountains, Okay,
And so we left dejected. We're walking out of the stadium.
Speaker 1 (43:58):
That's a sign you're getting old when you have to
remember other things to remember a certain word. We never
did that in high school. You're getting old.
Speaker 2 (44:05):
It was a joke many it's called word association. No,
it was a joke. I've never done that. I just, uh,
apple White. I couldn't think of his name. He doesn't
ever play, so I couldn't think of his name. I
had Honeycomb for someone.
Speaker 1 (44:17):
I remember, mucktar, I'm like, because I don't give up,
and then that his name Remont rhymes with that, and
then I get tar sometimes on my car when I'm
going home, so it's muck tar.
Speaker 2 (44:30):
Yeah. So anyway, then as we're walking out of the stadium,
kids are dejected, and I'm like, sorry, guys, I don't know,
like I'm frustrated for you, like I'm angry, Like hour
in seventeen minutes to meet the players, just way too
long for one line and a national and s the
employee sees us and I'm gonna go with he recognized me.
(44:51):
I'm just I gotta believe he recognized me, because he
comes up and he goes, how many in your party?
And I said three, because I don't need anything. I'm
an adult. I get it, and he goes, hold on
one second, Hey, yeah, we expected you to go get
an autograph.
Speaker 1 (45:07):
Dude. It fread forty and he.
Speaker 2 (45:12):
Runs into the room and he comes out with a
jockstrap and he has three scarves and they're signed by
every single player on the team.
Speaker 1 (45:21):
It's the middle of summer, man, but signed.
Speaker 2 (45:25):
They were signed by every player on the team.
Speaker 1 (45:29):
Give him a round of applause. Whoever that facility's worker was,
you are better than I. That is going above and
beyond me close the stadium. You trying to make the
experience better for the kids.
Speaker 2 (45:42):
He said, I'm sorry some of the lines were out
of control. I know you didn't get to meet many players.
We've been hearing some feedback, so we're just trying to
get some people on the way out. We had the
players sign these before the event tonight to give out
to random people. So here you go, guys, go. You
each get one, which was cool, which was awesome, but
and I hate to sound ungrateful, but seeing the players
(46:03):
and meeting the players is more impactful than the kids
just getting assigned scarf. But they still loved it, and
they were so excited and they're like, Dad, now we
have every player's signature. So that was awesome by that dude.
And I'm glad you said what you said about me
being forty years old. I'm just trying to fill audio space.
(46:24):
I don't even know what I said. I know you're tired,
I know it, I get it.
Speaker 1 (46:30):
I'm just I told you I edited two hours worth
of audio. Okay, you could at least respect me and
condense your story about getting autographs to the locker room.
But it continued out to the I thought we were
done with autographs, and we're in the parking lot still
getting autographs.
Speaker 2 (46:49):
Get these kids home.
Speaker 1 (46:54):
The POD's over, man, I never got to my comments
on the internet.
Speaker 2 (46:59):
We'll take a break right back.
Speaker 1 (47:02):
Ray and then we're at a stop play a homeless
man stolen scarf to scarf. On the very bottom, it
says things, brother, I have never been famous before. You
guys made my day. Man. I used to play for
the Nashville team.
Speaker 2 (47:23):
No, I want to look right at the camera and
I'm gonna tell him something.
Speaker 1 (47:27):
I got it cry music.
Speaker 2 (47:29):
Listen to you, adults. If you have no children and
you're over the age of gosh, twenty one years old,
you do not need to be standing in line and
asking for autographs. You need to get a life. You
are too old to be asking for an autograph and
(47:51):
standing in line with homemade signs to get people to
sign them. Those events are designed for kids. They are
not designed for the fifth year old couple that has
nobody with them and they have six different items they
want to get signed. You're a freaking adult. It's embarrassing,
it's sad, and it ruins the experience for the kids.
(48:15):
My Lord, I cannot believe how many adults I saw
there with no kids, getting autographs, hogging the line, hogging
the time of the players. When you have kids that
are seven, five and three waiting in a line for
an hour and seventeen minutes. Get a life.
Speaker 1 (48:37):
They heard you after they came out of their parents'
basement and got breakfast this morning. They all heard what
you had to say.
Speaker 2 (48:46):
Do you want to do your comments or do you
want to wait till Friday?
Speaker 1 (48:49):
No? Hit me?
Speaker 2 (48:50):
Please tell me what happened I found. I'm sorry for
the long stories. I apologize. I just had some things
on my chest.
Speaker 1 (48:58):
It was fine, but I was just turning the page
of the autographs and what do you know, a miracle
scarf with autographs brings it back up. What a journey though.
You guys were there for hours.
Speaker 2 (49:10):
We were there for two and a half hours. Man,
this as long as a game. Yeah, yeah, I understand that.
And here's the problem. We were there two and a
half hours. We met three players. Yeah that's the problem.
Speaker 1 (49:21):
Meet this player. Hey, guys, So I got on the
internet and I found some comments about me, and they
were unsavory. They weren't friendly. They were cold, and they
were mean, and they were hateful. And I have considered
leaving the podcast because of these comments.
Speaker 2 (49:36):
I will lick my wounds, but allow me to You
are the most sensitives human being I've ever met. Good gosh,
but allow me to read them so I can just
get them off my conscience.
Speaker 1 (49:46):
I want to pretend they never happened, but I will
reconsider leaving the podcast in two years after reading these.
Here it is listen to hear Lunchbox's son so cute.
I just don't find race personality to be funny, so
I can't listen long. Next comment, that's my problem too.
By no means do I dislike Ray. I just don't
(50:08):
think he and LB of chemistry because LB is funny
and a family man. Can't believe I'm saying this, but
I wish LB and Amy had a spin off?
Speaker 2 (50:16):
What Amy from feeling your stuff? Good God? Final comment.
Speaker 1 (50:22):
I like listening to sore losers too, and agree with
you on Ray. Like him as a person, but sometimes
he's just too much and the vibe is off. I
would love for LB to co host with someone else,
but I don't know who at the moment. One time
I was thinking, Gator, that pits guy. Maybe I would
listen to Amy and LB for sure. Well you know
(50:42):
what is the camera looking at me? Well, vibe this
mother ger. Vibe this mother ger. All right, man, I'm
gonna redo my intro I will be considering leaving the
podcast in two years. Hang up, get out of here,
(51:03):
that's all.
Speaker 2 (51:03):
You didn't hang up? Wow, man, they said that. I'm
sorry about that, man.
Speaker 1 (51:10):
But also Gator. Really you think Gator would be a
better host to me? You don't even know what Gator
sounds like.
Speaker 2 (51:17):
I mean, how have you ever even heard of Gator?
Speaker 1 (51:19):
Like?
Speaker 2 (51:19):
Did you just hear the name somewhere? We said it
one time. I mean, I don't even understand that.
Speaker 1 (51:24):
You didn't even bring up a maybe the words viable,
a viable option as a filling co host. I get
the amy because they're on the big show together.
Speaker 2 (51:34):
But Gator, how.
Speaker 1 (51:36):
Do you know in all the audio in the world
what Gator sounds like as a podcast host. And I'll
hang up and listen. Gator, if you hear this, I'm
just playing around, Buddy, tip of the cap.
Speaker 2 (51:48):
Maybe it was Gator that made the comments. Maybe Gators
the ring. I don't understand Gayter is a.
Speaker 1 (51:54):
Program director who has heard audio of Gator that I'm missing,
that he's this amazing co host that's better than me.
And I'll hang up and listen.
Speaker 2 (52:07):
I mean, I don't even understand, Like, you don't even
know if he has a good personality.
Speaker 1 (52:11):
But that's how low and comment is. But they're recommending
a program director over me to host this podcast. I've
hit rock bottom and I've kept digging. Guys. This is
a low point in my career. Nothing on Gator, but
he hasn't had a show in ten years. You think
he still has the chops through a podcast. I've been
(52:33):
cutting my teeth every day. Yeah, come on down here
to this studio, and you know what, you could lick
my what.
Speaker 2 (52:46):
I was a low blown man. I told you it
wasn't pretty. I think we're going to I'm gonna go
to lunch with the kindergarteners. They're out at eleven thirty.
Baby Box two's got his buddy over, so I think
I think I'm gonna take him to lunch Celebrate.
Speaker 1 (52:59):
Two to day.
Speaker 2 (53:00):
He's a kindergarten Hold the doors, dude. He's got tape
on his head today to keep it closed.
Speaker 1 (53:07):
I was on your watch, dude, I was.
Speaker 2 (53:08):
On my watch man. I apologize. I apologize
I started it.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
You did all right, here we go, man, I'm gonna
tell you what, man, it is. Back we are back.
Speaker 1 (00:07):
School is back.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Back back back back back back back back back back
back back back back. I can't believe school has already started.
It's so weird that they start so early here in
the great state of Tennessee.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
WHOA, Your mic is so jacked up? What do you
mean You're like pencil fin.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
I don't know what to do. Is there some buttons?
Speaker 1 (00:32):
Yo? Am?
Speaker 2 (00:33):
I back? Thank you? So let's go back. Let's go
to back and talk about how crazy it is that
this great state of Tennessee has started school already. When
I talked to Garrett down in Texas, in the Austin
Independent School District does not start school until August nineteenth,
(00:56):
so we are talking two weeks. We got out an
extra two weeks this summer vacation. I don't understand why
we start so early. I would rather them start on
August nineteenth, not have a fall break, and not have
just random days off throughout the year because we get
out of school at the same time as Austin. I'm
(01:16):
ninety nine percent sure Flugerville doesn't go back till next week. Guys,
just stick with me. It's just frustrating that my kid
goes back to school on August fifth. It's like, where
is the summer vacation.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
You're seem like you're on their team, the kid's team.
Parents want them back in school.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
I understand them going back to school. I want them
to get an education, Yes I do.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
Ryan, they can't defend themselves.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
But what I don't want. I don't want to take
away their summer.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
But you know why they do it. Why for the
tractor operators?
Speaker 2 (01:52):
They what tractor? I can't hear them. I don't hear
any tractors I do.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
In fact, they need their kids for these important two
weeks to harvest the crops, and so once they're done harvesting,
get them back in school. You're a city slicker.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
Maybe that's what it is. Maybe I'm out of touch
and I want my kid to be at home for
a little bit longer. But let me tell you, the
first day of school is one of the most magical
things in the world, positive and negative, because the kids
are excited, they're nervous everything. I mean, my oldest baby
Box he got a postcard this past weekend from his
(02:30):
first grade teacher Arnold sent him that saying, Hey, can't
wait to have you in my class. Looking forward to
a great year. You know, signed it Miss Radcliffe. Awesome.
The night before school started, guess what he did with
that postcard.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
Returned it to sender.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
Thumb tacked it to his bed. Dude, is all in
super pumped. Gotta give it the teacher credit. That's sentimental.
That is sentimental and so creative. It's so creative.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
I thought it was a long lost lover of mine
from Austin.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
No I knew it wasn't. But he gets it in
the mail and it's just like you want to talk
about getting a kid excited, like like looking forward to school.
That teacher absolutely nailed it.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
I need to send your kid a postcard.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
Nailed it. Cousin Andrew sent the boys a postcard from Cooperstown,
New York, from the Hall of Fame, and they got
it on Friday, and it said, Hey, boys, I was
just at the you know, Baseball Hall of Fame. It's
a big museum where they have old bats and gloves,
and I saw people like Ernie Banks and Babe Ruth stuff.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
Man, you're gonna see Peter Rose and he said.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Maybe one day, I'll see your bat and glove here
in the Hall of Fame. And the boys are like
across the street at the good Will, they said, he
said in Cooperstown, and my boys were like, wait, they
can take our bat and glove and put it there.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Yeah, from Little League.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
I said, yes, if you're good enough, if you play,
and you're one of the greatest baseball players to ever
play the game.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
Kid, one time they retired one of my condoms.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
Kid, No, no, they didn't do that. And so the
first day of school and then here here's another cool thing.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
I was a part of the Black Sox. Kid, We're
the ones that started BETONAM Baseball. There's a documentary about it.
That's a great movie, Black Socks.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
I don't know what you're talking about.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
It is one for the record books.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Is it a documentary? No, just called black Socks.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Yeah, just google it, man, hit it into Gemini, give
it a little AI. I don't know. Tell Surrey.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
I just go to the search bar on my TV
and then I type it in and tells me what
service it's on. It's pretty genius freaking thing. Instead of
googling it on the internet, you just go to your
TV and type it in. Yeah, our TV has been freezing.
Baser says, we have too many connected so what do
we do?
Speaker 1 (04:54):
Turn it off? I gonna sit for five minutes smart watch,
black screen.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
I mean I haven't watched TV. I mean I guess
I watched thirty minutes. Last night. I watched one episode
of Always Sonny in Philadelphia. I think we're on season eight.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
Ray it wasn't sunny that day?
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Yea, the episode was Scott a dumb. They go out
to dinner and there they all happen to be at
the same restaurant, not sitting at the same table. It
wasn't that funny. I was like, Okay, this episode wasn't
that good, but the show overall is good. But anyway,
back to the first day of school. So then the
kindergarten teacher, Miss Curry. You know what she gave the
kids on Meet the Teacher Day three point shot. She
(05:28):
gave him a folder and a charm bracelet, and you
got to pick out your charms.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
Okay, Travis Kelcey.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
And Baby Box two picked out one soccer one and
two basketball ones. Because you got to pick out three.
They only had one soccer one, so he would have
got all soccer if he could.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
She's like, I don't have the soccer charm. It's not
really popular in America.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
No, it's super popular, and you guys just are overestimating
how popular soccer is. So then she also gave him
a folder and in that folder man with some magical stars,
and it had a poem attached to it, and it
was like the night before school, everything is ready to go.
Your backpack is packed, your clay clothes are laid out,
(06:12):
and then it goes into like, oh, and you may
get some jittery feelings in your stomach because you're a
little nervous. But these magical stars, you sprinkle them under
your pillow and it will make you have magical dreams,
so you'll wake up rested and ready for a great
year ahead. And I'm gonna sprinkle some under my pillow too.
Can't wait to start kindergarten with you. Did you bring
(06:33):
any of them in? No? I should have. And I
was like, this is what it's all about, And I mean,
you want to talk about making him so happy. He
had a whole bag of stars, but he's like, Dad,
I'm only gonna put two under my pillow because I
want to save them for throughout the year. Then he
gave a star to little brother and a star to
(06:53):
older brother to put under their pillow.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
Gave a star to you in case you get nervous
for the big.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Show last night.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
See, I don't get nervous during your bonehead.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Story of the day last night. He did give a
star to my wife and I. He said, I want
you guys to each have a star. You can safely
put it in the trash. Absolutely not. It is under
my pillow.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
You don't do a pillow flip. You don't do a
pillow under the hips. No.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
I lay right on my pillow and I don't move. Dude,
that pillow doesn't move anywhere. I'm telling you because you
know what kids will do. They will go check the
next day, the day after the day after that to
see if you put the star under your pillow. When
he gets home from school today, I guarantee you he's
looking in our room to see if the stars under
our pillow.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
I never got nervous today.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
I did your bonehead story of the day.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
No.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
So, then the first day of school, they ride bikes
to school and he wears his little charm bracelet because
he wants to show the teacher how much he loves it.
He's so excited.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
Well, teacher got him decked out like there's went to
a Taylor Swift concert.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
Correct, And I'll hang up and listen.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
Not a fan.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
You didn't hang up?
Speaker 1 (08:04):
Great, that one's not plugged in. Not a fan. I'll
hang up and listen.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
There you go. So we're sitting there, and then yesterday
after school, the kindergarteners get out at eleven thirty. They
have a half day the first two days and Baby
Box two's little buddy that's in his class. His parents
don't have they can't come get him, so he has
to come to our house. So we got two kindergarteners
fresh off their first day at the house, just wrecking shop,
(08:31):
playing tennis in the front yard, playing bad minton, hitting
tennis balls into the street, running out in front of cars.
I mean, it's you're chaos. There's games strewn across.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
All over the floor there.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
They got bottles of water on the front porch, playing.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
Bowling, oh kid bud lights.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
I mean, they are having the time of their life
and they're like wanting to do everything and anything. Then
we had an incident. Baby Boxes Baby Box two's buddy.
He swung open the door bam, cracked himself in the head,
shock her gushing blood and I'm like, I we're in
(09:09):
the kitchen. I hear and I'm like, what what? And
he comes in and he's got blood just streaming down
his face. I'm like, oh my gosh, first day at kindergarten.
His parents send him to our house because he needs
somewhere to go for two days. And he's gonna go
(09:31):
home with stitches. I mean, he's got a cash on
his forehead, blood coming down. So we and I'm like,
why were you trying to fight the door, dude? And
he starting He kind of laughed at that, and I'm like,
do you want one band aid or fifty? I only
need one band ad. I need one band aid. And
then nurse that lives down the street, she was walking,
so we texted her and she stopped by because we
(09:51):
didn't know if we needed a stitch or not, and
she goes, no, I just think you're good. Put some
neosporing on it, put a band aid on that bat,
and he'll be good to go.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
Like your own community, we really are, dude.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
The neighborhood is amazing. Self sufficient, that's what we do,
and so we do that. And then baby Box, you know,
he rides his bike home and then it pure chaos
breaks out because the bus it's a new bus driver,
and there was chaos on the bus because nurse Textan goes,
oh my gosh, have you guys seen the bus? Like
the bus just drove by and my son didn't get off,
(10:26):
And I'm like, and then this other dad, he has
a second grader and a fourth grader and they've never
rode the bus for they've always been car riders. He's
sitting at the bus stop and he's like, I put
Apple air tags on him just in case. I put
air tags on him. I'm like, dude, they're walking out
of school and get on the bus. What can happen?
He goes, they got to have Apple air tags. They
have to And and my younger son's already at home.
(10:47):
Another one's still on the bus. The air tag is
showing me that one's at home and one's still on
the bus. How is that bossible, sir? And the bus
was really late because I guess leaving school they were
doing some checklist of who was getting on the bus,
making sure everything. So it's really late.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Glad it was organized. Teachers are doing those trapper keepers
and stars and charm bracelets.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
Maybe we run the bus routes.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
A couple of times.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
I understand what you're saying. And he's just in there,
going and he goes. And my wife couldn't even bother
to take off work to come here and be with
me for the bus. I mean, I'm glad this was
important for her.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
Oh he was being serious.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
Oh he was not happy. And he was like, I
don't know if the bus is a good idea.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
Now, John, John just calmed down. Remember we're fun, We're
the fun parents, We're the fun committee.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
He was like, I don't know, I don't know. I
don't know if he's I don't know what's going on.
We maybe we shouldn't have done the bus. We shouldn't
have done the bus. Just go pick him up, bring
him home, throw him out. And then the bus pulls
up on the wrong corner. So the bus driver's all backwards.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
So bus driver didn't practice throughout. No.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Bus driver's very confused. And I step up on the bus.
He's from Detroit, and I yell Perry, and she goes, sir,
you cannot get on the bus. You are not allowed
to get on the bus. And I'm like, hey, Perry,
you forgot to get off of your stop. Man like
your mom's calling like and she goes, sir, get down.
(12:08):
She's like, sir, get off the bus, ma'am. I understand.
It's a citizens' help. And so Perry comes up to
the front of us and he's getting off and he
looks very confused, very confused. He's like, why am I
getting off here? I said, well, why didn't you get
off of your stop?
Speaker 1 (12:22):
What's he confused for? He's a kid, listen to the
parents get off the bus.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
And she was like, and he goes, the bus didn't stop. Perry,
stop being a dump, and she goes, you gotta stick
with me. This is my first day, my first day.
Who Parry or the bus drivers yelling at me. She's like,
you gotta stick with me.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
Him her down, ma'am unless you want a bus.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
Video goes viral on X. You got to understand this
my first day. Trust me, they are in good hands.
I am a good bus driver. I didn't they had
on the sheet, they didn't have the bus stop written down.
I drove right past it. I'm about to make my
way back over there, and I said, oh okay, Perry,
sit back down, and I said, I thank you, ma'am.
And the other two kids guess what they were both
(12:59):
on the bus. So those Apple Air tags, they're not
one hundred percent accurate.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
It was giving a bad reading. Yeah, we've done them.
Usually they are. That's odd. Maybe one was low on batteries.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
And so we do all that don't live THEMI on
batteries raid made overseas, and so we just start talking
about the first day at home, and you know, baby
Box talks a little bit about how he's on the
Green team and if they earn enough points they get
to eat lunch in the classroom with the teacher.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
Oh storry day, Oh my gosh.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
Do you understand how cool that was as a kid
to eat in your classroom with the teacher.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
I'm gonna tell you right now, might not want to
win that one.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
I'll never forget it, Miss Butler. Second grade, we called
that lunch bunch. If you got to eat the classroom,
you were part of lunch bunch. Ah, I'll never forget it.
What a great honor that was. It was so cool.
It's a guy teacher.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
He's in there eating a pizza, farting.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
That's not fun, that's not cool. But miss Butler, we'd
sit there and we'd rubb her feet and stuff. It
was fantastic. So he's excited about that. They colored these
little crowns that say first day of first grade. I mean,
he was wearing it around the house so proud of it.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
What are the crowns? No Kings Club or something.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
No, it's just like first day of first grade. Man,
it's no big deal. And then we're sitting down to dinner.
We eat, and the other kindergartener, his mom comes and
picks him up, and he doesn't want to leave. He's like,
I want to stay here. I want to stay here.
And these kids are going to be absolutely wiped today
because they had such a big day and then they
came over and played for hours, so their attitudes are
(14:30):
gonna be terrible today. But that's not here nor there.
So then we're getting ready for bed and it hit
me and I asked baby box too. I said, hey, man,
where's your charm bracelet? Where's your little bracelet thing?
Speaker 1 (14:43):
I threw it away. I thought it was glad that
one didn't work. What I threw it away. It was.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
And I was like, he goes like, I don't know.
I was like, wait, what do you mean you don't know?
Speaker 1 (14:57):
And he goes loost in battle.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
The lot.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
He starts crying the one that was in here.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
Yeah, he starts crying, Honey, get the yarn and beads.
And I mean he was like oh, and he is.
He's bawling, and I'm like.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
Oh, you gotta retrace his steps.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
We're in the middle of reading stories at seven fifteen
at night, seven thirty at night.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
And then Honey Muktar passed it to Sam Surage over
to Zimmerman.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
We were in the middle of reading the second book
of the Night of our three that we usually read,
and I said, you know what, Bud, here, I'll let
mom finish the book. I'll retrace your steps. I will
take the same path you rode your bike to school
to the Dollar General by a couple of beads. And
there I am with my phone and a flashlight on
(15:50):
my phone and a regular flashlight.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
I saw you, pedophile get off the company grounds. Good.
I'm a dad.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
I got a beating bracelet.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
I'm looking forward and.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
I was going I couldn't find it couldn't find it,
and then I get all the way to the school
and then it hit me. I know where it is
because we knew because my wife took pictures and he
had it on when he left on his bike, and
when he was walking into school he didn't have his
on his wrist and her pictures.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
Oh, he dropped it in the urinal. All right, I'll
be nothing.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
No, no, no, it wasn't in the jurnal because he
didn't have it going into school. So somewhere between home
and the going up the steps to school he lost it.
So I knew that it had to be along that path.
So I'm doing my best flashlight boom boom boom, get
all the way to the school, and then it hit me.
I know where it is. The bike rack.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
Homeless guy stole it from when he's.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
Putting on the lock on his bike. It probably fell
off because he's hitting his wrist along the So I'm
over there in the grass, digging over there by the
bike rack. No, brother, you got a dollar.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
I'm digging too, man, trying to find a place.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
To poop nothing. And then I go over there where
they had a table set up out front where they're
snacks and refreshments for the first day of school. Hey, brother,
you live on these grounds too, to wait. Welcome everybody
to school. And I'm searching that grass. There's leaves everywhere.
I'm moving the leaves, bro, They're not so bad.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
It's only been a couple of nights.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
It's pretty nice at night.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
You need a blanket in early hours.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
And now it's pitch blackout. Now it's dark and I'm
like digging, and here comes some lady walking her dog.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
Here we go. She's gonna think she's about to get touched.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
And she literally gets off the sidewalk. I'm not even
on the sidewalk. I'm in the grass. But she sees
me like creeping on the elementary school grounds. She gets
in the middle of the road.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
Metal detective.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
She gets in the middle of the road and walks
and just looking at me, looking at me, like, what
is this guy doing.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
I would have been two streets over, dude. When I'm
walking to the gym in the morning, I see anybody
that moves. I'm on two streets off Broadway. I'll see
you on de Mumbrian.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
Yeah. So she gave me like a creepy feel like
she was about to call the police on me. I
searched for another twenty minutes.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
May I'm not like I'm gonna touch you or anything.
I'm married. Look at my ring.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
Doesn't mean anything.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
You could still touch me. She sounds like Arnold.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
And he couldn't find I couldn't find it.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
Yeah, no, crap man, buy some new crap A dollar general.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
I think that he probably dropped it. Another kid found it,
picked it up, put it in their backpack. I think
it is lost forever.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
Well, super dad failed, Where's your kryptonite? Now? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (18:15):
Then I had to ride my bike home and the
pitch black, dodging cars, making sure no one, you know,
I didn't get in any accidents. Got home, talked to
the wife and she was like, he said he was
going to ask his teacher in the morning, you know.
And I said, well, miss Curry obviously doesn't have it
because he didn't have it on his wrist when he
went in the school. And she was like, oh, yeah,
(18:35):
that's right. And so I don't know what happened.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
Possible for us to pull the surveillance tape.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
Right I'm asking if anybody has any video footage of
the route to school, if they could send it to
me that way, we know kind of where it fell off.
I mean I'm looking where, I looked everywhere, and it
was on his right arm. So I was looking on
the right side because I knew it wouldn't be on the.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
Left coach and we got to take a break. Love
the breakdown of the bracelet, and I have to go
to the bathroom.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
Never found it. But then here's an update. This morning,
my wife said, the two kids that rode the bus
with the Apple Air tags, they weren't at the bus stop.
Dad drove them. I think they are done with the
bus after one day they got kidnapped. No, I think
they gave up on the bus after one day.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
Man.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
One day. So that was the first day of school.
And I'm telling you what. Welcome back kids, Welcome back,
Welcome back Cotter. We'll take a break, We'll be right back. Yo,
We've got to start the show, dude. We did a
whole segment about the first day of school and we
didn't even talk about the introductions. Yeah, that's my camera
(19:40):
now sorry, I am the captain. Now start start the
dang show. Hey, let me reach over to this mouse
all the way over here, O quick. Hey, we're on
fire with the cameras. Okay, the cameras are a real
big distraction, but people love them. People seem to like them.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
I was editing the clips because now I'm a video
editor as well as an audio guy, and I never sleep. Guys,
the jobs never end. And she goes, why is that
one camera? I just focused on lunch or just focus
on you. She's like, why doesn't it flip to the
other person when the other person's talking? And I go, well,
that would be lunchbox, that's his job.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
She was so mad at the program. She's like, that's
so stupid. Why does it not switch to lunchbox? And
I was like, because he was operating the switchboard.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
I did talk to the engineer a minute ago, and
he said he has a beta version that will get
it where whoever is speaking, it flips back and forth.
They have set it up in studio. See they are
testing it out and if it does work, he's going
to roll it out to the rest of the studios.
So that might be coming shortly. And I do have
a bus update for you. I just got a text
(20:46):
from my wife that baby Box two and his buddy
were riding the bus home today and they got out
at eleven thirty and she was supposed to be out
to the bus stop and the bus driver was calling
her because she was not there and they were the
only two on the bus.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
Uh the bus problem, kids, teachers, air tags, cameras. Lost
my train of thought. Man, that's what it was beta.
He said, it's a beta program.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
Yes, it's a beta program, So I guess it's a
tester and if they like it, they're gonna roll it
out in all the studios because you're beta Box. Start
the freaking show. It's been started. No it hasn't. You
have not played the music that says no, no, no, no, you.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
Can't hear it.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
No, I can barely starting. Okay, go al, let's do
it live. We are the one, two three, sore loser.
What up, everybody? I am Lunchbox. I know the most
about sports, so I'll give you the sports facts, my
sports opinions, because I'm pretty much a sports genius.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
What's up, y'all? It is Sison. I'm from the North.
I'm an alpha male. I live on the North side
in Nashville geographically. If you're looking at it. Not to
get too boring, but we do have two Acres. We
had two kids at Vanderbilt. Justin has been in the
depression Den. He should be checking on the kids. No idea.
If he has been in the electrophysiology unit, and then
I will die of a heart attack when I'm seventy two.
(22:15):
I thought about retiring from the podcast in two years.
I've decided not to. And there's also been some recent
online comments about me on this podcast that I would
like to address. If the court may allow.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
It, I think we will allow it. I will just say,
speaking of depression Den, Battersbox has made it to Orange Beach, Alabama,
where he is spending some time with his wife and son.
Not sure what they're doing. I know that he had
a sickness called COVID. He got over that, then apparently
his wife had it, and then they drove to Orange Beach, Alabama.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
No idea.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
We have not heard from them since they took a
picture in front of the sign that said sweet Home Alabama.
That's all we have everybody that's Batter's Box here with us,
So I'm gonna talk to you about something.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
Ray. I got an email a Batter's Box if you
ever do listen to this podcast. I don't make fun
of your lisp. I don't know why. Four years ago
we started doing it. You randomly rushed into an office bathroom.
I get sometimes you have a lisp when you don't
have a lisp, And for whatever reason, for the next
four years we have made fun of you. He really
doesn't have a lisp.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
It just sounds like it's in this clip. What if
everybody that's a batter's box here with a special.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
And you should never kids, speaking of school, you should
never make fun of somebody for having a lisp, and
you can overcome it. So all that to say, I
got that off my chest over to you.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
Well, I'm greatly appreciative if you apologizing to my brother
and you know, for making fun of his lisp. But
when you have a lisp, you have a lisp. It's
nothing to be ashamed of. Be proud of who you are.
But anyway, I got an email and it was from
none other then Nash Soccer Club.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
All right, let's not knock them, guys.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
Here we go.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
I've been the biggest supporter of Sam Surage.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
Hey guys, it's that time for Meet the Team night
at Geotis Park. Been here before, bring your family out
to meet all the players and all and have some
fun at the stadium and do some different activities. Everybody'll
be there except for Sam, Surge and Muktar. So I'm like,
here we go again. The last time we went to
(24:31):
meet the team night, it was an absolute disaster.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
Remember it, well, pizza, hot dogs, you would try to
get a pass. It wasn't good in one area. Food
was an issue. Going down and seeing the players, believe
the kids got sad, cried. Maybe all I remember Truckers.
You guys can probably recall the same with me.
Speaker 2 (24:50):
You can look back for that old episode because I
don't want to rehash the old memories of not being
able to go down and take penalty kicks, about not
going to watch some of the players speak because we
didn't ever risk not being able to go down over
there because we didn't have a wristband, and my wife
snapping at the security guard saying, then what can we do?
I don't want to relive that.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
So that's on a T shirt. That's an epic line
in Sore Loser's history. Then what can we do?
Speaker 2 (25:14):
That's a good one. Add that to the list we're
getting around. Are you ready ready?
Speaker 1 (25:19):
And we're not leaving justin at the drinking at the
water cooler. Don't really remember that exact quote.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
Uh anyway, So I'm like, I'm not going to have
this disaster again. I'm not going to have where it
is when we show up and we can't do anything.
So I respond to the email because it's from my
ticket rep, you know, the account executive.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
Usually we don't read outgoing emails.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
This is a first, and I said, hello, I am
excited to attend the Meet the Team night, but I
have a few questions this time. The last time we attended,
there was a lot of confusion and we were unable
to do anything. Pretty much everywhere needed a wristband for this,
a wristband for that. So I would like to know
(26:04):
before I go, is there a place I need to
sign up for these wristbands so my kids are not
denied access to all the different events going on at
Meet the Team event.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
Thank you so much for your help, Jason Gibble Kindly Gibbler,
three days go by, no reply. That's probably their generic
email they give to everybody. You should have sent it
from the Big Show email, not sore losers at hotmail
dot gmail.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
Here's the deal. Then, I get an email about my
ticket renewal. Do you you know it's time to renew
your season tickets for next year?
Speaker 1 (26:41):
Money's tight hit me in a year.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
Please reply if you would like to, you know, renew
your season tickets will go ahead and charge your credit card.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
Not until we see if the convention is a red
or black.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
And I replied and I said I would love to
renew my season tickets. We're good to go, replied within
the hour. Oh oh weird, still ever, replied to my
other email. So I went ahead and replied and said
that sounds great, but also I'd like some answers to
my questions that I eenmailed you about three days ago.
And I copied the email, pasted it in there, and said,
(27:14):
can you answer the questions above?
Speaker 1 (27:16):
So you, being a season ticket holder, you're probably gonna
get more prompt responses than the average person on the streets. Yeah,
which tells me people to dm us and maybe give
us stuff. If they give us stuff, you always think,
camera me. You always think, guys when people are giving
you crap, that it's free. It's free. But the big picture,
(27:36):
essentially they're giving you an upfront box, but they will
have your ear for the next year, two years in
your DM inbox. Maybe they get your cell phone number
where they can ask you any question they want about
the big show or a little show. So was that
original gift free? Probably not, Just like you, emailing is
(27:58):
at a benefit you're paying for and tickets, so that
you should get one of their ears and I'll hang
up and listen.
Speaker 2 (28:05):
So I sent that follow up email after three days
of not hearing anything. Three days later, it's time to
go meet the team, and guess what, I have not
received an email from the ticket rep. Not a single
reply to one of my questions.
Speaker 1 (28:21):
Yeah, that's maybe one on a Friday night, you want
to have a couple too many drinks fire off an email.
Speaker 2 (28:26):
So I'm frustrated. But I haven't told the kids anything
about meet the team because I don't want to get
their hopes up like I did last time. Because last
time it was like, come down on the field, have
penalty kicks. I'm like, I'm not going to tell them
anything about it. So I just said, guys, we're going
to go do something fun, and we start getting dressed
up and they're like, we're going to a Nashville soccer game.
We're going to a Nashville soccer game. I'm like, Nope,
(28:49):
not saying we are. We know we are. We know
we are because we're wearing our jerseys.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
Now we're going to thigh and porkers.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
What was that called smoking thighs? And I said, no,
I'm not saying what we're doing. Well, I know, I know.
I got my hat on, I know what we're doing. Dad,
make sure you bring a marker because after the game
they may sign autographs. Okay, So we drive, we park
in the parking lot right next to the stadium, and
in the gates it says it starts at five point thirty.
Apparently gates open at five thirty because we were there
(29:15):
at five point fifteen and the line was a mile
long down the block. So it was to the interstate,
is what you're saying. It felt like it was to
the Interstate. It was a long way. We're standing out
in the extreme, extreme heat, and I'm thinking, man, there's
this many season ticket holders and I pull up my
(29:36):
email and it says at the end of the email,
I forgot this part. It says, Oh, and if you'd
like to invite some of your friends, here's the link.
They can RSVP thanks. Wou no, no, no, that pull up?
You pull up?
Speaker 1 (29:49):
Yeah, I woant have pulled up to Nashville Geico or
whatever they call it.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
G otis. Here's my problem as a season ticket holder.
There should not be anybody that's not a season ticket holder,
because what's the benefit of being a season ticket holder?
Then bingo, you should have access to these kind of
events dart bullseye that they are not allowed to come to. Sorry, pointer,
if you want to meet the team and have this
special interaction. I understand you want to grow your fan base,
(30:14):
but you should take care of your season ticket holders.
Because I still don't have an email back. I know
you want to grow your fan base like you want
to grow your weed.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
Not trying to get political.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
So I'm like, all right, whatever, we wait and lie.
I tell the kids you go stand in the shade.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
And also, this line's a mile long at five point fifteen,
telling me right now that the maybe the demographic of
the Nashville Soccer Club is freelancers, stay at home, maybe
unemployed who can get to a stadium at five I'll
hang up and listen.
Speaker 2 (30:44):
Great point. So we wait in line. Doors finally open
and they start handing out little like flyers, like telling
you exactly where who's going to be. Like number one
is going to be where Walker Zimmerman is and a
couple other players. Number two is where Sam Surge and
a couple other place. Number three is where Joe Willis
and a couple other players will be. And it has
(31:06):
all the little kid knew.
Speaker 1 (31:09):
That's pretty impressive when a kid that young knows more
players than me. I got closed though, I got muck Tar,
I know Sam Surge, Joe Willis is new to me though.
Speaker 2 (31:16):
The goalie he's a goalie, all right. And so I'm like,
I'm looking at it and it says station number four
is where you check in for the locker room tours.
And I'm like, oh, here we go. This is something
you had to pre register for that I never got
an email about, but whatever, And I decide We're going
to go straight to that spot because the locker room
(31:37):
tour will be the coolest thing the kids will ever see.
Speaker 1 (31:40):
Like where your head's at.
Speaker 2 (31:41):
I'm thinking you can meet the players later. Let's make
sure we are part of the locker room tour. And
we finally get in the door and we get over
to the table and it's like, I mean by the
time we get to the table, it's five point fifty two.
Wife roll No, wife was not there. Wife had some
appointment PTA or PTO meeting some crap. I mean, another appointment,
(32:03):
another appointment. Don't worry about it. Always got an appointment
when there's something going on. And so we go to
the table and all these people are like, oh, we're
here to check in for the tour, and I'm like,
these people are SVP. They knew they were supposed to
r SVP. I'm like, I'm gonna try it anyway. And
I'm like, yeah, we want to do a locker room tour.
They're like, oh, this, you know, six o'clock is all full,
(32:24):
but six fifteen here, we'll give you a six fifteen
wrist band boom. And I'm like, oh my gosh, okay,
let's go, boys, we're gonna get to go down to
the locker room. They're starting to freak out. We're gonna
go in the locker room. Dead, We're gonna go in
the locker room. I'm like yeah, And I'm like, let's
get a couple of autographs where we go and I
walk by where the players are supposed.
Speaker 1 (32:44):
To be who patrons. Hey, Jim from sales, would you
mind signing this for my kid? Make sure the sharpie works.
Speaker 2 (32:51):
No, I was gonna go to where the lines were
for the autographs, but they were already long enough that
I was like, guys, let's just go do the locker room.
Then we'll do the autographs. So we got to walk
down on the field and we got to sit on
the bench and they took pictures on the bench like
their players. Oh my gosh, they're feeling so cool.
Speaker 1 (33:08):
You're called in son, get in their box too, the announcers, uh,
coming in now, number two, box number two.
Speaker 2 (33:18):
So then we get to walk up the tunnel where
Nashville sc comes out, and this is where they're just like,
oh my gosh, Oh my gosh, this is so cool.
So I had them walk down the tunnel and I
stood at the front and I said, all right, now
run out like you're a player, and they came running out.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
Whoo.
Speaker 2 (33:36):
Yeah. They made me take a picture against every wall.
They wanted to take a picture against every single wall
in that place that was under the stadium because they'd
never seen it. It was so cool, so electric. Then
we go in and we go in the press room
where they hold their they talk to the media after
the games, and they got to sit.
Speaker 1 (33:56):
Up there, sons, this is what your dad does. I'm
part of the.
Speaker 2 (34:01):
They sat at the microphone and I took pictures of him,
and they got to talking to the mic. Go Nashville,
and they're like, thanks for coming tonight, Go Nashville as
part of the media. Did you ask a question?
Speaker 1 (34:13):
Uh? Yes, right here in the back Gibbles from West Nashville.
Quick question, why would you rate tonight's performance? So hang
up and listen. Thank you guys for your time.
Speaker 2 (34:26):
Were you in that room?
Speaker 1 (34:28):
You did that?
Speaker 2 (34:29):
I literally asked him, how'd you think it went tonight day?
Speaker 1 (34:32):
We know you you're not a reporter.
Speaker 2 (34:35):
I'm serious on the media.
Speaker 1 (34:37):
This is my damn job.
Speaker 2 (34:39):
So I was like, all right, that's what I did.
You know what I mean? I did ask those questions
and then we'd leave that room, walk across the hall.
Speaker 1 (34:46):
Apparent sees it. Yeah, it was literally a reporter in
there asking some of the kids questions. And it must
have been from the Tennessee and or it looked pretty professional.
It might have honestly been the Nashville Sentinel or maybe
the Nashville broad Way Times.
Speaker 2 (35:01):
Or it may have been someone from ESPN because they're
really getting into the soccer coverage and they had an
MLS guy on site.
Speaker 1 (35:06):
Oh no, not ESPN with soccer that's there. It's all WNBA,
WNBA and dildos. Every score but a baseball or football score.
All you gotta scroll all the way down at the
very top of ESPN WNBA.
Speaker 2 (35:20):
That's wild, right, it's propaganda.
Speaker 1 (35:22):
We're pawns.
Speaker 2 (35:23):
Anyway, Time to move to where Rosie is. So then
we get to walk into the locker room.
Speaker 1 (35:28):
Man or that other lady Ellen, she went to the
coast of Italy.
Speaker 2 (35:33):
We walk in that locker room and these kids are
going crazy. They are running to every locker.
Speaker 1 (35:38):
Dad.
Speaker 2 (35:38):
This is Walker Zimmerman's locker dad. This is Joe Willis's
locker dad. This is Honey Moottar's locker And we sat
there and took pictures in all their lockers and they
stood on the benches and they were just like it was.
They were a cloud nine. So this team meet, the
team of it is off to a fantastic start, right
all the you know in the years past, how I said, Oh,
(35:59):
it's so terrible, so terrible. I'm like, this is fantastic.
We had access to the locker room. Yeah, and we
opened the drawer and what's in there?
Speaker 1 (36:09):
I don't know. A dildo.
Speaker 2 (36:11):
No, everybody slides their their sandals. I thought it was
gonna be their cleats and everything, but they took all
those out because I figure people try to steal them.
But we took pictures. Then we went into their little
like cafeteria where they eat and they have meals and smoothies.
The dining hall. Kids were loving it and the security
guard is talking about it and they're like, dad, dad,
look at this.
Speaker 1 (36:30):
This is it.
Speaker 2 (36:31):
It was great.
Speaker 1 (36:31):
Does security guards just talking sounds like tight security.
Speaker 2 (36:35):
Yeah, he's talking about hot Yeah.
Speaker 1 (36:39):
Well the history of the stadium.
Speaker 2 (36:40):
Let me finish this real quick.
Speaker 1 (36:42):
So yeah, this team has been around for five year.
Yeah I'm pretty good this year.
Speaker 2 (36:47):
Thanks man.
Speaker 1 (36:48):
Maybe guard the exits. The security guards given the tour
not what I want my security guard doing. I want
him bouncing people out of there.
Speaker 2 (37:01):
It was a fantastic tour, dude. You know why because
it was a self guided tour. You could stay in
that locker room as long as you want it. There
was no in and out, like, oh my gosh, there's
fifteen people in your group. Let's walk you through. You
got to take a picture, as many pictures as you
want it.
Speaker 1 (37:16):
It was awesome until the team plays again at home
and there's gum on a guy's cleats, you know, trying
to get traction with the old golden leg.
Speaker 2 (37:26):
It was baby box too, That was his slime. That
dude you're watching the game down go Zeroman. It looks
like he got his shoes stuck in the turf.
Speaker 1 (37:34):
There's some sort of blue slime that's like baking soda
that just bakes onto his cleat. It looks like you
can't even wash it out, kind of like something those
kids have nowadays.
Speaker 2 (37:45):
Well, Jim, I do know they had tours at the
meet the team nine. I guess some kid got slime
in the locker room and they really screwed the nationalistc.
Now Walker Zeroman's having to come out of the game
because his cleats are all slimed up.
Speaker 1 (37:56):
And usually their white jerseys are white. Now they have
a tent pee colored urine. Odd. We'll be back after
this Nashville Soccer on Apple TV.
Speaker 2 (38:08):
So then as we're leaving the locker room, we're leaving,
we're going back down the tunnel.
Speaker 1 (38:13):
Yeah, I mean, at what point do we move on?
Speaker 2 (38:15):
I'm like, hey, boys, you guys walk out the tunnel,
I'll stay behind you. And I'm thinking they're just gonna
run out like individuals. No, Baby Box one's like, guys,
get over here, and he puts his arm around Baby
Box two, and baby Box two puts his arm around
baby Box three and they marched out the tunnel together, rude, boxy, boxy, boxy,
(38:38):
boxy boxy. It was like a heartfelt video moment to
see them all three levels because they're all different heights
walking out of that tunnel together. And I sat there
and just watched it, enjoyed it. And one of the
security guards jumps out of the picture so he's not
in it, and he goes, I gotta tell you, man,
(38:59):
that's a great scene right there. He goes, that is beautiful.
Speaker 1 (39:02):
Is he drunk?
Speaker 2 (39:03):
He was not drunk. He was a really nice guy.
Speaker 1 (39:05):
And that's a picture actually, So you would have if
all the ones you took to lead them all, the
one you need is the three boys going out into
the field. You're down, perfect shadow. That's it. That's going
on the Facebook because there are no faces.
Speaker 2 (39:18):
Yeah, we'll take a break. We'll be right back. Ray.
Speaker 1 (39:21):
I didn't take a picture of that moment.
Speaker 2 (39:23):
No, I did take a picture. I did take a picture.
So then they're like, all right, Dad, can we go
meet some of the players. Can we go meet some
of the players. I'm like, yeah, no problem, let's go
up there. And we go up there and get in
line with Walker Zimmerman and two other players and Ray
when I say, we stood in line for one hour
and seventeen minutes because there were so many freaking people
(39:47):
there that my kids, after forty five minutes of standing
in line were losing their crap. They started running around
the place, and I said, you go ahead, go run
around the place, man uh. And we we get to
about fifteen people from Walker Zimmerman, another two guys, and
baby Box three. He's like, Dad, I gotta go poop poo.
Speaker 1 (40:08):
Oh jerseys are brown.
Speaker 2 (40:09):
Now I'm like what, He goes, Dad, I gotta go
poop poo I said, Bud, We're almost to the front
of the line. He goes, Dad, I can't hold it,
so I have to leave Baby Box one and Baby
Box two in line while I go to the pooper
with Baby Box three.
Speaker 1 (40:24):
You got to tell him and teach you how to
do the duck walk ball been there.
Speaker 2 (40:28):
And so we go and we run to the bathroom.
Luckily we were in one They put all the players indoors,
like in a club suite, and there was a bathroom
in there. So we went in the bathroom and he
drops a load, and I'm like, are you done yet?
Speaker 1 (40:41):
No?
Speaker 2 (40:41):
No, no, And I'm like, dude, we're gonna You're gonna
miss Walker Zimmerman. You are going to miss meeting Walker Zimmerman.
And he finally gets done and we get out there
and we run back. Three people in front of us.
We made it in time to meet Walker Zimmerman and
two other guys, Tyler boy and another guy that honeycut
(41:03):
or home Honeycomb, I don't remember his name.
Speaker 1 (41:05):
Yeah, he was the Honeycomb man. And did you tell
him the kid was taking a slash reverse?
Speaker 2 (41:11):
No, I didn't. I didn't mention anything about taking a dump.
I made sure he washed his hands because we don't
take it. We're gonna meet the players. So we get
a picture with Walker Zimmerman, Tyler Boyd and the other
guy Honeycomb or honeycut I don't remember, and They're like,
all right, dad, let's go meet Surage, Let's go meet
Joe Willis and we go and they're like, sorry, events over, guys,
the event's over. I'm like what, Like, yeah, it ended
(41:34):
at seven. I can't get in line anymore, I said,
but we've only met three of the players. Yeah, sorry, sorry, man,
another thing we can do. You gotta get out meet
the rest on Apple TV. So it started out fantastic.
The locker room was the greatest decision. We had so
smart to go there first. But the line control ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (41:59):
Yeah, and also I worked facilities, guys, so we all
have families to get home to. Not I'm kidding. We
had a kegger to get home too, so we tried.
We were booting people out. You were technically allowed to
stay at Texas State for over an hour that.
Speaker 2 (42:11):
Game was over.
Speaker 1 (42:12):
We were pushing people away, the seat filler or not
the seat fillers, people that pay for seats, the boosters.
We're over there taking their seats up. Thanks for coming,
I mean old ladies. We were pushing onto the wheelchair
ran let's go get a moving. We had a keger
intend to get to You're not staying at that stadium
for more than our flags down the second the game
(42:33):
was over, up there goes the old faithful flag gets dropped.
People thought a bomb went off in those mass casualties. No,
we just dropped the flag. It's time to get home.
Speaker 2 (42:42):
We gots to go.
Speaker 1 (42:45):
Dude, we had that stadium cleaned out. We could he
split them about thirty minutes after Texas State ended.
Speaker 2 (42:51):
Yeah, but that's my whole point is it's a fantastic thing.
It's a great idea, but they got to do staggered
times for people. They have to have certain players at
certain times, and you pick your window that you get
to go. Maybe have Walkers Zommerman in one window, honeymoont
Tarn and another windows so at least you get to
meet a superstar. But letting people invite their friends that
(43:12):
aren't seasoned ticket members and making people stand in line
for an hour and seventeen minutes and only getting to
meet three players out of the whole thing, it just
doesn't add up.
Speaker 1 (43:22):
From your mouth to their they heard you many.
Speaker 2 (43:26):
It was frustrating. My kids were sad, like, Dad, can
we go in that room? No? Man? Like, do you
see the security guard standing there with his arms crossed?
There's no one else allowed in there. Like, but Dad,
we only met three of the players. It said meet
the team, and I said, yeah, I know, but I
don't know what to tell you. It was apple White.
Apple White was the third player. Sorry, it just came
to me. It wasn't honey Comb. It was apple White.
(43:49):
So what I did is I knew it started with
an A. So I did at a Londack Mountains, Okay,
And so we left dejected. We're walking out of the stadium.
Speaker 1 (43:58):
That's a sign you're getting old when you have to
remember other things to remember a certain word. We never
did that in high school. You're getting old.
Speaker 2 (44:05):
It was a joke many it's called word association. No,
it was a joke. I've never done that. I just, uh,
apple White. I couldn't think of his name. He doesn't
ever play, so I couldn't think of his name. I
had Honeycomb for someone.
Speaker 1 (44:17):
I remember, mucktar, I'm like, because I don't give up,
and then that his name Remont rhymes with that, and
then I get tar sometimes on my car when I'm
going home, so it's muck tar.
Speaker 2 (44:30):
Yeah. So anyway, then as we're walking out of the stadium,
kids are dejected, and I'm like, sorry, guys, I don't know,
like I'm frustrated for you, like I'm angry, Like hour
in seventeen minutes to meet the players, just way too
long for one line and a national and s the
employee sees us and I'm gonna go with he recognized me.
(44:51):
I'm just I gotta believe he recognized me, because he
comes up and he goes, how many in your party?
And I said three, because I don't need anything. I'm
an adult. I get it, and he goes, hold on
one second, Hey, yeah, we expected you to go get
an autograph.
Speaker 1 (45:07):
Dude. It fread forty and he.
Speaker 2 (45:12):
Runs into the room and he comes out with a
jockstrap and he has three scarves and they're signed by
every single player on the team.
Speaker 1 (45:21):
It's the middle of summer, man, but signed.
Speaker 2 (45:25):
They were signed by every player on the team.
Speaker 1 (45:29):
Give him a round of applause. Whoever that facility's worker was,
you are better than I. That is going above and
beyond me close the stadium. You trying to make the
experience better for the kids.
Speaker 2 (45:42):
He said, I'm sorry some of the lines were out
of control. I know you didn't get to meet many players.
We've been hearing some feedback, so we're just trying to
get some people on the way out. We had the
players sign these before the event tonight to give out
to random people. So here you go, guys, go. You
each get one, which was cool, which was awesome, but
and I hate to sound ungrateful, but seeing the players
(46:03):
and meeting the players is more impactful than the kids
just getting assigned scarf. But they still loved it, and
they were so excited and they're like, Dad, now we
have every player's signature. So that was awesome by that dude.
And I'm glad you said what you said about me
being forty years old. I'm just trying to fill audio space.
(46:24):
I don't even know what I said. I know you're tired,
I know it, I get it.
Speaker 1 (46:30):
I'm just I told you I edited two hours worth
of audio. Okay, you could at least respect me and
condense your story about getting autographs to the locker room.
But it continued out to the I thought we were
done with autographs, and we're in the parking lot still
getting autographs.
Speaker 2 (46:49):
Get these kids home.
Speaker 1 (46:54):
The POD's over, man, I never got to my comments
on the internet.
Speaker 2 (46:59):
We'll take a break right back.
Speaker 1 (47:02):
Ray and then we're at a stop play a homeless
man stolen scarf to scarf. On the very bottom, it
says things, brother, I have never been famous before. You
guys made my day. Man. I used to play for
the Nashville team.
Speaker 2 (47:23):
No, I want to look right at the camera and
I'm gonna tell him something.
Speaker 1 (47:27):
I got it cry music.
Speaker 2 (47:29):
Listen to you, adults. If you have no children and
you're over the age of gosh, twenty one years old,
you do not need to be standing in line and
asking for autographs. You need to get a life. You
are too old to be asking for an autograph and
(47:51):
standing in line with homemade signs to get people to
sign them. Those events are designed for kids. They are
not designed for the fifth year old couple that has
nobody with them and they have six different items they
want to get signed. You're a freaking adult. It's embarrassing,
it's sad, and it ruins the experience for the kids.
(48:15):
My Lord, I cannot believe how many adults I saw
there with no kids, getting autographs, hogging the line, hogging
the time of the players. When you have kids that
are seven, five and three waiting in a line for
an hour and seventeen minutes. Get a life.
Speaker 1 (48:37):
They heard you after they came out of their parents'
basement and got breakfast this morning. They all heard what
you had to say.
Speaker 2 (48:46):
Do you want to do your comments or do you
want to wait till Friday?
Speaker 1 (48:49):
No? Hit me?
Speaker 2 (48:50):
Please tell me what happened I found. I'm sorry for
the long stories. I apologize. I just had some things
on my chest.
Speaker 1 (48:58):
It was fine, but I was just turning the page
of the autographs and what do you know, a miracle
scarf with autographs brings it back up. What a journey though.
You guys were there for hours.
Speaker 2 (49:10):
We were there for two and a half hours. Man,
this as long as a game. Yeah, yeah, I understand that.
And here's the problem. We were there two and a
half hours. We met three players. Yeah that's the problem.
Speaker 1 (49:21):
Meet this player. Hey, guys, So I got on the
internet and I found some comments about me, and they
were unsavory. They weren't friendly. They were cold, and they
were mean, and they were hateful. And I have considered
leaving the podcast because of these comments.
Speaker 2 (49:36):
I will lick my wounds, but allow me to You
are the most sensitives human being I've ever met. Good gosh,
but allow me to read them so I can just
get them off my conscience.
Speaker 1 (49:46):
I want to pretend they never happened, but I will
reconsider leaving the podcast in two years after reading these.
Here it is listen to hear Lunchbox's son so cute.
I just don't find race personality to be funny, so
I can't listen long. Next comment, that's my problem too.
By no means do I dislike Ray. I just don't
(50:08):
think he and LB of chemistry because LB is funny
and a family man. Can't believe I'm saying this, but
I wish LB and Amy had a spin off?
Speaker 2 (50:16):
What Amy from feeling your stuff? Good God? Final comment.
Speaker 1 (50:22):
I like listening to sore losers too, and agree with
you on Ray. Like him as a person, but sometimes
he's just too much and the vibe is off. I
would love for LB to co host with someone else,
but I don't know who at the moment. One time
I was thinking, Gator, that pits guy. Maybe I would
listen to Amy and LB for sure. Well you know
(50:42):
what is the camera looking at me? Well, vibe this
mother ger. Vibe this mother ger. All right, man, I'm
gonna redo my intro I will be considering leaving the
podcast in two years. Hang up, get out of here,
(51:03):
that's all.
Speaker 2 (51:03):
You didn't hang up? Wow, man, they said that. I'm
sorry about that, man.
Speaker 1 (51:10):
But also Gator. Really you think Gator would be a
better host to me? You don't even know what Gator
sounds like.
Speaker 2 (51:17):
I mean, how have you ever even heard of Gator?
Speaker 1 (51:19):
Like?
Speaker 2 (51:19):
Did you just hear the name somewhere? We said it
one time. I mean, I don't even understand that.
Speaker 1 (51:24):
You didn't even bring up a maybe the words viable,
a viable option as a filling co host. I get
the amy because they're on the big show together.
Speaker 2 (51:34):
But Gator, how.
Speaker 1 (51:36):
Do you know in all the audio in the world
what Gator sounds like as a podcast host. And I'll
hang up and listen. Gator, if you hear this, I'm
just playing around, Buddy, tip of the cap.
Speaker 2 (51:48):
Maybe it was Gator that made the comments. Maybe Gators
the ring. I don't understand Gayter is a.
Speaker 1 (51:54):
Program director who has heard audio of Gator that I'm missing,
that he's this amazing co host that's better than me.
And I'll hang up and listen.
Speaker 2 (52:07):
I mean, I don't even understand, Like, you don't even
know if he has a good personality.
Speaker 1 (52:11):
But that's how low and comment is. But they're recommending
a program director over me to host this podcast. I've
hit rock bottom and I've kept digging. Guys. This is
a low point in my career. Nothing on Gator, but
he hasn't had a show in ten years. You think
he still has the chops through a podcast. I've been
(52:33):
cutting my teeth every day. Yeah, come on down here
to this studio, and you know what, you could lick
my what.
Speaker 2 (52:46):
I was a low blown man. I told you it
wasn't pretty. I think we're going to I'm gonna go
to lunch with the kindergarteners. They're out at eleven thirty.
Baby Box two's got his buddy over, so I think
I think I'm gonna take him to lunch Celebrate.
Speaker 1 (52:59):
Two to day.
Speaker 2 (53:00):
He's a kindergarten Hold the doors, dude. He's got tape
on his head today to keep it closed.
Speaker 1 (53:07):
I was on your watch, dude, I was.
Speaker 2 (53:08):
On my watch man. I apologize. I apologize
