Speaker 1 (00:01):
We're gonna do it live.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
It's the start of a new season to night man
co ed soccer. We are back presented by Freelan Chevrolet.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
This show is not the soccer.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
I mean, well, maybe they want to sponsor the soccer.
Get us some new jerseys because we got some new
players coming in. Our goalie Matt has decided to go
out to pasture and retire. He's his mom has a
huge acreage, like in some small town north of here,
and she said, I'm gonna give you a plot of
that land so you can build a house on it.
And he said, man, if we're gonna be building a house,
(00:35):
I can't be driving back and forth to the games.
But I think it really is that kids. His wife
has a tough time getting all three of them down
to sleep at night. And that's why he has decided
to retire from Wednesday nights because I still believe he's
playing on Sundays. So I think it's just the Wednesday
night bedtime routine is kind of thrown off by our
(00:57):
soccer game. So we start a new season.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
I think that's beak for everybody. When I say, who
theck is this guy he's been with on my team
for you know, ten years, man.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
We're gonna do it live.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
The Sore Losers Convention is one hundred and sixty one
days away in Nashville, Tennessee twenty twenty seven, home of
the two thousand and thirty Super Bowl on Broadway Lower Broadway.
It will be just across the pedestrian bridge the super Bowl.
Maybe we have an event across the pedestrian bridge to
start to get you guys acclimated to that.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
Area over there.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
Right now, I believe it's just a metal scrapyard. They're
gonna build it up. I imagine in the next four
years they have to A super Bowl is coming to town,
and right now it houses sixty percent of the metal
in Tennessee manufacturing.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
There's no way they can build that in four years.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
I don't think so.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
They'll build some of it, but when they do, the
aerial guys leave off the part across from.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
The pedestrian bridge to the right because it gets dark
on a Friday night.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
They never show it. They show from the pedestrian bridge.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
To the like.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
They never go left, they always go right towards downtown.
They never start over here. I would love them to
fly over the mill, the factory whatever you call it,
the shipping yard, because that is true Nashville. Everything doesn't
have to be beautiful. It is beautiful that they use
the river to ship that metal to wherever the hell
it's going.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
And sometimes we will park over.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
There and oh no, no Bjay's birthday, Me bazer bj
some construction. We're in an uber and the uber took
us into the scrap yard and it went to a
dead end. Oh and the uber goes, well, I can't
go that way, and I said, yeah, you think they're.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
Cutting metal over there.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
So then he had to go caddy wampus roundabout, circle back,
reverse this reverse that we finally made it to Bjay's birthday.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
This was six months ago. Just came to me.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Wow, I never knew that story. I'm glad you made
it out alive.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
It it is nothing but dead ends, and that is
not what the NFL.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
Is gonna want.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
Yeah, they're gonna need bars that close to the I mean,
can you imagine how packed that pedestrian bridge is gonna
be Super Bowl Sunday.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
I imagine there'll be people on all three of them.
Two of them are car bridges, one of them's pedestrian.
Remember there's three.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
Yeah, you're right, and I forgot it's you're not gonna
want to sit in on the bridge anymore because you
can't see inside the stadium. Because I was thinking, you know,
like CMA Fest, how people put their lawn chairs up there.
I was wondering, are people gonna do that for the game.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
It's an atrium, but now it's a.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
Freaking closed in stadium, so you can't see anything. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
When me and Bezer first started dating, you could go
on the pedestrian bridge and watch Titans Jags for free.
You could see the scoreboard and anytime they went near
the near side twenty yard line you were able to
see right there.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
Man, what a free ticket. That'd have been awesome. Free
tickets in the Super Bowl. Just watch the twenty yard
line and in that's all you need to see.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
Some of those Jags Titans games. Epic six, three, nine
to three. Dude, that was my introduction to Titans football.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
We're gonna do it live? What oh the one two
three sore loser?
Speaker 2 (04:28):
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 3 (04:37):
Y'all had Sison from the North. Alpha Male live on
the north side of Nashville. Baser two acres, Baser my wife.
The acreage doesn't have a name. We got two kids
at Vanderbilt. Justin should be checking on them, but he
moved to Michigan. He just sent me a picture the
other day of a boat that he bought, and then
he posted online of a fishing pole and a fishing
tackle box and a rod and a reel. He goes
on the lake and fishes. Now Gun Lake, I belie
(05:00):
there's also a casino there. I'm sure it's cleaned him
out a couple of times. And it leads me to
my statement, Justin, if you want your dog, we've got
a dog carcass that you can come back and get
because apparently he's not coming back to Nashville and he's
making roots over to you.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
Coach.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Coach, do you ever think your spouse, your wife has
lost their mind?
Speaker 1 (05:24):
How many times a day are you asking?
Speaker 2 (05:26):
Yeah? Just like once a day, twice a day, oh,
every day?
Speaker 1 (05:30):
Yes, but the amount I would say never more than five.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Okay, because my wife absolutely has lost her mind. She's
really into this. This is what she loves right now.
One is a state sales. She loves them, She's addicted.
She goes to them all the time, loves to sift
through people's dead people's crap. Website, No, it's in person.
But how do you know that they get Oh, they
(05:54):
have a website like some company. And when they get
she gets in a notification, Hey, come check out the
state sale and they have pictures and she's like, oh,
I gotta go to that one, which I will say,
some of the stuff you see pretty cool. M There
is some nice stuff at these things, and I totally
get it. That's fine. It's like groage sale shopping, except
(06:15):
for you know what's going to be there, because they
post pictures of what it is. You know, usually a
groage sale. It's like, oh, furniture art, but they don't
put pictures. You have no idea what you're going into. It's,
you know, just a shot in the dark. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
I've done one of this, one of state sales, my grandfather's,
but all the cousins and family picked through it for
a week before we got there. Uh.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
Thanks.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
The coat that smells like rain water, yeah, I'll take that,
and a piece of the Berlin wall. That was cool,
but other than that, everything was gone.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
You still have a piece of the Berlin wall.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
It wasn't even that it was.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
London.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
It wasn't even a piece of it.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
It was a picture of it.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
Yeah, it was some memento Grampscot from over there. That
probably isn't even a piece of it. But yeah, really
do appreciate. Thank you cousins and aunt and uncle.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Man.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
Was it ever picked through? You guys gave.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
Us awesome options of that estate sale. Really do want
to thank you guys.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
We did go through grandma and Grandpa's stuff before the
state sale went live, and we did get the old hutch.
I guess it's a really old piece. It was grandma's,
grandma's and there was a promise that would be kept
in the family. And so we have this nice piece
in our house and it's just whoa every time the
(07:37):
kids get near, and I'm like, whoa, whoa. Might as
well put it in bubble wrap. It's so nice. I mean,
it's an amazing, nice, beautiful piece.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
Does it fit the twenty twenty six fung shway?
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Probably not? Probably not. But then we were at the
pool the other night and she was talking to Sarah
and and she's like, oh, you know, they're talking about
Facebook Marketplace and like, oh, man, I you know what
about Facebook Marketplace? If it says Franklin, I don't even
bother looking at it.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
Hey, girl, have you got a mommy makeover? I want
to get a boop job.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
She's like, driving twenty twenty five minutes. Oh my gosh,
that seems like the worst. She goes and that's crazy
because I grew up in Houston, and if anything was
within forty five minutes, I was like, oh, that's just
right around the corner.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
This is Sarah or your wife, my wife? Oh.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
And Sarah's like, oh, I agree, yeah. I like if
it says Franklin, I just skip right over it. And
then my wife comes to me yesterday and she goes, hey,
I need you to go with me because I bought
a coffee table off a Facebook marketplace.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
I don't drink coffee.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
I said, okay, cool. You know where is it? And
she said it's in Pulaski, Tennessee, Pulaski, whatever the hell
it's called.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
It's in Michigan City as well.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
And I look it up. It is an hour and
ten minutes from our house.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
That's the blind Trust right there.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
I said, wait a minute, what happened to forty eight
hours ago? You telling Sarah at the pool that if
it's even in Franklin that you don't want to do it.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
Oh girl, that was just a smoke screen.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
Well, this table is just perfect. It's a steal of
a deal. It's a steal of a deal.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
So you're seeing pictures.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
She is seeing pictures. I'm not. I don't care what
it looks like.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
I don't drink coffee.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
It's not worth an hour and ten minutes drive to
get a stupid coffee table. How much one hundred dollars?
Speaker 1 (09:34):
I mean you can. We're two hundred range. You're getting
new coffee table.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
But this one is beautiful, Okay, it's beautiful, according to.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
Her, sometimes the older pieces.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Yes, it's an antique. It's a round coffee table with
a big piece of granite on top.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
I don't drink coffee.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
And once again, I don't drink coffee.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
But that needs to be your number one excuse.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
She goes and it says, I need it's very heavy.
I need to bring someone to help me carry it.
Fox boys, I'm like, all right, boys, load up, the car.
We're going to Pulaski. And we get in the car,
and what time do we leave? What time are we
gonna head to Pulaski About three point thirty in the afternoon,
(10:16):
three forty five.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
I thought you about, say, am, and I was gonna say,
that's what I'm talking about.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
No, you know what's happening about three thirty, three forty
five in Nashville. It's amazing how many people are making
the exodus to go back to their hometown that is
south of Nashville Comic Con. And there's traffic. There's not
one wreck. There is two wrecks on the way to Pulaski.
(10:41):
So it takes an hour and forty minutes of sitting
in this stupid traffic.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
Do you even have a truck? No, you need my
rental from.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
Free and Chevrolet.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
Why didn't you hit me up? Man?
Speaker 2 (10:57):
I No, No, she measured, measured that it's gonna fit
in the car.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Where was the tape measure bedroom? Right?
Speaker 2 (11:04):
No, in the uh drawer in the kitchen. Pause And
I'm like, okay, And we're getting in the car and
I'm like, have you made sure this is gonna fit
with these kids in the car? She was, I've measured,
but let me measure again, and she measures twice.
Speaker 3 (11:23):
Measurements are huge, especially what I learned with furniture and
all that.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
I mean, you got to be exact with it.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
It have to be exact.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
Because this one lady came over and yes, she got
the same thing from us, and she didn't measure right.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
I'm like, how is this gonna go in a uh iszuzu?
Speaker 2 (11:37):
It's like when I worked at Sam's Club and people
would pull up in their Honda Civic and want me
to put a forty eight inch screen TV in their car,
and I'm like, guys, what are we doing It's not
gonna fit. Well, what if I take it out of
the box. It doesn't damn matter. It's thirty six inches
in your back seat. That's it. It ain't fitting. Oh okay,
(11:57):
I mean, or they have recliners and they want to
put it in a Honda Cord and I'm like, what
are we doing? Well? What if we just stack it? No,
it doesn't matter which way you stack it. You gotta
be precise when you're doing this crap. So I'm like,
all right, here we go. Let's drive.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
We drive and drive and drive.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
And we are out in the country, middle of nowhere
north or south south Man. We are, I mean we
are pretty much on the Alabama border. It's like, coming
up Alabama. Roll damn tide, We're going to Alabama to
get a coffee table. Like, what are we doing you
guys on from around here? Roll damn tad, Roll damn tide.
(12:36):
And she just kept going the whole way. Oh, this
is so fun. And the kids were like, where are
going all this way for just a table?
Speaker 1 (12:43):
Where's the soccer ball team?
Speaker 2 (12:45):
And me, I'm just being quiet. I'm just trying to
be a good husband because I'm like, this is so ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
Ray, you call it a feather in your.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
And so we get in the country road and we
all there's the address and we pulled on their gravel driveway.
The gravel driveway. That's pretty cool though, I will say
the noise it makes I do like a gravel driveway.
And so we roll up. Dude, they got some cows,
they got a horse, and the kids are all excited.
(13:18):
They go running towards the fence and the people are like, whoaha,
don't touch it. It's electric. It's electric.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
That's how you get the kids.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
And then a bull kind of looks like he's about
to charge at us. Baby Box two is like, I'm scared.
I'm scared. He's gonna run over the fence. He's gonna
bowl through the fence. He's gonna run through the fence.
And remember he said it's heavy, so make sure you
bring someone to help you carry it.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
Box boys and.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
I turn around. The dude's already put in the car.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
Oh so he just lifted it.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
What he's a football player Alabama roll damn tide lining
back a seventy two. It was a big old boy.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
I played for Bam Bryant and Nicholas Saban.
Speaker 3 (13:59):
That's with foot Now with you got all these kids
throwing them Jeremiah Smith dancing sunglasses kill me?
Speaker 2 (14:09):
He did just pick up that piece of granite stick
in the car.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
It was granite.
Speaker 3 (14:12):
Yeah, whoa, that might be worth the drive.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
And then the only problem is my wife didn't measure
the wheels on the bottom. How they're gonna stick out
when you're putting it in.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
We need exact measurements exactly, I don't know, around eight inches.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
So ends up have to cram it between two chairs.
The kids have to climb over the back seat to
get into their seats, and it fit. Oh but the
kids were out of the car for a combined to
forty five seconds, you know, and like, all right, let's
get back in the car. They're like, what, I gotta
get some energy out. I gotta get some energy out.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
Smart on that dude, he saw the box boys. He
threw that granite in that car, reo quick.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
No hesitation, He wasn't wasting any time. He's like, get
off my damn properties, get off my ranch.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
Just about how the kid cuted.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
And so we get back in the car and we
drive an hour and ten minutes back to our house.
And I mean, let me tell you, bring someone with
you that can lift it. I didn't even need to
make the damn trip because the guy just hercules threw
it in the back of the car and said get
(15:30):
on your way. So I wasted three hours of my
day yesterday driving to Pulaski to pick up a coffee table.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
I'm glad it fit, though, because that would have been
even worse. Of how your wife has lost her mind.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
But what's funny is a month ago, on a Saturday morning,
I was awoken by my wife saying, hey, Hey, before
the ten am baseball game, we have to go pick
up a coffee table that I bought from an estate sale,
because once it hits noon, it goes back up for sale.
(16:10):
I don't drink coffee, and I'm like, okay, all right, well,
why didn't you tell me this so I could have known?
And now we're not rushing, and now we're hurrying, so
he's gonna be late to you know, his baseball game maybe.
And so we go and we get this big ass
white coffee table. And then how come a month later
we're buying a different coffee table. Oh, because once I
(16:30):
got the white coffee table in there, I don't wait
the I don't like the way it looks.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
Y'all drink a lot of coffee.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
So now I have two coffee tables sitting there, just
cramming up the living room. I was just this is
so funny, so ridiculous.
Speaker 3 (16:45):
I was just telling Scuba the other day how pointless
coffee tables are.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
They're so dumb.
Speaker 3 (16:49):
We have one that Baser says we have to keep
because it was gifted to us. It serves no purpose.
And Scuba said, with kids, even less of a purpose,
even less.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
It's in the damn way in the day. It's in
the way of them running around. That's what she doesn't understand. Yes,
it's nice to have a foot rest, but guess what
we have for a footrest. We have an automan. We
have one of those things where you can store blankets
and it rolls around.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
See, those are clutch.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
Those are clutch because when kids run into that, they
like to jump off of that.
Speaker 3 (17:17):
They had one of those at Marshall's for twenty five dollars.
But guess what, you didn't get it. It didn't open.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
Oh.
Speaker 3 (17:22):
I was like, the whole point is it opens so
you can hide crap at it.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
That's where you hide the blankets.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
I want this.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
It's unbelievable. So now we have an automan and two
coffee tables, and so you can't even walk in the
living room.
Speaker 3 (17:36):
Yeah, you guys are maxed out. You're right down your
coffee table maxin.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
And she's like, Oh, don't worry, I'll sell the other
coffee table.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
I might.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
No, you're not. You're never gonna sell it. Just stick
it on the street corner.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
Make sure they bring somebody to help.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
Yeah, make sure they're driving. Maybe you should have emailed
that lady said, hey, would you like to make a trade?
Speaker 1 (17:52):
Hey, turn about is fair play.
Speaker 3 (17:54):
The next schmuck that comes over with his husband, you
need to say, need two people heavy?
Speaker 2 (18:00):
Yeah, make sure you bring someone to help. Goodness gracious.
So yeah, man, it was a great day. Got myself
a coffee table, and Johnny's got his new home. Janna's
got his new home. Maybe he could use one of
my coffee tables.
Speaker 3 (18:13):
No, they don't deal with coffee tables than Miami Dude
beach and crystal clear stuff not granted.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
Oh my gosh, we'll take a break and we'll be
right back.
Speaker 3 (18:26):
That's funny, oh man. In fact, me and Scuba just
had that conversation. Well actually we had eight hours worth
of conversation. That was one of the topics of how
dumb coffee tables are.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
They're really stupid. I mean, my wife is so look
how beautiful it is, bro does it look beautiful? It
just looks like a table.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
And it's also at a weird level too, because it's
never the comfortable spot would be up higher on your chest,
but that just looks weird. Nobody wants to bend over.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
That far to set a cup.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
Yeah, I mean to me. What a coffee table is
is a foot rest. But that's what the ottoman is there.
We have an ottoman for the foot rest, So why
do I need a coffee table?
Speaker 3 (19:02):
Well, and we had one. It was gifted to us
from the Brooks. Okay, oh the Brooks. I think it
was just.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
At their barn. They weren't really using it.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
Oh that Brooks. I was like, who the hell is Brooks?
The Brooks, I thought you were saying a cad Brooks.
Speaker 3 (19:19):
And there were four trays in it, and so we
had the four trays upside down, so it was like
you almost there was just four different areas. Just think
of a tick tag toe board, but there's only four
squares and it's they go under the table. Yeah, one
day I was looking at it, so it was even
worse than a coffee table.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
No wonder.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
It was gifted to us because Brooks decided he didn't
need this crap.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
So we had all this stuff that would just go.
Speaker 3 (19:45):
Into the coffee table, but it was still exposed and
it was just weird looking.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
I think we had the four trays upside down.
Speaker 3 (19:53):
So then one day I was just sitting there after
a couple of beers and I thought, what if I
flipped those right side up?
Speaker 1 (19:58):
And I did so.
Speaker 3 (19:59):
Now it's an actual table, it's not something that goes
underneath into the coffee table. So it's one percent better,
but it's still an annoying coffee table that's we've now
pushed to the side of our house. I thought you
were gonna say, it's so much better now. It is
than what it was because it was randomly for trays
and a coffee table that you never really took out. God,
they would just sit in there and was odd and
(20:21):
so you couldn't really set stuff on top of it
because there was no table space because they all went
into the table.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
And so now it's got demoted.
Speaker 3 (20:28):
It used to be in front of the couch, now
just to the side of the couch, off to the corner,
and we put a Kleenex box on it. I love
a good coffee table. And then there's another one upstairs
that was gifted to us by the Browns.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
Whoa for our wedding.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
WHOA, but but would you like one for your birthday?
Speaker 3 (20:53):
No?
Speaker 2 (20:53):
By the boxes, I can't do enough because I have
an extra coffee table.
Speaker 3 (20:57):
So that coffee table it doesn't go with the house
at all. It went with the apartment. Yeah, like, it
definitely went well with the apartment, the way.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
Your house is white, right, yeah, no, yeah, we don't
need we need color. The other coffee table that we
bought at a a state sale that would lasted one
month until my wife decided she didn't like it and
we had to drive three hours to get a different
one is white. It would go perfect with your house.
I'll drop it by.
Speaker 3 (21:22):
I can't do a third coffee table, So the Browns
coffee table has been demoted to the main cave. Oh
and in the main cave it's pushed off all the
way to the other side of the main cave where
I don't even go.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
And just the other day I told Bazer, I said,
it's still pointless.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
I don't need it for anything, Like, there's no reason
I love it.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
It was a beautiful gift.
Speaker 2 (21:45):
Thank them.
Speaker 3 (21:46):
It was perfect at our condo when we had the
penthouse on the west side.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
But it just.
Speaker 3 (21:51):
Sits there and it annoys me because at block space
where you could be catching footballs, you could be throwing
air mattresses, you could be putting pillows.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
For me to throw a boomerang.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
When we're dunking.
Speaker 3 (22:03):
I said, it's just a pointless coffee table in the
middle of the main cave. I, hey, coffee tables.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
Are you talking about me? God? Are you talking about
the Browns from feeling yourself.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
The late Brown family? Yes?
Speaker 2 (22:18):
Wow, yeah, see it's really weird. Man, I don't know.
So yeah, I've got two coffee tables staring at me.
But that's here in North there. We are past it.
I'm over it. I'm happy. I'm happy. My wife is
happy we got this coffee table. And I told her
you ain't buying another damn coffee table like you've bought
in two with the last two months. If you don't
like this one, tough tits.
Speaker 3 (22:39):
And what would be amazing is if the Loser's Nation,
Sore Losers Nation on Facebook posted your pointless coffee tables
please just so I can get a good laugh.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
Yeah, let's do it. Thread at coffee tables.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
Man, at how pointless they are.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
I don't even take a picture of this coffee table.
Speaker 3 (22:55):
Heck, I'll take a picture of mine. I'll take a
picture of the Brooks one and the Browns one.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
Thank you. That's what we're doing today. We're doing a
thread of coffee tables. Man like, no, hey, you guys
want hard hitting podcasts, this is where you come. Where
else are you gonna get a breakdown of coffee tables?
And we want us to show your coffee tables.
Speaker 3 (23:15):
The dumbest piece of furniture in American societal history, the
coffee table. Yeah, hey, what about a bookend? No, I
was trying to think of something else. Now I'm trying
to think of something else. What else is pointless? I
mean my parents, their stuff was all practical. We had
a wooden chest. It was awesome. My dad put a
(23:36):
bunch of firewood in it and then it would just
look like a cool wooden chest. Okay, so it's it
always seems like back in the day it was practical.
And then we got people that were artsy and stuff
and invented the coffee table. Because most people don't even
put their coffee on the coffee table.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
Right, They're usually walking around drinking their coffee because it's
in the morning and you're usually getting kids ready at
least my wife is, so she doesn't really ever sit down,
but she does love to sit down on a Saturday
and take an hour and a half to drink her coffee,
which drives me insane because when I get up, I
want to go. I want to like, let's get the
day started. The lounging around. Guess what it makes me do?
(24:13):
It makes me sleepy, makes me want to go back
to sleep.
Speaker 3 (24:16):
But you gotta give her that space to finish the
coffee basers the exact same way.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
I guess it's this experience they want me.
Speaker 3 (24:23):
I hit the coffee like it's just kind of like
a Jaeger bomb on a Friday night. That coffee's done
in about two minutes. I only drink it once a week, Saturday, Oh, Saturday, Saturday.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
And I'm now, how do you do you do it black?
Or do you do them the creamer?
Speaker 1 (24:37):
We got the coffee pot, and or.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
Do you have an espresso?
Speaker 3 (24:41):
Now we don't do that crap, but we have a
it's all made. I have to put the beans in
that they're already beamed, so they're like, it's just the ground, grounds,
the grounds. You gotta put the water in and then
it comes out black. And then we put this Chibani
makes all these different flavorings. Now, gibbani the yogurt, yogurt
and in your coffee. Yes, but they make amazing mixers.
(25:02):
Now there's like a cookie dough one, there's a vanilla one.
So we do that, and then she does some sort
of milk thing that I put in hers, but hers
hasn't experienced me.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
She's like, can you please just enjoy it? Dude. I
hozzle it down a couple minutes. I'm like, all right,
what are we doing?
Speaker 3 (25:20):
But yes, the women like the experience of the coffee.
It's warm, it's in their hands. It's how they start
their days. Guys, all right, what are we doing today?
I just finished my coffee. Boy, that was great.
Speaker 2 (25:34):
I've never seen something like it in my life because
my parents didn't drink coffee, so I'm not used to
someone needing to sit down and relax to enjoy their coffee. Like,
it's weird to me that it takes an hour to
enjoy one cup of coffee.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
Well, it has.
Speaker 3 (25:50):
Become much more popular than when we were kids, because
middle aged people. No, we're not middle aged, but a
lot of people didn't drink coffee when we were kids.
Hold on, we are, Yeah, So coffee is growing in popularity.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
I think do you think coffee is more popular now
than it was?
Speaker 1 (26:07):
Hell?
Speaker 3 (26:07):
Yeah, there's now Dutch Bros here, Ryobugs, seven Brew. There's
another one. Scuba wanted Scooters. He was naming all the
coffee spots he wanted. He had to have it on
our way to Chicago. So I found a Scooters, I
found a seven Brew, I found a Dutch Bros.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
What do you want, Scuba? I think you're right. It
has to be more popular than ever just because of
the availability. Now kids are drinking the iced coffees and
when they're twelve years old, which is bananas to me.
But is coffee any worse than drinking a coke? I
don't know what has more caffeine.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
And do your kids drink the cokes?
Speaker 2 (26:41):
No? They drink sprites.
Speaker 3 (26:44):
Yeah, I would say the propels and those other ones
you drank with the kids. The Logan Brothers made.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
Oh Prime, Yeah, good god.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
We already got the propels lined up for Boomer. That's
all he lost.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
Propel, Oh myad.
Speaker 3 (26:58):
I don't know which is worse pels every day, because
there's got to be something in them, pops or coffee.
Speaker 1 (27:06):
One of them is gonna kill you. I just don't
know which one.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
Yeah, the kids are really they love the Gatorade two
they love powerade, they love it all. Like we went.
I mean, we went and played golf on Sunday for
Father's Day.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
You've got a tea time on a Sunday?
Speaker 2 (27:21):
Oh no, No, we went to the par three course,
nine hole par three took the whole family, all three
box boys and the wife.
Speaker 3 (27:29):
I mean, if I went to my golf course on
Father's Day Sunday and asked for a tea time, they
would have laughed at me, stripped me naked, grabbed my
belt off my pants, and slapped me across the buttocks,
and told me to get the hell out of the club.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
So they would have gone belt to ass yes, belt asked.
Speaker 3 (27:47):
That I was so stupid asking if I could get
a tea time on a Father's Day Sunday.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
Now, I didn't even realize that the par three course
had tea times because I went in there and I
was like, hey man, we're just gonna try to play,
and he goes, all right, next time I can get
you out of is a twelve to fifty? Does that work?
Speaker 1 (28:03):
I'm like, that's professional.
Speaker 2 (28:04):
You have two times here. It's a part three course.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
Man.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
I thought people just come with a twelve back eye kid, exactly.
I thought, you just come and go as you want,
and you play as much you want. I yeah, I
guess that works.
Speaker 3 (28:15):
Man.
Speaker 2 (28:16):
I'll take the twelve to fifty, all right. You know
it's only like thirty five minutes. All right, cool man.
So we go back outside the kids, Oh, Dak, can
we get a gatorade? Can we get a gatorade?
Speaker 1 (28:24):
Hey?
Speaker 2 (28:24):
You know what, get a gatorade? Boys, pick out any
color you want?
Speaker 1 (28:27):
Can you drink it?
Speaker 2 (28:28):
Part three? You didn't drink anything you want.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
You got to tell me where that one is.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
It's right there in Shelby.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
Huh. Not the one we went to.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
No, not the one we went to.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
Different one.
Speaker 2 (28:39):
Yeah, it's right there by the baseball field. Okay, there's
two different courses there.
Speaker 1 (28:43):
Got it?
Speaker 2 (28:44):
And it's fantastic, dude. It's nine holes and it is perfect.
Speaker 3 (28:50):
See they have one over by, guys. I know we're
local here, not a lot of you guys know. It's uh,
it's west of West Nashville.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
That on. It's hard to get on it is. It's busy.
That one's really busy.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (29:02):
See.
Speaker 3 (29:02):
So I went and played that one. I took Boomer there.
It was kind of fun. I mean so that was
par three? Yeah, yeah, okay, and so then okay, par
three is trying to suck. Well, I kind of actually,
because you can't use any of your clubs. You're literally
just using a pitchy wedge.
Speaker 2 (29:16):
Okay, I understand that. I understand, But I'm with my
three kids, so I'm just trying to, you know, have
a day. Like we're oh, we're hitting the ball, have
some fun. This is what dad goes and does. I
play golf every once in a while. But is the
course like and when you get on the greens is
it nice or do they know it's fine?
Speaker 1 (29:31):
It is?
Speaker 2 (29:31):
Yeah, okay, it's not bad. And so we walk up
to the first tea, right and we're like, all right,
we're gonna be next, and there's a dad and the sun,
and the sun looks probably about eleven twelve, I don't
know ten, and the dad's like, oh, my son wants
to play with you guys. You guys want to play together.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
Have you not told this story already?
Speaker 2 (29:51):
No?
Speaker 1 (29:51):
You already told this story?
Speaker 2 (29:53):
No?
Speaker 1 (29:54):
Oh yeah, big show.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
And I'm like, yeah, man, we we'll play with you guys.
We may slow you down. He's like, oh no, it's Okay,
it's so fun. It's Father's Day. I'm like, all right, cool,
and my kids have never have. They don't know what
they're doing. They don't know the rules. I saw the one.
He's good. Well, yes, But they hit and then they
run to their ball, hit, run to the ball, and
(30:18):
I'm like, guys, guys, you gotta come back. They're hitting.
You gotta get back behind the ball. You're gonna get hit.
And they're just running up and they're running this way,
running back. Dad, give me the putter, Dad, give me
the putt. I'm like, Bud, you gotta wait because he's
gonna hit and you don't want to get hit. And
they're running over here and oh Dad, mine's over here
behind the tree. Let me get it. Oh whack, And
they don't wait and they just go walk up in
(30:39):
front of the guy. Hit sounds like.
Speaker 1 (30:41):
Baser and Angelina after a couple of fireballs.
Speaker 2 (30:43):
Let me tell you how stressful that first hole was.
It was like the most stressful time in my life
because I'm like, worried they're gonna get hit. This dude's
gonna get pissed. And then finally I'm like, guys, just
wait and we get done with. We get up on
the green and the guy's about to put the Dad
and my kid just putt put putt, and you can
see his eyes just like, are you freaking kidding me?
(31:04):
He has that look. And we get to the second
t and he's just like, all right, man, he puts
his ball down. I was like, hey, you know, guys,
I mean, I know my kids are kind of crazy
and it may be stressful, so if it's better for
you guys to just go ahead, you know what I mean.
He was like, Junior, what do you think? And Junior goes, yeah,
we should probably leave them, and they left us. Yeah,
(31:27):
but they were the ones that invited us to play
with them. I didn't say, hey, can we play with you?
Speaker 1 (31:33):
That's his business decision.
Speaker 2 (31:34):
So they realized after one hole that this was gonna
be a nightmare because we get to the third hole
and baby Box he tees it off. Dad, I'm gonna
do a redo, runs and gets his ball, hits again.
Oh Dad, I'm gonna do a redo. Runs and gets
his ball boom, hits another one third time, gets it
to within ten yards of the green. Dad, I'm gonna
do a redo, runs down there, gets his ball he
(31:57):
did eight redos.
Speaker 1 (31:59):
Can we get a marshall on the par three.
Speaker 2 (32:01):
Eight redos on the course on number three? So it's
taken forever. Then there's this guy coming up and he's big,
tall guy, and I'm like, oh, man, you want to
play through? You know you're just by yourself. He goes,
all right, man, I just no pressure, but this is
only my second day playing golf, so excuse me if
(32:22):
the ball doesn't go where it's supposed to go.
Speaker 1 (32:24):
The guy said that, yeah, you're with kids.
Speaker 2 (32:27):
I'm like, it's all right, dude, you go ahead. You're
by yourself. It doesn't matter where it goes. You're gonna
be faster than we are.
Speaker 1 (32:31):
You'll be better than the little one.
Speaker 2 (32:33):
And let me see. He steps up and it's about
one hundred and twenty eight yard par three and I'm like,
this is about to be real bad, right, He's never
he's this only second day ever playing golf. He hit
the flag stick, shoes, he hit the stick, freaking dart dart,
And I'm like, your second day playing golf. He goes, yeah, man,
(32:58):
just picking up the game. It didn't go in, but
it hit the stick and fell down right next to
the hole.
Speaker 1 (33:03):
You got any stock advice?
Speaker 2 (33:05):
And I'm like, do you give swing lessons?
Speaker 3 (33:07):
Man?
Speaker 2 (33:07):
Like, how the hell did you do that? I've never
done that in my life?
Speaker 1 (33:11):
You shake it.
Speaker 2 (33:13):
I was just like, how did he if he would
have got a hole in one on his second day
of golf.
Speaker 1 (33:18):
At a part three?
Speaker 2 (33:20):
Does it count?
Speaker 1 (33:21):
I mean, does it count when I get a hole
in one on my back flag and on Pattio?
Speaker 2 (33:25):
Seriously, if you're playing a part three course, it doesn't count, man.
Speaker 1 (33:29):
I mean you can tell.
Speaker 3 (33:31):
Once you get to serious groups like us, you're not
gonna tell us. You tell like a couple of your
loser dads, you may hole in one. But when you're
like with us, we're like golfers that Eric Dodd justin
you can't claim a hole in one.
Speaker 1 (33:43):
Loser dads at the pool.
Speaker 3 (33:45):
That you know middle management, they've given up on life.
You can tell them hole in one because they ain't.
Speaker 2 (33:49):
In another difference, that's funny because I texted the group
the Fellas and I said, hey, boys at the par
three course at the boys for Father's Day, if I
get a hole in one, does at count? And Jacob said,
I'd count it? And Greg said, he said, man, counting
(34:09):
a hole in one and a part three is like
Jamal Charles being in the Special Olympics. Did you know
Jamal Charles was in the Special Olympics?
Speaker 1 (34:18):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (34:18):
Because didn't he Isn't he the one that introduced the
Chiefs pick or whatever that clip that's going viral.
Speaker 2 (34:23):
I don't know. But he had ADHD, so he was
in the Special Olympics. Jamal Charles. I mean, can you
imagine how bad he is killing people in the Special Olympics?
Speaker 1 (34:36):
Geez at Texas.
Speaker 2 (34:41):
When he was younger. It said it gave him the
confidence to succeed. Oh, man, So yeah, I don't know
if you counted or not. But we'll take a break.
We'll be right back. Coaches, did you watch that NBA draft? Man?
Speaker 1 (34:56):
I saw the nixt one again they did. I don't know.
I didn't watch it.
Speaker 2 (35:00):
Oh yeah, I didn't. Really. The Spurs got someone that
has a torn acl or something that he maybe out
the whole year. Then we got the Yukon Center. I
don't know. We got two big dudes. Great sounds good.
Speaker 1 (35:10):
One of our old interns, Gabe.
Speaker 2 (35:14):
Gabe.
Speaker 3 (35:15):
I think I follow him on X We have an
intern named Gabe. Back in the day ten years ago. No, no,
I don't know. I didn't even click on it, go ahead,
but he said something like, Spurs, it's just a terrible
draft pick. I'm again with this franchise, not happy with that.
It's gonna set us back or something. Not not approve
of that draft pick. And so that reminded me why
I truly hate the Spurs. Not only is it you,
(35:37):
not only is it Billy, not only is it.
Speaker 2 (35:39):
Some guy named Gabe that you Maabe.
Speaker 3 (35:41):
Not only is it who is the other cruise? There's
so many Spurs fans that's there was freaking there was
freaking interns that like the Spurs. Everybody at the Walmart
distribution center like the Spurs and New bron fules. That's
why I hate the Spurs.
Speaker 1 (35:57):
But that's all I saw about the draft.
Speaker 2 (36:00):
Yeah, I don't know. I just wondered. I didn't want.
I mean, it's cool.
Speaker 3 (36:03):
Somebody said that byu deebon Sanza guy went to the Wizards.
He went number one, and I guess the Wizards are
within the Washington, DC, Maryland area. And also he went
to school at the Washington DC, Maryland area.
Speaker 2 (36:14):
Oh did he really? I didn't know that.
Speaker 3 (36:15):
Eve and they showed his elementary school cheering when he
got drafted.
Speaker 2 (36:19):
That's cool.
Speaker 1 (36:20):
And I was like, so they had a watch party
in elementary school during the summer for him on a
random Tuesday night when he got drafted.
Speaker 2 (36:28):
And these story griders have no idea.
Speaker 1 (36:29):
Who he is, Like they actually knew that he went
to their school.
Speaker 2 (36:33):
Now that you say that kind of weird.
Speaker 3 (36:34):
I may have got ai' I don't. I'm like, what
an odd post on X. But you know what, that's cool.
Go Wizards and Deepen Stanza. He was supposed to win
the Woody Award ended up going to that boozer kid. Yeah,
Deepen Stanza. He had a fine year. Maybe he was
supposed to do a little bit better.
Speaker 2 (36:53):
He did great. Man. Hey, we got an email Coachers.
We have run into a little problem for the coach convention.
Bree from Kentucky is pregnant and is due in December.
So my diluma is go solo or bring her and
the baby along and just leave them in the room
for the fun things. I say, she kills me either way.
(37:15):
What do you think I should do? Jesse from Kentucky, we.
Speaker 3 (37:20):
Need to make some advances with daycare. Wow, you never
know what truck driver is gonna have a kid show up.
Speaker 2 (37:29):
First of all, Jesse, congratulations on the baby. Congrats, there's
still one thing missing. I understand the baby, and I
know Brie. We had talked about this last convention, and man,
I don't know what the hell you're waiting for. We
talked about doing a wedding at this convention. Obviously that
is off, and Bree said she didn't want it at
(37:50):
the convention. My suggestion to you would be I would
leave her at home and come solo. Because you coming
back to the room absolutely s lost after the open
bar happy hour brought to you by Freeland Chevrolet. You're
(38:11):
gonna wake the baby up. You're gonna wake her up.
And you've never seen a woman mad until you wake
her up when she's been up every two hours with
a newborn baby. So that would be my suggestion. Leave
her and the baby at home, bring the big rig,
and come rolling into town.
Speaker 3 (38:28):
Guys, I'm gonna look into it. Maybe we do need
some daycare at some of these events. You know, they
could also double as EMTs in case somebody does have
a couple too many, or security or stanching guy. But
(38:50):
also all in one area is daycare. Yeah, daycare could
turn into adult care. That's what I was shooting for.
Got it, I didn't know that. Lunch and Ray, Ray.
Speaker 1 (39:02):
You need to write out these jokes beforehand.
Speaker 2 (39:04):
We started our cross country road trip last Friday with
our two boys. We like to visit college campuses and
check out the local football stadiums. This year we will
be seeing many MLB stadiums and hoping to get to
a few games. What was your most memorable family vacation
as a child. The Shriebers from Arizona.
Speaker 3 (39:25):
Hey, Shreebe, I'm gonna take the rains on this one
real quick. The best was we would always for our
birthday Labor Day weekend September go to Denver to three
Rockies games one weekend. Don't remember the age, it was,
maybe in middle school. My dad always had to stay
an hour outside the city. Always you couldn't even see
the skyline. And then we're drive into the games every day. Okay,
(39:47):
One time he had to stay at the Cherry Creek
ind downtown Denver and it was awesome. The van picked
you up, took you to the game, went through alleys,
and you were maybe five minutes from the Baseball stadium
in Blake Street, in that Denver area. There it was greatness.
The van smelled like cherry and I'll never forget that.
Speaker 2 (40:10):
Man. I'm gonna tell you one of my favorite memories.
We were driving to Chicago and my mom decided to
do something very special for us that year, and she
was like, I'm going to read you guys a book.
Why we ride so it's like a you know, we
as the journey goes on, we get deeper and deeper
into the book. And she was like, I'm going to
go to the library and pick out a book. And
(40:32):
we all love dogs. We love dogs, and so she
found a dog book called Where the Red Fern Grows.
Oh my gosh, I will never forget pulling into Grandma
and Grandpa's gravel little driveway more like a parking area
than a driveway, and we are all uncontrollable, sobbing and
(40:56):
crying at the end of that book, and Grandma and
Grandpa coming out going what's wrong? Is everybody? Okay? We
were reading Where the Redford Grow.
Speaker 1 (41:10):
It was.
Speaker 2 (41:12):
Unbelievable and we still talk about it to this day.
Absolutely fantastic. Another one I went on, I went on
two baseball trips. One was my senior year after I
graduated high school. That summer me Chess Day, chess Day's
little brother, chess Day's dad, and no teeth Keith Kid,
(41:33):
Can I roll bitch. We jumped in a van from Austin, Texas,
and we headed east and we went to Houston, saw
a game at in Ron Field. Then we headed northwest
and hit Arlington, saw the Rangers the next day. Then
(41:54):
we headed kind of north east and went to Saint
Look maybe it was just straight north. We went to
Saint Louis and saw the Cardinals and Mark McGuire, and
then the next day we drove east to Cincinnati and
saw a Reds game. The next day we headed up
north hit Chicago and the Chicago Cubs. The next day
(42:15):
we went north and we saw the Milwaukee Brewers at
County Stadium, which that was when the crane had fallen
into their new stadium and it was just there the
crane was tumped toppled over. They delayed their stadium opening
a year because of that. And then we drove back
to Chicago, hit Chicago, then we went home. It was
a baseball trip for the ages.
Speaker 1 (42:37):
That's pretty awesome.
Speaker 2 (42:38):
One game every day, and you saw McGuire, saw McGuire,
none of them.
Speaker 1 (42:43):
Were reigned out. Pretty lucky on that.
Speaker 3 (42:45):
Yeah, I can't believe you did it one a day
with one a day, dude. I mean the Chicago to
Milwaukee's easy, that's only an hour. Yeah, but the brutal
one had to have been like the Saint Louis to Chicago.
Speaker 2 (42:57):
Saint Louis and Cincinnati Smarlington to Saint Louis.
Speaker 1 (43:01):
That had to be a beast.
Speaker 2 (43:03):
I mean, I don't remember it being a beast, but
I remember being so excited, and I mean we saw
here's what's funny. We saw the Cardinals play the San
Francisco Giants. You know who played for the Giants, McCovey,
cove Barry Bonds. And I was up there trying to
get autographs. This is, I mean a long time ago,
(43:26):
and Chess Day is like, dude, I'm gonna go it
was batting practice. He goes, I'm gonna go out to
the outfiel, I'm gonna catch a home run ball. I'm
gonna catch a home run ball. I'm gonna get a
Barry Bond's home run ball. Or McGuire when I was
like well, the Giants are batting, goes, oh, yeah, yeah,
I'll just get Barry Bonds. So he goes out there,
and Barry Bonds is hitting, and he switches out with
(43:46):
a guy by the name of Desi Wilson. Look him up,
left hander, never heard of him, never heard of him
since Desi Wilson. Hits one damn, and I look up
and I see chess day layout. I mean full dive
to catch the ball, and he catches it. And then
(44:08):
I see him pop up and start running and he
runs all the way back to where I'm standing by
the visitors dugout. He was like, I got a Barry
Bond's ball. I got a Barry Bond's ball. I was like,
it was Desie Wilson.
Speaker 1 (44:25):
Dude, what are the odds He actually caught it.
Speaker 2 (44:29):
He caught it. And not only did he catch it,
He goes, dude, I spilled a lady's beer all over
her when I dove all over her. And he said,
I said sorry, jumped up and ran. He goes, dude,
it was Barry Bonds. I was like, no, no, no, it
was Desi Wilson.
Speaker 3 (44:46):
There must have not been that many people at that game,
because now there's no way you're gonna get in that
area and get a home run that easily. But it
was batting practice, okay, so it's pregame got it.
Speaker 2 (44:58):
It was his arracle. I've never I've never laughed so
hard in my life.
Speaker 3 (45:02):
The odds just went from one in a million to
probably had like a one and four shot.
Speaker 2 (45:06):
Hey, I forgot to tell you another great thing that
happened on that trip. I'll tell you right after this.
Speaker 1 (45:12):
Hey, you just tell it. I gotta jump.
Speaker 2 (45:16):
It's okay, I just hit it. The other great thing
is we're in Arlington right and the Rangers are playing.
I couldn't tell you who the Rangers are playing, and
Chess Day and I are like, we're gonna go down there,
and we sneak down to the front row right next
(45:37):
to the Rangers on deck circle and one Gonzalez is
at the plate, Rafayel, Paul Marrow's on deck and one
going going, going gone. Gonzalez kind of hits up number
off the end of the bat. Foul ball comes rolling,
(45:59):
belt is off the walls, too far for me to reach,
and I'm like, chestay grab it, Chesty grab it, and
he's leaning, leaning, leaning, and he falls over the wall
and he's laying just laying there on the field and
he looks around, hops up, jumps back into his seat,
(46:22):
and his wallet is on the field. His wallet is
laying there. And this is back in the day when
you had those long wallets, like they looked like they
could put a check book in him.
Speaker 1 (46:32):
They were really long.
Speaker 2 (46:33):
They kind of stuck out of your back pocket. And
I'm like, your wallet, your wallet, your wallet. He didn't
hear me in time by the time he jumped back
over the wall. And here comes Rafael Paul Marrow and
he picks up the wallet. And what does Paul Marrow
do with it? Does he hand it back to us? No,
(46:55):
he puts it in his back pocket. Paul Marrow puts
the wallet his back pocket and starts warming up, taking
practice swings, and here comes security. They're gonna kick Chess
Day out of the game, and Paul Marrow waves them off, says,
no man, go ahead, go ahead, get out of here.
(47:15):
And then Paul Marrow takes the more practice cuts and
we're just dying, dying, laughing. And then Paul Marrow comes
to give it back to Chess Day. He opens it up,
he takes a twenty out of the wallet and hands
chess Day the wallet. He gave him the wallet minus
(47:36):
twenty dollars, and he puts the twenty in his pocket,
takes a couple more hacks, and then before it's just
turn to hit, he walks back over and gives chess
Nay his twenty back. Unfreaking believable. So uh Shariber's family.
That is one of the best memories. Those are the
(47:58):
trips I remember. Unbelievable. Oh and then when we get
back to Chicago from Milwaukee, chess Day wanted to go
to Woodstock and every one of the friends I was
not one of the people that was going to go.
There were some other friends from our graduating class of
Anderson High School nineteen ninety nine that were supposed to
go with chess Day. They all backed out at last minute,
(48:20):
and chess Day really wanted to go, and his father
was not going to let him go solo on a
bus from Chicago, and chess Day stormed out of my
grandma's house and went for a walk and he ended
up getting lost and he had to get on a
payphone and call his mother back in Austin, Texas, who
(48:42):
had to call my grandmother's house and say, hey, Chess
Day is lost. Can you go get him from the
payphone at this location? And we did, and the next
day we dropped Chess Day off. He took a Greyhound
to New York and he went to Woodstock nineteen ninety
nine by himself. Unbelievable sense of adventure and stubbornness from
(49:04):
an eighteen year old kid. But he did it. He survived.
And bravo to him for having the guts and the
gumption and the where the sense of adventure to go
out there and do what he wanted to do. Oh amazing,
that is a great trip. Jenny, the Shrieberers family, the Shrieberers, Sheberers, Sharerbers.
(49:28):
I don't know how you say your last name, but
enjoy it. From Arizona. Man, you guys have a great Wednesday.
We're out. Ray had to bail Ille was good.
Speaker 1 (49:39):
Man.
Speaker 2 (49:40):
That was a good storytelling. I enjoyed that one. That
was fun. That's fun. I'll turn it off.
Speaker 1 (49:44):
We'll turn it off, turn off, run off.
Speaker 2 (49:50):
And guys, we are one week next Wednesday. Tickets on
sales sored Losers dot Com Coaches Convention six. We hope
to see you there. Remember, have a great Wednesday, man.
Hopefully we can win without Matt tonight. Win one for Matt.
We'll show him we didn't need him anyway, and go Spurs, Go,
We're gonna do it live.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
It's the start of a new season to night man
co ed soccer. We are back presented by Freelan Chevrolet.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
This show is not the soccer.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
I mean, well, maybe they want to sponsor the soccer.
Get us some new jerseys because we got some new
players coming in. Our goalie Matt has decided to go
out to pasture and retire. He's his mom has a
huge acreage, like in some small town north of here,
and she said, I'm gonna give you a plot of
that land so you can build a house on it.
And he said, man, if we're gonna be building a house,
(00:35):
I can't be driving back and forth to the games.
But I think it really is that kids. His wife
has a tough time getting all three of them down
to sleep at night. And that's why he has decided
to retire from Wednesday nights because I still believe he's
playing on Sundays. So I think it's just the Wednesday
night bedtime routine is kind of thrown off by our
(00:57):
soccer game. So we start a new season.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
I think that's beak for everybody. When I say, who
theck is this guy he's been with on my team
for you know, ten years, man.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
We're gonna do it live.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
The Sore Losers Convention is one hundred and sixty one
days away in Nashville, Tennessee twenty twenty seven, home of
the two thousand and thirty Super Bowl on Broadway Lower Broadway.
It will be just across the pedestrian bridge the super Bowl.
Maybe we have an event across the pedestrian bridge to
start to get you guys acclimated to that.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
Area over there.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
Right now, I believe it's just a metal scrapyard. They're
gonna build it up. I imagine in the next four
years they have to A super Bowl is coming to town,
and right now it houses sixty percent of the metal
in Tennessee manufacturing.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
There's no way they can build that in four years.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
I don't think so.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
They'll build some of it, but when they do, the
aerial guys leave off the part across from.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
The pedestrian bridge to the right because it gets dark
on a Friday night.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
They never show it. They show from the pedestrian bridge.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
To the like.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
They never go left, they always go right towards downtown.
They never start over here. I would love them to
fly over the mill, the factory whatever you call it,
the shipping yard, because that is true Nashville. Everything doesn't
have to be beautiful. It is beautiful that they use
the river to ship that metal to wherever the hell
it's going.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
And sometimes we will park over.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
There and oh no, no Bjay's birthday, Me bazer bj
some construction. We're in an uber and the uber took
us into the scrap yard and it went to a
dead end. Oh and the uber goes, well, I can't
go that way, and I said, yeah, you think they're.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
Cutting metal over there.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
So then he had to go caddy wampus roundabout, circle back,
reverse this reverse that we finally made it to Bjay's birthday.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
This was six months ago. Just came to me.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Wow, I never knew that story. I'm glad you made
it out alive.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
It it is nothing but dead ends, and that is
not what the NFL.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
Is gonna want.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
Yeah, they're gonna need bars that close to the I mean,
can you imagine how packed that pedestrian bridge is gonna
be Super Bowl Sunday.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
I imagine there'll be people on all three of them.
Two of them are car bridges, one of them's pedestrian.
Remember there's three.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
Yeah, you're right, and I forgot it's you're not gonna
want to sit in on the bridge anymore because you
can't see inside the stadium. Because I was thinking, you know,
like CMA Fest, how people put their lawn chairs up there.
I was wondering, are people gonna do that for the game.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
It's an atrium, but now it's a.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
Freaking closed in stadium, so you can't see anything. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
When me and Bezer first started dating, you could go
on the pedestrian bridge and watch Titans Jags for free.
You could see the scoreboard and anytime they went near
the near side twenty yard line you were able to
see right there.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
Man, what a free ticket. That'd have been awesome. Free
tickets in the Super Bowl. Just watch the twenty yard
line and in that's all you need to see.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
Some of those Jags Titans games. Epic six, three, nine
to three. Dude, that was my introduction to Titans football.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
We're gonna do it live? What oh the one two
three sore loser?
Speaker 2 (04:28):
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 3 (04:37):
Y'all had Sison from the North. Alpha Male live on
the north side of Nashville. Baser two acres, Baser my wife.
The acreage doesn't have a name. We got two kids
at Vanderbilt. Justin should be checking on them, but he
moved to Michigan. He just sent me a picture the
other day of a boat that he bought, and then
he posted online of a fishing pole and a fishing
tackle box and a rod and a reel. He goes
on the lake and fishes. Now Gun Lake, I belie
(05:00):
there's also a casino there. I'm sure it's cleaned him
out a couple of times. And it leads me to
my statement, Justin, if you want your dog, we've got
a dog carcass that you can come back and get
because apparently he's not coming back to Nashville and he's
making roots over to you.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
Coach.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Coach, do you ever think your spouse, your wife has
lost their mind?
Speaker 1 (05:24):
How many times a day are you asking?
Speaker 2 (05:26):
Yeah? Just like once a day, twice a day, oh,
every day?
Speaker 1 (05:30):
Yes, but the amount I would say never more than five.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Okay, because my wife absolutely has lost her mind. She's
really into this. This is what she loves right now.
One is a state sales. She loves them, She's addicted.
She goes to them all the time, loves to sift
through people's dead people's crap. Website, No, it's in person.
But how do you know that they get Oh, they
(05:54):
have a website like some company. And when they get
she gets in a notification, Hey, come check out the
state sale and they have pictures and she's like, oh,
I gotta go to that one, which I will say,
some of the stuff you see pretty cool. M There
is some nice stuff at these things, and I totally
get it. That's fine. It's like groage sale shopping, except
(06:15):
for you know what's going to be there, because they
post pictures of what it is. You know, usually a
groage sale. It's like, oh, furniture art, but they don't
put pictures. You have no idea what you're going into. It's,
you know, just a shot in the dark. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
I've done one of this, one of state sales, my grandfather's,
but all the cousins and family picked through it for
a week before we got there. Uh.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
Thanks.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
The coat that smells like rain water, yeah, I'll take that,
and a piece of the Berlin wall. That was cool,
but other than that, everything was gone.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
You still have a piece of the Berlin wall.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
It wasn't even that it was.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
London.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
It wasn't even a piece of it.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
It was a picture of it.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
Yeah, it was some memento Grampscot from over there. That
probably isn't even a piece of it. But yeah, really
do appreciate. Thank you cousins and aunt and uncle.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Man.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
Was it ever picked through? You guys gave.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
Us awesome options of that estate sale. Really do want
to thank you guys.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
We did go through grandma and Grandpa's stuff before the
state sale went live, and we did get the old hutch.
I guess it's a really old piece. It was grandma's,
grandma's and there was a promise that would be kept
in the family. And so we have this nice piece
in our house and it's just whoa every time the
(07:37):
kids get near, and I'm like, whoa, whoa. Might as
well put it in bubble wrap. It's so nice. I mean,
it's an amazing, nice, beautiful piece.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
Does it fit the twenty twenty six fung shway?
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Probably not? Probably not. But then we were at the
pool the other night and she was talking to Sarah
and and she's like, oh, you know, they're talking about
Facebook Marketplace and like, oh, man, I you know what
about Facebook Marketplace? If it says Franklin, I don't even
bother looking at it.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
Hey, girl, have you got a mommy makeover? I want
to get a boop job.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
She's like, driving twenty twenty five minutes. Oh my gosh,
that seems like the worst. She goes and that's crazy
because I grew up in Houston, and if anything was
within forty five minutes, I was like, oh, that's just
right around the corner.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
This is Sarah or your wife, my wife? Oh.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
And Sarah's like, oh, I agree, yeah. I like if
it says Franklin, I just skip right over it. And
then my wife comes to me yesterday and she goes, hey,
I need you to go with me because I bought
a coffee table off a Facebook marketplace.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
I don't drink coffee.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
I said, okay, cool. You know where is it? And
she said it's in Pulaski, Tennessee, Pulaski, whatever the hell
it's called.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
It's in Michigan City as well.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
And I look it up. It is an hour and
ten minutes from our house.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
That's the blind Trust right there.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
I said, wait a minute, what happened to forty eight
hours ago? You telling Sarah at the pool that if
it's even in Franklin that you don't want to do it.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
Oh girl, that was just a smoke screen.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
Well, this table is just perfect. It's a steal of
a deal. It's a steal of a deal.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
So you're seeing pictures.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
She is seeing pictures. I'm not. I don't care what
it looks like.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
I don't drink coffee.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
It's not worth an hour and ten minutes drive to
get a stupid coffee table. How much one hundred dollars?
Speaker 1 (09:34):
I mean you can. We're two hundred range. You're getting
new coffee table.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
But this one is beautiful, Okay, it's beautiful, according to.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
Her, sometimes the older pieces.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Yes, it's an antique. It's a round coffee table with
a big piece of granite on top.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
I don't drink coffee.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
And once again, I don't drink coffee.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
But that needs to be your number one excuse.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
She goes and it says, I need it's very heavy.
I need to bring someone to help me carry it.
Fox boys, I'm like, all right, boys, load up, the car.
We're going to Pulaski. And we get in the car,
and what time do we leave? What time are we
gonna head to Pulaski About three point thirty in the afternoon,
(10:16):
three forty five.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
I thought you about, say, am, and I was gonna say,
that's what I'm talking about.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
No, you know what's happening about three thirty, three forty
five in Nashville. It's amazing how many people are making
the exodus to go back to their hometown that is
south of Nashville Comic Con. And there's traffic. There's not
one wreck. There is two wrecks on the way to Pulaski.
(10:41):
So it takes an hour and forty minutes of sitting
in this stupid traffic.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
Do you even have a truck? No, you need my
rental from.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
Free and Chevrolet.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
Why didn't you hit me up? Man?
Speaker 2 (10:57):
I No, No, she measured, measured that it's gonna fit
in the car.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Where was the tape measure bedroom? Right?
Speaker 2 (11:04):
No, in the uh drawer in the kitchen. Pause And
I'm like, okay, And we're getting in the car and
I'm like, have you made sure this is gonna fit
with these kids in the car? She was, I've measured,
but let me measure again, and she measures twice.
Speaker 3 (11:23):
Measurements are huge, especially what I learned with furniture and
all that.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
I mean, you got to be exact with it.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
It have to be exact.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
Because this one lady came over and yes, she got
the same thing from us, and she didn't measure right.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
I'm like, how is this gonna go in a uh iszuzu?
Speaker 2 (11:37):
It's like when I worked at Sam's Club and people
would pull up in their Honda Civic and want me
to put a forty eight inch screen TV in their car,
and I'm like, guys, what are we doing It's not
gonna fit. Well, what if I take it out of
the box. It doesn't damn matter. It's thirty six inches
in your back seat. That's it. It ain't fitting. Oh okay,
(11:57):
I mean, or they have recliners and they want to
put it in a Honda Cord and I'm like, what
are we doing? Well? What if we just stack it? No,
it doesn't matter which way you stack it. You gotta
be precise when you're doing this crap. So I'm like,
all right, here we go. Let's drive.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
We drive and drive and drive.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
And we are out in the country, middle of nowhere
north or south south Man. We are, I mean we
are pretty much on the Alabama border. It's like, coming
up Alabama. Roll damn tide, We're going to Alabama to
get a coffee table. Like, what are we doing you
guys on from around here? Roll damn tad, Roll damn tide.
(12:36):
And she just kept going the whole way. Oh, this
is so fun. And the kids were like, where are
going all this way for just a table?
Speaker 1 (12:43):
Where's the soccer ball team?
Speaker 2 (12:45):
And me, I'm just being quiet. I'm just trying to
be a good husband because I'm like, this is so ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
Ray, you call it a feather in your.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
And so we get in the country road and we
all there's the address and we pulled on their gravel driveway.
The gravel driveway. That's pretty cool though, I will say
the noise it makes I do like a gravel driveway.
And so we roll up. Dude, they got some cows,
they got a horse, and the kids are all excited.
(13:18):
They go running towards the fence and the people are like, whoaha,
don't touch it. It's electric. It's electric.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
That's how you get the kids.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
And then a bull kind of looks like he's about
to charge at us. Baby Box two is like, I'm scared.
I'm scared. He's gonna run over the fence. He's gonna
bowl through the fence. He's gonna run through the fence.
And remember he said it's heavy, so make sure you
bring someone to help you carry it.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
Box boys and.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
I turn around. The dude's already put in the car.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
Oh so he just lifted it.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
What he's a football player Alabama roll damn tide lining
back a seventy two. It was a big old boy.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
I played for Bam Bryant and Nicholas Saban.
Speaker 3 (13:59):
That's with foot Now with you got all these kids
throwing them Jeremiah Smith dancing sunglasses kill me?
Speaker 2 (14:09):
He did just pick up that piece of granite stick
in the car.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
It was granite.
Speaker 3 (14:12):
Yeah, whoa, that might be worth the drive.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
And then the only problem is my wife didn't measure
the wheels on the bottom. How they're gonna stick out
when you're putting it in.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
We need exact measurements exactly, I don't know, around eight inches.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
So ends up have to cram it between two chairs.
The kids have to climb over the back seat to
get into their seats, and it fit. Oh but the
kids were out of the car for a combined to
forty five seconds, you know, and like, all right, let's
get back in the car. They're like, what, I gotta
get some energy out. I gotta get some energy out.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
Smart on that dude, he saw the box boys. He
threw that granite in that car, reo quick.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
No hesitation, He wasn't wasting any time. He's like, get
off my damn properties, get off my ranch.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
Just about how the kid cuted.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
And so we get back in the car and we
drive an hour and ten minutes back to our house.
And I mean, let me tell you, bring someone with
you that can lift it. I didn't even need to
make the damn trip because the guy just hercules threw
it in the back of the car and said get
(15:30):
on your way. So I wasted three hours of my
day yesterday driving to Pulaski to pick up a coffee table.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
I'm glad it fit, though, because that would have been
even worse. Of how your wife has lost her mind.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
But what's funny is a month ago, on a Saturday morning,
I was awoken by my wife saying, hey, Hey, before
the ten am baseball game, we have to go pick
up a coffee table that I bought from an estate sale,
because once it hits noon, it goes back up for sale.
(16:10):
I don't drink coffee, and I'm like, okay, all right, well,
why didn't you tell me this so I could have known?
And now we're not rushing, and now we're hurrying, so
he's gonna be late to you know, his baseball game maybe.
And so we go and we get this big ass
white coffee table. And then how come a month later
we're buying a different coffee table. Oh, because once I
(16:30):
got the white coffee table in there, I don't wait
the I don't like the way it looks.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
Y'all drink a lot of coffee.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
So now I have two coffee tables sitting there, just
cramming up the living room. I was just this is
so funny, so ridiculous.
Speaker 3 (16:45):
I was just telling Scuba the other day how pointless
coffee tables are.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
They're so dumb.
Speaker 3 (16:49):
We have one that Baser says we have to keep
because it was gifted to us. It serves no purpose.
And Scuba said, with kids, even less of a purpose,
even less.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
It's in the damn way in the day. It's in
the way of them running around. That's what she doesn't understand. Yes,
it's nice to have a foot rest, but guess what
we have for a footrest. We have an automan. We
have one of those things where you can store blankets
and it rolls around.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
See, those are clutch.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
Those are clutch because when kids run into that, they
like to jump off of that.
Speaker 3 (17:17):
They had one of those at Marshall's for twenty five dollars.
But guess what, you didn't get it. It didn't open.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
Oh.
Speaker 3 (17:22):
I was like, the whole point is it opens so
you can hide crap at it.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
That's where you hide the blankets.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
I want this.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
It's unbelievable. So now we have an automan and two
coffee tables, and so you can't even walk in the
living room.
Speaker 3 (17:36):
Yeah, you guys are maxed out. You're right down your
coffee table maxin.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
And she's like, Oh, don't worry, I'll sell the other
coffee table.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
I might.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
No, you're not. You're never gonna sell it. Just stick
it on the street corner.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
Make sure they bring somebody to help.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
Yeah, make sure they're driving. Maybe you should have emailed
that lady said, hey, would you like to make a trade?
Speaker 1 (17:52):
Hey, turn about is fair play.
Speaker 3 (17:54):
The next schmuck that comes over with his husband, you
need to say, need two people heavy?
Speaker 2 (18:00):
Yeah, make sure you bring someone to help. Goodness gracious.
So yeah, man, it was a great day. Got myself
a coffee table, and Johnny's got his new home. Janna's
got his new home. Maybe he could use one of
my coffee tables.
Speaker 3 (18:13):
No, they don't deal with coffee tables than Miami Dude
beach and crystal clear stuff not granted.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
Oh my gosh, we'll take a break and we'll be
right back.
Speaker 3 (18:26):
That's funny, oh man. In fact, me and Scuba just
had that conversation. Well actually we had eight hours worth
of conversation. That was one of the topics of how
dumb coffee tables are.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
They're really stupid. I mean, my wife is so look
how beautiful it is, bro does it look beautiful? It
just looks like a table.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
And it's also at a weird level too, because it's
never the comfortable spot would be up higher on your chest,
but that just looks weird. Nobody wants to bend over.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
That far to set a cup.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
Yeah, I mean to me. What a coffee table is
is a foot rest. But that's what the ottoman is there.
We have an ottoman for the foot rest, So why
do I need a coffee table?
Speaker 3 (19:02):
Well, and we had one. It was gifted to us
from the Brooks. Okay, oh the Brooks. I think it
was just.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
At their barn. They weren't really using it.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
Oh that Brooks. I was like, who the hell is Brooks?
The Brooks, I thought you were saying a cad Brooks.
Speaker 3 (19:19):
And there were four trays in it, and so we
had the four trays upside down, so it was like
you almost there was just four different areas. Just think
of a tick tag toe board, but there's only four
squares and it's they go under the table. Yeah, one
day I was looking at it, so it was even
worse than a coffee table.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
No wonder.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
It was gifted to us because Brooks decided he didn't
need this crap.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
So we had all this stuff that would just go.
Speaker 3 (19:45):
Into the coffee table, but it was still exposed and
it was just weird looking.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
I think we had the four trays upside down.
Speaker 3 (19:53):
So then one day I was just sitting there after
a couple of beers and I thought, what if I
flipped those right side up?
Speaker 1 (19:58):
And I did so.
Speaker 3 (19:59):
Now it's an actual table, it's not something that goes
underneath into the coffee table. So it's one percent better,
but it's still an annoying coffee table that's we've now
pushed to the side of our house. I thought you
were gonna say, it's so much better now. It is
than what it was because it was randomly for trays
and a coffee table that you never really took out. God,
they would just sit in there and was odd and
(20:21):
so you couldn't really set stuff on top of it
because there was no table space because they all went
into the table.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
And so now it's got demoted.
Speaker 3 (20:28):
It used to be in front of the couch, now
just to the side of the couch, off to the corner,
and we put a Kleenex box on it. I love
a good coffee table. And then there's another one upstairs
that was gifted to us by the Browns.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
Whoa for our wedding.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
WHOA, but but would you like one for your birthday?
Speaker 3 (20:53):
No?
Speaker 2 (20:53):
By the boxes, I can't do enough because I have
an extra coffee table.
Speaker 3 (20:57):
So that coffee table it doesn't go with the house
at all. It went with the apartment. Yeah, like, it
definitely went well with the apartment, the way.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
Your house is white, right, yeah, no, yeah, we don't
need we need color. The other coffee table that we
bought at a a state sale that would lasted one
month until my wife decided she didn't like it and
we had to drive three hours to get a different
one is white. It would go perfect with your house.
I'll drop it by.
Speaker 3 (21:22):
I can't do a third coffee table, So the Browns
coffee table has been demoted to the main cave. Oh
and in the main cave it's pushed off all the
way to the other side of the main cave where
I don't even go.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
And just the other day I told Bazer, I said,
it's still pointless.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
I don't need it for anything, Like, there's no reason
I love it.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
It was a beautiful gift.
Speaker 2 (21:45):
Thank them.
Speaker 3 (21:46):
It was perfect at our condo when we had the
penthouse on the west side.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
But it just.
Speaker 3 (21:51):
Sits there and it annoys me because at block space
where you could be catching footballs, you could be throwing
air mattresses, you could be putting pillows.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
For me to throw a boomerang.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
When we're dunking.
Speaker 3 (22:03):
I said, it's just a pointless coffee table in the
middle of the main cave. I, hey, coffee tables.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
Are you talking about me? God? Are you talking about
the Browns from feeling yourself.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
The late Brown family? Yes?
Speaker 2 (22:18):
Wow, yeah, see it's really weird. Man, I don't know.
So yeah, I've got two coffee tables staring at me.
But that's here in North there. We are past it.
I'm over it. I'm happy. I'm happy. My wife is
happy we got this coffee table. And I told her
you ain't buying another damn coffee table like you've bought
in two with the last two months. If you don't
like this one, tough tits.
Speaker 3 (22:39):
And what would be amazing is if the Loser's Nation,
Sore Losers Nation on Facebook posted your pointless coffee tables
please just so I can get a good laugh.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
Yeah, let's do it. Thread at coffee tables.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
Man, at how pointless they are.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
I don't even take a picture of this coffee table.
Speaker 3 (22:55):
Heck, I'll take a picture of mine. I'll take a
picture of the Brooks one and the Browns one.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
Thank you. That's what we're doing today. We're doing a
thread of coffee tables. Man like, no, hey, you guys
want hard hitting podcasts, this is where you come. Where
else are you gonna get a breakdown of coffee tables?
And we want us to show your coffee tables.
Speaker 3 (23:15):
The dumbest piece of furniture in American societal history, the
coffee table. Yeah, hey, what about a bookend? No, I
was trying to think of something else. Now I'm trying
to think of something else. What else is pointless? I
mean my parents, their stuff was all practical. We had
a wooden chest. It was awesome. My dad put a
(23:36):
bunch of firewood in it and then it would just
look like a cool wooden chest. Okay, so it's it
always seems like back in the day it was practical.
And then we got people that were artsy and stuff
and invented the coffee table. Because most people don't even
put their coffee on the coffee table.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
Right, They're usually walking around drinking their coffee because it's
in the morning and you're usually getting kids ready at
least my wife is, so she doesn't really ever sit down,
but she does love to sit down on a Saturday
and take an hour and a half to drink her coffee,
which drives me insane because when I get up, I
want to go. I want to like, let's get the
day started. The lounging around. Guess what it makes me do?
(24:13):
It makes me sleepy, makes me want to go back
to sleep.
Speaker 3 (24:16):
But you gotta give her that space to finish the
coffee basers the exact same way.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
I guess it's this experience they want me.
Speaker 3 (24:23):
I hit the coffee like it's just kind of like
a Jaeger bomb on a Friday night. That coffee's done
in about two minutes. I only drink it once a week, Saturday, Oh, Saturday, Saturday.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
And I'm now, how do you do you do it black?
Or do you do them the creamer?
Speaker 1 (24:37):
We got the coffee pot, and or.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
Do you have an espresso?
Speaker 3 (24:41):
Now we don't do that crap, but we have a
it's all made. I have to put the beans in
that they're already beamed, so they're like, it's just the ground, grounds,
the grounds. You gotta put the water in and then
it comes out black. And then we put this Chibani
makes all these different flavorings. Now, gibbani the yogurt, yogurt
and in your coffee. Yes, but they make amazing mixers.
(25:02):
Now there's like a cookie dough one, there's a vanilla one.
So we do that, and then she does some sort
of milk thing that I put in hers, but hers
hasn't experienced me.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
She's like, can you please just enjoy it? Dude. I
hozzle it down a couple minutes. I'm like, all right,
what are we doing?
Speaker 3 (25:20):
But yes, the women like the experience of the coffee.
It's warm, it's in their hands. It's how they start
their days. Guys, all right, what are we doing today?
I just finished my coffee. Boy, that was great.
Speaker 2 (25:34):
I've never seen something like it in my life because
my parents didn't drink coffee, so I'm not used to
someone needing to sit down and relax to enjoy their coffee. Like,
it's weird to me that it takes an hour to
enjoy one cup of coffee.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
Well, it has.
Speaker 3 (25:50):
Become much more popular than when we were kids, because
middle aged people. No, we're not middle aged, but a
lot of people didn't drink coffee when we were kids.
Hold on, we are, Yeah, So coffee is growing in popularity.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
I think do you think coffee is more popular now
than it was?
Speaker 1 (26:07):
Hell?
Speaker 3 (26:07):
Yeah, there's now Dutch Bros here, Ryobugs, seven Brew. There's
another one. Scuba wanted Scooters. He was naming all the
coffee spots he wanted. He had to have it on
our way to Chicago. So I found a Scooters, I
found a seven Brew, I found a Dutch Bros.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
What do you want, Scuba? I think you're right. It
has to be more popular than ever just because of
the availability. Now kids are drinking the iced coffees and
when they're twelve years old, which is bananas to me.
But is coffee any worse than drinking a coke? I
don't know what has more caffeine.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
And do your kids drink the cokes?
Speaker 2 (26:41):
No? They drink sprites.
Speaker 3 (26:44):
Yeah, I would say the propels and those other ones
you drank with the kids. The Logan Brothers made.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
Oh Prime, Yeah, good god.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
We already got the propels lined up for Boomer. That's
all he lost.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
Propel, Oh myad.
Speaker 3 (26:58):
I don't know which is worse pels every day, because
there's got to be something in them, pops or coffee.
Speaker 1 (27:06):
One of them is gonna kill you. I just don't
know which one.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
Yeah, the kids are really they love the Gatorade two
they love powerade, they love it all. Like we went.
I mean, we went and played golf on Sunday for
Father's Day.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
You've got a tea time on a Sunday?
Speaker 2 (27:21):
Oh no, No, we went to the par three course,
nine hole par three took the whole family, all three
box boys and the wife.
Speaker 3 (27:29):
I mean, if I went to my golf course on
Father's Day Sunday and asked for a tea time, they
would have laughed at me, stripped me naked, grabbed my
belt off my pants, and slapped me across the buttocks,
and told me to get the hell out of the club.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
So they would have gone belt to ass yes, belt asked.
Speaker 3 (27:47):
That I was so stupid asking if I could get
a tea time on a Father's Day Sunday.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
Now, I didn't even realize that the par three course
had tea times because I went in there and I
was like, hey man, we're just gonna try to play,
and he goes, all right, next time I can get
you out of is a twelve to fifty? Does that work?
Speaker 1 (28:03):
I'm like, that's professional.
Speaker 2 (28:04):
You have two times here. It's a part three course.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
Man.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
I thought people just come with a twelve back eye kid, exactly.
I thought, you just come and go as you want,
and you play as much you want. I yeah, I
guess that works.
Speaker 3 (28:15):
Man.
Speaker 2 (28:16):
I'll take the twelve to fifty, all right. You know
it's only like thirty five minutes. All right, cool man.
So we go back outside the kids, Oh, Dak, can
we get a gatorade? Can we get a gatorade?
Speaker 1 (28:24):
Hey?
Speaker 2 (28:24):
You know what, get a gatorade? Boys, pick out any
color you want?
Speaker 1 (28:27):
Can you drink it?
Speaker 2 (28:28):
Part three? You didn't drink anything you want.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
You got to tell me where that one is.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
It's right there in Shelby.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
Huh. Not the one we went to.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
No, not the one we went to.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
Different one.
Speaker 2 (28:39):
Yeah, it's right there by the baseball field. Okay, there's
two different courses there.
Speaker 1 (28:43):
Got it?
Speaker 2 (28:44):
And it's fantastic, dude. It's nine holes and it is perfect.
Speaker 3 (28:50):
See they have one over by, guys. I know we're
local here, not a lot of you guys know. It's uh,
it's west of West Nashville.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
That on. It's hard to get on it is. It's busy.
That one's really busy.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (29:02):
See.
Speaker 3 (29:02):
So I went and played that one. I took Boomer there.
It was kind of fun. I mean so that was
par three? Yeah, yeah, okay, and so then okay, par
three is trying to suck. Well, I kind of actually,
because you can't use any of your clubs. You're literally
just using a pitchy wedge.
Speaker 2 (29:16):
Okay, I understand that. I understand, But I'm with my
three kids, so I'm just trying to, you know, have
a day. Like we're oh, we're hitting the ball, have
some fun. This is what dad goes and does. I
play golf every once in a while. But is the
course like and when you get on the greens is
it nice or do they know it's fine?
Speaker 1 (29:31):
It is?
Speaker 2 (29:31):
Yeah, okay, it's not bad. And so we walk up
to the first tea, right and we're like, all right,
we're gonna be next, and there's a dad and the sun,
and the sun looks probably about eleven twelve, I don't
know ten, and the dad's like, oh, my son wants
to play with you guys. You guys want to play together.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
Have you not told this story already?
Speaker 2 (29:51):
No?
Speaker 1 (29:51):
You already told this story?
Speaker 2 (29:53):
No?
Speaker 1 (29:54):
Oh yeah, big show.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
And I'm like, yeah, man, we we'll play with you guys.
We may slow you down. He's like, oh no, it's Okay,
it's so fun. It's Father's Day. I'm like, all right, cool,
and my kids have never have. They don't know what
they're doing. They don't know the rules. I saw the one.
He's good. Well, yes, But they hit and then they
run to their ball, hit, run to the ball, and
(30:18):
I'm like, guys, guys, you gotta come back. They're hitting.
You gotta get back behind the ball. You're gonna get hit.
And they're just running up and they're running this way,
running back. Dad, give me the putter, Dad, give me
the putt. I'm like, Bud, you gotta wait because he's
gonna hit and you don't want to get hit. And
they're running over here and oh Dad, mine's over here
behind the tree. Let me get it. Oh whack, And
they don't wait and they just go walk up in
(30:39):
front of the guy. Hit sounds like.
Speaker 1 (30:41):
Baser and Angelina after a couple of fireballs.
Speaker 2 (30:43):
Let me tell you how stressful that first hole was.
It was like the most stressful time in my life
because I'm like, worried they're gonna get hit. This dude's
gonna get pissed. And then finally I'm like, guys, just
wait and we get done with. We get up on
the green and the guy's about to put the Dad
and my kid just putt put putt, and you can
see his eyes just like, are you freaking kidding me?
(31:04):
He has that look. And we get to the second
t and he's just like, all right, man, he puts
his ball down. I was like, hey, you know, guys,
I mean, I know my kids are kind of crazy
and it may be stressful, so if it's better for
you guys to just go ahead, you know what I mean.
He was like, Junior, what do you think? And Junior goes, yeah,
we should probably leave them, and they left us. Yeah,
(31:27):
but they were the ones that invited us to play
with them. I didn't say, hey, can we play with you?
Speaker 1 (31:33):
That's his business decision.
Speaker 2 (31:34):
So they realized after one hole that this was gonna
be a nightmare because we get to the third hole
and baby Box he tees it off. Dad, I'm gonna
do a redo, runs and gets his ball, hits again.
Oh Dad, I'm gonna do a redo. Runs and gets
his ball boom, hits another one third time, gets it
to within ten yards of the green. Dad, I'm gonna
do a redo, runs down there, gets his ball he
(31:57):
did eight redos.
Speaker 1 (31:59):
Can we get a marshall on the par three.
Speaker 2 (32:01):
Eight redos on the course on number three? So it's
taken forever. Then there's this guy coming up and he's big,
tall guy, and I'm like, oh, man, you want to
play through? You know you're just by yourself. He goes,
all right, man, I just no pressure, but this is
only my second day playing golf, so excuse me if
(32:22):
the ball doesn't go where it's supposed to go.
Speaker 1 (32:24):
The guy said that, yeah, you're with kids.
Speaker 2 (32:27):
I'm like, it's all right, dude, you go ahead. You're
by yourself. It doesn't matter where it goes. You're gonna
be faster than we are.
Speaker 1 (32:31):
You'll be better than the little one.
Speaker 2 (32:33):
And let me see. He steps up and it's about
one hundred and twenty eight yard par three and I'm like,
this is about to be real bad, right, He's never
he's this only second day ever playing golf. He hit
the flag stick, shoes, he hit the stick, freaking dart dart,
And I'm like, your second day playing golf. He goes, yeah, man,
(32:58):
just picking up the game. It didn't go in, but
it hit the stick and fell down right next to
the hole.
Speaker 1 (33:03):
You got any stock advice?
Speaker 2 (33:05):
And I'm like, do you give swing lessons?
Speaker 3 (33:07):
Man?
Speaker 2 (33:07):
Like, how the hell did you do that? I've never
done that in my life?
Speaker 1 (33:11):
You shake it.
Speaker 2 (33:13):
I was just like, how did he if he would
have got a hole in one on his second day
of golf.
Speaker 1 (33:18):
At a part three?
Speaker 2 (33:20):
Does it count?
Speaker 1 (33:21):
I mean, does it count when I get a hole
in one on my back flag and on Pattio?
Speaker 2 (33:25):
Seriously, if you're playing a part three course, it doesn't count, man.
Speaker 1 (33:29):
I mean you can tell.
Speaker 3 (33:31):
Once you get to serious groups like us, you're not
gonna tell us. You tell like a couple of your
loser dads, you may hole in one. But when you're
like with us, we're like golfers that Eric Dodd justin
you can't claim a hole in one.
Speaker 1 (33:43):
Loser dads at the pool.
Speaker 3 (33:45):
That you know middle management, they've given up on life.
You can tell them hole in one because they ain't.
Speaker 2 (33:49):
In another difference, that's funny because I texted the group
the Fellas and I said, hey, boys at the par
three course at the boys for Father's Day, if I
get a hole in one, does at count? And Jacob said,
I'd count it? And Greg said, he said, man, counting
(34:09):
a hole in one and a part three is like
Jamal Charles being in the Special Olympics. Did you know
Jamal Charles was in the Special Olympics?
Speaker 1 (34:18):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (34:18):
Because didn't he Isn't he the one that introduced the
Chiefs pick or whatever that clip that's going viral.
Speaker 2 (34:23):
I don't know. But he had ADHD, so he was
in the Special Olympics. Jamal Charles. I mean, can you
imagine how bad he is killing people in the Special Olympics?
Speaker 1 (34:36):
Geez at Texas.
Speaker 2 (34:41):
When he was younger. It said it gave him the
confidence to succeed. Oh, man, So yeah, I don't know
if you counted or not. But we'll take a break.
We'll be right back. Coaches, did you watch that NBA draft? Man?
Speaker 1 (34:56):
I saw the nixt one again they did. I don't know.
I didn't watch it.
Speaker 2 (35:00):
Oh yeah, I didn't. Really. The Spurs got someone that
has a torn acl or something that he maybe out
the whole year. Then we got the Yukon Center. I
don't know. We got two big dudes. Great sounds good.
Speaker 1 (35:10):
One of our old interns, Gabe.
Speaker 2 (35:14):
Gabe.
Speaker 3 (35:15):
I think I follow him on X We have an
intern named Gabe. Back in the day ten years ago. No, no,
I don't know. I didn't even click on it, go ahead,
but he said something like, Spurs, it's just a terrible
draft pick. I'm again with this franchise, not happy with that.
It's gonna set us back or something. Not not approve
of that draft pick. And so that reminded me why
I truly hate the Spurs. Not only is it you,
(35:37):
not only is it Billy, not only is it.
Speaker 2 (35:39):
Some guy named Gabe that you Maabe.
Speaker 3 (35:41):
Not only is it who is the other cruise? There's
so many Spurs fans that's there was freaking there was
freaking interns that like the Spurs. Everybody at the Walmart
distribution center like the Spurs and New bron fules. That's
why I hate the Spurs.
Speaker 1 (35:57):
But that's all I saw about the draft.
Speaker 2 (36:00):
Yeah, I don't know. I just wondered. I didn't want.
I mean, it's cool.
Speaker 3 (36:03):
Somebody said that byu deebon Sanza guy went to the Wizards.
He went number one, and I guess the Wizards are
within the Washington, DC, Maryland area. And also he went
to school at the Washington DC, Maryland area.
Speaker 2 (36:14):
Oh did he really? I didn't know that.
Speaker 3 (36:15):
Eve and they showed his elementary school cheering when he
got drafted.
Speaker 2 (36:19):
That's cool.
Speaker 1 (36:20):
And I was like, so they had a watch party
in elementary school during the summer for him on a
random Tuesday night when he got drafted.
Speaker 2 (36:28):
And these story griders have no idea.
Speaker 1 (36:29):
Who he is, Like they actually knew that he went
to their school.
Speaker 2 (36:33):
Now that you say that kind of weird.
Speaker 3 (36:34):
I may have got ai' I don't. I'm like, what
an odd post on X. But you know what, that's cool.
Go Wizards and Deepen Stanza. He was supposed to win
the Woody Award ended up going to that boozer kid. Yeah,
Deepen Stanza. He had a fine year. Maybe he was
supposed to do a little bit better.
Speaker 2 (36:53):
He did great. Man. Hey, we got an email Coachers.
We have run into a little problem for the coach convention.
Bree from Kentucky is pregnant and is due in December.
So my diluma is go solo or bring her and
the baby along and just leave them in the room
for the fun things. I say, she kills me either way.
(37:15):
What do you think I should do? Jesse from Kentucky, we.
Speaker 3 (37:20):
Need to make some advances with daycare. Wow, you never
know what truck driver is gonna have a kid show up.
Speaker 2 (37:29):
First of all, Jesse, congratulations on the baby. Congrats, there's
still one thing missing. I understand the baby, and I
know Brie. We had talked about this last convention, and man,
I don't know what the hell you're waiting for. We
talked about doing a wedding at this convention. Obviously that
is off, and Bree said she didn't want it at
(37:50):
the convention. My suggestion to you would be I would
leave her at home and come solo. Because you coming
back to the room absolutely s lost after the open
bar happy hour brought to you by Freeland Chevrolet. You're
(38:11):
gonna wake the baby up. You're gonna wake her up.
And you've never seen a woman mad until you wake
her up when she's been up every two hours with
a newborn baby. So that would be my suggestion. Leave
her and the baby at home, bring the big rig,
and come rolling into town.
Speaker 3 (38:28):
Guys, I'm gonna look into it. Maybe we do need
some daycare at some of these events. You know, they
could also double as EMTs in case somebody does have
a couple too many, or security or stanching guy. But
(38:50):
also all in one area is daycare. Yeah, daycare could
turn into adult care. That's what I was shooting for.
Got it, I didn't know that. Lunch and Ray, Ray.
Speaker 1 (39:02):
You need to write out these jokes beforehand.
Speaker 2 (39:04):
We started our cross country road trip last Friday with
our two boys. We like to visit college campuses and
check out the local football stadiums. This year we will
be seeing many MLB stadiums and hoping to get to
a few games. What was your most memorable family vacation
as a child. The Shriebers from Arizona.
Speaker 3 (39:25):
Hey, Shreebe, I'm gonna take the rains on this one
real quick. The best was we would always for our
birthday Labor Day weekend September go to Denver to three
Rockies games one weekend. Don't remember the age, it was,
maybe in middle school. My dad always had to stay
an hour outside the city. Always you couldn't even see
the skyline. And then we're drive into the games every day. Okay,
(39:47):
One time he had to stay at the Cherry Creek
ind downtown Denver and it was awesome. The van picked
you up, took you to the game, went through alleys,
and you were maybe five minutes from the Baseball stadium
in Blake Street, in that Denver area. There it was greatness.
The van smelled like cherry and I'll never forget that.
Speaker 2 (40:10):
Man. I'm gonna tell you one of my favorite memories.
We were driving to Chicago and my mom decided to
do something very special for us that year, and she
was like, I'm going to read you guys a book.
Why we ride so it's like a you know, we
as the journey goes on, we get deeper and deeper
into the book. And she was like, I'm going to
go to the library and pick out a book. And
(40:32):
we all love dogs. We love dogs, and so she
found a dog book called Where the Red Fern Grows.
Oh my gosh, I will never forget pulling into Grandma
and Grandpa's gravel little driveway more like a parking area
than a driveway, and we are all uncontrollable, sobbing and
(40:56):
crying at the end of that book, and Grandma and
Grandpa coming out going what's wrong? Is everybody? Okay? We
were reading Where the Redford Grow.
Speaker 1 (41:10):
It was.
Speaker 2 (41:12):
Unbelievable and we still talk about it to this day.
Absolutely fantastic. Another one I went on, I went on
two baseball trips. One was my senior year after I
graduated high school. That summer me Chess Day, chess Day's
little brother, chess Day's dad, and no teeth Keith Kid,
(41:33):
Can I roll bitch. We jumped in a van from Austin, Texas,
and we headed east and we went to Houston, saw
a game at in Ron Field. Then we headed northwest
and hit Arlington, saw the Rangers the next day. Then
(41:54):
we headed kind of north east and went to Saint
Look maybe it was just straight north. We went to
Saint Louis and saw the Cardinals and Mark McGuire, and
then the next day we drove east to Cincinnati and
saw a Reds game. The next day we headed up
north hit Chicago and the Chicago Cubs. The next day
(42:15):
we went north and we saw the Milwaukee Brewers at
County Stadium, which that was when the crane had fallen
into their new stadium and it was just there the
crane was tumped toppled over. They delayed their stadium opening
a year because of that. And then we drove back
to Chicago, hit Chicago, then we went home. It was
a baseball trip for the ages.
Speaker 1 (42:37):
That's pretty awesome.
Speaker 2 (42:38):
One game every day, and you saw McGuire, saw McGuire,
none of them.
Speaker 1 (42:43):
Were reigned out. Pretty lucky on that.
Speaker 3 (42:45):
Yeah, I can't believe you did it one a day
with one a day, dude. I mean the Chicago to
Milwaukee's easy, that's only an hour. Yeah, but the brutal
one had to have been like the Saint Louis to Chicago.
Speaker 2 (42:57):
Saint Louis and Cincinnati Smarlington to Saint Louis.
Speaker 1 (43:01):
That had to be a beast.
Speaker 2 (43:03):
I mean, I don't remember it being a beast, but
I remember being so excited, and I mean we saw
here's what's funny. We saw the Cardinals play the San
Francisco Giants. You know who played for the Giants, McCovey,
cove Barry Bonds. And I was up there trying to
get autographs. This is, I mean a long time ago,
(43:26):
and Chess Day is like, dude, I'm gonna go it
was batting practice. He goes, I'm gonna go out to
the outfiel, I'm gonna catch a home run ball. I'm
gonna catch a home run ball. I'm gonna get a
Barry Bond's home run ball. Or McGuire when I was
like well, the Giants are batting, goes, oh, yeah, yeah,
I'll just get Barry Bonds. So he goes out there,
and Barry Bonds is hitting, and he switches out with
(43:46):
a guy by the name of Desi Wilson. Look him up,
left hander, never heard of him, never heard of him
since Desi Wilson. Hits one damn, and I look up
and I see chess day layout. I mean full dive
to catch the ball, and he catches it. And then
(44:08):
I see him pop up and start running and he
runs all the way back to where I'm standing by
the visitors dugout. He was like, I got a Barry
Bond's ball. I got a Barry Bond's ball. I was like,
it was Desie Wilson.
Speaker 1 (44:25):
Dude, what are the odds He actually caught it.
Speaker 2 (44:29):
He caught it. And not only did he catch it,
He goes, dude, I spilled a lady's beer all over
her when I dove all over her. And he said,
I said sorry, jumped up and ran. He goes, dude,
it was Barry Bonds. I was like, no, no, no, it
was Desi Wilson.
Speaker 3 (44:46):
There must have not been that many people at that game,
because now there's no way you're gonna get in that
area and get a home run that easily. But it
was batting practice, okay, so it's pregame got it.
Speaker 2 (44:58):
It was his arracle. I've never I've never laughed so
hard in my life.
Speaker 3 (45:02):
The odds just went from one in a million to
probably had like a one and four shot.
Speaker 2 (45:06):
Hey, I forgot to tell you another great thing that
happened on that trip. I'll tell you right after this.
Speaker 1 (45:12):
Hey, you just tell it. I gotta jump.
Speaker 2 (45:16):
It's okay, I just hit it. The other great thing
is we're in Arlington right and the Rangers are playing.
I couldn't tell you who the Rangers are playing, and
Chess Day and I are like, we're gonna go down there,
and we sneak down to the front row right next
(45:37):
to the Rangers on deck circle and one Gonzalez is
at the plate, Rafayel, Paul Marrow's on deck and one
going going, going gone. Gonzalez kind of hits up number
off the end of the bat. Foul ball comes rolling,
(45:59):
belt is off the walls, too far for me to reach,
and I'm like, chestay grab it, Chesty grab it, and
he's leaning, leaning, leaning, and he falls over the wall
and he's laying just laying there on the field and
he looks around, hops up, jumps back into his seat,
(46:22):
and his wallet is on the field. His wallet is
laying there. And this is back in the day when
you had those long wallets, like they looked like they
could put a check book in him.
Speaker 1 (46:32):
They were really long.
Speaker 2 (46:33):
They kind of stuck out of your back pocket. And
I'm like, your wallet, your wallet, your wallet. He didn't
hear me in time by the time he jumped back
over the wall. And here comes Rafael Paul Marrow and
he picks up the wallet. And what does Paul Marrow
do with it? Does he hand it back to us? No,
(46:55):
he puts it in his back pocket. Paul Marrow puts
the wallet his back pocket and starts warming up, taking
practice swings, and here comes security. They're gonna kick Chess
Day out of the game, and Paul Marrow waves them off, says,
no man, go ahead, go ahead, get out of here.
(47:15):
And then Paul Marrow takes the more practice cuts and
we're just dying, dying, laughing. And then Paul Marrow comes
to give it back to Chess Day. He opens it up,
he takes a twenty out of the wallet and hands
chess Day the wallet. He gave him the wallet minus
(47:36):
twenty dollars, and he puts the twenty in his pocket,
takes a couple more hacks, and then before it's just
turn to hit, he walks back over and gives chess
Nay his twenty back. Unfreaking believable. So uh Shariber's family.
That is one of the best memories. Those are the
(47:58):
trips I remember. Unbelievable. Oh and then when we get
back to Chicago from Milwaukee, chess Day wanted to go
to Woodstock and every one of the friends I was
not one of the people that was going to go.
There were some other friends from our graduating class of
Anderson High School nineteen ninety nine that were supposed to
go with chess Day. They all backed out at last minute,
(48:20):
and chess Day really wanted to go, and his father
was not going to let him go solo on a
bus from Chicago, and chess Day stormed out of my
grandma's house and went for a walk and he ended
up getting lost and he had to get on a
payphone and call his mother back in Austin, Texas, who
(48:42):
had to call my grandmother's house and say, hey, Chess
Day is lost. Can you go get him from the
payphone at this location? And we did, and the next
day we dropped Chess Day off. He took a Greyhound
to New York and he went to Woodstock nineteen ninety
nine by himself. Unbelievable sense of adventure and stubbornness from
(49:04):
an eighteen year old kid. But he did it. He survived.
And bravo to him for having the guts and the
gumption and the where the sense of adventure to go
out there and do what he wanted to do. Oh amazing,
that is a great trip. Jenny, the Shrieberers family, the Shrieberers, Sheberers, Sharerbers.
(49:28):
I don't know how you say your last name, but
enjoy it. From Arizona. Man, you guys have a great Wednesday.
We're out. Ray had to bail Ille was good.
Speaker 1 (49:39):
