Speaker 1 (00:06):
I love it starting the show right off. Huh.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
And so we are on a country morning show, and
then this is our spinoff.
Speaker 1 (00:12):
We have a podcast, h going back to the good
old days, the good old days.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
And I'm gonna do this. I actually want to. So
I've been listening to some other other podcasts. Oh and
there's a couple of things I want to do with
sounds that I want to bring to this. And then
I think, and then we need a goodbye because some
of these podcasts I've been listening to, if it's a
memorable goodbye, it leaves people like, dang.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
What are they going to do? Man?
Speaker 2 (00:40):
Oh, my friends are leaving you and me, just don't
ever say goodbye. We just like hang up the phone.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
No we don't. We say that's kind of hanging up
the phone.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
It's just rude, Like I don't I hate that sound.
We do a sound people hate, like we need to
leave people like damn. Like truckers are sitting in their
truck and they're like, damn, friends are leaving me. Man,
all right, let's go find a lizard. We leave them
with er and then don't even say you buy and
hang up on them.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
Yeah, the HR people are like, man, my friends are leaving,
Let's go find someone doing something salacious at our office.
Let's go see if Rabel and Russini are around here.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
Hell of a segue, man, And you guys don't know this.
This is little inside baseball. We actually recorded that episode
days ahead of time, and in that episode earlier this week,
I said she was gonna get fired, and I said,
if Rabel goes oh for four, he's gonna get fired.
So I actually predicted her getting fired.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
She didn't get fired, she.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
Was resigned before it happened. Correct, So, but you guys
wouldn't know that. That's a little inside baseball. But I'm
never right. Let's not change that narrative. Guys, don't let
the facts get in the way of the truth. Don't
let the truth get in the way of your opinion.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
Le's going nowhere if they go, oh, it doesn't matter.
Him sleeping with a reporter does not affected his job
whatever at all. The reporter sleeping with the coach to
get information, that is a conflict of interest. The coach
he ain't getting information from her. What's he gonna get? Oh,
(02:13):
while they're in bed? So what did you say? The
bills are gonna run the bills, are gonna run the
slot XO. Oh okay, thank you Honey.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
Well and Klay Travis wrote an amazing piece do you
yes on this? And he gonna kick the coverage and
he basically said, what what we learn about the contracts
and coaches and player trades is always gonna come out
in the news, regardless of an insider. An insider just
gets it to us about an hour early or something,
but it's always gonna come out because it has to.
(02:43):
And he goes, so basically, the insider, we're not repeating
this episode. So he goes, basically, the insider is sucking
up to get us information an hour early. We're fine,
we don't need the insiders. Just let it come out
in the news.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
I agree with you, like the fact that Adam Schefter
is so busy with two or three cell phones and
is always on them trying to get inside information. Literally,
it is going to come out at some point on
a newswire, newswire something is gonna Oh there's a trade
(03:17):
going down. Oh, I'm getting worried. There's a trade. If
you would just wait five minutes at the draft, they
would announce.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
It when they go to the podium, and they're legally
supposed you can't just secretly have a player come to
your team. They have to tell the press, they have
to tell people. So it was gonna come in a
newspaper form or on a website or at a PR
site for the NFL. Eventually you're just getting it from
the Russinis an hour early. Yeah, but there's one where
they did the quote, so like, I guess Russini got
(03:46):
literal quotes from a coach one time. And they're like,
how did she get actual quotes from a coach and
a player secretly? Like nobody else had this, And it
was showing how she got quote on quote and they're like,
how did she get this information? They're pulling up old
tweets that she's done.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Well. I saw Michelle Beadle. She had an interesting angle
on it. She was like, you guys need to back
off Russini. All these other female reporters, you know, gloating
in her like demise and whatever happened. She goes, I
know about you too, and I will write a book
one day, so I would keep your mouth shut. She goes, look,
I made my mistakes, but luckily I did it before
(04:27):
social media was big. Luckily I didn't you know, and
she was like, so I've done it too. She didn't
say what she'd done, but she insinuated that she had
made mistakes in that realm of her career. And she
was yelling at all the other women reporters that were
coming after Russini, saying, listen, I will write a book
one day. So I am taking note of everybody that
(04:50):
is saying something, and I will spill your secrets because
I know what you've done too. And I'm like, dang, girl,
I love the people that go after each other.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
The Chicken Fry, Alex Earl and Alex Cooper go at
it girls.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
But Chicken Fry and Cooper were together, right, they were
what that podcast?
Speaker 2 (05:09):
Oh my gosh, no, no, you're not gonna want me
to explain this because the truckers don't even know. No, no, no,
Chicken Fry in this other large girl had a podcast together. Okay,
Chicken Fry and the large girl broke up, got it?
So then the large girl went to Alex Cooper's podcast network.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
Got it?
Speaker 2 (05:30):
But wait, that's why Chicken Fry hates Alex Coop. Cooper
and then Alex Earl used to be on the same
network as Alex Cooper and they had a falling out.
We're still trying to figure out that falling out, and
so now they don't like each other.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Got it?
Speaker 2 (05:42):
But who was Alice Cooper with Alex Cooper? Did it
with some other girl that just disappeared that she fell
out with?
Speaker 1 (05:50):
Yeah, and so what is that other girl doing? She
started a podcast? Is it working?
Speaker 2 (05:55):
They were amazing together on Caller Daddy. If you listen
to early episodes of our show, we were all over it.
It was a great show. But no, it's neither one
is what it used to be together.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
Take note of that. Dang. Oh interesting, right, well, crap,
I was about to tell you that I'm about to
go do a podcast with pits Man. Yeah, that falling out.
You know when you tell me, oh, I want to
do this long and I want this many commercial breaks,
you're very demanding and it's really getting on my nerves.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Oh yeah, it was very demanding when I told you, Hey,
I know you're sick. We need to do a podcast
for the commercials. I couldn't do one, but I got
I gotta prop to everybody on that one. They're all
over us. When we're on vacation. But I mean, if
that wasn't for me, commercials would have missed. There would
(06:42):
have been missing inventory, and I guarantee you the bottom
line would have been affected. But that was me taking
it upon myself.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
Hey, I appreciate you stepping up for the brand. I
understand it. It's very hard to step up for the brand.
Every once in a while when I miraculously get sick
for an entire week, I can't help that. That is nature.
Nature took its course. Nature got in my body. Nature
messed with me, and nature was saying, hey, you need
to slow down a little bit.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
And I appreciate you having my back and doing one pod.
And yes, you needed to slow it down a lot
of bit. I've been telling you or you're done with
the soccer stuff. If your body hasn't told you now
you know you know no, no, I'm not done with
the soccer stuff. That and it's the stuff. I love
your involvement with the kids. Pull back a little bit, man.
(07:29):
You don't have to go riding bikes at nine pm
when it's sixty degrees out.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
The other day you rode your bike to work. Yeah,
drive a car riding your bike to work is good.
It gets the blood flowing in the morning, get you
kind of like, wow, I'm awake. It makes you feel good.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
There's no award at the end of the rainbow for
best dad in the world. No, no, I never said
I was best dad. I'm just saying it's just being active.
I'd like to be active. I don't like I'm not
good at sitting around. But I'm saying I get antsy.
If your kids are a little sniffley and I'm not
feeling good, you don't got to play catch with him.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
It's okay.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
You can take a day off of playing soccer with
the kids.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
So what you're saying is I shouldn't give them a
hug when they're sniffley. Hey, guys, stay on the other
side of the room.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
Me and Bazel. It's if one of us is sick up,
She's going to the girl cave. I'm going to the
main cave. So who takes Pablo Piper? Piper, Piper just
takes care of herself.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
It's a cat, I don't know, But who does does
Piper pick sides in that? Does Piper go to your
room or Baser's room? Baser?
Speaker 2 (08:33):
And also, I mean dude, my own nephew almost didn't
go to our wedding because of COVID. So I mean,
sometimes you get like your kids, if they're sick, put
them in a room.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
I understand that, right, No, I get it, I should
stick them in a room. I'm not saying put them
in a cage. I know you're just saying put them
in a room. Totally understand.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
I don't want to be involved, Dad, I get it,
and I messed up, and so I appreciate it. I mean,
I don't want to go Alex Earl, Alex Cooper Route,
Alex Chicken Fry.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
I don't want to do that.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
And then everybody's waiting for Alex Earl to speak up,
because alec Earl says, wait till my time in the sun.
I got stuff to say, and people are like, it's
sonny out, what do you have to say?
Speaker 1 (09:13):
Question? Do people really care? No?
Speaker 2 (09:15):
But I'm it's it's fun watching other people fight, because guys,
how pointless is that on this earth?
Speaker 1 (09:21):
That fight?
Speaker 2 (09:22):
In the realm of thing grand scheme, It doesn't matter.
They're doing it for just a small percentage of people
that care. It's making them look like bad people. It
was probably over a dude. But it's not even a
fight because they haven't said anything. Well, all they said
is I'm mad at you. They don't say why, so
what is the fight. That's what I'm like. If there
was actual drama where it's like, because you did this, this,
(09:45):
this and this, and you had some bullet points, I
get being interested. But if I just went on the
internet and I said, hey, I'm mad at Susan ray Mundo,
that's it. Well, that is no drama because no one
knows why. Right, But what we're learning is there's there's
really no time for drama. The fact that they've wasted
(10:06):
now two weeks of their own lives with this drama.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
You're never getting those back. But yeah, yeah, I really
don't care.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
I mean in that's it's they've slept with each other's
dudes and it got a little messy.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
That'd be awesome, that.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Right, show me it, tell me it, let me hear it.
It's going to be a contract thing. She felt like
she was screwed out of some money or that she
was tricked at a young age. Alex Earl because she
was just out of college when she signed her podcast
deal with Hot Mess, So maybe it was something like
that contract type stuff or but they're both like And
also when I watched it, I watched their first podcast,
it felt like Alex Cooper was getting the older woman
(10:41):
and she's now looking at her younger self Alex Earl,
so she was for sure jealous, but she was like, Hey,
how do you do this? So what do you do
with that? Alex Cooper was like, Oh, let me pick
up a couple of tricks.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
Man, I'm an old lady. Huh man, Uh, you want
to talk about kids, sports or do you want to
talk more about Alex Earl and Alex dB Cooper?
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Well, dB Cooper, Man, that's one for another day.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
Yeah, what's your theory on that? Man? I don't care.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
We gotta do it live, potty potty, all right, We're
gonna do it live.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
We ah the one two three? So loser? What up? Everybody?
I am lunchbox. I know the most about sports. I
give you the sports facts, my sports opinions because I'm
pretty much a sports genius, y'all.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
It is sizzing from the North Alpha Male Live on
the North side of Nashville. Bazer two point three acres
just got Mode Furt and the dirt.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
Didn't have to pay for the dandelion spray.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
Absolutely amazing, love Jose for that is honesty, genuine guy.
And he said I don't want the money. He said
it in Spanish and he said, I'll do in the fall.
I'm not taking your money. I'm not taking your pesos.
Thank you very much. Jose yard looks great, especially after
that storm last night.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
More rain in the.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Dirt, Furt and the dirt is now really in the dirt. Man,
It's great be in Nashville, Tennessee.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
Over to you. I didn't see that storm coming. Did
that pop up out of nowhere?
Speaker 2 (12:05):
I got to tell you, being the weather man that
I am. Caught me by surprise with my pants down
as well.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
Yeah. Literally, yeah, we did a bad job because we
had the art show last night at the kid's school.
The painting's now blank. Well now the art shows where
you go, and I thought it was gonna we were
gonna see the art that they have been working on
all year, every piece of art they've done. Dad. I
taped the banana to the wall and it was from
five to six pm, so I was like, man, we
(12:31):
got to get there early. We got to get there
right at five that way we can see all the art.
We can walk the whole school, see everything they've done. Dude,
what is your kid? Get banksy? Well, there's two kids
going to one school. They've been in school for the
last since August and now it is April. So that's
a lot of months if you do the math. Not
gonna do it in my head, but it's about twelve months.
(12:53):
So I go and you know what they have. They
have one piece of art that you look at, Mom,
Can I draw you like a French girl? So the
kindergarteners they have a self portrait where they drew their face,
and then they have their brain that's open, and they
drew a bunch of little pictures in their brain what's
on their mind? And I was like, oh, that's cool.
And my kindergarten I walked up and I was like, dude,
(13:16):
I found yours baby box two. I found yours because
it had his name in the brain. He goes, that's
not mine, Dad, What do you mean it's not yours?
He goes, mine's right there. Oh, and then here comes
this chick walking up. She goes, look, here's mine. She's
the one that has my son's name on her brain.
(13:36):
Oh she wants him. She wants him, I guess. I
mean she runs up gives them a big old hug,
but there's his name all across her brain. And I
was like, what's going on here? And her parents were
quite embarrassed.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
I'm shocked they actually drew it. Figured AI would now.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
No, No, they drew it. And then my son, my
first grader, baby box one. You go to the first
grade section and they made ice cream Sundays. What the picasso? Yeah,
so they cut out some circles of different colors, put
them on there, put a little dullop of white whipcreen
on there, and then put a red cherry on top.
(14:11):
And that was their big art project for the year.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
I was gonna say two things were lacking on this country.
Soccer were horrible as a country at soccer. And paintings
in art. Italy kills us every year, year after year,
all of it's over there, not here. You ever seen
a kid paint storry night? I don't think so that
was Vincent Bango.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
No, I've never seen it, and I didn't see it
last night. And so that was the end of the art.
Show was one piece of art per person, And I
was like wow. So then I had to go to
an event. It was a charity event for kid Power,
and my wife stayed at the school that the kids
play outside, and then they I guess they went to dinner.
(14:50):
And the only problem is we left the dog in
the backyard. Ruh, No, what happened last night? It escaped? No,
the storm blew in.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
Roof the storm blew in, and we didn't know the
storm was coming. The dog was in the backyard and
so he was out there in the middle of the storm.
I guess he started freaking out and he was able
to knock the back door open. He came inside. But
the bad news is the back door was open, it
(15:22):
was stormy. There was a puddle of water by the
back door when they got home from dinner. Woo, I mean,
who stole my lightning strike sound effect?
Speaker 1 (15:33):
We had no idea that storm was coming. We wouldn't
have left the dog in the backyard.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
The back door would not have been able to be
knocked open, and we wouldn't have a water all over
the back of the house.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
What was that? They just played? Do you hear it? No?
I didn't. I did hear it, But I don't know
what that was. I don't know what that is, says
lightning straight It sound lightning.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
Well, the storm was apparently in certain parts it blew
over stuffing Green Hills. There was tons of water inside
the parking garage. So I think it hit this skyscraper
from the north southwest and then by us.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
The trees, I mean they were a good thing they're
limber because they were almost horizontal.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
Yeah. I mean I got a check from Scuba saying, hey,
what's the weather's guy's twitter? I need to follow him.
I need to know what's going on. And then we
got a message from Baby Box three school the transformer
was knocked down, no electricity. They would try to have
it fixed by the morning. Here we are Friday morning.
They sent us a message still no electricity, pre K canceled. Man.
(16:37):
So he's got the day off today, man.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
And it also makes me appreciate our job because the
storm and everything, it just it weirded me out. I
didn't because I didn't know about it, so I really
didn't have a chance to see it coming along, see
the damage it did. In other places, it didn't do
any damage. It was just a lot of leaves down,
a lot of rain. Yeah, when you know. I brought
the American flag in.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
Baby box two, baby box three bikes absolutely drenched, left
out in the rain.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
Chairs, whipped a little bit, not enough to go fully
off the patio so that you're.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
Able to know the speed.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
It never knocks over my golf ball basket though, it's
almost like the wind goes through the golf balls. It's
crazy how the wind is, but it'll knock everything else
over except for those golf balls.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
It's those dimples, man, The dimples make the difference.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
That's wild, and so they I fell asleep in my
sweatshirt long story short, and I woke up and came
to work in the same sweatshirt.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
I was like, storm hit, no need to change. Let's
just sleep in our stuff and then go to work
in the same stuff.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
Really, that's really deep man.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
And Beezer came in, Oh, you don't even have the
fan on. Do you just fall asleep to the storm?
Speaker 1 (17:39):
I kind of did. It was actually soothing. I didn't
realize how bad it had stormed until I got out
of the charity event because it was in a big,
old blue room and I couldn't hear the I heard
the little bit of rain but then I got outside
and I'm like, whoa, there's leaves everywhere, there's puddles everywhere.
It must have really come down.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
Yeah, and her parents they're in a different city than us,
and her mom acted like it was a tornado. Tornadic
that's what Scuba was nervous, that's what I'm saying. And
I was like, it really wasn't tornado level threat. But
there was lightning, not really a lot of thunder. And
then the rain.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
There was big drops of rain in the wind, maybe
forty miles an hour.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
But I was out in it. I want to feel it.
That's how I'm able to really judge it. So I
knew it wasn't a threat.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
Went to bed good, and we'll take a break and
we'll be right back. You know, I don't want to
be that dad. I don't want to be that dad
in youth sports. But I'm becoming that dad in youth
sports because my oldest one, baby Box, he's on a
baseball team. It's coach pitch. We're learning the game of baseball.
(18:45):
He's loving the game of baseball. But game number one,
show up, look at the lineup, and they got him
batting last.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
Okay, okay, sounds like me at the celebrity softball game. Thanks,
I'll never come back. Always love hitting fifteenth. Didn't even
know that was possible.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
And they and they just at this age, they just
they just stuck him in the left field.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
Oh Caine Brown won Louren away to fourteen. Fifteen is
some girl named Sarah. Sixteen is the dog that's also
a bad dog. Seventeen is me?
Speaker 1 (19:21):
All right? Great, I will never come back to your
celebrity softball game. Thanks for having me. Cool. That first
game he gets up, he only gets about one time.
He strikes out, plays in left field. The entire game.
Not one ball goes to the left field because they
can't hit it that far in this show.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
Yeah, all right, cool, I'm thinking, you know, every inning
you'll switch positions, you know what I mean, move them around,
get some more playing time.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
No, no, yeah, just stuck in left field. Okay, all right,
that's cool. All right, Second game, new week, new week.
All right, here we go, here we go. Let's check
that batting order. Maybe box maybox batting last? Why is
he small? Is he not a good bunter? I'm not sure.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
I'm not sure, right because he's got my last name No,
I mean maybe it may be there's maybe there's animosity.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
I don't know. I don't know. You're telling me it's
politics already at that age, and yeah, there's politics everywhere. Man.
It never stopped.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
I know.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
It starts a T ball when you request to be
the Cubs. You're the first coach to request the Cubs,
and you don't get the Cubs.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
Now it starts at the fast food line. Hi, I'll
take some French fries. You mean American fries. Yes, freedom fries.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
That's what I want. So I want some freedom toast, please,
freedom toast on top.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
Yes, I'll take an American muffin opposed to an English.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
Muffin, Thank you very much. Anyway, he's batting last. Again,
I'm like, I don't really understand this. And he strikes
out two times. He bats twice, strikes out twice. So
now we have two games in three strikeouts, and I'm
feeling guilty.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
One more is the sombrero. Four strikeouts? Is the golden sombrero.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
Yeah, And I'm feeling guilty now because we went and
got a new bat because he is he's had the
same bat since T ball, so three years ago he
got a bat and he's a little bit bigger. Now
it's tying to get a bigger bat. Where'd you guys go, Dick, No,
we played against sports. Go get a used bat. We
don't need a brand new bat. We need a fifteen
(21:26):
dollars bat. And I feel like I got him a
bat that's a little too heavy. That's on you. I
know it was on me. But I tried to get
him to get the twenty six inch which was a
few ounces lighter. Swing it better. He's like, no, Dad,
I really like this bat. I really like this bat.
And me, being the pushover dad I am, I let
him get the twenty seven inch er and I feel
(21:47):
like he's just a little slow getting that bat around.
It's all about bat speed. It's all about bat speed.
And I keep trying to tell him. So we haven't
got a hit, and I'm like, hey, Bud, why don't
why don't we try a lighter bat. Why don't we
try your brother's bat? No, no, Dad, it's not a
good bat. And I'm like, well, let's just try and
we go out and get a bucket of balls and whack, whack, whack.
(22:09):
He's hitting it with the brother's bat, and then he goes, Dad,
this bat's no good, tosses its side, picks up his bat,
swinging a miss, swinging a miss, swinging a miss, winging
a miss. And I'm like, oh man, oh man. He's like, see,
I'm just so much better with this bat. I said,
do you you do understand the object of this game
(22:32):
when you're standing up there is to hit the ball
in front of you, not behind you. Yeah, Dad, I'm
just this bat, is it? This is the bat? All right? Man?
All right? Cool? Cool, cool. So let's go to the
third game. We show up to the third game. He's
batting last again. Tough to see. Yeah, I hate to
(22:54):
see it. I hate to see it. But there's a run.
How do you know?
Speaker 2 (22:59):
Do you peak around the dugout and see the lineup?
Speaker 1 (23:01):
Hung up? No? No, no, I just once they start the game,
I start realizing, okay, that's number eight hit here, wats
to get play out? I'm watching it play out in
real time. Honey, what are we own? Six nine? Damn it? Man,
Well it's been it's been two and a half innings.
He hadn't bad it. Yeah, this isn't a good sign. Okay,
he'll get up eventually, but I will say, he's playing
(23:25):
third base. And they finally started moving positions. They started
every inning switching positions, letting him play all the positions
every player.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
That's great, way to go, coach. And he's playing third base,
Good on you, coach. And it's first and second. This
guy hits a piss rod one hopper right to him.
He gets right in front of it, boom in the glove,
jogs it over to third, steps on the bag, gets out.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
What is he? Troy Tulowitzki and I was like, okay,
Nolan Aronado, you know what I mean, Look at that
glove flashing the leather down there at third. Good play.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
Alex Rodriguez and Jeter moved a short Okay, Scott roll
over there.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
Yeah, we really like the way you're you're digging that
ball out of the dirt. Hell play, Vinnie cass you oh,
wait to go, Chris Sabo, you know what I'm saying.
I just amazing. I'm all right. Ever we go, Matt Williams,
what do you say now? Good play? Max Muncie. Does
he play first?
Speaker 2 (24:16):
Yeah, he plays first, Podgers plays outfield.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
I think Matt Williams played third. I may play Mookie
when they move him. Over to third. Good player, Ramis Ramirez.
You know what I'm saying down there a third good
pick anyway, So he comes up. You think I'm watching
what guys play in the field.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
I just watch if they get a hit for beat
the Street, and I don't give a crap where they
play in the field. Way to go, Waite bolls Hey,
way to pick it, Yeah, bagpipes, Jeff Bagwell, he didn't.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
Play third first. Yeah he may. He may he moved
to first. I don't. Maybe he didn't start at first,
but I know he played first. Anyway, he comes to
the plate, he strikes out, comes to play later on
the game, he strikes out, golden sombrero. Hate to see it. Yeah,
we're there's many games in. He ain't got to hit.
(25:08):
It's three games in. He's striking out every time. And
now I will say, I will say the pitching on
the team is not the best. Tell him to use
abs challenge that. I will say the pitching is not
the best on the team. But I still think it's
the bat. And so I say, hey, man, bring me
the bat. I'll bring you the bats. You can throw
it over the balcony.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
No, I want to see if we can hit with it.
We still strike out with it. So yeah, we gotta
get a piece of paper, you, me and mckittion and
see if anybody can hit with the kid's bat.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
You and me are striking out and crap. We're like,
I don't know if it's the bat or we just
our back herds. We can't swing it as fast. And
I tell him, I say, hey, Bud, I really think
it's the bat. You're not getting through there quick enough.
You gotta gotta it's gotta be because I'll just swing harder.
Tell your son I went with a woman's putter. He goes,
(26:00):
I'll swing harder, and I'm like, it's not about swinging harder,
it's quicker, way quicker. He's like, no, Dad, I'm good.
I'm good with the bat. All right, cool, cool. So
last Saturday, Baby Box two has a game early in
the morning and Babybox one has one later in the afternoon.
So in between games, he's like, Dak, can we hit balls?
(26:21):
So we hit three buckets of balls and he's whack, whack, whack,
He's hitting it, and I'm like, okay, we got this.
We got this. We go into the game last Saturday.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
Because you guys practiced, Well, we've been pic We practiced
every week right in the yard and we go to
the park.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
We go everywhere. So you can just play a park
with hard balls. Yeah, you just go out in the
grass and where there's no people and just hit. There's
a school. You can go play in the field at
the school after school gets out until you put out windows. Well,
we don't go near the school.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
But you gotta have a home run fence. That's true,
so he knows how far you hit it. So we
go into the game last week and the coach has
this big speech before the game. He's like, hey, guys,
just so you know, I changed up the batting order
and that way more you know, some of you have
more opportunities to get up there at the plate and
you know, hit the ball. And and I'm like, oh,
and you can hear him saying this, and I'm like, good,
(27:14):
he switched up the order.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
Let's go. Yeah, here we go. That's my boy. I'm like,
that's what I like to hear. Are you yelling? No? No, no, no, no,
you're quiet at the game. Got gotta be quiet. No,
want to put the pressure on the kids. I read
it in a parenting book. Uh No, I just think
the kids have a lot going on in their head,
and if you're yelling at them, it just adds to it,
adds the pressure of the stress things like that. So
(27:38):
you like yelling into your breath like you definitely like, yeah,
oh for sure. I am tense. I am tense inside.
I am it's eating me up. I feel bad for
him that he hadn't got a hit. And the coach
gives this big speech about how he's changed up the lineup,
you know everybody, you know, people are gonna have better
opportunity to contribute, and I'm like, that is what I'm
(27:58):
talking about. My sons still batting. Last is the coach
wearing a coach sweatshirt T shirt. You got to get
him one, and so, oh yeah, you're right.
Speaker 2 (28:10):
Shop forward soretlosers dot com.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
He switched up the lineup, alright. A lot of kids
bat in different places. Not my kid, my kid, Wow,
the entire city. Your kid bats nine. Yeah, and I'm
a little hurt. I'm a little hurt, but I'm not
going to be that dad that goes and says something right.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
But I mean, he's been striking out. So he proved
the coach. Well, let's not blame it all on my kid.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
Let's say let's say that it is coach pitch and
I would say our picture is not the best. Is
it underhand? No?
Speaker 2 (28:46):
Okay, so there is definitely some wiggle room in him
not being good, yes, and it being tough to hit off. Yes, yes,
And I mean I swear my dad would throw it
to us faster, like thanks dad.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
So he gets up there and you get five pitches.
Do the coaches pitch to both teams or just one?
You pitch your team, another coach pitches their team, like, okay,
is my dad?
Speaker 2 (29:08):
We would go and there'd be a woman coach and
she sucked so bad. Not sexist, just saying, and my
dad would pitch to both teams.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
Okay, I like that. It was like his thing. Yeah.
Well he was a professional pitcher, so he's pretty good.
So you get five pitches, but you get three strikes.
If you strike swing at three, you're out. Like I've
watched a game before. No, no, but this is I'm
just telling you how it works. Abs. Can they challenge?
No challenge. They got to tap the hat. They got it.
(29:37):
They get there's kids that they want to tap the hat.
But they don't. I mean one kid did to go
the other day. Well, I mean that was four balls
I should walk, And I was like, well that's not
how it works, man, you gotta hit the ball. So
he gets up that first played appearance. First pitch, swinging
a miss, second pitch swinging a miss. Still got one
more kid, And this is where I am tight wound up, like,
(30:02):
oh my gosh, what's gonna happen?
Speaker 2 (30:04):
You sure that ain't your testy. Next pitch he just
lets it go by. Perfect pitch, right down.
Speaker 1 (30:10):
The middle, good eye, right down the middle, right in
the wheelhouse. That should have been a smack. Next pitch,
he just watches it. It was inside, good eye, good eye.
But now we're down to the last pitch. No matter
where it is, you have to swing. Fifth pitch, got
a swing. Fifth pitch comes in. Foul ball, all right, staying.
Speaker 2 (30:33):
Alive so you can keep following them off. You can
keep following them off. Next pitch, foul ball. Okay, okay,
all right, all right, next pitch, foul ball, yes, go
Oh my gosh, you're right on him, kid, all right,
next pitch, your wife yelling at him. Nope, nope, Next pitch,
(30:59):
line between short and third base, hit base hit, and
I am feeling amazing. Which bat, the heavy bat, the
heavy bat, and the monkey is off his back. I'm
feeling great, and I'm like, all right, I cannot wait
till he gets up to bat again so I can see,
you know, maybe maybe this is the thing he needed to.
Speaker 1 (31:23):
Happen to feel his confidence. And now he's just gonna
rip the ball. What did he do? Did he pimp
it a little bit? Was he? No? No, he ran,
he just ran hard. The kids now they're slamming the bats. Yeah,
he's not a bat slammer because it was his first
end of the season. Don't pimp it, son, run it out.
It felt great, It felt great. Did he go to
the outfield? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (31:42):
Wow, I mean after the hop, but that's still good. Yeah,
and I'm feeling good. I'm feeling good, so I'm like,
all right, second time to play. Let's see, let's see
what happens.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
Oh wait, I never got to see him hit a
second time because he's batting last. Me. It's a softball game.
I batted like once.
Speaker 2 (31:59):
Thanks, Rick, really appreciate you put me on the celebrity
softball team as a one hit guy.
Speaker 1 (32:04):
Everybody else hit five times. So fifty five minutes into
the game, I had to leave because baby Box three
had a T ball game, so I didn't get to
hit him see him hit a second time because he's
still batting last in the lineup.
Speaker 2 (32:15):
That's why I beat the streak. You always picked the
leadoff guy, number nine hitter. You'll see him like three times.
Speaker 1 (32:20):
And so I immediately right when I get to the
T ball game, I text the wife and I say,
how did the second at back go? She was talking
and she goes, oh, fantastic, smacked it right back up
the middle. Two for two. Two for two, she goes,
and he got up a third time. He hit a
(32:40):
little dinker in front of the plate, got to first base.
It wasn't a great hit, but he made contact, and
I was just like wow. And he came to me
when he got to the T ball game, He's like, Dad, Dad,
did you see my first hit of the season. So
that lets me know he was keeping tracking his head.
He knew what was going on that he hadn't had
a hit. Wow, what a MENSA member. So three for
three feeling good. That's worthy of ice cream. So now
(33:05):
I don't want to be that dad. But tomorrow we
have a baseball game, hell of a tease, and my
son better not be bat and last. He better not
be bat and last for the fifth game in a row. Then.
I don't know if I talked to the coach or not,
but I will let you know on Monday.
Speaker 2 (33:24):
That is a hell of a build up that only
the best podcasts do. Will he bat last? That's the
question we'll find out tomorrow. We'll take a break.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
After the weekend break, and we'll be right back right.
I don't know. I'm here man, I no, no, I
don't like what you've done to our listeners. There we go.
I don't like how you've strong the listeners along.
Speaker 2 (33:52):
This ain't on me. It's on you. It's on the
under guy as much as anybody else. No, no, no, no,
this ain't on me.
Speaker 1 (33:58):
You came in here.
Speaker 2 (34:00):
I gave and for like sherry, three hundred dollars for
a party bus. I treat our listeners like they're my own.
Speaker 1 (34:07):
You do. You've dropped Cappy on his head.
Speaker 2 (34:11):
I love that man like he's a brother. I pushed
him all over Nashville. Don't say I'm not there for
our listeners. That's true, that old guy from Florida. You've
you've been nice to him too, Joe. Yeah, you've been
nice to the listeners, but you've also strung the listeners
along because you came on here.
Speaker 1 (34:30):
You've been on the Facebook page and you've been begging them.
You've been wreaking of desperation.
Speaker 2 (34:37):
Hey, vote for Piper, Vote for Piper. Hey, Piper's gonna
win this contest. Piper's gonna, you know, win me twenty
thousand dollars and being a cat magazine, I just need
you to vote fifty times per day. And we heard
about this Piper contest for a month and oh, Piper's
(34:59):
moved up to third third place. Help me get Piper
to the next round.
Speaker 1 (35:05):
And then it's radio silent.
Speaker 2 (35:09):
And I I and at this outset. I said, Ray,
that's not a real contest. Piper has zero shot of winning.
And you were like, I may have paid fifty dollars
to get extra Piper votes yesterday, and I said, you're
just wasting your money.
Speaker 1 (35:23):
There is no shot for Piper to win. Those contests
aren't real. I tried to explain it to you, but
you kept begging and pleading and voting and posting on
the Facebook page and on the Instagram story.
Speaker 2 (35:36):
Hey go vote for Piper. Get to your point, Piper
for President? Ray, What the hell happened to Piper? Did
Piper win?
Speaker 1 (35:45):
Yeah? We got got Yeah.
Speaker 2 (35:48):
They pulled the old wool in front of our eyes,
ma'am pulled the rug.
Speaker 1 (35:52):
It was a scam. It was a weird it was
It wasn't a scam.
Speaker 2 (35:57):
It was just a way for them to make money
for animal charities, which is great. I paid seventy five
dollars and three different transactions, all on Friday.
Speaker 1 (36:04):
Nights, after a couple of beers.
Speaker 2 (36:07):
It had Jenny McCarthy and I believe it. I believe
it was Jenny McCarthy, So it was legit. But the
way they get you is it's a huge it's a
Ponzi scheme. It's a huge Facebook thing. And they say, hey,
keep the voting up until Friday. You want to be
top three, and so you're perfect, top three.
Speaker 1 (36:26):
In the nation. Holy crap, I'm about to win money.
Then they say your top three in your group, and
then the next week keep voting, You'll be top three.
Holy crap, top three in the world.
Speaker 2 (36:38):
Top three in your county. Then after that it's top
three in your city, top three in your state, top three.
Speaker 1 (36:47):
In the name.
Speaker 2 (36:48):
We never made it even to state. She was top
three three times, and I don't think she made it
out of a.
Speaker 1 (36:55):
Like. It was like a went. It went from group
to like. It was never county, it was like.
Speaker 2 (37:01):
Area area, and then it was network that was bro
So it was just this huge network, a huge web
of all these people trying to get their pets into
the top three, all the while you're thinking, your cat
dog is pretty cat. I believe it was was pretty
close to top three. It must have gone on for months.
(37:22):
They keep stringing these people along and then finally there's
some top three. But yeah, Piper lost out. She was
top five and Baser said it's done.
Speaker 1 (37:29):
We're not doing anymore.
Speaker 2 (37:31):
It's not a scam, but it's pretty dang close she was.
She was like top three on our street.
Speaker 1 (37:41):
I got a scam. That is seventy five dollars, dude, Yes,
And they got seventy five dollars from you. They got
probably hundreds of dollars from other people. And that's why
I tried to I'm sad that Piper lost. I'm sorry
for your loss. Man. I was cheering for you guys
from the sidelines. I never voted. I refused to vote,
but I just wanted to give an update because people
(38:02):
have been saying, did Piper win. We've gotten email after
email after email saying, hey, is Piper a champion? Where
can I get that Piper magazine? Yeah, And I didn't
know the answer.
Speaker 2 (38:14):
The final straw was when we saw you would scroll down,
it would say in your let's just say region, even
though that's not the terminology they used. They used other
stuff that always made you think you were closer, and
so me and Bains were like, holy crap, this is
actually winding down. And then we scrolled down and there
was only x'es through twenty of the cats, and there
(38:35):
was like ninety of them, and then that was your
specific but we didn't know what was after region, Like
after region, what was that territory? Then after that it
was combined actual regional states. Then it was your nation,
then it was your world, then it was your globe,
then it was your Earth universe, milky Way.
Speaker 1 (38:53):
It kept going.
Speaker 2 (38:55):
They got us for like three straight weeks though, because
I made three separate payments, three separate weeks, A fifty,
a thirty or a.
Speaker 1 (39:03):
I think he was all twenty five's that's why I
feel bad for people.
Speaker 2 (39:07):
But he definitely gets older people on Facebook when I
went to a charity. So that's why it's not one
hundred percent scam, but damn it's close.
Speaker 1 (39:16):
It feels so gross and so dirty. And that's why
I never participate in those voting things because I don't
believe they're ever real and I don't think you can
ever really win, And so that's why I want to apologize.
I don't know the guy's name, but his wife and
him listen to the pod and she loves the Chicago
Cubs and she was up for some vote for her
(39:37):
and she can be the teacher of this. And I
just immediately said, man, that's the same thing that happened
to Piper. They're going to string these poor people along,
acting like she's up for some award in some magazine
when she's never gonna win that award. And so I
never repost those because I repost one, I got to
repost all of them, and I got to buy into
(39:59):
this scheme, this Ponzi scheme, this scam that is the
stupid voting things that there is no real winner, multi
level marketing, multi level marketing.
Speaker 2 (40:10):
Oh look, my kid has a chance to be the
Oreo Dipper, Like, no, that's not real, guys, I just
can't help but know so to that the sore Losers
that his wife was up with the teacher thing.
Speaker 1 (40:25):
Let me know she won, let me know she advanced
to the next round. Did you ever get to the
end and realize, man, this is a Ponzi scheme that
I just got taken to the cleaners and that it
was never gonna happen. Or did she really win? Because
maybe that.
Speaker 2 (40:38):
Was a real award at your school, But when it's
one of these on the internet, Oh I nominated my cat,
my dog, my neighbor, they're just not real. But sore
Losers fantasy is one hundred percent real, one hundred percent real,
except for the year you snuck your dad and chest
ay in. That was one year. That was one year relaxed,
and it was with the other guy. So I mean,
(40:58):
those were already muddied waters.
Speaker 1 (41:00):
But they at least fill out a lineup every week,
you know, you you let other people and they don't
fill out of the line up. At least they care
and they're passionate about it.
Speaker 2 (41:08):
Well, and see we've already kind of screwed up on that.
People have brought up great points. On the cruise, they
said we should have given out a couple of golden
tickets for people to join the fantasy football.
Speaker 1 (41:18):
Why would we? I don't know. That wasn't our cruise.
I had a couple of martinis.
Speaker 2 (41:22):
But also they said, when we do the convention, we
should give out a couple golden tickets.
Speaker 1 (41:26):
That is true, That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (41:27):
We've missed out on a couple because bro in one
of the it was Batter's Box division, there was like
eleven women and seven of them checked their team there.
Speaker 1 (41:36):
That that is true. We should at some point if
you buy a ticket to the convention, your inner you get.
One of the people at the convention is automatically drawn
into the league. That's genius. Whoever came up with that idea.
Speaker 2 (41:48):
You'll never make a dollar, But we stole the ip
to that idea, and it's gene You didn't come up
with it. What it was the listeners, they said it
was probably the Saint Louis couple, and they go, hey,
really yeah, they're like you you should.
Speaker 1 (42:00):
Just announce it.
Speaker 2 (42:00):
Hey, if you came here, you're going to do a
drawing couple people making it into fantasy football for coming
to our stupid live podcast.
Speaker 1 (42:07):
It could have been Randy a tour, but I don't
think he's that smart, and I don't think he could
have come up with that. Cappy No, definitely not Cappy.
Who else could it have been? You don't think? No, No,
it it wasn't Callaway for sure. For sure wasn't Callaway.
It could have been day Ones. They're pretty smart. Yeah,
it's not Jesse Calderon. No, he couldn't have done it.
(42:28):
I don't know. I don't know, but I got an email. Ray.
Your solo podcast was great. I love the investing segment.
I'm glad you did it. You guys need to get nastier? Amit?
Don't be a pe? Lunch? What? Thanks? Craig.
Speaker 2 (42:43):
Yeah, we're the only ones that don't swear. I listen
to all these other podcasts.
Speaker 1 (42:46):
Do they just rip? But I don't know what I'm
being a pee for? How am I being a pe?
I was sick. There's nothing I can do about it.
I tried to come back on Wednesday and was sold. No,
it wasn't like I wasn't trying to be I was
trying to be here, but I don't. I don't think
you realize.
Speaker 2 (43:04):
But also the we should swear more because if you
watch a TV show, you don't realize how much they're swearing.
I just think it holds us back from saying how
we truly feel about things. When you're like, h, I
don't you just say an F word because then that'll
help you get to your next thought.
Speaker 1 (43:20):
Okay, when we come back from this commercial break, I'm
gonna start cussing over and over again. We'll be right back.
You may have to do this one on your own. Hey,
what the are you doing this weekend? Are you getting nothing?
Speaker 2 (43:32):
It's gonna be Me Bazer and Gin Piper and hopefully
there's no storms because it scared us out of us.
And then we have a We do have a church
gathering on Sunday. The nephew is doing something at the
Catholic church, so looking forward to that. It's a huge
day in a Catholic boy's life. So I'm kind of
new to that, so that'll be interesting. But it's just
(43:54):
a totally chill, relaxing weekend because I believe it's iHeart
and a couple weekends, which means I'm going to Charleston.
So we're going out for that airbnb, couple good restaurants,
making sure the Airbnb checks out seeing where we are
address wise? Are we shopping? Are we gonna do a
beach day? Are we gonna meet up with our friend Katie?
She's always a vibe. So there's some things that need
(44:14):
to be sorted out. But yeah, dude, we're I love it.
We're wide open.
Speaker 1 (44:18):
Yeah. Well, let me tell you what I got. I
got baseball game tomorrow at ten am, another baseball game
at eleven thirty am, and then the other baseball game
at twelve pm. So that's my day tomorrow. There you go.
All right, man, that's what I'm gonna be doing, man,
And I'm gonna go see Shaanon Gillis tonight down at
the Bridge Stone, man. But make it a good goodbye. Hey,
(44:40):
you guys have a great weekend. We're out here, and.
Speaker 2 (44:42):
Uh, I don't know what was that.
Speaker 1 (44:48):
I thought we were gonna do like a real nice goodbye? Dude,
did you really? And when he texted me he had
to go to the bathroom, he really had to go
to the bathroom. That's awkward. Uh, yeah, you guys, have
a great weekend, and let me see if I got
any other emails I want to read. Ah man, So
to all our friends out there, you know what I mean.
(45:08):
Be safe, be kind, be loving. I don't know what
the heck that says. I don't know. I don't know
what goodbye he wanted me to do.
Speaker 2 (45:20):
But yeah, yep, all right, here we go.
Speaker 1 (45:33):
Yeah where did he go? He really went to the bathroom.
I thought he was joking. All right, bye, guys, I
gotta walk over. That's why I'm stalling, because I gotta
walk over to this Mike, thanks for listening. Hopefully that
was a good one.
I love it starting the show right off. Huh.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
And so we are on a country morning show, and
then this is our spinoff.
Speaker 1 (00:12):
We have a podcast, h going back to the good
old days, the good old days.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
And I'm gonna do this. I actually want to. So
I've been listening to some other other podcasts. Oh and
there's a couple of things I want to do with
sounds that I want to bring to this. And then
I think, and then we need a goodbye because some
of these podcasts I've been listening to, if it's a
memorable goodbye, it leaves people like, dang.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
What are they going to do? Man?
Speaker 2 (00:40):
Oh, my friends are leaving you and me, just don't
ever say goodbye. We just like hang up the phone.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
No we don't. We say that's kind of hanging up
the phone.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
It's just rude, Like I don't I hate that sound.
We do a sound people hate, like we need to
leave people like damn. Like truckers are sitting in their
truck and they're like, damn, friends are leaving me. Man,
all right, let's go find a lizard. We leave them
with er and then don't even say you buy and
hang up on them.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
Yeah, the HR people are like, man, my friends are leaving,
Let's go find someone doing something salacious at our office.
Let's go see if Rabel and Russini are around here.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
Hell of a segue, man, And you guys don't know this.
This is little inside baseball. We actually recorded that episode
days ahead of time, and in that episode earlier this week,
I said she was gonna get fired, and I said,
if Rabel goes oh for four, he's gonna get fired.
So I actually predicted her getting fired.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
She didn't get fired, she.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
Was resigned before it happened. Correct, So, but you guys
wouldn't know that. That's a little inside baseball. But I'm
never right. Let's not change that narrative. Guys, don't let
the facts get in the way of the truth. Don't
let the truth get in the way of your opinion.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
Le's going nowhere if they go, oh, it doesn't matter.
Him sleeping with a reporter does not affected his job
whatever at all. The reporter sleeping with the coach to
get information, that is a conflict of interest. The coach
he ain't getting information from her. What's he gonna get? Oh,
(02:13):
while they're in bed? So what did you say? The
bills are gonna run the bills, are gonna run the
slot XO. Oh okay, thank you Honey.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
Well and Klay Travis wrote an amazing piece do you
yes on this? And he gonna kick the coverage and
he basically said, what what we learn about the contracts
and coaches and player trades is always gonna come out
in the news, regardless of an insider. An insider just
gets it to us about an hour early or something,
but it's always gonna come out because it has to.
(02:43):
And he goes, so basically, the insider, we're not repeating
this episode. So he goes, basically, the insider is sucking
up to get us information an hour early. We're fine,
we don't need the insiders. Just let it come out
in the news.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
I agree with you, like the fact that Adam Schefter
is so busy with two or three cell phones and
is always on them trying to get inside information. Literally,
it is going to come out at some point on
a newswire, newswire something is gonna Oh there's a trade
(03:17):
going down. Oh, I'm getting worried. There's a trade. If
you would just wait five minutes at the draft, they
would announce.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
It when they go to the podium, and they're legally
supposed you can't just secretly have a player come to
your team. They have to tell the press, they have
to tell people. So it was gonna come in a
newspaper form or on a website or at a PR
site for the NFL. Eventually you're just getting it from
the Russinis an hour early. Yeah, but there's one where
they did the quote, so like, I guess Russini got
(03:46):
literal quotes from a coach one time. And they're like,
how did she get actual quotes from a coach and
a player secretly? Like nobody else had this, And it
was showing how she got quote on quote and they're like,
how did she get this information? They're pulling up old
tweets that she's done.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Well. I saw Michelle Beadle. She had an interesting angle
on it. She was like, you guys need to back
off Russini. All these other female reporters, you know, gloating
in her like demise and whatever happened. She goes, I
know about you too, and I will write a book
one day, so I would keep your mouth shut. She goes, look,
I made my mistakes, but luckily I did it before
(04:27):
social media was big. Luckily I didn't you know, and
she was like, so I've done it too. She didn't
say what she'd done, but she insinuated that she had
made mistakes in that realm of her career. And she
was yelling at all the other women reporters that were
coming after Russini, saying, listen, I will write a book
one day. So I am taking note of everybody that
(04:50):
is saying something, and I will spill your secrets because
I know what you've done too. And I'm like, dang, girl,
I love the people that go after each other.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
The Chicken Fry, Alex Earl and Alex Cooper go at
it girls.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
But Chicken Fry and Cooper were together, right, they were
what that podcast?
Speaker 2 (05:09):
Oh my gosh, no, no, you're not gonna want me
to explain this because the truckers don't even know. No, no, no,
Chicken Fry in this other large girl had a podcast together. Okay,
Chicken Fry and the large girl broke up, got it?
So then the large girl went to Alex Cooper's podcast network.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
Got it?
Speaker 2 (05:30):
But wait, that's why Chicken Fry hates Alex Coop. Cooper
and then Alex Earl used to be on the same
network as Alex Cooper and they had a falling out.
We're still trying to figure out that falling out, and
so now they don't like each other.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Got it?
Speaker 2 (05:42):
But who was Alice Cooper with Alex Cooper? Did it
with some other girl that just disappeared that she fell
out with?
Speaker 1 (05:50):
Yeah, and so what is that other girl doing? She
started a podcast? Is it working?
Speaker 2 (05:55):
They were amazing together on Caller Daddy. If you listen
to early episodes of our show, we were all over it.
It was a great show. But no, it's neither one
is what it used to be together.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
Take note of that. Dang. Oh interesting, right, well, crap,
I was about to tell you that I'm about to
go do a podcast with pits Man. Yeah, that falling out.
You know when you tell me, oh, I want to
do this long and I want this many commercial breaks,
you're very demanding and it's really getting on my nerves.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Oh yeah, it was very demanding when I told you, Hey,
I know you're sick. We need to do a podcast
for the commercials. I couldn't do one, but I got
I gotta prop to everybody on that one. They're all
over us. When we're on vacation. But I mean, if
that wasn't for me, commercials would have missed. There would
(06:42):
have been missing inventory, and I guarantee you the bottom
line would have been affected. But that was me taking
it upon myself.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
Hey, I appreciate you stepping up for the brand. I
understand it. It's very hard to step up for the brand.
Every once in a while when I miraculously get sick
for an entire week, I can't help that. That is nature.
Nature took its course. Nature got in my body. Nature
messed with me, and nature was saying, hey, you need
to slow down a little bit.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
And I appreciate you having my back and doing one pod.
And yes, you needed to slow it down a lot
of bit. I've been telling you or you're done with
the soccer stuff. If your body hasn't told you now
you know you know no, no, I'm not done with
the soccer stuff. That and it's the stuff. I love
your involvement with the kids. Pull back a little bit, man.
(07:29):
You don't have to go riding bikes at nine pm
when it's sixty degrees out.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
The other day you rode your bike to work. Yeah,
drive a car riding your bike to work is good.
It gets the blood flowing in the morning, get you
kind of like, wow, I'm awake. It makes you feel good.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
There's no award at the end of the rainbow for
best dad in the world. No, no, I never said
I was best dad. I'm just saying it's just being active.
I'd like to be active. I don't like I'm not
good at sitting around. But I'm saying I get antsy.
If your kids are a little sniffley and I'm not
feeling good, you don't got to play catch with him.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
It's okay.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
You can take a day off of playing soccer with
the kids.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
So what you're saying is I shouldn't give them a
hug when they're sniffley. Hey, guys, stay on the other
side of the room.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
Me and Bazel. It's if one of us is sick up,
She's going to the girl cave. I'm going to the
main cave. So who takes Pablo Piper? Piper, Piper just
takes care of herself.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
It's a cat, I don't know, But who does does
Piper pick sides in that? Does Piper go to your
room or Baser's room? Baser?
Speaker 2 (08:33):
And also, I mean dude, my own nephew almost didn't
go to our wedding because of COVID. So I mean,
sometimes you get like your kids, if they're sick, put
them in a room.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
I understand that, right, No, I get it, I should
stick them in a room. I'm not saying put them
in a cage. I know you're just saying put them
in a room. Totally understand.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
I don't want to be involved, Dad, I get it,
and I messed up, and so I appreciate it. I mean,
I don't want to go Alex Earl, Alex Cooper Route,
Alex Chicken Fry.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
I don't want to do that.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
And then everybody's waiting for Alex Earl to speak up,
because alec Earl says, wait till my time in the sun.
I got stuff to say, and people are like, it's
sonny out, what do you have to say?
Speaker 1 (09:13):
Question? Do people really care? No?
Speaker 2 (09:15):
But I'm it's it's fun watching other people fight, because guys,
how pointless is that on this earth?
Speaker 1 (09:21):
That fight?
Speaker 2 (09:22):
In the realm of thing grand scheme, It doesn't matter.
They're doing it for just a small percentage of people
that care. It's making them look like bad people. It
was probably over a dude. But it's not even a
fight because they haven't said anything. Well, all they said
is I'm mad at you. They don't say why, so
what is the fight. That's what I'm like. If there
was actual drama where it's like, because you did this, this,
(09:45):
this and this, and you had some bullet points, I
get being interested. But if I just went on the
internet and I said, hey, I'm mad at Susan ray Mundo,
that's it. Well, that is no drama because no one
knows why. Right, But what we're learning is there's there's
really no time for drama. The fact that they've wasted
(10:06):
now two weeks of their own lives with this drama.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
You're never getting those back. But yeah, yeah, I really
don't care.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
I mean in that's it's they've slept with each other's
dudes and it got a little messy.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
That'd be awesome, that.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Right, show me it, tell me it, let me hear it.
It's going to be a contract thing. She felt like
she was screwed out of some money or that she
was tricked at a young age. Alex Earl because she
was just out of college when she signed her podcast
deal with Hot Mess, So maybe it was something like
that contract type stuff or but they're both like And
also when I watched it, I watched their first podcast,
it felt like Alex Cooper was getting the older woman
(10:41):
and she's now looking at her younger self Alex Earl,
so she was for sure jealous, but she was like, Hey,
how do you do this? So what do you do
with that? Alex Cooper was like, Oh, let me pick
up a couple of tricks.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
Man, I'm an old lady. Huh man, Uh, you want
to talk about kids, sports or do you want to
talk more about Alex Earl and Alex dB Cooper?
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Well, dB Cooper, Man, that's one for another day.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
Yeah, what's your theory on that? Man? I don't care.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
We gotta do it live, potty potty, all right, We're
gonna do it live.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
We ah the one two three? So loser? What up? Everybody?
I am lunchbox. I know the most about sports. I
give you the sports facts, my sports opinions because I'm
pretty much a sports genius, y'all.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
It is sizzing from the North Alpha Male Live on
the North side of Nashville. Bazer two point three acres
just got Mode Furt and the dirt.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
Didn't have to pay for the dandelion spray.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
Absolutely amazing, love Jose for that is honesty, genuine guy.
And he said I don't want the money. He said
it in Spanish and he said, I'll do in the fall.
I'm not taking your money. I'm not taking your pesos.
Thank you very much. Jose yard looks great, especially after
that storm last night.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
More rain in the.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Dirt, Furt and the dirt is now really in the dirt. Man,
It's great be in Nashville, Tennessee.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
Over to you. I didn't see that storm coming. Did
that pop up out of nowhere?
Speaker 2 (12:05):
I got to tell you, being the weather man that
I am. Caught me by surprise with my pants down
as well.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
Yeah. Literally, yeah, we did a bad job because we
had the art show last night at the kid's school.
The painting's now blank. Well now the art shows where
you go, and I thought it was gonna we were
gonna see the art that they have been working on
all year, every piece of art they've done. Dad. I
taped the banana to the wall and it was from
five to six pm, so I was like, man, we
(12:31):
got to get there early. We got to get there
right at five that way we can see all the art.
We can walk the whole school, see everything they've done. Dude,
what is your kid? Get banksy? Well, there's two kids
going to one school. They've been in school for the
last since August and now it is April. So that's
a lot of months if you do the math. Not
gonna do it in my head, but it's about twelve months.
(12:53):
So I go and you know what they have. They
have one piece of art that you look at, Mom,
Can I draw you like a French girl? So the
kindergarteners they have a self portrait where they drew their face,
and then they have their brain that's open, and they
drew a bunch of little pictures in their brain what's
on their mind? And I was like, oh, that's cool.
And my kindergarten I walked up and I was like, dude,
(13:16):
I found yours baby box two. I found yours because
it had his name in the brain. He goes, that's
not mine, Dad, What do you mean it's not yours?
He goes, mine's right there. Oh, and then here comes
this chick walking up. She goes, look, here's mine. She's
the one that has my son's name on her brain.
(13:36):
Oh she wants him. She wants him, I guess. I
mean she runs up gives them a big old hug,
but there's his name all across her brain. And I
was like, what's going on here? And her parents were
quite embarrassed.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
I'm shocked they actually drew it. Figured AI would now.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
No, No, they drew it. And then my son, my
first grader, baby box one. You go to the first
grade section and they made ice cream Sundays. What the picasso? Yeah,
so they cut out some circles of different colors, put
them on there, put a little dullop of white whipcreen
on there, and then put a red cherry on top.
(14:11):
And that was their big art project for the year.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
I was gonna say two things were lacking on this country.
Soccer were horrible as a country at soccer. And paintings
in art. Italy kills us every year, year after year,
all of it's over there, not here. You ever seen
a kid paint storry night? I don't think so that
was Vincent Bango.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
No, I've never seen it, and I didn't see it
last night. And so that was the end of the art.
Show was one piece of art per person, And I
was like wow. So then I had to go to
an event. It was a charity event for kid Power,
and my wife stayed at the school that the kids
play outside, and then they I guess they went to dinner.
(14:50):
And the only problem is we left the dog in
the backyard. Ruh, No, what happened last night? It escaped? No,
the storm blew in.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
Roof the storm blew in, and we didn't know the
storm was coming. The dog was in the backyard and
so he was out there in the middle of the storm.
I guess he started freaking out and he was able
to knock the back door open. He came inside. But
the bad news is the back door was open, it
(15:22):
was stormy. There was a puddle of water by the
back door when they got home from dinner. Woo, I mean,
who stole my lightning strike sound effect?
Speaker 1 (15:33):
We had no idea that storm was coming. We wouldn't
have left the dog in the backyard.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
The back door would not have been able to be
knocked open, and we wouldn't have a water all over
the back of the house.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
What was that? They just played? Do you hear it? No?
I didn't. I did hear it, But I don't know
what that was. I don't know what that is, says
lightning straight It sound lightning.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
Well, the storm was apparently in certain parts it blew
over stuffing Green Hills. There was tons of water inside
the parking garage. So I think it hit this skyscraper
from the north southwest and then by us.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
The trees, I mean they were a good thing they're
limber because they were almost horizontal.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
Yeah. I mean I got a check from Scuba saying, hey,
what's the weather's guy's twitter? I need to follow him.
I need to know what's going on. And then we
got a message from Baby Box three school the transformer
was knocked down, no electricity. They would try to have
it fixed by the morning. Here we are Friday morning.
They sent us a message still no electricity, pre K canceled. Man.
(16:37):
So he's got the day off today, man.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
And it also makes me appreciate our job because the
storm and everything, it just it weirded me out. I
didn't because I didn't know about it, so I really
didn't have a chance to see it coming along, see
the damage it did. In other places, it didn't do
any damage. It was just a lot of leaves down,
a lot of rain. Yeah, when you know. I brought
the American flag in.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
Baby box two, baby box three bikes absolutely drenched, left
out in the rain.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
Chairs, whipped a little bit, not enough to go fully
off the patio so that you're.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
Able to know the speed.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
It never knocks over my golf ball basket though, it's
almost like the wind goes through the golf balls. It's
crazy how the wind is, but it'll knock everything else
over except for those golf balls.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
It's those dimples, man, The dimples make the difference.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
That's wild, and so they I fell asleep in my
sweatshirt long story short, and I woke up and came
to work in the same sweatshirt.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
I was like, storm hit, no need to change. Let's
just sleep in our stuff and then go to work
in the same stuff.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
Really, that's really deep man.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
And Beezer came in, Oh, you don't even have the
fan on. Do you just fall asleep to the storm?
Speaker 1 (17:39):
I kind of did. It was actually soothing. I didn't
realize how bad it had stormed until I got out
of the charity event because it was in a big,
old blue room and I couldn't hear the I heard
the little bit of rain but then I got outside
and I'm like, whoa, there's leaves everywhere, there's puddles everywhere.
It must have really come down.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
Yeah, and her parents they're in a different city than us,
and her mom acted like it was a tornado. Tornadic
that's what Scuba was nervous, that's what I'm saying. And
I was like, it really wasn't tornado level threat. But
there was lightning, not really a lot of thunder. And
then the rain.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
There was big drops of rain in the wind, maybe
forty miles an hour.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
But I was out in it. I want to feel it.
That's how I'm able to really judge it. So I
knew it wasn't a threat.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
Went to bed good, and we'll take a break and
we'll be right back. You know, I don't want to
be that dad. I don't want to be that dad
in youth sports. But I'm becoming that dad in youth
sports because my oldest one, baby Box, he's on a
baseball team. It's coach pitch. We're learning the game of baseball.
(18:45):
He's loving the game of baseball. But game number one,
show up, look at the lineup, and they got him
batting last.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
Okay, okay, sounds like me at the celebrity softball game. Thanks,
I'll never come back. Always love hitting fifteenth. Didn't even
know that was possible.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
And they and they just at this age, they just
they just stuck him in the left field.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
Oh Caine Brown won Louren away to fourteen. Fifteen is
some girl named Sarah. Sixteen is the dog that's also
a bad dog. Seventeen is me?
Speaker 1 (19:21):
All right? Great, I will never come back to your
celebrity softball game. Thanks for having me. Cool. That first
game he gets up, he only gets about one time.
He strikes out, plays in left field. The entire game.
Not one ball goes to the left field because they
can't hit it that far in this show.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
Yeah, all right, cool, I'm thinking, you know, every inning
you'll switch positions, you know what I mean, move them around,
get some more playing time.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
No, no, yeah, just stuck in left field. Okay, all right,
that's cool. All right, Second game, new week, new week.
All right, here we go, here we go. Let's check
that batting order. Maybe box maybox batting last? Why is
he small? Is he not a good bunter? I'm not sure.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
I'm not sure, right because he's got my last name No,
I mean maybe it may be there's maybe there's animosity.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
I don't know. I don't know. You're telling me it's
politics already at that age, and yeah, there's politics everywhere. Man.
It never stopped.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
I know.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
It starts a T ball when you request to be
the Cubs. You're the first coach to request the Cubs,
and you don't get the Cubs.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
Now it starts at the fast food line. Hi, I'll
take some French fries. You mean American fries. Yes, freedom fries.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
That's what I want. So I want some freedom toast, please,
freedom toast on top.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
Yes, I'll take an American muffin opposed to an English.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
Muffin, Thank you very much. Anyway, he's batting last. Again,
I'm like, I don't really understand this. And he strikes
out two times. He bats twice, strikes out twice. So
now we have two games in three strikeouts, and I'm
feeling guilty.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
One more is the sombrero. Four strikeouts? Is the golden sombrero.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
Yeah, And I'm feeling guilty now because we went and
got a new bat because he is he's had the
same bat since T ball, so three years ago he
got a bat and he's a little bit bigger. Now
it's tying to get a bigger bat. Where'd you guys go, Dick, No,
we played against sports. Go get a used bat. We
don't need a brand new bat. We need a fifteen
(21:26):
dollars bat. And I feel like I got him a
bat that's a little too heavy. That's on you. I
know it was on me. But I tried to get
him to get the twenty six inch which was a
few ounces lighter. Swing it better. He's like, no, Dad,
I really like this bat. I really like this bat.
And me, being the pushover dad I am, I let
him get the twenty seven inch er and I feel
(21:47):
like he's just a little slow getting that bat around.
It's all about bat speed. It's all about bat speed.
And I keep trying to tell him. So we haven't
got a hit, and I'm like, hey, Bud, why don't
why don't we try a lighter bat. Why don't we
try your brother's bat? No, no, Dad, it's not a
good bat. And I'm like, well, let's just try and
we go out and get a bucket of balls and whack, whack, whack.
(22:09):
He's hitting it with the brother's bat, and then he goes, Dad,
this bat's no good, tosses its side, picks up his bat,
swinging a miss, swinging a miss, swinging a miss, winging
a miss. And I'm like, oh man, oh man. He's like, see,
I'm just so much better with this bat. I said,
do you you do understand the object of this game
(22:32):
when you're standing up there is to hit the ball
in front of you, not behind you. Yeah, Dad, I'm
just this bat, is it? This is the bat? All right? Man?
All right? Cool? Cool, cool. So let's go to the
third game. We show up to the third game. He's
batting last again. Tough to see. Yeah, I hate to
(22:54):
see it. I hate to see it. But there's a run.
How do you know?
Speaker 2 (22:59):
Do you peak around the dugout and see the lineup?
Speaker 1 (23:01):
Hung up? No? No, no, I just once they start the game,
I start realizing, okay, that's number eight hit here, wats
to get play out? I'm watching it play out in
real time. Honey, what are we own? Six nine? Damn it? Man,
Well it's been it's been two and a half innings.
He hadn't bad it. Yeah, this isn't a good sign. Okay,
he'll get up eventually, but I will say, he's playing
(23:25):
third base. And they finally started moving positions. They started
every inning switching positions, letting him play all the positions
every player.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
That's great, way to go, coach. And he's playing third base,
Good on you, coach. And it's first and second. This
guy hits a piss rod one hopper right to him.
He gets right in front of it, boom in the glove,
jogs it over to third, steps on the bag, gets out.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
What is he? Troy Tulowitzki and I was like, okay,
Nolan Aronado, you know what I mean, Look at that
glove flashing the leather down there at third. Good play.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
Alex Rodriguez and Jeter moved a short Okay, Scott roll
over there.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
Yeah, we really like the way you're you're digging that
ball out of the dirt. Hell play, Vinnie cass you oh,
wait to go, Chris Sabo, you know what I'm saying.
I just amazing. I'm all right. Ever we go, Matt Williams,
what do you say now? Good play? Max Muncie. Does
he play first?
Speaker 2 (24:16):
Yeah, he plays first, Podgers plays outfield.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
I think Matt Williams played third. I may play Mookie
when they move him. Over to third. Good player, Ramis Ramirez.
You know what I'm saying down there a third good
pick anyway, So he comes up. You think I'm watching
what guys play in the field.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
I just watch if they get a hit for beat
the Street, and I don't give a crap where they
play in the field. Way to go, Waite bolls Hey,
way to pick it, Yeah, bagpipes, Jeff Bagwell, he didn't.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
Play third first. Yeah he may. He may he moved
to first. I don't. Maybe he didn't start at first,
but I know he played first. Anyway, he comes to
the plate, he strikes out, comes to play later on
the game, he strikes out, golden sombrero. Hate to see it. Yeah,
we're there's many games in. He ain't got to hit.
(25:08):
It's three games in. He's striking out every time. And
now I will say, I will say the pitching on
the team is not the best. Tell him to use
abs challenge that. I will say the pitching is not
the best on the team. But I still think it's
the bat. And so I say, hey, man, bring me
the bat. I'll bring you the bats. You can throw
it over the balcony.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
No, I want to see if we can hit with it.
We still strike out with it. So yeah, we gotta
get a piece of paper, you, me and mckittion and
see if anybody can hit with the kid's bat.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
You and me are striking out and crap. We're like,
I don't know if it's the bat or we just
our back herds. We can't swing it as fast. And
I tell him, I say, hey, Bud, I really think
it's the bat. You're not getting through there quick enough.
You gotta gotta it's gotta be because I'll just swing harder.
Tell your son I went with a woman's putter. He goes,
(26:00):
I'll swing harder, and I'm like, it's not about swinging harder,
it's quicker, way quicker. He's like, no, Dad, I'm good.
I'm good with the bat. All right, cool, cool. So
last Saturday, Baby Box two has a game early in
the morning and Babybox one has one later in the afternoon.
So in between games, he's like, Dak, can we hit balls?
(26:21):
So we hit three buckets of balls and he's whack, whack, whack,
He's hitting it, and I'm like, okay, we got this.
We got this. We go into the game last Saturday.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
Because you guys practiced, Well, we've been pic We practiced
every week right in the yard and we go to
the park.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
We go everywhere. So you can just play a park
with hard balls. Yeah, you just go out in the
grass and where there's no people and just hit. There's
a school. You can go play in the field at
the school after school gets out until you put out windows. Well,
we don't go near the school.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
But you gotta have a home run fence. That's true,
so he knows how far you hit it. So we
go into the game last week and the coach has
this big speech before the game. He's like, hey, guys,
just so you know, I changed up the batting order
and that way more you know, some of you have
more opportunities to get up there at the plate and
you know, hit the ball. And and I'm like, oh,
and you can hear him saying this, and I'm like, good,
(27:14):
he switched up the order.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
Let's go. Yeah, here we go. That's my boy. I'm like,
that's what I like to hear. Are you yelling? No? No, no, no, no,
you're quiet at the game. Got gotta be quiet. No,
want to put the pressure on the kids. I read
it in a parenting book. Uh No, I just think
the kids have a lot going on in their head,
and if you're yelling at them, it just adds to it,
adds the pressure of the stress things like that. So
(27:38):
you like yelling into your breath like you definitely like, yeah,
oh for sure. I am tense. I am tense inside.
I am it's eating me up. I feel bad for
him that he hadn't got a hit. And the coach
gives this big speech about how he's changed up the lineup,
you know everybody, you know, people are gonna have better
opportunity to contribute, and I'm like, that is what I'm
(27:58):
talking about. My sons still batting. Last is the coach
wearing a coach sweatshirt T shirt. You got to get
him one, and so, oh yeah, you're right.
Speaker 2 (28:10):
Shop forward soretlosers dot com.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
He switched up the lineup, alright. A lot of kids
bat in different places. Not my kid, my kid, Wow,
the entire city. Your kid bats nine. Yeah, and I'm
a little hurt. I'm a little hurt, but I'm not
going to be that dad that goes and says something right.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
But I mean, he's been striking out. So he proved
the coach. Well, let's not blame it all on my kid.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
Let's say let's say that it is coach pitch and
I would say our picture is not the best. Is
it underhand? No?
Speaker 2 (28:46):
Okay, so there is definitely some wiggle room in him
not being good, yes, and it being tough to hit off. Yes, yes,
And I mean I swear my dad would throw it
to us faster, like thanks dad.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
So he gets up there and you get five pitches.
Do the coaches pitch to both teams or just one?
You pitch your team, another coach pitches their team, like, okay,
is my dad?
Speaker 2 (29:08):
We would go and there'd be a woman coach and
she sucked so bad. Not sexist, just saying, and my
dad would pitch to both teams.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
Okay, I like that. It was like his thing. Yeah.
Well he was a professional pitcher, so he's pretty good.
So you get five pitches, but you get three strikes.
If you strike swing at three, you're out. Like I've
watched a game before. No, no, but this is I'm
just telling you how it works. Abs. Can they challenge?
No challenge. They got to tap the hat. They got it.
(29:37):
They get there's kids that they want to tap the hat.
But they don't. I mean one kid did to go
the other day. Well, I mean that was four balls
I should walk, And I was like, well that's not
how it works, man, you gotta hit the ball. So
he gets up that first played appearance. First pitch, swinging
a miss, second pitch swinging a miss. Still got one
more kid, And this is where I am tight wound up, like,
(30:02):
oh my gosh, what's gonna happen?
Speaker 2 (30:04):
You sure that ain't your testy. Next pitch he just
lets it go by. Perfect pitch, right down.
Speaker 1 (30:10):
The middle, good eye, right down the middle, right in
the wheelhouse. That should have been a smack. Next pitch,
he just watches it. It was inside, good eye, good eye.
But now we're down to the last pitch. No matter
where it is, you have to swing. Fifth pitch, got
a swing. Fifth pitch comes in. Foul ball, all right, staying.
Speaker 2 (30:33):
Alive so you can keep following them off. You can
keep following them off. Next pitch, foul ball. Okay, okay,
all right, all right, next pitch, foul ball, yes, go
Oh my gosh, you're right on him, kid, all right,
next pitch, your wife yelling at him. Nope, nope, Next pitch,
(30:59):
line between short and third base, hit base hit, and
I am feeling amazing. Which bat, the heavy bat, the
heavy bat, and the monkey is off his back. I'm
feeling great, and I'm like, all right, I cannot wait
till he gets up to bat again so I can see,
you know, maybe maybe this is the thing he needed to.
Speaker 1 (31:23):
Happen to feel his confidence. And now he's just gonna
rip the ball. What did he do? Did he pimp
it a little bit? Was he? No? No, he ran,
he just ran hard. The kids now they're slamming the bats. Yeah,
he's not a bat slammer because it was his first
end of the season. Don't pimp it, son, run it out.
It felt great, It felt great. Did he go to
the outfield? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (31:42):
Wow, I mean after the hop, but that's still good. Yeah,
and I'm feeling good. I'm feeling good, so I'm like,
all right, second time to play. Let's see, let's see
what happens.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
Oh wait, I never got to see him hit a
second time because he's batting last. Me. It's a softball game.
I batted like once.
Speaker 2 (31:59):
Thanks, Rick, really appreciate you put me on the celebrity
softball team as a one hit guy.
Speaker 1 (32:04):
Everybody else hit five times. So fifty five minutes into
the game, I had to leave because baby Box three
had a T ball game, so I didn't get to
hit him see him hit a second time because he's
still batting last in the lineup.
Speaker 2 (32:15):
That's why I beat the streak. You always picked the
leadoff guy, number nine hitter. You'll see him like three times.
Speaker 1 (32:20):
And so I immediately right when I get to the
T ball game, I text the wife and I say,
how did the second at back go? She was talking
and she goes, oh, fantastic, smacked it right back up
the middle. Two for two. Two for two, she goes,
and he got up a third time. He hit a
(32:40):
little dinker in front of the plate, got to first base.
It wasn't a great hit, but he made contact, and
I was just like wow. And he came to me
when he got to the T ball game, He's like, Dad, Dad,
did you see my first hit of the season. So
that lets me know he was keeping tracking his head.
He knew what was going on that he hadn't had
a hit. Wow, what a MENSA member. So three for
three feeling good. That's worthy of ice cream. So now
(33:05):
I don't want to be that dad. But tomorrow we
have a baseball game, hell of a tease, and my
son better not be bat and last. He better not
be bat and last for the fifth game in a row. Then.
I don't know if I talked to the coach or not,
but I will let you know on Monday.
Speaker 2 (33:24):
That is a hell of a build up that only
the best podcasts do. Will he bat last? That's the
question we'll find out tomorrow. We'll take a break.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
After the weekend break, and we'll be right back right.
I don't know. I'm here man, I no, no, I
don't like what you've done to our listeners. There we go.
I don't like how you've strong the listeners along.
Speaker 2 (33:52):
This ain't on me. It's on you. It's on the
under guy as much as anybody else. No, no, no, no,
this ain't on me.
Speaker 1 (33:58):
You came in here.
Speaker 2 (34:00):
I gave and for like sherry, three hundred dollars for
a party bus. I treat our listeners like they're my own.
Speaker 1 (34:07):
You do. You've dropped Cappy on his head.
Speaker 2 (34:11):
I love that man like he's a brother. I pushed
him all over Nashville. Don't say I'm not there for
our listeners. That's true, that old guy from Florida. You've
you've been nice to him too, Joe. Yeah, you've been
nice to the listeners, but you've also strung the listeners
along because you came on here.
Speaker 1 (34:30):
You've been on the Facebook page and you've been begging them.
You've been wreaking of desperation.
Speaker 2 (34:37):
Hey, vote for Piper, Vote for Piper. Hey, Piper's gonna
win this contest. Piper's gonna, you know, win me twenty
thousand dollars and being a cat magazine, I just need
you to vote fifty times per day. And we heard
about this Piper contest for a month and oh, Piper's
(34:59):
moved up to third third place. Help me get Piper
to the next round.
Speaker 1 (35:05):
And then it's radio silent.
Speaker 2 (35:09):
And I I and at this outset. I said, Ray,
that's not a real contest. Piper has zero shot of winning.
And you were like, I may have paid fifty dollars
to get extra Piper votes yesterday, and I said, you're
just wasting your money.
Speaker 1 (35:23):
There is no shot for Piper to win. Those contests
aren't real. I tried to explain it to you, but
you kept begging and pleading and voting and posting on
the Facebook page and on the Instagram story.
Speaker 2 (35:36):
Hey go vote for Piper. Get to your point, Piper
for President? Ray, What the hell happened to Piper? Did
Piper win?
Speaker 1 (35:45):
Yeah? We got got Yeah.
Speaker 2 (35:48):
They pulled the old wool in front of our eyes,
ma'am pulled the rug.
Speaker 1 (35:52):
It was a scam. It was a weird it was
It wasn't a scam.
Speaker 2 (35:57):
It was just a way for them to make money
for animal charities, which is great. I paid seventy five
dollars and three different transactions, all on Friday.
Speaker 1 (36:04):
Nights, after a couple of beers.
Speaker 2 (36:07):
It had Jenny McCarthy and I believe it. I believe
it was Jenny McCarthy, So it was legit. But the
way they get you is it's a huge it's a
Ponzi scheme. It's a huge Facebook thing. And they say, hey,
keep the voting up until Friday. You want to be
top three, and so you're perfect, top three.
Speaker 1 (36:26):
In the nation. Holy crap, I'm about to win money.
Then they say your top three in your group, and
then the next week keep voting, You'll be top three.
Holy crap, top three in the world.
Speaker 2 (36:38):
Top three in your county. Then after that it's top
three in your city, top three in your state, top three.
Speaker 1 (36:47):
In the name.
Speaker 2 (36:48):
We never made it even to state. She was top
three three times, and I don't think she made it
out of a.
Speaker 1 (36:55):
Like. It was like a went. It went from group
to like. It was never county, it was like.
Speaker 2 (37:01):
Area area, and then it was network that was bro
So it was just this huge network, a huge web
of all these people trying to get their pets into
the top three, all the while you're thinking, your cat
dog is pretty cat. I believe it was was pretty
close to top three. It must have gone on for months.
(37:22):
They keep stringing these people along and then finally there's
some top three. But yeah, Piper lost out. She was
top five and Baser said it's done.
Speaker 1 (37:29):
We're not doing anymore.
Speaker 2 (37:31):
It's not a scam, but it's pretty dang close she was.
She was like top three on our street.
Speaker 1 (37:41):
I got a scam. That is seventy five dollars, dude, Yes,
And they got seventy five dollars from you. They got
probably hundreds of dollars from other people. And that's why
I tried to I'm sad that Piper lost. I'm sorry
for your loss. Man. I was cheering for you guys
from the sidelines. I never voted. I refused to vote,
but I just wanted to give an update because people
(38:02):
have been saying, did Piper win. We've gotten email after
email after email saying, hey, is Piper a champion? Where
can I get that Piper magazine? Yeah, And I didn't
know the answer.
Speaker 2 (38:14):
The final straw was when we saw you would scroll down,
it would say in your let's just say region, even
though that's not the terminology they used. They used other
stuff that always made you think you were closer, and
so me and Bains were like, holy crap, this is
actually winding down. And then we scrolled down and there
was only x'es through twenty of the cats, and there
(38:35):
was like ninety of them, and then that was your
specific but we didn't know what was after region, Like
after region, what was that territory? Then after that it
was combined actual regional states. Then it was your nation,
then it was your world, then it was your globe,
then it was your Earth universe, milky Way.
Speaker 1 (38:53):
It kept going.
Speaker 2 (38:55):
They got us for like three straight weeks though, because
I made three separate payments, three separate weeks, A fifty,
a thirty or a.
Speaker 1 (39:03):
I think he was all twenty five's that's why I
feel bad for people.
Speaker 2 (39:07):
But he definitely gets older people on Facebook when I
went to a charity. So that's why it's not one
hundred percent scam, but damn it's close.
Speaker 1 (39:16):
It feels so gross and so dirty. And that's why
I never participate in those voting things because I don't
believe they're ever real and I don't think you can
ever really win, And so that's why I want to apologize.
I don't know the guy's name, but his wife and
him listen to the pod and she loves the Chicago
Cubs and she was up for some vote for her
(39:37):
and she can be the teacher of this. And I
just immediately said, man, that's the same thing that happened
to Piper. They're going to string these poor people along,
acting like she's up for some award in some magazine
when she's never gonna win that award. And so I
never repost those because I repost one, I got to
repost all of them, and I got to buy into
(39:59):
this scheme, this Ponzi scheme, this scam that is the
stupid voting things that there is no real winner, multi
level marketing, multi level marketing.
Speaker 2 (40:10):
Oh look, my kid has a chance to be the
Oreo Dipper, Like, no, that's not real, guys, I just
can't help but know so to that the sore Losers
that his wife was up with the teacher thing.
Speaker 1 (40:25):
Let me know she won, let me know she advanced
to the next round. Did you ever get to the
end and realize, man, this is a Ponzi scheme that
I just got taken to the cleaners and that it
was never gonna happen. Or did she really win? Because
maybe that.
Speaker 2 (40:38):
Was a real award at your school, But when it's
one of these on the internet, Oh I nominated my cat,
my dog, my neighbor, they're just not real. But sore
Losers fantasy is one hundred percent real, one hundred percent real,
except for the year you snuck your dad and chest
ay in. That was one year. That was one year relaxed,
and it was with the other guy. So I mean,
(40:58):
those were already muddied waters.
Speaker 1 (41:00):
But they at least fill out a lineup every week,
you know, you you let other people and they don't
fill out of the line up. At least they care
and they're passionate about it.
Speaker 2 (41:08):
Well, and see we've already kind of screwed up on that.
People have brought up great points. On the cruise, they
said we should have given out a couple of golden
tickets for people to join the fantasy football.
Speaker 1 (41:18):
Why would we? I don't know. That wasn't our cruise.
I had a couple of martinis.
Speaker 2 (41:22):
But also they said, when we do the convention, we
should give out a couple golden tickets.
Speaker 1 (41:26):
That is true, That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (41:27):
We've missed out on a couple because bro in one
of the it was Batter's Box division, there was like
eleven women and seven of them checked their team there.
Speaker 1 (41:36):
That that is true. We should at some point if
you buy a ticket to the convention, your inner you get.
One of the people at the convention is automatically drawn
into the league. That's genius. Whoever came up with that idea.
Speaker 2 (41:48):
You'll never make a dollar, But we stole the ip
to that idea, and it's gene You didn't come up
with it. What it was the listeners, they said it
was probably the Saint Louis couple, and they go, hey,
really yeah, they're like you you should.
Speaker 1 (42:00):
Just announce it.
Speaker 2 (42:00):
Hey, if you came here, you're going to do a
drawing couple people making it into fantasy football for coming
to our stupid live podcast.
Speaker 1 (42:07):
It could have been Randy a tour, but I don't
think he's that smart, and I don't think he could
have come up with that. Cappy No, definitely not Cappy.
Who else could it have been? You don't think? No, No,
it it wasn't Callaway for sure. For sure wasn't Callaway.
It could have been day Ones. They're pretty smart. Yeah,
it's not Jesse Calderon. No, he couldn't have done it.
(42:28):
I don't know. I don't know, but I got an email. Ray.
Your solo podcast was great. I love the investing segment.
I'm glad you did it. You guys need to get nastier? Amit?
Don't be a pe? Lunch? What? Thanks? Craig.
Speaker 2 (42:43):
Yeah, we're the only ones that don't swear. I listen
to all these other podcasts.
Speaker 1 (42:46):
Do they just rip? But I don't know what I'm
being a pee for? How am I being a pe?
I was sick. There's nothing I can do about it.
I tried to come back on Wednesday and was sold. No,
it wasn't like I wasn't trying to be I was
trying to be here, but I don't. I don't think
you realize.
Speaker 2 (43:04):
But also the we should swear more because if you
watch a TV show, you don't realize how much they're swearing.
I just think it holds us back from saying how
we truly feel about things. When you're like, h, I
don't you just say an F word because then that'll
help you get to your next thought.
Speaker 1 (43:20):
Okay, when we come back from this commercial break, I'm
gonna start cussing over and over again. We'll be right back.
You may have to do this one on your own. Hey,
what the are you doing this weekend? Are you getting nothing?
Speaker 2 (43:32):
It's gonna be Me Bazer and Gin Piper and hopefully
there's no storms because it scared us out of us.
And then we have a We do have a church
gathering on Sunday. The nephew is doing something at the
Catholic church, so looking forward to that. It's a huge
day in a Catholic boy's life. So I'm kind of
new to that, so that'll be interesting. But it's just
(43:54):
a totally chill, relaxing weekend because I believe it's iHeart
and a couple weekends, which means I'm going to Charleston.
So we're going out for that airbnb, couple good restaurants,
making sure the Airbnb checks out seeing where we are
address wise? Are we shopping? Are we gonna do a
beach day? Are we gonna meet up with our friend Katie?
She's always a vibe. So there's some things that need
(44:14):
to be sorted out. But yeah, dude, we're I love it.
We're wide open.
Speaker 1 (44:18):
Yeah. Well, let me tell you what I got. I
got baseball game tomorrow at ten am, another baseball game
at eleven thirty am, and then the other baseball game
at twelve pm. So that's my day tomorrow. There you go.
All right, man, that's what I'm gonna be doing, man,
And I'm gonna go see Shaanon Gillis tonight down at
the Bridge Stone, man. But make it a good goodbye. Hey,
(44:40):
you guys have a great weekend. We're out here, and.
Speaker 2 (44:42):
Uh, I don't know what was that.
Speaker 1 (44:48):
I thought we were gonna do like a real nice goodbye? Dude,
did you really? And when he texted me he had
to go to the bathroom, he really had to go
to the bathroom. That's awkward. Uh, yeah, you guys, have
a great weekend, and let me see if I got
any other emails I want to read. Ah man, So
to all our friends out there, you know what I mean.
(45:08):
Be safe, be kind, be loving. I don't know what
the heck that says. I don't know. I don't know
what goodbye he wanted me to do.
Speaker 2 (45:20):
But yeah, yep, all right, here we go.
Speaker 1 (45:33):
Yeah where did he go? He really went to the bathroom.
I thought he was joking. All right, bye, guys, I
gotta walk over. That's why I'm stalling, because I gotta
walk over to this Mike, thanks for listening. Hopefully that
was a good one.
