Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
Yeah, I'm here, man, I'm here. I forgot to hit
the start button on my clock. That's okay, don't worry
about it. I'll figure it out, alright, I'm going here
we go. Huh man, I'm tired. Check oh I'm check
check out my melody. Check check check out my melody.
I want to live good. So I said, hell no.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
All right, man, let's get it started.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Yeah. I didn't sleep very well last night. Man, Baby
Box three is under the weather. Under the weather, I repeat.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
If it's not a birthday, it's a sickness.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
It really is. That's I mean, that just seems the
way the world goes right now. Like we literally I
picked him up on Monday and the teacher's like, oh
I already had to send three kids home today with fevers.
And I'm like, okay, yeah, that's all right. We we
we were only here for like four hours. Oh no, no,
that night it was just rough. And then Tuesday night
(00:53):
rough again where he's just whining and crying all night
and laying on the floor next to him and he
wants to come lay in our bed and I'm like no, no, no, no,
because here's the thing. Once you start like once you
let them sleep in your bed one time, it's where
does it end? Heyo, They will want to do it
every single night. And we are at this point where
(01:16):
we have a three year old, a five year old
and a six year old. They have never and I repeat,
never come into our bed, never under the in the
middle of the night. Have they come wandering and gotten
on our bed. Now like when they're sick, we'll sleep
in the guest room in the bed with them, but
we have never put them in our bed because we
are trying to keep it to where they do not
(01:36):
sleep in our bed because we don't want them to
get used to that. So last night, no, bud, you
can't sleep up in our bed. You can, you know,
just lay here. I'll lay right next to you, but
I'll lay next to you. See, lay down on the
floor for a little bit, and then you hope they
fall asleep before you fall asleep, because then you fall
asleep on the cold floor, our listeners fall asleep.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
That's pretty boring, isn't it. That's my fault.

Speaker 1 (03:03):
That's her name, right, Yeah, espresso Espresso.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
I'm not sure I know that one, but I think
the one I've heard is Oh, when you're kissing him,
you taste me? Is that it? Yep? I was like,
that's a pretty good disc song. It is like, that's
a pretty solid one. And I don't know like who
she's singing to because I don't know anything about the girl.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
It's either Machine Gun Kelly or Travis Barker.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
Oh really, I don't know one of them. But she
has to be talking to another girl.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
Ray is it Timothy Chamalay?
Speaker 2 (03:35):
Like does she have a rivalry with what? Another girl?
Speaker 1 (03:38):
Sabrina Carpenter's rivals with Tate McCrae. No, it's Olivia Rodrigo.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
Oh really, see, I don't know all this. I just
know I've heard that song because my kids have started
requesting to hear music in the car and that one
is played a lot and they're like, Dad, what is
this song? And I'm like Tate and they all right,
so I've heard that one, but I don't know anything
about that, and I'm like, man, that's a pretty good
disc track.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
We gotta intro the show and then I have a prop,
A prop proposition, just a prop like when you bring
in a prop. Oh, you brought a prop I'm on
radio shop talk dude.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Dude, when you said prop earlier, I thought you mean
you had a prop bet for the listeners.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
It's a gag bit. You want to do it or not.
Let's do it after the intro.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
No, my fault, dude.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
I don't gamble anymore, so I don't have prop bets.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
All right. I haven't seen sports in like five days,
so I don't know anything that's going on in the world.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
Well, it's March. Get ready to get mad, March the madness.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
Oh, it's begune, baby, it has begune.
Speaker 1 (04:39):

finalize our negotiations with either Arnold, Zach or Troy in
Australia or nobody else, just us. We're gonna do a
live we Oh the one dude, sore loser?
Speaker 2 (04:58):
What up? Everybody? I am Lunch. I know the most
about sports, so I'll give you the sports facts, my
sports opinions, because I'm pretty much a sports gingius.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
Damn, Wayne d and Tay. I got one monitor over here,
one keyboard over there, one mouse over here, one mouse

over to you, but not so fast, my friend, I
have a prop.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
Why did you cover up with a napkin?
Speaker 1 (05:48):
So I always open my cans. There's a little bit
of residue when you open a can. Go bothers me H,
do you want to have a drink without looking at it?
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Yeah? I already know it, but athletic not alcoholic. Day
I met you, ruined the prop? Dude, Well, you said,
do you want to have a drink without? I didn't
I knew what it was. You don't have a prop drink?
It's actually good, it's really not bad. Where'd you get it?
Speaker 1 (06:13):
The kitchen there was a cooler and it said beer
and then on the other side, it said non alcoholic beer,
but there was no divider, So I hope somebody doesn't
have an alcohol problem and then it can gets kicked
over to the non alcoholic side. Oh, butt heavy, this
is awesome. It's non alcoholic, but heavy.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
He started becoming non alcoholic. Never knew that.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
Oh cool Miller, high life. Get that from Jim. He's
got an alcohol problem.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
Excuse me, sir. Do you know why I pulled Joever today? No? Man,
Why you were kind of swerving in and out of
your lane? Impossible? Man, I was drinking the non alcoholic
butt heavy is at work.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
As anybody's seen Bob over there. He thinks that he's
drinking non alcoholics. But that's a Hey, so that you're
an NBA champion yet are He's so many time?
Speaker 2 (07:05):
You want to know? Is hitting me as those modellas?
Hey man, how many those bud heavy non alcoholics? You have?
About six? Man? But hey, they're not alcoholic. I'm good
to drive, sir. I'm gonna need you to step out
of the vehicle. No man, the cooler said non alcoholic. Man.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
I was talking to James from sales and he's been
off the bottle now for a couple of months and
he's sitting there drinking at dose echis. I was like,
that accidentally went on the wrong side of the cooler.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
I did talk to one guy from sales today and
he was like, hey, he's still playing soccer and I
was like, yeah, you know winter and he goes, my
team didn't sign up with a winner, so I didn't
have a team, so I'm not playing. I said, well,
good news for you is hey, it's starting back up
spring soccer is only like a month away. And he goes, oh, yeah,
I'm moving back to Boston. He only moved here like
(07:53):
eight months ago. I don't know if it. I guess
it didn't work out for him. He's moving back to
the East Coast.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
Boston, beautiful segue. There's a new documentary about the Boston Celtics.
It's on Prime, It's on Max, It's on Hulu. Excuse me,
it's just on Max. My bad. I told Justin. I said, hey, man,
you should watch it. You drank a bottle of wine
in Boston and gave blood don Core. The one text
I got from him when he was in Boston, it
(08:19):
was him at a pool completely vacated. There's not one
person there and it's him drinking wine. Apparently they don't
like pools in Boston, and nobody goes to him.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
Yeah, because it's very cold there, so I don't think
a lot of places spend the money to put pools
in there, like apartment complexes, I would assume.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
And it's Havid, so everybody thinks they're educated. So all
of a sudden, instead of but heavies, he started drinking wine.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
Yeah, and he didn't make very many friends. I did
text him, hey, when the Celtics won last year. I said, hey, Justin,
did you text all your friends in Boston? He goes,
I didn't make any. I was like, hey, Justin, you're
gonna watch that new documentary on the Celtics. Dude, it's on,
like Max, maybe you'll see some of your friends in
the crowd. I don't have any friends in Boston. Man
(09:01):
didn't make any.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
He hit me with one sadder than that. I go, hey, dude,
not even being funny. This Boston documentary is probably a
pretty good on Max, and he goes, I don't even
have cable. This cable bills zero ninety nine every month.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
Dang man, Hey, man, you're sitting on your couch watching
this documentary. I don't have a couch.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
Man, Dude, he goes to the clubhouse.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
Man, is he back at the same apartment complex.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
He is, he has a different apartment. Well, yeah, it's beautiful,
it's great. It's right there on the river. He got
views for days.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
I'm not saying it's a bad spot. I just didn't
realize he moved exactly back to where he was and.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
The place next to us used to be run down
and for light lack of a better word, blighted. And
they just changed the name, kept the apartments the exact
same and called it the Still One and the Still too.
They you can't just change the name of a place.
Name it after some alcoholic brewing mechanism that guys use in.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
Tennessee that would be in distill.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
But it's called a stillery, the Still One. Oh got
to yeah, I guess that's the origination of the name.
And we go, guys, it's the same apartments. Just because
you'd made the name. That's not enough of a makeover.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
It's amazing how often apartment complex has changed names. I
don't know if you've ever noticed this. Maybe this is
not this is an old thing, but They used to
do that all the time. They used to you know,
we used to be live at Pinoak and then six
months later it's called Sage Hollow. Is like, well, like,
you just changed the name and put different paint, Like
it makes no sense.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
You pick on a rock, a river, a tree, a hill,
a mountain, mix the two and call it Bell's Bluff. Hey,
oh yeah, Oh, actually the name sometimes stays the same
because it's different property managers, because now there's a whole
different new property property management team in there.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
Really, Oh yeah, that's right. You sold out. That's why
you got rid of the CARES team. Why do you
think we left? It's just not I wonder what the
vibes like. I wonder if Justin still has the same feelings,
like because you're gone, the committee's gone.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
As Bill still there he is, but they don't talk.
Oh God, and the clubhouse none of the TV's work.
And so he FaceTime me one time. I believe it
was the lead up to Ohio State playing in the
National Championship and he goes, hey, dude, this TV helped
me out. You always knew how to fix it. And
I go, okay, you're gonna want to grab that cord
and he shows me the chord and I mean it's
completely soldered. Oh, I go, well, that's the cord. Actually
(11:16):
you need to plug in so that TV's not gonna work.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
Try the other one. Try the other one.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
Somebody ripped the buttle out of the whole thing. And
he's on a FaceTime leading up to the National Championship.
There's ten people behind him and they have no TV.
And the court split in half. Oh no, that they
was placed one too many.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
Hey the panic and shuts the face like, hey, guys,
I got a great spot we could watch the National Championship.
And he goes down there. He's like, guys, don't just
stick with me. I got this. I'm gonna put it
on this TV. Oh it's not gonna work, all right, guys,
we gotta go somewhere else.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
They went to the corner bar. That was sad, sad time.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
That's a good spot. We got stuff to talk about.
We do have stuff to talk about. You know who
I talked to kid?
Speaker 1 (11:55):
Listen this baseball season watch out for the Dodgers. They
had a kid named Yamamoto.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
No. I talked to batter's box for the first time
in a month. Shit what if everybody that's a batter box.
It was very weird and emotional to look down at
my phone and see misscall batter's box. So I returned
his call.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
Is he thinking in the past? Is she moving on
towards baseball?
Speaker 2 (12:19):
And he didn't answer, and so then he called me
back and I missed it. So I called him back
and he's like, what's up, dude. I'm like, what's up?
How you been good? You good?
Speaker 1 (12:31):
What is this an interrogation?
Speaker 2 (12:32):
He said, I'm a little sad, So what's wrong? Better? Holp?
He said, Debo's gone, kid, Debo's a commander.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
I heard him. They sold him for a box of
cheerios and an apple.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
But I looked at him and I looked at the phone.
I said, but that's okay. He was making too much money.
He's got a lot of wear and tear on that body.
They used him in San Francisco a lot. And did
he really? I mean, he had like one and a
half really good years and everything else. He was just
kind of like, okay, he wasn't a true great wide receiver.
It's fine. He's like, I know it's the right move,
(13:05):
but just sad to see him gone. Man, it's just weird.
And then we just talked about life and things like
that and everything going on, and he was like, Oh,
I just need it to be March Madness. He goes,
baseball needs to start because right now, he goes, I'm bored.
I don't have any sports to watch.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
It's that three week period where you learn how boring
is your family, how much do you really love your kids?
Because there's no football. We don't have March Madness in
baseball's three weeks out. Catchers and pitchers are there, but
you know what we want regular season. We don't care
about Tempe, and we don't care about Florida.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
Yeah, we don't care about kissing me. We don't need that.
But he is excited that March Madness is around the corner.
And I'm excited because football is still happening everywhere because
the Bears, the Chicago Bears, they are making moves.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
Boys.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
They traded for an offensive lineman from the Rams, and
they traded for an offensive lineman from the Chiefs. We
are gonna protect Caleb Williams.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
Tech Wickham.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
We are about to put these guys up front, these hosses,
and Caleb Williams he's not gonna get that uniform dirty
this year. We are gonna protect our franchise quarterback. So man,
I'm having a good week when we went out and
got these two guys, Joe Towhey and Jonah Jackson. I
think their names are supposedly really good. Can't wait for
them to be in Chicago.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
Bear freaking down, yeah, bear down on the toilet props
on getting the names right of offensive and defensive linemen.
I refuse to learn their names. They're the most important
people on the team.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
They are. I mean, you can pay a wide receiver
fifty million if you want. You really need to pay
your offensive lineman and your defensive lineman. That's where the
money is made. Because if the quarterback doesn't have time
to throw the ball, great, your defense is gonna look
better because he's gonna have to get rid of it.
And if your quarterback doesn't have time to throw the ball,
guess what, You're not gonna move the ball. So if
you can get pressure on the quarterback and protect your quarterback,
(14:49):
that's what's gonna win football games, folks.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
And it's a bizarre, weird game. You think you need
the Randy Moss type on the wide receiver routs thoughts
inp for him. He's going through it right now. He's
about battle.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
Or is he? Is he better? Though? He was back
on TV at the Super Bowl.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
He was.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
He was emotional return awesome.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
He's the best. So you maybe need a Randy Moss
or what about these Cooper Cup guys. You just bring
a white guy in, They'll run seven yards. There's no recipe.
People are trying to figure it out, and I've heard
everybody's gonna try and copy what the Eagles did. What
did the Eagles do find a running back?
Speaker 2 (15:24):
Well, I mean that's not as easy, he said, But
I mean look at the Chiefs dated Derrick Henry.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
We got Feist. They stole Henry, they stole AJ Brown.
Who else do you want?
Speaker 2 (15:35):
Hill? Now? They did steal AJ Brown? I mean they
they stole AJ Brown for Trey Lawn Burks. Oh, oh
my god.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
You know what we traded AJ Brown for? What? A
bag of nuts and jelly rolls? Bar worth it man.
We lost the whole team, Yeah you did. And I
read articles. We're just apparently building for twenty twenty seven.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
When the stadium open, when it is, and then we.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
Go for the Super Bowl. We're a three year process.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
I have to say that stadium it's starting to look good.
It is.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
And you, guys, the reason there's no more Sisons stadium, sidies, sightings.
I go around the other way. I actually don't even
go past it anymore. It's quicker to go to the right.
You could in Nashville, Guys, it's crazy. You can go
one way around the city or the other way around
the city, and they all lead to the same road.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
Yeah, there's called loops. It's called a loop. There's a
couple of loops that go around the city. And you
have decided the right loop is faster than the left loop. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
One day I was leaving work and it was a
noticeable car. It was a Lambo. It was a red Lambeau.
And huh, nice red Lambeau. A nice red Lambo. I
go citizens Stadium sightis red Lambo goes to the left.
It's left, right, left, right, depending on which way you're coming.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
I go to the right.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
We left at the exact same time. At stop lights,
bro I am stuck in traffic and I can see,
let's say, a quarter mile of traffic coming from the
left loop. Sorry if this is boring and I see
Lambo going yeah damm, and I said, shosh, that was
the red Lambeau and it beat me by about a mile.
(17:07):
Oh no, now I know which ways the quicker out.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
Well, I did see the new stadium because I went
for a run. I'm trying this new thing where I
get done with work and I go put my stuff
in the car and I change into my running stuff
and then I just go run through downtown shoo. Because
what happens a lot of times is I get home
and then I want to eat lunch, and then next thing,
you know, I can't go run because I ate lunch.
(17:30):
Then you got to wait a couple of hours and
the kids are home and you don't have time to run.
So if I just go get my gear out of
the car, change right there in the parking garage and
go for a run, I knock it out. Then I
go home and eat lunch. So I went running down
there by the river and I could see the concrete
like the top is already up, like the three levels
(17:50):
or whatever, it's already up, and I was like, damn,
they're moving pretty fast. It's the I think the inside
is what takes a lot of time. The detail of
the fine two, the wiring, the plumbing, all that. But
it is starting to look like a stadium.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
Are you able to see how close it is to
the old stadium.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
It is very close, That's what I thought. I mean,
it looks like it is inches away. And my my
thinking of that is, how are they gonna tear down
the old stadium?
Speaker 1 (18:15):
You're telling me they're gonna implode it, dynamite it, and
it's not gonna affect the new stadium foundation. How it
must be the best architects in the world, from somebody
from dubay er something.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
They are going to have to take that down piece
by piece by piece. There is no chance they could
implode it. You cannot blow something up and two feet
over the other thing not be affected. I mean, the
ground is gonna shake and all that dust is gonna
get all over the new stadium. It's gonna be so dirty.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
Are you running Broadway past all the bars?
Speaker 2 (18:45):
I started to go down Broadway and then I got
to about where the fifth and Broad pretty much starts
where Jack's Barbecue is.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
Oh, you passed Chiefs?
Speaker 2 (18:56):
No, right there, you can see it right there where
the old like the startup fifth Broad where the parking
garage is and there were too many damn people. So
I cut over to Demumbrium and I went down v
Mom down to First, all the way up First back
out there behind the jail, and then I went by
the Sound Stadium jail. Isn't that where the courthouse is?
Speaker 1 (19:16):
Oh? You kind of went.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
I went underneath the bridge where we lost Riley.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
Right, that's on the other side of the bridge.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
Yeah, it's right on the other side. The courthouse is
right there on your left.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
We must be talking about two completely different places. I
am jealous. You get to see Broadway, But doesn't it
smell like horsepucky?
Speaker 2 (19:33):
No, that's why there's a lot of people, And it
smelt like acid. And so I went out and then
running on first it was kind of gross. There's a
lot of homeless, dude, And I was like.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
But that's genius. That's a good route where you're not
gonna really think about running.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
Right, You're just enjoying the big buildings. You're enjoying the scenery.
And I went by the Sound Stay. I mean, it's
amazing how much you can cover.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
I lived down there seven years. How many times do
you think.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
I ran it? Three?
Speaker 1 (19:57):
Two?
Speaker 2 (19:57):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (19:58):
Those times, dude, is pphyxiation.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
Yeah, I ran right by your old place. I ran
right by the Four Seasons and then I was right
there on the park on the front of the river.
Nothing but homeless there. That park is beautiful, but it's
nothing but homeless people.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
The park was built in nineteen ninety seven at twenty
years twenty seventeen, and the next day was overtaken and
it was a homeless encampment and we lost our park
that day.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
And I could see this front of the river on
the other side. I'm like, Titans, now that you got
this new stadium, you need a beautiful, beautiful ky what
is it a beautiful location that side of the river,
because there is nothing but trash over there. I mean,
it's disgusting how much trash is on the river bank
over there. Oh.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
I mean, that's the stuff flowing from Memphis, you know.
That's that's that's coming from all over the place. Man, Kentucky,
they're sending all their crap our way.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
Yeah, And we're gonna take a break and I'm gonna
come back. And I was talking to baby Box, right,
don't get polluted, not baby Box. So I was talking
to Batter's Box he told me something crazy that his
kid is doing in baseball, and I said, that makes
baseball no fun. And I'll tell you right after this.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
So bad the innings have been through the roof over
to you, man, have they Yeah, we were on the
main feed.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
That's true, that's true. Uh. So he's telling me his
son is eight years old, so he's in ten and
under ten U baseball, and so that's an eight to
nine year olds. And he told me that they lost
the other day seven to six. I said, dang you,
that was a nail biter. He goes, yeah, we only
played two innings. So what do you mean you only
(21:30):
played two innings? He said, because they only have an
hour and fifteen minute time limit and they only got
through two innings. How is it possible that a baseball
game an hour and fifteen minutes you only played two innings.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
Pitch clock, coach, pitch, you gotta do something.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
It's kid pitch. But he told me, at this age,
they are already doing leadoffs, drop third strikes. He said, So, man, dude,
if a person gets on first base, they're gone. It's
automatically they're on third base.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
Because the arms aren't strong enough to throw a second.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
And the catcher's dropping a lot of the balls, like
if you're leading off it, he said, it's just hey wire.
At this age, you should be learning how to pitch.
I said, that is bananas. We didn't have leadoffs at
our little league. Balconi's shout out until you were thirteen
years old.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
Kid, you're able to go one arms length off the base.
Be careful though. You don't want to get too far
on an island. I'll yell, island kid, get back to shore.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
That's funny. Yeah, I never did leadoffs. I never played.
When I was thirteen, I drashed twelve. I quit. I
was like, this isn't for me. Baseball is not my thing.
I'm not good at it. I don't. I suck at it.
And my attention span was like, since I suck at it,
why do I really want to play and just not
be having fun? So I didn't never do leadoffs, so
I don't know anything about it. But I can't imagine
(22:51):
eight year old's leading off, like it just seems outrageous.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
This isn't for your kid, your brother's kids, kid, This
is for just people out there. You can it's a
time thing, so you could actually have your if you're
a coach, if you're a parent, have your kid lead off,
just you and at the baseball park in time with
a stopwatch how long it takes him to get to
second And then when you're playing another team, time how
long it takes that pitcher to deliver the ball, and
then time how far and long it takes the catcher
(23:18):
when he's doing his warm ups to throw it to
second base. You add the throw to second base, you
add the pitcher's time, and you're able to then see
the time you take to get to second. By math alone,
you can tell if you can steal second base. That's
all it is.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
I understand that. But they're way too young to be
doing leadout. Yeah, it is my point. We when we
were kids, the ball had to like cross the plate
before we could take off. That's when you could come
off of first base, second base, third base, right you
couldn't lead off. So I imagine when you're eight years old,
nine years old, there's a lot of pass balls because
you're just learning how to play catcher. You're just learning
(23:54):
how to pitch. So the pressure of a kid leading
off and trying to hold a runner tight, that is
way too young to be learning that. In my opinion,
maybe I'm lost touch with reality.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
Isn't it standardized testing? I can't believe it's just all
of a sudden one rogue league allows kids to lead off.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
That's what. I don't know what kind of league they're playing,
And I'm like, is this regular little league? What are
you playing? In Batter's box?
Speaker 1 (24:16):
And we have people hit us up on the Facebook.
They said people were wrestling at three years old, dude,
and they said some kids were playing soccer at one
What are we talking about.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
Yo, lunch, I heard you talking about wrestling on the podcast.
I'm a dad of a thirteen year old boy who
has been wrestling since he was five years old. My
son is so determined and has gotten good. He's wrestling
varsity as a ninth grader in high school.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
It's pretty good.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
That's from Troy Martin or Toy Martin. I think it's
Toy Martin. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
The wrestling isn't gonna lead to a career, but it
leads you to the motivation and gives you the tools
you need for that tool belt.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
It can lead you to the UFC. A lot of
these wrestlers are going UFC. Now see that's not the
absolute best wrestler. Shocker wasn't me. I was like third
or fourth. Eh, the Magdalenos are better in me. Jesse
Willis was better than me.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
There are three, Uh, there's another. There had to be
another guy. Oh, cal Antonio, he was a better than me.
So I was five. I was top five on my team.
But dude, the number one guy Magdaleno, he tried to
do UFC.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
We don't do any punching. All we do is wrestle.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
That's the hard part.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
Then he had no kicks either, so I saw he
tried to do a circuit in Wisconsin and he just
really never made it anywhere.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
Yeah, I don't know what. We didn't ever have any
wrestlers go big. I mean like we had Kyle Hogan,
he was pretty good. Carlos Torres was good. I don't
know if they wrested Tim Madrid, but I don't know
that they wrestled after high school. I know Greg Stanzlowski,
I don't think he wrestled, gotcha. He was a friend
of mine. He never wrestled. I know, Oh, I know
who Stanislowski is. He lived down the street from me.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
Bro beautiful house now Greg And what was his brother's name, Mark? Yep, Yeah,
we're never friends with Mark, but Greg best always lived
with him. Mark always was a had a kid, Oh
he had a kid early. It would bring the party down.
We'd all be viving with Billy, Greg, Mike Miller and
then say, hey, we gotta go to Mark's kids birthday.
What all right, dude, let's go over there to drink
a couple of non alcoholics. Come back.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
How's Mark doing, Miller? How's Miller's?
Speaker 1 (26:04):
Miller lives in Colorado now with some chick really skis
every day. Lives off the land at foot of snow
every other day, veil every day. There's a picture of
Vale that's beautiful. Is don't know what he does for money, though, Yeah,
I wonder what his brother, Eric's up to. He's awesome.
That guy's a cool guy. You met him, Yeah, yeah, yeah,
(26:25):
he's aw like he's a business dude.
Speaker 2 (26:28):
You want to hear a story about Eric Miller.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
Eric Miller, you'd have a conversation with him and you'd
be naked by the end of the five minutes. He's
that great of a salesman and he'd sell you a
bottle of water. And I used to an Eskimo.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
That's interesting because we were in accounting class when we
were in high school and Eric the Millers had just
moved to town. They had just moved to Austin from
the East Austin. They had moved from Boston, that's right.
And he was sitting there talking about how he plays basketball.
I'm a pretty good basketball player. And this guy is
sitting in our class. Austin Lewis looks at him, goes, oh,
you're good at basketball. Huh. He goes, yeah, man, I
(26:59):
used to play up in Boston. Sendy goes, you want
to play for your car cheese and he's like what.
Austin's like, yeah, we'll set it up, dude, make it.
Take it my ones and twos. I'll give you eight points.
We played a ten I just Rocker Park. He's like,
I start with the ball. We play for car cheese.
(27:19):
And Miller's like, all right, I'm in.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
It's quite the stakes.
Speaker 2 (27:23):
And I'm like, what are we doing. We are in
the middle of accounting class.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
Maybe a pack of cigarettes and a baseball card.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
And and I'm like, you guys are joking, right, Austin,
You're a joking goes no, I'm that serious. We'll play.
We can play tomorrow after school cheese and Miller's like, yeah,
I'm in. I'm in. I'm pretty good. And he goes,
all right, dude, you bring you got to bring your
your title.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
Put your keys in the middle.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
Guys. He's like, you got to bring the title of
your car because if I win, I'm taking your car.
And I'm like, oh my god. And as the class
goes on, you can see Miller just start kind of
like thinking about it going so like we're gonna play
it like tomorrow, you want to play, and if I lose,
I have to give you my card.
Speaker 1 (27:59):
Can I have your pain? I want to play for cars.
Speaker 2 (28:01):
And he's like, and if you lose, you're gonna give
me your Bronco. He's like, yeah, now you'll get it.
You'll win if you can beat me. You start with eight,
make it take it by ones and twos.
Speaker 1 (28:10):
I start with the ball that sounds like the upper
crust of Austin and that's a Westlake bet.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
And I said, holy crap. By then the class, Miller's like,
you know what, I can't do that. I'm not doing that.
I'm not gonna play bluff on Bluff on Bluff and
Austin's Yea, I knew you were scared, said, don't tell
me you played basketball. Man, I'm like, this guy's crazy.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
Eric Miller ended up being Mike Miller the basketball player.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
Oh good one, dude, Mike Miller. I forgot about him.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
There were some of those guys. If you're just randomly
on a TikTok or something, they'll show you guys. You
totally forgot about dude.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
He used to drain some threes. He was fun to watch.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
He was great. You got Stevie franchise, did you?
Speaker 2 (28:48):
Okay, here's a crazy Stevie franchise. Now that you bring
him up.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
You never know he'd banged my ex life. No.
Speaker 2 (28:54):
I saw something on Twitter X whatever it's called, and
I had no idea about this. That he went to
like six different high schools. He only played in a
handful of high school games. I don't know where it is. Dude.
If I had this, Oh my gosh, I wish I
had known you were going to this. Man.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
Well, instead of searching if I see anything I want
to talk about on the podcast, they take a picture
of it, and guess what, we never get to it
because you tell a story about your kid's birthday party
for forty five minutes.
Speaker 2 (29:22):
Oh really, what did you take a picture of recently
that you would like to talk about? Because I take
pictures all the time and I try to find it. Oh,
I think I probably texted to myself, let me.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
My crap, it's Jason al Dean grabbing his wife's ass
and they're at Nippers Beach. It was me showing Bazer
where I want to go for our vacation.
Speaker 2 (29:37):
Well that didn't help me, I know.
Speaker 1 (29:39):
I thought it was for the pod Who the Pauls
are going to have a reality television show? You hate
them fighting on Saturday nights. Well now they're on Max
at the end of March. Dude, this is gonna be
pretty awesome.
Speaker 2 (29:54):
Their show might be interesting, but their fights are not
interesting because they're all full of crap. They're not real.
They're not real. Man, Gosh, now that you may be
now I'm gonna search for this and it's gonna be
so stupid. It's not even worth me finding this stuff.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
No, you're fine. And then I took a picture of
Johnny Manziel's clubs because he's an awesome He's basically a
scratch golfer. These are the best clubs you're gonna want. Callaway.
And remember when I told you Dodd got a Zuno
Freaking Johnny Manzel had a Mizuno club.
Speaker 2 (30:26):
That's ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (30:27):
Yeah, so there's actually some credence to that where in
Oh my gosh, can I tell my basketball at ya
if you're gonna fill a buster or is it gonna
be in the college basketball set?
Speaker 2 (30:37):
No, go ahead, go ahead. I don't think I'm never
gonna find it as the problem.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
All right, So guys, you're not gonna hear this on
ESPN or Sports Center. This is statistical season. The game
last night. I don't don't watch highlights. I couldn't even
tell you what happened, but I do follow the stats.
I'm all numbers when it comes to that, and that's
I'm trying to get my nephew to learn it as well.
We watch only numbers. Like I told you about baseball,
That's how you steal base strictly numbers, not speed, not
(31:02):
how you look. It's the time to get to a
base and the time the catcher releases the ball. That's
how you do it. Statistical says an Auburn lost to
A and M eighty three seventy two. Why did they lose?
Speaker 2 (31:12):
You ask our host domination.
Speaker 1 (31:13):
It's rhetorical. Oh, it was Auburn's worst defensive efficiency of
the entire season. It wasn't below average, it was bad.
And the reason being gave up twenty four offensive rebounds.
And dude, I don't know if it was Miles Kelly.
I don't know if it was Chad Baker Maserata. Dude,
(31:35):
they're shooting the damn three pointers. If you look at
the stat chart. Look at the stat chart. When you're
in your cubicle right now, I don't care what you're doing.
You're talking to James and accounting Jim and sales Sally
from secretarial guys. Look up the shot chart. The misses
that Auburn missed were five to ten feet beyond the arc.
The ones that were close to the three point line
(31:55):
they made. They're taking dumb shots. But statistically was their
worst defensive offficiency game of the entire year, and the
reason being offensive rebounds, offensive rebounds. But I know how
to figure that. It is to figure defensive efficiency, it's
one hundred times points given up and possessions and possessions
(32:16):
is a little tricky because ESPN doesn't give you that
box score, so if you go there, you're not going
to see it unless you want to scroll through every
play by play to figure possessions. Gosh, dang it, I
need you to filibuster game.
Speaker 2 (32:29):
Steve Francis's story. He sold drugs as a kid, attended
six high schools and only played two games, only two
games of high school basketball. Dropped out of school at
the age of eighteen after his mother passed away from cancer.
His father served twenty years in prison. He completed his
(32:51):
ged in order to play junior college basketball, transferred to Maryland,
and was a number two pick in the nineteen ninety
nine an NBA draft. That is unbelievable. He played two
high school games. I thought that was absolutely bananas.
Speaker 1 (33:11):
Uh yeah, guys. So it's it's basically, there's gonna be
some numbers that are incorrect here, but to figure out
possessions because you're not gonna want to count them.
Speaker 2 (33:19):
It's like, what are we figure out possessions for?
Speaker 1 (33:20):
Because you're trying to figure out defensive efficiency and offensive efficiency.
The reason Auburn lost that game. It was the worst
statistical defensive efficiency game of their entire season, and the
reason being offensive rebounds twenty four offensive rebounds which they
gave up. And but that's that's essentially it. It's it's
points scored eighty three against your defense and then possessions
whatever it was, seventy five is gonna give you in
(33:43):
the one thirties. Evan Maya, I don't know about your
Tom Palm. What's his name, Ken Palm, Jim Palm. It's
in the one thirty range. On Kevin Maya's that's terrible.
There's bad, there's very bad, there's god awful. It was
god awful. So I don't think that happens again. Typically
they hover more towards the middle. I don't see Auburn
doing that again. The statistical season is out, and.
Speaker 2 (34:04):
We'll take a break. Maybe our worst segment of the
history of the pod. Well, listen, you randomly brought up
Steve Francis and it made me remember the tweet and
I had to go find it. It wasn't even that interesting,
and then you're breaking down stuff that people don't even understand.
Speaker 1 (34:20):
But listen, Ken Palm has cornered the market, and Evan
Maya is right there with him. Guess what sore losers.
Now is on to statistical season. We're gonna match those
guys with our own stats.
Speaker 2 (34:32):
Yeah, you know who had great stats? The Vanderbilt basketball
team on Saturday.
Speaker 1 (34:36):
Let me tell you you.
Speaker 2 (34:37):
Let me tell you man, I totally forgot I went
to the game on Saturday.
Speaker 1 (34:40):
I can figure out their effect.
Speaker 2 (34:43):
I don't give a dang about their efficiency, efficiency and
was disease. I'll figure it while you're doing You don't
need to figure it. We need to listen.
Speaker 1 (34:50):
I'm all in.
Speaker 2 (34:51):
So Saturday, man, we had a big day. Saturday, by
the way, we had a birthday party from ten to twelve.
Then we had baseball team meet up where we went
to a restaurant and it was thirty mile an hour
wins and we were sitting on the patio just getting
whipped by the wind. It was freezing cold. So we
could meet everybody on the baseball team. Then my son,
(35:12):
baby Box, he completed the reading challenge, yeah, where he
had to read twenty minutes a day and get up
to one hundred and eighty minutes, and he got either
four tickets to a Vandy's women's game or two tickets
to a men's game.
Speaker 1 (35:27):
Ooh, you gotta go women's and he said, Dawn, I
want to go see the boys. It's kidding, go guys.
Speaker 2 (35:32):
And so they were playing Missouri. I mean, what great game.
Missouri a top twenty five team, Vandy on the brink
of top twenty five, and they give us free tickets.
Speaker 1 (35:41):
I am in I watched it on my phone in
bed with Baser. I typically don't watch the video three D.
I just watched stats in bed. That was like four
o'clock in the afternoon. Yeah, we were taking a nap.
Speaker 2 (35:52):
Oh, my bet this Saturday. My bad, I forgot it
was Saturday. And we roll up there and we see
some of his friends from class and so we're all
sick together and Vandy is just sucking. They are like
one of eighteen from three. The game is like they
keep getting Oh, here goes Missouri on a little run.
They're up seven points Missouri and Vandy comes back down
by two. Oh.
Speaker 1 (36:12):
Then Missouri goes.
Speaker 2 (36:13):
On a run.
Speaker 1 (36:14):
Vandy was eight of twenty six I'm talking.
Speaker 2 (36:16):
About in the beginning, and Missouri started out like they
hit like five out of the first nine threes and
then they didn't hit one for the rest of the game.
Speaker 1 (36:23):
It felt like Missouri was nine of twenty two.
Speaker 2 (36:25):
That's what I'm saying. They were like four or five,
five of six, and then they went ice cold.
Speaker 1 (36:30):
But they're forty percent three point range. That ain't bad, No,
I understand that. And I was just like, you're having
trouble with statistical season anyway, let me tell you the story.
Speaker 2 (36:39):
Then there's like a minute left and Vandy is down
like four or five, and one of the families is like, hey,
we're about to take off. They start getting their jackets
and everything. Vandy hits a three, so they're down by two,
and I'm like, well, you're gonna look really dumb when
you're in the parking lot and you gotta turn around back
(37:00):
in because it's a tie ball game. We're headed the overtime.
They're like yeah, right, because then we foul. We found
Missouri smart and they make both free shows. They're down
by four.
Speaker 1 (37:09):
Vandy is They're like, oh yeah, we're really out of here,
so they head out. Vandy comes down, hits a three,
down by one with twenty seconds to go.
Speaker 2 (37:22):
Then we foul. They make both their free throws. They're
up three, and my wife's like, all right, guys, you
guys ready puts the sweatshirts on the kids, and it's like,
all right, we should leave. We should let's beat the traffic.
We gotta we gotta get out of here because we're
parked in the parking garage. And I was like, yeah,
but don't you want to see it because they call
time out. We want to see it. They want to
make it to overtime. Like ah, She's like, but we
gotta leave early because we don't want get stuck in traffic.
(37:44):
You know. Baby Box two is not feeling too good.
He feels like he's gonna got a fever. I'm like, yeah,
but we're gonna feel dumb. And and baby Box one
was like, I want to stay.
Speaker 1 (37:53):
I want to stay.
Speaker 2 (37:54):
I know. Ray says, al E always leave early, but
I don't abide by that rule. Hey, And so Vandy
comes out, drains a three. We're tied. We're tied with
six seconds ago. They dribble down, they throw it. Shoot,
we're going overtime. We're going overtime. And I look back
and here comes that family walking back in the building,
(38:17):
that one.
Speaker 1 (38:18):
That left early.
Speaker 2 (38:19):
Hey, guys, walcome back and they're like, eh, we've got
to the door. And we heard all the excitement we
turned back in. So dude, it was a phenomenal game.
Speaker 1 (38:26):
How many possessions do you think Missouri had? I need
it for to figure defensive?
Speaker 2 (38:31):
I don't know, but I just know this. That was
a fun game to watch.
Speaker 1 (38:36):
It was great. I would never I saw it and
I said, dude, Vandy's much Watch that quick kid. What's

(40:30):
up these terrible shots, and I'm like, this dude thinks
he's so good. He had seventeen points on. You're not
letting me finish the story.
Speaker 1 (40:38):
Don't let the facts get in the way of a
great story.
Speaker 2 (40:40):
Don't let me finish my story without interrupting me. And
there's like three minutes ago and he dribbles into a
crowd with three people on him. I'm like, you know,
he's gonna try to steal it, and they pick his pocket.
And I look at this other dad and I go, dude,
one sucks. He drives me nuts. And the other dad
looks and goes, dude, that dude thinks he's NBA and
(41:03):
he is maybe w n B A. And I said,
I don't know why he thinks he's so good, because
he does nothing. And in the last two minutes and
then the five minutes overtime, he scored like, uh nine points,
and he carried the team, and he drained a couple
of big threes. I think he drained the three, that's
what That's what he said.
Speaker 1 (41:20):
He drained the three overtime No, and then over in
overtime he did the night night in Missouri almost came out.
Speaker 2 (41:28):
He did over time, he hit a three, put them
up like five or six. He won the very next possession,
Missouri came down and drained the three. I was like,
oh dude, you may put him night night a little
too early, a little too early.
Speaker 1 (41:41):
But the two times you should never do night night
is don't jinx night night with the kids because then
they'll wake back up, don't right jinks night night with
Piper because she'll wake back up. And don't jinx night
night in basketball until the game's over.
Speaker 2 (41:54):
Oh man, it was so fun and I had such
a blast. It was a great game, and I'm all
about anchored down. I don't even have another college basketball
team that I cheer for, Like, I don't know if
there's any other college basketball team on this planet that
I would cheer harder for than the Vanderbilt Commodorees. Anchor
freaking down.
Speaker 1 (42:12):
I can go ahead and run the numbers, though, we'll
take a break and we right back. So they put
up ninety two, and then you're gonna divide that by
how many possessions if you sit if you think there
was like eighty, here's the thing. And then times it
by one hundred. That's how he can get their defensive efficiency.
Speaker 2 (42:24):
Let me tell you this is how bad it's gotten
for me and batter's backs when I talked to him.
Speaker 1 (42:31):
Why are you talking about sex life?
Speaker 2 (42:32):
No, I'm talking about the Kansas Jayhawks basketball team.
Speaker 1 (42:37):
You guys are gonna miss the madness.
Speaker 2 (42:39):
So we're not gonna miss the madness, but we're gonna
be like a twelve seed.
Speaker 1 (42:41):
We're gonna guys are gonna be a Cinderella dude.
Speaker 2 (42:45):
We're gonna be in the playing game after being the
number one team in the damn country, Like we were
the number one team in.
Speaker 1 (42:50):
The country to start the Dickinson Hawkinson had another hell
of a game.
Speaker 2 (42:55):
But let me tell you what Dickinson did. No, no,
don't even blame Dickinson. Dickinson played alright against Houston. But
Dickenson did what Dickinson does. He dicked around and he
dicked it up.
Speaker 1 (43:06):
He always is.
Speaker 2 (43:08):
We don't shoot threes. We can't hit threes. Our guys
are wide open and they don't shoot them. But this
couite guy who's like five foot five, he gets on
the court and these monster of dudes from Houston jumping
at him. He's able to get his shot off, but
no one else on our team seems to be able
to shoot. That's the problem. kJ Adams can't shoot, Dwan
Harris can't shoot, Dick h Dickinson can't shoot. So you
(43:31):
have two players on the court that can shoot the ball.
How long has Harris been with them? Fifteen years?
Speaker 1 (43:37):
He's nobody in Kansas that can play basket.
Speaker 2 (43:40):
Dude. I was a senior in college when Dwan Harris
showed up in Lawrence. Okay, I'm just telling you, God,
and so they don't have to They just there's only
two guys you really have to guard because everybody else
kJ Adams, Hunter Dickinson and Harris, if they're not within
three feet of the basket, there's no point in guarding
them because they can't shoot it. Anyway. I am talking
(44:04):
to Battersbox about how depressed I am yesterday because it's
gotten to the point I don't even put on a
Kansas Jayhawks shirt.
Speaker 1 (44:11):
It's not when the game is not good around the kids.
Speaker 2 (44:14):
I don't even like, oh my gosh, I have to
wear my lucky shirt and I wear it until they
lose because they lose every other game. So there's no
point in getting a shirt and getting good luck going
because it doesn't matter.
Speaker 1 (44:24):
Kids aren't gonna remember your fandom for the Spurs. They're
gonna remember when dad was a poor sport, didn't put
the shirt on. They're gonna remember when the family didn't
have cable. They remember the bad times. They're gonna remember
how you were with this Kansas team in twenty twenty five.
Your kids will remember this. I know, and hey, I'm
gonna be a poor sport.
Speaker 2 (44:43):
And I do. I'm a poor sport. We get down
by like seven, I'm my go it's over. We're not
gonna winha.
Speaker 1 (44:47):
Don't remember me turning off the TV.
Speaker 2 (44:50):
And my boys will be like, oh mom, Mom, Kansas lost.
She's like, there's twelve minutes. Letting me goes yeah, but
dad said, there's no chance we're gonna win. There's no
chance we're gonna win. That's what they're gonna remember. That's
what they're gonna and I do it. I have very pessimistic,
gonna get very depressed. But Hunter Dickinson, I've been so
mean to him because he just does what Hunter Dickinson does.
He played fine on Monday night when we went to Houston,
(45:12):
and we went to the Fertida Center and we were
battling them. Cougars, Ah, cougars, shut up, except for he
did Hunter Dickenson things. We struggle to score on offense,
and Houston seems to get the ball and they go
on a five zero run. No problem. Every basket Kansas
gets it is like pulling teeth. It is such a
struggle to score the basketball. It's amazing that we don't
(45:35):
have anybody that can score the basketball. But anyway, we're
down by seven, down by seven, and we get it
and we score. We're down by five, and then we
stop them on defense. We score again. I think at three,
we're down two. Hell yeah, here come the Jayhawks and
we steal it on defense. Here we go, baby, we
(45:57):
got a chance to tie it. And we always art
the ball on the right side. Hunter Digginson is the
top of the key outside the three point line. We
throw it to him and he always swings it to
the left side. So he catches it at the top
of the key and without even looking, without even looking
to see if the guy is open, no look, he
(46:17):
just turns and automatically throws it to the left where
he's supposed to throw it.
Speaker 1 (46:21):
That's called mailing it in. Man.
Speaker 2 (46:23):
That's called not just being lack of a daysical and
not focusing.
Speaker 1 (46:27):
It's called seven years of this podcast. And this dude,
where's the post office is? We're mailing it in.
Speaker 2 (46:37):
And the Houston guy just jumps right in front takes
it full court. Doug, you very much.
Speaker 1 (46:43):
You can't do that with Houston. They're one of the
best defensive teams in the country.
Speaker 2 (46:46):
Trust to me.
Speaker 1 (46:46):
I know, does Ken Palm have him up there?
Speaker 2 (46:48):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (46:49):
I think Evan Maya has him top five?
Speaker 2 (46:50):
Yes, so there. Now, Now Kansas is down four. After
we had all the olden momentum, the crowd was quiet.
Now they're all loud. So that's all right. He turned
it over. Next play down, he goes in the post,
some guys guarding him up, and he just shoves him
to the ground because he's frustrated.
Speaker 1 (47:05):
Offensive offensive foul Offensiven Dickinson, Houston comes down, drains the three.
Speaker 2 (47:12):
We're down seven with three and a half to go.
Speaker 1 (47:14):
That's a swing.
Speaker 2 (47:14):
We went from two points down to seven points down
like that. Two mistakes by Hunter Dickinson and that sums
up a hundred Dickinson game. It's amazing. He played fine,
but two stupid plays in a row and it's over.
And that is the Kansas basketball season. I just cannot
express how disgusted I am and how sad I am.
(47:38):
And I talked to Pitts and he's a big Jayhawk,
and he goes, I'd even turn it on. But this
is where he gets a little crazy. He goes, it's
just sad that I care more TV.
Speaker 1 (47:47):
Brother.
Speaker 2 (47:48):
He said, it's sad that I care more about the
Kansas Jayhawks basketball than they care. I'm like, well, that's
not that's not accurate. They care. I mean, they really
do care. It's not that they don't care. And He's like,
I put up, I mean it looks like I have
more out there than they do. And I'm like, well
that's that's not true either.
Speaker 1 (48:02):
Brother. While they're on defense, Brother, I'm doing squats too.
Speaker 2 (48:05):
But I I it's just so like that. That sequence
summed up Hunter Dickinson and I was just as I'm
telling this to batters Box, He's just laughing because I'm like,
I don't even care about Kansas basketball this year. I'm not.
It doesn't even upset me anymore. And then I proceeded
to go on a fifteen minute rant about how pissed
off I am, so I guess I still do care.
Speaker 1 (48:22):
Guys, listen to this statistical saison. Do you know, March Madness,
how many times you gotta win to win the tournament? Six?
Six times and less?
Speaker 2 (48:29):
Unless you're like us and you're gonna be in the
playing game.
Speaker 1 (48:33):
And let's just make it to the final four. I'm
not even talking championships, so that means you need four wins.
The first two are absolutely simple, especially if you're a
one seed, if you're a duke, if you're a Texas Tech,
if you're a duke, if you're a Auburn. Okay, the
first two times you play are simple. You're gonna play
Fairly Dickinson and then you're gonna play Michigan. Those teams
(48:56):
are terrible, so your first two games are simple. The
third game is the one that can trip up the
big guys. The fourth game ends up being somebody that
upset it's.
Speaker 2 (49:05):
A Yale and ends up being a blowout.
Speaker 1 (49:07):
They're very simple, so remember this when you're watching your
team in March. First, too easy, Third, watch out for
that third game. It's your Elite eight game. It's your now.
One one gets you to the thirty two two wins
gets you to sixteen. It's it thirty two six, it's
your sweet sixteen game. That's the trip up Elite games easy.
Speaker 2 (49:29):
I'm just hoping that we win a game in the tournament.
Speaker 1 (49:31):
I'll hang up and listen.
Speaker 2 (49:33):
Man, I'm gonna read an email, and then we're gonna
go home.
Speaker 1 (49:35):
This is it, and I gotta get better at this
because what I want to do is I want to
be able to wall your bad mouth and Dickinson Hawkins
and whatever his name is. No, no, no, I want to
pull up, pull up, and then I can give you
the player efficiency.
Speaker 2 (49:48):
No for him, his player efficiency. He's like the fourth
rated player in all of college basketball this season. But
it's that's not adding up with your story, No no, but
dumb little plays like that are the difference. Like that's
what I mean. You can play five, but it's those
two little mistakes that just it unravels everything I know. Coach,
let me go to the email. Coachers, it's been forty
(50:10):
two days since the convention and I'm on forty two
days of a cough.
Speaker 1 (50:14):
They're gonna say they've not been drinking.
Speaker 2 (50:16):
I just wanted to be able to be happy again.
I just want to not worry about cough medicine. I
want to be able to walk a quarter of a
mile without coughing up along or making people look at
me like I'm bringing COVID. In twenty twenty, I hope
I don't ever find out who brought this plague to
Coaches Convention four. If I do, we may have problems
at the next convention. If I don't die first, It's
(50:38):
been a good run, Coaches. Everyone is invited to my funeral.
Some will be required to attend or be haunted. Keep
up the good work, fellas, with or without me. Taylor, Keleoway, Calloway, Callaway.
Speaker 1 (50:50):
Damn, dude, Baser's been getting on me. I've been blowing
my nose probably for a couple months.
Speaker 2 (50:55):
And that's not.
Speaker 1 (50:56):
Boger sugar, that's allergies. National is the worst to you.
Speaker 2 (51:01):
You guys have a good week, but.
Speaker 1 (51:03):
We broke down some sports.
Speaker 2 (51:04):
I mean, I have no idea, I mean but an
I mean, I just can't this Kansas team, I say,
I don't care. Then I watched the game and as
the game just goes and goes and goes. I just
get more depressed than borderpressed and the order pressed, like
we should be able to beat one of these teams.
I mean, Houston, they out rebound. They had like twenty
offensive rebounds. They took thirty more shots than Kansas because
they got the offensive rebounds so many times. It's like,
(51:27):
what are we doing?
Speaker 1 (51:27):
That was the difference in the Auburn game.
Speaker 2 (51:29):
Just grab the damn Oh my god, all right, eh,
I don't care, though, I'm not gonna get mad. I'm
not gonna get mad. I don't mind.
Speaker 1 (51:37):
And I mean, are you seeing anything different than Celtics
and Thunder playing in the NBA Finals that Cleveland all
of a sudden.
Speaker 2 (51:45):
The Lakers are good, dude, I mean I'm stop stop dude.
Speaker 1 (51:49):
No, I get through the number two seeds. You want
me to figure out their defense efficiency? The Lakers suck.
Speaker 2 (51:53):
No, no, no, no, they they their defense has been really
good lately.
Speaker 1 (51:56):
And I gotta say, if I see one more full
court pass from Luca to Lebron like guys that doesn't
win in the playoffs, like stop.
Speaker 2 (52:01):
I'm very I'm some heart center.
Speaker 1 (52:04):
I can't do one more full Corpez till Lebroad I
get They've played no defense. That doesn't win in Jude.
Speaker 2 (52:09):
No, no, no, they do. They have been playing defense. Jackson
Hayes has been great. Who else did they get Dorian
Finney Smith, He's been playing great. I'm just telling you
that I don't know what they're doing, but something's happening
on the defensive end, and it's working.
Speaker 1 (52:21):
I do want to say I feel terrible Dallas for
the Dallas Mavericks. Somebody says they're trying to tank because
they want to move to a different city. They're not
moving to another city, Vegas. They're not moving to Vegas.
They're not doing any of that. I Kyrie getting hurt,
and everybody's like, say, you shouldn't have traded Luca. If
Luca was there and Kyrie got hurt, guess what, it
(52:42):
wouldn't make a difference.
Speaker 2 (52:43):
They're not gonna win. You can't. That's just a it's
an injury. It happens that has nothing to do with
the Luca trade. It's called bad luck. Some people say karma.
I really believe if Anthony Davis came back and Kyrie
was there, they had a chance to win it all.
And now not only is this year shot, I think
next year is shot because Kyrie has to have a
(53:04):
cl surgery that's gonna take nine to ten twelve months.
Next year is over. That sucks. That sucks for the Mavericks.
I felt, I mean, I feel so bad. And Kyrie,
let me tell you, as much as I used to
bash him, he was bald. He has been fantastic in Dallas,
and now he's out.
Speaker 1 (53:25):
He's a stone cold killer. He's the reason that Cleveland
won the championship one year. He is he is, and
statistical citizen will support that.
Speaker 2 (53:33):
And Hunter Digginson telling me that he's the fourth most
efficient player in college basketball.
Speaker 1 (53:38):
You get the hell that's your boy, Ken Palm. He
doesn't know what the hell he's talking about.
Speaker 2 (53:41):
Gosh, but hey, if we make the Sweet sixteen, it'll
be a miracle. If we win a game, you'll make
the Sweet sixteen.
Speaker 1 (53:46):
The first two games of the easiest, the third You
understand why? No, you guys are gonna play who? You
know who you're gonna play first round? Tell me it's
gonna be somebody. It's not gonna be an SEC team.
It'll be You're gonna play Yale and guess who we
always used to We lose the butt nail. We lose
to Bradley, we lose the Yale, We lose all those cool.
Speaker 2 (54:07):
All of them, all of them.
Speaker 1 (54:09):
I mean, gosh, dude, you know who you're gonna play?
First round Bellmine and guess what. They're up the road
at Music Row, Lipscomb. That's who we're gonna play. And
they're gonna beat our butts. They're gonna beat our butts.
Speaker 2 (54:21):
Man, Oh my gosh, I got I'm sick. I'm sick.
Hello.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
Yeah, I'm here, man, I'm here. I forgot to hit
the start button on my clock. That's okay, don't worry
about it. I'll figure it out, alright, I'm going here
we go. Huh man, I'm tired. Check oh I'm check
check out my melody. Check check check out my melody.
I want to live good. So I said, hell no.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
All right, man, let's get it started.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Yeah. I didn't sleep very well last night. Man, Baby
Box three is under the weather. Under the weather, I repeat.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
If it's not a birthday, it's a sickness.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
It really is. That's I mean, that just seems the
way the world goes right now. Like we literally I
picked him up on Monday and the teacher's like, oh
I already had to send three kids home today with fevers.
And I'm like, okay, yeah, that's all right. We we
we were only here for like four hours. Oh no, no,
that night it was just rough. And then Tuesday night
(00:53):
rough again where he's just whining and crying all night
and laying on the floor next to him and he
wants to come lay in our bed and I'm like no, no, no, no,
because here's the thing. Once you start like once you
let them sleep in your bed one time, it's where
does it end? Heyo, They will want to do it
every single night. And we are at this point where
(01:16):
we have a three year old, a five year old
and a six year old. They have never and I repeat,
never come into our bed, never under the in the
middle of the night. Have they come wandering and gotten
on our bed. Now like when they're sick, we'll sleep
in the guest room in the bed with them, but
we have never put them in our bed because we
are trying to keep it to where they do not
(01:36):
sleep in our bed because we don't want them to
get used to that. So last night, no, bud, you
can't sleep up in our bed. You can, you know,
just lay here. I'll lay right next to you, but
I'll lay next to you. See, lay down on the
floor for a little bit, and then you hope they
fall asleep before you fall asleep, because then you fall
asleep on the cold floor, our listeners fall asleep.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
That's pretty boring, isn't it. That's my fault.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
Arnold is Off considering replace him with Troy or Zach,
one of them as a contract with another morning show,
the other. The latter that aforementioned. He lives in Australia.

that's a pretty good disc song. It is like, that's
a pretty solid one. And I don't know like who
she's singing to because I don't know anything about the girl.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
It's either Machine Gun Kelly or Travis Barker.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
Oh really, I don't know one of them. But she
has to be talking to another girl.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
Ray is it Timothy Chamalay?
Speaker 2 (03:35):
Like does she have a rivalry with what? Another girl?
Speaker 1 (03:38):
Sabrina Carpenter's rivals with Tate McCrae. No, it's Olivia Rodrigo.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
Oh really, see, I don't know all this. I just
know I've heard that song because my kids have started
requesting to hear music in the car and that one
is played a lot and they're like, Dad, what is
this song? And I'm like Tate and they all right,
so I've heard that one, but I don't know anything
about that, and I'm like, man, that's a pretty good
disc track.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
We gotta intro the show and then I have a prop,
A prop proposition, just a prop like when you bring
in a prop. Oh, you brought a prop I'm on
radio shop talk dude.

you had a prop bet for the listeners.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
It's a gag bit. You want to do it or not.
Let's do it after the intro.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
No, my fault, dude.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
I don't gamble anymore, so I don't have prop bets.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
All right. I haven't seen sports in like five days,
so I don't know anything that's going on in the world.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
Well, it's March. Get ready to get mad, March the madness.

your lane? Impossible? Man, I was drinking the non alcoholic
butt heavy is at work.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
As anybody's seen Bob over there. He thinks that he's
drinking non alcoholics. But that's a Hey, so that you're
an NBA champion yet are He's so many time?
Speaker 2 (07:05):
You want to know? Is hitting me as those modellas?
Hey man, how many those bud heavy non alcoholics? You have?
About six? Man? But hey, they're not alcoholic. I'm good
to drive, sir. I'm gonna need you to step out
of the vehicle. No man, the cooler said non alcoholic. Man.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
I was talking to James from sales and he's been
off the bottle now for a couple of months and
he's sitting there drinking at dose echis. I was like,
that accidentally went on the wrong side of the cooler.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
I did talk to one guy from sales today and
he was like, hey, he's still playing soccer and I
was like, yeah, you know winter and he goes, my
team didn't sign up with a winner, so I didn't
have a team, so I'm not playing. I said, well,
good news for you is hey, it's starting back up
spring soccer is only like a month away. And he goes, oh, yeah,
I'm moving back to Boston. He only moved here like
(07:53):
eight months ago. I don't know if it. I guess
it didn't work out for him. He's moving back to
the East Coast.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
Boston, beautiful segue. There's a new documentary about the Boston Celtics.
It's on Prime, It's on Max, It's on Hulu. Excuse me,
it's just on Max. My bad. I told Justin. I said, hey, man,
you should watch it. You drank a bottle of wine
in Boston and gave blood don Core. The one text
I got from him when he was in Boston, it
(08:19):
was him at a pool completely vacated. There's not one
person there and it's him drinking wine. Apparently they don't
like pools in Boston, and nobody goes to him.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
Yeah, because it's very cold there, so I don't think
a lot of places spend the money to put pools
in there, like apartment complexes, I would assume.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
And it's Havid, so everybody thinks they're educated. So all
of a sudden, instead of but heavies, he started drinking wine.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
Yeah, and he didn't make very many friends. I did
text him, hey, when the Celtics won last year. I said, hey, Justin,
did you text all your friends in Boston? He goes,
I didn't make any. I was like, hey, Justin, you're
gonna watch that new documentary on the Celtics. Dude, it's on,
like Max, maybe you'll see some of your friends in
the crowd. I don't have any friends in Boston. Man
(09:01):
didn't make any.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
He hit me with one sadder than that. I go, hey, dude,
not even being funny. This Boston documentary is probably a
pretty good on Max, and he goes, I don't even
have cable. This cable bills zero ninety nine every month.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
Dang man, Hey, man, you're sitting on your couch watching
this documentary. I don't have a couch.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
Man, Dude, he goes to the clubhouse.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
Man, is he back at the same apartment complex.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
He is, he has a different apartment. Well, yeah, it's beautiful,
it's great. It's right there on the river. He got
views for days.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
I'm not saying it's a bad spot. I just didn't
realize he moved exactly back to where he was and.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
The place next to us used to be run down
and for light lack of a better word, blighted. And
they just changed the name, kept the apartments the exact
same and called it the Still One and the Still too.
They you can't just change the name of a place.
Name it after some alcoholic brewing mechanism that guys use in.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
Tennessee that would be in distill.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
But it's called a stillery, the Still One. Oh got
to yeah, I guess that's the origination of the name.
And we go, guys, it's the same apartments. Just because
you'd made the name. That's not enough of a makeover.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
It's amazing how often apartment complex has changed names. I
don't know if you've ever noticed this. Maybe this is
not this is an old thing, but They used to
do that all the time. They used to you know,
we used to be live at Pinoak and then six
months later it's called Sage Hollow. Is like, well, like,
you just changed the name and put different paint, Like
it makes no sense.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
You pick on a rock, a river, a tree, a hill,
a mountain, mix the two and call it Bell's Bluff. Hey,
oh yeah, Oh, actually the name sometimes stays the same
because it's different property managers, because now there's a whole
different new property property management team in there.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
Really, Oh yeah, that's right. You sold out. That's why
you got rid of the CARES team. Why do you
think we left? It's just not I wonder what the
vibes like. I wonder if Justin still has the same feelings,
like because you're gone, the committee's gone.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
As Bill still there he is, but they don't talk.
Oh God, and the clubhouse none of the TV's work.
And so he FaceTime me one time. I believe it
was the lead up to Ohio State playing in the
National Championship and he goes, hey, dude, this TV helped
me out. You always knew how to fix it. And
I go, okay, you're gonna want to grab that cord
and he shows me the chord and I mean it's
completely soldered. Oh, I go, well, that's the cord. Actually
(11:16):
you need to plug in so that TV's not gonna work.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
Try the other one. Try the other one.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
Somebody ripped the buttle out of the whole thing. And
he's on a FaceTime leading up to the National Championship.
There's ten people behind him and they have no TV.
And the court split in half. Oh no, that they
was placed one too many.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
Hey the panic and shuts the face like, hey, guys,
I got a great spot we could watch the National Championship.
And he goes down there. He's like, guys, don't just
stick with me. I got this. I'm gonna put it
on this TV. Oh it's not gonna work, all right, guys,
we gotta go somewhere else.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
They went to the corner bar. That was sad, sad time.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
That's a good spot. We got stuff to talk about.
We do have stuff to talk about. You know who
I talked to kid?
Speaker 1 (11:55):
Listen this baseball season watch out for the Dodgers. They
had a kid named Yamamoto.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
No. I talked to batter's box for the first time
in a month. Shit what if everybody that's a batter box.
It was very weird and emotional to look down at
my phone and see misscall batter's box. So I returned
his call.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
Is he thinking in the past? Is she moving on
towards baseball?
Speaker 2 (12:19):
And he didn't answer, and so then he called me
back and I missed it. So I called him back
and he's like, what's up, dude. I'm like, what's up?
How you been good? You good?
Speaker 1 (12:31):
What is this an interrogation?
Speaker 2 (12:32):
He said, I'm a little sad, So what's wrong? Better? Holp?
He said, Debo's gone, kid, Debo's a commander.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
I heard him. They sold him for a box of
cheerios and an apple.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
But I looked at him and I looked at the phone.
I said, but that's okay. He was making too much money.
He's got a lot of wear and tear on that body.
They used him in San Francisco a lot. And did
he really? I mean, he had like one and a
half really good years and everything else. He was just
kind of like, okay, he wasn't a true great wide receiver.
It's fine. He's like, I know it's the right move,
(13:05):
but just sad to see him gone. Man, it's just weird.
And then we just talked about life and things like
that and everything going on, and he was like, Oh,
I just need it to be March Madness. He goes,
baseball needs to start because right now, he goes, I'm bored.
I don't have any sports to watch.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
It's that three week period where you learn how boring
is your family, how much do you really love your kids?
Because there's no football. We don't have March Madness in
baseball's three weeks out. Catchers and pitchers are there, but
you know what we want regular season. We don't care
about Tempe, and we don't care about Florida.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
Yeah, we don't care about kissing me. We don't need that.
But he is excited that March Madness is around the corner.
And I'm excited because football is still happening everywhere because
the Bears, the Chicago Bears, they are making moves.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
Boys.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
They traded for an offensive lineman from the Rams, and
they traded for an offensive lineman from the Chiefs. We
are gonna protect Caleb Williams.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
Tech Wickham.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
We are about to put these guys up front, these hosses,
and Caleb Williams he's not gonna get that uniform dirty
this year. We are gonna protect our franchise quarterback. So man,
I'm having a good week when we went out and
got these two guys, Joe Towhey and Jonah Jackson. I
think their names are supposedly really good. Can't wait for
them to be in Chicago.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
Bear freaking down, yeah, bear down on the toilet props
on getting the names right of offensive and defensive linemen.
I refuse to learn their names. They're the most important
people on the team.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
They are. I mean, you can pay a wide receiver
fifty million if you want. You really need to pay
your offensive lineman and your defensive lineman. That's where the
money is made. Because if the quarterback doesn't have time
to throw the ball, great, your defense is gonna look
better because he's gonna have to get rid of it.
And if your quarterback doesn't have time to throw the ball,
guess what, You're not gonna move the ball. So if
you can get pressure on the quarterback and protect your quarterback,
(14:49):
that's what's gonna win football games, folks.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
And it's a bizarre, weird game. You think you need
the Randy Moss type on the wide receiver routs thoughts
inp for him. He's going through it right now. He's
about battle.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
Or is he? Is he better? Though? He was back
on TV at the Super Bowl.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
He was.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
He was emotional return awesome.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
He's the best. So you maybe need a Randy Moss
or what about these Cooper Cup guys. You just bring
a white guy in, They'll run seven yards. There's no recipe.
People are trying to figure it out, and I've heard
everybody's gonna try and copy what the Eagles did. What
did the Eagles do find a running back?
Speaker 2 (15:24):
Well, I mean that's not as easy, he said, But
I mean look at the Chiefs dated Derrick Henry.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
We got Feist. They stole Henry, they stole AJ Brown.
Who else do you want?
Speaker 2 (15:35):
Hill? Now? They did steal AJ Brown? I mean they
they stole AJ Brown for Trey Lawn Burks. Oh, oh
my god.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
You know what we traded AJ Brown for? What? A
bag of nuts and jelly rolls? Bar worth it man.
We lost the whole team, Yeah you did. And I
read articles. We're just apparently building for twenty twenty seven.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
When the stadium open, when it is, and then we.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
Go for the Super Bowl. We're a three year process.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
I have to say that stadium it's starting to look good.
It is.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
And you, guys, the reason there's no more Sisons stadium, sidies, sightings.
I go around the other way. I actually don't even
go past it anymore. It's quicker to go to the right.
You could in Nashville, Guys, it's crazy. You can go
one way around the city or the other way around
the city, and they all lead to the same road.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
Yeah, there's called loops. It's called a loop. There's a
couple of loops that go around the city. And you
have decided the right loop is faster than the left loop. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
One day I was leaving work and it was a
noticeable car. It was a Lambo. It was a red Lambeau.
And huh, nice red Lambeau. A nice red Lambo. I
go citizens Stadium sightis red Lambo goes to the left.
It's left, right, left, right, depending on which way you're coming.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
I go to the right.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
We left at the exact same time. At stop lights,
bro I am stuck in traffic and I can see,
let's say, a quarter mile of traffic coming from the
left loop. Sorry if this is boring and I see
Lambo going yeah damm, and I said, shosh, that was
the red Lambeau and it beat me by about a mile.
(17:07):
Oh no, now I know which ways the quicker out.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
Well, I did see the new stadium because I went
for a run. I'm trying this new thing where I
get done with work and I go put my stuff
in the car and I change into my running stuff
and then I just go run through downtown shoo. Because
what happens a lot of times is I get home
and then I want to eat lunch, and then next thing,
you know, I can't go run because I ate lunch.
(17:30):
Then you got to wait a couple of hours and
the kids are home and you don't have time to run.
So if I just go get my gear out of
the car, change right there in the parking garage and
go for a run, I knock it out. Then I
go home and eat lunch. So I went running down
there by the river and I could see the concrete
like the top is already up, like the three levels
(17:50):
or whatever, it's already up, and I was like, damn,
they're moving pretty fast. It's the I think the inside
is what takes a lot of time. The detail of
the fine two, the wiring, the plumbing, all that. But
it is starting to look like a stadium.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
Are you able to see how close it is to
the old stadium.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
It is very close, That's what I thought. I mean,
it looks like it is inches away. And my my
thinking of that is, how are they gonna tear down
the old stadium?
Speaker 1 (18:15):
You're telling me they're gonna implode it, dynamite it, and
it's not gonna affect the new stadium foundation. How it
must be the best architects in the world, from somebody
from dubay er something.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
They are going to have to take that down piece
by piece by piece. There is no chance they could
implode it. You cannot blow something up and two feet
over the other thing not be affected. I mean, the
ground is gonna shake and all that dust is gonna
get all over the new stadium. It's gonna be so dirty.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
Are you running Broadway past all the bars?
Speaker 2 (18:45):
I started to go down Broadway and then I got
to about where the fifth and Broad pretty much starts
where Jack's Barbecue is.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
Oh, you passed Chiefs?
Speaker 2 (18:56):
No, right there, you can see it right there where
the old like the startup fifth Broad where the parking
garage is and there were too many damn people. So
I cut over to Demumbrium and I went down v
Mom down to First, all the way up First back
out there behind the jail, and then I went by
the Sound Stadium jail. Isn't that where the courthouse is?
Speaker 1 (19:16):
Oh? You kind of went.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
I went underneath the bridge where we lost Riley.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
Right, that's on the other side of the bridge.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
Yeah, it's right on the other side. The courthouse is
right there on your left.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
We must be talking about two completely different places. I
am jealous. You get to see Broadway, But doesn't it
smell like horsepucky?
Speaker 2 (19:33):
No, that's why there's a lot of people, And it
smelt like acid. And so I went out and then
running on first it was kind of gross. There's a
lot of homeless, dude, And I was like.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
But that's genius. That's a good route where you're not
gonna really think about running.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
Right, You're just enjoying the big buildings. You're enjoying the scenery.
And I went by the Sound Stay. I mean, it's
amazing how much you can cover.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
I lived down there seven years. How many times do
you think.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
I ran it? Three?
Speaker 1 (19:57):
Two?
Speaker 2 (19:57):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (19:58):
Those times, dude, is pphyxiation.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
Yeah, I ran right by your old place. I ran
right by the Four Seasons and then I was right
there on the park on the front of the river.
Nothing but homeless there. That park is beautiful, but it's
nothing but homeless people.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
The park was built in nineteen ninety seven at twenty
years twenty seventeen, and the next day was overtaken and
it was a homeless encampment and we lost our park
that day.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
And I could see this front of the river on
the other side. I'm like, Titans, now that you got
this new stadium, you need a beautiful, beautiful ky what
is it a beautiful location that side of the river,
because there is nothing but trash over there. I mean,
it's disgusting how much trash is on the river bank
over there. Oh.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
I mean, that's the stuff flowing from Memphis, you know.
That's that's that's coming from all over the place. Man, Kentucky,
they're sending all their crap our way.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
Yeah, And we're gonna take a break and I'm gonna
come back. And I was talking to baby Box, right,
don't get polluted, not baby Box. So I was talking
to Batter's Box he told me something crazy that his
kid is doing in baseball, and I said, that makes
baseball no fun. And I'll tell you right after this.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
So bad the innings have been through the roof over
to you, man, have they Yeah, we were on the
main feed.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
That's true, that's true. Uh. So he's telling me his
son is eight years old, so he's in ten and
under ten U baseball, and so that's an eight to
nine year olds. And he told me that they lost
the other day seven to six. I said, dang you,
that was a nail biter. He goes, yeah, we only
played two innings. So what do you mean you only
(21:30):
played two innings? He said, because they only have an
hour and fifteen minute time limit and they only got
through two innings. How is it possible that a baseball
game an hour and fifteen minutes you only played two innings.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
Pitch clock, coach, pitch, you gotta do something.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
It's kid pitch. But he told me, at this age,
they are already doing leadoffs, drop third strikes. He said, So, man, dude,
if a person gets on first base, they're gone. It's
automatically they're on third base.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
Because the arms aren't strong enough to throw a second.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
And the catcher's dropping a lot of the balls, like
if you're leading off it, he said, it's just hey wire.
At this age, you should be learning how to pitch.
I said, that is bananas. We didn't have leadoffs at
our little league. Balconi's shout out until you were thirteen
years old.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
Kid, you're able to go one arms length off the base.
Be careful though. You don't want to get too far
on an island. I'll yell, island kid, get back to shore.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
That's funny. Yeah, I never did leadoffs. I never played.
When I was thirteen, I drashed twelve. I quit. I
was like, this isn't for me. Baseball is not my thing.
I'm not good at it. I don't. I suck at it.
And my attention span was like, since I suck at it,
why do I really want to play and just not
be having fun? So I didn't never do leadoffs, so
I don't know anything about it. But I can't imagine
(22:51):
eight year old's leading off, like it just seems outrageous.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
This isn't for your kid, your brother's kids, kid, This
is for just people out there. You can it's a
time thing, so you could actually have your if you're
a coach, if you're a parent, have your kid lead off,
just you and at the baseball park in time with
a stopwatch how long it takes him to get to
second And then when you're playing another team, time how
long it takes that pitcher to deliver the ball, and
then time how far and long it takes the catcher
(23:18):
when he's doing his warm ups to throw it to
second base. You add the throw to second base, you
add the pitcher's time, and you're able to then see
the time you take to get to second. By math alone,
you can tell if you can steal second base. That's
all it is.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
I understand that. But they're way too young to be
doing leadout. Yeah, it is my point. We when we
were kids, the ball had to like cross the plate
before we could take off. That's when you could come
off of first base, second base, third base, right you
couldn't lead off. So I imagine when you're eight years old,
nine years old, there's a lot of pass balls because
you're just learning how to play catcher. You're just learning
(23:54):
how to pitch. So the pressure of a kid leading
off and trying to hold a runner tight, that is
way too young to be learning that. In my opinion,
maybe I'm lost touch with reality.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
Isn't it standardized testing? I can't believe it's just all
of a sudden one rogue league allows kids to lead off.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
That's what. I don't know what kind of league they're playing,
And I'm like, is this regular little league? What are
you playing? In Batter's box?
Speaker 1 (24:16):
And we have people hit us up on the Facebook.
They said people were wrestling at three years old, dude,
and they said some kids were playing soccer at one
What are we talking about.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
Yo, lunch, I heard you talking about wrestling on the podcast.
I'm a dad of a thirteen year old boy who
has been wrestling since he was five years old. My
son is so determined and has gotten good. He's wrestling
varsity as a ninth grader in high school.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
It's pretty good.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
That's from Troy Martin or Toy Martin. I think it's
Toy Martin. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
The wrestling isn't gonna lead to a career, but it
leads you to the motivation and gives you the tools
you need for that tool belt.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
It can lead you to the UFC. A lot of
these wrestlers are going UFC. Now see that's not the
absolute best wrestler. Shocker wasn't me. I was like third
or fourth. Eh, the Magdalenos are better in me. Jesse
Willis was better than me.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
There are three, Uh, there's another. There had to be
another guy. Oh, cal Antonio, he was a better than me.
So I was five. I was top five on my team.
But dude, the number one guy Magdaleno, he tried to
do UFC.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
We don't do any punching. All we do is wrestle.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
That's the hard part.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
Then he had no kicks either, so I saw he
tried to do a circuit in Wisconsin and he just
really never made it anywhere.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
Yeah, I don't know what. We didn't ever have any
wrestlers go big. I mean like we had Kyle Hogan,
he was pretty good. Carlos Torres was good. I don't
know if they wrested Tim Madrid, but I don't know
that they wrestled after high school. I know Greg Stanzlowski,
I don't think he wrestled, gotcha. He was a friend
of mine. He never wrestled. I know, Oh, I know
who Stanislowski is. He lived down the street from me.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
Bro beautiful house now Greg And what was his brother's name, Mark? Yep, Yeah,
we're never friends with Mark, but Greg best always lived
with him. Mark always was a had a kid, Oh
he had a kid early. It would bring the party down.
We'd all be viving with Billy, Greg, Mike Miller and
then say, hey, we gotta go to Mark's kids birthday.
What all right, dude, let's go over there to drink
a couple of non alcoholics. Come back.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
How's Mark doing, Miller? How's Miller's?
Speaker 1 (26:04):
Miller lives in Colorado now with some chick really skis
every day. Lives off the land at foot of snow
every other day, veil every day. There's a picture of
Vale that's beautiful. Is don't know what he does for money, though, Yeah,
I wonder what his brother, Eric's up to. He's awesome.
That guy's a cool guy. You met him, Yeah, yeah, yeah,
(26:25):
he's aw like he's a business dude.
Speaker 2 (26:28):
You want to hear a story about Eric Miller.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
Eric Miller, you'd have a conversation with him and you'd
be naked by the end of the five minutes. He's
that great of a salesman and he'd sell you a
bottle of water. And I used to an Eskimo.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
That's interesting because we were in accounting class when we
were in high school and Eric the Millers had just
moved to town. They had just moved to Austin from
the East Austin. They had moved from Boston, that's right.
And he was sitting there talking about how he plays basketball.
I'm a pretty good basketball player. And this guy is

(27:19):
And Miller's like, all right, I'm in.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
It's quite the stakes.
Speaker 2 (27:23):
And I'm like, what are we doing. We are in
the middle of accounting class.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
Maybe a pack of cigarettes and a baseball card.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
And and I'm like, you guys are joking, right, Austin,
You're a joking goes no, I'm that serious. We'll play.

And I'm like, oh my god. And as the class
goes on, you can see Miller just start kind of
like thinking about it going so like we're gonna play
it like tomorrow, you want to play, and if I lose,
I have to give you my card.
Speaker 1 (27:59):
Can I have your pain? I want to play for cars.
Speaker 2 (28:01):
And he's like, and if you lose, you're gonna give
me your Bronco. He's like, yeah, now you'll get it.
You'll win if you can beat me. You start with eight,
make it take it by ones and twos.
Speaker 1 (28:10):
I start with the ball that sounds like the upper
crust of Austin and that's a Westlake bet.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
And I said, holy crap. By then the class, Miller's like,
you know what, I can't do that. I'm not doing that.
I'm not gonna play bluff on Bluff on Bluff and
Austin's Yea, I knew you were scared, said, don't tell
me you played basketball. Man, I'm like, this guy's crazy.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
Eric Miller ended up being Mike Miller the basketball player.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
Oh good one, dude, Mike Miller. I forgot about him.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
There were some of those guys. If you're just randomly
on a TikTok or something, they'll show you guys. You
totally forgot about dude.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
He used to drain some threes. He was fun to watch.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
He was great. You got Stevie franchise, did you?
Speaker 2 (28:48):
Okay, here's a crazy Stevie franchise. Now that you bring
him up.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
You never know he'd banged my ex life. No.
Speaker 2 (28:54):
I saw something on Twitter X whatever it's called, and
I had no idea about this. That he went to
like six different high schools. He only played in a
handful of high school games. I don't know where it is. Dude.
If I had this, Oh my gosh, I wish I
had known you were going to this. Man.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
Well, instead of searching if I see anything I want
to talk about on the podcast, they take a picture
of it, and guess what, we never get to it
because you tell a story about your kid's birthday party
for forty five minutes.
Speaker 2 (29:22):
Oh really, what did you take a picture of recently
that you would like to talk about? Because I take
pictures all the time and I try to find it. Oh,
I think I probably texted to myself, let me.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
My crap, it's Jason al Dean grabbing his wife's ass
and they're at Nippers Beach. It was me showing Bazer
where I want to go for our vacation.
Speaker 2 (29:37):
Well that didn't help me, I know.
Speaker 1 (29:39):
I thought it was for the pod Who the Pauls
are going to have a reality television show? You hate
them fighting on Saturday nights. Well now they're on Max
at the end of March. Dude, this is gonna be
pretty awesome.
Speaker 2 (29:54):
Their show might be interesting, but their fights are not
interesting because they're all full of crap. They're not real.
They're not real. Man, Gosh, now that you may be
now I'm gonna search for this and it's gonna be
so stupid. It's not even worth me finding this stuff.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
No, you're fine. And then I took a picture of
Johnny Manziel's clubs because he's an awesome He's basically a
scratch golfer. These are the best clubs you're gonna want. Callaway.
And remember when I told you Dodd got a Zuno
Freaking Johnny Manzel had a Mizuno club.
Speaker 2 (30:26):
That's ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (30:27):
Yeah, so there's actually some credence to that where in
Oh my gosh, can I tell my basketball at ya
if you're gonna fill a buster or is it gonna
be in the college basketball set?
Speaker 2 (30:37):
No, go ahead, go ahead. I don't think I'm never
gonna find it as the problem.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
All right, So guys, you're not gonna hear this on
ESPN or Sports Center. This is statistical season. The game
last night. I don't don't watch highlights. I couldn't even
tell you what happened, but I do follow the stats.
I'm all numbers when it comes to that, and that's
I'm trying to get my nephew to learn it as well.
We watch only numbers. Like I told you about baseball,
That's how you steal base strictly numbers, not speed, not
(31:02):
how you look. It's the time to get to a
base and the time the catcher releases the ball. That's
how you do it. Statistical says an Auburn lost to
A and M eighty three seventy two. Why did they lose?
Speaker 2 (31:12):
You ask our host domination.
Speaker 1 (31:13):
It's rhetorical. Oh, it was Auburn's worst defensive efficiency of
the entire season. It wasn't below average, it was bad.
And the reason being gave up twenty four offensive rebounds.
And dude, I don't know if it was Miles Kelly.
I don't know if it was Chad Baker Maserata. Dude,
(31:35):
they're shooting the damn three pointers. If you look at
the stat chart. Look at the stat chart. When you're
in your cubicle right now, I don't care what you're doing.
You're talking to James and accounting Jim and sales Sally
from secretarial guys. Look up the shot chart. The misses
that Auburn missed were five to ten feet beyond the arc.
The ones that were close to the three point line
(31:55):
they made. They're taking dumb shots. But statistically was their
worst defensive offficiency game of the entire year, and the
reason being offensive rebounds, offensive rebounds. But I know how
to figure that. It is to figure defensive efficiency, it's
one hundred times points given up and possessions and possessions
(32:16):
is a little tricky because ESPN doesn't give you that
box score, so if you go there, you're not going
to see it unless you want to scroll through every
play by play to figure possessions. Gosh, dang it, I
need you to filibuster game.
Speaker 2 (32:29):
Steve Francis's story. He sold drugs as a kid, attended
six high schools and only played two games, only two
games of high school basketball. Dropped out of school at
the age of eighteen after his mother passed away from cancer.
His father served twenty years in prison. He completed his
(32:51):
ged in order to play junior college basketball, transferred to Maryland,
and was a number two pick in the nineteen ninety
nine an NBA draft. That is unbelievable. He played two
high school games. I thought that was absolutely bananas.
Speaker 1 (33:11):
Uh yeah, guys. So it's it's basically, there's gonna be
some numbers that are incorrect here, but to figure out
possessions because you're not gonna want to count them.
Speaker 2 (33:19):
It's like, what are we figure out possessions for?
Speaker 1 (33:20):
Because you're trying to figure out defensive efficiency and offensive efficiency.
The reason Auburn lost that game. It was the worst
statistical defensive efficiency game of their entire season, and the
reason being offensive rebounds twenty four offensive rebounds which they
gave up. And but that's that's essentially it. It's it's
points scored eighty three against your defense and then possessions
whatever it was, seventy five is gonna give you in
(33:43):
the one thirties. Evan Maya, I don't know about your
Tom Palm. What's his name, Ken Palm, Jim Palm. It's
in the one thirty range. On Kevin Maya's that's terrible.
There's bad, there's very bad, there's god awful. It was
god awful. So I don't think that happens again. Typically
they hover more towards the middle. I don't see Auburn
doing that again. The statistical season is out, and.
Speaker 2 (34:04):
We'll take a break. Maybe our worst segment of the
history of the pod. Well, listen, you randomly brought up
Steve Francis and it made me remember the tweet and
I had to go find it. It wasn't even that interesting,
and then you're breaking down stuff that people don't even understand.
Speaker 1 (34:20):
But listen, Ken Palm has cornered the market, and Evan
Maya is right there with him. Guess what sore losers.
Now is on to statistical season. We're gonna match those
guys with our own stats.
Speaker 2 (34:32):
Yeah, you know who had great stats? The Vanderbilt basketball
team on Saturday.
Speaker 1 (34:36):
Let me tell you you.
Speaker 2 (34:37):
Let me tell you man, I totally forgot I went
to the game on Saturday.
Speaker 1 (34:40):
I can figure out their effect.
Speaker 2 (34:43):
I don't give a dang about their efficiency, efficiency and
was disease. I'll figure it while you're doing You don't
need to figure it. We need to listen.
Speaker 1 (34:50):
I'm all in.
Speaker 2 (34:51):
So Saturday, man, we had a big day. Saturday, by
the way, we had a birthday party from ten to twelve.
Then we had baseball team meet up where we went
to a restaurant and it was thirty mile an hour
wins and we were sitting on the patio just getting
whipped by the wind. It was freezing cold. So we
could meet everybody on the baseball team. Then my son,
(35:12):
baby Box, he completed the reading challenge, yeah, where he
had to read twenty minutes a day and get up
to one hundred and eighty minutes, and he got either
four tickets to a Vandy's women's game or two tickets
to a men's game.
Speaker 1 (35:27):
Ooh, you gotta go women's and he said, Dawn, I
want to go see the boys. It's kidding, go guys.
Speaker 2 (35:32):
And so they were playing Missouri. I mean, what great game.
Missouri a top twenty five team, Vandy on the brink
of top twenty five, and they give us free tickets.
Speaker 1 (35:41):
I am in I watched it on my phone in
bed with Baser. I typically don't watch the video three D.
I just watched stats in bed. That was like four
o'clock in the afternoon. Yeah, we were taking a nap.
Speaker 2 (35:52):
Oh, my bet this Saturday. My bad, I forgot it
was Saturday. And we roll up there and we see
some of his friends from class and so we're all
sick together and Vandy is just sucking. They are like
one of eighteen from three. The game is like they
keep getting Oh, here goes Missouri on a little run.
They're up seven points Missouri and Vandy comes back down
by two. Oh.
Speaker 1 (36:12):
Then Missouri goes.
Speaker 2 (36:13):
On a run.
Speaker 1 (36:14):
Vandy was eight of twenty six I'm talking.
Speaker 2 (36:16):
About in the beginning, and Missouri started out like they
hit like five out of the first nine threes and
then they didn't hit one for the rest of the game.
Speaker 1 (36:23):
It felt like Missouri was nine of twenty two.
Speaker 2 (36:25):
That's what I'm saying. They were like four or five,
five of six, and then they went ice cold.
Speaker 1 (36:30):
But they're forty percent three point range. That ain't bad, No,
I understand that. And I was just like, you're having
trouble with statistical season anyway, let me tell you the story.
Speaker 2 (36:39):
Then there's like a minute left and Vandy is down
like four or five, and one of the families is like, hey,
we're about to take off. They start getting their jackets
and everything. Vandy hits a three, so they're down by two,
and I'm like, well, you're gonna look really dumb when
you're in the parking lot and you gotta turn around back
(37:00):
in because it's a tie ball game. We're headed the overtime.
They're like yeah, right, because then we foul. We found
Missouri smart and they make both free shows. They're down
by four.
Speaker 1 (37:09):
Vandy is They're like, oh yeah, we're really out of here,
so they head out. Vandy comes down, hits a three,
down by one with twenty seconds to go.
Speaker 2 (37:22):
Then we foul. They make both their free throws. They're
up three, and my wife's like, all right, guys, you
guys ready puts the sweatshirts on the kids, and it's like,
all right, we should leave. We should let's beat the traffic.
We gotta we gotta get out of here because we're
parked in the parking garage. And I was like, yeah,
but don't you want to see it because they call
time out. We want to see it. They want to
make it to overtime. Like ah, She's like, but we
gotta leave early because we don't want get stuck in traffic.
(37:44):
You know. Baby Box two is not feeling too good.
He feels like he's gonna got a fever. I'm like, yeah,
but we're gonna feel dumb. And and baby Box one
was like, I want to stay.
Speaker 1 (37:53):
I want to stay.
Speaker 2 (37:54):
I know. Ray says, al E always leave early, but
I don't abide by that rule. Hey, And so Vandy
comes out, drains a three. We're tied. We're tied with
six seconds ago. They dribble down, they throw it. Shoot,
we're going overtime. We're going overtime. And I look back
and here comes that family walking back in the building,
(38:17):
that one.
Speaker 1 (38:18):
That left early.
Speaker 2 (38:19):
Hey, guys, walcome back and they're like, eh, we've got
to the door. And we heard all the excitement we
turned back in. So dude, it was a phenomenal game.
Speaker 1 (38:26):
How many possessions do you think Missouri had? I need
it for to figure defensive?
Speaker 2 (38:31):
I don't know, but I just know this. That was
a fun game to watch.
Speaker 1 (38:36):
It was great. I would never I saw it and
I said, dude, Vandy's much Watch that quick kid. What's
the name? James Washington, James Harden, James Connors, damn name.
Speaker 2 (38:46):
I don't know, but I'm gonna tell you this. Quicker
than scot They're number twenty on Vandy, number two, Vandy
number twenty. He is phenomenal. Oh, Miggans, I don't know.
But there's one guy on their team, Hoggins. There's one
guy on their team. He thinks he's really good.
Speaker 1 (39:00):
We don't know a name.
Speaker 2 (39:01):
To save our nuts, dude, I'm all about anchor down.
That is my team.
Speaker 1 (39:05):
The one white kid played great, thirty thirty one, number twenty.
He played the game of his life for oh, for Missouri.
No our guy. Oh god, there's a white kid for Vanderbilt. Bigger, dude.
He never puts up seventeen.
Speaker 2 (39:16):
Oh, he was putting up points.
Speaker 1 (39:18):
He was above average.
Speaker 2 (39:20):
Let me tell you his name. I'll tell you his
name right here. Hoggins. That's it.
Speaker 1 (39:24):
Hoggins was a good boy. Who's the quick guard? Is
that James? That's James Harden Washington?
Speaker 2 (39:31):
Where is my guy? Did he not play yesterday?
Speaker 1 (39:34):
Come on, they didn't they didn't play yesterday.
Speaker 2 (39:36):
Oh my gosh. Vany who did they play? Many versus
Missouri basketball?
Speaker 1 (39:41):
Let's look at this up Hoggard Hoggard at twenty one man.
Hoggard was eleven manon put up twenty three. Who's that
quick guard? James Edwards?
Speaker 2 (39:51):
His number thirty name Jason Edwards. Jason Edwards.
Speaker 1 (39:55):
He is Phino. He's going the league.
Speaker 2 (39:57):
He is awful.
Speaker 1 (40:00):
He's so fast.
Speaker 2 (40:01):
Dude, I want where we.
Speaker 1 (40:03):
Got him from. No, I don't Colgate brush your teeth.
Know your stads, kids, dude, I'm telling you.
Speaker 2 (40:09):
Frush your teeth, brush your teeth. Let me tell you
about number one. I'm sitting there watching that damn game
on Saturday, and I'm like this dude thinks he is
the bee's knees. He thinks he's the best player on
the court. And he was like one of twelve from
the field. He had seven points. He was three and
twelve from the field and I'm like, and he's shooting
(40:30):
up these terrible shots, and I'm like, this dude thinks
he's so good. He had seventeen points on. You're not
letting me finish the story.
Speaker 1 (40:38):
Don't let the facts get in the way of a
great story.
Speaker 2 (40:40):
Don't let me finish my story without interrupting me. And
there's like three minutes ago and he dribbles into a
crowd with three people on him. I'm like, you know,
he's gonna try to steal it, and they pick his pocket.
And I look at this other dad and I go, dude,
one sucks. He drives me nuts. And the other dad
looks and goes, dude, that dude thinks he's NBA and
(41:03):
he is maybe w n B A. And I said,
I don't know why he thinks he's so good, because
he does nothing. And in the last two minutes and
then the five minutes overtime, he scored like, uh nine points,
and he carried the team, and he drained a couple
of big threes. I think he drained the three, that's
what That's what he said.
Speaker 1 (41:20):
He drained the three overtime No, and then over in
overtime he did the night night in Missouri almost came out.
Speaker 2 (41:28):
He did over time, he hit a three, put them
up like five or six. He won the very next possession,
Missouri came down and drained the three. I was like,
oh dude, you may put him night night a little
too early, a little too early.
Speaker 1 (41:41):
But the two times you should never do night night
is don't jinx night night with the kids because then
they'll wake back up, don't right jinks night night with
Piper because she'll wake back up. And don't jinx night
night in basketball until the game's over.
Speaker 2 (41:54):
Oh man, it was so fun and I had such
a blast. It was a great game, and I'm all
about anchored down. I don't even have another college basketball
team that I cheer for, Like, I don't know if
there's any other college basketball team on this planet that
I would cheer harder for than the Vanderbilt Commodorees. Anchor
freaking down.
Speaker 1 (42:12):
I can go ahead and run the numbers, though, we'll
take a break and we right back. So they put
up ninety two, and then you're gonna divide that by
how many possessions if you sit if you think there
was like eighty, here's the thing. And then times it
by one hundred. That's how he can get their defensive efficiency.
Speaker 2 (42:24):
Let me tell you this is how bad it's gotten
for me and batter's backs when I talked to him.
Speaker 1 (42:31):
Why are you talking about sex life?
Speaker 2 (42:32):
No, I'm talking about the Kansas Jayhawks basketball team.
Speaker 1 (42:37):
You guys are gonna miss the madness.
Speaker 2 (42:39):
So we're not gonna miss the madness, but we're gonna
be like a twelve seed.
Speaker 1 (42:41):
We're gonna guys are gonna be a Cinderella dude.
Speaker 2 (42:45):
We're gonna be in the playing game after being the
number one team in the damn country, Like we were
the number one team in.
Speaker 1 (42:50):
The country to start the Dickinson Hawkinson had another hell
of a game.
Speaker 2 (42:55):
But let me tell you what Dickinson did. No, no,
don't even blame Dickinson. Dickinson played alright against Houston. But
Dickenson did what Dickinson does. He dicked around and he
dicked it up.
Speaker 1 (43:06):
He always is.
Speaker 2 (43:08):
We don't shoot threes. We can't hit threes. Our guys
are wide open and they don't shoot them. But this
couite guy who's like five foot five, he gets on
the court and these monster of dudes from Houston jumping
at him. He's able to get his shot off, but
no one else on our team seems to be able
to shoot. That's the problem. kJ Adams can't shoot, Dwan
Harris can't shoot, Dick h Dickinson can't shoot. So you
(43:31):
have two players on the court that can shoot the ball.
How long has Harris been with them? Fifteen years?
Speaker 1 (43:37):
He's nobody in Kansas that can play basket.
Speaker 2 (43:40):
Dude. I was a senior in college when Dwan Harris
showed up in Lawrence. Okay, I'm just telling you, God,
and so they don't have to They just there's only
two guys you really have to guard because everybody else
kJ Adams, Hunter Dickinson and Harris, if they're not within
three feet of the basket, there's no point in guarding
them because they can't shoot it. Anyway. I am talking
(44:04):
to Battersbox about how depressed I am yesterday because it's
gotten to the point I don't even put on a
Kansas Jayhawks shirt.
Speaker 1 (44:11):
It's not when the game is not good around the kids.
Speaker 2 (44:14):
I don't even like, oh my gosh, I have to
wear my lucky shirt and I wear it until they
lose because they lose every other game. So there's no
point in getting a shirt and getting good luck going
because it doesn't matter.
Speaker 1 (44:24):
Kids aren't gonna remember your fandom for the Spurs. They're
gonna remember when dad was a poor sport, didn't put
the shirt on. They're gonna remember when the family didn't
have cable. They remember the bad times. They're gonna remember
how you were with this Kansas team in twenty twenty five.
Your kids will remember this. I know, and hey, I'm
gonna be a poor sport.
Speaker 2 (44:43):
And I do. I'm a poor sport. We get down
by like seven, I'm my go it's over. We're not
gonna winha.
Speaker 1 (44:47):
Don't remember me turning off the TV.
Speaker 2 (44:50):
And my boys will be like, oh mom, Mom, Kansas lost.
She's like, there's twelve minutes. Letting me goes yeah, but
dad said, there's no chance we're gonna win. There's no
chance we're gonna win. That's what they're gonna remember. That's
what they're gonna and I do it. I have very pessimistic,
gonna get very depressed. But Hunter Dickinson, I've been so
mean to him because he just does what Hunter Dickinson does.
He played fine on Monday night when we went to Houston,
(45:12):
and we went to the Fertida Center and we were
battling them. Cougars, Ah, cougars, shut up, except for he
did Hunter Dickenson things. We struggle to score on offense,
and Houston seems to get the ball and they go
on a five zero run. No problem. Every basket Kansas
gets it is like pulling teeth. It is such a
struggle to score the basketball. It's amazing that we don't
(45:35):
have anybody that can score the basketball. But anyway, we're
down by seven, down by seven, and we get it
and we score. We're down by five, and then we
stop them on defense. We score again. I think at three,
we're down two. Hell yeah, here come the Jayhawks and
we steal it on defense. Here we go, baby, we
(45:57):
got a chance to tie it. And we always art
the ball on the right side. Hunter Digginson is the
top of the key outside the three point line. We
throw it to him and he always swings it to
the left side. So he catches it at the top
of the key and without even looking, without even looking
to see if the guy is open, no look, he
(46:17):
just turns and automatically throws it to the left where
he's supposed to throw it.
Speaker 1 (46:21):
That's called mailing it in. Man.
Speaker 2 (46:23):
That's called not just being lack of a daysical and
not focusing.
Speaker 1 (46:27):
It's called seven years of this podcast. And this dude,
where's the post office is? We're mailing it in.
Speaker 2 (46:37):
And the Houston guy just jumps right in front takes
it full court. Doug, you very much.
Speaker 1 (46:43):
You can't do that with Houston. They're one of the
best defensive teams in the country.
Speaker 2 (46:46):
Trust to me.
Speaker 1 (46:46):
I know, does Ken Palm have him up there?
Speaker 2 (46:48):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (46:49):
I think Evan Maya has him top five?
Speaker 2 (46:50):
Yes, so there. Now, Now Kansas is down four. After
we had all the olden momentum, the crowd was quiet.
Now they're all loud. So that's all right. He turned
it over. Next play down, he goes in the post,
some guys guarding him up, and he just shoves him
to the ground because he's frustrated.
Speaker 1 (47:05):
Offensive offensive foul Offensiven Dickinson, Houston comes down, drains the three.
Speaker 2 (47:12):
We're down seven with three and a half to go.
Speaker 1 (47:14):
That's a swing.
Speaker 2 (47:14):
We went from two points down to seven points down
like that. Two mistakes by Hunter Dickinson and that sums
up a hundred Dickinson game. It's amazing. He played fine,
but two stupid plays in a row and it's over.
And that is the Kansas basketball season. I just cannot
express how disgusted I am and how sad I am.
(47:38):
And I talked to Pitts and he's a big Jayhawk,
and he goes, I'd even turn it on. But this
is where he gets a little crazy. He goes, it's
just sad that I care more TV.
Speaker 1 (47:47):
Brother.
Speaker 2 (47:48):
He said, it's sad that I care more about the
Kansas Jayhawks basketball than they care. I'm like, well, that's
not that's not accurate. They care. I mean, they really
do care. It's not that they don't care. And He's like,
I put up, I mean it looks like I have
more out there than they do. And I'm like, well
that's that's not true either.
Speaker 1 (48:02):
Brother. While they're on defense, Brother, I'm doing squats too.
Speaker 2 (48:05):
But I I it's just so like that. That sequence
summed up Hunter Dickinson and I was just as I'm
telling this to batters Box, He's just laughing because I'm like,
I don't even care about Kansas basketball this year. I'm not.
It doesn't even upset me anymore. And then I proceeded
to go on a fifteen minute rant about how pissed
off I am, so I guess I still do care.
Speaker 1 (48:22):
Guys, listen to this statistical saison. Do you know, March Madness,
how many times you gotta win to win the tournament? Six?
Six times and less?
Speaker 2 (48:29):
Unless you're like us and you're gonna be in the
playing game.
Speaker 1 (48:33):
And let's just make it to the final four. I'm
not even talking championships, so that means you need four wins.
The first two are absolutely simple, especially if you're a
one seed, if you're a duke, if you're a Texas Tech,
if you're a duke, if you're a Auburn. Okay, the
first two times you play are simple. You're gonna play
Fairly Dickinson and then you're gonna play Michigan. Those teams
(48:56):
are terrible, so your first two games are simple. The
third game is the one that can trip up the
big guys. The fourth game ends up being somebody that
upset it's.
Speaker 2 (49:05):
A Yale and ends up being a blowout.
Speaker 1 (49:07):
They're very simple, so remember this when you're watching your
team in March. First, too easy, Third, watch out for
that third game. It's your Elite eight game. It's your now.
One one gets you to the thirty two two wins
gets you to sixteen. It's it thirty two six, it's
your sweet sixteen game. That's the trip up Elite games easy.
Speaker 2 (49:29):
I'm just hoping that we win a game in the tournament.
Speaker 1 (49:31):
I'll hang up and listen.
Speaker 2 (49:33):
Man, I'm gonna read an email, and then we're gonna
go home.
Speaker 1 (49:35):
This is it, and I gotta get better at this
because what I want to do is I want to
be able to wall your bad mouth and Dickinson Hawkins
and whatever his name is. No, no, no, I want to
pull up, pull up, and then I can give you
the player efficiency.
Speaker 2 (49:48):
No for him, his player efficiency. He's like the fourth
rated player in all of college basketball this season. But
it's that's not adding up with your story, No no, but
dumb little plays like that are the difference. Like that's
what I mean. You can play five, but it's those
two little mistakes that just it unravels everything I know. Coach,
let me go to the email. Coachers, it's been forty
(50:10):
two days since the convention and I'm on forty two
days of a cough.
Speaker 1 (50:14):
They're gonna say they've not been drinking.
Speaker 2 (50:16):
I just wanted to be able to be happy again.
I just want to not worry about cough medicine. I
want to be able to walk a quarter of a
mile without coughing up along or making people look at
me like I'm bringing COVID. In twenty twenty, I hope
I don't ever find out who brought this plague to
Coaches Convention four. If I do, we may have problems
at the next convention. If I don't die first, It's
(50:38):
been a good run, Coaches. Everyone is invited to my funeral.
Some will be required to attend or be haunted. Keep
up the good work, fellas, with or without me. Taylor, Keleoway, Calloway, Callaway.
Speaker 1 (50:50):
Damn, dude, Baser's been getting on me. I've been blowing
my nose probably for a couple months.
Speaker 2 (50:55):
And that's not.
Speaker 1 (50:56):
Boger sugar, that's allergies. National is the worst to you.
Speaker 2 (51:01):
You guys have a good week, but.
Speaker 1 (51:03):
We broke down some sports.
Speaker 2 (51:04):
I mean, I have no idea, I mean but an
I mean, I just can't this Kansas team, I say,
I don't care. Then I watched the game and as
the game just goes and goes and goes. I just
get more depressed than borderpressed and the order pressed, like
we should be able to beat one of these teams.
I mean, Houston, they out rebound. They had like twenty
offensive rebounds. They took thirty more shots than Kansas because
they got the offensive rebounds so many times. It's like,
(51:27):
what are we doing?
Speaker 1 (51:27):
That was the difference in the Auburn game.
Speaker 2 (51:29):
Just grab the damn Oh my god, all right, eh,
I don't care, though, I'm not gonna get mad. I'm
not gonna get mad. I don't mind.
Speaker 1 (51:37):
And I mean, are you seeing anything different than Celtics
and Thunder playing in the NBA Finals that Cleveland all
of a sudden.
Speaker 2 (51:45):
The Lakers are good, dude, I mean I'm stop stop dude.
Speaker 1 (51:49):
No, I get through the number two seeds. You want
me to figure out their defense efficiency? The Lakers suck.
Speaker 2 (51:53):
No, no, no, no, they they their defense has been really
good lately.
Speaker 1 (51:56):
And I gotta say, if I see one more full
court pass from Luca to Lebron like guys that doesn't
win in the playoffs, like stop.
Speaker 2 (52:01):
I'm very I'm some heart center.
Speaker 1 (52:04):
I can't do one more full Corpez till Lebroad I
get They've played no defense. That doesn't win in Jude.
Speaker 2 (52:09):
No, no, no, they do. They have been playing defense. Jackson
Hayes has been great. Who else did they get Dorian
Finney Smith, He's been playing great. I'm just telling you
that I don't know what they're doing, but something's happening
on the defensive end, and it's working.
Speaker 1 (52:21):
I do want to say I feel terrible Dallas for
the Dallas Mavericks. Somebody says they're trying to tank because
they want to move to a different city. They're not
moving to another city, Vegas. They're not moving to Vegas.
They're not doing any of that. I Kyrie getting hurt,
and everybody's like, say, you shouldn't have traded Luca. If
Luca was there and Kyrie got hurt, guess what, it
(52:42):
wouldn't make a difference.
Speaker 2 (52:43):
They're not gonna win. You can't. That's just a it's
an injury. It happens that has nothing to do with
the Luca trade. It's called bad luck. Some people say karma.
I really believe if Anthony Davis came back and Kyrie
was there, they had a chance to win it all.
And now not only is this year shot, I think
next year is shot because Kyrie has to have a
(53:04):
cl surgery that's gonna take nine to ten twelve months.
Next year is over. That sucks. That sucks for the Mavericks.
I felt, I mean, I feel so bad. And Kyrie,
let me tell you, as much as I used to
bash him, he was bald. He has been fantastic in Dallas,
and now he's out.
Speaker 1 (53:25):
He's a stone cold killer. He's the reason that Cleveland
won the championship one year. He is he is, and
statistical citizen will support that.
Speaker 2 (53:33):
And Hunter Digginson telling me that he's the fourth most
efficient player in college basketball.
Speaker 1 (53:38):
You get the hell that's your boy, Ken Palm. He
doesn't know what the hell he's talking about.
Speaker 2 (53:41):
Gosh, but hey, if we make the Sweet sixteen, it'll
be a miracle. If we win a game, you'll make
the Sweet sixteen.
Speaker 1 (53:46):
The first two games of the easiest, the third You
understand why? No, you guys are gonna play who? You
know who you're gonna play first round? Tell me it's
gonna be somebody. It's not gonna be an SEC team.
It'll be You're gonna play Yale and guess who we
always used to We lose the butt nail. We lose
to Bradley, we lose the Yale, We lose all those cool.
Speaker 2 (54:07):
All of them, all of them.
Speaker 1 (54:09):
I mean, gosh, dude, you know who you're gonna play?
First round Bellmine and guess what. They're up the road
at Music Row, Lipscomb. That's who we're gonna play. And
they're gonna beat our butts. They're gonna beat our butts.
Speaker 2 (54:21):
Man, Oh my gosh, I got I'm sick. I'm sick.
