Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome in.

Speaker 2 (00:01):
I gotta say, coacher, you look very rested for spending
a weekend in Charleston.

Speaker 1 (00:07):
Well I do, thanks man, thank you. I slept all
day yesterday. Wait what Yeah, I wasn't there yesterday. We
took a five am flight out.

Speaker 2 (00:16):
I know it. I knew it.

Speaker 1 (00:18):
I knew it. I call it. You're nuts when you
do the I told Baser you did some late flight,
didn't you.

Speaker 2 (00:27):
No, I didn't do a late flight. I did a
five to twenty five pm flight. It was the last
it was, or I could have done a ten twenty
five direct flight, but five twenty five was the last
reasonable direct flight. And then it ended up getting delayed
till six thirty. And then we landed, and then there

(00:48):
was a plane at our gate, so we had to
wait Spirit Airlines. Uh so I ended up being at
my house. I got home at like ten five.

Speaker 1 (01:01):
That's wild, dude. You live a different life, man, It's
so funny. How do you do that after a bender
of a weekend? Dude, My anxiety and one flight issue
which you even had, could have pushed you back and
missed the show on Monday.

Speaker 3 (01:15):
Yeah, Ray, I'm willing to roll them, dice. No, It's
not even that you're a gambling man. It is more like, hey,
I can't control the airline. And if you're taking a
three day trip, if you leave at five am on
the third day, you only took a two day trip.

Speaker 1 (01:34):
Baser wanted to leave on Saturday because it rained all day.
She goes, you want to just move our flights up, bro,
we hit them for one two days, then you're out.
What do you gotta you put on roots, start a mortgage,
Like you gotta walk around to the Chamber of commer
What are you old you have to do in a city.
You're there, wam bam, couple drinks, couple walks, see you later.

(01:55):
But forty days and forty nights on Saturday it was
pouring the entire day.

Speaker 2 (02:00):
I get that. But suddenly you could have done I
don't know what there is to do in Charleston. If
there's a tour, you got a Segway tour, you could
have done it. You could have left at two o'clock
in the afternoon, had a morning to do, some brunch.
This that, But no I knew it. I called it.
I said, Ray took the first flight out of that sucker.

Speaker 1 (02:24):
I want to say the only other option was a
really late one, so that is why we did the
six am. And the airports are beautiful at that time.
There's no rush except for my uber. He was going
If a speed limit was forty, he was going thirty five.
If it was sixty, he was going fifty bizarrely slow,
which is fine, but he would take a turn because

(02:45):
in Charleston there's these two weird turns right before the airport.
It's not really an international airport. He was going so slow.
I thought his vehicle was gonna stop. And you just
look like us, guy backwards cap hoodie on the cops
are are gonna think you're drinking because you are going
so slow. Dude, you're good.

Speaker 2 (03:04):
Yeah. That's how my dad used to drive. Like when
he would have to take me to cross country practice
in the morning, he would tell me, I gotta wake
I'd had to wake him up, and then he'd fall
back asleep, and then when he'd get up and we'd
be ten minutes late and he'd go ten miles under
the speed limit. I was like, Dad, can we pick
up the pace a little bit? Like yesterday? We were
in his truck and batter's box looks at him and goes, hey,

(03:27):
if you don't get over in the middle lane, we're
gonna be here all damn day.

Speaker 1 (03:32):
Family.

Speaker 2 (03:35):
It was so funny because we were sitting at lunch
yesterday and we were out there in south Park Meadows
having a nice lunch on a patio at Waterloo and
there's a playground and we're talking. They're like, oh, why
didn't Ray come. I said, Oh, he's in Charleston. He's
enjoying a little three day vac three way. I didn't

(03:58):
say three way, I said three day vakes And I
said yeah. He goes, Oh, that sucks that.

Speaker 1 (04:03):
He didn't get to come.

Speaker 2 (04:04):
It's like, I don't know. I think he's gonna have
more fun in Charleston. It's a little three day vacation
for him. But I mean realistically, he probably took the
first flight out and my dad's like, why why would
he do that? And I was like, Ah, he's probably
freaking out about oh I got to get back on time.
And my dad looks at the clock. He goes, well,
your flight's in two and a half hours. You think
he's freaking out about that? You think he'd already be

(04:25):
at the airport. Oh yeah, I was like, oh, one percent,
he'd be at the airport.

Speaker 1 (04:31):
And what I was saying is there's just nobody at
the airport at that time. We had no problem for anybody.
We had two ubers pull up. The other guy thought
he was for us too. We're like, I have no
idea how that malfunction on the app happened. But no,
you're not our driver. You are. There was two cars
fighting over us at four am. And then then slowly
makes slower sin get to the airport. There's nobody there.
You don't have to talk to anybody. Nobody talks because

(04:53):
it's so early.

Speaker 2 (04:54):
Everybody's in there there looking at the floor mode.

Speaker 1 (04:56):
There's no food because they're not even restaurants open. That's terrible. No,
it's great. You can't eat you the first thing you
gotta do when you get up is eat bro Well,
then there was food that it did open, Burger King,
and there were seventy year old people. They went. So
we had the slow driver and then we had the
slow people ordering their food. It was one of those
touch screens. They were there probably for five minutes touching

(05:17):
this screen. Emo and Bezer. These are the things that
only happen when you're hungover. We both just look at
each other nod the head only when you're hungover. And
there's only two touch screens and it's mom and pops
are each on their own. They thought that'd be smarter
to split up. And it's just click click, click click, guys.
It's a sandwich, it's a drink, it's a coffee. There's

(05:38):
not a lot of options. Isn't like a full on spread.
It's burger King. You're gonna get hashy, you're gonna get
maybe some tots. Guys, have you seen the burger caing menu.
Maybe they got Cinni minies. I don't know, but I
mean it's not that difficult. Like well, I don't know
what they thought. They were looking for a lobster roll.
I mean they were maybe thinking it was gonna come

(05:59):
like some full of on catering thing. Guys, I'm telling
you right now, it'll be a Chris sandwich. It's either ham, bacon,
and an eggs of sorts in it, and it's just
one click and then you pay that easy man. See,
that's why I don't want to be at the airport
that early.

Speaker 2 (06:14):
I want option.

Speaker 1 (06:15):
Then we got the drinks, and all we wanted because
we ran out of drinks at the airbnb that weren't alcohol.
We left two twelve packs of beer and a bottle
of wine. Oh my god, we don't have to finish everything.
There's no reason to do that anymore. So we get
to the airport. All we wanted was a fountain drink.
Both our fountain drinks were flat, So we're drinking flat

(06:36):
fountain drinks at four am at the Charlestady Airport. Dude,
but nobody's talking to us. Okay, it's beautiful. We're just
chilling there. And then it's like throughout the airport, Spirit
Airlines is closed. It's like only when you're hungover, Like
what an entire airline just closed overnight? I know, only

(06:58):
when you're hungover.

Speaker 2 (06:59):
Where another place.

Speaker 1 (07:00):
We flew in and a hush drop came over the
crowd on the airplane. They're like, that's Spirit. That Spirit.
They don't operate anymore. We literally passed their planes, like
some of them they are taking off wheel They're no, yes,
they are. They were taking a ladder out. They were
doing some sort of service work by repainting them. I

(07:21):
think they're taking them apart.

Speaker 2 (07:23):
Oh, no, selling them for parts. It's like the scrap yard. Dude,
it's like, oh, they just take it, dude. Spiritual Airlines
was amazing. We did it once. Oh so cheap, Like
I don't care that it like, oh, you know, the
tables were small, the planes were older.

Speaker 1 (07:38):
Yep. Yeah, it was so small, it was so cheap.
It was so worth it. And then also there's always
a good fight at the ticket counter because they charged
for everything you bring on And there'll always be those
people that buy stuff in Vegas and they go, what
we have to pay for this? And they go, yes,
every bag is twenty five dollars, and then it's a fight.
Then they try to shove the bag underneath the person's wheelchair. No,

(07:59):
I'm sorry, it's twenty five per bag. Seen that one before.

Speaker 2 (08:03):
Yeah, So we're gonna Misspearit Airlines. Maybe they'll get bought
up by someone, someone will invest you know. I don't know.
But we need to start the show, yeah, dude, because
we got so much to talk about.

Speaker 1 (08:14):
I've already started it.

Speaker 2 (08:15):
I bet Charleston you.

Speaker 1 (08:17):
Got story after story after story, so I could give
you a couple. I can give you a couple of
stories from Austin. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I was.

Speaker 2 (08:24):
In Austin for the weekend. Man, I don't know if
you knew that.

Speaker 1 (08:27):
You were in Austin and then I was in Austin
to the east coast, I was in Charleston. Oh you
had rain.

Speaker 2 (08:33):
I had rain. I had rain.

Speaker 1 (08:36):
Oh I had rain, the raincoat rain. I had rainco
rain where you have to run from the Airbnb to
the Uber or you're gonna be drenched. Oh. I had
that flooding rain where you have to put up sandbags.

Speaker 2 (08:52):
I had that.

Speaker 1 (08:53):
Well, we didn't our old airbnb.

Speaker 2 (08:55):
Oh I didn't have that.

Speaker 1 (08:56):
This one was higher ground.

Speaker 2 (08:57):
I was just trying to make it. If you had it,
I wanted to have it.

Speaker 1 (09:00):
We're gonna do it live. We Oh the what dude? Dude,

So I'll give you the sports facts, my sports opinions,

Speaker 1 (09:16):
Sports genius, y'all it says. And I'm from the North.
I'm an alpha male. I live in the North side
of Nashville, baser, two acres, two kids, at Vanderbilt defrosting
just in all weekend was sending us rage texts, like
you guys, don't have any friends. The Dodds left you,
I left you, and Heather left you. How many friends
does Ray have? Over? Under two and a half. At
one point on Saturday, Baser just texted him, are you okay, bro?

Speaker 2 (09:41):
He's on one.

Speaker 1 (09:42):
Twenty four hours later, he responds, I think.

Speaker 2 (09:45):
So I'm gonna text him today. I'll be like, hey,
you doing okay? Just checking in on you. It's always
good to check in on your friends, guys. Like we joke,
we laugh, but always check in on your friends. You
never know they're doing. Just say, hey, how you doing today?

Speaker 1 (10:02):
I'd say we burnt both cities down between you guys
and I heearten. I mean it looked like they just
released the circus animals. Oh you guys. Some of the
videos you guys post, like Amy's licking confetti, I'm like, wow,
we really did just send it out our circus animals.
Here you go Loston, watch them dance.

Speaker 2 (10:23):
I mean came Brown did the explosion confetti and it's
just coming down and coming down. I mean it came
down for a good five minutes, like it was just
like still coming down. And then Amy had the great
idea to let me try to catch some in my mouth.

Speaker 1 (10:35):
Uh, but you know how it looks though, and like
she looked.

Speaker 2 (10:39):
Like, yeah, she looked like like a little crazy, Like
she looked like there we wasn't all there upstairs.

Speaker 1 (10:44):
She started licking windows.

Speaker 2 (10:46):
Dude, it was great. Let me tell you, dude. I
got off the plane Thursday, right, got off the plane
la and no not lax at Abia, and I had
to go get my golf clubs because it's time to
play golf on Friday. It's time to play golf on Sunday.
And their uber location is about a mile and you

(11:08):
have to drag those heavy golf clubs down, up, up
the ramp, up the elevator, all the way across the
parking garage, I mean, then through another parking garage, then
up another set of stairs and you're finally there. So
freaking annoying. Their setup is terrible, terrible. Charleston's was great.

(11:30):
It took two seconds to get to our car.

Speaker 1 (11:31):
Oh really, but then he picked us up in the
middle of the road and he got yelled at by
the attendant there at the airport. Just can't happen again,
I wrote down your license plate. Can't happen again. You're
on camera. We got your license plate down. I might
welcome to Charleston, thank you low country ha Govna. But
our driver spoke Spanish. He didn't even understand what he
was saying.

Speaker 2 (11:52):
So yeah, it doesn't matter.

Speaker 1 (11:53):
The whole time we listened to tiahano Oh that's not bad.
Did you find anything good? He controlled it all, but
there was no cammunication whatsoever. So I was like, are
we being flagged right now? Are they looking for our
license plate? That guy was just screaming at us.

Speaker 2 (12:06):
Oh yeah, that got your anxiety going to start off
the trip. So you stop at the liquor store on
the way to the airbnb. No big deal, I uh.
So then I hop into Uber and I say, take
me to cousin Andrew's house, m because you know what
I'm doing at cousin Andrew's house.

Speaker 1 (12:21):
Not the downtown scene, Nope.

Speaker 2 (12:23):
He lives out in the you know, outskirts in a
little south of town. And I pull up to that
house and I jump out. He comes out, helps me
carry my bags in, see his wife, and I'm like.

Speaker 1 (12:35):
Where is that baby? So this was a baby tour.

Speaker 2 (12:42):
Baby's napping. Oh all right, ay, it'll be up in
a minute, right, we'll see, we'll see. About an hour
later we hear.

Speaker 1 (12:49):
Where Okay, get to the highlights, coach, and here comes
the baby, one month old, probably about ten pounds of
pure baby.

Speaker 2 (13:05):
And he just comes out there.

Speaker 1 (13:06):
He's got little eyes open, and he hands them to
me and I get to meet the baby that we
have been waiting to meet for the last thirty days.
He's your cousin. Yeah, I haven't even met some of
my cousin's kids, Like, it's your own kid. Who kids are?

(13:28):
I think my cousin has multiple kids I've never met before. Coach,
I forgot. He's your cousin. He's your brother. Wow, a
big baby. It's not even your half blood or sibi blood.

Speaker 2 (13:50):
Well, yeah it is. He's my cousin. So he has
the same blood.

Speaker 1 (13:54):
You had only a couple days in Austin, and you
wasted a little stretch bit of it going on a
trek to meet the baby. Ad Us. It wasn't just
it wasn't just a little slippery one hour. That's what
I'm trying to go out, slipper of the pie. There's
almost so much time.

Speaker 2 (14:17):
One hour turned into two hours.

Speaker 1 (14:19):
Oh gosh, what a terrible first step. Two hours turned
into three hours. Three hours turned into four hours. Well
you gotta get back. There's gotta be something for iHeart,
you have to do.

Speaker 2 (14:33):
Four hours turned into five hours just holding and looking
and enjoying that little baby and celebrating the.

Speaker 1 (14:43):
New joy that is baby Adley. It was amazing. Geez,
where were your obligations? Ah, they weren't chill the next night,
I mean because it looked like all the videos that
you guys played a lot of pool, man, I mean
it was as pool like a big board again, because man,
I saw bones with a stick. You had a stick

(15:03):
in your hand. One picture Amy had a stick. You
guys were just playing a lot of pool. I saw
Shaboozie playing pool, Like is pool that fun? Oh?

Speaker 2 (15:11):
It's fun? Man? That the pool halls down there, they're
really they're bid big business.

Speaker 1 (15:16):
They built the whole photo shooter on you guys playing
pool with each other. I didn't see the pictures in
this pool. This you just Austin Texas. I think pool babe, Like,
why didn't they get you guys on a steer or something,
throw you on a horse, slap your ass? What are
they doing pool? In a pool haul? And it would

(15:39):
show each one of you guys do your pool shot?

Speaker 2 (15:41):
Really they did.

Speaker 1 (15:43):
It's a video and it's and you're like, nice shot, bones,
And then you did one and dude, you almost missed
the ball entirely and then it just like I think
they photo edited it and then it made your the
whatever the six ball go in, but like you had
a terrible shot.

Speaker 2 (15:58):
Whoa, I know, I didn't.

Speaker 1 (15:59):
I have a terrible shot. I missed by an inch.
And I'm like, dude, had no idea pool was this thriving?

Speaker 2 (16:06):
I haven't seen that. I know. We did the pool shoot, and.

Speaker 1 (16:09):
Then there's a photo shoot of you guys hauling a
pool table, and is pool the next pickleball? One? Am
I missing out on? It was just such a random sport.
It would be like you and me playing what's that
little I don't know, what's the boosball? Like you kind
of look like a douche playing foosball, and then we

(16:31):
just base a whole photo shoot around it.

Speaker 2 (16:34):
I still here, you see that. I haven't seen the pictures.

Speaker 1 (16:36):
It was all over the gram because I didn't just
see one here, it was multiple. So I was like,
good gosh, how long were they filming these pool scenes for? Oh?

Speaker 2 (16:45):
The pool scene probably took about six minutes. Okay, wasn't long.
It wasn't as long as I was with the baby.
Then I jumped in an uber because cousin Andrew's like, hey,
I'll drive you over to Carrots. I was like, dude,
you got this little bundle joy you gotta put into bed.
You gotta six am flight tomorrow. You're going to NYC
for a wedding. You don't have time to drive me.

(17:05):
I need to get out of your hair so you
can go to bed. So I jumped into an uber
headed to Garrett's. Got to Garrett's. He welcomed me with
open arms. His wife was already in bed, no shoes
in the shower.

Speaker 1 (17:17):
We had another baby.

Speaker 2 (17:18):
His son was already in bed. And Garrett was curled
up on the couch watching the Denver Nuggets and the
Minnesota Timberwolves on Thursday night. Yes it was it was
game whatever. When Minnesota eliminated Denver.

Speaker 1 (17:32):
First time watching Denver, where's all their starters? It was
Murray and Djokik. Where's the other cast?

Speaker 2 (17:37):
To carew Ryan Christian starts, but they paid him one
hundred and twenty five million dollars.

Speaker 1 (17:42):
Sucks.

Speaker 2 (17:43):
They paid him. Wow, they paid him one hundred and
twenty five million dollars. Not the best use of one
hundred and twenty five million dollars.

Speaker 1 (17:51):
I'm still learning the NBA. I haven't watched it all year.
But the tee Wolves don't have Randall, don't have that
boy Edwards, and they played phenomenal. They hustled. The Nuggets
are just terrible. Get them out of the playoffs.

Speaker 2 (18:04):
They are They're out. They're out.

Speaker 1 (18:05):
They're bad.

Speaker 2 (18:07):
So then Garrett, we go to bed and we wake
up Friday and it's time for some golf. Garrett, Greg,
Jacob and myself and man, I'm gonna tell you all
about that round right after this.

Speaker 1 (18:21):
Well, I mean, I hope you're able to fit in
some of the iHeart Festival obligations with all the golf
and you are doing.

Speaker 2 (18:27):
Wake up Friday morning and it's monsooning.

Speaker 1 (18:33):
And hit us. Then Saturday it was the same storm.

Speaker 2 (18:36):
It was the same storm.

Speaker 1 (18:37):
Man, I said, get the arc. It rained the whole day.

Speaker 2 (18:43):
It rained, it was coming down. It was monsooning, And
we hit up Greg and we hit up Jacob like,
what do you boys want to do? Well, we ain't
playing golf. We know that smart, and so we found
a simulator, a golf simulator, to go hit golf balls
at some little business that their business is you can

(19:04):
play any course. It's on a simulator. And let me
tell you what's really stupid. Let me tell you what
is absolutely stupid. We did go to you know, Taco
Deli on the way there and get some tacos. Then
we show up at the simulator and I'm gonna tell
you what is really stupid. A simulator. Yeah, it is
so stupid. Yes, like I get it, Like when it's

(19:29):
raining outside, you want to hit golf balls, you want
to hang out with your boys. And we did it,
but we were all I don't know if any of
us had fun, there's no way. It just had to
be the camaraderie we had. We had fun, laughing and joking,
but it was like we didn't enjoy the golf. Like
Greg's a good golfer and he was like plus fifteen.

Speaker 1 (19:51):
On five holes. I mean, I just don't think it's accurate. Well,
you play the Masters, That's what I'm saying. Oh, y'all,
you want to play Augusta. And we were just like okay, this,
so we we what course did you play a muni
we played somewhere over in Ireland. Man, dude, why didn't
you take them to one of our munis. You would
have known the course.

Speaker 2 (20:11):
They didn't know that. They didn't have those on there.

Speaker 1 (20:12):
Man, you'd have known all the little tree branches and
dirt spots.

Speaker 2 (20:16):
I would have known that. I would have known the
ins and outs. So we played on the simulator and
we're all just getting frustrated. We're all just getting pissed off.

Speaker 1 (20:24):
There's no way you played eighteen holes. No, we played
like ten I call it. There's no way. There's no way.

Speaker 2 (20:29):
And then we started playing closest to.

Speaker 1 (20:31):
The pin, who can hit it the hardest.

Speaker 2 (20:34):
So we're we get some part three over somewhere and
it's like there's rot like a mountain in the background.
It's kind of an island green, and only two people
hit the green out of six shots. We got three
shots each. I guess three son twelve shots. There was
two balls on the green. So yeah, great, let's do

(20:56):
something else. So we're gonna do a challenge where there's
these cars and you hit them and you bowl them
up and you get points. And it made no damn
sense either, like one person would hit one car and
it'd blow.

Speaker 1 (21:06):
Up six oh on the simulator.

Speaker 2 (21:08):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (21:08):
Wait, so you turned a golf simulator into a donkey Kong.

Speaker 2 (21:11):
Yeah. And then the next person would hit one car
and only one car would blow up. And we were like,
I don't understand.

Speaker 1 (21:17):
Oh, you hit it with the golf balls. Yes see,
that's actually a better option.

Speaker 2 (21:21):
Yeah. It was just weird.

Speaker 1 (21:22):
It wasn't enjoyable. It was very frustrating. I think it's
more of a drinking culture that those It's not really
the betterment of the golf game.

Speaker 2 (21:31):
Yeah, I think that's it.

Speaker 1 (21:32):
But there were people in there, like actually practicing their
golf game. Losers.

Speaker 2 (21:37):
They were sitting there and doing their strokes and typing it.
You know, they had their stats up there and look
like they were probably members. They come there all the time. Okay,
we would have much rather been on the golf course.
And we're like, all right, dude, let's let's go.

Speaker 1 (21:48):
How was the talent?

Speaker 2 (21:51):
Uh yeah, there was nothing but uh sausages. Oh yeah,
good demo.

Speaker 1 (21:57):
Yeah, all sausage. You were at the places that the
sausage was going. Why would you not go downtown Sixth Street,
the Ranch, dog Wood West six Well, this was.

Speaker 2 (22:08):
Ten o'clock in the morning on a Friday. Man, what
do you want me to do?

Speaker 1 (22:11):
I don't see a problem.

Speaker 2 (22:12):
Uh yeah, that's true. And it was raining. There wasn't
much talent out in the rain. I'm telling you it
rained and rained and rained and rained and rained, and
so you know, the iHeart golf outing canceled.

Speaker 1 (22:25):
Oh they did.

Speaker 2 (22:26):
It was raining, dude, month sooning.

Speaker 1 (22:28):
So what did they do? What did everybody else do?
Just hold up in a hotel room. I guess they
just hold up in the hotel room. You didn't text them?
What are y'all doing? No?

Speaker 2 (22:35):
Not really interested. I'm with Garrett, greg and Jacob. Dude,
I got all the dudes I need.

Speaker 1 (22:39):
Like I was gonna say, they must have not left
their hotel room.

Speaker 2 (22:42):
They must have just stayed in their room room service, yep.

Speaker 1 (22:45):
And then those should be should be some good stories.

Speaker 2 (22:48):
And then so we get done and in the same
parking lot, we go get some Mexican food at Loupe Tortilla.

Speaker 1 (22:55):
What in a million, No, Loupe Tortilla. We get the
beef a hetas, two pounds of beef vedas and oh
my gosh, let me take you those fetas were phenomenal.
You bring something back, No eight, we eate all two pounds, dude,
we've smashed it. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (23:10):
And then it was like, all right, now, what are
we gonna do? Well, it's raining outside, so I guess
I'll drop you off of your hotel.

Speaker 1 (23:17):
I was gonna say, what are you gonna do? Just
eat your way around town?

Speaker 2 (23:20):
Yeah, so Garrett, Garrett dropped me off at the hotel.
And don't worry, I got my big old golf clubs
because I brought my golf clubs on the play and
paid forty five dollars to get them down to Austin
so I could hit on a stupid simulator.

Speaker 1 (23:32):
Well do you have to do an expensive uber for
the golf clubs? You probably did exl I did excel brutal. Uh,
it's all right, it's work pace for it. Oh yeah, yeah,
that'd be undred dollars a day less.

Speaker 2 (23:43):
Yeah. And then uh so I got back to the
hotel and it's just raining, so I can't go for
a walk, can't go explore my city.

Speaker 1 (23:52):
So what am I gonna do? I guess I'll just
lay down and taking that man dah. You see, I
should have told Billy to pick you up in the Rari. Yeah,
so I took a three hour now yuah, he had
a ball. It must have been when it wasn't rainy,
or maybe he got soaked too. I don't think Billy
did much because he was at the gym. He was
dicking around too. Yeah, yeah, he was keeping us updated.
He's like, why didn't I get invited to Charleston? Really?

(24:13):
We invited you one time when you were drunk. He's like,
oh yeah, I turned you guys down. And then he goes,
you guys want to go to Bali. I'm like, Billy,
we could do Charleston one day only because it matched
up with iHeart. We can never do Bali for two weeks.
He's going for half a month. Oh really, yeah, Billy,
uh No, we actually can't. We don't get to pick
our own vacations. Thanks though, dang. But then he further

(24:35):
Texas again. Hey guys, seriously, here's the itinerary. Would love
to have you guys swing by a couple of days. Billy,
isn't Bali halfway across the world. We're going to come
for a weekend.

Speaker 2 (24:45):
You would fly there, spend four hours, get back on
the plane, fly back. That would be your two day weekend.

Speaker 1 (24:50):
Man, we're like, you get we picked the cities that
are doable in a two day span.

Speaker 2 (24:56):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (24:57):
Well that flight, you gain an hour, it's you're there
in twenty minutes. We're bali Charleston. Oh I mean we
were like gained hours. Oh you don't gain an hour,
you lose an hour coming back. You gain Yes, I
understand that. Yeah, but then you jump ahead on it.
It's like the flight was nothing. It was like a
ten minute flight. That's pretty legit. Yeah, I like that. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (25:18):
So anyway, so then we have a party on Friday
night and I heeart party with clients and everybody and
all the pictures. We roll up to that, Hey, how

He goes.

Speaker 1 (26:25):
Ray says, I'm cool. Lunch is the one that gets
pissed off. I'm like, wow, Ray sold me out, Okay cool.
Does that sound like something I would say? And then
he goes, no, he don't really say that exactly. That's
how you know when people are lying, when you're like
that speech pattern doesn't sound like something they would say. Yeah,
So the party's great, but also it's funny seeing pictures
of you guys with people from my heart that you

(26:47):
never hang out with otherwise, this one weekend in Austin,
you guys are all best friends, best friends. Man, what
are we doing? Why don't you guys hang out at

Speaker 2 (27:00):
I don't know, but at that party, you didn't see
any pictures of the guy that used to be on
the pod. He they he had to leave. They left
about fifteen minutes into the party. They went to a
softball game. Oh okay, yeah they went to so they
were out and then the boss was having an after party.

Speaker 1 (27:18):
Geez, and he's like, you guys coming to the after party?
You guys coming to I guess I'm coming to after party.
I'm really supposed to go to dinner with Chess Day
and Garrett, so I guess I'll come for a minute.
But like it was like a sanctioned or at a
hotel room.

Speaker 2 (27:34):
No, like at a bar.

Speaker 1 (27:36):
Okay, at a bar, because that's actually pretty baller. If
one of the up aboves is like, hey, you want
to come to my hotel room like party, Like we've
done that before. Yeah, you remember we first moved to town.
I remember we went to some hotel room party with
a bunch of labels.

Speaker 2 (27:52):
We haven't been invited back.

Speaker 1 (27:53):
Like sitting on the bed talking to Eric Pasley, You're like,
where am I and what are we doing?

Speaker 2 (27:58):
What is going on?

Speaker 1 (28:00):
Can you hit me a pillow for my back? His
bed is a little bit sore.

Speaker 2 (28:04):
Hey, can you move over? The couch only fits three.
I know we're doing to squeeze four.

Speaker 1 (28:08):
Beers sitting out of bed with Eric Pasley.

Speaker 2 (28:10):
Yeah, I mean it was very strange, man. And so
I go to we go to this party and we
walk in and it's just like a bunch of records
of people standing around. And then I look at Amy
and I'm like, you ready to leave? She goes, yeah,
I'm ready to leave. And then Morgan's like, I'm ready
to leave, but I think I'm gonna stay. But wait,
can I go to dinner with you? And I'm like, yeah,

(28:31):
you can go to dinner. Just let me look at
the menu. Oh, there's nothing for me to eat there.
I guess I'm gonna stay, but I kind of want
go back to the hotel. Well, I said, I'm calling
an uber right now because I've got to go to dinner.
I've got dinner reservations with Garrett and chest Day and
Garrett's son, so we gotta go.

Speaker 1 (28:47):
You put down some food in Austin, like a free
story is started with we got some food?

Speaker 2 (28:53):
Yeah, And I mean, I don't even know why I'm
going over. This isn't even highlight, dude.

Speaker 1 (29:00):
It doesn't need to be a highlight. I haven't been
to Austin in ten years, dummy, I know.

Speaker 2 (29:05):
But I want to get to Charleston and we're gonna
run out of time. Already have an hour in we
can punt a Wednesday. So Amy gets in the uber
with me.

Speaker 1 (29:13):
But why was Morgan? So? I don't indecisive.

Speaker 2 (29:16):
I think she wanted to be part of the party crowd,
but it wasn't fun enough. But it wasn't fun enough.
Was she ever even invited to your dinner? I said,
you come to dinner?

Speaker 1 (29:24):
Got it? I was like, you're inviting yourself?

Speaker 2 (29:27):
And so but then she ends up. So I told Garrett, hey,
can you change the reservation to five? So he changed
the reservation of five. Then Morgan canceled, So then we're
back down to four.

Speaker 1 (29:36):
What place? Ah, I don't know? The oh Fig Newton
Fig Fig Pig fig.

Speaker 2 (29:43):
Something fig.

Speaker 1 (29:44):
There's a fig in Charleston.

Speaker 2 (29:46):
Really, what do they got?

Speaker 1 (29:47):
It's got a bunch of leafs on the door. It
looks like it's in BALI but what kind of food?
I I didn't go. Oh it was too expensive.

Speaker 2 (29:54):
It was right by the broken spoke. Oh, so we
weren't downtown. I had to take an uber a little
outside out the town Red River, and so we went there.
And so I had to I had to drop Amy
off at the hotel. And I told the uber driverer,
hey man, can you just take like a one block
detour drop her off at the hotel? If I go
the wrong way, Uber will call me for safety reasons.

(30:16):
I'm like, well, how do I add a stop stickler?
And he goes, just do it on the app. I'm like, dude,
I don't see it here on the app.

Speaker 1 (30:22):
I you know you need baser bezeer and know how
to do all that stuff.

Speaker 2 (30:25):
And he's like, I'm sorry, I don't want to get
in trouble with Uber. I cannot go out of my way.

Speaker 1 (30:30):
I'm like, stop the car, stop the car. She's got
to get out there. What hotel they have you at?
W hell?

Speaker 2 (30:35):
Yeah, And so she was one block from the hotel
at the bar. By the time the uber stopped, we
were two and a half blocks from the hotel, so
Amy lost ground by getting in the uber with me raining.
Still no, it stopped raining. Finally stopped raining at like
probably seven o'clock.

Speaker 1 (30:54):
So it seems like you guys were filled. On Saturday.
There was a lot of lollygaggons.

Speaker 2 (30:58):
Lollygaggon and and I forgot to say. On the way
over to the after party for the Boss, I was like, man,
I'm supposed to play golf on Sunday. You think the
course will dry up? And he goes, huh, I'm playing
tomorrow morning seven am. You want in. I'm like, what,
it rained all day to day.

Speaker 1 (31:13):
He goes, yeah, but we're gonna try at seven am tomorrow.

Speaker 2 (31:24):
I'll be there. And then I go to dinner with
Garrett and Chess Day and Garrett's kid, and the funniest
thing ever. I mean, the food was great, but then
they're like, hey, man, you know, like we're having a
competition day. We're trying to sell bumps of caviar. Stop,
and we're like, did you say a bump of caviar?

(31:44):
So of course we start making cocaine jokes, right, We're like,

I'm gonna get a bump.

Speaker 1 (31:53):
But also they're hitting you with a hard cell at dinner.

Speaker 2 (31:56):

Speaker 1 (31:57):
Stop. It was. It was very weird, and and we
were like, oh, we were telling Chessnay, hey, you know
you gotta snort it, dude, because it's a bump.

Speaker 2 (32:05):
It's a bump of caviar. He snorted.

Speaker 1 (32:07):
He's like, no, you don't snort it.

Speaker 2 (32:09):
You don't snort it.

Speaker 1 (32:10):
And they come out and this dude has this bowl
of ice and he has the caviar on that ice
and he's talking about how it's from skinning navy because
it's colder there, so you're gonna see the white and
blah blah blah.

Speaker 2 (32:24):
I don't ask me.

Speaker 1 (32:25):
They're a little more cultured, yes, I whatever. And then
he goes, right, you're gonna hold out your hand and
I'm gonna put it right here. On your Oh my gosh,
so is this guy serious? That's his job.

Speaker 2 (32:39):
He literally put it on his hand like it was
a bump.

Speaker 1 (32:46):
Who all bought it? Was? It? Just chesty? And me
and Garrett are dying, dude, like like like we were
joking about it being a bump, but it was really
a bump, Like it was really a bump of freaking

(33:07):
puts it honest? Was the kid allowed to Garrett his dad?
His dad wouldn' let him a bump? It was did
you not want to party? He's on his head and
then he sucks it up. He gives him the okay

(33:27):

Speaker 1 (33:52):
That's how you sell stuff around kids. You call it

It was so awkward, and I was like, man, you know,

Speaker 1 (34:04):

Speaker 1 (34:37):
I really want to get to the highlight, like iHeart

has been the highlight. What has this been? You gave

time is at eight four and a half hours to
play eighteen thirty minutes to get back to the hotel.
That's one I have to be at the daytime stage
at two not going to make it. So I hit

eighteen and me make it in time for the iHeart
daytime stage.

Speaker 1 (35:20):

time at iHeart it was nothing exciting, like literally nothing
exciting that I can think of happening backstage, nothing crazy
besides shooting pool.

Well, I have the question though, Yeah, did our commercial
air on the jumbo tron? It did it? Did it?

Speaker 2 (37:56):

Speaker 2 (38:05):
Lame one?

Speaker 1 (38:05):
Okay, I don't even care. Then blame one. We did
a funny one. I wonder if I can play it
on here.

Speaker 2 (38:10):
Because the boss e f mm hmm, she said, oh
my god, that one was so hilarious. I told him
that some one, but they didn't go with it. She goes,

You should throw that one on the gram because that
one's gonna get a lot of love. People are gonna
enjoy that.

Speaker 1 (39:15):
It would have been a great, great addition to the concert,
but it didn't make it. And that was that. When
it played on the jumbo tron, we get some booze.
No I I was somebody threw their beer at me. Well,
they said, you guys saw it. That podcast is boring.

(39:36):
He talks about himself going to get fight. He does,
That's all he talks about. You talk about anything sports related.
Did you see any of the others, like, did feel
yourself happy? I didn't see them. I literally didn't see them.
Morgan's take me personally or didn't see it? Okay, upload,
what did you do? Just go backstage and you're just
like shooting pool like you didn't even experience this. Going

(39:56):
next year, somebody's got to experience. No, no, no. I
would do the thing on Hulu.

Speaker 2 (40:00):
Then I'd go out and watch a few songs, and
I had to go back there and be ready for
Hulu because they were nervous. They would make you be
there ten minutes early. Did you sign a deal with
Hulu and Disney Plus? I was on both And then
my kids saw me do the intro on Hulu and
to give him a shout out, I did THEO hoo.
That was my signal to them saying, hey, I'm talking

(40:22):

five second Hulu hit. And then my niece and nephew,
my sister's kids, they watched by eleven fifteen Hulu hit.

Speaker 1 (40:59):
And when I know, you can't talk a lot about it,
you signed an NDA with Hulu or what.

with eeheart, they're gonna be respectful. And then we're just
like shouldering these people going for high fives and bro hugs. Oh.

Speaker 2 (41:57):
The other guy, the other guy that used to be
on the pod that I forgot his name, but he
was like, you know, they hate that when you do that, right,
I'm like, what do you mean, he goes, Dude, you're
sitting there yelling their name and they just totally ignore you.
They hate that.

Speaker 1 (42:07):
I think it's so obnoxious. They actually like it. I
agree with I think it becomes funny. It's not the
creepy like lurking. It's actually funny when somebody's yelling their name.
Now you know they're just being obnoxious, that's funny.

Speaker 2 (42:18):
I think it's funny too, because I think if I
was just standing there like, hey, there's there, Oh my gosh,
do you guys see Shaboozi back there?

Speaker 1 (42:26):
Instead, I'm like shiboz like so he knows they know
that I am doing that. Instead of doing it creepily,
I'm out front letting them know, hey, I am doing that.
Like Carly Pierce was walking the red carpet and I
peached my head out between the curtains and I was like,
there's Carly Pierce on the red carpet. There's Carly Pierce
on the road behind the curtain. So you have all

(42:48):
the pressed people with my kids. My phone has them
in it, and I'm just poking up from me. You
needed that picture that could save our podcast. You get
that picture.

Speaker 2 (42:58):
It was great, man, I mean it was fun.

Speaker 1 (43:00):
I'm just trying to think Shaboozie was great. Uh.

Speaker 2 (43:04):
Luke Brian was there and didn't really see Luke Brian backstage.
He must have just come in and out, like, I
don't know, I didn't see coorse.

Speaker 1 (43:09):
He's not gonna be chilling. What's he think? Luke Bryan
hangs out with Dylan Scott like stop. But Kane Brown
came side stage and watched a couple of the performers. Okay,
so his private jet was scheduled later. Luke Bryan in
and out?

Speaker 2 (43:24):
What else? Anything else extraordinary?

Speaker 1 (43:26):
I also love that one picture we take where it's
all twenty artists together and Bones is in there with it.
It's like, why does iHeart have to get all those
artists in the same picture together, because you know they
hate it. They all look miserable, do they.

Speaker 2 (43:39):
I didn't see the picture. I don't know where you
see these pictures on the internet, man, because I'm like,
that's funny.

Speaker 1 (43:44):
They took a lot of pictures of us, like doing
the Hulu stuff, and I haven't seen a damn one
yet because I would like to post some, but I
don't have any. It's like some of these photos, well,
let's not force it, but we don't have to have
Amy with a poolstick all bent over a pool table,
Like who designed that photo? Like, don't need to have that, guys.
You can just say iHeart have them ride a bull,

(44:05):
you know? Like, how is that Center? Though it's pretty dope,
I still awesome. Moody Center's great, man, see because I
could tell you how it sounds at the Irwin but
I wouldn't even know how the how the acoustics were, Oh.

Speaker 2 (44:16):
It sounds fine.

Speaker 1 (44:16):
Man.

Speaker 2 (44:17):
The crowd was loud.

Speaker 1 (44:17):
It was great.

Speaker 2 (44:18):
They were cheering, they were having a good time. I
mean drunk. A lot of drunk people, A lot of
drunk people. Saw my friend Mitch h that I went
to college with. We used to be orientation leaders at UTSA,
and there she was at the Moody Center and she's
like hey, and I was like, hey, geez, man, she's
going to Spain.

Speaker 1 (44:36):
It had to have just been a CNB scene thing
where everybody's just yelling at everybody. Oh my gosh, remember us, Hey, hey, hey, hey.

Speaker 2 (44:43):
Yeah. Mitch owns her own business, but you know what
she wants. She's a frugal and she wants her free
concert ticket, So she uh signs up to work at
the Moody Center a couple times a month whenever there's
a concert she likes. So she signs up to be
an usher and she gets four seats to every concert.

Speaker 1 (44:59):
Basically smart.

Speaker 2 (45:00):
I'm like that is so good. She's like, yeah, why
pay for concert tickets when I can just come for
free and get paid.

Speaker 1 (45:06):
How many free tastes did you get for your boys
A lot sesh, Yeah, a lot. I'm gonna be a
pretty big contingent. I got it. But Ryan, he was
a no show this year. Ryan was out this year.
We can't really know him well.

Speaker 2 (45:20):
He did a laser treatment on his face. Oh saw
the pick, Yeah, and so he he had to call
in sick this year. And then I went to bed,
and then we were going to play golf on Sunday.
Batter's Box and Box, you better.

Speaker 1 (45:34):
Get over wine, and we're never gonna get there. What
if everybody that's a Batter's Box here with.

Speaker 2 (45:39):
Us and we'll be right back after this. So the
stress of going off, let me tell you, the stress
is try to see everybody, see the baby, see Garrett,
Greg Jacob, Chess Day, family, sister, brother, cousins, nieces, nephews, traffic,
my parents, traffic, eatd all the good restaurants, and the

(46:00):
Batter's Box got upset last year about me playing golf
with the boys and not playing with him. So I
made a tea time for eight fifty three am on Sunday.
My mom calls me on Saturday, She's like, Hey, is
your dad playing golf with you? Did you invite him.

Speaker 1 (46:14):
What is she his personal assistant?

Speaker 2 (46:16):
And I'm like, I didn't know that dad would want
to go. I thought he would want to play golf.

Speaker 1 (46:21):
And I'm like and she's like, well, I mean he
could at least ride in the golf cart with you.

Speaker 2 (46:28):
And I'm like, man, is he a rider? And see
here's that and here here's here's the thing. She makes
a great point. I should have thought of that, because
it would have been great just say, hey, Dad, do
you want to go riding the golf cart and like
hang out with us for four hours?

Speaker 1 (46:42):
Yeah, you should have probably done that.

Speaker 2 (46:43):
I absolutely should have. But the stress I'm under, I
don't think clearly. And so then I call the golf
course and I'm like, now they don't answer. Call the
golf course. They don't answer.

Speaker 1 (46:55):
Yeah, we got to ride her what's her name? Toolbox?

Speaker 2 (46:59):
Yeah? And I called the golf course third time on Saturday,
and I'm like, hey, we have an eight fifty three
tea time and I know there's my two and there's
another two we're paired up with. But is it okay
if my dad comes and rides and like hangs out.

Speaker 1 (47:12):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (47:13):
Absolutely, it's just a thirty five dollars rider fee. We
just charged thirty five dollars within the ride in the cart.

Speaker 1 (47:18):
Did you tell me it was handicap And I said, well,
he's a little slow. They're like, we'll discount it. Oh.
They're like, oh, then it's free. I was like, all right, good, good, good,
Hey dad, whenever you get out of the cart, have
a limp. No.

Speaker 2 (47:34):
I told him to slim himself in the face, like,
hey ah, he's a little slow. And then so we
we batter's boxing. My dad picked me up on you know,
Sunday morning. We gotta go. They picked me up at
like eight ten. We got an eight fifty three tea time.
It's a thirty minute drive from the freaking hotel down

(47:55):
to Butta or Kyle or wherever the hell this golf
course is. And we get there and we go, we
check in, all right, let's go. We go to the
first tea box and we get to warm up. I
did two chips on the chipping green.

Speaker 1 (48:07):
That's for me, thank you man. And that was it.
Those were the two swings. It was time to go,
and I've got to what batter's boxes? Ass? I have
to whoop them. There's no way he's good.

Speaker 2 (48:19):
And so because I'm like, dude, I play, he doesn't
play ever anymore.

Speaker 1 (48:23):
I haven't played six months on a real course. I
only hit phone balls. I could beat his ass.

Speaker 2 (48:29):
And so we go out there and my first drive
is to the right, just like I was doing on
the track man on the simulator. So I was like,
maybe the simulator is more real than I thought, because
I was like, my driver's been on point. I haven't
been hitting anything right.

Speaker 1 (48:43):
Well, I'm sure that turf with the simulator isn't great
for your swing. Great, that's what I agree with, cause
it's a hard bottom. When you're on the course, it's
not hard you chili dip.

Speaker 2 (48:54):
Yeah, And so we all par the whole first hole
me batter's box. So two dudes we get paired up
with their buddies and they do a little weird thing
whenever they get a good shot, like a par where
they go they go.

Speaker 1 (49:09):
Hit hit hands and they do one finger okay, And
I was like, what you say, no more? Okay, we
know who you're repaired up with.

Speaker 2 (49:17):
And then we go to the second hole and I
hit my drive thirty yards to the right in the weeds. Okay,
all right, pull out the three wood. Ah, hit it
fifty yards?

Speaker 1 (49:27):
Okay, what's wrong with fifty yards?

Speaker 2 (49:30):
I'm getting pissed now. And I hit another one fifty
yards and I'm like, what the hell the semi?

Speaker 1 (49:37):
I Simi's good for your swing.

Speaker 2 (49:41):
I cannot come out here and have batter's box beat me.
I it looks like I haven't played golf in two years.
This second hole and I'm just like I'm getting I'm like,
all right, let it go. And then I just smoked
him all over the course, whooped him. I mean, it
was so bad. The guys that we were playing with
started offering him swing lessons.

Speaker 1 (50:02):
That's always the worst. What's he swinging?

Speaker 2 (50:06):
I don't know what he's swinging. But the guy who
was I got the twelve te who was like, hey, man, like,
let me help you out here, get you some Cobra's
batters box. He's like, the problem with you is your
left shoulder is really open.

Speaker 1 (50:17):
Oh my god. I would have murdered that guy.

Speaker 2 (50:19):
Like it's a little open, and so what you need
to do is kind of put your foot forward, this
foot forward and this foot back.

Speaker 1 (50:25):
I put my foot right up your ass and he
goes and that'll help you, you know, stay down and
keep your shoulder closed. Okay, Hey, thank Albert Bell.

Speaker 2 (50:33):
Thanks because as you're opening your shoulder, that means you're
farther away from the ball and it's harder to hit it.

Speaker 1 (50:39):
Got it. Thanks Wan Soto and Batter's Box was really
receptive this.

Speaker 2 (50:43):
I'm gonna try that. I'm gonna try.

Speaker 1 (50:46):
He's getting a full one lesson on the twelfth hole.
That's how bad it got.

Speaker 2 (50:50):
Yeah, and then he and Batter's Box really offended me
on the ninth green. He we get done and he's
we're driving to tell you bend over and put your pants,
goes Man. That dude's a really good putter. He's so
good at pudding.

Speaker 1 (51:04):
I'm like, get his number.

Speaker 2 (51:05):
I'm like, I'm better than him. He goes no, he's
draining everything his putter.

Speaker 1 (51:10):
Oh my god, the way he handles that putter is
so amazing. Okay, John Ram and I'm like, what is
he tiger at Valdosta?

Speaker 2 (51:18):
I'm like, have you ever seen me? Puddy goes no,
He's he doesn't miss his putts. I'm like, okay, I'm
pissed because I then putting is what I pride myself off.

Speaker 1 (51:27):
All you gotta do is put a little divot down
when you're walking past his line next time.

Speaker 2 (51:31):
And so then I started scuffing it up, kicking his
ball a little bit. I'm like, really, you got a
crush on that guy. Really you want to say he's
a good putter and I'm not. And so Batter's Box
on the thirteenth teet, he's like, I'm gonna try after
that guy game the lesson on twelve. He's like, I'm
gonna try it, dude.

Speaker 1 (51:48):
Golf is such a great game until you get to
the guy that gives you a lesson on the course.
Then I would I would leave the course.

Speaker 2 (51:54):
And he did the same thing. He opened up, He
opened up, sliced it, lay to the right. But we
found it up against the construction barrier.

Speaker 1 (52:02):
Found it Batter's Box. He just opened up the shoulder
a little too much. Got it. He got a little
bit of prickers on it. My dad, you know, he's
just toolbox, just making comments.

Speaker 2 (52:11):
Your dad.

Speaker 1 (52:12):
Do any random swing?

Speaker 2 (52:13):
No, no random swings. They never swing the club. He
would the only drive on the car path too. He
would never come out to the ball till like the
thirteenth hole. Root follower He finally came out there where
we were hitting ninety degrees and like, I hit a
couple in the woods, you know, here and there, and
he was like, hey, on this one, try hitting it
between the trees, not in the trees. Guess where it
went in the trees. I'm like, thanks for the jinks.

(52:36):
And he goes and he tells us, Hey, I'm gonna
start following those two guys. You guys are on your own.

Speaker 1 (52:41):
I'm gonna hang out with those guys. So your dad's
friends with them. They're giving your brother a lesson. I
hate those guys. They don't interrupt the family dynamic. And
then the guy one of the guys that's trying to
coach his buddy, and his buddy tells him shut the
somebody needed to.

Speaker 2 (53:01):
He goes, I don't need your help, just shut up.

Speaker 1 (53:04):
Don't ever be a tea on the green. Guy, Hey,
I got this tea. It just eclips right to my hat.
It's the easiest tea I've ever seen. Ball marker, Oh yeah,
I don't use a ball marker. I just throw a
tea in the green.

Speaker 2 (53:15):
Yeah. And then we get to eighteen man batter's boxes.
He's dejected, he's in pain. He at one point he
swung and he goes, I think I pulled a muscle, testicular,
and I said, you gotta have muscles to pull a muscle.
And those guys were cracking jokes too. They were cracking

(53:35):
jokes at us and them and themselves. They were great, dude,
they were great. And Batter's Box drives it on eighteen.
And then I smoke one down the middle, way down there,
and we pull up to his ball and I see
my ball way up there, and I'm like, yo, you
little be I outdrove you by probably.

Speaker 1 (53:54):
One hundred yards, one hundred yards. How does that feel?
You just got small by one hundred yards. He's like, yeah,
that's up there, all right. Shut up.

Speaker 2 (54:05):
I'm like, dang, that's how far you've come. I'm out
driving you by one hundred freaking yards. Shut up. And
he hits his ball and he gets in the cart
and we're about to drive up to my ball, and
the other dude goes, hey, aren't you playing bridge throne?
And I'm like yeah.

Speaker 1 (54:25):
He goes, it's right here, a tale as old as time.
And I'm like, oh, Fatter's fox goes, oh, one hundred
yards were like, ten, you dumb ass, that's pretty much even.
He goes. He goes, I don't care. I lost. This
made my day. This made everything right in the world.
And he is just making fun of me for the

(54:47):
next two hours. As we went to lunch, Hey man,
when you're out, drove me by one hundred yards, drove
you by one hundred yards. Oh so you killed him?
I killed him, but one hundred yards was funny. And
then we're walking into the rest did your dad sign
his card at the end of the round? He did?
He confirmed the scorecard bat the ghost round.

Speaker 2 (55:05):
Batter's box didn't even fill out whole number eighteen because
he didn't want to have a completed scorecard because he
didn't want to shoot over one hundred for the first
time and how long, and so he didn't fill it out.
He incomplete scorecard.

Speaker 1 (55:19):
Me and Potter's Box be pretty even then, probably, yeah.

Speaker 2 (55:21):
So we're walking into the restaurant. He was like, we
should have called ahead, put our name on the list.
It's gonna be a long wait. I was like, it's
not gonna be a long wait. He goes, oh, I
guarantee you it's packed, And I was like, dude, they'll
get us a table. Do you know who we're with?
And then boom, I tripped over the sidewalk. I was like,
like a big shot, my head got too big, tripped
over the sidewalk. Batter's Box loved that. We had lunch,

(55:43):
enjoyed it. Kids got balloon animals.

Speaker 1 (55:46):
But did he get you in front of the line.

Speaker 2 (55:48):
It wasn't even packed. We are at a table.

Speaker 1 (55:50):
What was it? Waffle house?

Speaker 2 (55:51):
No waterloo? Man, his wife was there early got is
the table on the patio. Kids got balloon animals. They
played on the playground. We ate, we we joked, and
then we had to drive to the airport. And the
airport traffic was so bad from slaughter and thirty five.
It took forty five minutes to get to the airport

(56:11):
that should usually take about ten. Yep, it was unbelievable
how many people were going to that airport.

Speaker 1 (56:17):
There's an old good will I would go to right
before the airport.

Speaker 2 (56:20):
Yeah, yeah, so that was it. Man. Then I came
home and I went to bed right when I got home.

Speaker 1 (56:25):
All right, well this podcast needs to go to bed.

Speaker 2 (56:26):
Yeah, it wasn't very good. We're out, guys, have a
great Monday. Well, hear about Charleston on Wednesday. That wasn't
a good pod. I'm sorry, but yeah, Batter's Box dude.

Speaker 1 (56:39):
Got a swinger story for Wednesday.

Speaker 2 (56:41):
Oh like how he Batter's Box needs to fix his swing.

Speaker 1 (56:44):
Or yeah, real opened up relationship. Oh well, you should
have told me that earlier. That would have been better
than my crap. Not my relationship, I know, but I.

Speaker 2 (56:51):
Mean, I don't even know I did anything interesting. Dude.
Oh that was rough, but we get to say goodbye everybody,
see guys, see guys on the flip side, man on
the flo.

Speaker 1 (57:00):
Well,
