Speaker 2 (02:45):
I know the most about sports, so I'll give you
the sports facts, my sports opinions, because I'm pretty much
a sports.

Speaker 1 (02:50):
Genius, y'all it says. And I'm from the north. I'm
an alpha male. I live on the north side of
Nashville's Bayser. My wife, she was a broadway girl, took
her to the north side and we made it. We
made a life for ourselves. And we have two acres.
We have a house, we have a driveway, we have
a car. We don't have crops. But boy, it is
pumpkin sizen. They are still macheteing those pumpkins because it

(03:14):
is pumpkin sizen and fall sison and autumn tings Susan
and demure Susan. Over to you, Coke.

Speaker 2 (03:22):
Good news is the pumpkin truck is going to be
out front today. The people that own this building, they
always provide free pumpkins. They are employees, and that pumpkin
truck owner doesn't know that we are not part of
the employees. Every year I go out there, give me
some free pumpkins, guarantee. Also, he's near my neighborhood. I
would imagine that a majority of the ones in Tennessee
and Kentucky are from the crops right next to me.

Speaker 1 (03:44):
They have. As far as I can see, it's nothing
but orange. How much those pumpkins go for go valls? Uh? Yeah,
let me go ask one of the guys with the machete,
hey man, before you hacksaw, how much we talking about.
They also don't speak our language, coach, So I got it,
they speak Russian. Yes. Uh.

Speaker 2 (04:04):
I just want to say before I start this off,
I want to say I love being a dad, Like
I really like being a dad.

Speaker 1 (04:10):
Is amazing, dude, this is perfect because we've turned this
into a parenting podcast. I just hashtag now parenting all
the time. This is great.

Speaker 2 (04:16):
No, No, this is more sports but a little bit of
parenting involved. So yesterday the Major League Baseball playoffs start
and I'm like, hell, yeah, day baseball, this is when
it counts best of three series. We're gonna watch some
freaking amazing games. And I'm gonna sit here on the
couch and I'm gonna enjoy it in that during this afternoon,

(04:37):
and I start out by watching the Astros and the Tigers,
and school Ball is dealing to Rick Tarik whatever his
name is, he is baller.

Speaker 1 (04:46):
He's so freaking good. The hardest names in baseball, Terrek,
school Ball and Framber Valdez. Yes, and it was great.
Three whatever happened to John Doe? Three? Nothing? You know
what I mean?

Speaker 2 (04:58):
Like he's pitching great, pitching, great, pitching great. Then the
Royals and the Orioles start and you got ragons and burns,
and I mean it.

Speaker 1 (05:06):
Is just zeros zeros, zeros zeros for the first three innings.
That's how Johnny Bench would have loved it. Man, rest
in peace, Charlie Hustle. Anyway, they said he hit three
thirty in an era where guys were hitting two thirty.

Speaker 2 (05:19):
That's pretty impressive. Ah My cousin met him one time
in Vegas. He went and got an autograph from him
and got pictures with him, and then cousin Andrew dropped
the camera and water and he doesn't have the pictures,
so that is corrupted file doesn't have the pictures to
tell about it.

Speaker 1 (05:36):
But that's not the story. The story is.

Speaker 2 (05:38):
So then I go get the kid, baby box off
the bus at three twenty five PM. That's when he
gets off the bus and I'm all excited. I'm like, dude,
we're gonna watch these games. And we get in the
house and I'm like, it's playoff Baseball and he's like,
are the Cubs playing, Dad, I'm like no, he goes, okay.

Speaker 1 (05:56):
So we watched like three outs of the game. We
missed the mark and we're watching the Royals Orioles because
it's zero zero in like the fourth inning. I'll pass
on that game. Why that series? I need to get
won later. Tigers astros phenomenal. Tigers haven't been in ten years.
They haven't been to a World Series since the sixties
or maybe later than that. When Kenny Rodgers had the

(06:18):
palm tar, different guy, Kenny, his name was Rogers. I
don't know who you're talking. Kenny Rogers, the star pitcher
for the Tigers, was the same name as Kenny Rogers,
the musician.

Speaker 2 (06:29):
I don't know who Kenny Rodgers the pitcher, When did he.

Speaker 1 (06:32):
Pitch put Kenny Rogers Pine tar Okay Rogers. We took
him into the World Series in two thousand and eight.

Speaker 2 (06:41):
Time tar Okay, Oh, here we go. Two thousand and
eight questions ling Grover's substance on Rogers' left hand. What
was his first name, Kenny Rogers if the same name
as the musician. So the Tigers haven't been there in
a while. That series was fascinating. Royals boring to me?

Speaker 1 (07:01):
What were they playing? The Brewers? Baltimore? They're playing the Orioles. Yeah,
I need Baltimore to cruise through that series continue.

Speaker 2 (07:07):
Well, the Brewers play the Mets and they got housed,
they got whooped.

Speaker 1 (07:12):
The Brewers suck. Yeah, that's it. There's no pitching in
that one. The Mets. There's more on the Mets side,
but the Brewers. I looked at him. I was like,
all right, let's look at the one, two three. I
was like, what I mean, they have a one. That's
about it. They fall off after that. Uh yeah. So anyway,
same a guy in there, who's yell at? Where's yelli?
He had back, So I couldn't name a player in
the Mets in the Brewers Contreras terrang O Contraillers from

(07:36):
the Cubs. No, it's his I think that's his brother. No,
his brother, it's his brother.

Speaker 2 (07:42):
His brother's on the because his brother got traded from
the Braves to the Brewers. And the one from the Cubs,
William got it is on the Cardinals got it. Anyway,
So we watch about three outs and I'm like, this
game is awesome, edge of your seat. One run is
gonna won, two runs, that every at bat is important.

(08:04):
This is what I love playoff baseball. And after three outs,
he goes, all right, Dad, can we watch the replay
the Titans game?

Speaker 1 (08:14):
Got a boy tits up? I said what, He goes, Dad, Dada,
didn't you record the Titans game for me? That's a fan?
And I said yeah, and he goes, can we watch
that now? I'm taking your kids to a Titans game.
Damn If you're not going to, I am. Those are
my boys. And I looked at him. I was like, Bud,
but this is playoff baseball. He goes, yeah, Dad, but

(08:34):
you may us go to bed. And the Titans were
winning six to nothing and they covered bab They did
whatever they needed do they won the game.

Speaker 2 (08:41):
And I said yeah, yeah, yeah, Bud, but we can
watch that anytime this playoff game, like this is big
deal baseball. He goes, yeah, Dad, the Cubs aren't playing,
so I'm bored. Can we watch the Titans game?

Speaker 1 (08:53):
Wow? So he goes just with his teams and I said,
I watched that Titans game. Son, it's really boring, goes Dad,
I don't even know what happens. Can you turn it on?

Speaker 2 (09:04):
So I have to sit there and decide, am I
gonna watch playoff baseball? Or am I gonna be stuck
watching the damn Titans game, which was like two shitty
teams trying to win a game. None of them, neither
one of them deserved to win, but one had to win.

Speaker 1 (09:17):
And I love the fandom in Miami. I turned it
on here in the studio the next morning, same as
your kid watching it the day after. By the third quarter,
it was three quarters empty.

Speaker 2 (09:28):
Yeah, because they knew they had no shot, because oh
my god, they looked so terrible and they couldn't do anything.
They couldn't move the ball.

Speaker 1 (09:33):
And congrats to my buddy Danny. He was at the game.
He he is with child. His Brazilian girlfriend is pregnant.
They're having their first kid, all right, and congrats to
you on hitting your two hundred dollars. It was three
three hundred. Thank you. It's now down to two thirty.
You cashed. Now we had a free beat. We had
a fifty dollars free bet, no sweat bet. So I

(09:54):
did Astros plus three hundred. They lost, then did a
fifty dollars par les at lost and I'm down to
two thirty.

Speaker 2 (10:01):
Got it anyway, So I was like, all right. So
we turned on the Titans game and we proceed to
watch the Titans game for a second time. I mean,
I didn't watch much of the Titans game the for
and the night before. I watched more of the Lions Seahawks.
But as playoff baseball, the Astros have second and third,
one out, bottom of the ninth, and I'm watching the

(10:24):
Tennessee freaking Titans.

Speaker 1 (10:26):
That was the only part of the game that was good,
the Astros game that was television right at all. It's
all good when it's a pitcher's duel like that in
every at bat is so huge in like edge of
your seat, like if they hit a home run, Oh
my god, it's a tie game. Oh what you you
said it yourself? On the Facebook page Sore Losers Facebook page,
Facebook dot com. The Astros were a late arriving crowd.

Speaker 2 (10:47):
They were a later riving crownd. When I turned it
on at the very beginning of the game, there was
no one in the stands. I was like, Wow, Astros
fans a little cocky. I'd like, oh, you know, we've
been here before, we don't need to come to the game.
But by the third or fourth inning it was pretty crowded.
I was a little to jump on them. There's Houston traffic.
I forgot about Houston traffic. And a lot of them
had their noon meeting and the game started at one thirty.

(11:07):
Meeting ran over, came over from the skyscrapers, had to
change into their Astros gear, so the boss didn't know.
They said they were going on a sales call, but
they were really going to the game. My apologies. So
I'm watching it just on my computer, the game cast
on ESPN where they have the little dots. That's what
I'm reserved to.

Speaker 1 (11:25):
Like my dad, he was listening to the radio because
the quote unquote website we use was down. I don't
know what happened to it. It's been flawless, but playoff
Baseball hits and my boomer went over there and goes
Popa's watching the game. He's listening to it on the radio.
A we've happen a radio in that house. He had
the old Transister radio. Here's the three to one pitch

(11:46):
and Tarleton, what the hed upplemental base it? And that
ball hit the ground and it didn't hit the bat
and it didn't hit the ground when that was a
huge play in the game. What one? It was the
one where the dude swung and they called it a
foul tip and so he got to hit again. He
got a base hit, and that's how the Astros got
their own only run.

Speaker 2 (12:06):
Oh see, I didn't see that part ray They.

Speaker 1 (12:10):
Said it hit the ground. It didn't hit the ground.
The catcher caught it clean. They would for sure should
have been Tiger's three to zero in that game.

Speaker 2 (12:17):
I was watching it on via ESPN dot com on
the little move the buttons, like where they hit the
little ground or okay, cool, this guy grounded out to first,
This guy struck out looking so annoying.

Speaker 1 (12:28):
All right, cool?

Speaker 2 (12:28):
But then you know, and I'm clicking between two screens
because I got the Astros game and I got the
Royals game. And it's zero zero zero zero zero zero.
Then some guy gets on first. He steals second, then
a ground out to first, he gets the third. There's
two outs and Bobby Witt Junior's coming up, and I'm like, oh,
the Orioles are obviously gonna walk Bobby Witt Junior.

Speaker 1 (12:49):
Bobby Witt Junior is the best hitter since Pete Roseen.
I'll hang up and listen.

Speaker 2 (12:54):
And I'm like, oh, they're definitely gonna walk them. They're like,
no doubt, You're not. The one person you can't let
you beat you is Bobby Witten Junior. And I look
away for two seconds because the Titans got a two
yard run and my son is going, yeah, first down,
first down. We're in the middle of the third quarter.
At this point, I'm gonna get him a tits up hat.

Speaker 1 (13:12):
Oh God, don't do that. My buddy found one. Really,
because you guys don't know this. If you're outside of Nashville,
they're called the tits and so that the I've never
heard that. Oh my gosh, we all say it. Any
girl in Nashville, if they go to the game, they
go go tits. Dude. It's huge. But my buddy found
a hat that actually says go tits, bro. I'm buying
it and wearing it. Bones is gonna shut me down?

(13:33):
The Big Joe. I love it. That's a great hat.
That's actually a good hat.

Speaker 2 (13:38):
And I said, so he's going and I'm like, they're
gonna walk Bobby Witt and they get a first down
and my son's going crazy. I look back at the screen,
Bobby Wit single to left, one nothing, Royals, and I'm like,
why would you pitch to the guy. He is the
best player in baseball? Why would you pitch to him?

Speaker 1 (13:54):
I know that I.

Speaker 2 (13:55):
Should be a major league baseball manager. When I see
things like this, I'm like, how stupid are these guys?
How do they get that job? Put me in that position?
It wouldn't happen.

Speaker 1 (14:03):
But the Astros played old school baseball. They blunted the
runners over, Oh did they? I was like, what is this?
Nineteen eighty very smart? But then it didn't work tho
because they didn't get any runs. I was like, damn,
should they have not wasted that out? No, they should
have wasted that out because a base hit ties the game.
All right, That's what I'm all about. And I thought
one was going to drop, but it didn't.

Speaker 2 (14:20):
And so that's what I was reserved to was watching
it on my computer. So as much as I love
being a parent, sometimes it really does suck. And you
missed two of the best games, the two best games
of the playoffs. I missed the second half of the
Astros game, and I missed ninety percent of the Royals
Orioles game because my kid wanted to watch. The hapless,

(14:40):
terrible Tennessee Titans played the Miami Dolphins, who look absolutely dreadful.

Speaker 1 (14:46):
Who's the worst team in the NFL is record the
least amount of wins is going to be the Panthers,
the Titans, or the Patriots. It's not going to be
the Panthers. The Panthers are goods. It's not the Titans.
The Titans sucked, dude. We played the Jags a lot.
There's a games against the Jets. Do you understand how
bad the Titans like? If Will Levis doesn't get hurt

(15:08):
in that game, I don't know if you win the game,
Rudolph's the new guy.

Speaker 2 (15:12):
No, will Levis is your quarterback. And the coach even
said if will Levis's shoulder feels okay, he'll be our starter.

Speaker 1 (15:18):
Look at Carolina's schedule. It's tough. They got a lot
of games against Falcons that is a good team, Saints,
and then not to Bears this weekend. The Bear suck. Yeah,
the Bears, That's what I'm saying. That might be the
one that Carolina wins. I think I got a question.
How are the Bears favored? Uh? Because it's at home.

Speaker 2 (15:35):
Probably take the Carolina Panthers plus three right now, take
it to the bank. I don't understand it. The Bears
are so damn bad.

Speaker 1 (15:44):
We sucked, Dude, the team you had so much promise,
Camleb Williams, Victor Wembin Yama, all your teams, Allen, dj Moore,
DeAndre Swich. That's on your scouts, that's on your people
in research and development, which I've been trying to teach
Justin about we need to do more researching of players
on the waiver wire research and development. I am gonna,

(16:05):
I am all. I'm up that department's asshole in fantasy
because it's so important and me and Justin neglect it.
The Bears neglected it. How did you guys, miss on
Jalen Daniels and you go with Kayla Williams after one game. Oh,
it's Jayden Daniels better two games, dude. Jayden Daniels has
been making throws that I haven't seen since Joe Montagna.

Speaker 2 (16:26):
I know, Ray and I have to go through this
every Sunday. And I don't know if we had an
offensive line if it would make a difference. Because Kayleb
Williams has no time to.

Speaker 1 (16:36):
Throw the ball. That's a problem. But also I think
our coaches could do something where they could, you know,
like maybe come up with an idea to maybe get
the ball out of his hands to make make make adjustments.
I don't know. I don't know.

Speaker 2 (16:48):
I've never decided I could be a football coach. I
could be a baseball coach. I feel like because I
know that you don't let Bobby Witt Junior beat you,
and you walk him, and you put first and third
and you take a chance with whoever's hitting behind Bobby
Witt Junior.

Speaker 1 (16:59):
I don't even know who it is. And also baseball,
isn't it a lot going with your gut? Oh? Should
I take the picture out? I leave? Man, Dude, betting
is going with your gut. We would be amazing baseball coaches.
NFL is a little bit more.

Speaker 2 (17:10):
Oh yeah, and you got to know how to block
and scheme and pick up the a gap. And whenever
they talk about it on TV, I'm like, oh, yeah,
the damn a gap man Mawaiian at the big gap
and all.

Speaker 1 (17:20):
The all the major league baseball guy steal or don't steal,
walk or don't walk, that's about it. Shift or not shift,
and they can't even shift as much as they used to. Yeah,
don't you got to be on the right side of
the base. I mean, it's really not. And then also
he's I'm not gonna handle the pitchers. Hire a pitching coach. Oh,
I'm not gonna hire a base coach. I'm not gonna

(17:40):
do the basis hire a base coach. So what does
the head coach do exactly?

Speaker 2 (17:43):
It's a great question. I think he's a moral guy.
I think he tries to keep morale up.

Speaker 1 (17:47):
A lot of them are stone faced. How is that morale? Yeah,
I will say I am impressed, like as a as
a fan when I watch, like when we have an interception,
I'm on the oh God, like, oh.

Speaker 2 (18:02):
And and if you watch a head coach in the NFL,
like they throw an interception, he just touched his mic
like he asks like he's not mad, and I'm like, dude,
I would be freaking out if someone drops a.

Speaker 1 (18:13):
Pass like, oh my god, that was solo. We should
have had it.

Speaker 2 (18:16):
Or you give up a heartbreaking touchdown like when uh,
Georgia gives up the touchdown to Alabama after they just
scored for Alabama to take the lead with like a
minute left. You don't see Kirby smart just.

Speaker 1 (18:27):
Like oh man, like oh my god.

Speaker 2 (18:30):
Like he's just like, all here we go, offense, here
we go, yep, keep it up, and he's just stone cold.

Speaker 1 (18:34):
I'm like, how do you do that? Right? If there
weren't cameras, they would be going crazy. A lot of
them alter how they are because they know they're on TV.
They know they're gonna watch game film. If you're just
out there playing a game, he ain't gonna be all
mine in your p's and q's.

Speaker 2 (18:48):
But also, how do these athletes think, oh my god,
you know we're still gonna win this game?

Speaker 1 (18:53):
Because me, I'm like, oh, I'm so heartbroken. It's over.

Speaker 2 (18:56):
It's over. And then they drive down the score touchdown.
I'm like, oh my god, how they do that? It's
so amazing what you got to start the rally. Once that,
then you believe in it.

Speaker 1 (19:04):
But I mean, when it was twenty eight to nothing,
tough to really as a Georgia player to think you
were gonna win that game. Impressive if you were thinking no.

Speaker 2 (19:10):
No, But they had They still had to believe they
were gonna win that game because they performed like they
believe they were still gonna win that game. If I'm
down six years, another.

Speaker 1 (19:20):
Player feels the exact same way you do. When it
was twenty eight to nothing, I was like, oh shit,
I just lost this bet. When they got one touchdown,
I thought, oh my, that's when I texted and said
they actually still have a chance.

Speaker 2 (19:32):
So you think that's when the player started believing. Is
when they scored that one touchdown.

Speaker 1 (19:35):
When they were down twenty eight to nothing, They're like, oh,
this is gonna look real bad, but we still have
the sc championship. Uh but we still have the final twelve.
Teams will be fine, but they're like, this is over.
And then you get one. The momentum Baseball, the Astros
three nothing, We're screwed. Oh my gosh, we're screwed. Oh
what we got a base runner Okay, momentum, let's go.
Let's go. We actually got a chance. They believe the
same time you believe a lot of them. If they

(19:57):
act like, they get the heart of the lion the dog.
Come on, come on, it's the same as a gambler.
When you started feeling the bat, they started feeling better. Huh.
And we'll take a break. Yeah, we're back live. I'm
gonna need you to explain something to me. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (20:14):
Have you ever flown into the Austin Berkstrom International Airport?

Speaker 1 (20:18):
Yeah? In Nashville, No, No, in Austin. It's Costa Rica.

Speaker 2 (20:23):
Close to there. It's on the way to Costa Rica,
I believe. Don't know where Coasta Rica, Rica is exactly
from Texas, but I just believe that Austin is a
major metropolitan area.

Speaker 1 (20:33):
Right, it's a big airport. Bro, I gotta be real.
I know y'all go there to Ihardfest. Make sure you
let them know that we got the plug in. Bro.
I ain't been there in ten years since Mike D's wedding. Really, yeah,
that was the only time I've been there since about
twenty fifteen. Since we've moved, I've been to Austin twice. Oh,

(20:54):
I thought maybe you've seen Billy. You gone down to
see Billy more than just that. We always end up
just going either for Laud or Miami Nashville. Well, my apologies,
but here's my thing. I didn't go for iHeart. Did
I live in Austin. Look me up, Willie Mays. I
gotta lock lay the points. Oh and by the way,
last segment, I told you the Bears are favored by three,

(21:15):
you might as well lock up the Panthers. Sorry, the
Bears are favored by four, So.

Speaker 2 (21:20):
You're telling me you're getting four points with a red
rocket and freaking uh hubble hubba and Deyontay.

Speaker 1 (21:29):
I catch everything that has thrown my direction. Johnson, Is
he good? Now? There dude with a quarterback that can
throw the ball. He's amazing. He gets like twelve targets
a game and he catches them all. Dang it. Yeah,
that's gonna that's a regret in the draft. I didn't
know Deontay was with Caroline.

Speaker 2 (21:45):
Well, he was terrible in the first couple of weeks
when you had stupid Bryce Toddler. Young back there that
can't see over the line, can't throw the football more.

Speaker 1 (21:53):
Than five yards where is he. Oh, he's in witness protection.
Ray he's got a hit out for him. I mean
he is, No, I don't know about that. Right, he's
out the NFL.

Speaker 2 (22:05):
Oh, he's gonna be starting in the NEXTFL next year.
What he is going to be on the Houston raw
Dogs next year, No doubt about it.

Speaker 1 (22:12):
Starting quarterback. But he's right. Hold on, let me raw
dog you this. Remember when Bones and Eddie went and
did their too much access and they stood next to
Bryce Young. He was tiny dude. When they took that picture.
I said to myself, this guy's never gonna make it
in the league unless you you got to be fast.
I guess he's decently fast. He can't see over the line.
That's a big thing they said about Drew Brees. He

(22:34):
ended up being decent. Johnny Manzel he couldn't see over
the line. Bakers short as well, but he succeeded.

Speaker 2 (22:41):
He's figuring it out. It's amazing. Russell Wilson isn't that big.
I don't think bigger than them, but yes, he's terrible.
But Deonday Johnson, it was so Yeah, take the plus
four a lot. Old's taller than Bryce Young, for sure.
I locked it up at plus three.

Speaker 1 (22:55):
I was wrong.

Speaker 2 (22:56):
It's plus four. But anyway, back to my Austin Berkstrom
International Airport. I went there this last weekend because I
had a funeral.

Speaker 1 (23:02):
To go to. Airport. Sound effect is that the plane
arriving or departing. That's a feel like you're in the terminal.

Speaker 2 (23:11):
All like, hey, welcome, You're free to fly about the country.
So I'm flying out and my flight's at eight pm
out of the Austin Berkstrom International Airport. You're about to
fly out, about to fly out, about to pull up,
so you know, my dad pulls up out front, drops
me off, gives me a hug, kiss, Hey, love you.

Speaker 1 (23:28):
Thanks that all right, give the kids a hug for me.

Speaker 2 (23:32):
I will, Dad, don't worry. And I walk in and
it's only seven to fifteen and the one main security
spot it's closed. I'm like, wow, this big of an airport,
major metropolitan area and they have the biggest security like
place closed.

Speaker 1 (23:49):
All right.

Speaker 2 (23:49):
I'm walking down to this end of the airport and
I go in the security and they check me. All right,
come on through, sirup now, get my bag, walk into
the gate for my eight o'clock departure.

Speaker 1 (23:59):
On my man.

Speaker 2 (24:00):
I need to get some food. Oh, there's a place
to sell smoothies. Let me grab a smoothie real quick.
It's seven oh five, right.

Speaker 1 (24:06):
Are they checking you over at TSA? Oh?

Speaker 2 (24:08):
They checked my bag and I walked through the thing
and it didn't beep, so they let me keep going.

Speaker 1 (24:11):
How can they check some people more than they check others?
It's random? Do you believe it's random? No? I walk
right through, dude, That's what I'm saying. I get sometimes
at beeps and I'm like, oh, I need to swipe your
hand to see all right? Cool? Swipe my hand. Yeah, Hey,
I need to touch your butt. I'm like, I don't care,
just get me through.

Speaker 2 (24:30):
Uh So anyway, I go to the smoothie place, I'm like, yeah,
can I get a large?

Speaker 1 (24:35):
Wonder?

Speaker 2 (24:35):
Hazen like, oh, sorry, sir, we only have pre premate
smoothies right now. Our machines are we've already turned them
off for the night, so we only have a few
left in the fridge.

Speaker 1 (24:45):
Dude. Employees so wow, And I'm like, oh, wait, is
this not a major airport. It's They're in the right
air They're in the right country. They were made for America.
That is American culture. It's seven o'clock. There is no
way in a major, huge airport where flights are coming
in all the time that you're closing up shop at

(25:08):
seven pm is main dinner time. Right. But say if
Bones would leave the show right at ten, and it
was just our responsibility to close up, I mean would
be cutting little early, right, we ain't gonna be doing
the podcast at one pm. That's probably true. Yeah, I
was just shot.

Speaker 2 (25:27):
I'm like, so what do you have? Like they name
a couple. I'm like, oh, you got a large one
in that and he goes, ooh, I don't have a
large in that one. The only one I have large
in is that one in that one, and I have
two larges of each left. I'm like, all right, give
me that flavor. That's fine, I'll drink that smoothie.

Speaker 1 (25:39):
Coude. What a baller. He does the milkshakes, but throws
him in the fridge, and so for the final forty
five minutes he's already cleaned and ready to rock. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (25:48):
So then I walk over and I'm like, all right,
you know this ain't gonna fill me up. This was
just gonna be my appetizer. Let me get some tacos. Oh, sorry,
we've turned off the grill for the night.

Speaker 1 (25:57):
Dude, it doesn't stop. Like, what do you mean you
turned off the grill?

Speaker 2 (26:00):
It's only seven o'clock people, Do you know how many
people are gonna be flying in and out of this airport?
It just not even in the rest of the night
at a normal time, which is seven o'clock in the
next hour and a half. Okay, you want to close
at eight thirty, you want to shut them down early,
and you close the shop at nine. Totally get it.
But a major airport to have everything shutting down at
seven pm, that seems crazy.

Speaker 1 (26:23):
You said your point, Hang up and listen. I would
say this, Yes, boss's managers are not there. Why not
cut a couple corners? Why wouldn't you trim off fifteen
twenty minutes? Then you're out of the airport and you're
at back home getting knobbed by nine to fifteen? Why not?
Why not? Yeah? I understand? Why not? When was the

(26:45):
last time you saw the brass around here? Twenty sixteen?
Maybe it was Reagan administration? So why wouldn't we cut
out a little If we don't we actually burn them midnight?

Speaker 2 (26:56):
Yeah, we actually are here all the damn time. Wow,
sometimes on Saturdays doing best bit with Morgan Fuelsman, Dude, why.

Speaker 1 (27:02):
Don't we leave at eight am? Why wouldn't we do that?

Speaker 2 (27:06):
I'd be amazing. Yeah, I would love to be able
to do that. But I'm saying it wasn't.

Speaker 1 (27:12):
Just like, so would you talk to bones about that
if we said, hey, man, the bosses aren't here. You've
ever been to the Austin Major airport and you go
to get a smoothie or a taco and they close
at fifteen minutes early? What if we did that around here?
There's no manager here.

Speaker 2 (27:26):
Well, here's the thing, there's no even hours listed on
these locations in the airport. I think it's just whenever
they want to open and whenever they want to close,
because there's no Hey.

Speaker 1 (27:34):
We're open from eight am until eight pm. Dude, don't
even get me started. The Wendy's Buy Me on the
West Side used to do that and it drove me
fucking up a wall. It doesn't matter when they open.
Sometimes the drive throughs open. Sometimes it opens at eight thirty,
sometimes nine. Sometimes drive throughs never even open. You got
to go inside. Sometimes they close early. Dude, you never knew.

(27:56):
It was just a person that just decided the manager's
not here. Why don't I just handmade these hours? That's
what I mean. I feel like these people are just
making up their hours. But I feel like it was
an airport wide epidemic because if the smoothie shop is
oh sorry, we already turned off our machines for the night.

Speaker 2 (28:12):
Oh yeah, we already cleaned the grill. We're not making
any more tacos to night, but we can get you
some chips and salsa.

Speaker 1 (28:17):
No, that's not what I want. I wanted a taco.
I wanted a taco ta go. But where are your hours?
Let me say what time you guys open to? Oh
there is no hours posted, so you just kind of
make it up. So it seems like the whole airport
just shuts down at seven pm, which is crazy to me. Like,
if I flew into New York, if whatever, what's a

(28:39):
bigg Laguardian? Is that closing at seven o'clock? Or do
they have stuff open all night? Atlanta that's one of
the bigger Airportshi there, I'm headed to Lower Manhattan.

Speaker 2 (28:48):
Can you tell me that all the restaurants just close up?
At seven pm. Oh my god, how much of money
are you missing out on?

Speaker 1 (28:55):
What you're not realizing is every business does that unless
mom and Papa were there, or the manager's on staff,
or it's a bustling restaurant that basically has to stay
open if not later than their hours posted. Think about
this the telephone telecommunications industry. When I used to do
it right, when I used to work and ground any
communications I sold telephone, computer and internet, telephone, internet and

(29:18):
cable TV. Dude, when it was eight forty five, all
you gotta do tap the old h hang up button.
Then it looks like you're busy. You just do it
a little bit. Nobody really called after eight thirty, so
once you started creeping too eight fifty eight fifty five,
you would get busted if you just held it, because
it shows it that shows records of it, but it

(29:39):
doesn't show records if you just tap it, so there's
no there. Our managers would check out seven forty five.
They want to go be with their family, So eight
hits you kind of got to still be studious eight thirty,
start thinking about it. Eight forty so if somebody had
called and you tap it, it busies it so then it
gives it to somebody else in the call center. But
when everybody's doing that, the callers could be like, oh my,

(30:00):
like why are your fo They could have complained and
been like, why are your phone's busy? But you can
start getting closer to nine, and everybody's just kind of
doing it, pushing the phone around the phone's lines. Do
you get away with it? Because then you're like Then
the caller's like, ah, I think you know what. They're
all busiest near nine. It makes sense if we'd have
done that at six, our manager would have found out
and there would have been audits and records of us

(30:22):
making phone lines busy at six eight fifty five, the
caller just kind of gets it. Everybody's heading home.

Speaker 2 (30:27):
I guess I should have understood that because when I
flew out of Nashville, my flight left at six pm,
right and I was leaving my house and it usually
takes about twenty minutes to get to the airport.

Speaker 1 (30:39):
Well don't give your exact address.

Speaker 2 (30:41):
And so my wife was like, you better get going.
I'm like, no, it only takes twenty minutes. So I
was like, I'll leave at four thirty. Since the flight
leaves at six. I'll get there at five. I'll have
an hour. I'll grab something neat cool. I get in
the car at four thirty and I type it, let
me see what they're saying. Forty five minutes to the
airport the worst. And I'm like, oh my god, okay, cool, cool.

(31:03):
So I'm taking all these back roads, like it's taking
me on back roads. I'm not even on the highway.
And I call my dad and I'm like, hey, man,
just letting you making sure you're gonna pick me up.

Speaker 1 (31:11):
He's like, you're already at the airport. I was like, no,
it says I'm gonna arrive at five twenty and my
flight leaves at six. And he's like, oh my god,
thank goodness, Rai's not with you. Kid.

Speaker 3 (31:21):
Cut through Terrytown. You're gonna want to go on one
of those little shortcuts to Mopak that'll take you all
the way home to the birds. You are now free
to fly without the country.

Speaker 1 (31:33):
And so I'm pulling into the airport and yes, I've
been fucking freaking out.

Speaker 2 (31:37):
He was like, and I'm sitting there on the highway.
Find that get on the highway where it tells me to.
And I'm like, man, this traffic is bad. Now it
says I'm gonna get there at five twenty two. It
says boarding is it five twenty And I'm like, oh
my gosh. So I am sitting there and I pull
into the parking lot.

Speaker 1 (31:52):
He's about to pull in. I pull up to the
Nashville Airport at five twenty three pm. Wait, I thought
we were stilling on. No, No, I should have known
that the Austin Airport closes at seven. Because of this. Oh,
I had trouble with your story. I know, okay, kid,
so I disregard Terry Town. You're actually gonna go kid
on sixty five twenty four cutover to Knoxville and they're

(32:13):
not there. So of kid knows directions in Nashville. Kid,
I know my directions everywhere.

Speaker 3 (32:21):
So he's finding the major arteries.

Speaker 1 (32:22):
All. I parked the car in the lot. No shuttle
at what time?

Speaker 2 (32:29):
Five point twenty three? Noted, because I wasn't about to park.
And the cover parking because it was forty five dollars
a day. I was like, I ain't paying that. There's
no way. It ain't that much. But okay, I looked
it up on my phone. It's thirty three.

Speaker 1 (32:41):
No, yeah, well could I parked there for five days
before anyway. So I'm just sitting there waiting for the shuttle.
Shuttle rolls up at five twenty seven and I'm like,
all right, we gotta go, we gotta go.

Speaker 2 (32:54):
He's like, what airline? I said, just get me to
the I don't care what airline. I just first stop,
I'm jumping off like I don't care h Frontier because
I'm not checking a bag, So I don't care what
airline I get off. I just need to get in
the doors and get their security.

Speaker 1 (33:06):
Oh here you are. You're all set at Qatar air
but not that one. Go a couple more days. Yeah, yeah,
we're not doing that airline. Sorry. Yeah, yeah, we're not
going to Katar. Yeah, you're all now free to fly
to Dubai. What I was kidding? And go farther. And
so I'm on the shuttle and we pull up to
one shuttle stop. No one's there. Cool.

Speaker 2 (33:22):
Next one, there's a guy walking from half a row
down like just I mean, just taking his damn time.

Speaker 1 (33:30):
Either you're out of that door waving him in, or
you're telling the driver's slipping him a one and say
keep going Paco. The bus driver opens the door and
the guy just acts like we're not waiting on him.
He just kind of.

Speaker 2 (33:41):
Oh no, looking up at the clouds because it's looking
like it's about to rain. And I'm like, would you
get on this and bus already?

Speaker 1 (33:49):
Dude, that's like a rapid type situation. Usually you're not
going to see somebody walking towards it.

Speaker 2 (33:54):
I mean, he didn't even oh, you're waiting for me,
like here, all kind of hustle up.

Speaker 1 (33:57):
No.

Speaker 2 (33:57):
Then he opens his backpack before he gets on to
make sure he still has his keys.

Speaker 1 (34:01):
Are all good, man, I'm like, all right, get on
the bus. You need a phone charger. I got you,
so we get it. He gets on the bus and
we're driving him like, hey, yeah, we're headed for the exit.
There's no one. Uh.

Speaker 2 (34:09):
Someone walks up to the next stop, so we got
to stop. And the guy gets on and he knows
the guy that takes forever and he's like, oh man,
I thought we had another hour. He goes, No, he goes,
I mean we still got an hour and twenty to
our flight.

Speaker 1 (34:19):
Flight leaves.

Speaker 2 (34:20):
We'll have time to get something to eat. And I'm like,
I have twenty one minutes until my flight leaves, no
thirty one minutes because it's five twenty nine at.

Speaker 1 (34:27):
This point, Oh timeline, what was I thinking?

Speaker 2 (34:29):
My flight leaves at six, and I'm like, oh my god.
So we pull up to the airport and the guy
is like, not stop it, and I'm like, I just
stand up, and he goes, you want off here.

Speaker 1 (34:39):
I'm like, yeah, this is good. You jumped wall the busy.
Believe he wasn't even know he wudn't even go to
the curb. He was in the second lane.

Speaker 2 (34:45):
He was in the second lane and I got out,
so he was not even at the curb when I
got off the damn bus and I went in and
I get to the freaking checkpoint it is now when
I get through security, it is five forty one, and
I'm like okay, and I'm like and it says boarding

(35:09):
was at five twenty. So I'm like, they're fully boarded.
And I'm all the way at the very back of
the damn airport. Never gonna be at the front, can
never be the first game.

Speaker 1 (35:18):
It's the newly designed airport. Now it's spiderwebs and it's
compremental to Atlanta's. I was thinking I'm gonna get dinner
when I get to the National Airport, get on the plane.

Speaker 2 (35:26):
Will be good, I'll won't be hungry. And I am
sprinting through the airport to my flight.

Speaker 1 (35:36):
Always wanted to do it, but you get the chance
to actually do it. I've done it numerous times because
I like to be really oh man, I like to
push it with the airport, because I don't like to
be sitting at an airport for two hours. Dude. Even Baser,
she thought we were gonna have to run at the
Atlanta Airport from kan Kun because we had a connector
in forty five minutes. It was right next door. We

(35:57):
walked two gates down. I want to I was prepared
to run, and I still didn't get the opportunity.

Speaker 2 (36:04):
And I run, run, run. I'm like, man, I gotta
fill up my water. I'm dying. I'm so thirsty, I'm sweating.

Speaker 1 (36:10):
Yeah, how's it going, brother, I wasn't out there doing
the air traffic controller. Man, get in there, fill up
your water bottle.

Speaker 2 (36:15):
So I'm there at the little the water fountain filling
up my water bottle, and it tells me by filling
up my water bottle, I was number. We've saved three
hundred and sixty five twenty six plastic bottles from going
to the landfill. And I get it about a quarter
of the way up and over the announcement, they say,
if you're on a flight number one one six '

(36:35):
two heading to Austin, we have fully bullet boarded the aircraft.
If you are holding a ticket, this is your last
call to arrive at the gate. And I'm like, alright,
here we go, and I say, screw filling up the
rest of the water bottle and I.

Speaker 1 (36:47):
Sprint to the plane. Heave the turtles on your own
and I'm the last one on that damn plane.

Speaker 2 (36:52):
Makes sense, And of course there's nowhere to put my
bag in the upper thing is all the freaking above
head store just taking so they got a check my
bag ray.

Speaker 1 (37:01):
All the hotty seats are next to each other, and
I'm like, all right, cool. So I get on the plane.
I head to Austin.

Speaker 2 (37:06):
And this is when I should have known leaving that
the airport was going to be closed, that there was
gonna be nothing open for food, because I landed at
eight pm and there was nowhere to get food to go,
Like I want to just get food because my parents
already eating dinner.

Speaker 1 (37:18):
Dude, everything was closed. The airport is not, if you will,
an uber eats. They're just trying to ship you in
and ship you out. Man. So I get in the
I get I landed eight, there's nothing to eat. My
Dad's like, well, you want to stop and get something.
I was like, let me look up what time Thundercloud closed.
What were you looking for a spa or something for it?
I don't care anything.

Speaker 2 (37:37):
But that's where I made my mistake leaving, because I
arrived at eight pm and everything was closed. I should
have known that when I was leaving at eight pm
that everything was going to be closed. So then Thundercloud
closes at nine and we're pulling out of the airport
at eight twenty.

Speaker 1 (37:53):
I don't know if I've ever had one of those.
I've had a Jersey sub Jersey Mikes before. I've had
a toun Oh.

Speaker 2 (37:58):
Thundercloud is great, man whiz No. Uh yeah, they're good too,
but I don't know if they're around anymore. But Thundercloud
set nine.

Speaker 1 (38:04):
Used in Chicago. Knew that the Quiznos girl, she would
get me and my three buddies all Quiznos No charge,
that's seat said zero point zero zero, that's legit.

Speaker 2 (38:14):
And we rolled up to quit Thundercloud eighty seven. Those
two chicks working there, they look up. They already had
every grill cloth, they had all the knives clean. They
were wrapping like they had putting the plastic over like
the tomatoes, the lettuce, everything.

Speaker 1 (38:30):
Honey, you're gonna have to bring it back out. And
they you see them look at each other and say
something as I'm my dad pulled into the parking spot
and I walk in and they're like, can I help you? Yes,
they open till your hours that are posted.

Speaker 2 (38:45):
How was I'm gonna get a mosquite smoke chicken please
on wheat?

Speaker 1 (38:49):
Oh boy, I'm like sorry about this. You know. They're
like it's fine. See, but they can't do that. They
can't have attitude. I mean it says you're open till nine.
Don't get mad at me. That's when you actually want
to take the next step of risking it with your management.
You got a dim the light, start to lock the
door a little bit.

Speaker 2 (39:05):
And they were just like, you want let us tomato
onion on this. I just let us an onion please?
You want thundersauce yep, there you go, sir. It's eight
dollars ninety six cents. You want chips with that you have?
Do you want to buy chips? Eleven dollars? There you go,
thank you. I'm sorry about that, guys.

Speaker 1 (39:21):
It's fine. I start to think that about the golf course.
The people at the front aren't the managers. Managers are
at homes with their family, or they're out drinking, or
they're at a sporting event or a VIP thing. So
me and my father in law got done late. Sometimes
you just wonder when somebody's supposed to be in the clubhouse.
I mean, are they supposed to make sure you return
the cart? Right? So when I tell you we were
the last two carts at the golf course, like some

(39:44):
people dipped out early, right, of course we're supposed to
be in the clubhouse. Yes, okay, dude, like you're telling me,
business protocol is, Oh you guys, when the sun starts
to set, don't even worry about it. Just close up
inside and just make sure that they get the golf
cart anywhere near the barn. It doesn't even matter. And
actually we'll check in the morning. Who cares you're telling
me that's how the business is supposed to go. I

(40:05):
don't think so, no, no chance. We had at me
and Gary look at each other. There's not even somebody
here to get our cards. So where do we park
it on the eighteenth Green? I mean, I don't know.
How do they know we didn't take it?

Speaker 2 (40:14):
For leaving the lights on? You can just leave the
keys in it. I mean, what do you know someone
comes steal it and they blame you. It's like when
I worked at Walmart. Ryan worked with me, and I'd
work till ten and he worked till eleven, and we
all we did was get cars out of the parking lot,
and every night at ten he would leave me like, man,
I'm gonna do this by myself. He just leave it
at ten because guess what, the overnight people are gonna

(40:35):
have to come out and get the cars either way,
So he's like, why am I going to finish cleaned up?
I'll just go home.

Speaker 1 (40:40):
So he'd take it.

Speaker 2 (40:40):
I mean, I'm like, he didn't get paid for that hour,
but he left early every single night.

Speaker 1 (40:45):
Do you have to take a break. Let's take a break.
We'll right back. Go ahead. I got a quick hell
of a story, but it's t why to be careful.
So maybe that a subshop, you don't get in trouble.
Maybe at I need a crime bed for whatever reason.
Maybe at an airport you don't get in trouble. At
a golf course, you don't get in trouble. At a
telecommunication center like grinding communications, you don't get in trouble

(41:05):
because all you're doing is tap in your phone. Really
isn't show showing up when they do the audits. Where
you do get in trouble is the lumber mill. And
the reason they got in trouble is what they would
do is they were dipping out. They would they would
leave fifteen minutes early and then have another dude punch
him out. Oh oh but that's not good. No, that's

(41:27):
not what got him in trouble. Oh they could. So
they would favor each other, you know'd be like one
guy come in late. They'd always they had that, they
had each other's cards. I don't know how they really
did it. Maybe it was where you could print two cards.
Whoever knows how they did it. I don't namn no,
but guy was running late, Hey, punch me in. So
they were punch each other. Oh, our cards stayed at work. Yeah. Yeah,
they would be on the lop guy. Yeah wall So

(41:47):
these guys, it wasn't me father worked there. I could
have gotten uh dissunned as well as fired. The guy
would call it if they were late, Hey man, I'm
running fifte minutes late to wipe me in. So's wipe
each other in. If they wanted one them on to
dip out fifteen minutes early, hey, i'll get you to day.
You get me tomorrow, you'd dip out fifteen minutes early.
How they got caught is you can see their cars

(42:08):
driving around the lumber mill plant. And some people were like, hey,
I didn't know the summer students leave at three forty five.
And they're like, they don't, and he goes, I swear
I see cars every day leaving the lumber mill around
three forty five. And they're like, all right, we'll look
into it. Oh nope, everybody's punching out on time at
four o'clock and I don't know. So then they started
putting cameras on it and saw that the guy was

(42:28):
doing the swipes and the one guy would leave early.
One guy would And then they found out that guys
were coming in late and swiping each other. It was
a big swiping scam. Luckily I didn't get caught up
in it, damn. But it's because of that. So I
guess if they can see your car, just make sure
the manager doesn't see your car. You know.

Speaker 2 (42:43):
Yeah, you had a four digit code when you clocked
in at Sam's. And my buddy Mark would have me,
hey man, i'm running late, will you go whatever? He'd
go type him in, no big deal. But then Mark,
he could never get there on time, and the boss
warned him, said, hey man, you're late again.

Speaker 1 (42:57):
You're gonna be gone. Mark was late again.

Speaker 2 (43:00):
He got and Mark, you know what he used to
do is he used to why we were on the clock,
because we were just picking up cars out of the
parking lot. He would take our vehicles behind the Sam's
Club and change our oil. He would change our oil
while he was on the clock doing work for us.
On this car he'd run errand I mean it was crazy.

Speaker 1 (43:15):
That leads me to my next thing, so I'm not
gonna name him. There's some oil centers in town where
one of the bays, what do you know, is closed
down and you look and it's an employee's car and
in between doing oil for other people. You'll see him
go over to that car and there's no person in it.
So the employees are doing their oil while they're on
company time. Yeah, everybody's cutting corners. But me, damn it.

(43:42):
Then you know what we are too. We're in in
the podcast early we are. Yeah, it's a hell of
aoid end. I do want to say one thing that
needs to end. I saw this this weekend and maybe
you can explain it to me. So there's a play
and the guy jumps off sides, right, so they throw
the flag off sides, right, but they let the play continue.

(44:02):
They do that all the time, right.

Speaker 2 (44:04):
And they throw a bomb and it's it's like a touchdown,
But they throw another flag for offensive holding and they
say they offset, so replay the down.

Speaker 1 (44:17):
Excuse me? Tell me, if the guy doesn't jump off sides,
he wouldn't have to hold him. If you don't hold him,
your quarterback is gonna get killed. So why it should
be the off sides occurred first, so the holding does
not matter. And I've always felt that though if a
guy's off side, they should immediately rule the play. Do
I agree with you? Don't let them have a free play,

(44:40):
and the guy that's best at is Rogers. Rogers knows
how to tell when that happens, and then Rogers just
flicks it up and it's a touchdown. It's so unfair,
but he's playing the rule.

Speaker 2 (44:48):
I understand that it's either stop the play or you
can't call holding on that play because half the time
they get such a jump start they're gonna kill the quarterback.
So the guy reaches out and holds them so they're
offset add penalties. It's the stupidest thing in the world.
Stupidest thing in the world.

Speaker 1 (45:05):
And I will say the vibe. I love football, continue
to watch it. The other day, I die. But college
football has an NFL that new NFL kickoff bro, I
don't understand. I mean, there's no usually say here we go,
we're ready to start football. Maybe all right, they've got
to make it within a twenty yard window, and once
it hits, the ball needs to be grounded and then
the play must begin. I'm still trying to decide if

(45:28):
it's an advantage for the people receiving it or for
the people tackling, because it just seems easier in a
lot of ways. But there's really there's not the same
thing as the whole team running together as like an army,
like a warriors type thing. It's like braveheart. That's the
usual feel you get of guys running down the field.
Now now it's grounded. They've got to make it in

(45:49):
between the zero yard line and the twenty yard line
and all you see on the screen now at the start,
I was trying to take a picture and look so stupid.
It's all these big old zones of twenty yards that
they have highlight on the screen. I'm like, guys, let's
highlight these men going to battle instead of they're trying
to get it in some little claw machine square. They
don't even understand it themselves. Then announcers on Monday night,

(46:11):
the Dolphins said, we're gonna do an onside kick. I
heard it was an unmitigated disaster.

Speaker 2 (46:15):
So they punted it. They punted the onside kick, and
the Titans got away from it, like, don't touch it,
don't touch it.

Speaker 1 (46:22):
But it's an onside kick. But it's an onside kick.
But you know the thing is, so they do have
to declare it an onside kick, yes, And they declared
it an on side kick. Titans are so damn dumb. Oh,
they didn't even know. Even though they declared it was
an onside kick, they still didn't know it as an
onside kick.

Speaker 2 (46:35):
And the special teams coach for the Titans is going
crazy yelling at his dudes. The Dolphins recover it, obviously,
and they're like, oh, my god, that's gonna be Dolphins ball.
That's gonna be Dolphins ball. And then the announcers like, oh,
what are the refs huddling about? Did someone touch it?
Did what happened? And they the refs come on.

Speaker 1 (46:53):
He's like, uh, after further talk, it didn't land in
the proper zone, so it's a Titan this ball ten
yard penalty. It's like the announcer's like, oh, I guess
it went to not in the zone the landing zone,
So that'll be a penalty on the Dolphins. Will be
Titans ball from the ten yard line. Wait from what?

(47:14):
From the on the other side of the field. Yeah,
so they just had ten yards for a touchdown? No
they didn't. Real they did? Is they didn't. I swear, Oh,
this is amazing, but I don't understand, Like I still don't, like,
I don't know where the landing zone was when the
inside kick. You know what, that helps the overs because
it probably went over.

Speaker 2 (47:30):
Oh it also cost me a fantasy matchup one of
my leagues. I'd made a huge comeback because I had
Kenneth Walker scored three touchdowns and Tony Pollard got a
trash touchdown from the ten yard line and I lost.

Speaker 1 (47:40):
But that's all right. You don't understand about losing because
you're undefeated and you're the best team ever and we're
going home. I can't even read Justine's text. I'm like
twenty behind on him. Dude.

Speaker 2 (47:48):
We'll take a break and then you'll read Justine's text
right after this. Read them to me, just read them
real quick.

Speaker 1 (47:55):
All right. So this is ten text messages I haven't
even read yet, so I don't even't really know where
to bleep them at. But here you go. I said, uh,
I'm a seasoned coach, you're still wet behind the ears.
And this was and now in the last two hours,
this is what he's fired me with. This is a
four and oh team. Guys, if we were owned four,
we wouldn't even text Y. He goes, I'm a rising star.
I'm Anthony Edwards. You're Anthony Davis. I'm wet behind the dick.

(48:18):
Is okay? You are, Bill O'Brien. You're still a little
wet behind it. You are still a little wet behind
that dude. This is it. I can't make this up.
The problem is that you already dropped a guy and
if we don't lock up Blank, we're screwed. So you'd
better add some other. Brandon Cooks is out surgery. We

(48:45):
are royally Oh no, it doesn't matter. He's worth like
three points. Yeah. Well here you want to hear my
text from batters Box? Yeah, okay, where is battered there?
Everybody box.

Speaker 2 (48:57):
Devastating week in Fantasy lost by one point four to
six and one and point nine to four in another Yo,
this is all him, Yo, I need to talk Guillotine.
It's a different type of league where the lowest scoring
team every week gets kicked.

Speaker 1 (49:10):
Out Premier League.

Speaker 2 (49:12):
And I was like, cool, Uh, what do you need
to talk about? He goes a lot of players available,
need to think who I need to bid on. I'm like, okay,
call you in twenty This morning he texted me, Wow,
lots of bids in Guillotine. I'm like, I get it.
There was a lot of players available. Who went for what?

Speaker 1 (49:31):
He goes?

Speaker 2 (49:31):
Did you get in that survivor I sent you? I said,
I paid he goes, here's a link. Said all right, well,
who got bid on in guillotine?

Speaker 1 (49:41):
He goes? See you later. Yours are a lot more fun. Well,
and also, you guys got guillotine, you got survivory. He's
got two fantasy leagues. Tell me their lucrative is it
making money? Because if it don't make money, it don't
make sense.

Speaker 2 (49:56):
Now I'm not making any money right now, I'll keep losing.
So there you go. Well, happy Wednesday. We're gonna go
get haircuts today. The boys need haircuts.

Speaker 1 (50:04):
If you're waiting for Heisman, guys, watch out for Travis Hunter.
For whatever reason, he's dropped all the way to five hundred,
the kid from Colorado that plays both ways, plays both ways,
not goes both ways? And why? But we don't know. Yeah,
I'm telling you, but they got a tough schedule coming
out with Bike.

Speaker 2 (50:18):
You know, Shader Sanders is gonna be the number one pick. No,
he's gonna be the number one pick.

Speaker 1 (50:22):
I would hope it's a cam Ward or a Jalen Milroe.
Shadre Sanders is gonna be the number one pick in
the NFL draft. I would have it may be that
gentry dude out of Boise State. He's putting up like
four hundred yards and six touchdowns. That's pretty good. I
need them on my fancy team. Now.

Speaker 2 (50:37):
I'm just Shaudre Sanders is gonna be the number one pick.
He's gonna be the top quarterback taking well.

Speaker 1 (50:43):
He's already on every commercial. I see every Dion Sanders game,
regardless of who they're playing. Yeah, AFLAC, KFC. He's got
the KFC one. Yeah, and I think his line is
just ah. Does he even say a word. I don't
even know what he says. He just looks around and
goes ah. I don't know which one talks. One of
them talks, is it Sha Shador? The other one doesn't

(51:04):
even He's not even on anything. But he's not on.
There's like three. I thought it was all a dian
Oh Chadure is the famous one. Yeah. But who is
with them in the commercial? Probably Travis Hunter. There ain't
no way they have his brother in it because his
brother is not the amazing one. I know commercial with

(51:25):
Dion and Shilo Sanders, thank you. He's in it and
think about it when you want to think MLB playoffs,
I win, is this getting posted? I believe the Astros,
even Tigers are tough with that pitching, and they have
one of the best bullpens in the game. Tigers are
tough because of that. But I'm going to tell you
right now, he I mean, damn it. If they win today,

(51:46):
Tigers go all the way because the Yankees pitching is
terrible outside of Garrett Cole and they have a terrible bullpen.
The other side of it, the Dodger Padres man Awesomeres.
The Dodgers, It's almost like a Padres Phillies type thing. Heck,
maybe give me the Padres. And I want to say,
I mean Astros. I love the as I mean, Tigers

(52:08):
win that though they go all the way, they beat
they blow right through the Yankees and Cleveland, all them, Cleveland,
then the Yankees. It would be it's Tigers Padres, but
I kind of think Astros. So it's like it's like
Padres Astros. There you go, game you've already is already happening,
right you take the same championship as me.

Speaker 2 (52:29):
I announced it. I announced it on the pot. I
think on Friday maybe or Monday. I don't yeah, when
in here.

Speaker 1 (52:35):
Oh yeah, I didn't hear. That's that's funny. Oh my gosh,
that's funny. And guys, Christian McCaffery, like I said he'd
be the best rusher this year. Those kids of death,
Oh my god, I said, those forty nine ers are
gonna be the last undefeated. What are they? One and three? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (52:54):
Yeah, now they're two and two.

Speaker 1 (52:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (52:57):
I mean if you had Vikings as your last undefeated man,
and you I think you're gonna make some money if
they can win.

Speaker 1 (53:02):
All right, have a good Wednesday. We're out. Is my
mic still on? Is it working? Yeah? Okay, good, all right,
