Speaker 1 (00:07):
We're y'all loser? Whoa what up? Everybody? I am lunchbox.
I know the most about sports, so I'll give you
the sports facts, my sports opinions because I'm pretty much
a sports genius. Hey, what's up, everybody? I am Eddie
and I know the least about the sports. But I'm
(00:28):
your average sports fan, your sports watcher. I don't know
the who's who's, don't know the what's what's once upon
a time at Corona? And I am your number one
Dallas Cowboys. What's up, y'all? It is says and I'm
from the North. I have a wife named Bezer. We
live in West Nashville. If you need our address, looking
up online. And we have a special guest on the
(00:49):
line to rhyme, hold on, put them on, let's go.
Are you gonna introduce special guests? Introduce yourself? That's not
how it works, right right, that's not you introduced him? Yeah, guys,
it is Ryan heard come on, musical artists. That's in
(01:10):
the country genre. Wow, that's not rus introduction. That's ever happened.
We never do that type. Hey, we never do the
intros or anything like that, so we have no practice
or experience so it's obviously pretty rough. Well, let's be real, Ryan,
we we really don't even do interviews like ever. We've
had probably like five. I'm gonna let you all off
(01:32):
the hood by saying that I'm the one who begged
to come on this podcast, and my person is, why,
why the heck did you really want to come on
this podcast? We really appreciate it, but we were shocked.
We're like, you're just saying that to be nice. He
doesn't really want to come in. Why did you want
to come on? I listened to it, first of all.
Second of all, I love gambling on sports, and I
(01:52):
love country music, and you guys are the first ven diagram.
You're the first middle of that ven diagram that I've
ever found. So I'm talking about Ryan though both of
my world. You do you do listen to the podcast?
I want to know, honestly, honestly, because people love to
write us and tweet us and tell us the things
they don't like about the podcast. Give us your number
(02:14):
one thing that you do not like about this podcast.
Be honest that I don't like about it. I was
gonna tell you what I don't know. Want we want
the criticis what I do like about it. I like
that it's not um like a like the thing about
sports gambling is everybody wants to prove that they're sharp,
and I feel like this podcast is like the everyman
(02:34):
gambling podcasts, which I really like. It's like, if you
have five bucks, you can have a lot of fun
betting on a game this weekend. And that's that's kind
of what I really like about it. And what I
don't like about it is that intro at the beginning
that you just gave me. Now, when it comes to gambling,
how much? How much do you gamble to make it
(02:55):
fun for you? I I so usually I'm gambling like
thirty five fifty bucks on a game, but I started
my bankroll when it became legal. I started with just
like a couple of hundred bucks, and I've just used
that money, so I haven't like gotten wild with it.
(03:15):
And you know, every once in a while, Marit'll like
give me the side ie to make sure that I'm
not like throwing out like tons and tons and tons
of money, because you know, everybody has buddies that spend
a lot of money on this stuff, and I try
to just keep it to where I can I just
don't ever want to worry about it, you know. Yeah,
you know when you're watching a game, does it ruin
your mood if you lose your bed? Are you just like, oh,
(03:37):
that's kind of funny. I thought I knew something and
then you just move on with your life. It has before.
UM definitely happened to where those bad beats really do
crush you. Um, we had do you remember that? I
think it was it was last year that it was
the pitchy pitchy Woo game with the Eagles and the
(03:57):
Redskins and I had I had Washington and they did
the old dipsie do at the end, and I think
Washington ended up like backdoor covering in like the worst way. Ryan.
Are you like me when you see crap like that?
Or like when Todd is it Todd Gurley that fell down?
You know, when you see crap like that and it
(04:18):
affects your bet and it doesn't matter what side of
the bet you're right, Well, I guess it does kind
of matter when you're side. Do you ever start thinking, Okay,
this could be totally rigged. Yes, absolutely, undeniably, Yes, I
do think that If you don't think that all these
guys who are running sports leagues aren't looking at spreads.
You are very very wrong, Thank you. What about coaches?
(04:41):
Do you think coaches look at spreads? I think Saban
looks at spreads, but I don't think anybody else does.
See I think it's too hard to be a coach.
I think you're kind of right. College. I think Saban
is so bored that he is is like, well, I
have to at least cover the first half spread, because
(05:02):
I took Alabama first half in every Alabama game this
year except for one, and I think I was like
ten and one. Very interesting because I think maybe Saban
might look at the spread because he knows listen, he's
he's so dominant, he's bored, like you said, and you
gotta keep the boosters happy, so he has to run
(05:23):
up the score. Exactly, That's exactly right. I don't think.
I think it's too hard to be a coach in
any other if you're not saving to really care that
much about it. But I think the NFL, you know,
is like, you know, the Chiefs didn't cover until this
last weekend, like it was like ten in a row, right,
So I'm like, man, that's that's some weird stuff. To
(05:45):
have a team that that's that's that good and that
dominant not cover one spread for ten straight weeks, what's
the deal of it? But but you should know the NFL,
Like you see a ten point spread and you're just like,
come on, the Chiefs, give me a break. But you
know they don't go very high in the NFL games,
So a ten point spread you think automatically, oh, the
Chiefs can cover that. But we should know that any
(06:06):
team in the NFL is gonna win, any team in
the NBA is gonna win. It's college. To me, that's
the easier one to bet on when you have like
when you have Ohio State plane yeah, oh yeah, let
me tell you, Ohio State's easy to judge when they're
a forty two point favorite. How the hell do you
look at that and be like, yeah, that's an easy
game because you have Clemson versus Appalachian State, and you're like,
(06:26):
of course they're gonna win by fifty, like there's no doubt,
and and and and the Vegas odd will not go
over like two. Think that college is a little bit
a little bit easier to handicap. And uh, I also
love baseball, like I think are My biggest winner I've
ever had was that plus three forty with just a
(06:49):
random Orioles games that I looked at it and the
pitching matchup looks kind of off to me, and I
was like, I'm gonna take the Orioles money line tonight,
and and it actually hit. So that was a little
bit before the legal game blame was happening. It was
more on the the offshore. Uh got a buddy kind
of deal, but uh, but it was. It was definitely
like those are the fun things. Is like when you
(07:10):
can get into like some random baseball game or I
love the like last year for basketball, we we wrote
the Celtics pretty hard, and then we wrote I always
love the Yankees team total over because you know Yankees
are gonna hit two or three home runs a game
that the totals are always like five or six or
seven depending on the pictures, So it's always fun to
root for home runs. Can I just say you're an
(07:31):
absolute degenerate? Like you are an absolute degenerate, Like you
are betting on every sport and every game o Celtics playing,
got a bed night, Yankees are playing? Or who the
hell bets on the Orio love it, but that's where
you make money. There's no one's willing to battle guys.
You know. You go deep into like the Twitter world though,
and there's guys who are betting, Like I have a
(07:51):
first quarter NBA system. It's like, no, you don't. You
don't have a system for the first quarter of NBA games.
That's just a coin flip. That's not that's candy capping
in any way, Like I don't anyway, that's how you
lose money. Parlay's and first quarter NBA, which is basically
my last month of my life. Heard questions, So we're
(08:12):
talking sports gambling, and I know, uh, here in Tennessee,
we don't have the tables. We do have the slots,
but unfortunately there's no black jack, ruly craps, any of that.
But my question is when you go to other states.
You tour Vegas, whatever one's Florida has some casinos, um
Indian reservations have casinos with tables. Are you playing black
jack craps or do you Is it really just sports
(08:34):
betting for you heard it's just sports betting. I I
just we're in I mean, you're right, we're in casinos
all the time. It's it's kind of like it gets old.
Quit Um, it's not, and not every casino is Vegas,
so you're so I generally stay out of them. But
I just I grew up playing sports and loving sports,
(08:56):
and I love like I just I'm a huge Titans
and Pread fan, and so the gambling part is just
that's just a fun extension of that. And if you
keep it fun and you don't get too extended, it's
it's a great little hobby. No, not no other table
games or anything. Pamp you said that, Uh you do
the thirty five dollar bets, Maybe you go thirty, maybe
(09:17):
you go fifty. Are are you willing to share if
you have just that one bet that you were like,
I mean, that's very close to the biggest bet I've
ever made. And if you remember the team or the
game that it was on. So I put like, I
put a lot of money out there before. I mean,
we did, uh we we Uh. I had I had
my cousins come in town a couple of weeks ago
(09:39):
for a couple of months ago, just like a little
Corona hanging like everybody get tested and we'll hang out
at our house for the weekend kind of thing. And
we won the better game. So we each put like
five on the Celtics to beat who who they played
in the It was like playoffs. Um, anyway, we we
we all put five hundred on the Celtics and and
they say, fun, I like fifty or something. It was
(10:02):
one of the more fun bets that I've ever had.
Every single bucket was it was it just jubilation. But yeah,
I mean, well I've put more money than that out there.
Just generally I'm in, like the if it's like a
small bet, like thirty five, generally I'm around fifty seventy five,
and then sometimes I know hundred hundred something, but not not.
You know, there's guys up there who are trying to
pay their mortgage doing this stuff, which is definitely I
(10:24):
try to keep it pretty small. So who are your teams?
You say you like the Preads and Titans, but that's
because you live here, But like, as you're growing up,
who what teams are you watching? Going that's my team?
Ryan heard loves the Blank. So I was born in Chicago,
so I got to see Jordan's play a couple of
times when I was a kid. I was obviously you
(10:45):
did oh yeah, like I think four times so I
saw him one United Center when I was like four.
I'm not I'm not twenty three anymore. I wish I was. Uh.
I saw a couple of times of the United Center,
so uh, that was a big deal. Um. And then
(11:05):
let's see, I moved to Nashville and just was like,
this is amazing. I'm I want to be a Preds
fan because our our building is so great. It's the
best fan experience I think for all it holds up
against any team in any sport in my opinion. Um.
And I also grew up a big Braves fan because
my uncle used to fly us down to Atlanta, so
I got to go to the All Star Game in
(11:26):
the World Series in Atlanta. So always been a big
Braves fan. And then, um, because I grew up I
grew up in Michigan, I was sort of my family
was Chicago. My friends were all Detroit fans, so I
kind of felt like a man without a team. So
when we got to Nashville, it was all Titans. Okay, Ryan,
I got a questions. You just it just reminded me
(11:47):
of this because you talk about the Braves, but I
remember you watching you Was it the World Series or
was it a National League. Wow, that's a great memory
there because I don't know what it was one of
the games, one of the obviously, what was it the
first game of the Braves Cardinal series last year? Okay,
And and Ryan is sitting like right behind home plate,
he's on the key, he's in the camera. Oh yeah, yeah,
(12:08):
he's right there. There's the batter, the catcher umpire before COVID.
This is what two years ago, Ryan, two years ago,
two year and a half ago. Okay. So this is
an argument we have all the time on the show
where we're like, where's the best seat in the house?
And I feel like it's amazing sitting where you were,
but Lunchbox thinks it's not very good because you don't
(12:29):
have a good view of the field back there, So like,
what is it really like to sit back there? Amazing
questions that I don't know. That was one of the
most amazing things I've ever seen. I've sat near there
at the Cubs game before, but that was that was
just the most amazing seat I've ever seen. My my
(12:49):
friend Tyler Jordan from Real Tree actually ended up. Do
they do a lot of work with sun Trust and
sun Trust is the biggest sponsor of the Braves, so
they ended up gifting us those tickets, and that was
one of the most amazing sports experiences I've ever had.
I wish I had like one or two less beers
that day, but I saw you. You stacked them up
right in front round of the brig. So wait, you
(13:12):
were you were right the net, the net was you
were the first person after the net. No coach, he
was the catcher. Coach. Yes, so I'm asking basically right,
he could have been the third row. It doesn't matter
when you're that close, because I like, that's a that
seat's good. But I feel like you can't see, like
you were blocked by the umpire and the catcher, so
you can be you can kind of guess there was
(13:33):
a striker a ball, but you don't really know. I've
sat behind home move over all these if I had,
I think, if I had like a season ticket, like
this is my seat, yes, I would pick like exactly
where that seat was, but in the upper deck. So
like the first row of the upper deck over home plate.
(13:57):
All right, maybe you're right. Then there's hey, Ryan, when
you that's when you're that close, are you yelling to
the to anyone are you yelling at the players? Are
the up? Ryan does not strike? I'd tell you what.
I got like two d text messages that day. Yeah,
we all saw you. Yeah, so that's it was more
(14:18):
like I was looking at my phone the whole time.
When when a foul ball comes, did you flinch? Hell yeah, yeah,
hell yeah Yeah. That was that was wild. I mean,
I've gotten to do some really cool stuff I love.
I've gotten to work with the Cubs a lot, and
I've gotten to do the seventh inning stretch um, which
was really just probably the most nerve wracking thing I've
(14:40):
ever done, getting this thing taking me out to the
ballgame at Regally Field, UM, and I'm gotten to throw
out the first pitch there. I mean, it's really cool.
Like when you do music like this, I mean, Cole
Swandell is a good example. Like all these guys who
played music kind of wish that they played sports, and
all these guys who played sports kind of wish they
did music. So there's a lot of operats entities to
(15:00):
just do stuff that like is not I don't know,
you just kind of have to pinch yourself. And I
don't know, I've really been lucky to get an opportunity
to meet some of great people and to get you know,
get into some really cool situations. And I don't take
that for granted at all. I speaking of meeting cool people,
who are some of the cool athletes you've met? Huh,
(15:24):
you know what, I've become buddies with Matt du Shane
in Nashville, who's our second line centers, this great player,
a great person, and he loves country music and is
a big guitar collector. So uh, I really enjoyed that.
And then like gotten to know h Taylor Lawan and
Will Compton on the Titans on their amazing dudes just
(15:47):
um incredible, incredible people that just are just fun to
hang out with. And I think you kind of realized,
like all these guys are your age now, or in
my case, like a couple of years younger, which is
kind of funny because you grow up thinking athletes are
like you know, always you kind of have that that
thought in your head that they're all older than you,
even when you're a grown up. But uh, yeah, I've
(16:09):
enjoyed like Pete Alonso from the Mets sent me in Jersey.
Oh yeah, and apparently he's just I've never met him.
Nicest student in the world apparently. Uh so it's oh,
I'll tell you what. One time, this is actually one
of my when when you work in music, you guys
(16:30):
deal with this stuff famous people a lot, so you
kind of have to play it cool. Well, one time
we were at the Grammys in New York City and
I walked into the hotel lobby and I see Jim Tommy,
the baseball players of the Indians, and he had just
that day been like gotten like the announcement came to
(16:51):
that he was inducted into the Hall of Fame. So
I freeze and we make eye contact, and he sees
me freak out internally. And I walked up to him
and I said, hi u, Mr Tony. I'm a huge fan,
and I just want to say congratulations on being inducted
into Hall of Fame. And it was like, okay, cool,
and I like kind of slink off to the elevator
(17:13):
and I get in the elevator and all of a sudden,
like they get in the elevator, you already said goodbye, code,
you gotta run down the stairs or something exactly. So
like we're in this elevator and I'm trying to like
play it cool again, and he's like, what are you
in New York for it? It's like, my my wife's
nominated for a Grammy, so we're going to the Grammys.
(17:34):
And his daughter actually was like oh, then she recognized me.
And he ended up that next year sending a jersey
that was personalized and really kind. So I don't know
that's it's that was just happenstance that wasn't even because
of being in music. So that's on the jersey. Did
he say I enjoyed the elevator ride? That would have
(17:58):
been awesome. I think might have taken that in an
odd way. That is, that's really funny. That's like I
saw Mark Grace is my favorite baseball player of all time,
and I ran into him in the lobby of a
hotel in Houston and I saw him and I didn't
know what to say, and I was like, I shook
his hand, was like, I love you, man, and he
was like thanks, and then and then he love you.
(18:21):
I said, I love you. And then he said, does
anybody have a piece of gum? And I pulled out
my whole pack of green extor. I said, here, man,
you can have the whole pack that That was my
meeting with Mark Grace. It was so amazing. And he
walked away and I was like, I just told him
I love him, Like how how stupid did I look?
And feel really stupid? But he took my pack of
(18:43):
gum and went out and got in a car with
a chick. So my gum went to good use for Mark. Hey,
my story is my dad, who knows nothing about doesn't
watch sports nothing. We're boarding an airplane and even about
We're on our way to Houston and we're boarding the
airplane and I see Jeff Bagwell getting the plane and
I'm freaking out, like, oh my gosh, Jeff Bagwell is
(19:06):
on the plane. And my Dad's like, who's Jeff Bagwell? Oh? Dad,
he plays for the Astros. I mean, this dude is
a freaking hit her like this guy that so then
my so, then when we get on the plane, my dad,
who knows nothing about sports, says, hey, let's sit right
here next to Jeff Bagwell. I'm like, oh my god.
So my dad sat next to Jeff Bagwell. I did not.
(19:29):
I kept going back and he talked to Jeff Bagwell
the whole time, not knowing a single thing about sports.
I'm like, dang it, dad, embarrass the crap out of me.
How old were you? I must have been like, and
doesn't your dad does he speak a little Spanish? My
dad speaks Spanish. I'm telling you he probably called him Bagwell,
(19:49):
like really has no idea who the dude was. So
as a ten year old, you just kept walking and
sat by yourself when you had a chance to sit
next to Jeff Bagwell. Right, that's my story. That's embarrassing, man,
I know, it's terrible. It's terrible. Hey, Ryan, I got
a question though, So so when you so, are you
a Michigan fan? What's your college? Yeah? That's probably that's
(20:12):
My favorite team is Michigan. So how do you feel
about Hard? I was hoping that you wouldn't bring it up. Well,
I mean, he just signed an extension. I mean, I
don't know why he got an extension. I don't know
why it was five years, but uh, I mean, I
(20:35):
guess the only thing you can say about Michigan is
at least they're not Tennessee. I mean, I don't even
know if they're not Tennessee. Just I don't know. I
just it's kind of tough to see any like silver
lining there. But uh, I don't know. I went to
(20:55):
the Notre Dame game last year and they crushed Notre
Dame and it was so fun and um, that's kind
of my last good Michigan football memory. Yeah, all right,
I got a mailbag you want to hear. All right,
sore losers, got a question for you. I've been doing
this online dating thing and I've been I guess dating
(21:17):
this girl for a month or what it here. It's
a girl we've never met in person. And I had
my birthday last week and she asked me what I
did for what I got for my birthday and I said, oh,
I didn't get anything for my birthday. So four days
later a package arrives. It's a Dolphin shirt because I'm
(21:37):
a Dolphins fan of the Dolphins hat, and it's from her.
The only problem is I've never given her my address.
Should I be creeped out? Ryan, Yes, absolutely be creeped out.
I've never had to do online dating, so oh sorry,
(22:00):
Marion more sorry you know, okay, well that but anyway,
I think that if somebody has scooped your address without
you knowing or giving it to them, that's a little odd.
So I don't know. Maybe that's like the only creepy
thing about it, and that's like that that could probably slide.
(22:21):
But if there's other red flags, then they have your address.
I think that maybe it's time to uh get a
new profile. But what but what if like it's it's
so romantic though that she researched all this stuff enough
because she likes you that much to give you this gift. Yeah, okay,
all right, so what do you I'm serious, guy, is
(22:42):
that creep in my house? Oh? Coach, you gotta get it.
We need to actually stop the podcast. You need to
get that bird. What what is it? Exactly? Is it
a is it a blue jayl in Oriole You were
talking about the Orioles bat earlier. Coach, you can let
it roll. I'm just kid, We roll everything, Coach, what
if it roll? Is it pooping everywhere? Because that's when
(23:02):
you freak a bird out, they start crapping on everything. No,
not yet, I'm trying to play it cool before Marion
sees it. And then there's I just saw there's a
there's a dead mouse on my porch. It's time for
you to move, man. It sounds like the bird was
carrying the mouse and dropped the mouse on the back
porch as it was coming in the house. Yeah, this
(23:22):
is this is a weird morning. Now, Ray, did you
want to ask? Uh, we can talk more about betting.
But hey, is it under wraps with in the in
the dead rat? Is everything gonna be okay? Ryan? What
do you think of the Super Bowl? Who you got
in the Super Bowl? Tom Brady, Michigan Football. It's basically
(23:43):
the only thing we have to root for is Tom.
So Uh, I'm all in on Tom. I don't care
what the spread is, but uh, but yeah, I'm excited.
I think that like seeing Brady and Mahomes is really
really awesome. Well, the question is that we get you're saying, Tom,
are you? Are you betting that way? Or you maybe
is it one of the games you just don't bet
because it's already the Super Bowl? He's betting the Super
(24:05):
Bowl if he bets on the Orioles on Wednesday night
in the middle of Bowl. Now do you do Do
you do squares or do you just bet on the game? Oh?
I love squares, but I usually just bet the spread
and some props. What kind of props do you like?
The one like who scores first? Do you like that one? No?
(24:27):
I generally do like yardage or receptions or something like that.
Love that, dude. The one of my faves is quarterback completions.
Usually it hovers eighteen nineteen twenty. That's a good one
to watch because every quarter you're rooting for about four
or five, it's like are you rooting for the completions
or against them? And then the score can affect your completion.
(24:47):
So if you know, if you've got a completion of
twenty two and your team starts losing, that's actually better
for your bet because they're gonna start passing more. I'm
a huge proponent of the props. The only problem is
if you're trying to put down heavy bets, sometimes they
limit you on the props to like a hundred or
two hundred, which is a good amount, but they do you. Yeah,
they stop you. They don't want you putting because I
(25:10):
guess and there's reasons we can't bet college if you're trying, well,
we can bet the games, but you can't do uh
fan duel or Kings player. No, you can't do like
so there's on FanDuel you can play college basketball draft
Kings and FanDuel. But they don't let us do it
in Tennessee because so lives we live so near to Vanderbilt.
(25:31):
Or in basketball, they don't let you do the player
props because maybe you can talk to a player. I
have no idea to try doing it. You can't bet it.
They don't even allow you to do it. You can't.
And you think it's because we can go to Sarah
Fula right now and say, hey, miss it. I don't know.
Maybe that's the reason. I'm not saying, but there is
a reason why we're not allowed to do it, and
that might be because of our proximity to Vanderbilt. I
(25:53):
don't know, what do you think, Ryan, I've never ever
once thought about it, but I think that makes a
lot more sense. I think that like college games are
a lot easier to influence than pro games. Hey, I
could see that, honestly. I don't think that's the dumb
that's a dumb part. Like I don't think that's a
stupid idea or a reason to not have player crops.
The whole amateurism thing I think plays into it, have
(26:15):
to play into it at some point, right he just
listen heard, So what me and Eddie have realized now
that it's gambling and it's legal here in Tennessee. Is
there's the bets you placed before the game. But what
is also a very fascinating component component to betting is
the live betting. Have you partaken in that? Okay, I'm
(26:35):
gonna shout out Mike at the at w x o U,
one of my favorite bartenders in the world in New
York City West Village. The greatest bet that you can
make is the NFL second half under. Is that for
every NFL game. Why why I didn't I didn't We
need to know what bartender, what his strategy is. So
(26:57):
so essentially this is essentially what happens. Right, it has
to be a game with a lot of points. Its
called like like especially a game where it's like a
little bit of a blowout. Right, the second half live
under is essentially they try to put the live UH
total on a on just a straight line. Right. So essentially,
(27:19):
if they scored twenty two points in the first half,
there there you're betting on twenty points in the second half.
But essentially if the team is out in front, they're
going to take the air out of the ball, right,
So I'm always assuming somebody. I'm always I didn't explain
that very well, but I'm always assuming that somebody's taken
the air out of the ball in the second half.
And that's my second half team, my second half total
(27:40):
total under. So you watched the whole first half and
then you root against the second half. You just want
nothing to happen the whole second half, got it. No,
he's saying that it won't really happen the second half, right,
because it's such a high scoring first half. They based
the second half on the first half, which probably usually
it's not going to replicate itself in the second half.
And he learned that from w oh something bartender in
(28:01):
the West West, which is probably closed, right, Mike at
w SU in the West Village. Thanks man, here's one
from the Herd Herdline news. That bad always hits. That
always hits, unless it doesn't. Of course, everything I've bet on.
(28:22):
It's sort of like in Matthim McConaughey's book when he's
talking about how he was in Vegas with his brother
and he's like the super Bowl and the Bills and
they made like four thousand in blackjack and they bet
all this stuff on the Bills and at halftime Bills
played the Cowboy. They're up twelve to three or something
that at half or fourteen to three, and they lost
thirty one fourteen. They didn't score the whole second that
he said he lost every single bet, all four thousand
(28:45):
dollars of him and his brother's money. Wow, well, you
know it always hits unless it doesn't. Yeah, that's awesome. Dude. Hey,
are you guys gonna write a book? Yeah, we easily could.
With would definitely the premise of the book would be betting.
It would have a chapter where Eddie talks about gambling. Book.
I think, uh, either way, I'll read the first and
(29:12):
then the second chapter would be all about lunch Box,
because lunch Box claims I never bet, I would be
addicted and never logged off the website. But we find
out he's in squares, we find out that he does fantasy,
we find out that he doesn't pick him. Well, guess
what that's considered gambling and you ended up spending about
a thousand dollars. Bryan, Please please, I know I know
you're an online gambler, like like us, right, please explain
(29:33):
to lunch Box that it's okay to online gamble. I
never have to hold on and you have to be
strong enough to pull the money out when you're up.
When when you're up sounds like it sounds like he
just doesn't want it. He wants it all under the table. No,
you don't want anybody. Do you want anybody looking at
what he's doing? He doesn't want to get a tax form.
(29:56):
I'm very private, might be. No, he here's my here's
my belief. My belief is I'm not gonna bet enough.
And I and if I get online, I started get
up three hundred dollars. Am I gonna pull that three
dollars out? No? So I'm no matter what, no matter
what money I put in, eventually I'm going to lose it. Ryan.
(30:16):
Is that the case with you? Do you just leave
your money in if you cash out? Don't you exact
point I'm saying. So, I like to sports gamble when
I'm in Vegas because it's like the opportunity. I'm there
maybe once or twice a year pre COVID, and so
it feels like something new and special, and it's like, Oh,
(30:38):
I'm on vacation, this is so fun. I'll sports gamble too.
I think. I mean you very much could just like
get up like if you put in like a hundred
bucks and then get up another hundred bucks. You could
take your under bucks. But but that hundred dollars do
you see? That's what most normal people do. But it's
not that's not me. I want to do squares where
(30:58):
I win five hundred boom all right over. Hey, that's
not him, Ryan. But what he'll do is he'll text you, Hey, Ryan,
you have an online account route, Hey, will you bet
two d from me again on the Super Bowl? Thank you?
That's that's that's a little much. Either it don't, man,
either do it or don't. Here's the thing I do
pick them, I do fantasy, I do this, I do that.
(31:20):
But I don't bet on the games every week because
I'm like I said, I'll never cash out squares. It's
a one time thing. You put fifty bucks in and
it's one game and if I win, I get my
money and I go home. It's that easy. I think
I think you should Here's what I think you should do.
I think you should give yourself a gift and you
should put a little bit of money and you fandue
account and say I'm never taking this out. This is
(31:41):
the money I'm gonna play with. There you go, and
then just say I'm I'm never taking it out, and
then you don't have to worry about it. Herd Line,
It's birthday present to yourself. Another question here, um, so
this is why you calling him herd line. I don't know.
I just think of names for people as we do
the podcast. Fun little things you do with podcasts. All right, So,
I mean I've been called work like douche. I don't know.
(32:04):
This is Bobby's podcast. I'm gonna keep it clean, Bobby's podcast.
So you guys work with Bobby. Everything we say is analyzed. Anyways, Coach,
what I was gonna ask you? So this is a
dead serious question. You guys can laugh at it. But
when you're about to do a bet, I heard you
tell Bobby on the Big Show you had said something that, oh,
I bet the Browns a couple of weekends ago or something.
So when you're gonna do a bet, are you researching
(32:25):
for thirty minutes you just pull up ESPN dot com?
Do you not research at all and go with your gut?
I'm dead curious what exactly you do before a bet,
because everybody kind of has their things. I mean, I'm
more like, this is my gut feeling, this is my
lean and then I go and I have like four
or five people or like guys on Twitter or articles
(32:48):
that I was reading, like, oh, so so and so
if George's tailing, the George is betting the Browns, I'm
gonna be the Browns too, right because I already felt
like I wanted to bet the Browns. And if George is,
then I'm in. Yeah. And if Bill from w G
O barton Night Music Mike, if he's in, then I'm
definitely in. I was just curious on that thank you
(33:10):
heard line alright? Heard line anything else? Guys? No, I
think that's before we end this with you. We want
to apologize because no one our listeners don't realize that
we were an hour late calling you, but we do
personally know we're an hour late getting you on, and
we want to say we apologize for being an hour late.
And that's why it's hard for us to line up guests,
(33:32):
because we never know our schedule and it looks it
looks really bad on us. And I want to apologize
and I want to say thank you for sitting around
for an hour twiddling your thumbs and chasing birds on
the podcast and I were talking, Man, he knows, he
knows we're all good, he knows everything. We're fine. Man,
you guys should have more guests. I think it's a
great podcast. And Lunch acts like we have a squeaky
(33:53):
clean image. It really affects us and makes us look bad.
We're drugs. No sorry, right right, I'm talking about to
the guests because the guy is like, well, what the
hell is going on? I think you're fine. It's like,
here's my here's what I think about gambling. Everybody's a
bad golfer and everybody bet on sports. Wait wait, wait,
you're a good golfer though, man, right, no, no, I'm not.
(34:14):
Nobody's a good golfer. Well that's not true. I've heard,
like Jake Owens a good golfer. One guy is good.
Who out of all these country guys, who's the best golfer?
Because because because lady lady, a guy says what Charles
Kelly says, he's a great golfer. Jake's I'm sorry. There
are good golfers, alright. Dustin Lynch says he's good. Okay, Yeah,
(34:38):
they're all good. I suck. So I played with Brad
Percy from Old Dominion the most because we're close. We're
close to the same level. And like when you say
close to your level, like what do you shoot? I'm
like a fourteen handicap twelve. And then but Jake's day's
pretty much a stick. He's like a he's pretty scratched.
(34:58):
Colstondale is really good, Dustin is really good. Party is
pretty good golfer to party. Jamison rodd Yeah, Jamison Rodgers
is a good golfer. So basically everyone's good except for me.
But I like, but my my, I like to say
that nobody's good just to make myself feel better. Okay,
I got you, all right, Ryan, Well, we really do
appreciate it. Man, you want to plug his new single, Dude, Ryan, Hey,
(35:20):
what's what's your what's your favorite? Ryan? Ah? The twine
one Diamonds and Twine? Hey, Ryan, I had to tell
I had to look. Here are the list of Ryan Sholto.
I knew diamonds and twine? Is it called diamonds and twine?
I don't know enough? Yeah, exactly. There you go. Appreciate
(35:41):
all right, Ryan, Thanks dude, dude, thanks for coming on. Yeah,
you guys have a great one. Let's do it again.
We would love to. Hey, have you got an offer
if you can an offer to go to the super Bowl.
You know, you can take one of us. You know
I went one year and it was incredible, but it
was five degrees in Minneapolis. It was horrible. Oh that so,
but the super Bowl itself is amazing, but the weather
(36:05):
was just the worst. Hey, but uh, next time. Man, Hey,
Bobby should get a sweep for you guys next time.
And I agree with that. I like where your heads out?
What do you got right? For the herd line? Before
let him go? Herd line? Quick question? What kind of
chores is Maren got you doing today? I just have
to change the diapers. Man, that's not bad, that's not
(36:28):
We're just saying care of the kid. I mean, does
the baby sleep through the night? Now? Uh, well, I
put it. This is terrible. I basically say, at seven
o'clock in the next twelve hours of yours to do
with as you please. So I'm not really sure. I
hope he is. Ryan quick in there for twelve hours.
Quick question just reminded me I did want to ask
you this, So you have a little boy. When you
(36:49):
have a son, do you automatically start thinking, all right,
how am I going to get him into sports? And
and I want him to be a professional athlete? Or
do you want to be an athlete? You want him
to be an a or do you want to be
a musician? Like what's the whole thought process when you
have a boy and you're just like, this is what
I want him to be. I want him to be
a math major. No music, I don't know. I think
(37:13):
that it's it's gonna be a lot of pressure for
him to, you know, if he ever wants to do music,
just because his mom is Marin and you know, we
both make a living doing it, So whatever I want
him to. I hope he wants to do the stuff
that I like just because I like to do it
and it'd be nice to have a buddy. But I
think for the most part, at this point, you're just
trying to make sure that he's he's said yeah with that.
(37:37):
But you know, I think, like, you know, the cool
part is Nashville such a great sports town that he's
going to have every opportunity to like it. So uh,
I hope, I hope that that's something that we can
get into together. I don't know that that's kind of
the best answer I can give, because it's hard to
it's hard to be a parent, and I think that
like it's mostly just like a day to day grind.
(37:59):
See the guys. The guys laughed at me because I
was all, I'm already taking pictures of them in like
in like jerseys, like Cowboys jerseys and Patriots jerseys and
then baseball jersey that just in case though they do
end up playing professional sports, because you know, they the
announcers love that angle of love. Oh, look, he was
(38:20):
destined to be a long horn. He's been along or
he's been wearing a long horn jersey since he was
six months. So I want to have that out of
Michigan Michigan gear as much as I can because I
want it to be known that he was wearing Michigan
stuff because it's probably gonna be he's the first kid
in our family that's gonna be like a Tennessee native,
and I don't want him like growing up wearing all
(38:40):
that orange and whatnot. Now is Marin athletic, so you know,
because you're athletic. So is Mayorn athletics. So your kids
should have good genes or guess know on Mary and
being athletic. Wow, she's she's athletic, but she's not a
sports fan. But she's a good sport I'll say that. Okay,
take it good, alright, heard heard everybody. Let's thanks dude, Hey,
(39:05):
thank you guys. Let's do it again. That was fun.
All right, can't talk to you, see you guys. Later
heard line guys, quick shout out real quick. I think
he liked it. Shows your shout out to my boy
j and Sydney. They wanted a live read from the
live twitter. They they're in Mobile, Alabama, Jay and Sydney
(39:27):
Scotah scuds. Uh. He wants to do a beer after
quarantine live tweet. Thanks man. Okay, now right do we
want to go to the voicemails? So we just want
to say that they are fully loaded. Executive producer Steve
from Mandrow hooked it up. So if you guys want these,
I'm ready to pump you right in the butt with him.
What here we go here? Hit us on the butt
with it. Paul and Austin bring back call her daddy,
(39:50):

to the sports pans and someone who doesn't know I
think he wants colored out he can called the wrong number. Okay, great,
her daddy said bring back colored because they broke. What
time was that voicemail left? Probably this one is four
(40:12):
sore losers. It's no name, so I Losers Nation. I
just wanted to give a shout out. I love the coaches.
My sister and I call each other coach coachy coachers,
So keep up the good work. Love listening to you
all every day, and can't wait for the new podcast
to come out. Go cheese, Thanks, Thanks coach. Appreciate that
coach one left this one, uh talking about the Little Show, Sissan,
(40:38):
Eddie and launch no name coach, I was looking for
the little show Kail, Susan Eddie and Lunch. Hello coachures,
you're doing an awesome job. Shout out from the game Texas.
Aesome game Texas. I parted there at t l U
a few times. The fact they talk like us kind
(40:58):
of awesome. Coach. Oh, Jay, you guys ever been to
tell you I went to a couple of parties that
I've been a good time. Good time? Is that the college?
I mean it sounds like like was that community college.
I think it's Texas Lutheran University. Coach. We did. We
did some parties at the schools called University of Texas
and Texas State University and Texas A and m oh.
(41:21):
I got a couple of Texas A and M parties.
Dudeen were nice. Billy went to Tech and he said
it would. I had some you know where I had
a lot of friends go to, but I never went
to visit them. Bailor all boys school. Baylor's no fun,
That's what I'm saying. I never went. You know, no
one goes to No one goes to Baylor to have fun.
I swear to god. I met a girl on a cruise.
(41:42):
She was a student at the time at Baylor, and
she said she drank every day at Baylor because it
was so boring. She became an alcoholic. It's a depressing story,
but it tells me the culture. It just seems like
people drinking there. Did she did? She recover? She was
doing better now. Man, she's still coach, and don't talk
to her. Married now fell off the wagon. What do
you fell off? That's when you're still drinking. Yeah, you have,
(42:04):
don't you have? Those people that you're wondering about from college,
and you're like, did they fully fall off? Go to
there was this one dude. Go to Facebook. You'll see you. Man,
you want to feel good about yourself, go to Facebook
and took out some of the dudes that that were
badass in college. So so here was a quick little
life lesson and a kid. So my son is like, man,
I want to play sports. I'm like, dude, look, I'm
gonna be real with you, Like, you're just not an athlete?
(42:27):
What ye already He's already in middle school And the
reason he wants to be an athlete is because his
friends are athletes. I'm like, but son, they are, they're athletes,
they play. You are gonna be better than that. You're
gonna be a freaking scientist, a doctor, a filmmaker, director, something.
Your brain is unbelieva. But he wants to play sports
(42:47):
in middle school. You should let him play. Now, in
middle school, they're gonna laugh at him. So so I
am no, no, you go out for the team. He
may get cut because in middle school, you start getting
cut from team when you start showing everyone how bad
you are, they start making fun of you, and then
they talk and then they tell everyone about the tryouts
and how you were terrible. Your buddies are there, so
you want to hang with your buddies, and your buddies
(43:08):
make fun of you. What I did is I went
to Facebook and showed him some of the star football
players that we had in high school and where they're
at today. And I was like, look, that's where he's
at today. And this dude was bad ass. He was
a starting quarterback, had all the chicks in the world.
Now look at him, see I wish I And then
I showed him Elon Musk. This dude didn't play football.
(43:29):
Did you see what his mom said that she knew
he was a genius at like four years old. Did
you show a kid any pictures of girls in mikinis, coach?
Or then did you show many of the hotties had
stayed hot? Then I showed him Bill Gates. This guy
didn't play football, he didn't play basketball. Billionaire, Who do
you want to be? You want to be the dude.
So when he comes here and says, hey, I don't
want to go to college, what are you gonna tell him? No,
(43:50):
he's gonna go to college. Bill Gates didn't go to college.
He's a billionaire, got him with his own words. Well,
let's see if let's see if being come up with
some kind of invention like Bill, I mean, coach Elon
must go to college. I have no idea, but I mean,
my nephew is the exact same age and kids snowboarding,
running with Oh, your boy doesn't play any No, he's
not good. I'm telling you he's not an athlete, and
(44:14):
that's okay. Not everyone needs to be an athlete. He
can still go out and try and coach. Shut up.
If I've gone through years and years and years of this,
we're not doing it anymore. Like if he wants to
go out to the basketball team and get cut, then
get cut. We're not doing this again. I sat through
years and seasons and seasons and seasons of sports and
it was brutal. But I mean, the new kids are ballers.
(44:35):
Don't worry. Hey, we have a double header basketball game
this weekend. I'm so excited. The last game, coach twelve
to five final score. Wow, a lot of scores, a
lot of defense. I saw my buddy, he posted he
goes day. My kid lost today. He was the high
score on the team and he showed the scores. Twe
four nothing. Hey, my my one of my boys, one
(44:56):
person on their team made up basket. How is that postage?
I'm not going to recommend this, but when we this
gonna sound so bad I want to say it. Say
it though, So maybe you want to find a dad
who likes to gamble like you. But anyways, we would
get forced. My sister was awesome. I love watching girls basketball.
Help your supporter love my sis. We would get forced
to watch your basketball games. So my buddy he also
(45:16):
had to watch his sister. So we created a fantasy
league and we get to pick two girls from the
team and then we bet on it and if you
got the most points, you get five dollars. Coach, you
need to find a dad who's got a kid in
the game. Maybe turn into betting. I think it's phenomenal idea.
Thank you get to pick two players and we would
be able to see warm ups so we could see
who was kind of feeling it that day in the
layup line. Hey, I'm gonna be real with you, it's
(45:37):
weird right now with Corona, only one parent per child
playing can be in there, so it's dead. Coach, what
do you mean, that's usually divorce. It works perfect. So
who is it? Mostly dads in there? Mix? There's a
mix and and you can tell they're they split it.
Everybody else stands out at the window. Some people stand
by the window and try to look in, but it's
not It sounds like a bunch of dad's hitting on
moms this time of year. That's what it sounds like
(46:00):
open season because is not there. The guy slides over
and she's like, and if she doesn't say you're not,
oh wait six ft, if she welcomes you in, you
then you're in. Yeah, we're new. The other parents that
you just don't support the games sit in the car.
So lucky for us, we have two boys playing, so
we both get to go. But but can you bring
(46:21):
the other kids? No, so we gotta get a babysitter.
And that that's the wait your kids thirteen. Now he
can watch the kid, not the baby. Not trusting him
with the baby. He's start teen, coach, the baby can
beat his ass coach old enough, are you kidding? Have
(46:41):
you seen my baby? He we'll get back and he
will knock the thirteen year old out and then party
and then mess up the whole place. I'll come back
to a crazy man. All Right, there we go, guys.
I mean, what are you about to do? You can
always email guys. We hit that email earlier about creepy
(47:02):
or not creepy. Now you can email us. We are
the soore losers at gmail dot com. Here's one coaches
love the podcast. I've been listening to every episode for
the last year. My birthday is on January. That's tomorrow, guys,
so we're actually early on this. Wow, good job. Can
I get a shout out? I listen every day to
and from work. You make my forty minute drive fly
by with all the last birth his name is. And
(47:27):
then he said, I know the UFC fights over the weekend.
We're frustrating the stream. When the stream went down, You've
got to look at other options. I watched it with
all for free with no issues. Get an OCTA stream.
She can't do that, heyst stop reading. You have a
relationship with UFC. Don't be doing that. It is completely
legal to stream everything. I can watch any sporting event
in any movie that I want. I'm not a seller,
(47:50):
just bought one. It's a game changer. Stop it. That
is not legal. Devin Maxwell, Devin Maxwell, Happy birthday. But
the fact that you can watch movies that are in
theaters devon, that means it's not legal, Devin. If you're
not paying a dime for these things that most people
have to pay money for, it's illegal. Exactly with the
birthday shout out, shout out to Kate in Clarksville, thanks
(48:13):
for listening. Oh that's a Valentine's Day present and it
was early and that's from your dude, coach. That's very early. Wow,
maybe it's from last year. Could have held on to
that one. Yeah, But happy birthday, Devin Maxwell. Just so
you know, if it makes you feel better when you
sleep at night that you're not doing anything, it's illegal.
It's illegal. You're going to prison. Wold coach. Way to
end the podcast, He's got a family too. Has Ryan
(48:35):
been on this the whole time? I don't think I
ever hung up on Ryan, Ryan, Ryan, This isn't Ryan.
I heard you all talking about the basketball and Vietnam.

My daughter hates me. Don't do it. What state do you, hey,
