Speaker 1 (00:01):
Man, I got to send Freeland Chevrolet, all these audio
clips of us every single day, pimping them and doing
a countdown. We are 100 days away from the 2,027
sore losers convention in Nashville, Tennessee brought to you by
Freeland Chevrolet. And we are one night away, one sleep
(00:22):
away from week zero in college football. I ain't watching
none of that crap.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
I don't really give a crap about Memphis at UNLV,
NC State at Virginia, North Carolina versus TCU. Whoa, let
me get up and get my popcorn ready. I won't
be watching.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
Guys, let me give you this word of warning. Back
in the day, let me say this before we do
our intro. When I did gamble, we went to Cancun,
and I said, hey, I'm going to place my bets
before I go to Mexico, right? So I bet on
the Notre Dame Boston college game and you guys can
look it up just like a true better, a little
(01:06):
bit fuzzy. So I believe it was Notre Dame Boston college.
And I said, or maybe it was Florida state. Look
it up guys. It was in the 2022 to 2024
range when I was gambling. So look it up. I
(01:26):
went to Cancun, sat down at a Cancun bar, got
an espresso martini. And I said, ah, Watch this bet.
It was a parlay. I had maybe a soccer game,
maybe tennis. And so throughout that vacation, I was going
to be able to enjoy these games one by one,
knocking off the parlay bets. So then when I came home,
I would have a nice thousand dollar purse and I
(01:48):
would say, man, that was a fun vacation. So I
sat down at the Cancun bar. I had a go-go
dancer dancing right next to me in a belly shirt.
They had a TV at the bar and it was
on American football and it was beautiful. Was it in Spanish? Yes,
but I was just watching it. Bartender was unlimited drinks.
I'm drinking. Baser's laughing. She's playing games. She's on her phone.
(02:08):
There was another hula dancer. Baser's picturing her. There's a
saxophone player. And I said, this life is perfect until
the game started. Florida State got upset the first week
zero game of the year, or maybe it was Notre Dame.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
It was definitely Florida State.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
They got upset. The easiest bet, it might have been
minus 28. I took the money line just to start
the bet. Maybe I teased it down to like a three,
which was an absolute lock. Hook, key, lock, deadbolt, lock.
Stone cold lead pipe lock. And they got housed. and beat.
(02:52):
And in that bar in Mexico, Tijuana to be exact, Cancun, Tijuana,
sunset bar right there as the sun was setting. I said,
I hate week zero. Betting is stupid. How do you
lose a money line minus 5,000 bet? Welcome to week zero.
(03:13):
do you know where that game was played in like Ireland, Dublin, Ireland, Ray,
do you know how I know that Ray? Because I
arrived in Dublin, Ireland, a few days after that game
and the cabbie was talking all about how there were
(03:34):
so many Florida state fans in attendance in Dublin, Ireland.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
For that game. There were, it was crawling with Florida
state people. He said there was Florida state people everywhere.
You looked, it was Florida state, Florida state, Florida state.
And he goes, and then apparently they lost. He goes,
I don't know anything about American football, but everybody was
(04:01):
mad and sad and they were supposed to win. And
there were so many Florida State people all in bad
moods when they would get in my cab. So I
know exactly what game you're talking about. And that is
unbelievable that we are connected on that game. Because you
had the bet. I arrived in Dublin a couple days
(04:23):
after the game.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
Truck drivers, beware of week zero football. And I'll leave
it at that.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
I mean, I don't know how everybody... Maybe people are just,
I get you like football, but these are the games
I can't get excited for. Hawaii at Stanford. Whoa!
Speaker 1 (04:42):
Can't wait!
Speaker 2 (04:43):
Can't wait! No thanks. I'll pass.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
Maybe if, you know, Christian McCaffrey's playing.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
Correct. Maybe if Tommy Chandler. Rest in peace.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
You could have gone.
The guy, Matt Stafford. You could have gone the guy
for Indianapolis Colts that retired.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
No, no, no. I'm talking about the Hawaii quarterback. Oh.
Colt Brennan is his name. Rest in peace. He was
a slinger.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
Andrew Luck.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Andrew Luck.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
We're going to do it live.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
Yeah. We are the one, two, three. Soar losers. 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.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
Y'all, we are the Soar Losers, a spinoff show of
the Bobby Bones Show. Let me introduce myself. It is
Cizan Raymundo from the North, alpha male, live on the
north side of Nashville with Baez, their wife, live in
the country. There's corn everywhere. Knee high by the 4th
of July, and it is. They're about to start shucking
and that, the other rhyme with that. Anyways, guys, we
may replay this episode, so no swearing. But yeah, we
(05:56):
got two eggs. They're at Vanderbilt getting checked on, hopefully. Nope,
not going to say that. Dolly was also a Vanderbilt,
but prop getting looked at when she had cancer.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
All right, well, we won't replay this one.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
And Justin, Justin is supposed to be checking on them,
but instead he's on a dingy on gun Lake soon
to go to the casino. And then he's also going
to rage text me that I need to get more
involved with fantasy football. And I told him to shove
it over to you.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
How do you get more involved when you haven't even
had your draft? Like what, what does he mean? Get
more involved more.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
He wants more research out of me. He wants more texts.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Oh, I was at the grocery store the other day
and they had a magazine at the checkout stand And
I took a picture of it and put it online
and said, oh, you guys stand no chance now that
I got this magazine. And you would be surprised how
many people actually post him like, well, I got this one.
It's better. And I can't believe that many people had
a magazine. I didn't really buy the magazine, people. I
just took a picture because I thought it'd be funny.
(06:54):
Didn't open it. Not really much research to do. I mean,
if you're hardcore, you probably do some deep diving, run
some numbers, look at coaches. I don't have that time.
I don't have that time, man. I'll just kind of
go with my gut. Oh, yeah, I really like Jamar Chase.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
I'll take Jameer Gibbs. Yeah, I like him. That's a
good team. Jamar Chase, Jameer Gibbs. Oh, yeah, I think
I'm going to win the ship.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
And as a kid, this may help some of you
guys out if you're okay with this.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
Oh, yeah, I love it, man.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Here's a little fantasy advice. So, guys, you can call
me dumb. It doesn't affect me. But in high school
and college... I didn't know that guys got slower. So
say the name would be Michael Vick.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
Oh, he got slower.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
So I would draft guys just based on their name.
I would say, huh? Michael Vick. Absolutely.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Running backs.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
Terrell Davis. Most recently, love Kelsey. Oh, Kelsey's always been awesome.
Oh yeah, definitely get him. I didn't realize guys slow.
I mean, running backs are good for three years. And
then I didn't realize they just get awful and like
almost non-existent.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
They fall off a cliff.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
Same with wide receivers. The new batch of wide receivers
are faster. Even though the guys have the name and
they're on SportsCenter, they're not as fast as the new people.
And I just realized this like two years ago. Wow.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
That would really change your strategy because you go with
the names. But I'm going to tell you like one
guy that I always love. And I shouldn't tell you
this guy's for the draft. Scary Terry. That dude doesn't
slow down.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
We already knew that.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
He is so awesome. Scary. Terry is super fast. So
athletic catches everything. That's why his name is scary. Terry.
Cause you see him lined up across from you and
you are scared that Terry is going to burn you. And,
and Justin didn't realize this. So he may be a
little dumb doctor education levels, but dumb.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
Nonetheless, Justin says to me, lost my train of thought.
Justin said to me, Oh, Oh, he goes, we were
naming people.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
And I said, you know what you're doing? You're naming
guys we've had on our team before. And you realize...
That is what every fantasy owner falls into. You tend
to draft a similar team that you had the year
before and the year before that and the year before that.
And so I love Justin just getting into fantasy because
(09:27):
what he's doing, I did when I was in college.
I always drafted Reggie Bush. I always drafted Antoine Randall-El.
I always drafted Adrian Peterson, Michael Vick. Justin hits me with,
we got to get Gibby. We've had every Gibby every
year for the last three years, he's doing the same
cyclical thing that every person falls into.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
Get a different team. Speaker 2, I am the exact
same way. I want the same guys. Cause it seems
like I draft guys that I like. that I like
to watch that I cheer for. Not necessarily like I'm
their biggest fan. I'm a bears fan, but it's like, Oh,
like scary Terry. I don't know what it is about him,
but I like him. We know. So it's, it is
(10:13):
weird how you fall into these pigeon holes. Like when
there's your, it's your pick and there's like five people
to pick from. You're like, I'm going to go with
the guy I like. I'm going to go with that guy.
I had him on my team last year. Really like
what he did for me. When really each year should
be a separate entity, but you don't do it. Another
one that I draft every year, Keenan Allen, because all
that dude is catches balls. He's slow as molasses, but
(10:36):
guess what? He's always open and he catches everything.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
And I saw randomly on Pat McAfee. Is he on
the Colts?
Speaker 2 (10:43):
Yeah, I learned that too. I didn't know that.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
I just learned that yesterday.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
I had no idea.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
I don't think I'll draft him this year.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
Well, an old me would have thought, oh, Keenan Allen,
the name, get him.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
Correct.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
I can't believe he's in the ninth round. But he slows,
and there's going to be a faster receiver that's better
than him, but he still does have the name.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
Yeah, so it's just fascinating. I mean, fantasy is just crazy.
And then you have the people that are the Cowboys fans,
and they draft all Cowboys. Or you're a Chiefs fan
and you draft all Chiefs. Or you're a Bills fan
and you draft all the Bills. That's why fantasy is
so fun. You have no idea what people are thinking
or how they look at fantasy and how they're going
to do it.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
And my wife, Mazer, I had joked on this show
how funny it was to me that she secretly got
onto our website, put her email in there. It hopes
that she could get a team and be drawn as
one of the 600 people.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
Where I could have... possibly twisted your arm a little
bit and got her a team correct not necessarily being
a division leader but being like hey can there just
be a wild card for baser i didn't even know
she wanted to play so she just did all that
on her own by listening to the podcast which is
hilarious to me but then she didn't get it dude
she's like legit mad about it that she because her
(11:57):
company isn't doing a fantasy And so she goes, I
don't have one this year. She goes, why is that
funny that I didn't make it? I don't have a
fantasy this league. She's butthurt that she's not in a
fantasy league. She's legit mad about it.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
There is one on the Facebook page. If you didn't
get drawn for the regular one, there's one on the
Facebook page that they set up. Brownlee sets it up
every year.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
And it always comes out one minute after ours so
that people are then confused and knowing which is a
legit fantasy league. The sanction one, Ray.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
Well, there are knockoffs. You know, it's like when I
went to the Messi game and the guys on the
side of the road were selling all the Messi jerseys.
And then there's a legit one when you get inside
the stadium where they had the stand for the Messi jerseys.
You just have to decide. Do you want the illegal
knockoff one or do you want the sanctioned one? But really,
I don't mind Brownlee doing it because the odds are
(12:47):
you're not going to get in the fantasy league. You
can sign up. And she does always say that. Hold on. Oh, man.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
God bless Dolly. either that needs to be the new saying,
God bless Dolly.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
Or our airport needs to be Dolly international. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
They're going to change it. It'll be Dolly international within
the next year. But what I was saying is Brownlee
does make it very clear that, Hey, if you sign
up for this league and then you get drawn into
the regular, the sore losers fantasy league that's sanctioned, then
you can have your, you will take your spot back.
You'll give you your money back. Don't worry about it.
So she is very open and transparent and, And she
(13:26):
makes it very clear that they are not affiliated and
they're not the same league.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
She's very transparent.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
Ray.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
The question I have, are we, do you have a
separate segment for already the uproar now with fantasy, our
fantasy league?
Speaker 2 (13:41):
I mean, just do it right now.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
I think it's hilarious.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
I just don't understand.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
The season hasn't even started guys. And I don't know
if we're going to replay this one on the big
show feed, but we're not, there's already on the website
and the message board already. Already.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
Already complaining. Hey, what's the draft order? How am I
supposed to do my research if I don't know the
draft order? I don't know where I'm drafting, so I
don't know how to do my research. Does it really?
I mean, does it change the whole complexion? Complexion. If
you're drafting fourth or eighth?
Speaker 1 (14:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
It really does?
Speaker 1 (14:19):
Oh, what did you want me to say?
Speaker 2 (14:20):
It changes everything. Yes, certain players won't be available for
but you kind of know who's going to be available
around eight. And if you're that concerned, do a mock
draft from one through 12 and see who you get.
I ain't got time for it.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
Well, and I don't know what Justin is. There's another
complaint too. I'll say in a minute, Justin, I don't
know what he's looking at on our website, but he
has rankings that are totally different than mine. I'm like, hey, man, JSN,
Jackson Smith, and Jigba, he's ranked number nine, or he's
ranked number six on our website. Justin's like, no, he's not.
On what I have, it says five. So his rankings,
(14:57):
wherever he's looking, are different than mine.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
He must be looking at his magazine.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
No, he's on the website, and we both have different rankings. Huh.
So he must be clicking on a different category, or
maybe it goes ADP something.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
I don't know, but I will say this. Go on
and do my draft so you understand what's going on
when your draft does come up. And one suggestion, and
this is what happened last year, is if you do
pre-draft selections... I would be careful about that because I
think that's last year. I think the girl that ended
(15:31):
up drafting Brock Purdy, number three overall, she had put
him in her watch list, like keep an eye on him,
like that's who she was looking to target later in
the draft.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
Instead, that was her draft list.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
And so that ended up was her draft list, and
it drafted him right there.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
She got him confused.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
Got it confused. So I'd be very careful. If you're
going to be in the live draft, I'd be very
careful about pre-selecting.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
And the other complaint that was on the message board.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
Let me hear it.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
Who's the guy? Did you see it? But it was
somebody in my division.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
Oh, probably ABL.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
Okay, ABL. I don't know. I need to learn their names.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
Same guy that was in your league last year.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
Okay, but he goes, no, Arnold's Army?
Speaker 2 (16:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
No, it's somebody else complaining.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
Oh, well, that was the one complaining about the draft order.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
Somebody else complains on there. In my division, he goes, hey,
can't believe Ray's draft is the night before the season
starts on Wednesday, next Wednesday. Okay. Or is it two Wednesdays?
It's two Wednesdays.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
He goes, I can't believe it's the night before. Guys,
I just copied lunch. Lunch is having his the night before.
So I was like, cool, I'll do mine the night before.
And you guys know I go to bed at five.
I made it six central to be accommodating. Guys, I
could have made it two in the afternoon. But I
was like, okay, what's the latest I can do it?
I'll do it at six. This guy goes, can't believe
it's the night before. That doesn't give us any chance
(16:44):
to set our lineups for the next day. You have
24 hours.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
Literally there's one game, one game the next day. So
the odds that you're going to have a player in
that game, probably 2% of.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
All the players drafted. 24 hours to set one player.
Like literally the draft ends, go put them in your
starting lineup.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
If they're that good. They're probably going to be drafted
where they're already in your starting lineup anyway.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
Listen, I know at your job, you guys are going
to be scrolling.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
Yeah, you're not going to be looking at all the
previews in the lead up to the game. You're going
to be all work all the time. You're never going
to click on that website in 24 hours. So you'd
rather do it two weeks early when there's still preseason
games in practice and someone could get hurt. Like when
Jamar chase went down with his knee the other day,
if you had already drafted Jamar chase, you'd be like,
(17:35):
Oh my God, why'd we have the draft so early?
But then Jamar chase is okay.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
And the draft and complaining and train of thought, where
are you?
Speaker 2 (17:47):
I see. I like to do it at the end
of training camp right before the season. So, you know,
everybody that is injured.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
Oh, and at your jobs, guys, the reports have come out. Apparently,
if you don't do crap, if you don't own your
own business, you're not doing crap during the day. We've
seen the reports.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
I mean, look at the tugboaters. They're doing down the river.
They are on autopilot looking at their fantasy team. Nothing.
I mean, we know Robles is at the firehouse. And
all he's doing is looking at his fantasy team. He said,
(18:23):
there it is. Or he's maybe staring at the sonogram,
you know, like, oh my God, I'm going to be
a dad still. Congratulations on that. But yes, that's, I mean,
to act like it is so impossible to set your
lineup when you have 24 hours is insane.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
Speaker 3, we're going to take a break. I'm sure
you got a good tease.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
We're going to take a break right now. And when
we come back, I'm going to tell you there's big
trouble in the box house. Tell you all about it
right after this, Speaker.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
0, I don't know how to say this. I'm getting
a divorce.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
We have one sleep, one sleep until the soccer season
starts until my boys go out there on the pitch
for the first time this season dressed in their uniform,
ready to take on the opponent in a battle. And
I'm just going to break it down to you like this.
Baby Box's team is going to get slaughtered. I just
(19:17):
have a feeling they are going to get slaughtered because
they have eight players on their team and there's three
of them that give a shit. Three of them. Three
of them actually care. The other five are out there
and they don't give two craps. about playing the game
of soccer. They don't really understand it. They're not really interested.
(19:39):
They just want to goof off and be jackasses. We
are in deep trouble, deep trouble Cause at practice, they
sure as hell don't listen. They absolutely don't listen. We've
had two practices and they just, there's three kids that
want to listen. The other ones do not. And I
am just like, we are about to go out there
tomorrow and it is about to be a freaking beating
(20:03):
and it's going to be embarrassing. It's going to be sad.
And my kids are going to be upset. But those
five that don't care, I don't think they'll give a crap.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
The question is, how do you know this before?
Speaker 2 (20:15):
How do I know what?
Speaker 1 (20:16):
The outcome.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
Well, I'm just telling you by how practice goes, how
it's going to go in the game. I'm just telling you,
there's three kids that are really into it and really trying.
The other ones are like, let's wrestle and things like that.
So I just have a feeling it's going to get ugly.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
Does that go on the coach?
Speaker 2 (20:36):
A little bit on the coach. A little bit. I
think part of the problem is they all go to
school together. So they all know each other. But that
shouldn't be a problem. That should be like, okay, I'm comfortable.
I'm not nervous. But I think some of them just
aren't competitive. They're not into battling each other. Just like, okay, whatever.
(21:00):
If I lose, I lose. And I talked to my
dad about this. I was like, man. I think it's
because they all know each other, so they're just so comfortable.
They just goof off a lot. And he goes, no,
because you guys all knew each other growing up. And
he goes, you guys were just so competitive with each
other that you were like, man, I'm not going to
let that guy score.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
Yeah, there's that. Don't you want to be the one
in your parents' vehicle parading around town with the championship?
Isn't there that pride?
Speaker 2 (21:26):
Oh, I have that pride in me. There's three kids
on the team that have that pride. The other five,
they don't.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
I remember when we would win, not the soccer. We
didn't have that in Wyoming.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
You didn't have that sissy sport up there in Wyoming.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
But the team that would win got to drive their
vehicles around town, yelling to everybody, and then we got
to go jump off the pier. The team that lost
didn't get to do any of that. And you would
talk about it then. The whole next year, we jumped
off the pier. Probably parents shouldn't have let us do
that because it was like weird algae, and sometimes it
(22:01):
would kind of suck you under. And, you know, if
you can swim great, it probably wasn't the smartest thing.
We were driving the back of Dad's truck, driving like
60 miles an hour, probably not that safe. You get
slushies and slurpees. The losing team doesn't get that.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
Yeah, and I mean, I understand it's just week one,
and maybe it'll be a wake-up call for them when
they walk out there and that other team's organized and
disciplined and just smacks us around.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
How do you know they're disciplined?
Speaker 2 (22:26):
I don't.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
I'm so kidding. I've been secretly spying. I just assume.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
They're going to be a lot more disciplined and a
lot more together than we are. After I've seen our
first two practices, that's what I'm saying. See, I didn't know.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
And I've said this before. I didn't know that I
sucked at baseball until I went to like the States.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
Right.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
So whatever level we're talking, what you guys are seeing
on TV right now.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
We were the best in the city.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
We were the best out of a couple other cities.
But when we went to the whole state tournament and
anybody could go, it's not like we're even decent. We
would get beat 20 to nothing, and that was my
first time seeing that. And I was like, wow. Not
that they were more organized. They were just bigger and better. Right.
And I don't know if my dad. So right now
what you're having, that intuition, a man's intuition, I don't
(23:15):
know if my dad knew that. Or did my dad
know that? oh my gosh, we're going to get killed
at States. Because us kids, we had no idea we
were going to get beat 20 to nothing until we
showed up on the field. And I was the shortest kid.
There were kids in elementary school tolerating me at the
state tournament. I was like, wow. And they're like, sir,
do you want a snow cone? I was like, no,
(23:36):
I'm on the team.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
See, I'm going to try this new coaching philosophy out.
I'm not going to coach from the sidelines. I'm just
going to tell them, good job, good hustle. That's it.
I'm not going to yell at them where they need
to be. They need to get back on defense. You
need to pass it here. You need to do this.
Because they've got to learn that on their own. We
(24:01):
try to teach it in practice. In the game, you're
going to be screaming one thing. A parent's going to
be screaming another. They're going to be screaming something else.
Not me. I'm just going to be going, good job, guys.
Good hustle. Sure.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
Wait until it actually happens.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
No, I am going to. keep myself in my little box.
I'm just going to sit there and I'm going to
cheer them on and tell them good luck.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
And also you think back to coaches, all the yelling
they did. I mean, did you really, it just confuses you.
It confuses you, especially in basketball. I don't know about
in soccer and basketball. So a reactionary by the time
the coach told me they were going back door, they
already backdoored me and my butt was sore. So that's
what I'm saying. And basketball is so reactionary. That should
(24:48):
be the sport. You're just chilling. I'll talk about it
at halftime.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
It's sort of like in baseball. If you don't know
what base is, like where the play is, second or first,
and the ground ball comes to you, by the time
you look at each base. Too late. Right.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
So the coach shouldn't be yelling, throw to first.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
Right.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
Too late.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
Too late.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
Or if you say, pass, pass, pass. Too late. The
kids have to learn to do that. Or the parents
that are yelling, shoot it, shoot it, shoot. You don't
think the kid wants to shoot it? They want to
shoot it. That's all they're thinking about is shoot it.
You yelling at them just makes it more pressure.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
So they've put you in this position as head coach
or what are you?
Speaker 2 (25:26):
Head coach.
Speaker 1 (25:27):
Is there another coach?
Speaker 2 (25:28):
No.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
I mean, we're all coaches.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
Yes, Ray. But my question is this. They've put you
in this position and you're just going to say, good job.
Good play. Yep. That's the insight you're getting?
Speaker 2 (25:40):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
Wow. I mean, I bet there's some talking amongst the parents.
Is the lady in the summer dress.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
It's the divorcee? No, that's baseball.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
She's got to get her kids in soccer.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
They might be. We might see her out of the field.
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
Do you think there's going to be some whispers? Hey,
does this coach know what he's doing?
Speaker 2 (26:00):
Yeah, I don't think he's cut out for the job.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
Is that lunchbox from the big show?
Speaker 2 (26:05):
Why did we let him coach our kids? He's not
doing a very good job. And then also... I got
my roster right, and there's one kid that signed up
is on my roster. I've emailed twice, texted the mother.
No response.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
That's on the parents.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
They've not been to a single practice, so I don't
even know what they're playing in the game tomorrow. I
have no idea if they're even on the team.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
But, I mean, he doesn't get the emails, right?
Speaker 2 (26:30):
Right, but that's on the parent. But I'm like, how
do you sign your child up? And not respond to
any communication from the coach.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
What is his email? Like little Johnny at kid. It
goes to the mom, right? So it's her job, but
that's what I'm saying. How do you sign him up?
And then just totally ignore all the communication from the league.
I bet they're busy.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
How busy can you be? I texted and said, Hey,
I've been sending emails. Just want to make sure you
got them. We have our first game this weekend. Didn't
want your son to miss it. Just checking in to
make sure you're still playing this season. Just let me
know if you have any questions. Thanks.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
Coach. I was telling Abby that I was so busy
the other day and I was spread so thin, I
woke up in the morning, had 20 family texts. Hate
that I did it, but this is how overwhelmed I was.
Speaker 2 (27:18):
Deleted them all.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
I went to the right, swiped, deleted without even reading.
I had 20 texts from Justin, some of them rage texts.
To the right, deleted them all. I had 10 texts
from the overnight guy who gives me stock picks.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
To the right. Deleted them all. I was that overwhelmed.
I was like, I can't do 42 text messages to
start the day. Deleted them all. Never read them ever.
Because all those people had been warned. I told the
overnight guy. I said, hey, I'm going on vacation. Need
some time away. Not doing stocks right now. And then
he still proceeds to text me 10 times while I'm
in bed.
Speaker 2 (27:55):
My family.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
Hey, guys, I'm spread pretty thin. Dolly Parton died. Delete.
They didn't listen to me. And Justin. I said, hey, Justin,
as a fellow college graduate, you can understand this. I'm
spread a little thin at work. Overwhelmed. Not a lot
of time right now. He still texts me. Deleted.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (28:13):
So guess how many texts I have right now?
Speaker 2 (28:15):
Zero.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
Zero. Because you know what? I told everybody in my
life for the next week, don't text me. I'm overwhelmed.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
That's very good. I'm proud of you.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
And Bays are obliged.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
That's pretty impressive. And I'm going to tell you this
right now, though. So that team's going to be terrible.
But Baby Box 2, their team is going to dominate.
They are so freaking good. They have some studs on
their team. Better Gerbers or what? I just think more competitive,
(28:48):
more intense. Him... There's him, this kid named Jackson, and
then Mickey, and then Darren, and Walker. Those five, dude,
they are all in it. And Theo, freaking, he's going
(29:08):
to be a good defender. Big kid. And the coach,
good coach, had him running that first practice. And then
they had their second practice yesterday, and he texts and
he says, hey- I can't make practice. Can someone do
practice for me? I said, I'll do practice for you.
So I took over the team yesterday, and then he
showed up.
Speaker 1 (29:29):
And I wonder, how can he just not make practice?
Is it because of whatever his practice is?
Speaker 2 (29:33):
I didn't know why he couldn't make it, but he
showed up, and I was like, oh, I thought you
weren't going to make it. He goes, I'm just here
for a minute. I'm dropping off the water. bottle.
Speaker 1 (29:41):
What the?
Speaker 2 (29:41):
He brought a big gallon, a big five gallon jug
of water.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
So you had time to go by Costco?
Speaker 2 (29:46):
I was like, oh. He was like, it's my son's
birthday today. I'm late for the birthday dinner. I got
to go right now. And I'm having an affair. I mean,
a hair. And I was like, oh, okay, cool. That's cool.
All right, cool, man. See you later, man. We'll see
you Saturday. And he goes, oh. About Saturday. I'm not
going to be able to make it Saturday. Do you
think you could coach the team on Saturday?
Speaker 1 (30:04):
Does he have a drinking problem?
Speaker 2 (30:06):
No, he said that it was his son's birthday party
on Saturday. And I said, all right, man, I got you.
I'll be coaching the team on Saturday. But then that
means his kid, Walker, and another kid all won't be there, Theo,
because they all go to school together. They're all going
to his birthday party.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
And what I'm realizing, we're in a bigger city. That's
why there's so many birthday parties. Yeah. I was always
in smaller classes, and half the people are in summer,
and the other half fall on the weekend, or you
don't celebrate because you're not friends with them. So there's
like three people that have a birthday a year. You
guys are dealing with like 300.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
That's it. I mean, but they are going to be
really good. They got some solid, solid players. I do
need Walker, though, to toughen up. He's really good, but
he took one, like, Hit on his hand yesterday. He
sat out the rest of practice. Okay. And I was like, hey,
we're going to need to get you a little tougher.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
Can I give you some advice?
Speaker 2 (31:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
Do we need to take a break?
Speaker 2 (31:05):
Well, I'm going to tell you one more thing.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
After the break.
Speaker 2 (31:09):
Okay. Yeah. After the break. Baby box three. His team.
I have no idea what they're going to be. But
him being a four-year-old on kindergarten team, which is five
and six-year-olds. I was worried about it, but he's going
to be fine.
Speaker 1 (31:25):
They're a bunch of newborns.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
He's going to be fine. He scored a goal in
practice the other day, and he came running back like
it was an NSC game and started pumping up the crowd,
doing his arms like trying to get everybody to stand up.
And so all the parents had to stand up and cheer.
And he was like, yeah! So he's going to be fine.
I don't know about the team, per se, because I
(31:47):
haven't really seen other kindergartners play. He's not in kindergarten,
but he's on the kindergarten team. But he's going to
be fine. He's aggressive. He's going to be fine. And
they'll just be mediocre. Not worried about that.
Speaker 1 (31:58):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (31:59):
What's your advice?
Speaker 1 (32:00):
So here, if I had kids, this is a segment.
If I had kids, this is what I would do.
They're around their friends in the affluent school district, They're
around other successful families. They're all fed with spoons that
are silver. Have you ever once driven by a poor
(32:25):
part of town and said, kids, we could live under
that bridge?
Speaker 2 (32:32):
No.
Speaker 1 (32:33):
See, if I was a parent, I would do that
all the time. I'm driving to the roughest neighborhood in Chicago,
Caprini Greens, and I'm going to say, That's where we
could have grown up if I didn't get a job
in radio. So consider yourself blessed. Also, with sports, have
you ever shown them other countries playing sports?
Speaker 2 (32:55):
Yeah, we watched the World Cup.
Speaker 1 (32:56):
Those are adults.
Speaker 2 (32:58):
Oh, you mean kids.
Speaker 1 (33:00):
I would almost suggest you guys, as a family, go
on a missions trip. You're not necessarily doing missions work,
but maybe go to... Where's Messi from?
Speaker 2 (33:10):
Argentina.
Speaker 1 (33:11):
You go to Argentina. You go to Central America and
you show them kids their age and how they play
the sport. Because right now they're just around all these
American kids that eat snow cones and ice cream and
have streaming services. For a vacation, I would say go
do some missions work. Show them other countries' kids their
(33:33):
age and how they play the sport.
Speaker 2 (33:35):
And they'd be amazed at how far along they are
compared to where they're at.
Speaker 1 (33:38):
Yeah, because I think I watched a show on it maybe.
I never went to another country. Maybe we had kids
visit missionaries, and I learned about stickball. So from then on,
I only played with a smaller ball and a stick
for a bat, and my baseball got tremendously better. But
if I would have been able to have gone to
(33:59):
the Dominican Republic or something like that.
Speaker 2 (34:01):
And you saw them doing the bottle caps.
Speaker 1 (34:02):
Bottle caps and sticks. That's how you learn. So I'm
saying maybe take them out of the castle.
Speaker 2 (34:11):
Get them out of the comfort zone and put them
in the rough zone and let them feel what it
feels like.
Speaker 1 (34:17):
Cross the moat. Seed life on the other side of
the moat. Man, I never thought about that. If I
was a parent, that's what I would do. You know
how many times I'd drive by a rough place in Memphis?
I would take my family there every other weekend. Hey, guys,
do you see where that, the violence and the stuff
(34:40):
that you saw on the news? That's where it happened.
That could have been where we lived, but because we
are blessed, we don't have to deal with that violence, okay?
But we're going to vacation here because I want you
to see this violence that you don't have to deal with.
Speaker 2 (34:53):
Yeah, well, wish us luck as we take the field
tomorrow for our first game, all three of them. And
then I realized there was one problem, that I told
that coach that I would coach Baby Box's team on
Saturday since he couldn't be there. Baby Box 3 and
him play at the same time, so I won't be
able to watch his game.
Speaker 1 (35:10):
Yeah, you're going to run into that as a parent.
Speaker 2 (35:12):
No, but as a parent, I was thinking I could
stand between the two fields and just kind of turn
my head back and forth. But as a coach, I'm
going to have to be dialed in.
Speaker 1 (35:20):
Yeah, and this coaching thing, I think it's limiting you.
Speaker 2 (35:24):
No, it's amazing.
Speaker 1 (35:25):
Because you just have to be on the sideline as
some kind of politician. Good job. Good play. You're not
even being yourself. You're giving no input.
Speaker 2 (35:35):
They've got to learn.
Speaker 1 (35:36):
Yeah, I don't think that's good. Even though it doesn't
really help them, who knows? But for you to be
on the sideline and not yourself, you might as well
have the divorcee get her kids into soccer and she
be on the sidelines.
Speaker 2 (35:50):
Well, I mean, I can give them strategy before the
game and at halftime. Then we're good.
Speaker 1 (35:55):
Are you guys just on the sideline before a game
just kicking a ball? Have you ever considered using alternate
methods of training?
Speaker 2 (36:06):
Like what?
Speaker 1 (36:08):
Is the soccer ball light?
Speaker 2 (36:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (36:10):
What I would do before a game, I'd make them
kick around a medicine ball. A 10-pound medicine ball.
Speaker 2 (36:17):
You're going to break their foot.
Speaker 1 (36:19):
Toughen them up. And then during the game, how much
of a blessing is it to kick this light ball
that flies through the air? The medicine ball didn't really
fly like this.
Speaker 2 (36:30):
Yeah, like throw a weighted baseball, and then when you
get on the mound, throw a real baseball, and it'll
fly out of your hands.
Speaker 1 (36:35):
With baseball, what I would do is I wouldn't allow
myself to swing a bat. Until I was in the
batter's box. So I would take a glove. The glove
was now my bat and it taught me to catch
the ball as it was coming to the bat instead
of using a bat. So that allowed me to wait
on the ball and it allowed me to almost envision
(36:57):
my bat as a glove when I was batting during
the games. You have to use these alternate methods or
you're never going to be different than the opponent. Take
them to do missions work. Have them envision a medicine
ball instead of a soccer ball. Stuff like that. And
I'll hang up and listen.
Speaker 2 (37:15):
You might be on to something.
Speaker 1 (37:16):
Ray, I'm going to Dick's today and getting a medicine ball.
I mean, I'm telling you, a couple kids are going
to twist their ankles.
Speaker 2 (37:22):
But you know what?
Speaker 1 (37:23):
The other 10 are going to be tough.
Speaker 2 (37:25):
Yeah. That's interesting.
Speaker 1 (37:27):
They, like, can't even kick it. The ball just sits.
Speaker 2 (37:29):
There in the middle of the pitch. It doesn't move. Ah! Ah,
it's like they're kicking a rock.
Speaker 1 (37:36):
Or you got a weightlifter, not a weightlifter's band, a
fitness band. You put them around their legs. How nice
does it feel to be free with your legs? What
if you're hindered and you're playing potato sack?
Speaker 2 (37:49):
That's a good idea. We'll warm up in potato sacks,
and then once they can move, they're like, wow, freedom
is amazing.
Speaker 1 (37:55):
Or they're just doing potato sack races, and then the
other coach is like.
Speaker 2 (37:58):
What the? Maybe we need to go buy potato sacks.
Speaker 1 (38:01):
I mean, totally throw them off.
Speaker 2 (38:03):
Man. What if we just start playing leapfrog before the game? Oh,
my God, we got these guys. And then we come
out and smash them. What a day.
Speaker 1 (38:13):
Yeah, we got anything else, man?
Speaker 2 (38:14):
No, that's it. I don't know. I didn't have much.
I was struggling today.
Speaker 1 (38:17):
Yeah, we're sure it's not going to replay this.
Speaker 2 (38:19):
I told you we weren't. I knew going in we
didn't have much because I wrote some stuff down on
some papers, but then I lost it. But I did
see this. There was a guy playing golf in Florida,
and there were some teenagers in front of him. And
he was tired of their slow play. 50 year old
dude rammed his golf cart into their golf cart and
then punched, got out and beat him. He's not walking
(38:43):
back at that course.
Speaker 1 (38:44):
Well, and there is, you can do a little bit
of a dome job or a warning missile. Have you
ever done that a little bit of the group in front? Okay.
Speaker 2 (38:54):
Cause listen, listen, I get frustrated and I'll say, come on,
I'll yell something, but never hit a ball too dangerous.
I mean, see Kane Brown. I mean, he almost lost
an ear, almost lost his life because of it. Um,
there's a kid. Um, I'll tell that story later. Uh,
(39:16):
so I don't want to put someone's life in danger.
In the grand scheme of things, yes, slow play is frustrating,
but man, we're out there and you're supposed to be relaxed,
so you should just take it in stride. It's not
worth going to battle over how slow or fast they're
playing on a golf course. It is frustrating. I understand that,
but geez, guys firing missiles at people, not it.
Speaker 1 (39:38):
But also are you of the mind where you see
some people on the green and you're 200 out? Like
for me, one in a million, I'm going to hit
it on the green. I'll still hit it. I don't
think you should wait, because you wait, and guess what?
You're going to chili dip.
Speaker 2 (39:56):
100%.
Speaker 1 (39:57):
Wait or hit? Hit. Okay.
Speaker 2 (39:59):
Because the other day I played, and the dude is
260 out. The old guy's in front of me, and
there's people in the green, and they're not hitting. I'm like, guys,
you can't hit the ball 260 yards. And even if
you do, it's going to be rolling up there, and
they'll go, good shot, good shot. You hit a rock,
and it's a miracle it made it up there. Because
you're right. The more you wait and stand over it
(40:22):
and be like, okay, I got to wait, I got
to wait, you're going to chili dip it.
Speaker 1 (40:24):
And the 150 out, I get that.
Speaker 2 (40:26):
I totally get that.
Speaker 1 (40:27):
It's a club that everybody, not everybody, but you're probably
going to hit on the green if you're a decent golfer.
But the 200... It's a hybrid. You almost have to
hit it perfectly. Miracle to get it on. Okay, I
swing every time with that. And sometimes I'll get a
look back, and I'm like, buddy, I was never going
to hit you. It's definitely 15 feet away from you,
but I was never going to hit you.
Speaker 2 (40:47):
It's short of the green, dude. You're plenty fine. I'm
with you. Absolutely hit. Absolutely hit.
Speaker 1 (40:53):
Because this could be becoming more of a thing with
people waiting and Marshall's not necessarily keeping the pace of
play up. It's, it's huge out there. Cause there's guys
that are scratch golfers. And then you got dad trying
to repair his relationship with his son out there playing.
There's going to be kind of a little bit of
a give and take tug and pull reach around issue
with timing and how groups flow. There really is.
Speaker 2 (41:16):
There really is. But you guys have a great weekend. Sorry.
This pod was great. We can't do them all bad.
So this one's great. Have a great weekend. Sore losers.com.
Get your tickets to the convention payment plans. We want
to see you in Nashville. We out.
Speaker 1 (41:31):
Ray, I've heard the ticket sales have been through the roof.
Speaker 2 (41:34):
I haven't heard anything. I just know Randy, a tour,
and his chick are coming back.
Speaker 1 (41:39):
Can we get an update? When did we put tickets
on sale last year?
Speaker 2 (41:44):
November.
Speaker 1 (41:45):
See, every day that we have tickets on sale ahead
of that last year, I'm like, job well done us.
Speaker 2 (41:52):
I mean, we finally did it.
Speaker 1 (41:53):
For the next three months, we can pat ourselves on
the back every single day for having this up. Because
that's what people asked for. So we gave it what
they asked for.
Speaker 2 (42:03):
Exactly. Except they asked for merch and we didn't give
them that. But yeah, that's okay. We're getting that. We're
working on it. We're working on it, man. Hey, you
have a great weekend, man.
Speaker 1 (42:12):
Yeah, you too, man.
Speaker 2 (42:13):
You too, man. All right. We got to go. Did
I already buzz? I don't know if I buzzed before.
Speaker 1 (42:22):
That might have been a double buzz.
Speaker 2 (42:23):
Might have been a double buzz. All right, man.
Speaker 1 (42:26):
Man, I can see now why we weren't number top
18 podcasts in America. This was bad.
Speaker 2 (42:30):
Man, that was bad. That was bad. That was a struggle.
Struggle bus. Sorry.
Speaker 1 (42:36):
Man.
Speaker 2 (42:37):
Man. Ugh. Man.
Speaker 1 (42:40):
Should have brought on McKitty.
Speaker 2 (42:42):
Could have. We saw him in the hallway, but.
Speaker 1 (42:44):
I wanted to bring on Ibiza, but apparently he's in Mexico. What?
Speaker 2 (42:47):
Doing what?
Speaker 1 (42:49):
I thought morning shows were in full swing right now,
and he's just taking vacation time.
Speaker 2 (42:52):
Dude, he does not care. He's always traveling.
Speaker 1 (42:55):
But I don't believe they have a— well, they do have
a boss. I guess he just allows them to have
their additional time off. I don't know. Man. But, I mean,
this right now— But he does.
Speaker 2 (43:09):
I like him because he lives his life. He travels
and sees the world.
Speaker 1 (43:14):
Right, but I'm pretty sure in the radio world, this
is the time. Okay, guys, boom. Best segments. Kids are
in school. Let's go. Ibiza's in Mexico?
Speaker 2 (43:23):
That's a good segment. Ibiza from the beach.
Speaker 1 (43:27):
He's been to Ibiza. He went to Monaco, or it
was another place.
Speaker 2 (43:33):
He went to Ireland.
Speaker 1 (43:36):
Yep, and now Mexico. Gosh.
Speaker 2 (43:40):
You know where I went?
Speaker 1 (43:41):
7-Eleven, man. I was going to say Broadway or a
grocery store down the way from your moat.
Speaker 2 (43:47):
Well, that's it. That's all I've done. Oh, man.
Speaker 1 (43:51):
All right, man.
Speaker 2 (43:51):
We got to go. Yeah.
Man, I got to send Freeland Chevrolet, all these audio
clips of us every single day, pimping them and doing
a countdown. We are 100 days away from the 2,027
sore losers convention in Nashville, Tennessee brought to you by
Freeland Chevrolet. And we are one night away, one sleep
(00:22):
away from week zero in college football. I ain't watching
none of that crap.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
I don't really give a crap about Memphis at UNLV,
NC State at Virginia, North Carolina versus TCU. Whoa, let
me get up and get my popcorn ready. I won't
be watching.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
Guys, let me give you this word of warning. Back
in the day, let me say this before we do
our intro. When I did gamble, we went to Cancun,
and I said, hey, I'm going to place my bets
before I go to Mexico, right? So I bet on
the Notre Dame Boston college game and you guys can
look it up just like a true better, a little
(01:06):
bit fuzzy. So I believe it was Notre Dame Boston college.
And I said, or maybe it was Florida state. Look
it up guys. It was in the 2022 to 2024
range when I was gambling. So look it up. I
(01:26):
went to Cancun, sat down at a Cancun bar, got
an espresso martini. And I said, ah, Watch this bet.
It was a parlay. I had maybe a soccer game,
maybe tennis. And so throughout that vacation, I was going
to be able to enjoy these games one by one,
knocking off the parlay bets. So then when I came home,
I would have a nice thousand dollar purse and I
(01:48):
would say, man, that was a fun vacation. So I
sat down at the Cancun bar. I had a go-go
dancer dancing right next to me in a belly shirt.
They had a TV at the bar and it was
on American football and it was beautiful. Was it in Spanish? Yes,
but I was just watching it. Bartender was unlimited drinks.
I'm drinking. Baser's laughing. She's playing games. She's on her phone.
(02:08):
There was another hula dancer. Baser's picturing her. There's a
saxophone player. And I said, this life is perfect until
the game started. Florida State got upset the first week
zero game of the year, or maybe it was Notre Dame.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
It was definitely Florida State.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
They got upset. The easiest bet, it might have been
minus 28. I took the money line just to start
the bet. Maybe I teased it down to like a three,
which was an absolute lock. Hook, key, lock, deadbolt, lock.
Stone cold lead pipe lock. And they got housed. and beat.
(02:52):
And in that bar in Mexico, Tijuana to be exact, Cancun, Tijuana,
sunset bar right there as the sun was setting. I said,
I hate week zero. Betting is stupid. How do you
lose a money line minus 5,000 bet? Welcome to week zero.
(03:13):
do you know where that game was played in like Ireland, Dublin, Ireland, Ray,
do you know how I know that Ray? Because I
arrived in Dublin, Ireland, a few days after that game
and the cabbie was talking all about how there were
(03:34):
so many Florida state fans in attendance in Dublin, Ireland.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
For that game. There were, it was crawling with Florida
state people. He said there was Florida state people everywhere.
You looked, it was Florida state, Florida state, Florida state.
And he goes, and then apparently they lost. He goes,
I don't know anything about American football, but everybody was
(04:01):
mad and sad and they were supposed to win. And
there were so many Florida State people all in bad
moods when they would get in my cab. So I
know exactly what game you're talking about. And that is
unbelievable that we are connected on that game. Because you
had the bet. I arrived in Dublin a couple days
(04:23):
after the game.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
Truck drivers, beware of week zero football. And I'll leave
it at that.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
I mean, I don't know how everybody... Maybe people are just,
I get you like football, but these are the games
I can't get excited for. Hawaii at Stanford. Whoa!
Speaker 1 (04:42):
Can't wait!
Speaker 2 (04:43):
Can't wait! No thanks. I'll pass.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
Maybe if, you know, Christian McCaffrey's playing.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
Correct. Maybe if Tommy Chandler. Rest in peace.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
You could have gone.
The guy, Matt Stafford. You could have gone the guy
for Indianapolis Colts that retired.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
No, no, no. I'm talking about the Hawaii quarterback. Oh.
Colt Brennan is his name. Rest in peace. He was
a slinger.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
Andrew Luck.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Andrew Luck.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
We're going to do it live.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
Yeah. We are the one, two, three. Soar losers. 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.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
Y'all, we are the Soar Losers, a spinoff show of
the Bobby Bones Show. Let me introduce myself. It is
Cizan Raymundo from the North, alpha male, live on the
north side of Nashville with Baez, their wife, live in
the country. There's corn everywhere. Knee high by the 4th
of July, and it is. They're about to start shucking
and that, the other rhyme with that. Anyways, guys, we
may replay this episode, so no swearing. But yeah, we
(05:56):
got two eggs. They're at Vanderbilt getting checked on, hopefully. Nope,
not going to say that. Dolly was also a Vanderbilt,
but prop getting looked at when she had cancer.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
All right, well, we won't replay this one.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
And Justin, Justin is supposed to be checking on them,
but instead he's on a dingy on gun Lake soon
to go to the casino. And then he's also going
to rage text me that I need to get more
involved with fantasy football. And I told him to shove
it over to you.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
How do you get more involved when you haven't even
had your draft? Like what, what does he mean? Get
more involved more.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
He wants more research out of me. He wants more texts.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Oh, I was at the grocery store the other day
and they had a magazine at the checkout stand And
I took a picture of it and put it online
and said, oh, you guys stand no chance now that
I got this magazine. And you would be surprised how
many people actually post him like, well, I got this one.
It's better. And I can't believe that many people had
a magazine. I didn't really buy the magazine, people. I
just took a picture because I thought it'd be funny.
(06:54):
Didn't open it. Not really much research to do. I mean,
if you're hardcore, you probably do some deep diving, run
some numbers, look at coaches. I don't have that time.
I don't have that time, man. I'll just kind of
go with my gut. Oh, yeah, I really like Jamar Chase.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
I'll take Jameer Gibbs. Yeah, I like him. That's a
good team. Jamar Chase, Jameer Gibbs. Oh, yeah, I think
I'm going to win the ship.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
And as a kid, this may help some of you
guys out if you're okay with this.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
Oh, yeah, I love it, man.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Here's a little fantasy advice. So, guys, you can call
me dumb. It doesn't affect me. But in high school
and college... I didn't know that guys got slower. So
say the name would be Michael Vick.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
Oh, he got slower.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
So I would draft guys just based on their name.
I would say, huh? Michael Vick. Absolutely.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Running backs.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
Terrell Davis. Most recently, love Kelsey. Oh, Kelsey's always been awesome.
Oh yeah, definitely get him. I didn't realize guys slow.
I mean, running backs are good for three years. And
then I didn't realize they just get awful and like
almost non-existent.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
They fall off a cliff.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
Same with wide receivers. The new batch of wide receivers
are faster. Even though the guys have the name and
they're on SportsCenter, they're not as fast as the new people.
And I just realized this like two years ago. Wow.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
That would really change your strategy because you go with
the names. But I'm going to tell you like one
guy that I always love. And I shouldn't tell you
this guy's for the draft. Scary Terry. That dude doesn't
slow down.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
We already knew that.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
He is so awesome. Scary. Terry is super fast. So
athletic catches everything. That's why his name is scary. Terry.
Cause you see him lined up across from you and
you are scared that Terry is going to burn you. And,
and Justin didn't realize this. So he may be a
little dumb doctor education levels, but dumb.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
Nonetheless, Justin says to me, lost my train of thought.
Justin said to me, Oh, Oh, he goes, we were
naming people.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
And I said, you know what you're doing? You're naming
guys we've had on our team before. And you realize...
That is what every fantasy owner falls into. You tend
to draft a similar team that you had the year
before and the year before that and the year before that.
And so I love Justin just getting into fantasy because
(09:27):
what he's doing, I did when I was in college.
I always drafted Reggie Bush. I always drafted Antoine Randall-El.
I always drafted Adrian Peterson, Michael Vick. Justin hits me with,
we got to get Gibby. We've had every Gibby every
year for the last three years, he's doing the same
cyclical thing that every person falls into.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
Get a different team. Speaker 2, I am the exact
same way. I want the same guys. Cause it seems
like I draft guys that I like. that I like
to watch that I cheer for. Not necessarily like I'm
their biggest fan. I'm a bears fan, but it's like, Oh,
like scary Terry. I don't know what it is about him,
but I like him. We know. So it's, it is
(10:13):
weird how you fall into these pigeon holes. Like when
there's your, it's your pick and there's like five people
to pick from. You're like, I'm going to go with
the guy I like. I'm going to go with that guy.
I had him on my team last year. Really like
what he did for me. When really each year should
be a separate entity, but you don't do it. Another
one that I draft every year, Keenan Allen, because all
that dude is catches balls. He's slow as molasses, but
(10:36):
guess what? He's always open and he catches everything.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
And I saw randomly on Pat McAfee. Is he on
the Colts?
Speaker 2 (10:43):
Yeah, I learned that too. I didn't know that.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
I just learned that yesterday.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
I had no idea.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
I don't think I'll draft him this year.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
Well, an old me would have thought, oh, Keenan Allen,
the name, get him.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
Correct.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
I can't believe he's in the ninth round. But he slows,
and there's going to be a faster receiver that's better
than him, but he still does have the name.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
Yeah, so it's just fascinating. I mean, fantasy is just crazy.
And then you have the people that are the Cowboys fans,
and they draft all Cowboys. Or you're a Chiefs fan
and you draft all Chiefs. Or you're a Bills fan
and you draft all the Bills. That's why fantasy is
so fun. You have no idea what people are thinking
or how they look at fantasy and how they're going
to do it.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
And my wife, Mazer, I had joked on this show
how funny it was to me that she secretly got
onto our website, put her email in there. It hopes
that she could get a team and be drawn as
one of the 600 people.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
Where I could have... possibly twisted your arm a little
bit and got her a team correct not necessarily being
a division leader but being like hey can there just
be a wild card for baser i didn't even know
she wanted to play so she just did all that
on her own by listening to the podcast which is
hilarious to me but then she didn't get it dude
she's like legit mad about it that she because her
(11:57):
company isn't doing a fantasy And so she goes, I
don't have one this year. She goes, why is that
funny that I didn't make it? I don't have a
fantasy this league. She's butthurt that she's not in a
fantasy league. She's legit mad about it.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
There is one on the Facebook page. If you didn't
get drawn for the regular one, there's one on the
Facebook page that they set up. Brownlee sets it up
every year.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
And it always comes out one minute after ours so
that people are then confused and knowing which is a
legit fantasy league. The sanction one, Ray.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
Well, there are knockoffs. You know, it's like when I
went to the Messi game and the guys on the
side of the road were selling all the Messi jerseys.
And then there's a legit one when you get inside
the stadium where they had the stand for the Messi jerseys.
You just have to decide. Do you want the illegal
knockoff one or do you want the sanctioned one? But really,
I don't mind Brownlee doing it because the odds are
(12:47):
you're not going to get in the fantasy league. You
can sign up. And she does always say that. Hold on. Oh, man.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
God bless Dolly. either that needs to be the new saying,
God bless Dolly.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
Or our airport needs to be Dolly international. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
They're going to change it. It'll be Dolly international within
the next year. But what I was saying is Brownlee
does make it very clear that, Hey, if you sign
up for this league and then you get drawn into
the regular, the sore losers fantasy league that's sanctioned, then
you can have your, you will take your spot back.
You'll give you your money back. Don't worry about it.
So she is very open and transparent and, And she
(13:26):
makes it very clear that they are not affiliated and
they're not the same league.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
She's very transparent.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
Ray.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
The question I have, are we, do you have a
separate segment for already the uproar now with fantasy, our
fantasy league?
Speaker 2 (13:41):
I mean, just do it right now.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
I think it's hilarious.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
I just don't understand.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
The season hasn't even started guys. And I don't know
if we're going to replay this one on the big
show feed, but we're not, there's already on the website
and the message board already. Already.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
Already complaining. Hey, what's the draft order? How am I
supposed to do my research if I don't know the
draft order? I don't know where I'm drafting, so I
don't know how to do my research. Does it really?
I mean, does it change the whole complexion? Complexion. If
you're drafting fourth or eighth?
Speaker 1 (14:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
It really does?
Speaker 1 (14:19):
Oh, what did you want me to say?
Speaker 2 (14:20):
It changes everything. Yes, certain players won't be available for
but you kind of know who's going to be available
around eight. And if you're that concerned, do a mock
draft from one through 12 and see who you get.
I ain't got time for it.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
Well, and I don't know what Justin is. There's another
complaint too. I'll say in a minute, Justin, I don't
know what he's looking at on our website, but he
has rankings that are totally different than mine. I'm like, hey, man, JSN,
Jackson Smith, and Jigba, he's ranked number nine, or he's
ranked number six on our website. Justin's like, no, he's not.
On what I have, it says five. So his rankings,
(14:57):
wherever he's looking, are different than mine.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
He must be looking at his magazine.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
No, he's on the website, and we both have different rankings. Huh.
So he must be clicking on a different category, or
maybe it goes ADP something.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
I don't know, but I will say this. Go on
and do my draft so you understand what's going on
when your draft does come up. And one suggestion, and
this is what happened last year, is if you do
pre-draft selections... I would be careful about that because I
think that's last year. I think the girl that ended
(15:31):
up drafting Brock Purdy, number three overall, she had put
him in her watch list, like keep an eye on him,
like that's who she was looking to target later in
the draft.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
Instead, that was her draft list.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
And so that ended up was her draft list, and
it drafted him right there.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
She got him confused.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
Got it confused. So I'd be very careful. If you're
going to be in the live draft, I'd be very
careful about pre-selecting.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
And the other complaint that was on the message board.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
Let me hear it.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
Who's the guy? Did you see it? But it was
somebody in my division.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
Oh, probably ABL.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
Okay, ABL. I don't know. I need to learn their names.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
Same guy that was in your league last year.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
Okay, but he goes, no, Arnold's Army?
Speaker 2 (16:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
No, it's somebody else complaining.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
Oh, well, that was the one complaining about the draft order.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
Somebody else complains on there. In my division, he goes, hey,
can't believe Ray's draft is the night before the season
starts on Wednesday, next Wednesday. Okay. Or is it two Wednesdays?
It's two Wednesdays.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
He goes, I can't believe it's the night before. Guys,
I just copied lunch. Lunch is having his the night before.
So I was like, cool, I'll do mine the night before.
And you guys know I go to bed at five.
I made it six central to be accommodating. Guys, I
could have made it two in the afternoon. But I
was like, okay, what's the latest I can do it?
I'll do it at six. This guy goes, can't believe
it's the night before. That doesn't give us any chance
(16:44):
to set our lineups for the next day. You have
24 hours.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
Literally there's one game, one game the next day. So
the odds that you're going to have a player in
that game, probably 2% of.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
All the players drafted. 24 hours to set one player.
Like literally the draft ends, go put them in your
starting lineup.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
If they're that good. They're probably going to be drafted
where they're already in your starting lineup anyway.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
Listen, I know at your job, you guys are going
to be scrolling.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
Yeah, you're not going to be looking at all the
previews in the lead up to the game. You're going
to be all work all the time. You're never going
to click on that website in 24 hours. So you'd
rather do it two weeks early when there's still preseason
games in practice and someone could get hurt. Like when
Jamar chase went down with his knee the other day,
if you had already drafted Jamar chase, you'd be like,
(17:35):
Oh my God, why'd we have the draft so early?
But then Jamar chase is okay.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
And the draft and complaining and train of thought, where
are you?
Speaker 2 (17:47):
I see. I like to do it at the end
of training camp right before the season. So, you know,
everybody that is injured.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
Oh, and at your jobs, guys, the reports have come out. Apparently,
if you don't do crap, if you don't own your
own business, you're not doing crap during the day. We've
seen the reports.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
I mean, look at the tugboaters. They're doing down the river.
They are on autopilot looking at their fantasy team. Nothing.
I mean, we know Robles is at the firehouse. And
all he's doing is looking at his fantasy team. He said,
(18:23):
there it is. Or he's maybe staring at the sonogram,
you know, like, oh my God, I'm going to be
a dad still. Congratulations on that. But yes, that's, I mean,
to act like it is so impossible to set your
lineup when you have 24 hours is insane.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
Speaker 3, we're going to take a break. I'm sure
you got a good tease.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
We're going to take a break right now. And when
we come back, I'm going to tell you there's big
trouble in the box house. Tell you all about it
right after this, Speaker.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
0, I don't know how to say this. I'm getting
a divorce.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
We have one sleep, one sleep until the soccer season
starts until my boys go out there on the pitch
for the first time this season dressed in their uniform,
ready to take on the opponent in a battle. And
I'm just going to break it down to you like this.
Baby Box's team is going to get slaughtered. I just
(19:17):
have a feeling they are going to get slaughtered because
they have eight players on their team and there's three
of them that give a shit. Three of them. Three
of them actually care. The other five are out there
and they don't give two craps. about playing the game
of soccer. They don't really understand it. They're not really interested.
(19:39):
They just want to goof off and be jackasses. We
are in deep trouble, deep trouble Cause at practice, they
sure as hell don't listen. They absolutely don't listen. We've
had two practices and they just, there's three kids that
want to listen. The other ones do not. And I
am just like, we are about to go out there
tomorrow and it is about to be a freaking beating
(20:03):
and it's going to be embarrassing. It's going to be sad.
And my kids are going to be upset. But those
five that don't care, I don't think they'll give a crap.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
The question is, how do you know this before?
Speaker 2 (20:15):
How do I know what?
Speaker 1 (20:16):
The outcome.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
Well, I'm just telling you by how practice goes, how
it's going to go in the game. I'm just telling you,
there's three kids that are really into it and really trying.
The other ones are like, let's wrestle and things like that.
So I just have a feeling it's going to get ugly.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
Does that go on the coach?
Speaker 2 (20:36):
A little bit on the coach. A little bit. I
think part of the problem is they all go to
school together. So they all know each other. But that
shouldn't be a problem. That should be like, okay, I'm comfortable.
I'm not nervous. But I think some of them just
aren't competitive. They're not into battling each other. Just like, okay, whatever.
(21:00):
If I lose, I lose. And I talked to my
dad about this. I was like, man. I think it's
because they all know each other, so they're just so comfortable.
They just goof off a lot. And he goes, no,
because you guys all knew each other growing up. And
he goes, you guys were just so competitive with each
other that you were like, man, I'm not going to
let that guy score.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
Yeah, there's that. Don't you want to be the one
in your parents' vehicle parading around town with the championship?
Isn't there that pride?
Speaker 2 (21:26):
Oh, I have that pride in me. There's three kids
on the team that have that pride. The other five,
they don't.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
I remember when we would win, not the soccer. We
didn't have that in Wyoming.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
You didn't have that sissy sport up there in Wyoming.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
But the team that would win got to drive their
vehicles around town, yelling to everybody, and then we got
to go jump off the pier. The team that lost
didn't get to do any of that. And you would
talk about it then. The whole next year, we jumped
off the pier. Probably parents shouldn't have let us do
that because it was like weird algae, and sometimes it
(22:01):
would kind of suck you under. And, you know, if
you can swim great, it probably wasn't the smartest thing.
We were driving the back of Dad's truck, driving like
60 miles an hour, probably not that safe. You get
slushies and slurpees. The losing team doesn't get that.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
Yeah, and I mean, I understand it's just week one,
and maybe it'll be a wake-up call for them when
they walk out there and that other team's organized and
disciplined and just smacks us around.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
How do you know they're disciplined?
Speaker 2 (22:26):
I don't.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
I'm so kidding. I've been secretly spying. I just assume.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
They're going to be a lot more disciplined and a
lot more together than we are. After I've seen our
first two practices, that's what I'm saying. See, I didn't know.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
And I've said this before. I didn't know that I
sucked at baseball until I went to like the States.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
Right.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
So whatever level we're talking, what you guys are seeing
on TV right now.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
We were the best in the city.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
We were the best out of a couple other cities.
But when we went to the whole state tournament and
anybody could go, it's not like we're even decent. We
would get beat 20 to nothing, and that was my
first time seeing that. And I was like, wow. Not
that they were more organized. They were just bigger and better. Right.
And I don't know if my dad. So right now
what you're having, that intuition, a man's intuition, I don't
(23:15):
know if my dad knew that. Or did my dad
know that? oh my gosh, we're going to get killed
at States. Because us kids, we had no idea we
were going to get beat 20 to nothing until we
showed up on the field. And I was the shortest kid.
There were kids in elementary school tolerating me at the
state tournament. I was like, wow. And they're like, sir,
do you want a snow cone? I was like, no,
(23:36):
I'm on the team.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
See, I'm going to try this new coaching philosophy out.
I'm not going to coach from the sidelines. I'm just
going to tell them, good job, good hustle. That's it.
I'm not going to yell at them where they need
to be. They need to get back on defense. You
need to pass it here. You need to do this.
Because they've got to learn that on their own. We
(24:01):
try to teach it in practice. In the game, you're
going to be screaming one thing. A parent's going to
be screaming another. They're going to be screaming something else.
Not me. I'm just going to be going, good job, guys.
Good hustle. Sure.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
Wait until it actually happens.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
No, I am going to. keep myself in my little box.
I'm just going to sit there and I'm going to
cheer them on and tell them good luck.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
And also you think back to coaches, all the yelling
they did. I mean, did you really, it just confuses you.
It confuses you, especially in basketball. I don't know about
in soccer and basketball. So a reactionary by the time
the coach told me they were going back door, they
already backdoored me and my butt was sore. So that's
what I'm saying. And basketball is so reactionary. That should
(24:48):
be the sport. You're just chilling. I'll talk about it
at halftime.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
It's sort of like in baseball. If you don't know
what base is, like where the play is, second or first,
and the ground ball comes to you, by the time
you look at each base. Too late. Right.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
So the coach shouldn't be yelling, throw to first.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
Right.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
Too late.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
Too late.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
Or if you say, pass, pass, pass. Too late. The
kids have to learn to do that. Or the parents
that are yelling, shoot it, shoot it, shoot. You don't
think the kid wants to shoot it? They want to
shoot it. That's all they're thinking about is shoot it.
You yelling at them just makes it more pressure.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
So they've put you in this position as head coach
or what are you?
Speaker 2 (25:26):
Head coach.
Speaker 1 (25:27):
Is there another coach?
Speaker 2 (25:28):
No.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
I mean, we're all coaches.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
Yes, Ray. But my question is this. They've put you
in this position and you're just going to say, good job.
Good play. Yep. That's the insight you're getting?
Speaker 2 (25:40):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
Wow. I mean, I bet there's some talking amongst the parents.
Is the lady in the summer dress.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
It's the divorcee? No, that's baseball.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
She's got to get her kids in soccer.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
They might be. We might see her out of the field.
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
Do you think there's going to be some whispers? Hey,
does this coach know what he's doing?
Speaker 2 (26:00):
Yeah, I don't think he's cut out for the job.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
Is that lunchbox from the big show?
Speaker 2 (26:05):
Why did we let him coach our kids? He's not
doing a very good job. And then also... I got
my roster right, and there's one kid that signed up
is on my roster. I've emailed twice, texted the mother.
No response.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
That's on the parents.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
They've not been to a single practice, so I don't
even know what they're playing in the game tomorrow. I
have no idea if they're even on the team.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
But, I mean, he doesn't get the emails, right?
Speaker 2 (26:30):
Right, but that's on the parent. But I'm like, how
do you sign your child up? And not respond to
any communication from the coach.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
What is his email? Like little Johnny at kid. It
goes to the mom, right? So it's her job, but
that's what I'm saying. How do you sign him up?
And then just totally ignore all the communication from the league.
I bet they're busy.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
How busy can you be? I texted and said, Hey,
I've been sending emails. Just want to make sure you
got them. We have our first game this weekend. Didn't
want your son to miss it. Just checking in to
make sure you're still playing this season. Just let me
know if you have any questions. Thanks.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
Coach. I was telling Abby that I was so busy
the other day and I was spread so thin, I
woke up in the morning, had 20 family texts. Hate
that I did it, but this is how overwhelmed I was.
Speaker 2 (27:18):
Deleted them all.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
I went to the right, swiped, deleted without even reading.
I had 20 texts from Justin, some of them rage texts.
To the right, deleted them all. I had 10 texts
from the overnight guy who gives me stock picks.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
To the right. Deleted them all. I was that overwhelmed.
I was like, I can't do 42 text messages to
start the day. Deleted them all. Never read them ever.
Because all those people had been warned. I told the
overnight guy. I said, hey, I'm going on vacation. Need
some time away. Not doing stocks right now. And then
he still proceeds to text me 10 times while I'm
in bed.
Speaker 2 (27:55):
My family.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
Hey, guys, I'm spread pretty thin. Dolly Parton died. Delete.
They didn't listen to me. And Justin. I said, hey, Justin,
as a fellow college graduate, you can understand this. I'm
spread a little thin at work. Overwhelmed. Not a lot
of time right now. He still texts me. Deleted.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (28:13):
So guess how many texts I have right now?
Speaker 2 (28:15):
Zero.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
Zero. Because you know what? I told everybody in my
life for the next week, don't text me. I'm overwhelmed.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
That's very good. I'm proud of you.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
And Bays are obliged.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
That's pretty impressive. And I'm going to tell you this
right now, though. So that team's going to be terrible.
But Baby Box 2, their team is going to dominate.
They are so freaking good. They have some studs on
their team. Better Gerbers or what? I just think more competitive,
(28:48):
more intense. Him... There's him, this kid named Jackson, and
then Mickey, and then Darren, and Walker. Those five, dude,
they are all in it. And Theo, freaking, he's going
(29:08):
to be a good defender. Big kid. And the coach,
good coach, had him running that first practice. And then
they had their second practice yesterday, and he texts and
he says, hey- I can't make practice. Can someone do
practice for me? I said, I'll do practice for you.
So I took over the team yesterday, and then he
showed up.
Speaker 1 (29:29):
And I wonder, how can he just not make practice?
Is it because of whatever his practice is?
Speaker 2 (29:33):
I didn't know why he couldn't make it, but he
showed up, and I was like, oh, I thought you
weren't going to make it. He goes, I'm just here
for a minute. I'm dropping off the water. bottle.
Speaker 1 (29:41):
What the?
Speaker 2 (29:41):
He brought a big gallon, a big five gallon jug
of water.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
So you had time to go by Costco?
Speaker 2 (29:46):
I was like, oh. He was like, it's my son's
birthday today. I'm late for the birthday dinner. I got
to go right now. And I'm having an affair. I mean,
a hair. And I was like, oh, okay, cool. That's cool.
All right, cool, man. See you later, man. We'll see
you Saturday. And he goes, oh. About Saturday. I'm not
going to be able to make it Saturday. Do you
think you could coach the team on Saturday?
Speaker 1 (30:04):
Does he have a drinking problem?
Speaker 2 (30:06):
No, he said that it was his son's birthday party
on Saturday. And I said, all right, man, I got you.
I'll be coaching the team on Saturday. But then that
means his kid, Walker, and another kid all won't be there, Theo,
because they all go to school together. They're all going
to his birthday party.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
And what I'm realizing, we're in a bigger city. That's
why there's so many birthday parties. Yeah. I was always
in smaller classes, and half the people are in summer,
and the other half fall on the weekend, or you
don't celebrate because you're not friends with them. So there's
like three people that have a birthday a year. You
guys are dealing with like 300.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
That's it. I mean, but they are going to be
really good. They got some solid, solid players. I do
need Walker, though, to toughen up. He's really good, but
he took one, like, Hit on his hand yesterday. He
sat out the rest of practice. Okay. And I was like, hey,
we're going to need to get you a little tougher.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
Can I give you some advice?
Speaker 2 (31:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
Do we need to take a break?
Speaker 2 (31:05):
Well, I'm going to tell you one more thing.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
After the break.
Speaker 2 (31:09):
Okay. Yeah. After the break. Baby box three. His team.
I have no idea what they're going to be. But
him being a four-year-old on kindergarten team, which is five
and six-year-olds. I was worried about it, but he's going
to be fine.
Speaker 1 (31:25):
They're a bunch of newborns.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
He's going to be fine. He scored a goal in
practice the other day, and he came running back like
it was an NSC game and started pumping up the crowd,
doing his arms like trying to get everybody to stand up.
And so all the parents had to stand up and cheer.
And he was like, yeah! So he's going to be fine.
I don't know about the team, per se, because I
(31:47):
haven't really seen other kindergartners play. He's not in kindergarten,
but he's on the kindergarten team. But he's going to
be fine. He's aggressive. He's going to be fine. And
they'll just be mediocre. Not worried about that.
Speaker 1 (31:58):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (31:59):
What's your advice?
Speaker 1 (32:00):
So here, if I had kids, this is a segment.
If I had kids, this is what I would do.
They're around their friends in the affluent school district, They're
around other successful families. They're all fed with spoons that
are silver. Have you ever once driven by a poor
(32:25):
part of town and said, kids, we could live under
that bridge?
Speaker 2 (32:32):
No.
Speaker 1 (32:33):
See, if I was a parent, I would do that
all the time. I'm driving to the roughest neighborhood in Chicago,
Caprini Greens, and I'm going to say, That's where we
could have grown up if I didn't get a job
in radio. So consider yourself blessed. Also, with sports, have
you ever shown them other countries playing sports?
Speaker 2 (32:55):
Yeah, we watched the World Cup.
Speaker 1 (32:56):
Those are adults.
Speaker 2 (32:58):
Oh, you mean kids.
Speaker 1 (33:00):
I would almost suggest you guys, as a family, go
on a missions trip. You're not necessarily doing missions work,
but maybe go to... Where's Messi from?
Speaker 2 (33:10):
Argentina.
Speaker 1 (33:11):
You go to Argentina. You go to Central America and
you show them kids their age and how they play
the sport. Because right now they're just around all these
American kids that eat snow cones and ice cream and
have streaming services. For a vacation, I would say go
do some missions work. Show them other countries' kids their
(33:33):
age and how they play the sport.
Speaker 2 (33:35):
And they'd be amazed at how far along they are
compared to where they're at.
Speaker 1 (33:38):
Yeah, because I think I watched a show on it maybe.
I never went to another country. Maybe we had kids
visit missionaries, and I learned about stickball. So from then on,
I only played with a smaller ball and a stick
for a bat, and my baseball got tremendously better. But
if I would have been able to have gone to
(33:59):
the Dominican Republic or something like that.
Speaker 2 (34:01):
And you saw them doing the bottle caps.
Speaker 1 (34:02):
Bottle caps and sticks. That's how you learn. So I'm
saying maybe take them out of the castle.
Speaker 2 (34:11):
Get them out of the comfort zone and put them
in the rough zone and let them feel what it
feels like.
Speaker 1 (34:17):
Cross the moat. Seed life on the other side of
the moat. Man, I never thought about that. If I
was a parent, that's what I would do. You know
how many times I'd drive by a rough place in Memphis?
I would take my family there every other weekend. Hey, guys,
do you see where that, the violence and the stuff
(34:40):
that you saw on the news? That's where it happened.
That could have been where we lived, but because we
are blessed, we don't have to deal with that violence, okay?
But we're going to vacation here because I want you
to see this violence that you don't have to deal with.
Speaker 2 (34:53):
Yeah, well, wish us luck as we take the field
tomorrow for our first game, all three of them. And
then I realized there was one problem, that I told
that coach that I would coach Baby Box's team on
Saturday since he couldn't be there. Baby Box 3 and
him play at the same time, so I won't be
able to watch his game.
Speaker 1 (35:10):
Yeah, you're going to run into that as a parent.
Speaker 2 (35:12):
No, but as a parent, I was thinking I could
stand between the two fields and just kind of turn
my head back and forth. But as a coach, I'm
going to have to be dialed in.
Speaker 1 (35:20):
Yeah, and this coaching thing, I think it's limiting you.
Speaker 2 (35:24):
No, it's amazing.
Speaker 1 (35:25):
Because you just have to be on the sideline as
some kind of politician. Good job. Good play. You're not
even being yourself. You're giving no input.
Speaker 2 (35:35):
They've got to learn.
Speaker 1 (35:36):
Yeah, I don't think that's good. Even though it doesn't
really help them, who knows? But for you to be
on the sideline and not yourself, you might as well
have the divorcee get her kids into soccer and she
be on the sidelines.
Speaker 2 (35:50):
Well, I mean, I can give them strategy before the
game and at halftime. Then we're good.
Speaker 1 (35:55):
Are you guys just on the sideline before a game
just kicking a ball? Have you ever considered using alternate
methods of training?
Speaker 2 (36:06):
Like what?
Speaker 1 (36:08):
Is the soccer ball light?
Speaker 2 (36:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (36:10):
What I would do before a game, I'd make them
kick around a medicine ball. A 10-pound medicine ball.
Speaker 2 (36:17):
You're going to break their foot.
Speaker 1 (36:19):
Toughen them up. And then during the game, how much
of a blessing is it to kick this light ball
that flies through the air? The medicine ball didn't really
fly like this.
Speaker 2 (36:30):
Yeah, like throw a weighted baseball, and then when you
get on the mound, throw a real baseball, and it'll
fly out of your hands.
Speaker 1 (36:35):
With baseball, what I would do is I wouldn't allow
myself to swing a bat. Until I was in the
batter's box. So I would take a glove. The glove
was now my bat and it taught me to catch
the ball as it was coming to the bat instead
of using a bat. So that allowed me to wait
on the ball and it allowed me to almost envision
(36:57):
my bat as a glove when I was batting during
the games. You have to use these alternate methods or
you're never going to be different than the opponent. Take
them to do missions work. Have them envision a medicine
ball instead of a soccer ball. Stuff like that. And
I'll hang up and listen.
Speaker 2 (37:15):
You might be on to something.
Speaker 1 (37:16):
Ray, I'm going to Dick's today and getting a medicine ball.
I mean, I'm telling you, a couple kids are going
to twist their ankles.
Speaker 2 (37:22):
But you know what?
Speaker 1 (37:23):
The other 10 are going to be tough.
Speaker 2 (37:25):
Yeah. That's interesting.
Speaker 1 (37:27):
They, like, can't even kick it. The ball just sits.
Speaker 2 (37:29):
There in the middle of the pitch. It doesn't move. Ah! Ah,
it's like they're kicking a rock.
Speaker 1 (37:36):
Or you got a weightlifter, not a weightlifter's band, a
fitness band. You put them around their legs. How nice
does it feel to be free with your legs? What
if you're hindered and you're playing potato sack?
Speaker 2 (37:49):
That's a good idea. We'll warm up in potato sacks,
and then once they can move, they're like, wow, freedom
is amazing.
Speaker 1 (37:55):
Or they're just doing potato sack races, and then the
other coach is like.
Speaker 2 (37:58):
What the? Maybe we need to go buy potato sacks.
Speaker 1 (38:01):
I mean, totally throw them off.
Speaker 2 (38:03):
Man. What if we just start playing leapfrog before the game? Oh,
my God, we got these guys. And then we come
out and smash them. What a day.
Speaker 1 (38:13):
Yeah, we got anything else, man?
Speaker 2 (38:14):
No, that's it. I don't know. I didn't have much.
I was struggling today.
Speaker 1 (38:17):
Yeah, we're sure it's not going to replay this.
Speaker 2 (38:19):
I told you we weren't. I knew going in we
didn't have much because I wrote some stuff down on
some papers, but then I lost it. But I did
see this. There was a guy playing golf in Florida,
and there were some teenagers in front of him. And
he was tired of their slow play. 50 year old
dude rammed his golf cart into their golf cart and
then punched, got out and beat him. He's not walking
(38:43):
back at that course.
Speaker 1 (38:44):
Well, and there is, you can do a little bit
of a dome job or a warning missile. Have you
ever done that a little bit of the group in front? Okay.
Speaker 2 (38:54):
Cause listen, listen, I get frustrated and I'll say, come on,
I'll yell something, but never hit a ball too dangerous.
I mean, see Kane Brown. I mean, he almost lost
an ear, almost lost his life because of it. Um,
there's a kid. Um, I'll tell that story later. Uh,
(39:16):
so I don't want to put someone's life in danger.
In the grand scheme of things, yes, slow play is frustrating,
but man, we're out there and you're supposed to be relaxed,
so you should just take it in stride. It's not
worth going to battle over how slow or fast they're
playing on a golf course. It is frustrating. I understand that,
but geez, guys firing missiles at people, not it.
Speaker 1 (39:38):
But also are you of the mind where you see
some people on the green and you're 200 out? Like
for me, one in a million, I'm going to hit
it on the green. I'll still hit it. I don't
think you should wait, because you wait, and guess what?
You're going to chili dip.
Speaker 2 (39:56):
100%.
Speaker 1 (39:57):
Wait or hit? Hit. Okay.
Speaker 2 (39:59):
Because the other day I played, and the dude is
260 out. The old guy's in front of me, and
there's people in the green, and they're not hitting. I'm like, guys,
you can't hit the ball 260 yards. And even if
you do, it's going to be rolling up there, and
they'll go, good shot, good shot. You hit a rock,
and it's a miracle it made it up there. Because
you're right. The more you wait and stand over it
(40:22):
and be like, okay, I got to wait, I got
to wait, you're going to chili dip it.
Speaker 1 (40:24):
And the 150 out, I get that.
Speaker 2 (40:26):
I totally get that.
Speaker 1 (40:27):
It's a club that everybody, not everybody, but you're probably
going to hit on the green if you're a decent golfer.
But the 200... It's a hybrid. You almost have to
hit it perfectly. Miracle to get it on. Okay, I
swing every time with that. And sometimes I'll get a
look back, and I'm like, buddy, I was never going
to hit you. It's definitely 15 feet away from you,
but I was never going to hit you.
Speaker 2 (40:47):
It's short of the green, dude. You're plenty fine. I'm
with you. Absolutely hit. Absolutely hit.
Speaker 1 (40:53):
Because this could be becoming more of a thing with
people waiting and Marshall's not necessarily keeping the pace of
play up. It's, it's huge out there. Cause there's guys
that are scratch golfers. And then you got dad trying
to repair his relationship with his son out there playing.
There's going to be kind of a little bit of
a give and take tug and pull reach around issue
with timing and how groups flow. There really is.
Speaker 2 (41:16):
There really is. But you guys have a great weekend. Sorry.
This pod was great. We can't do them all bad.
So this one's great. Have a great weekend. Sore losers.com.
Get your tickets to the convention payment plans. We want
to see you in Nashville. We out.
Speaker 1 (41:31):
Ray, I've heard the ticket sales have been through the roof.
Speaker 2 (41:34):
I haven't heard anything. I just know Randy, a tour,
and his chick are coming back.
Speaker 1 (41:39):
Can we get an update? When did we put tickets
on sale last year?
Speaker 2 (41:44):
November.
Speaker 1 (41:45):
See, every day that we have tickets on sale ahead
of that last year, I'm like, job well done us.
Speaker 2 (41:52):
I mean, we finally did it.
Speaker 1 (41:53):
For the next three months, we can pat ourselves on
the back every single day for having this up. Because
that's what people asked for. So we gave it what
they asked for.
Speaker 2 (42:03):
Exactly. Except they asked for merch and we didn't give
them that. But yeah, that's okay. We're getting that. We're
working on it. We're working on it, man. Hey, you
have a great weekend, man.
Speaker 1 (42:12):
Yeah, you too, man.
Speaker 2 (42:13):
You too, man. All right. We got to go. Did
I already buzz? I don't know if I buzzed before.
Speaker 1 (42:22):
That might have been a double buzz.
Speaker 2 (42:23):
Might have been a double buzz. All right, man.
Speaker 1 (42:26):
Man, I can see now why we weren't number top
18 podcasts in America. This was bad.
Speaker 2 (42:30):
Man, that was bad. That was bad. That was a struggle.
Struggle bus. Sorry.
Speaker 1 (42:36):
Man.
Speaker 2 (42:37):
Man. Ugh. Man.
Speaker 1 (42:40):
Should have brought on McKitty.
Speaker 2 (42:42):
Could have. We saw him in the hallway, but.
Speaker 1 (42:44):
I wanted to bring on Ibiza, but apparently he's in Mexico. What?
Speaker 2 (42:47):
Doing what?
Speaker 1 (42:49):
I thought morning shows were in full swing right now,
and he's just taking vacation time.
Speaker 2 (42:52):
Dude, he does not care. He's always traveling.
Speaker 1 (42:55):
But I don't believe they have a— well, they do have
a boss. I guess he just allows them to have
their additional time off. I don't know. Man. But, I mean,
this right now— But he does.
Speaker 2 (43:09):
I like him because he lives his life. He travels
and sees the world.
Speaker 1 (43:14):
Right, but I'm pretty sure in the radio world, this
is the time. Okay, guys, boom. Best segments. Kids are
in school. Let's go. Ibiza's in Mexico?
Speaker 2 (43:23):
That's a good segment. Ibiza from the beach.
Speaker 1 (43:27):
He's been to Ibiza. He went to Monaco, or it
was another place.
Speaker 2 (43:33):
He went to Ireland.
Speaker 1 (43:36):
Yep, and now Mexico. Gosh.
Speaker 2 (43:40):
You know where I went?
Speaker 1 (43:41):
7-Eleven, man. I was going to say Broadway or a
grocery store down the way from your moat.
Speaker 2 (43:47):
Well, that's it. That's all I've done. Oh, man.
Speaker 1 (43:51):
All right, man.
Speaker 2 (43:51):
We got to go. Yeah.
