Speaker 1 (00:09):
Oh, the one to so loser? What up everybody? I
am Lunchbox. I know the most about sports, so I'll
give it the sports facts, my sports opinions because I'm
pretty much a sports genius. What's up everyone? I am
Eddie and I know the least about the sports. But

(00:29):
I'm your average sports fan, your sports watcher. I don't
know the who's who's in it, don't know what's what?
What's up, y'all? It is says I'm from the North
Alpha Male West Side, Nashville. Re signed our lease. Me
and Baser will continue to shotgun Hard Seltzer's on the
weekends on the West Side pool Side for the next year. Guys,

(00:51):
over to you, Well, we have a new segment today.
You want to try a new segment pull my pants
down and call me Spanky? No, it's called what does
Ray want to talk about? At the end of last week,
we had some podcasts. Ray was very upset with his
h a lot of interviews. Yeah, we had some interviews

(01:13):
with Pitts and also with Mark Long and they didn't
go the way Ray wanted to. Ray was upset. He
left UM last Friday feeling dejected. He was going into
the weekend in a bad mood, saying he didn't have
enough time to voice his opinions and his jokes. So
our new segment is what does Ray want to talk about?
Thirty minutes? Good? Okay, guys, thank you? Wow? What a blessing?

(01:36):
Um have you guys been doing? Beat the Streek? But whoa,
you're not even picking guys. I should do that right now.
It's free money if you get fifty six. I know
I haven't even done it, didn't get I've been so
wrapped up in my k The wife got up to
uh six and then she missed it, but she was
fifty away from the five point six million. Guys, what's

(01:58):
the most you've gotten, coach? Uh? This season twelve? A
couple of seasons ago I got. Yeah. I have been
so wrapped up in my fantasy baseball that I haven't
paid attention to this, and so I have not done
beat the Streak. And I don't know why because I'm
watching a lot of baseball and watching my fantasy team.
So I should just do beat the Street because it's easy.
Click click, move on with your life. But I haven't

(02:21):
done it. What's it? Go beat your meat, guys, Go
to MLB dot Com beat the streak. It's free to play.
If you can get fifty six in a row. You
pick two guys a day if you want. You could
essentially get there in a month and win five point
six million dollars. The person who had the hitting streak
of fifty six in a row, Eddie was thank you

(02:42):
Eddie for reading the script from Arnold Arnold, guys over
to you. Yeah, I was well, here's the good news. Okay,
Alex Smith is retiring from the NFL. Who whoa, whoa? Wait?
Wait is he done? He said, guys over to you?
He was done. He didn't want to use the whole
thirty minutes, but Alex Smith posted on Instagram there's a

(03:04):
two minute clip. Gosh, I have not listened to the
whole thing. That's the risk we run. When I got
it over on my email, I want to hear what
he said. This is the video posted to Instagram announcing
his retirement from the NFL. Uh. This video quality looks
a lot better than Eddie's. I'll play it. Two years ago,
I was stuck in a wheelchair, staring down at my
mangled leg, wondering if I'd ever be able to go

(03:25):
on a walk with my wife again, or play games
with my kids in the yard. Putting my helmet back
on was guys, I'm sorry, if you're driving a truck
pull over. Uh no, not that reason. Emotional God, I
think some of these right, and that's a tough one.
I'm gonna choke him back right now. I'm driving through
d C and choking it man. All right, I'm gonna
continue to play it. Boys. It's the farthest thing from

(03:47):
my mind. I just kept asking myself all this for
a stupid game. But then someone did something that changed
my recovery completely. He put a football back in my hands.
I don't know it was, but all of a sudden,
I felt stronger, more driven, and what once seemed impossible
began to come into focus. And the truth is, over

(04:10):
the course of my life, that's what this game has
done for me. I was a skinny, no name recruit
who wasn't even supposed to play in college, let alone
go to New York as a Heisman finalist or be
the first one to have his name called on draft night,
and then on a routine play, I almost lost everything.
But football wouldn't let me give up, because no, this

(04:33):
isn't just a game. It's not just what happens between
those white lines on a Sunday afternoon. It's about the
challenges and the commitment they require. It's about how hard
and how far you can push yourself. It's about the
bond between those fifty three guys in the locker room
and everybody else in the organization. It's about fully committing

(04:54):
yourself to something bigger, and most of all, it's about you.
So to everyone out there, whether you're a part of
Niner Nation, the Chief's Kingdom, or the Burgundy and Gold,
I thank you to all the men I had the
privilege of standing with and playing alongside. Thank you. I
want to say thank you for believing in me, and

(05:15):
thank you for helping me believe in myself and in
the impossible. And here we go. Wow, folks, Alex Smith
for the first time, Because even though I've got plenty
of snaps left in me after sixteen years of giving
this game everything I've got, I can't wait to see
what else is possible. But first I'm going to take

(05:36):
a little time to enjoy a few of those walks
with my wife and my kids. Have no idea what's
coming for them in the backyard. What's coming two years ago?
What's been doing again? We're gonna have everybody crying right
now in the interstate. That was chill ball. I thought
that was incredible. I didn't get to me. He's like,

(05:58):
I'm gonna take some time to spend some time with
my wife. And you guys didn't see the video footage,
but it shows her with a couple of cannons. Oh yeah, coach,
he's gonna enjoy every bit of marriage. Boy. I think
that was a great man. I thought that was a
great video, a great message. I didn't see the video.
I just heard it. No, that's what I'm saying. Yeah,
that's all I did. No, I'm just saying I didn't

(06:19):
watch the video. I just said it's ray I saw it.
And other than the cannons, what else did you see?
That was? He did some footage we haven't seen of
when he was rehabbing, which really makes you think Mountain
is but a mole hill. Boys, anything is possible. Make
that a shirt and I will hang up and listen.

(06:40):
I just think it was pretty incredible like that. That
that was pretty touching. I thought it was good who
put the ball in his hands? One of the doctors.
One of the doctors, we gave him a football show
because they showed that in the video. They showed the
doctor like just come out with the football and put
in his hand. You know. It was one of those guys,
you know, the doctors, they all have a football sitting around.

(07:01):
They like to throw it around, kind of remind him
of high school in s, you know. And then he's
got the idea like, hey, I got a football there,
why don't I just put it in his hand. Hey, Alex,
you know what one of these is, Come here, man,
throw the pigskin. Hey. And then that turned into him
making a come back to the NFL. No, I think
it's maybe Alex Smith was down on himself, wasn't motivated,

(07:22):
rehab wasn't going as well as he wanted it to.
The doctor looked for something to inspire him and gave
him a football, and he just said, you know what,
it changed my motivation. That's what he said in that video.
And I think that deep down he didn't know what
he was fighting for. He was like, going through rehab cool,
But then once you put the football in his hand,
he was like, you know what, I'm gonna try to
play again. This is gonna be my end goal and

(07:42):
it gives me something really to work hard towards. And
he said it changed. I thought it was chill bump worthy.
I thought that was excellent. You know why, Alex roll
your back out on this thing right here? Try that
on for size. You know. One time I was like,
I lost a lot of bets. I was having a
bad Saturday or something. You know, here we go, great
comparison to love the parallel, and I was all moody

(08:02):
on the couch and everything, and one of my boys
comes up to me with a football and he puts
that football in my hand and Dad plays another parlay.
He's like, let's play foot by that and we did,
and Coach, you know what, it got me off the couch.
It got me off the couch. So I get what
he's saying, Coach. And the Bezer has done the same
thing to me many of moons when I've had a
couple at the house and maybe not as energetic as

(08:24):
I usually, and she's like, get the football out, we
can play catch in the living room. Like, are you
dead serious right now? Bezer? Only about once h once
a month a blue moon does she let me play
football catch with her in the living room because god
knows what she's going to knock out. She's hit lights
all before, but sometimes she does that, and that might
be the same moment that Alex Smith's. That's like my son,

(08:44):
my two year old groups dad, you give me about
a month ago, we were walking We're gonna go to
the part of doll in my hand, not a football.
We're walking to the park and he's like, no park,
no park. Didn't want to go to the park. And
we got there, he starts crying, she told you, no park.
So we're walking home and we're on the edge of
the woods. He's still crying, no, no, And there in

(09:08):
the leaves we find a football and cps. He picks
it up. He picks it up immediately stops crying. It's
like Dad, Dawn, my football, Dad, my football. And he
is enamored with the football. He's in a good mood.
It changed his whole attitude. He slept with that football
for like two weeks. Who grabbed the football? You or

(09:29):
him him? Oh, I mean I picked it up on
the and the then smashed kind the doctor to his Alex,
we were playing out in the front yard and he
was in a bad mood. He nailed him in the face.
Kid ever have a good day, Coach. He's kind of
like lunch box. And the neighbor next door, Stephanie, goes, hey, Bud,

(09:52):
I got you something, and she comes out with a
nerf football and guess what changed his whole attitude. He
handed it over the fence to him and he said,
no football, and he was like, oh oh, and then
he won't let his brother play with it. My football,
my football, And it changed the whole day. I mean,
he was in a good movie because somebody put a football.

(10:12):
And that's two instances of someone putting a football in
his hand and his mood changing. That's completely uh dumb question.
Was he sensationalizing or honest to god? Did the doctor
give him a football? And that's what kind of motivated
him to go back? Coach. He said that in that
video that you played, he said, verbatim, I don't you

(10:33):
know why for this stupid game, like I'm gonna do
all this for this dungan. And then out of nowhere,
out of nowhere, someone came and put a football. The
doctor did, and maybe that's the motivation he needed. And
maybe the doctor said I need something, or maybe the
wife went to the doctor said, hey, look, I need
you to boost his spirits, try something else. He's not
the same Alex Smith that I'm used to, the one

(10:55):
that I married, the upbeat guy. He's down, he's defeated.
Can you do something to motivate him? And maybe that's
what she she went to the doctor. The doctor gave
him the football changed everything. But it was what an
incredible maybe the greatest comeback in sports history. True, but
but that's one of them. He's been Hogan, I guess

(11:15):
when he was in the car wreck, but I wasn't
around then, so I don't know. Baylor. Baylor wasn't an
individual the greatest rebound. How's happened? Rebound and rebuild championship? Yes,
but the biggest No, No, no, but that's not that's
not an individual coming back from some Tiger not the matter.

(11:38):
Tiger almost lose his legs. Do you remember everyone said
he could have coached with the fire hydrant? Did he
didn't come back? Was Tiger banging twelve chicks? The Tiger
came back from his binder? Why would everyone say he's back? Then?
I thought that was the big thing because he wasn't
competitive for like three years because he would come back, coach,
but he yes, but not fighting for Tiger. I'm just

(12:00):
put him one more on the list. But he wasn't
anywhere near what Alex Smith was. Alex Smith almost lost
his legs. I mean look at him now, like we
need to stop putting the tag come back on everything.
And you drop off your car to get the tires
balance and you come back to They go, what a comeback?
You came back to get your car after it was serviced. No, Now,

(12:20):
it depends how far you walk and you go get
some neat it's a pretty good comeback. If you went
across the six lane highway, that's a good comeback. Are
you saying, coach, when we drop off our kids at school,
when we pick him up at three o'clock, you came back. Guys, listen,
Tiger banging the Perkins twelve ain't to come back. In
my opinion, Tiger coming back from the car wreck, good

(12:40):
God if he does. And I just saw somebody tweeted
this weekend, I think Jake going, Lord help us, that
will be the greatest comeback I've ever seen. And I
will hang up. I think he did. I did Jake
ever watch Alex Smith? Um, let me ask him, Coach
He's on he's line to Jake. But I'm just saying

(13:02):
the greatest comeback to Tiger. I don't think tigers in
worre shape than Alex Smith was. Let's see who else?
Who else? Tiger was wrapped around a tree there on
Rachel Cucamonga Boulevard. Coach Dale Jr. God, the hell of
a comeback? What did he come back from Daytona? He
started last place? But you want the whole thing? Okay, okay,

(13:24):
you know there's some construction. The Nationals were in last place.
You ever trying to start a race in the very
back and then win the damn thing? I don't think so,
bubb that was a hell of comeback. Not to mention
he lost his dad. Did you see Jared on Sunday
when I have a comeback? But there are people that

(13:44):
talk racing and I would love to excuse me. Is
racing coming to Nashville? Did I see an advertisement that
NASCAR is coming to Nashville. You're telling me Chase Elliot's
gonna be right here in our backyard. You're telling me
get ready for a blow to smog and I'll hang
up and listen. You're telling me that Kyle Bush is
gonna be in my backyard, Danny Kapatrick. No, she's not

(14:08):
race any you're telling me that Bubba Wallace is gonna
be reven and engine right here? Ye really, I am there.
I'm telling I'm telling you guys, you've been betting it.
I've never gone to a NASCAR race, went to Daga.
I know you guys have been that. We're on pitt
Robe and let me tell you the most overrated experiences

(14:29):
pitt row Okay, coach, like you could have made it
sounded at least a little. Did you change any tires
or no? You can sit there and watch, which was cool?
You know it was annoying. It was louder than do
you wear it, coach? You wear your plus? Yeah, we
had everything. You can't talk to anybody, you can't hear anybody.
Launch's like, hey man, I'm gonna go take a piss,
and I'm like, what do you keep? Grab what I'm

(14:49):
gonna go? And then I come back and he's like,
where'd you go? You just let me here? I'm like,
I told you I was going to piss. Daga was
me I mean we were blessed. We were on in
the pit. Okay, that's cool. I get it. We live
a charmed life. That was cool. I couldn't hear it said.
It wasn't no coach. I didn't listen. I couldn't hear
a thing that this dude said for three hours a day.
Yet here's the problem. Here's the when when the engine start,

(15:14):
can you hear anything? No coach? He went and got nachos,
that's out. Jared spun out of control. One Yeah, I
spelled cheese and pitt Row and that's why he got
a pill because he split out and hit the wall.
It was all my fault. But here's the thing. You
can watch them get their tires changed, but you can't
see the race. If you're down in pitt Row. They
come by for half a seconds over, So you need

(15:35):
to be a guy on the top. Is the wind?
What I'm saying is so it's really I mean, it's
sort of like backstage at the concert. It's not that
cool because you can't see anything, but you get to
see what most people don't and that's but aren't you
there to see the race? Depends? I mean, it just
depends what you want, Hey, Robin's racing. Robin's racing. Harry,

(15:56):
hit the pace car if you ain't first or last, Bubba,
hit the pace car. Do you want me to hit
the pace car? That's right, hit the pace car. Why
would I do that? Because you're hitting everything else? Now,
that's not he said, I want you to go out
there and hit nail the pace car. Hit the pace car. Yeah,
why would I do that? Because then you hit every
damn thing that's been on the track today, and I

(16:17):
want you to be perfect hell of hell movie. So wait,
so the race is over. It's not fun going to
a race like I mean, maybe if you're up in
the state, you did you you went to pitt Row
and then went up. No, we just were in pitt Row,
so they would come by and literally for half a
second you see the cars and then you don't see
him for another two minute. I'm pretty sure we had

(16:39):
a big show car and got in a row. Oh
is that where you guys were? You know that guy
that was racing that car, what's his name? He won
the Indianapolis here's one Daytonata whatever that Michael Michael McDowell.
Michael McDowell wasn't Waltrip. Was it Darryl Waltrip Man, I'm
a fan, boys, I'm a fan of Nascar. You'll enjoy it.

(17:01):
The kids will like it as well. But you gotta
bring them headphones. Headphones, You've got to bring the music
or to the muffle this. Muffle the sound. It's gonna
be way too loud for their ears. Like we went
to my kid. We went to Nashville sc this weekend,
the soccer game MLS and it's no soccer. No, He's like, oh,
it's loud, loud the whole first half. He covered his

(17:22):
damn ears with his hands. And were they blowing the bamboozles.
They were blowing everything, banging drums, shooting off fireworks. But
it wouldn't any louder than pandemic fireworks. Coach, but my god,
use them on vaccine instead of colors across the city
sky and I'll hang up and listen. Are these the
jokes that we've been missing out on? Get? I got

(17:44):
cobwebs on them. I mean, he was such a sissy.
It wasn't even that loud. We're outdoors at a stadium
and it's not even full capacity, and he's covered in
his ears, like oh, so loud. It's so loud. Now
I saw you post from there, so I had to
check this or they ended in a tie, right, So
what's that like? Watching the game in the I was
very exciting, Like, I mean, Nashville fell down two oh

(18:06):
in the first twelve minutes, So would you say they
came back. I wouldn't say it was the greatest comeback
of all time, but it was a good comeback. They
dominated the whole game, I mean just but they just couldn't.
I mean, they put two in, but they hitting crossbars,
hitting it the goal. We're making stop after stop, and
it was just like, it's an exciting game. There's a

(18:27):
lot of fun to watch. And we sat right behind
one of the goals, so it's great. Did they let
you guys go down on the bitch or did you
guys have to stay in the stands on the pitch. No,
we weren't allowed to go down on the pitch. But
you did have good seats. I saw how I had
great seats, great seats right behind the goal. So I
mean we had a chance to get a soccer ball.
Did your wife go, yeah, my wife went. Are you

(18:48):
explaining it to the kids or do they not care. No,
I'm not explaining it. He's two years old. He didn't understand.
He just said to me, But can I tell you
my kid is pretty smart. You can tell us because
first we went we went to buy him a shirt
that day at the store, and he kept saying, I
want a hockey shirt. I want a hockey shirt. I
want a hockey shirt because we went to a hockey
game a couple of weeks ago. Well, we got him

(19:09):
a soccer shirt and once we got it on him,
he didn't want to take it off. Then we're at
the game and he picked up on one of the
chants all by himself. Well, was it you suck? No change?
When they when when when Nashville SC gets a corner kick,
they say NSC clock clop clap, n SC clop clop, clap,
And he just started doing it on his own. You

(19:30):
would say NSC and then clap. He would just clop,
clop clop NFC. No, but he knew what to do,
and he knew to pause. And now you have terrible rhythm,
so going no, no, can't tell you something. He had
better better better rhythm, dot NC NSC NSC And it

(19:53):
was so cool to see him. Just watch the first
half and pick up on that and start doing it
in the second half. Rap, you gotta see my kids
clamp in his hands. No, Eddie, tell me that's not cool.
When you can do something, that's pretty cool. Man. You
go to the game and hope they're gonna be like
enticed and enthralled and love it. And he did. Because
we get done with the game. He didn't want to

(20:14):
take his dirt, his shirt off. He slept in it
or all day yesterday pajamas and he's like, we go
watch soccer. We go watch soccer today. I'm like, no, no,
not today, not today. Man, So hockey with Eddie's gone now.
You know he still likes hockey with Eddie. But my
wife even said last night we're gonna start recording some
hockey games. So when he wants to watch game, you

(20:37):
need to get him to meet Barry Melrose and eleven Am.
He's like, watch friends. The dude just loves Hockey's like,
how's it going, man, Yeah, we'll talk Canucks. We're gonna
talk about all Winnipeg. I'll tell you about it. Barry
Melrose here and hl plaff come back next. He's the
one he loves like pat Riley with hockey. It's like
Jack Jack Daniels, Oh, Tom Miller, dude, Hannah Storms like okay, basketball, yeah,

(21:04):
ball and all that said, Okay, let's go over to
Barry Melrose. Barry Melrose hockey. Nobody's gonna play like a Canucks.
We'll talk to you about that next Gary. We'll come
back to the clubhouse. Barry Melrose, he's gonna like kind
of it's cool, but kind of annoying. And it looks
like he puts down a couple before his He looks, well,

(21:27):
I think it's because you're freezing, You're in the eye,
you're on the ice, you're get kind of cold. Yeah,
and I do. I don't want to bash your hopes
and dreams. But also I don't know how closely tied
are we with Nashville f C s C Soccer Club.
And I will hang up and listen until you can
tell me how closely associated we are with them. I'm
just gonna go ahead and say it. Maybe we're gonna
get in trouble, maybe not. I don't know exactly the

(21:48):
deal we have with them. How you got those tickets,
But I don't think we're soccer is ever gonna be
big here until they build a damn stadium like Austin.
You do understand? Oh it is, yes? Oh where is
it National Fairground? When was somebody going to tell me?
I thought that's where the race the speed It's right
next to the speedway. I wanted a multi purpose. Is

(22:10):
that where the sounds used to play? No, that's what place?
Was a dump? I think it's that same area they
shut down the sound stadium. They found a dead body
in the outfield and I'll hang up and listen. Did
they know they It's been under construction. It was supposed
to be ready for this year, but they got pushed
back from some people trying to fight it, and so
that's why we had to delay it a little bit.
And that's why what's this week Crabb involved. I'm all

(22:31):
about National Investor. I have a little steak in the business.
I believe they need yes, so that I guess that
is the Directually. Yes, the stadium will be opening next
season instead of this season, which it was supposed to do,
but we were delayed because of fighting between two groups.
N FC NO NO in sc N n N. Yeah.

(22:53):
Pretty much. All my friends were at the game on Saturday,
and I was like, damn it, I probably should have
gone to that. Yeah, it was still was socially distanced.
Socially since it's still as much as I'd love to
go sit fifty yards from your family, coach, I'd like,
you can be with your family, you can be with
your group because they don't social distance you and your wife.
But I'm saying if I wanted to go talk to
another group, and it looked like they had everybody, so

(23:14):
you can do that. You can go to another group.
Oh really, yes, and you're telling me the mayoring and
to come down. No, No, I don't think the mayor
was there. Guys. I went to a target the other
day in another county. They don't wear masks. We went
out because we went we went to go buy a
Nationale sc shirt for my son and my wife wanted one,
so we went out to the suburbs or a different

(23:35):
county just to the It's like the wild West up there.
It was wild wild West. It was just like I
was the only one with the mask, and they're looking
at us like we're the weird ones, and we're like, huh.
It's different from what I could tell. It seems like
they haven't been wearing masks for a while. Yeah, Hey,
that fat never caught on in the country. No, I

(23:56):
don't think it did. I don't think it did. A
very different one there. I had the same experience exactly.
I mean, we went to Target and Dicks and they don't,
uh not to segment a whole state. But when I
went to Georgia about two months ago, I went down
with Eric Dodd and he goes, hey, man and just
two heads up, they don't wear masks down here, guys.

(24:16):
I went to the gas station, we went to the
liquor store. You didn't need a mask, you didn't need anything.
There's people just walked around. If you wearing a mask,
they thought you were robbing the place. Then they looked
at us like we were the crazy one. Like they
just like, hey, yo, why are you wearing this mask? Thing?
Like you don't need to wear it? You know, it's okay.
But I mean, if I if they're not requiring it,
I mean I'm like, I guess I don't have to
wear my mask because I mean I was doing it
to protect you, right, Yeah, But I still I just

(24:40):
feel I mean, I left it on, but I was thinking,
like I guess, I meanstance. No one's wearing it. I
guess I don't have to. Yeah, I think you should
wait till your two weeks is up. Yes, I'm just
a few days in. Yeah, so that's why I was.
I was, I was in my two weeks, but I
was still like, no, I mean, I feel like it's
weird for me not to wear it when that's what
the rules are supposed to be. But I don't know.
Then I gotta We're at the game, Okay, at what

(25:02):
age are you too old to yell at the damn
players and the rest? Whatever age you are a year
before that coach, not me, because there ever here, it's
always an old person yelling coach or or young drunk kids.
Because there's a couple of dudes. They were probably in
their fifties, maybe sitting you know, a few whatever, rose
away from me. Hey keeper, keeper, Hey origin, your color

(25:28):
makes you look fat? Tell me you chuckled on that one.
I'm like, that's not funny. It's so stupid, Like if
you're gonna talk over your at least funny. But he's
just yelling stupid. They think they're funny, that's why they're
yelling at yeah, coach, you're preaching sportsmanship in your household.
You don't need the kids. No, no, I don't mind.

(25:49):
You know, trash talking about it's gonna be funny if
you're gonna be in your fifties and you're gonna be
sitting there yelling at the keeper the whole game or whatever,
like was something created with the minor league team? Didn't
we yell at the pictures, which we're not talking about.
That's not the time. That's fine. I want to say
where you were yelling at them, coach or getting mad
at year old dudes? It these dudes yelling at the ref,

(26:15):
Like the ref can't hear you? First of all, are
you effing kidd Are you think you can't here? They
can hear everything. How do you get to this level
and you can't make the right call like that? I'm like, guys,
I went to an Astro's game, like when I was
in college, and there was this treat your trash hand.
Fifty fifty year old is always the old and he's

(26:39):
yelling at my piazza, who's like guy at that point
he think he had dyed his hair blonde, like, and
he's yelling over and over cute. Come over here. It's
like I can clean my ears with your head. That's
kind of funny, Coach, It's not funny, not really. The
louder you say it, the funnier he gets. The God
you did it for thirty minutes straight. Final who were

(27:00):
like shut up, shut up already, Like yeah, that's what
I'm saying. Like, why is it the older you get
you feel like you need to yell more at the players.
I don't know. I mean, if you're there with your
drinking buddies, it is pretty funny. You gotta get your
laugh when you were yelling at the South that this sounds.
I mean, we were literally at the front, right next

(27:22):
to the bullpens, right next to him. The dude could
have reached over and punched raight. But that was the
beauty of it when we were never in by that wall.
And I guess, yes, he's not trying to get kicked
off the team, so I could say essentially whatever I
wanted to to the relief pitcher. Right, we had a
couple of nooner beers, give me a break. That was
fun that I'll never forget that game. What was he

(27:44):
saying no? No, we're saying no, we're not well. I
think I was saying stuff like, I know that's why
he's not in the mate. That's the easy go to.
And you're going to a minor league game, you can
always make fun of him for not being part of
the majors, like that was one of them. You're not
good enough. Uh throw the ball, are let's go, you
want to make the majors. I think I was saying
stuff like that, Like we when I was younger, I

(28:08):
was a teenager, we went to the Austin Ice Bats,
which was it in minor league hockey. I don't even
know if his independent hockey whatever. So we sat right
next to the visitors bench and during warmups, their goalie
is sitting there and he's kind of looking through the
glass watching everybody shoot on the goalie. And my buddy
Aaron says, no, no, you ain't gonna be able to
look the glass. You gotta lean over the bench. So

(28:29):
he put newspaper all up on the glass so he
had to lean over the edge of the bench so
he could see the corner of the ice. And he
tells him, hey, I'm gonna be in your ass all
day long, keeper, I'm gonna be in your ass all
day long. And there's a little crack between the like
the boards and that plexiglass, and so he's just yelling
at him, yelling at him, yelling at him. So then

(28:49):
he reaches in and he gets someone's in hailer that's
sitting there, and he starts squirting it through the little crack.
And then we poke like you can reach your hand
in there, and we knocked all the sticks over onto
the bench. Okay, come on third period. My buddy Aaron
looks at number twenty eight goes, hey, yeah, you I

(29:11):
blaked your mother. Dude. Hey no, no, dude, grabs a
stick and swings it at us over the glass, over
the glass, tries to hit us with the hockey stick.
How did you not get on Sports Center? Well, because
there's no cameras there. It's literally when I were for
the News, I would go covery. They would send me there, like, dude,

(29:32):
just get two minutes. We're probably gonna spend like ten
seconds on it. You know, a couple of guys swinging
sticks trying to get in the net. We don't even
need any goals, just get something. Yes, it was, And
so they ushers come and they kick us out and
they take us outside and they're like, listen, if you guys,
can you know, if you guys continue to act like
this in the future, we're gonna take your season tickets away.
Those weren't even our seats. We just happened to sit
down there. It's five bars. Don't worry about it. We left.

(29:53):
It was huh larious. I have never seen someone get
so mad. He took his hockey stick and flung it
over the glass at us and tried to hit us
punk teenagers, and we thought we were the coolest kids
in the world. Dude, it doesn't get better than that,
I would think. So what I was thinking about earlier
is referee wise, who had who scrutinized the most? The
baseball guys, the NBA guys, the NFL, or because soccer

(30:18):
it's such a judgment thing. With the fly it seems
so damn hard. Baseball it's the balls and strikes that's
a lot. NBA it's five NFL pass interference, roughing the passer.
Basketball basketball with the fouls, I feel like, here's basketball,
it's sort of like NFL. You could call holding on
every play. In the NFL, you could call a foul

(30:39):
on every play in the NBA ever to every shot.
But you can't because then everybody be fouled out. I mean,
and in half a quarter, everybody be foul out and
we'd just be watching the ball bounce in the middle
of the court. But I hope these cats are getting
a decent amount of money for what they do. Why
would you want to be a ref? We looked up
the hockey ref. Yeah, they make like, well, they know

(31:01):
what a skate they skate. That's a talent that's got
to be higher than the other I want, let's look
it up. How much is a major league Uh? I
think that. I think baseball play. Baseball umps get like
a bat. I mean, it's a tough job because you
not only have not only do you have the crowd

(31:22):
yelling at you, but managers yell at you. They kicked
dirt on you like players yell at you. Everyone No
one respects the umpire. Dude we had. There was an
umpire at our literal league games, and his goal was
to make it to the major leagues. Like I'm talking,
he took his job so damn serious. I believe at
the time he was in college and people always said
Adam Hammer, Adam Hamery Hammer Hammer, He's gonna be a

(31:44):
major league guy. He was so dead because he was
so into it. I turn it on the TV the
other day. He's a major Leget stop it, Adam Hambrick. No,
he's an artist. It's uh. He's a country singer. Cut
he tried the fir anything for a little bit. Now
he's a right. That's funny you say that because I
was watching MLS last season and there's this dude the

(32:07):
center referee, and I'm like, man, Adam Hanry, Sorry, I
I look at the guy and I'm like, I sure
doesn't look like the guy he used to play against
in men's league at Zilker Park in Austin, and I
looked him up. Sure enough, that was the dude he
had gone. I guess he was a player. And he
also reft on weekends and boom, now he's revenue MLS
games coach Adam Hamry. Adam Hanry became a full time

(32:31):
Major League Baseball umpire in two thousand seventeen. Is your
boy right here? Yeah? He was don part literallygue games,
but he was so intense. Everybody always said, yeah, he's
gonna be a major league gone, he's really good. He's
great at what he does. I don't see it being
impossible to have that goal and achieve It would be
so hard. But really you think so hard because because
think about it, like I would almost say, what's hard

(32:52):
is to not give into temptation. You're on these road trips.
Coach not necessarily bad. It would be such a lonely
live to be. Oh, you're talking about drugs. I'm talking
about drinking. You're in other cities. I mean it probably
is so easy to go drink and get hung over,
well because the day the next is anything but but

(33:13):
I'm saying you don't necessarily have to get up. I
bet there's a lot of downtime to say, hours you
have to be on when you're umping. The life of
an umpire has to be very lonely, because that's what
it's called up. Yeah, if you're ye, you're umpka. It
has to be so lonely because you're traveling with what
four other guys who are on your crew, and let's

(33:34):
say you don't like two of them, so it's you
and another guy and you don't want to start doing
heroin No coach like like if the three of us
have to travel everywhere together, right, say our jobs, like
we just have to go everywhere. It's a great idea
for the podcast. Yes, guys, I wouldn't take it on
the road. We should do a live podcast from Philly.
I would hate you guys for a little bit, but
I mean I wouldn't hang out with you all the time.

(33:55):
I would just hang on the hotel and watch TV
a lot of Netflix, go have lunch and then. But
after five years of doing it, that's what happened, Muna
start banging chicks. Coach. Come on, why do you think
because people get that happens. Yes, but there's this doesn't
happen to everyone. So Adam Hanbury like whatever. Like my point,

(34:18):
guys is that if you want to be h mlb ump,
it's not impossible. Okay, forget the temptations like craze thing
you get boards to become a heroin attic. Not only that,
if you're intense, like my kids play baseball. The umps
there there look at their watch like is it over yet?
They don't want to be mlb umps. They literally want

(34:40):
their college credit and they want to go home. Is
that what it is? Are they get whatever they get? Guys.
It's just you could just tell they don't want to
do it, but there's so many levels. Adam Hamry there,
I would say, you know what, this guy loves it.
I have no doubt that he's going to go to
the professional level because how many people do you know
want to be professional lumpire. Well, when I was a

(35:01):
kid and i'd ref soccer games and I'd get paid
twenty bucks for a forty five minute game or whatever,
I was like, this is so easy. And you get
certified and you had your coach, you probably get more
money than well. This is when I was twelve, and
I'm and you get your little certification patch and I'm like, dang,
and it you move up levels. I was like, I
could do this. I would ref every weekend, you know

(35:22):
what I mean. I was like, I'm gonna make some
money and I was like that's a terrible idea. So yes,
I grew out of it. But the guy I used
to play soccer against, he's a freaking rev in the
m l AS. That's my point. If you really want
to do it, there's no doubt that you'll be able
to make it the professional level. They're just starting a
lot of people that stick to it, right, That's a
great point, Eddie, and the fact, if you guys are

(35:44):
factual with your three K, you are a kid out there. Listen.
Become a professional umpire because nobody else wants to. The
average big league umpire makes two thousand. The average salary
for an NFL referee is a hundred eighty eight thousand.
That's a living. The highest paid refs are the NBA,
where the average is three hundred and seventy five thousand dollars. See.

(36:06):
I would think NBA is really tough because those guys
there aren't very many of there's not very many of them.
You have to wait for them to die, and you
actually have to run. MLB guys just stand there the
whole time. Yeah, that you can be fat in Major
League Baseball. So the basketball ones have to be all shape,
the soccer ones have to be in shape, and the
hockey guys have to know how to blade and call it.
I would say soccer is the worst man to run
all day long. A lot of hockey though. Hockey, dude,

(36:30):
you your head has to be on a swivel for
three straight hours. And I watched the guy get drilled
by the puck twice the til twice in less than
like the thirty seconds I mean drilled, that's I mean, yeah,
major League baseball has to be the easiest. But squatting
behind home plate over and over again, that's a lot.
You're bending over. You're not squatting. Those dudes don't bend.

(36:51):
They don't squat. They just literally bend over, put their
hands on their thighs and watch over the cat And
you know, a third base on first base up when
you it's your so the the crew comes in for
the weekend and they rotate the homeplate guy, then go
to first and so on and so forth. When it's
your job to be first base or third base. Hump,
you're basically just daydreaming. Like for sure, you're absolutely just

(37:12):
looking at the stands. Those guys are like, God, did
he check? Did he hold a swing? Is there a
guy by second? Yeah? I never see him. He's just
in the middle of the field. Yeah, so he's got
to move a little bit. But the third guy, I
don't want that job, dude. The baseline guys don't do
anything for three hours. They just do the fair and

(37:33):
guess what the lines right underneath your nuts. They also
do is look down. They also do check swing yeah,
so they're kind of busy though a little bit. You
can't daydream coach easily, and they look down over check
swing and he's just like hey. It takes him a
minute to answer because he didn't realize he's the one

(37:55):
that calls for the review, not the coaches. He's like, oh,
let's go to New York. I didn't I didn't see it.
And now with the review, yeah, you can be even
more lazier. I did see another bad call again this weekend,
and I think he was daydreaming now that I think
about it. It was another It was a call at first,
and everyone think about it now the fans are back.
You got Betty Boobs over there, coach, so for sure
they can hit out there. At the beginning of the game,

(38:16):
and started looking at where the hotties where they're close
to him. Usually the hotties are sitting the closest to
the field there with the guys that got money. Usually
you got some pretty attractive girls along the field because
they they're they're sucking the dude's money. I didn't mean
to say sucking, sorry, I mean you're onto something, guys.
So what I'm saying is it's easy to get distracted, coach. No, no, no,

(38:37):
I'm saying, like for the kids listening, all the kids,
after listening to all that, go be an ump coach,
and you're an ump in Texas. He's like, oh man,
I love this Texas weather man. What if I bought
a house here? Think about it all the nice days
it's sunny here. Oh was that pair? Coach? Did he
check his swing? It's a technic. Hey, if you didn't

(39:02):
see it, just go No he doesn't swing mean, I
mean they probably and they probably switched off every time, like,
oh this time he didn't. Next time he did swing,
I mean, and then and then back to you know,
check swings. Should the catcher point like the catcher but
catcher like, I love it. The umps gonna ask you
don't have to point. Well, maybe the things. Oh there's

(39:22):
no way he swung, but the catcher does it. And
then he's like, okay, I'll acknowledge. If I were the
ump and the catcher did that, I would slap his hands.
Stop it. I'm gonna call it. I like it when
the catcher points. I think that is so funny. It
points down like, hey, I don't trust I don't trust
your judgment behind me. I need you to ask the
dude down there to get, you know, approval. But I
did see a bad call where like the runner was

(39:44):
running the first and he was safe, but it was
it was a close one, but I mean close enough
to where you don't need to replay. You saw that
it was safe, and the guy called him out had
to go to the headphones they had. I mean they
had to go to headphones and all that. But even
my kids were like, no, that was safe, Like he
got their way before the ball did. That's weird. And
then for sure, probably the guy was daydreaming because they
had to go to the replay and they're like, yeah,
by a landslide, he was safe. Well, and I mean

(40:06):
with replay now there's demerits and stuff, so you really
do want to have a pretty good record when it
comes to calling plays. We'll couch and then and then
the guy and the announcer is just like, I don't
want to go hard on this hump. His name is
Eric so and so, and he's just had three really
bad calls in the last few days and I don't
want to go hard on him. Here's his name, his
home address, and they show the close up of the dude.

(40:27):
You know, it's like there he is Eric so and so.
You know. I mean, I'm sure it's a tough job
and all, but man, he's had some bad calls in
the last two games. Now I get it. I I
understand because they're gonna but they're gonna miss calls, and
that's what happens in these bang bang situations. I think
replay is good, but it's also bad. Dude, it's too

(40:48):
much scrutiny. Like in college when you're watching NZ double
A tournament college basketball, they're going to the day a
monitor five times and you know, in ten minutes, it's like,
I just like they can't. Cameras are better in football
and basketball and baseball, the cameras still blow because we
are not getting a good angle of home plate. Because
home plate is only a centimeter above above the dirt,

(41:09):
it's very difficult to see if the guy touched that
little specific part of the dirt. Baseball, the replays are
not adequate and up to par as far as I'm concerned.
I just feel like, if we want to get the
call right, why don't we just put sensors on everything. Like,
I don't don't understand the technology is there. You put
a sensor. As soon as the bag is touched, the
sensor goes off and you know, but you don't. So

(41:31):
how does that sensor It tells you when the bag
was touched with the foot the lights right there and
deposit is the ball? Is the ball in the guy's
glove or not put a sensor in the damn glove.
I don't care what about balls and strikes. I'm so
tired of calling a ball six inches off. I don't
like that. I don't care. If to catch your frame

(41:52):
to good he goes oh. With that type of a
framing job, it is tough to not call that strike. No,
you just don't call this right because it didn't go
across the plate. That's a good point. So how do
you not just have a laser area where That's why
I'm agreeing with Eddie. It's a square, right, You're I'm
just a robot. No, not a robot. It's not a robot.
It's just a square that's covered. It's almost like a

(42:12):
mission impossible. You know how they have like they have
laser grids. There could be a laser grid right there
for the for the strike zone. If the ball touches
that grid, it's a strike. Yes, if it misses, it's
a ball. It's like me and my brother, we always
used to argue balls and strikes, so it's never fun
to play in the backyard baseball. Until I invented a

(42:33):
little thing that was the shape of a strike zone.
It was actually a soccer net and we cut it
in half and that was the perfect strike zone. You
didn't just put tape on the wall. No, we probably
should have. Dad wouldn't let us do that with the garage.
But anyways, if it hit the net, it was a strike.
We never argued again for seven years. Why does Major
League Baseball not do that? But more advanced they want
to depend on how keep the integrity of the game,

(42:55):
you know, making an eyeball game. You know, then who's
gonna call him safe? We're out at home? The machine
says what it is, So a machine is gonna call
him outer safe at home? The machine is gonna go poop.
This is which one got first, the glove or the
base the base did he's safe? That's it. Yeah, you
make it. You can make it all electronic that when

(43:15):
he runs the first base, there doesn't even need to
be an ump You just have a red light in
a green light. If every glove has a sensor on it,
when the ball touches the glove, that's it. Which one's first,
the base of the glove. I'm just saying, look, hey,
if people want to keep complaining about that call was right,
that call was wrong, I mean, why not that just
get a rise. We're about to have horse racing. Do
they have umpires out there doing the horses? No, they

(43:36):
have electronic equipment that tells which horse a laser and
they because a horse is crossing a line, a baseball, bat,
a glove, or a foot on a bag and then
same thing. So you're gonna have the computer make sure
that the foot was on the base, the ball is
touching the glove, and the guy hasn't reached, So easily

(43:57):
tell you which one's first. Now, no, no, if the
ball hits the glove first, he's out right. Oh wait,
now we need to go check and see if his
foot was on the bag. The sensor tells you how
many feet are in the bag, one or two. We
have sensors right now driving cars along. What do you
mean it can judge a bag and it's not impossible
you put a sensor on one four sensors on each

(44:17):
side of the base, and it tells you where it's
which one's touched. That's the first baseman's foot. And this
is the runners because sometimes it's a wild player where
the pitcher's covering and he runs and he gets a
toe on top of the bag. So whose foot are
you gonna I mean, there are so many variables. It's
the one I don't get is the football. The censor
in the football across the goal line. That seems like

(44:38):
the easiest solution, the easiest that horse racing technology is
do that for the goal line or a golf ball,
Like we should never lose a golf ball again, Okay,
you know what I mean. Yeah, but but if you
put something in a golf ball, that's gonna mess with
the whole. Now we're changing things. It's gonna change to sit.

(45:00):
I mean, well, coach, if you lose a golf ball,
and there's no question to be lost it or not.
And also what if you hit one in the water, coach,
it's a dollar gadget down the draft. The caddy jumps
in to get it. He has to go get it underneath. Yes,
soccer has goal line like where you can tell of
the ball, whole ball, across the technology. The NFL should
have that for the football. I don't understand how they
can't do it. And they should have that for basketball

(45:23):
and baseball, all of it, all of it, all of it,
all right, all right. Oh, by the way, boys, I
took my kids golfing again. How I took two of
them this time? The two littles. Are they drinking yet? No?
But coach, listen to this. I take into a part three. Right,
it's a learning center. It's a big it's got a
big driving range, it's got a putting green, and it's
got a walkable part Part three nine nine whole course

(45:47):
and coach, the greens are on almost every Part three
you go to. The greens are just trash, like it's
it's just it's not about the putting. It's just about
how good you can get an approach shot on the green.
So I'm mean, it's just not a place that you
go on a Saturday afternoon or a Sunday afternoon to
go play competitive golf with your friends. Like there was

(46:08):
where you go just to kind of practice. Were there
other kids and with their parents? I would say maybe
one more group, but they it was pretty packed. It's
pretty pack, got it? So we roll up. We go
to the first there's a guy and a girl on
a date. Teen off they t off. He's right behind
her trying to help her with her swing. Hey, they
t off. They go to the green. They put they're done.

(46:31):
All right, our turn. Daddy goes first because I'm in
the far away green. I hit my ball. Boom, got
it on the green. All right, boys, let's go you too.
So the boys are getting there, you know. First one
goes up, he tees the ball up. He wants to
get the t right, you know, he gets it. There's
a little practice swing here, a little practice swing there.
And then there are these two guys probably fifties, okay,

(46:55):
fifty years of age around there because you get grouchy
as you get older. They're they're drinking. Uh they got
you know, tall boys, and they're carrying their bags. And
they pull up. They just finished their first nine. I
thought it was only nine. It is that they finished
the nine and they're walking to the tea to one
again too. I guess to do a complete eighteen. And

(47:15):
they sit there and wait for like thirty seconds while
my son goes up and he swings good, contact goes
about seventy yards all right, next one before the next
one hits, he goes assume, man, can we just play through? Please?
Can we just play through? And I'm looking at the
party ahead of us. I'm like, well, let us finish
this whole, because we're I mean we're going we started

(47:38):
when we were supposed to start, the tea time and everything,
I mean the people in front of us, So there's
no point in us letting these guys go. Now, with
the group in front of us start getting getting ahead
and we're behind, you can go through. And then guy
was like, all right, we'll wait. And it's just like, dude,
I'm here with my two kids literally try at a

(48:00):
crappy part three, trying to teach them how to play golf,
and these dudes are piste off, drinking the skip, looking
for the marshal. I mean, they're trying to play real,
real golf on a Saturday afternoon on a crappy part three.
What you should have been like, you guys can't play
Governor's Club a little too price. You can't just play
a regular eighteen course where like I'm not taking my
kids to because when you have kids, how the holes later?

(48:21):
Did you let him play through? After the second? After
the second, I was like, the people in front of
us already already were done with the next hole. So
I'm like, go ahead, you're good. I mean, I got kids.
A group in front of us had a woman. No
you just two guys. I mean what you guys don't
fit in here? Go to your own course. Was there
anybody behind them? Not yet? Not at that point. I mean,

(48:42):
I see both angles, so I let them through. Then
more people started coming by, so we would tee off,
and then by the time we got to our second,
our second shot, more people would come so we just
let them play through, which is fine, I get it,
but I mean it was three hours we are around.
You should have hit him with a I'm gonna get
you guys a gift card to the Big Boy course

(49:02):
next week. Play a real course, guys. You guys want
to play ball, go play a real course. But I'll
tell you what though, my foster son, he had a
legit par a legit par on a part three. That's
I mean, this is the second round ever, so it's
pretty good. And my my son, my seven year old

(49:23):
man he off the t box, solid approach, shot pretty good.
Like he can get he can get on the green
in three almost every time on a part three. But
it's putting. I mean he's putting five, six, seven. It's like,
but if you can put you're gonna be dangerous, dude.
That's exciting. Yeah, so I might have the next forty
years of your life planned out. I am pumped because

(49:44):
these guys. You need to show him that documentary on Netflix.
They've seen it. They like it. Yeah, they like it. Hey,
those guys, you could have done a little bet with
him too, been like, oh, play through, but hey, you
don't make that green. You owe me five. Hey, Hey,
what if I say you give my son, give the
little one, the foster son, give him three strokes, you
beat him. You can play through. You guys are playing
skin my boys. They would have got real serious with

(50:08):
those tall boys. Hey, the pressure is really on and
my sun starts crying. Oh, man'll be terrible. They have
those part threes in Austin. I think I played one
one time. Part three is everywhere, Yeah, but I haven't
played the one here. For what I'm telling you, it's
good practice. But the greens are trash. It's like it's
like putting in your backyard, so those are both more

(50:29):
relaxed anyway. Yeah, that's it's pice. That's why. Like if
you go by yourself and on the middle of a
Wednesday you play three balls on one hole, just a practice.
The whole point the guy in front of you, he's
talking about practice. He's playing driver between the legs and
the skirt up in front of you. He's not playing golf.
He's playing date day with girl. No, no, no, date

(50:53):
day is okay, that's the whole that's fine. Yes, it's
the two guys that come with the tall boys serious.
They got their whole bad. They got drivers in their bags.
This is the part three man. Well, let's be real.
If you're on a date part three, you're hitting in
the woods. You want to take your chick nuts the tree.
You know what I'm saying. You got you hit it
in the woods a lot. I know you know what
I'm saying, Shanka bottom As come help me find it

(51:16):
looks like my ball got went again. Do I need
to bring one of the clubs? No, I'm all good.
Come on. Then you swung by and bought a barbie
from what is happening. Somebody sent me a d M
and they're just like, please stop him, And I'm like,
what are you talking about? What are you talking about?
You want the low down? The mother in law they're
cleaning out through attic. I don't, damn no. But she

(51:37):
gave me about fifteen twenty Barbie dolls. They all can
sell for about thirty to fifty bucks. I threw them
on my Instagram. I sold out, made hand over fist
money in lesson to you sold out. I still got
a Rapunzel. I have a holiday edition, a couple of those.
Uh oh, there's also a toy story Barbie. Other than that,

(51:57):
the Wizard of Oz Dorothy. She sold right away, Rapunzel sold.
How much they should go for it? Do you just
put them all out there for thirty dollars? You look
at you look at what they're worth, and then where
do you put your price? Well, they're not meant. There
are still in the box, so which is nice, but
they're not meant. So I dropped the price of coach
to sell them fast. I'll drop it ten fifteen dollars
and then I say, hey, it's not mint condition. I'm

(52:20):
mailing it today. But I'm saving you money on if
you're gonna go out of eBay and get it. These
people do they want the dollar? Do they just want
to meet you? They're not meet me. I'm shipping them all, Coach.
I haven't sold one. No, no, no, I saw one
where you were a target in the parking lot. You're
gonna be the target parking lot. Well, in person, they
don't sell as well, Coach. It's a rougher crowd. Apparently
people aren't collectors with Barbie dolls and the Walmart parking lot.

(52:42):
So I ditched that idea and I said to my wife,
I go, why don't I just sell them on Instagram?
It was genius. I had d M after d M
and the business is pretty much sold out already. Do
you charge shipping or do you just kind of thirty
for the doll? Thirty for shipping? What? Yeah, thirty dollars
to ship a doll, but the doll for thirty is
a steel These are worth four thirty dollars to ship
a doll. It's that much money to ship. All the

(53:04):
people I go through it is TLC to a T. Boys.
These Barbies are handled with the finest of gloves at
the shipping store. Okay, see if it's that expensive, because
it's as expensive ship, there's no damn way it's thirty
dollars to ship a Barbie coach. No ship a package
to yourself and say open this, dumbass, and see how
much it costs you to open the package you just
sent yourself. Well, all right, I guess there there's no

(53:26):
way that uh a pound. Maybe I don't know. I mean,
I know it's expensive, but I don't know it's thirty
dollars expensive. Well, I mean it's not exactly that, but
I'm saving the money you're rounding up. Come on, it
may maybe dirty. It's around third. At first I was

(53:48):
trying to not ship them to people, and I said
thirty and they all agreed to it. I was like, um, okay,
but they know they're getting a deal. These some of
these are worth like sixty sixty five, but they're not meant.
I'm not a collector, I'm not a dealer. I don't
damn know how much it's worth. Here, you go take
these Barbie dolls that have been in my Trailblazer for
a month and get him off my hands. Beat the street.
I signed up, I picked my guys, I have Anthony

(54:11):
Rindn playing the Tech that's playing the Rangers, and then
Chris Taylor. And if you're doing beat the street guys,
careful if there are double headers, they only play seven
innings and you'll only get a couple of bats. Yes.
Also to when you're live betting a game and you
see that you're trying to pick it over under, just
check the seven nine because then you may see, like
what they're they're only predicting one more run and it's

(54:33):
only the fifth inning. Oh, that game's ending in two
because guess what, there's a new MLB rule A thre
ten dollars on that. And then I'm like, all right,
it's okay, we got four more innings. You only had
to coach. It's funny though, you brought that because I
did the same thing with my wife. I go, yeah, yeah,
I picked this Orioles guy. He's great, mullins, he's been
doing really good. They only played seven damn innings. He
went over to I'm like, I'm so sorry. I went

(54:53):
to get a beer because I come back the game
was over. That's the game over. It's only that's funny.
I got trout and bets today. Oh yeah, see, I
don't like the guys in the recommended six. Oh is
that why I popped up? I don't like that. I
don't that means that they're honest, they're they're hot right now.

(55:14):
But you know what happens to players that are hot,
They miss? Well, this is what I look at. I
like to pick people that at the top of the
lineup because they get more bats. That's it. Okay, that's fine,
But I'm telling you you can close your eyes and
pick anyone have a better chance. I understand you're gonna
have to pick nobody's but to start out, to get
to going, I want to pay two superstars. That's what
I felt like. You go, you're doubling down. Oh yeah,

(55:36):
I have zero, so why wouldn't I double down? So ray, Yeah,
that's true. Start off with two, right do you? How
often do you double down every day up until I
get to ten? Because then that's the safety are ten
to fifteen because your mulligan, you get one mulligan and
if you lose that mulligan, just do a different email address.
So crazy that this is so impossible. It isn't impossible.
It has gotten into the fifties, but and if you're

(55:57):
the highest for the season, you get ten k. And
right now I believe the highest is twenty nine. But
how many people playing? Coach? Uh, there's a hundred thousand people.
That's crazy, dude, but fun but fun. I only got
to get one hit, that's it. And if they walk
four times, it doesn't even count as in a bat
so it doesn't even count against you. Again. Yeah, if

(56:18):
your guy gets hit or he walks and he doesn't
go over one, I mean it just doesn't count as
it bat So yeah, zero for zero. All right, I
have a great Monday. Oh do we want the Katie clip? Well,
we can just do a Wednesday. I mean, he's out
of his mind, but yeah, it's not. That's a deep tease, coach,
that's a two day deep Hey, good news right, just
for you. Mark Long will be back on the podcast.

(56:40):
Coming back. I will dust off my paper of questions
that I had from last time he come. So, are
you just gonna let Ray do the interview? No, I
don't know that's not gonna happen, but I'll let ry
Mark launch here. Um, last time I got in trouble,
didn't let it Ray? Oh no? And then hey, he
got so ray, did you feel more included today? Are
you feeling better? Thank you, guys, thank you. My dad

(57:04):
called me and he's like, dude, right, it really sounded upset,
and I was like, yeah, I know. He was like,
listen who went in there though, and gave you a
hug and said sorry Eddie right? And I pat you
on the back, said sorry about there. You go. Stop
it just a random message from Mitchell Nelson up coach.
Listen to Friday's pod and it's almost unbearable to listen to.

(57:27):
You guys are great, but you bulldozed all over each other.
I got anxiety a little bit. I like it much
more when you're all able to make jokes and added
the discussion. Just want to say you weren't the only
one who felt frustrated listening to it. It was just
a random message I read. Guys. I think at some
point we're gonna have to learn that bringing Pits in

(57:47):
is a lot, So somebody's gonna have to back off.
Pits is awesome. Maybe it'll be me. He's such a
huge talent though, it's very difficult to have four of
us on it, right, So when he comes in, maybe
I don't know, somebody's got to back off. What I'm
working on is a spinoff the Pits podcast, and you

(58:07):
just let him fire away for an hour and then
we'll make money from that. Now okay, wait wait wait wait,
hang up and interesting, So we fund his podcast and
make money off of it, Coach, not a bad idea.
It's called Bubb's Barbecue. I called it the Pitts Podcast.

(58:31):
It'll just be called Kansas City Chiefs Radio, that's what.
That's fine though. I mean a lot of people in
Kansas City. But can you imagine him on Kansas City
Chiefs after you you know, he's gonna talk mostly Kansa
City sports, but when they're not playing, he's gonna go political.
Now what do you guys think about them kneeling Bubb?
I mean, you know he's gonna go political Bubb. Alright,

(58:51):
So it'll last about a week, or he could do
a lawn and garden. He's a very he's very into gardening.
So I had my what has he even his voice?
But I listen, but by I got robbed. I had
my plays lit up like a damn tarmac at an airport,
and a guy drove in on high on meth and
robbed me of all my Christmas lights. Yeah, and did happen? Well,

his yard or seventy trees. How big is his yard?
