Speaker 1 (00:00):
Dude, man, you're right, man, I can't golf, I can't walk.
I mean, I told you guys about the glass on
my foot, and there's I mean, there's something majorly wrong.
Like I am still. I can't put pressure on it.
I am limping like a ninety year old man. I
(00:23):
don't know. It might hurt worse now than it did
when it originally happened and when I got the stitch
in my foot. So there's something wrong. I don't know.
Brandy Martinez, you seem to be the nurse of all nurses.
You saved Callaway's life. You saved Buddy Glass when he
got hit by a car. You bandaged him up. Can
(00:46):
you tell me how long my foot is supposed to hurt?
Because it is so painful, I cannot put any I
mean if I push off that foot, it's like a
sharp pain and I feel like, oh my god, oh
my get queasy. It's terrible.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Man.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
You see me walk and it's it's a sad sight.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
Well, we need to be more respectful on this podcast.
What happened nothing. I'm just saying we need to respect
women on this podcast.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
We do respect women, all right. That's why I gave
Brandy Martinez a shout out.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
So I said that off the cuff, offhand, jokingly about
your foot earlier out there in the hallway at the
water cooler. I didn't know you're shutting it down.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
No, no, I don't want to shut it down. Like
I even tried to do a practice golf swinging and
I can't do it here deal with this remote watch.
I mean, if I stand up once, I have to
shift my weight to my left foot. I can't do it.
I buckle, I can't.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
I can't put the golf club.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
I have two soccer games to night. Don't know how
that's gonna go soccer. You can't make it to the bathroom.
So yes, like I am still in pain. I don't
know what's going on. Man, Like I I limp like
we went yesterday and my watch? Do you mean to
go get the car? And I'm like no, I could
walk to the car and she goes, you're limping real bad,
(02:10):
I said, I understand that people think that I have
like a peg leg or something. I don't know. I
look terrible and it is. It's bad.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
I know you're gonna say people think I'm abusive because
you yelled at her in public.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
No, No, I didn't yell. I was just like, no, I
can walk. She goes, well, you're limping real bad, and
I said, it's okay.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
Do you ever yell in public at each other? No?
Speaker 1 (02:31):
Kids?
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Yes, yes, kids, of course. Boomer and dude were at
the ice cream shop. I literally, man, go yourself, get
in that seat. Hey, hen baby, Henny baby, get get
dump out of the air. Yes, you can yell at kids,
but your wife. The people that yell in public, that's
when you know how bad their relationship.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
Is because behind closed doors, oh boy, you don't want
to see that. It's like my dad. I mean, we
were in Chicago one time Geno Zis Pizza and right
across the street, some guy was yelling at this chicken
hat her up against the wall, and my dad went
and broke it up. He's like, whoa, what do you
think you're doing. You don't need to talk to her
like that, And I mean, this is the mean streets
(03:10):
of Chicago. Probably shouldn't have got involved in that. And
finally an officer showed up and told my dad, never
get involved in a domestic situation.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
Never.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
That is not you. You do not know what's gonna happen.
But my dad, being the hero he was. His kids
still remember it to this day, him walking across that
street and telling him to back off.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
Batter of the Box.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
No, no, no, Batter's Box didn't do it.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
What if everybody it's a Batter's Box here? But would
he remember it?
Speaker 1 (03:36):
Probably? I would assume he did. And I haven't heard
from Batter's Box since the lake. He has not reached out.
Oh yeah, he did say he was doctor Box. Because
he goes, yeah, your foot doesn't look right. I'm like, okay, yeah,
I knew that. He just call me a doctor.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
Did your sister's kids because they were twins? Did they
trump everybody else's kids?
Speaker 1 (03:55):
What do you mean trump them?
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Are they the coolest because they're twins? No?
Speaker 3 (04:00):
Oh that.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
My brother's kid is nine, so he's the oldest. So
he likes to rule the roost. He thinks he's the
coolest kid on the block. Like when we got there
the first night, that Saturday night, and we're all in
the water and we're going, hey, get in the water,
get the wa Are you coming in? He goes, nah,
I don't think I'm gonna come in, man, Like, hold on, hey,
(04:21):
baby Box, you want me to come in the water.
And he's like, yeah, come in and he goes, ah,
baby Box two, you want me to come in the water.
And he's like yeah, come in and he goes, man,
I don't know, baby Box three, you want to swim
with me? And he's like yeah, and he goes, all right,
(04:41):
I guess I'll come in the water. Like he makes
them say yeah, we want to swim with you, and
then he gets out. And then that night he's like, here,
let me show you guys how to cast and he
goes he gets a fishing pole and he has them
all standing there by the lake. He's like you gotta
take it, and he's showing him how to cast a
pole and they are just mesmerized because he's the nine
year old and he's trying to show off. Let me
(05:02):
show you, Let me show you, dude, that nine year
old thinks he and he told me, yeah, I'm probably
gonna be a pro golfer like dang. And he tells
other kids, oh, every fish, Oh, I think that was
a bass. I think that was a bass. We'm almost caught.
So my kids when we get one a bite and
it gets away. My six year Old's like, Dad, I
(05:24):
think that was a bass. He goes it was either
a bass, a white tail bass, or a carp I'm like,
why do you say that?
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Cousin said it, and he goes, well, that's what he said.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
And I'm like, he doesn't know, but that's what I'm saying.
They hear a nine year old say it, they think
it's the gospel.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
Well, cousins too. Are the older ones? Aren't they the coolest?
You think growing up and then you end up finding
out they got, you know, a pill problem, and they're
twenty years older than they should and they're a weather
and they moved him on Tana and they come home
and they're shaking like a leaf and they got glasses on.
You're like, what happened to Andy?
Speaker 1 (05:59):
They got a drink problem. They drink every day. They
just like to get hammered. I mean that's what happens
to the cousins. And so, yes, they think he walks
on water. I mean he sat there and made them
all say, yeah, we want to swim with you. Before
he said all right, I'll get in the water.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
My cousin I was probably still in high school. His
sister dated one of the band members of Kiss. I
want to say, or a rock band, a cool rock
Jean Simmons, it was a younger one. Okay, let's just
say blink one eighty two, got it? Probably not them.
Pete Wentz so her that made her cool. Well, then
the dude cousin he was he was like lispy or not.
(06:38):
It was what's what's up? So he was lispy and
I was in high school and I go, hey, man, yeah,
or I was just got into college maybe, And I said, hey, dude, so,
what what do you do for work? I was fascinated
by him.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
Was, uh, Chicago, I do construction. And I'm like, oh
my gosh, you work on the road. You And he goes,
can't find work right now? There's not a lot of
construction jobs.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
But yeah, I do construction, man, And so then you know,
you get to talk and you learn in life there's
construction everywhere. Why did he not have a construction job?
Speaker 1 (07:08):
How can he not find construction in Chicago? I mean,
I'm pretty sure they're building stuff in Chicago all the time.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
It's a naughty big city. We're down the road fifteen years.
I'm like, Oh, the dude just didn't like to work,
and he just always said he's looking for jobs and construction.
So he was actually probably a do nothing, but I,
because he's a cousin, I put him on a pedestal.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
He thought he was doing a lot.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
There's not a lot of jobs in Chicago for construction.
Oh gosh. Crazy. Years later you learn they're building a
new skyscraper every week. No jobs.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
Yeah, it's strange how that happens. It's just a weird thing,
like cousins. And what's weird about cousins. And I thought
about this while we were at the lake. Is when
your kids seeing your cousins is the coolest, like adventure,
Like it is so fun to get together with your cousins.
But then when you reach probably high school, you pretty
much stopped talking to your cousins.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Talking, but you still think they're really cool.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
And then you never see them like.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
Post college, where you think they're not cool and you
realize they're losers. But even in high school, dude, Yeah, yeah,
so I was just I was just driving around last night.
Yeah I was weird, smoking and stuff. Yeah, yeah, construction
thought he was so cool in high school.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
Me I look at it and I'm like, my cousins
who do I talk to? Out of my cousins. I
talked to cousin Andrew. I talked to Kevin in Atlanta,
and every once in a while I'll text Michelle, who
lives in Morton, Illinois. That is pretty much it. I
had a cousin movie. My cousin Jessica, who is Andrew's sister.
I taught to her once in a blue moon, like
(08:42):
here's the thing. She lives in Austin, and she texted
us the other day like happy anniversary, when it was
my wife and I anniversary. We text back and forth.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
It's cool.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
She came to visit at the lake and oh my god,
she's six months pregnant.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
Happy Annie.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
And I'm like, uh, hello, can we get a like hey,
just so you know, we're having another baby? She goes, oh,
I thought you knew. That's how little you talked to
your cousins, is that she is six months pregnant and
you had no idea. She didn't even tell us, didn't
even let us know. So that tells you how much
I talked to my cousins. It's like the summer after
(09:16):
high school. It was ninety nine, nineteen ninety nine.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
That is see you later, kid, hope it's as magical
as the summer of sixty nine.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
We were on a road trip from Austin, Texas. We
drove to Houston, saw the Astros play they.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
Had Was I with you?
Speaker 1 (09:32):
No, it was nineteen ninety nine. I didn't know you,
and chess Day was with me.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Chess dude, he's the usual suspect you. Was it the
pool in his bikini?
Speaker 1 (09:42):
Yep, chess Day's dad. No teeth, Keith and we did
a They did run the bases after the game, so
we got to run the bases. Then we drove to
Arlington the next day watch the Rangers, and the next
day we drove to Saint Louis and watched the Cardinals.
The next day we drove to sen Cincinnati to see
the Cincinnati Reds. We watched them, then we drove to
(10:04):
Chicago and watched the Chicago Cubs. And while I was there,
I was like, oh, Aunt Doug and or Aunt Linda
and uncle Doug live right down the road from Grandma.
We might as well I'll drive over there and see them.
But they were on my dad's side, so they weren't related.
And I go in, I'm like, oh, good to see Doug.
Good to see you, Linda.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
How's it going, Dougger?
Speaker 1 (10:25):
And I'm my am I and I have a cousin, VICKI,
who's the exact same age is me. So she graduated
high school in ninety nine. Also, so I show up
at their house and this tells you how much you
don't talk to your cousins once you're in high school.
And I'm at their house in about forty five minutes later,
I'm like, so is Vicky at work? Because she worked
at the Denny. She was a hostess right down the road.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
She went to college for them.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
I know this was right after high school, oh, summer
before at college. And I was like, oh, so is
Vicky working today?
Speaker 2 (10:55):
Yeah, ra a minor in hospitality.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
And they said Vicky moved England.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
I thought you're gonna say died.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
I'm like, oh, oh, okay, Well that tells me how
much I'm involved and get told about my cousins. That's
what I mean. When you're a kid, it revolves around cousins.
When you get older, you don't talk to your cousins.
I mean there's one time my cousins from Atlanta, Vic
Kevin and then sister Lynn who's much older, so we
didn't really know her, but she was always grown up.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
When you're throwing a lot of names out there, I'm
not bleeping them. I know.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
I don't care. And they gave us Atlanta Brave shirts
when we were kids, go Bravos, and so we had
school pictures, right, and so what did we wear because
our cousins gave them to us.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
They were the coolest shirts. I thought you were a
Cubs fan.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
I was, but my cousin gave me the shirt. So
I wore the Atlanta's shirt. It was like a navyish
blue lightish blue, and it said Atlanta across the front.
Wore those in the school pictures. And we show up
there to the house, their house, to show them the pictures,
like in Atlanta, like a year later, I don't know,
and we're like, oh my gosh, look what we wore.
(12:04):
And we're thinking they're gonna wear the shirts we gave them.
They had shirt and ties on in they're pictures. It's like, oh,
I guess we're not as cool to you as you
are to us.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
It's an age thing though. The older ones are always
the cooler ones.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
Well, Kevin was younger than me. Yeah, Vic was older
than me. He was he was batter's boxes age. But yeah,
I don't know how we got on this cousin talk.
But yeah, that's where we're at now.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
It's good Cauz. I was gonna say, those stadiums you
all visited, the only one that still exists as rigally.
Every other one's a new one. Cincinnati was a dome.
Now it's outdoors American Great American Minute made whatever it's
called Enron Now it used to be a dome. Yeah,
it used to be the astronaut Saint Louis. I believe
it's right next to it. They still kind of.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
Call it whatever they cash stadium.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
It's probably a new stadium though I think it's still
called Bush it is, but it's a new for sure.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
Yeah, it's new. It's definitely new. Riverfront is where we
went to Cincinnati. They have the new one now.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
We went to Chicago that's really still there. Yeah, and
then we went to Milwaukee and they were building the
new one, and that's when the crane fell on the workers.
Whoa the crane was in this like toppled over in
the middle of the stadium.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
That could have been Cuzzo. Yeah, he was in construction,
but it couldn't find a job.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
There's never any work man. It's tough construction. They're not
building in America. We're actually losing the population in India.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
Oh, Cauz. Couz said it. He said it like fish
or trout and he Couz said that there's no construction jobs.
Who told you that? Man? Cuzzo? Wow? You know how
people go around and day to day? Who did you
hear that from? Cuzzo? He told me that the other day.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
Hey man, we almost got a fish. What was it?
It's either a bass or a white tail bass. What
makes you think that? That's what he said? That's what
Coz said.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
Cuzzo said it.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
Cauz doesn't know.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
I mean the fact if I could have been there
in that moment where you go, how do you know
what kind of fishes is?
Speaker 1 (13:54):
Cauz said it.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
Cauz is nine years old and doesn't even know which
end is up or.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
Were He doesn't know was left from his right, but
he knows what kind of fish were catching. I mean, wow,
he And what's funny.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
Because woke up this morning and ate fruit loops for breakfast,
and you think he knows the difference between fish.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
I literally have no idea how he became so obsessed
with bass, Like, I don't know where he got because
we were using worms. The bass don't want a worm.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
Probably because it has the word ass in it.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
Oh, that could be it, but I mean everything was
Oh man, I almost caught a bass or that was
a bass. I'm sure that that was the one that
got a white that was probably a bass. And I
don't think we saw one bass the entire time. I
don't think we had one. I mean, why would we
get me catching a bass?
Speaker 2 (14:39):
So funny?
Speaker 1 (14:40):
But he was obsessed with bass, and I don't I
have no idea why. So then, in turn, my kids
became obsessed with every fish that got away was a
bass or a white tail bass.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
You look at your dad, You're like that, seriously, are
these are they right? Or they look like catfish?
Speaker 1 (14:55):
I literally asked my dad, was like, did we really
almost catch a bass?
Speaker 2 (15:00):
Because Cuzzo said it.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
Cuzo said it, I started believing we were fishing for
you and your dad are like, are they really bass?
This whole time we thought they were catfish away their baths.
Its hilarious, but yeah, we better start the show man.
We have that though, No, I don't think we have.
And then we gotta go down to Miami. Dude, people
are waiting to hear about Miami. Ben Beneath Omi, Ama.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
Hey man, we gotta get these stanchions up.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
Man.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
I can't wait. I've been thinking about it. I mean,
stanching guys back. What else happened in Miami after.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
Eaching guy has to be the last story.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
I tell Okay, I forgot what else you had from Miami,
but I can't wait to hear.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
Tom Brady stanching guy five thousand dollars overcharge, that's right,
and the other one probably sucks.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
So no, no, none of them suck. Oh there is
no such thing as suck when you talk about a
vacation story.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Well, I had a couple of notes on my phone,
but my phone is now live on YouTube. I got
him in the dome.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
Do you need to go and get your phone?
Speaker 2 (16:00):
It's domed.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
All right, let's start the show.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
We're gonna do it live. We are the one two too,
so loser? What up? Everybody?
Speaker 1 (16:11):
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 2 (16:19):
Y'all, it says, and I'm from the North. I'm an
alpha male. I moved to Nashville with Baser my wife.
We have two point two acres north of town. The
price and property value is through the roof right now.
It's probably doubled or tripled in value in the last
ten years. Cornfields everywhere. It was at one point two
point three acres. It's moved to two point two and
it's beautiful in the country. I'm losing my music bed here.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
Baser works from home. I added that two kids at
Vanderbilt yep, two point two. Justin checks on him in
electrophysiology every day. He should be anyways, Justin let me
know already. Man.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
Man, we're gonna take a break, but when we come back,
we'll be live from Miami South. We'll be right back.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
Yeah. If we forget a story, just hit us up
on the Facebook. Since you guys don't post anything else,
they'll give you guys something to talk about.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
I mean, some people post, they post some random stuff.
I don't know what they're posting, but they did post
about how there my vacation stressed them out, about how
hearing all those stories just is very stressful.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
So let me get this one out of the way,
because you're gonna say it's stupid.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
No, no, no, story is stupid Tom Brady.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
So the pool boy told me that there was a
sister Low's in Costa Rica, Middle America, somewhere Central America.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
Wall, wait, say that again.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
The hotel is called Low's, So.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
They have a different hotel Low's in Costa Rica.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
Or it's a sister one with a different name. You'll
never be able to look it up.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
Got it?
Speaker 2 (17:53):
And he said one of the pool boys there told
him that Tom Brady was at that Low's.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
What was he doing in Costa Rica? There's vacation in.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
I don't know if it was Costa Rica, it was
centially it might have been Honduras.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
Okay or El Salvador, but that was it. So what
you're telling me is that the pool boys at each
hotel talk to each other.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
Yes, because there's a chat and so they're able to
stay in touch.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
How do they Did he come to train in the
US to learn to be a pool boy and then
he goes back to that hotel? Or did he used
to work at the one in Miami? And then since
it's a sister hotel and you want to explore the world.
He transferred to another location because I in the end
of high school, I worked at Sam's Club sixty four
or fifty three in Austin, and then when I was
(18:41):
going to college in San Antonio, I was able to
transfer to a sister store and be at sixty four sixteen.
So is that how that works with the pool boys.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
I don't know he was. I believe he was special
needs the one you were talking to. Yeah, but he
is really in tune on people, boom inside info on
this Tom Brady Central America, so he's able to have
communication with people. But then he wouldn't leave. So I
got all kinds of stories from him. But these are
the ones I brought to the sports podcast.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
So you got that a quarterback, college quarterback, Top ten team,
a lister was getting hammered under age from this pool
boy m hm, and that Tom Brady was currently at
their sister hotel in a different country.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
Also got he goes.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
Did he have to wear disguise?
Speaker 2 (19:31):
That's what I was gonna get to. But the pool boy,
I believe he also knows about the podcast, or it
said in our folio that I was a sports podcast host,
because he goes, you know a sports podcast, you're a
sports podcast And then he told me this stuff. That's
the only reason he told me it. So he's a
fan of the show.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
You didn't tell me that. There is never a story
that sucks if it ends with they're a fan of
the podcast. Never.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
But about Tom Brady. He goes that his sister hotel
in Central America. Pool boyfriend told him that Tom Brady
was wearing disguise. He'll wear long hair and a mustache
so that nobody knows who he is really. Yeah, so
that he can go by the pool and just relax.
He's still tall and you probably know the face. But
(20:21):
he said, yeah, he was in full disguise. His buddy
told him, that's weird.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
Man.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
I'm gonna got a drink, and I took him at
face value. I'm not gonna question him on that.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
How do you see what I'm drinking from? TB twelve, Yeah,
water bottle TB twelve.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
That was it. That's the story. So, guys, if you're
looking for the Tom Brady we all remember from the
Roast or the NFL, he wears the disguise if he's
on vacation.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
You know why he has to wear a disguise on vacation.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
I don't know. The pool boy didn't tell me.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
No, I'm gonna tell you why, Cause it's hard. Hard
to go out on vacation when you're Tom Brady. It's hard,
hard to do anything without people mobbing you. It's hard
to go to Costa Rica and we have a peaceful vacation.
So I wear a disguise because it's hard. Ea, it's
hard being so famous. Now, that's why he wears a disguise.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
That was good man. The I'm gonna need the cry
music for this one. The five thousand dollars overcharge? Oh no,
So we went to this hotel. I'll just come out
and say for a whole week though we're there six
seven days, twenty five hundred dollars. Whoa right? But that no,
but right? That was the heart of the that's it.
(21:34):
That's your vacation.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
That's because you're not going anywhere else.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
Correct. So we wanted a place, now.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
How expensive where you're playing tickets down to Miami.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
Free what I'm a partner pass or whatever with who
my wife? We do the Southwest credit card, so you
got free flights. Yeah, she had built up points mine
and I'm a partner pass whatever it's called.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
Maybe I need to look into that. It's that damn
thing that Bones used to do, companion.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
Companion pass, that's what I am.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
So she uses the credit card and she gets all
this stuff racked up and there's no blackout dates, and
then she has a companion pass because she spends so
much money on the credit card that you fly for free.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
Yeah, I fly. I could fly every weekend if I
want to for free.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
Huh, that's legit.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
Yeah, I need to take more flights. So we go
there for free, but twenty five hundred dollars, which was good.
And then she also worked in some other deals. The
reason we were fine with that twenty five hundred breakfast
one hundred and fifty every day.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
Oh you got credit for one hundred fifty dollars a
breakfast every day.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
These fools are at breakfast at this hotel. It was
a high end hotel, is what I'm saying. And they're
paying one hundred and fifty dollars for breakfast and that's nice.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
That's a great deal. So that does she get that
deal by calling them or does she find that online
or does she have did someone know somebody.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
She got founded on tic Tac and it was a
travel agent. And the travel agent goes, I can guarantee
you with this twenty five hundred dollars charge and get
a penthouse and you're gonna get so they can't. So
here's the deal. They can say. It's like ocean front
means you're on the side of the ocean. Love that
ocean view does not mean it. You could be facing
(23:12):
a warehouse, but you can see just a corner of
the ocean.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
I understand what you're saying.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
So we saw two sides of this hotel. One side
faces a warehouse, the other side is beautiful. You see
the pool, you see the ocean, you see Miami, and
the lady goes, I guarantee you get the good side.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
So my question is, so she sees her on tic
Tac and she sends her a message and says, hey,
we want to do what you're saying.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
And you guys, just dmbaser. She'll hook it up. I
believe the travel agent gets kickbacks. I have no idea
how any of it works.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
Yeah, I'm not sure what it has to because I'm
not sure how a travel agent makes money. And are
there are a lot of travel agents still around with Google.
I'm not sure, but I will say that our room
had lake front view.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
Like front for sure. Then it was the front of
the lake.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
Like we we look out the know we saw the
lake lakefront. Yeah, we were lake front.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
You were guaranteed a view of the lake. But the
travel agent was correct. All that was hooked up. Travel
also hooks us up with one hundred dollars credit every
single day for so this why we were willing to
pay that big amount. We could use one hundred dollars
at anything restaurants, bars, drinking, breakfast, coffee.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
Now, correct me if I'm wrong. When you're at this hotel,
do they have like the sand like you walk out
and you can be in the sand. Yes, So do
they have people that will serve you drinks on the beach?
Speaker 2 (24:38):
Correct?
Speaker 1 (24:39):
My gosh, And I learned this is what I'm talking.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
Well, I felt bad about that. I go to the
beach I didn't and I go, oh, we got it
was a beach bar. And I say can I get
a drink? And they go YEA, yeah, we'll get it. Hey, Jose, drink.
This guy runs it from the bar sprints it to
the hut. I thought it the hut they had the drinks.
I just walked past the bar. I could have grabbed
it there instead of made homiees printed a quarter freaking
(25:03):
forty yard dash and brought it to me.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
So you made Jose work double hard. And it's hard
to run on the sand if you guys have never
run in sand. Whoa, and trying to carry a drink,
let me guess whitelaw it was. Oh, I'm gonna tell
you what I like to drink on the beach. And
this may you know, ruin my image or whatever, But
a nice Pina colada on the beach. Oh my gosh.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
Oh don't worry. We ordered that. But then the servers
they all try to upsell, and they're all a bunch
of scam artists. Gets goes, hey, baser, do you want
a topper? Oh, yes, miss miss Bidwell, I'll take Yes,
I'm miss Bedwell, I'll take a topper. Do you want
two toppers on it?
Speaker 1 (25:40):
Whoa?
Speaker 2 (25:41):
This guy brings out it looked like brown soup with
one little drop of a pina colada, and he goes,
here's your two toppers pina colada, and I go baser.
He was just trying to get the biggest charge from you.
And this is the most disgusting drink.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
Yeah, the topper is great and everything. It sounds good,
but it just dilutes it and you don't really get
the pina colada taste. And I'm not saying you can.
You have to sit there and have a bunch of
penia coladas, like ten of them, but one pina colada
with you know why you're sitting on the beach. There's
something about that. I mean, call me a itch if
(26:17):
you want to, but don't tell me. Don't knock a
penia colada on the beach or a penia klada pool
side every once in a while. Oh my gosh, come on, guys,
I'm with you. They're fantastic.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
So we did that. I don't want to distract you.
But this hotel was the hotel that the president vice
president CEO of Liberty went and got a pool boy
and he cut this is the pool boy, not that
pool boy, but this is the hotel. So when we
were at the hotel where the cuck holding was going on,
do you watching the pool boy Ramrod his wife.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
Do you think that pool boy thought that he was
gonna get to cuck hold your wife.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
Well, is that.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
Why he was being so nice to you? He pegged
you for a cocker.
Speaker 2 (27:01):
This pool boy was all about his job because he
was on the spectrum.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
So was that other pool boy. He was all about
his job, right.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
But this guy was obsessed with me. Once I started
talking to him, he gave me story after story after story.
I'm good on the big show for a year of
stories that I got from this guy. Okay, so he
was more than the average person. Average person, Hey, how
you doing by? Yeah, thanks for buying the towel and drink.
See I'll never see you again later. This guy super
served me. Absolutely loved him. Don't think he was the
(27:29):
pool boy that was part of the cuck holding.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
Okay, so did you spend more time at the pool
or the beach?
Speaker 2 (27:34):
Pool? Beach sand was too thick. There was some storm
going up to the Carolinas, so it was all roughed up.
And it's not It wasn't walkable. The times I've been
to South Beach before you could walk the beach. This
one it was like quicksand dude, my foot would go
half in, half a foot in, so you'd be exhausted.
I thought I was training for like some try, like
some tough mutter. I'm just trying to go to the
(27:55):
beach and have a drink. Immediately went back to the pool.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
That's tough.
Speaker 2 (27:59):
Back to the story. So the five thousand dollars overcharge
this hotel that is not in part immediate partnership with
the travel agent, so that that twenty five hundred dollars charge.
They go, Hey, so for your room and stuff, We've
put another charge on your credit card for twenty five
hundred dollars.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
Wait.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
Why, it's just how they do business, we said. Okay, okay,
keep in mind the limit on the credit card is
five thousand dollars. All right, I don't like that.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
I don't like that.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
Twenty five hundred dollars. We go to breakfast. Uh, here's
your bill for breakfast for you two, and then you
can include twenty percent is already on there. You can
also include additional tip. Oh, of course we'll additionally tip bay.
We already got the one fifty for free. Of course,
I'll give him thirty dollars. Thank you. Handing back the receipt,
Baser gets on the credit card. She goes, they just
(28:50):
charged our credit card for three hundred dollars, and I go,
excuse me, We're told to one hundred fifty dollars credit
They go, we always, yeah, it's free. Don't worry, you're
not paying for it. But it does hit your credit card.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
No, what why?
Speaker 2 (29:04):
What do you mean?
Speaker 1 (29:04):
It hits your credit card and then it comes off,
and then it comes off. Just don't hit it. Let's
let's not hit my credit card.
Speaker 2 (29:10):
Then, and they get, don't worry, sir, you're not paying
for it.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
I'm paying for it somewhere.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
Don't to worry. I stole that line from another day.
We're walking past another table. The lady goes, sir, it's
it's gonna say that, but you're not paying for it,
and he goes, I'm paid for it somewhere. Me and
Vaser both fell out dial loud.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
It's a good line. I like that line. I kind
of enjoy that line.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
So every breakfast we get this one hundred and fifty
dollars charge. So now you see where we're climbing our
way to five thousand dollars overcharge. This is not good, right,
And so then we go to the bar. Hey, let's
get some salad. Let's get some case of dias and
some drinks. Remember, we got one hundred dollar credit. Do
it all right, sir? Uh, we'll just put it on
(30:01):
the room. But we got one hundred dollar credit. Goes Oh, absolutely,
you'll be all set. Boom baser an alert. You have
been charged two hundred dollars. Whoa whoa, whoa whoa whoa. Uh, sir, sir,
we have one hundred dollars complimentary credit that they said,
why did we get charged on our credit card? Oh,
you're not paying for it. It's just gonna say that,
and then when you leave.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
It'll fall what what dude, We're freaking out.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
We're loosing our minds. We've been there a day and
they've hit our credit card for over three thousand dollars.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
Yeah, I'd be like, no, no, no, I don't want it
to hit my credit card because you're starting to stress
me out. You're ruining my vacation because I think I'm
having all this extra money on it, and then once
I leave, you're just hoping that it goes off. What
if it stays on? Then I got to call you
and get on the phone. This is not good. So
we go to think about moving hotels.
Speaker 2 (30:51):
No, this was the spot. Okay, So we'll go to
breakfast every day, and they hit us for the one
hundred and fifty dollars with the tip because it twenty
percent included, and then you do your own ten.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
You don't have to do anymore.
Speaker 2 (31:01):
But we felt bad because we didn't know what the
workers were getting.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
They're getting twenty percent. That's what they're getting.
Speaker 2 (31:07):
You don't do.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
You don't have to do an additional right.
Speaker 2 (31:09):
Have you met my wife?
Speaker 1 (31:10):
I understand you're trying to I was feeding.
Speaker 2 (31:12):
The birds because she was worried that they weren't getting
enough food, so she was smuggling them crackers and stuff
from the one hundred and fifty dollars buffet so that
they were fed.
Speaker 1 (31:20):
Well, I understand, you'd think you're the real housewives of
Miami and you need to do all this and flaunt
and everything because you're at this nice hotel that you
found on tic Tac pay. You know, But once it
says twenty percent, you stop.
Speaker 2 (31:32):
You can stop, and so do all the math. One
hundred and fifty every single day, and then we go
to the bar and we learned that they hit you
for two hundred. They round up and they still hit
your card even though it's complimentary.
Speaker 1 (31:46):
I don't round up well.
Speaker 2 (31:48):
They no, No, They've rounded up to full numbers. And
we said, well, why are these exact hole numbers? Our
bill was one hundred and sixty nine dollars, Why does
it say two hundred. We just make sure that it's
all covered and then that'll fall off at the end
of your trip. If I could have told you the
amount of times I heard the phrase it'll fall off,
you know it was about to fall off. Mike is
about to fall off because I could got no more money. Hey,
(32:12):
if you say something's gonna.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
Fall off and the next thing's gonna fall off.
Speaker 2 (32:16):
Is your sucking head, because I'm gonna knock you out.
Speaker 1 (32:19):
Jose Hey, mister Bidwell, would you like a drink? No,
I wouldn't not a drink because I don't have any money.
I'm gonna fall It's gonna fall off your tray if
you bring it to me, because I'm gonna knock it off.
Speaker 2 (32:32):
And some is expensive there, so you get a bucket
a high nooners. There's a hundred bucks. Oh my Baser
salad forty dollars, oh Man coffee.
Speaker 1 (32:41):
I didn't realize buying me was so expensive.
Speaker 2 (32:43):
It's absurdly expensive. Coffee at the coffee shop, two iced
coffees twenty bucks.
Speaker 1 (32:50):
I don't know about that. I have no idea how
expensive coffee is, but that just sounds insane.
Speaker 2 (32:54):
And our dumbest purchase. That also helped get it closer
to that.
Speaker 1 (32:58):
You bought a shirt for your cat.
Speaker 2 (33:00):
No baser, goes hey, So but there you go. So
those are the amounts, knock gonna they're overcharging. It's all
gonna fall off eventually. So this car just getting hit.
We're getting closer and closer to five thousand. Okay, day two,
it's day three. You know we're doing those amounts. Basic
goes hey, let's go. Let's we've snuck onto the plane
forty airplane bottles because wonderful, we knew it was gonna
(33:22):
be free. We knew it was gonna be the airplane
bottles are gonna be free drinks. We're gonna be expensive,
so we sneak them on to our carry ons. We
read you can bring a leader bag of any air
airplane bottles you want, as long as it fits in
a leader bag. Wonderful in our carry on. Knuck it
on went into the airport bathroom, poured it in the gatorade,
drink on the plane for free.
Speaker 1 (33:40):
That's what you do, and that's smart. And don't bust
it out on the plane and pour it on the
plane like Johan did on your bachelor party. And I understand. Listen,
here's the cool part. Here's the coolest part. I missed
the days of when you could bring your own bottles
on the airplane. That was so fantastic. I miss those days.
But it's smart to still bring them. You just can't.
(34:02):
You gotta pour them in the airport when you're in
the bathroom, just poorting your gatorady to your coke. It's
so simple before you get on the plane.
Speaker 2 (34:08):
That story was brought up with Johan. I go, well,
how was he busted? And we're not and Baser goes
cause his dumb ass pulled him out and they fell
out of his bag and he was gonna drink him
on the plane. Yes, you just can't do that. So well,
my music stopped. What the hell is still a crime
that's going on? And we're getting we're getting into whatever
(34:30):
three four thousand dollars amount, still fine, and we go
remember it's gonna all take care of itself to fall off.
It's gonna fall off. And so I go down to
the bar. She says, hey, get some glasses. We can
do these airplane bottles and stuff up in the room.
I go, genius. So I go down there. I go,
let me get your cheapest beer. Cheapest beer. I don't care.
I just need the glasses up there for my wife.
Oh yeah, I no problem. This is one of those
(34:51):
trendy bars where the bartender dresses like she's from nineteen sixty, like.
Speaker 1 (34:55):
Oh real cool, like a Hopscotch or not is a prohibition?
Speaker 2 (34:59):
Yeah, there you go, and she goes, that'll be thirty
eight dollars. It was thirty eight dollars for two Sam
Adams pints. Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (35:09):
At that point I'd have been like, ah, I'm good
on the beers, man. I think I'm gonna go in
pass and I think I'd just gone to the gas
station across the street and got little coke cups.
Speaker 2 (35:19):
These prices were off the charts.
Speaker 1 (35:22):
It sounds like Las Vegas, man, if I'm being honest
with you, those are the prices of Las Vegas.
Speaker 2 (35:26):
It is. It was very comparable. And so so we
do that and we're aware now that everything's just hitting
our credit card. She's getting little beeps boop, you just
had a four hundred dollars charge. Bopp. Remember we had
paid for the trip before we went. Everything had been
covered the months before we got there. But we are
at the most bougie hotel in all Miami. So were
(35:49):
the pool days amazing? Yes? Did we get weighted on
hand and foot? Yes, you had towels, you had umbrellas
that'd bring you whatever you wanted. I would be sitting
in my chair, the guy would get mad at me,
go don't ever go to the bar, and they go,
excuse me, I was just over there in that area.
Soone got a beer. He's like, don't ever go to
the bar. Your job is to not leave the pool
or the seat. My job is to serve you. I
like that.
Speaker 1 (36:10):
You know what's the difference between my vacation yours? You
want to know when my credit card was getting hit?
Never do, because we just sat there at the lake.
There was no credit card. There's no credit card machines there,
there was no one there to wait on me hand
and foot.
Speaker 2 (36:23):
But nothing had to fall off the bag. People, they go,
why did you take your bags up to your room.
We have people hired to take your bags up there
for you. I said, I'm sorry, I didn't know. Like
the bell hop like takes your bags.
Speaker 1 (36:37):
I don't use the bell hop because they want a
tip the bell up? Now, can I help you with
your bags?
Speaker 2 (36:41):
Hurt?
Speaker 1 (36:41):
No, I'm good, don't worry everywhere I go. No, I'm good.
I am able enough to wheel my bag to the
elevator and bring it up to the room. No need
for you to do it.
Speaker 2 (36:50):
All right, So Baser gets it, does all the math.
We got to take a commercial.
Speaker 1 (36:54):
Well are you is this done with the five thousand?
Speaker 2 (36:56):
No? No, we're getting to the grand finale.
Speaker 1 (36:58):
We'll take a break.
Speaker 2 (37:03):
And so she does the math, and she goes, hey,
we've been hit for like four thousand dollars our limits
about we've been hit for it was I believe forty
four hundred and so I go, hey, there's a restaurant.
It's like this Rows restaurant. I go, this will be
a perfect ending to the trip.
Speaker 1 (37:19):
Dude, this was your other story. You were going to
rate the restaurant. This is the the invention of the
rows to spaghetti sauce that you see in all the
grocery stores across America.
Speaker 2 (37:28):
And so I go, hey, this is a restaurant. Let's
just go there. It's apart from the hotel. I said,
we can go rocket there and we'll be totally fine
that way. They're not going to include it in this
huge old thing that we're just getting hammered with. And
so I go to rows restaurant. We have it. It's
been the invention of the rouse sauce that's on every
pizza in America. It's super popular. And we go to
(37:49):
this spot.
Speaker 1 (37:50):
How's it smell?
Speaker 2 (37:51):
Smell this Italian amazing? We went had the earliest appointment.
We were the first people there. The guy is just
in our face. Hello.
Speaker 3 (37:58):
Yes, our rest trump was invented in nineteen seventy two.
We were the first ever sauce ever to touch in
American's lips.
Speaker 2 (38:04):
Sorry, would you like it to touch you tonight?
Speaker 1 (38:06):
I don't know, man, What are you gonna put in
my mouth? All over us?
Speaker 2 (38:11):
All over us here?
Speaker 1 (38:12):
We are famous for our sauce here at this hotel,
but we're also famous for the pool boy hooking up
with the Liberty President's wife. Would you like we provide
that service also?
Speaker 2 (38:20):
Are you interested? In Cuckholding. There was crack corn salad,
we had cheesecake. We had the main thing with the
sauce was the rigatona chicken that has the Barbisan chicken parmesan.
Speaker 1 (38:32):
Got it.
Speaker 2 (38:33):
Baser gets some shrimp that's spicy. It was amazing. That
was good. And then the chicken parm big massive got it.
So that's the thing that this sauce boom, that's what
you're gonna want. Yeah, it was most spensive meal I've
ever had my life because they had this rouse sauce
that's special. It was like four hundred. Uh. The chicken parmesan.
(38:53):
I've gotten similar flavors at Fizzoli's. Oh it was not
even close to work. That had no idea the history
of this restaurant, how it got off of its feet
and all that wasn't nothing special. I will say Baser
shrimp was off the chain good. It was like that
uh shrimp cocktail that.
Speaker 1 (39:12):
We did, Oh my god at Saint Almos Saint Elmo's
in Indianapolis. That shrimp cocktail I have never that was fantastic, fantastic.
Speaker 2 (39:25):
And so so we're seeing.
Speaker 1 (39:27):
It weird the little things. You remember that shrimp cocktail m.
Speaker 2 (39:32):
Yeah. So we're checking out and we go see the
VIP guy and we wanted to see our bill.
Speaker 1 (39:36):
He gives, But how good was the Rowse sauce?
Speaker 2 (39:38):
It was fine. I honestly, I don't understand it. It
wasn't It was not that special. It was not worth
four hundred dollars. I don't get how all of American
pizzas was created off of this sauce, because I've tasted
better sauce at pizza. Got it so odd that it
was built up that much. The crack corn salad was amazing,
the cheesecake was off the chiseein.
Speaker 1 (39:57):
But that's not with the Ralse sauce, not with.
Speaker 2 (39:59):
The Rowse sauce, which made sense. I'm still confused by that.
But the bill was four hundred, and the bill it
was connected to the hotel. It was a hotel restaurant.
So again they hit the card and we have now
built the folio up to like forty eight hundred dollars.
And so we go to the manager at the morning
and we go, sir, all this ass dude, all of
(40:22):
this was free. It was all paid for. I have
no idea why you double billed us in the hotel
I have no idea why if we're credited for breakfast
while we were hit with it. And also why every
time we got into the bar and got two drinks
was there and a piece of food? Was it two
hundred dollars? Because you guys were trying to overcharge us
to make sure that there was a buffer, to make
sure that the money always stayed below them, this buffer
(40:44):
of fifty dollars. We said, are you almost maxed out
our credit card? For God's sakes?
Speaker 1 (40:49):
And we can't even get to the airport man, we
can't afford a context.
Speaker 2 (40:51):
And I said, how can you explain yourself?
Speaker 1 (40:53):
That's really loud?
Speaker 2 (40:54):
Oh? What is it? Oh? I said, how can you
explain yourself? And he said, sir, it's all gonna fall off.
And I said, you know it's gonna fall off. You're
I'm gonna punch you so hard in your skin. It's
gonna fall off as long as well with this bill.
(41:14):
And so we leave that place.
Speaker 1 (41:16):
And the stress, I mean, we know how stressed you are,
so you are stressing. You're trying to play it cool now,
but the stress I can just imagine was just boiling up.
Speaker 2 (41:27):
And so then the payoff is the days later, she
heads up her travel agent, and travel agent's kind of like, wow,
that is crazy, thanks for the info. It should all
fall off. Everything will fall off, man, everything falls off.
Two days later, an act of from God himself, it
all falls off and we ended up only being billed.
(41:48):
I believe the final count was nine hundred dollars. Oh
my god, the original price of the things that we
paid for with American currency US dollars that should have
originally been charged instead of this max out five thousand
dollars double charge with a booking with that falling off, what's.
Speaker 1 (42:04):
Gonna fall off, is my thin head.
Speaker 2 (42:07):
We got out of there with our lives, our freedom,
and our pocketbooks, but we were at one point overcharge
five thousand dollars. Round of applause.
Speaker 1 (42:19):
I was really, I mean really, I thought you were
gonna say and it didn't fall off, and that travel
agent ripped us off. That's where I thought we were going.
But I am so glad for your sanity, for your
pocketbook that it fell off.
Speaker 2 (42:35):
That needs to be a T shirt. It'll fall off.
Don't worry, sir, it'll fall off. Dude.
Speaker 1 (42:40):
No, no, no, everything we do needs to be a T shirt.
Speaker 2 (42:42):
That guy Quote of the year. Oh, I'm what do
you say, I'm not paying for it. Don't worry, I'm
paying for it. Somewhere at breakfast, he's yelling at the
lady with his paper out in Mimosa.
Speaker 1 (42:57):
But we never make the shirts say it, and we
don't do it. We don't design anything. We need merch.
These people want merch.
Speaker 2 (43:04):
What was Justin's water cooler quote when he went to
the water cooler at the restaurant?
Speaker 1 (43:11):
Oh, can I buy them shots?
Speaker 2 (43:13):
There was a quote there though I don't know, at
the water cooler, meet me at the water cooler. Hey,
get drinks at the water cooler.
Speaker 1 (43:20):
Get drinks at the water cooler. I mean, that's some
good stories. Yeah, I love it.
Speaker 2 (43:25):
Yeah, but it did. It did dampen the trip a
little bit, knowing that entire time you got the the
money situation.
Speaker 1 (43:33):
Those cambio is that all your stories?
Speaker 2 (43:35):
Do we cover the moment? I had to oh, stanching guys, Oh.
Speaker 1 (43:37):
Hold on, we'll take a break, and stanching guy returns.
Speaker 2 (43:43):
So I was I hate to take up the whole time,
but it was fine. Man.
Speaker 1 (43:46):
We did my vacation on Monday. We do yours today.
Speaker 2 (43:49):
So Sunday morning. We're back in America, and I don't.
Speaker 1 (43:53):
Think you ever left America. I'm pretty sure Miami is
in America. Great boy, but hey, welcome back to America.
Speaker 2 (44:03):
So Stanching Guy, as you will remember, his specialty is
being a personal assistant to the stars. When do the
stars like to play late at night? So Stanching Guy
is a late at night guy with Billy. I never
saw him til about six pm. Here comes Stanching Guy,
and then Stanging Guy would probably go all night. So
that's Stanching Guy's got job. I'm pulling up to work
(44:24):
on Sunday, before we're back from vacation. I go into
work at five am, so I had to set everything
up for the big show. Big show. I pull up.
I'm gonna swing by McDonald's. Man, going that drive through,
get me a hash bron have some food brain power
after Miami trip. So I'm sitting there in the drive through,
got the windows down. It feels great out And in
(44:44):
the Adele's parking lot right next to McDonald's there's a Limo,
massive Limo. Couple couple guys, and there's a car parked
right next to the Limo, and they're getting in a fight.
And there's two guys in the car and the limo
has is maybe five.
Speaker 3 (45:02):
And all I hear is, Hey, man, get back in
the car, Get back in the limo.
Speaker 2 (45:07):
It's not worth it.
Speaker 3 (45:08):
I'm telling you, Hey, hey, seriously, get back in the
get in the limo. It's not getting worth it. Listen, Mark,
it's not getting.
Speaker 2 (45:15):
Worth it, man, Not tonight, not tonight. It was stanching
guy and he's got this dude, this big dude, it
had to have been a titan. He's got him and
he's freaking blocking this titan. Let's just say, from fighting
this dude in this car at five in the morning
in the Adel's parking.
Speaker 1 (45:33):
Lot, stanching Guy strikes.
Speaker 2 (45:36):
He is every week guy was hired to be a
personal assistant with this dude that had running out a
limo and just keep things in order and probably handle
the drinks, handle the tips and stuff.
Speaker 3 (45:46):
Hey man, it's not worth it. You don't want to
fight in Mark, get back in the limo. Yeah, get
back in the limo. But you know, you know, you know,
he wanted to be like, hey, seriously, though, man, let's
get these stanchions up.
Speaker 2 (45:59):
You know what.
Speaker 1 (45:59):
I'm so did you swing over there and a stanching guy?
What's going on?
Speaker 2 (46:05):
So I was caught in the line. Apparently there's a
lot of people that were hammered on Fourth of July
weekend and I couldn't leave my order. And by the
time I pulled out, it was over with. Stanching guy
had handled it.
Speaker 1 (46:16):
But that just shows you he can do everything. He
gets you VIP access, he ropes off the area, he
breaks up fights, he keeps you out of jail. Stanching
guy is worth every penny you pay him.
Speaker 2 (46:28):
I was like, man, how's he going to keep this
guy from fighting this random dude in the car? They
were probably talking trash to each other, and then you
just know he was like, what is that a restaurant
at Dallas? Hey, seriously, can we get some stanchions on it?
Speaker 1 (46:44):
Oh? Man, that's great.
Speaker 2 (46:46):
Man. Well, welcome back, welcome back, Thank you.
Speaker 1 (46:49):
Feels good to be back in America, doesn't it. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (46:52):
I mean, if you go in the ocean, are you
out there still in America?
Speaker 1 (46:56):
That's international waters. Actually, I don't know at what point,
like a question, at what point does it become international waters?
Speaker 2 (47:03):
Way more than that.
Speaker 1 (47:05):
Like is that strip of water right there. American water.
Speaker 2 (47:09):
You can't own the water. My parents have a lake
house and you don't own the water. You own the
stuff underneath the water, but you don't own the water.
People can go right in front of your house and fish. Huh,
so the water is international.
Speaker 1 (47:21):
Well there's here's a crazy thing, lake LBJ. This dude
so talking to the you know, owner of the place,
and gonna build a.
Speaker 2 (47:30):
New dock right at your lakefront.
Speaker 1 (47:33):
Yeah, at the lakefront. And he said, yeah. What's weird though,
is years ago, years and years and years and years ago,
some dude bought the first two feet of the lake.
So whoever wants to put a dock up has to
(47:54):
contact him and pay him between five and twelve thousand
dollars to put a dock up. The city allowed this,
so he owns the whole strip. And I guess there
were so many complaints. I don't. I mean, what a
smart business investment or what a scam he had. Someone
that worked in the city office is like, hey, dude,
(48:14):
if we do this, you can get rich for the
rest of your life. If you're gonna have the same
if your plans are to keep the deck the same size,
you don't have to pay him, but forever people were
paying him five thousand dollars so they could buy a
build a dock.
Speaker 2 (48:27):
You know what that's called what he did, you're a businessman.
Speaker 1 (48:30):
It's called scam.
Speaker 2 (48:31):
No, there's a name for it. What I just learned
about it reoccurring revenue, motherker, And that's what we're gonna
do with Patreon.
Speaker 1 (48:42):
What's that?
Speaker 2 (48:43):
It's how we're gonna actually make money at this podcast.
Speaker 1 (48:45):
How's that? What is Patreon?
Speaker 2 (48:48):
So we would do dirty content and we would put
it on Patreon and people would have reoccurring revenue that
we would get ninety nine cents a month. We would
get ten cents. Say there's uh, uh, what do we
have to do? Ten listeners? We would get a dollar
and we would do dirty content and put it on Patreon.
(49:10):
I'm reoccurring revenue, mother.
Speaker 1 (49:14):
I'm not doing it. We don't have we don't have
the We were gonna build up our YouTube. We haven't
even done that, and now you want to start Parthenon.
I can't do Parthenon. I I don't know what Parthenon is.
I don't know where you find Parthenon. I. I'm not
doing it.
Speaker 2 (49:28):
I gotta be really. They just hit me up with
an email today. It's top of mind.
Speaker 1 (49:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (49:33):
I said, would you be interested into it? And I said,
let me talk business with lunchbox.
Speaker 1 (49:37):
No, guys, we're not gonna do Parthenon. I don't know
what parthenon is. If it costs money, I ain't in it.
I'm in it. I'm not in it.
Speaker 2 (49:45):
My name's Paul. It's up to y'all. You and Arnold. Uh,
we would do strict content where it would just be
Arnold talking about his life.
Speaker 1 (49:54):
I I my name is Nick and that sounds like
a no, that's not it. No, uh yeah, no, it
doesn't sound good.
Speaker 2 (50:03):
My last name's Pickett. And I'm gonna say that's dumb.
Speaker 1 (50:06):
That's dumb. Yeah, all right, but yeah, Hey, welcome back, guys.
Happy Wednesday. I'm gonna limp on down to the car,
and I'm gonna limp limp on down to my house
and I'm just gonna sit here and try to figure
out what's wrong on my foot. Ray is back in America,
stanching guys, still making money and Miami, Hey, hold on,
(50:26):
but what would you say, Miami?
Speaker 2 (50:28):
Rate it? Like? Is it the I'm just the clevelander
has not had any updates in five years. Apparently nobody
still goes there. When we were having a drink, we
were the only two people there and we knew that
we just wanted to sit there and have a drink.
It was hot. The Nope, they don't believe in air conditioning.
Every every hote. Uh. If we wanted to do a dinner,
(50:50):
you're outside. There was on one that was inside was
Roused and the other one was Betsy, and we went
inside to both those. Every other one their tables are
only outside.
Speaker 1 (50:59):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (50:59):
I fun run the beach because that's where I actually
saw people and it's like seeing the community, but like
sitting at a pool with a bunch of rich people
for five days.
Speaker 1 (51:09):
Oh father, how are you doing?
Speaker 2 (51:11):
Yes, father, watching me do this. I'm gonna dive in rate.
How great my dive is?
Speaker 1 (51:15):
Hey, kid, save it.
Speaker 2 (51:16):
I'm on vacation every time, father, mother, watch me dive?
Please video take me take a flick. I want to
send it back to England. People from all over the world.
But I mean it was, it was. I mean we'll
probably never go back.
Speaker 1 (51:30):
Really.
Speaker 2 (51:31):
Yeah, our quote was good. That place way too expensive,
got it way too expensive.
Speaker 1 (51:37):
But it's still it's changed a lot because you went
three years ago, so it looks amazing, right.
Speaker 2 (51:42):
No, there's been no updates. The beach has. From what
I saw, it was all turned up. I guess it
was a storm so and then because of that maybe
it pushed the back so you can't really walk the sand.
To do the sand, you're just I'm the whole time.
It's like a frickin tough mutter.
Speaker 1 (51:57):
So what you're saying is Miami is no longer we're
a hot spot.
Speaker 2 (52:01):
I think it falls off the map.
Speaker 1 (52:03):
All right, you heard it here first breaking news.
Speaker 2 (52:06):
Wanted to go to a Marlins game one day? Why
just to mix it up, But it would have taken
the whole day to do it. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (52:14):
Are they even close to Miami? I mean, I know
they're Miami Marlins, but are they how close to that
we're in like the Tampa Bay Rays are in Saint Petersburg.
Speaker 2 (52:24):
Chick said, we could have done it in twenty minutes.
Our bartender, Oh and you got a lot of that too,
where you go, Hey, what's your favorite drink? Oh, I'm
a recovery alcoholic. Oh great, why are you at a bar?
We're asking for recommendations about drinking, and now we feel
bad about drinking. Check please.
Speaker 1 (52:40):
Yeah, I feel awkward now too, that buzz.
Speaker 2 (52:46):
There was soccer in town, though I could have saw
PSG at hard Rock stay you have been legit.
Speaker 1 (52:52):
Yeah, gotta got cheap tickets. And you know what I
just realized. I thought I didn't think we played Miami
this year. We played Miami here Nashville the last game
of the season.
Speaker 2 (53:01):
Dude, I'll be scalping that.
Speaker 1 (53:02):
But I'm you know, what I'm worried about is that
the seedings for the playoffs will be already you know, intact,
so Messy won't play.
Speaker 2 (53:12):
Our guys are hot, though they're real hot. So the
thing though we're one of the top five oldest teams,
really a lot of old legs. Twenty six is the
average age? Is that old? Yeah? Thing?
Speaker 1 (53:23):
Didn't realize that. Didn't realize that. Then I'm real old,
all right, man? Yeah, yeah,
Dude, man, you're right, man, I can't golf, I can't walk.
I mean, I told you guys about the glass on
my foot, and there's I mean, there's something majorly wrong.
Like I am still. I can't put pressure on it.
I am limping like a ninety year old man. I
(00:23):
don't know. It might hurt worse now than it did
when it originally happened and when I got the stitch
in my foot. So there's something wrong. I don't know.
Brandy Martinez, you seem to be the nurse of all nurses.
You saved Callaway's life. You saved Buddy Glass when he
got hit by a car. You bandaged him up. Can
(00:46):
you tell me how long my foot is supposed to hurt?
Because it is so painful, I cannot put any I
mean if I push off that foot, it's like a
sharp pain and I feel like, oh my god, oh
my get queasy. It's terrible.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Man.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
You see me walk and it's it's a sad sight.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
Well, we need to be more respectful on this podcast.
What happened nothing. I'm just saying we need to respect
women on this podcast.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
We do respect women, all right. That's why I gave
Brandy Martinez a shout out.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
So I said that off the cuff, offhand, jokingly about
your foot earlier out there in the hallway at the
water cooler. I didn't know you're shutting it down.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
No, no, I don't want to shut it down. Like
I even tried to do a practice golf swinging and
I can't do it here deal with this remote watch.
I mean, if I stand up once, I have to
shift my weight to my left foot. I can't do it.
I buckle, I can't.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
I can't put the golf club.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
I have two soccer games to night. Don't know how
that's gonna go soccer. You can't make it to the bathroom.
So yes, like I am still in pain. I don't
know what's going on. Man, Like I I limp like
we went yesterday and my watch? Do you mean to
go get the car? And I'm like no, I could
walk to the car and she goes, you're limping real bad,
(02:10):
I said, I understand that people think that I have
like a peg leg or something. I don't know. I
look terrible and it is. It's bad.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
I know you're gonna say people think I'm abusive because
you yelled at her in public.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
No, No, I didn't yell. I was just like, no, I
can walk. She goes, well, you're limping real bad, and
I said, it's okay.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
Do you ever yell in public at each other? No?
Speaker 1 (02:31):
Kids?
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Yes, yes, kids, of course. Boomer and dude were at
the ice cream shop. I literally, man, go yourself, get
in that seat. Hey, hen baby, Henny baby, get get
dump out of the air. Yes, you can yell at kids,
but your wife. The people that yell in public, that's
when you know how bad their relationship.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
Is because behind closed doors, oh boy, you don't want
to see that. It's like my dad. I mean, we
were in Chicago one time Geno Zis Pizza and right
across the street, some guy was yelling at this chicken
hat her up against the wall, and my dad went
and broke it up. He's like, whoa, what do you
think you're doing. You don't need to talk to her
like that, And I mean, this is the mean streets
(03:10):
of Chicago. Probably shouldn't have got involved in that. And
finally an officer showed up and told my dad, never
get involved in a domestic situation.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
Never.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
That is not you. You do not know what's gonna happen.
But my dad, being the hero he was. His kids
still remember it to this day, him walking across that
street and telling him to back off.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
Batter of the Box.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
No, no, no, Batter's Box didn't do it.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
What if everybody it's a Batter's Box here? But would
he remember it?
Speaker 1 (03:36):
Probably? I would assume he did. And I haven't heard
from Batter's Box since the lake. He has not reached out.
Oh yeah, he did say he was doctor Box. Because
he goes, yeah, your foot doesn't look right. I'm like, okay, yeah,
I knew that. He just call me a doctor.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
Did your sister's kids because they were twins? Did they
trump everybody else's kids?
Speaker 1 (03:55):
What do you mean trump them?
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Are they the coolest because they're twins? No?
Speaker 3 (04:00):
Oh that.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
My brother's kid is nine, so he's the oldest. So
he likes to rule the roost. He thinks he's the
coolest kid on the block. Like when we got there
the first night, that Saturday night, and we're all in
the water and we're going, hey, get in the water,
get the wa Are you coming in? He goes, nah,
I don't think I'm gonna come in, man, Like, hold on, hey,
(04:21):
baby Box, you want me to come in the water.
And he's like, yeah, come in and he goes, ah,
baby Box two, you want me to come in the water.
And he's like yeah, come in and he goes, man,
I don't know, baby Box three, you want to swim
with me? And he's like yeah, and he goes, all right,
(04:41):
I guess I'll come in the water. Like he makes
them say yeah, we want to swim with you, and
then he gets out. And then that night he's like, here,
let me show you guys how to cast and he
goes he gets a fishing pole and he has them
all standing there by the lake. He's like you gotta
take it, and he's showing him how to cast a
pole and they are just mesmerized because he's the nine
year old and he's trying to show off. Let me
(05:02):
show you, Let me show you, dude, that nine year
old thinks he and he told me, yeah, I'm probably
gonna be a pro golfer like dang. And he tells
other kids, oh, every fish, Oh, I think that was
a bass. I think that was a bass. We'm almost caught.
So my kids when we get one a bite and
it gets away. My six year Old's like, Dad, I
(05:24):
think that was a bass. He goes it was either
a bass, a white tail bass, or a carp I'm like,
why do you say that?
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Cousin said it, and he goes, well, that's what he said.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
And I'm like, he doesn't know, but that's what I'm saying.
They hear a nine year old say it, they think
it's the gospel.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
Well, cousins too. Are the older ones? Aren't they the coolest?
You think growing up and then you end up finding
out they got, you know, a pill problem, and they're
twenty years older than they should and they're a weather
and they moved him on Tana and they come home
and they're shaking like a leaf and they got glasses on.
You're like, what happened to Andy?
Speaker 1 (05:59):
They got a drink problem. They drink every day. They
just like to get hammered. I mean that's what happens
to the cousins. And so, yes, they think he walks
on water. I mean he sat there and made them
all say, yeah, we want to swim with you. Before
he said all right, I'll get in the water.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
My cousin I was probably still in high school. His
sister dated one of the band members of Kiss. I
want to say, or a rock band, a cool rock
Jean Simmons, it was a younger one. Okay, let's just
say blink one eighty two, got it? Probably not them.
Pete Wentz so her that made her cool. Well, then
the dude cousin he was he was like lispy or not.
(06:38):
It was what's what's up? So he was lispy and
I was in high school and I go, hey, man, yeah,
or I was just got into college maybe, And I said, hey, dude, so,
what what do you do for work? I was fascinated
by him.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
Was, uh, Chicago, I do construction. And I'm like, oh
my gosh, you work on the road. You And he goes,
can't find work right now? There's not a lot of
construction jobs.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
But yeah, I do construction, man, And so then you know,
you get to talk and you learn in life there's
construction everywhere. Why did he not have a construction job?
Speaker 1 (07:08):
How can he not find construction in Chicago? I mean,
I'm pretty sure they're building stuff in Chicago all the time.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
It's a naughty big city. We're down the road fifteen years.
I'm like, Oh, the dude just didn't like to work,
and he just always said he's looking for jobs and construction.
So he was actually probably a do nothing, but I,
because he's a cousin, I put him on a pedestal.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
He thought he was doing a lot.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
There's not a lot of jobs in Chicago for construction.
Oh gosh. Crazy. Years later you learn they're building a
new skyscraper every week. No jobs.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
Yeah, it's strange how that happens. It's just a weird thing,
like cousins. And what's weird about cousins. And I thought
about this while we were at the lake. Is when
your kids seeing your cousins is the coolest, like adventure,
Like it is so fun to get together with your cousins.
But then when you reach probably high school, you pretty
much stopped talking to your cousins.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Talking, but you still think they're really cool.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
And then you never see them like.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
Post college, where you think they're not cool and you
realize they're losers. But even in high school, dude, Yeah, yeah,
so I was just I was just driving around last night.
Yeah I was weird, smoking and stuff. Yeah, yeah, construction
thought he was so cool in high school.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
Me I look at it and I'm like, my cousins
who do I talk to? Out of my cousins. I
talked to cousin Andrew. I talked to Kevin in Atlanta,
and every once in a while I'll text Michelle, who
lives in Morton, Illinois. That is pretty much it. I
had a cousin movie. My cousin Jessica, who is Andrew's sister.
I taught to her once in a blue moon, like
(08:42):
here's the thing. She lives in Austin, and she texted
us the other day like happy anniversary, when it was
my wife and I anniversary. We text back and forth.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
It's cool.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
She came to visit at the lake and oh my god,
she's six months pregnant.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
Happy Annie.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
And I'm like, uh, hello, can we get a like hey,
just so you know, we're having another baby? She goes, oh,
I thought you knew. That's how little you talked to
your cousins, is that she is six months pregnant and
you had no idea. She didn't even tell us, didn't
even let us know. So that tells you how much
I talked to my cousins. It's like the summer after
(09:16):
high school. It was ninety nine, nineteen ninety nine.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
That is see you later, kid, hope it's as magical
as the summer of sixty nine.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
We were on a road trip from Austin, Texas. We
drove to Houston, saw the Astros play they.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
Had Was I with you?
Speaker 1 (09:32):
No, it was nineteen ninety nine. I didn't know you,
and chess Day was with me.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Chess dude, he's the usual suspect you. Was it the
pool in his bikini?
Speaker 1 (09:42):
Yep, chess Day's dad. No teeth, Keith and we did
a They did run the bases after the game, so
we got to run the bases. Then we drove to
Arlington the next day watch the Rangers, and the next
day we drove to Saint Louis and watched the Cardinals.
The next day we drove to sen Cincinnati to see
the Cincinnati Reds. We watched them, then we drove to
(10:04):
Chicago and watched the Chicago Cubs. And while I was there,
I was like, oh, Aunt Doug and or Aunt Linda
and uncle Doug live right down the road from Grandma.
We might as well I'll drive over there and see them.
But they were on my dad's side, so they weren't related.
And I go in, I'm like, oh, good to see Doug.
Good to see you, Linda.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
How's it going, Dougger?
Speaker 1 (10:25):
And I'm my am I and I have a cousin, VICKI,
who's the exact same age is me. So she graduated
high school in ninety nine. Also, so I show up
at their house and this tells you how much you
don't talk to your cousins once you're in high school.
And I'm at their house in about forty five minutes later,
I'm like, so is Vicky at work? Because she worked
at the Denny. She was a hostess right down the road.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
She went to college for them.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
I know this was right after high school, oh, summer
before at college. And I was like, oh, so is
Vicky working today?
Speaker 2 (10:55):
Yeah, ra a minor in hospitality.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
And they said Vicky moved England.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
I thought you're gonna say died.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
I'm like, oh, oh, okay, Well that tells me how
much I'm involved and get told about my cousins. That's
what I mean. When you're a kid, it revolves around cousins.
When you get older, you don't talk to your cousins.
I mean there's one time my cousins from Atlanta, Vic
Kevin and then sister Lynn who's much older, so we
didn't really know her, but she was always grown up.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
When you're throwing a lot of names out there, I'm
not bleeping them. I know.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
I don't care. And they gave us Atlanta Brave shirts
when we were kids, go Bravos, and so we had
school pictures, right, and so what did we wear because
our cousins gave them to us.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
They were the coolest shirts. I thought you were a
Cubs fan.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
I was, but my cousin gave me the shirt. So
I wore the Atlanta's shirt. It was like a navyish
blue lightish blue, and it said Atlanta across the front.
Wore those in the school pictures. And we show up
there to the house, their house, to show them the pictures,
like in Atlanta, like a year later, I don't know,
and we're like, oh my gosh, look what we wore.
(12:04):
And we're thinking they're gonna wear the shirts we gave them.
They had shirt and ties on in they're pictures. It's like, oh,
I guess we're not as cool to you as you
are to us.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
It's an age thing though. The older ones are always
the cooler ones.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
Well, Kevin was younger than me. Yeah, Vic was older
than me. He was he was batter's boxes age. But yeah,
I don't know how we got on this cousin talk.
But yeah, that's where we're at now.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
It's good Cauz. I was gonna say, those stadiums you
all visited, the only one that still exists as rigally.
Every other one's a new one. Cincinnati was a dome.
Now it's outdoors American Great American Minute made whatever it's
called Enron Now it used to be a dome. Yeah,
it used to be the astronaut Saint Louis. I believe
it's right next to it. They still kind of.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
Call it whatever they cash stadium.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
It's probably a new stadium though I think it's still
called Bush it is, but it's a new for sure.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
Yeah, it's new. It's definitely new. Riverfront is where we
went to Cincinnati. They have the new one now.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
We went to Chicago that's really still there. Yeah, and
then we went to Milwaukee and they were building the
new one, and that's when the crane fell on the workers.
Whoa the crane was in this like toppled over in
the middle of the stadium.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
That could have been Cuzzo. Yeah, he was in construction,
but it couldn't find a job.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
There's never any work man. It's tough construction. They're not
building in America. We're actually losing the population in India.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
Oh, Cauz. Couz said it. He said it like fish
or trout and he Couz said that there's no construction jobs.
Who told you that? Man? Cuzzo? Wow? You know how
people go around and day to day? Who did you
hear that from? Cuzzo? He told me that the other day.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
Hey man, we almost got a fish. What was it?
It's either a bass or a white tail bass. What
makes you think that? That's what he said? That's what
Coz said.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
Cuzzo said it.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
Cauz doesn't know.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
I mean the fact if I could have been there
in that moment where you go, how do you know
what kind of fishes is?
Speaker 1 (13:54):
Cauz said it.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
Cauz is nine years old and doesn't even know which
end is up or.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
Were He doesn't know was left from his right, but
he knows what kind of fish were catching. I mean, wow,
he And what's funny.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
Because woke up this morning and ate fruit loops for breakfast,
and you think he knows the difference between fish.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
I literally have no idea how he became so obsessed
with bass, Like, I don't know where he got because
we were using worms. The bass don't want a worm.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
Probably because it has the word ass in it.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
Oh, that could be it, but I mean everything was
Oh man, I almost caught a bass or that was
a bass. I'm sure that that was the one that
got a white that was probably a bass. And I
don't think we saw one bass the entire time. I
don't think we had one. I mean, why would we
get me catching a bass?
Speaker 2 (14:39):
So funny?
Speaker 1 (14:40):
But he was obsessed with bass, and I don't I
have no idea why. So then, in turn, my kids
became obsessed with every fish that got away was a
bass or a white tail bass.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
You look at your dad, You're like that, seriously, are
these are they right? Or they look like catfish?
Speaker 1 (14:55):
I literally asked my dad, was like, did we really
almost catch a bass?
Speaker 2 (15:00):
Because Cuzzo said it.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
Cuzo said it, I started believing we were fishing for
you and your dad are like, are they really bass?
This whole time we thought they were catfish away their baths.
Its hilarious, but yeah, we better start the show man.
We have that though, No, I don't think we have.
And then we gotta go down to Miami. Dude, people
are waiting to hear about Miami. Ben Beneath Omi, Ama.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
Hey man, we gotta get these stanchions up.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
Man.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
I can't wait. I've been thinking about it. I mean,
stanching guys back. What else happened in Miami after.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
Eaching guy has to be the last story.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
I tell Okay, I forgot what else you had from Miami,
but I can't wait to hear.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
Tom Brady stanching guy five thousand dollars overcharge, that's right,
and the other one probably sucks.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
So no, no, none of them suck. Oh there is
no such thing as suck when you talk about a
vacation story.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Well, I had a couple of notes on my phone,
but my phone is now live on YouTube. I got
him in the dome.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
Do you need to go and get your phone?
Speaker 2 (16:00):
It's domed.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
All right, let's start the show.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
We're gonna do it live. We are the one two too,
so loser? What up? Everybody?
Speaker 1 (16:11):
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 2 (16:19):
Y'all, it says, and I'm from the North. I'm an
alpha male. I moved to Nashville with Baser my wife.
We have two point two acres north of town. The
price and property value is through the roof right now.
It's probably doubled or tripled in value in the last
ten years. Cornfields everywhere. It was at one point two
point three acres. It's moved to two point two and
it's beautiful in the country. I'm losing my music bed here.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
Baser works from home. I added that two kids at
Vanderbilt yep, two point two. Justin checks on him in
electrophysiology every day. He should be anyways, Justin let me
know already. Man.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
Man, we're gonna take a break, but when we come back,
we'll be live from Miami South. We'll be right back.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
Yeah. If we forget a story, just hit us up
on the Facebook. Since you guys don't post anything else,
they'll give you guys something to talk about.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
I mean, some people post, they post some random stuff.
I don't know what they're posting, but they did post
about how there my vacation stressed them out, about how
hearing all those stories just is very stressful.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
So let me get this one out of the way,
because you're gonna say it's stupid.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
No, no, no, story is stupid Tom Brady.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
So the pool boy told me that there was a
sister Low's in Costa Rica, Middle America, somewhere Central America.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
Wall, wait, say that again.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
The hotel is called Low's, So.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
They have a different hotel Low's in Costa Rica.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
Or it's a sister one with a different name. You'll
never be able to look it up.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
Got it?
Speaker 2 (17:53):
And he said one of the pool boys there told
him that Tom Brady was at that Low's.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
What was he doing in Costa Rica? There's vacation in.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
I don't know if it was Costa Rica, it was
centially it might have been Honduras.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
Okay or El Salvador, but that was it. So what
you're telling me is that the pool boys at each
hotel talk to each other.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
Yes, because there's a chat and so they're able to
stay in touch.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
How do they Did he come to train in the
US to learn to be a pool boy and then
he goes back to that hotel? Or did he used
to work at the one in Miami? And then since
it's a sister hotel and you want to explore the world.
He transferred to another location because I in the end
of high school, I worked at Sam's Club sixty four
or fifty three in Austin, and then when I was
(18:41):
going to college in San Antonio, I was able to
transfer to a sister store and be at sixty four sixteen.
So is that how that works with the pool boys.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
I don't know he was. I believe he was special
needs the one you were talking to. Yeah, but he
is really in tune on people, boom inside info on
this Tom Brady Central America, so he's able to have
communication with people. But then he wouldn't leave. So I
got all kinds of stories from him. But these are
the ones I brought to the sports podcast.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
So you got that a quarterback, college quarterback, Top ten team,
a lister was getting hammered under age from this pool
boy m hm, and that Tom Brady was currently at
their sister hotel in a different country.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
Also got he goes.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
Did he have to wear disguise?
Speaker 2 (19:31):
That's what I was gonna get to. But the pool boy,
I believe he also knows about the podcast, or it
said in our folio that I was a sports podcast host,
because he goes, you know a sports podcast, you're a
sports podcast And then he told me this stuff. That's
the only reason he told me it. So he's a
fan of the show.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
You didn't tell me that. There is never a story
that sucks if it ends with they're a fan of
the podcast. Never.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
But about Tom Brady. He goes that his sister hotel
in Central America. Pool boyfriend told him that Tom Brady
was wearing disguise. He'll wear long hair and a mustache
so that nobody knows who he is really. Yeah, so
that he can go by the pool and just relax.
He's still tall and you probably know the face. But
(20:21):
he said, yeah, he was in full disguise. His buddy
told him, that's weird.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
Man.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
I'm gonna got a drink, and I took him at
face value. I'm not gonna question him on that.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
How do you see what I'm drinking from? TB twelve, Yeah,
water bottle TB twelve.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
That was it. That's the story. So, guys, if you're
looking for the Tom Brady we all remember from the
Roast or the NFL, he wears the disguise if he's
on vacation.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
You know why he has to wear a disguise on vacation.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
I don't know. The pool boy didn't tell me.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
No, I'm gonna tell you why, Cause it's hard. Hard
to go out on vacation when you're Tom Brady. It's hard,
hard to do anything without people mobbing you. It's hard
to go to Costa Rica and we have a peaceful vacation.
So I wear a disguise because it's hard. Ea, it's
hard being so famous. Now, that's why he wears a disguise.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
That was good man. The I'm gonna need the cry
music for this one. The five thousand dollars overcharge? Oh no,
So we went to this hotel. I'll just come out
and say for a whole week though we're there six
seven days, twenty five hundred dollars. Whoa right? But that no,
but right? That was the heart of the that's it.
(21:34):
That's your vacation.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
That's because you're not going anywhere else.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
Correct. So we wanted a place, now.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
How expensive where you're playing tickets down to Miami.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
Free what I'm a partner pass or whatever with who
my wife? We do the Southwest credit card, so you
got free flights. Yeah, she had built up points mine
and I'm a partner pass whatever it's called.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
Maybe I need to look into that. It's that damn
thing that Bones used to do, companion.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
Companion pass, that's what I am.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
So she uses the credit card and she gets all
this stuff racked up and there's no blackout dates, and
then she has a companion pass because she spends so
much money on the credit card that you fly for free.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
Yeah, I fly. I could fly every weekend if I
want to for free.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
Huh, that's legit.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
Yeah, I need to take more flights. So we go
there for free, but twenty five hundred dollars, which was good.
And then she also worked in some other deals. The
reason we were fine with that twenty five hundred breakfast
one hundred and fifty every day.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
Oh you got credit for one hundred fifty dollars a
breakfast every day.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
These fools are at breakfast at this hotel. It was
a high end hotel, is what I'm saying. And they're
paying one hundred and fifty dollars for breakfast and that's nice.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
That's a great deal. So that does she get that
deal by calling them or does she find that online
or does she have did someone know somebody.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
She got founded on tic Tac and it was a
travel agent. And the travel agent goes, I can guarantee
you with this twenty five hundred dollars charge and get
a penthouse and you're gonna get so they can't. So
here's the deal. They can say. It's like ocean front
means you're on the side of the ocean. Love that
ocean view does not mean it. You could be facing
(23:12):
a warehouse, but you can see just a corner of
the ocean.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
I understand what you're saying.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
So we saw two sides of this hotel. One side
faces a warehouse, the other side is beautiful. You see
the pool, you see the ocean, you see Miami, and
the lady goes, I guarantee you get the good side.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
So my question is, so she sees her on tic
Tac and she sends her a message and says, hey,
we want to do what you're saying.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
And you guys, just dmbaser. She'll hook it up. I
believe the travel agent gets kickbacks. I have no idea
how any of it works.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
Yeah, I'm not sure what it has to because I'm
not sure how a travel agent makes money. And are
there are a lot of travel agents still around with Google.
I'm not sure, but I will say that our room
had lake front view.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
Like front for sure. Then it was the front of
the lake.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
Like we we look out the know we saw the
lake lakefront. Yeah, we were lake front.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
You were guaranteed a view of the lake. But the
travel agent was correct. All that was hooked up. Travel
also hooks us up with one hundred dollars credit every
single day for so this why we were willing to
pay that big amount. We could use one hundred dollars
at anything restaurants, bars, drinking, breakfast, coffee.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
Now, correct me if I'm wrong. When you're at this hotel,
do they have like the sand like you walk out
and you can be in the sand. Yes, So do
they have people that will serve you drinks on the beach?
Speaker 2 (24:38):
Correct?
Speaker 1 (24:39):
My gosh, And I learned this is what I'm talking.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
Well, I felt bad about that. I go to the
beach I didn't and I go, oh, we got it
was a beach bar. And I say can I get
a drink? And they go YEA, yeah, we'll get it. Hey, Jose, drink.
This guy runs it from the bar sprints it to
the hut. I thought it the hut they had the drinks.
I just walked past the bar. I could have grabbed
it there instead of made homiees printed a quarter freaking
(25:03):
forty yard dash and brought it to me.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
So you made Jose work double hard. And it's hard
to run on the sand if you guys have never
run in sand. Whoa, and trying to carry a drink,
let me guess whitelaw it was. Oh, I'm gonna tell
you what I like to drink on the beach. And
this may you know, ruin my image or whatever, But
a nice Pina colada on the beach. Oh my gosh.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
Oh don't worry. We ordered that. But then the servers
they all try to upsell, and they're all a bunch
of scam artists. Gets goes, hey, baser, do you want
a topper? Oh, yes, miss miss Bidwell, I'll take Yes,
I'm miss Bedwell, I'll take a topper. Do you want
two toppers on it?
Speaker 1 (25:40):
Whoa?
Speaker 2 (25:41):
This guy brings out it looked like brown soup with
one little drop of a pina colada, and he goes,
here's your two toppers pina colada, and I go baser.
He was just trying to get the biggest charge from you.
And this is the most disgusting drink.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
Yeah, the topper is great and everything. It sounds good,
but it just dilutes it and you don't really get
the pina colada taste. And I'm not saying you can.
You have to sit there and have a bunch of
penia coladas, like ten of them, but one pina colada
with you know why you're sitting on the beach. There's
something about that. I mean, call me a itch if
(26:17):
you want to, but don't tell me. Don't knock a
penia colada on the beach or a penia klada pool
side every once in a while. Oh my gosh, come on, guys,
I'm with you. They're fantastic.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
So we did that. I don't want to distract you.
But this hotel was the hotel that the president vice
president CEO of Liberty went and got a pool boy
and he cut this is the pool boy, not that
pool boy, but this is the hotel. So when we
were at the hotel where the cuck holding was going on,
do you watching the pool boy Ramrod his wife.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
Do you think that pool boy thought that he was
gonna get to cuck hold your wife.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
Well, is that.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
Why he was being so nice to you? He pegged
you for a cocker.
Speaker 2 (27:01):
This pool boy was all about his job because he
was on the spectrum.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
So was that other pool boy. He was all about
his job, right.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
But this guy was obsessed with me. Once I started
talking to him, he gave me story after story after story.
I'm good on the big show for a year of
stories that I got from this guy. Okay, so he
was more than the average person. Average person, Hey, how
you doing by? Yeah, thanks for buying the towel and drink.
See I'll never see you again later. This guy super
served me. Absolutely loved him. Don't think he was the
(27:29):
pool boy that was part of the cuck holding.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
Okay, so did you spend more time at the pool
or the beach?
Speaker 2 (27:34):
Pool? Beach sand was too thick. There was some storm
going up to the Carolinas, so it was all roughed up.
And it's not It wasn't walkable. The times I've been
to South Beach before you could walk the beach. This
one it was like quicksand dude, my foot would go
half in, half a foot in, so you'd be exhausted.
I thought I was training for like some try, like
some tough mutter. I'm just trying to go to the
(27:55):
beach and have a drink. Immediately went back to the pool.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
That's tough.
Speaker 2 (27:59):
Back to the story. So the five thousand dollars overcharge
this hotel that is not in part immediate partnership with
the travel agent, so that that twenty five hundred dollars charge.
They go, Hey, so for your room and stuff, We've
put another charge on your credit card for twenty five
hundred dollars.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
Wait.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
Why, it's just how they do business, we said. Okay, okay,
keep in mind the limit on the credit card is
five thousand dollars. All right, I don't like that.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
I don't like that.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
Twenty five hundred dollars. We go to breakfast. Uh, here's
your bill for breakfast for you two, and then you
can include twenty percent is already on there. You can
also include additional tip. Oh, of course we'll additionally tip bay.
We already got the one fifty for free. Of course,
I'll give him thirty dollars. Thank you. Handing back the receipt,
Baser gets on the credit card. She goes, they just
(28:50):
charged our credit card for three hundred dollars, and I go,
excuse me, We're told to one hundred fifty dollars credit
They go, we always, yeah, it's free. Don't worry, you're
not paying for it. But it does hit your credit card.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
No, what why?
Speaker 2 (29:04):
What do you mean?
Speaker 1 (29:04):
It hits your credit card and then it comes off,
and then it comes off. Just don't hit it. Let's
let's not hit my credit card.
Speaker 2 (29:10):
Then, and they get, don't worry, sir, you're not paying
for it.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
I'm paying for it somewhere.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
Don't to worry. I stole that line from another day.
We're walking past another table. The lady goes, sir, it's
it's gonna say that, but you're not paying for it,
and he goes, I'm paid for it somewhere. Me and
Vaser both fell out dial loud.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
It's a good line. I like that line. I kind
of enjoy that line.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
So every breakfast we get this one hundred and fifty
dollars charge. So now you see where we're climbing our
way to five thousand dollars overcharge. This is not good, right,
And so then we go to the bar. Hey, let's
get some salad. Let's get some case of dias and
some drinks. Remember, we got one hundred dollar credit. Do
it all right, sir? Uh, we'll just put it on
(30:01):
the room. But we got one hundred dollar credit. Goes Oh, absolutely,
you'll be all set. Boom baser an alert. You have
been charged two hundred dollars. Whoa whoa, whoa whoa whoa. Uh, sir, sir,
we have one hundred dollars complimentary credit that they said,
why did we get charged on our credit card? Oh,
you're not paying for it. It's just gonna say that,
and then when you leave.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
It'll fall what what dude, We're freaking out.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
We're loosing our minds. We've been there a day and
they've hit our credit card for over three thousand dollars.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
Yeah, I'd be like, no, no, no, I don't want it
to hit my credit card because you're starting to stress
me out. You're ruining my vacation because I think I'm
having all this extra money on it, and then once
I leave, you're just hoping that it goes off. What
if it stays on? Then I got to call you
and get on the phone. This is not good. So
we go to think about moving hotels.
Speaker 2 (30:51):
No, this was the spot. Okay, So we'll go to
breakfast every day, and they hit us for the one
hundred and fifty dollars with the tip because it twenty
percent included, and then you do your own ten.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
You don't have to do anymore.
Speaker 2 (31:01):
But we felt bad because we didn't know what the
workers were getting.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
They're getting twenty percent. That's what they're getting.
Speaker 2 (31:07):
You don't do.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
You don't have to do an additional right.
Speaker 2 (31:09):
Have you met my wife?
Speaker 1 (31:10):
I understand you're trying to I was feeding.
Speaker 2 (31:12):
The birds because she was worried that they weren't getting
enough food, so she was smuggling them crackers and stuff
from the one hundred and fifty dollars buffet so that
they were fed.
Speaker 1 (31:20):
Well, I understand, you'd think you're the real housewives of
Miami and you need to do all this and flaunt
and everything because you're at this nice hotel that you
found on tic Tac pay. You know, But once it
says twenty percent, you stop.
Speaker 2 (31:32):
You can stop, and so do all the math. One
hundred and fifty every single day, and then we go
to the bar and we learned that they hit you
for two hundred. They round up and they still hit
your card even though it's complimentary.
Speaker 1 (31:46):
I don't round up well.
Speaker 2 (31:48):
They no, No, They've rounded up to full numbers. And
we said, well, why are these exact hole numbers? Our
bill was one hundred and sixty nine dollars, Why does
it say two hundred. We just make sure that it's
all covered and then that'll fall off at the end
of your trip. If I could have told you the
amount of times I heard the phrase it'll fall off,
you know it was about to fall off. Mike is
about to fall off because I could got no more money. Hey,
(32:12):
if you say something's gonna.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
Fall off and the next thing's gonna fall off.
Speaker 2 (32:16):
Is your sucking head, because I'm gonna knock you out.
Speaker 1 (32:19):
Jose Hey, mister Bidwell, would you like a drink? No,
I wouldn't not a drink because I don't have any money.
I'm gonna fall It's gonna fall off your tray if
you bring it to me, because I'm gonna knock it off.
Speaker 2 (32:32):
And some is expensive there, so you get a bucket
a high nooners. There's a hundred bucks. Oh my Baser
salad forty dollars, oh Man coffee.
Speaker 1 (32:41):
I didn't realize buying me was so expensive.
Speaker 2 (32:43):
It's absurdly expensive. Coffee at the coffee shop, two iced
coffees twenty bucks.
Speaker 1 (32:50):
I don't know about that. I have no idea how
expensive coffee is, but that just sounds insane.
Speaker 2 (32:54):
And our dumbest purchase. That also helped get it closer
to that.
Speaker 1 (32:58):
You bought a shirt for your cat.
Speaker 2 (33:00):
No baser, goes hey, So but there you go. So
those are the amounts, knock gonna they're overcharging. It's all
gonna fall off eventually. So this car just getting hit.
We're getting closer and closer to five thousand. Okay, day two,
it's day three. You know we're doing those amounts. Basic
goes hey, let's go. Let's we've snuck onto the plane
forty airplane bottles because wonderful, we knew it was gonna
(33:22):
be free. We knew it was gonna be the airplane
bottles are gonna be free drinks. We're gonna be expensive,
so we sneak them on to our carry ons. We
read you can bring a leader bag of any air
airplane bottles you want, as long as it fits in
a leader bag. Wonderful in our carry on. Knuck it
on went into the airport bathroom, poured it in the gatorade,
drink on the plane for free.
Speaker 1 (33:40):
That's what you do, and that's smart. And don't bust
it out on the plane and pour it on the
plane like Johan did on your bachelor party. And I understand. Listen,
here's the cool part. Here's the coolest part. I missed
the days of when you could bring your own bottles
on the airplane. That was so fantastic. I miss those days.
But it's smart to still bring them. You just can't.
(34:02):
You gotta pour them in the airport when you're in
the bathroom, just poorting your gatorady to your coke. It's
so simple before you get on the plane.
Speaker 2 (34:08):
That story was brought up with Johan. I go, well,
how was he busted? And we're not and Baser goes
cause his dumb ass pulled him out and they fell
out of his bag and he was gonna drink him
on the plane. Yes, you just can't do that. So well,
my music stopped. What the hell is still a crime
that's going on? And we're getting we're getting into whatever
(34:30):
three four thousand dollars amount, still fine, and we go
remember it's gonna all take care of itself to fall off.
It's gonna fall off. And so I go down to
the bar. She says, hey, get some glasses. We can
do these airplane bottles and stuff up in the room.
I go, genius. So I go down there. I go,
let me get your cheapest beer. Cheapest beer. I don't care.
I just need the glasses up there for my wife.
Oh yeah, I no problem. This is one of those
(34:51):
trendy bars where the bartender dresses like she's from nineteen sixty, like.
Speaker 1 (34:55):
Oh real cool, like a Hopscotch or not is a prohibition?
Speaker 2 (34:59):
Yeah, there you go, and she goes, that'll be thirty
eight dollars. It was thirty eight dollars for two Sam
Adams pints. Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (35:09):
At that point I'd have been like, ah, I'm good
on the beers, man. I think I'm gonna go in
pass and I think I'd just gone to the gas
station across the street and got little coke cups.
Speaker 2 (35:19):
These prices were off the charts.
Speaker 1 (35:22):
It sounds like Las Vegas, man, if I'm being honest
with you, those are the prices of Las Vegas.
Speaker 2 (35:26):
It is. It was very comparable. And so so we
do that and we're aware now that everything's just hitting
our credit card. She's getting little beeps boop, you just
had a four hundred dollars charge. Bopp. Remember we had
paid for the trip before we went. Everything had been
covered the months before we got there. But we are
at the most bougie hotel in all Miami. So were
(35:49):
the pool days amazing? Yes? Did we get weighted on
hand and foot? Yes, you had towels, you had umbrellas
that'd bring you whatever you wanted. I would be sitting
in my chair, the guy would get mad at me,
go don't ever go to the bar, and they go,
excuse me, I was just over there in that area.
Soone got a beer. He's like, don't ever go to
the bar. Your job is to not leave the pool
or the seat. My job is to serve you. I
like that.
Speaker 1 (36:10):
You know what's the difference between my vacation yours? You
want to know when my credit card was getting hit?
Never do, because we just sat there at the lake.
There was no credit card. There's no credit card machines there,
there was no one there to wait on me hand
and foot.
Speaker 2 (36:23):
But nothing had to fall off the bag. People, they go,
why did you take your bags up to your room.
We have people hired to take your bags up there
for you. I said, I'm sorry, I didn't know. Like
the bell hop like takes your bags.
Speaker 1 (36:37):
I don't use the bell hop because they want a
tip the bell up? Now, can I help you with
your bags?
Speaker 2 (36:41):
Hurt?
Speaker 1 (36:41):
No, I'm good, don't worry everywhere I go. No, I'm good.
I am able enough to wheel my bag to the
elevator and bring it up to the room. No need
for you to do it.
Speaker 2 (36:50):
All right, So Baser gets it, does all the math.
We got to take a commercial.
Speaker 1 (36:54):
Well are you is this done with the five thousand?
Speaker 2 (36:56):
No? No, we're getting to the grand finale.
Speaker 1 (36:58):
We'll take a break.
Speaker 2 (37:03):
And so she does the math, and she goes, hey,
we've been hit for like four thousand dollars our limits
about we've been hit for it was I believe forty
four hundred and so I go, hey, there's a restaurant.
It's like this Rows restaurant. I go, this will be
a perfect ending to the trip.
Speaker 1 (37:19):
Dude, this was your other story. You were going to
rate the restaurant. This is the the invention of the
rows to spaghetti sauce that you see in all the
grocery stores across America.
Speaker 2 (37:28):
And so I go, hey, this is a restaurant. Let's
just go there. It's apart from the hotel. I said,
we can go rocket there and we'll be totally fine
that way. They're not going to include it in this
huge old thing that we're just getting hammered with. And
so I go to rows restaurant. We have it. It's
been the invention of the rouse sauce that's on every
pizza in America. It's super popular. And we go to
(37:49):
this spot.
Speaker 1 (37:50):
How's it smell?
Speaker 2 (37:51):
Smell this Italian amazing? We went had the earliest appointment.
We were the first people there. The guy is just
in our face. Hello.
Speaker 3 (37:58):
Yes, our rest trump was invented in nineteen seventy two.
We were the first ever sauce ever to touch in
American's lips.
Speaker 2 (38:04):
Sorry, would you like it to touch you tonight?
Speaker 1 (38:06):
I don't know, man, What are you gonna put in
my mouth? All over us?
Speaker 2 (38:11):
All over us here?
Speaker 1 (38:12):
We are famous for our sauce here at this hotel,
but we're also famous for the pool boy hooking up
with the Liberty President's wife. Would you like we provide
that service also?
Speaker 2 (38:20):
Are you interested? In Cuckholding. There was crack corn salad,
we had cheesecake. We had the main thing with the
sauce was the rigatona chicken that has the Barbisan chicken parmesan.
Speaker 1 (38:32):
Got it.
Speaker 2 (38:33):
Baser gets some shrimp that's spicy. It was amazing. That
was good. And then the chicken parm big massive got it.
So that's the thing that this sauce boom, that's what
you're gonna want. Yeah, it was most spensive meal I've
ever had my life because they had this rouse sauce
that's special. It was like four hundred. Uh. The chicken parmesan.
(38:53):
I've gotten similar flavors at Fizzoli's. Oh it was not
even close to work. That had no idea the history
of this restaurant, how it got off of its feet
and all that wasn't nothing special. I will say Baser
shrimp was off the chain good. It was like that
uh shrimp cocktail that.
Speaker 1 (39:12):
We did, Oh my god at Saint Almos Saint Elmo's
in Indianapolis. That shrimp cocktail I have never that was fantastic, fantastic.
Speaker 2 (39:25):
And so so we're seeing.
Speaker 1 (39:27):
It weird the little things. You remember that shrimp cocktail m.
Speaker 2 (39:32):
Yeah. So we're checking out and we go see the
VIP guy and we wanted to see our bill.
Speaker 1 (39:36):
He gives, But how good was the Rowse sauce?
Speaker 2 (39:38):
It was fine. I honestly, I don't understand it. It
wasn't It was not that special. It was not worth
four hundred dollars. I don't get how all of American
pizzas was created off of this sauce, because I've tasted
better sauce at pizza. Got it so odd that it
was built up that much. The crack corn salad was amazing,
the cheesecake was off the chiseein.
Speaker 1 (39:57):
But that's not with the Ralse sauce, not with.
Speaker 2 (39:59):
The Rowse sauce, which made sense. I'm still confused by that.
But the bill was four hundred, and the bill it
was connected to the hotel. It was a hotel restaurant.
So again they hit the card and we have now
built the folio up to like forty eight hundred dollars.
And so we go to the manager at the morning
and we go, sir, all this ass dude, all of
(40:22):
this was free. It was all paid for. I have
no idea why you double billed us in the hotel
I have no idea why if we're credited for breakfast
while we were hit with it. And also why every
time we got into the bar and got two drinks
was there and a piece of food? Was it two
hundred dollars? Because you guys were trying to overcharge us
to make sure that there was a buffer, to make
sure that the money always stayed below them, this buffer
(40:44):
of fifty dollars. We said, are you almost maxed out
our credit card? For God's sakes?
Speaker 1 (40:49):
And we can't even get to the airport man, we
can't afford a context.
Speaker 2 (40:51):
And I said, how can you explain yourself?
Speaker 1 (40:53):
That's really loud?
Speaker 2 (40:54):
Oh? What is it? Oh? I said, how can you
explain yourself? And he said, sir, it's all gonna fall off.
And I said, you know it's gonna fall off. You're
I'm gonna punch you so hard in your skin. It's
gonna fall off as long as well with this bill.
(41:14):
And so we leave that place.
Speaker 1 (41:16):
And the stress, I mean, we know how stressed you are,
so you are stressing. You're trying to play it cool now,
but the stress I can just imagine was just boiling up.
Speaker 2 (41:27):
And so then the payoff is the days later, she
heads up her travel agent, and travel agent's kind of like, wow,
that is crazy, thanks for the info. It should all
fall off. Everything will fall off, man, everything falls off.
Two days later, an act of from God himself, it
all falls off and we ended up only being billed.
(41:48):
I believe the final count was nine hundred dollars. Oh
my god, the original price of the things that we
paid for with American currency US dollars that should have
originally been charged instead of this max out five thousand
dollars double charge with a booking with that falling off, what's.
Speaker 1 (42:04):
Gonna fall off, is my thin head.
Speaker 2 (42:07):
We got out of there with our lives, our freedom,
and our pocketbooks, but we were at one point overcharge
five thousand dollars. Round of applause.
Speaker 1 (42:19):
I was really, I mean really, I thought you were
gonna say and it didn't fall off, and that travel
agent ripped us off. That's where I thought we were going.
But I am so glad for your sanity, for your
pocketbook that it fell off.
Speaker 2 (42:35):
That needs to be a T shirt. It'll fall off.
Don't worry, sir, it'll fall off. Dude.
Speaker 1 (42:40):
No, no, no, everything we do needs to be a T shirt.
Speaker 2 (42:42):
That guy Quote of the year. Oh, I'm what do
you say, I'm not paying for it. Don't worry, I'm
paying for it. Somewhere at breakfast, he's yelling at the
lady with his paper out in Mimosa.
Speaker 1 (42:57):
But we never make the shirts say it, and we
don't do it. We don't design anything. We need merch.
These people want merch.
Speaker 2 (43:04):
What was Justin's water cooler quote when he went to
the water cooler at the restaurant?
Speaker 1 (43:11):
Oh, can I buy them shots?
Speaker 2 (43:13):
There was a quote there though I don't know, at
the water cooler, meet me at the water cooler. Hey,
get drinks at the water cooler.
Speaker 1 (43:20):
Get drinks at the water cooler. I mean, that's some
good stories. Yeah, I love it.
Speaker 2 (43:25):
Yeah, but it did. It did dampen the trip a
little bit, knowing that entire time you got the the
money situation.
Speaker 1 (43:33):
Those cambio is that all your stories?
Speaker 2 (43:35):
Do we cover the moment? I had to oh, stanching guys, Oh.
Speaker 1 (43:37):
Hold on, we'll take a break, and stanching guy returns.
Speaker 2 (43:43):
So I was I hate to take up the whole time,
but it was fine. Man.
Speaker 1 (43:46):
We did my vacation on Monday. We do yours today.
Speaker 2 (43:49):
So Sunday morning. We're back in America, and I don't.
Speaker 1 (43:53):
Think you ever left America. I'm pretty sure Miami is
in America. Great boy, but hey, welcome back to America.
Speaker 2 (44:03):
So Stanching Guy, as you will remember, his specialty is
being a personal assistant to the stars. When do the
stars like to play late at night? So Stanching Guy
is a late at night guy with Billy. I never
saw him til about six pm. Here comes Stanching Guy,
and then Stanging Guy would probably go all night. So
that's Stanching Guy's got job. I'm pulling up to work
(44:24):
on Sunday, before we're back from vacation. I go into
work at five am, so I had to set everything
up for the big show. Big show. I pull up.
I'm gonna swing by McDonald's. Man, going that drive through,
get me a hash bron have some food brain power
after Miami trip. So I'm sitting there in the drive through,
got the windows down. It feels great out And in
(44:44):
the Adele's parking lot right next to McDonald's there's a Limo,
massive Limo. Couple couple guys, and there's a car parked
right next to the Limo, and they're getting in a fight.
And there's two guys in the car and the limo
has is maybe five.
Speaker 3 (45:02):
And all I hear is, Hey, man, get back in
the car, Get back in the limo.
Speaker 2 (45:07):
It's not worth it.
Speaker 3 (45:08):
I'm telling you, Hey, hey, seriously, get back in the
get in the limo. It's not getting worth it. Listen, Mark,
it's not getting.
Speaker 2 (45:15):
Worth it, man, Not tonight, not tonight. It was stanching
guy and he's got this dude, this big dude, it
had to have been a titan. He's got him and
he's freaking blocking this titan. Let's just say, from fighting
this dude in this car at five in the morning
in the Adel's parking.
Speaker 1 (45:33):
Lot, stanching Guy strikes.
Speaker 2 (45:36):
He is every week guy was hired to be a
personal assistant with this dude that had running out a
limo and just keep things in order and probably handle
the drinks, handle the tips and stuff.
Speaker 3 (45:46):
Hey man, it's not worth it. You don't want to
fight in Mark, get back in the limo. Yeah, get
back in the limo. But you know, you know, you know,
he wanted to be like, hey, seriously, though, man, let's
get these stanchions up.
Speaker 2 (45:59):
You know what.
Speaker 1 (45:59):
I'm so did you swing over there and a stanching guy?
What's going on?
Speaker 2 (46:05):
So I was caught in the line. Apparently there's a
lot of people that were hammered on Fourth of July
weekend and I couldn't leave my order. And by the
time I pulled out, it was over with. Stanching guy
had handled it.
Speaker 1 (46:16):
But that just shows you he can do everything. He
gets you VIP access, he ropes off the area, he
breaks up fights, he keeps you out of jail. Stanching
guy is worth every penny you pay him.
Speaker 2 (46:28):
I was like, man, how's he going to keep this
guy from fighting this random dude in the car? They
were probably talking trash to each other, and then you
just know he was like, what is that a restaurant
at Dallas? Hey, seriously, can we get some stanchions on it?
Speaker 1 (46:44):
Oh? Man, that's great.
Speaker 2 (46:46):
Man. Well, welcome back, welcome back, Thank you.
Speaker 1 (46:49):
Feels good to be back in America, doesn't it. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (46:52):
I mean, if you go in the ocean, are you
out there still in America?
Speaker 1 (46:56):
That's international waters. Actually, I don't know at what point,
like a question, at what point does it become international waters?
Speaker 2 (47:03):
Way more than that.
Speaker 1 (47:05):
Like is that strip of water right there. American water.
Speaker 2 (47:09):
You can't own the water. My parents have a lake
house and you don't own the water. You own the
stuff underneath the water, but you don't own the water.
People can go right in front of your house and fish. Huh,
so the water is international.
Speaker 1 (47:21):
Well there's here's a crazy thing, lake LBJ. This dude
so talking to the you know, owner of the place,
and gonna build a.
Speaker 2 (47:30):
New dock right at your lakefront.
Speaker 1 (47:33):
Yeah, at the lakefront. And he said, yeah. What's weird though,
is years ago, years and years and years and years ago,
some dude bought the first two feet of the lake.
So whoever wants to put a dock up has to
(47:54):
contact him and pay him between five and twelve thousand
dollars to put a dock up. The city allowed this,
so he owns the whole strip. And I guess there
were so many complaints. I don't. I mean, what a
smart business investment or what a scam he had. Someone
that worked in the city office is like, hey, dude,
(48:14):
if we do this, you can get rich for the
rest of your life. If you're gonna have the same
if your plans are to keep the deck the same size,
you don't have to pay him, but forever people were
paying him five thousand dollars so they could buy a
build a dock.
Speaker 2 (48:27):
You know what that's called what he did, you're a businessman.
Speaker 1 (48:30):
It's called scam.
Speaker 2 (48:31):
No, there's a name for it. What I just learned
about it reoccurring revenue, motherker, And that's what we're gonna
do with Patreon.
Speaker 1 (48:42):
What's that?
Speaker 2 (48:43):
It's how we're gonna actually make money at this podcast.
Speaker 1 (48:45):
How's that? What is Patreon?
Speaker 2 (48:48):
So we would do dirty content and we would put
it on Patreon and people would have reoccurring revenue that
we would get ninety nine cents a month. We would
get ten cents. Say there's uh, uh, what do we
have to do? Ten listeners? We would get a dollar
and we would do dirty content and put it on Patreon.
(49:10):
I'm reoccurring revenue, mother.
Speaker 1 (49:14):
I'm not doing it. We don't have we don't have
the We were gonna build up our YouTube. We haven't
even done that, and now you want to start Parthenon.
I can't do Parthenon. I I don't know what Parthenon is.
I don't know where you find Parthenon. I. I'm not
doing it.
Speaker 2 (49:28):
I gotta be really. They just hit me up with
an email today. It's top of mind.
Speaker 1 (49:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (49:33):
I said, would you be interested into it? And I said,
let me talk business with lunchbox.
Speaker 1 (49:37):
No, guys, we're not gonna do Parthenon. I don't know
what parthenon is. If it costs money, I ain't in it.
I'm in it. I'm not in it.
Speaker 2 (49:45):
My name's Paul. It's up to y'all. You and Arnold. Uh,
we would do strict content where it would just be
Arnold talking about his life.
Speaker 1 (49:54):
I I my name is Nick and that sounds like
a no, that's not it. No, uh yeah, no, it
doesn't sound good.
Speaker 2 (50:03):
My last name's Pickett. And I'm gonna say that's dumb.
Speaker 1 (50:06):
That's dumb. Yeah, all right, but yeah, Hey, welcome back, guys.
Happy Wednesday. I'm gonna limp on down to the car,
and I'm gonna limp limp on down to my house

but what would you say, Miami?
Speaker 2 (50:28):

It was hot. The Nope, they don't believe in air conditioning.
Every every hote. Uh. If we wanted to do a dinner,

Roused and the other one was Betsy, and we went
inside to both those. Every other one their tables are
only outside.
Speaker 1 (50:59):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (50:59):
I fun run the beach because that's where I actually
saw people and it's like seeing the community, but like
sitting at a pool with a bunch of rich people
for five days.
Speaker 1 (51:09):
Oh father, how are you doing?
Speaker 2 (51:11):
Yes, father, watching me do this. I'm gonna dive in rate.
How great my dive is?
Speaker 1 (51:15):
Hey, kid, save it.
Speaker 2 (51:16):
I'm on vacation every time, father, mother, watch me dive?
Please video take me take a flick. I want to
send it back to England. People from all over the world.
But I mean it was, it was. I mean we'll
probably never go back.
Speaker 1 (51:30):
Really.
Speaker 2 (51:31):
Yeah, our quote was good. That place way too expensive,
got it way too expensive.
Speaker 1 (51:37):
But it's still it's changed a lot because you went
three years ago, so it looks amazing, right.
Speaker 2 (51:42):
No, there's been no updates. The beach has. From what
I saw, it was all turned up. I guess it
was a storm so and then because of that maybe
it pushed the back so you can't really walk the sand.
To do the sand, you're just I'm the whole time.
It's like a frickin tough mutter.
Speaker 1 (51:57):
So what you're saying is Miami is no longer we're
a hot spot.
Speaker 2 (52:01):
I think it falls off the map.
Speaker 1 (52:03):
All right, you heard it here first breaking news.
Speaker 2 (52:06):
Wanted to go to a Marlins game one day? Why
just to mix it up, But it would have taken
the whole day to do it. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (52:14):
Are they even close to Miami? I mean, I know
they're Miami Marlins, but are they how close to that
we're in like the Tampa Bay Rays are in Saint Petersburg.
Speaker 2 (52:24):
Chick said, we could have done it in twenty minutes.
Our bartender, Oh and you got a lot of that too,
where you go, Hey, what's your favorite drink? Oh, I'm
a recovery alcoholic. Oh great, why are you at a bar?
We're asking for recommendations about drinking, and now we feel
bad about drinking. Check please.
Speaker 1 (52:40):
Yeah, I feel awkward now too, that buzz.
Speaker 2 (52:46):
There was soccer in town, though I could have saw
PSG at hard Rock stay you have been legit.
Speaker 1 (52:52):
Yeah, gotta got cheap tickets. And you know what I
just realized. I thought I didn't think we played Miami
this year. We played Miami here Nashville the last game
of the season.
Speaker 2 (53:01):
Dude, I'll be scalping that.
Speaker 1 (53:02):
But I'm you know, what I'm worried about is that
the seedings for the playoffs will be already you know, intact,
so Messy won't play.
Speaker 2 (53:12):
Our guys are hot, though they're real hot. So the
thing though we're one of the top five oldest teams,
really a lot of old legs. Twenty six is the
average age? Is that old? Yeah? Thing?
Speaker 1 (53:23):
Didn't realize that. Didn't realize that. Then I'm real old,
all right, man? Yeah, yeah,
