Speaker 1 (00:04):
Are you yo? I'm ready. Ray you boys ready? Yeah? Yeah,
I'm ready. Man. All right, hadn't it? Arnold? You're gonna
come in here. I'm right up here. Don't be afraid here.
Hit the dial, turn it down, first time doing it? Ye,
hit that red button right there. It all started when

(00:26):
a dumbass met another dumbass, and they met another dumbass,
and they became the dumbass tree of the end. All right,
I'm gonna do it live. Arnold. You ain't got the
voice I do. Oh, the one too sore loser? What up, everybody?
I am lunchbox and I know the most about sports,
so I'll give you the sports facts, my sports opinions,

(00:47):
because I'm pretty much a sports genius. What's up, everyone,
I'm Eddie and I know the least about sports. But
I'm your average sports fan, your sports watcher. I don't
know the who's who's and I don't know the what's
what's y'all it says. And I'm from the North. I'm
in Alpha Male. I live on the West side of
Nashville with Beza. Right now, that Arnold, we do have
the white picket fence excited for this beautiful weekend of basketball,

(01:11):
and I'm actually going to Arizona, So I don't even
know why I said that. And I'm gonna be watching
spring training. I'm gonna be doing some research on beat
to streak players. Guys over to you, you're going to Zona. Yeah,
what are you going to Arizona for? Yeah, family's on
spring break with kids, and my parents are retired and
they traveled out there. So I'm going for forty eight hours.
Boomer is gonna be in Arizona. Yep. I'm gonna try

(01:32):
and squeeze in some golf. Probably not, it's a nice thought.
And then we're definitely gonna go spring training. That reminds
me every time we go to the beach. I'm like,
I'm gonna take my clubs. I mean, now, there's nice
courses out there. Smart never play being belly dude. When
we go to Florida, Hey man, let's try and squeeze
in some golf. Woke up, hungovers balls, Hey man, I'm
just gonna try to live today. We ain't golfing. No.
The dumbest is when you say I'm gonna take my

(01:53):
clubs to Vegas, Because Garrett Greg and I did it
and we were like, yeah, we're gonna play. We got
tea time, and we never got him out of the room. Coach,
are you drunk? No? I just sound like crap. I
don't know. You had a tea time in Vegas, brought
all your clubs out there and didn't go. Yeah, that's
even more depressing than no, no, no, no. We were
at the blackjack table. It was four am and our

(02:15):
tea time was nine thirty and oh god, and Greg
and Jacob were still drinking double jack Man on the
rocks and it was just like oh. And that next morning,
Greg he went to bed at five thirty, got up
at seven thirty and he was puking blood and we're
like what, I don't think we're gonna go golf. And

(02:35):
he came down to breakfast. He is he dead? No, no,
Greg's still alive. But he came down to breakfast and
he was like, man, I don't I was kind of
puking blood for a minute, and I was like, oh,
really goes yeah, I'm gonna go to the bathroom real quick.
He went back to bed and we missed golf never
and we got our clubs. We were up on the
twenty sixth floor. We dragged him all the way up
to the twenty sixth flour. They never came out of
our room. Jeez, dude. The douchebags in Vegas they walk

(02:58):
around with golf clubs and the because you know that
win always because the courses right there, right there, dude.
But I am though when I when you're all kind
of drinking, maybe maybe it's just that fantasy in your mind.
You want to cut that to be you. So like
sometimes me and Bayes are like, oh, day three of drinking, pools, gambling.
I wish I could mix it up with golf. I
jealous of those guys. We did it. We did do

(03:18):
it one time, one time, we did it. It does
it not mix it up because you can't just do pools, drinks,
babes and gamble for four straight days or three. Well,
it's nice, but it depends on what time you're playing.
We were we were like nine am. Really, oh yeah,
we were up early. I remember us driving back with
some dude that worked for a big company and it

(03:41):
was like sunset. We do we play play? Holy crap,
we played twice that trip. Now I'm jealous. I've never
played in Vegas. It was, well, here's the thing. It
was exhausting because if you got a nine am t
time the night before, you're not going hard, you're chilling.
You have to chill. But we're not hitting tiesto till
two am anymore. Well, this was back when we were
still hitting tiesto at two am. It's the problem. Yeah,

(04:05):
that's that's the exact problem is we were still hitting tiestos.
That's the one where we were winning. For the cabin
and the dude. Yeah, they were pulling a guy out
of another cabin. Yes, like we were listened ray. We
were waiting for a cab to take us to the
freaking golf course and they were putting a guy in
a wheelchair out of another cab that early in the morning.
They were dragging him. The cab driver was dragging him

(04:28):
out of the car and can we use your clubs
as a stretcher brace for this guy. Yeah, they had
the valet guys and the cab guy trying to pull
this dude out of the cab because he was like
dead body. He was like door guy is a fun
position until you have to start dragging people out of
your hotel and then they puke on you. And it
was just but yes, we played golf, and we played

(04:49):
him golf courses way away from the strip. We had
to stop somewhere get sunscreen. You come back all lobstered
because we didn't have sunscreens and we made the cab
stop it like a Walgreens. We didn't got sunscreen. Where did?
The course courses were phenomenal. It was beautiful, is it?
It's this is a dumb question. It's real grass, right, yeah,
it's real grass. But I think they paint it. How

(05:11):
the hell happy paint green in the desert? Great question?
They have to paint it there. I thought it was
gonna be dumb. That was actually a good one. Hey, coach, listen,
he can give you a tip if you do play
in Arizona. The break always goes away from the mountains.
Remember that if you're putting towards the mountains. That's not
pill Okay. Always always, just like Nance whenever he's on

(05:35):
CBS on a Sunday, ball always goes away from the ocean.
Oh it does, yeah, okay, it would be ball towards
the ocean, mountains, away from the mountains. You gonna think
if you're putting up a mountain, just think about it.
Growing up up a mounta going up right. But I
never remember what nance says because I'm never gonna play
pebble beach. I don't know that a few people are

(05:56):
lucky enough to play it but actually count their blessings
and understand how charmed they are. But you should think
about it every time you're around water, that it has
to slope towards the wall. You've been a pond coach? No, yes, really, yes,
Well I was gonna say we don't play any courses
that are next to a lake or a river. But
the only time that's not that's not the case. What
about two rivers is when you look at it and

(06:18):
it looks like it's going away from the water because
it's so like they've built the green where it's like, oh,
a big mountain towards the water, and it's actually just
gonna level it out. Are we ever playing that competitive
of games where this advice matters? Yeah, And I'll hang
up and listen. I mean, don't you want to make putts?
Do you want to make your score look better? You choose?
Game was pretty dope, though Lunch ended up beating you
by a couple when we all played the other day.

(06:39):
Yeah no, and then we what's funny is the strong
grass and I go, he's gonna need a hell of
a shot out of this or it's over. And I
believe you. You didn't duff it, but it wasn't on
the green. So then you lost. Yeah, because he had
a straight shot. I think I was down two strokes.
It was down to strokes. A miracle and then lunch
thanks for the jinks on me. I hit a beautiful
fairway shot and then a pretty decent second shot. He goes,

(07:01):
oh my gosh, you're on the green. You're on the green.
I was forty feet over the green. I was like,
thanks for the jigs, dude. Sorry, I couldn't see because
you went over the sand trap and it looks like
you landed on the green. Look like that. When I
hit that puppy, I knew I almost at the clubhouse.
And what was funny is when we showed up to golf.
We walk in and the guy, oh lunchbox at day.
We're like, oh, hell yeah, he's about to hook us up,

(07:24):
you know, like big fan, good to see you. Yeah cool,
has a five minute conversation with us. That'll be thirty
eight dollars. Oh, what what about friends and family disc
All right? Did we say raised coming too? I don't know.
He gave me the same more deal. Hey are you
ray Moon doll Yeah? What's up man? Oh they were
gonna pay for you. Oh cool, cool, cool, that'll be

(07:46):
thirty eight dollars. What thought. Yeah, we've gone through that
a couple of times. It was down as thinking one
day one day, one day like why would you I mean,
it's a city course. Why wouldn't you care? Why would
you care? Just give us a free round, man. And
the reason and we have this feeling and thought process
is because we have buddies in the industry who always
get free golf always. If you want to look up

(08:08):
Bucky god Bolt from Austin, Texas, never pay for golf.
He has not paid for golf in twenty five years.
He also was a coach at UT right, yes, but
he doesn't so what I don't water polo? No. No.
He coached football at UT but I don't know what,
like you, maybe running backs coach. He was Ricky Williams

(08:29):
running back coach. Really, if I I could be making
that up all the times you guys have played golf
together or not once you asked him what he used
to do. Why do he was a coach? We talk
about other things, right, And he was still good friends
with coach because I played I played golf with Ricky
Williams because they were good friends. So he would bring
Ricky to play golf. Play low key flash. Why have
you never told this story? I've never heard this in

(08:50):
my life. Instead, we're learning about a kid at the playground. Hey,
go play on the monkey bars. Hell of a story. Well,
what how did you play? Not very good? He had
Brandon clubs that he was still taking the plastic off
every hole, like he pulled up the whole number one.
Hold on, man, how long would you guys play? Like
seven hours or what? He had gotten a brand new

(09:16):
set of clubs for free. And first all he's unwrapping
the driver, second hold unwrapping the driver, wrapping the dubie.
And every once in a while he would connect and
he would go a mile, But a lot of times
it was a lot of is it a Pitts mile
where it goes really really far? But usually way to

(09:37):
the right, cook to the left. Every once in a
while he did straight and far, And then for the
most part it was a little and those straight and
fars or only beneficial is on a short part four.
Other than that, when do you need a straight and
deep shot? I knew I wasn't a hol Oh, I mean,

(10:04):
I mean straight and far as ideal coach time. If
you watch the PGA Tour, they go they try to
go far all the time. They want to be eighty
yards from the green. If they can be, the farther
the better. But the funniest thing about golf. Before you
hit the ball, man, let's crush it. Let's crush you.
Let's crush it. After you hit the ball, the guy
that's on the fairway is the one you're the most
jealous of. Instantly the second after oh yeah, I mean

(10:29):
the second a win, you great shot. It doesn't even
matter if Lunch hit it one hundred and fifty yards,
we're like, hey, dude, great jobs. Whoa, whoa, I hit
him more than one hundred and fifty. Now, now you're
a driver one seventy five, you do kind of crush
it now. But also the guys in the tree, uh,
he was the one trying to crush it. Another guy's
right next to the creek trying to crush it. We're
all jealous of middle boy. Let me tell you, though,
what's crazy about golf is if you're gonna play eighteen

(10:50):
holes of golf, you better be ready to swing. Hey,
some famous poets say that, or what raymon? Dog? Come on,
speaking of golf, I'm playing today, you are? Yeah, I
would hope. It's seventy this morning my phone. I didn't
get invite. I didn't. I didn't invite you. Who are
you going with random kid Cody and his friends? They

(11:12):
invited me his friends. I don't know. That's what I'm saying.
You go with a random group of people. I just
go to McCay by yourself. You go with random people,
don't you? Justin? Oh? Just justin? Oh I do? But no,
I go to McCay by myself. I get going with
random kid Cody. If you if you're in the cart together,
that makes sense. Well, yeah, we'll be in the car together.
And it's two of his co workers. So I'm like,
all right, it's that one guy. I don't even know

(11:33):
his name. Yeah, Andrew, Andrew Andrew. He likes to party
down Eddy. You remember we'd go to Chili's and Luch
would bring his random soccer friends. We've never met before.
Who are these guys? Those are my best friends. I've
known him for five years. This is Charles? Who is this? Who?
Who is this guy? You know Timmy? Now I know

(11:54):
I didn't he. There was Charlie. There was Sean. There's James.
There was Nick. I mean John Won that hung out
my wife at the pool in Vegas. Was Sean? The
same guy at UFC night where he walked from downtown. Yeah,
he was so drunk. He was so drunk and he
is a big Connor McGregor fan, and he wanted to
see Connor and he couldn't get a cab, and so

(12:16):
he walked from Broadway all the way to my freaking house,
which is like two and a half miles, and he
was sweating. He goes, dude, I was running. He was
so hammered. He goes, I was thinking, it's not that far,
It's not that far, and he goes, it's a long
damn way. He still talked to him. Yeah, he was
a cool dude. We were all kind of settled down.
I had a girlfriend. You guys had wives and stuff.
He was still the single one given us those stories

(12:38):
about what nightlife is like. Is he still single? He's
got a girlfriend, but he's like her. You met her,
I've met her a couple of times. She's nice. I mean,
does he play soccer with you anymore? No, he retired
from soccer. He was playing volleyball. He volleyball is when
I met him. Yeah, he was playing kickball. I mean
he still does it all. I mean he's yeah, he
still goes out all the time. And I'm just like
cool man, like, yeah, let's grab a let's grab a

(13:00):
drink sometimes. Living that life. He has, living that life,
and he has season tickets in Nashville, SC. I mean,
he's just living that young kid free life. Did you
hook him up with those tickets since you're a shareholder? No,
he got his own take. Like last year, I gave
him last year, I gave him a year last year,
I gave him some of my tickets some games I
couldn't go. And then he was like, man, I gotta

(13:21):
get me season tickets. So he bit the bullet and
he bought two season tickets. Are his in the sun?
His Well, it doesn't matter because this year they only
have two day games. Oh then they learned that last year.
It was like this is so stupid. So and they
got Apple TV as a sponsor, so now they are.
I saw that on the Jersey Night games. Yeah, and also,
uh those games, what was I gonna say, the Sun

(13:43):
Moon Stars. Oh the rain game when it was pouring
the rain the other day and there's forty degrees. There
was a ton of people there. Yeah, I was there.
They play in the rain. Yeah, as long as there's
no lightning. Huh. So it's just like football. Yeah yeah,
but how do they fix the turf? Like, didn't that
destroy the turf? Dude? That grass is so good they
have done. I mean I don't know that they don't

(14:05):
take thinking it's so good that in the mud you
would destroy it and they would like just piss off
all the groundskeepers. That's why it's not no way it's real. Oh,
it's got to be absolutely the way they slide on it,
it's got to be real. It's real. And what's funny
is have you walked on it? No? All I know
is a Titan stadium that grass Little pellets come up
that means not real grass. No, that's fertilizer. But Titans

(14:30):
will have real grass probably at their new stadium. That
new stadium though, I mean that's five years out. If
not more, maybe more a long way away. I really
think we'll still be in Nashville kicking around the same
can in five years, I hope. So. I mean, this
podcast probably won't be around in five years, but we'll
probably still be here. Track record shows that this podcast
will go the way of the Dodo bird. Really, I

(14:51):
mean you just left and your next or what, Well,
everybody gets the itch lunch. Hey man, Right, it's been
good man. You guys get into a massive fight after
I leave. We already had an experience without you for
twenty minutes doing the podcast. It was different, man, when
the last one. Yeah, yeah, it's it's just interesting what happened. Well,
it most like mom and dad broke up, and then

(15:12):
you're just trying to have dinner and there's not three people,
there's two. The conversation is different. It's not as like
you guys aren't crazy and interrupting me, and it's just weird.
There's not as much like this podcast is gonna be
shorter because three people aren't talking, so only two people. Wait, wait,
I'm gonna leave, and then finally it's gonna be shorter.
I've been asking for this thing to be shorter since

(15:32):
the beginning, and after I leave, you're gonna make it shorter.
So if it was shorter, you would stay. Man, think
about it. Coach your post. By the way of Garoppolo.
Garoppolo got the free sex, I said, The sore Loser's
Nation is prepared to offer Eddie a similar deal. Hilarious. No,

(15:53):
that dinner thing. When we left and me and my
brother left for college, I distinctly remember my sister saying, Man,
dinners are awkward without you and Rob, just me, mom
and dad setting around at table. It used to be
five people. Sometimes we had the foster kid. So she goes,
it is a lot of silence. So that's the podcast. Yeah,
do you guys sat around the kitchen table every night
and had dinner every single we had sporting event, sure,

(16:16):
but every single night we had dinner. We try to
do that. Well, I think I understand now they're young.
I'm saying, when you're in high school, Well, I think
that's when it's even better. Right, when you're older you
have real conversations. We were forced yet older. All our
friends would always say, oh, couch, I always do dinner there.
Oh in my bed. I had never heard of that.
We nobody was even allowed to go and watch TV

(16:36):
goes off. You had to sit at the table, talk
and eat, which was fine, it was awesome. I think
we stopped eating dinner at the kitchen table when I
was in fifth grade because we had sportings stuff every night.
We had sad We had functions every single night, and
we were never at home knocked about his girlfriend. What

(16:58):
if everybody that's batters. I don't think he did, but
unless they did something about it and didn't tell me,
But my mom still they tell you. My mom still
tells me to this. She's like, man, I just I
really wish we'd have had more family dinners. Like she's
really sad that we were always on the go doing stuff.
That's so sad. That's deep. See, you should have had

(17:19):
more family dinners. But I mean we had we played sports.
I played every sport there was. But you could still
have family dinners five nights a week. Wow, we would
have dinner at seven eight o'clock at night. Sports practice
was after school. You have one or two games a week,
so five of the nights a week you ever in dinner.
Ray were yours forceful? Though? Like? Were your parents? Like?
Sit down, you have to sit out at the faw.
We weren't rebellious, so we always it was just known

(17:40):
you had family dinner. I like that, and I don't
think really friends were allowed. It wasn't. It was just boom,
this is our family time. Then you hang out with friends. See,
because we had I mean baseball field. You had the
five fifteen games or whatever, and then the seventh thirty games.
So if you had a seventh thirty game, you're getting
home at ten fifteen. There ain't you ain't eating dinner.

(18:01):
You eat dinner at the ballpark. I believe we would
sit down at nine thirty and eat dinner. We always
would at my house. It was just me, my brother,
and my sister and my mom. We would eat dinner
like a seven and then my dad would show up
drunk about eleven, and then he'd start cooking up steaks
and then we'd do dinner all over again. That was

(18:24):
my house. We did the ball bark, or we went
through the drive through at McDonald's, Taco Bell, Windy's, and
or pizza. See, we didn't have fast food no, zero
fast foods. Zero, dude. I didn't have Taco Bell first
time until I was in college and my Buddy goes, Hey,
I'm gonna get some Kcyda. You know that fourth meal?
I go, what do you Taco Bell? I've never had
that before? He goes, I lived off of kcd as

(18:46):
in high school and never had one. You Is that
why you love Casadias so much? Probably? And because the
first time I'll never forget the first time in Chicago
went and got Kasadias. That was the best tasting caseyd
I've ever had. Ray is like my children, because my
children now are addicted to Casodia's because we got them somewhere.
I don't know where we got them, and they everywhere

(19:07):
we go, Dad, can I get a chicken Caseodia? They
don't have. They have burgers here. Great kids. I mean
we go anywhere because of Ray. Yeah. Well, I mean
it's like Ray. Ray. They have it for the first time,
and Ray is like a little kid. He still has
every where you go. Ray's like I just have the Caseodia.
Anybody that knows me. If I'm at a bar, it's
the bar food has to have a Caseodia or I'm
in a bad mood. Coach, I'm like you, though, I

(19:28):
didn't have Taco Bell till college. Yeah, but not not
because I didn't eat fast food. I just didn't eat
that crap. Ever, like my parents, they made Mexican food, right,
So there was also Taco John's. No, there wasn't. There wasn't. No.
Maybe it's a northern Ta John. No, that's that's a
rip off and you should probably never eat. I'm glad

(19:49):
that where is Taco john Never heard of it. It's northern.
It has to be Google Taco tacom Wueno. I tell
you what. Though we've talked about the Mexican here in
uh Nashville, it's not that great. I found a spot
that's actually here we go, Here we go. Taco Johns
is a three point nine out of five stars with

(20:11):
twelve views. That's almost four Wow, coach, what was good
at Taco Johns? I didn't go. There's a Taco John's
in White House, Tennessee. Let's go, boys, that's crazy. Okay,
Let's take a break, and when we come back, I'm
gonna tell you about the epidem epidemic at my household
that I don't know how to fix. Twenty Are you sick? No,

(20:32):
it's not me being sick. Oh, I mean I do
sounds sounds sick. Is that the epidemic. No, it's something else.
We'll be right back. Epidemic means like a sickness, right,
it feels like a sickness, But that's what epidemic is.
I don't know. Epidemic is like a catastrophe or a problem,
a pandemic. Oh, you're right, yeahs I apologize that you

(20:56):
say that, but no, my four year old has to
doing this thing. We'll watch a game and he'll be like,
he'll pick a team he's cheering for, and it's like,
oh dad, I'm cheering for the blue infectious disease. Yes,
you needed to say pandemic. An epidemic is the rapid
spread of a disease. Oh. I was like, I know

(21:19):
this doesn't sound right. Well, then it's not an epidemic
as though some other kind of demic, some kind of demic.
It's some kind of problem going on in my house.
So my four year old he will watch a game
and he'll pick a team he's cheering for, and then
when they lose that I was just tricking you. I
was cheering for the white team. Yeah. That sounds like

(21:41):
a wagon jumper. Yeah, And I'm like no, no no, no, no,
you're cheering for the blue team. It's okay. They No, no, Dad,
I was just tricking you. I was going for the
white team. Coach. I've been going through this for four years. Oh,
I think every kid does it. Boomer has the T
shirt of the teams to win the championship, Washington Nationals.
Give me some others championships. He doesn't do Kansas. He

(22:02):
hasn't done them when they won the championship, the Chiefs Bucks,
he had an anti de coopo Jersey Chiefs. And then
he's got wattle socks but no, no champ for a waddle.
And yes there is that, like because I grew up
that way, like Montana was the king growing up, so
I like the furry curry staff. Yeah, but when you

(22:24):
get older you start realizing like no, no no, no, I
need my team. That's when I found the Cowboys. That's
when we fell in love. But I'm coach. I was
dealing with that too, my son that I we adopted,
he for some reason has to do the same thing
where he's like, oh, oh, who's up, Creton's winning. I'm
going for Creton. I love Creton, but but you don't

(22:45):
even know. And then Crton starts losing. I was just joking.
I don't like Creyton. I'm like, dude, that's not how
it works. And then it's funny because my other kids
they get it. My other kids are like, no, no no,
no, no no, no, pick a team, root for that team,
win or lose. Their your team. But that kind of
means that it's ingrained in us to be a wagon jumper.
We want to be fans of the great team. So

(23:06):
a team you see a team lunched. Fans of the Bears.
Were you a fan of them when they first were winning.
I was a fan when I was a kid because
my grandparents lived in Chicago and my grandpa liked the Bears.
Because I was kind of a fan of the Bulls,
I believe only because they were winning well, because of
George for sure, everybody, like everyone, everyone was a Bulls
fan because of Michael Jordan. And then then told me
that they were on what channel, WGNY. He said, what, George,

(23:28):
the basketball games are on wgn He goes, yeah, usually
it does crime TV or something, but sometimes they put
on the Bulls games and it was a mind blown.
I started watching the Bulls games twice a week. I
didn't understand WGN, Like it was like we were living
in Chicago in South Texas. It was awesome, but you
know what I mean, like everyone in the US lived
in Chicago watching w Yeah, why was WGN available to everybody? Well?

(23:51):
There was also there was an LA Morning Show. It
was like, let's just call it the LA Morning stuff
and it was it was on and then it got canceled.
But it was broadcasting nationwide and they showed palm trees
in the background, So that was your morning. It wasn't
a Regis or something like that. It started at maybe eleven.
It was a dope show, but it was only it
was California. But like at ten pm, if you're watching,

(24:12):
you're watching Chicago New Yes, oh yeah, And it'd be
like a man was shot on Michigan Street Avenue. It
was four people murdered last night right outside of I'm
go inside. They said somebody got killed. There was a
robbery at the White Castle. A gun did go off.
One employee was hurt but is expected to survive. I

(24:34):
will tell you a WGN seeing those Cubs games, first
time I ever saw a freaking hottie on the TV.
Blondie got the cans hanging out and she had double
beers and I said, I said, the second I can
drink and I can get out of this small town.
I'm going to Chicago and go into a Cubs game,
and you find the blondie with double boobs, and dang it.
I moved to Chicago, went to college there, then find

(24:56):
the blondie. I think I found a brunette, married a blondie.
But I will say my four year old does get
into the game. Like his friend at school. His dad
went to Auburn, so when no, he just went to
school there. And so we were watching the game Auburn
whoever the heck they were playing in the first round.
I don't even remember Iowa, and he is jumping up

(25:19):
and down on the couch. All the Auburns come on,
the Auburns like he had never heard of Well I
tried to, but he's still but he had never heard
of Auburn. And so I said, oh, you know, Matthew's
dad went there, and he's like, that's who I'm cheering for. Mama.
We wanted the Auburns to win, and he acted like
it was their favorite team of all time, jumping up

(25:40):
and down on the couch, jumping up and down on
the couch, all into it. Running. Every time they would score,
he would run to the kitchen and tell my wife,
the Auburn scored two points, the Auburn scored two points,
and then when they lose, I wasn't cheering for Auburn.
I was cheering for Houston. And I told him, next

(26:01):
time you do that, you're gonna go to time out. Good.
It's serious. But the also his parents back in the
day would instill your fans of the team I'm fans of,
so you need to start being the authoritarian. Oh, trust me.
He is a diehard Kansas fan. Diehard, die hard, even
after the loss, even after the loss. Your dad misled
you when when they lost it, they say, I was
just joking dead I like the ring. No, he was
just like, oh, dad, I wanted Kansas to win. He

(26:23):
did do it with Kansas like his hardcore teams. He's hardcore.
But I'm talking like if we're just watching a random game,
he picks a team and then if they lose, he's
tricking me. Let me get this straight. So when you're
you tell your son pick up your room, go pick
up your clothes, put your clothes on your bed and
he says, no, dada no, And you say, son, go

(26:45):
pick up your clothes. No dada no. Do you put
him in time out? Well, he doesn't really have clothes
to pick up. Okay, toys, I hit him no time.
But if he says I was going for Auburn and
then he's like, just kidding, Dad, I wasn't going for Roburn,
you put him in time out? Yea. So you think
that that's more important than him minding you to pick

(27:06):
up his toys. Yeah? Interesting. I think it's a bigger deal.
It shows a character flaw. I mean absolutely does address
a young coach. Well, I really do. And you know
what I say. I tell my kids, I'm like, look,
when you grow up, you're gonna be at a bar
and you do that crap, You're gonna get beat up.
That's a that's a great learning lesson though, And they're

(27:26):
just like, what, yeah, dude, imagine if you're at a bar,
dude has Kansas the whole time and then he flips
it to Arkansas, he would he would get different. Example,
you're gonna get your ass, sorry goes. I mean, you
could have brought you a sweatshirt. You could have gone with,
like Gonzaga against TCU. You could have done that one,
like you're going for TCU the whole time, and then
Gonzaga wins and you're like, I was going for Gonzaga. Dude,

(27:49):
what if a guy did that at the bar? He
would get a kid. And that's what I tell my kids, like,
you will get your butt kicked if you do that
crap when you're older. I cheered you, guys, I wasn't
really cheered to them. You won't have any friends. I
literally tell them those words. See, so it is a
big deal. It's a huge deal. You tell me you're
acting like I'm crazy for it, but you don't put
him in time out first, say no to you about things.

(28:11):
The toys doesn't bother me as much. That character flaw. Yeah,
it's a character flaw. It's like no, no, no, when
you say something, wait un till they start doing the
suck it sign. Then you're gonna put him in time
Excuse me, Yeah, pick up your toys. Yeah, suck it dad.
They say that, man, wait for it. Kids say that,
wait for it. Your kids say no, coach. They would

(28:32):
never say that, but I'm sure some kids. Some kids
do shut out, dade yourself. But yeah, it's so time out,
I mean, and so I I it's very frustrating to me.
But the good news is our soccer season starts this weekend.
Ohnes and no, my son four year old and three

(28:56):
year old. Not again, I'm gonna be the coach again.
Not again. Yeah, snacks, team snacks again. Team snacks is back. No,
you said you didn't want your son didn't like soccer. Okay,
he doesn't. He's playing baseball. Oh that means soccer's going away, lovely. No, no,
it's not going away. All my kids they played soccer
for one season. They're like, screw this crap? Do they
really Yeah, that's your answer. They say, America needs a striker,

(29:19):
that's how we'll win it. Well, guess what. The kids
don't even want to play. No one wants to play soccer, coach, right,
no one does. I guarantee you if you asked your
son do you really want to play, he'd be like, nah,
I really did, And I will say Boomer, when he
was younger, played a little bit of soccer. I didn't.
I never did, but I could kick it back and
forth with him. Thought he was into it a little bit.
I think he gave it up after one summer. That
was seven summers ago. Yeah, because it sucks. It's football, basketball,

(29:43):
baseball just got more going on for the eyes. You
gotta get your son in baseball, dude. I realized because
my son's four and he started baseball. I realized that
you could really get him going at four years old. No,
four is too young. Okay, there's too many rules. Excuse me, no, yeah,
at four years old, there's too many rules for him
to play baseball. What are the rules to stand there

(30:06):
and four years old to play the field at four
years old? A four year old is not paying attention.
You need them to be a little bit old to
yell at them and be like, hey, pay attention exactly.
And soccer. Guess what. They just get to run. That's
all I care about is they're out running and they're
being active, and they're with friends. Baseball, basketball, Tommy, your
son's friends with all his teammates with some of them.
No chance. But that's the thing. What ray, How long

(30:29):
are we in? Do we need to take a break.
We just took a break thirty minutes epidemic. Oh yeah,
we did, so we were deciding okay, we got new
kids on the team, and one of the parents is like, hey,
we should meet up before the season starts that the
kids get to introduce themselves to Yeah, so the bats,
so the parents can drink. And I was like, great,

(30:52):
that's a great idea. There's this park. We'll meet there
Monday night, five thirty. I'll bring the pizzas night. Is
it dark at the park now? It's five thirty, Dude,
it's not dark because homeless dud there. Oh excuse me, brother,
you got pizza's brother. I appreciate your brother. It is

(31:14):
a little late at the park's thing. But you guys
gotna ruin the story because you're gonna or onto something that.
So I show up and it is a park I've
never been to, and so by a creek. They love creek.
There's a creek. Yeah, they love creek. Is the park

(31:35):
by me and West Nash? No, no, no, no. And
because I lost a baseball under the bridge, we didn't
go and get it. That's a gone boy. Is there
a tent set up out there? No, it's not Dick
setting up for advertising. So I roll up and I

(31:57):
get out of the car. Got the pizzas, and I'm like, man,
there's not even a playground at this park. Why did
we pick this park? Why did you pick up park
in the place? So what's there picnic tables? Well, there's
a basketball court, no net, No, it had nets. It
had nets. There's couple people playing basketball, smell a couple
of people playing tennis. But it wasn't the skunk. Yeah,

(32:21):
and then there was a creek. As a creek, there
was some picnic tables way over there, but they were
roped off like they were like they had a yellow tape,
no orange like construction like you know that plastic orange
um stuff they have on road construction orange bones. So
it was no but it was surrounded. So I was like, well,

(32:41):
I can't get over there. Oh you're talking about like
the waffle, like the grip the waffle, the waffle, the
waffle grid. And so I'm like, well, crap. So I'm like,
I don't know where to set this pizza. So I'm
just sitting in the grass by myself, just sitting there.
Oh my gosh, hey brother, what's your name? Seven years
there comes this guy. Oh man, you got extra pizza,

(33:05):
And I'm like, no, all right, love you do you
just let me know, I'll eat some pizza, all right,
you will. He's like, I'll be sitting over there. And
he goes and sitting down by a tree, just staring
at you, just staring at me. And I'm like, where
are these people that we're supposed to be meeting up with.
Nobody shows up and I'm sitting there. Nobody has a backyard. Well,
so it's just you and your son. No, no, my

(33:26):
kids aren't there yet. My wife is bringing them because
I had to go get the pizza. So we were
meeting it in your family's late yes, So I'm like, well,
this is awesome. So I'm sitting there. Here comes another guy.
Hey man, what's a pizza for? All right? Hey? Brother? Like, nope,
the pizza. I was like, oh, it's for you know
people i'm meeting. All right, Well, let us know if

(33:46):
you want to give us some pizza. I definitely don't
want to give you some pizza. Twenty minutes later, still
no one's there, and finally I'm like call my wife
and I'm she's rolling in the parking lot and I'm like,
there's no one here. This is so embarrassing playing this
whole get together to meet the kids, and no one
damn showed up and she's like, well, I came, I
mean where are you at? I'm like, where about the

(34:07):
damn score? So she comes out there and we're just
standing there, standing there. Then we check the email and
people were like, Hey, we're at the playground. Are you
guys coming my playground? There ain't no damn playground. Oh
it's around the block. You're in the wrong park. Wrong park.
Hey can you get up with your pizza and walk
out there? Where are you going? Brother? Oh? The guys like,

(34:30):
I have a good night exactly because he was hoping
I was gonna leave that pizza there. But yeah, And
so then I was twenty minutes late. Twenty thirty minutes later,
the team meet up. I'm the coach and I show
up and I meet all these people and we are
gonna kick some how. Are the parents good? Good people?
Nice people? I knew. I knew two of the parents
because two of the kids we know. The other ones

(34:52):
are all new, all new people, and I mean they're exciting.
A lot of them are first timer. So it's gonna
be a disaster. The first time listeners a long time.
I'm called no, No No, they're all big fans of the show,
are they, I don't know. They call you by your name,
Gibbles or Box and they just got a coach, just
coach coach. So he was just like, oh my god.

(35:18):
And like you when you guys said, oh, some guy
guarantee one of the beds on which when you said
the time in a park, like I figured you're gonna
run into that, dude. The one time Boomer that he
remembers of us living downtown on Broadway was his encounter
with a homeless person, same place, same setting. It was
a park. We're over there. The guy was hiring a
kite and he took his shoes off and he made

(35:39):
it kind of let's just say, a boomerang, and he
was spinning him around and then he kept twisting and
turning him and just spinning and spinning. It was all
fine and danny. Then he threw the shoes and they
almost hit Boomer. So Boomer they had to get involved. Oh,
don't worry, that's the end of the story. So Boomer
goes over and gives the man his shoes. It's all
cute and stuff. We're playing football. These parks just get
overrun sadly. So we were having a good time. Then

(36:00):
they start to invade our space. Well, the guy goes
to the helicopter again, and this time he comes about
a foot from my wife, Hillary and my sister, and
I said, that's it. I put my foot down, I
go over to the I literally ran over there up
to him. I was gonna knock him out, but then
realized he wasn't much of a fighter. I mean, he
was hiring a kite. And I said, just get the

(36:20):
blankety blank blank away from my friend, from my wife.
These are my women that get the get the absolute
out of here and go over there. This is you
take the basketball court. You this this stoopid And that's
the one thing Boomer remembers, Hey, uncle, ay, remember the
time you almost fought the homeless guy. You said, these
are my women. Well at the time, coach, you don't

(36:42):
really what am I gonna say? These are my wife? Girl?
Face Now, Boomers like, at school, right now, these are
my women. He's like, he goes on, he's like muffs, like,
where'd you learn that? Uncle? My women? And then we
all get back to the apartment and there's poop tracked.
Oh that's crows was that dog poop. I don't know, man,

(37:03):
don't know if it was dog poop. Oh great, what
could it have been. I don't know. I'm just fill
up the blakes on that one's poop. That's disgusting. Man.
My son's still scared of storms because of by your
your old house coach by um Fenway. We took the
family down there and there was a homeless dude. I
guess there was like a lightning coming in and some homes.

(37:25):
Dude's running up and down the bridge going it's a twister.
It's a twister. It's gonna take us out. And dude,
I mean, he was screaming for his life, and my
son was like, oh my god, Oh my gosh, we're
gonna die. We're gonna die, all because his homeless person
is freaking out. God damn man, he's still scared of
his horm because he's not only got all the time

(37:45):
in the world have a conspiracy theory, but he's also
a paranoid from shelter. I'll never forget. I was eleven
years old and I was walking from my house to
the ballpark. And you can go the long way or
can go the short way where you cut through the
grass and it's down by the the bridge, the tunnels

(38:07):
underneath the bridge, you know, the sewer tunnels. Sewer tunnels. Oh,
simps are ninja turtles. Yeah. And so I'm walking along
the road and I go down in the grass and
it's me and forest brother and we're walking and the
grass is kind of long, and we get to right
by the sewer tunnels. Freaking homeless dude just sits up

(38:28):
and goes, what's going on? Boys? I have never run
so freaking fast in my life. Never did he go
to the sewers again? Because it was like six thirty
at night, so it's dark, like you know what I mean,
it's just kind of that just by your house. Yeah,

(38:50):
right by my house. Wow, Like you know, you weren't
in town, you were like in the burbs. Yeah, yeah yeah.
And the ballpark was just on the other side of
this busy road, and so I could have walked down,
taken a you know, one road, take a left, go
down this road, but this is just cutting through the
grass right next to the road. You're there in five minutes.
That's crazy. And the dude pops up, how's it going? Boys?

(39:16):
Never made to the ballpark that night. That's a hell
of a a little short story or something. I mean,
it would be a movie, dude. Yeah, that's Goonies Part two.
Boys harmless. Let's be real a little. I wish they're
tad more ambitious. None of them are gonna do anything

(39:38):
to you. You know what I saw at eleven years old.
I was not going to find out what he wanted
to do. That's true. You don't want to find out.
I was driving to pick up my wife at the airport,
and I was there's a busy street. I mean, I'm
talking about four four lanes, one turning lanes of five total,
and there's a homeless dude crossing the street. Oh boy
in a wheelchair but using his legs, both of them.

(40:03):
Like he's sitting on a wheelchair and he's kicking himself
with his legs moving himself across the street. Maybe he's
got broken butt. That's interesting. I had a friend's dad.
He's uh driving one night, going to pick up a
six or at the comedience store. A hard day work, Yeah,
gets it, gets back in the car driving, it's dark,

(40:26):
and all of a sudden there's a guy in the
wheelchair in the middle round Boom, he hits him, and
he's like, oh, I'm going to jail. Oh my god,
I'm going to jail. Oh my god. Had he already
opened the six pack? Yeah? Okay. He's like, I couldn't
have waited. He can't wait, Coach. He's like, hard day work.
I'm going to jail. Like, oh my god, oh my god,
please show up, please shoo, show up the police. Oh

(40:48):
I think he said please show up. No, no, because
he hit the guy in the wheelchair. I hit the
wheel wheelchair. And the cop gets out of the car
and he goes, God, damn it, Johnny, I told you
to quit crossing this street. The hell are you doing. Sorry,
you can get on out of here. This guy's an idiot.
Oh wow, dodge the bullet. Then Johnny does that crab

(41:10):
all the time. I guess he goes, I already told
you earlier to stay out of the middle of the road, Johnny.
They kind of wanted he was a type that wanted
to get hit. Oh my god. He was just like, okay, okay,
truck God, dang man. Hey, he thought he killed the guy.
Be he thought, oh my god, I'm going to jail.
I'm going to jail, And no Johnny does that all

(41:30):
the time. Johnny does that all the time. That cop
tells him, Johnny, you're a dang idiot. And the sucky
thing is a lot of places don't have good sidewalks.
I used to walk all the time in San Marcus.
I didn't have a car. If you if you're a walker,
which I was for a whole year, sidewalk suck you.
The average place doesn't have a good sidewalk, so you're
walking in the road and the bike They don't They

(41:51):
didn't have bike lanes then now they kind of do.
But you're you're all most of the time, you're about
a foot from the road. That is dangerous because scaring
you should start it or organization, Yeah, sidewalk org. Yeah,
side walked Well, No, they've been working on one by me.
It's taking them a month and they've done two squares
on the sidewalk. It's they can build a skyscraper faster

(42:12):
than they can build a sidewalk around here. Do you
want to appreciate things a little more? Yeah, start walking,
Like walk, walk to places. Man, When you walk to places,
you start seeing buildings you've never seen ever. Amazing point,
Like I've driven to work for how many years, ten
years down the street. And I walked the other day

(42:32):
from downtown over here and I was like, huh, I
never seen that building before. Wow, And that's a really
cool building. You walked from downtown. Yeah, this is like
I don't know about a year ago. I walked from
downtown and I was like what we did after the
CMA Awards. And it's not that far. You just start
seeing things You're like, wow, this is crazy, or like
the weather sucks and you're like, oh god, man, I

(42:53):
didn't realize that because you're in a car all the
time and you don't realize how fast the cars are
going flying. Yes, in a car, you don't realize. It's
an amazing point. The buildings, the structures, the individual individuality
of apartment complex, landscaping and goodness, parking space, stuff from
the eighteenth century. Everything when you walk, you really and Eddie,

(43:15):
I'm all with you on that, thank you coach. The
times that our gym is right next to Broadway, and
then there's the where I used to live, and I said, dang,
I've never When I would go to the gym on
a Saturday, I would say, dang, I never been on Broadway. Sober.
I didn't realize all the different bars and proof tops.
I was walking and I was sober. It'll open your
eyes the litter, that's oh, you'll you notice so much litter. Yeah, So, like,

(43:40):
can I ask you what is the point of those
street sweepers? Oh though the circular brushes, because they don't
suck the trash up. They just brushed the street. They
just brushed the street and move the trash elsewhere. But
here's the deal. If they don't do that, I think
the streets end up just being brown like and you
wouldn't be able to see the road because I see

(44:01):
them and I'm like, oh, they're sucking up the trash.
They're sucking up the trash. No, they're just pushing the
trash out of the way. Yeah, it doesn't make any sense.
I think it's for the dirt more than anything. And
how do you get that job? I think like my cousins,
which my cousins works in the city, Man, they do
street sweeping. You want to do it? Yeah? Man? Sure, yeah,
it looks pretty easy, right, you just drive down the road.

(44:22):
I let me tell you what, dude. I got to
the airport like at midnight one night and This is
a crazy job. This dude he mops the airport, but
in his zamboni. That was a little job, like an
awesome job. Hey, he sits in his little zamboni. Hey,
when's the pipe puck drop? Brother? Hey, this intermission second

(44:45):
a long damn time. It literally mops the floor and
then he goes by one more time and it drives it.
It's amazing. That's cool. Yeah. Never, I didn't know that
job existed. Yeah, he wasn't talking to anyone. Dude, loving life.
Until you're stuck in an airport, you don't realize that one. Yes, well,
being stuck in the airport is the worst when no
one's there and they kind of frown upon standing the

(45:07):
night there. Yeah I haven't, but I've had buddies who say, oh,
the temple and they'll kick you out. Oh, I believe
specifically the Miami Airport. You cannot stay the night. They
would kick Do they close? I don't think they close,
turn off lights and a security guy comes around and
he goes, get you can't be in here. Yeah you can't.
Some some of them don't let you be in the
past security. You get to go out in the common area,

(45:28):
Like I know, my buddy Row. We were going to
Orlando for something and he got the dates wrong and
he flew in a night early small technical are and
so he had to stay in the Orlando airport for
a whole day and night. What a brutal start to
a trip. Yes, and he what's his name? Row? Why
have we never heard him? The guy went to college

(45:52):
with is that short for like death? Row? No Ronaldo?
And we call him roll low Row? But so Row.
He had to sleep on the bench at one like
in the food court. And he was like, you want
to know what I don't ever want to hear again
in my life. If someone hands you a ask you
to carry their luggage, please do not. Or if you
see some unattended luggage, please report it to security. He

(46:15):
was like, every thirty seconds on a loop, on a loop,
He's like, I'd start to fall asleep and then they
would do it again. Well, the loop in Nashville is
Welcome to Nashville. Hey, how's it going? It's old Dominion
and George Straight Welcome to music city, dude. They just
go through those artists after artists, and the airport is
so cold. Because I spent the night in the Vegas
airport because I missed my flight one time and I

(46:38):
had to find a charger to plug my phone in
so I could be on the air the next day.
I slept underneath the payphones. There was payphones back then.
It was about ten years ago, twelve years ago, thirteen
years ago. Whenever get Richard I tryan came out and
it was fifty fifty cent. I went to Vegas to
interview him, and I had the late night flight out
on America West Airlines. I don't even know what that is.
How'd you miss that? Well, I'm one of those people

(47:01):
that like to leave it to the last minute. I
show up at the airport and the line is two
hundred people long. Security line, no, just to get my ticket.
This is before apps. Before apps, you had to print
out your your boarding pass. And I was like, well,
I'm not gonna make it, and so I slept on
the floor. Didn't have a jacket, so I had to
get like three shirts wrapped my arms in them, and

(47:23):
I was right where a bridge was, so people were
still exiting their plane and they had the rolling bags.
Then we go cl click click over. This one little
spot was worth it for fifty dude. Yes, it was awesome,
but every bag cl click, oh my god, click click,
oh my god, stop stop click click. Or the worst

(47:44):
is when you're with me and my chick. We always
try to find a spot where there's nobody in. So
we'll go in and say, what is it? What's up? Place?
Nobody goes to Portland. We'll go into the Portland little area.
Have you ever seen? All? Right? Maybe different one, poor choice.
We'll go to let's say, Gary, Indiana. There you go,
so we go. Wait that one. They're ain't one damn
person flying to Gary, Indiana. So we're just chilling. I'm
almost trying to sleep a little bit. She's loving life.

(48:06):
And then a business dude comes in on a power
phone call. Yeah, yeah, go ahead and just sell it fifty. Yeah,
I told you the Naza gets up, sell low, buy high.
I'm like, buddy, can you shut the heck up? I'm
trying to sleep. Find a different terminal. We found Gary
on our own. Who has a terrible job that they
are that they have. They can't even get off the
phone at the airport. They're so busy that they had

(48:27):
to make that call right then, Like I mean, the
plane is about to take off and there's people making
deals like, oh yeah, I see that he wrote that there.
All right, Jim, I need you to edit that out.
Switch that and I'll be on the ground of two hours.
I'll be on the ground. And it's like, man, that
must suck, dude, or the people that have to be
on their laptops, they literally are finding the Wi Fi
so they can work. I'm finding the Wi Fi. So

(48:47):
I come back. We're gonna take a break and we're
gonna come back and talk about the games. Sees right there,
games Eddie Ry What was the time on that? Uh
forty nine? A little behind the scenes coach, thank you?
Inside Baseball hit it. We're talking about today? Oh yeah,

(49:13):
we're talking about today. We're talking about today and tomorrow,
today and tomorrow. So Arkansas, hell of a game. I
am what game are looking for? It gets so long
and big and had order order of games that are
gonna be good Arkansas, all of them. Gonzaga, UCLA gonna
be awesome. Yeah. I think Gonzaga goes home. I hope not.

(49:36):
I think this is the day that Gonzaga's done. Michigan
State I really feel I don't know, I kind of
feel k State's gonna take that when me and Justin
agree the line's weird. Michigan State minus one and a half.
I almost believe that case State guard is disgusting. And
that's a good way. You mean that little kid, Yeah,
he's lit, dude, he did that. He's the one that
did the no look Ali oop, it's all over the Yeah,

(49:57):
he's the one that Calipari got so mad after the game,
that little kid. Arkansas Connecticut. Is it gonna be a
close game or a blowout? The lines moving and Connecticut's
one of the top three teams. They say it's gonna
win it. How much is it moving to four? It
went from three and a haft four. Oh okay, not
significant but not insignificant. Yeah, I got you. It should
be a close game. I mean I think I would think.

(50:19):
It just means something to me because our bones is
the massive Arkansas fans, So it's like bad mood, good mood.
It all depends on this game. Hell yeah, but we
got time. I think, Oh, cools down. But here's the thing.
I have to cheer for Arkansas just because of the brackets.
Do you I got I got you a sweatshirt? No,
shut up, I don't want it wear it now. I'm

(50:40):
not gonna sit there and be all yo Arkansas. I'll
be watching the one, right. I hope Arkansas wins. I
hope Arkansas wins. I hope they win. What are you
at stake money wise? Well, I mean you lose twenty, Yeah,
I lose twenty, But I mean it just would eliminate
people that have Yukon. I still need a good Zaga
to win if Yukon loses them out, like I have
no two right, you have no chance. I think my son,
one of my boys, still has a chance. Right. And

(51:02):
that's what I'm looking at now, is I just look
at Okay, I need Gonzaga to go to the championship now.
If I'm gonna win a bracket, I need Gonzaga in
the championship game. But that was smart of you. That's
your ace in the hole, Gonzaga. That's how you win
at all. That's that was my calculator, miss his little
no not you know, it was my strategy. That's the
whole thing is my strategy is a strategy is about

(51:25):
to go down the toilet when they lose tonight. And
guess what if Yukon goes down the toilet your strategy
goes down the top. I didn't have a strategy. I
just picked the better team. Oh. I literally just went
down and be like, I'm just gonna pick better teams
that I think are gonna win. That's it. I didn't
think ahead. I didn't think like everyone's gonna pick Alabama,
so I'm not because that's not how my son won

(51:45):
it last I mean that you can win it in
many different ways. But I still believe if you can
win early rounds and everyone has the same champ and
it's Alabama, yes, then I still win. Yes. I had
a lot of people picked Bama. Yeah, No one eighty.
And I just don't want to be the one person
that's iced out at the sweet sixteen because you missed

(52:08):
two games in the first round that someone else got
and you can't get any more points because you have
the exact same going forward. But in your league two,
the champ is only worth like it's not a lot, yeah,
like ten points maybe like eighteen maybe, yeah, something like that,
where in other leagues is ESPN and Yahoo by default
or set up that way. If you got the champ,

(52:30):
you're gonna win it all right, correct, unless everybody has
the champ, Like if ten people have the champ, it's
like it doesn't make a difference. Now the one I'm
interested in Tennessee Tennessee Florida Atlantic. You know why because
Rick Barnes always chose No. No, nobody is giving Florida
Atlantic a chance. Everything you hear is, oh god, Tennessee, Tennessee, Tennessee, Tennessee.

(52:53):
And it's like nobody is talking about Florida Atlantic because
it is the biggest line, and that makes the difference.
How five and half? How? How does how does nobody
talking about Florida Atlantic make a difference in the game,
Because when it's that obvious, there's a problem one hundred
percent of the time pretty much. No, that's not true.
Was anybody talking about Michigan State against Marquette. Everybody was

(53:16):
talking about Marquette, Marquet Market, Marquet, Marquet, Marquete. When Duke
played Tennessee. What was everybody saying? Do I think everyone
Tennessee was saying Tennessee, Tennessee, Tennessee, But no one, no
one really was giving Tennessee a shot. And that's when
we like in the NFL, when it's an obvious like,
oh my god, that's so obvious. It's like, wait a minute,
that's too obvious. I get it. Stepped back, analyze and

(53:37):
I did that. I stepped back and Ray, you probably
did the same thing. You analyze and you said, okay,
Florida Atlantic Tennessee. All right, what am I thinking still Tennessee?
Well matter And here's the thing, guys, this is where
you really want to plant your nuts down and you
just want to realize the wacky kukie circus type stuff happened.
That was fun. That it doesn't continue to happen. The

(53:59):
circus on the lasts so long. I'm telling you right now,
it's chalk outside of Kansas State, I believe. Yeah, okay,
hold on, hold on, open it up. So what's the
chalk Kentucky or sorry, kent Kentucky's at home. Yeah, they're
they're done. Coach and Bill, Bill, Selfer and Maui together
Bie hospital. He's an ambulance. Too soon, too soon. I

(54:25):
believe the better teams are just gonna win spread wise.
That's why it's not that much of a leap for
me to say this. The better teams are gonna win. Yeah,
it's gonna beat Arkansas. Tennessee's gonna beat Florida Atlantic, Ucla
is gonna beat in Zaga, Alabama is gonna beat San
Diego State, Houston's gonna beat the U. I like Princeton

(54:45):
the plus ten, so I'm not touching that one. And
Texas is gonna absolutely sodomize Davier. Interesting. I watched Davier
a lot this year. Ain't great. They go ice cold
and they like to be down about fifteen points and
then win a game, which doesn't work. Damn good. Doesn't
work against Texas. So I believe your favorites are gonna win.
So follow the numbers is ray sing, So just take

(55:07):
all the favorites. Remember spread wise is what makes the
game equal, makes it like a Roulette wheel fifty fifty
favorite time. Yeah, And that's why I raise good at Gamma,
because a Roulette wheel is not fifty fifty because there's greens.
It's not especially especially if you don't pay attention, You're
on the three greener. It's like, that's not good. Okay.
The most likely to be upset today Zaga, Well, two

(55:30):
three is not really an upset because UCLA's favored. Well,
I know, but I feel like everyone thinks in March
madness because Zaga is gonna make it to the final four.
Why are these games so late? Because they want people
to watch you, mother, and people are at work. Mother,
R five thirty Oh that's your bedtime, five thirty seven,
fifteen Ray. You're not gonna be able to watch these games.

(55:52):
So five thirty seven, fifteen eight, and eight forty five Ray,
Now I'll watch you. I'm stay okay because I got
Bezer to redeposit in the account. So we're gonna put
together a little bit of a banger. Oh, he's gonna
put together a ten game parlay for three hundred dollars. Well,
I'm gonna do a couple of teams and then it's
gonna continue all weekend because I'm going to Arizona, so

(56:13):
doing a parlay hopefully it pays for the trip. So,
as far as today goes, Thursday, are you posting this today? Yeah? Um,
as far as today goes, I don't think they're gonna
be big upsets other than Gonzaga. And the only reason
I say that is because people think Gonzaga is gonna
win this game. Ucla going in with two bad injuries,
you know, like Gonzaga being Gonzaga and March Madness. Yes,
everyone expects Gonzaga to win this game. I don't. I

(56:35):
think that's gonna be the big upset and it's our
show beat UCLA. Yep, we actually win money, that's true. Yeah,
what do you think you think Florida Atlantic? I think
Florida Atlantic has a shot. Being cute, are you being cute?
I think they're athletic enough, will be serious. No, I
think they're athletic enough, and they'll they can put enough
pressure on the ball handle for ball handler for Tennessee,

(56:56):
which caused some turnovers that left question the lefty. That's
the thing they don't Spaniard. Yes, but they've done a
good job of adjusting now that they've had a little
bit of time a few weeks without Ziegler. Also, I
think Michigan State has a good shot. That's not an up.
Oh Michigan. Well, I guess they're favored, but they're favored seven.
I get it, But I don't, dude, I just think

(57:18):
that I don't know. Watching them all season long, the
good they're not good. Pseudoku has been amazing. Download the
Tall Guy and then all show The guard Walker, the
penetrating guard is what you need. He's the same thing.
Debo with Arkansas. You need an amazing guard, which is
what Kansas State has, which is what Michigan State has.
Tennessee does not have that. Does Case State have a

(57:38):
big guy? They have They have long guys. They're not big,
but they're they're tall, tall, they can block. Yeah, and
then they can challenge the Florida State. Dude. Yeah, let
me show you how long Michigan state. And I don't
know that Arkansas has an answer for the big guy
down low that Arkansas gonna have to shoot Arkansas, they don't.
They don't. They're they're gonna be forced to shoot. They're

(58:00):
gonna have to shoot, and they're gonna have to draw fowls.
I'm still doing the many guys. The math doesn't make
sense why Kansas lost to Arkansas. And I'm gonna submit
this to the committee. I think it needs to be reviewed. Gosh,
I told you how they won that. There's no way
that Arkansas won that game math wise. Arkansas won that
game because they took Jimmy Dick out of the game.

(58:20):
That's how they won the game. If Jimmy Dick would
have been playing, how many shots did Jimmy Dick have?
We got to talk about five Max Max. Johnny Dick
probably shot the ball five times the entire game. Man,
do we really have to talk about you know what,
don't even worry about it. I'm telling you, Arkansas is
in trouble not shooting the three. Arkansas is gonna have

(58:42):
to shoot the ball, Arkansas Hawk. They're gonna have to
drive the lane. I tell you they drive the lane. Yeah,
they have to draw fouls and they're gonna have to
make their free throws. That's where it's gonna be challenging.
It's what Debo does, Dude. The last two minutes, it
was Hey, give me the ball, I'm gonna take it
to hoop. That's what it was. It was man verse, man, Hey,
and your boy Walsh. I don't like Walsh. He's he

(59:03):
has the most unorthodox way of playing the game. It's lumber, lumber, lumber,
grab a rebound. Yeah, but he gets the rebound. He
looks like a robot. He does like he drives the
ball like a robot. I drive ball all these other guys.
You know, basketball, basketball is all about being smoothed. Tommy Dick. Sorry,
I'm trying to find it. It's okay, coach, let it go,
all right, let's move to Friday. Let's move to Friday.

(59:24):
Let's take a break, and we'll move to Friday. Timer
fifty nine. Oh god, you're gonna make it shorter, Eddiot
told you Friday. I see Alabama going out, No, no, no no,
I'm interested to see the Alabama Sandego State game. San

(59:45):
Diego State is very physical. Sego State blows. Did you
watch the last game? Her offenses? Their guard. I've been
preaching it. They have an amazing guard. Outside of that,
their ice cold. They may put up forty points playing
with them. Still, no, what are you? What are we
doing talking about? What are we doing talking about this team?
They have the Aztec Mayan Ruins playing the game, stocking

(01:00:10):
with that crap. Move on to another Game's gonna win
by eighty? Yes, I think I think Miami is gonna
make it a close game. I think with Wong like
they're gonna be They're gonna be close, but they're not
gonna be Houston. Houston's still gonna win that game. And
Stassar's playing. Obviously, Sassar's back, I mean, what is that line? Seven? Yeah?

(01:00:31):
I like I like Miami seven. I am impressed that
Sassar was okay to play against Auburn. I thought that
groin was bad. He's got what four or five more
days to rest? How did you know about the groin?
Inspect right, And so it seems like he's gonna be fine.
And Houston is a dangerous team, dangerous, dangerous, dangerous. They're

(01:00:51):
gonna win that game. Yeah, you've been in Houston. I
would love Miami to win that game. But I think
Houston's gonna win. But close. Yeah, Or do you think
that Houston covers minus seven? Minus seven's a big number.
That's a big number number. I don't think they cover that,
But I don't know about the side. Miami doesn't have
the size Houston has such. Yeah, they're big. They rebound

(01:01:14):
a lot. Hey, Ray, what's so like if it's a
close game? Coach? You yelled at me like we're shouting
across the microphone. You don't get sorry, coach, I just
can't see you. Coach. So when you're betting seven? Seven
to me? Is like, what's the number? I know what
you're saying. When where you're like, it's a close game,

(01:01:35):
a three point game, but with all the free throws
and all the foulon and everything, what's the safe number.
I always think seven is pretty good on the plus side.
I'm right there with you. A seven is perfect. Six
is still a close game. Five's a close game. Four, three, two,
one seven eight. That is a cushion. You love that
pillow because for a majority of the game you can

(01:01:56):
put your head on the couch and barely watch the game. Okay,
because if it's like a minus a plus six, and
you know they're gonna be fallon shooting wild threes just
to catch up, it's a nerve wracking. That's nerve racking.
And some of these sites don't let you tease. The
best thing you can do is tease a number by
three or four and then parlay it. Granted you're not
getting as much money back, but you're not gonna have

(01:02:17):
a heart attack mid game trying to watch your bed.
All right, come on, tell me about Princeton, ray, I
just I've already said it now. It's plus ten. It
was nine and a half. They get ten. That's like
it even more, dude. They beat Arizona. Okay, Yeah, are
these players not the best recruits? True? Are their coaches
maybe a little too into math? Probably true as well.

(01:02:38):
But Creton just runs and guns. Watched them, biggies. They're cute,
they're fun, they fly, they shoot threes. They're gonna probably
put up eighty five. But Princeton sounds like they're anything
like that. Honestly, I didn't watch much of the Princeton game,
but the fact they beat Arizona ten is a huge number.
They gotta be gritty, they gotta be tough. I've seen Creton,

(01:03:00):
they can go cold, they're flying. Princeton just needs to
put up a lot of points. Hey, Craton, they're fast,
they're flying, they make everything they shoot. They put up
ninety points. So we just need we just need Princeton
do the same thing. I mean, that's his analysis. Guys,
the pedigree in the Big East, Creton's Xaviers, uh, the Johnny's,

(01:03:20):
I've watched them all uk yukon fs one. These guys
they really don't I'm telling you. There ain't no coaches
calling plays. These guys just running guns. So hopefully Princeton's
played a team like that. Arizona sucked though they were
ice cold from they got a bunch of shorts, and
that's why Princeton beat the crap out of him. Ray

(01:03:41):
hit hit the h oh it's it. I think it's
the end of the road for Texas. Texas. Why you
haven't watched Xavier not? I like Xavier. I think Xavier
can shoot. I think Xavier just needs to shoot and

(01:04:02):
make their shots. If they can make their three pointers,
it's over for Texas. But remember this, Xavier has been
down by ten and basically all their last games. That
doesn't work against Texas. Why not, because then you'll be
down by twenty. Huh. So if you're down by ten,
you'll be down by twenty. If you just multiy interesting,
that's cool, Matt. Yeah, it all comes down to me

(01:04:29):
is how they call the game. If they let Texas
be physical, Xavier is gonna lose. If they let Texas
bang them and rough them up like Texas likes to do,
make it ugly, slap them and stuff, yeah, then I
don't think Xavier's gonna be able to handle the physicality
of Texas. And I think Texas wins. If they start
calling a tight game where they're calling these tikie tack
fouls and you can't be physical, that Texas is in trouble.

(01:04:52):
But I think Texas is really good. I think Texas
is gonna win I think San Diego State is gonna
give Alabama a really tough game and everybody's gonna be shot.
Oh my god. Because San Diego State is older. The
guys are older, they're grown men, coach, They they they
hurt more, you know when you're older. I really don't
think you watched the last game because San Diego State
was so bad. They covered big time, big time. Yes,
but the team they played wasn't great. But I'm just

(01:05:15):
telling you. They don't have shooters. They score about two
points every three minutes. But it is so Ray, what's
the Texas line four? I want to say it's moving.
I believe it was a three earlier. I don't know.
What do you mean? You don't know there's gonna be
an upset. There's there's upsets every time. Yeah, of course

(01:05:35):
there's always upsets. So I'm hoping it's gonna be San Diego.
I bet it could be Houston. It could be guys,
and remember my generational bet. I told you Princeton ten
and a half. Absolutely lock it up because Ray's head
to look it up. Look it up, lock it up,
look it up. All right, have a good weekend you two. Coach, Hey,

(01:05:55):
which is good luck, good luck. First game? Yeah, hey ready, no,
come on, come on lunch, Hey, big Sue. I thought
we'd have some eleven AM games. No, that's the first
on the first weekend you ever watch March Madness. Hey,

(01:06:16):
and it only gets worse from here, dude, they get
later and later. They need to expand this thing. No, no, no,
they're talking about they're talking about one hundred and twenty
eight teams. That would be the stupidest thing ever every college.
Do you want to talk about the most impossible bracket
to ever pick? Dude, we get Austin PN, Tennessee, stay
MTSU PA. No, we're not doing that. We're not doing that.

(01:06:40):
All right, all right, have a great weekend, you two guys,
I mean, ray, have a good weekend. Right. Understand how
long we have to watch March Madness for one hundred
twenty eighteen. It's not gonna happen. So we're good guys.
When I come back on Monday. This's a little bit
of a deep tease. Um, that's inside baseball. That's what
we say in the Big Show. And it's a tease
that lasts more than an hour, So deep teas on
Monday Day, I'm gonna give you the beat the street

(01:07:02):
guy that you want to pick. Because I'm gonna be
scouting at spring training this weekend, can you can you
give me some tips on who I should draft for
my fantasy baseball team. Yes, I'll be watching the Rockies
and I believe the Guardians, so I'll know those teams
pretty well. I can give you guys some tips. Thanks, coach. Yeah,
we're doing Scottsdale. Unfortunately not Scottsdale bar scene, but spring training.
Are you playing waste management? Is that where you're gonna

(01:07:23):
try to walk onto? No, it's a Phoenix golf course.
I think. Oh that's a good one. That's really good. Yeah,
all right, goodbye everyone. My textbook
