I'm definitely East.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
I mean I'm gonna draft my team, and my team's
gonna kick your team's ass, just like it does every year.
I'm gonna try to draft my team in a way
that it purposely loses. You know, there's different weight classes,
there's men, there's women. The whole art of the draft
is something that you know I've mastered. And I'll give
(01:05):
you my eleven week sumo drafting course if you'd like
next year.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
But this year I'm gonna put my throat on your neck.
What percentage of your fantasy leagues have you won?
Speaker 4 (01:13):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (01:13):
Yeah, that's fair question. Let's not. We don't have time
because I need to read that book. We have a
time to do a deep dot.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
I am the reigning baseball champion of the Nolan Ryane Cup.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
Is right, I'll have you know how many of those
do you have you racked up?
Speaker 2 (01:25):
If you we are in Solina or super Glad you're
here with us, Man, I just had some Mueller Wago.
It is so unbelievably tasty, so very very good. Uh
So they're serving up food here. The sumo wrestlers are
in the house. Are getting loose. Uh they're out there
practicing and stuff loose? Do they get really pretty loose?
The tent is set up, they're drinking beer. They got
the mawashe's on right, Yep, that what they're called. And
(01:48):
so they're they're ready for a big tournament. It's gonna
be awesome, But right now it's time for this.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
He's interrational, quick trigger, nuclear overreactor. He's a masterful storyteller
who consistently finds himself drowning in a sea of awkward.
It's time for no trundin in Ben.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
So, I'm to the point now with my kids where
I don't like being a parent. Yeah, you know, I
never liked being a parent. I mean, we had one
really good one who made it easy. But now he's
at college and it's like, oh, yeah, these are the
other ones.
Speaker 4 (02:23):
Don't you know that when you when you hit the mountaintop,
that's when you call it quits. All right, you guys
kept cranking out kids.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
I know what happened is our middle son was not
like super affectionate and.
Speaker 4 (02:37):
Huggy, uh huh, And so Dot said, this one's getting
too big to cuddle.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
Exactly, and so we're like, let's have one more. Anyways,
We're so glad we did. And we got three awesome kids.
And my youngest is fourteen. I got two older boys
and a younger daughter. She's fourteen, and it's really cool
because she loves basketball, uh huh. The thing she's most
passionate about is the thing I'm most passionate about. Like,
we both are in love with the game of basketball,
(03:02):
but I can't talk to her about it. Why because
she wants to know a part of it. She knows
that you don't really talk hoop that good. She will
come watch me play in my basketball games, and she'll
come with me, she'll spend time with me in the
gym and stuff. But I can't talk to her about
anything why because it's one word answers, why is your
day good?
Speaker 3 (03:22):
Why are you yelling at her so much?
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Not?
Speaker 3 (03:24):
And I just can't talk to her about it. There's nothing.
And so anyways, it's a weird dynamic.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
She you know, she's pretty much always in a little
bit of a bad mood yep around her parents and
really short answers and just like in and out of
the door, and we're just kind of in the way.
She feels like, you guys don't offer that much. Yeah,
she definitely feels like we don't offer that much. But
I am not concerned by this. I'm not going to
be threatened by this because I don't care about being
(03:50):
my kids friends.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
Uh huh. I don't I want a mission to be
their best friend.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Because I want to be the adult. I want to have,
you know, some discipline. I want to have some actual supervision.
And so there are parents in the mix here around
in these social circles who say yes to every damn thing, right,
like we're going to deep out them Saturday night.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
I'm like, what why?
Speaker 4 (04:11):
It depends on what the show is. Are they going
to LCD sound system?
Speaker 3 (04:14):
And I'm just like, dude, no, that's not cool.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
And so some kids I see this all the time
driving through my neighborhood.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
Oh, by the way, is Grace fourteen? Now, yeah, she's fourteen, Okay.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
And so we had a golf cart for a while,
and it was fun because it's kind of a golf
cart community. You can drive your golf cart around and
my wife would take the kids to school and the
golf cart and that's a pretty cool thing. And so
you make a little trips around the neighborhood. Then once
they all wanted to drive it, it got real scary, yeah,
because you could flip.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
Them really easily, super easy. And the boy, they just
take turns real fast.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
Yeah, and they're not you know, they're out there driving
and speed limits that are like forty five yeah, and
a golf cart and it's not even legal other thing,
and so are they rock and see, because you had
that really expensive Oklahoma state golf cart. So I got
rid of that. I got rid of that golf cart.
When she started begging to drive it all the time.
My wife was not putting up a strong resistance. I
(05:05):
was like, let's remove this from the question. So, something
I've been noticing around the neighborhood lately is tiny kids
riding electric motor scooters.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
Okay, okay, yep, And I'm not cool with it.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
And I mean, if it's a bike, there's something about
the like a kid could go one speed on a bike,
but if they're doing it on an electric scooter, it's
just more dangerous, I think, because you're not aware of
the energy it takes to go fast or whatever. And
so I'll be driving around and I'll see kids cross
right in front of cars without ever looking.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
Right because they don't they're tiny kids.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
Yeah, kids are dumb, and they're driving these like little
electric motorcycles now.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
And so she wants one.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
I'm like, no, hell no, And so the thing is
morphed into her asking can I ride my friends? They
only go twenty miles per hour. And I'm saying, no,
am I overreacting?
Speaker 4 (05:52):
When does she turn fifteen December? Okay, so she's basically
a year and a half away from dry.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Yeah, but keep in mind, like Max, my oldest pass
is driving tests the first time, like he had a
conversation with the instructor like, wow, would you.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
Like to teach here? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (06:08):
The second My young my middle child had to take
his driver's test seventeen times. She's going to beat his record?
Speaker 3 (06:14):
Right?
Speaker 1 (06:15):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (06:15):
Really? I think maybe not? And it was weird for us.
Maya didn't even learn to drive till she was eighteen.
Speaker 4 (06:22):
She just like didn't even didn't even care. I bet
that was maybe pandemic related to you know, I think
at the size she is, in the age she is,
I think it's probably fine.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
Riding a motor scooter around light farms and forty five
mile per hour speed limits.
Speaker 4 (06:41):
If it's what I think it is, It's kind of like,
is it one of those things like a skateboard with
a handlebar coming out?
Speaker 3 (06:48):
Okay? What is it?
Speaker 2 (06:50):
Looks like a cross between a bike and a motorcycle.
Oh so, like I think it'll go forty Okay, I
don't know the one she's particularly pushing it. I guess
maybe it looks more like a bike than a motorcycle,
but it's not a scooter.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
Like Okay, so she's not listening right now, right, I don't.
I don't think she wants to have anything to do
with my voice.
Speaker 4 (07:08):
So it's basically what you and Alvarez used to drive
over to my house from Apollo Junior, all the way
across richards and at the same age.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
Yes, okay, I mean I don't know.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
Okay, dude, one, No, that's not it. Those are those
are like little scooters. These these look like more like motorcycles,
all right, And you know, I just feel like, yeah,
I'm the bad guy.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
Now have you seen her drive it? If she has
a head injury, is in a coma, I'm like, I'll
be I will regret not being the bad guy. No,
I know. Let's carry this over. Okay, let's carry this over.
Ah.
