Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's perfect.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
No, I already started it.
Speaker 1 (00:03):
Oh you started it?
Speaker 2 (00:03):
Yeah, it captured you saying it it's perfect.
Speaker 1 (00:06):
Man, Hey, tomorrow's the day baby hit it one shining mo. No,
but we can't even play anymore because we're not allowed
to play music on the pod. Right.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Well, if it's approved by iHeart this one was approved,
maybe it works.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
That doesn't have the same ring to it as the
ball is tipped. I mean that. Yeah. I don't know
the rest of the words, though, I mean, do you
realize what kind of feelings an emotion this brings for
me and everybody around America? Do you percentage of people
(00:44):
that watch March Madness one hundred?
Speaker 2 (00:48):
Okay, Ray, you don't think there's one homeless person that doesn't.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
Want No, No, I'm not counting the homeless because they
don't have access to TVs.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
They all have cell phones.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
That's a great point. Didn't think about that they check scores.
Do you think the homeless people still have their favorite
teams that they cheered for as a kid, and like
maybe they grew up in Pittsburgh and so they're still
Steelers fans, or they grew up in uh, New Jersey,
so they're still you know, cheering for the Scarlet Knights.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
I bet they root for the team and the town
that they're in. So you think they checked the Preds
scores anchored down?
Speaker 1 (01:27):
You think they checked the Vandy scores.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
They don't check them, but they know it's just the
beat of the you know, of the streets. Hey, Prad's
game last night? Oh just scalpany tickets? Oh hey, who won?
Stuff like that? Because other than that, I don't know
how they're gonna get scores from outside.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
Well, you just told me they all have cell phones.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
I saw a couple that and it was because I
felt so bad because it was windy out. Oh but
they were smart and they were hiding behind an overhang.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
Okay, so I felt bad. I felt better for him.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
And then as I was driving a little bit more slower,
I saw both of them chilling in their sleeping bags
with the overhang, playing on their cell phones. And so
then I really didn't eve feel bad at all. I
felt bad for myself that I had to go to work.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
You felt bad that you had given them two dollars
a day before, and all they did with that two
dollars was buy more lives on candy Crush I'm not.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
Gonna give them two dollars because all I know is
is gonna get used for two things. One is skag
and the other one is cracking stick. And if you
don't know what that means, look it up.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
But here's the thing. Shouldn't you allow them to spend
the money on what they want to spend the money on.
If you're gonna give them money.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
I never have cash.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
Well, I understand that, but I always find this. I
always look at it as look, everybody say, I'm not
gonna give them money. They're just gonna spend it on drugs.
Who gives a crap If they want to spend it
on drugs, Let them spend it on drugs. Whatever they
want to spend it on. It's their money once you
give it to them. It's sort of like your kids
when they earn a dollar, when you give them a
(02:51):
dollar or fifty cents or quarter, whatever it is you
do for picking up the trash or doing the dishes.
Once you give them that money, it's their decision on
what they spend it on. So I don't care if
they're gonna go spend it on drugs, if they're actually
gonna go buy food, they're gonna buy a drink, I
or if they're gonna gamble, if they're gonna take the
(03:11):
over under in a game, I'm not worried about it.
Once I give them money, which is once in every
six hundred years, then that's their decision.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
The decline of the dollar actually did hurt the homeless.
And you may say, why do you guys talk of
the homeless. Guys, Listen, they can get a job. And
I have data and facts to back that up. Any
grocery store gets an unbelievable tax break when they hire
a vet, when they hire a homeless. So I'm telling
you right now, if you have any way of getting
word out to the people on the streets, or if
(03:42):
you have a cell phone you're listening to us right now,
walk to a grocery store right now around the corner.
They will hire you on the spot because it is
that good of a tax break.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
I am not sure that's true about the homeless man.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
It is. It is. And also if you're driving by
on the roads and the interstate instruction, this is data
and fact based. I mean, some of the people holding
the signs, I would say largely have been in the
prison system because those positions get filled immediately after people
are ready to rebuild their life.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
Now, I will say that doesn't take much skill. The
homeless people could hold the sign because a lot of
them are leaning against the sign as they're scrolling their
phone and they don't know if it should be stop
or slow, and you start pulling up and then they
look up and they're like, uh oh, stop or slow.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
The ones that weird me out is when you're going
to get into the gas station at two am. All
I'm trying to get is a prime you know, just
trying to get that pump on. And I got a
guy looking like a flamingo on my left. Bro, I
mean do that in the dark and night, man, freaking
weirds me out. I think I'm at the Nashville a Zoo.
I got a pelican on my left and a flamingo
on my right. Guys do it in a back alley, man,
(04:50):
don't do the skag right in front where they're broad daylight.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
I did see another construction worker out on the sidewalk
over here. He was spray painting, and I'm not quite
sure what he was spray painting, but he was really
good at it. So he's obviously been a spray painter
of the street for many years because he was making
like a little arrow. He would do one boom, straight
line arrow on the other side, and he did it perfectly,
and then he'd walk a few feet one dot, and
(05:15):
then he'd do it again. And he did it all
the way from the gas station across the street, and
then across the street again, and I was like, wow, wow,
every Like when the light would turn red, he would
nail it. Boom boom, boom, boom boom boom. Circle this
dude dot here. I have no idea what it all means,
but I don't know how how he got so good
at drawing. And they're perfectly straight, really good.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
Well, and this is going to blow you guys mind.
What I've realized is sure, there's the Barbara Corcoran's, there's
the Mark Cubans, Kevin O'Leary. They have very John forty businesses,
they have fifty businesses, insane, No know how they do it.
They are the exception of the rule. I would say largely,
everybody has one basic job that they do and the
(06:00):
phenomenal at it. All you do is literally open your
mouth and you're phenomenal at it. It's not literally, bear
with me. All I do is hit buttons on a
specific board in a specific building. If you took me
to another board in this same building, I wouldn't even
know how to use it. I only know how to
use one board in one room, in one building, in
(06:23):
one city in the country. That'll blow your mind for
a second. Okay, you start to realize how specialized people
are in their individual job. And that's how ants build colonies,
and that's how Americans live in America. And I'll hang
up and listen. Truck drivers, we all know. All you
guys do is two things. Lot lizards and steer a wheel.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
They only know how to operate one rig. The tug boaters,
you put them on a different boat, t boat, you
know what I'm talking about, the t G boat, they
wouldn't know what to do. They would have no idea.
And you make that a great point because we have
the boards here, we have all the equipment here, and
(07:08):
a couple times when I've gone back to Austin for
holidays and we've done a box family edition and we
go into the studio you were on holiday and everything
is different, and they're like, how do you not know
how to use this, And I'm like, man, this ain't
the same as ours. It's not the same as oh
hit this everything's on boom. I'm like, I don't know
what I'm pressing. I'm recording it into the wrong computer.
(07:28):
Couldn't even get the dang podcast off the computer until
the engineer came in that following Monday to email it
to me. Absolute disaster. So what you're saying by we
are specialized, it's one hundred percent accurate.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
M Are we going to start the show.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
We're going to start the show, and we're gonna start
to March freaking Madness tomorrow. Oh my god, it is
the best time of the year.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
It's awesome. I didn't even get to talk about it.
I had so many thoughts about it. It is when
my cap Pablo passed away two years ago. So for that,
I'm watching it really.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
Yeah, I would want you to watch.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
It was the one March Madness I never really.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
Watched dang Who won it all that year?
Speaker 2 (08:05):
Yukon ukes and guess what the Yukon is?
Speaker 1 (08:09):
The Huskies? Yeah, dog dogg eat cat.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
Pablo freaking hated dogs. We gotta started.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
Man hy res in peace, Bablo all right, We're.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Gonna do it live. Oh the one shoot sore losers?
Speaker 1 (08:34):
What up, everybody? I am lunchbox. I know the most
about sports, so I give you the sports facts, my
sports opinions, because I'm pretty much a sports genius, y'all
it says.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
And I'm from the north. I'm an alpha male. I
live on the north side of Nashville, Baser. My wife,
she's a country girl, Broadway girl too, now a country girl.
And we live there two acres. We got some guy
to fertilize it and seed it. I haven't seen you
green grass. I've been out there watering it every day
and it is two point two acres, but I only
water as far as the hoseal reach. So I'm watering
about one point one of the acres. The other one
(09:04):
point one until it rains is gonna dry up. Over
to you, man, That's all I got. And are we
talking about March Madness memories or what I mean.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
I'm gonna tell you one of my favorite things about
March Madness and Wednesday night, really Wednesday evening, late night
early in the Thursday morning of March Madness. My favorite
thing is my wife kid.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
I haven't slept in forty eight hours.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
No, it's my wife, because she says she fills out
a bracket. She does her family pool every year. And
at eight o'clock at night on Wednesday, she was like,
I gotta do my research, and she will pull out
papers and write sixteen pages worth of notes. I'm like,
do you realize that just makes no damn difference in
(09:46):
what you're doing. All you have to do is go
and look at the teas and be like, ah, go
on your gut all that research you're doing. And she'll
stay up till one in the morning doing research and
I'm like, you are so out of con She's like, no, no, no.
This guy on cbssports dot com said this. This guy
over here on Yahoo said this. So I'm weighing which one's.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Better statistical says, and I love it.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
I said, you just don't even need to look at it.
You reading notes doesn't help because the experts are the
worst people to listen to. That is when you get
screwed up as you start listening to other people. It's
all I try to fill it out by my knowledge
of watching the game. I guess what happens. I watch
more college. My wife hasn't watched but maybe one Kansas
(10:31):
game all year. She hadn't watch college basketball. She'll do
better than me in the bracket. I'll guarantee you that.
And it ain't because of her stupid research.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
Yeah, I got my sister coming to town. And she goes, Oh,
I wonder what we're gonna do on Friday. She's coming
in a week this weekend. I mean yeah, actually a
week from this weekend, a week from this yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
So she goes, I don't know what we're gonna do
Friday and Saturday. And I go, uh, it's the sweet
sixteen in the late eight I know exactly what we're doing.
We're not doing anything a couching. I mean, you could
go baring no. But we have the kids. She's gonna
have a nephew's And I said, you remember this, right,
growing up, we don't leave the couch all weekend. Dad
(11:11):
would try to make us work in between, but we'd
still catch a lot of games. Analogy test here, physics
tests there.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
It will always fell on spring break for me when
I was a kid, which was awesome because then I
didn't have to miss school. I could just sit there
and watch the games and It was amazing, And the
hardest part is being able to keep your eyes awake
for the first couple of rounds. If you're watching that Friday,
Thursday and Friday, which are tomorrow and the next day,
your eyes start hurting about the five o'clock games, the
(11:38):
six o'clock game, You're just like, oh my gosh. And
it goes all the way till midnight. Starts at eleven
am and it goes till midnight. It is a marathon.
You think truck drivers have it hard trying to haul
lumber across America. You think it's hard to stay awake
on the road when you only can do it an
eight hour shift. March Madness, the first two rounds is
(11:59):
thirty hours. Dude. That is a grind. It's like a
nurse's shift at the hospital six am till six am.
That's hard.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
I'm glad you brought that up. Which did you pick?
In college? Because we were torn. You had to decide
are you faithful to March Madness or did you choose
spring break? Because we would go to Panama City Beach
and the games would be on while we were beaching
it and partying and drinking with chicks. I turned my back,
and I you know what, I'm sorry to this day.
For those couple of years I did go in college
to spring break places Panama City, Beach, Padre, South Padre.
(12:31):
I turned my back on March Madness and we watched
the Hangars instead of the Bank the game. Here's my problem, man,
while I watched the Boobs instead of the Bracket.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
Ah Boobs instead of Bracket Beach, and Babes instead of
the ball I understand babes instead of the boys. I
didn't have any money to go on spring break when
I was in college. I was working at the Sam's Club.
I had to work all the spring break and I
would take the Thursday and off so I could watch
(13:01):
the games. But I did go spring break one time
my senior year. For three days. We went to South
Padre and it was amazing.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
Brownsville.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
Well, we did stay in Brownsville because all the about it.
Padre sold out, man, so yeah, we had to drive
to Padre. Whatever. But I did experience spring break one
time and it was amazing. And I look back at
it now and I'm like, damn, I wish I could
have gone on spring break more. But my life's just
it didn't fit that way. I didn't have the resources,
(13:30):
I didn't have the funds. All my people we worked.
I mean, most people went on spring break. Congratulations, you
guys are amazing. I'm jealous of people that went to
Panama City, went to Padre every year, went to Destin.
Is that a big one?
Speaker 2 (13:43):
The can coon, the more wealthier.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
Okay, can coon things like that. Yeah, I wish I
could have done that. Man. I went to Padre for
three days. That was about it.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
Freshman year, that's when we decided to go. When all
this boys mounted up in the freshman norm and we
all went to Panama City Beach. We went Pana my city.
Sophomore year, did we go? We did? We went back
there Panama Smart from Chicago.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
How far is that?
Speaker 2 (14:08):
I'd want to say, ten hours?
Speaker 1 (14:09):
Not bad? Bro drove, Yeah, but you're breaking it up.
You're not the only one driving, Yeah I was.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
It was my car.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
You didn't let other people drive? No, never mind? Why
did I Why would I even ask? You would not
trust anybody behind the wheel of your own car, dude.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
So that's what we did. And then I moved to Texas.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
So even on the way home, you wouldn't let anybody. No,
Oh my god, after a week of four or five
days of drinking all weekend, you oh my gosh. Wow.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
But dude, we were from Chicago. We're all white, pasty.
We didn't even know the college swag going on. I mean,
obviously we got no chicks whatsoever. But then we went
I went to the club, so every night I was
seeing a different rapper. It was great.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
That's fun.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
And then junior year, I worked like you because it's
when I first moved to Texas, and so I just
picked up. It was called at the time, now it's
called explore. What are the Exfinity? What are the Express
there's all those jobs searching companies. Yeah, I just went
to a day trade one and they put me in
a factory and I like made potted plants for an
(15:07):
entire week instead of spring break. So I made I
made a grand whereas my friend just went and got
s faced on the beach for a week.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
Yeah. Like, I mean, I'll never forget, Like my senior year,
maybe my junior year of high school, I don't remember
which one was chess day.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
I'm talking college.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
Yeah, he was working at Sam's Club, right, and I
wanted a job. It was senior year. I wanted a
job at Sam's. I want to be a cart guy,
and I went and applied and they're like, oh, we're
all full up right now, we'll let you know if
a spot opens. And chess Day wanted to go to
Padre for spring break senior year of high school, and
his parents are like, you're not going to freaking Padre.
You're not going to Padre. You're not You're not going.
(15:41):
So chess Day went in and told work, Hey, I
need the week off. I'm going to Padre and like, well,
you're not. You're not going to go. You're not going
to go. So he just booked his own plane ticket.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
And went solo.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
Missions Well, no, he had friends down there that he met,
and I was like, dude, your parents and he's like,
I gotta go, and he went. His parents got so mad.
But then because he quit Sam's Club and that's when
I got my job at sam Is because he went
to spring break, and so then I had to inform
Dunkin Donuts, Hey man, I'm moving on to sam So
I'm gonna be a cart guy. I can no longer
(16:09):
make the donuts and Old Jack Bone was like, all right, man,
we're gonna miss you around here. So you did one
Padre senior year of college.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
I did two Panama City Beaches too padres. One of
the Padres was five years after I graduated. We did
a bit on the show.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
For work and that was pretty awesome or was it
the most miserable experience of your life?
Speaker 2 (16:30):
It was unbelievably awesome because everybody hooked you upcase.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
Everybody knew you were there and that's how you got in.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
Yeah, they uh free access VIP to stuff. And then
they let me stay at a house and I eventually
got kicked out of that house because all their dudes
chicks wanted me, and like they all thought that it
was gonna be funny. So I was from the radio.
But then they realized all of a sudden they were
getting jealous and it's a real emotion. So they literally
the guy goes, hey, you should probably leave that one
guy wants to kick your a's going ma And I go,
(16:58):
all right, dude, I'll just sleep in my or for
the next three nights.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
Yeah, that's not good. That's like when I went to Padre,
but it wasn't even spring break. It was just I
was at a wedding in McAllen and I met these
two chicks on the plane and we went to Padre.
They were standing in Padre and we went to some
after party and this dude. I was sitting on the
edge of the pool talking to this hottie that I
met on the planet in my phone in my pocket,
and he pushed me in the water. And I was pissed.
(17:22):
Being funny, Yeah, being funny. I didn't know the dude,
so my phone's ruined.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
I didn't say it was funny.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
I was pissed. He's like, here, man, I'll give you
some shorts, blah blah blah. And it wasn't about the
shorts to close whatever, And it was my phone, Like
I don't have a phone now, and so I went
into the room to change. I just pissed all over
the bed. I pissed all over someone's bed.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
Dude, break up.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
And I mean, looking back, probably the stupidest thing I've
ever done.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
But you were mad. It was emotional.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
It was emotional. I was drunk. But if one of
those dudes, I mean, because it was a house of dudes,
they would have walked in and I'm pissing on the
I would have got my ass.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
Well, one of them definitely woke up and thought that
he pissed himself the night before.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
Or he just got in bed and thought, oh, I'm
just wet from the pool. They were so drunk they
didn't realize it. But the smell of urine the next morning,
I can only imagine had you wreak so freaking bad.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
It's not the worst thing because we had a buddy,
God love him, he would couldn't control it after a
drink a lot, and he pissed on the couch. It
didn't ever smell that bad, but you'd realize it once
you sat down that it was wet. Ugh, So just
to make you feel a little bit better, maybe the
guy didn't.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
No, I don't feel bad at all. I was very
happy with the whole thing. Like I was excited that
I did it. I was proud of myself, and I
needed my phone because the next next day, when I
was flying back, I was getting off the plane and
I was driving to Elgin because we were having a
little like family reunion.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
You would think it's pronounced el Gin. It's Elgin, it
is Elgin, It's not Elgin. Learned that at Texas State.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
Yeah, Well, we were going and we were going to
Ellen and Dwayne's house and their kids from Oklahoma were
coming down, and so I was getting right off the airplane,
but I had never been to their Elgin house. So
I had to go to the freaking store and get
a new phone before I got on the airplane right
there in freaking McAllen. I mean it was rough, but yeah,
I peed all over that bed. Dude, did we start
(19:19):
the show? Yeah, yeah we did. We're gonna take a break,
and I gotta be honest. Tomorrow's Thursday. I made a
big mistake.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
And we got to do that murder eventually this hour.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
We'll be right back right, I tell you, man, marsh
Madden is my favorite time of year. I sit there
and watch all the games.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
Have the kids caught the bug yet a little bit? Daddy?
Why are you yelling at the TV at eleven am?
A little bit?
Speaker 1 (19:51):
Well, they're gonna be a see. Here's the thing. They
go to school, but they get it a little bit.
They want to watch Kansas. They don't really care about
anybody else. But I made a huge mistake because there
was an email that came through probably three weeks ago,
and it said, hey, kindergarten field trip at twelve o'clock
(20:12):
on Thursday, and I'm like, oh, I would love to chaperone.
I no, I have never been on a field trip before.
And baby Box has been asking me, Hey, Dada, how
come you never go on me my field trips with me?
Mama always goes I'm I'm always working, Bud, you always
do it in the morning.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
Does he see other dads at these Yeah, what has
happened in our society?
Speaker 1 (20:35):
And so I'm like, yeah, Bud, I'd love to go.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
I'd love to go.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
I can only go if it's in the afternoon. And
I got the email and it said twelve o'clock Thursday,
and I'm like, I am in, I am all about
going on the field trip. I'm going to chaperone. Sign
me up. So I emailed the teacher, Hello, missus kindergarten teacher.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
You emailed her from our email I know from my
personal will tell me before I hit the sume sorry.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
Personal email, and I said, I would love to be
a chaperone on the freaking field trip. I've been wanting
to do this all year and baby Box has been
begging me, So sign me up. If you still got.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
Room and is there a head count on the MILFs?
Speaker 1 (21:15):
And I got an email back about what was it
to our email? No, it was just my normal email.
Got it and it said, hey, we'd love to have you.
Can't wait. Got you down. You'll be one of the
six chaperones from our class. And I said, great, I'm
all excited. I'm so pumped.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
Gonna be a chaparone.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
I'm gonna be a chaperone. Baby Box gets off the
bus that day and I'm like, dude, guess what. I'm
gonna get to chaperone your your field trip? And he's
like really, I'm like yeah, He's like, where are we going.
I'm like, I don't even know. But it said twelve o'clock.
I'm gonna be there. It's gonna cost me ten dollars
as a chaperone to go. I'm so pumped, dude, I
can't wait. He's like yeah. I was like, I wonder
who's gonna be in our group because you get a
(21:56):
couple of his buddies in our group. As I'm the chaperone,
I'm responsible for those that set of kids.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
Thanks, I'm not chaperoning that day.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
And now I realize it's a March, the start of
March madness. It's the first round the NCAA tournament.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
Brutal beat and so that's when that's what Oh Dennis
and haircut. Yeah, Thursday and noon. That should always work,
except for March madness. Dude. You gotta know when it's
March something mad's gonna be happening.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
I understand. I messed up. I totally screwed it. I
didn't I didn't think about looking at the dates. I
just saw, you know, the twentieth or whatever, and I
was like, yes, I am in for a freaking chaperone.
Why would you not want a chaperone?
Speaker 2 (22:36):
Dude, Dude, I love kids, love chaperoning. But anytime anybody
says something in March, I always say, whoa, whoa March madness. Okay,
so what my dad and mom said, they're coming to town.
Sister said she's coming to town. First thing I said
was whoa, whoa March madness. Okay, yeah, we can work
that in. It's got to be your first thought.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
Here's the crazy part. This is how much I think
ahead about March madness.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
If it's your favorite thing, you know about the madness
during this month.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
I do, and I do. And I just got I
got blinded by my kid and the ability to chaperone June.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
They can have it July. Have it, dude, March madness.
It's the only sport that takes it a month and
uses it as part of its name.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
You're right?
Speaker 2 (23:20):
Ray? Is it called NBA Finals fun June Jubilee? Ray?
Is it called NFL's Super Bowl February. It is the
only sport so powerful and so madness that they have
to include a month in its name.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
Yeah, And I couldn't go back and tell the teacher, actually,
you know, March madness is happening. I'm gonna go ahead
and skip the field trip. I don't even know how
long the field trip lasts.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
But can we please talk about the other chaperones outside
the moms. If there's any dads, what frecking losers? Who
else would sign up for that? If there's another dad
on that thing, call me, slap me and call me
spak You want to, you loser? Who would said? I
don't care if my kid, if all five of my
(24:05):
kids are in the same school, I ain't going.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
Yeah, I realized, I think I'm gonna be with a
bunch of women. It's not gonna be any dads, And
I have to look at myself in the mirror that
morning and I'm gonna have to say, man, you really
screwed up. So tomorrow morning is you're excited and you're
sitting in front of that TV to watch tip off
and you're the tournament is underway, and you're wondering, I
wonder if Lunchbox is glued to the TV. Just know,
(24:31):
I'm not. No, I'm on the field trip. And here's
the thing. I had to go for it because it's noon.
I gotta be there, and it's gonna be the last
field trip of the year. Because the school year is
almost over. Baby Box is almost done with kindergarten, and
that means I would have gone his whole kindergarten without
chaperoning one of his field trip coach.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
It gives the rips. I'm getting sentimental. You're a working dad.
You want to know how many donuts what are they
called donut coffee with kid? Dad? Was it within two
hundred miles of the school? All right? I mean right
down the street. He didn't go to one donut with kid,
He didn't go to one talent show, one in school
basketball game. But if it was after five. He went
to every single one of them.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
Come on, I don't think we ever had donuts with dad.
They invented all these holidays that make you feel like
a bad parent nowadays.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
With Sadie Hawkins. Dude, this rich dad. I follow his
daughter as a dance every year. My dad never went
to no dance with my sister.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
We didn't have no dance with my sister. My dad
never went to a dance. There was never an option
to go to a dance with my sister. There was
never donuts with Dad, and milk with moms, milk the mama's.
There was none of that. We had none of those.
They do this now, grapes with grandparents or whatever. I
don't even know what they call him, grapefruits with grandparents.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
I take it back. My dad came to one talent
show and I had already played my drum solo and
he wasn't there yet, And then he walked in the door,
and the music teacher goes, your dad's here, would you
play it again? And dude, I sucked at it already,
and then I had to double down and play it
one more time and Dad walks in. He's got his
heart shirt on, his helmet on because he'd been in
the woods, his big old glasses on because he'd been
(26:05):
cutting timber, and the entire school looks at him. He's
got his ear muffs on. He literally just got done
cutting down a tree. And I'm sitting there playing a
drum solo for just my dad. Bro. I was terrible
at drums, but yeah, it what made you do the
drums man? Somebody told me, they go you don't have
to carry anstrument home.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
That's legit. Do you know what you played or did
you just just play a beat? Or did we would
do I'm talking about in the Talent show Man. Well
were you playing a song or were you just playing
a beat?
Speaker 2 (26:34):
It was a song. And then it went to us
drummers when we did the solo. And so my dad
doesn't know music, and I was just like, Pops is
probably I'll stick to the after five pm stuff.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
Incredible. I was in The Talent show Man and I
was a one man talent show. I didn't have a
group with me. I was by myself.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
Ray I played the flute.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
No, no, everybody else had like a partner. They had
all these people. I would up there by myself and
I did a little one man at.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
What are you one of the guys in those cruise ships?
Speaker 1 (27:06):
Basically is what I was, man, I had. I had
a bow tie the chick.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
At the halftime of the Spurs games the Bulls.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
That lady is amazing. Guys, if you have ever seen
the bull Lady at a halftime of an event, that
lady she's on like a unicycle and she flips these
freaking bowls on top of her head. I don't know
how much money she makes, but I would love to
get her on the pod because she is fantastic.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
Could she flip a spoon? No? Specialized talent career that
is what America is, and she is perfect for that.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
It just came full circle.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
So anyway, I got up there at the talent show
and I had like a bowsye and like a like
a women's hair to like a bow that goes in
a women's hairyanky. But they were just one sided, so
they were on the same one. You just had to
flip it back and forth. So I held it above
my head. I'm gonna switch to a woman ding and
I'm like, I can't pay the rent. I don't have
(28:03):
enough money. And then I put it down here you
must pay the runner. I'll have to kick you out.
I can't, you must, I can't, you must, And then
you have one all pay the rent. Oh my, here
you were a man woman. I was a man woman.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
He goes.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
On was the land I was the landlord and the tenant.
The tenant was gonna get kicked out because she couldn't
pay the rent, and the landlord was like, you must,
I can't you bust. But then her knight and shining
armor comes out of nowhere. I'll pay the rent, my hero,
oh oo, and the crowd goes crazy. The crowd goes crazy.
(28:46):
I mean, what a great, great play that I just
put off.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
And society was affected the next thirty years because of
that act.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
I mean, are you telling me that I did not
just own the stage in front of all of Summit
Elementary by myself coming up with this little patent dance. Fantastic,
that's good.
Speaker 2 (29:07):
I was never an entertainer because I would do that,
but I didn't know you were there to entertain people. Oh.
I remember the talent shows, but I never had fun
doing them. I didn't understand the point of a talent
show is to entertain I just thought you just go
through the motions and then nobody would ever really cheer
for us, And I never understood why. Yeah, you gotta
be into it.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
You gotta do something connect with the audience. Yeah, I
mean you had other people that are doing dance routines,
singing songs. You know what I mean. I'm like, guys,
get out of here. I didn't win. Of course I
didn't win, but I should have won.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
Why would I not win.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
I'm the only one that did it by myself.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
Coming in third place? Man, woman, my h man, woman
didn't even think about it. But yeah, so tomorrow, when
you're enjoying March Madness, just no, I'm gonna be snuck
stuck with a bunch of snotty nose kindergarteners at wherever
(29:59):
we're going, and I'm gonna love every minute of it,
and I'm gonna be addicted to my phone looking at
those scores March freaking Madness. Ladies, check your harnesses or hangars,
I mean harnesses, MILFs. We can only hope you got
some cool parents, otherwise this can be brutal trying to
babysit some other people's kids.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
Hey, lunchbox, lunchbox. Have you seen Tom He's supposed to
be in your group. No, but I know that the
Rutgers is down five at halftime. Uh what did you say,
little Timmy?
Speaker 2 (30:28):
Oh? I was with Teresa. Yeah, Teresa's good though.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
I mean yeah, you're not here to chaperone the parents.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
Yeah, it's over under. Oh the overhit the first half,
you know, the race to ten h Yeah.
Speaker 2 (30:39):
Lunch, what's your count? What's your count? One hundred and twenty,
one hundred twenty kids? We only came with twenty. Oh
I thought you meant the current count of the LSU game.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
Yeah, man, no, I needed to I got the square,
I got five six, So I really need them to
hit this free throw. I need them to hit this
free throw. Oh man. So yeah, man, I'll be at
the chaperone. I'll be a chaperone in a freaking field
trip tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
Lunch, did you get the count of the sixteen kids? Yes?
Sweet sixteen? No, no, no, what are you talking about?
Elite eight?
Speaker 1 (31:07):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (31:07):
Yeah, I was an elite eight of them that went
the bathroom and then the final four are over there,
but all together, it's a sweet sixteen.
Speaker 1 (31:14):
I have Memphis going to the sweet sixteen. What No, No,
we're not. You're never chaperoning again. Thanks. I will take
a break, and we got a murder to solve. We'll
be right back. Also, I got breaking news.
Speaker 2 (31:30):
Not during the murder.
Speaker 1 (31:31):
Your factual information from earlier is absolutely.
Speaker 2 (31:33):
False statistical season.
Speaker 1 (31:36):
I texted Garrett and I said, do you get a
tax break for hiring a homeless person at the grocery store?
He said, no, there you go.
Speaker 2 (31:44):
Is he that high up in management?
Speaker 1 (31:46):
He runs his own store?
Speaker 2 (31:47):
Oh? Does he live in Tennessee? I don't know.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
I just want, I just want. I went to I
had to go fact check.
Speaker 2 (31:55):
It's pretty factual.
Speaker 1 (31:56):
It might be maybe he's just wrong. Maybe he doesn't
know anything.
Speaker 2 (32:02):
Yeah, because I would have never run with that if
it wasn't data driven.
Speaker 1 (32:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (32:07):
Interesting. Maybe it's just the big box stores that may
be it okay, and a certain number in a certain state.
I don't know he lives in Texas.
Speaker 1 (32:15):
Whatever.
Speaker 2 (32:16):
Guys, this is gonna be the most pointless story ever.
But maybe it'll give you a look inside of our
work office here. And it is somewhat interesting. If it's
one percent, it's more interesting than the guys that are
in their trucks right now, lunch. The stuff I see
when I come to the office and nobody else is here. Okay,
so it was one am. I roll into the office.
It's just your typical normal day. All the lights are
(32:38):
off as you walk by them. The lights do go on.
They're all sensory, so it's able to save it on
electricity and the bills and stuff. Guys, it's energy efficiency,
all right.
Speaker 1 (32:50):
I do like it when you walk in a room
and the lights start on. It's like, well that was cool.
Speaker 2 (32:53):
It's pretty bad. So I'm going past the kitchen. The
lights were already on, means somebody went past in the
last ten to fifteen minutes. And it's one am. I
look in and there is wine dumped down the whole
freezer section of the fridge. I don't want to say
it's just like shattered. There's no wineglass, but there's a
distinct wine glass that was tipped over and dumped on
(33:15):
the fridge. Ooh okay, And so I think, uh, it's
kind of dirty. Somebody was messy. They must have had a
happy hour. Then I see a cabinet open. Oh, and
I look in the cabinet. Did you know in the kitchen.
We have fifteen bottles of wine in the cabinet adjacent
to the fridge.
Speaker 1 (33:36):
Did not know this and they are just there and.
Speaker 2 (33:40):
It's a secret stash. Someone went into that secret sash
after hours and had themselves some wines. Maybe it was
after the basketball games, and they left the cabinet open
dumped wine because they were So I'm gonna have to
make the assumption inebriated.
Speaker 1 (33:59):
Whoa under the influence is what you're saying.
Speaker 2 (34:03):
But somebody had themselves a good old time up until
about one am. Get no wind up and wind down,
and I'm fin to find out who it was. But
you're ever up here on a random night and you're
looking for boozers that cabinet pointless story, But good gosh,
something went on until about one am last night.
Speaker 1 (34:22):
How many people do you think were in the building
by the look of it, Like, was it one person
hitting the bottle? Is it one person that's hiding this
from their spouse so they have to drink it at work?
The fact is somebody a group of people that went
out and they wanted to have a nightcap before they
went home.
Speaker 2 (34:38):
So I believe it was multiple people because in the fridge.
They're champagne in the fridge. There's individual cans of beer.
So they needed something more than that. They went for
the whole shelf with bottles of wine and said, give
me that. If it ain't a leader, give me death.
I think it's about four people went to the basketball games,
(34:58):
came back, needed the night cap, reach for that, didn't
shut cabinets, tossing and turning and laughing, engulping, and I
saw the aftermath. There's nothing illegal that went on. But no,
he damn somebody having this sounds a good old time
upntil about one am, and I'll hang up and listen
on that one coach again. I told you it was
a pointless story.
Speaker 1 (35:19):
And they're gonna be at their desk by nine am, right,
check the time cards. Yeah, excuse me? Who was late today? Sandra? So, Sandra,
can I see you in the kitchen please? Yeah, yes, Sandra.
How you doing this morning?
Speaker 2 (35:34):
Sandra? I like your red lipstick.
Speaker 1 (35:36):
I don't have any on Oh that's another point against Sandra.
So you were late this morning, Sandra, and you have
red lips, but you say you didn't have any lipsticks?
So would you happen to know anything about this? Spelled
wine here, Sandra, you.
Speaker 2 (35:52):
Gotta go check it out though the secret stash bro
one two, three, No, no, no, there's fifteen bottles of wine
in there.
Speaker 1 (36:00):
Question who pays for that wine? Do you think we
charge it to the company or do you think people
are It's like a community, like, Hey, I'll bring a
bottle of wine everybody. There was an email that was
sent that, Hey, we're going to stock this with a
bottle of wine. Everybody bring one, and then it's kind
of help yourself as you want some wine.
Speaker 2 (36:18):
Not answering. I'm assuming that was rhetorical. Here is the answer.
Speaker 1 (36:21):
No, I was trying to get.
Speaker 2 (36:22):
We know about the count fifteen bottles, So over the
next one week, one month, we look at it. If
those things start getting depleted needing to be replenished, if
there's all of a sudden seven then four, then two,
there's something in this building's got a serious alcohol problem
and we found their stockpile. Okay, and I'll hang up
and I'll listen. If we do, pray, do you think
(36:45):
it's bones he doesn't drink.
Speaker 1 (36:48):
If we do stumble up across someone that has a
drinking problem.
Speaker 2 (36:51):
Pray, do you think it's Amy?
Speaker 1 (36:54):
No, I don't. I don't think she'd be up at
one am.
Speaker 2 (36:57):
I doesn't really drink, and if she does, it's her
Kuila is what she loves.
Speaker 1 (37:01):
I think we're gonna have to set up cameras in
the kitchen.
Speaker 2 (37:04):
Baser loves wine, but she works from home. You can
rule her out. Me I hate wine. You can rule
me out. So in the office, you gotta be on
the old ears and eyes and ears. Who's an officiado
of the old winery?
Speaker 1 (37:21):
I know who it is. I know who it is.
Speaker 2 (37:25):
Okay, you can allegedly say I got.
Speaker 1 (37:31):
A call, I gotta call, I gotta take I'll be
right over here in my I'm just gonna walk around
the halls real quick. That would be my guest. Let
me tell you something about me. I don't understand wine.
I've had wine. I don't like the taste of wine.
I don't get it tastes terrible to me. My wife,
she enjoys herself a glass of wine, and she always says, here,
(37:51):
it tastes this wine, this one's good. And guess what,
it tastes just as crappy as another glass of wine
she had me taste two weeks ago. So wine is
not how I co sign wine is probably maybe it's
too fine for me. And I mean, I ain't gonna
pay a dime. It ain't me. Mark me off the list.
Speaker 2 (38:09):
Mine no mine. So yeah, hey, be on the old lookout.
You hear somebody says, oh I love wine. Oh whoa.
Speaker 1 (38:19):
Well, what were you doing last night at one am?
Speaker 2 (38:22):
Dude? I'm with you on that wine. One time when
me and Bezer, maybe a year after we first started dating,
I did wine the worst wine hangover, and apparently you're
not supposed to chug it. It's a sipper, is what
you do with the wine?
Speaker 1 (38:34):
Yeah, you sit there and hold it and it's it's
like a whole performance. You gotta spin it around, You gotta.
I don't even know if people do this seeing it
on movies. But you spin it around and you and
you the dink of the glass, setting it back down,
let it sit there for a little bit. Is it
like supposed to marinate? I don't know why they leave
it sitting there so long.
Speaker 2 (38:55):
Since then, I've never been to wine. If it is,
it can be a light colored wine. There's a reasling
that's good, but the red did you want to catch
me dead? With the red wine.
Speaker 1 (39:03):
Yeah. Like when we had a basketball team party at
the house, my wife told me, hey, pick up a
we're I was at the grocery store set pick up
a Mota box bottle of Savon blanc.
Speaker 2 (39:15):
Ye.
Speaker 1 (39:15):
Some bank said that's white. I think maybe I don't
have the right name right. So I went to the
wine aisle and I found one for eight ninety nine.
Some Baugh got it Cabernet is red cab And I
brought it home and she's like, you really got the
cheapest one, And I'm like yes, She goes, you know
how embarrassing that is for these people. Go you couldn't
(39:36):
even just buy like a twelve dollars bottle. I'm like,
you went for the eight. Yeah, However they eight man
rock bottoms like twelve.
Speaker 2 (39:44):
I'm like, I have no idea what I think Costco
sells one friend or twenty.
Speaker 1 (39:48):
I was like, I don't know the difference in wine,
but some of them, it says some on BA And
I've been told that it doesn't matter if it's a
fifty dollars bottle or an eight dollar bottle. You can't
tell the difference. So why wouldn't I get the eight dollars.
She goes because everybody shops is. It's gonna know. We
bought the cheapest bottle of wine. I'm like, who gives
a damn? And guess how much when that wine got
drinking at the party? Zero zero.
Speaker 2 (40:07):
Maybe it's the thing of the past. The Romans really
the only ones to drink wine.
Speaker 1 (40:10):
Hey, so maybe my wife was right. Maybe people saw them.
We're like, we're not drinking that eight dollars bottle of wine.
I have no idea, but the wine did not get touched.
Speaker 2 (40:17):
Baser doesn't even drink wine anymore. She used to love it.
I'd swear she'd do a glass every night. Now maybe
it's glass here, a week, glass there a week rarely,
but just not a big thing because yeah, sometimes when
they're next to you can get a whit waff of
it doesn't smell good.
Speaker 1 (40:33):
I don't smell good.
Speaker 2 (40:34):
I don't know if the butt heavy smell good, but
they gotta smell better than wine.
Speaker 1 (40:37):
Yeah, I don't know. Well, we're gonna take a break.
We'll be right back. We got a big announcement, big
announcement right after. We'll be right back. I just want
to let you guys know, big announcement.
Speaker 2 (40:51):
You're alive.
Speaker 1 (40:52):
There will be no pod Friday. There's gonna be no
pod Friday. Listen, I screwed up. I'm going on a
chaperone thing.
Speaker 2 (40:58):
Top.
Speaker 1 (41:00):
Yeah, I'm going on a chaperone thing tomorrow, So I
don't have time to come in on Friday and do
a pod. I need to get out of here as
soon as asap so I can get home and get
my butt on the couch and watch some games. I'm
already gonna miss the morning session of tomorrow's games. And
I just love this and I don't want to sit
here and go over it for an hour and talk
about the games. You're gonna see the scores. The excitement
(41:22):
will still be there on Monday, when half of our
teams are eliminated. Everybody's gonna be mad and pissed off.
Your brackets will be busted, you won't have hit a square.
Everything will be miserable. The one day you look forward
to every single year will already be halfway over, and
you'll be very depressed about it, but you'll still be
very excited. And I don't want to ruin. And you're
not gonna have time to listen to a pod this weekend,
(41:42):
You're gonna be watching game after game after game after game,
and I don't want to take up forty five minutes
to an hour of your time when basketball needs to
be watched.
Speaker 2 (41:51):
I can't even remember how I got out of it.
In high school, I think we just said that we
were maybe I had poll or something, but.
Speaker 1 (41:58):
Yet polio, yes, that we would pall.
Speaker 2 (42:02):
It was Marcus Mishka, me and Matt Davis and junior year.
Speaker 1 (42:05):
Oh you had a mad Davis. We had a mad Davis.
Speaker 2 (42:07):
Junior year we all went to his house. Okay, yeah,
watch marsh Madness. It was great and for two hours.
Again it was a strict school. Really, maybe we just
left and you get up strike here and it doesn't
go against you or something. So we went and watched
his house. Well. The next year, dude, he was off
to college at either Bay or Hoton.
Speaker 1 (42:24):
We went to Holten.
Speaker 2 (42:25):
Yeah, no, crasp, So we just can't tell someone to
win to Houghten. Hey, we said, keep the traditional alive.
Let's just go to his house. We went. Senior year,
he was in college. We went to his house, kept
the Trician alive. He wasn't even there and breaking and
entering went into it. This is how invincible. Sometimes kids
think they are go into his house and watch the
games while his parents were at work. That's prett legit
(42:45):
because it's kind of like a flophouse. But if they
would have come home, they would have thought they got
broke into We're just two kids downstairs with some pizza
watching college basketball.
Speaker 1 (42:54):
But that's when that was the good old days when
you could do that.
Speaker 2 (42:56):
Bro we broke into his house.
Speaker 1 (42:59):
No, no, I mean there was no See we didn't
break into anybody's house like my hood, like my parents.
We never locked our house. We never locked the door.
Speaker 2 (43:06):
I think it was one of those too.
Speaker 1 (43:07):
And so people came and went as they wonted, like
people just walk in, walk out, walk in, walk out.
We wouldn't be there. They'd go up in our room,
check on us. Nope, not there, all right. They'd walk
in the pantry, get a snack.
Speaker 2 (43:17):
Leave.
Speaker 1 (43:18):
I mean our house was just come grab something, leave
all right. See you later, have a great weekend whatever.
It was, amazing, dude, March Madness.
Speaker 2 (43:25):
You'll always remember the time my dad got me the
hat from the Tampa March Madness wore it for years.
The time you get it out of the newspaper and
fill it all in the bracket for the first time,
the time where your dad doesn't have cable, So I
would somehow figure out the scores days later and have
to write them all in of the teams that won.
Then when we did get cable, we didn't get all
(43:46):
the games. So I would go on direct TV and
it would show you the schedule of the teams that
are gonna play, so you could tell who got beat
Here we're all working, I had sports and stuff, so
then I would be say, oh, they must have won
they played this next round, so then I'd fill out
the bracket. The memories are endless. In high schools, when
I finally started being a bookie for multiple years, I
was the guy that collected all the money. Never won it,
(44:07):
but just the power of getting all the money and
getting everybody's forms and having my Manila envelope. There's something
so special about that.
Speaker 1 (44:14):
It really is. And I mean the fact that we
used to highlight the ones that were wrong, and then
you would just go down and you would count one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine,
got nine riots you write nine down there, and then
you go over here on two, three, five. So after
the first round, chess day has fourteen points, all right,
(44:35):
to go to the next sheet after the first round,
Batter's box has fifteen points. And you would just do
that and people would call, hey, how many points I got?
What place am I in? What place am I in?
Speaker 2 (44:47):
It was amazing those afternoon classes when the games have
already started. Mister vv not mister VIV, mister Trebeco Treyjo something,
Michael Treyo. No, we're in the geography t and we're
in his class, and nobody can pay attention because somebody's
getting upset. No game right now, dude, that's all a buzz.
(45:09):
I can't believe those teachers even were able to get
a lesson planned next to us. They had to be,
and some of them would pull it up. I was
just saying, did the teachers not care back in the
day or did it? Was it not a big deal?
Did teachers not understand what march madness was? But I
had I'm telling you, I had spring break every time
the first round was spring break. So it was amazing
(45:30):
in college or high school both. No. See I was
in Michigan, so I was different.
Speaker 1 (45:35):
Yeah you were different. Yeah, we were Quay different.
Speaker 2 (45:37):
No, for sure.
Speaker 1 (45:38):
Michigan University of Michigan. You said their spring break was
last week. That's Binanda.
Speaker 2 (45:42):
But I'm saying the High School of Michigan ours always
matched up. So yeah, because when March Madness, it was
always memories of in school and teachers either pull it up,
some of them would put it on mute, or some
of them just acted like there was no you'd have
your algebra teacher. Dude, you go into a cold, dark
room and there's not one sign of life in March
Madness is going on, and you have no cell phones,
You have no way to check scores until you go
(46:03):
in the hallway and you see the break room or
the kids lounge. You had a kid's lounge, just a
lounge for guys would go neck with their chick.
Speaker 1 (46:11):
No, we didn't have that.
Speaker 2 (46:12):
Well it was like crappy. No, it was one TV.
Speaker 1 (46:16):
We didn't have a TV in lounge. We didn't have
any of that.
Speaker 2 (46:19):
Oh, I mean I went to a very poor school,
so you must went into a dirt poor school.
Speaker 1 (46:23):
I mean, I've never heard of it lounge where kids
went and hung out with a TV. Never in my life.
Speaker 2 (46:27):
You didn't have one TV. In your school.
Speaker 1 (46:30):
No, no, in the classroom when they would do Channel
one with Anderson Cooper and Lisa Ling. Right, but during
March Madness, and I don't know, changem. I the only
one that thought Lisa Ling was hot. I don't know
what I mean. I was like, dang, that's girl's hot.
I love this class.
Speaker 2 (46:42):
Go algebra where there is this geography? Geometry?
Speaker 1 (46:45):
Yeah, go Lisa Ling. All right, do you have.
Speaker 2 (46:47):
Memories of cable being in the classroom with March Madness on? No,
you don't, dude.
Speaker 1 (46:52):
I'm telling you. I was on spring break every March
Madness every time. So then the second round they were
the games were at night, so they weren't during school.
I'm telling you it was not on during my school time.
Speaker 2 (47:02):
That's for when you remember. That's when you know the
cool teacher. You know, geography guy, whatever's damn name was,
remember him? Uh?
Speaker 1 (47:09):
Geography was Miss Berkhart, dude.
Speaker 2 (47:10):
Our English teacher. And she also did a newspaper, never
talk sports all year. We walked into her class. She's
got the TV on in the game. Love her for that.
Then there's algebra, I mean there was there. There wasn't
even a mention of march Man and she just go
in there and die. Dude.
Speaker 1 (47:26):
Yeah, I'm not sure. Miss Badoya was really much into
march madness. I doubt she would have had it on
her TV or Miss Wheat. I don't know she would
have had it on. Then there was she was a stickler.
Speaker 2 (47:36):
Missus Williams. I think her name was she Goes. She
was a women's empowerment Yeah, so she was what, uh,
did you guys fell out your women's brackets?
Speaker 1 (47:48):
Yeah? All you do is put euconnor Tennessee. Back in
the day, those were only two teams that could win it.
Speaker 2 (47:52):
Well, I think she tried to put on the women's games.
Speaker 1 (47:54):
Oh oh yeah, I mean I I yeah, I mean
Miss she was a geometry She wouldn't have put it on.
I don't think.
Speaker 2 (48:04):
Now.
Speaker 1 (48:04):
Mister Lampkin, he was accounting, he would have for sure
put it on. He was awesome. He would That dude
would leave the classroom and then come running back in
and jump on his desk like jump up, be like
did you miss me?
Speaker 2 (48:18):
That's pretty awesome? And I was like what he was
probably on skag.
Speaker 1 (48:23):
And he was like, all right, let's do some accounting.
It was wild, but all right, man, you guys have
a great weekend. I mean, enjoy the first two rounds
of March madness. Good luck to your teams. I hope
your bracket is amazing. I hope you win millions of dollars. Oh, man,
it's gonna be a great, great field trip, great field trip. Man.
I'll tell you all about it on Monday.
Speaker 2 (48:42):
I think we're gonna do a bracket with the family,
not my parents. It takes my dad days to fill
out the bracket, and they're on their trip, so he's
not gonna be able to multitask.
Speaker 1 (48:50):
Yeah, I don't worry about nine o'clock the night my parents
would call us, call me. How do I get in?
How do I get in? I'm like same as every year,
same as every.
Speaker 2 (48:57):
I'm outside your house with four quad ready to make
march mannis got the poster board and markers. And remember your.
Speaker 1 (49:07):
National champ is rock Chug Jay.
Speaker 2 (49:12):
You don't even want my talk that I gave you
outside of this room.
Speaker 1 (49:15):
Please just win a game.
Speaker 2 (49:16):
I said, Kansas has to win two games. The first
one will be easy, the second one a little bit tricky.
And then you're in the sweet sixteen. And why is
the sweet sixteen significant because it's sweet because it's the
exact same number, give or take a couple. That's for
the college football playoff and college football playoff, anything can happen.
(49:39):
It's imagine that, dude, your team is making the college
football playoff. Why don't you understand that? Make sure they
got they got an uphill battle. But that's a crazy
chance unless you're like, go to a school like Drexel
or Wagner and you got no chance. But dude, you
(49:59):
got a chance. Ants man, you gotta believe.
Speaker 1 (50:02):
Hey, do you believe in miracles? Anything that's possible? Exep
for Kansas winning it.
Speaker 2 (50:09):
Who's your center again, Hawkinson?
Speaker 1 (50:10):
No Dickinson? God, I mean, I just can't. I want
to be I just want to win a game. Just
please don't be one and done, Like, just win one game.
Please win one game, thank you, good night, We'll see
you later.
Speaker 2 (50:25):
God and rarely. I was looking back at previous years,
and never does all the number one seeds go.
Speaker 1 (50:31):
I think only one time in history, man, one time,
And there's always some random always some random like weird
team that comes from like the seventh seed or sixth seed,
or five or eight or twelve or fourteen or Butler
or VCU who came from the playing game. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (50:48):
And guys, I've run the data in stats. Your first
two games are going to be simple, unless your Kansas
lunch says he'll probably face the number two second game,
but allegedly. But your first two games are simple. All
you have to do is win for or is it
six six six? So it is that? I mean, and
you're a champion six games. MLB plays that in a week.
(51:12):
That's wild.
Speaker 1 (51:13):
That's crazy, man. That dream is right there. You can
almost taste it, but you gotta get by the first round.
Speaker 2 (51:19):
First man one, shiny man. This sounds kind of sounds
like it
It's perfect.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
No, I already started it.
Speaker 1 (00:03):
Oh you started it?
Speaker 2 (00:03):
Yeah, it captured you saying it it's perfect.
Speaker 1 (00:06):
Man, Hey, tomorrow's the day baby hit it one shining mo. No,
but we can't even play anymore because we're not allowed
to play music on the pod. Right.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Well, if it's approved by iHeart this one was approved,
maybe it works.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
That doesn't have the same ring to it as the
ball is tipped. I mean that. Yeah. I don't know
the rest of the words, though, I mean, do you
realize what kind of feelings an emotion this brings for
me and everybody around America? Do you percentage of people
(00:44):
that watch March Madness one hundred?
Speaker 2 (00:48):
Okay, Ray, you don't think there's one homeless person that doesn't.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
Want No, No, I'm not counting the homeless because they
don't have access to TVs.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
They all have cell phones.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
That's a great point. Didn't think about that they check scores.
Do you think the homeless people still have their favorite
teams that they cheered for as a kid, and like
maybe they grew up in Pittsburgh and so they're still
Steelers fans, or they grew up in uh, New Jersey,
so they're still you know, cheering for the Scarlet Knights.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
I bet they root for the team and the town
that they're in. So you think they checked the Preds
scores anchored down?
Speaker 1 (01:27):
You think they checked the Vandy scores.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
They don't check them, but they know it's just the
beat of the you know, of the streets. Hey, Prad's
game last night? Oh just scalpany tickets? Oh hey, who won?
Stuff like that? Because other than that, I don't know
how they're gonna get scores from outside.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
Well, you just told me they all have cell phones.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
I saw a couple that and it was because I
felt so bad because it was windy out. Oh but
they were smart and they were hiding behind an overhang.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
Okay, so I felt bad. I felt better for him.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
And then as I was driving a little bit more slower,
I saw both of them chilling in their sleeping bags
with the overhang, playing on their cell phones. And so
then I really didn't eve feel bad at all. I
felt bad for myself that I had to go to work.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
You felt bad that you had given them two dollars
a day before, and all they did with that two
dollars was buy more lives on candy Crush I'm not.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
Gonna give them two dollars because all I know is
is gonna get used for two things. One is skag
and the other one is cracking stick. And if you
don't know what that means, look it up.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
But here's the thing. Shouldn't you allow them to spend
the money on what they want to spend the money on.
If you're gonna give them money.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
I never have cash.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
Well, I understand that, but I always find this. I
always look at it as look, everybody say, I'm not
gonna give them money. They're just gonna spend it on drugs.
Who gives a crap If they want to spend it
on drugs, Let them spend it on drugs. Whatever they
want to spend it on. It's their money once you
give it to them. It's sort of like your kids
when they earn a dollar, when you give them a
(02:51):
dollar or fifty cents or quarter, whatever it is you
do for picking up the trash or doing the dishes.
Once you give them that money, it's their decision on
what they spend it on. So I don't care if
they're gonna go spend it on drugs, if they're actually
gonna go buy food, they're gonna buy a drink, I
or if they're gonna gamble, if they're gonna take the
(03:11):
over under in a game, I'm not worried about it.
Once I give them money, which is once in every
six hundred years, then that's their decision.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
The decline of the dollar actually did hurt the homeless.
And you may say, why do you guys talk of
the homeless. Guys, Listen, they can get a job. And
I have data and facts to back that up. Any
grocery store gets an unbelievable tax break when they hire
a vet, when they hire a homeless. So I'm telling
you right now, if you have any way of getting
word out to the people on the streets, or if
(03:42):
you have a cell phone you're listening to us right now,
walk to a grocery store right now around the corner.
They will hire you on the spot because it is
that good of a tax break.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
I am not sure that's true about the homeless man.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
It is. It is. And also if you're driving by
on the roads and the interstate instruction, this is data
and fact based. I mean, some of the people holding
the signs, I would say largely have been in the
prison system because those positions get filled immediately after people
are ready to rebuild their life.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
Now, I will say that doesn't take much skill. The
homeless people could hold the sign because a lot of
them are leaning against the sign as they're scrolling their
phone and they don't know if it should be stop
or slow, and you start pulling up and then they
look up and they're like, uh oh, stop or slow.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
The ones that weird me out is when you're going
to get into the gas station at two am. All
I'm trying to get is a prime you know, just
trying to get that pump on. And I got a
guy looking like a flamingo on my left. Bro, I
mean do that in the dark and night, man, freaking
weirds me out. I think I'm at the Nashville a Zoo.
I got a pelican on my left and a flamingo
on my right. Guys do it in a back alley, man,
(04:50):
don't do the skag right in front where they're broad daylight.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
I did see another construction worker out on the sidewalk
over here. He was spray painting, and I'm not quite
sure what he was spray painting, but he was really
good at it. So he's obviously been a spray painter
of the street for many years because he was making
like a little arrow. He would do one boom, straight
line arrow on the other side, and he did it perfectly,
and then he'd walk a few feet one dot, and
(05:15):
then he'd do it again. And he did it all
the way from the gas station across the street, and
then across the street again, and I was like, wow, wow,
every Like when the light would turn red, he would
nail it. Boom boom, boom, boom boom boom. Circle this
dude dot here. I have no idea what it all means,
but I don't know how how he got so good
at drawing. And they're perfectly straight, really good.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
Well, and this is going to blow you guys mind.
What I've realized is sure, there's the Barbara Corcoran's, there's
the Mark Cubans, Kevin O'Leary. They have very John forty businesses,
they have fifty businesses, insane, No know how they do it.
They are the exception of the rule. I would say largely,
everybody has one basic job that they do and the
(06:00):
phenomenal at it. All you do is literally open your
mouth and you're phenomenal at it. It's not literally, bear
with me. All I do is hit buttons on a
specific board in a specific building. If you took me
to another board in this same building, I wouldn't even
know how to use it. I only know how to
use one board in one room, in one building, in
(06:23):
one city in the country. That'll blow your mind for
a second. Okay, you start to realize how specialized people
are in their individual job. And that's how ants build colonies,
and that's how Americans live in America. And I'll hang
up and listen. Truck drivers, we all know. All you
guys do is two things. Lot lizards and steer a wheel.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
They only know how to operate one rig. The tug boaters,
you put them on a different boat, t boat, you
know what I'm talking about, the t G boat, they
wouldn't know what to do. They would have no idea.
And you make that a great point because we have
the boards here, we have all the equipment here, and
(07:08):
a couple times when I've gone back to Austin for
holidays and we've done a box family edition and we
go into the studio you were on holiday and everything
is different, and they're like, how do you not know
how to use this, And I'm like, man, this ain't
the same as ours. It's not the same as oh
hit this everything's on boom. I'm like, I don't know
what I'm pressing. I'm recording it into the wrong computer.
(07:28):
Couldn't even get the dang podcast off the computer until
the engineer came in that following Monday to email it
to me. Absolute disaster. So what you're saying by we
are specialized, it's one hundred percent accurate.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
M Are we going to start the show.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
We're going to start the show, and we're gonna start
to March freaking Madness tomorrow. Oh my god, it is
the best time of the year.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
It's awesome. I didn't even get to talk about it.
I had so many thoughts about it. It is when
my cap Pablo passed away two years ago. So for that,
I'm watching it really.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
Yeah, I would want you to watch.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
It was the one March Madness I never really.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
Watched dang Who won it all that year?
Speaker 2 (08:05):
Yukon ukes and guess what the Yukon is?
Speaker 1 (08:09):
The Huskies? Yeah, dog dogg eat cat.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
Pablo freaking hated dogs. We gotta started.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
Man hy res in peace, Bablo all right, We're.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Gonna do it live. Oh the one shoot sore losers?
Speaker 1 (08:34):
What up, everybody? I am lunchbox. I know the most
about sports, so I give you the sports facts, my
sports opinions, because I'm pretty much a sports genius, y'all
it says.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
And I'm from the north. I'm an alpha male. I
live on the north side of Nashville, Baser. My wife,
she's a country girl, Broadway girl too, now a country girl.
And we live there two acres. We got some guy
to fertilize it and seed it. I haven't seen you
green grass. I've been out there watering it every day
and it is two point two acres, but I only
water as far as the hoseal reach. So I'm watering
about one point one of the acres. The other one
(09:04):
point one until it rains is gonna dry up. Over
to you, man, That's all I got. And are we
talking about March Madness memories or what I mean.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
I'm gonna tell you one of my favorite things about
March Madness and Wednesday night, really Wednesday evening, late night
early in the Thursday morning of March Madness. My favorite
thing is my wife kid.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
I haven't slept in forty eight hours.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
No, it's my wife, because she says she fills out
a bracket. She does her family pool every year. And
at eight o'clock at night on Wednesday, she was like,
I gotta do my research, and she will pull out
papers and write sixteen pages worth of notes. I'm like,
do you realize that just makes no damn difference in
(09:46):
what you're doing. All you have to do is go
and look at the teas and be like, ah, go
on your gut all that research you're doing. And she'll
stay up till one in the morning doing research and
I'm like, you are so out of con She's like, no, no, no.
This guy on cbssports dot com said this. This guy
over here on Yahoo said this. So I'm weighing which one's.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Better statistical says, and I love it.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
I said, you just don't even need to look at it.
You reading notes doesn't help because the experts are the
worst people to listen to. That is when you get
screwed up as you start listening to other people. It's
all I try to fill it out by my knowledge
of watching the game. I guess what happens. I watch
more college. My wife hasn't watched but maybe one Kansas
(10:31):
game all year. She hadn't watch college basketball. She'll do
better than me in the bracket. I'll guarantee you that.
And it ain't because of her stupid research.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
Yeah, I got my sister coming to town. And she goes, Oh,
I wonder what we're gonna do on Friday. She's coming
in a week this weekend. I mean yeah, actually a
week from this weekend, a week from this yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
So she goes, I don't know what we're gonna do
Friday and Saturday. And I go, uh, it's the sweet
sixteen in the late eight I know exactly what we're doing.
We're not doing anything a couching. I mean, you could
go baring no. But we have the kids. She's gonna
have a nephew's And I said, you remember this, right,
growing up, we don't leave the couch all weekend. Dad
(11:11):
would try to make us work in between, but we'd
still catch a lot of games. Analogy test here, physics
tests there.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
It will always fell on spring break for me when
I was a kid, which was awesome because then I
didn't have to miss school. I could just sit there
and watch the games and It was amazing, And the
hardest part is being able to keep your eyes awake
for the first couple of rounds. If you're watching that Friday,
Thursday and Friday, which are tomorrow and the next day,
your eyes start hurting about the five o'clock games, the
(11:38):
six o'clock game, You're just like, oh my gosh. And
it goes all the way till midnight. Starts at eleven
am and it goes till midnight. It is a marathon.
You think truck drivers have it hard trying to haul
lumber across America. You think it's hard to stay awake
on the road when you only can do it an
eight hour shift. March Madness, the first two rounds is
(11:59):
thirty hours. Dude. That is a grind. It's like a
nurse's shift at the hospital six am till six am.
That's hard.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
I'm glad you brought that up. Which did you pick?
In college? Because we were torn. You had to decide
are you faithful to March Madness or did you choose
spring break? Because we would go to Panama City Beach
and the games would be on while we were beaching
it and partying and drinking with chicks. I turned my back,
and I you know what, I'm sorry to this day.
For those couple of years I did go in college
to spring break places Panama City, Beach, Padre, South Padre.
(12:31):
I turned my back on March Madness and we watched
the Hangars instead of the Bank the game. Here's my problem, man,
while I watched the Boobs instead of the Bracket.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
Ah Boobs instead of Bracket Beach, and Babes instead of
the ball I understand babes instead of the boys. I
didn't have any money to go on spring break when
I was in college. I was working at the Sam's Club.
I had to work all the spring break and I
would take the Thursday and off so I could watch
(13:01):
the games. But I did go spring break one time
my senior year. For three days. We went to South
Padre and it was amazing.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
Brownsville.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
Well, we did stay in Brownsville because all the about it.
Padre sold out, man, so yeah, we had to drive
to Padre. Whatever. But I did experience spring break one
time and it was amazing. And I look back at
it now and I'm like, damn, I wish I could
have gone on spring break more. But my life's just
it didn't fit that way. I didn't have the resources,
(13:30):
I didn't have the funds. All my people we worked.
I mean, most people went on spring break. Congratulations, you
guys are amazing. I'm jealous of people that went to
Panama City, went to Padre every year, went to Destin.
Is that a big one?
Speaker 2 (13:43):
The can coon, the more wealthier.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
Okay, can coon things like that. Yeah, I wish I
could have done that. Man. I went to Padre for
three days. That was about it.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
Freshman year, that's when we decided to go. When all
this boys mounted up in the freshman norm and we
all went to Panama City Beach. We went Pana my city.
Sophomore year, did we go? We did? We went back
there Panama Smart from Chicago.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
How far is that?
Speaker 2 (14:08):
I'd want to say, ten hours?
Speaker 1 (14:09):
Not bad? Bro drove, Yeah, but you're breaking it up.
You're not the only one driving, Yeah I was.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
It was my car.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
You didn't let other people drive? No, never mind? Why
did I Why would I even ask? You would not
trust anybody behind the wheel of your own car, dude.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
So that's what we did. And then I moved to Texas.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
So even on the way home, you wouldn't let anybody. No,
Oh my god, after a week of four or five
days of drinking all weekend, you oh my gosh. Wow.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
But dude, we were from Chicago. We're all white, pasty.
We didn't even know the college swag going on. I mean,
obviously we got no chicks whatsoever. But then we went
I went to the club, so every night I was
seeing a different rapper. It was great.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
That's fun.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
And then junior year, I worked like you because it's
when I first moved to Texas, and so I just
picked up. It was called at the time, now it's
called explore. What are the Exfinity? What are the Express
there's all those jobs searching companies. Yeah, I just went
to a day trade one and they put me in
a factory and I like made potted plants for an
(15:07):
entire week instead of spring break. So I made I
made a grand whereas my friend just went and got
s faced on the beach for a week.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
Yeah. Like, I mean, I'll never forget, Like my senior year,
maybe my junior year of high school, I don't remember
which one was chess day.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
I'm talking college.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
Yeah, he was working at Sam's Club, right, and I
wanted a job. It was senior year. I wanted a
job at Sam's. I want to be a cart guy,
and I went and applied and they're like, oh, we're
all full up right now, we'll let you know if
a spot opens. And chess Day wanted to go to
Padre for spring break senior year of high school, and
his parents are like, you're not going to freaking Padre.
You're not going to Padre. You're not You're not going.
(15:41):
So chess Day went in and told work, Hey, I
need the week off. I'm going to Padre and like, well,
you're not. You're not going to go. You're not going
to go. So he just booked his own plane ticket.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
And went solo.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
Missions Well, no, he had friends down there that he met,
and I was like, dude, your parents and he's like,
I gotta go, and he went. His parents got so mad.
But then because he quit Sam's Club and that's when
I got my job at sam Is because he went
to spring break, and so then I had to inform
Dunkin Donuts, Hey man, I'm moving on to sam So
I'm gonna be a cart guy. I can no longer
(16:09):
make the donuts and Old Jack Bone was like, all right, man,
we're gonna miss you around here. So you did one
Padre senior year of college.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
I did two Panama City Beaches too padres. One of
the Padres was five years after I graduated. We did
a bit on the show.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
For work and that was pretty awesome or was it
the most miserable experience of your life?
Speaker 2 (16:30):
It was unbelievably awesome because everybody hooked you upcase.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
Everybody knew you were there and that's how you got in.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
Yeah, they uh free access VIP to stuff. And then
they let me stay at a house and I eventually
got kicked out of that house because all their dudes
chicks wanted me, and like they all thought that it
was gonna be funny. So I was from the radio.
But then they realized all of a sudden they were
getting jealous and it's a real emotion. So they literally
the guy goes, hey, you should probably leave that one
guy wants to kick your a's going ma And I go,
(16:58):
all right, dude, I'll just sleep in my or for
the next three nights.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
Yeah, that's not good. That's like when I went to Padre,
but it wasn't even spring break. It was just I
was at a wedding in McAllen and I met these
two chicks on the plane and we went to Padre.
They were standing in Padre and we went to some
after party and this dude. I was sitting on the
edge of the pool talking to this hottie that I
met on the planet in my phone in my pocket,
and he pushed me in the water. And I was pissed.
(17:22):
Being funny, Yeah, being funny. I didn't know the dude,
so my phone's ruined.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
I didn't say it was funny.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
I was pissed. He's like, here, man, I'll give you
some shorts, blah blah blah. And it wasn't about the
shorts to close whatever, And it was my phone, Like
I don't have a phone now, and so I went
into the room to change. I just pissed all over
the bed. I pissed all over someone's bed.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
Dude, break up.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
And I mean, looking back, probably the stupidest thing I've
ever done.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
But you were mad. It was emotional.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
It was emotional. I was drunk. But if one of
those dudes, I mean, because it was a house of dudes,
they would have walked in and I'm pissing on the
I would have got my ass.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
Well, one of them definitely woke up and thought that
he pissed himself the night before.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
Or he just got in bed and thought, oh, I'm
just wet from the pool. They were so drunk they
didn't realize it. But the smell of urine the next morning,
I can only imagine had you wreak so freaking bad.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
It's not the worst thing because we had a buddy,
God love him, he would couldn't control it after a
drink a lot, and he pissed on the couch. It
didn't ever smell that bad, but you'd realize it once
you sat down that it was wet. Ugh, So just
to make you feel a little bit better, maybe the
guy didn't.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
No, I don't feel bad at all. I was very
happy with the whole thing. Like I was excited that
I did it. I was proud of myself, and I
needed my phone because the next next day, when I
was flying back, I was getting off the plane and
I was driving to Elgin because we were having a
little like family reunion.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
You would think it's pronounced el Gin. It's Elgin, it
is Elgin, It's not Elgin. Learned that at Texas State.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
Yeah, Well, we were going and we were going to
Ellen and Dwayne's house and their kids from Oklahoma were
coming down, and so I was getting right off the airplane,
but I had never been to their Elgin house. So
I had to go to the freaking store and get
a new phone before I got on the airplane right
there in freaking McAllen. I mean it was rough, but yeah,
I peed all over that bed. Dude, did we start
(19:19):
the show? Yeah, yeah we did. We're gonna take a break,
and I gotta be honest. Tomorrow's Thursday. I made a
big mistake.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
And we got to do that murder eventually this hour.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
We'll be right back right, I tell you, man, marsh
Madden is my favorite time of year. I sit there
and watch all the games.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
Have the kids caught the bug yet a little bit? Daddy?
Why are you yelling at the TV at eleven am?
A little bit?
Speaker 1 (19:51):
Well, they're gonna be a see. Here's the thing. They
go to school, but they get it a little bit.
They want to watch Kansas. They don't really care about
anybody else. But I made a huge mistake because there
was an email that came through probably three weeks ago,
and it said, hey, kindergarten field trip at twelve o'clock
(20:12):
on Thursday, and I'm like, oh, I would love to chaperone.
I no, I have never been on a field trip before.
And baby Box has been asking me, Hey, Dada, how
come you never go on me my field trips with me?
Mama always goes I'm I'm always working, Bud, you always
do it in the morning.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
Does he see other dads at these Yeah, what has
happened in our society?
Speaker 1 (20:35):
And so I'm like, yeah, Bud, I'd love to go.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
I'd love to go.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
I can only go if it's in the afternoon. And
I got the email and it said twelve o'clock Thursday,
and I'm like, I am in, I am all about
going on the field trip. I'm going to chaperone. Sign
me up. So I emailed the teacher, Hello, missus kindergarten teacher.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
You emailed her from our email I know from my
personal will tell me before I hit the sume sorry.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
Personal email, and I said, I would love to be
a chaperone on the freaking field trip. I've been wanting
to do this all year and baby Box has been
begging me, So sign me up. If you still got.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
Room and is there a head count on the MILFs?
Speaker 1 (21:15):
And I got an email back about what was it
to our email? No, it was just my normal email.
Got it and it said, hey, we'd love to have you.
Can't wait. Got you down. You'll be one of the
six chaperones from our class. And I said, great, I'm
all excited. I'm so pumped.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
Gonna be a chaparone.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
I'm gonna be a chaperone. Baby Box gets off the
bus that day and I'm like, dude, guess what. I'm
gonna get to chaperone your your field trip? And he's
like really, I'm like yeah, He's like, where are we going.
I'm like, I don't even know. But it said twelve o'clock.
I'm gonna be there. It's gonna cost me ten dollars
as a chaperone to go. I'm so pumped, dude, I
can't wait. He's like yeah. I was like, I wonder
who's gonna be in our group because you get a
(21:56):
couple of his buddies in our group. As I'm the chaperone,
I'm responsible for those that set of kids.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
Thanks, I'm not chaperoning that day.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
And now I realize it's a March, the start of
March madness. It's the first round the NCAA tournament.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
Brutal beat and so that's when that's what Oh Dennis
and haircut. Yeah, Thursday and noon. That should always work,
except for March madness. Dude. You gotta know when it's
March something mad's gonna be happening.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
I understand. I messed up. I totally screwed it. I
didn't I didn't think about looking at the dates. I
just saw, you know, the twentieth or whatever, and I
was like, yes, I am in for a freaking chaperone.
Why would you not want a chaperone?
Speaker 2 (22:36):
Dude, Dude, I love kids, love chaperoning. But anytime anybody
says something in March, I always say, whoa, whoa March madness. Okay,
so what my dad and mom said, they're coming to town.
Sister said she's coming to town. First thing I said
was whoa, whoa March madness. Okay, yeah, we can work
that in. It's got to be your first thought.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
Here's the crazy part. This is how much I think
ahead about March madness.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
If it's your favorite thing, you know about the madness
during this month.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
I do, and I do. And I just got I
got blinded by my kid and the ability to chaperone June.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
They can have it July. Have it, dude, March madness.
It's the only sport that takes it a month and
uses it as part of its name.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
You're right?
Speaker 2 (23:20):
Ray? Is it called NBA Finals fun June Jubilee? Ray?
Is it called NFL's Super Bowl February. It is the
only sport so powerful and so madness that they have
to include a month in its name.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
Yeah, And I couldn't go back and tell the teacher, actually,
you know, March madness is happening. I'm gonna go ahead
and skip the field trip. I don't even know how
long the field trip lasts.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
But can we please talk about the other chaperones outside
the moms. If there's any dads, what frecking losers? Who
else would sign up for that? If there's another dad
on that thing, call me, slap me and call me
spak You want to, you loser? Who would said? I
don't care if my kid, if all five of my
(24:05):
kids are in the same school, I ain't going.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
Yeah, I realized, I think I'm gonna be with a
bunch of women. It's not gonna be any dads, And
I have to look at myself in the mirror that
morning and I'm gonna have to say, man, you really
screwed up. So tomorrow morning is you're excited and you're
sitting in front of that TV to watch tip off
and you're the tournament is underway, and you're wondering, I
wonder if Lunchbox is glued to the TV. Just know,
(24:31):
I'm not. No, I'm on the field trip. And here's
the thing. I had to go for it because it's noon.
I gotta be there, and it's gonna be the last
field trip of the year. Because the school year is
almost over. Baby Box is almost done with kindergarten, and
that means I would have gone his whole kindergarten without
chaperoning one of his field trip coach.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
It gives the rips. I'm getting sentimental. You're a working dad.
You want to know how many donuts what are they
called donut coffee with kid? Dad? Was it within two
hundred miles of the school? All right? I mean right
down the street. He didn't go to one donut with kid,
He didn't go to one talent show, one in school
basketball game. But if it was after five. He went
to every single one of them.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
Come on, I don't think we ever had donuts with dad.
They invented all these holidays that make you feel like
a bad parent nowadays.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
With Sadie Hawkins. Dude, this rich dad. I follow his
daughter as a dance every year. My dad never went
to no dance with my sister.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
We didn't have no dance with my sister. My dad
never went to a dance. There was never an option
to go to a dance with my sister. There was
never donuts with Dad, and milk with moms, milk the mama's.
There was none of that. We had none of those.
They do this now, grapes with grandparents or whatever. I
don't even know what they call him, grapefruits with grandparents.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
I take it back. My dad came to one talent
show and I had already played my drum solo and
he wasn't there yet, And then he walked in the door,
and the music teacher goes, your dad's here, would you
play it again? And dude, I sucked at it already,
and then I had to double down and play it
one more time and Dad walks in. He's got his
heart shirt on, his helmet on because he'd been in
the woods, his big old glasses on because he'd been
(26:05):
cutting timber, and the entire school looks at him. He's
got his ear muffs on. He literally just got done
cutting down a tree. And I'm sitting there playing a
drum solo for just my dad. Bro. I was terrible
at drums, but yeah, it what made you do the
drums man? Somebody told me, they go you don't have
to carry anstrument home.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
That's legit. Do you know what you played or did
you just just play a beat? Or did we would
do I'm talking about in the Talent show Man. Well
were you playing a song or were you just playing
a beat?
Speaker 2 (26:34):
It was a song. And then it went to us
drummers when we did the solo. And so my dad
doesn't know music, and I was just like, Pops is
probably I'll stick to the after five pm stuff.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
Incredible. I was in The Talent show Man and I
was a one man talent show. I didn't have a
group with me. I was by myself.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
Ray I played the flute.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
No, no, everybody else had like a partner. They had
all these people. I would up there by myself and
I did a little one man at.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
What are you one of the guys in those cruise ships?
Speaker 1 (27:06):
Basically is what I was, man, I had. I had
a bow tie the chick.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
At the halftime of the Spurs games the Bulls.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
That lady is amazing. Guys, if you have ever seen
the bull Lady at a halftime of an event, that
lady she's on like a unicycle and she flips these
freaking bowls on top of her head. I don't know
how much money she makes, but I would love to
get her on the pod because she is fantastic.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
Could she flip a spoon? No? Specialized talent career that
is what America is, and she is perfect for that.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
It just came full circle.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
So anyway, I got up there at the talent show
and I had like a bowsye and like a like
a women's hair to like a bow that goes in
a women's hairyanky. But they were just one sided, so
they were on the same one. You just had to
flip it back and forth. So I held it above
my head. I'm gonna switch to a woman ding and
I'm like, I can't pay the rent. I don't have
(28:03):
enough money. And then I put it down here you
must pay the runner. I'll have to kick you out.
I can't, you must, I can't, you must, And then
you have one all pay the rent. Oh my, here
you were a man woman. I was a man woman.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
He goes.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
On was the land I was the landlord and the tenant.
The tenant was gonna get kicked out because she couldn't
pay the rent, and the landlord was like, you must,
I can't you bust. But then her knight and shining
armor comes out of nowhere. I'll pay the rent, my hero,
oh oo, and the crowd goes crazy. The crowd goes crazy.
(28:46):
I mean, what a great, great play that I just
put off.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
And society was affected the next thirty years because of
that act.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
I mean, are you telling me that I did not
just own the stage in front of all of Summit
Elementary by myself coming up with this little patent dance. Fantastic,
that's good.
Speaker 2 (29:07):
I was never an entertainer because I would do that,
but I didn't know you were there to entertain people. Oh.
I remember the talent shows, but I never had fun
doing them. I didn't understand the point of a talent
show is to entertain I just thought you just go
through the motions and then nobody would ever really cheer
for us, And I never understood why. Yeah, you gotta
be into it.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
You gotta do something connect with the audience. Yeah, I
mean you had other people that are doing dance routines,
singing songs. You know what I mean. I'm like, guys,
get out of here. I didn't win. Of course I
didn't win, but I should have won.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
Why would I not win.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
I'm the only one that did it by myself.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
Coming in third place? Man, woman, my h man, woman
didn't even think about it. But yeah, so tomorrow, when
you're enjoying March Madness, just no, I'm gonna be snuck
stuck with a bunch of snotty nose kindergarteners at wherever
(29:59):
we're going, and I'm gonna love every minute of it,
and I'm gonna be addicted to my phone looking at
those scores March freaking Madness. Ladies, check your harnesses or hangars,
I mean harnesses, MILFs. We can only hope you got
some cool parents, otherwise this can be brutal trying to
babysit some other people's kids.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
Hey, lunchbox, lunchbox. Have you seen Tom He's supposed to
be in your group. No, but I know that the
Rutgers is down five at halftime. Uh what did you say,
little Timmy?
Speaker 2 (30:28):
Oh? I was with Teresa. Yeah, Teresa's good though.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
I mean yeah, you're not here to chaperone the parents.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
Yeah, it's over under. Oh the overhit the first half,
you know, the race to ten h Yeah.
Speaker 2 (30:39):
Lunch, what's your count? What's your count? One hundred and twenty,
one hundred twenty kids? We only came with twenty. Oh
I thought you meant the current count of the LSU game.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
Yeah, man, no, I needed to I got the square,
I got five six, So I really need them to
hit this free throw. I need them to hit this
free throw. Oh man. So yeah, man, I'll be at
the chaperone. I'll be a chaperone in a freaking field
trip tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
Lunch, did you get the count of the sixteen kids? Yes?
Sweet sixteen? No, no, no, what are you talking about?
Elite eight?
Speaker 1 (31:07):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (31:07):
Yeah, I was an elite eight of them that went
the bathroom and then the final four are over there,
but all together, it's a sweet sixteen.
Speaker 1 (31:14):
I have Memphis going to the sweet sixteen. What No, No,
we're not. You're never chaperoning again. Thanks. I will take
a break, and we got a murder to solve. We'll
be right back. Also, I got breaking news.
Speaker 2 (31:30):
Not during the murder.
Speaker 1 (31:31):
Your factual information from earlier is absolutely.
Speaker 2 (31:33):
False statistical season.
Speaker 1 (31:36):
I texted Garrett and I said, do you get a
tax break for hiring a homeless person at the grocery store?
He said, no, there you go.
Speaker 2 (31:44):
Is he that high up in management?
Speaker 1 (31:46):
He runs his own store?
Speaker 2 (31:47):
Oh? Does he live in Tennessee? I don't know.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
I just want, I just want. I went to I
had to go fact check.
Speaker 2 (31:55):
It's pretty factual.
Speaker 1 (31:56):
It might be maybe he's just wrong. Maybe he doesn't
know anything.
Speaker 2 (32:02):
Yeah, because I would have never run with that if
it wasn't data driven.
Speaker 1 (32:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (32:07):
Interesting. Maybe it's just the big box stores that may
be it okay, and a certain number in a certain state.
I don't know he lives in Texas.
Speaker 1 (32:15):
Whatever.
Speaker 2 (32:16):
Guys, this is gonna be the most pointless story ever.
But maybe it'll give you a look inside of our
work office here. And it is somewhat interesting. If it's
one percent, it's more interesting than the guys that are
in their trucks right now, lunch. The stuff I see
when I come to the office and nobody else is here. Okay,
so it was one am. I roll into the office.
It's just your typical normal day. All the lights are
(32:38):
off as you walk by them. The lights do go on.
They're all sensory, so it's able to save it on
electricity and the bills and stuff. Guys, it's energy efficiency,
all right.
Speaker 1 (32:50):
I do like it when you walk in a room
and the lights start on. It's like, well that was cool.
Speaker 2 (32:53):
It's pretty bad. So I'm going past the kitchen. The
lights were already on, means somebody went past in the
last ten to fifteen minutes. And it's one am. I
look in and there is wine dumped down the whole
freezer section of the fridge. I don't want to say
it's just like shattered. There's no wineglass, but there's a
distinct wine glass that was tipped over and dumped on
(33:15):
the fridge. Ooh okay, And so I think, uh, it's
kind of dirty. Somebody was messy. They must have had a
happy hour. Then I see a cabinet open. Oh, and
I look in the cabinet. Did you know in the kitchen.
We have fifteen bottles of wine in the cabinet adjacent
to the fridge.
Speaker 1 (33:36):
Did not know this and they are just there and.
Speaker 2 (33:40):
It's a secret stash. Someone went into that secret sash
after hours and had themselves some wines. Maybe it was
after the basketball games, and they left the cabinet open
dumped wine because they were So I'm gonna have to
make the assumption inebriated.
Speaker 1 (33:59):
Whoa under the influence is what you're saying.
Speaker 2 (34:03):
But somebody had themselves a good old time up until
about one am. Get no wind up and wind down,
and I'm fin to find out who it was. But
you're ever up here on a random night and you're
looking for boozers that cabinet pointless story, But good gosh,
something went on until about one am last night.
Speaker 1 (34:22):
How many people do you think were in the building
by the look of it, Like, was it one person
hitting the bottle? Is it one person that's hiding this
from their spouse so they have to drink it at work?
The fact is somebody a group of people that went
out and they wanted to have a nightcap before they
went home.
Speaker 2 (34:38):
So I believe it was multiple people because in the fridge.
They're champagne in the fridge. There's individual cans of beer.
So they needed something more than that. They went for
the whole shelf with bottles of wine and said, give
me that. If it ain't a leader, give me death.
I think it's about four people went to the basketball games,
(34:58):
came back, needed the night cap, reach for that, didn't
shut cabinets, tossing and turning and laughing, engulping, and I
saw the aftermath. There's nothing illegal that went on. But no,
he damn somebody having this sounds a good old time
upntil about one am, and I'll hang up and listen
on that one coach again. I told you it was
a pointless story.
Speaker 1 (35:19):
And they're gonna be at their desk by nine am, right,
check the time cards. Yeah, excuse me? Who was late today? Sandra? So, Sandra,
can I see you in the kitchen please? Yeah, yes, Sandra.
How you doing this morning?
Speaker 2 (35:34):
Sandra? I like your red lipstick.
Speaker 1 (35:36):
I don't have any on Oh that's another point against Sandra.
So you were late this morning, Sandra, and you have
red lips, but you say you didn't have any lipsticks?
So would you happen to know anything about this? Spelled
wine here, Sandra, you.
Speaker 2 (35:52):
Gotta go check it out though the secret stash bro
one two, three, No, no, no, there's fifteen bottles of wine
in there.
Speaker 1 (36:00):
Question who pays for that wine? Do you think we
charge it to the company or do you think people
are It's like a community, like, Hey, I'll bring a
bottle of wine everybody. There was an email that was
sent that, Hey, we're going to stock this with a
bottle of wine. Everybody bring one, and then it's kind
of help yourself as you want some wine.
Speaker 2 (36:18):
Not answering. I'm assuming that was rhetorical. Here is the answer.
Speaker 1 (36:21):
No, I was trying to get.
Speaker 2 (36:22):
We know about the count fifteen bottles, So over the
next one week, one month, we look at it. If
those things start getting depleted needing to be replenished, if
there's all of a sudden seven then four, then two,
there's something in this building's got a serious alcohol problem
and we found their stockpile. Okay, and I'll hang up
and I'll listen. If we do, pray, do you think
(36:45):
it's bones he doesn't drink.
Speaker 1 (36:48):
If we do stumble up across someone that has a
drinking problem.
Speaker 2 (36:51):
Pray, do you think it's Amy?
Speaker 1 (36:54):
No, I don't. I don't think she'd be up at
one am.
Speaker 2 (36:57):
I doesn't really drink, and if she does, it's her
Kuila is what she loves.
Speaker 1 (37:01):
I think we're gonna have to set up cameras in
the kitchen.
Speaker 2 (37:04):
Baser loves wine, but she works from home. You can
rule her out. Me I hate wine. You can rule
me out. So in the office, you gotta be on
the old ears and eyes and ears. Who's an officiado
of the old winery?
Speaker 1 (37:21):
I know who it is. I know who it is.
Speaker 2 (37:25):
Okay, you can allegedly say I got.
Speaker 1 (37:31):
A call, I gotta call, I gotta take I'll be
right over here in my I'm just gonna walk around
the halls real quick. That would be my guest. Let
me tell you something about me. I don't understand wine.
I've had wine. I don't like the taste of wine.
I don't get it tastes terrible to me. My wife,
she enjoys herself a glass of wine, and she always says, here,
(37:51):
it tastes this wine, this one's good. And guess what,
it tastes just as crappy as another glass of wine
she had me taste two weeks ago. So wine is
not how I co sign wine is probably maybe it's
too fine for me. And I mean, I ain't gonna
pay a dime. It ain't me. Mark me off the list.
Speaker 2 (38:09):
Mine no mine. So yeah, hey, be on the old lookout.
You hear somebody says, oh I love wine. Oh whoa.
Speaker 1 (38:19):
Well, what were you doing last night at one am?
Speaker 2 (38:22):
Dude? I'm with you on that wine. One time when
me and Bezer, maybe a year after we first started dating,
I did wine the worst wine hangover, and apparently you're
not supposed to chug it. It's a sipper, is what
you do with the wine?
Speaker 1 (38:34):
Yeah, you sit there and hold it and it's it's
like a whole performance. You gotta spin it around, You gotta.
I don't even know if people do this seeing it
on movies. But you spin it around and you and
you the dink of the glass, setting it back down,
let it sit there for a little bit. Is it
like supposed to marinate? I don't know why they leave
it sitting there so long.
Speaker 2 (38:55):
Since then, I've never been to wine. If it is,
it can be a light colored wine. There's a reasling
that's good, but the red did you want to catch
me dead? With the red wine.
Speaker 1 (39:03):
Yeah. Like when we had a basketball team party at
the house, my wife told me, hey, pick up a
we're I was at the grocery store set pick up
a Mota box bottle of Savon blanc.
Speaker 2 (39:15):
Ye.
Speaker 1 (39:15):
Some bank said that's white. I think maybe I don't
have the right name right. So I went to the
wine aisle and I found one for eight ninety nine.
Some Baugh got it Cabernet is red cab And I
brought it home and she's like, you really got the
cheapest one, And I'm like yes, She goes, you know
how embarrassing that is for these people. Go you couldn't
(39:36):
even just buy like a twelve dollars bottle. I'm like,
you went for the eight. Yeah, However they eight man
rock bottoms like twelve.
Speaker 2 (39:44):
I'm like, I have no idea what I think Costco
sells one friend or twenty.
Speaker 1 (39:48):
I was like, I don't know the difference in wine,
but some of them, it says some on BA And
I've been told that it doesn't matter if it's a
fifty dollars bottle or an eight dollar bottle. You can't
tell the difference. So why wouldn't I get the eight dollars.
She goes because everybody shops is. It's gonna know. We
bought the cheapest bottle of wine. I'm like, who gives
a damn? And guess how much when that wine got
drinking at the party? Zero zero.
Speaker 2 (40:07):
Maybe it's the thing of the past. The Romans really
the only ones to drink wine.
Speaker 1 (40:10):
Hey, so maybe my wife was right. Maybe people saw them.
We're like, we're not drinking that eight dollars bottle of wine.
I have no idea, but the wine did not get touched.
Speaker 2 (40:17):
Baser doesn't even drink wine anymore. She used to love it.
I'd swear she'd do a glass every night. Now maybe
it's glass here, a week, glass there a week rarely,
but just not a big thing because yeah, sometimes when
they're next to you can get a whit waff of
it doesn't smell good.
Speaker 1 (40:33):
I don't smell good.
Speaker 2 (40:34):
I don't know if the butt heavy smell good, but
they gotta smell better than wine.
Speaker 1 (40:37):
Yeah, I don't know. Well, we're gonna take a break.
We'll be right back. We got a big announcement, big
announcement right after. We'll be right back. I just want
to let you guys know, big announcement.
Speaker 2 (40:51):
You're alive.
Speaker 1 (40:52):
There will be no pod Friday. There's gonna be no
pod Friday. Listen, I screwed up. I'm going on a
chaperone thing.
Speaker 2 (40:58):
Top.
Speaker 1 (41:00):
Yeah, I'm going on a chaperone thing tomorrow, So I
don't have time to come in on Friday and do
a pod. I need to get out of here as
soon as asap so I can get home and get
my butt on the couch and watch some games. I'm
already gonna miss the morning session of tomorrow's games. And
I just love this and I don't want to sit
here and go over it for an hour and talk
about the games. You're gonna see the scores. The excitement
(41:22):
will still be there on Monday, when half of our
teams are eliminated. Everybody's gonna be mad and pissed off.
Your brackets will be busted, you won't have hit a square.
Everything will be miserable. The one day you look forward
to every single year will already be halfway over, and
you'll be very depressed about it, but you'll still be
very excited. And I don't want to ruin. And you're
not gonna have time to listen to a pod this weekend,
(41:42):
You're gonna be watching game after game after game after game,
and I don't want to take up forty five minutes
to an hour of your time when basketball needs to
be watched.
Speaker 2 (41:51):
I can't even remember how I got out of it.
In high school, I think we just said that we
were maybe I had poll or something, but.
Speaker 1 (41:58):
Yet polio, yes, that we would pall.
Speaker 2 (42:02):
It was Marcus Mishka, me and Matt Davis and junior year.
Speaker 1 (42:05):
Oh you had a mad Davis. We had a mad Davis.
Speaker 2 (42:07):
Junior year we all went to his house. Okay, yeah,
watch marsh Madness. It was great and for two hours.
Again it was a strict school. Really, maybe we just
left and you get up strike here and it doesn't
go against you or something. So we went and watched
his house. Well. The next year, dude, he was off
to college at either Bay or Hoton.
Speaker 1 (42:24):
We went to Holten.
Speaker 2 (42:25):
Yeah, no, crasp, So we just can't tell someone to
win to Houghten. Hey, we said, keep the traditional alive.
Let's just go to his house. We went. Senior year,
he was in college. We went to his house, kept
the Trician alive. He wasn't even there and breaking and
entering went into it. This is how invincible. Sometimes kids
think they are go into his house and watch the
games while his parents were at work. That's prett legit
(42:45):
because it's kind of like a flophouse. But if they
would have come home, they would have thought they got
broke into We're just two kids downstairs with some pizza
watching college basketball.
Speaker 1 (42:54):
But that's when that was the good old days when
you could do that.
Speaker 2 (42:56):
Bro we broke into his house.
Speaker 1 (42:59):
No, no, I mean there was no See we didn't
break into anybody's house like my hood, like my parents.
We never locked our house. We never locked the door.
Speaker 2 (43:06):
I think it was one of those too.
Speaker 1 (43:07):
And so people came and went as they wonted, like
people just walk in, walk out, walk in, walk out.
We wouldn't be there. They'd go up in our room,
check on us. Nope, not there, all right. They'd walk
in the pantry, get a snack.
Speaker 2 (43:17):
Leave.
Speaker 1 (43:18):
I mean our house was just come grab something, leave
all right. See you later, have a great weekend whatever.
It was, amazing, dude, March Madness.
Speaker 2 (43:25):
You'll always remember the time my dad got me the
hat from the Tampa March Madness wore it for years.
The time you get it out of the newspaper and
fill it all in the bracket for the first time,
the time where your dad doesn't have cable, So I
would somehow figure out the scores days later and have
to write them all in of the teams that won.
Then when we did get cable, we didn't get all
(43:46):
the games. So I would go on direct TV and
it would show you the schedule of the teams that
are gonna play, so you could tell who got beat
Here we're all working, I had sports and stuff, so
then I would be say, oh, they must have won
they played this next round, so then I'd fill out
the bracket. The memories are endless. In high schools, when
I finally started being a bookie for multiple years, I
was the guy that collected all the money. Never won it,
(44:07):
but just the power of getting all the money and
getting everybody's forms and having my Manila envelope. There's something
so special about that.
Speaker 1 (44:14):
It really is. And I mean the fact that we
used to highlight the ones that were wrong, and then
you would just go down and you would count one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine,
got nine riots you write nine down there, and then
you go over here on two, three, five. So after
the first round, chess day has fourteen points, all right,
(44:35):
to go to the next sheet after the first round,
Batter's box has fifteen points. And you would just do
that and people would call, hey, how many points I got?
What place am I in? What place am I in?
Speaker 2 (44:47):
It was amazing those afternoon classes when the games have
already started. Mister vv not mister VIV, mister Trebeco Treyjo something,
Michael Treyo. No, we're in the geography t and we're
in his class, and nobody can pay attention because somebody's
getting upset. No game right now, dude, that's all a buzz.
(45:09):
I can't believe those teachers even were able to get
a lesson planned next to us. They had to be,
and some of them would pull it up. I was
just saying, did the teachers not care back in the
day or did it? Was it not a big deal?
Did teachers not understand what march madness was? But I
had I'm telling you, I had spring break every time
the first round was spring break. So it was amazing
(45:30):
in college or high school both. No. See I was
in Michigan, so I was different.
Speaker 1 (45:35):
Yeah you were different. Yeah, we were Quay different.
Speaker 2 (45:37):
No, for sure.
Speaker 1 (45:38):
Michigan University of Michigan. You said their spring break was
last week. That's Binanda.
Speaker 2 (45:42):
But I'm saying the High School of Michigan ours always
matched up. So yeah, because when March Madness, it was
always memories of in school and teachers either pull it up,
some of them would put it on mute, or some
of them just acted like there was no you'd have
your algebra teacher. Dude, you go into a cold, dark
room and there's not one sign of life in March
Madness is going on, and you have no cell phones,
You have no way to check scores until you go
(46:03):
in the hallway and you see the break room or
the kids lounge. You had a kid's lounge, just a
lounge for guys would go neck with their chick.
Speaker 1 (46:11):
No, we didn't have that.
Speaker 2 (46:12):
Well it was like crappy. No, it was one TV.
Speaker 1 (46:16):
We didn't have a TV in lounge. We didn't have
any of that.
Speaker 2 (46:19):
Oh, I mean I went to a very poor school,
so you must went into a dirt poor school.
Speaker 1 (46:23):
I mean, I've never heard of it lounge where kids
went and hung out with a TV. Never in my life.
Speaker 2 (46:27):
You didn't have one TV. In your school.
Speaker 1 (46:30):
No, no, in the classroom when they would do Channel
one with Anderson Cooper and Lisa Ling. Right, but during
March Madness, and I don't know, changem. I the only
one that thought Lisa Ling was hot. I don't know
what I mean. I was like, dang, that's girl's hot.
I love this class.
Speaker 2 (46:42):
Go algebra where there is this geography? Geometry?
Speaker 1 (46:45):
Yeah, go Lisa Ling. All right, do you have.
Speaker 2 (46:47):
Memories of cable being in the classroom with March Madness on? No,
you don't, dude.
Speaker 1 (46:52):
I'm telling you. I was on spring break every March
Madness every time. So then the second round they were
the games were at night, so they weren't during school.
I'm telling you it was not on during my school time.
Speaker 2 (47:02):
That's for when you remember. That's when you know the
cool teacher. You know, geography guy, whatever's damn name was,
remember him? Uh?
Speaker 1 (47:09):
Geography was Miss Berkhart, dude.
Speaker 2 (47:10):
Our English teacher. And she also did a newspaper, never
talk sports all year. We walked into her class. She's
got the TV on in the game. Love her for that.
Then there's algebra, I mean there was there. There wasn't
even a mention of march Man and she just go
in there and die. Dude.
Speaker 1 (47:26):
Yeah, I'm not sure. Miss Badoya was really much into
march madness. I doubt she would have had it on
her TV or Miss Wheat. I don't know she would
have had it on. Then there was she was a stickler.
Speaker 2 (47:36):
Missus Williams. I think her name was she Goes. She
was a women's empowerment Yeah, so she was what, uh,
did you guys fell out your women's brackets?
Speaker 1 (47:48):
Yeah? All you do is put euconnor Tennessee. Back in
the day, those were only two teams that could win it.
Speaker 2 (47:52):
Well, I think she tried to put on the women's games.
Speaker 1 (47:54):
Oh oh yeah, I mean I I yeah, I mean
Miss she was a geometry She wouldn't have put it on.
I don't think.
Speaker 2 (48:04):
Now.
Speaker 1 (48:04):
Mister Lampkin, he was accounting, he would have for sure
put it on. He was awesome. He would That dude
would leave the classroom and then come running back in
and jump on his desk like jump up, be like
did you miss me?
Speaker 2 (48:18):
That's pretty awesome? And I was like what he was
probably on skag.
Speaker 1 (48:23):
And he was like, all right, let's do some accounting.
It was wild, but all right, man, you guys have
a great weekend. I mean, enjoy the first two rounds
of March madness. Good luck to your teams. I hope
your bracket is amazing. I hope you win millions of dollars. Oh, man,
it's gonna be a great, great field trip, great field trip. Man.
I'll tell you all about it on Monday.
Speaker 2 (48:42):
I think we're gonna do a bracket with the family,
not my parents. It takes my dad days to fill
out the bracket, and they're on their trip, so he's
not gonna be able to multitask.
Speaker 1 (48:50):
Yeah, I don't worry about nine o'clock the night my parents
would call us, call me. How do I get in?
How do I get in? I'm like same as every year,
same as every.
Speaker 2 (48:57):
I'm outside your house with four quad ready to make
march mannis got the poster board and markers. And remember your.
Speaker 1 (49:07):
National champ is rock Chug Jay.
Speaker 2 (49:12):
You don't even want my talk that I gave you
outside of this room.
Speaker 1 (49:15):
Please just win a game.
Speaker 2 (49:16):
I said, Kansas has to win two games. The first
one will be easy, the second one a little bit tricky.
And then you're in the sweet sixteen. And why is
the sweet sixteen significant because it's sweet because it's the
exact same number, give or take a couple. That's for
the college football playoff and college football playoff, anything can happen.
(49:39):
It's imagine that, dude, your team is making the college
football playoff. Why don't you understand that? Make sure they
got they got an uphill battle. But that's a crazy
chance unless you're like, go to a school like Drexel
or Wagner and you got no chance. But dude, you
(49:59):
got a chance. Ants man, you gotta believe.
Speaker 1 (50:02):
Hey, do you believe in miracles? Anything that's possible? Exep
for Kansas winning it.
Speaker 2 (50:09):
Who's your center again, Hawkinson?
Speaker 1 (50:10):
No Dickinson? God, I mean, I just can't. I want
to be I just want to win a game. Just
please don't be one and done, Like, just win one game.
Please win one game, thank you, good night, We'll see
you later.
Speaker 2 (50:25):
God and rarely. I was looking back at previous years,
and never does all the number one seeds go.
Speaker 1 (50:31):
I think only one time in history, man, one time,
And there's always some random always some random like weird
team that comes from like the seventh seed or sixth seed,
or five or eight or twelve or fourteen or Butler
or VCU who came from the playing game. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (50:48):
And guys, I've run the data in stats. Your first
two games are going to be simple, unless your Kansas
lunch says he'll probably face the number two second game,
but allegedly. But your first two games are simple. All
you have to do is win for or is it
six six six? So it is that? I mean, and
you're a champion six games. MLB plays that in a week.
(51:12):
That's wild.
Speaker 1 (51:13):
That's crazy, man. That dream is right there. You can
almost taste it, but you gotta get by the first round.
Speaker 2 (51:19):
First man one, shiny man. This sounds kind of sounds
like it
