Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
I started it.

Speaker 2 (00:01):
Good thank you man. How you doing today? Man?

Speaker 1 (00:03):
Good man? You talked for fifty nine minutes last podcast?

Speaker 2 (00:07):
Was it fifty nine minutes?

Speaker 1 (00:08):
Well? I didn't even really get to give you my
take on Kansas.

Speaker 2 (00:11):
Oh, go ahead.

Speaker 1 (00:12):
I had no take.

Speaker 2 (00:13):
Oh.

Speaker 1 (00:13):
I just enjoyed watching the game, dude. It was a
great what I watched Arkansas and Kansas were fun and
I agree with you. It was one of the better
games of the entire weekend. I get we're two weeks
out from that.

Speaker 2 (00:26):
Yeah, but have you been I got it. I'm here
to tell you. Have you been watching the women's tournament?

Speaker 1 (00:31):
Yeah, Juju Smith Schuster's out or something.

Speaker 2 (00:34):
I saw Juju got hurt and I was like, no,
I just saw him doing a TikTok on the beach
with some chit when they were talking about Juju the
basketball player. And here's the thing. Cousin Andrews in town
and his wife Ellen, and they are all in on
the women's tournament.

Speaker 1 (00:49):
See, they're actually more efficient. I enjoy it. I'm gonna
be really into WNBA this year.

Speaker 2 (00:53):
Really.

Speaker 1 (00:54):
Yeah, I'm watching the whole season. I really do think
Caitlyn Clark will win MVP. They're gonna televise like fifty
seven of her nine games. And I've been talking to
Aaron Bertoky. She's deep into WNBA, and I was like, hey,
curious are the Is it the Liberty or is the Shock?
Or is the Stars that are gonna win it again?
Or is it the Links or is it the It's

(01:15):
the Liberty, it's the New York team because before that
it was the Aces. And so I said, the Liberty,
are they gonna win it again? And she said no,
they're no. Good. Well, they just got this McLoud girl
who is unbelievable, and the season starts. We have a minute,
We have a month and a half until, but it
goes the whole summer. It's gonna be great.

Speaker 2 (01:31):
So you can tell me you want me to line
up from WNBA players for the pod.

Speaker 1 (01:35):
And then I saw the breaking news Juju is out.

Speaker 2 (01:38):
Yeah. Well, I came home on Monday and I'm ready
to sit down and watch the TV. And cousin Andrew
is all into the Texas women's basketball game. He has
it on. It's the second quarter and Texas is up
by eighteen or twenty, and I was like, well, this
game's over. He goes, it's not even the how time yet,

(02:01):
I said, dude, and he goes, you're right, it's over.
They're not gonna lose, and they won. They killed him.
But he doesn't think Texas is very good. He said
they play good, but there's only like six teams he
says that are good in college basketball for women. And
he said that Texas lost to South Carolina got blowed
out both times, and they got blowed out by someone else.

(02:23):
I don't know who it was, but he said the
other day, like it's like a one seed versus eight
seed and they're favored by thirty five points. It's like, what
in the world? So I did, I had a question,
is like women's college basketball coaches if they make the
NCAA tournament, like Oklahoma's ranked number like fifteen in the country.

Speaker 1 (02:44):
He said, oh, I thought, you don't watch it.

Speaker 2 (02:46):
This is what this is all what cousin Andrew told me.
And he said Texas beats him by forty.

Speaker 1 (02:53):
That's a weird ranking then, and there sounds like there's
not a lot of parody, not a lot of parody.

Speaker 2 (02:58):
So I said, so is the Oklahoma coach like on
the hot seat because they're number fifteen but they get
beat by the top teams by forty or are you
excited that you're a number fifteen team in the country
for women's college basketball? And he got naming all these players.
I was like, cousin, I don't know who you're saying.
I know Page Buckers, and I do Juju, that's it.

(03:20):
Any other women's college basketball player you cant named?

Speaker 1 (03:22):
Yeah, And I'm not here to knock anybody. I'm not
knocking him. So what I am going to say, though,
is you can get into anything. And the realization came
when Bones said, Hey, my father in law watches every
Oklahoma City Thunder game. And I thought, that's weird somebody
that into the WNBA. But that isn't weird. I run
WNBA though, right NBA. In college, South Beach lived in

(03:46):
the ATX and he goes, Hey, you're gonna come party
this weekend because I just moved to Texas, and they go, yeah,
let's party. He goes, but just heads up, my roommates
watch every Astros game. So when you're here Friday night,
we're watching Astros games. Saturday were watching an Astros game,
and Sunday we're watching an Astros game. And I go, oh, okay,
he wasn't kidding. They watched every Astros game. They would

(04:09):
come they were caddies at a rich course, five Stars.
They would come home from West Lake, watch every drink,
beers and watch every Astros game. And the reason it
was cool because they were loyal to the brotherhood. It
was consistent and they found some rooting interest in something.
It doesn't matter what it is. You could enjoy WNBA

(04:30):
to the March, Madness to baser watching a show religiously.
If you do it consistently, it gives you something to
look forward to. Those guys hated their lives on the
golf course being caddies, but every night and day we
did it. On Sunday afternoon, hungover, we watched the damn
Astros and I watched twenty seven innings of Astros baseball,
and I said, while South Beach, you weren't kidding. They

(04:52):
literally watch every Astros game. And I'll hang up and
I'll listen pretty intense.

Speaker 2 (04:58):
If you watch a single baseball team, every single game,
that is a lot of your life that you are
sitting there watching baseball. I love baseball, but I can't
sit there and watch an entire game. No, I can
watch an entire game. I can't watch it every game
of the entire season. That is way too much time.
But I will say that he was breaking down the
women's game. He said he's been to a couple of

(05:19):
ut women's games and he was like, we sit kind
of close because you can get tickets for free.

Speaker 1 (05:27):
Oh whoa, they're richretch.

Speaker 2 (05:28):
No, no, they got them for free. They're given to them.
And he was like, I like it on a fast break, Oh, yell.

Speaker 1 (05:34):
Dug it, dug it.

Speaker 2 (05:40):
He's just knowing they're not gonna dunk it, but I
yell at every time. And he was like, my wife
gets so annoyed with me, like stop that, stop that.
You know they're not gonna dunk it. So we're watching
it last night or what Monday night and Paige Buker's
is playing and she gets a ball. She starts running
and he yells, dug it, dug it. But he also

(06:03):
pointed out he goes watch, he goes. I don't know
what it is about the women's basketball. He said, I've
never seen more five second violations in my life. Like
it's like if someone is guarding their player, they just
panic and they don't throw the ball in and We
watched for ten minutes and we saw three five second
violations that I am not passing the ball in and

(06:25):
he goes, I don't understand. He goes watch they just
start panicking and they don't throw it.

Speaker 1 (06:30):
It sounds like me and two K I couldn't figure
out the button to throw it in bounce. But it
must be different. And the thing with that is girls
don't want to make a mistake. Guys are willing to stray.
They're willing to go to a strip club. They're willing to,
you know, be a little crazy, talk a little inappropriately
to the coworker at work, and it leads to an
afternoon hangout in a bedroom. You know, guys are doing that.
Women they'll take the five seconds because I believe they're

(06:51):
a little bit more not wanting to make a mistake.
And then I'll hang up and listen.

Speaker 2 (06:55):
That's pretty interesting. I never thought of it that way,
but yeah, So just so you know, right now, I
am full on women's college basketball. The past couple of days,
cousin Andrew has been filling me on all the stuff.

Speaker 1 (07:06):
Going on, and that is the sign of a good person.
And guys, let us toot our own horns for the
truck drivers. Let love you guys. We know you're smart
out there, okay.

Speaker 2 (07:15):
And the people we're going to Ashley Furniture.

Speaker 1 (07:17):
Whatever they have said to you guys. You guys are
damn smart.

Speaker 2 (07:20):
And all you plumbers, I mean, you guys are real smart,
intelligent people.

Speaker 1 (07:23):
Dude, I was reading that thread about saying that I
want to get back to this about us being good people.
But let me say that the people the plumber or
whatever the plumber is saying that we're dumb, they're dumb guys.
I barely got a degree. I don't. I barely graduated college.
I barely graduated high school. Like I'm not like, I'm
not saying I'm a MENSA member. I think we're all
pretty much on the exact with the Internet. What you're
gonna find is doctors, lawyers are the smartest. Everybody else

(07:47):
is in the middle. I'm pretty sure we're all right
there together.

Speaker 2 (07:50):
Like, No, here's my thing is. I think the dude
was having a bad day because obviously it's a joke.

Speaker 1 (07:57):
He goes, I want to compare W two. Yeah, I mean,
help me with mine, because I got to do my taxes.
I need to figure out how to print it at work,
because guess what, it's impossible unless I want to write
down every little category. Our printer here doesn't connect when
I tried to print off the W two. So I
don't even know how I'm gonna come and people that
with you.

Speaker 2 (08:16):
Because I need to print a freaking return label for
something I bought, and I don't know how to print
it because I don't have it. I'm not connected to
the printer, and I don't know how to get connected
to the printer. So I just sit there and look
at it on my computer and I'm like, maybe tomorrow
I can figure that out.

Speaker 1 (08:29):
Yeah, I mean, and your wife, I asked her for
a ten ninety nine from the convention. I don't know
if that is well, And then we had the conversation
if it's zero dollars, do I even have to submit
it to the government.

Speaker 2 (08:38):
I don't know what a ten ninety nine is.

Speaker 1 (08:40):
It's a form if you do contract work.

Speaker 2 (08:42):
Got it.

Speaker 1 (08:42):
I was contracted by Arnold and that could I get back.
I gotta get back to us being good people.

Speaker 2 (08:48):
I just think people that listen to this podcast, they
obviously know we're joking, right, He had to be having
a bad day. Had to be having a bad day,
and I just I think that is it and I've
got to take it for that. Do I sound terrible?

Speaker 1 (09:01):
A little bit, but not terrible.

Speaker 2 (09:03):
BENI is just driving me nuts.

Speaker 1 (09:05):
And I will tell you this. The big box jobs
I get, contractors make the what is it called overtime.
That's where you get all the money. We don't get overtime.

Speaker 2 (09:13):
Gay, if you're a plumber and you get a call
on Saturday, you charge triple. I mean, it's amazing.

Speaker 1 (09:17):
Drop your pants. I get it. You guys are bigger there, man.
But let's just roll with it. Let me say this
about us being good people. If those people come into
your life like Boomer and he goes, hey, I'm really
into video games. Guess what. I played video games all weekend.
If your cousin comes to your house and he says
I'm into women's basketball, did you watch those five second
violations with him?

Speaker 2 (09:35):
I did.

Speaker 1 (09:35):
That's being a good person because then you take on
their interest. Guys, and I'll hang up and I'll listen
one correct.

Speaker 2 (09:41):
I didn't just ignore him like hey, we're turning this off.
I was just like, Okay, I guess we're watching this,
and we watched.

Speaker 1 (09:47):
It, and I mean, I like Michigan State. Actually I
like him a little bit more, but Boomer loves Michigan State.
So I had to learn all the players. I had
to learn about Cooper, Jace Richardson, his dad's a dad.
And then I had to learn about Tom Is. I
knew tim what Tom is o. And then you got
the other one's Atkins and you got Vaalakuchas Yeah, Zapata
Gino Orioma. You got Atkins like you said again, and

(10:09):
then you have that's only oh car, that guy can
jump through the gym.

Speaker 2 (10:13):
Oh yeah, he was jumping.

Speaker 1 (10:14):
That dude had some hot They said he's got the
best vert.

Speaker 2 (10:17):
Yeah, I mean it was he was flying. But I'm
gonna say New Mexico got robbed in that game.

Speaker 1 (10:22):
They lost by fifteen.

Speaker 2 (10:23):
Yeah, they got robbed. Though they were in that game,
they wouldn't call a foul on Michigan State to save
their lives. They're like, we cannot have New Mexico moving
on in this game. We need to set up the
Mexican Michigan Michigan State Elite eight battle because we're not
gonna call a foul when uh New Mexico's getting their
head chopped off. I mean they're getting punched in the.

Speaker 1 (10:43):
They have a guy on New Mexico by the name
of Nelly. I believe it was his first name. He
was getting hot in her He may go NBA. His
efficiency was that high on the meter. So you heard
that here first, guys, We're gonna do it live. Arnold
is back Friday.

Speaker 2 (10:59):
Oh Friday.

Speaker 1 (11:00):
This is a pre record?

Speaker 2 (11:03):
Oh right?

Speaker 1 (11:04):
Or I mean is he was? He? W you seen
him here today?

Speaker 2 (11:06):
I have not seen him. But I also couldn't find
my water bottle. I thought someone stole it. So Arnold,
I was getting a little ticked off. I mean I
searched that bathroom. I haven't looked at the trash gain
in the bathroom. Oh, but I gotta talk.

Speaker 1 (11:18):
I talk to an executive again in the bathroom.

Speaker 2 (11:20):
Oh can't wait.

Speaker 1 (11:21):
Okay, we gotta do it live. We Oh the one
two here?

Speaker 2 (11:26):
Sore losers, Literally, my hanging binging is sore? What up? Everybody?
I am lunch biased. I know the most about sports,
so I'll give you the sports facts, my sports opinions,
because I'm pretty much a sports genius, y'all.

Speaker 1 (11:38):
It says it I'm from the north. I'm an alpha male.
I live on the north side of Nashville with a
Broadway girl. We have two point two acres in the country.
I get the price of land is cheaper in the country,
and people that live forty five minutes from me their
land is also equally as cheap. Just wanty clear that
up on the Facebook page. And guys, yes, we do
have two point five kids at the Vanderbilt clinic. Justin

(11:59):
checks on him every day. Baser is a stay at
home she Apsley loves her job, and I think I
may do it soon so I don't have to come
into this god forsaken place anymore. Coach over to you.
Let me talk about the bathroom. So back over to me.

Speaker 2 (12:10):
Yeah, you want to go back over to you right now?
Do we have enough time to do the bathroom or
I mean it's quick. Oh I thought it was gonna
be a great conversation. It is here.

Speaker 1 (12:18):
So the executive, me and him are walking in the
bathroom at the same time, and he's part of the
whole network of sports focts mainly, and so we start
the conversation. I did it too open ended. I go, hey, man,
you have do some marsh Madness brackets, and so I
was kind of referring to the one we're doing here
at work. It was free. You get a two hundred
and fifty dollars gift card. It was totally free.

Speaker 2 (12:38):
And so you know what Pitts did. He entered six
times into that.

Speaker 1 (12:41):
Could you do that?

Speaker 2 (12:42):
Yes, I'm like, well that's I mean.

Speaker 1 (12:45):
Brother, I picked every upset brother. I had morehead State,
and I also had Bellmont.

Speaker 2 (12:49):
Oh, I have Houston, I have Florida winning it. I
have Auburn winning it. I'm like, well, no, you have
too many brackets. I can't even count it.

Speaker 1 (12:56):
You just furthered My point and how confusing sometimes it
gets with March Madness. Fill out one bracket, be in
one league, and it all makes sense. We were talking
about five different leagues at the exact same time I
was talking about the free one. He was talking about
the one that you paid for at work.

Speaker 2 (13:13):
I paid for that one because that dude. Guess what
he takes Venmo now because the uproar Venmo squares. He
wasn't doing it for the Super Bowl, but all of
a sudden, someone else he emails him about Venmo and
he replies, all and says, I will now take Venmo. Well,
thank you very much. A little month too late. I
tried to Venmo you the last time.

Speaker 1 (13:32):
And so then our conversation digressed too. There's a New
York pool for March Madness. WHOA, I don't want to
get into details, but that one sounds real fun. No
details given, And so we were talking about five different
March Madness pools at the exact same time. We finally
came to the consensus though, where we got back down
to earth and I said, but it's pretty chalky, right,
and he goes, yeah, so it's going to be a

(13:53):
lot of teams that are close, a lot of people
that are close in the office. It'll be the last
weekend when you figure out the winner. And I go,
but it is good, not just a bunch of Yukon's.
Everybody's kind of split on the winter. You got your Florida's,
you got your Bamas, you got your Ducies, Dukes, Auburns.
So we finally understood it at the end, but good god,
we were talking about a Massachusetts pool, a free pool,

(14:13):
an inner office pool, and I think his pool at
his condo. At the exact same time. It was a
little confusing.

Speaker 2 (14:19):
All well, taking a leak, what about the swimming pool?
That was also my biggest interest. So what did you
find out from the exec who is his national champ?

Speaker 1 (14:28):
I didn't get to I only could talk to him
while we were peeing, because then we went our separate ways.
So I was just like, you know, the whole time,
we're both leaking together and I'm trying to get in
as much conversation, but we're going all over the country.
We were talking about a California pool, a Michigan pool.
I just wanted to get down to how are the
sore losers looking in the pool of life? We never

(14:49):
got to that.

Speaker 2 (14:51):
See, that is the hard part. Like right now, the
only thing people want to talk about is the bracket.

Speaker 1 (14:56):
Who did you pick it away? Uh, cinder, that's it.
We cut it. We're both going in separate direction.

Speaker 2 (15:04):
It's wild how that works, man, Like all of a sudden,
this time of the year, the office talk, all it
is is about brackets and pools, and you don't even
know what pool they're talking about. Well, I'm doing good
in my pool. I'm second place in my pool. Oh me,
I'm fifth place in my pool. Oh yeah, my sister,
she's dead last in our pool.

Speaker 1 (15:19):
The free pool, the family pool, the New York pool,
the inner office pool. What are we talking about?

Speaker 2 (15:26):
Guys?

Speaker 1 (15:26):
They can go in a lot of different directions. That's
why I'm into the work pool that was free and
the family pool that was free.

Speaker 2 (15:33):
That's why you need to should have been like, hey man,
how do I get that invite to the New York pool?
Then we start meeting the brass in New York and
then we win the bracket. They're like, who are these guys?
They must know their sports.

Speaker 1 (15:43):
Seeing I didn't even get to get to that because
then I was trying to say, like, how much is that?
And he goes, yeah, he's kind of beating around the bush.
And I was trying to get that number, and he goes,
have to get that one in installments, and I'm like,
but what's the number? Up to see letter? We were
done taking a peet. The conversation had to end. We
never got to that total. We never got to who
we picked. We never got to the balls being any

(16:05):
good or not? Did he go to the SEC tournament?
I didn't get to any of that because I had
to go. We had to go back to the bag
show man. So that was it.

Speaker 2 (16:14):
That's pretty cool. Man. But did he wash his hands? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (16:17):
We both did. That's why I was trying to linger.
And I'm like, you hand me a little bit of
that phone.

Speaker 2 (16:21):
Hey, you stick your foot in front of the door. Hey, man, Sorry,
it's locked. You can't get out of here. Hey, somethe
hell so, Hey, while we're stuck in here, man, let's
talk a little bit more about that bracket.

Speaker 1 (16:30):
You know what, Man, I'm gonna go in the stall
check the oil. You gotta go.

Speaker 2 (16:35):
We can talk through the wall, man, no problem, it's good.

Speaker 1 (16:38):
If it would have been a wall talk, I could
have had twenty minutes with him about the sore losers.

Speaker 2 (16:41):
I'd have been great. Man. We need we need more
and face time with execs.

Speaker 1 (16:44):
Knows my name?

Speaker 2 (16:46):
Really?

Speaker 1 (16:46):
Yeah? Hey ray, hey man sore losing what's his name?
Met him that one time at the Christmas party?

Speaker 2 (16:55):
Is it?

Speaker 1 (16:55):
Uh? I don't know, man, oh man, I got hit
up the website then, hey, maybe John cal party? No,
I need to look it up, all right, man, Yeah,
we gotta go a break.

Speaker 2 (17:06):
Hey, we're gonna take a break. Man, We're gonna come back.
We'll be right back. You guys, get somebody, get someone
to drink. We'll be right back. Phones.

Speaker 1 (17:16):
You're live live.

Speaker 2 (17:18):
Uh, you said you wanted to do a crime pod.
I mean there are three crime situations, or at least
two crime and one unsolved mystery.

Speaker 1 (17:27):
Well, I just felt like there's something that I could add.
That's why I hit you up early hours of the
morning and said crime pod is necessary today. I've got
some stuff I gotta get off my chest. I just
feel like he could benefit not mean not authorities, just anybody,
anybody that's curious about this particular crime. And that's where's
my audio.

Speaker 2 (17:44):
There it is. So, which one do you want to
talk about?

Speaker 1 (17:47):
First? Well, we got to restart the show, don't we.

Speaker 2 (17:51):
No, we already did it.

Speaker 1 (17:52):
Yeah, good point.

Speaker 2 (17:53):
We don't really start it after every commercial break, right,
We don't do an intro every commercial breaking night. We
are the one two hey, sore losers, we don't do that.
So which one do you want to start with? Do
you want to start with Riley Straine? What?

Speaker 1 (18:10):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (18:10):
Yeah, he's back in the news, Yo, Riley Strain. You
may not remember the name. You may remember the name.
He came to Nashville with his fraternity brothers for a
formal weekend and he went missing and they found him
in the Cumberland River. He had drowned. Now, Riley Strain's

(18:31):
family files a wrongful death suit against the fraternity. Here's
my thing. I'm just gonna read to you what it
says in the news story. This is from Fox seventeen Nashville.
The filing goes on to accuse the fraternity of multiple
negligent acts, including failing to have an adequate safety measures

(18:52):
in place for this formal, allowing excessive drinking on the
chapter buses that transported the fraternity to Nashville in the
absence of chaperones or advisors, among other accusations. It lists
thirty two fraternity members, including presidents, officers, leadership, and brothers
in the lawsuit. Here's my thing. I was never in

(19:16):
a fraternity, But I'm gonna look at it this way.
And I know you are terribly saddened that your son
is no longer with us, that he went out for
a night of drinking, a weekend of partying with his
friends and something tragic happened. This, to me is grasping
at straws on trying to blame someone else, your son,

(19:42):
your loved one decided to get on the bus from
their university. He decided to drink the alcohol. No one
held him down, made him drink the alcohol. He went
bar to bar to bar to bar and was partaking
in the festivities. He was having fun. Did he have
too much to drink? Yes? Absolutely. Is it the someone's

(20:07):
responsibility to hold his hand and make sure he doesn't
have too much to drink?

Speaker 1 (20:12):
If you have a big brother in the fraternity.

Speaker 2 (20:15):
No, it's not a chaperone. So you're telling me when
you're twenty one or twenty two year old son, I
don't remember how old he was when he goes on vacation,
he needs to have a chaperone. No, at some point,
you have to let your owls, your doves. You have
to let them out into society, and they had to

(20:37):
make decisions on their own, and you can't have someone
hold their hand the entire time. It's terrible what happened,
It's absolutely terrible. But suing the fraternity because they didn't
have chaperones, This is not a kindergarten field trip. A
kindergarten field trip, Yes, I get it. They need chaperones,
and I did a hell of a job I knocked

(20:58):
that out of the park.

Speaker 1 (21:00):
Send to Monday's podcasts.

Speaker 2 (21:02):
But to say they needed chaperones on a fraternity trip
to Nashville get out of town?

Speaker 1 (21:08):
True, and maybe it's younger chaperones. You're just thinking your
own age. What if it was a twenty one year
old chaperone. But I will say this does put a
lot of light on the dangers of alcohol. Guys. You
can't drink twenty fifteen drinks and think something's not gonna happen.
My buddy Billy one time he got his face busted in.
He had fifteen drinks. You can't put down twenty drinks.

(21:29):
There's several homeless people down there that have made that
many bad decisions that many times, and that's probably why
they're on their last dollar. So you can go down
there have four drinks drinking. You have to be responsible,
have that talk with yourself before the day starts. You
know it's the oh, I'm gonna go to a pool
party and drink thirty beers. You're not. You're gonna pass out.

(21:51):
All your friends are gonna go downtown in ubers and
you're gonna feel like you left out, got left out
because you weren't responsible. So that's all I got on that,
and then.

Speaker 2 (21:59):
To blame them for eternity brothers, Yeah, bro Ode, are
you supposed to leave with them when they get kicked out?
Who was that?

Speaker 1 (22:07):
What was that? No?

Speaker 2 (22:09):
No, when he gets kicked out of the bar, they
may have not even noticed that he didn't he got
kicked out of the bar or wasn't allowed in the bar,
because there's so much going on inside a bar that
you don't know. And when I got kicked out of bars,
do my friends automatically leave with me? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (22:26):
I left with you. I'm just kidding. I was never
with you and you got kicked out.

Speaker 2 (22:30):
I don't know. But even if you're in a big group,
it takes a minute for everybody to be like, hey man, hey,
they got kicked out. Let's get like it's like, let
me let me take you back to when Batter's Box
we were in Arizona, and.

Speaker 1 (22:42):
What if everybody that's a batter's box here?

Speaker 2 (22:45):
It was Halloween weekend in Tucson in Arizona.

Speaker 1 (22:49):
I want to put Arethi's cup down my pant.

Speaker 2 (22:52):
He did do that one time, and we were there
for my cousin Shawn's wedding and we I mean I
was twenty two maybe young, thinking I was badass. I
could drink.

Speaker 1 (23:05):
How's it going, ladies? I see myself in your pants? Later?

Speaker 2 (23:08):
My brother thinks he's an Oh, macho man knows how
to drink. Played baseball at Concordia University.

Speaker 1 (23:15):
Whoa low key flex?

Speaker 2 (23:16):
Yeah? Him and Josh Van hook they could party like
nobody's business.

Speaker 1 (23:21):
Come here, you a little hooker.

Speaker 2 (23:23):
The problem is there was the Irish in town from Ireland,
from my cousin's other side of the family, and those
boys couldn't drink.

Speaker 1 (23:32):
And they want to prove it too every time they drink.

Speaker 2 (23:35):
We are going out. We were just at the rehearsal
dinner and they are doing straight yager. Here, let's do
three stretch of yeager before we head to the bar.
Have we just been drinking for two hours? It's only
six o'clock, okay, all right?

Speaker 1 (23:46):
Cool?

Speaker 2 (23:46):
And it was Halloween weekend, man, And we go to
the bar and we're of the first ones at the bar.
Then it starts getting crowded. In Scottsville, Tucson, same thing said. Whatever,
I don't know. I don't know the difference.

Speaker 1 (23:59):
Mais Son and Scottsdale. All touch each other in Phoenix
as well.

Speaker 2 (24:03):
So anyway we go and we will be there and
we're drinking and all of a sudden it gets crowded
and I'm standing in line to take a piss, you know,
and here comes Batter's Box stumbling up with my drink.
He's like, here, I got you drink. He's like, you
in line for the bathroom. I'm like yeah. He goes.
I'm like get in line, and someone's like, hey, no
cutting in the bathroom line. And my brother's like, just

(24:27):
shut up. I just got a pee. I gotta pee
really bad. And he's like getting all piss. I'm like here,
I'll just get out of line and you can have
the spot. Go with me. He just goes in the bathroom.

Speaker 1 (24:36):
You went in with the guy.

Speaker 2 (24:38):
No, my brother goes in. The Batter's Box goes in
the bathroom. I go in and pee, and then a
bouncer is waiting for Batter's Box when he gets out
of the bathroom and he's like, did you just cut line? No, No,
I didn't cut line. Well they said you did, and
he's like no. He goes like you're out of here, man.

Speaker 1 (24:55):
Well no, you're out of here straight three?

Speaker 2 (24:57):
And he goes, no, no, I didn't cut And I
said no, man, I didn't go to the bathroom. I
let him have my spot. The bouncer's like all right,
and then Batter's box loses it on the bouncer.

Speaker 1 (25:04):
Seesh.

Speaker 2 (25:06):
He says, what just because some frat daddy tells you
I cut in line, you're gonna come here and kick
me out of your bar? Is that how you like it?
You like it when then frat daddy's binged you over
the toilet and have zaddy? Oh?

Speaker 1 (25:19):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (25:20):
Do you like it when the frat daddy gives it
to you from behind over a urinal? Is that how
it's run here at this bar? You trying to turn
to or turn me on?

Speaker 1 (25:27):
Zaddy?

Speaker 2 (25:28):
He's like, I'm sorry, I didn't know. These frat daddies
ran your life and they told you how to jump
and eat and what. He just starts going off about
these frat daddy's going to town on this bouncer.

Speaker 1 (25:37):
Why can't he be both?

Speaker 2 (25:40):
Oh you think? Oh, you think you like that? Is
that frat daddy turned you on? And did he whisper
something in your ear? Is that why you're gonna kick
me out of here. And I'm like, Batter's Box, what are.

Speaker 1 (25:49):
You doing, bro? You're gonna flash some leathers? Zaddy? Or
are you gonna flash me?

Speaker 2 (25:53):
Oh? And so you know they take him. He's out
of here. Batter's Box is gone. Is it my respect
possibility to go out and find Batter's Box?

Speaker 1 (26:03):
A little bit?

Speaker 2 (26:03):
A little bit right, We're in a foreign city. So
I find my cousin Kevin from Atlanta. Ry We were
in Atlantis and he's twenty one the Lost City, and
we roll out, Let's go, let's go, let's go find
Batter's Box.

Speaker 1 (26:15):
About to pull out.

Speaker 2 (26:16):
We go out outside the bar Batter's Box.

Speaker 1 (26:20):
I guess you can't. You can say pull up, you
can say roll out, but you can't say pull out.

Speaker 2 (26:24):
No ed boys were about to pull out. No, he did.
He told the Friday. He told the bouncer, how you
like it? When the Friday he pulls out? Are you
like it? To leave it in hold? I mean, he
was going crazy and we go outside. Batter's Box is
nowhere to be found, dude, and we're like, and we're drunk, like,
let's go to the next bar.

Speaker 1 (26:41):
He probably went to the next bar, bottle blonde.

Speaker 2 (26:44):
And we go to the next bar. Batter's Box not
in there, all right. We get a drink, can't find him,
go to the next bar, drink, can't find him. Next bar, drink,
can't find them, and my cousin we left him and
his you know, all the Irish people. We left him
at that first bar because we didn't know all them.
We just needed one two people to find Batter's box. Finally,
it's like one o'clock in the morning. We are smackered,

(27:07):
and we we call my sister and we're like, hey,
you gotta come get us. We can't find Batter's Box,
but I don't know where he is. He won't answer
his phone nothing. So my sister drives thirty five minutes
from the hotel, drives to get us, picks us up,
drives us thirty five minutes back to the hotel. We
get to the hotel and it is two thirty in

(27:30):
the morning and we get a call from a random
number and it's Batter's Box. I'm right, dude, where are you.

Speaker 1 (27:40):
I'm in an alley.

Speaker 2 (27:41):
It's like I'm at fifth and fourth. I'm like, there's
no way you can be at fifth and fourth.

Speaker 1 (27:46):
Streets running odd numbers.

Speaker 2 (27:49):
I'm at fifth and fourth. Come get me. Hangs up
and I tell my sister, Hey, we got to go
get Batter's box. He's down there at fifth and fourth.
Don't know what that means. Well, we get down there.
There's no way he's gonna be here. Fifth and fourth
they don't even intersect. How do they intersect?

Speaker 1 (28:04):
Fifth and fourth? Popular bar scene in Tucson.

Speaker 2 (28:07):
But they have fifth Avenue that goes one way, or
avenues go one way in street the other. So he
was at fifth Avenue.

Speaker 1 (28:13):
In fourth Street, wild Ray, on the corner of a court,
and then over to the left of that was a
valley and then also a boulevard and a lane was
too over.

Speaker 2 (28:23):
So we get there and and he's just passed out
on a street light pole, laying there like up against it,
and there's no one around, like it's just like everybody's
already cleared out.

Speaker 1 (28:34):
Shesh.

Speaker 2 (28:35):
And there's a cop sitting there, and we tap him
on the shoulder and not a hey man, thanks for
coming to save me. Hey, good to see you. What
took you so long?

Speaker 1 (28:45):
Batter's Bucks. You were left for dead. You were left
for dead. But Also, it's a battleground. I hate the reference.
I couldn't think of another one. You're gonna have a
lot of men down and who can continue on throughout
the night, make it to all the bars, everybody eventually
gets together.

Speaker 2 (28:58):
Correct and so saying it's the fraternity's brother's fault for
not going with him. They may have taken ten seconds
and come out after Riley and not been able to
find them, and looked everywhere and tried to find them
and thought, oh, maybe he went back to the hotel.
Because my cousin and I we looked, We did everything
we could. Would we have been sued if we couldn't

(29:18):
find batter's box. I'm sorry, not the fraternity's fault, not
the brother's fault. I'm sorry that he is gone, but
it is not their responsibility.

Speaker 1 (29:27):
Will the cameras prove and corroborate that that they did look.

Speaker 2 (29:30):
But it doesn't matter if they looked, it's not their responsibility.
They are not in charge of him. Throw code bro
code is not a law, So suing them is a
little bit crazy to me. That that's my opinion. It
just came out the news. We had to do an update.
Now let's go over to your story.

Speaker 1 (29:48):
What about commercial?

Speaker 2 (29:50):
Do we need to go to commercial? Chelse?

Speaker 1 (29:52):
Yeah, well just took us to Tucson for twenty minutes.

Speaker 2 (29:55):
But I tied it in perfectly. You understand. I tied
it into someone getting kicked out of a bar.

Speaker 1 (30:00):
Yeah, that's why you're a great host. Good job.

Speaker 2 (30:02):
I don't know if that was really that great ray.

Speaker 1 (30:04):
That's called a seamless segue.

Speaker 2 (30:05):
And I can see batters Box sitting in his cubicle,
AKA is house listening to this? Why is at work?
Just going? Really, you're gonna tell that story about how
I told the bouncer. You like it when the fret
that he binged you over? You like it when you
get You like it rough or you like it easy?

Speaker 1 (30:19):
Batters Box, you're listening to Houston Astros Radio.

Speaker 2 (30:22):
Baby, we'll take a break, say we'll be right back.

Speaker 1 (30:31):
All right. The reports are out. Brett Gardner of the
New York Yankees. He played for them won a World
series with him. He was in Costa Rica, vacationing with
his family in a city called Manuel Antonio, a popular
tourist destination. His son, fourteen years old, sadly died while
they were on that vacation. It happened in the wee

(30:52):
hours of the morning. Family had fallen ill, his son
had fallen ill. They said food poisoning, they said asphyxia.
Than that was ruled out wee hours of the morning.
The sun passed away. Tragic, sad story. And now we're
learning more stuff. Have you seen this?

Speaker 2 (31:10):
I haven't seen the new stuff.

Speaker 1 (31:12):
So initially they said there was vomit. And I have
insight because I did live in Costa Rica, So maybe
I can add to this story. Whatever you see on
daily Mail, if we can just give you a little
bit more, that's all alleged, maybe some thoughts on it
that helped paint a picture. But they said there was vomit,
so then you think, well, you know, maybe it was
food poisoning and he got sick and then he choked

(31:33):
on his own vomit. But then the reason that.

Speaker 2 (31:35):
Is what happened tonight from real world back to New Orleans.
He passed away because he choked on his own vomit.

Speaker 1 (31:42):
That's right, Yeah, night K and I g h T. Yeah,
you said that's what happened tonight tonight. That's crazy. It's
same word, different spellings. You're right, and so then they
said it wasn't a sixies, so there was no blockage
of the airway passageway. And so the atest thing is
possibly he got a medication and had a crazy reaction

(32:06):
to it and died. Oh and so then that makes
me think when I was there, does this stuff happen?
And the resort is five star, it's nine hundred dollars
a night. It is very nice. We never say it
ones like that. Could we have had a drink there? Possibly?
But beautiful man Montonio and Costa Rica is beautiful. I
see why a fellow Yankee would have went there, taken
his family, talk about the ideal vacation. The only problem

(32:27):
is you are a Yankee. No, but we went there,
studied Spanish whole summer. I'm part Costa Rican. But you said,
fellow Yankee, pioto vita, we're Americans. Fella yankee, got it,
that's what they call us.

Speaker 2 (32:38):
Didn't know that.

Speaker 1 (32:39):
So yeah, So and he gets there and they do that,
and they do the vacation, the tropical thing. But guys,
if it is a food thing, so it's either it's medication,
which I can address, and then also the food thing.
If it's a food thing, the resort is said we're
five star.

Speaker 2 (32:51):
We didn't.

Speaker 1 (32:52):
It's none of the food we reserve. This is some
of the best food in the world. What I'm telling
you is there's carts, there's kids selling bread. One time
we were riding in a car up to Haco and
some kid had some sweetbread. I was so hungry the
whole thing. Dude, I have never had the worst stomach
ache in my entire life. We were going into the
club and I was duck walking, squatting down, holding my

(33:13):
stomach so it didn't go out of my butt. I
was holding my hand as hard as I could, pressed
up against my legs. So I didn't go to the bathroom
by myself. And I said, guys going to the club
without me, I'm going back to the house. And I
was there for two hours, vobbiting out the other end.
And so the food that you can get on the
streets can go south in a hurry. Another time, one
of my buddies they have all these like shish kebobs chicken.

Speaker 2 (33:34):
Which Buddy unnamed.

Speaker 1 (33:38):
I mean, it was like we went there with a
whole bunch of Texas straight.

Speaker 2 (33:40):
So I'm just checking, just making sure.

Speaker 1 (33:42):
I couldn't even tell you these guys name, that's crazy.

Speaker 2 (33:44):
You lived with them in Costa Rico.

Speaker 1 (33:46):
I mean your life South Beach, Matt McGee, they're my
best friends who lived there. The other guys Matt McGee
now never heard of them. Houston, he's the craziest dude ever.
But I think he has a family now and he's
all mellowed out and chill. But he would open every
day with a six pack of beer in periolf.

Speaker 2 (34:00):
That's all I'm talking about.

Speaker 1 (34:01):
So this dude, I can't remember his name. It's like
Mike's Zeke's something, and he's get street meat. You get
out of the bard and you eat this street meat.
He had a three day stomach ache.

Speaker 2 (34:10):
Oh, street Meat's scary.

Speaker 1 (34:12):
There's also the water situation in Coastriega. You can't drink
the water. You can't even brush your teeth with the water,
or you can get violently ill. One time, when I
first got there, I said, huh, that's funny. You can't
brush your teeth with the water. That's hilarious. Three days later,
I went in my shorts and had to get into
the shower with my shorts on because they were that soiled.
So there's that type of stuff that doesn't happen at
the five star resort. Let's hope that we get conclusive evidence.

(34:36):
They said it could take three months to get the
toxicology report and all that stuff back. It is another country,
and they say there's some sort of a I've pulled
up the article, but it was so outlandish, I was like,
do I even want to read this? The couple must
now wait up to ninety days to know exactly how
their fourteen year old boy died in Central American country
because they said there's a murder war between drug gangs

(35:01):
right now, which is crazy. You'd hope that they can
get some answers. So what I'm saying is that maybe
the answer is the food. Not at the resort. They
were eating the finest there could possibly have been. But
there's street meet, there's the street bed, and I can
tell you first and foremost from firsthand experience, it's the
toughest you'll ever have to feel, and like strong wise

(35:23):
of your stomach feeling like it's about to leave your body.
You're like physically trying to keep your stomach in your body.
It's that bad because for whatever reason, we get used
to eating this American stuff and you go to another
and it's different processing. So that's the food part of it,
the medication part.

Speaker 2 (35:38):
I dated a chick.

Speaker 1 (35:39):
While I was there in the middle of the American Tech.
We we're from the same school, and you met her there,
you met her in Texas State, met her there, but
we both went to Texas State.

Speaker 2 (35:49):
That's legit.

Speaker 1 (35:50):
And so Lauren, similar to my current wife.

Speaker 2 (35:54):
Where's she at now?

Speaker 1 (35:55):
I think she was in Dallas. She worked for some
lighting company for weddings. Last I knew that was fifteen
years ago, before you were married. Yes, And so she
got sick one night. I didn't know if it was
the food, didn't know if it was drinks. We had
to call on the medicales emergias. I haven't been there
in a minute. I'm emersio. The Federals are the police,

(36:21):
but it was the medical.

Speaker 2 (36:24):
I don't think it matters. And so I know you
were sitting there gonna try to spit ball for five minutes.
You can just call them paramedics. Dude, no one gives
a crap like you don't need I remember the I mean,
you were you were positive too long. It was great
if you came up with it thirty seconds, but we
don't need five minutes of that.

Speaker 1 (36:41):
And so you don't really know the medication there. It
all has all different names and it's in Spanish. Are
they professionals, Yes, probably different credentials in America. But we
went down to the Kpos. We went to a town
ten minutes away. I'm on the phone with her dad
in Dallas, McKinney in the suburb, the affluent suburb, and
I'm like, hey, yeah, I'm looking at this medication. He's like,
is it good medic that you're going to give my daughter?

(37:01):
And I'm like, dude, I don't know. I'm in a
foreign country. She's so sick right now. She needs something
to help her stomach. And he goes, well, I'm trusting
you that you're gonna pick the right pill. I had
like four, and I had to pick between, and I
went with the lowest dosage, the smallest pill.

Speaker 2 (37:15):
Always go with the red pill. Man.

Speaker 1 (37:16):
It gave her food and water and we crossed her
fingers and she felt better in the morning.

Speaker 2 (37:21):
If I've learned anything from the movies, it's picked the
red pill.

Speaker 1 (37:24):
But also, you can get any pills down there. I
mean you could, So let's just hope. You know, we'll
find out in the next couple of months. But the
medication wise, you don't know, and they'll give you anything.
There's a laundry list you could have. I could have
while she was taking her pill for her stomach. I
could have taken a steroid. I could have taken, uh
not a lax it if I could have taken a quelude.

(37:45):
And they have every pill in the world. So let's
just hope it wasn't a wrong pill because they said
the newest reports are that could have been a bad medication.
It was vomit. He got sick, other family members got sick,
so and then and then it's the fourteen year a
year old thing and they're in Costa Rica. You can drink.
Did mom and dad? This is just me thinking in
my head alleged not alleged ideas theories. Did they drink

(38:08):
too much and then he choked on his own vomit?
But they ruled out the asphyxia, so they said he
didn't choke on his own vomit, but he did vomit.

Speaker 2 (38:15):
So do they have to keep his body that I
don't know if you've read this, or can they bring
it back to America and do all this stuff.

Speaker 1 (38:21):
They're trying to bring it back to America right now,
but it's still in Costa Rica and.

Speaker 2 (38:25):
You're really you know, I'm gonna guess after this story
came out that Baser is completely out on Costa Rica
this summer.

Speaker 1 (38:32):
Dude, I haven't even brought it up, but yeah, it's
Costa Rica has been out because she doesn't she always
wants all inclusive and I like to adventure out. Which
this story doesn't really help my case because it was
about two blocks from when we were about to stay.
We were about to stay at Lat Mary Posa, and
they stayed at Americano de Coastal, their stone's throw away.

Speaker 2 (38:50):
Because you had convinced me about three weeks ago that
I should look at Costa Rica how amazing it is,
and then your stories today. You've never told me that
every food you eight made you sick in Costa Rica.
The water made you sick in Costa Rica. So if
you are doing an ad for Costa Rica tourism, you
did a terrible job. Man, you did a terrible job.

Speaker 1 (39:11):
But this is all me saying I know the most
bomb A waterfalls, volcanoes, volcano and all bus rides, waves
that are triple overhead, the tallsh you've ever seen in
your white life, black sand beaches, the mangroves with the alligators,
one of them. You stand there.

Speaker 2 (39:27):
Do you want to go with alligators?

Speaker 1 (39:28):
No?

Speaker 2 (39:28):
Thanks, I'm too scared. You get out and they walk around.

Speaker 1 (39:31):
No, it's e're in the water. You're in a boat.
Oh rick shot.

Speaker 2 (39:35):
Well, I was like, you're in the water. What the
hell are you doing in the water.

Speaker 1 (39:37):
Well, and then you add another puntenas you go to
another spot and there's fifty alligrators all in one spot,
and you buy meat and throw it down at them.

Speaker 2 (39:44):
That's cool.

Speaker 1 (39:44):
So you want somebody like me for that the details,
you would never have this kind of a trip. That's detailed.
But I'll also tell you this stuff. Avoid the water,
avoid the bread, avoid the street meat. As long as
you have that type of stuff. I've experienced it for
three months. I know all the pitfalls. So there you go.
But maybe I added some light to that. There are
other things. It's not just resort drank too much or

(40:05):
resort gave him bad food.

Speaker 2 (40:08):
So much deeper.

Speaker 1 (40:09):
Yes, yes, it's another country, which props to them on
finding Costa Rica because if you have money, then he
wanted to be adventurous. That just tells me Brett Gardener
want to be adventurous because it's not all inclusive. They
serve you breakfast. Dude. They were killing. They were all
up and down. Manuel Antonio hitting the waves, surfing, exploring,
probably hit the local bus. That is living life. Whatever

(40:32):
fourteen years that kid had on this earth, he lived life.
And I love that because for every family goes to
Disney World and does the exact same damn thing that
every other family does, there's a family that goes to
Costa Rica and that is awesome. That kid went out, dude,
he went out the right way. They lived every year
that fourteen years. And I'll hang up and I'll listen.

Speaker 2 (40:52):
Man. I hadn't read that much about it. I saw
the headline, saw that was in Costa Rica and that
it was supposed to be chick. Then it wasn't choking,
and I was like, oh, man, I haven't checked back
on it, but that's very sad. Should we take a
break and you want to talk some more crime, Yeah,
we'll be right back right after this.

Speaker 1 (41:14):
I don't have another case.

Speaker 2 (41:15):
Kane Velaskaz, former UFC champion heading to prison for five years.
I've heard this this dude, Bob.

Speaker 1 (41:26):
Menory says he shouldn't go to jail.

Speaker 2 (41:30):
Why shouldn't he go to jail?

Speaker 1 (41:31):
Didn't he shoot another man?

Speaker 2 (41:33):
Yeah, he shot another man.

Speaker 1 (41:35):
Bob Menory says, the glove don't fit, don't acquit.

Speaker 2 (41:40):
Now he admitted to shooting. This is what happened. So
there's a guy working at the school, the daycare where
I'm not quite sure exactly where he worked. He allegedly
molested Kane Velaskaz, his son. Yes, and Kane Velaskaz didn't
like that very much. Obviously, as a you don't want

(42:00):
that to happen to your kid. So Kine Velaska has
got his gun when driving around, saw him riding around
with his dad. He's starting an eleven mile chase, chasing
this dude awesome. Now gets stuck in the stop light.
He pulls out the gun.

Speaker 1 (42:19):
Ba ba ba.

Speaker 2 (42:21):
Starts shooting at him. Hits the dude's dad like in
the shoulder. Kane Velaska is arrested. He's going to prison
for five years and.

Speaker 1 (42:31):
He'll get less than that. The feeling you get of
being a protective father, that's a great feeling. And he
had that scared the guy away. Maybe his kid can
visit him every day. Maybe it's not as bad as
you think.

Speaker 2 (42:41):
The judge was crying when they sentenced them, saying, I
never wanted to take a father, a son, a father
away from their son. Kind Of I felt like the
judge kind of understood what he was doing. I think
a lot of people might do the same thing in
that situation. And Kane was like, look, I messed up.
I shouldn't have done it that way. I understand. I
gotta suffer the consequences. And everybody says like that, he's

(43:05):
the most like stand up dude, but he's going to
prison for five years.

Speaker 1 (43:08):
Yeah, hopefully it gets reduced. And also there's ways, I mean,
maybe shoot the tires out, maybe just punch the guy
just enough. Yeah, when you do the gun to a person,
that's when you're gonna do some jail time.

Speaker 2 (43:17):
That's all I was thinking, Like, you pull him out
of the car, hit him a couple of times, then
go on your way. But man, that's just crazy. But
the guy's going to trial this like this June dude.

Speaker 1 (43:26):
A lot of crime, A lot of crime on this show,
A lot of crime.

Speaker 2 (43:30):
Should we talk about something besides crime.

Speaker 1 (43:31):
Yeah, what do you want? I can talk anything, see now, dude,
now that I don't. I'm not a gambling addict. I
know WNBA, I know women's basketball, I know March Madness.
Baseball season is underway, allegedly tomorrow. We have so much
to cover. NBA Finals, we got the playoffs starting in
a month. You got Tatum's out.

Speaker 2 (43:49):
For a little while, Dude, he rolled his ankle bad.

Speaker 1 (43:51):
There's gonna be a little cute playing tournament. That's really
not gonna matter too much. The good team should win
out and it'll usually shake out how it should. Well.

Speaker 2 (44:00):
Oh, cousin Andrew has been in town. You know, he's
been visiting for about three days.

Speaker 1 (44:04):
Ray, I'm a big Women's Texas basketbab Off fan.

Speaker 2 (44:07):
He is. He even had one of the girl's shirts.
I don't even know which girl it was. I don't
know the name Juju now she was on ut. But
he's driving from Austin. He stopped in Dallas, saw his
friend Carlos, two kids, his wife, hung out for a
few days. Then he drove to Nashville, saw me, my wife, kids,
hung out for a few days. And now he's on
to Cincinnati. He's going to Opening Day Baseball.

Speaker 1 (44:29):
Great American Ballpark.

Speaker 2 (44:31):
Yeah, he's going to Opening Day because he knows someone
within the Reds organization and they said, hey man, you're going.
I'll get you some tickets opening Day, no problem. And
he's like, oh cool, and he goes, I just got
the email saying, Hey, how many tickets do we need?
So and my cousin kept hitting him, so do you
need my email dress?

Speaker 1 (44:50):
No?

Speaker 2 (44:50):
No, man, I got it. Just remind me like a
day or two before the game. I just reminded me,
Just remind me. And my cousin's like last night he
was like, man, he hadn't hit me back, and even
had it because he goes, I know all tickets are
digital now, so he's gonna need my email address. He
hadn't hit me back.

Speaker 1 (45:04):
At what time do I remind him?

Speaker 2 (45:05):
He was like, so, I guess I'm gonna text him
real quick reminder. And he hit him yesterday about four
point thirty. Hey man, just reminded you. We're gonna be
at the game tomorrow. And he replied, he goes, you
wanted two tickets, right, and cousin Andrew's like, no, we
need four because you know, got my wife and then
our two friends that live in Cincinnati. We're going to see.
He's like, oh yeah, I got'd be no problem, no problem,

(45:26):
I got it. Don't worry about it. And then about
six fourteen pm, the phone rings as we're leaving the park. Mean,
He's like, hold on, I gotta get this. I gotta
get this.

Speaker 1 (45:37):
Hey man, Great American Ballpark. We're at the park. How cool?

Speaker 2 (45:40):
Right? So I'm loaning the kids into the cars, snapping
them into their seat good, And he's over there, pacing
back and forth.

Speaker 1 (45:49):
He's waiting for that call for the free tickets. And
we've all been there.

Speaker 2 (45:53):
He's looking a little stressed, and I'm looking at his
facial expressions. I go, this conversation doesn't look like it's
going well.

Speaker 1 (45:58):
Tickets haven't come in yet, Clark huh.

Speaker 2 (46:01):
And I'm like all right. So we're sitting in the car, like,
what are we waiting for? Dad, Let's go home, Dad,
I'm ready to go home. I'm like, cousin, Andrew's on
the phone. Guys, he's going to a baseball game tomorrow.
He's getting his free tickets.

Speaker 1 (46:12):
They said they're gonna give him Jelly of the Month club.

Speaker 2 (46:17):
And he gets in the car and he's just looking
at his feet. I said that call didn't go well,
did it, And he goes, nope, no tickets.

Speaker 1 (46:26):
Well either they banandling now downtown Cincinnati.

Speaker 2 (46:30):
I asked him, what do you mean no tickets? He goes, yeah,
I just got the call that there was no more
tickets to the game, that they had given all the
coaches tickets away. And I'm like, so, what that means
is he didn't put the request in time in in time,
and they released the other tickets because no one's gonna
use them back to the general public. He goes, yeah,

(46:50):
from my understanding, that's what happened. And he was like,
so now I don't know if I should buy tickets
now or do I wait closer to game time.

Speaker 1 (46:58):
Yeah, well, speaking of that, let's go to the app.

Speaker 2 (47:00):
And so he looked up tickets. As we were sitting
in the car at the park. He goes, well, I
can get tickets standing remoteing right now for one hundred
and eighty nine dollars apiece. Sh he goes. He goes,
and you know how I paid for lunch for you
and your wife? He goes, you think you could hit
me back?

Speaker 1 (47:17):
For that.

Speaker 2 (47:19):
A.

Speaker 1 (47:20):
Yeah, he can get in for one hundred and thirty.
He can get a seat. Oh that is standing room.
Oh what did you say?

Speaker 2 (47:25):
It was at one hundred and eighty nine.

Speaker 1 (47:27):
It's dropped, It's at one thirty seven now.

Speaker 2 (47:29):
Yeah, but I don't know, man, that's a long time
to stand.

Speaker 1 (47:34):
Yeah, and how does that work? So you really don't
have a seat, because Abby was asking me that about
the SEC tournament.

Speaker 2 (47:39):
Literally, you don't have a seat.

Speaker 1 (47:41):
So they were selling seats for the SEC tournament. People
were just standing in there.

Speaker 2 (47:45):
Yeah, you stand like at the back of the concourse,
like right where they come out of the seats, and
you stand there and you can watch. Wow, dude, Sunday
Night Baseball, Wrigley Field, Maguire Sosa. I went standing remoteing.
We bought tickets Sunday Night Baseball a ESPN. I got
the best seats I've ever had in my life. Dude.
I just walked down third base, right up from third

(48:07):
base about ten rows up, sat down. No one ever
came until the usher came and asked for my ticket
in like the fifth inning. He got it, and this
chick was sitting next to me that I'd been kind
of flirting with the whole time she'd been flirting with me.
I didn't even know her name, and I was like,
I don't have my ticket, but she has hers. Usher
took her ticket and looked at it. Oh, thanks, never
mess with again. The rest of the game, y'all are good.

(48:28):
But yeah, so cousin is gonna be paying a pretty
penny to go to the Reds game tomorrow when he
thought it was gonna be.

Speaker 1 (48:33):
Oh free, Oh oh, they're still going.

Speaker 2 (48:36):
Well, he didn't drive all the way to Cincinnati for nothing.

Speaker 1 (48:38):
Man, dude, you got to see if we got a
country station in Cincinnati. Man, one oh five hot country.

Speaker 2 (48:43):
I thought about hitting that guy that came in our
studio for the big show, but I don't know his name.

Speaker 1 (48:49):
That should go over well. Hey man, how you doing, bro?
Hey dude, quick question? You got any free tickets?

Speaker 2 (48:56):
Hey? Bro, I know I met you like at the
CMA Awards and at the Andy Wall. Any chance you
got free tickets for my cousin to go to the
Reds game Opening Day? Not that it's a hot ticket
or anything, because I know Opening Day sells out every
single year. So yeah, bad, bad night for cousin.

Speaker 1 (49:11):
The radio station see you're not involved, though the radio
station can hook it up. I went to Saint Louis
Buddy's bachelor party Jared from college ten years ago, and
they go, oh, we get you some discounting tickets. I said,
perfect anything. They just needed a deal. We get there.
The guy goes, don't even worry about him. We're sitting
third baseline, probably two hundred and fifty dollars tickets for
five dudes, fifteen hundred dollars worth of tickets free. Yeah,

(49:34):
that's an option, but I was with the group.

Speaker 2 (49:37):
Yeah, I'm not going to be there.

Speaker 1 (49:39):
You may need to go to Cincinnati.

Speaker 2 (49:41):
I can't. I can't make it. It's a day game, man, dude.

Speaker 1 (49:44):
See usually Cincinnati's not that popular. Neighbors, Jessica and her dude.
They got the base that Joey Vado touch, They got
Eli de la Cruz autograph. Oh, I gave him an
no Cho Sinko signed helmet. So yeah, they have all
kinds of Cincinnati stuff. And they said they'd get a
call day a game. Hey, can you be at the
parking thirty minutes. Got seat if you guys want to
come and drink. They'd get loaded for two hours, three
hours and then just head home, they said. But it

(50:04):
was always last second, and you get the call every
week they're going to free Cincinnati Reds games.

Speaker 2 (50:09):
Dang man, that's what life's about right there. That's the
I mean, you gotta be willing to just go, be flexible,
go see some baseball. But baseball stars tomorrow can't wait.
Opening Day. It's gonna be great. March Madness is back
tomorrow night. I don't know who plays tomorrow night.

Speaker 1 (50:25):
It's not the good game, don tolia. It's like the
Arkansas of the world, the Texas Techs, the Purdue or
purduing Houston, Friday, dude, preduing Houston or Friday. The Vall's
in Kentucky or Friday. Michigan State. It's a different day,
Michigan State and somebody in Ole, Miss. All the games
are the other days. Man, let me look, Houston's on Friday.
Here Houston duke.

Speaker 2 (50:46):
And Duke looks good. Let's see here. Hey, everybody's transferring, dude.
Scottie Pippen's kids out of there at Michigan. They're still playing.
He said, I'm transferring, dude. I'm hitting the portal on
this pod Man b Yu Alabama tomorrow, Maryland, Florida, Boringtonia. Oh, here,
here's one Arizona duke. That'll be fun. That should be fun.

Speaker 1 (51:05):
It's all the bad games Arkansas Tech, Arizona duke in
a bad game. Man, Friday is gonna be dirty because
it's the Houstons of the world. Our boy, the balls
man you got and giddy Auburn. Oh, they're like a
ten point favorite against Michigan. Calm down, Ole Miss, Michigan State,
matt Old Miss will probably beat him.

Speaker 2 (51:22):
Kentucky, Tennessee, Michigan, Auburn Produce Houston. Yep, all right, yeah,
all right, everybody have a great Wednesday. Anything else you
gotta say?

Speaker 1 (51:29):
Man, Yeah, NHL seasons winding down, they got about two
and I never realized this NHL ends at the same
time the NBA season ends, So you got about three
weeks of those then they're over. You got a month
and a half till the French Open tennis you got
you should have learned about it. Did you not see
that the whole March madness? I saw about a billion
commercials for Roland Garros.

Speaker 2 (51:47):
We get it.

Speaker 1 (51:48):
The French Open starts May May twenty fifth. We're all
aware that Janet Center is back from drugs. He will
play in it. He's the favorite. Oh Skimmer, Yeah, he's back.

Speaker 2 (51:59):
He gets back like three days that I mean, his
suspension ends like three days before Convenient.

Speaker 1 (52:03):
He's gonna play Hamburg before and then he'll be set
for the French Open. He got the NFL Draft in
a month. Guess we're taking cam Ward Apparently did a
reachround with one of the coaches when I went to
the sideline.

Speaker 2 (52:12):
Yeah, he had a good meeting with him to them, Hey,
I'm your guy.

Speaker 1 (52:14):
Man Man, I don't check the sights anymore, but I
heard he's about minus seven hundred to be the number
one pick.

Speaker 2 (52:19):
Time. I think Russell Wilson signed with the Giants.

Speaker 1 (52:21):
Man yep, Rogers, any any takers. Looks like it's between
the Vikings and the Steelers. Steelers went with Russell Wilson.
Now the Giants Raiden right, Giants Steins right. Toys Fields
is in the Jets I was talking about a day ago.
So then if the Steelers don't get Aaron Rodgers, who
do they get. The Steelers have Rudolph, Oh, the ghost

(52:42):
of Rudolph.

Speaker 2 (52:44):
So they traded for dk Metcalf gave one hundred and
fifty million dollars, and if they don't get Aaron Rodgers
are gonna roll with Mason Rudolph and Weils is out there.
Is there anybody else out there that you can think of?

Speaker 1 (52:53):
Yeah, Malik Willison, Tannehill, we got them all on our roster,
chilling on the Titans. But I will tell you this,
Titans go with cam Ward and we didn't get a risk.
If you guys haven't realized it, we have Trey Boyd
or one of the guys I don't know. We have
Calvin Ridley, and then we've got that kid that used
to was supposed to be good with Arkansas and he's bad.
So we need a third We need a third receiver.
We didn't pick up Stefan Diggs. He went to the Patriots,

(53:15):
so mark my words, we get an Elijah Moore type.
Or because nothing happened NFL Draft, we're probably gonna get
eg Buca from the Ohio State Buckeyes the or we're
gonna get who is the other guy, the guy for
uh Luther Luther head Ber Yep, we'll get him, or
we'll get egg Buca and we'll get cam Ward. Titans
are back Titans are back.

Speaker 2 (53:36):
You know what I'm annoyed by. We got a soccer
game tonight, right, and this dude goes, I'm in, but
I will have to leave it halftime. Why even come
so you stay home?

Speaker 1 (53:45):
Man, I can't do that. You guys got families, the.

Speaker 2 (53:49):
Only reason, only reasons. You're gonna play six minutes. Why
are you gonna drive there for six minutes?

Speaker 1 (53:54):
Dude, sports work when you're in grade school because you
have no responsibilities. Everybody has a responsibilities. I can't believe
you guys are still playing organized athletics at forty years old.
It blows my mind. Okay, well, when I was twenty seven,
I had a friend asked me to go play intermural football,
and I was like, f off, I'm twenty seven years old.

Speaker 2 (54:14):
Okay, thanks man, geez. I was just trying to tell you, man.

Speaker 1 (54:22):
All right, man, hey, when does Kansas play?

Speaker 2 (54:24):
No? Never, Man. We had a meeting with the Valpo
guy that's transferring, but then they said he's off Kansas.
He's didn't make his final three.

Speaker 1 (54:35):
Does Dickinson have any eligibility left?

Speaker 2 (54:39):
No?

Speaker 1 (54:39):
God, no, God don't because I'm saying because I'm saying
that in a perfect world, no, No, In a perfect world,
he hits the portal, goes to Vandy opening night. Justin
just signed a huge residency with physiology electro physiology.

Speaker 2 (54:54):

guy at Great American Ballpark in Cincinnati. I want to
take you me. Justin will get his tickets Vanderbilt when
they when they play when with Dickinson, I love it.

Speaker 2 (55:10):
Gosh. I don't never want to see him play basketball again.

Speaker 1 (55:12):
Ray, I want to see him Manda Man in person.
No I don't.

Speaker 2 (55:15):

tough ending, good season?

Speaker 2 (55:23):
Hey man, throw me those keys. God, you threw them
to nobody. Man, turnover, Man, it doesn't coubt it's stealing
the car when you throw them the keys.

Speaker 1 (55:34):
Hunter, God, you're the ball, the haf There was nobody there.

Speaker 2 (55:42):
The best part is it was a bounce pass, like
it was a bounce past, and so you just watched
it slowly bounce towards mid court and you're going, what
someone both the whistle? Is that why you're just gonna
toss the ball over there, No what an idiot and
I love it.

Speaker 1 (56:00):
M
