Introduction

In this engaging episode of The Bobby Bones Show, hosts Ray and Lunchbox delve into a myriad of topics ranging from personal anecdotes and sports insights to a shocking scandal in a youth basketball league. The conversation is peppered with humor, relatable stories, and thought-provoking discussions, making it a must-listen for fans who enjoy a blend of entertainment and meaningful dialogue.

The “Would You Rather” Dilemma

The episode kicks off with a classic "Would You Rather" scenario posted on their social media:

• Lunchbox [03:17]: “Would you take $1 million guaranteed or flip a coin for $1 billion?”

Ray opts for the guaranteed million, citing the emotional and financial risks associated with potentially losing out on a billion:

• Ray [02:08]: “The pain and suffering and therapy and risk to yourself after losing that opportunity at the billion and the million... I go with the guaranteed million. I'll invest it immediately. S&P 500.”

Lunchbox, on the other hand, leans towards the billion for the thrill and potential life-changing outcome:

• Lunchbox [02:41]: “I think I'm going for the billion... I could be a billionaire.”

Personal Anecdotes and Vacation Plans

The hosts transition into personal stories, reminiscing about their childhood experiences with Motel 6:

• Lunchbox [03:50]: “I used to love that because I would... they say, I'm Tom Beaudet with Motel 6. We'll leave the light on for you.”

They also discuss their upcoming summer vacations, debating destinations like Costa Rica and the challenges of affording luxury:

• Ray [05:00]: “Costa Rica. I'm pushing for it.”
• Ray [05:05]: “There's just no way to spend it... I'm middle class. The heart of the middle class.”

The Cheating Scandal in Youth Basketball

A significant portion of the episode is dedicated to a scandal involving cheating in a youth basketball league:

• Lunchbox [20:25]: “We have had issues with multiple teams playing out of their age groups.”

Ray and Lunchbox express their disbelief and frustration over the lack of proper age verification:

• Lunchbox [24:17]: “It's an honor system.”
• Ray [26:23]: “It's either the coach or the parent, one of them needs to serve some sort of time or community service.”

They debate the responsibility between coaches and parents, emphasizing that the children are innocent:

• Lunchbox [27:43]: “Kids won't lie. You can tell them to lie, but they don't understand.”

The hosts advocate for stricter measures and documentation to prevent such scandals in the future:

• Ray [28:13]: “You have the right in this country to ask for someone to show documentation... it's called discovery.”

Sports Talk: NBA, MLB, and Fantasy Leagues

Transitioning from the serious topic, Ray and Lunchbox dive into various sports discussions:

• Brooklyn Nets Season: They reflect on the Nets' performance and the challenges faced during the season.

• Fantasy Baseball: Lunchbox shares his strategic choices for keepers:

  • Lunchbox [40:35]: “I think three have potential to be MVPs. Small chance it'll happen, but it's not zero.”

• Major League Baseball (MLB): They analyze stadium advantages, particularly altitude's impact on gameplay:

  • Ray [40:22]: “Colorado, a mile high, 5,000ft above sea level. That's why there's so many hits there.”

• NBA Insights: Discussions on team performances, trades, and player statistics keep the conversation lively:

  • Ray [41:33]: “They need Anthony Davis, they need Gafford, they need Lively back.”

Humorous Interludes and Listener Engagement

The hosts intersperse their sports talk with humorous exchanges and listener interactions:

• Demolition Derby Promotion:

  • Lunchbox [46:23]: “Mad Dog Demolition Derby. Come see me next Saturday. Save $5 now and get discount tickets @motorheadevents.com.”

• Listener Feedback:

  • Lunchbox [39:56]: “I got an email from Byron from Wisconsin, thanks. Finally someone else cared about the Mexico Open.”

Closing Remarks and Future Plans

As the episode wraps up, Ray and Lunchbox discuss their weekend plans, balancing personal life with podcast responsibilities:

• Lunchbox [44:37]: “Next Saturday, March 8th, I'm going to be in the Demolition Derby.”
• Ray [47:58]: “I've been doing patio golf, but just having got on the course, it's going to be weird.”

They conclude with optimism, hoping to return with more intriguing topics and stories in future episodes.

[Steph Curry]

Make some noise for the Greatest Shooter of All Time, Steph Curry. We went live from All Star Weekend for a new podcast called Go Greatest of Their Era and we ranked our top five shooters from the 2000s.

[Peja Stojaković]

Peja 5 Dirk Ford.

[Ray]

Peja is a leader.

[Steph Curry]

You won't believe who Steph left off his list.

[Peja Stojaković]

That's so tough. That's why we have these conversations.

[Steph Curry]

That's why we absolutely love it. Listen to Go T E Greatest of Their Era on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.

[Ray]

We're rolling, dude.

[Lunchbox]

I saw a great Would you rather I saw it and I posted it on the Facebook page and I want your answer. Would you take $1 million guaranteed or flip a coin for for a billion?

[Ray]

One million. I don't gamble anymore.

[Lunchbox]

That's it? That's the answer? You don't gamble anymore? Yeah. See you have a 5050 shot at a billion dollars. I think I'm going for the billion.

[Ray]

The pain and suffering and therapy and risk to yourself after losing that opportunity at the billion and the million, when you lose it, that will rip your heart out. More than a girl, more than a sports team, more than a man, more than a death coach, you will not be able to recover from that. And because of that, I go with the guaranteed million. I'll invest it immediately. S&P 500.

[Lunchbox]

I don't know that I would recover from losing the million. But if they said, okay, which one would you do? And I said, I'll take the million. They said, okay, let's flip the coin and see what it would have been. And it comes up. It would have been the billion. Then it's the other side of the coin. You would be like, oh, my gosh. Drive me nuts. How did. Why did I pass up a billion dollars? But that fit. Like, imagine that coin flip. The two seconds it's in the air, maybe a second. I don't even know how long it stays in the air when you flip it. Not very long. And you're like, oh, my God, I could be a billionaire. I could be a billionaire. I could be a billionaire.

[Ray]

Yeah, let's keep it a buck. I've been hearing people say that apparently means keep it real.

[Lunchbox]

Yes.

[Ray]

So I've been looking into hotels and stuff. We're planning vacation this summer.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, I thought you were talking about buying a hotel.

[Ray]

Yeah, man, I could barely pay my mortgage.

[Lunchbox]

I'm like, how the hell are you going to buy a hotel?

[Ray]

Yeah, It's a Motel 6, dude. Down the road. Continental breakfast.

[Lunchbox]

Hey, leave the light on for you. So this is Wayne Beaudet with Motel 6. We'll leave the light on for you.

[Ray]

Come on down. Get yourself some Life Cereal and a muffin on the way out. Make it blueberry.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, I used to love that because I would. Whenever we were trying to find a hotel on a road trip, my parents be like, you guys see anything? Like, as a kid, I was so dumb. I'd be like, dad, we got to look for a Motel 6. Because they'll get. They're going to leave the light on for us. And my dad's like, they don't really leave the light on for you. I'm like, dad, they say it. The commercial, it says, I'm Tom Beaudet with Motel 6. We'll leave the light on for you. And I honest, God, believe they were leaving the light on for us. That's what I thought they were doing. Made me feel like, oh, my gosh, Motel 6 is where I need to be. Where I need to rest my head is Motel 6.

[Ray]

The best is when they say, HBO color TV. That's how you get the truckers.

[Lunchbox]

It used to say that. HBO color tv. Oh, got to pull over there used.

[Ray]

It still says, in my town. The beauty of the country is these small towns around me. They don't change. The cars brand new, the roads newer, the businesses, dude, it. They are still advertising in 1980s people, truckers that are horny real quick about hotels. So I'm researching stuff, tropical destinations for our summer vacation. Do we know the dates? No. So I'm.

[Lunchbox]

Do you know where you're going?

[Ray]

Costa Rica. I'm pushing for it.

[Lunchbox]

I got it. So you're still planning that? Pushing that.

[Ray]

What I've realized is a billion dollars is a monumental amount of money I'm looking at. So I just click on hotels. If I was super rich. They don't really cater to the wealthy. There's a, there's a large gap. If you have a billion dollars, there's just no way to spend it. I mean I'm not even. I'm middle class. The heart of the middle class. And I mean we can afford these hotels. Maybe there's one with a infinity edge pool and a glass patio. That's one small step up from what we're able to afford. The billionaire status, dude, America can't even cater to you. You would have to move to Dubai. There's not enough luxury items in this country to give to you. I'm. How can I be this close as a radio producer to the very best that a hotel has to offer in Costa Rica? And bro, I'm, I'm lower middle class. So your billionaire lifestyle that you would get, you would be afforded this life with the billion. Dude, you're there ain't that great a billion dollar stuff.

[Lunchbox]

So there's nothing in Costa Rica that would be able to satisfy me as my billionaire status is what you're saying at my.

[Ray]

The hotel we're looking at. You're a billionaire. I'm a hundred air. Thousand air.

[Lunchbox]

You're a millionaire because you took the millionaire.

[Ray]

I'm a millionaire. You're a billionaire. You would be staying one room over from us with an infinity edge pool and a glass patio. But guess what? I'd still be smoking in my underwear, drinking my Costa Rican coffee right next to your ass.

[Lunchbox]

Man. That's messed up, Ray. That was deep. That is deep. That's like. I mean that's why I like Las Vegas is all walks of life all sitting at one blackjack table. All stand standing around one craps table. Every different person has a story. And some people don't have any money. And some people are billionaires probably sitting there at that craps table.

[Ray]

But the beauty of Vegas is everybody is living in that moment above their means 100%.

[Lunchbox]

100. Everybody in Las Vegas, bro, is spending money that they shouldn't be spending.

[Ray]

I was taking when me and baser first started dating. Now we're limited. We take 300 a day, which is very smart. I would take entire paychecks. People probably thought I was a millionaire, but I wasn't. I was just taking everything I had to Vegas.

[Lunchbox]

Because you automatically. Because when you go to Vegas, you know you're not going to lose that. So why would you not take your whole paycheck? I am with you. Everybody is living outside their means when they go to Las Vegas. I agree with you 100%. That is such a true story.

[Ray]

And there's. There's rarely the person that is super great with their money going in. And I give Bazer that credit. She puts it in envelopes, and we don't go outside of that envelope for the day so that you're able to have money the entire week. We're the exception to the rule. Most people blow it, load out. Cleaned out. We got to start.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, we got to start the show. Yeah, I just saw that. Would you rather. Last night on X, which was formerly Twitter, and I said, oh, I got to take that. And I put it on the Facebook page. A lot of people were saying they would just take the million. They're not gamblers.

[Ray]

So Arnold went out with Troy, the guy from Australia on Broadway, and got slammered. Absolutely sauteed.

[Lunchbox]

Then they went to Mackers.

[Ray]

Yes.

[Lunchbox]

Bonza. Banzai. Bonza.

[Ray]

And they got Bonza'd.

[Lunchbox]

Bonza'd.

[Ray]

No, wait, it was real Bonza.

[Lunchbox]

It was real Bonza, which is bad.

[Ray]

Oh, and Arnold left me this voicemail. I'm gonna.

[Lunchbox]

Yep.

[Ray]

Let me. Go ahead. Hit it right this one. Hey, it's Arnold. I'm pretty screwed up, man. Can I get a ride? I'm at the corner of first and Jelly Rolls Bar. See you soon, man. And after that, he was hungover for two straight days.

[Lunchbox]

Did you go pick him up?

[Ray]

No, I told him there's a million Ubers and Lyfts. Call somebody else. The what? New phone. Who dis.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, Gotcha. I love that trick. That's a good trick. Yeah. All right, let's start it, man.

[Ray]

Troy was a good guy.

[Lunchbox]

I like that dude. He's on his way to Vegas, though. He's in Vegas now.

[Ray]

And people comment, oh, we love Zach, an effeminate guy in into his feels.

[Lunchbox]

I love Troy also.

[Ray]

And then they love Troy, the Australian guy.

[Lunchbox]

They're like, you need to have more guests like this. And I'm like, so all this effort that we put into thinking about what we should do on the pod, and we just bring Some random people off the streets, and that's the best pods that you guys like. Got it.

[Ray]

Next, we bring a homeless guy in. Oh, man, I've never heard something so great in my truck. That was. That was the best thing I've ever heard.

[Lunchbox]

Guys, that was fantastic.

[Ray]

He's been living off of free tips for the past two years. And that fascinated you?

[Lunchbox]

Interesting. All right, Ray.

[Ray]

It's a great idea.

[Lunchbox]

It is a good idea.

[Ray]

We're gonna do it live. We are the 1, 2, 3.

[Lunchbox]

So, loser. What up, everybody? I am Lunchbox. I know the most about sports, so I'll give you the sports facts, my sports opinions, because I'm pretty much a sports genius, y'all.

[Ray]

It's Szit. I'm from the north. I'm an alpha male. I met a Broadway girl one day back in 2014. We got engaged, married. Now we live north of town in the country. 2 acres. Her father built our home, pay a mortgage, 2.5 kids someday, not today or tomorrow, and I'll die of a heart attack when I'm 72. Over to you.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, how did I sleep last night? Thanks for asking, Kocher. How did you sleep last night? Absolutely terrible, let me tell you. I mean, it might have been every 20 to 25 minutes, I was woken up by. And no, it wasn't my wife. Baby box was having. I don't know what kind of dream, if he's going through growing pains, but he was moaning and thrashing around in his bed every 20 minutes. No, it wasn't a cry. It was. And I'd go down. I'd go to his room. Hey, bud. Bud, you okay? You okay? You okay? You're okay. It's okay. It's okay. It's okay. He. Quiet down. Put his blanket back on him, Go back to my room, go to sleep. And I'm Michael. It was all night long.

[Ray]

Why don't you sleep in the room with him?

[Lunchbox]

Well, it doesn't matter if I'm sleeping with him. What difference does it make?

[Ray]

He'll go to sleep.

[Lunchbox]

He was asleep the whole time, Ray.

[Ray]

He was thrashing, noisy, with sleepy eyes.

[Lunchbox]

No, no, he never woke up. I texted my wife this morning, and I said, hey, ask him how he slept last night. And he said, quote, how did you.

[Ray]

Sleep last night, Fox?

[Lunchbox]

I slept great. He texted her, oh, my wife asked him when he got up, and they were eating breakfast, like, oh, did you get a good night's sleep? Yeah, good night's sleep, Mom. She's like, you weren't having bad dreams? No, no bad dreams. But he has been complaining that his knee or leg hurts. And so I'm wondering if it's like growing pains. And so when he lays down, maybe the pain intensifies.

[Ray]

Oh, he's a future Wemby.

[Lunchbox]

I don't know. I don't know what's wrong. But it was all night long, every 20 to 25 minutes. I mean, I would fall asleep, get into that like. And I could fall asleep quick. And I get into that dream and all of a sudden I. What in the. I mean it was all. I mean, I probably got up 10 times in the middle of the night.

[Ray]

Overreaction. Probably two. What do you mean 10 times? And went to his room?

[Lunchbox]

Yes.

[Ray]

That's hard to believe. So you're telling me, say what time did you go to bed at?

[Lunchbox]

I went to bed at 9:30.

[Ray]

9:30. And you get up at 4, probably for the big show. So in that amount of time you got up every single hour? One hour. You got up twice. It went into his room?

[Lunchbox]

Yes. I'm telling you, it felt like it was every 20 to 25 minutes.

[Ray]

I mean, I've had cats that have been violently ill, vomiting and diarrhea and I don't know if I got up.

[Lunchbox]

10 times, dude, I. I hear him loudly.

[Ray]

The night my cat died, I don't think I got up 10 times.

[Lunchbox]

Well, yeah, because you die peacefully sometimes.

[Ray]

No, he. He was very ill and I still. To get up 10 times. I just feel that's an over exaggeration. Monday.

[Lunchbox]

It's not Friday, Ray. It's not an over exaggeration. I literally was like, man, I got. I felt like I got no sleep, dude.

[Ray]

And you're. It sounds if he's doing the night tremors, that's baser 101. Oh. Oh my gosh, you scared me. As you're getting into bed. What? And I just had to go to bed. Bathroom. Hi, it's me. I'm not a robber. I don't have a ski mask on. And then they'll be. Oh, oh, sorry, my. Sorry. I was dreaming. Such as hard dream. I'm so sorry. The thrashing has got to stop. Lay your head on a pillow, guys. You're safe in your bed. Let's not be jumpy. Good night, America. We all wake up. It's very simple.

[Lunchbox]

I don't understand it. I assumed it was a bad dream.

[Ray]

Oh, did you just get in the bed? Yes, it's me.

[Lunchbox]

It's.

[Ray]

I'm not the cat. Hello? Yep. I'm a human. Human hand. It's me. OK. Sorry. You scared me. No, I'm the Y2K killer.

[Lunchbox]

Surprise my wife first.

[Ray]

Yeah, it's like that every night. Dude. Oh, you scared me. What are you doing? Taking a piss.

[Steph Curry]

Hi.

[Lunchbox]

It's amazing. My wife, the kid moans all night and thrashes. She never hears them. I get up to go pee and I get back out in bed. Does the exact same thing as your wife. How do you hear? Not hear him. But you hear me get up, walk, pee and come back. And you're jumping out of bed. The dude is screaming every 20 minutes. Not screaming, moaning. Oh, my. And I thought, okay, maybe it's because his blanket's coming off. So I put a second blanket on him.

[Ray]

Give him a bigger blankie.

[Lunchbox]

No, it's a big blanket. And so I put it on him. It's Pred's blanket that he got my wife for Christmas in 2023.

[Ray]

That's probably why they won last night. Beat the App. But out of.

[Lunchbox]

They beat the ABS Butt.

[Ray]

Yeah. The Pred. The Preds, the Jets.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, Jets. I thought you said abs.

[Ray]

All in the same division. Except for the Preds.

[Lunchbox]

Got it.

[Ray]

Same division. Preds are in that.

[Lunchbox]

They're in the ABS division.

[Ray]

I think they're in the same division.

[Lunchbox]

Not sure. Not really clear on the hockey divisions, I'll tell you that. I'll be honest with you. I'm not up to date on my hockey divisions.

[Ray]

Are they with the Golden Knights?

[Lunchbox]

Not sure. I think the ABs are with the Golden Knights.

[Ray]

No, the ABs are with Minnesota and the Dallas Stars and the Jets.

[Lunchbox]

That makes sense.

[Ray]

Those are all the same. But I think the Preds are in that one too.

[Lunchbox]

That does make sense.

[Ray]

And then the Golden Knights are in it with the Kings.

[Lunchbox]

The host Sharks.

[Ray]

No, Oilers. They're farther down. The Oilers as well.

[Lunchbox]

But anyway, that was how I slept last night, right? If you want to know. I'm tired, I'm cranky, I need a nap. It was rough. How about yourself, man?

[Ray]

Me? Went to bed at 8. Immediately. Immediately. Woke up at 12:30. So four and a half hours of sleep. Woke up at midnight. Took another 30 minutes sleep. So woke up at midnight 30 and was good to go. Never felt better. But I took an hour and a half nap in the afternoon. Two hours probably.

[Lunchbox]

That's legit. Don't say I didn't get a nap yesterday.

[Ray]

I did. Neighbor. Not neighbor. Old work. Coworker of Bazers. Came over and they were just laughing. Having them a girl's day. And I said, I'm going To bed.

[Lunchbox]

Smart.

[Ray]

I can only have so much estrogen.

[Lunchbox]

That's a good move, man.

[Ray]

So I went to bed and just slept it off.

[Lunchbox]

That's good. Yeah. So you ready to take a break? Yeah, we're going to take a break, dude. And I'm going to tell you what a scandal. Have you ever heard of a scandal? This one's gonna knock your socks off. It's not making espn. I don't know why, but someone needs to be criminally investigated.

[Ray]

You're gonna knock your garments off?

[Lunchbox]

Yes. We'll be right back.

[Steph Curry]

The greatest shooter of all time, Steph Curry. We went live from All Star Weekend for a new podcast called Goat Greatest of Their Era. And we ranked our top five shooters from the 2000s.

[Peja Stojaković]

Peja 5. Dirk Ford.

[Ray]

Peja is elite.

[Steph Curry]

Okay, okay.

[Lunchbox]

I'm mad him.

[Ray]

I left him off my list, but I still like my list.

[Steph Curry]

You won't believe who Steph left off his list.

[Peja Stojaković]

That's so tough. That's why we have these conversations.

[Steph Curry]

Yes, absolutely.

[Peja Stojaković]

Love it.

[Steph Curry]

Steph talked about what separates the truly elite NBA shooters.

[Peja Stojaković]

When you have a scouting report and you're on the list as not just a shooter, but we have specific rules for how we guard you. There's a fear factor that's associated with anytime you're wide open. Like, you might as well just count that and get on back on defense.

[Steph Curry]

Listen to Goat G O T e Greatest of their era on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

[Ray]

Ray, give me my music.

[Lunchbox]

Ray. The Brooklyn Nets. The season has ended. Dude.

[Ray]

Every time you do that, I think the NBA and then I realize it's this stupid butt team. It's your kids team.

[Lunchbox]

Ages 4 to 6 year olds.

[Ray]

Every time I think it's something with Embiid. He doesn't play for him anymore.

[Lunchbox]

I don't even know if he plays anymore.

[Ray]

Who does Harden play for?

[Lunchbox]

Harden plays for the Clippers.

[Ray]

Does Ben Simmons play for him?

[Lunchbox]

No, Ben Simmons plays for the Clippers. No, Ben Simmons plays for the. Who did he go to?

[Ray]

Dinwiddle. He's got to play for the Nets.

[Lunchbox]

Dinwiddle plays for the Lakers. Where did Ben Simmons go? He just got bought out.

[Ray]

Let me see I mean, the dude doesn't play.

[Lunchbox]

No, he does. He plays. He plays for the Cavaliers.

[Ray]

He comes off the bench.

[Lunchbox]

No, he's the Clippers. Clippers. Sorry. I saw Cavaliers picture or something. Yeah, I knew he went to the Clippers. I thought so. So, hey, they reunited. Anyway, so the season is over, man. I think it's all done with. And then.

[Ray]

Hell of a year.

[Lunchbox]

Yep.

[Ray]

That's a song. Hell of a year.

[Lunchbox]

Yep. How many games you guys win? We got two victories, man. First game and last game. Great job, guys. Started off the season hot, finished hot. A little lull in the middle. It happens, you know, the grind of a season, you can't get up for every game. It's hard. It's difficult to put the same energy and effort into every single Saturday.

[Ray]

And the scandal has begun.

[Lunchbox]

Got an email in the inbox from the NBA Junior League.

[Ray]

They emailed the sore losers?

[Lunchbox]

No, they emailed my personal email.

[Ray]

Well, I did the sound effect.

[Lunchbox]

Sorry. Said scores will be updated this week for standings. We have had issues with multiple teams with kids playing out of their age groups.

[Ray]

Sheesh.

[Lunchbox]

Please understand this is against our rules and regulations. And if found out, we will review each situation's case and the game will possibly result as a forfeit.

[Ray]

I'm willing to turn over all footage that I have.

[Lunchbox]

So from that first paragraph, they're going.

[Ray]

To need our podcast for the scores of the games.

[Lunchbox]

I was shocked to learn that there are standings. I didn't know that. And this tells me that we might be moving up the standings.

[Ray]

Jury, if you're listening to this, all we want is a fair trial.

[Lunchbox]

All I am is saying some of these teams that we played and I told you, there is no way. They've been together two weeks.

[Ray]

Sheesh.

[Lunchbox]

There is no way that they are legit. There are kids that are a foot taller.

[Ray]

Sheesh.

[Lunchbox]

And we get an email. We have had issues with multiple teams playing out of their age groups.

[Ray]

Dude, you guys didn't suck.

[Lunchbox]

We weren't as bad as I thought.

[Ray]

Dude. This is actually a pretty big scandal.

[Lunchbox]

This is incredible.

[Ray]

Who does this?

[Lunchbox]

They are four to six years old. Who gives two craps about winning the league?

[Ray]

This is huge.

[Lunchbox]

This isn't just one. It is multiple teams.

[Ray]

Bobby, I've been subpoenaed. I'll be off on Monday.

[Lunchbox]

I can't even understand how. Not just one, but it's more than one. Multiple is more than one. Now you want me to keep finishing? Yeah. Coaches, I first want to thank you for dedicating your time to the Kids, we appreciate appreciate your dedication. Lets make sure we are keeping the kids first at all times.

[Ray]

Wait, the email started. Coaches. Yes, fan of the podcast.

[Lunchbox]

Huge fan. We all want to win but it is about the kids at the end.

[Ray]

Yup.

[Lunchbox]

Not winning the league. Let's do a better job controlling our parents during the game and also playing in the proper age bracket.

[Ray]

All right, now clap.

[Lunchbox]

As I stated in the coaches meeting before the season, your parents react off of you. You are not only leading the kids, but you're setting the tone for your parents as well. With this being said, if you have any issues regarding illegal players, please let me know.

[Ray]

Either they made spelling errors and punctuation things in that email or you just sucked at reading it.

[Lunchbox]

If parents are not under control, it will result in a possible technical foul and the removal of the parent. Thank you. That is the scandal that is rocking the league.

[Ray]

They need to go to the coaches convention.

[Lunchbox]

I know they're big fans, but my question is how did they get found out? Did someone call a birth certificate check on one of the kids during the game?

[Ray]

Whistleblower.

[Lunchbox]

You don't want to be a whistleblower.

[Ray]

You'll get found at the bottom of the cumberland.

[Lunchbox]

That's what happens. It seems like if you, if you look at any whistleblowers in the past, they disappear from this planet.

[Ray]

Let's be real. You said there were kids that were older. You never really pressed charges or furthered it, but you did a complaint on a podcast. Other people probably complained at their workplaces. One person took it a step farther, contacted the committee and said review this. Did your kids submit birth certificates or is it an honor system?

[Lunchbox]

It's an honor system.

[Ray]

The whole investigation is based on an honor system. Not even fraudulent documents.

[Lunchbox]

Now that you say it like I literally. This is how behind the times this league is. I actually had to go to the building and fill out a piece of paper. There was no online registration. So I just went and I wrote my kid's name and I wrote my kid's birthday, I wrote down their address, I wrote who their parents were and I turned it in.

[Ray]

So you would have. Continue. I must interject. Continue. I need to interject in a minute. Go ahead, continue.

[Lunchbox]

That tells me that there is no fact checking of this league and I.

[Ray]

Now realize it is actually your sentence.

[Lunchbox]

I need to interject that next year baby box who will be seven at the time, six can play with the six year olds because guess what, there's no fact check.

[Ray]

Ray, it's a slight ahead. You could make a 7 to 6?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. Oh, my slipped.

[Ray]

You would have never made it. In Saratoga, Wyoming. My mom and dad handled all the birth certificates and stuff. Kids would bring photocopies. It was a huge ordeal. It needs to be the original. Oh, dang. You guys didn't even do that, man. You guys were just writing in pencil or pen.

[Lunchbox]

They gave you the option. Which is amazing now that I think about it. But my whole thing is I don't know what's worse.

[Ray]

Are you really six?

[Lunchbox]

Jeremiah, I don't know what's worse.

[Ray]

Why is your voice deep?

[Lunchbox]

Is the parents that did this, the coaches that allowed it, that allowed them to play, that knew they were over age, that decided they wanted to, you know, cheat the system because they wanted to get the upper hand in four to six year old basketball, or the person that actually pushed the league to investigate it. I don't know which is worse.

[Ray]

Love the investigation. And a kid never tells a lie. You should casually next year. Hey, Johnny from the other team. How you doing, man? Hey, how old are you? It's something easy. A kid will always say their age.

[Lunchbox]

You're 100% right. You want to know how I know that? Because I asked one of them no. When we were kids.

[Ray]

Johnny Appleseed rage. I see a tree, I'll never lie.

[Lunchbox]

My parents were taking, I believe it was my sister to the airport.

[Ray]

Hey, kid, I always say you're two years younger than you actually are. I'm only 64.

[Lunchbox]

She was going to fly somewhere to see my grandma and grandpa. I believe this is how the story went. This is how I remember it in my head. And they told her, hey, you're going to tell them you're six years old. You're going to tell them you're six years old. And we get to the airport, they're like, how old are you? And I believe my brother goes, she's five. But my parents told her to say she's six.

[Ray]

We are now boarding all Southwest flights, all Spirit Airlines and all Delta. You are now free to fly without the country throughout.

[Lunchbox]

It was either it was either my brother that said, oh, she's really five, but my parents said six, or my sister said, my parents told me to tell you I'm six, but I'm really five. And my parents are sitting there going, are you kidding me? Are you kidding me? Luckily they didn't do anything and they let her on the plane. But that's how it goes. Kids won't lie. You can tell them to lie, but they don't understand and they Say, oh no, my age is this, or I'm going here, I'm doing that. They're not good liars.

[Ray]

So the kids are not at fault in this investigation.

[Lunchbox]

I agree with that.

[Ray]

It's either the coach, like the coach.

[Lunchbox]

Is probably out at the playground, he's watching some kid hoop, or the parents and he's like, I need that kid on my 6 year old team so we can win the league.

[Ray]

We've narrowed it down. The coach or the parent, one of them needs to serve some sort of time or community service.

[Lunchbox]

Who's worse though? The person that asked for an investigation or the person that signed them up illegally?

[Ray]

We have the right in this country to ask for someone to show documentation and it's called discovery. Someone is required by law to show their finances. In this case, it is the birth certificates. It is the documentation provided proving a kid's age. There is nothing wrong for asking about that. And this should change now the league to. Whereas you guys bring those documents to every game.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, I agree. And so I'll show you mine.

[Ray]

Now show me yours.

[Lunchbox]

Not only do I think this makes a difference, I don't know how to check the standings, but it tells me we moved up the standings. You know why? Because about 30 minutes after that email went out, I got an email from.

[Ray]

The league to our sore loser's email.

[Lunchbox]

No, my personal said, coach, Congratulations on the great season, Coach. You've now qualified for the All Star tournament. Oh, no, we qualified for the postseason. I don't know who we're gonna play.

[Ray]

No, sorry, I meant yes.

[Lunchbox]

What do you mean?

[Ray]

No, no, no, I'm sorry, wrong sound effect.

[Lunchbox]

Are you saying no because you think we're gonna get crushed?

[Ray]

I just had thought it was over.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, you're saying no because you don't want to hear any more Brooklyn Net stories?

[Ray]

Not that, not that, not that at all that. I said the wrong sound effect meant to hit clapping.

[Lunchbox]

Dude.

[Ray]

You guys are playing more games.

[Lunchbox]

We have the end of year All Star tournament. I guess we moved up the standings. We have qualified for the tournament.

[Ray]

The All Star tournament, dude.

[Lunchbox]

So then I'm excited as I'll get out and I text the group, your.

[Ray]

Kids got to make it.

[Lunchbox]

And I said, hey, good news, guys. We had the team party last Saturday, but let's put that champagne on ice. We got a tournament to win. And everybody's like, what? What? And I'm like, apparently we moved up the standings. We qualified for the end of the season postseason tournament.

[Ray]

Yeah, those parents had already figured out their drinking Weekends, they said, what? Another Saturday, I was planning to do beers with the boys and some golf.

[Lunchbox]

And those are the reactions I got. Oh, we'll be out of town that weekend.

[Ray]

They're already going to Barbados.

[Lunchbox]

We have a. We have a birthday party that weekend.

[Ray]

Yeah, we got money to burn. We're heading to Trinibag in today. Go.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, she has a Girl Scout retreat that weekend.

[Ray]

Yeah, I'm heading to Vegas. It's been about six months.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, that's the weekend my. My parents are coming to town. We won't be able to make it.

[Ray]

Oh, yeah, I'm doing mannies and patties will be out.

[Lunchbox]

So after all that, I got six responses saying they wouldn't be able to make it. That would take us down to four players. I had to email the league and say, thanks, but no thanks. Our season is over. We will not be in the tournament.

[Ray]

Yeah, you got to know it's happening. The parents are going to make their plans. You can't fault them for that. I mean, respected the integrity of the season. The minute was over, guys. Those tickets were booked, passports were updated. They got their real IDs, and they're heading to Turks and Caicos. They're heading to Sri Lanka. You know what I'm saying? A lot of these Nashville people got some money to burn, and it's getting burnt.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. So the Brooklyn Nets season, the scandal that broke, that moved us to the top. But the season's still over. We'll take a break.

[Steph Curry]

Make some noise for the greatest shooter of all time, Steph Curry. We went live from All Star Weekend for a new podcast called Go Greatest of Their Era. And we ranked our top five shooters from the 2000s.

[Peja Stojaković]

PAJA 5. Dirk Ford.

[Ray]

PAJA is a.

[Steph Curry]

Okay, okay.

[Lunchbox]

I'm mad him.

[Ray]

I left him off my list, but I still like my list.

[Steph Curry]

You won't believe who Steph left off his list.

[Peja Stojaković]

That's so tough. That's why we have these conversations.

[Steph Curry]

Yes, absolutely.

[Peja Stojaković]

Love it.

[Steph Curry]

Steph talked about what separates the truly elite NBA shooters.

[Peja Stojaković]

When you have a scouting report and you're on the list as not just a shooter, but we have specific rules for how we guard you. There's a fear factor that's associated with anytime you're wide open. Like you might as well just count that and get back on defense.

[Steph Curry]

Listen to go G O T e greatest of their era on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.

[Ray]

Dude, I don't know if that's real or not, but that would be. It's not even worth what's the weekend. We don't need to do work. How funny would be to get it actually as a news thing where they.

[Lunchbox]

Do a report that'd be awesome. Like local news stations.

[Ray]

If it's a slow news day, we.

[Lunchbox]

Call the local news back. Listen, guys, they're interviewing kids.

[Ray]

Yeah, I'm only four years old, but I saw some of those kids looked older than that.

[Lunchbox]

I know, I know. You guys are always looking for investigative journalism. You got to get to bottom of this age is 4 to 6 year old basketball. There's a huge scandal going on in the Nashville basketball league.

[Ray]

Yeah, I was going, yeah, I got a golden retriever in a jeep.

[Lunchbox]

Yep.

[Ray]

Yeah, I got my kids there in a private school.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Ray]

They play in lunchbox. A team.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Ray]

I was aware of some kids being older again. I was staring at the MILFs a lot, but the times that I were watching the court seemed as though kids were fudging. Anyways, back to the MILFs. I mean the manufacturing plant.

[Lunchbox]

Yep. Yeah.

[Ray]

Thank you. Jim. Jim and accounting.

[Lunchbox]

What have you seen here, sir? Well, I mean, it was a little suspicious when I saw that number 12, he was dunking and I thought, man, that's pretty crazy that a six year old can dunk. I mean, and he is six foot two and I don't understand how he could be six. But yeah, I mean, I just trust the parents, you know what I mean? I just told my kid, hey, some kids are bigger than other. Turns out He's 21.

[Ray]

Oh, yeah, yeah. Anyway, I can help out. Yes. I was always a little suspicious of her age. I was thinking I was, you know, I was she 38. You know, you got those milkers, all the kids. I'm sorry, I thought you talking about Therese to the mom. Dude, it would be a heck of a report.

[Lunchbox]

It would be. And I mean so funny. And like the parent, like there's parents, sir. So I see here your 10 year old was playing with the 6 year olds. I got no comment. Talk to my lawyer. Talk to my lawyer. Get the camera out of my face.

[Ray]

He's not hiding anything. Oh, we got family issues going on with that guy.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, man. So, yeah, that was it. That was my excitement for the week. And then the sadness, though, is Gene Hackman died, right? And I had to go back to Hoosiers.

[Ray]

Coach, I can't do another investigation. Bed.

[Lunchbox]

No. One of the greatest movies, sports movies of all time.

[Ray]

Pistol Pete's better than it, but I'll put Hoosiers at 2.

[Lunchbox]

You've told me about Pistol Pete, and I need to watch it. Maybe I'll watch it this weekend. But it made me. It reminded me a little bit of, you know, three weeks ago when we had a game, the Brooklyn Nets, that is. And we were on the court, and at halftime, we're switching directions and we're like, yeah. And Jackie on my team goes, we're finally shooting on that hoop. And I'm like, yeah. Why? She goes, because this hoops higher.

[Ray]

Sheesh.

[Lunchbox]

And I had to do the tape measure. I had to do the Gene Hackman dude, two balls. I went down there and I said, walk with me, Jackie. And I said, I'm gonna hold my hand up. See where I touch it on the net? She goes, yeah. I said, now let's walk down to that other end guy, math. And I said, watch this. And I raised my hand up to touch the net. And she goes, it touches the same spot. I said, yes, Jackie. They may look different, but these hoops going one direction or the other, they are the exact same height. I said, there's a movie called Hoosiers. It teaches you all about it. I did not know three weeks later that Gene Hackman would be dead. I used Hoosiers to teach these kids that it doesn't matter which direction you're going because the hoops are the exact same.

[Ray]

There's a hoop moment in Pistol Pete. The dad's on the ladder. His son, Pistol, future Pistol. At the time, he was just Pete shooting baskets. And his dad said, hey, son, you want to believe? You believe? Yeah, dad shooting that basket. You think two of those basket, dad. It's so hard to get in the hoop. It's such a small hoop, Daddy sounded like Tom Brady. It's so hard, dad, to get in the hoop. His dad's gotten a ladder. He said, think that ball's hard to get in there? You think two balls would go in that hoop? No, dad, only one. Probably give Me, that other ball over there, dribbling it. Nine o'clock at night. Hey, Press. The neighbors are calling. Keep it down out there. All right, Sarah, I'll get in there. It's a great moment. Great merit. The neighbors are calling. Well, they're up awfully late, aren't they? Hilarious scene. He grabs two balls and he says, son on the ladder. He's standing up there 10ft, and he says, sometimes what?

[Lunchbox]

Go ahead.

[Ray]

You just got to believe. And he takes both balls, and at the same time, they go in the hoop. And the son blew his mind, and he showed him that it isn't that small after all. Two balls, you wouldn't think they could stop. They kind of buckle a little bit.

[Lunchbox]

They both go in at the same time.

[Ray]

Two balls can go in at the same time. May have been an optical illusion. Maybe it's only like 11 3/4, and he kind of twisted it. But for the movie's sake, in Disney and Hollywood, two balls went at the same time.

[Lunchbox]

That's beautiful.

[Ray]

Pivotal moment of the game. And the kid, at that moment, he decided to believe. Ray, I should have told the Nets that I need. Dude, you just steal stuff from movies.

[Lunchbox]

Just go in with the quotes from the movies.

[Ray]

You did with the.

[Lunchbox]

I literally did. It was halftime, dude. And I. I walked them down the court.

[Ray]

What is that? Parents in the crowd of, brother, what is this guy? Watch Hoosiers last night.

[Lunchbox]

The parents are going, why is he doing that? And the other coach is like, why is he on our side of the court? Like, what's he doing touching the net?

[Ray]

If you guys don't know these scenes, this isn't funny.

[Lunchbox]

But it's funny. If you want to go look him up on YouTube. Because here's the great part is Pistol Pete is the logo. So he's on our shirts, he's on the jerseys. And my kids have asked me who that is, and I tell them, that's Pete Maravich, man. And they're like, does he still play? I'm like, no, no, he's. He's old now. He might. I don't even know if he's alive, to be honest with you. I have no idea. And now I need to show them Pistol Pete the movie and be like, guys, that's the guy on your shirt. That is amazing.

[Ray]

I thought you were gonna say another sentence. I took a drink.

[Lunchbox]

No, I saw you take a drink.

[Ray]

Dude. I need Troy back in here, man. We need that third.

[Lunchbox]

No, I got. I got an email, though. Oh, I got an email that. I mean, it made me feel so good about myself. Lunchbox. Loved the recap on Monday's pod about the Mexico Open. I had put $20 on Brian Campbell plus 1400 going into the weekend. I was unable to watch any golf on Sunday. I enjoyed your play by play. Keep up. The great pods coming. Been listening since the first podcast. Byron from Wisconsin, thanks. Finally someone else cared about the Mexico Open.

[Ray]

Baseball. Are you preparing more for March Madness? Are you playing fantasy baseball?

[Lunchbox]

I am playing fantasy baseball.

[Ray]

See, I'm not, but I'm do. I'm a numbers guy. So statistically sizzling. I'm just trying to really get deep into it, you know. Another what's the stadium at Altitude.

[Lunchbox]

Denver.

[Ray]

What's the second most stadium at altitude?

[Lunchbox]

I don't know.

[Ray]

Kaufman Stadium. St. Louis is almost 1,000ft above sea level.

[Lunchbox]

Kaufman is in Kansas City. Right. That's the Royals. I've been to Kaufman Stadium as a kid, but they've redone it since then.

[Ray]

It's easier to hit it Altitude. Colorado, a mile high, 5,000ft above sea level. That's why there's so many hits there. The most hits in Major League baseball history happened at Coors Field. Always in the top three. Kaufman Stadium. You wouldn't think it. It's at altitude.

[Lunchbox]

I had no idea.

[Ray]

Bobby Witt, he's so 382. Where did he hit 382? At home at Kaufman Stadium. Because of the altitude this year, though, he's not going to have Tommy Fam at number one. He's at number two. I wonder, are they going to have Bobby Witt hit one? Is that going to change how many hits he got last year? Because he never went a game in a row not getting a hit every game. He didn't get a hit. He got a hit the next day. Bobby Witt could be the greatest fantasy player statistically season in the history of the sport. Does he go number one with Tommy Pham now playing for somebody else?

[Lunchbox]

Who does Tommy Pham play for?

[Ray]

He went somewhere east, you know, I.

[Lunchbox]

Mean, I have no idea. Tommy Pham has been bouncing around. But I do want to apologize to the Golden State warriors because when they traded for Jimmy Butler, I said, oh, what difference does it make? They suck. They're terrible. Hey, they're, they're kind of winning a lot of games now. They're. They're hot. They're hot.

[Ray]

They're up there. They're top four.

[Lunchbox]

The Golden State. No, Golden State warriors, but they, they've creeped up to like number seven. Ooh, but they Are. I mean, Lakers are hot too.

[Ray]

They're all west though. They're all going to beat each other up.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Ray]

And then Celtics just cruise to the final.

[Lunchbox]

The west is wide open, man. Wide open. Wide open.

[Ray]

That's scary.

[Lunchbox]

Wide.

[Ray]

The Lakers ain't going to get that far.

[Lunchbox]

No, they're not. But it's wide open.

[Ray]

You saying that with Nuggets.

[Lunchbox]

Nuggets, with Gold, Thunder, Thunder, Golden State, Dallas. When Anthony Davis comes back, right now they're on the struggle bus. But they're winning games. They're not doing great. But they need Anthony Davis, they need Gafford, they need Lively back. They need all those guys down low and they're going to be dirty. But yeah, I've been watching college basketball, NBA. I'm not prepared for baseball. Cousin Andrew did hit me up the other day and said, I think our three keepers are going to be. Where did it go? Hold on, hold on, hold on, Philip. Here we go. He said, I think I already know it, but I'm going to go with Seeger, Trout and Harper for the keepers.

[Ray]

Is Trout starting?

[Lunchbox]

The experts are really down on Trout and they really high on Jackson. Trio who we have, they have them ranked as the 25 best player, but I'd rather go with our guys. I think three have potential to be MVPs. Small chance it'll happen, but it's not zero. So that's who our keepers are this year.

[Ray]

I still stand by The Dodgers win 117 games, lineup is stacked and the pitching staff doesn't even have showy to start off the season. Top to bottom, they're great.

[Lunchbox]

They're really good.

[Ray]

Colorado Rockies last year to statistically season the worst pitching staff in baseball. This year they did no work on it. It's the exact same guys. It's Freeland, Feltner, Senzavala, the Gomber.

[Lunchbox]

Oh God. And Gomber.

[Ray]

Two of the guys still there? Yeah, two of the guys were out of the league last year. Senzavala and another dude. And they're just pitching. Throw them into the staff, man. Why not?

[Lunchbox]

Let's go. What are you doing this weekend, man? Anything good?

[Ray]

No plans. We were going to maybe do the escape Room. So fun with Justin. But the time kept getting thrown around so much. Me and Bazer said brunch in the country. My earphones went out inside baseball, literally. And so we're doing a small brunch in the country. We got a couple things we got to do around the house. Honeydews.

[Lunchbox]

Nice.

[Ray]

There's a chandelier. I said Baser, we got not a chandelier. There's an entrance light that we got to put up. And I said, baser, let me handle it. And she goes, I'm going to call my dad. He's coming over.

[Lunchbox]

Good, good. I'm glad he's going to get that done. Yeah, we got a. We got a birthday party tomorrow. Then we have meet the baseball team, me, the Mets. Now we're the Padres. We got Tatis Profar. Profar.

[Ray]

There's Profar with him still? No, he's somewhere else.

[Lunchbox]

I don't know. I haven't paid attention. I.

[Ray]

They trade him around, bro.

[Lunchbox]

They move. It's quick.

[Ray]

Padres, the ones we know of for.

[Lunchbox]

Tatis, you got Fernando Bales, Monachado Machado.

[Ray]

Yep.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, that's who we are this year. And it was a dilemma because I'm a Cubs fan and my. The. The other coach, his wife is a Cardinals fan. And so he didn't want to ask for the Cubs or he didn't want to ask for the Cardinals because he didn't want to offend either of us. So he just got stuck with the Padres.

[Ray]

Cubs are be bad this year.

[Lunchbox]

No, they're not. They're going to be good. Don't worry about it. We got Craig Counsel on the bench. Second year is when he turns it around. Now that I think he's playing, he's the manager, man, so. Yeah. All right, man. Have a great weekend, everybody. We'll see on Monday. Hopefully we'll be here. I don't know. Something good will happen. We'll come up with something to talk about because Brooklyn Nets basketball's over. I got nothing else on the schedule, so. All right.

[Ray]

The worst Major League Baseball stadium to hit in and for any sort of offense is.

[Lunchbox]

It's a big one. It's Oakland. Oh, but they're gone. They're not there anymore. They're in Sacramento, huh?

[Ray]

Giants a little bit.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. Wind blowing in. Yeah, it's just off the bay with Covey Cove.

[Ray]

Statistically. Susan, you got a lot of wind.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. Hey, Survivor started this week. Hope you're caught up, man.

[Ray]

Are we golfing? Are you golfing this weekend at all?

[Lunchbox]

No, probably not this weekend, man. I got kids. I have three kids.

[Ray]

I've been doing patio golf, but just having got on the course, it's going to be weird. I'm not going to have my sea legs yet.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, it's hard to get out when on the weekends. It's hard to go play weekend golf when you got three kids, man.

[Ray]

I told you about those tee times. I bet they're gone.

[Lunchbox]

No, get it right now. Bet it. But you can get it. Go ahead, look at it. What is it? I got it. I'll pull it up. Citizen Raymundo. Golf.

[Ray]

Oh, still there. Go.

[Lunchbox]

All right, we got to go. Go. Just go. Go, go, go, go, go, go, go. Ray, you got to turn off the recording culture. I know you're worried about golf, but I'm. Listen, next Saturday, March 8th, I'm going to be in the Demolition Derby. Mad Dog Demolition Derby. And in Shelbyville, Tennessee, Tennessee. Cooper Steel Arena. Dude, I'm going to drive in a race and wreck. I don't know.

[Ray]

And you got to take the kids in that.

[Lunchbox]

I don't. I know my kids are going to watch me wreck. They're going to watch your dad. They're going to be. They're going to be going. Go, Nitro Ned. Go, Nitro Ned. That's who I'm racing. So if you. If you want to fade, save $5 and get discount tickets. Motorhead Events.com Demolition Derby Saturday, March 8 Shelbyville, Tennessee Cooper Steel Arena.

[Ray]
