The World cup is underway and it's been incredible. On our podcast, the Away End with Daniel Alarcon and John Green, we're talking about the games that have delighted us, the teams that have inspired us, what we're loving and what surprised us all through the lens of being massive fans of the world's most beautiful game. Daniel this tournament has been magical so far.
Coach
There's so much to love and I can hardly believe the drama that the
Mangesha Teegular
group stage brought us.
Coach
And now it's time for us to

I'm Mangesha Teegular and I'm back with a new season of my podcast, Skyline Drive. This time I talked to scientists, biopunks, curmudgeons, Blue zoners, super seniors, and Goa's top cryotherapy lab to try to understand this obsession with L forever and what it means for all of us. And I get into a bit of trouble along the way.
Lunchbox
I'd say probably start bone smashing. That doesn't work.
Podcast Announcer
Make it look more defined.
Coach
They say it works.
Lunchbox
I don't know.

Coach
We are the Sore Losers podcast. We are from Nashville, Tennessee, some from Texas, some from Michigan, some from Wyoming. It's just me and Lunchbox. We're a spinoff podcast from the Bobby Bone show, the big show heard all over America. We're just a fun gag that does it on the side. Over to you, coach.
Lunchbox
We gotta probably start the show.
Coach
Oh, we're gonna do it live.
Lunchbox
Yeah. Cause people like it when you do the intro right in the beginning.
Coach
We are exactly 169 days away from the Sore Losers convention in Nashville, Tennessee. The following year. Year, year. Three years after that will be the Super Bowl. But next year will be the Sore Losers convention in Nashville, Tennessee, presented by Freeland Chevrolet.
Lunchbox
Can I say that I was driving by the stadium the other day and I was doing a stadium sighting, and I thought that hotel that built on that little sliver of land, absolute jackpot. Because, I mean, it was a fine hotel, you know, I mean, whatever. I don't know how many people travel to Titans games, but I guess it's always full Super Bowl. For that little rinky dink hotel, they're gonna be able to charge $5,000 a night because they are literally steps from the Super Bowl.
Coach
Let's start the pod. But I want to get into my feelings on business development. Love it, Ray. Hell of a tease. We're gonna do it live. We are the 1, 2, 3. Sore losers.
Lunchbox
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'.
Coach
All. It's Sizzin from the north. Alpha male, originally from Wyoming. I've started to integrate that into my character. Surprisingly enough, I'm from where Yellowstone was made, that world famous show that Laney Wilson's in and some other cowboys.
Mangesha Teegular
But yeah.
Coach
So me and Basil live in the country right outside of Nashville. It takes 20 minutes when I'm speeding. Didn't say that out loud. We got two acres, we got two kids at Vanderbilt. Justin, please swing down and check them out. Right now. They're defrosting. And coach, over to you, but back over to me because I just wanted to say my opinion about those two hotels.
Lunchbox
Go ahead.
Coach
So there's two of them, and this isn't an ad, but La Quinta. And then the drift, I believe, bro. By 2030, they're wiped out, though taxes will be so much, they're going to charge them 5 million in taxes a year. The city does that to push businesses out wow.
Lunchbox
You think that's my bet?
Coach
I'll bet you. I'll bet you my property.
Lunchbox
That is a very.
Coach
I will bet you.01% of my acreage that either the Drift or La Quinta will be gone by 2030.
Lunchbox
That is so interesting, because I saw those as I was driving on the highway, and I was like, those dudes, whoever. Like, because the Drift, it used to be just like. I don't know what it was called, but I've never seen a more disgusting hotel in my life.
Coach
The curtains were yellow.
Lunchbox
The curtains were yellow. You could see how yellow they were from the highway. Like, you didn't even have to go in the hotel. I don't know who ever stayed there. It had to be by the hour. And the fact that they were there for so long, Unbelievable.
Coach
But now it's a designer hotel, dude.
Lunchbox
And then I was like, oh, it sold. They're going to demolish it. They'll rebuild something. No, no, no, no, no. They didn't demolish it. They decided to just revamp it. And they put a fence around it, and they. Piece by piece, they took it apart, left the frame up, and redid it. And it looks fantastic.
Coach
Yeah, they're going to redo all that around there. It's going to be amazing. I think it'll be done before 2030. But, yeah, the La Quinta, me and Bazer went there. We did a spring training game or whatever it is. Preseason didn't even make it to the start of the game. It was so dang hot. We were baking in the sun. We went to the Lekina to wait for our Uber. The place just can't fit the. It's infrastructurally speaking. Absolutely not. It was busy for a preseason NFL game. I had like, five dudes in front of me to get a beer. That Uber took 45 minutes. That's going to be a massive hotel with Uber lines and limos and strip poles and hookers and prostitutes. Right now it can't house all that.
Lunchbox
I am. Just because it's just a little sliver of land between the highway and the frontage road. And I mean, I'm like, how could they ever build something on there? And they start building, and they squeezed a hotel into that little parcel of land, and now they're forward thinking of being right next to the stadium. Unbelievable.
Coach
Yeah. But I think they get pushed out. That's the. Because that's what happened to the Acme guy on Broadway. He hasn't been a partner with the convention Yet. But he, they just, they can increase taxes. They increase his taxes from 300,000 to 600,000. And he said, I don't even make that much in a year to make that worth it.
Lunchbox
I don't know if I believe that. They don't make that. I don't know. But I look at those bars on Broadway and I think maybe Acme is struggling because they're on the very end, they're the last bar. And so not as people, not as many people make it that far down, if you know what I mean. Like you're getting stuck at the Aldean's, the Jelly Roll, the Post Loans, the Miranda Lambert's, I don't know the name of it. Costa Grovos.
Coach
You're not understanding this. And it's Calasa Rosa.
Lunchbox
Thank you.
Coach
You're not understanding this.
Lunchbox
I understand the taxes because you know what a hotel does then they just raise the room rate.
Coach
Right? But what I'm saying is me and Scuba passed all these farmers who sold. Who sold. It was sad. Oh, they put. No, they still have their property.
Lunchbox
But even worse, put a hotel in the property.
Coach
Even worse. There was on the way to Chicago, in Indiana, hundreds and hundreds of these on their property. Hundreds. Oh, solar wind turbines. It was disgusting. They all sold. They must get paid millions a year. And it is disgusting. You look out your window and all they see is wind turbines in front window on every side of their property. They must get hundreds of thousands. But they had to sell. Just like Acme. He's gonna have to sell. He'll make for that building. I mean crap, he'll probably make 10 million. But they make the taxes so much that you have to sell. So sure, Drift is gonna make 2 million and Lakina is gonna make 5 million. But they're pushing them out with the taxes. They'll still get a purse. A kitty.
Lunchbox
I, I want a kitty. The wind turbines are interesting.
Coach
It is disgusting.
Lunchbox
I would love to know how much they make. Because here's what's crazy. My sister in law works for a wind energy company. So she is the one that goes to these people and tries to get them to put wind turbines on their property.
Coach
I do believe it is disgusting. Their views are gone. You want to ruin somebody's view, put bird crap in it. Okay, not going to really ruin the view. You want to put ruin their view, put a skyscraper. It doesn't totally ruin their view. Hundreds of wind turbines on their property. Disgusting.
Lunchbox
They sold.
Coach
They sold grandpa's land.
Lunchbox
They sold.
Coach
And there was still the Silo there was still the ranch house with wind turbines in every way that you look.
Lunchbox
There was no farm.
Coach
The farm was still there.
Lunchbox
They were still operating the farm. They just got to cut around the wind turbines.
Coach
Yeah, I mean, the turbine shoots up because they're huge.
Lunchbox
Right? Those turbines are massive.
Mangesha Teegular
Massive.
Coach
But they only maybe take up 20 by 20. And so it's just a corner of the property here, corner of the property over there. But all it takes is about five for it to be unsightly.
Lunchbox
Yeah, you used to be able to sit on your rocking chair on the front porch with your, your, your beer in your hand and just kind of look out and see everything. And now you just see a spinning circle over. It's like the wheel of death on your computer in your yard.
Coach
And, you know, they're sitting on the porch. Ah, old Granddaddy, he wouldn't have been too proud of us selling. I was for the money, though. We ended up making about a million dollars a year. You look out over there. Granddaddy owned everything here. It used to just be crops and corn and soybeans and rice and cabbage. Now Granddaddy, he could see these wind turbines. Granddaddy be rolling over in his grave.
Lunchbox
Yeah. You know, Granddaddy always said, a farmer is a farmer till he dies. Well, I didn't want to be a farmer till I died. And these guys came a knocking and they offered me some money to put these little statues up. And, you know, I'm pretty happy that I got those statues up because I made a lot of money.
Coach
I tell you what, I didn't know we were going to be the generation, but Granddaddy said there's a special place in hell for the landowners that sell. And I tell you what. Oh, Leroy, we sold partially. We still got the properties. But if Granddaddy saw this right now, he'd be rolling over in his grave.
Lunchbox
Now, speaking of, like, the super bowl and the financial, you say this, we
Coach
gotta start getting ready for it. We only got four years.
Lunchbox
My question is, should I rent out my house that weekend and go out of town?
Coach
It's going to be a brothel. People that rent out houses are swinging
Lunchbox
like super bowl week. Would I make money renting out my house?
Coach
Coach, you know how far you live from the stadium?
Lunchbox
Two miles.
Coach
I mean, I might as well run out my house. I believe it's the people that benefit right next to it, really. I mean, it's only holds 50,000. It's not like it's more seating, it's less seating. They did it for the video and for the rich to come in. Think a rich is going to rent out a middle of America's guy's house? They're renting out a condo, dude. They're going staying in your kids bedroom.
Lunchbox
And so you're telling me that they're going to be getting condos downtown and set like. Like BJ's place?
Coach
Yeah, he could definitely rent his.
Lunchbox
BJ is raised buddy that lives downtown.
Coach
Yeah, he would. So I mean he's two blocks from the pedestrian bridge which leads to the stadium. He could easily, I would say the week leading up, I mean he could make 20,000 that.
Lunchbox
Is he thinking about it?
Coach
I mean who thinks four years in the future BJ is thinking about his drink on Friday night?
Lunchbox
Bro, you have to. If you're not thinking about the future, when the future gets here, you're too late.
Coach
Oh I bet, I bet there might hoa. Might slap the wrist because when we go check in, security's tighter than it is here.
Lunchbox
Really?
Coach
Oh yeah. We'll have BJ with us. Sometimes we can't get in or like he lives here. Like thank God you came down to get us. What was your room number again? BJ, you've lived here 10 years. How does this guy not have your face, your fingerprints and everything else on there?
Lunchbox
So where are the parties gonna be? Like are they gonna be bars?
Coach
The bar we're never gonna be able to get in. It's gonna be 5,000 or not. It's just like New Year's eve. Every bar 200 to get into, man.
Lunchbox
You don't think they'll be offering us free tickets?
Coach
This is going to affect the convention.
Lunchbox
That's what I was wondering.
Coach
Oh my gosh. We can't have a convention in 2030.
Lunchbox
I thought about this. I mean tickets on sale today for the convention in 2027.
Coach
What an advertising.
Lunchbox
In 2030 there will no beacon, no convention because we won't have anywhere place to have it. Because they're going to be so locked in on the super bowl at work,
Coach
knocking at the door. Mister, mister.
Lunchbox
Hey, do you have time to have the sore losers can mention?
Ryan Weiss
No.
Lunchbox
We got the super bowl, man. Get out of here.
Coach
We got America coming to town.
Lunchbox
We got super bowl xxx. Ivz. Oh, coming to town. What do you guys got? Oh, we got a 75 to 90 of our closest friends from the podcast. You do what? A podcast? No, man. Do you guys play in the NFL? No. Then get out of here.
Coach
We got 90,000 people coming to town without advertising. Thanks. We're good.
Lunchbox
Oh, you're part of Shaq's fun house. No, no, no, no, no. We were just wondering if we could stay at your house for the convention.
Coach
What we can probably do is the places that don't like football that like football. Maybe we partner with Castle Rosa. Places that play soccer, they're not into football.
Lunchbox
Yeah, I think everybody's going to be into football that weekend.
Coach
Dude, that Mexican place by my place, they never play American sports. It's always a football game from Premier League Soccer. I'm like, guys, do you guys. Have you ever seen the basketball that dribbles or the baseball that hits or the football that throws? Every time I'm in there, it's a soccer game, and it's getting played from, like, Turkey or India. I'm like, guys, there's American sports. Like, there's a soccer game in America. They don't even play that.
Lunchbox
Yeah, it's gonna be tough, man. I. I'm just excited. I. I want to be in the atmosphere. Like, I want to feel what the super bowl feels like, but I feel like it's going to be just so ridiculously busy everywhere. It's going to suck.
Coach
Well, we were here for the NFL draft. Both an NFL product.
Lunchbox
Yeah. I didn't even go downtown with that. That was my fault. You guys went without me. That was really weird.
Coach
It was a little bit of buzz. It was still doable, though. I don't want you to. You're blowing yourself too much right now. CMA Fest, we've. We can withstand that. We can withstand the NFL draft, Stanley cup playoffs.
Lunchbox
Also. Do you realize how big that stadium is? It dwarfs the old stadium because all
Coach
those video boards and concourses in the
Lunchbox
surrounding area, I mean, the outside of it is just. I mean, it looks. That other one looks so small now.
Coach
Well, it's an atrium. It's going to be the end of live music, open air. It's closed off. It's an atrium.
Lunchbox
Yeah, it's. They were raising the roof. They had the cranes and they had the roof going up.
Coach
Oh, really?
Lunchbox
Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's what it was.
Coach
Citizen stadium.
Lunchbox
Stadium sightings. Also, my question is, how are they going to get rid of the other stadium?
Coach
See, it's a great question. If they get rid of the other stadium, there'll be no more open air live music.
Lunchbox
Oh, they're getting rid of it. Like, it's gone. They're. CMA Fest will move indoors into the stadium.
Coach
CMA Fest can afford the new stadium.
Lunchbox
Every. Dude, that's what I told my wife,
Coach
who's going to want to go to stadium atrium, we drive.
Lunchbox
We were driving by and she goes, man, I bet it's gonna look awesome inside. I said, well, this is the only view you're gonna get for about 10 years. She said, what do you mean? I said, it's gonna be so expensive to get on the inside. You can kick rocks. We ain't going in it.
Coach
And it's gonna be a lot of season ticket holders. Because my esthetician, she paid 20,000, I want to say a year. That's might be high end. It might have been less than that. Bless. But they said it's like 20,000. But I don't even think that's for. I think that's the right to own the seats. And then maybe you still have to pay whichever particular seat you want for the home games. She said, the new one is 100,000. Every person in there is rich.
Lunchbox
My question is, so for that 100,000, is it sort of like a country club, you pay it one time, or do you have to pay it every year?
Coach
Every year.
Lunchbox
Every year.
Coach
Yeah, it has to be. I gotta ask her. I literally just saw her.
Lunchbox
Then you say you own those seats. So when you're done, you. You don't want to renew your season tickets. You get to go in there with a freaking screwdriver and take those seats out because you own them. And they put new seats in, they
Coach
put cushioning on them, and those are your seats. And then you. It's your choice. You can sell the tickets per game, but. And they said, we need your answer because they're in such high demand. They're like, okay, cool, we'll move on. But you're. She was grandfathered in. You have the option to pay a hundred thousand for a season.
Lunchbox
Oh, and that counts as the tickets or.
Coach
No, see, I might be the tickets. That would make sense that it'd be the tickets.
Lunchbox
Still didn't make sense. A hundred thousand dollars to go watch eight football games.
Coach
No, it makes more like. I agree with you. I don't know specifically tickets included or not. But the other one was 20.
Lunchbox
Does that include like every event that goes on at the stadium, or is it only football games? Like if I'm paying. What is it called, the license fee.
Coach
It's only football. But they can.
Lunchbox
My God, they can. My God.
Theo Henderson
Yeah.
Lunchbox
You pay $100,000 to go to eight football games. Yeah, get the.
Coach
But you own those seats.
Lunchbox
You don't own anything. Because once you don't pay that hundred thousand they take those seats back from you.
Coach
So those people are paying 15,000 a seat a game. That makes no sense.
Lunchbox
That's what I'm saying.
Coach
I gotta actually talk to her.
Lunchbox
You need to. I need to find out someone that owns season tickets somewhere. Explain to me how it works. I mean, I have season tickets at the National SC and they cost me $40 a game. That's it.
Coach
Okay, maybe she paid 20,000 for like four years. And they still have to then purchase a package to those seats. This gives you the right to purchase those seats. So you pay a hundred thousand for maybe five years or something. I gotta ask her. I got.
Lunchbox
Please text her email or whatever you got to do because I need to know. But go to sore losers.com right now. Buy your tickets. Coaches Convention 6 coming up in January. We're going to take a break. I mean, I didn't know that's where we're going to go. We'll take a break. We'll be right back. What do I. Why did I bust.

Lunchbox
I'm hoping people are still listening because I accidentally buzzed before we went to commercial because I was so excited about tickets being on sale right now that I couldn't, you know, contain my excitement. I wanted to go look at the sales. So we're still here. And I got a serious question, man. So we go to a park, right? Has a playground, has some green grass, has a little baseball diamond, has trees to climb, slides to go down, stairs to go up, monkey bars to go across.
Coach
You've named everything at a park except for a unhoused person.
Lunchbox
And there are a few homeless people that do like to congregate around the bus stop because there is a bus stop right by the park, right by the playground. So they do sometimes sit on the picnic tables, things like that. But there is something that is there and has been there for a month, maybe two months, and they're there every single day.
Coach
Prostitute.
Lunchbox
No. Maybe it's an undercover prostitute. And I don't realize it, but it is. A table set up, has a little, you know, cover on the table. So you don't. It looks like a professional table. And they have a tent that goes up and covers and gives you shade. And it says on top, Georgia peaches.
Coach
Nice. Get some.
Lunchbox
They are expensive. They are like $14 a bag. And you get like eight peaches. But my question is, how are they there from 8am to until 5pm every single day? How do they make enough money standing there selling Georgia peaches to be there that long?
Coach
I didn't even think that was your angle. I thought you were about to say, how can they get them from Georgia?
Lunchbox
No, no.
Coach
If they're always in Tennessee?
Lunchbox
I've seen the big old box truck pull up and deliver the peaches. So I get it. They're fresh from the farm in Georgia, you know, Isn't there some songs that have Georgia peaches in it? I think Zach Brown has one. I don't know where the peaches grow.
Coach
Bones will know. I'll ask him.
Lunchbox
I don't know. Anyway, I've seen the box truck pull up and reload them with peaches.
Coach
Give me a song with.
Lunchbox
He left. Oh, sorry. But really, how do they. I drive by it and I'm like, how are they there every day? You can't sell that many peaches.
Coach
Is that a good location?
Lunchbox
Oh, it's a great location.
Coach
Then what Are you questioning, dude, how
Lunchbox
many peaches do you have to sell to make a living to be out there for two months straight? Like, I get it. You sell a lot of peaches. One day, a Monday, the same group of people is probably driving by on a Tuesday because it's the same thoroughfare to your work. So do you think someone on Monday sees it? And it's like, I'm going to get some on Tuesday. So they get some on Tuesday. So the people that have driven by on Monday and Tuesday, do you think there's a lot of them that are like, oh, Wednesday, I'm going to get peaches? Like, the cycle of the peaches. I can't imagine that many people buy peaches.
Coach
They need to drive around and hit different spots. But also, the peach isn't the best fruit.
Lunchbox
Ooh, what is the best fruit?
Coach
Cherry.
Lunchbox
Ooh. See, cherry's annoying because it has a little seed in the middle.
Coach
They're all citrusy. I mean, an orange, I guess, but peaches. I'll have a peach on my ice cream once a summer if I'm getting peach. Actually, Baszer made homemade ice cream, and it was peach and it slapped.
Lunchbox
That's what I'm saying. You. You sleep. I think you sleep on the peaches.
Coach
What's the address?
Lunchbox
I'll give it to you. But peaches are great. I love, let me tell you, mango. Oh, my God, that's to die for.
Coach
But see, I don't know what you're questioning about it. I think they're making decent enough money. They should move to different spots. Obviously, if they don't have a brick and mortar, probably not by the book like the ones you see by the road. Are they exactly going by the book?
Lunchbox
Probably not.
Coach
So I don't think it's shut down. And also those businesses have to suffer. Well, pardon me for not allowing you to answer, but they have to not do well now that people don't carry cash.
Lunchbox
Oh, I guarantee you they Venmo. I guarantee you can Venmo them.
Coach
Well, then if you do Venmo, then it's tracked. Then you definitely got to be by the book.
Lunchbox
So they might. They might be by the book because it's legit. Like, it has a logo and everything. And the box truck that pulls up, it says Georgia Peaches on it and everything. I am just shocked at how many peaches are moving every day. For them to stand there for eight hours a day selling peaches instead of questioning because they come in a little brown paper sack and they staple it.
Advertisement Voice
Boom.
Coach
Instead of wondering about the peach trade, how would you make it better? Or would you just not even do that business?
Lunchbox
No, no, I'm not saying I know how to make it better or I wouldn't do it. I'm just my thinking. I would never think I could stand in a parking lot every day for two months and I'm going to make mad cash on peaches.
Coach
My dude does it with mums. That's the ones that I bought and then resold to Amy from the big show. I upsold her by 50%, made 100 and actually still have those Aria chips she paid me with. But they, they do well, but it's seasonal. Peaches are also seasonal. And the thing with peaches is they're just such a mess to eat. So I'm not trying to reinvent the wheel, but if you really wanted to have a successful peach business in Nashville, you got to involve Broadway somehow. And you got to make them more edible. You have to make them easier to eat. You almost need to bring the ice cream you're giving people on Broadway. Ice cream with peaches. Nobody wants to walk around with this huge old nectar you're trying to suck down and you're trying to go in a bar, but at the same time you're trying to suck off a peach.
Lunchbox
That's why I don't think Broadway is the location.
Coach
It is. That's the most people. Foot traffic, my friend. What are you trying to get? A four year old that's got two quarters. Hey, mom, can I get a peach? I don't want that kind of demo. I want the drunks. I want the rich southern kids, the SEC kids up here with daddy's dollar. Or maybe a girl here. I'm looking at the school. Oh, what a beautiful peach ice cream. That's my demo. The wealth. I'm not trying to get some damn kid.
Lunchbox
See, the playground is a perfect spot. Because you know what happens when you're at the playground? It doesn't matter if you've been there for five minutes or you've been there for an hour. You know what happens all the time. Dad, did you bring a snack? I'm hungry. Did you bring a snack? I'm so hungry. It's like, what the hell are we talking about?
Coach
Here, eat some berries from this tree.
Lunchbox
Like when we were kids, did we have a snack every five minutes? No one carried a snack with them.
Coach
Are these berries poisonous?
Lunchbox
My parents didn't bring a snack. They didn't bring a water bottle. My God, kids now every day. Oh, I'M so thirsty. Like, we'll be home in five minutes. I don't know if I can make it. Shut up.
Coach
Where I come from in Wyoming, there's no. There were no playgrounds. We ne. If we went. Really, if we went to the big city, there would be a playground, and it would be so cool. So, yeah, I guess the excitement. We just never really thought about snacks. So I couldn't really break it down to you if I'm guessing my father didn't have snacks. We would have to wait to the next meal. And maybe my mom had one bottle of water that got warm within 10 minutes. So that's probably what we had.
Lunchbox
Probably Wyoming didn't have playgrounds because there's not enough people, Right?
Coach
And there's. It's just.
Lunchbox
And so you just have nature.
Coach
Dude, Wyoming sucks. All these people that watch Yellowstone and love it. There's no stores. There's no malls. There's nothing there. Nobody dresses well. There's nothing but sagebrush. There's no trees. There's no pavement. It's all dirt roads.
Lunchbox
Really.
Coach
Wyoming blows. So, yeah, we didn't have parks. So when we went to Denver, when we went to Fort Collins, went to the big city, sure, we'd go there, but my dad would always be like, kids, be careful. There's probably been a murder. And we're like, what do you mean, dad? Vicki, I'm serious. Keep them away from the slides and around the monkey bars. So he would go to a meeting, and then we would, like, sit on one swing set so we don't get murdered. Because my dad was afraid of the big city.
Lunchbox
There was probably a murder.
Coach
I mean, in Denver. That my dad never went to the city. So whenever we went to the city, he was always terrified of crime.
Lunchbox
Wow.
Coach
This is the safest park. I'm going to drop you guys off right here. I'm going to go to this meeting. And so then we would just sit in one corner of one park, and every person that walked by we'd think was going to murder us.
Lunchbox
I think I now understand where you get it from.
Coach
Yeah.
Lunchbox
Like, this is a look into why you are so wound up tight.
Coach
My dad doesn't drive into the city now. He's never been. He came to Nashville one time, and I took a picture with him inside the studio. That was his one time in Nashville.
Lunchbox
So what if he rode in your car? Would he come to the station? Or does he. Does he always have to drive?
Coach
No, he doesn't. He now prefers us to drive in the city.
Lunchbox
Okay.
Coach
Yeah, he used to be Mr. Always Drive. But even Tristan, he didn't take him to the airport because he didn't want to drive in the city. He ended up going 30 miles around the city. And when they went on their road trip and so Tristan had to take an Uber to the airport, my dad wasn't going to take him. I was like, hey, guys, the easiest option wouldn't have been me because I was at work. I would have had to, like, make Tristan sleep on the couch and take
Lunchbox
him at 4am and this is Boomer, guys. I don't know who Tristan is, but I think his name is Boomer. That's how we refer to him. So changing his name, like eight years down the road really confuses people.
Coach
So I said, bazer, let's get him in an Uber. Which we ended up doing. Very expensive.
Lunchbox
I was going to say from your house, it might as well be as a plane ticket.
Coach
But then I thought the next day, the obvious, easiest answer to that was, when dad and mom leave at 8:00am Instead, why not move up their departure at 6:00am and they just swing by the airport and then kind of swing around the city and go back on their way. But he would never do that around into a city, especially with morning traffic.
Lunchbox
That would be a nightmare.
Coach
It was an hour difference and 10 miles in one direction. That was the obvious option. But not with my dad. With my dad, it was everybody wakes up. The one Uber canceled, they had to order another one. And then my dad was like, I knew this is gonna happen. I knew it. These Ubers just cancel. Well, dad, it wouldn't have happened if you guys would have just taken him to the airport. Yes, you'll see the skyscrapers. Yes, you'll go through the city, but trust me, they do a great job with roads now and directing traffic, and it keeps moving. They do a really good job with cities now that it's not like Wyoming.
Lunchbox
They have pavement. You're not just going to be on a dirt road. But also an obvious option. I know the Uber was, you know, expensive. One canceled, which they really do early in the morning. If you ever get one. It's a 50, 50 shot if they're going to show up.
Coach
Or in Charleston, two of them will show up at the same time and do a stare down and debate over who's your Uber? Oh, obviously the guy who has the license plate that's in my hand. What do you mean you're not. I'm not your Uber. I don't know what I mean. It's 4am and I'm hungover. Leave two Ubers parked in the middle of the street at the Same time
Lunchbox
at 4:00am Never heard this one.
Coach
I mean, it's Twilight Zone.
Lunchbox
How does that happen?
Coach
I don't know. So he got like double booked, but we had the one guy's license plate. So he's just sitting out there and it's a, a duel in the middle of the parking lot. Charleston, South Carolina, hung over with the Sunday scaries. I don't know who's my Uber?
Lunchbox
Him.
Coach
I mean, get out of the road.
Lunchbox
See, I was thinking, I would have thought that they just followed that other Uber. Like they saw that Uber going and they just go and hope you'll get in their car. Like, you know what I mean? Like they see the Uber, little light up on the dashboard.
Coach
No, it wasn't a crime. They're honest citizens, good guys, especially airport runs early in the morning. You know, they're clean, you know, they're responsible people. The one that canceled on us, he definitely just got too drunk the night before and he was hungover and he's like, oscar that.
Lunchbox
Yeah, but the other obvious one, you know, not the Uber, not your parents.

Huh?
Lunchbox
Just if there was someone else that lived at your house that has a vehicle.
Coach
Baser.
Lunchbox
Baser.
Coach
She had to work.
Lunchbox
She couldn't just go real quick and come back.
Coach
She cooks at 6am Now. She couldn't.
Lunchbox
She couldn't say, hey guys, I'm going to be an hour late. I have to take my nephew to the airport.
Coach
She's got less time off than us.
Lunchbox
She couldn't have told her boss, hey, is it okay if I start at 7:30 today instead of 6? I have to take my nephew to the airport.
Coach
But then that push. No, because of the time change. She deals with people that are going back, so she has to start then. They don't give a crap if you work late. They need you at that time.
Lunchbox
Where does she. Are her people in New York?
Coach
I don't really know if it's Eastern or. All I know is when the day closes, there's stuff that has to be turned in at like 4. So the hard out is 4 every day. They don't give a crap if you work till 6 because it doesn't matter. The work earlier because they need you at by 4. Everything has to be turned in. Oh, so yeah, it's one of those.
Lunchbox
Okay, well, I just thought the peaches was crazy. You don't think it's crazy? You say peaches suck. Peaches are really Good. They make mango, pineapple, kiwi. You ever eat kiwi?
Coach
Wait, they had that there?
Lunchbox
No, I'm just naming the top because you said, that's not even a top. Fruit.
Coach
And I mean, if you want to name other success, unsuccessful businesses, I mean, the guy on the corner with a can of change, I mean, that's unsuccessful. I mean, like, that's not a business. Have you seen these food trucks that roll up and they all charge $20 for them?
Lunchbox
Oh, my God.
Coach
Like, what. What has happened to food trucks? I'm talking a $2 pork missile. And that's all you need. Now. You can get a gyro, you can get a fountain cake. You can get a corny dog. You can get a cotton candy at all of its $20 a pop.
Lunchbox
It used to be that was the cheap option. You go to a trailer park, get some cheap food, that's good. Now it's like a gourmet meal. Like, you're sitting down at a restaurant, it's designer, and all you're doing is standing there sucking an exhaust while you eat your food. And they're charging you 20 bucks a piece.
Coach
And it's all cooked in the same batter.
Theo Henderson
Wow.
Coach
This fries with cheese. Tastes like corn dog culture.
Lunchbox
We went to movies in the park, and there was one that had Mexican food. Burritos, tacos. I was like, I'm gonna get that.
Mangesha Teegular
Sorry.
Lunchbox
And I order the kids something. I order me something. You know how long it took me to get my food? 48 minutes. 48 minutes.
Coach
Don't knock the lobster one, though.
Lunchbox
Oh, that one. Brother's main lobster.
Coach
It came by the west side one time.
Lunchbox
That's Brothers. A black with red writing.
Coach
It was about 20 bucks a pop.
Lunchbox
That was damn worth it, let me tell you. You want to know where they're from? They're from up north on the Eastern Sea. They were on Shark Tank, and they had one food truck at the time, maybe two. And Barbara Corcoran said, I'm going to invest in you guys. And they've made, like, over a hundred million dollars.
Coach
They slapped. I may have got one for the next day at work. It was that good and that worth the splurge in a truck. I was getting lobster landlocked, and it was awesome.
Lunchbox
Yeah, that's crazy, because it. She said when she ate it on that show, she's like, this is the best. This is so delicious.
Coach
I called Baser the next. Not the next day. We moved into the country. I saw the damn truck in the country. I said, hey, hey, seriously, what do you want for lunch? I'm going to go over there right now.
Advertisement Voice
I'm a go.
Coach
Wasn't open. It was just like parked there in the country. It was like getting work done.
Lunchbox
You know what's funny on the truck is I've never had it. I've seen the truck so many times and I'm like, is it worth it?
Coach
Oh, yeah. But especially because it's. It got delivered to us at the west side. But I mean, convenience. You're not going and sitting in a two hour line.
Lunchbox
Correct.
Coach
You're not, you're. It's not. I mean, it's small portions, but I can taste it right now.
Lunchbox
That good lobster roll. Okay. Brother's main lobster. Next time I see it, I'm going to buy it. We'll take a break. We'll be right back.
Coach
Do you have something right now?
Lunchbox
You need something?
Coach
I wanted to brag about my nap situation.
Lunchbox
Go ahead, man.
Coach
So usually when I come to work I work out, but I've had this tennis elbow, so I was asked for that. There's no workout. I can really do a tennis elbow. So I take a nap, Take an hour nap in my chair. Okay.
Lunchbox
In your chair?
Coach
Yeah, just chill my. That's, that's. This is me bragging about how tired I am.
Lunchbox
Hold on, hold on. You don't just sleep on the couch right out there for whatever reason.
Coach
I like just chilling in the chair and sleeping.
Lunchbox
Explain to me how you, you lean your head back or do you put your head down on the desk?
Coach
Not down on the desk. Sometimes I'll just chill like this and sometimes I'll lean it back because you got a little hood as a pillow. Sometimes I'll lean back or sometimes I'll just chill like this. And I got my heater that blows on my face.
Lunchbox
When you're lean back, does your head drop down a lot?
Coach
No, I have the perfect angle. I now know to where I can do it where it won't do that.
Lunchbox
So I do that all the time. When I sit on the couch, I
Coach
have the angle down.
Lunchbox
I'm trying to watch a kid show and I'm like, oh my God, this is so awful. And I'll. My head will jerk all the time.
Coach
Oh, that's me. Every night, Baza. Friday night she tries to get me to watch one of her movies. I last about 10 minutes. The. The sleep is an hour and it was epic. So then I get up and I have to do some programming. Okay, got the programming down. I have another hour gap where I can Take a nap.
Lunchbox
Oh, no.
Coach
Because I had already eaten earlier. So I'm all full. So I knock out one hour nap, then I knock out another hour nap.
Lunchbox
Stop.
Coach
Okay, so there's two hour naps so far. I've knocked out at work. Then the show starts. Sometimes when songs play, I can squeeze in another little nap.
Lunchbox
I put.
Coach
This is an all time record. I put my head down this time on my arm on the. Literally almost touching the computer.
Lunchbox
That's dangerous.
Coach
And during the songs for 20 minutes, the pre show songs for 20 minutes, I got in more sleep. I slept 2 hours and 20 minutes while at work. I mean, that's not an all time record. I don't know what is.
Lunchbox
That is impressive.
Coach
I was trying to shield myself from bones and try and squeeze in another 20. But he could see and he'd just be like, hey, whoa, whoa, what do we do?
Lunchbox
Let me wake up in there.
Coach
Hey, hey.
Lunchbox
A big glass window. Hey, wake up. Two hours, 20 minutes, man.
Coach
Put that in the hall of fame.
Lunchbox
That's pretty good.
Coach
Give me a Marconi.
Lunchbox
That, that, that deserves a well rounded applause. It deserves a statue out in front of this building. I mean, it deserves a lot.
Coach
And now I feel great. And I'm contemplating do I ever need to work out again. I'm married. I'm middle America, I'm middle aged. Who the crap cares? What if I just come here and bust 2 hours and 20 minutes worth of napping every day?
Lunchbox
If you were going to do that, why wouldn't you just stay in your house and sleep for 2 hours and 20 minutes longer and then come to work? That seems like the logical thing.
Coach
Good point.
Lunchbox
That seems like what you should do.
Coach
Because then I would realize, I wouldn't realize that the truck they got me
Lunchbox
from Freeland Chevrolet tickets on sale now.
Coach
Sore losers.com also presenting sponsor, they got me too big of a truck. It doesn't fit in our parking garage.
Lunchbox
No.
Coach
So I had to take the antenna off. But I only realized that because I had enough time. I wasn't in a rush. If I was in a rush, Clay, I look at him like, that's not gonna fit. Take the antenna off. It fits perfect.
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Coach
So it allows you to observe stuff when you get ahead of it and you go early to places.
Lunchbox
Yeah. It's like Scuba's truck. Like when he drives in a parking garage, if you're ever with him. It makes me almost. It makes me flinch every time because I'm like, oh my God, we're hit the roof. Oh my God, we're going to hit the roof. And I close my eyes.
Coach
How does he do it in this one?
Lunchbox
I don't know.
Coach
There's no way that the C71 is more jacked up than his.
Lunchbox
It has to be 2, 3 inches short of hitting the roof. But when you're not used to being in a vehicle that tall and you're in a parking garage, I mean, I wince every time.
Coach
Yeah. You got to realize that dad learned that the hard way. Remember going to the big city? My dad always is a truck guy.
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Coach
He the. They always have a yellow bar.
Lunchbox
Oh, they do to.
Coach
So it lets you know. And you don't know it, but it's really not made of, like, anything heavy. They don't want to damage your vehicle.
Lunchbox
Oh, it's just like pipe.
Coach
The one my dad hit was like, lighter. It was almost foam.
Lunchbox
Wow.
Coach
So I. I don't know. I don't want to mind blow you all the way, but the one my dad hit, he pulls into the city. We'd never been to the city. Dad drills the top, and I'm like, dad, your truck. He didn't know these parking garages are only for SUVs and cars. Drills the top of his truck. He couldn't even get in there. We're like, dad, what the heck you doing your dually, dude, you can't pull that in an airport parking garage.
Lunchbox
That's funny because I always see those signs, like, on bridges. It's like only 12ft, 3 inches. I'm like, is there really a vehicle that big? But I guess some semis are that tall that they can't fit under there.
Coach
When you think about it, all our 18 wheelers, none of them get to go to fast food. They always have to find parking lots
Lunchbox
that work for them into the restaurant.
Coach
Basically, they're eating at Walmart and Flying J. There's no way they're going to wrap around this McDonald's. How are they going to get this McDonald's?
Lunchbox
That's a great question. They're not.
Coach
They're not.
Lunchbox
And they can't park anywhere close to the McDonald's unless they know they can't park at the gas station that can't fit a truck.
Coach
See, they can fake like they're delivering, but I think a cop would get them.
Lunchbox
No, they just turn on their hazards. I'm telling you what, it's amazing, like right downstairs at the grocery store how many people just park in the damn road midday. Midday. They just throw on their flashers midday in the road. And it's like, oh, it's all good. Like, how is that legal?
Coach
I'll leave work and be behind one. All right, I'm in the right lane, getting ready to go, right. Oh, great. It's another guy with his hazards on. He's not going right. He's sitting there to go get groceries and leaves his car because he's an Uber delivery driver.
Lunchbox
So frustrating.
Coach
How is that the cops aren't busting that dude?
Lunchbox
There's. And it's not just one vehicle. There's two, three, or there's ones that part the. The. The driveway and the driveway traffic is back into the road. It's like, guys, what are we doing?
Coach
Yeah, that was aggressive. When they put the Whole Foods and a pretty condo complex on Broadway, they almost should have had those. The entrance to the garage on a side.
Lunchbox
Yeah, they shouldn't have it right there in the middle.
Coach
Yeah.
Lunchbox
Like, it's so stupid. And the people park because they're all. What do you call them? Delivery. They're the ones getting groceries and then delivering into people's houses. Instacart or whatever it is. And they sit, they park in the road, and we allow it. You go to any restaurant and they all just put their hazards on to run in and get the meal that they're picking up to deliver to their person. It's like, no, no, that shouldn't be legal. So, you know, I'm taking a page out of the book. When I go to pick up food, I just put my hazards on. Now, even if I'm going in there to order, take it to go, I'm putting my hazards on. Park right there on the curb. Why not? Everybody else does it.
Coach
And also, we like to always say, oh, we don't understand architecture. Can we admit that this was an architectural fail here at our building? The garages, how. They both are right next to each other. So the residential as well as the business pull out at the exact same time as each other.
Lunchbox
The ramps are literally side by side separated by a concrete wall. So then you get to the end. Oh, there's a car there. Oh, they're.
Coach
They're lucky. It's going to change. This road will get busier when they build more stuff.
Lunchbox
Trying to build that hotel right behind us. Yeah.
Coach
What I'm telling. That road is going to get busier, and it's going to be a cluster. We're not going to leave work for 30 minutes. All because of the architectural fail. They should have had them on different sides of the building.
Lunchbox
Yeah. Because there's. It's Only one lane each way, and so it gets backed up already.
Coach
So if a guy's going left and you're going right, it's a gridlock.
Lunchbox
Oh, hey. Oh, you're. Oh, hey.
Coach
I'm trying to go let.
Lunchbox
I'm going right. You go first. All right. Oh, Oh, I thought you said I go first. Sorry.
Coach
It's a million dollar rent a month or a year or whatever, or for a lease.
Theo Henderson
And.
Coach
And we're. They're having to roll down their windows telling us which way they're going.
Lunchbox
Yeah. Then you ever see the person in the garage has a golf cart? There's a golf cart parked in the parking lot.
Coach
It's one of the front people. They. They drive around and at night, and every time they act like they've never seen me before. They act like I'm busting into cars. I'm like, it's just me.
Theo Henderson
Yup. Yup.
Coach
For the last 365 days. Yup. It's the same guy.
Lunchbox
Yep.
Theo Henderson
Yep.
Coach
Same exact time. I swear to God, I come at the exact same time every morning. Yeah, he's looking in. Yep. It's just me, man. I mean, he has to be half asleep because every time he's shocked by me at 12:30.
Lunchbox
That makes sense. I was like, who lives here and would drive around the city in a golf cart? I was like, that seems so ridiculous. Like, hey, I'm gonna go pick up some food, jump in my golf cart when I live in a condo downtown. Like, you can't drive it on the highway, so you can't really go that far. Now you made me make sense of it.
Coach
Do you want deeper? This dude friends with baser. I'll just say my friend. It's easier for the story. So this dude I know, my friend, he lives on the east side.
Lunchbox
Got it.
Coach
You know what a side by side is?
Lunchbox
Yeah, it's a motorcycle with a little cart.
Coach
Right now it's. It's a four wheeler golf cart looking type thing. But it goes faster. It can go 50, 60.
Lunchbox
Okay.
Coach
He has a side by side and he drives it from the east side to downtown all the time.
Lunchbox
But if it goes that fast, it's like a car.
Coach
But I mean, it's open air. I guess it's just. All right. I'm taking my life in my own hands. Yeah.
Lunchbox
And I would look it up, but I'm not allowed to Google.
Coach
Yeah.
Lunchbox
So I can't really tell you what a side by side. Is it a. Is it a mo. Is it a motorcycle or a car?
Coach
It's a four wheeler with. But it's enclosed a little bit. And it's a golf cart looking but enclosed with bigger tires.
Lunchbox
Huh.
Coach
They have them all the everywhere up north.
Lunchbox
Well, I'm sorry, I'm not from up north. Maybe, Justin, if you're listening, you could send me a picture. I don't know. I don't go up north. I'm sorry.
Coach
But I'm wondering, is it legal? I guess he's got to have license plates. You can just ride a side by side.
Lunchbox
But you can ride a golf cart
Coach
on the streets with license plates?
Lunchbox
Yes.
Coach
And I think they have to go a certain amount miles per hour. I mean, in those communities, is it legal or is it just, hey, you live in Florida, you're older, drive your golf cart in these streets.
Lunchbox
I think it's legal because there's a dude that went to the daycare a couple years ago, he purchased a golf cart and he would drive it to pick up his kids from daycare.
Coach
On the road.
Lunchbox
On the road. And he had a newborn and at the time he had a two year old and a four year old and the battery died. And so he had to walk the kids home because his wife was out of town.
Coach
They make apps for that.
Lunchbox
And I was like, wow. He goes, yeah, dude, it's crazy. It just died on me. I'm like, oh. And he goes, yeah. So I had a kid. All right, kids, we gotta walk the last mile. We had to go walk home a mile and charge the battery. The charmed life. But okay, look, guys, we're out of here. Have a happy Wednesday. I don't know much else, man. Anything else you want to say?
Coach
I think we're trying to do a podcast with Boomer.
Lunchbox
Yeah, I think you're going to do one on Friday.
Coach
But I realized, what if Boomer doesn't like to talk?
Lunchbox
Then you're on your own.
Coach
And you're going to be able to post it.
Lunchbox
All you got to do is email it to me, Ray, I'm going to Puerto Rico. All you do is email it to me. Just like you do any other pod. Say, hey, Boomer and I did a pod and boom. Like that. I mean, is Muff coming with him?
Coach
No, just Boom.
Lunchbox
Just Boomer.
Coach
People got jobs, man. Just Boomer. He's the only one on summer break right now. Him and my parents, they're retired.
Lunchbox
Yeah. And I mean, he's about to go to college. When does he report for duty?
Coach
Fall.
Lunchbox
Okay. So he doesn't have to go early for baseball.
Coach
Fall is his Sentencing? No, because they're still playing baseball.
Lunchbox
Oh, really?
Coach
Yeah, he's on another team.
Lunchbox
Oh.
Coach
And played summer ball.
Lunchbox
Oh, I didn't know.
Coach
And I'm just blown away by the whole process. Like, what if you start to suck?
Lunchbox
The.
Coach
The. The college they committed to him, you know?
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Coach
What if all of a sudden, you just suck?
Lunchbox
Well, they're only committed to you for one year.
Coach
Okay.
Lunchbox
I believe we always see these people sign with these schools, like, oh, my God, they got a scholarship. But I do believe I might be wrong. I was not a, you know, athlete that signed a scholarship. So I'm pretty sure it's deceiving and that you're really only signing for one year. And they can just tell you, I know you're no longer on scholarship whenever they want.
Coach
These are all valid questions because what if there was a kid that just said, hey, I don't feel like playing summer ball? My coach will never know. I'm just gonna be lazy all summer. Eat, sleep in every day. And then he reports for college and he's 20 pounds heavier, and he sucks. Like, there has to be a kid that's done that, has to. Like, the coaches are just trusting they're gonna play summer ball and get a
Lunchbox
job, like, be motivated. Once you sign that scholarship, it's sort of like someone that signs a big contract to the NBA or Major League Baseball or the NFL. NFL is not guaranteed, but NBA is guaranteed. Usually they just stop working out because I already got paid. What do you do? Cut me? Because then you owe me all that money.
Coach
Zion.
Lunchbox
Zion. All right, guys. Have a great Wednesday.
Coach
That was a good one, as you like to say. All over the place, but that was a good one.
Lunchbox
That was good, man. Didn't even get to all the stuff I was going to say, but sore losers.com tickets on sale, man. Listen. Open bar, happy hour, live pod. Watch party. Watch party on Sunday. That's what you're guaranteed with that ticket. There's payment plans. You can pay per week, you can pay per month, per day. You can pay it all up front. You buy it in July, it's cheaper. August 1st, prices go up. Soar. Losers dot com. We want to see you. Coaches convention six.
Coach
Somebody that's copying us with live pods. Oh, I'll tell you off air.
Lunchbox
All right, tell me, am I going to be mad freaking Kristen Calvillari? No.
Coach
She's doing a live pod with the Cubs.

This episode of "The Sore Losers," a spinoff podcast from The Bobby Bones Show, features Lunchbox and Coach (Ray) in a classic, meandering conversation that touches on Nashville’s changing urban landscape, Super Bowl preparations, quirky local observations, and their trademark comic banter. Amid stories about hotel redevelopment, skyrocketing taxes, wind turbines on farmland, and the business of selling Georgia peaches, the hosts also discuss the logistics of their upcoming Sore Losers Convention 6 and the economics of owning Titans season tickets. Their discussion is peppered with the humor and authenticity listeners expect, providing a relatable slice of Southern city life.
Hotel and Real Estate Speculation (03:02–07:11)
Super Bowl Hype & Housing (11:44–14:43)
Coach on Nashville growth:
"By 2030, they're wiped out, though. Taxes will be so much, they're going to charge them 5 million in taxes a year. The city does that to push businesses out." [04:35]
Lunchbox on real estate near the Super Bowl:
"They decided to just revamp it... piece by piece, they took it apart, left the frame up, and redid it. And it looks fantastic." [05:41]
Coach on wind turbines and the loss of the rural landscape:
"Hundreds of wind turbines on their property. Disgusting... Granddaddy be rolling over in his grave." [10:24–11:44]
Lunchbox, exasperated by playground snack culture:
"When we were kids, did we have a snack every five minutes? No one carried a snack with them." [28:36]
Coach on stadium season ticket prices:
"Every person in there is rich... She was grandfathered in. You have the option to pay a hundred thousand for a season." [17:17–18:23]
Coach on his napping prowess:
"I slept 2 hours and 20 minutes while at work. I mean, that's not an all time record. I don't know what is." [40:11]
Lunchbox on food trucks’ inflation:
"All you’re doing is standing there sucking an exhaust while you eat your food. And they’re charging you 20 bucks a piece." [35:48]
Coach on the merits of lobster rolls:
"I may have got one for the next day at work. It was that good." [37:00]
Lunchbox, on Super Bowl rental schemes:
"Would I make money renting out my house?" [12:02]
(Coach dismisses the idea, believing only prime downtown condos will see real demand.)
The episode is casual, fast-paced, slightly irreverent, and full of relatable urban/Southern humor. Coach and Lunchbox riff on local frustrations, poke fun at themselves, and provide a peek into the banter that has made Sore Losers a beloved spinoff. Their chemistry combines small-town nostalgia, city gripes, and everyday absurdities with a “shootin’ the breeze” authenticity.
