Episode Breakdown

1. Podcast Scheduling Confusion & Taking the Blame

Timestamps: 02:11 – 07:13

• Miscommunication Theme:

  • Brent and Ray open with a bit about Ray’s signature whistle/hum, drawing complaints and laughter (“sometimes I do it so loud… people think it’s a fire alarm…” – Ray, 02:39).
  • Brent apologizes for the podcast confusion: after recording a special pod for the NFL kickoff, Ray mistakenly thought they weren’t supposed to record today.
  • Ray jokes about assuming too much and the domino effect of poor communication, leading to chaos in daily life.

• Life Lesson: Ownership

  • The hosts riff on the value of admitting faults, even for things not your fault.
  • Quote: “Just take fault. Because nobody does what Lunch did right now and took fault. So say cart or something… That was on me.” – Ray (05:47)
  • Quote: “When you volunteer that it was your fault, even if it wasn’t, someone else will step up… it’s just like a domino effect.” – Brent (06:16)

---

2. Ray’s 40th Birthday: The Short List Dilemma

Timestamps: 07:13 – 20:08

• Awkward Reality of Adult Gatherings:

  • Brent apologizes in advance for missing Ray’s 40th birthday brunch due to his kids’ soccer games.
  • Ray’s party was supposed to be intimate, with a “short list” of best friends—but as more people cancel, it comes perilously close to just Ray, his wife “Bazer,” and one other guest in a huge space.

• Family vs. Friends Debate:

  • Brent shares the logistical comedy of trying to balance three kids, birthdays, and adult responsibilities: “Do I get a babysitter… and make a babysitter take them to their games, and I come and get boozy on Broadway with Bae and Ray?” (09:29).
  • The hosts joke about party timing—why is a 40th birthday brunch at 11:30am? “It’s just not normal for a 40-year-old to have an 11am birthday party.” – Brent (14:48)

• Social Customs Satire:

  • They mock classic empty promises like “we’ll make it up to you,” or “let’s get together sometime.”
  • Quote: “Those are the beauty of those statements… you never have to return the favor.” – Ray (13:08)
  • Ray’s shortlist bites back as more guests drop, threatening to make the party awkwardly small, with filler invites considered: “That list didn’t return the paper. That list said, take this list and threw it back in my face.” – Ray (18:56)

---

3. Guys’ Night & Neighborhood Hangouts

Timestamps: 21:47 – 33:43

• NFL Kickoff Guys Night:

  • Brent recounts his attempt at “Guys Night”: starts with just two guys, grows to nine, but includes a bag of cookies (“This is the opposite of guys night, of you bringing a bag of cookies for us. Like, it feels a little intimate…” – Brent, 25:02).
  • The scene is comic—no beer kegs, but cookies cut into slices on a cutting board, and the host visibly desperate for dudes to leave after a long day.

• Parent Fatigue & Suburban Life:

  • Ray laughs at how parents look exhausted: “Oh my gosh, look at these people. That guy looks like a dead man walking…” (30:57).
  • Brent observes the different types of neighbors: salesmen who retired early, day traders, and people who never seem to leave their houses.

---

4. Late-Night Sports – Tennis Talk & More

Timestamps: 36:00 – 41:35

• Weather-Delayed NFL Game:

  • Brent describes getting home to a sleeping house and debating whether to stay up for the end of the NFL game, which was his fantasy “eliminator.”
  • Kills time watching US Open tennis, pondering athletes’ superstitions and the oddities of tennis (yelling at the players’ own coach boxes, tennis balls in pockets, etc).

• Tennis Betting:

  • Ray praises tennis and golf as ideal sports for betting: “it’s so relaxing… in the lead for a lot of it” (40:33).
  • Ray gives a brief tip on the US Open favorites and underdog dynamics.

---

5. NFL, Fantasy Football, and Betting Locks

Timestamps: 41:35 – 51:07

• Game Recaps & Fantasy Frustrations:

  • Brent and Ray break down the Cowboys vs. Eagles NFL opener.
  • Shoutouts to fantasy standouts and busts, e.g., “A.J. Brown… one catch, eight yards.” (42:13).
  • Jerry Jones impersonation by Ray, with satire on the Cowboys organization (43:06–43:51).

• The Locks of the Week:

  • Brent shares three NFL picks with confidence and irreverence:
    • “Arizona Cardinals to blow out the New Orleans Saints -6.5.” (47:41)
    • “Jacksonville Jaguars minus 3.5. Take it to the bank.” (48:28)
    • “Denver Broncos are going to annihilate the Tennessee Titans… Broncos minus eight and a half.” (49:25)
  • Ray’s Tennis Lock: “Center… to win the US Open. The guy got busted for drugs, took three months off, won a tournament. The drugs are maybe still in his system. Allegedly.” (50:45)

---

6. Birthday Reflections & Show Close

Timestamps: 51:35 – 53:53

• Getting Older:

  • Ray’s aspirations for an “uneventful” 40th, focusing on mature celebrations (“Now that we’re 40, we’re mature. We have cigars… we talk about 401ks.” – Ray, 52:10)
  • Friendly teasing and “happy birthday” singing from Brent.

• Teasing Next Episode:

  • Ray jokes about reporting back on birthday antics Monday—“Or will it?” (52:34)
  • A callback to earlier miscommunications, highlighting just how easily adults can talk past each other over group texts and big plans.

• Classic Sore Losers Self-Deprecation:

  • Ray: “What, stay tuned… Maybe for a birthday present Bazer gets me Stanchion guy.” (53:49)

[Brent]

I apologize. I'm sorry. No, no. Can please be. People give us feedback. Do you hate that or is that oh, my God. Why do you like doing that?

[Ray]

Because nobody else can do it. It's a whistle and a hum at the exact same time. And my PE teacher in seventh grade and history teacher taught me how to do it.

[Brent]

But it's like my kids sitting at the dinner table and my youngest one can screech and he does it over and over and over and I don't know why, but your sound is really annoying. No, no. Like it. Like it hurts my ears.

[Ray]

I do it at work. McKitty loves it. The local guy, he always wants me to. But the chicks from the other radio shows, they always go, ray, stop it. Stop it. I'm gonna kill you. Hey, you dumb motherf cker. They'll swear at me. Sometimes, ladies, we just do radio. We're not saving lives here. Let's not yell. I'll not do the foghorn anymore. The funny thing is, sometimes I do it so loud on the sales floor, people think it's a fire alarm or Some. The thing we got before there is now a test. Please leave the building.

[Brent]

There is a emergency. Please leave the building. There is an emergency. Please leave the building.

[Ray]

That's how much people love to hear their voices. Whatever happened to just an alarm that we. Our alarm is some lady hearing herself talk. There is an emergency. Please leave the building. Come on.

[Brent]

But I want to apologize. I want to apologize to you for the confusion. I know we did a pod yesterday, and so you thought we weren't doing a pod today. I thought you understood that we did one yesterday just because it was NFL kickoff. And then if we weren't doing one today, the first weekend of the NFL. I mean, the whole having Monday off screwed us up. And so doing three pods in four days.

[Ray]

My bad, guys. This is me not caring about myself. But you realize it's the dominoes that then fall because you told me no pod or. I assumed. Never assume, Ray.

[Brent]

I mean, on the pod yesterday, I even said, all right, we'll see you guys tomorrow.

[Ray]

Okay, but we do it a day ahead. So I just thought maybe on the big show. I didn't know. Big show.

[Brent]

Oh, so you thought. I meant I'll see you tomorrow on the big show.

[Ray]

Here, here's. Guys, why you always got to have good communication? You texted me days ago and go, we got to do it, man, before one. I was like, okay, he must want to get out of here on Friday. Cool, do it before one. So yesterday, I tell everybody, McKitty, local guy, hey, man, room's wide open. Record whenever you want. We're done. I tell Abby, send. Send me those voicemails whenever. No rush whatsoever. Girl, wide open all morning. Then you texted me, hey, man, see you in a minute.

[Brent]

Yeah, it's. It's. My apologies to leave the building. I thought it was important to do a pod leading into the NFL to recap the first NFL game, to talk about it, to talk about my, you know, guys get together last night where we were going to watch the NFL game on the back patio. I thought it was. I don't know. I just thought that you would want to do your locks because we got to make our listeners some money and all that, and I apologize. The communication was bad. It was. It was. It just wasn't good. And that's. That's on me. Okay.

[Ray]

Yeah, just like when we were at the Vols game and we would keep saying that the offsides. That was on us, guys.

[Brent]

That was on us. That's us. That's us. That's us. That's our fault, guys. That's us. That was fun.

[Ray]

It doesn't matter what area of life you're at. Grocery store always just take fault. Because nobody does what lunch did right now and took fault. So say. Say cart or something. Or something gets spilled at the grocery store. Bad example. Just. That was on me. Even though it wasn't on you. Your kids will learn from it. Your wife will think it's funny. The store workers will go, oh, my gosh, Nobody's ever admitted to a spill in 10 years of working here.

[Brent]

And the strangers around you will be like, no, no, that was my bad. Everybody else will start volunteering. When you volunteer that it was your fault, even if it wasn't, someone else will step up and be like, oh, no, no, that was my fault. Wow. Wow, that was my fault. And it's just like a domino effect. It makes everyone around you feel better and notice.

[Ray]

It'll also be funny. Say if a hostess, she messes up and some people are upset, that was on me, guys. That was on me. You'll get a laugh. If it's a big group of people, you'll tend to then draw some sort of laughter. Guys, my bet, that was on me. Wife respects you. Kids learn from it. All the while, you're the bigger person. It wasn't on you. It's just funny.

[Brent]

And I want to apologize to you again. This one's on me. This one's on me. And I've been thinking about this. I didn't know how to bring it up, but I apologize for the miscommunication. And now I'd like to apologize in advance for missing your birthday tomorrow.

[Ray]

I got wind that you weren't able to come.

[Brent]

I. I want to apologize that I will not be able to make the 11:30am brunch.

[Ray]

I want you to continue. The problem is, it was a short list of people. So if there's one more domino to fall, there may be me, Justin and Bazer looking at each other in a whole floor of Garth's bar. That's the one issue.

[Brent]

Yeah, I figured Kiki and Karen would be there.

[Ray]

No, they should have made the short list.

[Brent]

Though I assume the Dodds would be there. And when your wife sent the text and I was like, oh, that sounds so fun. And my wife was like, yeah, we can get a babysitter. It'd be great. We'll go to brunch, have some drinks, hang out with Ray and bae, and celebrate Ray's birthday. See Justin for the first time in months since we never played his round of birthday golf. That he had tried to set up six months in advance and we have heard nothing about it since. So I guess he gave up on the birthday round of golf.

[Ray]

He did. And we just. His family came into town and we did brunch and we did top golf.

[Brent]

Ah. See? Cause I've been looking forward to that round of golf. Me, you, Dodd, who I haven't seen probably since your bachelor party 16 years ago. No, I saw him at the wedding, and I haven't heard anything about it. But then I get the text about brunch. You're invited to raise 40th birthday brunch. And I'm like, good. Raise my boy. I'm going to be there 11:30. Am I so exciting. Then two weeks after I got that text, the soccer schedule came out and.

[Ray]

Oh, Nashville sc.

[Brent]

No, no, no, no, no. The. The Tigers and Spain. Those are our team names for our two kids. Baby box two and baby box one. And baby box two has a game at noon. Baby box one has a game at 1 o'. Clock. So I had this internal struggle on what to do. Do I get the babysitter and make a babysitter take them to their games, and I come and get boozy on Broadway with BAE and Ray?

[Ray]

You go try to coach.

[Brent]

Exactly. Hey, let's have some shots. Yeah. All right, guys, I gotta go to the game. I'm good.

[Ray]

I'm good.

[Brent]

Okay. What are you doing, man? Why didn't you stop that ball? You did stop it. Oh, my bad. Good job, dude.

[Ray]

What do you mean?

[Brent]

I'm not.

[Ray]

I'm in front of the line. You're going to hit me like the coach that got knocked over Brian Kelly?

[Brent]

What do you mean, goalie? I'm not. There's no goalies. Well, dude, you're standing in the goal. I am?

[Ray]

Oh, sir, you can't block the ball when the other team tries.

[Brent]

Well, I didn't.

[Ray]

It was somebody else. I didn't block a goal. Yes, sir. We saw you with your hand when your kid missed it, and you did that. We. One of our refs saw you do that. Prove it with video.

[Brent]

Hey, ref. Terrible call, dude. That's our boss. That's definitely our ball. That's our ball.

[Ray]

Hey, prove it on a cell phone, boy. The body cam footage. Sir, we don't have body cam footage. This is little kids soccer.

[Brent]

The gut V A R. Man, I don't believe you. Go var. Man, if you think that. Yeah, go the other parents.

[Ray]

You did it, Idiot.

[Brent]

Dumbass.

[Ray]

It's you that you're going to Rely on that guy. That's your witness, star witness.

[Brent]

That dude definitely sniffs butts. Dude, like, what? Oh, I'm the ref, too, because they don't have refs in this league.

[Ray]

Oh, why don't you tell that guy to get off the field, sir, he's not even close to the field. Tell him to get off the playground. Well, that actually is an issue also, sir. Please don't be on the swing set.

[Brent]

So that was the conundrum, the dilemma. And I was like, I don't know what to do. And my wife was like, you know, we got to get a babysitter. We got to go to Ray's 40th. And I was like, if Ray was having a 6pm dinner and then go out, I totally understand. But 11:30 in the morning is a tough time when you have three kids. And after talking it over with my wife, we came to the conclusion that we had to be there for our kids and their games and miss the boozing on Broadway with Bay and ray for his 40th.

[Ray]

Ray, kids before.

[Brent]

No, it's not even that. It's just. And she was like, I just thought, you know, it's his 40th birthday. It's a really big birthday. And I said, yes, I understand it's a big birthday. I said, but they could have planned it like, 6pm Peewee before pod, buddy.

[Ray]

I get it, man. Soccer before season.

[Brent]

Soccer for season.

[Ray]

Yes. Brentwood before B day.

[Brent]

Yep, that's true, too. What else?

[Ray]

Tykes before tots. There might be tots on the menu, so that works.

[Brent]

Oh, that's good. That's good.

[Ray]

Trisha, Garths. Gars Games before gars.

[Brent]

Yeah. Babies before brunch.

[Ray]

Goals before guys.

[Brent]

Yeah. So anyway, so we had the debate back and forth, and it just turned out that if you would have had it at, you know, 4pm Fantastic. 11:30am Is just tough when you got three kids. And even if we. Not if we got a babysitter, then we. The babysitter, we done by four and we got to take care of our kids for the next four hours. After boozing on Broadway with Bay and ray for the 40th, it just didn't work out. And I feel really bad and I want to apologize.

[Ray]

It's on you, ma'. Am.

[Brent]

That one's on me. Like, that is so on me that we're going to make it up to you. What? Right.

[Ray]

I'm going to let you stay the night at our house Saturday night.

[Brent]

I don't know how we're going to make it up to you, but we'll make it up to you at some point.

[Ray]

That's one of those things you could obviously say and you never have to fulfill. Hey man, let's seriously, let's get together, let's get a drink sometime. You never guys, I'll tell you right now, you never have to do that. And the other one is, we'll make it up to you. I owe you a favor. You never have to return the favor and you never have to make it up to somebody. Those are the beauty of those statements.

[Brent]

Yeah, it's like that guy, I forget, I don't remember his name. Golf guy that always sees me at kids functions like, man, how's your golf game? We should get together, play around a golf man. She get to go around and play around the golf. Brad. Or let me see if I got his name anywhere. But he would tell me all the time, man, we should get together, play some golf. And I just joined a club, man, I should have you out for a round. All right man, yeah. Month later, see him at a birthday party. Man, when are we going to play golf? Man, when are we going to play golf?

[Ray]

That's when it bites you, is when you see each other pretty often enough all the time. Awkward. Yeah.

[Brent]

Like it's like, dude, every time you see me does not mean you have to go to the whole golf thing. Like just say, hey, how you doing man? You've been playing golf, you don't have to fall back on the hey, we should play golf sometime. Because you never want to play or you never invite me to play golf. And my wife's like, well why don't.

[Ray]

You just text him couple responses about the birthday. Now that you say it out loud, that does sound early. But God, love baser. She knows my new lifestyle. I'm in bed. More life, less stress. But I'm in bed by seven so she caters to that now she goes to bed at 8:30. Even birthdays she knows we do brunches and then we're out. So. But man, that is an ask.

[Brent]

It's not that it's an ask.

[Ray]

I've never had somebody say it out loud to me that 11am birthday.

[Brent]

Yes. It's just not normal for a 40 year old to have an 11am birthday party.

[Ray]

All right man, we couldn't afford gars at night. What do you want from us?

[Brent]

Like I literally, there's usually, there's usually a birthday party for the kids at 11am I've never had an invite to a 40th birthday party at 11 freakingam.

[Ray]

And Nick and Kiki when they had a big birthday. You're right, it was 8pm I believe.

[Brent]

That'S what I'm saying.

[Ray]

But I was mad about that.

[Brent]

Well, you got to take a nap. You're probably tired. That's usually when you're in bed. And I understand it. So it's just a different lifestyle. You live the lifestyle of the kids. 6, 7pm Bedtime. So you're ready for the birthday party at 8, 9, 10, 11am and you crash at 6. Totally understand.

[Ray]

I think we still should be good. But with the caveat if the Dodds cancel, I believe there's going to be four people on about a 30 square foot floor with a pool table, a TV and more food than to feed the entire homeless population in Nashville. But don't let the Dodds know that. That this is all. My entire birthday celebration is on them. It's on them. It's on me, Ray.

[Brent]

Yeah, that is on me. So I won't be at the birthday party.

[Ray]

What you can do.

[Brent]

Thank you.

[Ray]

Is you can call ahead and you can send us a bottle over of Dom Perry on. And we will toast the glass in your honor and your spirit.

[Brent]

So wait, we will be liquored up.

[Ray]

On Broadway by one. Please don't send that. I want no shots.

[Brent]

So you're telling me that I could call ahead and have a bottle sent to your table?

[Ray]

No, don't.

[Brent]

Well, I wasn't going to do it.

[Ray]

I'm already going to have the conversation with Bazer. I get it's my birthday. I get we're with some booze hounds. We ain't doing shots. Everybody drink their drinks. I want to enjoy conversation. That's why we have a fireplace. That's why we have a pool table. That's why we have a view that overlooks Broadway. So we can people watch and say, look at that Deb debauchery. Man, we are so mature in our age at 40 years old. Wow. Look at the moves we've made. We are higher up in life and higher up in this building than them. Those are the peons. Look at us. We are in our palace looking at them. We're not doing shots. Give me an ultra. Give me a neutral. Give me a White Claw.

[Brent]

What about a Surfside?

[Ray]

Give me a Truly. Don't, but do not give me death. Baser. Loves the surf sides.

[Brent]

And the guy's name is Jerry. Jerry the golf. If you go back, if you remember Jerry, he was all. He always invites me to golf all the time. We have never played a single round of golf. And the reason I tell my wife I'll never text him is because he's the one that like, hey, man, I'm going to hit you up. We're going to play some golf. So when he says that the ball is in his court, I'm not going to reach out to him.

[Ray]

And it's also a big ask the reason I understand the babysitter stuff. That sucks to be a parent who's going to watch three kids for under 20 bucks. You know what I mean?

[Brent]

No, no, no. It's not under $20.

[Ray]

40 is what. So, I mean, I don't.

[Brent]

23 to 25 an hour, and then the.

[Ray]

The Ubers, you're going to factor those in. It ends up being a pretty big day for you.

[Brent]

But your 40th birthday is worth it. The Boozing on Broadway with Bae and Ray for the 40th is absolutely worth the money. It would have been worth the money.

[Ray]

And yeah, yeah, I was trying to think Bones. Eddie, who could I call last second if we need seat fillers? Because I don't have enough friends?

[Brent]

Definitely Abby and Arnold. Abby is always looking for something free to do. Oh, Morgan and her dude, they're always looking to drink.

[Ray]

Yeah, it's one of those where you put yourself out there. I was like, bazer, I'm talking my best friends. That's the only people I want there. I don't want little Timmy that I hang out with every other Friday at work. I don't want Jimbo from church that I see one time a year. I said I want the best of the best of my friends. The convention people.

[Brent]

Wait, they're friends?

[Ray]

They're not my best friends. I said no convention people. Invite Grandma. Maybe for another time. I mean, we're blood. Love her, but she's going to talk about her cats the whole time. I want the people that I have to be around that I listen to them and I laugh. I said, here's the list. Well, that list didn't return the paper. That list said, take this list and threw it back in my face. I feel like these people, I. I feel like we needed to let every person known. Hey, guys, short list. You are super special, but you gotta come.

[Brent]

That.

[Ray]

That's the thing. Because with the short list, it is. The danger of it is if you can't do this, you do the sympathy things. Guys. Make it a whole party. 50 people. But that's not what I wanted.

[Brent]

Last minute fill in.

[Ray]

I said, baser. The shortest of lists. I want these people to be somebody I'd go to war for. And she goes, okay, eight people. Two have canceled.

[Brent]

That's my fault. That's on me. Like I said, that's on me. That really is. That's on me.

[Ray]

It'd be the.

[Brent]

He could fill in. So, yeah, let's go to break. That's on me. When we come back, we'll have happier things to talk about.

[Brent]

Right? Serious.

[Ray]

I'm real sorry about that.

[Brent]

No, really, I am. But also, Mike, I mean, last night, let me tell you, NFL kickoff season, the season's gonna start and it's, it's time to get guys night going. Where all the guys in the neighborhood get together first Thursday, and this dude's like, I got a new back patio. Everybody come over. I got a TV up, I got the antenna working and we'll have it on my back porch. It's screened in. I'm like, all right, you know, let's go, let's do it. And then my wife's like, oh, by the way, I Got a PTA meeting at five for four year olds. And I said, what? Yeah, PTA meeting at five. And it's kind of a tradition now where some of the women that on the pta, we go to the eat at a restaurant right there and have a couple have a drink. And I'm like, I have guys night. And she goes, it's still at 8 o'.

[Ray]

Clock.

[Brent]

And I said, no, no, no, no, no. Tonight it's at 7:20. I said, kickoff. We got NFL kickoff, so I can't be having you be late.

[Ray]

Are there any women at guys night?

[Brent]

No, no, it's guys night only.

[Ray]

Right? But does the dude's wife peek her head out?

[Brent]

The dude's two daughters did come out and say goodnight and the wife waved from the window.

[Ray]

Good night, Sarah. Have fun at college. Go Kappa Kappa Kappa.

[Brent]

No, they're like three and five. They're really young. And so they came out, said goodnight, gave us high fives. The wife waved from the window. But my wife, I was like, so, yeah, you got to, you know, if you could try to be home a little early. And I mean, she walked in the door 7 o', clock, and I was usually at 7:30, 7:45, when they go to eat and have a drink. And I said, how are you home so early? She goes, oh, PTA meeting only lasted 35 minutes. I said, they all wanted to get home from football or they had to get home too because their husbands were going to watch football somewhere else.

[Ray]

And it's impressive. 30 minute meeting with a bunch of hens.

[Brent]

That's Ray, that's sexist. I mean, I guess the school must be running smoothly because it's only 35 minutes.

[Ray]

Those chicks on the View, those hens, they can't keep it under an hour.

[Brent]

They cower, they cackle. So I walk over there and I'm like, all right, this is gonna be great. Bunch of guys over here.

[Ray]

Were you pregaming at the house?

[Brent]

No, no, no. I was hanging out with the kids. It was still early and so I threw some in the little portable cooler. And I walk over there and it's just two dudes.

[Ray]

Oh, boy, is this foreshadowing?

[Brent]

And he's like, in the guy's house. He's like, look, man, look, I just got these new couches today. It's like outdoor furniture. I'm like, all right, cool. We sit down. Another guy, the guy that owns the house, his name is Josh. The other guy's Jeremy Farts. And Jeremy's like, what the. Jeremy has a Little pink bag with him.

[Ray]

Oh.

[Brent]

And I'm like, oh, dude, what is that?

[Ray]

You never said guys night.

[Brent]

Well, he goes, I brought us a bag of cookies.

[Ray]

You guys can't escape your wives. Your wives are draped all over you.

[Brent]

And I'm like, excuse me? He goes, yeah, I was at the bakery, and I was like, oh, man, I'll get an extra bag for the boys.

[Ray]

Thoughtful. Better be chocolate chip.

[Brent]

And I said, so tell me more. And he's like, yeah, I was getting some, you know, cupcakes for the house, for the family, and they had a bag of cookies sitting there. And I was like, oh, I think the guys would like these, so I'll bring them to guys night. But it's a little pink bag with a sticker to keep it closed. I'm like, this is the opposite of guy night, of you bringing a bag of cookies for us. Like, it feels a little intimate for us. To our. Us three, I guess, to be sitting here on a couch eating cookies together.

[Ray]

What'd you want, an ice block? Kegerator? Keg stands?

[Brent]

I don't know. And Josh, whose house it was like, dude, I had a flight, man. I couldn't smoke any meats.

[Ray]

I got the next one on the ice block.

[Brent]

And he's like. He goes, but I'll go in and get a cutting board, and we can cut the cookies into pieces so we can all taste some.

[Ray]

Josh, put your mouth on that. I'm going to drip this vodka down it. All right, stop sucking.

[Brent]

So he goes and gets a cutting board, and he brings it out, and they cut the cookies in nice little pieces, and they're like, hey, man, get you some.

[Ray]

And I'm like, oh, they were special cookies.

[Brent]

No, no, no, they were just regular cookies, Ray.

[Ray]

Second quarter, I thought for a second I was watching the wizard of Oz.

[Brent]

And then the game starts, and his TV is, like, a weird color.

[Ray]

Oh, boy. Cookies are setting in.

[Brent]

And I'm like, hey, man. Like, what's wrong with your tv? He's like, I don't know. I just set it up today. And then the sound goes out.

[Ray]

Guys, is it me, or does Dak look like the Tin Man?

[Brent]

I'm like, no, no, they all looked like the. The. The. The spinach guy. The green, like, Incredible Hulk. They were all green.

[Ray]

Oh, boy. Yeah, his red and green balances off.

[Brent]

And something like that. And he was like. So he starts fidgeting with it, and then it goes to commercial, and it works again. I'm like, all right, all right, that's better. That's better. Good. Can we get the sound back on? He's like, well, I'm trying to figure it out. Got the sound going. Game starts and Jalen Carter spits on Dak and gets kicked out. And my phone just starts blowing up. And batter's box calls me and I'm like, He's like talking to me. He's like, who is that?

[Ray]

Over a little Hawk Tua.

[Brent]

I think he called me maybe in the first quarter. I don't know what happened. Holy crap.

[Ray]

I got to call my brother, man. Somebody just spat on another man.

[Brent]

I don't know. And he calls these like, oh, who is that? And I'm like, I'm over to Buddy's house watching the game. He goes, oh, cool. And then he just starts texting me throughout the game, and he gets mad at me because I picked the Eagles as my eliminator.

[Ray]

And the first game of the first day of the first season of the first month. Good gosh, give it till Sunday.

[Brent]

I know.

[Ray]

Are you. You're.

[Brent]

You're a madman.

[Ray]

You needed the Survivor action that bad?

[Brent]

No, no, I didn't need bad. I just thought, man, there's no way the Cowboys can beat the Eagles. And so then I texted him. I'm like, man, I'm stressing. This is not starting out good for me. And then he replied. I tried to tell you over and over. Tushbush celebration was awesome. Kind of needed Dallas field. Go there. This sucks. Also, you are not responding from your boyfriend's house. I'm like, dude, I'm sorry that I'm over with some dudes and. And I'm watching a football game. I can't reply to every single text message.

[Ray]

Well, that's the beauty of it. When you're with your boys now, what do we realize, guys? We're all married. There ain't no good text coming in, right? It's not a phone in the pocket. I'll check it in four hours.

[Brent]

It's not an important. It's not that important of a text.

[Ray]

It's not going to be a pick topless, right?

[Brent]

And so then about mid first quarter, though, two more dudes showed up. And then it started rocking.

[Ray]

What's up, bro?

[Brent]

What's up, dude? What's up, man? How you doing?

[Ray]

Hey, man, those. Take some of those cookies, man. They hit around the halftime apparent. I thought somebody was Hawk 2 in there or something. What's up, man?

[Brent]

What's up?

[Ray]

What's up? What's up, bro? Yeah, what's up, man? How's the way how's your sex life, Jim? How you doing, man? You guys still throwing it back?

[Brent]

Yeah, and we were just chatting it up. One dude. Yeah, what's up, dude? There's two guys rolled up and they're in there. And then two more dudes show up.

[Ray]

Well, so the two guys rolled up together.

[Brent]

Yeah, they. They're neighbors.

[Ray]

Attracts.

[Brent]

They were neighbors. Oh, yeah. They live on the same street, like four houses apart. So they both rode their electric bikes over.

[Ray]

You got vehicle access on your street?

[Brent]

Nah, they just rode their. Their electric bikes, man. They bring in their beers. And one guy's got his four beers in his hand. He's like, hey, can I put in someone's cooler? Throws it in my cooler. And then two more dudes show up. And so now we're like, you know, five, seven dudes. It's. It's popping.

[Ray]

That's good.

[Brent]

And then an eighth dude shows up, and then a ninth dude rolls in and we're like, hey, you want to drink? He's like, nah, man. No, I gotta. I got a big trial next week.

[Ray]

What are you, a doctor?

[Brent]

And I'm like, oh, really? He goes, yeah, I'm just. I just stepping away for about 20 minutes. I gotta go back in there. It's gonna be a long case next week.

[Ray]

And I'm like, what a low key flex.

[Brent]

I'm like, oh, you want to sit down? No, man, I've been sitting down all day just going over stuff and. Guilty.

[Ray]

You're guilty for not sitting. How are you doing, Jim? Hell you been, man?

[Brent]

And he only stayed about 20 minutes, man. He only stayed 20 minutes. And then. Whoa.

[Ray]

He had a time. He was right on the timeline.

[Brent]

Hey, I think lawyers are on the timeline. Because he was just like, all, yeah, all right, I got to go, man. I got to. Got to go back over this case and f, you know, lose, tie up some loose ends. I'm all right. Cool, man.

[Ray]

Need me to look over a couple things, Jim.

[Brent]

And then the lightning strikes in Philadelphia. Our weather delay. And that's when the guy with the cookies he packed up, he's like, I'm out of here. I'm out of here. Daps us all. And the guys who house it was. He looks exhausted because he had been in Cleveland the day before. Flew back yesterday. And it's. He's just yawning and like, looking like he's about to pass out. And nobody is moving.

[Ray]

I tell you, finish this. But I got to tell you, not having kids, we love looking at parents with kids and just how tired They're. And you're like, oh, my gosh, look at these people. That guy looks like a dead man walking. Oh, look at the chick. Look at the chick. She looks like she literally just bit his head off in the car. Oh, my gosh, these people with kids, it's hilarious. What are you saying?

[Brent]

And I mean, he's yawning, he's walking around like doing the eyes, trying to keep him open.

[Ray]

And he's slapping himself and I mean, come on. Hey, dude, are you all right, man?

[Brent]

I said, hey, dude. You tired? No, no, no, no. Okay, anybody got any slope skiing? No, Nobody is moving. And I can tell this dude is just like itching for us to leave his house. He is itching for us to get off his back patio, his screened in porch and get our asses home. We'll leave the light on because he is looking at his phone like. And everybody, I mean, people are lounge. I mean, people are laid back with their, you know, just like leaned back spread, just chilling.

[Ray]

Hey, you comfy, Mark?

[Brent]

One dude pours himself another little neat glass of whiskey.

[Ray]

Number two.

[Brent]

Yeah, number two. And he's just drinking it, just talking. And he's just like, man, when are you guys going to leave my house?

[Ray]

Also, the question is, do a lot of these guys work from home? We ain't got jobs we got to be at in the morning.

[Brent]

One guy, I don't know, because you.

[Ray]

Can get away with a hangover at home, type it on the computer. In person, it's tough to pull off a hangover.

[Brent]

One guy there, he definitely works from home. Love it. The other two dudes, I don't know what they do, where they work. Gotta be working from home. The other guy I know does not work from home. He has meetings and he usually goes to work 6am so he goes hard, gets up early and works hard. And so finally, the lightning delay and everything, they're like, it's gonna be another hour before we play some football.

[Ray]

Yeah, I'm out.

[Brent]

And that's when I was like, all right, man, I think I'm gonna head out. And then that's when everybody's like, yeah, I think I'm gonna head out. And that guy's house was like, thank God, guys. You guys have a good night, man. Thank God you guys aren't even off the patio. The lights go, dude, it's already out. And he's already. I mean, he's already locked the door. You hear that? And I'm like, whoa. All right, man. Sorry about that.

[Ray]

I was curious because my One neighbor, he's sales. Yeah, he was so successful he hasn't worked for a year and a half. Which what was he selling that's that successful and isn't drugs? Like what? And then my other neighbor, he's a stock trader. Baser. Why is he just always around? Oh, he does stocks. I mean, the stock market's booming. To support a family.

[Brent]

Must be nice.

[Ray]

Doesn't leave his house.

[Brent]

I wish I had that life.

[Ray]

We'll take him 1am beating the pavement back to Nashville. So you tell me he doesn't even pull out of the driveway.

[Brent]

Hey, how many miles you got in your car now, man?

[Ray]

200,000.

[Brent]

Oh, we'll take a break.

[Brent]

And then so I went home, and my wife's already asleep. Kids are asleep.

[Ray]

Hey, wake up. Wake up.

[Brent]

Dog's asleep. And I've got to make the tough decision. Do I stay up and watch the end of this game, or do I go to bed?

[Ray]

Yeah. We've waited over 200 days for this.

[Brent]

Correct. And it was my eliminator in most of my eliminator league. So I said, I'm staying up for this sucker. Yeah. So why? There was a weather delay. You know what I watched and I haven't watched in a long time? Tennis. I watched US Open tennis.

[Ray]

Well, that wasn't the day. Oh, women's.

[Brent]

It was. It was.

[Ray]

Today's the day. Joker, Alcatraz. And then tonight, Sinner, I think is like, the favorite by a landslide. But Joker and Alcaraz, matinee lock in.

[Brent]

Oh, dude. Osaka. And whatever the other girl's name was.

[Ray]

Jenna Sokka beat Sokka, whatever her name was.

[Brent]

And they're getting mad at each other. The one girl takes her racket and starts smacking herself in the head with it. And after every point, they're yelling at their selves and yelling at the people in their box like it's their fault. Like, the people in your box, guys, they are not the one hitting the tennis ball. So when you hit it out of bounds, don't look up in the mid and go, why? What? What's wrong? What was that? No, you did that. They didn't do that. It was so weird. I don't watch much tennis, but why they yell at the people in their box so much?

[Ray]

It's a bizarre sport. Why can the coaches not just be on there? Why are they not coaching them? Hey, watch for this. Look for that instead. They're up chilling, having a drink in the stands.

[Brent]

It's a great question.

[Ray]

I would have. Why are they not on the baseline? Hey, you got to get over a little bit. Be a little bit quicker, and you'll be better. They're just chilling. They got their sunglasses on, hanging out, getting a tan. Guy's got his gold chain on. Is that your coach or your husband? Like, who is that guy?

[Brent]

Also, I'm not even sure, like, if they're coaching from the. I don't even know if they're allowed to coach or if they're just allowed to say, it's okay. Good job. You got this. I, I, I remember watching some tennis tournament. I don't know which one it was, but they weren't allowed to coach from up there, they weren't allowed to give them pointers, which is so weird. What sport do you have where your coach can't help you during the game?

[Ray]

It doesn't exist.

[Brent]

I guess, golf. But your caddy helps you. He's kind of like a coach.

[Ray]

We just get set in our ways. Guys get the coach on the baseline instead of in the crowd with one of those blue drinks and Moet champagne.

[Brent]

I was impressed at how many people were still there after midnight in New York watching the tennis. Like, it was pretty. There's the crowd. It wasn't completely full, but it was loud. And a chair umpire. Thank you, thank you, thank you. You know, like, telling us, shut up. I watched tennis, man. I didn't stay up for the end of the match, but it went to a tiebreaker in the second set. Man, Osaka hit like, four in a row out of bounds. It was four nothing. The other girl, and I mean, it was a good match.

[Ray]

They slapped the crap out of that tennis ball.

[Brent]

They do. And another thing I find interesting, and I think guys do it, too. So they asked for three balls, right? When they ball and they pick one and they. They pick two and throw one out. It can't be very comfortable to run around with a tennis ball in your pocket.

[Ray]

What a bizarre sport that the extra ones you just throw in your pocket.

[Brent]

Like, give it back to the ball boy, and then get one when you need one. Why do we have extra ones in our pockets? That can't be. Like, it seems so ridiculous. And it's the stupidest thing. Like, what a dumb thing to think about. Like, no one. No one watching tennis is like, I can't believe they put in their pocket. But last night, I kept going. Osaka was wearing, like, this dress, skirt thing, and she had, like, a pocket underneath the skirt flap, and she put the extra tennis ball there. And I'm like, that slap in your leg cannot be comfortable.

[Ray]

And also, tennis is all timing. And I don't know if they did it for years, but now they'll start. You know how you do overhand?

[Brent]

Yeah.

[Ray]

You can actually serve underhand. And guys will quick hit it.

[Brent]

No.

[Ray]

Yeah. It's awesome when they do it, but it's not respected in the sport. So it's one of those unwritten rules. Really don't do it. Yeah, they'll fake like they're going over the top and just baby hit it.

[Brent]

Never seen it.

[Ray]

Yeah, I did it the other day, and the guy got so pissed that he did it.

[Brent]

That's fantastic.

[Ray]

It's all about timing. You wonder how they're hitting it so fast. They're all just in sync. That's why the beauty of the great players now are the ones that can dink it in there and it just barely goes over the net. Joker forever never was able to do it. He finally learned how to do it, but he's kind of getting phased out. It's Alcatraz and it's center. It's their world. We're just living in it.

[Brent]

Yeah, maybe I'll watch that today. But it was pretty cool. I watched tennis last night and I was actually entertained.

[Ray]

It's one. Tennis and golf, counterintuitively, are the best sports to bet. They're so relaxing. Usually you're in the lead for a lot of it. It's not basketball where you're up five. Oh, I won this bet. You go to the bathroom, you come back, they're down 15. What happened while I was in the john? And then NFL, football. Football's good, but if you get down, like two or three touchdowns, it's like, well, we ain't coming back on this. Golf and tennis are beautiful to bet. Not that I would know. It's been a while.

[Brent]

Yeah, I wouldn't know. Cause I don't even know. Do you bet just who wins? Do you bet matches, points, sets? I don't know. I've never even looked at a tennis bet.

[Ray]

Yeah, I don't know the line, but I would say now that we're narrowing down to Alcatraz and Joker and Perugala lost.

[Brent]

I don't know who, but she lost. So we got. We're down to the women's final, but.

[Ray]

I'm saying the lines are more even. So, like, that would be because usually they're such favorites. Even center tonight, he's got to be like minus 3,000. He's that good. So, yeah, you would bet the over under on however many sets there are rounds. Whatever they're called.

[Brent]

Got it. Yeah, it was entertaining. The Cowboys game. It was entertaining. I got to say, the Cowboys looked a lot better than I thought they were going to. They played a lot better than I thought they were going to. I thought they were going to get blowed out of the water. I don't know how much you watched.

[Ray]

I saw the highlights. You can pull up Twitter.

[Brent]

I mean, Jalen hurts. Jalen hurts. Didn't even have to throw the ball. He just ran the ball the whole time.

[Ray]

Yeah, his stat line, NFL is weird now. He only had 150 yards. Were there any interceptions?

[Brent]

No, there was just one Fumble by Miles Sanders. And besides that. And Dak looked pretty good. He made some good throws. I don't think he threw for a lot of yards. George Pickens, he did nothing. Thank you for that.

[Ray]

A.J. brown. In our draft, everybody was like, A.J. brown's in the third. Almost went to the fourth. And I was kind of kicking myself. I was like, dang it. Should we have got A.J. brown? Thank God we didn't. One catch, eight yards.

[Brent]

He only had one target, dude. One target the entire time.

[Ray]

God. But I was a little mad at myself, guys, thank God you don't need AJ Brown.

[Brent]

One target all night. One target for a guy that's a.

[Ray]

Second round fantasy pick.

[Brent]

And CD Lamb, three. Well, two drops the one. What was crazy is they had fourth and three, right? Fourth and three.

[Ray]

Is that the Superman one?

[Brent]

And they throw this freaking bomb. And CD Lamb lays out. Oh, couldn't quite get it.

[Ray]

That's LS Cowboys play, man.

[Brent]

Fourth and three and you throw a bomb with the game on the line. Just seems crazy. But he did drop a couple. Good game. Congrats, Cowboys. Eagles, they didn't look as dominant. They're.

[Ray]

Talk to Jerry for a second.

[Brent]

Yeah, Jerry, what do you think?

[Ray]

Yeah. So that's how. That's how his Cowboys. We covered the spread, didn't we? Yes, you did that the Cowboys will do. We lost. Now we got the pass rush. We said with Micah leaving, we get stopped the run. Did we stop the run?

[Brent]

Ah, not really. Well, I mean, Jalen hurts scrambled. You didn't really do a good job of containing him, but you did contain Barkley to only like 60 yards.

[Ray]

Oh, maybe we need to get Micah back. Stop that run up a little bit more. But lightning. Only a Cowboys game. That happens. Powerful team, man. Play for the star, not the name on your back. Jerry Jones out. Go Cowboys. Watch the documentary. Check it out on HBO nine part series about me and the oil rig. Jerry Jones.

[Brent]

My dad says that's a good series. He started watching. He's enjoying it. And my dad doesn't enjoy any tv.

[Ray]

I've heard that it makes you respect Jerry. Just what he built. I mean, it was just a shot in the dark. Used all of his savings, got the oil rig, sprung a leak, bought a team. He's a powerful, powerful man. But the same strong hand that he had back then. He doesn't have any more. I mean, he's playing hardball with Micah Parsons, the best in the sport. I did a handshake deal back in April, Micah, you remember that? No, you don't Go to Green Bay. We'll see you later. Thanks, Micah.

[Brent]

We'll take a break. We'll be right back.

[Brent]

I mean, this is it. You ready for some locks? Dude, I.

[Ray]

Listen, I don't even know the sites to go for a lock.

[Brent]

What?

[Ray]

Where do you see bedding lines?

[Brent]

DraftKings? Okay, yeah, you just open it up and it's really easy. I mean, Chiefs, Chargers and I. I don't even know. I don't have YouTube TV, so does that mean I can't watch it?

[Ray]

I'll give you some sites. Okay. Even though.

[Brent]

No, no, that one got shut down.

[Ray]

Stream East. They busted two dudes in Egypt. Stream east is dead, but got about 10 others you can go do.

[Brent]

I'm not really a big Fan of doing the illegal streaming.

[Ray]

Oh, no, I don't do it. I've just heard there's other ones you can go to.

[Brent]

Okay, look guys, there's a lot of great games this week. Lot of great games. And I'm going to start in New Orleans. The Arizona Cardinals are going to New Orleans. Let me tell you. The New Orleans Saints, they drafted this Tyler Slough guy to be their quarterback in the second round.

[Ray]

The future.

[Brent]

The future. And he couldn't even beat out Spencer Rattler.

[Ray]

Rattler's good. Rattler can run. That boy got wheels.

[Brent]

Boy, Spencer Rattler can't do crap. I watched him last year play in the NFL. He wasn't good. Give me the Arizona Cardinals to blow out the New Orleans Saints minus six and a half. Take it to the bank. Oh, you want to go down to Jacksonville now? Jacksonville?

[Ray]

South Beach. South beach is down there. Izzy, he works there at a hotel chain.

[Brent]

Oh, he moved. Raise it all in. I thought he lived up in Indiana.

[Ray]

He lived in Cincinnati.

[Brent]

That's it. That's in Ohio.

[Ray]

Inside joke. It was a two year job. He's out in Jacksonville now.

[Brent]

Okay, well, tell him if he wants to make some money this weekend. They're playing the Carolina Panthers. And oh yeah, Jacksonville sucked last year. They absolutely sucked. But guess who sucked worse? Carolina sucked worse. Trevor Lawrence has got Cohen, Coham, whoever was coaching Baker Mayfield last year, he's got him on the sidelines. He's going to have some fun with Trevor Lawrence and Brian Thomas and Travis Etienne. Please, please give it to Etienne. Please, please, please. So you're going to give me the Jacksonville Jaguars minus three and a half. Take it to the bank. And then last but not least, guys, the Denver Broncos are going to annihilate the Tennessee Titans dub. I'm sorry, Cam Ward. You may be good, you may be the future.

[Ray]

He said he doesn't listen to music in his headphones. It's just silence.

[Brent]

Oh, thought he was listening to us. But Cam Ward going up against that defense, start his first NFL start, he is going to be thoroughly, thoroughly confused. Give me the Broncos minus eight and a half. Take it to the bank. Bank. That's it. That's what you need. That's what that. Those. That's how you make money this weekend.

[Ray]

Can I give you a tennis lock?

[Brent]

Yeah, give me a tennis lock, man.

[Ray]

I believe starting the tournament center was plus something. It was one mid ones, so you'd put, you know, it was a good return. Now it's even money or less than. He's still the Favorite over Alcatraz. Joker would be the upset. You guys, it's this afternoon. You might not even get this podcast before then. But tonight, center plays a scrub. And then Sunday, center plays probably Alcatraz at the US Open in New York City, the matinee during NFL football. So you'll actually be watching football. So I'm giving you a lock of something you won't even be watching. Center. The guy got busted for drugs, took three months off, won a tournament. He. The drugs are maybe still in his system. Allegedly. Take center. He is powerful. They call him like the Red Fox.

[Brent]

Stop. You're giving out a minus 2500 favorite.

[Ray]

No, no, no. He's got a. He'll win tonight. But then when he plays Alcatraz, it'll probably be even money. Oh, ish. It'll be like minus 140. Okay, so futures, if you will. So you can even bet it on Sunday. But center to win the US Open.

[Brent]

And he's minus 160 to win it all.

[Ray]

What is my saying? Lock the chastity belt or what? What is it that I say?

[Brent]

Lock the jail cell.

[Ray]

Lock it up. Quinshawn Jodkins. Lock it. We dropped the dude for the Browns. Quinn. Sean Judkins. He's in jail. He had an ankle monitor, orange jumpsuit. The guy's not even on an NFL team. And he was on our fantasy team. We have dropped him. We put him out to pasture.

[Brent]

Hey, enjoy it. Hey, guys, have a great weekend. Enjoy the NFL college football. I mean, every spread is like 500 points this weekend. Enjoy that. Michigan, Oklahoma is the only game of the top 25. Besides that, it's a bunch of crap festival crap on poop. So enjoy it. Have a good weekend. We'll see you Monday, Ray. Happy birthday. Weekend is, say, your birthday?

[Ray]

Yeah, it's today. And we're shooting for uneventful. Now that we're 40, we're mature. We have cigars.

[Brent]

Happy birthday to Ray.

[Ray]

We have old fashions.

[Brent]

Happy birthday to Ray.

[Ray]

We have deep conversations. We talk about 401ks.

[Brent]

Happy birthday day to Ray.

[Ray]

And we cheers to another year of life. Because we're not guaranteed these. So it'll probably be uneventful when I report back on Monday. Or will it.

[Brent]

Ray?

[Ray]

That is a hell of a tease.

[Brent]

Way to tease it, dude. Way to tease it. Way. I mean, that's a great tease, dude.

[Ray]

I mean, the whole dang time I thought we were doing the podcast yesterday because you wanted me to celebrate my birthday, and then you had had some appointment, so I Thought we were moving everything up a day. And then I was thrown, man. The whole time. I thought you were shifting podcasts for my birthday.

[Brent]

That's my fault, dude. I thought you wanted to do one on your birthday so I could sing Happy Birthday, Ray.

[Ray]

It's like when Justin texted us about.

[Brent]

Golf and we died.

[Ray]

We thought it was about us. It was about his birthday.

[Brent]

It was about him, man. Hey, Justin, that's on me, man. That's on me. That is. That's on me, man.

[Ray]

It was his birthday.

[Brent]

That's our fault, man. I apologize.

[Ray]

Nobody texts him back?

[Brent]

No, we were just like, yeah, Justin, that's a great idea, man. You planned something for our birthday, like for Dodd's birthday. I'm so glad you're. You're planning Dodd's birthday celebration. Never crossed my mind that it was about him. Never. That's on me. That's on me.

[Ray]

In attendance at the birthday Angelina.

[Brent]

What? Stay tuned.

[Ray]

And maybe for a birthday present Baser gets me Stanchion guy.

[Brent]

That would be awesome.

[Ray]

Hey, let's get these stanchions up here, guys. I know there's only four people here, but let's get these stanchions. Let's get you guys away from everybody else. Hey, give me a couple of those stanchions. Yeah, let's clear it out here.
