[Dr. Maya Shankar]

Hey, I'm Dr. Maya Shankar. I host a podcast called A Slight Change of Plans that combines behavioral science and storytelling to help us navigate the big changes in our lives.

[Sizz]

I get so choked up because I feel like your show and the conversations are what the world needs. Encouraging, empowering counter programming that acts like a lighthouse when the world feels dark.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

Listen to A Slight Change of plans on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.

[Sizz]

Yo. Yeah, you're not on.

[Lunchbox]

I know I'm not on. There I am. It's glad to be back, man. Or it's good to be back. I don't know. Yeah, there it goes. It's working today. Yeah. You know dude, you in the non music and the not having headphones, it really is throwing this pot off. Like why, why are you not wearing headphones? Why do you not turn the music on? Why do you not do anything?

[Sizz]

Everybody's one episode away from just losing it.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, I'm just trying to figure out is there a reason like that you didn't want to do this, that you didn't want the headphones? Is it you don't like hearing the music? It's just interesting.

[Sizz]

It's too much in the weeds. But there is a. A very pair of headphones that we used to always use. And I loved how it almost puts it straight from your mouth into your ears. These new age headphones, there's a split second delay and it throws me the hell off. It's tough for me to complete sentences. I do run on sentences I am not able to properly articulate. Semicolon Nolins without the headphones, this is how I talk in real life. I can finish sentences. I understand what you're saying. I'm talking, hello, man at the gas station. How are you with the headphones? It's how are you, you, you, you? Hey, my name's Sisson. It throws me the hell off.

[Lunchbox]

That's weird. Why don't you just get a good pair of headphones with that said, these.

[Sizz]

Headphones that everybody has. You, Steve, me, Amy does like some iPhone ones. Eddie New. No idea. Morgan Beats, I believe. Bones inner ears. But everybody. These expensive hundred dollar headphones actually blow the headphones from yesteryear that I can't find anywhere. Were the best ones where it's immediacy from the mouth to the ears.

[Lunchbox]

I am feeling great. I love my headphones. There is no delay, there's no nothing. Like, these are absolutely perfect. And I don't know what I mean. I literally just walked in the store, grabbed them off the shelf. I don't do any research. I just grabbed them, oh, these might be good. And bought them. So I don't even know how much these cost. You could maybe google them. Maybe they don't even make them anymore because they're really old. They've been around for at least 12 years. But yeah, it's just really weird. But let's start the show, man. It's Friday.

[Sizz]

I'm just waiting for the big show to get mad at me because I'll talk to Bones and I only have one ear on. So I'm waiting for him to be like, hey, dude, the music is too loud. Sorry, dude, I can barely hear it. I only got one headphone.

[Lunchbox]

Didn't realize you only had one headphone on. I'm glad you don't just go headphoneless there. He would be in. That wouldn't fly.

[Sizz]

Oh, we did a segment the other day. I wanted to remove him entirely and he would have killed me.

[Lunchbox]

You would have. You would have died and see. So I'm not. I'm not mad at you this Friday. I'm just gonna smile. I'm just gonna look at you and be like, hey, yay. Good job, man. But yeah, it's cool.

[Sizz]

We got so much to cover.

[Lunchbox]

We got so Much to cover. Man, we got so much to cover.

[Sizz]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

I love short weeks.

[Sizz]

They're the best.

[Lunchbox]

They're the best. Like, I mean this being already Friday is amazing. Like it is an amazing feeling when you wake up and it's like, wow, today's Friday already.

[Sizz]

And you don't appreciate stuff. When you were younger in college, we had three day weeks in Texas State, maybe it was four. There was no class on Friday at Texas State.

[Lunchbox]

I know there was. You just didn't take them. You took Monday, Wednesday classes and Tuesday Thursday classes.

[Sizz]

There was a year they outlawed them. No, not one person had Friday classes.

[Lunchbox]

That's just not accurate.

[Sizz]

It is.

[Lunchbox]

No, it's not.

[Sizz]

You couldn't take one.

[Lunchbox]

I guarantee you that's not accurate. I guarantee it.

[Sizz]

All my cats rise up because I.

[Lunchbox]

Know that everybody had the Monday, Wednesday, Tuesday, Thursday class schedule. I never had that. All my classes. Every one of them. Not every one of them, but there was never a semester where it's like, oh, this class is offered Monday and Wednesday. Only if I was doing a Monday, Wednesday. It was always offered on Friday. So I always had Monday, Wednesday, Friday. I never had that four day week.

[Sizz]

They changed. I'm telling you. You can ask Billy, South Beach.

[Lunchbox]

So I understand that your friends took certain courses that were not offered on Friday, but there was no chance that the whole university was closed on Friday. It's just not accurate.

[Sizz]

Me, my ex, in 2008, look it up somewhere. There's got to be able to fact check it. Me, my ex girlfriend, Billy and South beach would sit in my apartment on Friday, watch the herd. Talk about what we're going to bet for college football. Because nobody had class, classes didn't exist at Texas State on Friday.

[Lunchbox]

That is four people out of 30,000.

[Sizz]

In all different majors.

[Lunchbox]

Dude. There's not possibility that Texas State decided, you know what, we'll just try this for one year. We'll just try this out of nowhere. We've been in existence for 100 years, but in 2008 we're going to decide, you know what, there's not going to be a single class on Friday and see how it goes. And then the very next semester they changed back to classes on Friday. They would not do that.

[Sizz]

I don't, I graduated then, so I don't know if it continued. I didn't check.

[Lunchbox]

Right now there's no one at Texas State going to school because it's Friday. That means there's no classes offered today.

[Sizz]

So I'm saying right now it's probably.

[Lunchbox]

So out by that little river, right, that runs through downtown.

[Sizz]

Never got into that one. I wish I would have.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, you should have.

[Sizz]

It was too cold. And it was a lot of seaweed in there.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, but it wasn't about the seaweed, and it wasn't really about the river, Ray. It was about the things that were laying around by the river. Like, that's what it was about, right? Like, it wasn't about you getting in that dang river. Like. Like, as much as you want to say, oh, I wasn't into. Like, who cares? It's sort of like Barton Springs, man. I should have gone to Barton Springs more when I. When I was in my mid-20s.

[Sizz]

Did they go naked there?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. Or top was at least she. And that's what I'm saying. Like, I should have been more into Barton Springs. I went a few times, but, like, after Friday night on 6th Street, I should have got up and on Saturday afternoon, about noon, roommate and I, we should have headed to Barton Springs, but we never did. And I don't know what our problem was. And I realize it now, like, we should have done that. That was the place to be. Yeah, but that's okay. Sort of like you in the river. It was too cold.

[Sizz]

Yeah. Let's start it.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, let's do it.

[Sizz]

Arnold. Any update on him? We'll try and check in later in the show. I think that sounds good.

[Lunchbox]

That sounds great, man.

[Sizz]

All right, let's do it live. We are the 1, 2, 3.

[Lunchbox]

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

[Sizz]

It's Sizz. I'm from the North. I cannot hear the audio. I'm going condomless. And I'm an alpha male. I live on the west side, then move to the north side with bays with the country. 2.2 acres, 2.2 kids of Vanderbilt. Justin checks on them in the electrophysiology unit every single day. And she. Over to you, coach.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, how did I sleep last night? Thanks for asking, Ray. Let me tell you, we've got emotion, emotional city going on in my house right now because Baby Box finished kindergarten a week ago. Now Baby Box 2, today is his big day. Today is pre K graduation. He's gonna walk that stage in his cap and gown. Amazing. It's gonna be, what a wonderful feeling. A big accomplishment. If you're able to graduate pre K, the future is limitless.

[Sizz]

Does anybody get held back?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Sizz]

Wow. That's a rough start of it.

[Lunchbox]

Now, when I say they get held back, it means that their parents just start them late in kindergarten. Yeah, there's no. The school doesn't hold him back.

[Sizz]

Got it.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. And so we've been trying to hype him up, and he's excited, but. Oh, I didn't know they had the spelling bee last night. I did one.

[Sizz]

And no.

[Lunchbox]

Last night, he was very emotional, upset about things, crying. And I said, bud, what's wrong? He goes, I'm just. I'm just sad that I'm not gonna see my friends anymore. And I'm like, yeah. Are you Sad about leaving Ms. Sarah? No. No. It's more my friends. It's more my friends. And he's had the best. Same best friend since he was about a year old.

[Sizz]

His roll dog.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. Him and her have been side by side the whole time. Pictures from when they were 1 years old, they'd crawl to each other in the classrooms, and they just. All the way up. They have been best friends. And next year, when they go to elementary school, they won't be at the same school. They are going to separate schools. And he is heartbroken, devastated. And it ends today.

[Sizz]

Ray, we're going private.

[Lunchbox]

No, we're not going private.

[Sizz]

Is it where you guys live? Is that the reason? Yeah, that's why the Dodds moved. I can't put. What I was saying was, in Michigan, it is freedom of choice. You can go to any school you want.

[Lunchbox]

Really?

[Sizz]

In Tennessee, it's where it's all determined by geographically where you live.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. That's how it is everywhere I've lived. Maybe because in. Where'd you say? Michigan.

[Sizz]

It's. It's. Maria told me the exact wording. It is freedom of sexuality, freedom of orientation, freedom of choice.

[Lunchbox]

Okay.

[Sizz]

And he lives in Boomer. Lives in Gwyn, and goes to a school 30 minutes away.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, because they're better at sports. Didn't know that. Yeah. Yeah. You can transfer. Like, you can try to lottery into certain schools.

[Sizz]

The portal and pre.

[Lunchbox]

No, no, dude, they hit the portal in kindergarten.

[Sizz]

Son, have you ever thought about hitting the portal? I heard a hunter's lane is looking up.

[Lunchbox]

I have never seen so many parents stressed out about what school they're going to get into.

[Sizz]

Son, you want to hit the portal.

[Lunchbox]

To a privy because they. Wherever they live, wherever they live, they don't like that school, so they want to go to 110 minutes away in a different neighborhood.

[Sizz]

Why do you think the Dodds beelined it out of town?

[Lunchbox]

So they. You have to lottery in. You can't just, like, apply there. You apply and then you get lottery. I don't know exactly how they determine it, but everybody's like, are you freaking out about work? And I'm like, no, we're just going to school. We're going to, like, we. The one we are zoned for. We will be at that school. Don't worry about it. We're not. We're not doing this lottery crap. We're not trying to stress out. Like, we're getting into Harvard.

[Sizz]

The spurs get. Or the. The Mavericks get Cooper cup and we get Baby box.

[Lunchbox]

They drew the lottery ball in pre K, dude. It's for real. Like, 100%. I'm being serious. Like, people were like, oh, my gosh, this Monday. This Monday is when we find out this. This Monday I'm not gonna be able to sleep all weekend. And some of them get it back. And it was like, oh, man, we're number 50 on the wait list. Don't think we're gonna be able to get in. I'm like, wow, Roll the dice. Roll the dice. You don't get your top choice. But anyway, so he's very sad last night. Very emotional. Crying, upset, lashing out, which is not like Baby Box 2. He is the most chill dude. So he goes to bed, everything's great. 2:00am dad, dad, can you go potty with me?

[Sizz]

Well, you're about to get up for the show though, too.

[Lunchbox]

Well, at 2am I'm not about to get up. I still got two hours of sleep to go. And I'm like, yeah. And I go in there and he pees and he goes, dad, I think I'm gonna throw up. I think I'm gonna throw up. No, I'm like, no, no, no, no, no, no. This is your last day of school. Like, you can't be sick, dude.

[Sizz]

These kids are throwing up more now than the Vandy Bros on Broadway last night. And I'll hang up and listen.

[Lunchbox]

So he sits there and I'm like, bud, do you need to go poo poo? Maybe like, you have a tummy ache. I can try to go poo poo.

[Sizz]

Yeah, that's a reverse throw up.

[Lunchbox]

And he sits down.

[Sizz]

That's a backdoor throw up, son.

[Lunchbox]

And he has a bunch of gas. He goes, poo poo. We are good to go. We are good to go. And I'm like, all right, good. Get him back in bed. Get upstairs, go to sleep.

[Sizz]

You know what Dad's got to go to.

[Lunchbox]

No, no, Three o' clock, Three o' clock. I get a.

[Sizz]

That's about time for the show.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, I know. I got about an hour left to sleep. And I get a tap on the shoulder. Dad, Dad, I threw up a little bit in my bed. I'm like, what?

[Sizz]

Leave it for the maid.

[Lunchbox]

He goes, I threw up a little bit in the bed. I was like, all right, do you need to throw up more? Go in the bathroom. He goes, I don't need to throw up more, but I threw up a little bit in my bed. And I go, look at his bed and he's got a little throw up in there. So I'm like, all right, here, I'll get you a bowl out of the kitchen. And I put him in the guest room and put him in that bed and he goes to sleep. And 3:30, I hear the dinging of the bull and I'm like. And I hear. I run in there and he's thrown up a little bit. And then he comes and goes in our bathroom and he poops again. And now my wife is debating, what do we do?

[Sizz]

Yeah. And not being sexist, where was she? She sleeps with earplugs, Ray, you misogynist chauvinist pig.

[Lunchbox]

No, no, no, no. Trust me. I mean, I'm the one that has to get up for work. So I am very like, you can't get up. But she sleeps with earplugs. She sleeps with earplugs, an eye mask. She sleeps with all this crap because she thinks it's hard to sleep. What else?

[Sizz]

The bondage tape.

[Lunchbox]

No, I take that off before she goes to bed. Ray.

[Sizz]

Handcuffs too, but that's earlier.

[Lunchbox]

That's when she's not behaving. So she's having a debate. What does she do today? She's texting me like, do I take him? Do I not take him? Do I take him for the morning and then pick him up before rest time? But I don't want him to miss his last outdoor time. So my thing is, is he sick or. Or is he just nervous?

[Sizz]

Game time decision.

[Lunchbox]

And they're having a popsicle party today. And he's like, dad, I don't want to miss my popsicle party. And I'm like, yeah, I don't want you to miss your popsicle party either, but I don't want you to get sick and then tell them, tell you you can't come to graduation tonight. We got graduation tonight, right?

[Sizz]

If he gets sick, though, on the playground, that's legendary status. Those kids are going to remember that they will.

[Lunchbox]

They'll be like, remember on Baby Box 2's Last Day when he puked all over the freaking playground? And that could. That could be his signature moment at the school, is when he pukes on his best friend on the way out.

[Sizz]

You just never know how it's going to shake out. You really got to send him to school. Let the teacher. You know what? My name is Bennett. I ain't in it. My name's y' all. It's up to y' all teachers.

[Lunchbox]

I really. I kind of agree with you. I want him to experience the one last day. Like. Like yesterday when I went to pick him up and they were having snack time and they were in the classroom and we're leaving. He goes, dad, can we play the Monster game? And the Monster game is where I tell him, oh, I'm hungry and I want a kid sandwich. And I chase him around the playground. And sometimes I do it with his classmates when they're out there and they all go crazy. Monster game.

[Sizz]

Sure. The parents love that.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, it's a little weird when the other parents show up and I'm chasing them around and I'm not a teacher.

[Sizz]

Hey, you know what? Who cares?

[Lunchbox]

I'm in it. Not. What did you say?

[Sizz]

Cancel culture. You guys cancel yourselves.

[Lunchbox]

I'm Bennett, not in it.

[Sizz]

Yup. My name's Paul. It's up to y' all.

[Lunchbox]

There you go. And so I was like, yeah, bud. So we get, you know, Baby Box three out of his class.

[Sizz]

My name's Sid. Is that your kid? You know, stuff like that.

[Lunchbox]

That's good. That's really good. And we just had the playground to ourselves Yesterday. It was us, those two and me playing the Monster game. He was showing me Baby Box was showing Baby Box 2 was showing me his little trick of wrapping the swing all the way up. And then they have a little box they built out of little toys. You stand on it, you jump on the swing, and then it unravels. You get dizzy showing me all that. So it's just a moment. Yesterday when we had the playground to ourselves. And then that's what I'm thinking. Like, man, he's got to go to school today so he can experience the last of everything. We got to clean out his cubby. We got to get his blanket, his pillow, everything. I mean, this is huge.

[Sizz]

It's huge. Ain't gonna remember any of it.

[Lunchbox]

Probably not.

[Sizz]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

Probably not gonna remember any of it, but yes. So graduation tonight. What if he vomits on the stage?

[Sizz]

Man, they're Starting him young with these grad parties.

[Lunchbox]

No, no, they, they only graduate pre K. We don't do graduation for kindergarten. Like a lot of schools, there is no kindergarten graduation. So baby box did not have a graduation. He just walked out of school and that was the end of kindergarten.

[Sizz]

And, and here's the thing. When you get those kids up on the podium, I believe it's the bleachers, the stands maybe is what we called it. Let's just call it stands. When you get them on there. And I'm sure for graduation you have that. It's the first time you learn if you got any pukers in the grade because that's when I learned that was his name. Paul. Paul and Paul.

[Lunchbox]

It ain't y' all Paul.

[Sizz]

Paul. Yeah. That's when we learned that Paul was a puker.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, he.

[Sizz]

Everybody's normal in class. But when you get up on those podium, on those stretch out bleachers and you're standing in front of people, that's when you realize people get nervous and queasy. So put up or show up.

[Lunchbox]

Well, this one is more of a outdoor stage and they stand on one side, they call their name, they walk across stage and they go off. That's it. There's no standing up there. It's at a brewery. It lasts. The whole graduation ceremony lasts about seven minutes total.

[Sizz]

Well, one of the parents owns a brewery.

[Lunchbox]

No, genius.

[Sizz]

Sell some drinks.

[Lunchbox]

The parents, their kid used to go to this, this preschool and now they're, they're older and they're in school. But we still use the brewery as our graduation spot.

[Sizz]

All parents are going to get a couple drinks. You're going to make some money. And guess what? Later on kids are going to become alcoholics.

[Lunchbox]

So yeah, man, that's what we're dealing with. That's how I slept last night. Thanks for asking me. I really appreciate that.

[Sizz]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

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

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

Hey, I'm Dr. Maya Shankar. I host a podcast called A Slight Change of Plans. I started this show because unexpected change comes for all of us, and there's no set playbook for how to deal with it.

[Amanda Knox]

I have all of this psychological baggage that I'm carrying with me, and the last thing I want to do is to pass that on to my daughter. So I have to figure this out. This is this puzzle of my trauma. I have to figure it out and I have to figure it out now.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

Join me this season when I talk to Amanda Knox about her choice to reconnect with the prosecutor who help put her behind bars.

[Amanda Knox]

This is not about him. This is about me and what I am capable of giving. And I know that I am capable of being kind to this man. And by God, I am going to do it. And no one can stop me.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

Listen to a slight change of plans on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or. Or wherever you get your podcasts.

[Lunchbox]

Give it to me how I slept. No, give me. I. I don't. I figure you slept great.

[Sizz]

Slept good. I've been doing this new thing where I don't eat dinner, so I wake up hungry. So you're not mad about.

[Lunchbox]

Excuse me.

[Sizz]

Yeah, see, what. When you wake up, are you mad or happy?

[Lunchbox]

I'm just like, oh, man, I'm already awake.

[Sizz]

We're going to change that attitude with the Sisson camp at Sison headquarters. We do a new thing where we don't eat dinner. So you wake up famished and hungry and ready to start your day. So, Baser's, what do you want for dinner? I said, you know my new rule. I don't eat dinner an hour later. Hey, seriously though, do you want to go get some fast food or something? I'm starving. No, no. My new thing, Bazer, is I don't eat dinner. And so guess what? She didn't eat either last night. I didn't eat. We woke up starving to death. I had a yogurt, a protein shake, just ready to rock the day. But the sleep, it improves it because you don't got a bunch of food floating around your body all night. So I woke up at midnight. I said, ah, wake up a little bit later. 12:30. Wake up later.

[Lunchbox]

1.

[Sizz]

I just slept great. I could have woke up at midnight and felt fine.

[Lunchbox]

Huh.

[Sizz]

And then your shift, your three hours later. Little do we know you're going to have the throw up episode.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. And then I was really excited because I saw my wife bought some Honey Nut Cheerios a box. And I'm going to tell you what, Honey Nut Cheerios are delicious. Fantastic. You read them?

[Sizz]

Well, I'm going to join in with you, bro. I haven't had cereal in ten years.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, well, we don't get it that often for some reason. But she decided she was at the store. I think she took Baby box with her. And he convinced her, hey, let's get some cereal. So Honey Nut Cheerios. And I'm like, yeah. And I sit down, I pour a huge bowl all the way to the rim. All the way to the rim.

[Sizz]

Rim job, Ray.

[Lunchbox]

Rim job. Then I pour the milk in.

[Sizz]

Honey, you get that one.

[Lunchbox]

Pour the milk in. No, she's still in bed. When I'm eating and I start eating, it's regular Cheerios. Not even Honey Nut.

[Sizz]

That's almost pour out worthy.

[Lunchbox]

It's like, what a waste of time.

[Sizz]

Graham and Grandpa rest in peace. Love their souls. That's what gramps would try to do to us. Brutal. They got to be Honey Nut.

[Lunchbox]

They had. If they're not Honey Nut, then what are we doing? Like, why are we just doing regular Cheerios?

[Sizz]

Grandpa, at what point do I start eating non honey Cheerios and Grape Nuts? Good gosh.

[Lunchbox]

So it was an absolute waste of a breakfast. It was absolutely a disappointing moment when I thought, oh my gosh, I'm about to eat some Honey Nut Cheerios, have some delicious deliciousness in my mouth. And I had just plain old Cheerios. And I was like, well, that was disappointing, Ray.

[Sizz]

I was looking for some south in my mouth, start the weekend off.

[Lunchbox]

So yeah, that's how I started out my day. I mean, I started out my night bad, started out my morning bad. But then you tell me you got great news about Justin. So I, I, I'm excited.

[Sizz]

Thank you. So guys, he's playing beat the Streak. Listen to another episode. If you want to learn about the game quickly, you got to get 57 hitters in a row. You can take a day Off. You can do two at a time. They have to get a hit. You can pick anybody. You pick a pitcher, pick a catcher. Actual pitchers don't hit anymore, but they have to get one hit. Doesn't matter how they get it. Has to be scored a hit. Justin at 15, and he still has the opportunity to use his safety card. And what we Learned is between 10 and 15, you can actually pick two people and you'll still get safety at 15. So the most advantageous place in this entire game is at 15, because you can pick two guys, and if both of them miss or one of them miss, you still stay at 15.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, even if both miss. Yes.

[Sizz]

Wow. I did massive research and learned that for Justin.

[Lunchbox]

Thank you.

[Sizz]

And I'm still waiting for the text.

[Lunchbox]

To say thank you.

[Sizz]

Yeah. Because I did. I dig. I deep dived and went to a bunch of different players and saw other guys that picked two and see if they still had their streak saver by picking 2 and missing 2 at 15. But that's. I digress. Justin last night picks a guy for James Wood for the Nationals.

[Lunchbox]

Is it okay?

[Sizz]

A lefty? He's pretty good. He's a good, good little kid. And then you got one. One of the Oakland A's guys, well, they got smoked. Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

So should have picked a Blue Jay.

[Sizz]

So his James Wood guy went one for three. AI, we've been doing a little work with AI. AI said the smartest player to pick based on whip, walks, hits per innings pitched, era, stadium factors, is James Wood of the Nationals. And he got a hit. So A was correct.

[Lunchbox]

AI smart.

[Sizz]

Well, Justin decided to do his little algorithms, and he went with an Oakland A who has the worst offense in baseball. He got three at bats and got pulled from the game. He went over three. So Justin missed. He loses his golden dildo. His golden condom. I texted him this morning. I said, you are now without your golden dildo. You must raw dog all the way to 57. But he's still at 15. But he did not move from the last podcast.

[Lunchbox]

Wow.

[Sizz]

Buddy is holding on for dear life. He's top thousand in the world right now.

[Lunchbox]

That's pretty impressive.

[Sizz]

And he tells me he's going with Jose Ramirez, I believe. Guardians.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. Who do they play?

[Sizz]

No idea. But like the addict that he is, he texts me, I already know my next hitter, Jose Ramirez. I'm like, dude, take a day off.

[Lunchbox]

Take 10 minutes. Take 10 minutes to look and decide who you want, man. No need to make the decision right after you get beat.

[Sizz]

So root along with Justin.

[Lunchbox]

Jose Ramirez. We need a hit today. Let's see what. Let's see what time the Guardians play today.

[Sizz]

I haven't heard anything back from him. Oh, here we go. I will be at the pool for the next 48 hours.

[Lunchbox]

Now. And then. And then Boomer. You did some research on Boomer, which I thought was quite fascinating.

[Sizz]

Yeah. So Boomer finished his season, guys. He was pitching.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, they play the Angels today.

[Sizz]

And so watch along. And if you two want to do it, go to mlb.com it's not a promotion or whatever. Just do it. We have fun doing it.

[Lunchbox]

No, we don't. It's not fun. It's not fun because it's impossible and it's really freaking hard. Yeah.

[Sizz]

And remember when I told you guys about the 13 run game? I see on the Facebook pages they're still playing it. And it is so fun. And you guys are welcome because I told you about it.

[Lunchbox]

Now I am playing that game.

[Sizz]

It's a great.

[Lunchbox]

But here's the thing. I had no idea I had the Miami Marlins. So I didn't even look. I gave up. And all I need is 12 and 13 runs.

[Sizz]

That's pretty impressive because it is shocking that they got a 10 and 11.

[Lunchbox]

That's what I'm saying. I had no idea the Miami Marlins would keep me in this contest. Once they told me that I drew the Miami Marlins because it was random draw.

[Sizz]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

I never even looked back. I had no idea. And someone posted, man, I still need this for the win. I'm like, am I still alive? Can you send me the link? And they posted the link and I need 12 and 13 from the Miami Marlins.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

So.

[Lunchbox]

So, I mean, what a day.

[Sizz]

And if you guys want to follow along with that game at home, it doesn't matter who's running the pool. Literally in Google, just type in 13 run pool and you can choose the date that it started and it'll show you who's in the lead.

[Lunchbox]

Pretty fun.

[Sizz]

Have you done that? No, because that's how you can follow along. You're able to change the date as long as you know the exact date that they started.

[Lunchbox]

I don't know the date they started it. Why would I know that?

[Sizz]

Well, I don't know, but that's able. That's how it's then able to tell you who's gotten what runs.

[Lunchbox]

Let me tell you. Let me tell you about my organizational skills and when things start and when things end. I don't pay attention to anything. If I would have had team that I knew scored Runs like, let's say I had the Yankees or, you know, the Phillies or someone like that. I would have been dialed in. But when you give me the Miami Marlins, don't even care.

[Sizz]

So Boomer is playing high school baseball. He's a junior. He made first team, which is pretty outstanding accomplishment as a junior.

[Lunchbox]

You mean he made varsity?

[Sizz]

Yeah, he's been on the varsity team, but he made first team all conference.

[Lunchbox]

Got it.

[Sizz]

So that was pretty cool. Conferences or districts, divisions, whatever.

[Lunchbox]

So we called it districts, but. But I don't know, everybody's different.

[Sizz]

It makes you go state lines. It makes no sense. A, B, C level, A plus, B plus, I have no idea. But I decided to watch all of his games. They may have this app called game changer. So I'm able to see every pitch he's thrown the entire year. So I thought a very interesting and good metric is first pitch strikes.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, that's huge. I mean, Greg Maddox was always first pitch strikes. So if you're going to make it in the league, got to have a first pitch, first pitch strike.

[Sizz]

And in the majors, the best are in the 70 percentile range, the worst in the 60s. But to be in the majors, you really have to have a 60% rate of about 60%. And you can figure it. Just go MLB Savant.

[Lunchbox]

You have to have a 60% rate of 60%.

[Sizz]

60% rate of first pitch strikes.

[Lunchbox]

Thank you.

[Sizz]

So Boomer, May 1st. Westwood, 53%. Kingsford May 8th. They're pitching about once a week. Six, 69%. Gladstone, May 13th, 47%. Rudyard May 17th, 45%. Houghton May 21st, 31%. Oh, Manom May 28th, 86%.

[Lunchbox]

There we go.

[Sizz]

And that's it. It's a pretty short season. So overall, 104 batters faced, 54 first pitch strikes, 52%. To get in the majors, you need to get to 60%.

[Lunchbox]

So we need to up that a little bit. And maybe he was just being careful. Maybe it was their power hitter with runners on. He didn't want to lay one in there on the first pitch. You know, scenarios, create stats. So, I mean, it's a very good season. Did they win? Did they make the playoffs? How did Boomer do?

[Sizz]

Yeah, it all starts tomorrow. So they're going on to the playoffs tomorrow.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, so we still got more. Yeah.

[Sizz]

So that was just their ace?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, Boomers, the ace.

[Sizz]

I would say. Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

Holy crap.

[Sizz]

It just must be nice being a lefty.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, it must be.

[Sizz]

I mean, of all that, two things I noticed, dude never Threw more than two or three balls in a row.

[Lunchbox]

Pretty impressive the fact that you went back.

[Sizz]

No, I've been doing it all month.

[Lunchbox]

Oh.

[Sizz]

But I was a little behind. Caught up this morning.

[Lunchbox]

Sorry, I thought you did that in one night. No, I was like, dude, you need to get a life.

[Sizz]

Some of the camera angle because it's just a person putting their phone on the fence.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, that's it. And sometimes you can't tell.

[Sizz]

Well, no, no, no, I can tell pretty dang good. Sometimes the camera angle is brutal and it's shaking the whole time. But you know what? I do my due diligence and I get in there and I get the balls and strikes. Other times, it is a pimp angle. And I'm like, this is awesome. I wish I could watch in person. What do I want to do next year? I want to retire. I want to get a gun, and I want to gun every one of his pitches to see how fast he's throwing.

[Lunchbox]

But next year is senior year.

[Sizz]

Yeah, that's. It'll be my last shot of doing it if he never makes college.

[Lunchbox]

But you're going to have to go and watch his senior day. Right?

[Sizz]

That's why I want to. I want to graduate, retire. So I can go do that for the whole month of May.

[Lunchbox]

Well, I mean, no. Well, you'd have to do the podcast from remotely.

[Sizz]

Right?

[Lunchbox]

Because, I mean, I wouldn't be able to do this by myself. It'd be like, hey, how you doing today? Oh, I'm doing good. How are you? Oh, I'm doing good. How are you? I mean, that would be really weird. We'll take a break and we'll be right back.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

Hey, I'm Dr. Maya Shankar. I host a podcast called A Slight Change of Plans. I started this show because unexpected change comes for all of us and there's no set playbook for how to deal with it.

[Amanda Knox]

I have all of this psychological baggage that I'm carrying with me. And the last thing I want to do is to pass that on to my daughter. So I have to figure this out. This is this puzzle of my trauma. I have to figure it out, and I have to figure it out now.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

Join me this season when I talk to Amanda Knox about her choice to reconnect with the prosecutor who. Who helped put her behind bars.

[Amanda Knox]

This is not about him. This is about me and what I am capable of giving. And I know that I am capable of being kind to this man. And by God, I am going to do it. And no one can stop me.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

Listen to a slight change of plans on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

[Malcolm Gladwell]

Hello, hello, Malcolm Glaville here on this season of Revisionist History. We're going where no podcast has ever gone before. In combination with my 3 year old, we defend the show that everyone else hates. I'm talking, of course, about Paw Patrol.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

There's some things that really piss me.

[Sizz]

Off when it comes to paw Patrol.

[Lunchbox]

It's pretty simple. It sucks. My son watches Paw Patrol. I hate it.

[Malcolm Gladwell]

Everyone hates it except for me. Plus, we investigate everything from why American sirens are so unbearably loud to the impact of face blindness on social connection, to the secret behind Thomas's English muffins, perfect nooks and crannies. And also, we go after Joe Rogan. Are you ready, Joe? I'm coming for you. You won't want to miss it. Listen to Revisionist history on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

[Lunchbox]

Ray. Drama, drama, drama, drama. Let me tell you, man, Wednesday night, co ed soccer. It was playoff time. My team versus another team. If you win, you play a second game that night. And I look at the schedule, and we're up against a team that didn't win a game all year. They scored a total of four goals. Give up. Gave up 52 goals, only scored four. And I was like, oh, my gosh, we're gonna have two games on Wednesday night. So when I'm kissing the boys because it's 8:15, and then it would have been 9:15, and I'm kissing the boys. I'm leaving them like, love you, boys. Love you, boys. Love you, boys. They're like, dad, you're gonna be home real soon, right? I'm like, nah, bud, we're gonna have two games tonight. Two games. And I'd sent out the group text, hey, who's in? Who's out in In. In. Our goalie hadn't responded. So 11am Wednesday morning, I finally texted him individually. I said, hey, are you coming? He goes, I'm in. Good. All right.

[Sizz]

Are you C U M I N G?

[Lunchbox]

And then. No, that's not what I put. It's not what I put.

[Sizz]

Are you coming?

[Lunchbox]

And then Nicole says, hey, I got an extra girl sub. That way we have, you know, plenty of girls.

[Sizz]

Whoa. Nicole, the girl at Odie's, our friend. She's a bartender, brunette hair. Got a shelf on her.

[Lunchbox]

She has a shelf, but she doesn't work at Odie's.

[Sizz]

Different girl.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, different girl. And I'm like, sweet. So I roll up. James is there, and Nicole's there. And then her friend shows up. She's like, oh, here's my friend that I told you. And I was like, all right. Sweet. I was like, what's your name? And she was like, caroline. I'm. Nice to meet you. I'm like, so what position do you play? She goes, oh, I've never played soccer.

[Sizz]

This is the team we're fielding.

[Lunchbox]

I'm like, what? She goes, yeah, I just. I. I know Nicole plays. So I just thought it'd be fun to try it.

[Sizz]

Bro, you can get Bazer to play.

[Lunchbox]

And I get real quiet, and I kind of act like I'm stretching out. She goes, I think I scared him by telling him I don't play soccer. Said, no, no, I'm not scared. I'm not scared. It's cool. It's cool. It's cool. Don't worry about it.

[Sizz]

Did you say this is playoff time?

[Lunchbox]

I didn't want to put that pressure on her. I was just, like. I was, like, looking at Nicole, Like, I was trying to give Nicole a look, like, without giving her a look, like, what the hell are you thinking bringing someone that's never played soccer to playoff time? That makes sense.

[Sizz]

And if they can compete, says something about your league, raise it, or conference or division.

[Lunchbox]

So then it's just me, James, our goalie, shows up. That's Matt. We need one more, dude. Jordan's supposed to be there. Where's Charlie? Then we get a text from Jordan. Gonna be there right at game time. Running late.

[Sizz]

All right, Michael.

[Lunchbox]

All right. Cool, man. That's cool. Charlie. Anybody heard from Charlie?

[Sizz]

Check the chocolate factory. No, Coach, I'm just trying to get involved with this team. I don't know anybody about. Do you have anybody in this building that plays on your team? No, because I don't know a damn person from Adam. Charlie, I Thought I knew Nicole from odies.

[Lunchbox]

No. And so we hit Charlie, right? Hey, Charlie, are you, you parking right now or what? He responds, he goes, oh, I guess I didn't tell you guys, but I'm not gonna be able to make it.

[Sizz]

I've got Corona.

[Lunchbox]

Okay, well, there we are. Now we're down to no guy subs. If Jordan, when Jordan shows up, we got three guys for the whole night, is a goalie place goalie. Jordan shows up about 15 minutes into the game. And my strategy for this game is because they've only scored four goals all year, Ray. I said, listen, guys, we don't even need to run. We should just put a few in the back of the net and sit back and relax.

[Sizz]

You better run if you're going to play the Pacers.

[Lunchbox]

Boy, it couldn't have been more opposite, Ray. They jump out to a 1 nothing lead after scoring four goals all year. They jump out to a 1 nothing.

[Sizz]

Lead at short net turf. Yeah, bro, I could score a goal in that crap.

[Lunchbox]

Here's the problem.

[Sizz]

I would score on South Beach. He was a kicker and we would play in the apartment. I never played soccer. I'd score on his ass.

[Lunchbox]

It's great. He was a kicker, he wasn't a goalie.

[Sizz]

No, he played soccer, but he wasn't a goalie. Maybe that's how I was able to score.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. So then Jordan shows up and what is Jordan wearing?

[Sizz]

Banana thong.

[Lunchbox]

No, Crocs.

[Sizz]

He's like, blue combs, got all those little giblets on it.

[Lunchbox]

He says, hey man, does anybody got cleats? I forgot my cleats. How in the world as a grown ass adult do you forget your cleats?

[Sizz]

Been there.

[Lunchbox]

You know, you are going to a soccer game as an adult and you forgot your cleats. And so James luckily is like, I got an extra pair. And he goes, where are they? He goes and puts them on. Well, the problem is Jordan wears size 11, James is size 10. So Jordan's feet are crammed up in there hurting and he can't run. He's complaining. Then luckily, out of nowhere, Matt says, hey man, I got an extra pair if you want to go get him out of my car.

[Sizz]

I'm hung just like you, man.

[Lunchbox]

So it's one nothing. Them at the half, they're up one nothing. And this team has scored four goals all year. They haven't won a game. We have to win to advance.

[Sizz]

So say you guys are Liverpool, what team would you compare this to for our Premier League fans? Is this Northwich City?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Sizz]

Nottingham Forest.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, something like that.

[Sizz]

Okay, farther down.

[Lunchbox]

Way down there. All right, so we get one goal. It's tied 1 1. Then it's back and forth. I mean, we are running. We are exhausted.

[Sizz]

They're not as good as Chelsea.

[Lunchbox]

No.

[Sizz]

Or Arsenal.

[Lunchbox]

Right.

[Sizz]

Okay. Not in him.

[Lunchbox]

They're more to like. Okay. We. We are the.

[Sizz]

You're Liverpool.

[Lunchbox]

I would say we're the Ravens and they're more like the Browns.

[Sizz]

Okay.

[Lunchbox]

Or like the Titans.

[Sizz]

Who are you on the Ravens? You're Derek Henry. No, I'm more Ray, the kicker.

[Lunchbox]

Dicker Patrick Queen.

[Sizz]

Oh, Tucker.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, Tucker. No, no, no, no. I'm not Tucker, man. I'm not Tucker, man. I don't do the massages. Nope, nope, nope. Tucker's not on my team that I know about. No one on my team is Tucker that I know about. And, dude, this was supposed to be our easy game, and we are dead exhausted sprinting up and down the field trying to get a goal. They come down three on one. Gully blocks it, throws it out to Jordan. Jordan kicks it off their person trying to juke him, but it bounces off their leg. He gets a good bounce. He shoots. He scores.2 to 1. And after the ball goes in the net, the ref tweet, tweet, twee. He scored with two seconds to go to move us on in the playoff. But the problem is we got to play again. And we're playing a team that didn't have to play. They got a first round by, so they're just sitting pretty. They're not tired. We're exhausted. No guy subs.

[Sizz]

How many game or day break?

[Lunchbox]

Five minutes.

[Sizz]

Oh, geez.

[Lunchbox]

Five minutes. And I mean, the first game was supposed to be our easy game. We weren't going to run. We were going to just chill.

[Sizz]

That was your game plan?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, because they were. They'd only scored four goals all season.

[Sizz]

Ray, our game plan was to be absolutely as lazy as. Like.

[Lunchbox]

What?

[Sizz]

What game plan is that?

[Lunchbox]

No, no, literally, that was my game plan because I Literally.

[Sizz]

That's the worst game plan I've ever heard a coach lay out.

[Lunchbox]

No, it was. It was a great game plan because you think you're going to smoke this team. That is not very good because they've only scored four goals all year. So assume you're going to smack them and you're not going to have to worry about hustling and you're going to have so much energy for the second game. Instead, we're laid out on the side of the road Waiting for the next team going, oh, my God. How are we going to play this game?

[Sizz]

Hey, brother, you got a couple bucks.

[Lunchbox]

And we got no guy subs. Remember, we've been playing the whole. I played all 50 minutes, but you.

[Sizz]

That'S what you wanted back in the day. You didn't play all the time and you complained.

[Lunchbox]

James played all 50 minutes. And we got another 50 minute soccer game five minutes after that one.

[Sizz]

That's a lot of running.

[Lunchbox]

It's a lot of running.

[Sizz]

I really wish you were into technology and you'd wear a watch so I can know how many miles. I mean, are you rocking 20 miles doing or not 20 miles? I don't know if I'm rocking 20,000 steps.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, easily 20,000.

[Sizz]

Sheesh.

[Lunchbox]

How many steps are in a mile?

[Sizz]

I don't know. But typically a really high energy day. 20,000. Like when I did it, I was running with the baby. Running with Boomer back when he was 12 and he didn't sit on a couch all day. And I did 20,000 after the whole day of running.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. So I'd say I'd had to look, I'd had to. I could wear it.

[Sizz]

I mean, I'm getting you one for your birthday.

[Lunchbox]

No, I have one.

[Sizz]

I'm gonna get you one, dude.

[Lunchbox]

So we're like, oh, my God, I don't know how we're gonna do this. And we did exactly what we were supposed to do the first game. We spread out, we passed the ball. Passed the ball, didn't try to dribble it, didn't run. We score one goal, up one, nothing. Then me just observing. I noticed their big dude. He's huge. He likes to use his left foot only. So just stay on his left foot. Dare him to use his right foot. Won't do it. Other guy subs in. I see him make one pass. He turns his whole body to pass it with his left foot. Said, thanks, I know you're left footed. Don't have to worry about your right. So just stay on his right left foot and dare him to kick it with his right.

[Sizz]

I mean, that's. Yeah, that's strategy 101 wouldn't do it.

[Lunchbox]

We score a second goal, we score a third goal, we score a fourth goal, and then they score 1 4, 1, we win. And we are absolutely second half, let me tell you. Second half. We were doing a lot of kick the ball out of bounds and let it roll a little way so we could catch our breath just to waste some time because we were so freaking tired. Jordan had to go out. He was cramping. He had to go get stretched out on the sideline.

[Sizz]

So you were a man down.

[Lunchbox]

Well, a girl came in.

[Sizz]

Oh.

[Lunchbox]

And the girl that never played, she would come in and it was like we were playing a band down, you know, because she didn't know what she was doing.

[Sizz]

Was she decent?

[Lunchbox]

No, no, Ray. She couldn't kick the ball. She went to kick the ball one time, look at. And no. And she fell flat on her face. Literally, face planted into the ground. And the other team stopped to make sure she was okay. That's how. I mean, they had to stop the play because they were worried she was hurt.

[Sizz]

That sportsmanship.

[Lunchbox]

And she would get on the field and she'd be on for like three minutes. I'd look at the other girls on the side and be like, are you guys good? Get blondie off. Get blondie off. I was like, I appreciate her coming, but I'm here to win. Get blondie out. And it was amazing.

[Sizz]

I appreciate her aloe tank top and shorts athleisure, but she's not good at soccer.

[Lunchbox]

No, no. And after the game, I said, nicole, what the hell are you thinking? Like, what are you bringing a girl that's never played before? She goes, I don't know. She just. I. She said she wanted to play, Mike. Nicole, you got to do better.

[Sizz]

I mean, at that point, you guys are just looking for a warm body.

[Lunchbox]

But, hey, we were. But we're moving on. We're moving on to next week. And the boys will be there as we have marched all the way to the championship match. We are in the ship next Wednesday night at 7:15.

[Sizz]

Are you really?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Sizz]

That's CMA Fest. You sure that isn't that softball game?

[Lunchbox]

No softball games. Monday stadium is Thursday. Wednesday night, 7:15, the boys will be there. They will be face painted. And we are going for the ship.

[Sizz]

Is the team favorited or you guys.

[Lunchbox]

The team we're playing, they beat us in the regular season.

[Sizz]

Okay.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. So if that makes you.

[Sizz]

What part of town is that?

[Lunchbox]

It's on the Easter Eastern seaboard.

[Sizz]

I swing it. Dude, what time?

[Lunchbox]

7:15.

[Sizz]

I'm out. I go to bed at 5.

[Lunchbox]

Dude, it's right by our old crib.

[Sizz]

I get that.

[Lunchbox]

I don't know if the gas station might be closed.

[Sizz]

I'll go to Rosie Pepper.

[Lunchbox]

No, no, our gas station, it has to be. No, no, because the. The.

[Sizz]

I mean, you know, people were shot.

[Lunchbox]

No, no, The. The. The. The. The apartments across the street, they're empty. Like they're about to be bulldozed because.

[Sizz]

They'Re doing tall and skinnies.

[Lunchbox]

I don't know if they're rebuilding, doing something, upgrading them. I don't know what they're doing. I have to look at the plans, but they're absolutely empty.

[Sizz]

30 seconds to tell you this. Yeah, Baser. We went to the mall in Green Hills. And then when she gets me in the car and she lets me go to a sports bar at the mall, then she knows she can just totally play with me. And we had agreed to the mall and she decided to go to a TJ Maxx painted door. And we ended up in our old neighborhood. Oh, the. It took us to some TJ Maxx on the exact same street we used to live on. And I said, go right. Just, I can't see this neighborhood anymore. Please go straight. No, we're not going on Cahal. No, go right. We're not going that way to T.J. maxx. Thank God. She makes a left, right, left. Gets back on Douglas and out of there. It was terrifying being back in that area. I see the ymca. Margaret Maddock, she goes. Who would work out there? Well, me. Yeah, Me. I did for an entire year. It was the worst gym ever. Hey, there was nobody under 50.

[Lunchbox]

That brand new gas station that sells pizzas. I stopped there after the game, stopped there, got some drinks because I was so dang thirsty.

[Sizz]

On the corner.

[Lunchbox]

On the corner, man.

[Sizz]

That was built when we were there.

[Lunchbox]

It got built while we were there. And the homeless are still there. Hey, hey, man. Hey, just if you can bless me on the way out. Bless me, man.

[Sizz]

And that. That hot. I believe it's a pork missile. Or do they have. They have missiles for sure. And nachos. Or on the corner is still there.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. How it is right there on the corner. It's a good location.

[Sizz]

I can't believe. Of all the businesses that stay in business, that one.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, amazing, dude. It was memory lane. Memory lane. We'll take a break. We'll be right back.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

Hey, I'm Dr. Maya Shankar. I host a podcast called A Slight Change of Plans. I started this show because unexpected change comes for all of us, and there's no set playbook for how to deal with it.

[Amanda Knox]

I have all of this psychological baggage that I'm carrying with me, and the last thing I want to do is to pass that on to my daughter. So I have to figure this out. This is this puzzle of my trauma. I have to figure it out, and I have to figure it out now.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

Join me this season when I talk to Amanda Knox about her choice to reconnect with the prosecutor who helped put her behind bars.

[Amanda Knox]

This is not about him. This is about my me and what I am capable of giving. And I know that I am capable of being kind to this man. And by God, I am going to do it. And no one can stop me.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

[Malcolm Gladwell]

Hello, hello, Malcolm Glaville here on this season of Revisionist History. We're going where no podcast has ever gone before. In combination with my 3 year old, we defend the show that everyone else hates. I'm talking, of course, about Paw Patrol.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

There's some things that really piss me.

[Lunchbox]

Off when it comes to Paw Patrol. It's pretty simple. It sucks. My son watches Paw Patrol. I hate it.

[Malcolm Gladwell]

Everyone hates it except for me. Plus, we investigate everything from why American sirens are so unbearably loud to the impact of face blindness on social connection, to the secret behind Thomas English Muffins, Perfect nooks and crannies. And also, we go after Joe Rogan. Are you ready, Joe? I'm coming for you. You won't want to miss it. Listen to Revisionist history on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

[Lunchbox]

Dude, are the NBA finals ever gonna start? Like, I thought the Pacers had already wrapped up the series. I didn't realize they played last night. They got blowed out. I mean, what are we doing that's good.

[Sizz]

We want game six. We want game seven.

[Lunchbox]

They're not even fun to. I mean, I guess the first few. But last night is blowed out city.

[Sizz]

At least I get a Saturday night game.

[Lunchbox]

I turned it on and it was. They were down by 30. I was like, well, no need to watch that. Cool. It was like the second or third quarter and I did like, kids got to bed. And I was like, all right, let me see what's going on in the game. Well, now what am I going to.

[Sizz]

Watch with the run and gun three pointer? I thought about it. The reason it's changed the game is teams can now and if they are hot, if they are cooking, as the kids say, you have the potential to blow a team out by 40. And that has happened several times in these NBA playoffs. I mean, the Thunder game wasn't even close.

[Lunchbox]

That's what I was gonna say. They blew him out by like. They blowed him out. Blowed out by like 40 again.

[Sizz]

See, I want a game seven in Madison Square, but I just think the Pacers at home on a Saturday night, that place is gonna be in fuego.

[Lunchbox]

Now. That would be game seven at Madison Square Garden. I would sign up for that.

[Sizz]

Thank you.

[Lunchbox]

I would love that.

[Sizz]

We're sports historians and you don't want a game seven at Madison Square Garden.

[Lunchbox]

I didn't say I don't want one. I'm just saying is it really gonna get there?

[Sizz]

You ever been in Madison Square Garden? No, I've been outside of it.

[Lunchbox]

So have I. Dude.

[Sizz]

A block away and you can feel the aura.

[Lunchbox]

I walked right by it.

[Sizz]

That's a powerful venue. Titan Nissan Stadium, you know, you got the. You kind of almost. You actually feel like a vagrant when you walk past it. But Madison Square, the Garden, that's the home of basketball. That's a powerful venue. Can you imagine walking to a game? Any game, dude. Madison Square, baby. You're not a fan.

[Lunchbox]

I don't know if I even like it. I mean, it's fine. It's awesome.

[Sizz]

Maybe if the fans know how to cheer.

[Lunchbox]

Well, they know how to cheer. I understand that.

[Sizz]

The guy gets a three pointer, the fans start rising to their feet. Yankee Stadium, Madison Square, they know Rucker park, dude, they know how to root on a game.

[Lunchbox]

What the hell does Yankee Stadium have to do with Rucker Park?

[Sizz]

They know when to cheer. Oh, this isn't Colorado Rockies. That's have an avalanche. The Rockies are in the playoffs. This isn't C. Barnum and Bailey circus playoffs. They know when to cheer. They know when to root. They know when to be funny. The. The crowds in New York are barn on the best. And I'll hang up and listen. So don't say we don't want a game seven.

[Lunchbox]

No, I want a game seven.

[Sizz]

But they have to get past it.

[Lunchbox]

I literally thought the series was over. And I saw last night they were playing, I was like, oh, let me Turn it on down 30. Okay, you can turn that off. Thanks for that. That was entertaining.

[Sizz]

Brunson cooked Halliburton, efficiency wise, had the most efficient game in the history of college and professional basketball. I believe it was even more efficient than Jokic when he got 30, 20, 20 and had like some efficiency. Point total of 50. Halliburton was in the 40s the other game. You knew he was going to fall off and he did in a big way. Yeah, he had a horrible game.

[Lunchbox]

And then I get the terrible news that college football is looking at a five plus 11 model. Five highest ranked conference champions, plus 11 at large. Here we go. Everybody gets in. This is about to get so boring.

[Sizz]

I'm fine. I'm fine. I'm balls deep right now. In Heisman there is about a litany of players that I've never heard of. The only guys I've heard of is Arch Manning, Garrett Nussmeier and Klub. Nick, because he's supposed to win the Heisman like three years ago.

[Lunchbox]

Other than that, you know where he went to school, right? Texas Westlake.

[Sizz]

Outside of those cast of characters, I have no idea who these guys are. Talk about some turnover. You got Drew Alar broke his leg one day and now he's in the race for to win the Heisman. You know, it's quarterback central. You got a guy, you got the. The guy they always talked about being 17. You got a wide receiver for Ohio State. You got a wide receiver for Alabama. Those two guys, the Williams guy, the Williams and Williams. And then you got saying, just saying. He, he's up there, Ohio State, new quarterback. Other than that, I don't know who these kids are. We know it's not going to be a defensive player that wins the Heisman. It's never a wide receiver.

[Lunchbox]

I mean, last year Illinois would have been in the playoffs. In college football, oh my God. Right now they're 10 and 4. Whoa, that's that screens. Let me watch that. I can't freaking wait.

[Sizz]

Guys, I have done some very rudimentary metrics and calculation. I say Club Nick Clemson has a pretty easy schedule. They play LSU first game of the year. If there is somebody as kubnick 8.

[Lunchbox]

Times your money and people. Oh, you don't like March Madness? In college football and college basketball are totally different animals. Five guys on the court is way different than 11 beasts on a football field. Five on five on a basketball court. One guy gets hot and. And you can upset the big dog. It's that easy. Football there is. It's not the same animal like the parody in college football is nothing compared to in college basketball. Basketball is a different animal. We don't need 16 because after 16 we're going to go to 24. Then we're going to go to 32. Do we really need that many college football teams in the playoffs? Do we really think Illinois deserves to be in the playoffs? Iowa State, do we really think they need to be in the playoff? Come on. It is so gross. Nothing is going to matter in the regular season. Nothing. You can have three to four losses and get in the playoff. This is going to be so fun. Yay.

[Sizz]

And. And guys, I don't know if any of you guys bet anymore. I don't know it. It's whitewashed the entire country frankly. But if you are thinking about it, there is a futures bet that is just ripe for the taking right now.

[Lunchbox]

Callaway to win most improved at coaches convention five.

[Sizz]

Justin said unless somebody dies and comes back from the dead, Callaway is a lock at minus 1000 to be comeback coach of the year.

[Lunchbox]

That's funny.

[Sizz]

He text me that every day.

[Lunchbox]

That's really funny.

[Sizz]

Unless somebody goes it becomes a corpse is revived in the ER room. Calloway is an absolute lock as compact coach of the earth at convention.

[Lunchbox]

That's really funny. That's really funny.

[Sizz]

I mean unless somebody is pronounced dead, about to be put in the ground and they come back, they will not win.

[Lunchbox]

That's really funny. Oh man.

[Sizz]

Wanted to say this. Caitlin Clark, she's hurt for two weeks guys and her odds keep dropping. She was even money to win MVP. Now it's plus 300. Some places have it plus 500. There's only three girls that can win it. Asia Wilson, Nafisa Collinser and Caitlin Clark. Asia Wilson won it last year. There's rarely a repeat winner and she's not even having as good a year ne Collier. Guys, she's just having a great start. That's it. Caitlin Clark is your MVP and you're going to win four times your money you got and you don't have to do it even right now, save up, wait another couple paychecks because she's not going to be back for another two weeks.

[Lunchbox]

This is the time to bet. If you're going to bet because when she comes back the odds will go down.

[Sizz]

That's what I'm saying. So in the next two weeks, save up your money. Don't eat, don't, don't, don't go out and have that drinks with the boys, the wife or the Girls, I'm saying you're going to go have a fancy Italian dinner or are you going to stay at home and have Fazoli? Let's do that. So save your money. Caitlin Clark, mvp I have no idea why the betting sites have pushed it to like five times your money.

[Lunchbox]

Also got talk about disappointments. Not only was I disappointed with my non honey nut Cheerios this morning, Survivor season 50 cast, they hyped it up like it was going to be a celebration of the 50 season, the 49 seasons of Survivor. And we have like a few from the beginning of Survivor and then we have like 15 players from the last 10 years of Survivor.

[Sizz]

Who is it? Richard Hatch. Better build a wheelchair ramp on the island.

[Lunchbox]

He's not on it. But someone Jenna from the first season is on there or something. But it's like they have three people from this past season, season 48, like, that's way too many to have from season 48. I don't understand.

[Sizz]

The shows are notorious for doing that. Big Brother, that an All Star in 19 and Big Brother 6, Big Brother 7, Big Brother 8. Big Brother 7 was All Stars. They had five Big Brother Sixers on. They just bring the people on from the previous year because they're already in that rotation of doing it. It's easier for the producers.

[Lunchbox]

I see what you're saying. And I thought the same thing is that the people that are older, like the earlier seasons, they're older now, so it's harder for them to get away. They may have jobs, kids, they may just be older like physically. And these new people, these are what the people remember. So maybe we wouldn't remember some of those people. But it's like you said, it was going to be a celebration of all time. So bring Boston Rob, Sandra, bring all these huge names from all the years instead of cramming like 15 out of the last eight years down our throat. Three people from last season, it wasn't that good of a season. I mean, it was a good season, but to have three out of the 24 for season 50 out of that one season.

[Sizz]

Well, and imagine call as a producer. Hey, John. Hey. Yeah. You were on last season of Survivor yet? So you ain't been doing right. Okay, well then, hey, if your schedule is still cleared out from last season, you've been doing some press and speaking appearances where you get like a couple hundred bucks and now it's probably dwindled. You want to do a season again, it's very easy to do that.

[Lunchbox]

That may be. You may be right. They're bringing back two winners. A bunch of them have made the final tribal council. They have. Season 49 will air in the fall. Two people from that season are coming.

[Sizz]

Well, and I'm actually going to give you some info here. You're going to find this interesting. Not just the truck drivers.

[Lunchbox]

What about Tug Butters?

[Sizz]

Nah, they're tugging along.

[Lunchbox]

Can I just tell you batters box's favorite segments? What up, everybody? It's batters box. Here is when we talk survivor, he loves it.

[Sizz]

Batter the box. You're gonna love this insight. I heard from the big brother people. They'll reach out to a ton of people. They get turned down by a ton of people because ain't nobody that is in their kush little job or career gonna be making more money going on can Survivor. So I'll tell you, the stipend ain't that great. The food, they can afford groceries. Tons of them. Turn them down until survivor sweetens it. Hey, we'll give you this much more money until. And then there's. I've heard from the big brother people. They'll say, hey, well, I'll come on if you bring this person so you can do that as well. There's a lot of grimy stuff that goes on behind the scenes, but it's. I know you love your survivor. Maybe it's not that coveted as it was.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, it's still coveted.

[Sizz]

But I'm, I'm telling you that you're seeing the people that accepted show the list of the people that said go yourself. I have a six figure job and I'm banging a supermodel. I'm not going to go eat dirt for a month.

[Lunchbox]

Good point.

[Sizz]

Yeah. My girls face down right now. What am I going to go live with a bunch of animals for two months?

[Lunchbox]

Not shower, not brush my teeth? Boston. Boston Rob. Popping, you know, good point. And then, and then this is the first time they've ever announced the cast before. So are these cast members now dming each other? Hey, we need to work together. Hey, we need to get together. We need, we need me and you if we're on the same alliance.

[Sizz]

Yeah, they all do that. Plans change once you get punched in the face. But big brother, all the seasons usually decide to work together. Season six and big brother, they went in hot to all stars, ended up losing it, but they were all a team for the longest time.

[Lunchbox]

I just got an Update. Baby Box 2 is thrown up twice this morning.

[Sizz]

Ah, man. Well, sorry, ma' am.

[Lunchbox]

His last day, man, it's. It's like back when I. I believe mine was first grade. I missed the last day of first grade because I got chickenpox. First day, last day of first grade. I wasn't at school because I had chickenpox. Rough, man.

[Sizz]

But there's nothing you can do about it, man. Justin. You want me to text Justin? What's a cure for vomit?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, I mean, he's got graduation tonight, dude. We got to get him better. We gotta. We gotta pump him full of liquid.

[Sizz]

You need to see if they have in town one of those, you know, for the drunks. They have the iv. Yeah, Maybe a kid iv.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, they could do that.

[Sizz]

Yeah, they come over with some Skittles and some Sour Patch Kids.

[Lunchbox]

All right, everybody have a good weekend. I'll let you know if we make it to graduation. Dang, this is sad.

[Sizz]

Guys, all eyes on Jose Ramirez tonight. Or Justin the Great has fallen and he is now called the Hits Merchant. And he goes, would you please always call me that. That's a badass nickname.

[Lunchbox]

Okay, Hits Merchant. You're such an idiot. Hey, coachers.

[Sizz]

The Free Throw Merchant.

[Lunchbox]

There's a deep cut, but is there any way you have audio from when Ray interviewed Kevin James?

[Sizz]

No.

[Lunchbox]

No, sorry. Sorry, Edward.

[Sizz]

Dude, I tried finding it. I don't know why I never saved it. And they deleted a lot of stuff in our system. We're trying to not get canceled.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. All right, man. What a weekend. All right, have a good weekend. Are you gonna stop it?

[Sizz]

Basically, I was like, hey, this is Kevin James promoting my movie. Hey. And this is me. Hey, man, was I able to ping from Texas to the aquarium all the way over to you in the zoo? Yeah, I guess so. This is Kevin James talking about my movie. What's up?

[Lunchbox]

What do you want?

[Sizz]

And I go. And I go, what do you want? He goes, well, you're interviewing me. I go, hey, man, are you still fat like you heard Kung Fu Panders?

[Lunchbox]

He said, it's kind of confusing. Which one of you is the panda?

[Sizz]

Then there was a hang up pretty close after that. Hey, man, I was watching your new movie. Love it. But I got confused at one point between you and the panda. Oh, my gosh, you can't do that anymore. That had got me canceled. He hanged up, just pissed on.

[Lunchbox]

You told him. You told him you confused him for the.

[Sizz]

At one point, the interview just stopped. And I go, what do you want? And he goes, you're interviewing me.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, yeah.

[Sizz]

And then he thought he'd already got hit over the head, and I hit him with a Fat joke on the way out. Like, dude, that was just such low hanging fruit. What was I doing?

[Lunchbox]

You said, what do you want? Like, what? What? Great interview tactic.

[Sizz]

I didn't realize you have to continue an interview going on. You can't just hit him with what do you want?

[Lunchbox]

What a great interview tactic. Say what do want? And then compare them to a panther.

[Sizz]

And then he goes like, is this serious? Or. All right, man. You know what? All right, Q man. And hangs up. Then hits me with one of these.

[Lunchbox]

He said, is this you being serious?

[Sizz]

Hey, man, we promoted the heck out of that movie though.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, man, it's still getting run all these years later. I got tears. I got tears. Oh, man.

[Sizz]

And then at the very end, I go, quote for quote, I go, at the very end of it. Do you remember what I said? I look over at you because you were in the room and I go, is that bad? I just remembered that in my head. I kind of thought it was good. What was I thinking?

[Lunchbox]

Hey, hey. We just had Kevin James on and he was on for a total of 28 seconds. Was that bad? Oh, my God. So stupid.

[Sizz]

Bones was so pissed.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, my God. I'll never last hour in my life.

[Sizz]

And I think I got banned from the show for like two months or something. Good times.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, Kevin James. I guarantee he remembers that interview.

[Sizz]

Check out that movie, guys.

[Lunchbox]

Hey, how great would it be if we got him on a gimmick? Hey, man, remember.

[Sizz]

This little 24 year old was just beating you over the head on an interview.

[Lunchbox]

There's no way. There's no way that has ever happened to him in all of his life. No one compared him to the panda dude.

[Sizz]

I was cracking one liners at his expense. He's the movie star.

[Lunchbox]

Like, wait a minute. I'm supposed to be cracking the one. Oh, man, that's so funny. Oh, my gosh.

[Sizz]

We got to go.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, we got to go. On June 6, I'd like to go hunting the greatest action franchise of the past decade.

[Sizz]

How do I start doing what you do? Reloads. Looks like you already have.

[Lunchbox]

From the world of John Wick, ballerina.
