Key Topics and Discussion Points

1. Friday Traditions and Marriage Realities

Timestamps: 02:00 – 05:18

• Bazer and Lunchbox open the show by discussing how little traditions (like a “Happy Friday” text) change once you're married.
• Bazer values the “Friday kick-off text” from his wife as the official stress-free start to the weekend, something Lunchbox admits he’s never experienced.
• Quote:

  “It's the text that starts the weekend. Once you say that, boom, that means no worries. We're not talking about bills, we're not talking about obligations.” — Bazer (02:47)

• Reflection on how work-life balance shifts with marriage and busier career schedules.

2. Fantasy Football Woes and Banter

Timestamps: 06:23 – 17:03

• Lunchbox recounts a rough fantasy week: wrong player drops, surprise high-scorers, and getting dominated in point totals before Sunday even arrives.
• Quote:

  “All I had to do was leave Wandell Robinson. Like, I could have dropped someone else. But no, I choose Wandell Robinson and immediately — touchdown. Okay, rub it in my face, mother…” — Lunchbox (08:01)

• Discussion about the ups and downs of managing a fantasy team and why fantasy is still relevant even in the age of legalized sports gambling.
• Bazer shares how co-managing a team with Justin has changed his approach, prioritizing analytics over big names.
• Light ribbing about letting friends (or listeners) win just to keep leagues inclusive.

3. Letdowns and Getting “Bigger Better Dealed”

Timestamps: 22:37 – 33:39 / Main story arc

• The show’s namesake story: Lunchbox details an awkward encounter with his boss, who offers to golf together only to bail without notice for a flashier golf date in Connecticut—flying out on a private jet.
• Real-time reactions: Lunchbox’s anticipation, getting a notification the boss is golfing in another state, and sending a text to confirm (and getting a belated apology).
• Quote:

  “He told me yesterday right here in the hallway, hey, I can play tomorrow. And I said, oh, I could too. And he goes, dude, so after the show, probably about 12:30. And I was like, that would be great...and as I, I'm sitting here now he's on hole number four in Connecticut.” — Lunchbox (26:58)

• Bazer’s advice: fight back with fake tee times of your own—the “Bigger Better Deal” arms race.
• The sting and humor of being low on the social totem pole emphasized.
• Quote:

  “No, no. Not only am I odd man out, that he got this. Cool. Obviously something happened, but he didn't even have the thought, oh, you know what, I need to text Lunch and let him know I'm out.” — Lunchbox (31:04)

4. Awkward Social Hierarchies & Office Relationships

Timestamps: 33:39 – 46:07

• The Sore Losers reflect on how bosses or higher-ups sometimes treat lunch invitations or friendly gestures casually, while employees may take them to heart.
• Lunchbox wonders whether his boss ever genuinely intended to play or was just making polite conversation.
• Broader discussion on how “the other half lives”—comparing country club cultures, private jet invites, and what’s lost or gained by chasing exclusivity.
• Fun speculation about celebrity golf companions: would you actually enjoy a surprise trip with famous artists, or would it just be awkward?

5. Family Life: The Naked Sleepwalker Mystery

Timestamps: 36:12 – 41:12

• Lunchbox narrates a hilarious late-night family story: discovering his son asleep naked after peeling off pajamas during a sleepwalking bathroom trip.
• Quote:

  “I walk in the hall, there's his pajama shorts. Homeboy's sleeping butt naked...And I'm like, what in the world is he sleeping naked for?” — Lunchbox (38:03)

• Classic family banter, with Bazer chiming in about future storytelling potential and kid logic.

6. Betting Locks and Weekend Sports Preview

Timestamps: 47:21 – 50:39

• Lunchbox delivers his NFL picks for the weekend: Broncos -7.5 vs. Jets, Steelers -6 vs. Browns, Jaguars +1.5 vs. Seahawks.
• Quick scan through the college football slate.
• Bazer shares his lock:

  “My lock is… it's gonna be good old fashioned football fun. Red river rivalry is gonna be epic if that kid is playing mater.” — Bazer (49:35)

---

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• On the pain of fantasy football second-guessing:

  “It's like, you know, you got guests coming over and you don't really realize what you're throwing in the trash. You just pick up stuff and start throwing stuff in closets and under the bed...then the next day you're like, wait, where'd that lottery ticket go?” — Lunchbox (14:44)

• On social hierarchies:

  “That lets you know where you're at on the totem pole. And I wonder if it hit him when I texted, or did he hope that I was just going to forget about golf and it was not going to have to be awkward… I'll say 100%. He gapped it.” — Lunchbox (42:06/42:59)

• On relationship rituals fading:

  “It's weird. Once you get married, things change, isn't it? Like you don't do the same stuff, you don't talk the same way, you don't show the same kind of actions towards each other.” — Bazer (02:07)

---

Episode Flow & Listener Takeaways

• The Sore Losers’ casual banter and story sharing make even “first world problems” relatable and entertaining.
• The bigger, better deal theme strikes a chord with anyone who’s ever been “bumped” by a boss or friend, with the show gently poking fun at social dynamics and the pain of missed opportunities.
• Balanced with sports analysis, playful ribbing, and real-life family mishaps, the episode maintains an upbeat but self-deprecating tone.

Listen to Decoding Women's Health with Dr. Elizabeth Poynter on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcasts.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Bazer]

Woo hoo.

[Lunchbox]

Man, I gotta say, it's Friday. Gotta get down, gotta get down on Fri. Yay.

[Bazer]

Bays are always used to text me when we were dating. First out. Hey, happy Friday. Now that text never comes in, man.

[Lunchbox]

It's weird. Once you get married, things change, isn't it? Like you don't do the same stuff, you don't talk the same way, you don't show the same kind of actions towards each other.

[Bazer]

I think she's just busy as balls. She starts Working now. 5:30am she's rocking it now you just get comfortable because then I'll say it. I never let the day go by without saying it. I'm not just going to go home, be like, oh, hey, happy Friday. There's always a text that starts the weekend. So I'll give it like three hours. And if she doesn't say anything, then I'm like, it's in Fry.

[Dr. Elizabeth Poynter]

Yay.

[Bazer]

But still waiting for that. It hasn't come in yet.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, I don't ever get that from my wife. I don't think I ever got it from her in the first place.

[Bazer]

We have done it for 12 years. Because it's the text that starts the weekend. Once you say that. But boom, that means no worries. We're not talking about bills, we're not talking about obligations. That's. That text starts it all Friday. So it's just like, it would be weird then if I was like, hey, just so you're aware, I want to start. I want to. Something work related or something family related. No. Unless it's an emergency. But once that text come in, it's the weekend, bro. You don't bring any stress.

[Lunchbox]

So you go, less stress, more life. Once you get the text that says.

[Bazer]

It'S Friday, like she could say, now, hey, can you change the oil on my car? That's fine. But once that text comes in, fry, it's the weekend. So then you can't throw any work on the other person.

[Lunchbox]

That sounds like a great little standard. I kind of like that. I may adopt that 10 years into my marriage. I may need to go home and tell my wife, hey, it's Friday. Once it's Friday, you can't ask me to do anything work related.

[Bazer]

Like there's been stuff throughout the week we've talked about. Her dad said maybe our fridge outside was leaking. I took care of that. And then I think her dad's maybe going to hang something up this weekend. So that was already prearranged. But once that line of demarcation text happens, there's no, oh, hey, can you go take this to the dry cleaning? No, because it's already started. That means the drinking's allowed, swearing is allowed. Every TV in the house is going to be on for the next three days. All that is allowed, Man, I don't know that.

[Lunchbox]

I mean, I've never had an official start to the weekend. I just always, when I get home, I'm always like, well, it's the weekend.

[Bazer]

That's why I haven't got the text yet. So I'm like, okay, so you're not in that mode. Well, she's not. She must be hammering out emails, doing these redactments and PDF files she gets. So she's not in fry mode yet. It's still work week.

[Lunchbox]

Why is she working so early nowadays? Does she get done earlier? Is he. She just super busy? Does she get paid by the hour? Like, what is the deal? Not money tight?

[Bazer]

No, not paid by the hour. I will say she's busier at this job right now than she's ever been. Oh, they keep acquiring new clients and they redact a ton of stuff. And she's also training somebody and they're growing so much. I think she's can. She's now picking people that she can hire.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, she can hire people?

[Bazer]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

Like, do they have to be in her neighborhood or can they be anywhere?

[Bazer]

Arnold.

[Lunchbox]

I was thinking we could get Arnold a job.

[Bazer]

I only work Tuesday through Thursday. Freaking weekend starts Thursday, baby.

[Lunchbox]

Like, what? Tell me what she does.

[Bazer]

It's evolved.

[Lunchbox]

Maybe we can. Maybe some people in sore losers Nation are needing a job and we could get baser to hire them.

[Bazer]

At one point it was businesses get a tax credit depending on the employees they have and how and the help they've gotten from the government and if there's certain stimulus checks out or something. That was what it was at one point. Now it has something to do with if people can get rehired. And it's the businesses she deals with because they send her all kinds of files. She'll deal with a hundred files and. And she has to go in and redact a bunch of stuff and then file it with the state and see if they get a credit. I think I should know better. I'll ask her.

[Lunchbox]

Thank you. Because I'm trying to see, you know, like, maybe something like Locker is tired of being a lawyer and he wants to do this for a living. He could hit you up.

[Bazer]

But I do know they're strict. So there's no Internet you can't get on fantasy football. Oh, yeah.

[Lunchbox]

So you can't scour the Internet while you're working.

[Bazer]

So here at work, you know, we sometimes go over to espn.com. can't do that in. In her line of work.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, well, fantasy football's stupid anyway, so we won't even. Who cares about fantasy football? Like, we don't care about that anymore. Like that's over.

[Bazer]

No, no, we care about it. Especially after the scatter Boo puts up three tugs.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, no, don't worry about me. I'm sitting there and I'm like, oh, Brock Purdy is not going to play this week, but they haven't ruled him out. So he's on my IR and it won't let me submit a lineup until I get him off of ir. Right. So what I'm like, ah, you know what? I'm. Let me just drop Wandell Robinson real quick and I'll have Brock Purdy on my roster. Oh, Wandell Robinson had 80 yards, seven catches, a touchdown. So great. That was great coaching move by me. And then, oh, wait, the guy I'm playing, who does he have? He has Jalen Hurts. Okay, cool. Jalen hurts didn't do that much. Oh, but who's his tight end? Dallas Goddard, who had nine catches for 110 yards and a tug. And so after Thursday night, I've already. I'm already done. Like I'm down 55 to nothing.

[Bazer]

That's a whole. How does that happen on a wacky Thursday?

[Lunchbox]

Exactly.

[Bazer]

Thursdays used to be known for being boring, but actually there's good teams this year.

[Lunchbox]

There Thursdays used to be for low scoring. Your fantasy guys get no points. But no yesterday. Catch Goddard. Catch Goddard. Goddard catch, catch. Got. I mean it was like, what are we doing? And I'm just so depressed. Like, all I had to do was leave Wandell Robinson Lee. Like I could have dropped someone else. But no, I choose one Dell Robinson and immediately touchdown. Okay, rub it in my face, mother.

[Bazer]

That's what I was telling Abby Arnold's wife. Girlfriend. I was telling her because she was saying she puts $1 on four teams. She tries to win some money.

[Dr. Elizabeth Poynter]

And.

[Bazer]

And I said, well, you could do the anytime touchdown or first touchdown. I said, sometimes it's just a random dude. So put. If you're going to do it, do a dollar on the most. One of the most random players to.

[Lunchbox]

Score a touchdown you got to do.

[Bazer]

The longer would have been Wandell Robinson.

[Lunchbox]

No Jackson Dart scored the first TD.

[Bazer]

That was probably pretty random.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, it was like 18 to 1.

[Bazer]

See that? I wonder if she took my advice. I got to ask her.

[Lunchbox]

She probably didn't. She probably put Saquon, which she made like 20. Would have made 20 cents. Jayla hurts 8 cents. I mean, it's just so frustrating last night watching Wanda Robinson get catch after catch and Goddard get catch after catching. And I was just like, good grief. What are we doing? So yeah, I don't care about fantasy football. The all I do is win is falling apart. We lost last week to a guy that played Chubba Hubbard. So he got a zero because Hubbard was hurt and he still worked my. And now I'm already down 55 to nothing and it's just like wow, two weeks in a row. Here we go after starting out four. No, the sink. The ship is sinking.

[Bazer]

Well, we're going to win probably we'll be high point.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, you had 30. 30 points from Scatter Boo.

[Bazer]

So send that 10 now and then we'll probably win 170. About 60. It's going to be a hundred point win. Not even kidding. And the thing is we need you to lose. You, us, your brother, all of us can't make the playoffs or that's a bad look on our fantasy football league.

[Lunchbox]

Why does it have to be me? Why do you have to cheer? I would love to be in the fantasy football playoffs so I could care about this crap and like try and you know, want to talk about it. But when someone goes down, scores 55 on you on a freaking Thursday, you hate that person. I don't even know their name. Oh, it's Dong. Quit calling me Dong. Well, oh, I think his name is Dang or Dang. I don't know but whatever. 55 to nothing. Golly.

[Bazer]

People in your league naming their teams after Dong?

[Lunchbox]

No, no, because I misread his name when we drew it and I said Dong. I think his name was David Dong, but I think his name is David Dang.

[Bazer]

Ray. Another team is called Enos.

[Lunchbox]

What?

[Bazer]

It's just. It's like bringing friends over to your house when you're kids. You almost got to let the friends win because you know how to all the you have.

[Lunchbox]

Is that what it is? You have to let your friends win. But you, you're allowed to win and I can't. We know you and Justin co managing is just like the. It has changed your life because you never made the playoffs. You sucked. And last year you had him, you were good. This year you have him and you guys are like dominating the league.

[Bazer]

It's just a different psychology because he taught me. It's not about the names, dude. I would have drafted Travis Kelce. I always went by Sports center guys. Now I learned hey, it's actually better to have. Is it the Javante Williams? I don't even know that guy. It's better to have him than Derrick Henry.

[Lunchbox]

Oh man.

[Bazer]

So I always went for SportsCenter a block put. Put him on my team. I'll take them.

[Lunchbox]

It's been amazing. It's been wild.

[Bazer]

It's like what back in the day, my cousins that they let it. Let it slip. That they actually let us win at sports sometimes when we go to the lake house. And I didn't know that.

[Lunchbox]

Were they older than you?

[Bazer]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

Okay, so.

[Bazer]

And then that was kind of new to me. They said, yeah, our mom said to let you win at basketball. What? I didn't know, people. What? It was a weird taste in my mouth. But we need to let our listeners win in fantasy. It's just not Batter's Box trying his butt off.

[Lunchbox]

What up, everybody? It's Batter's Box here with a special.

[Bazer]

It's not good.

[Lunchbox]

No, no. We're adults now. You don't have to let people win when they come in and smack you around like Craigie did last week to me. And dang or don't call me Dong is doing this week, that gives them more pride than you letting them win. And so I don't know what I need. And I have a bad matchup. My quarterback is Justin Fields. He plays the Broncos in London this weekend. He's going to score about negative five points because the Broncos defense is good. Justin Fields can't throw the ball, and it's just gonna be bad.

[Bazer]

And all you people out there, Gambling is now legalized in your state. Sure, there was fantasy back in the day because there was no gambling. Only in Vegas. Now there's gambling everywhere. And so fan fantasy has regressed a little bit. But I believe fantasy is going to become uber popular again. Because what you learn is when the gambling is happening, you're not learning the players. Heck, when you head in over, you turn the game off. Fantasy is how you learn. You're starting to become more knowledgeable. I believe fantasy starts to get more popular. Just give it a couple years, like right now.

[Lunchbox]

What do you mean more? Dude, it's so popular.

[Bazer]

It is, but I'm just saying, I think it took a step back because all these states said, boom, have at her. Give us your mortgages. But Bazer's never been more into fantasy. She's just lost. But before that, she was undefeated out of her entire league. She was the number one team. She had the number one draft. She's loving it. And she doesn't even know sports. I got a reminder. The London games, I'm like, hey, hey, it's 7:30. Get up. There's London games. You got to set your lineup. Oh, okay. First team in the league, and I got to tell her, for London, hey, Germany, they're in Bangladesh today.

[Lunchbox]

Hey, yeah, they're in India this morning. You better get your lineup in. I'm so city.

[Bazer]

Hey, it's 10pm at night. Get it up, let's go. Lineup time.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. And it's like, it's like my week of bad has just continued. Losing last week to someone that started, someone that was on the. Was out and they beat me. Then my eliminator pick just crapping down their pants. And then I'm like, all right, Thursday, new week, let's start over. 55 points against me. All right, well this, this is great. So we're going to have a two week run of just being. Let lunchbox be miserable. Because I am miserable. I'm watching last night just going, wow, this is great, man. Two losses in a row here I was thinking, ah, four. No, I'm just going straight to the playoffs. Nothing. Oh, never mind. I got something to worry about. Got something to worry about.

[Bazer]

And your fault is this. You were trying to clean up your team. Oh, I'll just dump. Who was the guy?

[Lunchbox]

Wanda Robinson.

[Bazer]

I'll just dump. There's some trash in the living room. I'm just going to dump, dump this out. Wanda Robinson. That's what I did with Quinn Chandra Judkins. Oh, and he now does 100 yards a game. He got drafted by a team and he's a perfect running back. I was just cleaning our team up. That's what tidying up. I didn't want guys that weren't playing. Oh, he's playing all right. He runs runs for the century mark every week.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, it was like, you know, you got guests coming over and you don't really realize what you're throwing in the trash. You just pick up stuff and start throwing stuff in closets and under the bed. And I'll get this outside, throw this in the shed, throw this in the garbage. And then the next day you're like, wait, where'd that lottery ticket go, man? I don't know. I must have thrown it away. That's exactly what I did. It would have been fine because he won. Dale. Yes, he only had seven catches for 85 and a touchdown. But that almost equals what Goddard did. He had nine for 110 a touchdown. So he would have been six points different. But I can make up six points somewhere. Making up 25 points. It ain't going to happen.

[Bazer]

Were you going to start him? I would have had to Wandell. What's his name?

[Lunchbox]

Robinson.

[Bazer]

He starts on your team.

[Lunchbox]

Hold up.

[Bazer]

Is that guy who you're starting a Wanda Robinson. I told Justin, I said, hey, just take a look at some of the people in our division, their teams and the players they have on their bench, I. I think some of them have practice squad guys. They get 0.2 points a game. Guys. If you have a player on your team that's getting point, one point. It.

[Lunchbox]

It's.

[Bazer]

You can drop him. You are safe to put him out to pasture. And I'll hang up and listen.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, I really made him. I mean, I just made a blunder. I made a blunder in the last minute of trying to get my. It's just. And it cost me. And it just. It hurt last night. The game hurt, watching, not because I cared about the teams. It was because I was just sitting there getting points scored on me. And every time Wandell Robinson would get a catch, I'd be like, well, that could have been on my points. Could have had those points.

[Bazer]

And it does suck when you throw stuff away and it's Halloween. Honey, where's that red shirt? Oh, yeah, I threw that away. But now that I have a house, I realize you're able to keep a lot more stuff.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, but the problem is you throw it in a closet and then you're like, I don't know where it is. What closets in. Oh, my gosh. And you dig through all this stuff like, oh, my gosh, I can't find it. So annoying.

[Bazer]

But, like, you really do need that red shirt. There's no reason to take it to Goodwill to just clean up a little bit.

[Lunchbox]

There's never.

[Bazer]

Cuz it's gonna come around where you're gonna dress as a tomato. You're gonna do some paint project. You're gonna need that red shirt for something 100% ready to support people. There's got to be some sort of color that's associated with support. That's red.

[Lunchbox]

Enough fantasy talk. People don't care. Let's. Let's start the show. I don't care. They don't care. Fantasy is dead this week. Next week we'll pick fantasy back up. We'll be in a good mood and we'll be looking to get back on the saddle.

[Bazer]

The election, it would support the Republican Party. I heart.

[Lunchbox]

I heart. Duh. Come on now.

[Bazer]

You know the second I throw away that red shirt bloods. No, it's going to be. Here comes a memo from corporate. Hey, guys. Everybody in Unity wear red to support I heart.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, we're going to need. We're going to have I heart week where you wear a red shirt every week. All right, cool. Honey, do you know what I did with that red shirt? No.

[Bazer]

I cleaned it up like Wandell Robinson threw it away.

[Lunchbox]

Hey, I did. I did with it what you did with Kenshawn Junkins. I threw him out. But he's got to get suspended, right?

[Bazer]

Quinceandra Judkins. Whatever.

[Lunchbox]

I do.

[Bazer]

Listen, suspended for. He hit somebody.

[Lunchbox]

Supposedly.

[Bazer]

Okay, yeah, but they're just letting him play until they figure out.

[Lunchbox]

Very weird. Like, I mean, supposedly he hit his woman or a girl.

[Bazer]

Not funny.

[Lunchbox]

And they just let him play. I understand. It's very weird how they. Yeah. You know who's just never been heard from again? Justin Tucker. Man, we had, like. He just never existed. He was, like, one of the best kickers in the world. And then he went and got some massages, and now he's just gone.

[Bazer]

Well, they do fade. You start missing a couple. Like this Tennessee Titan Sly guy. They love him. I mean, he could get free food at any. Who Sly?

[Lunchbox]

Who's Sly? No, Dyke.

[Bazer]

No, Dyke's the runner.

[Lunchbox]

No, Dyke's a catcher.

[Bazer]

Dyke's the guy that gets all the returns.

[Lunchbox]

I'm pretty sure he plays wide receiver, though.

[Bazer]

Sure, he plays, but he's known for.

[Lunchbox]

But who is Sly the Run? Oh, you mean the kicker, The Sly kid, Joey Slo.

[Menopause Expert]

Yes.

[Bazer]

He's actually making some field goals, dude. He can go to any one of these hot chicken places and get free chicken. But then once you miss a couple, then they talk about cutting you.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, it's like you're out of town, man.

[Bazer]

Massages, Ray.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. Let's start the show, man. All right.

[Lunchbox]

So we have these wonderful bosses. And I mean, their paychecks must be pretty nice because I. Some of them belong to golfing communities, some would call it a country clubs. And yesterday I see the one of the bosses in the hallways. I hey, man, you haven't been up to my place to play golf in a while. I see you've been playing. I've been seeing you on 18 birdies. And I'm like, yeah, I've been playing. He's like, I'm watching your scores. He goes, you've been playing pretty well. He goes, hey, you know, the invitation's always open. If you want to make the drive a little north of town and come to my place, you're welcome to come play with me. And I said, okay, great, thanks. I said, that's really cool, man. You know, it's just hard with three kids. But you know what actually I could do tomorrow? Can you do.

[Bazer]

And he goes, this is just a depressing conversation. Continue.

[Lunchbox]

Why is this depressing?

[Bazer]

I could do tomorrow because it's like he's. You're a charity case. Because the muni, we're not members.

[Lunchbox]

Right?

[Bazer]

Don't get those marquee times.

[Stephanie Beatriz]

Right?

[Lunchbox]

We don't get the marquee times.

[Bazer]

It's sad, dude. And I could play tomorrow.

[Lunchbox]

And so he tells me, yeah, I could do tomorrow. And I said, well, let me look. You know what I said I could do tomorrow?

[Bazer]

Let's go.

[Lunchbox]

I said, let's play some golf.

[Bazer]

When we going?

[Lunchbox]

And so I've got my clubs in the car. Like, I'm ready to go.

[Bazer]

Don't even have to go home after.

[Lunchbox]

Don't even have to go after. I have clothes in there. I have every. Pants are on. Pants are on. But the sun's going to come out, so I have shorts in the car. It's going to be a nice day. And I'm like, yes, we're going to play some golf at a nice. No muni, no fighting for a tea time. No, we're going to go up to his place and we're going to go play. And it's going to be so nice. And the drinks and the food will be on him. It'll be great.

[Bazer]

You do the food. You don't do a lot of the drinks.

[Lunchbox]

No, I meant like tea.

[Bazer]

Oh, my bad.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, I don't do the drinks because I got to get back in my car and drive 40 minutes back to my house.

[Bazer]

I thought you said Dranks.

[Lunchbox]

No, I didn't say drank. I said drinks. Well, if I was drinking, that would have alcohol. Drinks would be like tea or lemonade.

[Bazer]

Got you.

[Lunchbox]

So I'm like, yeah, I'm going to give me a sandwich at the turn. Give me some snacks, everything. And I'm all excited. I tell my wife, hey, you know, I'm going to play golf with the boss today. Oh, yeah, you have fun. And I was like, I might be home a little later. Don't worry, I'll get dinner for the kids. It'll be okay. And I'm like, all right, great, perfect.

[Bazer]

They said the ratings on my bonehead have never been higher.

[Lunchbox]

Everything's been going great. So I set my clubs out the night before, had my sore losers canvas bag put. That's where I put my golf clothes, my golf shoes. That way I'm not carrying a shirt, a hat, a belt, and I forget something and I put it in the car and I'm all excited and I'm looking forward to it. I'm just thinking, man, how much longer? How much longer till we get out of here? I'm ready to go play some golf. Ready to go play some golf. And then I get a notification on 18 birdies. And I'm like, huh? It says the boss just started around.

[Bazer]

A little bit before.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, like 30 minutes ago.

[Bazer]

Could have been practice round, teeing off the.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, he could. He could have been just warming up. Maybe he had. He committed himself to another group. And I'm like, okay, cool. All right. Yeah, I guess he's going to play 36 holes today. Or maybe he's just going to play, you know, 27. He's going to play nine to get warmed up. Yeah, yeah, yeah, no problem, you know, and it says so and so club. I'm like, I never heard of that golf course. I'm like, huh? Okay, well, did it say muni? No, no, it said club. Whoa. And I'm like, huh?

[Bazer]

You gotta have a membership there, right?

[Lunchbox]

And I'm like, I've never heard of that. I don't even know where that is. I wonder how far he drove for that. And so I click on it, and he's played three holes and he's too over par. And I'm like, huh? So I go on my computer and I give it a little goo. He's playing golf in Connecticut.

[Bazer]

That's not going to work.

[Lunchbox]

So what is going. How is he playing golf in Connecticut? He told me yesterday right here in the hallway, hey, I can play tomorrow. And I said, oh, I could too. And he goes, dude, so after the show, probably about 12:30. And I was like, that would be great. So we had a time set and then as I, I'm sitting here now he's on hole number four in Connecticut.

[Bazer]

What a disaster. That's why I don't golf with other people.

[Lunchbox]

No, no. But there is no text from him saying, hey, actually I'm going to go to Connecticut and play golf. We can't play golf tomorrow.

[Bazer]

Yeah, that's weird. You should have got at least some sort of letting you know, right?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Bazer]

But is it for sure canceled? Because you know.

[Lunchbox]

Hold on, hold on, hold on. Okay, you know, you hold on. You hold on.

[Bazer]

There is a thing called pidgeot.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, here's the problem. That means he would have to finish 14 more holes. Well, I guess 15 because he's only on number four right now. He would have to finish 15 more holes, get back to the PJ and fly back, drive to his country club that he is a member at and be there by one o'. Clock. Let me see. Hashtag impossible.

[Bazer]

Hashtag Ray. Air traffic controllers have been busy enough, they're not going to allow that.

[Lunchbox]

Correct.

[Bazer]

Government shutdown Ray.

[Lunchbox]

So my question is, do I text him and just be like, hey man, are we still on for today?

[Bazer]

Oh my. Did he just say that conversationally? See, but he didn't realize that you were banking your entire life on this. He was just like keeping it loosey goosey. But for you that was straight confirmation 1230.

[Lunchbox]

That is also another thought. Was he just saying it like as a robot? Like that's his go to when he sees me, hey man, you haven't played. I've been seeing you play golf on 18 birds. We should play sometime. And he doesn't even think. And he just, all right, autopilot has the conversation, moves on with his life and the next morning he's playing in Connecticut.

[Bazer]

Some people just don't talk in confirmations. Pitts small thing on that Friday we went hung out with him. He goes, I didn't even know think you guys were serious until you showed up. And I go, dude, we both texted you. Yeah, like when people say that when I say I'm coming, I'm coming back to golf.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. I tell my wife I'm coming, I'm coming.

[Bazer]

That's what I'm saying. Like I don't get the non confirmation world. So if some there's people that say they're going to do 12:30 and then don't do it.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. And this is less than 24 hours ago that we had this conversation.

[Bazer]

Like I told Amy on the Vague show that I was bringing her mums. I brought her mums the next day. And she goes, did you really bring me mums? And I said, yes. I said I was going to bring you mums. Why would I not have brought you mums? What is happening in this world where you say stuff and then there's people out there that don't do it?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. So maybe he meant that he got me a tee time, but he wasn't going to be there. So if I drive to his. His club. But he said, you can come play with me anytime you want. It's a little bit of a drive.

[Bazer]

But you guys threw out the time.

[Lunchbox]

We threw out the time.

[Bazer]

So text him.

[Lunchbox]

I'm going to text him and I'm going to say, hey, man, we still good for 12:30? Got the clubs in the car, don't even have to go home after work.

[Bazer]

I don't think you want that answer.

[Lunchbox]

Looking forward to it. Send. All right, there you go.

[Bazer]

You know what your answer is going to be? He gapped it. You were at the bottom of the list. He never even thought you guys were serious. He did throw out a time.

[Lunchbox]

He threw out time.

[Bazer]

But dang, is that boss busy? So you're telling me he got some last second call Paju, Connecticut, day of your odd man out. Wow, that's a different lifestyle.

[Lunchbox]

No, no. Not only am I odd man out, that he got this. Cool. Obviously something happened, but he didn't even have the thought, oh, you know what, I need to text lunch and let him know I'm out.

[Bazer]

Hey, have you ever thought of. This is just an out of the box idea. Have you ever thought of big him? Is there any way to just pick a golf course random that isn't even where you currently are, where it's geolocated?

[Lunchbox]

And do what?

[Bazer]

Why don't you. So you saw he did a Connecticut pop up. Why don't you sign up for Lauderdale? My buddy knows courses there. You say you're in Fort Lauderdale, Be like, hey, got a Florida course today. Sorry, man, can't do 12:30. So you beat him to the punch.

[Lunchbox]

Obviously it's not going to register because he's not. He doesn't even remember that we have a tee time because he's already in Connecticut.

[Bazer]

You're. You did you. You had stuff going on.

[Lunchbox]

Hey, he double bogeyed four.

[Bazer]

You're moving and shaking too. Hey, playing Florida. Sorry, I'm out of state too. That's that's how you play it. Oh, you just went to Connecticut. I went to Dominican Republic.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, man. I'm playing on Hawaii. I'm playing on the big island this weekend, man. Sorry about that. Totally forgot. Not gonna be able to make it. That's, that's my, my apologies.

[Bazer]

And then you confuse him and he's like, dang, I'm only playing Connecticut. He's playing freaking Kona, dude. That's how you get him. You guys both BD each other.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, man. Yeah.

[Bazer]

Or you just tell him you're playing the local muni.

[Lunchbox]

Or hey man, I guess I'll go play the local muni. Since you're up in Connecticut, what's gonna happen?

[Bazer]

You're gonna pop up at muni?

[Lunchbox]

No, no, I. Now I probably won't even play because when I'm playing I'm like, oh man, I got bigger, bigger, better deal, huh? Here we go. What a shot. Hey, did you see that, boss? Sorry, you're in Connecticut. You didn't see that shot. Sorry. All right, all right. This is for birdie, man. This is a birdie. Hey, boss, can you get your film out? I can put it on TikTok. Oh, sorry, you're not playing. You're not my boss. Oh, you're just. You're Jim. You're the homeless guy. Cool, man, thanks. Alright, here we go. I missed it. Don't worry about it, boss. I'll tell you about it on Monday when you get back from Connecticut because we were supposed to play golf together. Cool.

[Bazer]

It wasn't even a 30 minute gap. It was a different state gap.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, it's like, it's not like we're in just like, oh, I went over to my. But my buddy hit me last minute. It was, I'm in Connecticut, I don't know. And I mean I get 55 fantasy points put on me last night and then I get the boss playing in Connecticut today. I love my life. We'll take a break. We'll be right back.

[Brown Ambition Host]

Hey sis, what if I could promise you you never had to listen to a condescending finance bro tell you how to manage your money again? Welcome to Brown Ambition. This is the hard part when you pay down those credit cards. If you haven't gotten to the bottom of why you were racking up credit or turning to credit cards, you may just recreate the same problem. A year from now when you do feel like you are bleeding from these high interest rates, I would start shopping for a debt consolidation loan starting with your local, local credit union. Shopping around online looking for some online lenders because they tend to have fewer fees and be more affordable. Listen, I am not here to judge. It is so expensive in these streets. I 100 can see how in just a few months you can have this much credit card debt. When it weighs on you, it's really easy to just like stick your head in the sand. It's nice and dark in the sand. Even if it's scary, it's not going to go away just because you're avoiding it. And in fact, it's make it even worse. For more judgment, free money advice, listen to Brown ambition on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

[Lunchbox]

That's a good one. Something weird happened in my house last night.

[Bazer]

Kinky?

[Lunchbox]

No, not kinky. Baby Box 2. Put him to sleep. He's got his jammies on. You know what I mean? They're blue with blue stripes, you know, lighter blue, like maybe turquoise stripes. And he's out like A light on his pillow, Asleep. And I'm watching the game. And I. Around 9:45, I hear footsteps in my house.

[Bazer]

That's cat.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, it could be dog, but in.

[Bazer]

Your house, that's kid.

[Lunchbox]

But I realized the dog was right there by me by the couch. And so I knew it wasn't dog. I was like, huh, what is that? But no kid ever said anything. I didn't hear anything. Nothing. And I'm like, oh, maybe I'm just hearing things, you know, Maybe it was a squirrel on the roof, you know?

[Bazer]

And so instead of investigating, you just chalk it up to just a random squirrel. Dude, I'd be up and down those stairs looking for a home intruder.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, yeah. I don't even think about a home intruder. I didn't even think about that. That would have been a good, good thought also. But I'm not paranoid, and so it must be bigfoot.

[Bazer]

I'll go back to sleep.

[Lunchbox]

So I finished watching the game, flipping that between that and the Cubs game and cubs, you know, I see Kyle Tucker hit a home run. I'm like, all right, this game's over. Half hit one in the first, but Tucker hit one in. I think it was the seventh. So I turn it off and I'm going to bed.

[Bazer]

And are you ever going to check on the sound?

[Lunchbox]

Well, then that's when I realized it had to be baby box 2. Going to the bathroom. Because in my bathroom is his pajama shirt. Like, huh, he must have been hot. Now I look in the hall, there's his pajama shorts. Homeboy's sleeping butt naked.

[Bazer]

We got a streaker.

[Lunchbox]

And I'm like, what in the world is he sleeping naked for? Why did he take off his clothes? Now I get it. When you're drunk, you take off your clothes, do some wind sprints. But he hadn't been drinking. And I'm like, huh, that's weird. And so I put a couple extra. I put an extra blanket on him, you know, because I don't want to wake him up. There's no need to wake him up to put the clothes on. I just feel bad and sleep. Rest. Hey, you just sleep. Hey, the mockingbird. That mockingbird doesn't sing. Daddy's gonna buy you a trampoline if.

[Bazer]

This bet hits, I'll buy you more. But my fantasy team is such a.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. And I don't care anymore.

[Bazer]

Oh, I just got four.

[Lunchbox]

I wish Dallas Goddard would quit freaking. Not get the next score. Anyway, so your mom is sometimes a.

[Bazer]

Cute.

[Lunchbox]

And sometimes I like to Go in her back door.

[Bazer]

Anyway, Dad, I was awake the whole time.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, sorry, son. Sorry. What? Tell me about that back door, dad. No, no, no, son, that was just a joke. That was a joke, man. And you said, mom's a what? A sore. No, no, no, no, no, no. Anyway, so I texted my wife this morning. I said, hey, can you figure out why he was sleeping naked? And she responded. She goes, I asked him, happy Friday. And he said, I don't know, I didn't do that. He goes, I was wondering the same thing, kids.

[Bazer]

A werewolf.

[Lunchbox]

So literally, he was just out, went to the bathroom, took off his clothes, got back in bed, and has no recollection of getting undressed.

[Bazer]

That's funny. I might need a kid for that. That's funny.

[Lunchbox]

That's, you know, when they're really freaking tired.

[Bazer]

You're gonna talk about it all night.

[Lunchbox]

That they have no clue that they actually did that.

[Bazer]

Man, the second you get home, dad, did mom tell you?

[Lunchbox]

Dude, guarantee when I get home, he's gonna be like, dad, guess what? I slept naked last night.

[Bazer]

Do it again. We're gonna have a problem. Hear me, boy?

[Lunchbox]

No, there's no problem. Whatever. I mean, you do you. We're not gonna judge, but I was just a little surprised to see a trail of pajamas from the bathroom back to his bed. And so that obviously meant he was sleeping naked. It was just really weird, really funny. Like, what made him. And now my question is, did he? He had to take him off on the way to the bathroom.

[Bazer]

Maybe he takes him off to go to the bathroom.

[Lunchbox]

That could be it. That's weird. Oh, got a text from the boss. You want an update? He said, oh, sorry, man, I'm not going to be able to make it. I actually got a last minute invite to go to come up to Connecticut and play a few rounds. Really apologize. Catch you next week.

[Bazer]

Man, we're in the wrong industry.

[Lunchbox]

No, no, we're in the right industry.

[Bazer]

Wrong department.

[Lunchbox]

Wrong department. So basically what happened is this is my theory. Had to be some artist. BBD said, hey, you want to come with me to Connecticut to play these courses? I'm flying on my pj.

[Bazer]

But wait, he already had a with you plans?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, obviously he wasn't even going to text me to let me know he couldn't make it. Oh, sorry about that, man. I got a last minute invite. To do what?

[Bazer]

A letdown. That's how you're starting your weekend?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, man. Cool. Dude, that's weird. I mean, that's just that, I mean, that lets you know where you're at on the totem pole. And I wonder if it hit him when I texted, or did he hope that I was just going to forget about golf and it was not going to have to be awkward.

[Bazer]

Right? But if you say you're going, I don't get how somebody could forget about it. You make a mental note.

[Lunchbox]

I agree, but I'm saying he never hit me up and was like, hey, I'm actually going to go out of town. He never did anything until right now when I text him and he says, oh, man, sorry about that. Actually, I'm not going to be able to make it. So he was hoping that I was not going to say anything. Now, what if I would have never seen the notification on 18 birdies and I would have driven to his damn club?

[Bazer]

It was good you were stalking him. The thing I want to know is, did the boss totally gap it and forget about you? Did the boss just not care about you? Did the boss debate it in his head and then just say, I'll just go there. It'll all pan out? I'm curious what went through the boss's head. I think he totally gapped it and forgot he was even going with you in the first place.

[Lunchbox]

I. I'll say 100%. He gapped it. Like, he forgot. He. He got this text or call. I don't know what happens in this situation if the artist called him or texted him and was like, hey, dude, you want to fly to Connecticut with me? I got something up there. And then we can play a couple rounds of golf. Jumping on the PJ in about two hours, and he's just like, oh, my God, I got to go. And he doesn't even think about anything else. Grabs his club and drives to the airport. Yeah, I mean, that's it. He's like, all right, honey, Bye. See you later. I got to go. I'm flying to Connecticut with so and so.

[Bazer]

But for a second, do you think he thinks, ah, man, I got the. The golf with lunch at 12:30, though?

[Lunchbox]

Like, is he up in the air? Like, is that when he realizes, like, oh, man, I never hit up lunch and let him know that I'm not gonna be able to make it? Or is he just so on cloud nine that he's in this private jet with this artist flying to Connecticut to play these very private, nice courses, and he has no thought of me and my. My situation and my excitement to play with him?

[Bazer]

See, I'm not even jealous of that life.

[Lunchbox]

No, I'm not jealous I know, but.

[Bazer]

I want to say, oh, that's how the other half lives. But I think I would rather chill in the country. Maybe there's a potential possibility I go play golf tomorrow morning, but it's full. But I'd rather do my life. I don't know about the. You're gonna play in a random course, random people, and you have to ditch plans. So somebody's gonna be mad at you, and you just gotta pick up and go do something. I'm not planned to do that. I have plans for how my weekend's gonna be. See, I don't know if I could do that. I don't envy that.

[Lunchbox]

I don't think. I think you're playing with people, you know, because it's an artist and probably two of the two other friends.

[Bazer]

He randomly knows. People in Connecticut.

[Lunchbox]

No, no, they're not going to be. They're going to be a foursome. They're not going to play with random people. You're going to play a random, nice course. Yes, but that's the. Like, I think that's cool to play new random courses that are fun, right?

[Bazer]

But those guys are going to be having Connecticut jokes. You don't understand any of the humor.

[Lunchbox]

Well, I think that artist lives here, so I don't think he's going to have Connecticut jokes.

[Bazer]

But you think that this boss is really good friends with that artist, that they have a great relationship?

[Lunchbox]

That's a great question. See, it would just be. That might be awkward.

[Bazer]

Like, if somebody goes, will you go play golf with. Let me think of a person.

[Lunchbox]

Luke Bryant.

[Bazer]

Nah, Luke would be funny.

[Lunchbox]

Like, Luke's hilarious, okay?

[Bazer]

Like, just a random person. Nate.

[Lunchbox]

Luke Combs.

[Bazer]

Luke Combs. I don't know if I'd enjoy that because I don't know, like, Luke is just an easy guy to get a. Luke.

[Lunchbox]

Brian.

[Bazer]

Brian. He would be funny. He laugh.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Bazer]

Luke Combs. I don't think we'd have any chemistry. That would kind of be a miserable three hours. I get it's a private jet. I get it's a course in Connecticut. But I'm passing. My name is Bennett. I ain't in it. My name's Paul. It's up to y'.

[Stephanie Beatriz]

All.

[Lunchbox]

Who'd be another awkward one? Freaking Kip Moore.

[Bazer]

Kip. See, I would get along with him because he's an island guy.

[Lunchbox]

Okay.

[Bazer]

It would almost be some of the guys.

[Lunchbox]

Nate Smith. That's a good one.

[Bazer]

Nate Smith. I just don't think it would be just so, like, George Burge would be funny. And fun. Jordan Davis would be one of those that. I just don't think I'd get along with him that well.

[Lunchbox]

Okay. Chris Stapleton.

[Bazer]

Chris Stapleton would be awkward. I wouldn't enjoy it for three hours. You just got to think of stuff to talk about. Chris Stapleton.

[Lunchbox]

Not only three hours, but the plane ride, the couple rounds of golf at these Connecticut courses, and then the flight home.

[Bazer]

See, Luke Bryan would honestly be the number one. That would be a blast. Because the whole time you'd be laughing. There would be a lot of them I would pass on. Like, even Jake Owen, as cool as he is, I bet he has friends that he would talk to more. So I'm just, like, standing over there in the corner.

[Lunchbox]

Hey, guys.

[Bazer]

Love Connecticut.

[Lunchbox]

Hey, man. This is so fun.

[Bazer]

Colors are beautiful.

[Lunchbox]

Is that pin in the back or is it in the. The middle or the front?

[Bazer]

Thanks, Jake. I couldn't hear you. You were talking to your friend over there. I got it. Okay.

[Lunchbox]

Did you guys shoot how far it is to the hole? What?

[Bazer]

It's okay. I can.

[Lunchbox]

I can judge it by saying I'm not in on that conversation. Okay, cool, man. I'll be over here.

[Bazer]

Did you guys order me a sandwich? You didn't? No worries. I'm gonna get a bag of chips. We're good at the turn. I got the chips. See, I'd rather be in the man cave by myself.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, it's a valid point.

[Bazer]

That's what I'm saying. Connecticut ain't that great.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, that's a valid point. But, yeah, that's just how my weekend's already started. I mean, so, yeah, we might as well. And they said the Oklahoma quarterback's going to play Matier.

[Bazer]

Baby.

[Lunchbox]

Mattier may play. That's great.

[Bazer]

No, he's playing.

[Lunchbox]

He's probable.

[Bazer]

That means playing. You play Fantasy.

[Lunchbox]

But didn't he just have surgery on his hand, like, a week ago?

[Bazer]

He missed one game and he's playing with one hand.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, man, that's crazy. But, yeah, here we go. You ready for some locks, man? Because we got to get out of here. Look, the Denver Broncos are over in London. Or England or Dublin or Germany. I don't know where they're playing.

[Bazer]

London. Get it right.

[Lunchbox]

Is it London?

[Bazer]

Yes, because I tried to understand it, because one time they're in Germany. One time they're in Mexico City. One time they're in Brazil. One time they're in London. One time they're in Dublin, they're in London.

[Lunchbox]

Okay, well, they're seven and a half against the Jets. The jets are awful. Haven't won a game. They don't look like they know what they're doing. The Broncos are freaking good. Their defense is good. Bo Nicks. Bo Dix is throwing that thing all over the place. Give me the Broncos minus seven and a half. Take it to the bank.

[Bazer]

That's called throwing the pill.

[Lunchbox]

Wow. The Colts is now up to seven and a half. You know why Kyler Murray's not going to play?

[Bazer]

He's not.

[Lunchbox]

There's no way he's going to play. But seven and a half, that might be too much for my. For me to, you know, bite off, but the Pittsburgh Steelers are at home off a buy against the Browns, who just traveled to London or Dublin or wherever they're coming from. They're traveling all the way back to the United States. Then they got to go on the road again to Pittsburgh and they got to play the Steelers and Mike Tomlin off a buy. Give me the Pittsburgh Steelers minus six. Take it to the bank then. Make me understand this.

[Bazer]

Oh, you're going deep in your bag.

[Lunchbox]

Make me understand how the Seattle Seahawks.

[Bazer]

Make me a schoolgirl, Ray.

[Lunchbox]

Are favored in Jacksonville.

[Bazer]

It's a toss up. Bradford Bradley against the upstart Lawrence boy.

[Lunchbox]

The Seattle Seahawks are minus one and a half. That don't make sense. Give me the Jags plus one and a half at home. Take it to the bank. There you go. There's your three. Yeah. It's good stuff. Yeah. Good stuff. You're gonna. You got anything?

[Bazer]

No, man.

[Lunchbox]

No, man. All right.

[Bazer]

I just. My lock is. It's gonna be good old fashioned football fun. Red river rivalry is gonna be epic if that kid is playing mater and.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, that'll be at like 11 in the morning. That's the greatest part of that game.

[Bazer]

I think it's the afternoon.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, man. They get to do it at 11 now. It must be in the afternoon. I don't know. Yeah, I haven't looked at the times.

[Bazer]

I think the only early one is your Illinois and Ohio State.

[Lunchbox]

You mean do they play Illinois? Yeah, you're right. It's Indiana that's going to Oregon. Oregon. That's it. That's it. You're right. Illinois, OSU at 11. Alabama, Missouri at 11. Indiana, Oregon at 2. 30. Oklahoma, Texas, 230. Florida and Texas A&M. Michigan, USC, Georgia at Auburn. That's a good one.

[Bazer]

Nightcap?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. All right, everybody. Have a great weekend. Sore losers dot com. We are the sore [e-mail]. email us. Get your tickets to the convention. We out.

[Bazer]

And guys only gamble what you can lose you don't want to.

[Lunchbox]

Put on the line. You don't have to gamble, man. Just watch the games, enjoy yourself, go golf with your friends, make plans, and then fly to Connecticut and just totally bail. Yeah, no big deal. I'm not mad. I'm not. I don't feel weird. I don't feel awkward. It's not gonna be awkward the next time I see this boss. No. Who cares? Hey, man, it's water on the bridge. You know what I mean? Hey, we're cool? Yeah. Yeah, man. So that invite next time, is that sincere or is that one of those just kind of hey, man, I see in the hall? So I need to say something to you. I'll throw this out there, but I don't really want you to come golf. Okay. Pretty sad, podcast man.
