Make some noise for the greatest shooter of all time, Steph Curry. We went live from All Star Weekend for a new podcast called the Greatest of Their Era, and we ranked our top five shooters from the 2000s.
Eddie
Peja 5 Dirk Ford.
Ray
Peja is a lie.
Lunchbox
You won't believe who Steph left off his list.
Eddie
That's so tough. That's why we have these conversations.
Lunchbox
Yes, absolutely.
Eddie
Love it.
Lunchbox
Listen to Go t e greatest of their era on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Greg Rosenthal
What's up, everyone? It's Greg Rosenthal, and I'm teaming up with the king of spring, Daniel Jeremiah. He requires me to say that we're going to be bringing you 40s and free agents, the only podcast you'll need this NFL draft season. From DJs, mock drafts to my top 101 free agents, we'll have it covered for you with all new episodes every Thursday, keeping you up to date as we head to the NFL Draft. Listen to 40s and free agents starting on March 6th on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.
Ray
Yep. Yeah, we're live, man.
Daniel Jeremiah
Other one. Yeah, other one. Right.
Ray
I hooked up.
Daniel Jeremiah
There we go. I'm back. Dude, I'm gonna tell you what. It's Friday. We are less than two weeks away from the madness. Two weeks ago from yesterday is when the madness begins. Oh, I can't wait.
Ray
I was just telling Zach.
Daniel Jeremiah
What were you telling him?
Ray
Sorry, I was a little loud.
Daniel Jeremiah
Yeah, I thought so, too.
Ray
Voice was bad, too. I said, when you go over to Spain, where he's going, I said, it's pronounced Barcelona because I watch all those shows.
Daniel Jeremiah
Yeah, there's a lot of shows that happen in Barcelona.
Ray
Barcelona.
Daniel Jeremiah
Barcelona.
Ray
And all the captains of the ships always go, well, y'all, your excursion today. Enjoy your trip in Barcelona.
Daniel Jeremiah
Oh, you're talking like below deck.
Ray
Below deck.
Daniel Jeremiah
Got it.
Ray
I didn't explain it well, that music is loud.
Daniel Jeremiah
I got to be honest with you, because I keep turning my headphones down, then it's my headphones, but then I can't even hear myself talk. So then, yeah, that's good. But hey, before we start, we got to give a happy birthday. Justin Bonitz Boudnicki. Just Justin Buchnitsky. He. His birthday was February 27th. We kind of missed it. But, yeah, he's a big pit fan. He's been to the convention. He was not there this year. Not sure what his problem is. But a Justin Bonici. He's really tall, quiet dude.
Ray
Justin. Happy anniversary, happy birthday, and happy Christmas, man.
Daniel Jeremiah
Yeah, and we nailed it. Right on time. You didn't think you're gonna get a birthday shout out. We got it. Maybe two weeks late, but you got it, so be happy.
Ray
And just to say thanks to the entire pop station and Zach for letting us have this studio. We were naked. We had no studio.
Daniel Jeremiah
We had no studio because we got kicked out of the other studio. McKitty's in there today. It's like, gosh, well, it's too good to be true.
Ray
And let it be a lesson to you guys. I don't know if you're at your jobs. I don't know if you're at school. I don't know if you're at. Unemployed. I don't know if you work from home, have good relations. We started that relationship, that bridge with Zach. Because of that, this was a very seamless process. I said, zach, can we use the room? He said, let me put in this clip real quick. I'm getting to Spain. You boys get in here and have a hell of an episode and tell all of them hi. So he wanted to tell you guys hi because he is popular on the show now.
Daniel Jeremiah
I did not remember. I don't remember him saying, tell him hi.
Ray
He didn't say that, but he.
Daniel Jeremiah
His actions kind of said, like, I know they're gonna miss me while I'm in Spain, so make sure they know that I'm still with them in spirit.
Ray
But I also want our listeners to know he loves the pod and he will be back on.
Daniel Jeremiah
Yeah, he said he's gonna come back from Spain with all the stories.
Ray
Ray, contractually, I don't know if he'll be back on.
Daniel Jeremiah
Oh, no, no, no. He'll be back. I just don't have any story. I mean, I'm not gonna be able to compete with stories from. Oh, he did say stories from Spain. We will have that.
Ray
He did say that he's going to the.
Daniel Jeremiah
He said he found the. He said he found the best gay beach naked. And he will be going naked. That was his quote.
Ray
Yeah, fun. I said, bring back all the stories.
Daniel Jeremiah
Yeah, we can't wait to have some Zach's stories from Spain.
Ray
Tents and flag poles and all that.
Daniel Jeremiah
Yeah, everything. I don't know what else there is. I don't know what you do in Spain, like as a tourist. What is cool about Spain is there. So obviously there's beaches.
Ray
That's m. Mainly what it is.
Daniel Jeremiah
It is.
Ray
Okay.
Daniel Jeremiah
I never looked into it. Never thought of that.
Ray
I mean, I'm sure you can go in the middle of the country, but it's also the architecture. It's old, but right along the coast. That's Barcelona, Morocco. That's got to be it. Billy went there. That was a beach type place. Yeah, there's boats.
Daniel Jeremiah
It's Morocco's beach too. Yeah, Morocco doesn't sound like beach.
Ray
It was because Billy gambled In Morocco, lost 10,000 and he said, well, I justified it because I'm not going to get a boat the next day for 10,000. So I just doesn't go on the boat. And I would imagine Morocco's on the water. How would he get a boat? What is it? Morocco on a lake? Ray, it's on Lake Como.
Daniel Jeremiah
I don't even. I couldn't even tell you where Morocco is.
Ray
I only know because Billy went there. It's right along. It's not the Amalfi coast, it's some other coast. It's right there where it's all happening.
Daniel Jeremiah
No, my question is Morocco in Europe?
Ray
Yeah, got it.
Daniel Jeremiah
Didn't know that all those are there. What is all those?
Ray
Well, I mean, when you get bored of the Miami's, New York, Chicago's and Nashville's, you start looking at other places. So yes, I have researched the Moroccos, the Barcelona's, the Amalfi coast. You got Rome, Italy, Spain, France.
Daniel Jeremiah
Yeah, I wonder what Justin Bunischi, if he researched some of those for his birthday, if he thought, oh man, I'd like to go to Morocco. Or if he was just happy with the Pit Panthers and Capel losing another game.
Ray
I don't know, you know where he's going? He's going to Froggy's bar and putting down 12 mickeys. That's where he's going. Guys, let's be real, dude.
Daniel Jeremiah
Speaking of Froggy, we haven't heard from Froggy ATX in a while. That's a good qual. Good call.
Ray
Froggy atx. You got sore losers, locks. He went to Arizona.
Daniel Jeremiah
We haven't heard it from either one of them.
Ray
Yeah, he passed as well.
Daniel Jeremiah
Hey, that's crazy.
Ray
We're gonna do it live. Arnold is off today. He is preparing. We're gonna be doing a lot of street stuff for March Madness. We have the SEC tournament in Nashville. Then we have March Madness. Arnold is gonna bring us all kinds of creative ideas. So I let him have today off. We're gonna do it live without Arnold. We are the 1, 2, 3. So losers.
Daniel Jeremiah
What up, everybody? I am Lunchbox. I know the most about sports. Sports. So I'll give you the sports facts, my sports opinions, because I'm pretty much a sports genius, y'all.
Ray
It's Sizzit. I'm from the north. I'm an alpha male. I live on the north side of Nashville. The Broadway girl. We did get married, engaged. All of those different order. And we now live in the country. I am a country mouse. Every weekday, I come to the city and become a country into a city mouse. I'm sure most of you are like that. Some of our tractor operators out there. Guys, you with me?
Daniel Jeremiah
Yeah.
Ray
I don't know if you guys ever do the city mouse thing, but. But there you go. Now I lost my train of thought. White picket fence, 2.2 kids, 2.2 acres, die of a heart attack when I'm 72. Coach, without further ado, over to you.
Daniel Jeremiah
Well done. And I want to say. I want to start out this pod by saying, I'm sorry. I want to apologize to the listeners. I try. We try. We try to put together the best podcast we can three times a week, which might be way too many times a week, because there's no way you have that much time in your week to listen to three pods per week. And they're probably not even interesting. We probably don't have enough to talk about for three pods per week. But you still come back time and time again, and you trust us to be entertaining. And I want to apologize for missing the biggest opportunity to make you rich that we've ever had in the history of this podcast. And I told myself, when Kyrie Irving went down with a torn acl, Anthony Davis was already out. Gafford was out. Lively was out. Their whole team was pretty much out. And when Kyrie Irving tore his acl, I told myself, bet the house on the next Mavericks game. They're gonna get demolished. Guess what, Ray? I totally forgot. Didn't even think about it. Wasn't even paying attention. And they played a Couple nights ago in Milwaukee, they were 10 point underdogs. They lost by like 50. I. We had the golden opportunity for everybody on this podcast to have the easiest, no sweat, mansion building bet, and we failed them miserably.
Ray
Less jobs, more gambling. That's the American spirit. Hey, yo.
Daniel Jeremiah
We literally had it on a silver platter where every single listener of this podcast could have been filthy freaking rich. And it was over by halftime. They were up by like 21 at halftime. The Milwaukee Bucks were it. They, they. It was a corpse of a team. The Mavericks had eight players on their roster. That is the minimum you have to have to be able to play an NBA game. I believe is eight.
Ray
You guys field more on the nets and they.
Daniel Jeremiah
Yes, we do. We have nine. They had eight players. I don't even know who dribbles the basketball for them. It was a golden opportunity and we let it slip right through our fingers.
Ray
The question is this, so they win that bet the next bet, do they win the next one after that, do they win?
Daniel Jeremiah
Let me see who they play.
Ray
I'm not saying they're. They're going to stick with the Mavericks. I'm saying our listeners, if they were to listen to you, what percentage of our listeners are going to do that bet, win that money and then cash out? 0.0%. People let it ride when it's online. That's one of the dangers of online gambling. You have to be responsible. That 1% of person, maybe the farm operator in Texas, maybe he was able to cash out. But more times than not, I would imagine they're going to let it ride and it's going to end sad. So because of that, you help them. You help them, my man.
Daniel Jeremiah
Like today, I don't know how this is possible. The Mavericks are 10 point underdogs against the Grizzlies. The Grizzlies should annihilate them. But the problem is, you see that Jaren Jackson is going to be out, but John Morant's playing. So how do we not. How are we not all over this? I mean, listen to the lineup for the Mavericks. Spencer did Winnell Dante Exum, Klay Thompson.
Justin
She.
Daniel Jeremiah
Najee Marshall and Dwight Powell. That is their. That is who they have on their team.
Ray
Splash town is now dry. Riverbed, man.
Daniel Jeremiah
I mean, out. Anthony Davis. Gafford. Out. Hardy. Out. Kai Jones, who they just signed like two days ago. Out. Derek Lively. Out. Prosper. Out. PJ Washington. Out. How are we not betting our house again on the Grizzlies?
Ray
Splash brothers? More like blown pipe sisters. You Know what I'm saying?
Daniel Jeremiah
I mean, John Morant and Desmond Bain are both playing. There's no questionable tag next to them. Those are the only two you need.
Ray
Here's the dangers. You're looking right now at a very early hour. I'm not specifically going to say, I would imagine there's going to be different iterations of that lineup before the game. Actually tips, you do not know until about an hour before the game if NBA guys are playing or not. And remember that when you and your buddies decide to get queued at a cubicle one time, cause you're after lunch and you've had a couple margaritas at the local Mexican restaurant, you come back to the office and say place it. No, you're going to place it around dinner time when you get the correct rosters. Otherwise you're putting yourself at a deficit. And that's not how you win at gambling.
Daniel Jeremiah
That's a great point. So it's valid. I'm just looking at it and I'm saying, how is it now the same line. I mean, I understand it's in Dallas, but I apologize to you as a listener that we let you down. That that was the easiest, easiest money making bet in the history of the NBA.
Ray
And guys, I want you to do your own research. The reason for this is I've been trying to find the Colorado Rockies starting lineup for opening day. There are about five different websites with five different lineups. And don't go to espn. Our brethren over there have no idea the pitching depth chart where guys are going to be positioned in the batting order. Do your own Research. Is McNa, is McNaman, is he going to be top three or is he going to be five? Nolan Jones, is he making the top six? Is Tovar going to lead off? Are they going to have that Dylan kid? Those are the questions. Chris Bryant, he's 4. Other than that, there's all these different websites with different lineups. Do your own research.
Daniel Jeremiah
So I'll talk about those idiots over at espn. Is that what you're talking about? Those idiots over there?
Ray
If you click on it, One of the ESPN tabs says Germaine Marquez is the number one guy. Another website says MLB.com says Freeland he's the number one guy for the Rockies. I just want to be a 12 year old kid. I want to memorize pitching depth charts, memorize starting lineups and I can't because ESPN's pants are down. MLB.com is trying to have an affair in the office. Nobody pays attention to the games. Nobody's having a coach talk with Bud Black. What is the starting lineup? You know how you find it out? You go to spring training. And that's exactly what I did two years ago.
Daniel Jeremiah
Smart.
Ray
And I found it out for myself. And I also found out Blackhead Blackman, he's a mean man.
Daniel Jeremiah
Oh, he wasn't nice.
Ray
No. It didn't even say hi to me and Boomer and didn't sign anything and didn't throw us a ball. But you know who did throw us a ball? Sensaya didn't know that.
Daniel Jeremiah
So how. Where did you see Blackman? Was he out in the field? Was he walking by you? What? Tell me about it.
Ray
Me and Boomer, we went to the far corner of the right field because we were on the. My dad. I'm guessing cheaper tickets. We were on the Indians guardian side. And so I go, Boomer, we got to go to the right field where the Rockies are pitching. We go over there, some guys dicking around. Blackman, for whatever reason, was just walking around up there. We go, Blackman, Blackman, Autograph.
Daniel Jeremiah
Oh, nice beer, dude. Nice beard. Your beard's on point. Love that beard, dude. You a man.
Ray
Because these catchers, they're not getting in the dirt. So they miss a ball, it goes to the back. So then they go pick it up. Well, Blackman was going to pick some. Up we go, Blackman throws one of those. Blackman, dude, nobody exists. And that's why he retired. He needed to get out of the game. But Senzavia, the man turns around. Boomer, ball. Smiling fans, a ball. I think he threw one to one of his chicks. Understood. But he did throw a Boomer one.
Daniel Jeremiah
Hold on. Did you tell me Charlie Blakeman retired?
Ray
Go.
Daniel Jeremiah
Is that breaking news?
Ray
And you know what? It's about damn time. Because, guys, he. He's had that beard. He's needing to be hunting, fishing. He needs to be working for dnr, doing something get him off a baseball field. Last year, he was not a good leadoff hitter. He hit under his weight. He had under 300. Put me tovar at the lead up. Put me Dylan at the lead up. Something, man. Doyle. That's what it.
Daniel Jeremiah
Wow. Charlie Blackman did retire.
Ray
That's what I'm saying. ESPN's not going to tell you that.
Daniel Jeremiah
You have to do that.
Ray
Do your own research. ESPN, guess what their highlight is. $1 million. Just went to Qatar. Like, who cares? Do your own research. Guys, when it comes to any of this stuff, don't trust the sites. Except for Sore Losers Dot com.
Daniel Jeremiah
Yeah, and The Sore Losers podcast on Instagram, our Facebook page. We have all the information. And did you see Charles Barkley call EveryBod at ESPN Idiots? That's what I was saying. That's why I was like, are you talking about those idiots over at espn?
Ray
Is he saying because they got let go and they're doing their own thing?
Daniel Jeremiah
No, because. And he goes, and we're going to be working with those idiots next year. He goes, what's that guy's name? Kendrick Parkins. He goes, he's an idiot. He goes, kendrick Perkins on there saying, the Lakers saved the NBA season. Stop. He goes, that's because you guys are idiots. All you guys over there on TV are idiots. All you've been talking about is the warriors and the Lakers. Yeah, they've been good for two weeks, but you guys are idiots. You know who's been balling out for six months? The Thunder and the Cavs. But you idiots. Yeah, I'm talking to you guys, and I want all that smoke. I'm gonna be working with all them next year. We're gonna be the idiots working with those idiots. But all they want to talk about is the same damn thing every day. The Lakers and the stupid Warriors. It's dumb. They're idiots.
Ray
Remember when we said Lakers are going to play in the Rockets first round? Probably get beat out. Change that. Guys, they're actually going to make it past first round. Lakers are going to make a pretty good run in the Western Conference finals.
Daniel Jeremiah
Oh, they're going all the way to the conference finals.
Ray
No, they're not. But they're going to make it past the first round. Before we were saying they're going to hit up with Houston. It's changed. They've won eight in a row.
Daniel Jeremiah
Yeah, they're.
Ray
They're white hot. They're.
Daniel Jeremiah
They're what Barkley said. They've been good for about two weeks. They. They're looking pretty good. They keep winning games. I don't know how they're doing it, but they're doing it.
Ray
How did LeBron play? I'll tell you how he did. Player efficiency, 31.
Daniel Jeremiah
How many rebounds do you have?
Ray
Close to triple double.
Daniel Jeremiah
That doesn't tell me.
Ray
I mean, I remember it being 11 or 12. I remember him scoring 30 points.
Daniel Jeremiah
Whoa.
Ray
I remember having one turnover. He had one block. No steals. LeBron was phenomenal. So with him playing that Luca. Luca also had a player efficiency rating over 25. They're playing out of their pants, man.
Daniel Jeremiah
LeBron had 12 rebounds, 31 points.
Ray
And who is this kid? See, now that I'm doing my own research, I'm actually learning about these players, not betting every time I turn around. Who's this kid they got from Texas?
Daniel Jeremiah
Jackson Hayes.
Ray
I didn't know he was in the league. He's been there for five years.
Daniel Jeremiah
Oh yeah, he was played in. He played in New Orleans, I believe.
Ray
Before this guy, I thought he just got a cup of coffee. He's been there. He's built a whole Folgers plant. I didn't even know he's in the league. Man, kids great. Used to party on 6th street probably.
Daniel Jeremiah
He definitely partied on 6th Street. I never thought he. I mean, he's athletic, but I always felt like he was just running around like a chicken with his head cut off. But he seems to be kind of knowing what he's doing now.
Ray
What about Hutchimura, is he good?
Daniel Jeremiah
Hachimura? He's good. Rui. He's a good player, right?
Ray
Who are you talking about?
Daniel Jeremiah
I mean, how does this work? I don't know how you can maintain this. LeBron with 31, Luca with 32, Finney Smith with 2. Jackson Hayes 8. Austin Reeves 8. I mean, that is not sustainable. For them to score 30 points a game and carry the team, that's not sustainable.
Ray
Does it make you more excited that they're good and you're not even going to answer that? We're going to hang up and listen. They're very exciting.
Daniel Jeremiah
No, they're exciting.
Ray
They're making the playoffs better. Before it was a two headed, three headed monster, now it's four. There are four heads looking at us and they go by the names of Cleveland, the Thunder, the Celtics and the Lakers. This is going to be awesome.
Daniel Jeremiah
We'll see. But hey, they do keep winning. But hey, I like what Barkley. I mean, it was great. And then Kendrick Perkins, like get on there on Twitter and it's like, oh, we don't play around from the 4:09. We don't talk, we throw hands. So you better be. Don't be trying to duck me when you see me in the hall. Shut up. Kendrick Perkins. Like, you understand. Charles Barkley used to whoop people's ass in the NBA. Like, shut up. Like, don't be an idiot. Like Kendrick Perkins. He is so annoying. You watch him ever?
Ray
Yes. Gosh, they have him all on Zoom Calls. It's the world's worst television show and people watch it. Oh ha. Laugh. Zoom. Five zooms and one host, guys. I'll pass. Get in a studio or I ain't watching.
Daniel Jeremiah
Speaking of five zooms and one host. Rest in peace. Rest in peace. To first take. What is that one called? Around the horn.
Ray
Pti.
Daniel Jeremiah
No pti. No PTI is still there. But around the horn, which I thought was bad from the beginning and it lasted over 20 years. I mean, that's amazing.
Ray
Go to break.
Daniel Jeremiah
We'll take a break. We'll be right back.
Lunchbox
Make some noise. For the greatest shooter of all time, Steph Curry. We went live from All Star Weekend for a new podcast called Go Greatest of their era, and we ranked our top five shooters from the 2000s.
Eddie
Peja 5 Dirk 4.
Ray
Peja is elite.
Daniel Jeremiah
I'm mad him.
Ray
I left him off my list, but I still like my list.
Lunchbox
You won't believe who Steph left off his list.
Eddie
That's so tough. That's why we have these conversations.
Lunchbox
Yes, absolutely.
Eddie
Love it.
Lunchbox
Steph talked about what separates the truly elite NBA shooters.
Eddie
When you have a scouting report and you're on the list as not just a shooter, but we have specific rules for how we guard you. There's a fear factor that's associated with anytime you're wide open. Like, you might as well just count that and get on back on defense.
Lunchbox
Listen to Goat G O T e Greatest of their era on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get.
Julie Stewart Banks
Your podcasts, it's Julie Stewart Banks. I'm doing a new podcast from iHeart Podcasts and the National Hockey League, and I'm paired up with one of my favorite players, the always quotable Nate Thompson.
Nate Thompson
I wore nine NHL sweaters and I have story after story to share. And believe it or not, I have plenty to say and not just about hockey.
Julie Stewart Banks
Believe me, he does. Energy Line with Nate and JSP is the name of the podcast and it's going to be, well, it's going to be quite the ride. We're officially linemates, Nate. We're the energy Line.
Nate Thompson
We'll have plenty of folks join us, current players, some of my former teammates, hall of Famers, and wait to see some of the connections that Julie has. She has quite the Rolodex.
Julie Stewart Banks
Okay. We'll lean into Nate's playing experience and tap into our interests away from hockey and try to do it. Energy lines are supposed to to do, provide an emotional boost. How do you feel about all that, Nate?
Nate Thompson
I'm vibing Julie. I'm ready to roll.
Julie Stewart Banks
Listen to Energy Line with Nate and JSB on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Will
Hey, Will, do you ever get overwhelmed by how much science happens these days.
Justin
Constantly. I'm like, ah, there's so much science, I can't keep track of it all.
Will
Then it's a good thing. Our podcast, Part Time Genius is counting down the 25 greatest science science ideas from the past 25 years.
Justin
That's right, Mango. We're talking animals in a paper called.
Will
Quote, chickens prefer beautiful humans. This was actually the title of the paper. They all discovered that much like humans, chickens are attracted to symmetrical faces.
Ray
Got it.
Will
We're talking medical miracles.
Justin
He's an endocrinologist who found a way to stimulate insulin producing cells using, wait for it, the saliva of a Gila monster.
Will
There's no way to make that not sound crazy.
Justin
We even talked to some of the experts behind these breakthroughs. It's a week full of fact packed stories you won't want to miss. So listen to the Part Time Genius countdown of the 25 greatest science ideas of the past 25 years, starting Monday, March 3rd on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Ray
And I think it's almost a thing that Tony Reali, was he the stat boy and then became the host?
Daniel Jeremiah
Yes, he was stat boy on pti, dude. He was like, let's go to stat boy to see if we have any errors on the show. And he'd be like, actually, Tony, you said this. And it's really this. Wil Bond said this. It's actually this. And he would give and he'd be like, no errors today, guys. Good job.
Ray
And it was on the air for how many years?
Daniel Jeremiah
I think it was on for like 21 years around the horn.
Ray
Okay, so I was 18. Yeah, I never watched it into high school. I never watched it in college. Was too busy studying. It was very difficult at college for me. But then the time I did watch it is after college. Me in south beach, when we lived at the Domain together, we'd go to, we'd go to a restaurant, we'd do the happy hour. Not drinks, we do the happy hour food. So it was half price. And we'd watch PTI on the tv, the other one around the horn. And that's the only time really the memory I have of watching that show. But it was great. Apparently people loved it.
Daniel Jeremiah
I loved pti.
Ray
We know that you're Tony Reali.
Daniel Jeremiah
No, no. PTI was legit colonizer. I did watch around the Horn every once in a while, but it was just really, it was good.
Ray
Woody was good in Denver.
Daniel Jeremiah
Woody was good when, when, when when what's his name was on there. Jay Marioti.
Ray
He was great.
Daniel Jeremiah
He was great. Then he got in some trouble. Was it. Did you know that?
Ray
No. I mean, maybe give it a Google, but I'll have to do my own investigative reporting because I don't trust websites.
Daniel Jeremiah
I'm pretty sure.
Ray
Would you turn into a conspiracy theorist?
Daniel Jeremiah
Yeah. And then I was in Chicago one time and Kevin Blackstone, who was on around the Horn, was sitting there waiting for the train too. I said hi to him and I was like, hey, dude, man, I see you on Pete on Around the Horn. It's pretty cool.
Ray
Little sexist to me. I thought it was bad when the girls started coming on it. Then it became great.
Daniel Jeremiah
The one girl, Mina Times is great.
Ray
Mina Kimes.
Daniel Jeremiah
I really was.
Ray
The other one, Sabrina. I want to say carpenter.
Daniel Jeremiah
Nah, the teenage witch.
Ray
No, there was another one. She was really good. Sarah. Sarah. Helen.
Daniel Jeremiah
Oh, Sarah Evans.
Ray
Sarah. You guys will know.
Daniel Jeremiah
Rebecca Lobo.
Ray
Nope, the real ones, you guys will know Sarah Spain. Sarah Spain.
Daniel Jeremiah
That's it.
Ray
Yep.
Daniel Jeremiah
See, I got there. I'm impressed. But yeah.
Ray
Oh, I just heard Zach yell spade.
Daniel Jeremiah
Oh.
Ray
He was trying to come back in the studio. I think he's trying to get out the pod.
Daniel Jeremiah
Oh, really?
Ray
But I didn't wave him in.
Daniel Jeremiah
Oh, he was itching. He's done. But hey, I want to say that I went to get baby boxing on the box the bus the other day and he asked me, dad, will you bring my basketball to the bus stop? I want to dribble at home.
Ray
Okay. Pistol Pete.
Daniel Jeremiah
I'm like, all right, yeah, I'll bring your basketball. And I get out there and I got my Kansas hoodie on and got his basketball.
Ray
Still wear that thing?
Daniel Jeremiah
Yeah, man, we got Senior Day tomorrow, Brad.
Ray
Take the back roads.
Daniel Jeremiah
Big game. We got. Listen, we have to win tomorrow.
Ray
Let me tell you, you miss out on March. No, no, no, dude. You guys get thumped from Big 12 if they're still in that conference, you ain't making March.
Daniel Jeremiah
We're making March, Okay?
Ray
After winning it three years ago. That's sad. That's a come down stop, okay?
Daniel Jeremiah
UConn won two years in a row, and they're not in the top 25.
Ray
Okay, UConn's going to make a run. That McNamara kid puts up 40 a game. Still haven't watched him. I only see his stats and I don't even know if his name's McNamara. I know it starts definitely not McNamara.
Daniel Jeremiah
I'll guarantee that. I mean, if there's one thing I want to guarantee it's not McNamara, because.
Ray
There was another McNamara Jerry McNamara went.
Daniel Jeremiah
To and he had like 40 points in the Big east tournament that one game. And I remember it was like a quadruple overtime game. And that's how I know Jerry McNamara.
Ray
Did the Q's win it when Mar. When Carmelo was awesome.
Daniel Jeremiah
Really?
Ray
Did they win at all?
Daniel Jeremiah
Really?
Ray
Did they?
Daniel Jeremiah
Yes.
Ray
Yes.
Daniel Jeremiah
Do you know who they beat?
Ray
I don't know, but I know they won it when I was in high school. I didn't know that at the time, but doing my stat checking, I realized the Q's won it when Carmelo played.
Daniel Jeremiah
Do you know who they beat?
Ray
Kansas.
Daniel Jeremiah
Yeah.
Ray
Typically when you guys go to it, you win it.
Daniel Jeremiah
Here's the deal. That was such a painful loss because all. I mean, we missed so many free throws. So many free throws.
Ray
Was it overtime?
Daniel Jeremiah
I don't remember. I don't think it was overtime. But Carmelo Anthony was so good. And Jim Boeheim, I don't know how good of a coach he was. He coached forever. But Carmelo got him his only national title. And we should have won that game. We should have won that game. Oh, my gosh. And I believe they had Hakeem Warwick or something like one of those real. He was real skinny and tall, long. I mean, gosh. Still. That one still eats me up.
Ray
Kansas sweatshirt.
Daniel Jeremiah
Anyway, so I'm wearing the Kansas sweatshirt, go to the bus stop. Baby box gets off the bus.
Ray
Oh, let me get the horn.
Daniel Jeremiah
And a fifth grader gets off behind him.
Ray
School buses and semis have the same horn, guys.
Daniel Jeremiah
Baby box is like, here, dad, pass me the ball. And I throw it up in the air and I go, shoot. And he scores. And the fifth grader goes, unlike Kansas basketball.
Ray
He got burned at the bus stop.
Daniel Jeremiah
I'm like, is a fifth grader trolling me right now?
Ray
Yeah, run along. Scat.
Daniel Jeremiah
I said, what? And he goes, can't tell me it's not true.
Ray
Who was that kid? And I'm like, the future Tony Real?
Daniel Jeremiah
Are you Dick Vital Jr. Or what? Like, what is going on right now?
Ray
Hey, Barkley.
Daniel Jeremiah
Hey, fifth grader that just got off the bus.
Ray
Hey, Kendrick Perkins.
Daniel Jeremiah
Hey, shut your Gap. I don't need you. Listen, I already am depressed enough. And then I have a fifth grader getting off the bus making fun of my sweatshirt. And I said, I know, you're right. He goes, sad state affairs there for Kansas, isn't it?
Ray
Who is this kid? What's his dad, a lawyer?
Daniel Jeremiah
I'm like, how do you know? So Much about like college basketball.
Ray
He'll be let down in another month. Vols will be bounced second round.
Daniel Jeremiah
I don't know who he cheers for because he didn't have a. He didn't have a team sweatshirt on.
Ray
If he lives here, it's vols. Every kid, 90% of them are Vols. My nephew, Vols, niece Vols, Boomer, Vols and Michigan State.
Daniel Jeremiah
Could he be anchored down?
Ray
There might be some anchor downers.
Daniel Jeremiah
I mean, I have no idea. But this kid knows everything about how bad Kansas is and just is ripping me to shreds right there on the bus stop.
Ray
Go get your anchor. Find a boat. I just went morbid and see at the bottom of a lake, anchor down.
Daniel Jeremiah
And I had no. I had no comeback for the fifth grader. Coach anchored out because he literally hit.
Ray
Him with the horns. Anchor horns down.
Daniel Jeremiah
He literally hit me right in the gut. And he was right. He dead on.
Ray
And where's your team? Balls V down. What does that make an in mains?
Daniel Jeremiah
Victory takes victory. Dude, if I look at it right. No, it doesn't.
Ray
No, it's upside down.
Daniel Jeremiah
Falls down. So, dude, I've never been trolled by a fifth grader before, but I. I gotta say, I think this guy's got a future in sports because he knew exactly what he's talking about. He hurt. He hurt my ego, he hurt my emotions. And he embarrassed me a little bit right there on the bus stop in front of my own kid.
Ray
That is good that kids are still watching college basketball. You never know. Is it interesting to the next gener, right?
Daniel Jeremiah
Do they pay attention to stats or they just like care about their what's on their phone or their video game? But this kid, he knew Kansas sucks and he let me have it.
Ray
Like poker. Do you think poker is exciting anymore for kids? No, it actually is. Boomer told me the other day, $1 50 playing poker. And I thought, I haven't heard poker talked about in 20 years. I thought moneymaker was the last exciting thing that happened with poker.
Daniel Jeremiah
Yeah, because baby box has not talked to me about poker at all. There's no poker going on in the kindergarten classroom, so I didn't think it was very exciting for the kids.
Ray
All right, kids, put your Cheerios in the middle of the table. Mom, you got any bottle caps?
Daniel Jeremiah
I'll bet you that. Go gurt right there. I'll raise you a gogurt and two graham crackers, dude.
Ray
See, poker was about the old movies. Guys with cigars and your parents. And then money maker popularized it. And then everybody and their brother was.
Daniel Jeremiah
Playing it Money Maker with those dumb glasses.
Ray
And then you had Luke Ivey, those guys.
Daniel Jeremiah
Oh, my gosh. Those Phil Ivey, right?
Ray
Yeah, I.
Daniel Jeremiah
Those glasses, I don't even remember what was on them, but I remember seeing them and going, this tool is really wearing those glasses and thinks it helps him play poker, bro.
Ray
That tool motivated every guy that drives a tractor in America to think that they could win the World Series of poker.
Daniel Jeremiah
You're 100% right.
Ray
Because that's what he did.
Daniel Jeremiah
He was a nobody. Like, he wasn't even a professional player.
Ray
No. And he just kept getting. Winning a tournament. Winning a tournament. Started with nothing. Pot kept growing. He got put into the World Series and won it. Whatever happened to him, that would be probably depressing. That's gonna be a Netflix documentary. I can't be good.
Daniel Jeremiah
I would love to know what happened to Chris Moneymaker, whatever his last name was.
Ray
While you're at it, look up Chris Cayman and look up our boy Stefan. No, no, no. Franchise. TV franchise.
Daniel Jeremiah
Yeah.
Ray
And look up. That's it.
Daniel Jeremiah
Like, did he continue to play poker? And does he still have money? Or is Chris Moneymaker, like, back to where he was? Like, he had his rise and did he just fall off a cliff?
Ray
I almost want to say it's good because he's not in the news. So I bet he's just used that money, built himself a beautiful life, and now just plays with his buddies. Plays in small town tournaments or something. Because the World Series, it must be insanely hard to get and compete in the World Series of Poker. I do know Phil Ivey will do those, whatever his name is, celeb tournaments. He's in those. You'll see his picture. Yeah, but you never see Money Maker.
Daniel Jeremiah
Right. So does Phil Ivey like those celebrity ones? How does it work? Do they pay you to come be in it?
Ray
Memories in them? So that explains it all. He must get a certain amount of money to just go in it. He does his Instagrams. He's a big name.
Daniel Jeremiah
And then all the money that it's up for grabs. Does it go to charity or do you actually win that money?
Ray
It's got to be. I mean, unless you win first, I imagine you don't win anything. It's kind of like March Madness. It's kind of like our fantasy football pool.
Daniel Jeremiah
Hey. Oh, yeah. Cause I know that, like my buddy Austin Lewis, he's played in the World Series of Poker and he's made a little bit of money. He's never made big money, but he's made money in it. So that's pretty incredible to go that many tables to win money. And they even showed him on espn. They're like, oh, and Austin Lewis, he's out. He'll head back to Austin and go to the country club.
Ray
But those are different. When you walk by the aria and they have a cornered off area and there's a hundred tables, those people make money. Your final five people probably do.
Daniel Jeremiah
Yes.
Ray
The stuff on tv, they just put celebs, probably. And yes, it's charity involved. I've never seen Bob Menary go, holy crap. He would brag about it. So I don't think he gets paid any in it, but he just makes it seem like if he gets first, I imagine he gets something. But he gets dominated every time by the Black Widow.
Daniel Jeremiah
The Black Widow.
Ray
He'll get just crushed by some person. He'll be like, oh, I did so well, but. Or like Senor Tilt.
Daniel Jeremiah
Oh, Senor Tilt's dangerous, man. Never heard of him.
Ray
He's another guy.
Daniel Jeremiah
See, that's the thing I don't like. Do people still watch the World Series of Poker on tv? Is it still on tv?
Ray
It may be, but nobody watches it. And then there's these celeb tournaments that are probably just broadcast on YouTube and senior tilt plays in them, and he thinks he's actually good at poker, but he probably just bought his way. So you're by buying your way into these tournaments. And then these tournaments sometimes get desperate because men are. Will be like, oh, oh, oh. Last second, somebody just hit me up. I got to play in this poker tournament. So they need his celebrity name to be in it.
Daniel Jeremiah
Got it. So they want eyes on it because he's in it. He'll put it on Instagram. He's there. And the sponsors there that are sponsoring.
Ray
The need these guys to be in.
Daniel Jeremiah
It get there, and then they get there. It's just interesting. I just wonder how, like, what the appearance fee is to be in a celebrity poker tournament. How much you get got to get paid something?
Ray
Oh, yeah.
Daniel Jeremiah
They're not doing it for free men.
Ray
Or he gets 10 to 20k, probably.
Daniel Jeremiah
So Chris and Chris Moneymaker, he changed Las Vegas because after he won the World Series of Poker, that's when all the poker rooms started blowing up and they had to expand. Oh, we got to carve out a room for poker because everybody wants to play poker. And now they got all these poker rooms, and it's. They're not small and dingy, and they're nice and big and bright, and you can walk by them. And people are playing all the freaking time.
Ray
What are they not playing? Pow Gamma. And what's the one with the banker?
Daniel Jeremiah
No deal. Baccarat. Baccarat.
Ray
Guess what? Nobody's playing baccarat. Nobody's playing Kino and Powell backgammon.
Daniel Jeremiah
Is that one of them? Pow Guy poker.
Ray
That one. Nobody plays that table. Is all. If you work that one. You must just sit on your elbows for eight hours a shift.
Daniel Jeremiah
I. I don't know how those people that, like, they work two in the morning and there's no one at their table. How do they stay awake?
Ray
I thought the exact same thing. Cause it was. I was in Vegas. I was playing roulette. We had the mimosas flowing. I had the NFL because it was a Thanksgiving going on the tv. I had stuff entertaining me. I don't even think they can have their phones. This person at pal Gamma next to me. We had. Dude, we had elbows on the table. And she just had to stare without any entertainment and no one to talk to.
Daniel Jeremiah
I mean, you're just sitting there quiet.
Ray
Dog Ray.
Daniel Jeremiah
Raw dog. No. And you're hearing the same music or the same music.
Ray
Like no airpods in she all she had. She must have the best theater of the mind. Dude, she just daydreams the entire time because you got to stay up. You can't fall asleep. You can't look at your phone.
Daniel Jeremiah
That's miserable.
Ray
Somebody actually comes to your table, you're like, thank you.
Daniel Jeremiah
Please sit down.
Ray
Please. Ain't nobody going to that. Nobody has popularized pal Gamma.
Daniel Jeremiah
Oh, man. We'll take a break. We'll be right back.
Lunchbox
Make some noise for the greatest shooter of all time, Steph Curry. We went live from all star weekend for a new podcast called Goat greatest of their era. And we ranked our top five shooters from the 2000s.
Eddie
Peja 5. Dirk Ford.
Ray
Peja is a.
Lunchbox
Okay, okay.
Daniel Jeremiah
I'm mad him.
Ray
I left him off my list, but I still like my list.
Lunchbox
You won't believe who Steph left off his list.
Eddie
That's so tough. That's why we have these conversations.
Lunchbox
Yes, Absolutely.
Eddie
Love it.
Lunchbox
Steph talked about what separates the truly elite NBA shooters.
Eddie
When you have a scouting report and you're on the list as not just a shooter, but we have specific rules for how we guard you. There's a fear factor that's associated with anytime you're wide open, like, you might as well just count that and get on back on defense.

Daniel Jeremiah
I got to get there. I'm going to get there like 5 o'clock, get all lubed up. I'm going to get a. Just look at the ground. You know, sort of like NFL players do when they come out and they walk around the field and they check it out and the caddy walks the course before a tournament. I got to walk the Demolition Derby. I got to walk the arena. Arena. Cooper Seal Arena. I got to go down there and be like, oh, there's a little bit of dirt out of place here. That bumper looks a little weak. I might want to put some, you know, duct tape on there. And then someone told me on Facebook that I'm going to be really sore afterwards.
Ray
Dude, you got a video. You. You just in your head imagining all the amazing things that could happen, and then it's just you running into a wall in the end of the night.
Daniel Jeremiah
And there goes my radiator. And it's just. There's coolant that just leaks all over the. Well, that was fun, guys.
Ray
This is one of those things where you envision. Oh, bachelor party. Aw, wedding. Awesome. For lack of a better thought, this. You think you're going to win the race and you're going to be celebrated as some champion. There's going to be, like, one hill, and you're going to freaking fork knife it and into a.
Daniel Jeremiah
Into a wall, and my tire is going to pop, and I'm not going to be able to move on. I remember last year, get the air.
Ray
Conditioner, get the fire extinguisher.
Daniel Jeremiah
It's on fire. There's flames coming out of the hood. This car. Before the whole thing, he's doing donuts, getting everybody revved up. Lot of show, and everybody's going crazy. And they're like, all right, ladies and gentlemen, on your mark, get set. Let's start the Mad Dog Devolution Derby.
Ray
You already ready?
Daniel Jeremiah
His Transmission went out immediately. Never got off the starting line. Never got. Never got to move. Just dead.
Ray
Dude. Seth, you want to be a grower, not a shower. You sit back until that flag drops.
Daniel Jeremiah
Oh, he was a shower. I mean, he was before. Like, everybody's going crazy. Yeah, yeah. They're freaking out. You know what I mean? And then he never got to even participate.
Ray
Dude, I don't know if they've told you what to wear. You got to be throwing on a helmet. And I would put on some glasses. There's gonna be so much mud and dirt.
Daniel Jeremiah
There's gonna be dirt. So I gotta have protectors. I don't even think about that.
Ray
Bring your own from home. You almost want ski goggles for that crap.
Daniel Jeremiah
I don't have ski goggles, dude.
Ray
Well, you're already at a deficit.
Daniel Jeremiah
I'm already gonna lose. I know. They gotta provide helmets, right?
Ray
And what's that?
Daniel Jeremiah
I show up in my bike helmet.
Ray
But are. Do they have a padded outfit you're gonna wear? Are you just rolling up in jeans? 10 and a T shirt?
Daniel Jeremiah
Jeans Tennessee tennis shirt? Tennis jeans, tennis shoes and a T shirt? I think that's what I'm rolling up in.
Ray
That doesn't sound good. They do make these. Abby got them for me. They're little heated things, but you want the opposite of this. They also go to air conditioning. Put a couple of those in your shirt.
Daniel Jeremiah
Oh, that's.
Ray
It's going to get hot in there, dude.
Daniel Jeremiah
Oh, it is. I mean, the exhaust, everything. And the boom and the, and the bouncing and the bumping and I. I mean, maybe I can pick someone out of the crowd and they can ride with me.
Ray
Me, I. I'm curious though, how strict they are. Are they going to let you race your race or are they telling you the path you're going to go?
Daniel Jeremiah
No, I get to make up my own race. I get to do whatever I want to do.
Ray
Clockwise, counterclockwise, which you.
Daniel Jeremiah
No, no, I got to go the way the track goes, Ray.
Ray
It's already a predetermined 10 foot strip. I'm going to be doing.
Daniel Jeremiah
No, no, I'm not going to go the opposite way of Nitro Ned, dude. I mean, that would be so stupid. Then we have a head on collision.
Ray
Hey, Nitro Ned, are we going to choreograph this?
Daniel Jeremiah
A Nitro Ned. We're going to go. Wwe. Are we going to go Mad Dog Demolition Derby?
Ray
Dude, you got to have a beer or something when they interview you to hype up the crowd. You got to do something you smash it on your head. It's got to be all, all glam because I'm telling you it's not going to be. Not just because you're a rookie racer, I don't really think you're going to be able to bring it. So you got to be all pizzazz, a lot of sizzle because the staking going to be there unless you know the pedals like the back of your hand.
Daniel Jeremiah
Yeah, here's the problem. If you're not allowed to drink, you can't get behind the wheel.
Ray
You're not drinking it, you're smashing on your head. Yeah, you're a big character.
Daniel Jeremiah
So I'm like, welcome to the Mad Dog Demolition derby and Shelbyville, Tennessee.
Ray
There you go. And then what is his name? Nickel Ned or what's his nitro net? Yeah, dude, he just friggin t boned you.
Daniel Jeremiah
Oh. Saturday March 8th I hope I'll see you there. Cooper Steel Arena. Get your tickets. Motorhead events.com. i know Ray and Bay aren't going. And now let's see if Justin texted and said, hey, I'll be there. Mad Dog Demolition Derby. I wouldn't miss it.
Ray
Text from Justin hasn't been talked to me actually. His sister was in town and then he was mad at me. I didn't do the escape game. I've been comparing him. He said something about the Donic to LA trade, I don't remember And I just said the analogy is I said and yeah, you're Dorian Finney Smith. And so and so then, and so and so then I texted him this morning, I go, and Dorian Finney Smith sucked last night. Thanks. And he goes, I don't give a rat's bump butthole about Dorian Smith. And then I said Ohio State will be spending March in Key west and that's not a bracket location. You better hope the football team brings in all the nil money because the basketball team couldn't afford Fritz. He's our old guy at the apartment. He's like 80 and homeless, doing ads for a car wash. And then Justin hit me with they're a projected 11 seed dummy. It's a playing game. Not even a playing game. Playing game versus Arkansas. I don't know, maybe he did his own research. Like I said, ESPN bracketology has no idea who your team's playing. Do your own research. And Joel and Art, he doesn't know crap.
Daniel Jeremiah
He knows everything.
Ray
Yeah, because he'll tell you that fairly. Dickinson's playing Kansas. Well, guess what? Guess who Kansas is playing nit.
Daniel Jeremiah
That.
Ray
Coach, you're looking at the wrong bracket. Yours starts with an N and ends with a T.
Daniel Jeremiah
Hey, we know where that championship's at. It's in New York. You don't have to worry about going to San Antonio.
Ray
Oh, is that where it's at?
Daniel Jeremiah
Yeah. Alamo Dome, baby. Wow. San Antonio. I need to text Minnie Woolo, see if he's going.
Ray
I'm kind of let down. I knew that Super Bowl. I was always knowing that was New Orleans, but I didn't even know March Madness was Alamo.
Daniel Jeremiah
Yeah, they're going down there. They're heading down to the Riverwalk and they're going to be partying up. I'm going to text Minnie William, be like, hey, you going to see your boy Duke?
Ray
Got to say, that's one of the worst locations. Yeah, well, the Alamo Dome was. This is the at&t thing.
Daniel Jeremiah
No, no, they're doing it. The Alamo Dome.
Ray
They are?
Daniel Jeremiah
Yeah.
Ray
Oh, that's the worst location.
Daniel Jeremiah
It is terrible for.
Ray
Oh, my gosh, it's God awful.
Daniel Jeremiah
It's so bad.
Ray
Decided this.
Daniel Jeremiah
It's because they can fit so many people in there.
Ray
That's why there's no basketball feel.
Daniel Jeremiah
No. Oh, dude. I used to work there when the spurs played in the Alamo Dome the first couple years, and they would just put a curtain down halfway through to like.
Ray
Right.
Daniel Jeremiah
It's such a terrible basketball arena because.
Ray
The sound just escapes it.
Daniel Jeremiah
It's awful, right?
Ray
It seems like you're watching dirt bike racing. You know what I'm saying?
Daniel Jeremiah
No.
Ray
With a basketball.
Daniel Jeremiah
It's awful, dude. But what are you doing this weekend? Anything?
Ray
Parents are coming to town.
Daniel Jeremiah
Really? You didn't tell me this.
Ray
They're doing a cross country trip.
Daniel Jeremiah
They're headed.
Ray
They're all over the place. They're going Tennessee, Arkansas, there's gotta be another state in there. Then Texas, then Arizona, New Mexico, back up through Missouri, Kansas, then Wisconsin, Michigan. It's like a month trip, but they're swinging down by us.
Daniel Jeremiah
Dang. That's what retired life's like, huh?
Ray
Well, my dad just had hip surgery, so I don't. He's like trying to win some award or something. Like, dad, I don't know what you're trying to prove, but he's going across the country at nine days after I've been hip surgery.
Daniel Jeremiah
Is he gonna come in here and do the pod?
Ray
He should. Do you want to do it on Sunday?
Daniel Jeremiah
Yeah.
Ray
They're only here one day.
Daniel Jeremiah
Oh, why not? Well, no, I'm. No, no, I'm Good. I don't think I'm gonna. I can't make it on Sunday, man. Sorry.
Ray
But, yeah, we are. I think we're just doing a restaurant here, restaurant there. It's gonna be nice out. I might try and sneak and do golf on Saturday. I would love to do some golf today, but we don't get out of here until about 4:00pm anymore.
Daniel Jeremiah
Yeah, that's the rough part. Friday, 4:00pm oh, great.
Ray
A 1:00pmT time.
Daniel Jeremiah
Cool.
Ray
We'll be in the middle of our shift. Like, what? Dude, I used to always be able to do a 1pm tea time. Not anymore. Parents wanted me to go to San Antonio because that's one of their stops.
Daniel Jeremiah
Yeah, I said, I don't know.
Ray
We get done on Friday at 4pm Can I come at midnight? Like, what?
Daniel Jeremiah
Oh, you were going to fly down to San Antonio. Yeah, but for what?
Ray
A day?
Daniel Jeremiah
For the Final Four.
Ray
I don't think it works out like that. Because they're doing it. The tournament doesn't start for a week and a half.
Daniel Jeremiah
You're right.
Ray
They'll be halfway through their trip.
Daniel Jeremiah
Hey, Wyndham Clark is on fire. He's minus six right now. Shane Lowry minus six. I mean, we got high. Oh, Rory's trying to make a move. Justin Thomas minus one. This is. Whoo.
Ray
I may need to watch this when I've taken the last couple off. Is this one Bay Hill?
Daniel Jeremiah
Yeah, right.
Ray
It's a beautiful spot. Consider it a vacation spot. And we're also planning our summer vacation, so we've been researching like crazy, man.
Daniel Jeremiah
I need to plan something. I haven't done anything.
Ray
Laura threw out Bazer. Hawaii, because I fly for. I'm. I fly for free.
Daniel Jeremiah
What?
Ray
I'm companion panion.
Daniel Jeremiah
How so?
Ray
We use the Southwest credit card for everything.
Daniel Jeremiah
Legit.
Ray
We're 40k in debt, dude. But I fly for free, dude. So we thought, hey, why not pick the most expensive location? So we got Hawaii. I kind of want to do Bahamas. I found a dope island there. And she's throwing out Panama City. We found a spot there.
Daniel Jeremiah
But I do like the fact that you're 40k in debt. But for a week. What's the month but I get to fly for?
Ray
Hey, that joke's over. I got another thing. Panama City. What's the most you would pay in Panama City? A house by the beach for one week. What's the most you'd pay?
Daniel Jeremiah
I don't know. I've never thought of it. A thousand.
Ray
We found a house for 2.5, but it's right on the beach.
Daniel Jeremiah
That's pretty cool.
Ray
Would you pay 2.5? I'm guessing no, because that's kind of what I'm on. I'm like, cool. And then I can work for six months. Like, what? But you're right on the beach.
Daniel Jeremiah
Yeah, that's tough.
Ray
So we're deciding between that Hawaii place in the Bahamas. But baser wants all inclusive. It's. If it's Bahamas and these islands don't do all inclusive because she's terrified of people kidnappings. Kidnappings. They take us and shop us around Mexico. Sex trade. So she won't do Bahamas, but she'll do Panama City. She's secure in a house.
Daniel Jeremiah
Yeah. I mean, I have no idea. I don't know. I don't travel, so I don't know about. You go to these exotic locations that I don't know anything about. I can't help you, man.
Ray
Really don't, though. The research leads us.
Daniel Jeremiah
I literally don't even know where the. I mean, the Bahamas are. Down by Florida. The.
Ray
They're right next to it.
Daniel Jeremiah
Okay.
Ray
Yeah, They're Nassau, all that. So we start with Panama City beach.
Daniel Jeremiah
Then we move over Puerto Rico, man.
Ray
That's a good one.
Daniel Jeremiah
We. Puerto Rico is amazing.
Ray
And it's a US territory.
Daniel Jeremiah
Yeah, I've been to Puerto Rico. My cousin was getting her PhD down there and she took us, and it was amazing.
Ray
Never been so inexperience probably is going to rule that one out.
Daniel Jeremiah
Well, I've never been either, man. And it didn't ruin it. And we went to Biolescent Bay, like, at night. The freaking water, like, is. You put your ore in and it highlight like. It's like.
Ray
It.
Daniel Jeremiah
It's so fantastic.
Ray
It's that beautiful.
Daniel Jeremiah
Dude. It was great.
Ray
So the Hawaii thing, my parents want to go do a big family trip. Biggest family trip in 40 years. They want to do Hawaii.
Daniel Jeremiah
Whoa.
Ray
Later on or another year.
Daniel Jeremiah
Got it.
Ray
Well, the problem with Hawaii is what if we hit him with, hey, love that idea. The big Hawaii family trip. We're going in June. We'll let you guys know how it is.
Daniel Jeremiah
Oh.
Ray
So it kind of steals the thunder.
Daniel Jeremiah
And that's kind of steal thunder. That's tough.
Ray
So we're down to Panama City in the Bahamas.
Daniel Jeremiah
Okay. No, Costa Rica, it's out.
Ray
It got ruled out. Baza has to do all inclusive. And I said, that's not how you do Costa Rica.
Daniel Jeremiah
No.
Ray
You got to be with the monkeys and the people and the town buses, all that stuff.

Daniel Jeremiah
Oh, no, yeah, we. No, we definitely got to go. All right. Hey, you got to stop it. All right, all right, I'll stop it. Yeah. Man. Baser was not joking when she said, Ray has to be out of here. He has to be out of here. She was going to be here to pick him up. Dang, cracking that whip. All right. Trying to get up and get. Turn that off. Oh, man. Oh, guys. Oh, man. We forgot to talk about the guys in Kansas City that there was charges brought about. The. The guys that froze to death. I don't know if you guys are familiar with this story or not, but it feels like it was two years ago, year and a half ago. This guy had some friends over to watch the Kansas City Chiefs game. And three days later, three of his friends were found frozen in his backyard. And there was no charge. And he was like, I didn't even know they were back there. Even though people had been calling him and calling him and calling him. And he said, oh, I was asleep upstairs. I didn't know. And one of the guys fiance broke into the house and found the guys frozen in the backyard. But now he's facing charges, and I'm trying to find the article where he's facing charges so I can pull up everything and tell you my opinion, even though you don't care about my opinion. But it. It's very important. It's very important. Here we go. Come on. Computer takes forever. I need to. Need to get a new computer. No, not trying to click on that page. Give. Oh, my gosh, guys, this is not good. Frozen guys. Kansas City City. All right, here we go. There we go. Too charged. Here we go. I don't understand why they're facing charges. So charge. Two suspects in the deaths of three men frozen outside of a home. Why are they charged? Why does that not have any writing? Why is that only video? I don't. I don't need video. I need news. Okay, let's go down here. Come on. All right, here we go. I don't understand why they're charged. Um, Here we go. Sorry, guys. The chemist, friend of the three Kansas City Chiefs fans found dead in a backyard more than a year ago, and another man were booked on manslaughter charges Wednesday. According to authorities, the three friends died from a lethal combination of fentanyl and cocaine after the pals gathered to watch a Chiefs game on January 7, 2024. Their bodies were found two days later outside in freezing temperatures. The two defendants are facing three counts each of involuntary manslaughter and two counts of delivering a controlled substance. So why Here we go? Investigators found drugs in Willis home during a search of the property, including a bag of cocaine that mostly had Willis DNA on it and another bag of fentanyl, which had Carson's DNA on it, he said. A witness told authorities he was at the home with three the victims for the game when he saw a large plate of cocaine supplied by Willis for the rest of the group. The three dead friends and Willis then went to Willis's home following the game later that night, where they drank, smoked marijuana and used cocaine. Another pal told them police found messages on Harrington's phone that indicated Carson allegedly supplied Harrington with cocaine. See, they're saying this is a message to the drug dealer that gave him fentanyl. But I don't understand. Maybe I'm crazy, but these guys voluntarily took the cocaine. They knew what they were doing. So why is the guy, like, why are they being charged? Like, I wanted cocaine, so I bought cocaine, or you. There's cocaine on the table. Hey, can I have some of that? And it's terribly tragic and. But you decided you wanted to do the cocaine, so I don't really understand why these guys are being charged. I don't. I don't get that. I. When someone gets killed with a gun, we don't charge the person that sold them the gun with a crime. So why are we selling the per charging of the person that sold the drugs? I just. I don't get it. I. That, that I do not understand. I feel like if you, if there is drugs there or if you go buy drugs, you are taking that risk. That is not the responsibility of them. You don't get charged for. If a gun shop sells a gun, they don't get charged with murder. They don't get charged with manslaughter. So why is the drug dealer. Why is the guy's house. Who the drugs are on the table? Why is he in trouble? You decided to do that. Cocaine. I'm sorry. It had fentanyl. Maybe you. I don't know. I'm anti. That. I. I don't. Call me crazy, but I. I gotta go. Have a great weekend. I didn't mean to talk about that without Ray, but I mean, BAE was here to pick him up, so he had to go. And I just remember that we were supposed to talk about that, so. All right. Yeah. Have a great weekend, guys. I gotta go over and turn this off. Bye. Bye. Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye. Geico's motorcycle expertise means I'm covered by.
Ray
People who know bikes like I do.
Daniel Jeremiah
I'm happy as a clam. No, conclusive scientific research has shown clams can experience happiness. I just meant that I feel really good about my coverage. I mean, even if you took the clam out for the best day ever, visiting the zoo, taking a scenic ride, knowing you're insured by specialists, and sharing a strawberry ice cream cone together, the clam would not feel happy. And your strawberry cone would taste sort of clammy. If Geico's motorcycle specialists who know bikes like you to assume no liability for clammy ice cream cones. GEICO expertise for your motorcycle.
