Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Ray Flies Solo

• Reason for Solo Episode: Lunchbox is ill (“still infected”), so Ray records to keep the show on schedule with management.
• Opening Vibe: Self-deprecating, playful, and informal, referencing how tough solo podcasting is and poking fun at himself.
  • “I'm the last remaining survivor. Everybody else died. Dud or guy dead. Lunchbox dead.” (03:09)

2. Life Updates & Setting

• Living in the country with wife (“Bazer”) on 2.3 acres; farm life, yard work, and local color.
• Encounters with workers who don’t speak English and communication barriers over landscaping costs.
  • “He won't tell me how much it costs, what, when he's coming. So then he shows up. My wife's got the window open, and she's in the shower.” (05:00)

3. Family & Early Childhood Anecdotes

• Wonders about childhood milestones like who walked or talked first among siblings, leading to a nostalgic reflection on family dynamics.
  • “Did I walk first? So I hit up my mom, and she goes, no, your brother walked first. She goes, but you were verbal six months ahead of him. That's wild.” (06:13)
  • Suggests listeners ask their parents about such milestones.

4. Injuries and Shoutouts

• Tristan, a friend from Michigan, is on the injury list (groin), and Ray sends well wishes. Contrasts this with Lunchbox’s own health issues.
  • “Tristan is on the injury list… groin region, not the same thing as Lunchbox. His lunch is testicular and Boomer’s is groin.” (07:15)

5. Friends Moving Away & Community

• Reflects on the sadness of losing friends to relocation.
  • “All our best friends moved away. So we're in the market. Next Sore Losers Convention… we'll be looking for best friends.” (08:08)
• Injects humor and a plug for their fan convention.

6. Thoughts on Marriage & Teamwork

• Offers practical and heartfelt advice about the upsides of marriage—mainly the sense of calm and built-in teamwork, from finances to household chores.
  • “It's not that hard… it brings such a sense of calm. That's why you have to get married... you're on a team then, is the best way I can put it.” (09:47)
  • Emphasizes shared financial goals and the division of housework.

7. Gambling, Money, and Self-Improvement

• Details how quitting gambling freed up money for health and wellness supplements (collagen, glutathione, NAD, gut health pills, hair medication).
  • “That is why I'm so happy. I don't gamble anymore. I actually have money to make sure I live longer.” (11:44)
• Encourages listeners to redirect gambling funds into self-care.

8. The Value in Being “Middle Class” vs. Being Rich

• Rants about the downsides of wealth—the expectations, the need to socialize at fancy places, versus the simple pleasure of picking up a 12-pack and relaxing at home.
  • “There's nothing better than just being like a little middle class to lower class. Like, who wants to get all dressed up and go to steak every Friday night? I don't.” (13:00)
  • Notable quote: “Who wants to have to get people amazing birthday presents because you're rich? Truckers get me.” (13:40)
• Celebrates the authenticity of regular, down-to-earth experiences.

9. The Masters: Golf Obsession and Family Scheduling

• Excited for The Masters golf tournament, but laments the clash between his plans and those of his wife, who schedules social activities over key viewing times.

  • “Does she not know Masters is four days straight from 8 am till 5 pm?... How is it a Master's weekend, and I'm not watching the Masters the entire weekend?” (15:40)

• Reminisces about not watching golf with his dad growing up and how he came to appreciate the event.

  • “It's just the pageantry of it all... you sit, you're never gonna have a better nap than when you're watching the Masters.” (16:50)
  • Does a playful Jim Nantz impression.

• Tiger Woods and The Masters:

  • Raises doubts about Tiger's ability to compete given well-publicized personal issues.
  • “You're telling me Tiger was… had two benzos in his pocket a week and a half out, so effed up that he was given a DUI… and he was going to play the Masters?” (17:45)

10. Parent-Child Relationships

• Poses a thoughtful (and somewhat neurotic) question:
  • “When do parents realize they're not going to get along with their kids?... what is that age when you're like, dang, man, not gonna get along with them?” (18:35)
• Invites feedback from listeners on social media.

11. Generational Dress and Casual Culture

• Jokingly complains about kids' casual attire at formal events, blaming Gen Z for a cultural shift:
  • “This next generation, they're going to dress terribly... slides on Boomer… Kid wore a T-shirt. I was in collar.” (21:09)
  • Notes the tradition of dressing up is fading.

12. Masters Picks & Analysis

• Shares his and Lunchbox’s Masters picks: Lunchbox is all-in on Xander Schauffele; Ray tosses out names like Rose, Lowry, and Reed.
  • Analyzes player form and throws playful shade: “Day is sneaky good. Whatever. Give me Rose or Lowry… that's your statistical citizen, even though there was no statistics involved.” (22:33)

13. Is Ray’s Wife Giving Up On Golf?

• Debates if his wife is losing interest in golf, as her engagement seems to dwindle to just buying accessories.
  • “She’s probably about 50% giving up. I’m curious if she brings it up this weekend…” (23:45)

14. Options Trading Explained

• Provides a (humorously confused) breakdown of options trading vs. traditional stock trading; relays both successes and losses, highlighting the learning curve.
  • “Everyone always says, stock, you buy low, sell high. Options trading, you have access with a small budget... I just don’t know why other people don't do it!” (24:45)
  • Candid about setbacks due to world events: “War affected that too… I go in and I'm like, okay, let's go, let's get on this. Tesla tanks $200. Well, what happened?” (31:47)
  • Uses self-directed humor about financial risk.

[Sore Loser / Main Podcast Speaker (continued)]

All?

[Sore Loser / Main Podcast Speaker]

It is Scissor. I Munda. I'm from the north. I'm an alpha male. I live on the north side of Nashville with Bayser, my wife. We are married. We were engaged at one point, but, yeah, we live in the country. 2.3 acres right now. They're working on the crops. We got fer in the dirt. They mowed it. It's great. Got the shrubs, all heads all. Everything's perfect right now. Got it cut up for the summer. I think they're actually going to do some fert. Not even fert. Some pesticide on the dandelions. Also. Good song by L.L. langley. It's out today. Shameless Plug. So that's kind of what's going on. The. Even though the guy that does it for me doesn't speak English. So I'm talking to this guy in Costa Rica, My slang from there. And I'm trying to get a price on him. He won't tell me how much it costs, what, when he's coming. So then he shows up. My wife's got the window open, and she's in the shower. Hey, probably won't be any sound effects in a new studio. Battleground, Aforementioned. All right, so all this stuff, I'm. I'm almost of the mind that if something sucks, I just move on. I don't even end it. Just keep going. But, yeah, so my mom, she was saying this to Kevin, and then I sent it to Kevin. Tell me I didn't delete that. Anyways, basically what it was, Kevin, the guy that's also on 25, whistles his kids. One of them was walking, I believe the boy. The girl didn't. So that led me to wonder, did I walk first? So I hit up my mom, and she goes, no, your brother walked first. She goes, but you were verbal six months ahead of him. That's wild. So maybe ask your parents today if they're still with us. Just say, hey, who walked first? I guess it only really applies if you're close in age to another family member. Or maybe if you were ahead of your class when it comes to your friends that you brought over, where you're more verbal. Next segment. Man, Tristan is on the injury list. The Mary, Michigan. Damn, bro. And it's like, it's cold. They just had 48 inches of snow two weeks ago, and they think they're going to pitch. And they got games this weekend. He was coming down and did something with the groin, and he's on the DL, so I think he's out two to three weeks. So our prayers up. Love you, kid. It should be fine, but groin region, not the same thing as lunchbox. His lunches is testicular and Boomers is groin. Oh, yeah. This is kind of sad. So all our friends moving away with me and Bazer, first it was Justin plants his dog in our yard and then moves to Michigan. Bro, when you plant that, isn't that some sort of longevity whatsoever? But he just. And he's gone. I. I think he could be there for the foreseeable future because he's got a job now, and it made it sound like he had a house. And I'm. I'm just. What? What? You had a pile of money sitting around. He just bought a house in Michigan, but Lane's cheap there. Hey. Oh. And so Justin moves away. Now we find out Heather, our best friend, her kids come over to her house, she's moving away. She's going back to Louisiana. And it's. It's like all our best friends moved away. So we're in the market. Next Sore Losers Convention, shameless plug, January 15th through the 17th. Nashville. We're going to be looking for best friends. On to other things. My thoughts on marriage. So everybody's got these big thoughts and they always say, oh, it's so hard. It's not that hard. My thing is, it's. It brings such a sense of calm. That's why you have to get married. Because then all of a sudden, there's no urge to go to the titters. There's no urge to put down 20 beers occasionally. It's just a sense of calm you need. You go to the country and you're at peace. You drive into your job, you're at peace. So all that to say, oh, yeah, teamwork. That was my main point, that it's the finances where, hey, let's put our money together and try and pave a driveway. Try and actually get a house. That happened after we got married. And it's also the, hey, you're good at laundry. What if I do dishes, you clean the floors, and then I make the beds? That's also awesome when you get to teamwork. It like that. It doesn't happen when you're just dating. And for the most part, it's the same as when we were dating. But I want to tell you, guys get married just because of that. You're on a team then, is the best way I can put it. I mean, do you want to join the major leagues? You want to be in the NBA? You want to be NBA DL like LeBron, kid. Having money to buy supplements. What the. Took some notes here and some of them are terrible, but no, no, no. So, yeah, when I was gambling, I never had that extra money. So now I want to tell you guys, the supplements I'm on. I mean, I got collagen. I'm on nad, nad, the glutathione. All this stuff just great for you. I'm on that keratin makes your skin look better. Collagen too. And the some of this gut stuff align apparently puts like, I don't know, microbes in your gut or something. I got the daily allergy in my belly. I got the daily allergy in my nose. I have stuff for my hair. I got the oral. Yeah, it's one of the orals. It's the Finasteride, oral minoxidil, dutasteride. So it's. That is why I'm so happy. I don't gamble anymore. I actually have money to make sure my. I live longer. The hair thing, that's not living longer, but the other stuff really is. So if you're gonna stop gambling today or tone it down, you'll actually have money for other things. It's crazy. The. Oh, thoughts on never wanting to be too rich. This is pretty deep. So everybody always said, you think that you want to be rich, but is there anything better than going to the gas station, getting a 12 pack, and just going back to your house and just doing nothing? Whereas if you're rich, you got to go to the steak dinners you got. You got friends that are all rich. The thing I was smart with, with Billy. I don't know if this episode is gonna be funny. Maybe it's just me just like on a diatribe. I have no idea. But when Billy. Billy knew I was never rich. Billy met me at my poorest and I would. So it's just like when I go out with Billy. Boom. He knows if we want. If we want the dancers, the girls that ring the bottle. Correction, that. Then he's paying for it. You know, me and Basil pay for bar stool drinks, but he just knows that going in, you want the extras. If that's a Billy thing. Stanchion guy. Hey, we got to get these stanchions up. Hey, Billy, I'm going to put these stanchions up. We got to get you guys back. That's a Billy thing. Whereas me and Bazer, you know, just. There's nothing better than just being like a little middle class to lower class. Like, who wants to get all dressed up and go to steak every Friday night? I don't. Who wants to have to get people amazing birthday presents because you're rich? I don't think about this. Truck drivers. I don't have the soundies, but you guys know what I'm saying. There is something to be just chilling in that middle class. Who wants to be so rich that you have to stay at this nice hotel or. Hello, sir, welcome. Yes, hello. Your room is ready. Hello. Would you like a warm towel? No, dude. I mean, what am I gonna do with that off? Like, what do I want with a warm towel? No, I want to stay at just a middle of the road hotel in Charleston where it's got a pool that's not dirty. But you got like bartenders got tattoos and they're slightly hungover. I Don't care for. Hello, sir, Would you like another champagne? No, man, I'm just going to take my 12th seltzer. And you know what? You don't even got to wait on me. I'll come up there, drunkenly stumble up to the bar and grab it like there's something to that. Truckers get me. Don't you want to just pull up to a truck stop, the couple lizards come out? Or if you're a rich trucker, you want to have to go to like you got your chrome pipes, you got to go get cleaned. You're driving around a chrome truck. Ain't driving a chrome truck into a lot lizard. Like, only the middle class, lower class truckers can go get the lot lizards, the rich ones, man, you got to park in nice gas stations so you don't get jacked, you don't get robbed, man, you got somebody trying to steal your chrome pipes. Moving on, Masters lunch says Xander's gonna win it. I gotta kind of think of my angle on that one. But this weekend for sure. Watching the Masters the whole time. But I tell Baser that and she goes, oh, well, yeah, we'll do Mexican tonight. We'll do Laguna beach reunion, and then we're gonna go do brunch tomorrow. And. But I'm thinking to myself, she hasn't even heard this yet. Does she not know Masters is four days straight from 8am till 5pm I mean, if you start scheduling other stuff, then we're not just watching the Masters this whole weekend. Like Bazer, come on. Come on. The. Oh, and she said. I said, Mexican food. Maybe that's another thing. That Mexican food place ain't going to put on Masters. They put on football. And then birthday Sunday, got my niece, lover Claire, love her. But then, well, I'm like, it's at 4pm that. That's the absolute peak of the Masters. At 4pm it's just like, just not going to work. How am I. How is it a Master's weekend? And it's viewed right now as a Master's weekend. And I'm not watching the Masters the entire weekend. It's just, oh, man. And then the Masters talk. There's a little inside, inside info. Masters. I didn't watch the Masters. I was in college. My dad Never once in 18 years said, hey, heard some guys at work talking about the Masters. I know I'm way too cheap to take you guys golfing. That's an expensive sport. We go down to the baseball field with a ball and a bat is free. Listen, I Heard some guys at work talking at the mill, and they said that they watched this golf tournament that's called the Masters. Like, why did he never once say that in 18 years? So, yeah, I went to college, watched it, and I was hooked. But it's just the pageantry of it all. You sit, you're never gonna have a better nap than when you're watching the Masters. Just birds. I tell you what, Jim Nance, a butterfly just landed on my. The Masters on cbs. Jim Nance here from Augusta. Maya, there are a lot of dirty birds here and outside of the confines, but we're safe indoors. That doesn't mean tonight at the. It'll get wild. But as we speak now, I'm hoping the hangover wears off with my azalea. Jim Nance, the Masters. It's just the most beautiful thing to take a nap to. It really is Tiger like, come on. Come on, guys. Was he gonna. Like if he was gonna. The only. This is an angle I haven't heard yet, so I want to say it. If he was gonna play the Masters, you're telling me March 27, when he hit the fertilizer truck and flipped it, the ranger over on its side of Jupiter Island. March 27, you're telling me Tiger was. Had two benzos in his pocket a week and a half out, so effed up that he was given a dui, Bro was. And you're telling me he was going to play the Masters in a week and a half? I mean, I start getting the Sunday scaries on Saturday when I know I got to face bones and the music on Monday. And Tiger was going to face the biggest golf tournament with Benzo still in the system. I mean, I would have been having insane scaries. Like, there's just no way he was ever going to play in the Masters. That's my take. When do parents realize. This is my question. When do parents realize they're not going to get along with their kids? See, that's my fear. You have a kid and all of a sudden, you know, he's. He's into painting. I'm not into painting, you know, or it's, hey, dad, I'm going to. I'm going to just sit in my room all day. It's like, Boomer. I know I could get along with Boomer. We play basketball together, Papa Shot. We're golfing. We're doing cold plunge running together, video games, two kids. I know I get along with Boomer, but how do you know with your kid when you're. If it's gonna. If you're gonna vibe with the kid, I Wonder, is it 8, 9, 10? And then at that point that day when you're not vibing, it's like you go to the golf course and the kid stays home playing with dolls. And it's like, man, I'm just not gonna have that close relationship with my kids. I wonder, Lunch is getting along with his kids, so I'm wondering next year, does he. Do they start to kind of drift apart? It's one of those, it's one. It's as a non parent, I'm like, what is that age when you're like, dang, man, not gonna get along with them? Yeah, we'll be close, but man, just not the same interests. Tell us, tell us on the Facebook, what is the age? You found out the next generation is gonna dress blank. What? We'll take a break. We'll take a break and we'll be back after this. See, I don't even know how to tell time because this stupid ass computer, It tells time in like milliseconds of a tenth of a quarter hour. How the am I going to tell lunchbox what the time is? All right, we'll take a break. We will take a break. We'll be back.

[e-mail] all right, like I said, this next generation, they're going to dress terribly. And there's no question they got the slides on Boomer. We had an Easter service. Kid wore a T shirt. I was in collar. Dad's in collar bays are dressed mom wearing pink Boomer in a T shirt. And it was okay that like. Cause the, the generation, the Jenny's couple before us, those Jennies had the suits on. You know, women got the heels, the skirts on. But like that we started, started the dressing started to deteriorate. So now with Boomer generation, it's straight T shirt and slides. It's gonna be bad. It's gonna, it's gonna be bad. I'm just warning you guys. So okay, who wins the Masters statistical season? Let's pull it up again. It's kind of already started so it's not like I'm totally going cold it but you got to cut it off at like even I would say unless a guy gets real hot like Matsuyama. Yeah, nobody's winning it below Matsuyama. So Kepka's semi hot. Ish. But it just so much time off and he's with Sims and I mean her and him are Playing hanky panky. He's not winning that speed. The frustrations are there. He's missing easy birdies. I say no. You gotta look to a guy like Rose hasn't been hot and he's just sitting there in the wing. So lunch says shoplay, man, that one dude, Robert McIntyre blew up flipping the bird. I said it was Arnold not posting a podcast and Lunch not doing it all week. Arnold straight up bird. McIntyre is ice cold. But you can't go. It's like Rory Bird. What? So he. Rory, I don't get the career Grand Slam. He won the Masters last year. What does that mean? So I'm kind of confused with that one Burns guy hotter. And hell day is being sneaky good. Day is sneaky good. Whatever. Give me Rose or Lowry. Yeah, Reeds won it before Rose. Lowry or Reed, Pick one of those guys. That's your statistical citizen, even though there was no statistics involved. Wife. Has she given up on golf? Let's say this, let's say this. See, I was kind of like filibustering because I'm wondering, do I take a break? Do I take a break? It's, it's. I think lunch goes farther. So as my wife giving up on golf this weekend, I'm gonna make a point. I'm not gonna bring it up once it's up to her. And so that's when I'll really know in my heart of hearts if she's given up on it. So we'll see, we'll see, we'll see. She, I mean, she got the bag, $200. She hasn't got the shoes yet, but I believe she got the cocktail teas. She's probably got gloves in the route, Amazon, FedEx. So I would say she's about 50% giving up. I'm curious if she brings it up this weekend, being the Masters, that she wants to play. We'll see. And last thing I got, guys, and then I may just shoot from the hip, is options trading. Did I talk long enough for a break? Man, it's tough without lunch. I forgot he actually has a purpose, man. But options trading. So everybody always says, stock, you buy low, sell high. Options trading, you have access with a small budget. I had a thousand dollars Bazer gave me, and she goes, jump on fidelity, do your thing. She's like, I'm going to expect it to be gone. Thanks. Really appreciate the confidence. So I got the thousand dollars and we ran it up. We ran up to 5k. Let's not talk about going to war. And let's not talk about Tesla like killing some kid wrapping around a car and then they getting investigated in their cameras and the stock dropping 20 points. And let's not talk about John Deere. Absolutely. Or no, no, it was Sandisk, one of those disc manufacturers. Absolutely. In the bed, goes down a hundred points. Let's just say went down to a thousand. Portfolio went from 5k to 1k, so it's literally back.

[John Green]

Even.

[Sore Loser / Main Podcast Speaker]

So all that to say this stock, like the options gives you access to 20, $32,000, but you're not, it's not actual money. Bazer's like, is it margins? Are you going to be in the hole? No, See, that's why I still don't understand how it exists. I have the ability to play with $32,000 where you make 200, 300 or you can lose 2, 300. It's almost like a magnifying glass. It's a little bit on steroids. Rocket fuel if you will. So say a stock, say Tesla, is it 360 and it goes up $30. If you just buy Tesla one share, you're gonna make $30. It goes up 30, you make 30. Whereas if you buy options, you're buying access to 100 shares of it, which I think will cost you around a thousand. And so you would make then 300 as opposed to 30. I just don't know how it works. I don't know why everybody does an options trade. Like the access to it five figures, but it's not actual money. Bazer's like, hey, so like you would be in debt $32,000 like you promised me. It's your money. And I'm like, it's not margins trading, it's my actual money I'm trading with. I can make 5,000 in a month. Again, War SanDisk chip manufacturers Something happened with the plant. I don't even know. No, that's what it was. WAR affected that too. And then a kid wrapping around a tree and them having their cameras investigated. Tesla, outside of that, it was phenomenal. I learned the power of options trading. I just don't know why other people don't do it. You just get to a strike price. The damn strike price doesn't even matter. It's like if the stock goes up two points, you make $200. And guess what? It opens at 8:30am, blows up in about 10 minutes. And by 9 o', clock, coffee break. Kathy and the sales floor bent over the trash can dumping coffee in it or something. You already made $200. She hasn't even made her morning coffee. How's it going, Kathy? She's still. She's still at square one. You're up $200. I mean, you can't beat it. Nobody knows about it. I'm just glad I'm learning about it now. 40 years old, I'm gonna do options trading for the next 40 years. I haven't lost the damn dollar. I had access to make four grand. We didn't go to damn war. Who knew that it's gonna affect the stock market. I go into the. Let me. I'll tell you out my reaction. Well, I'll tell you after the break.

I go in and I'm like, okay, let's go, let's get on this. Tesla tanks $200. Well, what happened? I get in the news, some kid wrapped it around a car. Here we go. I guess Google News stories about your stock before you buy the stock. So it never recovered that day, and it basically has about two days to recover. If it doesn't, you're going to lose a couple hundred. In that case, a couple grand. And then Sandisk just plummeted. Well, what do you know? Let me log on to cnn. Oh, we went to war with Iran. Who knew it was gonna affect every sector. Industrials, technology, farm equipment. It affected everything. So I was like, oh, awesome. So that's how it goes from, you know, a learning lesson of about 200, 300 a day, slowly but surely just trucking along. And then, yeah, we go to war and you can lose the whole kitty if you will.
