EPISODE OVERVIEW

This episode dives into the unpredictable Tennessee winter (dubbed "Snowmageddon 2026"), wild neighborhood antics, the perils of online pet competitions, and the unique loneliness of work travel—all with the trademark banter, self-deprecation, and candid humor of the Sore Losers duo. A good chunk of the show also recaps fan interactions and their recent Sore Losers Convention, while friends, family, and football come in and out of focus.

KEY DISCUSSION POINTS

1. Surviving the Tennessee Snow/Ice Storm

• The show kicks off with the guys preparing for an incoming snow and ice storm. Paul is vexed by logistics—cold hands, studio lighting, and office antics ("Humor is all about timing. It's just killing our jokes." —Paul, 02:38).
• They discuss prepping pipes, raising thermostats, past snow experiences, and the expectations versus reality of southern storms.
• Weather trivia: Paul shares, “A half inch of rain on a tree weighs 7,000 pounds… Like the weight of your vehicle.” (35:43)
• Insights into “exploding trees,” black ice dangers, and classic local storm prep humor.

2. Sore Losers Convention Recap & Listener Interactions

• Reflects on decompressing post-convention, the joy and awkwardness of meeting listeners, and the growing Sore Losers Nation.
• Ray shares a convention video for a listener’s brother, leading to a humorous email exchange when it turns out the recipient wasn’t familiar with the show.
• Shoutouts to various attendees and the rookie class photo, adding "There were a few people that just scored high point every damn week." (50:53)
• Multiple references to “Cappy” and jokes about losing listeners to the storm—“Moment of silence for Cappy. Lost him along the coast with the winter Durant Show.” (34:36)
• Questions about longtime listeners and “OGs” fuel some nostalgia and audience engagement.

3. Is the Online Cat Magazine Vote a Scam?

• Paul reveals his wife Bazer entered their cat “Piper” into an online voting contest for Modern Cat magazine, sparking a skeptical, hilarious debate about the legitimacy of online voting competitions.
• Paul confesses: “I may have already paid $75 for votes.” (13:49)
• Ray is adamant: “They're not real votes. They're not really going to put you on the magazine. That is not real.” (12:45)
• They break down the tricks and psychology of online voting scams and paying for “levels”—“It's a typical Nigerian prince scam. They're going to put us into certain levels so you think you're working towards something, when you're working towards nothing.” (19:10)
• Despite the clear skepticism, Paul is unfazed: “I'm fine to lose $75 to a scam. It's all for Piper, though.” (17:03)

4. Neighborhood Antics & Social Commentary

• The hosts trade stories about odd neighborhood rules (parking on the street vs. driveways), local runners, and playful gossip about neighbors.
• Paul describes a neighbor who runs with a stroller: “He's got the stroller that runs with the person... almost like a bike.” (28:29)
• An entertaining bit on running lengths, weight loss, and residents showing off—"There's a guy who lifts his shirt up when he runs by me. I don't know if he knows me from the show or what..." (30:10)
• Ray, describing walkers: "We have a set of old women… they go four across. They block the damn road." (27:49)
• Stories about people out walking in just T-shirts—including skepticism about whether they're really "wearing nothing but a t-shirt"—lead to classic Sore Losers exaggerations and jokes.

5. Work Travel, Hotel Loneliness, and Social Oddities

• Paul shares that he’s being required to stay at a hotel during the storm for work safety.
• An awkward invite: “The guy down the hallway… he goes, ‘Hey man, I'll just be there with a bottle of bourbon in my PlayStation if you want to come over.’” (58:39)
• Hilarity ensues as Ray imagines the hijinks: "I've got to do a belly button shot out of you. That sounds like a perfect weekend." (59:09)
• Paul observes: “There is no lonelier feeling than being in a hotel room… Five star, four star—it could be Astoria Waldorf Astoria, New York City. By yourself? Guys, there is not a lonelier feeling on the planet.” (59:33)
• Despite the awkwardness, Paul commits to checking out the "bottle of bourbon and PlayStation" scene for the podcast: “I have got to take a picture of this hotel room for the nation, please.” (68:51)

6. Sledding Plans & DIY Winter Fun

• Ray and Paul brainstorm how to turn their backyards into ice rinks for their kids using water, bricks, and trash bags—“That’s literally how NHL was born. Somebody in their backyard with cold temps and a water hose.” (43:38)
• Ray's neighbor suggests driving to find snow if their town doesn’t get any. Paul slams the idea as reckless, “You don’t want to get close to this crap… None of it’s worth it.” (41:25)
• All plans are laced with their signature goofiness, practical dad wisdom, and warnings about ice and safety.

7. Football, Fantasy, and Sports Fandom

• Recaps of thrilling football moments—including Caleb Williams’ Hail Mary and the hosts’ home reactions.
• House debates on favorite playoff teams, Super Bowl predictions, and rooting for their friend Kevin’s Patriots.
• Long riff on Fantasy League High Points, how often people win, and how that shapes both league play and their personal satisfaction.
• Occasional playful impersonations of Tony Romo and Jim Nantz covering cold games—“Her headlights are on… I mean, oh, that’s her chest. Sorry.” (63:03)

8. Shoutouts & Fan Community

• Reading and reacting to live comments: “Rest in peace, Cappy!... Enoch is everywhere.” (73:04)
• Responding to audience emails, including a comical complaint about too many convention photos featuring the same four people.
• Nostalgia for early listeners (“OGs”), past conventions, and listener stories—ending with jokes about which fans have disappeared or “never made it back.”

[Ray]

Do this one.

[Paul]

We're live on both.

[Ray]

We're going.

[Paul]

Yes.

[Ray]

Okay, good.

[Paul]

Guys, if you were at the convention, you know I don't look like this for whatever reason this camera, I look like a homeless drug addict.

[Ray]

Well, I mean the snow is coming man. You got to get home. We got a batten down that batching down the hat and shit or whatever they call batting down the house. Whatever you gotta do, you gotta cover the pipes and I mean we gotta get going, man. It's gonna, it's gonna get cold outside.

[Paul]

Well, and also let me say this because convention Weather talking. Oh, can we swear on this one? Because we're obviously gonna replay the recap of the convention.

[Ray]

Is that what you want to do?

[Paul]

Yeah. So then why can't we swear on this one?

[Ray]

Then you can swear.

[Paul]

Not like hardcore, but if you need to say it. It's so much funnier when you use the actual word. And then I am delayed because of the button bars all the way on my left when it should be all the way on my right. And so it's just not funny. Humor is all about timing. It's just killing our jokes.

[Ray]

You know what's got going on is I think you're angry right now. You're angry about the cold and you're upset about something. Something's getting down into you there.

[Paul]

There's one thing. We just finished up with the big show and somebody from the building, not they will remain nameless, comes up to me and goes, what are you guys doing just standing out here looking out the window. And I go, what if, what if I was to come up to you in the break room when you take your one break of the morning? And I said, hey man, why are you sitting down? Why don't you go make some radio calls? What if I did that right when you sit down in the break room, how would that make you feel? And he shut up real quick.

[Ray]

It's your chance to decompress. And he invaded. Didn't mean to give away the gender. He invaded your decompression. Your one moment of silence. They sounded the alarm the like they were about to do some blowing right next door. And so I got the camera and I'm ready to see some explosion. They never blew because it blew yesterday. I heard the horn yesterday and I just found out that that's what that horn is. I thought it was just a car honking and then I heard the boom and I was like, whoa. And afternoon guy goes, you didn't know that that's the horn is for when they're going to blow. And so I heard the horn today and I was like, I get to see blowing in person and it's going to boom. I was going to do slow mo video of the blow. No blow.

[Paul]

They were blowing the side skyscraper. The past couple months at 3am I saw him blow dozens of times. Oh, every time equally as awesome. You see smoke, it's like probably 12 sticks of dynamite. You wonder how can they control it? Cuz it's underground. So you're sure there's not going to be one rock shoot up and break a Window. It never did. Sometimes you'd see some go off, probably not exactly how they were supposed to, but anytime they blow, it's must see tv. And my hands are so cold, dude, I'm about to put them in my pants, my hands are that cold.

[Ray]

Well, I raised the thing up to 68 degrees. It was at 65, so you should be getting some warmth coming in. Because I came down here when they like this whole section, when it was the Lifeway Building or whatever it was that was here, they blew it. And the wife and I came down and watched it blow. It was like right after New Year's. And they said 10, nine. Well, actually, I started doing 1098. And people would do it.

[Paul]

And then.

[Ray]

I know. I don't know really. And then finally, we really did the countdown. My wife didn't think it was funny that I was pranking people, saying, 10, nine. Oh, no, no, they're not started yet. Sorry, guys. Start it in a minute. And it blew up the way the. It went.

[Paul]

Boom.

[Ray]

And all the smoke comes billowing down the blocks and you take off running for your vehicles. Run. And we got back to the car before the smoke enveloped us.

[Paul]

The same story as you, except for I didn't see it.

[Ray]

Yeah, I know.

[Paul]

Me and Baser were at the gym. I was in the car. Kind of just started dating. Might have been our first fight as a couple. And I said, hey, I bet I can get us a better view. That was the gambler in me, always trying to go bigger, better. Should have just chilled at the gym. We had a bird's eye view of it. We get in the car, I take some side streets, took one wrong turn and ended up directly behind a dumpster in a wall, and we missed the entire explosion. Never get that one back.

[Ray]

So speaking of gambler, when you go into a parking lot, like you're going with Bazer, you're going to go and shopping at the mall, you're going to the grocery store. Wherever you're going, you're going to a restaurant. Are you a gambler? Do you drive up the road trying to find that close spot, or are you take what you can get? First spot I find, you know what I am. I don't know.

[Paul]

Do you think I would risk a spot and pass it up to go, possibly potentially get a handicap spot, maybe get towed, maybe have an awkward encounter with a parking attendant? If I see one 50ft, 100ft from the store, it's parked. I don't need to get right up next to there where the pregnant Mothers go.

[Ray]

So you take the first spot you can find.

[Paul]

Not the first that I can find, but I like being out a little bit. Less foot traffic, less carts. You get to kind of control your own destiny. You're not going to get trapped in between walkers and drivers and handicap and people just meandering all over the damn place. They don't even know how to walk in a crosswalk. No, I don't mess with that. Baser wants me to take a couple of turns. I lay back. My name is Ben, and I ain't in it. My name is Paul. Those close spots are up to y'. All.

[Ray]

See, I'm more like you, but I'm even worse than you. That first spot I find, I'm parking.

[Paul]

That's what I just said.

[Ray]

You said, I don't even like if it's the last car. I don't go past the last car. If I just park and I walk. And it drives my wife nuts. She's like, there could have been a spot up there. I said, it wastes more time. Smart for me to drive up there to find out.

[Paul]

Amen. Find out.

[Ray]

You know, Fit to find out. And I don't need to find out. These legs of mine, Amen. They can walk the extra 50 to 100ft.

[Paul]

Are you to the store? Are you good, though? Does that really still hold up since the accident in the situation?

[Ray]

I'll be honest. The left testicle really does. It's very. It's uncomfortable today. The left testicles, uncomfortable today.

[Paul]

Like, your old sayings aren't exactly working right now that you're not. Can't run, can't walk. Back in our day, kids, we'd run to school. Well, I can't physically run there now.

[Ray]

But, yeah, it's like getting Baby box three home from school. He's like, dad, let's race. And I'm like, yeah, okay. And I try to run. It's like, all right. I can't really do that.

[Paul]

The neighbor races me.

[Ray]

He's like, dad, you're.

[Paul]

Is he a good dad?

[Ray]

Why are you walking? I'm like, I'm not walking. I'm just going as fast as I can. Anyway, I went against my own rule last night because I had Baby box one had his basketball practice and pulling the parking lot. And I'm like, oh, we got it. We got. Oh, let's get. Let's get closer. Let's get closer. And I almost didn't find a spot. And I would. Almost had to look like an idiot and reverse back because I would have been waiting. We were going to be late for basketball practice, so I was trying to get closer, and luckily there was a car pulling out right when we got up near the doors. And we were able to put it in there. And I told myself, never again. That's why I don't do it. It's too stressful to try to drive up and then you don't find one. Then you got to loop around. It's just so annoying. Take the first spot. Take it walk. Get some exercise. It's okay. Doesn't matter if it's cold.

[Paul]

Speaking of cold, the lighting is very cold. We're going to have to make it warmer. We will in time. Now that Netflix has said we want more podcasts on our station. We want more podcasts with video. Oh, we're streaming video? You finna find out? But I will say, as I look at the setup, we have your lighting super cold. I mean, you look like you're doing an interview. It's an interrogation out of jail.

[Ray]

Well, you need to scoot the light this way. The light was usually about halfway on that tv.

[Paul]

My lighting looks like. It kind of looks like stadium lighting, but it looks like I just did acid. And you guys are interviewing me at a jail cell as well and questioning me whether I did the acid before or after I touched a homeless person.

[Ray]

That's why you need to move it to about halfway on the tv. That's where it was. And you turn it sideways.

[Paul]

Turn it.

[Ray]

Face it towards me. It's supposed to face towards me. There you go. That's it. That's where we used to have it. Right like that. And now I look warm and charming. We look so much better.

[Paul]

Still a tad cold, but I think it's fine.

[Ray]

Yeah, Because I made a mark on the wall over there.

[Paul]

Well, speaking of the wall, I used to have a cat calendar. And. And then midday show. Didn't think it was funny enough when they stole our studio or when they left Starbucks all over the studio.

[Ray]

Oh, they did for, like, three days. It smelt so bad in here, they.

[Paul]

Had to double down and rip my cat calendar off the wall and throw it away. Guys, it was a joke. I was being funny. It was advertising some lady's local business in her nail salon that my wife.

[Ray]

Goes to keep it local.

[Paul]

Man, I don't think we need to be thrown away. It was a funny joke. It was a cat for every month we were on a tabby cat for December. Like, what was January?

[Ray]

We don't know because it's gone. But don't worry, I threw away the air freshener. Ray.

[Paul]

I think it was one of them orange cats.

[Ray]

A bangle.

[Paul]

It was Fluffy.

[Ray]

Oh, Fluff. What's your cat's name now?

[Paul]

Piper, but nicknamed Fluffy. And she's actually.

[Ray]

And what was the old one?

[Paul]

Pablo. Full name was. It was Scully, but I called him Pablo.

[Ray]

Okay, so Bo Jingles is the cat that lives across the street from me. That I. I was getting them confused. I thought Bojangles was your cat and now I remember.

[Paul]

Well, don't get it twisted. Piper is actually trying to get on this magazine called Modern Cat and it's been a voting process. I've sometimes put it on Sore Losers. Maybe without you seeing it.

[Ray]

No, I've seen it.

[Paul]

Okay, well, she was top 100 for to get on this magazine. Modern Cat. It's a big cat magazine in the cat community.

[Ray]

Go ahead.

[Paul]

Top 50. Top 25. Top 20. We're the top 15, baby. Oh, yeah. And there's a purse.

[Ray]

I don't think those things are real.

[Paul]

Have you seen the purse? No, they. Apparently she can. Piper can get on Modern Cat magazine and win $10,000.

[Ray]

I don't believe it. I don't ever believe when someone posts. These are always. I feel like just an absolute scam. And it's not real.

[Paul]

They're going to pay you in Kibbles and bits.

[Ray]

No, it's not that they're going to pay you in Kibbles and Bits. It's that it's not a real vote. They're not really wanting anybody's cat.

[Paul]

She's in second place.

[Ray]

It doesn't matter. Your cat.

[Paul]

Top 15 cats in the world right now.

[Ray]

Your cat is not one of the top 15 cats in the world. They're not real. It's like, oh, my son is run. You know, he's on the. He has a chance to be on the COVID of whatever stupid thing. Just vote for my mom's cake. They're not real votes. They're not really going to put you on the magazine. That is not real.

[Paul]

So we've been doing a fake voting thing for the past couple weeks.

[Ray]

Yes, 100% you have.

[Paul]

I got to know where baser found it, first of all, because I. I never really stumbled upon it and. But she might go to cat websites that she frequents. I have no idea. But I would be with you. But it is an actual cat magazine.

[Ray]

I'm not saying it's not a cat magazine. Interesting.

[Paul]

I'm hearing you out. I have an open mind to this.

[Ray]

I just always believe when someone's like, oh, my grandma has a chance to win this vote for, you know, whatever, can you please vote? You know, 100 votes a day can. They're not real votes. It's not a real competition. It's all a scam.

[Paul]

To strengthen your point that it is a scam. I may have already paid $75 for votes.

[Ray]

Oh, my gosh. This is exactly what I'm talking about.

[Paul]

It said she had to get past a certain round, and I, on an early Saturday morning, slightly hungover, I paid $25. I needed to get her even closer to first place, so I paid another $25. And then I admitted to Bays are on a random Tuesday. It was maybe a top 25 draw, and I had to pay another $25 to get her into a certain level, but she is in second place, and you can vote for free. It's free, though, for people to vote.

[Ray]

Yeah, but if you pay money, you get more votes. So basically, you're just paying for nothing.

[Paul]

And get this.

[Ray]

Bazer says they're so dumb.

[Paul]

She woke up one morning, oh, my gosh. And Piper was in second.

[Ray]

Oh. So she felt obligated to pay more.

[Paul]

She hasn't paid. I've known the ones who paid 75, and she's so mad at me for doing it. And that was a gambler in me. I started gambling then with that.

[Ray]

They're so stupid. And so then, no way these votes are legit. There's no way.

[Paul]

Bazer said she did one vote in the morning when Piper was in second, and after she did that one vote, she was in first out of all the cats in the world by one vote.

[Ray]

It's that close. You know what they're doing? They're making you think it's that close because you know what they want you to do?

[Paul]

String us along.

[Ray]

Pay more money, pay for more votes, and your cat's going to go up, and then the next person is going to see it. They're going to pay for their cat, and next thing you know, voila. None of you want a dang thing.

[Paul]

I got to tell baser, because I always had this in the back of my mind, but. But now you're actually putting some validity to it.

[Ray]

Like, do you know what I'm talking about? How people put that up all the time out?

[Paul]

I don't know. I'm not on Facebook, so I've never seen one of the kind.

[Ray]

Oh, it's like, oh, my mom could be the top gardener in our. In our state. If you'll vote For. And it's like, that's not real. It's not real, guys. Those can't be real.

[Paul]

There were like a hundred cats. I want to message. So how does it cancel? So some of the people are losing. Of course they're losing because they have to narrow it down.

[Ray]

Yes.

[Paul]

I swear, one of the cats looks like an AI bot. The one that's beating us. Smokey freaking bot from Russia.

[Ray]

Dude, Smokey probably belongs to the cat magazine. Smokey is their in house cat.

[Paul]

But anyways, Piper just made it to the next round.

[Ray]

Congratulations, Piper. Piper did what the bears couldn't do, advanced, and is now. So after 15, does it go down to like 10? Does it go down to 5?

[Paul]

How does it work? I believe so.

[Ray]

So it didn't go 15 to 1.

[Paul]

It's a, it's a typical Nigerian prince scam. They're going to put us into certain levels. So you think you're working towards something when you're working towards nothing.

[Ray]

And this is going to go on for the next six months of voting.

[Paul]

But it will still. You guys can still vote for free. No. None of our listeners have paid. But I have paid. I've lost $75. I'm fine to lose 75 to a scam.

[Ray]

It's all for Piper, though.

[Paul]

But here for the. At the risk of winning $10,000, would you throw up 75 bucks? I haven't done more.

[Ray]

No, I would, I, I, I understand what you're saying, okay? But I just always see those voting things and I don't believe them right away.

[Paul]

Bro, here's the thing that's haunted me.

[Ray]

Oh, God.

[Paul]

Ever since I stopped gambling, I'm still doing gambling stuff and losing.

[Ray]

Tell me more.

[Paul]

What did I do with baser? There was some other thing. It was.

[Ray]

Oh, man.

[Paul]

Oh, it was like Secret Santa or Black angel or what was it?

[Ray]

I don't know.

[Paul]

At Christmas parties, you do Hidden Angel.

[Ray]

Oh, Dirty Santa.

[Paul]

Dirty Santa.

[Ray]

Dirty Santa. Yeah, Dirty Santa. I don't know.

[Paul]

And we would do it and I.

[Ray]

Would get soft Santa. No.

[Paul]

Yes.

[Ray]

Not soft Santa.

[Paul]

Hey, I would get the worst gift. I was like, I'm not even gambling and I'm still losing.

[Ray]

I mean, I want. Listen, I want Piper to win. I really do.

[Paul]

I've been putting up videos every day of her when she gets up from a nap, when she's sleeping. I mean, we got to move off this. The truckers hate this kind of talk. They like talking about Abby.

[Ray]

I want to say, I want to encourage sore losers nation to go vote for Piper.

[Paul]

They have. They've helped. We're on to the next round.

[Ray]

We're fine, but I can't imagine that it's real. But to. To get in first place, like, do you want to be in first place right now, or do you want to wait a week to be in first place? Do you want to send a message to the other cats? Or is it like, hey, slow play it? And we don't want to get in first place till the last week?

[Paul]

Definitely not. But also, I think that also could play into why it is maybe possibly considerably a scam. Because you didn't know at first that you didn't want to be first. It was kind of, oh, top. It seemed like you wanted to be first. That's why I paid the money. But now, if you read the fine print, there's different groups, there's different echelons to this tiering.

[Ray]

Oh, God.

[Paul]

So in her group, at one point, she was top 20, but I do believe there's no more groups. And there's one final group that we're in right now, and we are top 15.

[Ray]

So when you're. Hey. When you're iced over this weekend, when you're snowed in, vote for Piper. Vote for Piper to win the scam.

[Paul]

I will tell you, when we were doing it, at first, I didn't see the little, small and very, very small parentheses. It says group. So you had thought it was working towards. I thought I won the 10,000 like, two weeks ago, but it was just for our group. That's all I got to say on it. Dude. No more questions, guys. Hang up and listen.

[Ray]

Yeah, we'll take a break. We'll be right back. All right, big news.

[Julian Edelman]

Liquid IV's got something huge coming this February 8th. Have you heard about it?

[Liquid IV Promoter]

Yeah, you just told me a second ago.

[Ray]

Fair enough.

[Julian Edelman]

I'm guessing it has something to do with fighting dehydration.

[Liquid IV Promoter]

Speaking of, do you know seven potential signs of mild to moderate dehydration?

[Julian Edelman]

There's thirst, obviously. And six more, right?

[Liquid IV Promoter]

Fatigue, brain fog, nausea, headaches, irritability.

[Julian Edelman]

And there's one more that I can't remember. Does that mean I'm dehydrated?

[Liquid IV Promoter]

Maybe. But I think I'm dehydrated because you're.

[Ray]

Irritating me right now.

[Julian Edelman]

Then drink some liquid iv. I like the sugar free raspberry lemonade, but mango pineapple is great too. Liquid IV sugar free is the only sugar free hydration product on the market clinically demonstrated to hydrate faster than water alone. And there aren't any artificial sweeteners or colors?

[Liquid IV Promoter]

You gotta stay hydrated.

[Julian Edelman]

Well, that's my crash course on dehydration, but no doubt Liquid IV will have something more to say on February 8.

[Liquid IV Promoter]

Anything else happening that day?

[Julian Edelman]

I don't know. I have to check the calendar.

[Liquid IV Promoter]

[Paul]

Of the things you never talked about is your feelings on that Iceman pass at the end of the game.

[Ray]

The Iceman pass. What Iceman Pass Fingernail polish What about him?

[Paul]

How you watched it, what your emotions were. That was the craziest Hail Mary ever. What Caleb Williams when it was like the final play of the game, it was fourth down and he runs backwards all the way to the 50 yard line. Launches it into the end zone at Soldier Field.

[Ray]

Oh at the end of Regulation. Because that one. Because that wasn't the end of the game.

[Paul]

Correct. So that kind of changes it in your memory. I understand that.

[Ray]

I was very confused.

[Paul]

How crazy did you go?

[Ray]

I went really crazy. Even here. Here's the thing. Even my wife, who doesn't give a crap about sports, saw it, and she was like, what? What? What? She did the whole. She freaked out. She just. As I did. She actually had an emotional reaction, audible reaction to that play. It did suck.

[Paul]

I like it when you scream like that.

[Ray]

I did. And the kids jumped up and down on the couch. They enjoyed it. It was a really cool moment. When he first started running backwards, though. Here we are a week later talking about it. When he first started running backwards, I was like, oh, my God. Here's the Caleb Williams that. I'm used to running backwards when there's pressure instead of stepping up in the freaking pocket. And then he wings it, and I'm like, oh, my gosh. It was amazing. It was amazing. It was really fantastic.

[Paul]

Regardless of these microphones. I just wanted to know what you were doing for it. I never asked you.

[Ray]

Yeah, I was at my house and I was jumping up and down. I stood up at that point because I was like, oh, my gosh. Fourth down. Oh, my gosh. And then he starts running backwards, and I'm like. And I was on the right. If you're facing your tv, the TV right there behind you. I was on the right corner of the TV because the kids were on the couch, so they needed the left side. I couldn't stand right in the middle. And the wife was over my left shoulder, so she was kind of diagonal from the TV when she saw it. And it was bananas.

[Paul]

Next to the kitchen refresh.

[Ray]

Right, the kitchen refresh. If you did see the pictures on my Instagram, they did an affiliate. Fabulous job. I mean, they came in in three days and changed the kitchen outlook.

[Paul]

Did you go green or blue?

[Ray]

It is dark. A greenish blue.

[Paul]

We went green, but it's.

[Ray]

I would say it's green. My wife thinks it's greenish blue. I see green.

[Paul]

What are you, bones?

[Ray]

No, I'm not bones. I think it's green, but my wife and I don't see the same color because my old. The Altima is gray as gray can be.

[Paul]

The. The ultima is rust. Coach, please tell me that thing's still not on the street.

[Ray]

No, it's still sitting for the house. It's in front of the house.

[Paul]

You know how long that would last in my neighborhood? I'm just not Even kidding, bro. People park running cars in the street. It's a no street. It's a no car on the street.

[Ray]

Really? Neighborhood mine is all parking on the street.

[Paul]

We'll have a family member over and it will be over for about four hours. And already on the Facebook. Hey, guys, just a reminder, no cars in the street. We see a couple over there on the 1400 block. If you could just have those move by morning. Oh, bro. Your car would be booted, towed, and in another state by now.

[Ray]

Yeah, that's bad.

[Paul]

Jeez. We always. We're like, what? They're okay, so there's. How do I tell this story? Okay, so there's the trash man, the guy that does our lawn. The Amazon delivery guy, cleaner. Where are we gonna put all the cars? Because our neighborhood will get mad if there's anything in the street.

[Ray]

Wow. Ours is all street. So everybody loves the street. You know what we don't have? We don't have any in the yard.

[Paul]

Well, because of that, if there's a one guy, he's got. Must have college kids. If they come home for the weekend, they gotta. They park in his yard. See, he's like, awesome. I love this. My grass is done because of this neighborhood rule. I've been working on my grass all year. Like, his kids from college will just park in his front lawn.

[Ray]

So we're the complete opposite ever. It's encouraged to park in the street in my neighborhood because there are no driveways. Yours is no street.

[Paul]

All driveway and driveway and grass. People do the front lawn and the. It lends itself to. You got to run. If you don't run or walk in a neighborhood that has no vehicles, how lazy are you? Like, at what point can you check yourself into a clinic and say, I need a GLP one.

[Ray]

I do have these. I love that. Because it is hard dodging cars. If you go running like that are parked on the side of the road and then you got cars driving and it's very crowded on the road. We have a set of old women. There's three or four of them. They walk in the road and they go four across.

[Paul]

They got a set on them.

[Ray]

They block the damn road. And I'm like, hey, grannies. Like, get the out of the way. Get the out of the road. Walk on the sidewalk. But the reason is they. The reason they don't want to walk on the sidewalk because they want to go four wide. If they were on the sidewalk, they'd have to go two by two.

[Paul]

But are they going to have a Car up behind them, for lack of a better. Better phrase. Or can they walk it really, without people driving in and out?

[Ray]

No, no. They. They block the road. Like you had to slow down and wait, make sure no cars coming on the road and go around them on the other side of the road. So annoying.

[Paul]

We got some guy in the neighborhood. Maybe this is just neighborhood stories. Neighborhood stories.

[Ray]

Oh, you know, we forgot to do grocery store stories. There's no bread or milk.

[Paul]

Back to that in a minute. So there's this guy. Must be training for a marathon. He's got a newborn, and he's doing Lance Armstrong. He's got the stroller that runs with the person.

[Ray]

Yeah.

[Paul]

And he's got the whole thing on, and he's running with a newborn. I'm like, buddy, I get we're trying to be an active neighborhood, but maybe the kid should be born more than a day before you take him out on these Ironman runs.

[Ray]

I think it's good for the kid to get out and get some fresh air.

[Paul]

Okay.

[Ray]

And you want to talk about very difficult, and I never realized how difficult it was until I tried it. But to run while you're pushing the stroller, unbelievably hard.

[Paul]

But this is one that's built for that.

[Ray]

No, no, I don't give a damn if it's built for it.

[Paul]

Bassinet Extreme.

[Ray]

You still have to push it.

[Paul]

Swamp tires.

[Ray]

And you know what you need your arms for is pumping when you're running. So if you're pushing the stroller, guess what? Your arm's not doing pumping.

[Paul]

I get that. But this guy has the thing where he actually almost like a bike. He has his arms rested on the stroller so he's able to run bike style. And it almost looks easier, but I. I will say, I. I don't. Maybe this guy knows me from the show. So there's a couple. It's a runner community, but we all do our own runs.

[Ray]

Me got it.

[Paul]

I'm 0.5 mile. Another guy does like 10 miles. I'm like, great life, man. Killing it.

[Ray]

Did you say 0.5 miles?

[Paul]

Yeah, just one. One lap around.

[Ray]

I. I don't know if that counts as running.

[Paul]

Yeah, it does if you sprint it. And so there's another dude who's like, under. I hope he may listen to the potty. He's undergoing like, this crazy weight loss.

[Ray]

Jelly Roll.

[Paul]

Every time I see him in my neighborhood.

[Ray]

Jelly Roll lives in your neighborhood?

[Paul]

Just think of Jelly Roll with that weight loss. The guy will lift his shirt up when he runs by me. Oh, I don't know if he knows me from the show.

[Ray]

Does he have a gun in his waistband? Like, is he, like, saying, yo, look what I got?

[Paul]

No, it's like he's lost a ton of weight. He's proud of his body. Usually all the cats. No, it's not him.

[Ray]

No.

[Paul]

But usually I'll have, like a cutoff on. Now it's winter, it's changed a little bit. But he'll always just, hey, like that.

[Ray]

I'm just like, what kind of neighborhood you live in?

[Paul]

I mean, that's why I kind of limit my runs row. I either got Ironman triathlon guy, or I got the guy lifting his shirt up.

[Ray]

Wow, that's an interesting neighborhood, man. I've never had that in my hood. They don't really. Right.

[Paul]

You got any rockets?

[Ray]

They don't really flash their. I don't have guys running by and flashing their tummies to me.

[Paul]

I did tell Laura. Did you got a minute?

[Ray]

Yeah, I've got a lot of minutes, man. I'm here all day. This is our podcast. You'd go ahead baser.

[Paul]

During the summer.

[Ray]

Yeah.

[Paul]

This one girl would walk the family dog every day at the same time.

[Ray]

And so you always happen to be outside at that time?

[Paul]

No, she copied my time. That was the same time that I would go run. Ah, well, one day during the summer, it was a T shirt and she was just wearing a T shirt.

[Ray]

No pants, nothing. No underwear. I don't know.

[Paul]

I wasn't looking with X ray vision.

[Ray]

Well, you said she was wearing nothing but a T shirt.

[Paul]

It was straight up T shirt. Just walk in the neighborhood with the dog. I was like, this is the most interesting neighborhood.

[Ray]

So you're telling me this girl had on a T shirt, a dog on a leash, no shoes, no socks, no pants, no shorts, no underwear.

[Paul]

She had slippers on, slides that the kids are wearing.

[Ray]

So slides and no underwear.

[Paul]

I'm thinking senior year and gotta walk the dog, but it always is the same time. So she's responsible with that. And she just headed out. And I mean, it was just like this. It's the shirt I'm wearing.

[Ray]

She was walking in and nothing on her legs. Nothing. Hell yeah. Hell, yeah. I like your neighborhood again.

[Paul]

Well. And then two seconds later, I got the guy lifts his shirt.

[Ray]

Oh, you know what it is?

[Paul]

Thanks for the image.

[Ray]

They're.

[Liquid IV Promoter]

They're.

[Ray]

They're a. They're a combo. They're testing to see which one you look at. They want to know, hey, which way does he go? She's like, I'll go by first, and I'll just have the shirt on. If he winks, I know he's into me. If you go by and lift up your shirt and he acknowledges you, we know he's into you.

[Paul]

But it was interesting, to say the least. I was like, that's. That's crazy that that's in style.

[Ray]

Well, I mean, it's not that bad. I kind of like that style. You know what's going to be in style tomorrow? Gloves, hats, boots. Snowmageddon 2026. Oh, my goodness. You guys better be ready. It's about to get a frisky cold. Listen, the snow drifts. I cannot wait. We better get snow. We have to get snow. Because all week. Do you know what I've been doing all week, Ray? I've been telling the boys, guys, let's get ready. We're going to be sledding this Saturday. It is going to be sled, sled and more sled. And I have already got the sleds out. We've got snow clothes laid out in piles. So that way we are absolutely ready to go.

[Paul]

Does this sound like snow?

[Ray]

I don't hear anything. There it is. That sounds like rain.

[Paul]

Oh, some people get that.

[Ray]

Yeah, you're gonna get rain, and then it's gonna turn into ice. And you gotta be careful. It's gonna be very slippery. It may not look slippery, but, guys, that black ice, it'll get you. It'll take you down, and it'll take out your tailbone. It'll take out your elbow, your forearm, your shoulder. We don't need that. We need the nation strong and healthy going into 2026.

[Paul]

It's safe to say we're going to lose a member of the nation during this storm.

[Ray]

What?

[Paul]

Because we are over many states, and there is tons of states affected. I think odds on there's a chance we lose a member of the nation.

[Ray]

Oh, just for a few hours, because their power will be out. But then they'll root. They'll. They'll get the power back on, and we'll regain them.

[Paul]

Moment of silence for losing one of our own. It was Cappy.

[Ray]

Oh, man.

[Paul]

His wheelchair went out. Black ice. He took off for a football field. He was going 70 miles an hour.

[Ray]

Sliding down the hill, and he couldn't get the brakes.

[Paul]

They said he landed it, but broke every bone. Moment of silence for Cappy. Lost him along the coast with the winter Durant Show. Man, I did want to say this. The one thing that blew My mind with this storm.

[Ray]

Go ahead.

[Paul]

All the crap. People have said 30 inches. 20 inches. I'm fine with two.

[Ray]

No, we need more two. We need more than two. If we're going to be sledding. We need four to six. I think for good sled.

[Paul]

Justin goes, you guys are making a big deal about 2 inches. We got over 10 inches. And I go, Justin, it's 2 inches.

[Ray]

Justin, check your pants. There's no way it's 10 inches.

[Paul]

No chance it's 2 inches. But it's a thick snow. The this is the fact that'll blow you away. Consider yourself blown.

[Ray]

I can't wait to get blown. I tried to get blown earlier. I tried to watch them get blown. No blowing was going on.

[Paul]

A half inch of rain on a tree weighs 7,000 pounds on a big tree.

[Ray]

What?

[Paul]

Yeah.

[Ray]

What?

[Paul]

Yep. Saw that on the Internet. It was a news station that did it. Half an inch because how just gets all the branches gets on the trunk is 7,000 pounds. It's a weight of your vehicle.

[Ray]

That's why they were saying you're going to have some trees snapping. Whack, whack, whack.

[Paul]

So that's why they end up popping.

[Ray]

Popping is what they said.

[Paul]

Exploding.

[Ray]

Exploding is what they said. Exploding trees. Oh my gosh.

[Paul]

I can't talk about it. They talked about it on McAfee. That's why I said popping.

[Ray]

Oh my gosh. No. I read an article about exploding trees in the north.

[Paul]

And you know why they explode.

[Ray]

I didn't even understand what that meant. I thought that was a joke.

[Paul]

It's the SAP. The water. It expands just like it expands and creates potholes.

[Ray]

That's how you get potholes.

[Paul]

When it expands on a tree, it blows up the tree.

[Ray]

Dang. So I gotta look for down tree branches this weekend.

[Paul]

Well, those are the ones for the power. But I mean, you don't really need to worry about a down branch.

[Ray]

Ray.

[Paul]

What if there's a random one laying in my backyard? Those are fine. It's the ones that get caught on the power lines.

[Ray]

That's why the power goes out.

[Paul]

Power really only goes out because that. Like I said, the. The ice ends up weighing a lot more and breaking the lines. If nothing breaks the lines, you're good. It's just either a tree or the weight of the ice breaking the lines.

[Ray]

And we.

[Paul]

Some of our electricians can call in.

[Ray]

We'll get. We'll take those calls right after this break call 1-877-SOAR losers. We'll be right back.

[Ray]

Dude. I, I, I. Now it all makes sense to me. I didn't realize that's what the ice does.

[Paul]

See? And that kind of brought it to me too. It's not just the. The snow. I mean, you can get 10 inches and be proud of that. It's the half inch that you got to watch out for.

[Ray]

Well, one of my neighbors, I mean, he's real gung ho. He's been out of town all week for work, and he texted the wife, and he's like, hey, we got to be ready for the ice. And she's like, an ice. I thought it was gonna snow. He said, no, it's gonna be ice. And she goes, but we've been telling the kids, snow, snow. He goes, that's okay. If it doesn't snow, we'll just hop in the truck and we'll drive east until we find snow.

[Paul]

You or your neighbor?

[Ray]

My neighbor. And he's like. And he texted me, do you guys want to go? I'm like, wait, wait. So if it doesn't snow here, we're going to jump in the vehicle and drive it to the treacherous weather and road conditions to find snow because we told our kids it was going to snow all week. I said, hey, man, I don't know if you know this, but this. My new name is Bennett, and I'm not going to be in it.

[Paul]

My name's Paul, and that's up to y'.

[Ray]

All. Why would you get in the vehicle and drive to go find the snow? Because then what if you get stuck there? Like, what if you get stuck in wherever you're at and they don't have a hotel?

[Paul]

And that's getting cute. And from the north, I'd know all this stuff about winter and.

[Ray]

Yeah, please tell me more.

[Paul]

It's sledding.

[Ray]

So fun.

[Paul]

So fun. But it's the stuff like that, the driving to go get closer to the snow. You don't want to get close to this. You don't want to get stuff. Oh, I heard there's a crazy 100 car pile up. Well, you're going to be a part of it. Oh, if we just drive over there, we'll get a beautiful picture. Nope, the best place you can be is at home. You don't want to get close to this crap. So your guy driving and getting cute with the weather. And don't get try to get closer to tornadoes. Don't Try to. Oh, when can I stay on this hurricane get out. None of it's worth it. What? I want to watch this explosion. I get back from the window, man. You never know if one of those explosions gonna kick up a rock.

[Ray]

He's not really a winter guy either. He's from Alabama, so I don't know that he thinks he's an expert.

[Paul]

That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard of.

[Ray]

What?

[Paul]

The driving to go get closer to snow, freezing, rain, ice. That if it gets you, it gets you. It doesn't. It doesn't. It's not God's plan.

[Ray]

Yeah, and you don't want to mess with God's plan.

[Paul]

And the forecasters most part were pretty wrong. Girl models, us models. At one point, they said 30 inches of snow. We're going to get about 2 to 4. But the free. The sleet comes next. And then after that, the freezing rain and. And then the below zero temps. That's what makes it a skating rink.

[Ray]

I was thinking, because this. Tell me if this is a good idea is if I go out tomorrow morning and I spray my whole backyard with water.

[Paul]

Yeah. Yeah. That's how they make hockey in Michigan. Idiot.

[Ray]

And then it'll freeze and my kids can just sled, like slide all over the backyard.

[Paul]

Yes. But I'll put it on steroids for you. Just do some, like, rocks. If you have just something, some sort of barrier that will hold the water, you literally will have a pond for your kids. But you just have to figure out how to hold it in. Otherwise, if you have a dip in your backyard.

[Ray]

I got a baby pool. Like, you know those blue plastic pools you buy at Walmart? I'll fill that up and they'll skate on that. Yeah.

[Paul]

I wish it was bigger, but.

[Ray]

I wish it was bigger, bro.

[Paul]

In Michigan, the second is about to get cold. All right, who's got a low point in their backyard? Put some water in it. Love a pond. Three days, lickety split, you're gonna be playing hockey. That's how. That's literally how NHL was born. Somebody in their backyard with cold temps and a water hose.

[Ray]

That sounds awesome. See?

[Paul]

Yeah, I was thinking about mine. You need something, some sort of like, bricks, Any of that stuff works just to hold the water long enough for it to start to freeze. So you would do it right as the temps are dropping.

[Ray]

Okay, so I need to go buy bricks, cement, to, like, make the cement dry in between the bricks so there's no cracks. Then fill that up with water and I'll have An ice rink?

[Paul]

Yeah. It needs to be a lower spot in your backyard. The grass doesn't matter who camps of crab. It's a winter time.

[Ray]

It'll grow back.

[Paul]

This will be. This is. This is your. What is it they say, kids? Your. Let's get to it. We don't do Google. This is your big moment. You're.

[Ray]

I already know.

[Paul]

Say it.

[Ray]

Core memory.

[Paul]

Core memory. Some tic tac thing. This is your kid's core memory. When dad built the pond in the backyard. You got to make it happen. I ain't got kids, man.

[Ray]

Soon, man, you're going to learn that. You got to do all this crap.

[Paul]

I'm going to have some kids when I retire, but not until then. See, we don't got. We don't got a low spot. I think in a city with sidewalks.

[Ray]

Oh, yeah.

[Paul]

You really should be able to build it.

[Ray]

What if I go. I got an idea.

[Paul]

And one better put down some trash bags.

[Ray]

Oh.

[Paul]

You know what I'm saying? So then it's going to be. I mean, then you'll almost have no bumps on the ice. Like, we're talking as close as you can make it to a pool. Your kids are going to be ice skating on the damn thing.

[Ray]

And my kids have been asking to go ice skating. Dad, how come we've never gone ice skating? We're the only ones in our family that have never been ice skating because their cousins went ice skating and they saw pictures and they were like, we're the only ones in our family. I'm like, we only have four cousins. Let's not act like we have a big family. Let's not act like it's bananas. Okay? Let's. Let's relax a little bit.

[Paul]

Morgan, I don't know if you're finished with your story. Morgan saying she's going down the hill. Yeah, that's tempting, you know, being cute with God. Like, there's people dying on this and you're gonna go sled on it. She's talking about going down a hill with freezing rain on it. I'm like, that's how you break your neck.

[Ray]

Yeah, yeah, like that.

[Paul]

It'll be fun with the snow, but there's gonna be sleet and also freezing rain on that thing.

[Ray]

Yeah, but if it's just snow, I'm down. I mean, but if it's just ice, we're not going to do it. We can't be doing that.

[Paul]

I don't know if you've seen it with the temperatures and the pink greens, yellows and blues. I remember it could be snow one second and it's sleet the next, and all it takes is that. And it's freezing rain on the hill downtown. And there's going to be a lot of homeless people that die because a lot of them go up there and smoke crank.

[Ray]

Really?

[Paul]

Yeah. They look out over the Capitol. Yeah. And they talk about all the stuff they were going to do in their lives, and that thing gets slippery.

[Ray]

Man, I hope we get them into a shelter. I hope we round them up and, you know, get them into a warm place. Well, like, maybe we open Bridgestone.

[Paul]

Don't get me on my rant with Cappy.

[Ray]

Your rant with Cappy?

[Paul]

Yeah. Happened at the convention.

[Ray]

Oh, I heard about it. Oh, that's a warm vent. That's a warm venture. They need to be sleeping on the warm vents. If they don't sleep on the warm vent, I don't feel bad for them.

[Paul]

Well, I also went on a whole other tangent about how Cappy has no arms and legs, or he has arms, no legs. And I said he's 90% more productive than the homeless population in Nashville.

[Ray]

Well, it's very uplifting of you to talk about Cappy like that. And you want to tell you about my story. So Justin Moreland, he's a rookie this year, and he's probably welding right now. He's probably welding a pontoon boat together as he listens to this. And, man, he came up to me at the end of the convention, had me make a video for his brother, because he was like, dude, my wife will come next year. And I was like, all right, Coolios. And my brother, he's like, send a video to my brother. And so I sent a video, his brother. And I was like, yo, bro, I don't know what's going to happen the next year. If you're going to grow stones, you'll be able to come to the convention. I don't know if that'll happen, but you know what I mean? Like, maybe you'll grow up in the next year and realize you've been missing out on something amazing.

[Paul]

You made him get you on cameo?

[Ray]

No, no, just regular. Like, he hand me his phone.

[Paul]

Whoa.

[Ray]

You did them for free at the convention? I did. I sent his brother a little note. Well, I guess he sent it to his brother because his brother sent us an email, and he was not happy. He said, my first email to sln. What's up, Sore Losers Nation? My name is Tyler Moreland from Glen Rose, Arkansas. My brother, Justin Moreland has been A sore loser for a while now. And he met you guys for the first time at the recent convention. It seemed incredibly fun and he showed me your shout out lunchbox. You told me to grow some balls and come to the next next one. So let me just say I didn't know yet that you had a swollen testicle. So they might actually be bigger than mine right now. But I will see you if I can't grow them more before the next convention and I'll be sure to show up. I'm a full time listener now and I'm ready to become a sore loser whatever it takes. Go Cowboys. Go Razorbacks. Thanks, guys. Tyler. So to me, Tyler has never listened to the podcast is what that's telling me. And I sent this video like he had listened to the podcast and he's probably like, who is this idiot telling me to grow some balls? So I was under the impression that him and Justin like bonded over this, but apparently Tyler maybe never listened to.

[Paul]

Yeah. It is good, though, the rookie class, when you took that picture. Awesome.

[Ray]

It wasn't my idea. Oh, that was all Randy's idea. I think so. Hey, we should get a whole picture of the rookie class. And I was like, why didn't we do that before? We've never done that before. And Dustin, I mean, this dude from Texas State, he might be a smart guy. He works in AI. He said something very deep. He goes, you actually did do a picture of the rookie class the first year when you guys took a picture, that was all the rookie class. I was like, well done, dude. Touche. And then yesterday I'm going through some stuff and old foray, he was in the fantasy league. Didn't even mention it this weekend.

[Paul]

See, that's the thing. Last year with Jesse Leyva, we realized late that he was the.

[Ray]

I got a system.

[Paul]

I got a system. Justin realized it different. Justin, my Justin realized that middle podcast convention that he was. I got a number.

[Ray]

Yeah. And then Stacy, I met her husband this weekend, Ron. And lo and behold, I'm going through yesterday. Ron was in the dank fantasy league. Had no idea.

[Paul]

Well, and I thought Stacy was dating Cappy when I first met Cappy.

[Ray]

No, Stacy's married to Ron.

[Paul]

Right. But I thought Cappy and Stacy were together.

[Ray]

Yes, that's what I'm saying. It's like all these dots are connected.

[Paul]

When I was also connecting cities with people, wherever they cheered for a team, I always thought Sam was from Dallas. He's from San Diego. I always thought the Cleveland people were from Cleveland. They're from Toledo.

[Ray]

That's the same thing.

[Paul]

She was so mad.

[Ray]

They're right next door.

[Paul]

She goes, hey, seriously, though, on the pod, can you say Toledo like we don't live in Cleveland? Because we always said the Cleveland people.

[Ray]

Yeah, yeah, maybe. Aaron. At least I don't like. I don't know. What is Cleveland bad?

[Paul]

Well, just negative connotations.

[Ray]

Oh, yeah. I mean, it's crazy. And I did. I don't know if you checked your Venmo.

[Paul]

Oh, you hit me up.

[Ray]

I hit you on Venmo.

[Paul]

Well, it was Justin. He's been unemployed for two months and you haven't said High Point yet.

[Ray]

I know. I said High Point yesterday. I went through and I did. High Point. High Point. High Point. High Point. And let me tell you what I noticed. There were a few people that just scored high point every damn week.

[Paul]

Well, it better be $30.

[Ray]

McCaffert, he won High Point like six times.

[Paul]

Well, that's how he made the playoffs.

[Ray]

Big Time Tsunami made the playoffs. He won High Point seven times. Geez, seven.

[Paul]

We want it five or six, depending on if you paid mid season. A couple.

[Ray]

Your boy, me one time.

[Paul]

Oh, we want it five, dude. We don't get a shout out because you paid us mid season and then postseason.

[Ray]

I only paid you for the postseason. Those are the ones I'm going off of, so they may have won it more. And what's crazy is Big Time Tsunami went on a run and I look at the standings. He won high points seven times. He outscored me on the season by nine points. So that tells you how close I was.

[Paul]

That's what makes a difference. Me having a little feeling that JTT Jonathan Taylor Thomas was gonna have a big year. He did. Justin didn't go with my gut. Me giving up Judkins, Quinn Chandra Judkins. Cause he was in jail, or he wasn't in jail, but he wasn't on an NFL team. That cost us Justin. Getting rid of Courtney Loveland, Sutton and.

[Ray]

Scatter Boo was good for you, man.

[Paul]

Until he died.

[Ray]

He did die.

[Paul]

But look how he runs.

[Ray]

But then now he started being a streamer, and he's not very right.

[Paul]

Well, the running. You knew Scatter Boo was always going to get hurt. He runs like a guy at a bar fight, man. It's just gross. Ugly gets it done. It's not one of your smoother runners. Like maybe a Bajan Robinson reminds me of all stock.

[Ray]

Boom boom. Just running over people.

[Paul]

They were fun to watch, man. They're gonna be great with Harbaugh oh.

[Ray]

It'S gonna be a good time man. Good times.

[Paul]

Salah. We got our guy.

[Ray]

Oh we did get our guy. No McDaniel like you said though, great call, good inside source. We'll take a break.

[Ray]

Soar. Loser. What up, everybody? I am lunchbox. I know the most about sports. So I'll give you the sports facts, my sports opinions because I'm pretty much a sports genius.

[Paul]

What up, y'?

[Odoo Advertiser]

All?

[Paul]

It is Sizzin. There is going to be a plan with these cameras. We're going to build a package and we're going to sell it to whoever will buy it. The buyer might be a dollar. You never know. Or we could try and get people to negotiate against each other. What up, y'?

[Ray]

All?

[Paul]

It is Sizzin. That's from the northern hemisphere. Bays are my wife, man. Never, never try to add stuff to your intro. Gets hard. What up, y'?

[Ray]

All?

[Paul]

It's citizen. I'm from the north. I'm an alpha male. I live on the north side of Nashville with bayser, my wife. We got 2.333 acres. There's gonna be snow, sleet, and then will come the freezing rain on all of that acreage. But it'll probably look beautiful. Who knows? I'll be at a hotel the entire weekend going into next week because I heart said we want you safe. Bless them. God bless them. But yeah, two eggs are gonna be fine this weekend at Vanderbilt, it'll be so cold, usually they're defrosting. Because Justin now lives in Michigan, he's gonna come home soon now that he got the high point. $30. That's all he needed to get him a little vehicle and some gas and come on down south. Miss you, man. Over to you.

[Liquid IV Promoter]

Lunch.

[Ray]

You really stay in a hotel all weekend?

[Paul]

Yeah, dude, they randomly hit me up. We want you there Saturday through Tuesday. I told her, but she wants to be with the cat.

[Ray]

Oh, man. How are you gonna be at selv and baser's going to be out in the country by herself.

[Paul]

I ain't going to be by myself. I'm going to be surrounded by my closest friends at 10 Roof.

[Ray]

I don't think I'm going to be surrounded by my friend Mickey and ultra.

[Paul]

I don't think me and McKitty can constitutes as me by myself.

[Ray]

Well, my apologies, I forgot your feet work and you can walk over to the alcoholic beverage place. Oh, called a bar.

[Paul]

I wanted it perfect to where I could just go in Sunday night. Kind of cool to go in a hotel couple days during the week so I could still chill and party it up on the weekend with baser. But work was like, no, no, we're not joking about this. It's gonna be very serious. You need to leave Saturday morning. I'm like, okay, so I'm just gonna. Until the bar is open, I will be sitting in a hotel room on the floor.

[Ray]

Wow. By myself. That's rough.

[Paul]

But, but yeah, with her work, computers and stuff, Baser had to stay home. And the cat, I go, the cow be fine by itself for a week. But she doesn't think that.

[Ray]

Hey, I understand. She's gotta, gotta make sure that cat is in prime condition for the voting. She has to put updated pictures because if you're gonna win, you gotta be streaming live with the cat.

[Paul]

And she Baser texted me and goes, I need you to pick up four bottles of champagne. And I go, haha, that's funny. And she goes, no, I'm serious.

[Ray]

Oh, she gonna drink all those by herself.

[Paul]

Four days I'm away.

[Ray]

One a day. Yeah, one a day while Ray is away.

[Paul]

But yeah, this store, dude, this storm is interesting.

[Ray]

It's crazy, man.

[Paul]

The guy down the hallway. Yeah, I guess they hooked the two producers for whatever they bent over backwards. They just bent us over. And it's me and him and we're both at the hotel and he goes, hey man, I'll just be there with a bottle of bourbon in my PlayStation if you want to come over.

[Ray]

Whoa.

[Paul]

I'm gonna pass on that one. But what?

[Ray]

No, why would you not. Why would you pass me and him? I don't understand.

[Paul]

For shot playing Madden.

[Ray]

Oh, you, you got a first down, you gotta do a shot. Oh my God. Hey, hey. Touchdown, Ray. Oh, I've got to do a belly button shot out of you. I mean, that sounds like a perfect weekend. I don't know what's wrong.

[Paul]

I mean, don't get me wrong, hotel rooms are amazing until you're by yourself and you have no friends and you're just looking at.

[Ray]

No, no, but you, but you got that guy with bourbon. You guys can sit in the bed, lean, you know, and play Madden all day. How fun, right?

[Paul]

But, but well, let me just say this. For the people that travel for work, there is no lonelier feeling than being in a hotel room. It doesn't matter. Five star, four star. It could be the Astoria. Waldorf Astoria, New York City.

[Ray]

Oh, that's a nice one.

[Paul]

We stayed there being South Beach.

[Ray]

Whoa.

[Paul]

By yourself? Guys, there is not a lonelier feeling on the planet. So with all that said, maybe I go hang out with the guy with bourbon and PlayStation, man.

[Ray]

Yeah, I think so. I mean, watch the games together.

[Paul]

That was literally his pitch to me. Oh, and he hits me with. Because we're talking about what time we're gonna. Because you don't know exactly. Wait, you see, it's sleet, then it's freezing rain.

[Ray]

Yeah, see, I don't see that till, like, at least afternoon.

[Liquid IV Promoter]

Right?

[Paul]

I mean, well, guess what, homie hits me with what? Yeah, I don't know exactly when it's going to be going down, but I'm just going to head up there at 10am until they let me in the room. I'll just be in the lobby if you want to join. So the. The pitch is I'm going to hang out in the lobby. You and me sneaking bourbon underneath a coat. And then after that, for the post game, we're going to go to your room and play mad McKinney.

[Ray]

Are you? Save me, McKinney. You ready to go out yet?

[Paul]

Nobody's. He's dead serious. He's got my number, so I'm just gonna hit him with. You ready?

[Ray]

Go ahead.

[Paul]

Don't drink. I gave up the bottle.

[Ray]

Oh, until he sees you on Instagram. Out with McKitty.

[Paul]

Nah, he's older. I don't think he's got that.

[Ray]

You're probably right. Let me. Let me check out the hourly. Dude. Let me see what we're doing here. So tomorrow, Hourly. What is this?

[Paul]

That's what I'm saying. You're not going to pull it up with weatherchannel.com youm need one of them apps.

[Odoo Advertiser]

Why?

[Paul]

Because they're the ones you. You pay for where they actually break it down and use metrics instead of numbers and pretty pictures.

[Ray]

Okay, starting at 8am, light snow. 9, 10, 11am 12 snow. Then a 1 and 2 is wintery mix. And then starting at 3, freezing rain.

[Paul]

Late night, it's gonna get sticky.

[Ray]

Oh, then it's freezing rain all the way till. Oh, my gosh, all the way through 11am on Sunday morning. Guys, we probably won't have a pod Monday.

[Paul]

He did tell me he'd text me.

[Ray]

Okay. Has he texted you yet?

[Paul]

Thank God.

[Ray]

Oh, man. So where are you gonna watch the games? You're gonna watch him at the hotel or at the bar.

[Paul]

Well, this is what I told Bazer. I said, ideally.

[Ray]

There'S the bomb. They went blowing when we were on the pond. They just blew. Why did they not blow while I was out there? I want to see some blowing up close and personal.

[Paul]

God, I want to go to Demon Brian, where we did the convention a little bit. Some of those bars in there. Dailies.

[Ray]

Yep. And Happy does Nashville Golf zone.

[Paul]

Are they into Mumbreon? No, no.

[Ray]

Putting zone is not the.

[Paul]

The games are best at that type. I don't want to be alone again in my hotel room, sitting there on my bed, watching.

[Ray]

You want to come over to the crib?

[Paul]

I tell you what, I'll tell you what. Jim, they gotta put Romo. Jim. It's gonna be a good one.

[Ray]

Oh, Jim. It looks like. Wait, is that Abby and Arnold making out at the 50 yard line? Oh, get that TV.

[Paul]

Ah, Jim. Either it's cold out here. She's happy to see us.

[Ray]

Her headlights are on on her V. I mean. Oh, that's her chest. Sorry, my bad. Oh, man, they are pointing at me. Jim.

[Paul]

Jim Nance here with Tony Romo. Tony.

[Ray]

Who wins it?

[Paul]

I love Romo. People are rude for making fun of him, for making noises.

[Ray]

It's gonna come down to the fourth quarter, Jim. You know, it's whoever has that ball last.

[Paul]

Tony, what do you think that this type of precipitation looks like sticky?

[Ray]

Jim.

[Paul]

I like him. Romo's great, but. Yeah, I want to watch that at a bar. It really. Playoff type games. Those are big moments. You don't, you know, you remember those moments. Well, where'd you see the crazy Hail Mary pass?

[Ray]

I was at my. On my. Standing right. Right side of the tv, right corner.

[Paul]

Yeah. I was with a guy, bottle of bourbon, halfway down, and he just beat me at Madden. And we were in our undies. That's the story I tell.

[Ray]

Yeah. That's weird. And I mean, are you cheering for any team? Are you cheering?

[Paul]

Well, I did say before the season. NFL, not before the season. Correct, sorry. Before the playoffs, I said Patriots and Rams.

[Ray]

Oh, my God, you might be right.

[Paul]

And before that, two days before, I told Kevin, Patriots and Broncos, but changed it at the last second. All right. Broncos and Rams, but changed it at the last second. So I actually called three of the four final teams. A lot of ones in there. I get it. But to be right is pretty cool.

[Public Investing Advertiser]

So.

[Paul]

And then I said Rams all the way. So I gotta have Rams and Patriots for one person in the building. Kevin. To think that. I know what I'm talking about. You.

[Ray]

I want. I want the Rams to win as much as Matthew Stafford was a lion and you know what I mean. I think he is so freaking good. And I think we undervalue how good he was because he was on such terrible teams in Detroit. But he's won it before and stop. I understand. I do believe that he is going to win the super bowl and retire. Like this would be the perfect ending hall of Fame career. Win the mvp. Win the Super Bowl. Go out on top and ride away in the sunset. And then I want the Patriots so Kevin can go to the super bowl and watch him.

[Paul]

What? Both of our explanations included Kevin.

[Ray]

Yeah. I want Kevin to have that experience where he gets to watch his favorite team in the super bowl live in person.

[Paul]

But the real question is, does he have tickets or he has a hookup.

[Ray]

Yeah.

[Paul]

Oh, okay.

[Ray]

Yeah.

[Paul]

Wow.

[Ray]

Yeah.

[Paul]

He's getting off work and crap.

[Ray]

Yeah.

[Paul]

Freaking great. Me and pick. Gotta pick up the slack.

[Ray]

Yeah. And win. Now here's the thing. Everybody thinks it's a done deal. The Patriots are winning that game.

[Paul]

No, it's not.

[Ray]

Nick Foles with the absolute most savage tweet ever. Did you see it?

[Paul]

Yes. Backups back up.

[Ray]

No, I don't know what. I don't know if that's.

[Paul]

He said don't. Don't sleep on backups because he won the super bowl as a backup. Congrats. Funny. It was funny a week ago and.

[Ray]

He took it down. Yeah.

[Paul]

I like all tweets. They're funny. Two drinks in not the next morning. The Patriots, Rams. Funny. Winner, loss.

[Ray]

I'll be watching the games. I would hope I'll watch the games. I know Batter's box. Then they got watched football. But I will. I don't know if batter's box will watch because the Niners are out.

[Paul]

So guys, don't quote me on this stat. Do quote me on the tree stat.

[Ray]

Seven.

[Paul]

£7,000 with freezing rain.

[Ray]

How about Indiana? Man, that was awesome.

[Paul]

We're going to break down the College Football Playoff.

[Ray]

We broke down the Bears. Caleb Williams. Hail Mary. But my question was that Indiana is the most improbable champion we've ever seen in college football.

[Public Investing Advertiser]

Ever.

[Paul]

Great. Thanks. Every Sports center person has said that in the last five days.

[Ray]

How amazing is that, Coach?

[Paul]

Freaking dude. I went to college with a bunch of kids from Indiana. Thank God they didn't text me.

[Ray]

How amazing is that, Coach Signati. Unbelievable. And I saw the signetti cigarette shirts. Saw it.

[Paul]

The game that I was going to say this stat. Don't hold me to it, guys, before I was so rudely interrupted.

[Ray]

Sorry.

[Paul]

A dog in this type of a game, bigger than a minus 5 spread is 10, 0, really against the spread. So it doesn't mean they win the game, but Broncos are going to keep it close. That's just such a dirty line, which. Which agrees with what you just said.

[Ray]

10 and O against the spread and six times they've won straight up.

[Paul]

So do not quote me on that. But I believe I read it correctly. It's just a dirty line. It's a dirty line. Jim.

[Ray]

Dude, you're going to be iced in. There's gonna be no reason you can't watch the games. Guys, enjoy the weekend. Recover from sore losers convention. If you were there, if you didn't bother to show up, think about what you missed. Think about how you can improve your behavior and show up next year. That's all I can say.

[Paul]

And because I'm a man of the people and I tell a story, I always like to have some sort of payoff. I have got to take my man up on his offer. I gotta go see the bottle of bourbon in the PlayStation in the room.

[Ray]

Yeah.

[Paul]

The dude's like 55. I gotta go see the setup and just laugh to myself and then I gotta bail. I gotta fake an emergency. Somebody I know slipped on ice. Gotta go. Something. But I have got to take a picture of this hotel room for the nation, please.

[Ray]

I kind of did.

[Paul]

Like, how funny is the idea of me?

[Ray]

You Selby, Were you and that dude.

[Paul]

Dude, me, him, a bottle of Maker's mark and a PlayStation 1 in the background. It's. What, a low point in my career.

[Ray]

Yeah. And I just got to say, last week I talked about the convention and I talked about Coaches Convention one. And there was a couple that were engaged and there was. They brought a friend and they got snowed into Vegas and I thought they were going back to North Dakota and they. I don't know how long they got stuck in Vegas. We never heard from them again. Never knew if they even made it back.

[Liquid IV Promoter]

Cappy.

[Ray]

No, this was Coaches Convention one. Cappy. Oh, we knew he made it back. I got an update. Coachers. I just listened to Friday's pod and heard you talking about the engaged couple and their friend that got stuck in Vegas after CC1. We were that couple. We were stuck in Vegas for an extra three days due to a snowstorm back home in North Carolina. We still listen to every pod since CC1. We got married, bought and renovated our home and had our first baby boy. All of these life events have kept us from coming back, hoping we can make it next year to CC6. Do me a solid and return to Vegas so I can be a degenerate gambler at the blackjack table. Chris in Brooklyn.

[Paul]

We just can't go to Vegas. We got too many people in recovery. Unless that changes over the next planning. Six months. You did your July 1st date?

[Ray]

Yep. And I'm just going to say, Chris in Brooklyn, I'm glad you're still around. I want to know, is that friend still in the picture? Does that friend still hang out with you guys? And then there's another couple that would come to the convention. They didn't do social media. They lived in California. They would always branch off, go to the Vegas Knights game, and they would drive in, and he's a big dude, and I don't know if they still listen. Big text. Whatever happened to Big Tex? Big dude, bald. Is he still around?

[Paul]

That's right.

[Ray]

People I think about, man. The weed brothers from Colorado, they still around? I don't know. It's a lot of people I think about, man.

[Paul]

The kid that in the motorcycle accident, Miguel. Why didn't he come?

[Ray]

I don't know.

[Paul]

Yeah, the. Oh, geez, man.

[Ray]

You know why he didn't come? He was tired of wearing cowboy gear. He was tired of the cowboys letting him down. He was just. He runs his mouth all year, and he disappeared at the convention. Maybe his wife said, you're grounded. I don't know. His wife's a sweetheart. We got to go.

[Paul]

I'm gonna stop this video.

[Ray]

Yeah. Stop it, man. Hey, bye, YouTube. Bye. Bye.

[Paul]

Stop that beast. Yeah, I just want to make sure it stopped. Oh, man. Am I stopping this or keeping it going?

[Ray]

Yeah, no, we're good, man. We're going, right?

[Paul]

It's recording still.

[Ray]

Oh, it is.

[Paul]

I just want to see if this thing stops. You said, Bye, YouTube. Oh, and it went split screen.

[Ray]

Did it really?

[Paul]

That's how it ended.

[Ray]

Oh, that's legit, dude. Did we get comments?

[Paul]

Yeah.

[Ray]

Tell me who it was.

[Paul]

Mr. BS2S coaches. What up?

[Ray]

What up?

[Paul]

Video and audio is perfect. Laugh my ass off, Ray. You might need to start getting a weekly spray tan. Like Bones. What? Jane. Yes. More videos. Heather justice for cat calendars. Tito, that's a scam for sure. Kirsten. Hello. Doesn't even look like a listener might have stumbled on our video. Tito establishing dominance. He's the alpha. See, I don't know what the exact stuff they're commenting on.

[Ray]

Yeah, that's good though.

[Paul]

Enoch, you guys should read live comments from the losers on Here we are. Enoch again. Rest in peace, Cappy.

[Ray]

Oh, as you said. Yeah, we lost him in the snowstorm.

[Paul]

Enoch again.

[Ray]

He's. Enoch is everywhere.

[Paul]

I'm from PR Joined the Coast Guard. They sent me to Arkansas straight out of boot camp. Saw more snow in one year to last me a lifetime.

[Ray]

PR Is Puerto Rico.

[Paul]

Wow. Jenny, coaches, Enoch. Is the show over? Enoch. Laugh out loud. Heather again. My 3 and 5 year old were jamming to the drum line in the car. Can y' all play it longer? Like six or seven minutes? Comments are great. We're back.

[Ray]

We are back.

[Odoo Advertiser]

Dude.

[Paul]

Dude.

[Ray]

What?

[Paul]

We had three people watching it.

[Ray]

Next stop. We're Mr. Beast, man. We're Mr. Beast, Man. I'm gonna tell you. Hey, I got an email. Coachers, you posted on the gram 100 pictures of the same 4 people. Did anyone go to the convention this year? What is going on?

[Paul]

Every picture. Sam, me, you and Sherry.

[Ray]

That's from Jeff Kaminsky, man. Hey, Jeff, sorry you didn't get any of those pictures, man. We forgot to take pictures of you, man. That's our fault. Apologies. Oh, wait, you weren't there so you wouldn't know. There was a lot of damn people. You jerk.

[Paul]

You guys use creative eagles to just post the same four people. Didn't look like a good turnout.

[Ray]

There's only four people at the convention, man. What do you want us to do? Busted. We're busted, dude.

[Paul]

One picture. I don't even. I. It was at pins. I took a picture of the whole pins. I said crazy turnout, but it was really just our section right in front. But it was the whole group, the entire Nashville at pins.

[Ray]

Oh, man, that was good stuff.

[Paul]

All right, I'm ending this.

[Ray]

Yeah, end it.
