Episode Overview

In this episode of the Sore Losers offshoot of The Bobby Bones Show, hosts Lunchbox and Sizzin deliver a lively and sometimes irreverent take on Halloween, sports, streaming woes, and neighborhood drama. The conversation ranges from inappropriate costume ideas and trunk-or-treat gripes to the fallout from YouTube TV dropping ESPN/ABC ahead of a major sports weekend, fan run-ins, and their families’ Halloween plans. The show’s signature is its raw, unfiltered banter, with plenty of jokes, personal anecdotes, and side tangents that capture the feel of two friends talking sports, life, and entertainment.

Key Discussion Points

1. Streaming Chaos: YouTube TV vs. ESPN/ABC (09:00–14:46, 53:00+)

• Crisis for College Football Fans: The hosts vent about YouTube TV pulling ESPN and ABC just before a huge football weekend, and the ripple effect for themselves and friends.
  • Sizzin: “It’s like mom and dad saying they’re going to get a divorce and they never do…Well, YouTube and ESPN…they got a divorce. They weren’t kidding.” (09:20)
  • Lunchbox: “They pulled those channels…Good luck watching football.” (11:13)
• Bar Viewing Drama: Sizzin initially believes bars won’t be affected but Lunchbox corrects him—most bars still use cable/satellite, not YouTube TV.
• Cable as a Lifeline: Lunchbox, often mocked for still having cable, now takes pride: “But the fact is, this cable that I pay for still has ABC and ESPN.” (12:24)
• Alternative TV Options: They discuss Hulu Live and the annoyance of needing live TV upgrades for access to sports.
• Sports Betting Tie-in: With channels pulled, Sizzin jokes: “TV’s not even gonna be on. There’s no sports on with ABC and ESPN gone.” (53:03)

2. Halloween Shenanigans and Costume Debate (17:43–36:31, 58:28–61:08)

• Early Holiday Prep: Sizzin’s wife puts up Christmas lights and a tree before Halloween—a move Lunchbox finds “so stupid.” (18:01)
• Inappropriate Costume Concepts:
  • Sizzin jokes about being a pedophile for Halloween—shut down instantly by Lunchbox:
    • Lunchbox: “That is not the one costume you can be. No, that’s the one costume you 100% cannot be.” (18:44)
  • Sizzin, undeterred, riffs on being a “registered sex offender”—which Lunchbox repeatedly asserts is not funny for trick-or-treat.
• Trunk-or-Treat Hate:
  • Lunchbox rails against the proliferation of trunk-or-treats: “They’re the stupidest things in the world…We’ve blown this out of proportion.” (20:09)
  • Sizzin pokes fun at office Halloween parties as an excuse for coworkers to “wear a skirt.”
• Kids’ Costume Chaos:
  • Lunchbox’s kids have last minute costume meltdowns (27:57–29:47): one refuses to be “Steve from Minecraft,” the other a Power Ranger who refuses the mask.
  • Coolest costume winner: a kid dressed as a Cybertruck with working lights (21:06–21:59).
• Host Costumes:
  • Lunchbox: “Poop.”
  • Sizzin’s father (“Toolbox”): “Half man, half woman”—detailed costume with half beard, half earring (32:14).
• Candy Logistics:
  • Sizzin’s wife spends $100 on jumbo bags; Lunchbox leaves one small bag out since they’ll be away.
  • “Your driveway is one mile long,” Lunchbox jokes, saying no kid would trick-or-treat there. Sizzin suggests setting up at the bottom of the driveway for efficiency.
• Costume Psychology:
  • Sizzin muses about how people’s costume choices (vampire, prostitute) reflect “alter egos.”
  • Lunchbox: “It gave them an excuse to be slutty. It was so awesome to see these girls let loose.” (35:36)

3. Awkward Neighborhood & Social Encounters (23:18–25:37, 47:41–52:24)

• Fan Encounter: Sizzin describes being recognized by a “good old truck driver” while getting takeout (24:00). They share brief, awkward pleasantries.
• Sympathy Party Invites:
  • Lunchbox tells about neighbors who awkwardly invite them to a Halloween party, pretending he usually hosts his own parties. His wife bluntly replies, “We don’t have people over for Halloween,” making the exchange especially uncomfortable. (49:34–50:18)
  • Sizzin: “You couldn’t pay me to be part of that awkward conversation.” (50:18)
  • They riff on fake memories/wild lines, and joke about making up wild party details (“lady cut in half,” “a dragon,” “a live tiger”).
• Party Hierarchy:
  • Jokes about what makes a “rich, rich” party (tarot reader, hibachi chef).

4. Sports Weekend: Soccer, Betting, and Predictions (36:42–44:10, 54:41–59:50)

• Messi in Nashville:
  • Messi’s arrival for an MLS playoff game is a huge moment for local fans.
  • Lunchbox’s son is singularly excited to “boo Messi”—repeating this anticipation for days. (37:47–39:22)
  • Ticket logistics, playoff structure, Nashville’s poor season trajectory, and weather worries.
  • Sizzin recalls childhood rainy games and marathon amusement park days, comparing sports fandom with family traditions.
• Sports Betting "Money Makers":
  • After griping about the TV blackout, Lunchbox shares NFL picks, focusing on “dumpster fire” teams and upsets (54:41–58:28).
• Other Sports:
  • College football: Texas, Vandy, Heisman hopefuls, and injury rumors.
  • Brief commentary on the state of Nashville’s major sports teams.

---

Tone and Style

The conversation is fast, casual, a bit raucous, and relentlessly self-deprecating. Edgy humor sometimes toes the line, especially in the costume debate, but both hosts are quick to call out “bad ideas,” maintaining an air of camaraderie amidst their disagreements. The episode oozes Halloween and sports fan culture, with plenty of inside jokes and relatable complaints about streaming, parties, parenting, and fall traditions.

---

Takeaways for Listeners

• Halloween: It’s a messy blend of hilarious costume successes (and parenting fails), social awkwardness, and the ongoing war between adult fun and kid-friendly traditions.
• Sports: The YouTube TV/ESPN fallout is a relatable disaster for sports fans. The hosts offer both catharsis and pragmatic solutions (cable, betting).
• Neighbors: Sometimes, it really is better to skip that awkward party invitation.
• Family & Fans: Whether it’s getting recognized by a truck driver or dealing with kids’ fickle costume choices, the best stories usually come from real, imperfect moments.

---

End-of-Episode Reminder:
"Happy Halloween, everybody. Enjoy your candy, enjoy the trick or treating. Just, whatever you do, don’t dress up as a pedophile. Please don’t. Don’t do that, dude…It’ll be bad for the pod." (60:28–60:46)

[Lunchbox]

I turned off news altogether. I hate to say it, but I don't trust much of anything.

[Lego Star Wars Advertiser]

It's the rage bait.

[Lunchbox]

It feels like it's trying to divide people. If we got clear facts, maybe we can calm down a little.

[NBC News Announcer]

NBC News brings you clear reporting. Let's meet at the Facts. Let's move forward from there. NBC News reporting for America.

[Lego Star Wars Advertiser]

Does anything go better than Lego and Star Wars? I don't think so. Kids will love becoming a part of the galactic action while playing out their favorite adventures. Like with Jango Fett Starship. I mean, this LEGO set is fantastic. It features a detailed recreation of Jango Fett's starship with four stud shooters, a seismic charge dropping function, and wings that rotate with gravity. Plus it has three minifigures. Jango Fett with two blasters and a jetpack. Young Boba Fett and Llama Su, perfect for endless play. Now for the big fans, there's Jango Fett's Firespray class starship from the Ultimate Collector series. Packed with details and surprises for fans, this large scale set is perfect for anyone hunting for a mindful building escape. Plus, you end up with a fantastic display piece. You can build this while your little ones build the kid set. You'll be like Jango and Boba building an adventure shop. Now for Star wars lego sets on lego.com or in lego retail stores.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, it's very scary. Okay, I know you're a ghost. I get it. Before we get into the bad news and how sad you are. I know you said you had. You know. Let's start the show. Let's just start it before you go on your rant about how upset you are and tired you are and angry you are.

[Sizzin]

Can you hear that?

[Lunchbox]

Yes, I hear it. See, if you had headphones on, you would hear it too. The fact you don't wear headphones drives me nuts.

[Sizzin]

No, unless this show pays the bills, I wear the headphones for the Monday through Friday, not a side quest.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, side quest. It's like I can't even hear it. Don't worry about it. Who cares about the audio?

[Sizzin]

It's like guys that cheat on their wives this side chick doesn't get birthday gifts. She doesn't get recognized at Christmas. She doesn't get proper hellos and goodbyes. I kind of just treat this little side podcast like that.

[Lunchbox]

Huh.

[Sizzin]

But not the listeners, man. I love our listeners.

[Lunchbox]

I'm pretty sure some of those side chicks are getting presents on their birthday, on Christmas.

[Sizzin]

How do you get a side chick a gift if you have the same account? They literally don't get gifts. The thing nobody talks about is the Coldplay concert coupled. It was cheating. They'd been cheating and never getting each other gifts. The affair person never gets presents.

[Lunchbox]

When you're that rich. He, you know, he's the CEO of some. They don't look at their credit card statement.

[Sizzin]

Then not him. Joe at the bank. That's cheating. With his secretary. He can never get his secretary a Christmas gift. How rude is that? And he's banging her.

[Lunchbox]

I disagree. I think some of them.

[Sizzin]

Okay, say you and Abby were hooking up. Whoa.

[Lunchbox]

I would never do that to Arnold.

[Sizzin]

So, yeah, lunch. I need to talk to you in the meeting. And it's not about the ten o' clock coffee. It's about my wife. Listen, if you and Abby were hooking up, you can't get her gifts. Your wife would find out you can only get her free gifts.

[Lunchbox]

I don't know. I think you could take a little bit of cash out of the ATM every now and then. Like, I'll put 20 bucks here, $20 there.

[Sizzin]

That's still not a good gift. You're not listening, subscription.

[Lunchbox]

You're not listening to Jelly of the Month, you're not listening. If you start at the beginning of October, taking 20 bucks out a week up until Christmas, not a bad gift.

[Sizzin]

Some people don't even plan for their retirement, much less an entire year to get your partner a gift.

[Lunchbox]

That's a great point. Some people don't plan. But I do believe more times than not, the side chick is at least. No, maybe they don't. Maybe that's why they get upset, is because they. You don't treat me like a real woman. You don't. I bet it's 50, 50, 50. 50% of them get presents and gifts. 50% do not.

[Sizzin]

If you engage in that, you're going to get the short end of the stick when it comes to birthdays, Christmas, Thanksgiving in the office, being courteous to them, proper text, a lot of that stuff.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, maybe you're right. I don't know. I've never had a side chick, so I'm not sure how it Works with Christmas. But everybody that a sore losers nation and everybody that's had a side chick or if you've been a side chick, email us. We are the sore losers at gmail dot com, so we know how it works.

[Sizzin]

And then you sure as crap can't get him a card. I understand. Those are.

[Lunchbox]

That's. That's. That's evidence.

[Sizzin]

Then it's written.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. You don't ever get him a birthday card. That's like writing a ledger and keeping it. You know, like, this is how I'm cheating on my taxes. And you have it all listed. It's like a playbook for the FBI. That is a playbook for your wife. If you give them a card. Oh, boy. Because then they just take a picture and put it on Instagram. Oh, look at the card he got me. Nope. A present. I didn't get her that.

[Sizzin]

In court. They pull up a 599 Hallmark card, and that breaks the case because one person will get more of the stuff in the divorce if they were cheating.

[Lunchbox]

I think so. Infidelity is a big deal. Yeah. And you have to do that. That discovery. They'll have to search that lady's apartment. They'll find the card and have Mickey Mouse on the front. Hey, me and you are like Mickey and Minnie.

[Sizzin]

Woohoo. Discovery. That's when they have access to your funds and they can see everything. Murdoch didn't want to do that. And that's how it all fell.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, that's how the Murdoch guy went.

[Sizzin]

Yeah. He was able to avoid discovery for months and months and months. And then the guy just kept saying he's a rich lawyer. I just didn't understand why he didn't want to show his finances. Well, it's because he was doing a bunch of secret stuff, and he had been keeping all the money from those people's car accidents and stuff.

[Lunchbox]

Their settlements.

[Sizzin]

Yep.

[Lunchbox]

And he's still in prison.

[Sizzin]

Oh, he'll be in prison for life because then his son and wife ended up getting killed.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, gosh. That's. That's. Yikes.

[Sizzin]

We're gonna do it live.

[Lunchbox]

We are the. 1, 2, 3, soar. Losers. What's up, everybody? I am Lunchbox. I know the most about sports, so I'll give you the sports facts, my sports opinions, because I'm pretty much a sports genius, y'.

[Sizzin]

All. It is Sizzin. I'm from the north. I'm an alpha male. I live on the north side of Nashville with baser. My wife. We live in the country. We have 2.3. 3 acres. And we have two kids at Vanderbilt. Justin is going to check on them in the electrophysiology unit. He does work today. He won't work on the weekends, so hopefully they'll be okay. And. And then I'm probably going to die of a heart attack when I'm 72.5. Over to you, man.

[Lunchbox]

No. You told me you had the lead, you had something you needed to rant about, and I don't ask questions. I just hand it over to you.

[Sizzin]

Well, I said we have stuff to talk about, and you go, I know we do. So I just figured it was a big enough story that we're both going to come with the same lead.

[Lunchbox]

Go ahead, man.

[Sizzin]

Let's say the one word at the same time.

[Lunchbox]

1, 2, 3. YouTube.

[Sizzin]

You're an idiot. I know. When we have the same lead.

[Lunchbox]

I mean, that wasn't going to be my lead until I realized how upset you are about it. Batter's box. His life has been changed, turned, flipped upside down. Austin Tavares. His life has been changed, flip turned upside down in the matter of minutes.

[Sizzin]

Oh, I forgot about that dude in St. Louis. I used to borrow his YouTube TV. He's probably all messed up about it, too.

[Lunchbox]

He is upset about it. His life has been screwed, turned, flipped upside down in a matter of moments. It's crazy how quick life can change.

[Sizzin]

I hate to talk in analogies, but they make life so easy. It's like mom and dad. They always say they're going to get a divorce, and they never get a divorce. Well, YouTube and ESPN and ABC, they got a divorce. They weren't kidding.

[Lunchbox]

They. They. They weren't messing around. They kept saying, hey, we might get divorced. Oh, my gosh. Like, guys, we're on. We're. Our relationship is rocky. You know, we're going through the tough times, but they finally hit rock bottom, and they could. They. They couldn't stand each other anymore, and they're out. So good luck watching football.

[Sizzin]

Bazer sends me an email. So I discovered this morning. And the email was four paragraphs, and I didn't see any channels listed. It just said something about a $20 credit from YouTube. And I thought, oh, they're probably saying that they're negotiating like they always do. They never cut channels. And then Baser goes, there's no ESPN and there's no abc. And I go, what? And then I read the fine print, and it says, those channels have been terminated. College football, dude.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, I understand. Because.

[Sizzin]

Batters game, Saturday night. Texas game, Saturday morning. World Series.

[Lunchbox]

That's on Fox, so you'll be okay. But, yeah.

[Sizzin]

General Hospital, abc.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, no, Batter's box. Been talking to me for months, maybe years. You gotta get YouTube TV. Why don't you have YouTube TV? Oh, my gosh, YouTube TV. Well, how do you like YouTube TV now?

[Sizzin]

McAfee show is on ESPN.

[Lunchbox]

That's gone.

[Sizzin]

Just thought of that.

[Lunchbox]

I mean, it is going to be a rough weekend for a lot of people. With YouTube, if you are a college football fan, you get none of it.

[Sizzin]

And baser goes, well, hey, we'll be at the bars on Saturday, so no worries. We'll have it covered. And I go, the bars won't have it either.

[Lunchbox]

Why? The bar doesn't have YouTube TV.

[Sizzin]

Oh, so it's not just in. In general, ABC disappeared off the planet.

[Lunchbox]

No, no, idiot. ABC and ESPN didn't just fold up shop and go home. They didn't just say, oh, no one in the world is going to be able to watch ESPN or abc. What would be the point of that? How would that work? They would have all these football games airing just outer space. The aliens from above are saying, oh, man, get us on that Texas Vandy game, please. No, it's just that they wanted YouTube TV to pay a little bit more for ABC and ESPN, and YouTube TV said, no, that's too expensive. You're holding us hostage. We're not going to pay that. ESPN said, all right, Our contract runs. It ends at midnight. We are going to take it from you. All your customers are going to be left without these channels. And YouTube TVs like, no, you're not. You won't do that. And boom. Smash cut. Guess what ESPN did. Pulled those channels from YouTube TV.

[Sizzin]

They pulled the plug.

[Lunchbox]

They pulled the plug.

[Sizzin]

What if we threaten the podcast? We pull the plug.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. Oh, man. It's gonna start being a little bit more expensive to listen to this pod. Do you think people would pay a penny per episode?

[Sizzin]

No. But our 40 listeners, they would wake up just like we woke up with espn. The plug got pulled.

[Lunchbox]

I mean, how crazy. I'm not pulled. I. I still have espn, abc. So if you need to come over. Because I have this thing called cable.

[Sizzin]

Sheesh.

[Lunchbox]

Yes, I understand. I live in the archaic days. Batter's box lets me know how stupid and how old and how ridiculous it is that I still play for cable. But the fact is, this cable that I pay for still has ABC and espn.

[Sizzin]

So here's the thing. Can you get ABC for the Vols game on Hulu and Bazer? Because we have Hulu. Oh, she said, no, you have to have Hulu Live.

[Lunchbox]

That's a good point. You do have to have Hulu Live.

[Sizzin]

I go, we don't have Hulu Live. She goes, no, we have Hulu.

[Lunchbox]

So when did it get cut? Did it get cut last night?

[Sizzin]

I was watching it Yesterday. I watched PTI and SportsCenter.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, so last night you got to watch UTSA dominate Tulane or was it cut off by them?

[Sizzin]

Hold on. I watched it at her parents house. Who have cable.

[Lunchbox]

That's how you know.

[Sizzin]

So I don't know. I don't even know if ESPN was available yesterday.

[Lunchbox]

So there you go. That's the big news. Heading into the weekend, we both had the same lead. I mean, pretty crazy. I thought about it. I was like, oh, I can't wait to call batter's box and be like, hey, how's that YouTube TV treating you, man? You loving that. I'll turn on the gamer. Oh, you. Sorry. Let me give you an update. This is what's going on in the game.

[Sizzin]

Just so I don't sound so stupid. There's got to be some bars that have YouTube TV. If there is a bar that has YouTube TV, they're going to play no college football on Saturday.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, they're screwed.

[Sizzin]

So they're freaking out.

[Lunchbox]

I would assume most of them have like dish or tin roof. I don't know.

[Sizzin]

They probably have cable because they're older. John Daly's. I would imagine they have YouTube TV because it's new or why would you open a new bar and go back to an archaic service provider? Hey, I'm going to go with dial up.

[Lunchbox]

I'm not sure how the bars work, but I do know that John Dailies is where our open bar happy hour will be. Coaches convention. That's where we're going to be having the happy hour. That Friday night check in is going to be right there at John Daly is going to have the table set up. That's where people are going to come and check in, get their, you know, badges and everything. Then that night at John Daly's, that's where the open bar will be held.

[Sizzin]

Not to do false advertising. You know what John Dailies does have? What I told. I was told from a kitty kid down the street in this building. The local guy.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Sizzin]

That they have bottle service girls and they start working at 10am he said he walked by John Daly's and there was girls out there clad and they were trying to sell bottle service at 10:30am on a Saturday.

[Lunchbox]

Smart. Got to get them early.

[Sizzin]

I mean, hey, if you're going to try and one up the next bar, why not have the girls out dancing it?

[Lunchbox]

Hey, if you're not going to start bottle service at 10:00am, if you don't start at 10:00am you can't do it all day. It's going to be amazing.

[Sizzin]

Don't drink in the morning. You can't drink all day.

[Lunchbox]

That's right. But if you're, if you're going to come to Coach's convention, just put that down on your, drop your pin at John Daly's because that's where Friday night is going down.

[Sizzin]

That's a good get.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Sizzin]

And maybe people get a little liquored up, end up wandering over to Music Row and they can go see history.

[Lunchbox]

They could, they could go see the recording studio, they could see the old sore losers podcast room. But yeah, for the most part, there's nothing there anymore.

[Sizzin]

I got a fan encounter.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, tell me after the break. Oh, you want to go to break? We'll go to break. We'll be right back.

[Lego Star Wars Advertiser]

When you say Lego Star wars, the first thing you think of is imagination or action.

[Lunchbox]

Or both.

[Lego Star Wars Advertiser]

Definitely both. Like with Jango Fett's Starship. I mean with stud blasters, seismic charges and three minifigures, your kid is gonna be creating stories until the Banthas come home. And for yourself, there's the Jango Firespray class Starship Lego set from the Ultimate Collector series. Enjoy some Jedi Master level mindfulness during your building time. Shop now for Star wars lego sets on lego.com or in lego retail stores.

[Lunchbox]

I turned off news altogether. I hate to say it, but I don't trust much of anything.

[Lego Star Wars Advertiser]

It's the rage bait.

[Lunchbox]

If you feels like it's trying to divide people, we got clear facts. Maybe we can calm down a little.

[NBC News Announcer]

NBC News brings you clear reporting. Let's meet at the facts. Let's move forward from there. NBC News reporting for America.

[Sizzin]

So in the country. I told you the one dude came to our house with the Christmas lights. You made fun of me for having somebody else do it. I have vaulted ceilings. I'm not trying to. I like to drink.

[Lunchbox]

You already have Christmas lights up.

[Sizzin]

I think they're Coming.

[Lunchbox]

Okay.

[Sizzin]

The next couple of days.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, my gosh.

[Sizzin]

We have the Christmas tree up.

[Lunchbox]

That's so stupid.

[Sizzin]

It's my wife, dude. She loves Christmas.

[Lunchbox]

No, no. But Halloween hasn't even happened yet. Like, you haven't even handed out trick or treating candy. Hey, there's.

[Sizzin]

There's two things that don't go together. And it's drinking and ladders. Therefore, I ain't putting the Christmas lights up.

[Lunchbox]

Do you guys hand out candy? Yeah. I mean. Cause it is spooky season. I already have a plan.

[Sizzin]

I'm doing a TV. I'm wheeling out one of our TVs into the garage, putting the garage up. World Series is going to be blasting. I'm going to be dressed up. I'm either going to do a pedophile. But that's not funny. No, I would be dressed up as a.

[Lunchbox]

No, no, don't say no. That's all. You have the pee on your mouth. I can see you starting to develop the p. You don't want to say, I'm going to dress up as a pedophile. Like, that is not the one costume you can't be. No, that's the one costume you 100% cannot be.

[Sizzin]

I'm going to dress up as a porn star.

[Lunchbox]

Maybe the second one you can be when kids are coming around.

[Sizzin]

Baseball player.

[Lunchbox]

There you go. If you're going to an adult party, fine. Be a porn star. That's fine. But I don't think kids come into your door. I mean, it's better than being a pedophile.

[Sizzin]

Oh, my gosh.

[Lunchbox]

Dude. Oh, my God.

[Sizzin]

The dad goes, hey, what are you dressed up as?

[Lunchbox]

Pedophile.

[Sizzin]

Pedo.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, my gosh.

[Sizzin]

I put up a sign in the neighborhood.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. Registered.

[Sizzin]

Registered sex offender. Is that not funny for trick or treating?

[Lunchbox]

No.

[Sizzin]

Just because kids are coming over.

[Lunchbox]

I get it was an adult trick or treat.

[Sizzin]

That would be hilarious.

[Lunchbox]

Like, if it was an adult trick or treat. Adult party. Adults coming over to your house.

[Sizzin]

That's funny.

[Lunchbox]

And you put that sign up. Sorry, my light has to be off because I've been convicted. That's funny. But when kids are coming. Not funny. Because as a parent. Not funny. I see that. Not laughing. But I will say one thing I hate is Trunk or Treats. Right? I hate Trunk or Treats.

[Sizzin]

They do them up north.

[Lunchbox]

They're the stupidest things in the world. I get it. If you live in a neighborhood that is unsafe, it was a. It's a great idea for Trunk or Treat. Now we have blown this out of proportion and we have Trunk or treats. At every business, every school, every church, every neighbor, everybody has a trunk or treat.

[Sizzin]

Well, watch out. You know what Halloween means? Means office Christmas or office Halloween party. It gives every person in the office the permission to wear a skirt, which.

[Lunchbox]

I'm not a. I'm not mad about. I'm okay with that.

[Sizzin]

Well, I'm just saying.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, but we went to trunk or treat last night at the kids school.

[Sizzin]

You didn't even let me finish my thing with the fan interaction.

[Lunchbox]

I know, I'm just. You started talking about dressing up as Halloween Go. And I got to say, I saw the coolest costume.

[Sizzin]

Yes, I'm doing trick or treating. Yes, I'll be in the garage. Haven't decided on my costume yet.

[Lunchbox]

Thank God you haven't started. Decided with the pedophile. That was a bad idea. But I saw the coolest costume last night. And I don't know why kids love this so much, but it must be a kid thing. But there was a kid dressed as a cyber truck, and he had made it out of cardboard. He had the lights on the. You know, and my kids, every time we see a cybertruck freak out. They think it's the coolest thing ever. And I saw this kid walking around as a cybertruck and I said, that's a cool costume that wins.

[Sizzin]

That's a good dad.

[Lunchbox]

Yes, that's a good dad. That built that out of cardboard, taped it together. And I don't know how they got the lights to work, if they got a little battery pack in there, obviously, but it was pretty cool. Saw a cybertruck saw. So far, that is the costume of the year for 2025.

[Sizzin]

What about Starlink?

[Lunchbox]

Who's that?

[Sizzin]

It's the Internet service for people after their Internet. And if there's a humanitarian aid needed, then Starlink, where we beam the Internet off the moon.

[Lunchbox]

I don't know what that is.

[Sizzin]

It's the new thing. It's like, do you have starlink?

[Lunchbox]

Who dresses up as Starlink?

[Sizzin]

That's what I'm saying. It's like a next level thinking costume. So if you're stranded in the Appalachians, you would. Starlink would connect you.

[Lunchbox]

Nobody would know what that is. You look like a tile from the ceiling of an office building.

[Sizzin]

Nobody would have known what cybertruck was.

[Lunchbox]

No, you. Do you know what a cybertruck is? You see those driving around a year.

[Sizzin]

Ago, two years ago, you see them.

[Lunchbox]

Driving around on the road. You know what a cybertruck is? Nobody knows what Starlink looks like. Oh, that's like putting a white card white box on me. What are you, a modem? What?

[Sizzin]

Stupid, but does it. What's dumb? Oh, I'm dressed as a car. No, it's cool because it's the new version of a car.

[Lunchbox]

Cybertruck, because it's very distinct.

[Sizzin]

What's the new version of a modem? Starlink.

[Lunchbox]

Whatever you want to be, man. Dress up as Starlink. Dude, I never heard of it. I'm. My name is Bennett. I'm not in it. I don't know. Yeah, Bennett.

[Sizzin]

So we had the Christmas lights guy come over. Am I back on my story?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, you're back on your story. I just wanted to tell you, you started talking about dressing up as Halloween, and it made me think of the cybertruck last night, how cool it was, and I thought it was the costume of the year.

[Sizzin]

And this may be a country thing, because that guy goes, hey, you look familiar. And baser thought he was talking to her, and she was, oh, I'm from here. We know. Our whole family is from here. Everybody knows. Knows either a cousin or somebody that I'm related to. And he goes, no, him. He knew me from the podcast. Big fan, right?

[Lunchbox]

Your wife thought she was famous, and you were like, no, you're not. Step aside, honey.

[Sizzin]

So I'm walking into the Mexican place. We got Mexican to go.

[Lunchbox]

Got it.

[Sizzin]

Mexican.

[Lunchbox]

So you got a quesadilla.

[Sizzin]

Of course I did.

[Lunchbox]

Of course you did. Quesadilla.

[Sizzin]

And I may have found the best case of D in Nashville. Not naming the place. I don't need people there. And so I walk. As I'm walking in the door, I get, hey, you look familiar. Turn around. None other than a good old truck driver.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, Colby White.

[Sizzin]

He had a beard. He had big old kicking boots. He had a country grin. Hey, you look familiar. Big fan of the potty.

[Lunchbox]

What was his name?

[Sizzin]

I didn't ask it, man. What? Didn't ask it? It was in the entrance of the door. It was kind of an awkward exchange, but. Shake hands, pat on the shoulder.

[Lunchbox]

He patted you on the shoulder?

[Sizzin]

Like, hit it.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, yeah.

[Sizzin]

What's up, dude? How's it going, man? It was so brief and quick. It wasn't the most opportune place to come in to contact with a fan because it's like you had. You're coming and going, entering and exiting.

[Lunchbox]

He was entering.

[Sizzin]

You were exiting, or he was exiting hard and I was entering hard. So there's no going back from that.

[Lunchbox]

So why didn't you exit hard with him? Take a step out on the sidewalk.

[Sizzin]

And it's not that kind of place. Once you enter, you're in. And so I caught him in between doors, gave a little shoulder pat Bazer goes, I saw that guy grab you in the entrance. Had a brief interaction. Huge fan of the potty. You look familiar.

[Lunchbox]

Great. Hey, great shout out. Hey, you look familiar. So the guy that told Ray you look familiar. It was nice meeting you, man.

[Sizzin]

The trucker in Springfield.

[Lunchbox]

Thanks for being a fan of the pot.

[Sizzin]

He'll know exactly who I'm talking about.

[Lunchbox]

Now are you talking like semi truck or like a pickup truck?

[Sizzin]

I would imagine he it's a semi but he definitely drives a truck. A big old country boy truck. Now you're not wearing boots and driving a BMW.

[Lunchbox]

It's a good point.

[Sizzin]

You're not wearing boots and driving Lexus.

[Lunchbox]

It's a good point.

[Sizzin]

So it's a duly. It's a ranch truck, it's a semi. It's a massive truck. He was driving.

[Lunchbox]

And did he get Mexican too?

[Sizzin]

He had to have. So he knows about the spot.

[Lunchbox]

So was he getting it to go or was. Did he eat there? Did he have a bag in his hand?

[Sizzin]

He ate there. So he must have rocked it with his family. They had already gotten to the car or something. He might have been in the bathroom taking a from the Mexican.

[Lunchbox]

Good point.

[Sizzin]

So he was lingering and then think.

[Lunchbox]

He was a margarita Deep doesn't sell them. What?

[Sizzin]

It's not one of those.

[Lunchbox]

It's like it's a Mexican restaurant but it doesn't sell those.

[Sizzin]

Well, I'm not going to blow up me in this trucker spot.

[Lunchbox]

Okay, got it. I know, I don't want. I didn't say tell me the name.

[Sizzin]

Of this place but it's a fast food Mexican place.

[Lunchbox]

Thank you.

[Sizzin]

Well now you just blew up the spot.

[Lunchbox]

No, I didn't. I still don't know what it is. I still have no idea. I don't know. I mean I just was very confused on how a Mexican food restaurant doesn't sell margaritas. But now you say it's fast food, it makes more sense. Thank you for clarifying. I needed that.

[Sizzin]

You look familiar. It's a new way of good old country boy way of saying hey, big fan. So to that guy. Hey, you look familiar. Right back there, cowboy. Good seeing you. Good talking you man. Hope the Mexican was real good.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, we we that trunk or treat last night, let me tell you, I saw some people I recognize. Hey, how you doing man? How you doing? You look familiar. You look familiar. Yeah, well, right before we left for Trunk or Treat, Baby box two is gonna be Steve from Minecraft for Halloween.

[Sizzin]

You ain't got a trunk, you got a bike.

[Lunchbox]

No, no, we're not. We're not decorating our car. We weren't. We were just showing up and we were walking the parking lot and doing it.

[Sizzin]

I thought everybody had to bring a trunk.

[Lunchbox]

No, no, no, that would get too crowded. This was a little spread out. There wasn't that many cars. It was perfect. A lot of kids running around. But anyway, baby box two, right before we leave, he's like, actually, no one's going to know who I am. I don't want to be Steve from Minecraft.

[Sizzin]

The old 180. At the last second, I'm like, what? Here, put on a towel, be a ghost.

[Lunchbox]

I'm like, we literally bought this like two days ago because this is what you've wanted to be. He's like, yeah, I don't want to. And he starts crying. I'm like, what are we doing? No one's going to know who it is. No one does Minecraft. I said, there's a Minecraft movie. That means tons of people watch Minecraft.

[Sizzin]

Point.

[Lunchbox]

He's like, they're not going to know who I am. So he looked like one of those teenagers that are too cool for school to dress up for Halloween and they still want candy.

[Sizzin]

Last second costume. Be a streaker.

[Lunchbox]

He went in the costume box and found some ladybug wings and stuck them on with his regular clothes. He's I'm a ladybug. He looked like a bad attitude teenager walking around there getting candy. He was the least dressed up kid in the entire place.

[Sizzin]

But he still has the opportunity to do the costume tonight.

[Lunchbox]

Correct. And then baby box one, he wanted to be a dog for Halloween. So we're thinking dog, dog, dog. And then we're at the costume store and he buys a Power Ranger outfit. And so he's a Power Ranger. And then three minutes in last night, he's like, dad, this mask, I don't like the mask. Well, what's the point of being a Power Ranger if you're not going to have the mask on, dude?

[Sizzin]

Because then, yeah, you really don't look like it.

[Lunchbox]

You just have the co. You just have a red outfit and then your face like, you don't look like a Power Ranger. So let's just say trunk or treat was not the smoothest of operations. It was not the most fun thing. Like I said, they're annoying. It Takes away from Halloween. But Halloween tonight, I can't freaking wait.

[Sizzin]

What was your wife dressed as?

[Lunchbox]

My wife.

[Sizzin]

Oh, a homemaker.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Sizzin]

What were you dressed as?

[Lunchbox]

Poop.

[Sizzin]

You do have that costume. You also have the penguin.

[Lunchbox]

Boom. And last night, trying to cheer baby box two up because he was so upset about. No one's going to know who Steve was. He's crying. I said, hey, bud, why don't you come pick out my costume? And we had all the adult costumes hanging up in the closet.

[Sizzin]

Whoa.

[Lunchbox]

And he picked poop.

[Sizzin]

Kinky.

[Lunchbox]

No, nothing to do with Kiki. Just the Halloween.

[Sizzin]

You said adult costumes.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, from. Oh, man. Oh man, oh man. Yeah. All right. And so. Yeah, that was that. But today, Today's the day. Yes. And I mean we. If we could ever have good weather on Halloween, it would be amazing.

[Sizzin]

I think bays are spent $100 in candy.

[Lunchbox]

Whoa.

[Sizzin]

She got four jumbo bags of candy.

[Lunchbox]

That's incredible.

[Sizzin]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

We bought one small bag to leave in a bowl on our front porch because we ain't going to be there. We're going to be out doing the trick or treating.

[Sizzin]

Ours is big. We got tipped off from some of our neighbors, I guess. Hundreds of kids.

[Lunchbox]

I would never go to your house if I was a kid.

[Sizzin]

I'm going to light it up though.

[Lunchbox]

No, no. I would never go to your house if I was a kid. Trick or treating.

[Sizzin]

No, I'm not doing the pedophile costume.

[Lunchbox]

No, no. It's because your driveway is one mile long.

[Sizzin]

I'm going to light it up. I'm going to put light so that it looks more inviting.

[Lunchbox]

No, no. The fact it would take too much time. I could hit three more houses by the time I can finish your house. Like it's all about opportunity and time management when you're trick or treating as a kid and when you have a mile long driveway, you skip that house and you go to the next one.

[Sizzin]

But also the parents are nosy. They probably want to get a little.

[Lunchbox]

Peaksy and that's true.

[Sizzin]

Should I sit at the end of the driveway? Next the mailbox and. And bring in the iPad to watch the World Series.

[Lunchbox]

That's a little bit better.

[Sizzin]

Creepier.

[Lunchbox]

No, not creepier. It. It's better time. More time efficient for the kids.

[Sizzin]

Hello, kids.

[Lunchbox]

Because talking to creepy voices. Don't do that. Don't do that. Don't do that.

[Sizzin]

Come over here and have some of my candy.

[Lunchbox]

You want to know what toolbox is going to be tonight?

[Sizzin]

The stuff he has already sitting around. A carpenter.

[Lunchbox]

Good guess.

[Sizzin]

He's got hammers and screwdrivers and painters clothes and painter buckets.

[Lunchbox]

Good guess. He's going to be half man, half woman.

[Sizzin]

Shouldn't be hard.

[Lunchbox]

So he's going to shave half his mustache, half his beard. He's going to put an earring on one side. I mean, half man, half woman.

[Sizzin]

The earring, that ain't going to necessarily mean woman.

[Lunchbox]

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

[Lego Star Wars Advertiser]

When you say Lego Star wars, the first thing you think of is imagination or action.

[Sizzin]

Or both.

[Lego Star Wars Advertiser]

Definitely both. Like with Jango Fett's Starship. I mean, with stud blasters, seismic charges, and three minifigures, your kid is gonna be creating stories until the Banthas come home. And for yourself, there's the Jango Fett's Firespray class Starship LEGO set from the Ultimate Collector series. Enjoy some Jedi Master level mindfulness during your building time. Shop now for Star wars lego sets on lego.com or in lego retail stores.

[Lunchbox]

I turned off news altogether. I hate to say it, but I don't trust much of anything.

[Lego Star Wars Advertiser]

It's the rage bait.

[Lunchbox]

It feels like it's trying to divide people. If we got clear facts, maybe we could calm down a little.

[NBC News Announcer]

NBC News brings you clear reporting. Meet at the Facts. Let's move forward from there. NBC News reporting for America.

[Sizzin]

What's he doing for the boobs?

[Lunchbox]

I. I don't know. Don't ask me. What about the bottom part? Oh, he chopped half off.

[Sizzin]

Half man and half woman. Yeah, that might beat pedophile.

[Lunchbox]

No, no, no. Pedophile is the worst. Pedophile's the worst. There's nothing that beats that. Right?

[Sizzin]

But also, don't you kind of dress as something you enjoy? Why would your dad enjoy being a half woman? Like, never would I think I want to dress as a woman for Ellen. He did half, so he's half. Okay. But the other half of his brain wanted to be a woman. Interesting.

[Lunchbox]

It's called a costume, dude. You said you wanted to be a pedophile, so what does your brain say?

[Sizzin]

True. So that probably isn't gonna work with my argument on that. But the thing is, if you got a chick to dress like a prostitute. Let's be real. Back in the. In her head, she probably kind of wants to.

[Lunchbox]

That's good, though.

[Sizzin]

You know what I mean?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Sizzin]

It's like, you know, you got the girl, oh, I'm dressed up as vampire. Well, let's be real. She likes to get bitten.

[Lunchbox]

You know, I don't think that's how it works.

[Sizzin]

I imagine it's kind of like your alter ego. It's like the person you can't show.

[Lunchbox]

The rest of the world, I guess. I mean. No, no, no. It does. Like, if you go out back in the younger days, when you go to 6th street, it was the girls that wanted to be a little slutty. It gave them an excuse to be slutty. Was Halloween. They were dressed in these skimpy outfits, and it was so amazing. It was so awesome to see these girls let loose.

[Sizzin]

Hey, kids, want to swing down Broadway?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. That's where it's at. That's what's fun. Oh, Broadway is going to be unbelievable tonight. Because Halloween on a Friday, adults get to go buck wild and they get to dress up in their costume. Oh, my God, it's going to be amazing. And who's calling me from Bella Glade, Florida? You want to answer it? Hello? Hello?

[Sizzin]

Yeah, we want our ESPN back.

[Lunchbox]

Hello? Hello?

[Sizzin]

Give us ABC back or we'll riot.

[Lunchbox]

Is this YouTube TV? All right. I don't know where they were.

[Sizzin]

The new scam is not talk.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, call and not answer. That's really cool. But anyway, besides Halloween, we got a big weekend. You know why we got a big weekend? Yeah, Messi's coming to town.

[Sizzin]

Freaking Vandy, Texas.

[Lunchbox]

No, Messi is coming to town.

[Sizzin]

I saw Saturday night. It said, get your glow sticks and get your popcorn. I'm like, guys, how about we just get some goals? Like what?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, how about we get some guys that can mark Messi and stop him from scoring so many freaking goals? But Baby Box has never been more excited about a soccer game.

[Sizzin]

You guys are going?

[Lunchbox]

Yes, we have season tickets.

[Sizzin]

So you then had to pay for the playoff ones or they give you a discount on them.

[Lunchbox]

You still got to pay for them, but they were 35 bucks a ticket.

[Sizzin]

That's good.

[Lunchbox]

Really good.

[Sizzin]

Yeah. That's gonna be crazy.

[Lunchbox]

It's gonna be great. And when Baby Box found out that Messi was coming to Nashville, he was over the moon.

[Sizzin]

Why would they not dress as a soccer player for Halloween? They love soccer. It's such an easy costume. Why would they not want to dress as Messi?

[Lunchbox]

Great question. Like, because baby box. His first reaction when he said, messi's coming to downtown, he goes, dad, I can't wait to boo him.

[Sizzin]

You gotta love it, man. This is natural territory.

[Lunchbox]

He goes, dad, we are going to boo Messi. And this he said, dad, I can't. I'm going to boo Messi so much, and he's going to hate me. He's going to hear me booing him, and he's going to be like, I hate that kid.

[Sizzin]

That's funny.

[Lunchbox]

In his head, he thinks Messi is going to be able to hear him booing and is going to relate it to him and be like, why is that kid booing me?

[Sizzin]

If there's ever a moment where the crowd is completely silent, he should yell. And there is a small chance Messi could hear him.

[Lunchbox]

No, he has a little voice like this. I don't think Messi's gonna hear him.

[Sizzin]

Because at the Titans games, it goes quite a lot.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, and you hear some guys yell.

[Sizzin]

But you can always hear a yell. I would always try to have the funny yells, like, guys got Covid.

[Lunchbox]

That's funny.

[Sizzin]

Stuff like that. And I'd be like, you know.

[Lunchbox]

You know, it's like, squirrel is ass.

[Sizzin]

Yeah, yell that. At the ufc, there are moments where you can get your voice heard. It. You got to be strategic.

[Lunchbox]

And it has to be perfect timing. Let's be honest, at seven years old, I don't think he's going to have that perfect timing.

[Sizzin]

But I love, though, that he has that idea.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, he has that idea. And he's. He's been counting down every day. He's like, dad, three days till we boo Messi. Two days until we boo Messi. He was like, dad, I told all my friends at school that I was going to boo Messi.

[Sizzin]

Miami hit you guys with load management.

[Lunchbox]

Well, now it's the playoffs. There is no load management. They're going to win and move on.

[Sizzin]

Yeah. So with the playoffs, is it round? What? How many games?

[Lunchbox]

It's best out of three.

[Sizzin]

So there would be another game Monday if.

[Lunchbox]

Well, that would be back in Miami. Okay. And they already whooped our butt in Miami last weekend, three to one. So if we lose this game, our season's over.

[Sizzin]

Wait, but there's still another game, though.

[Lunchbox]

No. Oh, if we lose this game, it's over.

[Sizzin]

What about if Miami loses?

[Lunchbox]

Then. Then we go one more game. It'll be tied one to one. It's best out of three.

[Sizzin]

Oh, so we're already.

[Lunchbox]

We're already down one.

[Sizzin]

We are?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. We lost in Miami, dude.

[Sizzin]

Okay, Was that the six nothing?

[Lunchbox]

No, that was a week after the six nothing. We played them again. They beat us three to one.

[Sizzin]

Okay.

[Lunchbox]

And so now we got to come here and win.

[Sizzin]

That's stupid.

[Lunchbox]

What do you mean it's stupid?

[Sizzin]

I mean, I guess they do that in baseball and basketball, just not. Football is the one and done.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. Football in the NCAA tournament are one and done.

[Sizzin]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

This is best out of three. And last year, Miami dominated the regular season and they lost in the first round of the playoffs.

[Sizzin]

They.

[Lunchbox]

This year they kind of coasted in the regular season. Now they're going to dominate the playoffs and they're going to win the MLS Cup. But we are going to Messi. We are going to boo Messi. And I can't freaking wait.

[Sizzin]

That is going to be pretty crazy because we got. Titans haven't been good in about three years. Preds have kind of sucked ever since the Stanley Cup. So that's actually a big sports moment for Nashville. Yes, but you said they're not good.

[Lunchbox]

But they're not going to win. That's the problem. We started out the season good and now we're. We fell all the way to sixth place. The one team we didn't want to play in the first round, Miami. Who do we play the first round? Miami. So we're going to get eliminated, but we're going to get to boo Messi.

[Sizzin]

They were the best and we were the worst.

[Lunchbox]

No, they were. They're the three seed, we're the six seed.

[Sizzin]

Okay.

[Lunchbox]

But they're still the best.

[Sizzin]

And I do got to say Nashville, sc, we're not. We have been maybe partnered with them in the past.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, we are partnered with them.

[Sizzin]

Fully partnered.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, we're fully partnered.

[Sizzin]

I've got to say, marketing team, they're doing a good job because the billboards, whenever I drive in and out commute always says, if we won or lost.

[Lunchbox]

See, it'll say get them next game.

[Sizzin]

Actually, it doesn't say if we lose it. What if we win, it goes Nashville win. And it shows like a highlight from the game.

[Lunchbox]

That's pretty good. Yeah. But then here's the problem. I looked at the radar this morning. Tomorrow, 75% chance of rain.

[Sizzin]

It's probably the remnants of that hurricane.

[Lunchbox]

Right. But am I going to go sit in the rain so my son can boom, Essie. Like, what do I do? How do I handle this?

[Sizzin]

We would go as a family and sit through rain outs at Coors Field for an entire weekend. What do you mean? How are you going to handle it? We would be in ponchos for 72 hours to watch three games. You gotta love the sport.

[Lunchbox]

No, no, I love the sport.

[Sizzin]

My dad would never do if a game was getting rained late. He would never leave it. So we would say sometimes eight hours in trash bags underneath the bleachers waiting for the Rockies to resume the game. My dad would never leave a game.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, but the problem is, to borrow, the high is 58.

[Sizzin]

My dad. You go to Six Flags and you get a pat. When you go to Six Flags, you can actually leave and come back.

[Lunchbox]

Really?

[Sizzin]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

Didn't know that we went.

[Sizzin]

We'd go in the morning. My dad be like, hey, guys, make sure you get a stamp in case you want to come back. We're all, like, sick and not feeling good. We've been going on rides for, like, eight hours. Like, what do you mean, he goes all day?

[Lunchbox]

Pass.

[Sizzin]

Why wouldn't you guys come back tonight and do it again? Dad, we're a little roller coaster out.

[Lunchbox]

That's kind of smart, though. I like your dad. Like, the. The strategy, I think, is you go early in the morning when you have younger kids, when you're, like, a teenager, you just go all day, no matter what. But you get there right when it opens, go for, like, four hours, five hours, leave, go take a nap, and then come back for the last five hours of the day. That is a strategy that can work. I don't know. I've never done it. If we go to a park, we are there all day. Dollywood. We get there, boom, and we don't leave till it closes.

[Sizzin]

Dollywood's pretty dope because not a lot.

[Lunchbox]

Of lines in and out, let me tell you. Dollywood is such a hidden gem. I thought when people told me about Dollywood when we moved here, I was like, this little rinky dink town. There's no way there's gonna be a nice amusement park. It has to be run down in a piece of crap. I was absolutely wrong. It's beautiful. It's got a lot of shade, and it's got some dope rides, some dope roller coasters.

[Sizzin]

Little hilly.

[Lunchbox]

Little hilly when you're pushing a stroller.

[Sizzin]

Oh, that would be even worse. Also, I heard I definitely didn't do this, but you can get VIP and you park right next to the entrance. I'm talking 10ft away from where you get your ticket checked. I didn't do it. A friend of mine did.

[Lunchbox]

Oh. All Right. Well, we'll take a break. We'll be right back.

I turned off news altogether. I hate to say it, but I don't trust much of anything.

[Lego Star Wars Advertiser]

It's the rage bait.

[Lunchbox]

It feels like it's trying to divide people. We got clear facts. Maybe we could calm down a little.

[NBC News Announcer]

NBC News brings you clear reporting. Let's meet at the Facts. Let's move forward from there. NBC News reporting for America.

[Sizzin]

It was me. I actually, we did it.

[Lunchbox]

We. We knew Schumann. You didn't, you didn't have to tell us. Like, we, we knew. Hey, we know you're rich. Rich.

[Sizzin]

It was like $10 more. I was like, Bazer, of all the things you've ever done for me. This was beautiful. At the end of a long roller coaster day to walk right to your vehicle, not take a tram, not have to go up and down and around you. Our car was parked so close, dude. Basically, the guy checking tickets was like, leaned up against it. I was like, can you move back? I got to get to my car.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, I mean, the tram takes you right to your car too, man.

[Sizzin]

I'm not getting on the trolley with Marco. Who's had seven pork missiles and a bucket of popcorn next to me? Like, I'm not doing that.

[Lunchbox]

Okay.

[Sizzin]

I want to get in my car and get home.

[Lunchbox]

I understand that. I understand that thought. Hey, you guys like this roller coaster ride?

[Sizzin]

I ate my weight and hot dogs. Cool, man. What are you doing Monday? I would suggest getting your stomach pumped. You look like.

[Lunchbox]

And you got the people on the trolley with, like, six stuffed animals they've won from the game that they had to carry around all day. I mean, you want to look like. Talk about miserable is having to carry that crap all day around that park.

[Sizzin]

And throw in rednecks and no air conditioning on that trolley. No, thank you. I'll pay $10 for VIP. Like, please.

[Lunchbox]

Speaking of rednecks, man, my neighbor. You know, I don't understand why people feel like they. It's like an uncomfortable situation where they feel like they had to invite you to something.

[Sizzin]

Yep.

[Lunchbox]

So ran into the neighbors, and it was two different families one time. And we're kind of. We're friends with the one family. The other family we just kind of talk to, and they always have a Halloween. Like, they have people over on Halloween. Adult, I guess. Adult and kids, I don't know.

[Sizzin]

And I mean, big difference. But continue.

[Lunchbox]

Well, we. Well, it was the adult we were talking to.

[Sizzin]

Right. But usually if it's an adult party, there's some booze.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, there's booze. No matter. Even if it's a kid's birthday party. Right.

[Sizzin]

But if it's an adult Halloween party, there's more booze than. Boy, there's a big difference.

[Lunchbox]

Understand? Touche. So anyway, they're, like, talking wife dressed up as those two families are closer, and they're talking, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Oh, yeah, I can't wait for your party. It's gonna be so fun. Are you doing this this year? Are you gonna have the punch bowl? Blah, blah, blah. And the family that's having the party looks at my wife and awkwardly was like, oh, we know you usually have people over at your house on Halloween, but if you're go. If your people leave early and you want to come over, feel free to come over. We've never had people over on Halloween. Never in our life have we had a party on Halloween. So this lady is trying to make like it. Make it feel comfortable for us to kind of get the sympathy invite. So we're not really invited, but it's like, hey, if your people leave and my wife hits her with, we don't have people over on Halloween?

[Sizzin]

Why would she say that?

[Lunchbox]

Who, my wife?

[Sizzin]

No, the original lady. I don't know. You're like, we've never thrown a Halloween party. Such a random comment. Maybe she had a memory problem.

[Lunchbox]

I think. Well, it's either she's uncomfortable, like, oh, man, I've never invited them to my party. And she just went with the, oh, I know you guys have people over. So she's hoping that we had people over. And that's, you know, so she doesn't feel as bad about never inviting us to her party. Or it was just a crutch of, man, if I throw this out there, maybe they do have people over and they won't come to my party. I don't know what it was, but it was so awkward. And for my wife to go, oh, we never have people over on Halloween. I'm like.

[Sizzin]

You couldn't pay me to be part of that awkward conversation.

[Lunchbox]

So now it is. Do we stop by that party after we go trick or treating?

[Sizzin]

That's in media. You guys wouldn't know. It's called wild lines. When they have you read something that they need post, you know, to add into a TV show or something. It's called a wild line. That lady throwing out. You guys always have people over for Halloween. That was a wild line.

[Lunchbox]

I mean, it was so wild. It was so uncomfortable. It was so awkward.

[Sizzin]

We don't have people over for Halloween. Interesting recollection of events.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, I mean, I know you live like, four houses down and you peek down there and you see a lot of people in our front yard. Those are called trick or treaters. They're not people at our house to party. So thanks. I know you don't really like us, so no need to give us a sympathy invite to your stupid Halloween party.

[Sizzin]

But maybe it is going to be fun.

[Lunchbox]

No, it might be. They said they were going to have a tarot card reader.

[Sizzin]

Well, that sounds rich. Rich. Anytime you bring in a tarot card reader, masseuse, somebody who makes jewelry, any of those type of things, that's a rich, rich party.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, well, the tarot card readers, her mom.

[Sizzin]

Oh, looks like you've got a lot of sex in your future.

[Lunchbox]

What the. And that's what I. I go, wow, you're gonna have a tarot card reader? She goes, well, it's my mom. She likes to do it. I was like, okay, the way you sold it is like you have a professional tarot card reader.

[Sizzin]

Yeah, like the people that do hibachi.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Sizzin]

Rich, rich. Oh, you're going to Hibachi? No, they're going to be in our backyard. What the.

[Lunchbox]

Dude, Hibachi is so cool.

[Sizzin]

My buddy at the car dealership, he had people. And actually, it is affordable. I think Everybody just does $100. But you have an actual hibachi person in your backyard with the sake. Stop with the onion ring tower throwing shrimp all over your backyard. $100 a couple.

[Lunchbox]

Okay, I'm gonna look into that. Yeah, that's pretty cool. That's.

[Sizzin]

Maybe we will throw a Halloween party.

[Lunchbox]

That's the kind of party I want to go to, see. Yeah. Yeah.

[Sizzin]

We always have hibachi in the backyard. Glad you remember. Have played along with it and just made up some wild thing. Yeah. Last year we had a guy breathing fire, and the year before that, a dragon and a. An alive tiger. Like, what the. You just make up crap. You're right. You're right. Every year we're doing crazy stuff.

[Lunchbox]

The lady that cut herself in half three years ago. What the. Oh, man. All right, before we go, you wanted to give some money makers, man, that's just great.

[Sizzin]

I. The TV is not even going to be on. There's no sports on with ABC and ESPN gone.

[Lunchbox]

So you have Fox and cbs. You can watch football. You can watch NFL football.

[Sizzin]

Better be given somebody a World Series lock.

[Lunchbox]

No, I. No. Let me tell you, this is amazing. If the Blue Jays can pull this off.

[Sizzin]

They have to, or baseball's done.

[Lunchbox]

It is going to be the most amazing thing ever if they pull this off.

[Sizzin]

If they don't, you can buy wins. And there needs to be a salary cap. And Dodgers are going to get the next big thing over in Japan and bring him right on over to the Dodgers.

[Lunchbox]

Not just Japan. They'll get them over in the U.S. i mean, they got Blake Snell. They went and got Mookie Bets. They. I mean, Kershaw, Moto.

[Sizzin]

They got Tawny. Let's go.

[Lunchbox]

They got Atlanta.

[Sizzin]

You like Freddie Freeman? Cool. We'll cherry pick him.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, we'll take him. Okay, cool. But you know what they forgot to do?

[Sizzin]

Yeah. They're going to have skins next year. They're going to have school. That's.

[Lunchbox]

That's what I'm worried about. But you know what they need to. They worried about? They forgot is that you had to have a bullpen, because those guys, if they get knocked out of the game, you got to have someone to pitch after them. Their bullpen is trash. And the bottom of their lineup is trash. Bro House and Pogges.

[Sizzin]

Thank you guys for Beat the Streak.

[Lunchbox]

What in the world? Like who are these guys?

[Sizzin]

Justin, every night, weeknight. Hey, pick Pogges tonight. I think he's the guy to get a hit. Wake up. He goes over five.

[Lunchbox]

Pog is. I mean, come on.

[Sizzin]

Justin's thing was you can't pick the Freeman's and the bets because everybody picks them. So then you want to root against those guys and pick the guy that nobody picks to get a hit.

[Lunchbox]

That's a good point.

[Sizzin]

That was his.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. How did it work out for him?

[Sizzin]

He ended biggest streak was 14.

[Lunchbox]

Not bad.

[Sizzin]

16.

[Lunchbox]

Okay. And that's impressive. I've never gotten over five, so I have no idea how to do it. And I gave up after like a week. But anyway, yeah, please, Blue Jays. I mean just please, for the love of baseball in America and everything that is right in this world, please win tonight. Oh, I don't know. Game 7 would be pretty awesome because I'm not gonna be able to watch night because I'm be trick or treating. But anyway, we're gonna go to Sunday. We're gonna go to Sunday and I'm gonna tell you what guys, you can get mad at me for picking favorites, but there's a team that never covers the spread. Never. I think they've covered the spread like once in the last 26 years. And that's when they beat the Arizona Cardinals and it knocked me out of the eliminator. But there is a dumpster fire one mile from our podcast studio and they are the Tennessee Titans and the sand Los Angeles Chargers with Justin Herbert and Vidal are going to come to Music City.

[Sizzin]

Did you just name a backup running back?

[Lunchbox]

I did. Ed Haskins. They're going to come to Music City. And Cam Ward is in his small little dainty hands. He's going to drop the ball again randomly. Randomly.

[Sizzin]

Fumble, fumble, fumble.

[Lunchbox]

I mean, I don't know how they're going to stay with the Los Angeles Chargers. The Chargers are going to run it down their throat and next thing you know it's going to be the third quarter and it's going to be 28 to 6, two field goals for the Titans. You're going to take the Los Angeles Chargers -9 and a half and take it to the bank. And then another one, guys. Oh my gosh. We're going to go out to Los Angeles. We're going to go to Los Angeles. And the Los Angeles Rams coming off a bye. Puka Nuku is going to be back. Puka Devonte Adams, Kyron Williams. And they're getting a rookie quarterback, Tyler Coleslaw starting his first game ever. And not only is he starting his first game over the Saints.

[Sizzin]

Slaw kid.

[Lunchbox]

Yes, Coleslaw is starting his first game.

[Sizzin]

No.

[Lunchbox]

And not only do the Chargers, not the Chargers, the Saints expect him to suck. They telling you they expect him to suck because they don't want you saying oh wait, put Rattler back in. So they're getting ahead of the, the everybody saying, hey, he's going to be our starter the rest of the season. No matter what happens, he's going to start the rest of the season. That is them telling you, hey, this weekend we expect Coleslaw to suck. And don't get mad that we're going to leave him in there. We're going to leave him in there to make mistakes. So you got the terrible Saints going to Los Angeles fresh off a buy that hungry defense of that potent offense and they're only giving up 14 points. Give me the Rams minus 14. Take it to the bank. I got two more for you. And they're gonna be two favorites. Joe Flacco. Flacco flame hurt the AC joint in his throwing shoulder.

[Sizzin]

Yup, confirmed.

[Lunchbox]

He's already 150 years old and his throwing shoulder is compromised. And you're playing the Bears. One hit on that shoulder and you're going back to Jake. Turnover Browning. Give me the Bears minus two and a half. Take it to the bank. One more and this is my favorite play of the weekend. The Seattle Seahawks coming off a buy. Did you see that defense? That defense is unfair, freaking believable and injured. Hobble Jaden Daniels. The commander suck. No, scary Terry. So you're relying on 80 year old Debo Samuel and some other wide receivers and you're going to play the Seattle defense. They're going to eat you alive. Seattle minus 3. Take it to the bank. That's it. That's it. Those are your money makers this weekend. Thank me on Monday when you are rich. Thank me. I can't wait to watch Vandy. Texas man.

[Sizzin]

Well if Vandy does win, it's already written. Pavi is your Heisman. And I told Billy, I said if he is the Heisman it is all on Texas. They are the ones that gave him the Heisman because he's beat like five top 25 teams.

[Lunchbox]

What happens if Texas's backup quarterback comes in and just balls out?

[Sizzin]

Billy said Arch is good.

[Lunchbox]

What? I thought he had concussion.

[Sizzin]

No, Billy said he'll play.

[Lunchbox]

Oh well okay then that takes away my point.

[Sizzin]

And the backup did ball out in overtime. He threw that touchdown no, no, I know.

[Lunchbox]

That's what I'm saying. But what if he comes in and dominates?

[Sizzin]

Or is it like Billy knows the training staff? He said he's good. He's been clear. He was cleared on Tuesday. Allegedly. Oh, they're just not bringing it to the media yet. Okay, well, then allegedly I have heard this. Allegedly. It's been told to me from Billy.

[Lunchbox]

Who is a medical professional.

[Sizzin]

He knows medical professionals.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. All right.

[Sizzin]

And then Justin also said the concussion isn't very serious.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, yeah, he did. He. He returned to practice on Wednesday. Wow. Okay. But I can't wait, man. That's gonna be the good game. Good game of the weekend. Anything else? That's gonna be good. Oh, you.

[Sizzin]

Tennessee, I think you got the biggest cocktail fest. Georgia.

[Lunchbox]

Florida. Yep, that's a cocktail party.

[Sizzin]

Blackout Vols, Saturday night. Gotta find a tv, Mommy. You guys have people over for Halloween?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. Wow, that was very awkward. So, I don't know. Happy Halloween, everybody. Enjoy your candy. Enjoy the trick or treating. Just whatever you do, don't dress up as a pedophile. Please don't. Don't do that, dude. It'll be bad for the pod.

[Sizzin]

I put no thought into that. That would have been funny. If you're going out on Broadway. It that the joke just isn't funny. If you're dressing up for kids to come over. That's the one place that joke doesn't work. Yeah, if you're going to the Dodds, it's hilarious. What are you dressed up as? Pedophile. That's funny. It's Halloween. You're supposed to be funny like that.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, no, no, I get it.

[Sizzin]

Right?

[Lunchbox]

But I saw someone dressed as Mark Sanchez. See, they had a Sanchez jersey and it was all bloody.

[Sizzin]

Oh, my God.
