This is an iHeart podcast.
B
Guaranteed Human.
A
I'm recording you yelling.
B
Say it out loud so we'll believe it. We are back. I want to apologize. Sore losers nation. We left you high and dry at the end of last week, boys and girls. There wasn't no doing it. Couldn't do it, wouldn't do it. I had no choice.
A
How's it going? I'm Sizzin.
B
Hey, what's up, dude? It feels. It feels fantastic.
A
What's your name?
B
My name is Lunchbox. Dude, you know that if you waited
A
any longer, we were gonna have to cancel the podcast because they have to put ads in our podcast? And I sent you a text. I said, ugh, the suits and mustaches are gonna be emailing us. Hello.
B
I know I did.
A
I was about to just come on here and fart.
B
You should have. You could have done anything. Because they were starting to worry that the podcast was over. They. They thought we had folded. They thought it. We had packed up shop. I did get a text from one of the bosses. He was like, whoa, heal up, man. You look bad. Thanks, man. Appreciate that, Ray.
A
You could do two farts and do ads on each side.
B
Another boss did comment on one of my posts and said, glad I didn't high five you in the hallway.
A
What? The golden hallway shower?
B
Yeah. So those were the two comments I got from upper management. Oh, man, upper management.
A
They've been bizarre lately with this cruise coming up. I feel like they ain't nowhere to put their hands. The other day, the program director for the one station came and sat on Scuba's chair and just sat there.
B
Really?
A
Yeah. And then by the time I went the bathroom and came back, I go, abby, where did he go? And she said, I don't know. He just came in here, sat down. Nobody was in here. And then he left. Huh.
B
Huh.
A
I wish I was that wide open.
B
Hey, weird things going on, man. You know what? I never got to last week that I was ready to tell you all
A
about Jamaica stories, The box that you're supposed to open. I don't know.
B
No, no. The Jamaica stories are March 8. That was one of the things that we're going to get to eventually in like a week and a half, two weeks. But no, I had to go fishing in my toilet, and I never got to tell you about it.
A
Well, do you want to start the show?
B
Yeah, let's start the show as we go fishing in the. Oh, no, we're going to do the start of the show and then do
A
that, because I have a new Intro.
B
What?
A
I spent three minutes on it because I know you're going to criticize it,
B
but I would never.
A
I would. I was bored, and it been so long since we done a podcast.
B
Oh, you have a new intro? Yeah. I thought you meant you, like, recorded something. My fault.
A
It's the sore losers Starry Lunchbox. Listen, I was all sick, and I had to get on Cialis, also starring Raymundo. My name's Bennett. I ain't in it. My name's Paul. That's up to y' all and intern Arnold. One time I was so drunk on Broadway with Abby, I peed myself. These are the sore losers.
B
That's hilarious. That's hilarious. That's really funny. I like it when you're bored. I need you to be more bored more often. That's pure entertainment. People love it.
A
All right, well, we're gonna do it live. We are the 1, 2, 3.
B
So 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.
A
What up, y'? All? It's Sizzin. I'm the voice guy you heard there. I'm also from the north. I'm an alpha male. I live on the north side of Nashville with bazer. We got 2.33 acres. We got two kids at Vanderbilt, probably defrosting. It's been 70 lately. Justin's in Michigan. Nobody knows when he's coming back. He's been going to the Gun Lake Casino. Up, down, who knows? He's probably down big. He randomly texted me and Bazer Saturday night and said, my job now is gambling not going well. I'm like, not the text to send. Baser. Just send that to me. Like, she didn't like it. Laugh or even comment on it. He's in a dark place. Hopefully he didn't find the bottle. Coach, over to you.
B
I will say Justin has come out of his hibernation when I've seen him commenting on some of the Facebook posts that people are putting, and he is making little comments, trying to be funny, trying to, like, get his groove back. And so there may be. Instead of how Stella got her groove back, it's how Justin got his. I couldn't think of a word.
A
It's okay. You've been sick. And also, sometimes the last time we hear of people remember sore losers locks. I heard he went to Phoenix, and then, you know, Nancy Gutler went missing. Where's Nancy, y'?
B
All? I don't think Nancy's the one that's missing.
A
Yes, she is.
B
You're right. But also, why have we not heard
A
of sore losers Locks? And how close does he live to Tucson?
B
You know, who haven't we heard from either? Taylor Dial. I don't even know if he still listens. And there was one guy that lived right here in Murphysboro. I don't remember his name, but he used to listen. I don't know if he's still around, but that's not. That's here nor there. We're not here to talk about the people that we don't know where they are. They have gone into the evaporation zone. Anyway, dude, I forgot to tell you. I have been so lucky with my kids. Because you don't have kids.
A
Yeah, I do.
B
You do?
A
I have a daughter. Oh, yeah, she's two.
B
Piper. Piper. Crap. Was Pablo the old one?
A
Pablo has passed. Rest in peace.
B
Dang it. Why you name them both? Peace. That's screwed up.
A
I don't know. Piper got named by Reddit. Bazer said. Here's the picture of my cat. Name it Piper.
B
Got it. You know how Mr. Beast got his name?
A
Beastiality.
B
Some gaming? YouTube. I don't know. I saw a clip the other day. I don't really know.
A
Overseas porn.
B
Right. But anyways, so I have been lucky because you get a lot of kids that are obsessed with the toilet and they like to put things in the toilet and they drop cars, they drop, you know, Legos, they drop marbles. They put all sorts of things in the toilet.
A
Or Cappy dropping bombs.
B
The only thing they refuse to drop in the toilet is their pee that goes all over the floor.
A
Not going to happen.
B
What do you mean?
A
That wouldn't happen in my house.
B
Oh, it happens. And you can't. You can't stop it. I don't know how to stop it.
A
One of those things you put on a dog cone. Put it on the toilet.
B
Could do that. Oh, like a funnel.
A
Yeah.
B
Not a bad idea. Problem is, they missed the front of the toilet. It's right there on the ground.
A
Make them sit.
B
No, not doing that. Not gonna. You know, we're not. We're not trying to do that. Cause, you know, weird things in their head. You know, am I a boy or a girl? Not that there's anything wrong with that. Not trying to do that. Anyway.
A
My house, we sit.
B
That's your house. Our house, we stand.
A
Honey, I want to see you standing up.
B
Yep. Don't you sit down. No, don't you dare. This is Stand up household.
A
Guys, this isn't even a joke, and I want you to get into what you're gonna say. Amy here at the show, from the big show, she said she never wants to touch the seat. So she'll sit. She stands up and goes the bathroom.
B
Really?
A
Have you not heard her say that?
B
No.
A
And at the old building, the walls were paper thin and we were right next to each other. And you could hear her because she's shooting from two feet up.
B
But that's why it sounded like that. It sounded like she was standing at a urinal gushing.
A
Huh.
B
Never knew that. Maybe I need to check that feeling yourself.
A
Yeah, her. With. With Kat Van Buren.
B
Kat Van Buren. So anyway.
A
Or is it touching yourself?
B
It may be touching yourself. Not really sure. I haven't. I haven't downloaded the most recent episode, so I'm not really. I'm a little behind on my podcast.
A
And we got a voicemail.
B
We do have a voicemail.
A
Are we behind?
B
Wow. We're behind. Do we need. I don't know if we need to play that today.
A
And you got a box from Laur.
B
Oh, and I got that present for Morgan. I forgot all about it. Dang it, dude. I'm telling you, it's been wild. Anyway, so this is like a week and a half ago now.
A
Dust it off.
B
I'm dusting it off. I was going to tell it last week and I totally forgot. And we had a basketball game. Baby Box had a basketball game. I was like, go in and brush your teeth. And he goes in there. He's brushing your teeth. And I hear, oh. And he comes out. And I'm like, what? He goes, I was playing with a golf ball, dad. I'm like, okay. He goes, well, I dropped, hit off the counter, it bounced on the floor, and it went in the toilet.
A
Was it a Pro V1?
B
My next question was, was it a Pro V1?
A
Ray was a Paloma.
B
He said, I don't know what that means, Dad. I said, was it a Titleist? I don't know what that means, dad. It's in the toilet. I said, all right, we'll grab it out.
A
Was it one of those muni balls they refurbish and try to sell you at full price?
B
Probably. And he goes, well, I can't pull it out. I said, what do you mean? He goes, well, one of my brothers peed in the toilet and didn't flush it. I said, so the golf ball is in a pee infested toilet.
A
It's a Porta Potty at this point he said, yeah.
B
I said, do not flush the toilet. Don't touch the toilet. I'm very proud of you for coming out here and telling me without flushing the toilet.
A
Now let me see this final point. I got the over.
B
Very smart.
A
Come on, Spurge.
B
No, I don't have cable, Ray. Still cable or Internet.
A
You need blank direct.
B
I need something. No, that's what I have.
A
C word direct.
B
I don't know what that is. Anyway, so then I'm like, well, I got to get it out. And I go in there and I get a pair of tongs and I'm trying to get in there, but the tongs aren't long enough because the ball is down kind of in the pipe.
A
You guys don't have help at the moat?
B
No, don't have help at the moat. Don't have ball recovery? I didn't have any of that. And I don't have one in my golf bag where you can just get it and get it out of the pond. That have been easy.
A
You do your own yard?
B
Yeah, it's really not that hard. You get a mower, you go real quick.
A
I know. It's so inexpensive in the country. It's amazing.
B
It's pretty awesome. Anyway, so I'm like, we got to go. We got to go to the basketball game. I'll just leave it for later.
A
That's what our country was founded on.
B
Hey, kick the can down the road and we go to the basketball game,
A
but make sure it's Bud Light.
B
And then we come home and I forgot. We got that birthday party that night, and we were having a babysitter come over, and I have to tell the babysitter, hey, they are not allowed to use that toilet. Don't you? So then the babysitter really doesn't have anywhere to go to the bathroom.
A
Well, hold on. Can you see the golf ball?
B
I can see it.
A
Get your arm down there. There's no time for this. Putting up cones, traffic cones. Dude, get the bathroom toilet cleaned. I got a guy for that.
B
I understand that I could just stick my arm in there at this point, but this, at this point, we're supposed to be at this birthday party over at the neighbor's house. The neighbor's turning 39, she's having a party. We're all supposed to bring an appetizer. Of course, my wife didn't plan in advance, didn't go to the grocery store, didn't make an appetizer. So we went through the drive thru at McDonald's and got five large fries. And that's the appetizer we brought.
A
That's America. That's dining out.
B
That's how you do it, and that's how you show up in style.
A
And so you got to get a guy. Phil. We had water pressure and some heating issues with two showers at once. Phil had it fixed within 12 hours. We got a guy for that?
B
No crap.
A
Yeah, Phil hit up a guy.
B
And then. And then he came over.
A
He came over with a buddy for two hours, but we got a guy for that.
B
Does that guy drive to the city?
A
No, that guy maybe does, but also, I don't know if we owe him any money. Just kind of just floats around in the ethereum. Huh.
B
Really?
A
I need that kind of guy.
B
So we go to the party, and we come home and we have cocktails. Like, the neighbor, Josh, is making this cocktail. It was freaking delicious. Don't even know what it was, what was in it. It was smart, really good. Had some coconut on the rim like he made. He was making some fancy for the 39th birthday. Had a. You know.
A
What do you have for the guys?
B
Oh, no, he had these cocktails that had, like, coconut on the rim, I think it was.
A
And where's the beer cooler?
B
Oh, there was a beer cooler if you wanted it. All right, sorry. Seltzer cooler for you. And I had probably a good five of those. And then it's time to go home. We go home and were you good to walk? Yeah, good to walk. You know, just a couple blocks, get home, and the babysitter leaves.
A
And I'm sitting there, whoa, what was that? Truck Slow down during a road.
B
I'm sitting there on the couch. I'm like, I'm gonna go to bed. And I'm like, oh, no, the golf ball. And I said, all right, I'm gonna go get the golf ball out. And I go. And luckily, I went, instagram Live.
A
Here's what a golf ball sounds like.
B
Instagram Live saved my life because I was just going to go, hand in the toilet, get the ball out.
A
This should have been a commercial at
B
the super bowl, and someone on Instagram lives like, dude, put the tongs down. Don't worry about your hand. Go get a wire hanger and use the hook part to pull it out, and then you can grab it with the tongs.
A
Yeah, but what about that hanger? You're never going to have it again.
B
That's okay. A hanger is 3 cents, right?
A
Use a brown shirt to hang afterwards.
B
And so I was like, this is so smart. And, dude, Let me tell you, I got that hanger. I mean, scoop. Got the. What do they call tongs? Grab that ball, dropped it in the trash. Voila. Hanger.
A
Hanger can still be used.
B
No, because I had to. I had to unravel it because it was not long enough the hook to reach down to get the ball.
A
Right. But if there's only so much feces on it, it can still. You can put a yellow shirt on it.
B
Oh, the tong went back in the dishwasher.
A
That'll clean whatever.
B
That'll clean whatever. Not worried about golf ball. Someone on the live feed said they wanted the golf ball. I said, send me a dm. They never sent me a dm. So it's still sitting there.
A
Would have been funny is if you gave it to me as a present. And then right now I hear this story, and the whole time I slowly realized, that's the ball you just gave me.
B
Damn. That would have been funny.
A
That would have been a good segment.
B
Damn. I should have brought that to you and be like, hey, dude, this is a golf ball you're going to hit a hole in one with and tossed it to you.
A
Why did you not do that?
B
I was probably gonna do that, but then I got sick and I told
A
it was from a week and a half ago.
B
It was from a week and a half ago, dude. And so the story's not even that great because it's on my Instagram live and everybody's already seen it. But I just wanted to share the story because I. A week and a half ago, it was funny, and now it's just. I needed to talk about it to get it off my chest.
A
Well, we wanted to say real quick before we do go to commercial, those that we care about. Thank you for listening to Tuggers, the firefighters.
B
Whoa.
A
Thank you for what you boys and girls do. Robles, the truck drivers, and the HR professionals. Sharpen your pencils. We got some new beds and stuff while you were gone.
B
I love it. I love it. We'll take a break. We'll be right back.
A
Forgot about you, farmers.
C
This month, iHeartRadio is celebrating the stars of the 2026 Winter Games. The pride of Starksboro, Vermont, Ryan Cochrane. Siegel carries one of the most famous names in American skiing history. A super G specialist with a silver medal already to his name, he attacks the mountain with a smooth, technical style that separates him from the pack. Known for finding speed where others find trouble, he drops into Milano Cross Cortina looking to upgrade his silver to gold. For Cochrane Siegel, skiing fast is A family tradition. For more Winter Games gold search olympics on the iHeartRadio app.
B
Dude.
A
Yeah. We're back live.
B
Let me tell you something, though.
A
Yes, you are looking live.
B
I wanted to tell you that there might be someone that is better at selling cable than you were at Grande Communications.
A
I was top sales. Illegally or not, I was number one on the spreadsheet.
B
They may have absolutely figured out how to do their job. And I have never received better advice from a customer service representative.
A
It says, Raymundo, thanks for calling Grinding Communications. I'm going to be of assistance to you. Oh, yeah, you have a problem with your dish. Let me reconnect you. Hang up on them. This one right here. Who messed with my sound effects. Continue.
B
No, I'm waiting for the sound. You said you did this, so the story is incomplete if we don't have your sound. Ah, there's a problem with your dish. Hold on one second. And what would you do? There you go.
A
Hang up on them because it's not
B
going to get you a sale.
A
I realized with the algorithm, it did not benefit you to stay on the phone with them because they don't want any upsells. They don't want any of that. All they want is their issue fixed. Hang up with them. It's better for your overall cum ratio and how you get paid out to. To just hang up on an old person. Hang up on a person that doesn't know what they're talking about. Hang up on a person that needs a quick fix.
B
There you go. Well, this lady didn't hang up on me, right?
A
That's what we should do. Our listeners at the Bobby Bones Show.
B
I needed a quick fix. I needed to call and report that the line to my house was severed in the backyard. I'd already called twice, and they told me there was a major outage, that I could not report it. So it had been almost three weeks since this ice storm. Whoa.
A
What is this, the Nancy Guthrie case?
B
No. Well, it seems like it went about that long. And I called and I said, hey, yeah, I just need to call. And she's like, yeah, I see there's a big outage. And I was like, no, no, no. I need to report that my line is severed because I do not want them to come out here and fix the line and then me still be without cable and Internet. And she was like, yeah, sir, I'm not allowed to put that in. And I said, can you give me an estimate on how long until this is back up and running? And she said, let Me look here, sir. Let me look over here. Actually, sir, I can't. There's not really an estimation up there yet. I said, so what am I supposed to do? I have been without cable and Internet for three weeks, and you can't even give me an estimate, a ballpark figure when you guys are going to be able to come out and fix this problem?
A
Did you start saying websites you're not able to go to? Soarlosers.com Cinemax, HBO, Max stars.
B
Max didn't say any website. Didn't even think about that.
A
Espn, the NBA All Star Game, the Super Bowl, Mugsy, Bonnie.
B
I said, I am losing all. My hotspot is run out for the month.
A
You didn't get to see the halftime show with Kinky Rabbit?
B
No, I did because I did the hotspot thing.
A
She doesn't know that.
B
Oh, the antenna. The antenna thing.
A
She thinks everything's severed.
B
Correct? So she was like, yeah, I, I, I understand that can be very frustrating. And I said, yeah. So I don't know how I'm gonna get my work done. My house can't operate properly without it. I, I don't know what I'm supposed to do. What do you suggest I do? And this is when she won employee of the year. She goes, sir, what I would do is call another service.
A
She referred you to the competition.
B
She goes, if that was my house, I would call another company and get new service.
A
That's an upsell I never tried at Grande Communications.
B
She goes, I know this is on a recorded line, and I'm probably not supposed to be saying this, but I would make them earn my, my loyalty back. I'd make them call me and give me a huge discount and try to woo me back after I joined another service. If after three weeks, I'm not able to be told when my cable and Internet is going to be restored, I would go somewhere else.
A
I want to be disco'd. That's the lingo in the biz.
B
I was like, roll a truck. I said, wow. She goes, yeah. I mean, it's unfair to you as a customer to just be sitting there. So if that was my house, that's what I would do. It's probably not what they want to hear down the line when they're listening into this call. But that's my honest opinion.
A
Don't worry, lady. They're only going to audit you if you get in trouble, and they'll pull the calls. Otherwise, you're in the clear. If there's a call center, 30 people, you'll get audited once a month. They call, pull five calls. Maybe for the most part, you should
B
be good so there's not someone listening all the time.
A
Heck, no. And if she's got nothing but rave reviews, no customers actually calling in and saying her name, and if her sales numbers are fine, they'll never listen to her calls. For years, I was good for a year, and then I tried to go number one in sales. All of a sudden, they started pulling calls.
B
Yeah. And so I was like, wow. So I sat down with the wife, and I was like, look, we're making the change. We're calling this company. We're calling this company. We're going to see which one can be out here first. And we are doing it. And so Thursday, I get home from work, and they're out there fixing the line. Wow.
A
The old company.
B
The old company. So her little saying, you should switch companies to me, they were listening in and said, we got to send someone to that account now?
A
Yeah, now, that was 20 years ago. They could have buzzwords. If somebody says F word, S word, it might ping. So they could then pull that call.
B
And they sat up there, and they fixed the line in the alley. And then they're fixing the line to my house. And some person that lived in my house before had a different company. So there's another wire. And I said, hey, man, can you cut that down? He goes, not our wire, man. Can't do it.
A
Of course, man, if. Hey, let the other guy do it.
B
I said, yeah, but he goes, you have to call that company. I said, there is no way.
A
Does this company start with a Benjamin Franklin.
B
I said, there is no way. If I call that other company, say, hey, man, I need you guys to bring a truck out here because I have a wire I need you guys to cut. They will be here in six years.
A
Roll a truck. They would say weird stuff like that to me. I would hang up on them.
B
And so I. I was like, what?
A
Roll a truck to come get some cord coming out of the ground. Yeah, yeah. Let me transfer you. What the hell? All right, next call.
B
Hello.
A
Running communications race later. How can I help you? Yeah, absolutely. An upsell. I'll get you stars, hbo and that UFC fight. You said you had a little bit of blurry problems. Oh, you didn't let me just credit it. Anyways, you're welcome, of course. Just make sure you call back in three months or at what's. We're going to bill you 30. You're probably gonna complain and hate me then. All right. Have a good day.
B
That's beautiful, Coach.
A
It was great until it wasn't.
B
Until what? Until the bottom fell out. And I looked up at the guy on the ladder, and I'm like, man. And he goes, I'm sorry, man. It's just like, liability reasons.
A
All right, buddy?
B
And I looked at him, I said, man, so I'm going to go through the hassle of trying to call this other company after I just sat here with three weeks with no Internet and no cable, and you're right there, inches from it, and all you got to do is a little slice and it'll come down, and then you got to go to the other end and do a little slice, and it'll come down, and then that. That wire won't be hanging over my backyard, and it'll be like, I'll be free of this, whatever it is.
A
Oh, so it was hanging over the entire yard? You didn't say that. I thought it was just up on the telephone pole.
B
No. And he looks at me, goes, all right, I got you, dog.
A
That's what I'm talking about. The show.
B
That's what I'm saying. And he just. He just looked at him, he goes,
A
big fan of the potty.
B
All right, I got you, dog. And he cut it down. And so, I mean, everything is right in the world right now.
A
Let me float you a couple coins. Clickety clack. Thanks, man.
B
I thought my life was headed in the right direction. Like, it was. Everything was, like, looking great. And then Friday hit, and that's when I was sick. Oh, that was on Thursday, man.
A
Okay.
B
Like, everything was like, wow, wow, wow. And then pow, pow, pow, down I went. It was amazing, dude. But I do have cable and Internet back. I have cable and Internet back.
A
Well, you can finally watch the spurs in Kansas because both doing well.
B
Well, I did get to. Well, I kind of watched Kansas on Saturday.
A
We didn't watch the Peterson kid. He never plays.
B
No, he played on Saturday. That's when my eyes were almost all the way shut, so I couldn't see it that well. Honey, what's the score?
A
I got a first half over, but
B
we were getting our butts kicked, and I think I fell asleep on the couch at that point. I was like, man, we're not. We're not going to win this game. We've been hotter than a pistol. That was writing on the wall. We gave Iowa State their first loss. We were bound to lose. So I was like, you know what? I'm okay. My eyes are hurting. I'm not feeling Good. My name is Bennett. I'm going to. I'm going to. I'm not going to be in it. So, yeah, we are back. We are back.
A
Yeah. And careful with the references to a pistol. Just because of the Nancy Guthrie case right now. He had a pistol in his front crotch. No glove references, Ray. It's been warmer in here than a glove thrown on the side of the road. Oh, just avoided since you've been here.
B
Yeah. Okay. We'll take a break. We'll be right back.
A
Dude, Ray, tell you what. One of those nest cams it's been. Ray, it's been more photographic in here than a ring camera, you know what I'm saying?
B
All right.
A
It's been hotter in here in a day in Phoenix, you know what I'm saying? Ray, it has been more confusing here than that sheriff down there in Tucson, you know what I'm saying? Just avoid those references, man.
B
Okay. Yeah. Thank you. Do you have any more that you have on the list that you've been keeping track since we haven't been here?
A
No, that was it, Ray. It has been more GD Confusing than gma. Oh, she's on the Today show. Ray, how are you doing today? No, too soon. Too soon.
B
All right.
A
Our prayers are with the family. Savannah Guthrie. Nancy Guthrie, as Bazer would say. Y'. All. Where's Nancy?
B
Hello. Love the pod. My husband is a huge fan of the podcast and a huge fan of you guys. He listens to the big show, too, but Sore Losers is by far his favorite above the other one. I wanted to reach out and ask for help with a birthday present for my husband, Patrick. I was wondering if you give him a shout out on his birthday. It's February 17th, and I know he'd think you guys wishing him a happy birthday would be one of the coolest birthday gifts ever. Patrick loves all things sports. He loves baseballs. I mean, baseball. The Cincinnati Reds, college football and basketball, Kentucky Wildcats. They suck. Golf and almost every sport but soccer. He is very knowledgeable about sports. I'd say he's a sports genius, too, and does sports coverage with 13th region media, high school boys and girls basketball. He does great interviews and articles. Needless to say, he's very talented and knowledgeable about sports and a big sports fan. He doesn't know I'm asking for all this. I wanted it to be a surprise if y' all have time to. I know he'd probably freak out and be one of the best birthdays of all time. Thank you for taking the time to read this May God bless you, Jaden.
A
This just in. It was yesterday. His birthday.
B
Happy birthday, Patrick. Yeah, yeah, but we didn't have a podcast on his birthday. Oh, so this is the first Patrick birthday. First day since his birthday. So this is his birthday podcast.
A
Well, you stumbled over your words very memorably. He's going to love that. Do you want the voicemail that we got?
B
No, no, no, not today. Right?
A
We can only handle so much excitement.
B
We can only handle so much excitement, dude. I mean, it is Patrick's birthday. We just want to soak this in for a minute. I mean, Jaden wrote some glowing things about her husband. Jaden, that's the, the wife.
A
I thought he was gay or blind.
B
Oh, God, no. Patrick is a sports fan.
A
The climber was blind. I'm sorry.
B
Yeah, he was. He didn't. Mount Kilimanjaro.
A
Excuse me.
B
Yeah, so happy birthday to Patrick, man. I hope it was a great one. I don't know how old you are, but you like the Reds. They suck. The Wildcats, they suck. So you like some crappy teams, but it's a great birthday, man.
A
And you got Ellie Della Cruz randomly. Neighbor is obsessed with the Reds. Really had a connection with a guy there at the old Reds, New Reds, dude. He has a turnstile from one of the red stadiums. He's got bases all over. Guys go on our YouTube. I did a whole hour video up in his upstairs of all the red stuff he has.
B
You did?
A
Joey Votto chairs, bats, balls, bases. There's benches, seats, ticket holders from the old stadium. Helmets, pine tar, chalk, condoms. I don't know, a lot of stuff.
B
I mean, I really need to get up to a Reds game, man. We were going to go last year, take the boys, see the Cubs, Reds, first weekend out of school. But then we ended up not going and I don't know why we didn't go, but man, it's just right up the road.
A
South beach lived there for a whole year. And I go, dude, how many Bengals and Reds games did you go to? And he goes, none.
B
Huh?
A
He said, I don't go to games by myself. That's such a loser thing to do.
B
I can see that, bro.
A
I went to Vandy all by myself and had the best time ever.
B
Yeah, that's when I bailed on you. That was my bad.
A
And Justin, yeah, who was another one. Kevin was also supposed to roll.
B
He bailed. Yeah, it's tough, man. I, I, I just think. Yeah. Vandy football, though, not very. Yeah, I had a blast.
A
Pavia threw for 504 tugs.
B
Yeah, baseball. I mean, I've been to one baseball game by myself. I went to see the A's versus the Rangers in Arlington by myself.
A
It is weird when you go when you're cheering because you ain't got that person to high five. But I believe at one point I high five to dude next to me. And then you just kind of act like your person's always coming. Oh, two seats here. Okay, cool. So then they think your person's just late.
B
Yeah, I was going because I was going to. They were doing an open casting call for Real World. Real World and Road Rules. And so my buddy Wade lived in, you know, Boggs. Not Wade Boggs, Wade Pack. He lived up. His sister lived up there, and so I was going to stay with her. And so I went to the Rangers game while I was in town, and they were playing the A's, and I sat right behind home plate. And I don't remember if it was Mulder or hut. Or Zito. And they. But either they're both lefties, so I don't remember which one it was. But that curveball, dude, it dropped off a cliff. Dropped. It was so great to watch you, like, whoa, whoa, bam. Gone. Sitting right behind home plate was fan tastic.
A
Well, we don't have a baseball stadium here nearby, so you're going to have to make a drive if you do go.
B
No, no, we got one right down the road. The sounds. Yeah, that one.
A
You get in the outfield drinking some of those Jack Daniels slushies, you forget you're at a baseball game, playing bags.
B
They got a party. They got the miniature golf. They got everything.
A
Justin goes, why? What do you mean, we're leaving? And I said, the game ended. What do you mean we're leaving? It's only 10. This bar is still open. I said, dude, you're in right field of a baseball game. The game's over. This bar closes when the game ends. What do you mean? Bars don't close at 10? They do it. A baseball game?
B
Yeah, they kick you out, dude. Like, this is a baseball stadium. They lock the gates because they don't want you running on the field.
A
Yeah.
B
So, man, so what have you been up to the last week, man? I mean, this. It feels like a weird hodgepodge, a podcast here because, I mean, we're all over the place, but it feels good to be back.
A
Well, yeah, we were worried for you. Baser did say, where are you getting your lip injections at? Yeah, get her person that information because she liked them. They were Plump, apparently.
B
They were. They were. They were huge.
A
The. We were worried about you and I. I can't believe, though. So was it just the Z packs they pumped you with?
B
They pumped me with steroids, antibiotics. I mean, I don't know. They were an oral steroid, a steroid shot, everything.
A
Because, I mean, you. You say Z pack. I'd heard it so many times, but it's just.
B
I didn't say Z pack.
A
Right. But when you always have these problems, it's usually a Z pack. So this time they had to throw the kitchen sink at you?
B
They had to throw a kitchen sink. It was a lot different. It wasn't the normal pack that I usually get.
A
And like you said, how do single parents do it?
B
I don't know.
A
Go out like that.
B
There's no way. I mean, my kids. I'll tell you what it's like.
A
I mean, Amy's a single parent.
B
I mean, like, my.
A
Her ex husband's miles away, and, I mean, she has the kids every other week. I mean, how does she freaking do it?
B
I don't know. My wife, like, she was able to take the kids to the basketball game on Saturday. And then after the basketball game, they went to the park, the playground, for three and a half hours. Got to and just gave me time to just kind of blah. Almost die at the house by myself. She want. She didn't want the kids to see me pass away. She didn't want them there when I took my last breath.
A
And three and a half hours at a park. That's not called being bored and finding something to do. That's called just being homeless. Dude. I know. Because they overran the park downtown. Oh, cool. It's right next to the river. They're gonna make a walking track. They're also gonna make bar monkey bars and basketball hoops. It was overrun. It was a homeless encampment within two weeks. Oh, cool. My nephew's in town. We'll play ping pong. This homeless person takes his shoe and throws it at my wife and sister. This is the one thing Tristan remembers about his childhood from me.
B
I. I know you mean. Yes. Is he still playing basketball? Yeah. Got it.
A
They've been struggling, but he put up 20 the other night. And me and Bazer made a deal with him. He puts up combined points and rebounds. 25. He gets a pair of Denver Broncos chubby shorts. And he has one game to do it on third tomorrow, so we'll see if he does. Anyways, this homeless person, drunk and high on X throw. He's Whipping around like a helicopter. Throws his shoe in the air. Lands afoot. From my sister and wife. Girlfriend at the time.
B
Got it.
A
We are since been in May or married. I go up to this homeless guy. I was like, don't you ever, ever can throw your shoe.
B
Get the out of here. I care. Get the out of here.
A
I scared the demons out of that guy. I think he went sober and got a job the next day.
B
Wow. I saw him again. Huh.
A
I don't know what came over me, but it was the first time that I felt my family was in danger. It's fine if he's just over there sunbathing and. But when he threw the shoe and got into their space and all of a sudden, I could see that he was on crack cocaine. He had been doing some heroin. He was on another planet. I yelled at him and he cleared out. But Boomer goes, hey, hunt the way. Remember that one time the homeless guy threw the shoe at us?
B
That's crazy, man. You're like a hero.
A
I just had.
B
I kind of.
A
He was weird me out, dude. I just had to get him out of there. And I think Hillary was there, too.
B
Were you more scared for your sister or for your girlfriend?
A
I didn't think he was going to come that close to him. I'm all fine. Ten feet. Cool. Five feet, no worries.
B
Two feet.
A
Need a dollar. One inch away from my family.
B
I was like, get the guy.
A
And I was like, five deep. And I was just trying to play football with my nephew. I was like, got him out of there. I think he's sober.
B
That's great, man. I saw. I think I saw him working at Aldean's.
A
Yeah. Yeah, well, probably holding road signs. That's usually where they go after jail. Coach, good to have you back. I didn't know if the pod was going to continue.
B
No, it's good, man. I. I really don't know what else was going on in the sports world.
A
I. I had no other choice. But I was, like, posting on the socials. I was like, well, we haven't done a new one since Wednesday. Hey, guys, did you listen to our last podcast yet?
B
Yeah, that's. I mean, sometimes people get sick, dude. It was just. It was. It was a rough. It was rough time.
A
Well, you know, I'm not even that hard on you.
B
Why?
A
McAfee's been offered since the Super Bowl.
B
Whoa.
A
They just take two weeks off? Laura Rutledge from espn? That blondie?
B
Don't know her.
A
She does sideline reporting for all the football games.
B
Don't know her.
A
She's been traveling. She's been Disney. She's off. So, I mean, that was the time when people take their breaks.
B
Oh, all right, well, we'll take a break.
A
So I'm just saying we weren't competing against anybody. There was nobody else putting out any content. So hopefully our old content is better retread than other people.
B
I don't think people go back and listen to our old content. I think I just.
A
You're dead wrong. You are dead wrong. Because you want to do to McAfee. If it's fantasy football season, you go
B
back and listen old.
A
Yeah.
B
When you want to listen to new. If it's fantasy football.
A
Yeah. That really didn't work. I thought I was going to do better. I didn't even make the playoffs.
B
Yeah. If you're getting information on guys from two years ago, doesn't really hold up to what it is to now.
A
But I will go listen to funny episodes. I will go back to a certain date that I remember. I laughed my butt off, and I'll go back to that. So I think you're dead wrong.
B
I would high. I would say 99% of our listeners, none of them have gone back and listened to an episode over once.
A
Have you ever gone back to an old fling?
B
Not recently, no. Ray. Not in the last.
A
How would I admit to that?
B
What year did I get married? Not in the last 11 years. Has it been 11 years?
A
Make sure that timeline's good.
B
I'm like, oh, what year was. Yeah, I think I got married in 15.
A
It is funny. We always joke about timelines and what we've learned with forensics and the first 48 is timelines are so critical because it's like. Especially with marriages and affairs, because it's like, how long y' all been together? Oh, we've been together a year. When did y' all break up? Oh, we broke up like nine months ago. What? Those timelines don't match up. So that's why it's always huge with affairs and crimes. And so who was the last person to see Nancy at what time and when did that camera record that? Timelines. That's why we always set up a timeline.
B
Have to.
A
They're huge.
B
It's such a big issue.
A
That's because when you said I was Thursday, the golf ball was in the pisser. I. That's your timeline. And then Friday you were sick. It wouldn't have matched up with your story. That's why it was good. The timeline flowed.
B
No, no. Thursday was when the cable guy.
A
Right.
B
Showed up and you were, you were
A
puffy faced or you were piss hand.
B
No, no. Piss hand was the last weekend. We just didn't have enough time for it on that Wednesday. Pot.
A
Okay. So we had to set up a whole week and a half.
B
Oh my gosh. I mean, I'm sure there's other stories that I forgot that I'd written down that you probably had that you want to talk about Last week I memorized this one thing.
A
Vanderbilt's going to start giving out marshmallows. But it's like a kid's toy. That's a marshmallow.
B
Great. They'll probably charge you for it.
A
Well, I was going to tell you.
B
Oh my God. I can't wait.
A
That's another game you need to go to.
B
No, not going to the games now. I'm getting bombarded with advertisements. Spend your Saturday inside with Vandy basketball.
A
I just saw one for Georgia. They play Georgia on the 20th.
B
Yeah, no thank you. I'm good. Not going to be there.
A
I would say since we're talking basketball teams that could win it.
B
Michigan. That's it.
A
Michigan. Arizona is apparently these kids from overseas, I've just watched them for the first time and they lost and they. Kansas, they all seem like they're. They played overseas for a little bit and then came over here. So I'd say Arizona. Not that they're bad, they're just. They just don't look like they're as athletic as some of these Michigan, these college kids. So it's Michigan, Arizona. I'll throw them in Michigan State and Kansas.
B
Kansas can't win nothing.
A
There's four with the Peterson kid.
B
They can't win it all.
A
So there's four teams that can win it all at Duke. Well, they got the boozer kid, that's Woody Award winner or whatever. But other than that, it's your four teams.
B
Man, I. It just feels good to be able to put basketball back on. Like I watched a little bit this weekend and it was just like, man, this is so weird to have tv.
A
Well, and this was. People always say, I know we only talk lifestyle, no sports, but I want to say this. After the 4th of July, it's notorious. It's like the one day of the year there's no sports or something. February is pretty damn close because NBA does the all star break. NHL is playing in the Olympics. So let's just consider that on break.
B
Yeah.
A
Tennis doesn't have anything to the French Open. Golf is on a break until the Masters are Playing other stuff. So right now this dead period. Because we're waiting until March Madness. We're waiting until baseball. No, football. This is almost as bad as fourth of July. And baser was. Why are you. Why are you so bored? What do you mean? You want to watch a movie, right? Nothing on tv. Statistically there's not. I'm factually correct.
B
Yeah. I have no idea, man. I. I couldn't tell you. I don't know what happened. The all Star game. No idea. I didn't see a highlight. Nothing. No idea. No clue. They had the three point shot. Who won?
A
I didn't watch any of it.
B
Don't know.
A
It was bad memories. Cause actually that's when I was. It was uncovered my gambling addiction a year ago to the day.
B
The only thing I did see was Mac McClung didn't do the dunk contest because other participants said they wouldn't do it if he was in it. So he just put on Twitter, he put videos up and said, these were the dunks I was gonna do. They were nasty. They were so nasty.
A
What was he making a political stance, Bad bunny or whatever?
B
No, no. Other players in the NBA wouldn't go to the duck contest because they thought they would lose if he was in it. So he said, I won't go. He did one where he jumped up, toe tapped the ball with his toes and then backwards dunk. I was like, dang.
A
One of the dunks doesn't get enough credit. Maybe 10 years ago, Guy jumped up, blew out the candle with the cupcake and dunked it.
B
That was cool.
A
Never even got a perfect score because he made it so the ball didn't put out the cupcake candle. And the him putting. Putting his arms up didn't do it. It was literally him blowing the candle out is what did it.
B
That's pretty impressive, Ray.
A
Should I ate the cupcake.
B
I'll tell you what would be cool. To dunk a basketball. That probably has to be one of the best feelings in the world.
A
Not a lot of people can. My dad, six, seven and white, he can't dunk. I think he said because his hands were smaller. He said he couldn't grip the ball. He could touch the rim, but he couldn't. You can't dunk with two hands. It's harder. And he said with one hand he couldn't dunk. I'm like. And Boomer, he's like six, four. And I was like, boomer, I can pertinent touch the net. That's right below the rim. Tell Me? You can't dunk.
B
It's got no hops.
A
That's what I'm saying, dude.
B
I know Miguel can't dunk. He can't even touch net. There's no way.
A
What about. What about Colby the truck driver?
B
He might be able to dunk.
A
What about Cappy?
B
Don't think he can dunk, man. Don't think he can dunk, man. That's. That's rude.
A
Cappy goes, man, you guys don't do enough for the disabled community. I was like, well, what do you want us to do? Put wheelchair ramps out front of businesses?
B
What do you mean? We carried you all around Nashville for five years and dropped you on your head.
A
And I did learn there's some back alleys to some of those bars. Some of those places we went with Cappy.
B
Yeah.
A
They hadn't had any foot traffic since the place opened. It was dust. They're moving cords, wires. We were in the guts of five of the 10 bars downtown.
B
I love it, man. Hey, this pod may have sucked today, but we are back. We're going home. We had to knock the rust off. Have a great Wednesday, guys.
A
And guys, not. Honestly, it's not satire. We're not. I'm not. Anyways, it's serious business. Let's get Nancy Foundation. Bazer cracks me up every time. She gets on her Instagram in her Southern accent, and she goes. Just like it's her own parent. She goes, y', all, where's Nancy?
B
No, really. I mean, we should really cover that more. Maybe on Friday we'll dissect it, but I have no idea. No idea. No idea. Is that When. When does the NBA come back?
A
You know, I mean, I believe it would probably be this week. They're not taking multiple weeks off.
B
No, it's got to be, like, today, right?
A
Yeah, I mean, it's back, dude.
B
I mean, Patrick's birthday. I mean, we can't have no NBA. Yeah. No, it's not today.
A
Olympics. We're getting killed in the metal count.
B
Well, yeah. It's winter, dude. We're not supposed to win it.
A
Yeah, we don't have any winner.
B
Not really. Yeah, I don't see any NBA today. All right, man. Yeah.
A
You see the dowels down?
B
Oh, that's. I'm sad about that. That's sad.
A
This is an I heart podcast.
B
Guaranteed human.
The Bobby Bones Show – Sore Losers Podcast Replay
Date: February 20, 2026
Host: Bobby Bones (Lunchbox), co-hosts Sizzin, Raymundo
The episode marks the rowdy return of the Sore Losers crew after an unexpected break. The hosts candidly recap why the show was silent for over a week—primarily due to illness—and ease back in with their trademark chaotic humor, sports banter, life anecdotes, and a hilarious golf ball-in-the-toilet saga. The episode is heavy on improv and storytelling, interspersed with audience engagement, a heartfelt birthday shoutout, and their now-infamous running jokes about sports and Nashville life.
The episode is a classic return to form for the Sore Losers: boisterous, slightly disjointed, but loaded with personality, storytelling, and sports-adjacent banter. The hosts’ chemistry and willingness to overshare about both sports and mundane home-life disasters is on full display. Fans are assured that the pod is alive and well, albeit a little rusty—and looking forward to getting the train back on the tracks.
Tone & Language Notes
The show’s signature is rambunctious, irreverent banter, delivered in a laid-back, self-deprecating style with regional (Nashville) flavor. Quotes and jokes are raw and often poke fun at themselves and their fandom. Listeners who enjoy inside jokes, sprawling tangents, and colorful storytelling will feel right at home.
