Lunchbox
Listen, you're sitting here dilly dicking around. Did you start the time?
Mina Kimes
I did. I'm not dilly dicking. I'm not dilly dally. And I mean, I am back from vacation and I got, I mean, an extravaganza of stories.
Lunchbox
Well, I would hope, because if you think about it, we are ease of mind. We are more creative when we're on vacation. And it's five entire days for just stories to just create this swell, this groundswell.
Mina Kimes
Yeah. And I'm going to tell you, I. I was so excited for vacation. I was driving to Texas, going to Lake lbj, seeing the family. We were going to spend, you know, five, six days in the water. Non stop fun. You were going to Miami? South beach, to be exact.
Lunchbox
Yes.
Mina Kimes
Guess where I went? South Beach.
Lunchbox
Okay. No, you didn't.
Mina Kimes
But all right, yeah, yeah, I did. Ray.
Lunchbox
That's the tie in.
Mina Kimes
No, literally, you were in south beach and I was in South Beach. It was amazing. As I rolled up to the house, I was like, oh, me and Ray were in the same freaking spot. And you don't believe me? Here's where. Look, I texted Chest day and he said, here we go, where is it at? Yeah, we're here. Come on. And I texted him the address. South Beach. Right here. Right there in blue top.
Lunchbox
South Beach. All right.
Mina Kimes
Wild. But anyway, you want me. Let's just start.
Lunchbox
That's a hell of a story. No, no, you weren't kidding. These are gonna be huge.
Mina Kimes
I mean, if you guys came here for good content, that was it. Chest Day came out and visited. He came out for a couple hours and he brought the swimsuits. He wore a swimsuit but didn't get in the water.
Lunchbox
Don't you got Chest Day? Was he got a kid? Dude.
Mina Kimes
No, he's just chilling. He was partying. He was going out that night, so he needed to get back in, take a nap. But he came and he said I was being optimistic. I brought my swimsuit. And then like, all right, we're gonna get in the water. And he was like, all right, I'm gonna take off. And I was like, wait, you're not gonna get in the water? Or I thought you brought. You were wearing your swimsuit. I thought you're gonna get in with us. But he didn't get in. So maybe he was, you know, I, I, I don't know. I don't know. Too many kids, you know, a lot of chaos going on. He was probably like, I'm a little overwhelmed. It's kind of crazy. But yeah. Yeah.
Lunchbox
He thought, time to dip.
Mina Kimes
He did. When you dip, I dip. We dip. Put your hand up on my hip. When you did we. You know that song?
Lunchbox
That's pretty nice. Those guys, though, to leave vacation bits for everybody to listen to while we were on vacation.
Mina Kimes
That was really nice. Those guys. I mean, they did a great job.
Lunchbox
But it wasn't our current selves. It was us a month ago.
Mina Kimes
Yeah, it was us, like, not knowing what we talked about, so trying not to reference things and back reference and come up with stories, and I didn't see a lot of chatter. So I don't know if people didn't even listen or they didn't enjoy them, but either way, they were there for your pleasure. And if you listened, you listened. If you didn't, you didn't. We'd wish you'd listen, but whatever.
Lunchbox
They're essentially those people on Instagram that don't like the photos. They're just vulturing them. You know, they're seeing a little bit of. But seeing a little bit of boobs in a bikini, but you don't actually like the photo. That's what they're doing with our Podcast.
Mina Kimes
They look at it, see it, listen, but don't rate it. Don't comment. Yeah. Don't email. We are the sore losers at gmail dot com. Don't give us your opinions. Don't say, welcome back, guys. We missed you. How was your vacation? Didn't get one email asking that.
Lunchbox
And it's weird. It's a weird time in sports because they're talking about 13 run pools and Is there any golf? Was there a John Deere Classic?
Mina Kimes
Dude, it went in over. Dude, the last two tournaments, playoffs. I even got my mom to watch golf last Sunday.
Lunchbox
It's relaxing and it's good vacation watch.
Mina Kimes
Well, there were some people out in the water, and I was hanging out inside with my mom, and I saw the score, and they were going to the playoff. They were tied on number eight, 18. Really? And I turned it on just to see the last hole because I thought, oh, someone will birdie 18 and they'll win. I think it was the rocket mortgage is the one. It was. And they didn't. And so then there was three guys going to a playoff. And I was like, mom, which one do you think is going to win? And she picked the guy in the pink shirt.
Lunchbox
Castellos.
Mina Kimes
And I picked Taylor. No, Gracerman.
Lunchbox
Oh, it was a week before.
Mina Kimes
Yeah, that one. And I picked. The guy in the green shirt was pock eater. And so she was like, all right. So then it went one playoff hole, two playoff holes, three playoff holes. And my mom goes, okay, this was fun for one hole. I didn't know this was gonna be an excuse to watch golf for an hour and a half.
Lunchbox
Loser has to do dishes.
Mina Kimes
But the kids came in from the lake and they're cheering, go, pink shirt. Go pink shirt. And whenever pock eater was at the green shirt, miss it. Miss it.
Lunchbox
Miss.
Mina Kimes
So they were cheering against me and cheering for granny. But it was kind of fun because the kids got into it, my mom was into it, and I didn't even know what the hell the tournament was. We watched a total of six holes. The five playoff holes and the one number 18. That was it. Don't even know who was in contention until we turned it on at that moment. But it was a lot of fun. That was not one of my good stories.
Lunchbox
The vacation sports are golf and tennis. Wimbledon. Talk about a beautiful vacation sport. It hit last year when I was in Charleston, Wimbledon. This year in South Beach, Wimbledon. It is so relaxing. I just want to take a nap. And I did. And I every day did.
Mina Kimes
I'll be honest. I Didn't. Literally. The only sports I watched was that playoff with Pader, Gracerman and some other guy, Captain Kirk. But he got eliminated after like two playoff holes. That was the only sports I watched. Didn't watch any Wimbledon. Didn't even know who was winning baseball games. Don't know about any trades that happened in the NBA. Nothing. I had no. I was not paying attention. I didn't turn on sports. It was so relaxing to be by the water.
Lunchbox
Well, the place I stayed at will have Wimbledon on. They put it on the big screen.
Mina Kimes
Yeah, that tells you there's nothing else going on.
Lunchbox
We're talking an 80 by 80 screen at this hotel. It would say breakfast 7 to 11. The minute 11am hit Wimbledon. Live coverage all day. They streamed it. We will be playing Wimbledon. You're looking for the baseball game. Oh, you mean football, soccer, Confipa. No, I mean Major League Baseball. Smack a Dabola.
Mina Kimes
I, I, I'm, I want to correct myself. I lied.
Lunchbox
World Cup, Ray.
Mina Kimes
Conference. I did turn on the Gold Cup Wednesday night. When I looked at the score, it was 2 to 2. FIFA cup and USA versus somebody. Honduras.
Lunchbox
Honduras, Costa Rica.
Mina Kimes
Oh, we went into penalty kicks and so we turned it on and watched the penalty kicks.
Lunchbox
We did Saudi Arabia.
Mina Kimes
That's all we watched.
Lunchbox
And I heard that the Nashville soccer team is on fire.
Mina Kimes
That we are unstoppable in fuego.
Lunchbox
They say it, Ray. South.
Mina Kimes
They're in second place one one point out of first. They beat the Philadelphia Union on Saturday. I don't know how they won, but I guess it was dramatic. We won one nothing. PK in the 90th plus 11 minutes of stoppage time.
Lunchbox
Minute a girl. I follow. The only reason I know said in the final minute we scored PK which you just said. But it sets up my story. And, and then it was the crowd going crazy and I said I didn't know she was a soccer fan. And then she spun the camera around and I also did not know that she doesn't wear bras.
Mina Kimes
Nice.
Lunchbox
So when is the next game?
Mina Kimes
But let's get to the show so I can tell you my stories. I can hear your stories because I got so many stories.
Lunchbox
I heard the golf story about you and your mom.
Mina Kimes
No, that, that wasn't even the story.
Lunchbox
That was in fuego.
Mina Kimes
No, that was just me telling you the only the sports I watched over the week. I did not.
Lunchbox
That's us cooking, man. We were at our best during the third overt time. Pink shirt. Pink shirt.
Mina Kimes
No, that, that really wasn't. That Wasn't a point. That wasn't the point, man. I. I really had stuff to come out of the gate with, and I. That wasn't it.
Lunchbox
All right, we will not be with Arnold. He was murdered last night.
Mina Kimes
No, he wasn't. No, he wasn't. No, he wasn't. It was not. That is. You were reading the Onion. You were reading the Onion. That was not true. It did not happen.
Lunchbox
All right, we will he. We will probably see him on Wednesday. Yeah, we're gonna do it live. We are the. 1, 2, 3.
Mina Kimes
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, y'. All.
Lunchbox
It is sizzling. I'm from the north. I'm an alpha male. I live on the north side with Bazer. We have property, 2.2 acres, tons of corn fields. I have been questioned as of late if there is, in fact, Ray and Baser. I cannot talk about that. Over to you, man. Over to you, man.
Mina Kimes
Listen, man. Vacation starts that last Friday, and I talked to my wife, and I'm like, look, we gotta get on the road. We are driving 12 hours, 12 and a half hours. We gotta make great time. I don't want to get there at 8pm Saturday, where we don't even get any late time on Saturday.
Lunchbox
So we're saying starting at square one.
Mina Kimes
Square one, dude. No, no, no.
Lunchbox
Continue.
Mina Kimes
Right?
Lunchbox
It started right away when I got on 65. Some guy flipped me off. I flipped him off, and my wife.
Mina Kimes
Then asked him, so we get packed on Thursday night, and I'm like, you want me to pack the car right now? And she's like, no, just leave it by the door. I will pack it in the morning. We'll be good to go when you get home from work. I'm like, perfect. And I run to the grocery store Thursday night because I got to get some stuff for breakfast because we have no breakfast food, because my wife doesn't want to make dirty dishes. So I'm like, all right, while I'm there, do you want me to grab snacks for the road? She says, no, I can get that in the morning. Okay, no problem. Sounds good.
Lunchbox
That's a team.
Mina Kimes
That's a team effort. We are communicating. We're ready to go, Ray. We got out of work about 12:45 on Friday, and I drive home to. Takes about 13 minutes to get home.
Lunchbox
Pit stop.
Mina Kimes
I pull up, and I am expecting the family to be buckled in their seats and we are going to pull out of that driveway. My wife's not even home.
Lunchbox
Still getting groceries and stuff.
Mina Kimes
Still getting groceries and stuff.
Lunchbox
You just repeated what I just said. What about the kids? Where are they?
Mina Kimes
They're with her.
Lunchbox
Oh, right. They're home alone. Don't tell anybody.
Mina Kimes
So they don't show up till 2 o'. Clock.
Lunchbox
Brutal. I would have lost my cotton, my mind.
Mina Kimes
We are already an hour and 15 minutes of wasted time from when we said we were going to leave from to when we actually leave. Because I am sitting there waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting. When I said, hey, do you want me to grab the snacks the night before? She said, no. So this vacation is off to a great start, Ray. A great start.
Lunchbox
That can't happen.
Mina Kimes
So then we drive and it's time for dinner. And we're in Memphis. God almighty, let me tell you.
Lunchbox
Could have been the home of a convention at one point.
Mina Kimes
Drove through, you know, the hills, neck of the woods of Jackson, Tennessee. Thought about stopping there, but now let's just keep going. And we're looking for a dog friendly restaurant and we find this great Italian place that has a first come, first serve patio. We find it on the Internet and it's right in Harbor Town, right on the river. And I'm going to tell you what, Ray, there's actually a nice part of Memphis.
Lunchbox
There is Harbor Town.
Mina Kimes
Harbor Town. It's right down the street from Bass Pro Shop, right by the St. Jude's Hospital. And if you want to become a partner and hope it only costs $20 a month, go to st.jude.org and it's first come, first serve. So we park and there's all these people in great moods. They got their golf carts driving around Harbor Town. I don't know if they're there for vacation or all these people live there. We go walk up to the Italian place and we sit down at a table on the patio and the waitress comes up and goes, oh, you need to go see the hostess. And we're like, no, no, no. Online it says like first come, first serve. She's like, oh, no, that, that's not true. On the weekends.
Lunchbox
Semantics, man. Eat some food.
Mina Kimes
All right, cool, cool. So we go in, see the hostess, like, oh yeah, it'll be an hour and a half. Wait, another delay, another delay. But there's another restaurant right down the old strip of the Harbor Town, some bar restaurant. And so we walk in there like, oh, do you guys allow dogs? Like, oh, we do allow on dogs on our patio, but our patio Is not open currently. Whoa.
Lunchbox
You guys had a dog with you?
Mina Kimes
Yeah. And I'm like, oh, okay, cool. And they're like, but would you like to sit inside? And we're like, well, we have the dog. And they asked my wife, is it a service animal? My wife says, no. And the hostess goes, I think I heard you say yes.
Lunchbox
Honey. Learned a lot.
Mina Kimes
So we are in this restaurant with a damn dog, just in the restaurant hanging out. So I go get chew sticks out of the car, letting the dog eat treats all over the floor, just laying there. Kids act like it's a cow. And let me tell you, slow, slow, slow, slow. Service dinner takes about an hour and 45 minutes. So we have been wasting nothing but.
Lunchbox
Time as ain't the way I'm traveling. That's ridiculous.
Mina Kimes
It is so frustrating. I'm trying to be in a good mood because it's part of the adventure is the road trip and making memories, but my inner self just wants to get there and be on vacation.
Lunchbox
Mom, why is dad so mad? I'm leaving you guys. Goodbye.
Mina Kimes
No, I mean the fact that she wasn't home to leave when I got home from work.
Lunchbox
But at that point, you just have to say to yourself, I'm on vacation. As long as you're in that mindset, you're good. You can't be in the productive, ambitious mindset. That's work.
Mina Kimes
I understand. And I should have tried to. I should have just let it go right when they weren't home. I should have just flushed it. The best day. No big deal.
Lunchbox
You got to flip the switch. The best dads can. The worst. Not the. The. The. The good dads can't flip that switch. The best dads know how to flip it.
Mina Kimes
Yeah. And so we're driving after we get done with dinner. She's like, I'm sorry. We should have just gone through the drive through like you said. Gone to a park, eating on the, you know, at a park bench. Something like that had been a lot easier. Mike. It's okay. It's okay.
Lunchbox
Hold on. Doesn't matter. With good or bad dads. Dads that don't flip the switch, that's what your kids are going to remember. Dads that do flip the switch. That's what your kids are going to remember.
Mina Kimes
Correct.
Lunchbox
You got to flip the switch.
Mina Kimes
I know, Ray.
Lunchbox
I couldn't find a light bulb.
Mina Kimes
I couldn't find. I couldn't find the switch in the dark. I was frustrated. I was angry. But it's okay. We're on vacation and we Stop in Little Rock for the night. You know what I mean? We're not making very good time. We've only made it five hours. We still got like seven and a half to go. I'm not happy about this. Like, it's been a rough, rough first day. And I said, hey, we got to get up early and we got to go.
Lunchbox
Gotta find a spot. HBO, 32 inch screen.
Mina Kimes
And we get in, we get to bed, and we get up and we hit the road early. 7:30am we are on the road then it takes 30 minutes of chick Fil A. Okay, that's okay. No big deal. That's all right. Not gonna be angry I flipped the switch. I'm in vacation mode.
Lunchbox
My pleasure, kids. Anything else I can do for you?
Mina Kimes
And let me tell you, Ray, we drove so well that second day.
Lunchbox
Why, sure, kid. I will get you an extra sauce.
Mina Kimes
The seven. The seven hours that we had left on a road trip starting on Saturday morning, we only stopped twice. Only stopped twice. Ray, call the cops. It was amazing. We get to the lake, we go swimming, we stay up late. It was pure chaos at the lake. It was so fun.
Lunchbox
All the family arrive at the same time. Or staggered starts. Shotgun finish, staggered starts.
Mina Kimes
My mom, dad, sister, her three kids and batter's box's kid all showed up on Saturday.
Lunchbox
Got it.
Mina Kimes
And then we showed up a few hours after them.
Lunchbox
It's pretty good timing.
Mina Kimes
Yes.
Lunchbox
So you would have never, you would have been there by yourselves? Why would you have won?
Mina Kimes
Well, they would have got there when we were getting there. They. They could have got there Friday if we were getting there Friday. All that. They could have been there earlier if we were going to get there earlier. They just said, okay, you know, you're not here yet. We'll take our time. And so we go swimming, stay up late. Cousins all going crazy, catching. Oh, good to see you. Good to see you. Go to bed, wake up the next day, we go fishing. And let me tell you, they fished more than I've ever seen anybody fish in my life.
Lunchbox
Cabin on the lake or what are we at?
Mina Kimes
Yeah, yeah, we're. We're at a. A house on the lake.
Lunchbox
I mean, we had a Ritz Carlton for all I know.
Mina Kimes
No, no, we're at a little lake, lake house on the lake. And I'm. When I say little, it's a one story, three bedroom, small. Just what you need, run of the mill house.
Lunchbox
I already picture it.
Mina Kimes
No fanciness, nothing.
Lunchbox
And you picture my wife's lingerie in the corner of the bed.
Mina Kimes
No, not with all that family around. There's no lingerie happening. And one thing about the lake is you don't. You don't shower or anything like that. You don't do any of that. So there's no lingerie happening. The kids are sleeping on the floor. We got an air mattress. And the air mattress, I realized the kids are getting too big to fit three on one air mattress. So then we had to rotate nights. Each kid got to sleep in the bed because two people could only fit on the air mattress.
Lunchbox
So then what? Oh, a kid would come into bed with you and your wife?
Mina Kimes
Yes.
Lunchbox
That's a lot.
Mina Kimes
And the youngest one is the worst because I don't know what he does when he's sleeping. He does a damn circus act.
Lunchbox
Cat gets in the. Tries to get in the king size California king. I'm like, get out.
Mina Kimes
Flips around, kicking in the head. He's upside down. I don't know how he turns all these ways, but he does. It's super annoying.
Lunchbox
What are you doing? Mouth tape.
Mina Kimes
No.
Lunchbox
Oh, a lot of them women are doing that now.
Mina Kimes
No, I'm not doing mouth tape. I just sleep, dude. I just close my eyes, go to sleep.
Lunchbox
Bazer's doing the mouth tape. So if you try talking to her after 10pm Take off the mouth tape. I can't understand what you're saying. I only have a couple more mouth tapes. I can't do this too much or it loses its stick. Great. Please don't put on the mouth tape before 10pm yeah.
Mina Kimes
So I'm going to tell you what happened. We fish, nothing exciting. Go swimming. Then cousin Andrew shows up, and I'll tell you all about it right after this.
Lunchbox
Are we allowed to guess?
Mina Kimes
Yeah.
Lunchbox
You got touched by a bear.
Mina Kimes
No. No bears. No bears, dude. We swim and it's time for lunch. And we're getting, you know, lunch together. Sandwiches. Do you want ham or turkey? Ham. All right. Ham. Ham. Hey, babe, can you hand me the pickles? Sure. Sweetie gets the pickles out of the fridge, and we're talking a large jar of pickles. Okay. Not, you know, huge, like where you got the full size pickles. These are sandwich sliced pickles. And she hands it to me, and I guess I'm not really paying attention.
Lunchbox
Classic.
Mina Kimes
And it's kind of wet from the, you know, the condensation in the fridge.
Lunchbox
Very moist at camp.
Mina Kimes
Yeah. And it's a glass jar, and I grab it, and I guess I really didn't grab it all the way.
Lunchbox
Yes, Chef. Yes, Chef. Yes, chef.
Mina Kimes
Great show.
Lunchbox
Never seen it. Just know the reference.
Mina Kimes
Got it. It goes slipping through my hands.
Lunchbox
Oh, what? Dude, what are you. Who's a guy that fumbles a lot, but DeMarco Murray.
Mina Kimes
And shatters on the ground, but it's heading for my right foot.
Lunchbox
Kids, get out of the kitchen. My dad would have sent us out of the house for five hours minimum.
Mina Kimes
I guess it was really heading for my left foot. So I pull my left foot back and up in the air. Just misses my right foot. But the glass shatters.
Lunchbox
That would have been a major artery.
Mina Kimes
And my wife's like, oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh. Are you okay? And I was like, no, there's glass on my foot.
Lunchbox
Oh, no.
Mina Kimes
She's like, you stepped on glass? I was like, no, no, no. I did not step down. The glass shot into my foot after I dropped the jar.
Lunchbox
Oh.
Mina Kimes
And she's like, are you sure? And she's like, are you sure? And I said, yeah, I am sure.
Lunchbox
Wait, why is she questioning you at this time of pain?
Mina Kimes
And she looks. She goes, I don't. Oh, I see the blood. And I'm like, yeah, it's there. I can feel it. And my sister, luckily, is a nurse, and she starts looking at it, and there's just blood coming out of my foot.
Lunchbox
Right. What point was she going to believe you when the gush started to shoot her in the eye?
Mina Kimes
I don't know. I don't know why she's questioning.
Lunchbox
I'm on my last breath. Are you sure you got hit with glass?
Mina Kimes
And I'm like, yes, I'm sure I got hit with glass. And it is. I'm in pain.
Lunchbox
I got to change your voice. Her voice sounds like Arnold. And are you sure you got hit with glass? Yes, honey, I'm losing consciousness. Are you sure?
Mina Kimes
And so then I have to sprawl out on the countertop.
Lunchbox
Are the kids seeing this?
Mina Kimes
Oh, my gosh, yes.
Lunchbox
Oh, we got a live version of.
Mina Kimes
ER I mean, look at the floor. Oh, you're not lying.
Lunchbox
And was anybody concerned about the pickles being lost?
Mina Kimes
The kids were like, dad, can I have pickles? I'm like, no, guys, there's no pickles allowed to be had. There's glass everywhere, guys. So here I am. Look at me, dude. I'm up on the counter, and they're trying to do operation on my foot Brute. And my sister looks at it, goes, oh, my.
Lunchbox
What was your dad, the night nurse, what was he doing?
Mina Kimes
I don't know what he was doing.
Lunchbox
He was comforting you.
Mina Kimes
No, My mom was comforting me.
Lunchbox
Your dad gave you a pillow to clench.
Mina Kimes
And I mean, I did give a shout out to St. Jude. And then my mom is wearing a St. Jude shirt in the picture.
Lunchbox
Oh, that's great.
Mina Kimes
Yeah. And I am like. My sister goes, oh, my God, that's in there deep.
Lunchbox
How does that just fall in there? It's beyond me.
Mina Kimes
That's what I'm saying.
Lunchbox
That denies gravity.
Mina Kimes
And the physics of it is just crazy to me that I didn't even step and that it could shoot, that it had that much velocity.
Lunchbox
Yep, that's what it was.
Mina Kimes
That it went so deep into my.
Lunchbox
Foot that I. Velocity. Hitter, pitcher, pitch, velocity.
Mina Kimes
I'm gushing blood right there on the floor. And so I'm laying there and my sister.
Lunchbox
Has anybody called 91 1?
Mina Kimes
Not yet.
Lunchbox
That's America right there.
Mina Kimes
And my sister's like, man, it is really deep. And I'm. And she goes, I can't believe you're letting me dig this deep into your foot. And I'm like, how deep could it be? And then she's like, oh, I got a little piece. I'm like, there's still more in there. I feel it. I can feel there's more glass in there. And so she is sitting there digging, like, 15, 20 minutes of digging in my foot.
Lunchbox
Dude, what are you, Tatum and Brown, man? You sound like Kyrie right now.
Mina Kimes
And she's like, it's too deep. I can't get it. You're going to have to go. Wait.
Lunchbox
Die.
Mina Kimes
No, I'm about to go to the minor emergency, the urgent care.
Lunchbox
Could you tell her not to use terminology, like, we're going to have to let you go.
Mina Kimes
Right?
Lunchbox
What is she talking about?
Mina Kimes
And my middle son is like, dad, are you okay? I'm like, yeah, man, it's just a little glass, but just tell me the game.
Lunchbox
Tell me the score of the concaf game.
Mina Kimes
And so cousin Andrew, who came to hang out with the family and see the kids, everything, he's like, I guess I'll take you because your wife needs to stay here with your kids.
Lunchbox
I guess he could have been a little bit more helpful.
Mina Kimes
And.
Lunchbox
Hey, man, I was just picking my ass. I guess I'll drive you to the hospital. What was he doing? There's no WI Fi.
Mina Kimes
So. Well, he was gonna swim. I mean, hang out with the kids, man.
Lunchbox
Hey, man, I was about to go do another lap out there in the front pool. Plays him back and forth, volleyball.
Mina Kimes
There was no pool, man. There was no pool. And so he's like, all right. So we had to drive into Marble Falls and go to the urgent care and show up, and there's only one person in front of me. So I'm thinking it's going to be in and out quick. I've never been somewhere so slow in my life. I thought the restaurant in Memphis was slow. Good God almighty. We sat there for two hours when there was only one patient in front of me. One patient.
Lunchbox
This core memory. I hope you flip the switch and remember you're on vacation.
Mina Kimes
I remember. I'm on vacation.
Lunchbox
The kids are gonna remember how dad.
Mina Kimes
Was yelling, my cousin. There was stuff he had to get at the grocery store for the. You know, because we were running out of stuff already on day one. He went to get more pickles.
Lunchbox
So we're gonna get groceries before we get you to urgent care.
Mina Kimes
No, he's already got me at the urgent care. He's like, oh, man, there's only one patient in front of you. I guess I can just run to the, you know, H E b, get some groceries and come back and you'll be out.
Lunchbox
I'm not calling it urgent anymore. They took you to care?
Mina Kimes
Yeah, they took me to care. Exactly. And I'm there just sitting and sitting, and he comes back, hey, are you Jason Gibbles?
Lunchbox
How's it going?
Mina Kimes
And the lady calls me back, and I'm like, I'm limping. She's like, oh, glass in your foot. She goes, let me get you a wheelchair.
Lunchbox
They take your clothes off.
Mina Kimes
And I'm like, no, no, I don't need a wheelchair.
Lunchbox
And she goes, wait, did they think some glass could have been in your tank?
Mina Kimes
No.
Lunchbox
Okay.
Mina Kimes
And she was like, we've ruled out all areas because I'm just weather. Because it's. It's up by my toes is where the. The glasses. So I'm walking on my heel.
Lunchbox
Okay. It's painful, but continue.
Mina Kimes
And she's like, it would really make me feel better if you got a wheelchair.
Lunchbox
Oh, my gosh, we're getting old. Right in front of my eyes.
Mina Kimes
And I'm like, I'm okay. She goes, no, no, I. I need to put you in a wheelchair just in case.
Lunchbox
We need to get this guy a wheelchair ramp at I heart.
Mina Kimes
So, Ray, she puts me in a wheelchair, and I'm like, all right, dude.
Lunchbox
What if somebody leaked that photo?
Mina Kimes
She literally wheels me three doors, and it's like, all right. And I'm like, this is it. And she was like, yeah, yeah, hold on, hold on. I was like, I'll get out right here. And she goes, no, no, no. And she reverses it back up, turns it and wheels me in. And I'm like, I can get out here. She goes, no, no, let me get you closer to the bed.
Lunchbox
All over a Vlasic shard.
Mina Kimes
All over a Vlasic shard, dude. And she wheels me right up next to the bed. And then she comes up and here, let me get your arm just in case you fall. And I'm like, I am not a 90 year old woman that's about to fall over. I have a piece of glass in my foot.
Lunchbox
Was she hot?
Mina Kimes
No. Oh. And so she goes, yeah, let me.
Lunchbox
Just grab your chest. I'll feel a lot more safe.
Mina Kimes
Oh, I fell. Oh, my gosh. Sorry about that. Thank you for that, the support being there. And she's like, oh, you know, we're gonna have you soak your foot for five minutes and then the doctor will be right in. 26 minutes later, I'm still soaking my foot when the doctor comes in. Five minutes turned into 26. Cousin Andrew's back from the store. He got my mom yogurt. He got some other cold items. They are roasting in the car because it is taking so long.
Lunchbox
Hey, this cousin Andrew. Yeah. Does anybody have any prescription medicine I need to pick up? I got the time. Oh, you need me with a mailbox? Perfect. No worries.
Mina Kimes
So he's like, I'm gonna run to the paint store across the street.
Lunchbox
Sherwin Williams. We need to touch up that door before we leave the Airbnb.
Mina Kimes
Actually, he was looking. He was going to Benjamin Moore because the type of paint they needed, that Benjamin Moore is the only one that carried that color. And it just happened to be across the street from the care, not urgent care. And it had a big open sign on the window. So he's like, I'll be right back. And he was gone for about six minutes. He comes back, goes, well, it says open, but it's not open. And then the doctor comes in and goes, all right, let me take a look. And he goes, oh, man, that's deep. And he starts to dig. And I say, oh. He goes, let me go ahead and.
Lunchbox
Numb your foot before you go on. Are we losing blood? Because what you showed me, the picture in the kitchen, looked like a significant amount. A pint, if you will. Have we been able to stop the bleeding?
Mina Kimes
We've been able to stop the bleeding. We got it bandaged up at the.
Lunchbox
House because, I mean, there hasn't been a lot of urgency. If you were bleeding Right?
Mina Kimes
And so I am face down on the chair. He pulls down the big light, and he starts digging in there. And I'm, like, twitching. I'm like, oh, I don't know about that. So then he goes and gets the big needle and numbs it. And he's like, I'm gonna have to cut it open more.
Lunchbox
I gotta be able to do something with colors where they can just tell where it is.
Mina Kimes
I'm like, what? And he goes, yeah, it's in there so deep I can't reach it. And I'm like, oh, my gosh. So he slices some more of my foot open and is digging. He goes, I can feel something. I can feel it. And then he finally got it out.
Lunchbox
Oh, sheesh.
Mina Kimes
And I was like, all right. And he goes, I'm about to stitch up your foot. I said, what, like football? It's that big of a cut. So he sewed it up, doc, am.
Lunchbox
I going to lose it all?
Mina Kimes
And I told him. I looked at him, I said, man, I'm on vacation. So I'm gonna be honest with you, Doc. I'm not gonna stay out of the lake. So just start me on the antibiotics now, because if it's gonna get infected, I need to beat it. And he goes, I gotta be honest with you, man. I don't think the lake water is gonna hurt it at all. You go, have a good vacation.
Lunchbox
That's probably not the best advice.
Mina Kimes
I'm like, I don't know if I trust you, Doc, but okay, whatever. So that was it. That was my trip to the er. Man, who.
Lunchbox
Who did you say dropped the jar? I just wanted to go back real quick, ask one final question. You or your wife? You dropped it.
Mina Kimes
Me.
Lunchbox
Okay. So I was going to say, are you sure your wife wasn't trying to kill you?
Mina Kimes
No, it was definitely me. She handed it to me, and I grabbed it and I turned to put it on the counter. Right.
Lunchbox
Except for yes. The next day, the coffee tasted a little bitter, like she put some Visine in it.
Mina Kimes
But I don't drink coffee.
Lunchbox
She was trying to kill me.
Mina Kimes
All weekend, she kept saying, here, drink this coffee. Huh? I don't drink coffee. What the hell?
Lunchbox
Hey, how's it going, Sarah? Yeah, this Sun SOB won't go down. He won't drink the coffee. I tried to kill him with the plastic shard. What do you think I should do next? Have you tried putting a pickle on his dick?
Mina Kimes
Have you tried hooking him with a fish hook? I mean, that. That'll get him every Time. And let me tell you. So I got stitched. I come back home and everybody celebrates me. And that was my trip to the er Kids will never forget. We'll take a break. We'll be right back. And I mean, I got more, but I need to hear some Miami stories. I feel like people don't want to just hear about my vacation, but I got so many stories. Yeah, that was on. That was on Sunday, dude. And I mean, it just. It went downhill from there. Do you need to save it? What? What's wrong?
Lunchbox
No, no, no, no. Oh, man.
Mina Kimes
Are you trying to pick which one's the best? Oh, man. No, man.
Lunchbox
Thongs. Thongs in Miami. Can I just address this?
Mina Kimes
Yeah, please.
Lunchbox
And topless beaches. So our friend. What is Miami known for?
Mina Kimes
Topless beaches.
Lunchbox
Okay, so our friend sends us this. Guys, we gotta get better with these screenshots randomly. She's our good friend Heather. She comes over all the time and she sends us this going topless and nude sunbathing in Miami. And it says topless sunbathe. This is an article from Miami Tour Company. It says topless sunbathing in United States is forbidden. However, Miami beach is the exception where women are allowed to sunbathe topless on the beach between First street and 16th Street. Our hotel was on 16th Street.
Mina Kimes
Let's go.
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Mina Kimes
And then it says, so is bays are interested in the topless sunbathing.
Lunchbox
I actually low key asked her and she said that she would have done a third thong if we found the right spot.
Mina Kimes
Got it.
Lunchbox
But. But then it says there's also a clothing optional beach at north end of Haulover beach park, which people are completely naked. Okay, so this is just me addressing the topless sunbathing in Miami. It's complete bull crap. Nobody's topless there. There's not one topless chick. Oh, we from right. We were at a nice hotel, the Richard. We didn't intend for this to be a rich. But we can get into that story at some point. Never intended for this to be rich rich. It turned rich rich quick. So those places have no. No thongs. They have no topless.
Mina Kimes
Oh.
Lunchbox
So 16th.
Mina Kimes
I went out.
Lunchbox
I said, hey, Bazer, I'm going to go out, hit the beach, go check out this topless sunbathing. There's no topless sunbathing. I was on 16th Street. I can tell you right now. The article says 1st to 16th. 16th street has no topless women. There were thongs though.
Mina Kimes
Lots of them. There was a lot of thongs.
Lunchbox
Not specifically right in front of ours. But 15th, 14th, 13th, because I walked down a little bit, got a drink. You can walk the beach there with a drink. It was thong tong.
Mina Kimes
Thong, Thong, thong.
Lunchbox
Bazer said she had brought one. I don't necessarily know if it was the thong. It might have been more the whale tail. She said she would have could have been talked into it. Never had enough beach days. A little bit of rain in Miami, apparently. Oh, I learned that the hard way. Spring up storms. So truckers, if you guys are curious. Thongs. Yes. No topless chicks in Miami. That is from the 70s when Scarface was alive. That's my story. There's five others. We can get to them whenever you want. I wanted to make note of these. And everybody can pick them. So it is the $5,000 overcharge.
Mina Kimes
Oh.
Lunchbox
A list. College quarterback that's playing this year. Caught doing this at the pool. Something illegal.
Mina Kimes
Got it.
Lunchbox
Tom Brady at a sister hotel. Spotted doing this. I went to a return of the restaurant Dick's, but it's not called Dick's and they're rude. And it was the worst experience of my life. But it's the new version of Dicks.
Mina Kimes
But it was the worst experience of your life.
Lunchbox
Worst experience because I hate dicks. Why do I want to go to a restaurant where people are dicks? There's that story. This one. This one is the pasta sauce was made by Rouse.
Mina Kimes
Yeah.
Lunchbox
Went to the original Rao's pasta sauce restaurant.
Mina Kimes
Was it delicious?
Lunchbox
I was gonna give you my review. That's the tease. Oh, and then the return of stanchion guy. Oh, I mean, we got stories all week, folks. And then, I mean, this one doesn't even. I don't even know how to tease this one. My wife booked this hotel. This stuff. So the entire week. This isn't even a tease. But the entire week the staff called me her last name. Oh, I was Mr. Bidwell the entire week. Like my late. My last name Slater. Oh, Mr. Bidwell, thank you for staying with us. Not my name. My name is senor slater. Thank you, Mr. Bidwell. Mr. Bidwell, have you enjoyed your stay with us?
Mina Kimes
I have.
Lunchbox
My name's Slater. So is hers. I have no idea why you're calling me Bidwell. Thank you. So however you book it, they're going to call you that the entire week. Every department at every breakfast, at every coffee shop. Because they pull up your room and it always says bidwell. Thank you so much, Mr. Bidwell. Good morning. My name is not Bidwell. Slater Senior Slater. Thank you. Thank you, guys. Oh, so there's your stories. We can hit one. None. Push to Wednesday. I gave you the Thong song. Thong to thong, thong, thong. I rest my case. And I'll hang up and listen.
Mina Kimes
It's very disappointing that you were staying on 16th. You had me built up that you were about to see boobs galore and it was about to be the most amazing beach. And it turned out there was nothing. So now.
Lunchbox
And I ran all the way to around. Because I would go the street all the way around fourth Street. So unless the breasts are on the beach, which they're not. I checked. Unless the breasts are on the street. They're not. I checked. They must be on a street. Either Washington or Collins, because I checked the entire quarter mile to the beach for breasts and there were none. So unless some. If somebody's got some free time, check Collins Avenue. Check Washington, because that must be where the breasts are. Because my name Bennett. And I didn't see him. My name see him. I didn't. I didn't spot. Spot him.
Mina Kimes
Hey, my name's Bob. There are no boobs.
Lunchbox
My name's Totem. I didn't spot him.
Mina Kimes
There you go. So I want to hear about this quarterback.
Lunchbox
Okay. What was my tease on that one?
Mina Kimes
Doing something illegal at the pool.
Lunchbox
Okay, So I can never name this one. I maybe can tell you.
Mina Kimes
Wait, you're going to tell me that? Hold on.
Lunchbox
It is an illegal activity spotted at a pool. Absolutely. I will not be naming them. I said a list.
Mina Kimes
You said a list. Starting quarterback this year. Yeah, I know it is.
Lunchbox
You can narrow it down to the top 10 and you can do the math.
Mina Kimes
I got an idea.
Lunchbox
So the pool boy, he and me became real. Sure.
Mina Kimes
And.
Lunchbox
What? No, but that is top 10. He said Carson Beck. We can roll that one off.
Mina Kimes
But that's Miami.
Lunchbox
He's a good call, but he's probably 21. That's where the story goes. They were underage drinking.
Mina Kimes
Oh, no.
Lunchbox
So at this pool, this hotel pool I was at, very, very high end. Did we intend for it to be high end? No, the high end came to us. We. We don't try to go rich.
Mina Kimes
Rich.
Lunchbox
But the pool boy said this quarterback on spring break was getting housed. A list. College quarterback starting this year, top 10.
Mina Kimes
Arch Manning was in Miami for spring break. Allegedly.
Lunchbox
You can say all the names of people. I'm not going to confirm nor deny. But this quarterback was with his boys. No idea really their age. But the pool boy told me definitely underage house and some drinks on spring break at the. At the at the hotel. So if. If you're a star quarterback is what I'm hearing, you can drink underage guys. There's no rules.
Mina Kimes
When you're.
Lunchbox
When you're in the freaking. The sheets party are in the streets. You know what I'm saying? They can do what they want with this nil money. And he said they were having a great time.
Mina Kimes
So what I hear is he was being a college student on spring break doing nothing wrong.
Lunchbox
That's illegal to drink under the age of 21.
Mina Kimes
You are acting like this dude was committing murder at the pool. The dude was being a college.
Lunchbox
That is how Arnold was killed.
Mina Kimes
This dude was enjoying some brewskis with his boys and you are hanging him out to dry like he did something so terrible that nobody else does in this world. So he had a Couple beers under 21.
Lunchbox
More than a couple.
Mina Kimes
Who cares?
Lunchbox
He was getting drunk.
Mina Kimes
That doesn't matter.
Lunchbox
He was sauteed.
Mina Kimes
It's okay to be sauteed.
Lunchbox
He was slobber knockered.
Mina Kimes
Slobber knocker. Tipsy, Turvy derby. I don't care. The dude deserves a break from the rigorous studies of academia.
Lunchbox
He was three sheets to the win.
Mina Kimes
And how windy was it in Miami?
Lunchbox
It was sheedy and windy and three sheety.
Mina Kimes
Are you going to name the quarterback? Because all he was doing was drinking? Get out of here. That's not a story.
Lunchbox
People can look it up. My point is this. It wasn't the illegal thing because you batted that down. Why? Why are we not worried about white and blue games or whatever that they got or whatever the game they were probably already over.
Mina Kimes
What?
Lunchbox
What happened to these one though? Whatever they do. The spring game. Spring game?
Mina Kimes
What? What?
Lunchbox
We're not training for that.
Mina Kimes
They probably already trained. Ray. Here's the thing about college athletes and professional athletes. When they're younger, they can drink 16, 17 beers and be fine by 6am when they got a report to the locker room.
Lunchbox
Well, what if they're only selling Stella Artois? 6% alcohol, mother.
Mina Kimes
Then he probably had 16. Stellar Artois, you martyred nutter.
Lunchbox
Dos Equis, mother.
Mina Kimes
Then they were drinking Dos Equis. Is that what the quarterback liked to drink? Did you get a report on the beer he liked to drink? Because you told me it was an A lister and you built me up like you were about to break some news. And then you won't even tell me the quarterback. You won't even tell the nation. So the story falls flat when you don't include a name.
Lunchbox
So what I'M saying with this is. This is not out in the media. This quarterback likes to party that he had to. He was feeding for this alcohol.
Mina Kimes
This.
Lunchbox
This. This bud, this suds in a bucket so much that he had to get housed. As the kids are calling. As the kids are calling it. He was cooked. So you're telling me he's putting his alcohol before his football. And I think that affects the team this year. And if you want it out off air, I'll give it to you for $20. But that's my story, and I'll hang up and listen.
Mina Kimes
Yeah, off air. Tell me Arch. Got it. Here, Ray.
Lunchbox
Here's 20.
Mina Kimes
Here's $20.
Lunchbox
Here's 20 for your crappy story.
Mina Kimes
We're gonna take a break after that. We'll be right back.
Lunchbox
Dude, you don't like my pool boy? I get personal relations with a pool boy.
Mina Kimes
Yeah, I like it, but the. The whole audience is there going, who is it? Who is it? Who is it? I'm not going to reveal who it is. I'm not. I'm not.
Lunchbox
You can look it up if I said top 10. Check out the top 10 teams in the country. Oregon, Penn State, Georgia. Or are they up there? Alabama, Tennessee, Nico Imam, Texas.
Mina Kimes
So after I got surgery. You know what I mean? Go back to the house. And on that Monday, I mean, the kids are fishing. So fun. One of the dogs. There's a pole laying there on the ground. Grabs the bobber and starts running, running through the yard, dragging the pole. And I'm like, whoa, stop, stop, stop. The dog has been hooked in the leg from the bobber. From the. He got the bobber in his mouth, and he's running, so the hook is in his leg, so we got to lay him down. And we're trying to get it out. And the barb is just so far in there, we can't get it out. We got to get the pliers, and we got to cut it once. Still doesn't come out. Cut the thing twice. We had to cut it three times before we could get it out of its lake.
Lunchbox
Lake life sounds like an injury waiting to happen.
Mina Kimes
It was a lot of injuries. And so then that night, we had promised one of the twins. He had been begging for s'. Mores. So we're gonna do the s'. Mores. Whoa.
Lunchbox
You have twins?
Mina Kimes
My sister does. And so we light up the fire. We're doing the. We're ready to go. All right, everybody get the crackers. Get the marshmallows. And we're like, listen, Guys, be careful. Carry them with them pointing down. You don't want to stab anybody, you don't want to burn anybody, everything. And they do the first thing of marshmallows. And batter's box son does his marshmallow, gets it nice and hot, turns. And the 20 minute, everybody, it's batter's box here with the batter's box kid. The kid that had been begging to do s' mores gets the from batter's box kid turns with the marshmallow right on his arm. We got our first burn of the night. It has been 15 seconds of doing s' mores and the kid has a burn on his arm and he has melted. He pulls it off, there's melted marshmallow there. His arm is starting to bubble up. We gotta run inside, get some cold, get some water on it.
Lunchbox
Neosporin.
Mina Kimes
Neosporin Rapid.
Lunchbox
Ray, we could have used you out there.
Mina Kimes
So we have a dog get hooked. We got a guy suffering burns from s'. Mores.
Lunchbox
Who's the guy that said he would drive you?
Mina Kimes
Cousin Andrew.
Lunchbox
Cousin Andrew. Well, I guess I'll take the kid that has third degree burns. Yeah, why don't you do that instead of wading in two feet of water and looking at minnows for the third day?
Mina Kimes
Well, cousin Andrew was only there for a few hours. He was out. He drove back home getting knocked. He drives back home. But he did come back on Monday with his wife, brought his dogs, let them run around, and that was a blast. But he left before the s'. Mores. And so we're like, all right, guys, this is it. We gotta go to bed. It's 11 o'. Clock. So we go to bed. We had one burn, one hook of dog in the with the fishing lure and we go to bed. And I wake up at probably 6am and I feel like my stomach is about to explode. I'm in pain. I have stomach pains, hunger pains like you wouldn't believe. So I just lay there in the fetal position. I fall back asleep for 30 minutes and then I wake up to hear blah, blah, and I text my sister and I'm like, hey, your daughter's throwing up. And she goes, sorry, I'm outside with one of my sons. He's throwing up also.
Lunchbox
You don't think they got into daddy's brown liquor, do you?
Mina Kimes
I'm like, oh, my gosh. And so I sit there for a little bit and while she's throwing up, I was like, I gotta go, I gotta go. And I run. I mean, I waddle to the other bathroom, and I explode. Straight liquid. And I'm sitting on the. Sitting on the toilet.
Lunchbox
Sheesh.
Mina Kimes
I yelled at my wife. I said, hey, give me some towels. I'm about to. I'm gonna pass out.
Lunchbox
You're gonna wipe with towels?
Mina Kimes
No, I'm about to vomit because I. I started getting the sweaty feeling on the back of my neck.
Lunchbox
And that's who got mud on this towel. I'm about to shower with it, and.
Mina Kimes
I'm like, I'm gonna. I know I'm gonna throw up. I'm gonna pass out. So my wife runs, throws some towels. I can build a fortress so I don't hit my head on anything. And I get over the toilet. I flushed it first, and I don't throw up.
Lunchbox
You guys treated this Airbnb house like a frat house, dude.
Mina Kimes
And then every time I burped that day, Vlasik, it tasted like. It tasted like throw up. I never threw up, but I had the RIA all day.
Lunchbox
So you just had that at the top of your bays are the same thing from margaritas.
Mina Kimes
Oh, my God, dude.
Lunchbox
She said she just couldn't get it down where you could drink.
Mina Kimes
I couldn't get. It would just burp. Oh, that tastes like throw up. All day. All freaking day.
Lunchbox
Did you think about a fire burner? You can do like a fireball shot.
Mina Kimes
I thought about sticking my finger down the throat and just making myself vomit. Right?
Lunchbox
I thought about jumping.
Mina Kimes
And then I go to bed Tuesday night and I wake up at like 3:30 in the morning and I mean, I've never had stomach cramps that hurt so bad. I sit on the toilet for 45 minutes, just like a raging river. And then I think, oh, my God, I don't know. I'm gonna throw up. So I go outside because I'm like, if I'm gonna pass out throwing up, at least I'm in the yard.
Lunchbox
At least the bears behind me.
Mina Kimes
At least I'm in me. At least I'll pass out in the grass. So I go out.
Lunchbox
Dude, if you pass out in bear territory in the grass, they'll come right up behind you.
Mina Kimes
There are no bears in Texas. Oh, you thought I'm not in Pigeon Force.
Lunchbox
You said cabin. I thought pigeon dude. I kept thinking a bear was gonna touch you.
Mina Kimes
The whole time I'm out there on all fours in the grass.
Lunchbox
Who let the dog out? Oh, wait, that's lunch.
Mina Kimes
And I mean, I forgot to tell you, my sister's kid, he's such a. He was dedicated to fishing like we're sitting there fishing Tuesday morning after he had thrown up and had diarrhea that he had his pole in the water and he was leaned over the dock vomiting in the water.
Lunchbox
That's actually good for the chum.
Mina Kimes
And he caught three fish in about a 20 minute period. It was unbelievable. And then he, and then he'd catch a fish. So I, and I don't. And I'm out in the grass and there's too many bugs and I'm like, all right, I gotta go back inside. So I go in the bathroom floor and I am stretched out, face down, just trying to stretch my stomach out because my cramps hurt so bad.
Lunchbox
Smart.
Mina Kimes
And I go to bed and the next day it's gone.
Lunchbox
It happens. It comes 24 hour bug.
Mina Kimes
I don't know if it was a bug. I don't know if we, if me and the two kids ate something that no one else ate and we had a little food poisoning or we just had a bug, but it was abs solutely miserable.
Lunchbox
Stomach virus. Hook, Vlastic shard, burn victim.
Mina Kimes
And then Wednesday camp Life is a movie. Batter's box is finally going to show up. He is finally going to arrive and he shows up at like 4:00'. Clock.
Lunchbox
Does anybody need some Neosporin or band aids?
Mina Kimes
Oh, we need everything, man. And we are just. It's out of control. Crazy. I mean, kids. Hooking kids with fishing poles. My, my dad might be the most patient person I've ever met in my life now because I don't know how kids do it.
Lunchbox
Ray, he knows how to turn the switch.
Mina Kimes
But I, I've decided that if you have a job that requires patience, if you want to find out if someone is going to be okay for that job, don't interview them. There's no need to interview them. Don't even ask them about their skills, their personality, anything interesting. You just send them fishing with three kids, six and under for two days and if they can survive that, you hire them for the job. Because these kids.
Lunchbox
Wow, that's genius.
Mina Kimes
I have never seen people get fishing poles tingled as much as these kids did and as often as they did. I mean, you would hand them the pole and 30 seconds later, like, I'm twisted on the dock or I'm tied up on this, or I'm tied around his pole and I mean, it's like the biggest knot you've ever seen. I'm like, I just put a worm on your pole. How did you do that?
Lunchbox
You sounded like my dad.
Mina Kimes
It was unbelievable.
Lunchbox
Ray, I couldn't flip the switch again.
Mina Kimes
I can't tell you how many times my dad had to cut the string and redo everything because those kids got so many poles tangled so many. Unbelievable. But batter's box shows up, and I gotta say, Wednesday, no injuries. We went one day injury free. No accidents, no nothing.
Lunchbox
I wish the NBA could say the same.
Mina Kimes
Thursday morning, we had an Achilles. One of batter's box's dogs got a hook at his tail.
Lunchbox
I mean, you guys needed a bottom screen on the ESPN crawl of all the injury report.
Mina Kimes
Got a hook.
Lunchbox
Oh, my gosh. An injury report from people at Lake Life during the Fourth of July. Man cuts off leg mom exposes breast to child. Dude. Bottom line of people at camp.
Mina Kimes
So we had to lay his dog down. We're trying to take it out, and the dog is squelching. So got to go into the vet, and they're like, you're gonna have to drop them off. We're too busy. And they're like, yesterday we had a dog come in with a hook through its mouth.
Lunchbox
They're like, y' all want to just stop fishing and just go out?
Mina Kimes
Yeah. You guys want to, like, put the hooks away? Because you guys seem to, like, get everybody injured.
Lunchbox
Y' all ever heard of Long John Silver's?
Mina Kimes
And so we leave the dog there, and they called back about 4:30 or 2:30 saying, all right. We had to sedate the dog to get it out because it was in there so deep. Luckily, it didn't get any bone. But we're going to need the dog to stay till about 4:30, so it can, you know, come out of, you know, sedation.
Lunchbox
Wheelchair.
Mina Kimes
It was not in a wheelchair. So we got. We got the dog back, and it was just that. I mean, it was an amazing week. And then on the ride home. Ray, you thought we were done put.
Lunchbox
Save it for Friday's podcast. I got Wednesday's podcast covered.
Mina Kimes
No, no, no, save it. This is just a quick one. We get to the hotel and we stop in Texarkana.
Lunchbox
Ray, I'm gonna be real. I pricked up a prostitute.
Mina Kimes
Don't know if any of those exist in Texas. Arcana. We were right there on the state line.
Lunchbox
Well, our boys didn't. Yeah, boys. Any lizards out there, let us know.
Mina Kimes
And baby box one's waking up and he's like, ah, my ear hurts. Ah, he's doing this all night. I'm like, it can't be that bad. Finally, at two in the morning, he's just beside himself.
Lunchbox
Is that your Family's favorite line. Your wife. You got vlastic shards in your foot. He can't be that bad. Maybe that was the only time. The kid earache can't be that bad. At some point, let's just take it for face value. It's that bad.
Mina Kimes
Yeah. And so I'm like, all right, I'm going to go get men's. I'm going to go get some, you know, Motrin or Tylenol for kids. I'll be back. And I Google Walmart. Closed. Walgreens closed. Gas station closed. Oh, 24 hour CVS. All right, cool. It's 2:00am let's go.
Lunchbox
Shouldn't be any meth addicts there looking for.
Mina Kimes
Yeah. Bathroom agent for anything. So I drive the 1.3 miles to the CVS. That's 24 hours. And right there in the front says CBS 24 hours. Perfect. One of the letters is missing.
Lunchbox
Security guys playing on his phone.
Mina Kimes
Park the car, get out.
Lunchbox
Happen to me every time at South Beach. That's why I said the reference will get it.
Mina Kimes
Walk up to the door. This location is currently closed. Your sign right There says open 24 hours. It says 24 hours CVS pharmacy on the Internet. And right there on the freaking sign right there in the parking lot, the big sign on the Roadside, it says, CVS open 24 hours. Yeah, it's 2:15am that would be part of those 24 hours. It has a taped sign on the door. We are currently closed. Ray.
Lunchbox
I'll tell you what. I did pull down my pants and I vomited out the rear.
Mina Kimes
So then I'm like, all right. So I drive around town looking for something. I find a gas station. I'm like, they'll have it.
Lunchbox
You're going for gas station yellow jackets.
Mina Kimes
I'm going for anything with. Hopefully they'll have children. Will they have it at a gas station? Probably not. Yeah.
Lunchbox
It's right next to the motor oil and then those.
Mina Kimes
Yeah.
Lunchbox
Air fresheners.
Mina Kimes
I don't know if they have that at the gas station, but I'm not ready for my kid. I don't think he has it. What it takes.
Lunchbox
We got two moon pies for one if that tickles your fancy. Welcome to Texarkana.
Mina Kimes
I don't know if he is able to take a pill like just an Advil or a Tylenol.
Lunchbox
You folks traveling through or through? Traveling. That was a joke. Laugh when you want.
Mina Kimes
And I pull in the parking lot and I'm about to get out of the car to go in there and look for some Tylenol or Advil for children. Motrin is what they call it. And I surveyed what was going on in that parking lot. I was like, I better not get out of this car. Lizards.
Lunchbox
We found our first lizard.
Mina Kimes
And so I reversed the car, pulled out of there, and I went back to the hotel empty handed. Yeah.
Lunchbox
Guess you didn't find what you were looking for. We're called Texarkana because we're not Texas or Arkansas. I'll see you later. You'll come back? Only place open 24 hours. You fell for that? Cvs. 24 hours.
Mina Kimes
So my advice to you, if you're ever traveling and you're going to be at the Texarkana, the state line, and you're going to need medicine in the middle of night, buy it before you go to bed, man, because nothing is open. Nothing is open. The gas station right there might have been a Sitco. It could have been a shell. Don't remember, but it was. It was not going to be. I don't know. It was not. I don't think it was safe.
Lunchbox
Well, welcome to my truck stop. You want to make an honest woman out of me? You're going to make me keep on being a serpent.
Mina Kimes
And that was our vacation, man.
Lunchbox
You think there were lizards in that parking lot?
Mina Kimes
No, there wasn't lizards.
Lunchbox
Other kinds?
Mina Kimes
Yeah, I mean, it was just. There was a lot going on in that parking lot. Maybe flamingos, I don't know. But there was a lot going on in that parking lot.
Lunchbox
What I noticed now, a lot of the people to 711 by me, it's not your lizards. It's your. It's your flamingos, the male ones. And they're. They're looking for. Not lizards. They're looking for something else. Something that helps with their allergies.
Mina Kimes
Gosh, it was a great vacation. A lot of injury. I mean, it felt like a sitcom, everybody getting hurt. I mean, I was putting a worm on my baby box's hook and for some reason, he yanked the pole. Ah. Hooked me. He got hooked by his cousin.
Lunchbox
Hooked your.
Mina Kimes
No, he hooked my thumb. He got hooked. Baby box got hooked in the armpit by batter's box's son.
Lunchbox
Yeah, they may have been a little too young for the hooks.
Mina Kimes
Batter's box's son caught a turtle.
Lunchbox
That's impressive. Turtle.
Mina Kimes
Yeah, he caught a turtle. We had to reel it in and get it off the hook, which was hard because he kept putting his head inside his shell.
Lunchbox
Yeah. Were you catching releasing or were you cooking them?
Mina Kimes
Catch. And Release what? Who else? I mean, we got so many kids hooked. Like, it was unbelievable how many kids were hooked.
Lunchbox
See, probably not a great Airbnb. They need a dock where you can juts out, and that'll keep you guys from hooking. If you're all on shore, you're going to hook the whole.
Mina Kimes
No, no, they. They. They were on the dock, dude. They were walking around, just. I mean, here's what's funny. This is what's great about kids. They would get a bite. One kid would get a bite, and guess what would happen?
Lunchbox
They'd all drop their poles and go to the.
Mina Kimes
They would all run over there and drop their poles there. So that's how everybody. Because they're like, oh, my gosh. And my. My dad kept going, guys, there are fish everywhere. There are fish everywhere. Or the ones that just want to cast it. And so they take it way over their head. And there's a kid standing three feet behind him. It hooks them and he's like, guys, you've got to leave the worm in the water. I've never seen you catch anybody catch a fish with their worm out of water.
Lunchbox
He's incorrect. Fly fisherman. The flies stay above the water.
Mina Kimes
Okay, I said worm. I didn't say fly.
Lunchbox
Keep your worms in your pants, boys. That's men talk. Don't tell your moms I told you that.
Mina Kimes
But I will say fourth of July. It did rain all day. It did rain all day. And 9pm it finally stopped. We did get to do fireworks and the lake did flood. Like, we were there where the floods were. I saw boats floating down the lake, and I did almost catch a fish on July 5 from the flooded waters. I saw a bobber come up out of the water, go back under the water, and it was flying. It was swimming against the current. So I know there was a fish on there. I got the net, couldn't catch it. We had one kid throw a pole in the water when he was trying to cast. I was holding a dog and I tried to cast and I forgot I was holding the dog. The dog yanked. I dropped a pole in the water. I mean, it was. It was like the Bad News Bears.
Lunchbox
Go to the lake 911 that needs to be reincarnated.
Mina Kimes
Camp life, I mean, it was crazy. It was wild. It was a wild, wild time.
Lunchbox
Coming up on Wednesday's show, return of Stanchion Guy Pasta sauce. The reincarnation of Dick's Restaurant. A quarterback wearing a disguise. I don't know if that's how I teased it. The Last time.
Mina Kimes
No.
Lunchbox
And the $5,000 overcharge on Wednesday's pod.
Mina Kimes
I made my story. My stories may not have been interesting, but I just. That was my vacation, dude. So my foot. My sister, on Saturday morning, before we hit the road, she had to cut my stitches out because she's a nurse.
Lunchbox
If that's not the Sunday scaries, I don't know what is.
Mina Kimes
And my foot still hurts. I don't know how long it's supposed to be sore, but it's been over. It's been almost a week. No, it's been a week, and I still have a sore foot. So I don't know if there's still glass in it or if my foot is just bruised from them digging in it. My cousin said he was watching the doctor and he was taking, like, forceps and, like, peeling the skin back. And he was in there, and he.
Lunchbox
Was like, all right, I can't. I got goosebumps because there's that and the hooks all giving me goosebumps, dude.
Mina Kimes
The hooks. There were so many kids hooked this weekend. I mean, it was un Freaking believable. How many kids got hooked.
Lunchbox
You're doing that there. Billy was up in Dallas getting hooked. Different kind. Oh, it was raining there, too. Torrential downpours.
Mina Kimes
Dude, it was crazy, the amount of.
Lunchbox
Rain that came down.
Mina Kimes
Oh, I mean, it was. It was wild. Yeah.
Lunchbox
It just looked like she. Billy sends me a video, middle finger, and it's just in the background, driving up 65 or 35 up to Dallas, sheets of rain coming down behind him.
Mina Kimes
Garrett's parents, they live in Austin neighborhood next to my parents. They got 3 inches of rain in 15 minutes.
Lunchbox
I saw some. Got 25 inches. Not in that amount of time.
Mina Kimes
He said they were out there trying to keep the water from coming in their back door.
Lunchbox
At that point, it's too late.
Mina Kimes
Unbelievable. I mean, it was crazy. The floods were crazy. We drove through it on the way back. Like, we saw some of the devastation, like our lake, Lake lbj. The docks were under the water. Like, we couldn't swim the last day. There's so much debris. But, yeah, the end of the. And then when we drove from Lake LBJ to Dallas, rain the whole way. The whole freaking way.
Lunchbox
You lucky made it back, boy.
Mina Kimes
There was one time we had to take a road. We had to turn around, not drown. It was over the water because. Over the road. Yeah, it was terrible, but, yeah. How's my vacation, man? I'm sorry. My vacation is not as important. Is not more important than yours, but I feel like your stories are going to be more bangers.
Lunchbox
I just said we'll slot it for Wednesday and then your vacation follow up is Friday.
Mina Kimes
I don't have any vacation follow up.
Lunchbox
Well, you got to come up with something.
Mina Kimes
We did go to the urgent care yesterday was something that happened at one.
Lunchbox
Of the gas stations I don't really want to talk about till Friday.
Mina Kimes
Now, baby box does have an ear infection, so he was not faking the injury. He was not up, you know, exaggerating the pain. He does have an ear infection, so.
Lunchbox
Dude, it was funny you talked about cvs, because the one I went to right next to it, CVS.
Mina Kimes
I was open 24 hours.
Lunchbox
24 hours. Because I go there at 3am when I'd wake up thinking I had a radio job. Oh, I'm on vacation. I forgot. So I'll go get Gatorades and stuff. Every time I was propositioned.
Mina Kimes
Huh?
Lunchbox
Most of the time by men. Oh, even more interesting, right?
Mina Kimes
I'm going to tell you what. We kept the worm business in business. We bought probably 30 boxes of worms.
Lunchbox
Actually, I'm incorrect. Most of the time. Didn't know if it was manual.
Mina Kimes
Oh, all right. That's a long pod, dude. That was long.
Lunchbox
I'll cut it in half. Put one on one Monday, one Wednesday.
Mina Kimes
Yeah, it's my fault, man. That vacation pod, it's always long. But yeah, it was great to see the family, though, dude. It was really fun that fishing right there.
Lunchbox
Last time you'll ever do it.
Mina Kimes
No, they. They. They were so. They loved it so much, dude. They. They were fishing every minute. They. Hey, can we go fish if we weren't swimming? They wanted to go fishing.
Lunchbox
But my point is this. You never know the last time you're gonna play wiffle ball, and you never know the last time you're gonna go fishing. I. I think the last time I went was when I was 12 at a church retreat with my dad around a lake. That was 28 years ago. Never been fishing since.
Mina Kimes
I mean, we brought the wiffle balls. They did. Dad did throw some pitches to the kids. So did cousin Andrew. My sister bought this cool thing. It's like a water tee. Like, you hook it up and. And then you hit the ball. But we never even got it out. Dude, we had so much going on. We played some great games. My mom found this one game, it's called sock hockey. You cut noodles in half and you have a beach ball and you hit the beach ball, and that's how you play. It's like On a. I like it. So fun.
Lunchbox
What do you do for the nets?
Mina Kimes
You tie noodles together and you put them over. It's like an arch.
Lunchbox
You think that could have been what gave you the reverse diarrhea when you took one of those to the anus?
Mina Kimes
No, I don't. I don't think that was it at all. But yeah, I mean, I'm just telling you. And we caught some big fish, dude, it wasn't small. I mean, look at this fish. That's a big fish.
Lunchbox
Yeah, Pops does look pretty patient there.
Mina Kimes
I mean, just big fish after big fish.
Lunchbox
I mean, was there a final tally or does it all just blend together?
Mina Kimes
I couldn't. I couldn't tell you how many. And it's so funny because we had to send them in and hey, caught another fish. Caught another fish. And then we played. Oh, another good game we played was this ping pong game. You get the like 24 pack of eggs, the crate carton, and you put it on the table and you play ping pong balls. You bounce them and you got to get four in a row.
Lunchbox
Yeah. So it's actually a little jit game now.
Mina Kimes
I mean, look at the kids. They were into it. It was kids versus adults and they were going bananas.
Lunchbox
But you realize it's an actual game.
Mina Kimes
No, I didn't.
Lunchbox
They make boards for and stuff. Me and Bazer play it when we go to her parents.
Mina Kimes
And your boy caught a couple fish.
Lunchbox
John, man, you have no tally.
Mina Kimes
No, dude, I couldn't even tell you.
Lunchbox
I mean, would you get like 80?
Mina Kimes
I would say like 40.
Lunchbox
You caught 40 fish? Yeah, cuz I believe my family's record at Hog park. Me, my sister, brother and dad caught 22.
Mina Kimes
See, and here's Hawker Gray yard they got. It was great, dude. Oh, wow. I mean, it was so fun. They were. I mean, boom. Yeah, fantastic. We played a lot of Go Fish. And then we brought back the game that we used to play. I mean, we used to play this all the time. Racco. Oh, my gosh, guys, that is a game from the past. It was in the closet and we were like, what? And we played that every night.
Lunchbox
Card game.
Mina Kimes
Yeah. So fun, dude.
Lunchbox
Rock you.
Mina Kimes
I really wish I knew how many fish we caught. I really do wish. I don't.
Lunchbox
Well, that's what I'm saying because I was curious because I remembered the exact total. Maria can confirm. Muffy. I believe it was around 21 or 22 at Hog Park Pig park in Wyoming. Me, dad, you, rob, caught and. And then you guys didn't even have a total. I'm telling you, the kids need to know in 30 years when they're on a radio podcast, how many fish they caught that time at the camp box.
Mina Kimes
I mean, falls. Look at. Look at gramps just in the water because they're all stuck on the rocks. We went down the street and they were getting them caught in a rock. He's just in the water getting. Getting them out of the rocks, dude. He's just so patient. So nice. I mean, did that place have a boat?
Lunchbox
I mean, I'd have stuck those kids in a boat, not even taking the poles out.
Mina Kimes
I mean, why.
Lunchbox
Why pick poles when you go drink on a boat?
Mina Kimes
Like, check out this big old fish my niece caught.
Lunchbox
That might be the biggest one.
Mina Kimes
That's a massive fish. I mean, just so big.
Lunchbox
Those action photos are good too. Who took those?
Mina Kimes
I don't know. There you go, man. Here's the foot.
Lunchbox
All right, man.
Mina Kimes
All right. Sorry. Here's Doc working on me.
Lunchbox
Dude, you were reverse.
Mina Kimes
I was reverse. He's coming in from the backside, Ray.
Lunchbox
He had me put my pants down even though it was in my foot.
Mina Kimes
That was awesome. All right, we gotta go. We went way too long.
