Get your podcasts brought to you by Liberty Mutual Insurance.

[Ray]

Only pay for what you need.

[Co-host]

Liberty. Liberty. Liberty. Liberty. Yo, is it already going?

[Ray]

Yeah.

[Co-host]

Oh, okay. Here we are. Man, oh man. Did you listen to the Box Family episode?

[Ray]

No. I need To. I want to. Do you think we should start recording?

[Co-host]

I thought you already did.

[Ray]

No, the record. Record with video.

[Co-host]

Well, here's the problem. Did we ever get the audio fixed? Because we did, you know, tease all these people and say, we got video. We got video. Then we listened back to the video, and it was so over modulated that you couldn't even enjoy the video. There was no chance. And then I don't even know if I'm in screen or if I'm in frame because. And it's not even switching. Is I'm talking. Oh, maybe you should talk.

[Ray]

Yo, yo, yo, check out my levity. I want to look good. So. No, that then goes to three. It's not even on me.

[Co-host]

Well, no, because slap idiots screwed with the cameras. These people that come in the studio, there's no need for them to mess with the camera. Just leave the camera where it is. It's. If you're not recording, it doesn't matter.

[Ray]

All right? I don't want the cameras to affect your stories today. Go. I'll tell my stories in February.

[Co-host]

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

[Ray]

But you've been gone for a whole month.

[Co-host]

I've been gone for an entire month.

[Ray]

Right. So, you guys, I'm going to talk about Jamaica, man, in March, March 8th. Make a note.

[Co-host]

Put it on your calendar. March 8th, Ray comes back from Jamaica. Oh, man, it feels good to be back, though. Not really. Everybody says, oh, man, it feels good to be back. Does it really? It feels terrible to be back.

[Ray]

It feels good to be back, man. Feels good.

[Co-host]

I would stay gone for months if you let me, but.

[Ray]

But the stories that I found out, man, and one love, man, would make you feel blessed that you're able to live this life, man. So you. You're coming back to work. You're all able to come to work as easily as you did. Some of the stories, man, that I heard, man, they would change your life, man. So that is why we're here. That is why I'm here. I get. You can stay in Texas for a month.

[Co-host]

I can't wait to hear your stories on March 8 about how we should be appreciative and how your life has changed and how in Jamaica, it's different, man, but here in America, everybody. Oh, I'm so glad to get back, man. Stop. Who is glad to get back? I mean, I would like to say I'm glad to do this podcast again. It's cool. But, man, to give me another week off. I would take another week off if I Could.

[Ray]

And a lot of those people hate their families, man.

[Co-host]

That's true. They don't like spending time with their families. So we should start the show because then we're going to start a journey as we hit the open road for Texas, from Nashville to Austin to Houston.

[Ray]

And back down to the equator, man.

[Co-host]

I don't know where the equator is.

[Ray]

Jamaica, Mon.

[Co-host]

Is it really down there?

[Ray]

Close. It's above it, but close.

[Co-host]

Where are we? We're above it.

[Ray]

We're above it. Yeah.

[Co-host]

Way above it.

[Ray]

We're pretty above it. Weird stuff happens at the equator, man.

[Co-host]

No idea.

[Ray]

Northern hemisphere, Southern hemisphere, man.

[Co-host]

Do you know any cities? Could you name me one place that is on the equator?

[Ray]

I want to say Costa Rica, below. I mean, it's got to be South America. For sure. Is on the equator.

[Co-host]

Is it? I'm not like, I literally have. No, no, no. We don't. We don't Google. We don't worry about it. Well, someone will email us. I don't care. I. I don't know. Never even thought about it. And does it really feel different around the equator or is it just an imaginary line? Like what.

[Ray]

It is imaginary. It's going to blow your mind. I believe we don't Google on this show, but I believe that's what flips summer and winter. So if you're below the equator, then their weather is opposite ours. If you're above the equator, it's opposite. Below the equator.

[Co-host]

Okay. So that's the only significance, is the seasons are different below and above.

[Ray]

Correct. Because it's the Earth. The globe is a circle, sphere.

[Co-host]

Half allegedly rotates.

[Ray]

That's when the weather changes.

[Co-host]

Okay. Yeah.

[Ray]

So like when I was in Costa Rica, it was during the summer and it was our summer. It was almost. They're like. It was rainy season. So it was a different. Because it's below the. So Costa Rica actually might be very close to the equator.

[Co-host]

Okay. I just really had no idea the significance of the equator because everybody's like talking about the equator and I just never knew. And maybe I did in school, but now I just have no idea what the equator does.

[Ray]

But now you know now.

[Co-host]

Now I know. Well, okay, cool.

[Ray]

So if somebody says, like, I was in South America, you're like, holy crap. You had a completely different weather pattern. They would have summer now.

[Co-host]

Ah, so like Australia is in summer now.

[Ray]

Yes. And then when we're in summer, they're in winter.

[Co-host]

Okay, what about China?

[Ray]

I believe it's above the equator.

[Co-host]

So they're with us.

[Ray]

They're with Us. But then where it gets kind of confusing is Miami's always hot. We flip flop. Michigan's cold.

[Co-host]

Yeah.

[Ray]

And we're nowhere near the equator.

[Co-host]

Yeah. Texas was hot the whole time.

[Ray]

They're below the equator.

[Co-host]

It was fantastic. I'm telling you, man. When we were packing for the trip and I looked and it was going to be 75 the whole time, I said, boys, put away the pants, Grab your shorts. We're going to Texas. I mean, it was. There was no need to bring puntalones.

[Ray]

Boys. They said to me, we're gonna do it live. We are the 1, 2, 3, soar.

[Co-host]

Losers. What up, everybody? I am Lunchbox. I know the most about sports. I'll give the sports facts, my sports opinions, because I'm pretty much a sports genius.

[Ray]

What up, y'?

[Odoo Ad Announcer]

All?

[Ray]

It is S. And I'm from the north. I'm an alpha male. I live on the north side of Nashville with Bazer above the equator. We do have 2.3333 acres. We got two kids at Vanderbilt. Probably defrosted. They need to be checked on. Justin's been in Michigan for the past month. And, yeah, we are now back at work finally after vacating for, oh, yeah, five days. That was it. I actually had to do crap around here over the holidays, so don't give me started. Over to you, ma'.

[Co-host]

Am. Well, if it makes you feel better, the baby boxes, they did make an appearance on the family episode. So if you did have a chance to tune in, you will hear them in that episode. Not as good. Not as much airtime as they do when they come in here one on one. But they did make an appearance. Let me just tell you, man. So we decided last minute to go to Texas before Christmas. The plan originally was my wife was like, I really want the kids to wake up in their bed on Christmas and, you know, Santa to visit our house. And then we'll leave on the 26th. I said, if we leave on the 26th, we are rushing down, rushing back. There's not much relaxation time. Whoa.

[Ray]

Since when are you rushing? Ha. Gotcha.

[Co-host]

Well done. Well done. So we talked about. And she was like, you know what? You're right. We just never did that as kids. We always stayed home for Christmas. I said, we traveled maybe once every four years to go see grandma and grandpa on Christmas. And I said, those memories, the road trips, waking up and grandma and grandpa being there when you open presents and Santa has visited, those were just as memorable as the ones as at our house. You get to have cousin time she was like, all right, I guess we can do that. So it starts off with, we could leave that Friday, right when we get off work, let's go. Because his kids have a half day on that Friday. We get in the car and we hit the road. And she's all, okay, all right, that's what we'll do. And then we started looking at it. Neighborhood Christmas party that night. So we can't leave on Friday.

[Ray]

What, they have a half day at the Learning Center?

[Co-host]

No, at the elementary school.

[Ray]

Got it.

[Co-host]

And so it's half day, so. All right, cool. So we go to the neighborhood Christmas party. Was it fun? Was it great? Could I have skipped it altogether? 100%. Didn't need to be there then. You want to know who I talked to at that party?

[Ray]

Usual suspects.

[Co-host]

The exact same families that I already know. Three different families. We all stood in the upstairs of this party, talked to each other and talked to no new families. Didn't talk to anybody new at all.

[Ray]

Why branch out?

[Co-host]

Why? Why meet new people? What was the point? We already know these folks. We're comfortable with these folks. Let's just have a conversation with them. And that's exactly what we did. And we didn't drink a lot. You know why? Because we got to wake up on Saturday and hit the road. Got to hit the open road.

[Ray]

That'd be the worst.

[Co-host]

And we decided we're going to try to do the entire 12 hour drive in one day. We are going to hit the road at 8am and make it to Austin in one day. And we said we were gonna pack the car the night before. Did that happen?

[Ray]

No.

[Co-host]

Right. So we had to wake up Saturday morning, start packing the car. We were gonna be on the road by 8 o'. Clock. 9:30, we're finally rolling out.

[Ray]

Dude, I would never marry you. That would not fly with me.

[Co-host]

Hold on. Don't act like it was me that you were waiting on. Let's not act like I was the one that slowed us up, bro.

[Ray]

We didn't have to be to the airport until 5amWe left at 2:30am I.

[Co-host]

Would never marry you. That wouldn't fly with me.

[Ray]

I may be a little off in those times if Bazer listens to this, but you get my point.

[Co-host]

There is no way I would be married to you. That would not fly in my household.

[Ray]

We were at the airport two and a half hours earlier.

[Co-host]

That's stupid. That's absolutely stupid.

[Ray]

That's how we both roll, though.

[Co-host]

That is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. In my life. Continue. Anyway, so we get in the car, we drive, and we are going to make it in one day. We are four hours from Austin, Texas, when baby box two says, hey, I gotta go poop. And I said, no problem. We'll pull over at the next gas station. So we hit the exit, we take a right, we pull into the parking lot of the gas station, and bl. He vomits all over the car. He didn't mention that he needed to throw up. He just said, dad, I need to go poo poo. So I thought we were just pulling over to go poop. He never said, hey, hurry up. I'm about to throw up. So he throws up all over the car. So we gotta sit there and clean it. We go in, he does go poop, and we decide, is he car sick? I'm not sure. Is he sick sick? I'm not sure. But let's go ahead and get a hotel. That way he can rest, get a full night's sleep. If he has germs, it gives another two 12 to 16 hours. So granny and grandpa hopefully don't get sick.

[Ray]

Leave it for the cleaning ladies.

[Co-host]

And so we get a hotel room when we only had four hours to go. Four hours. But the good news is, now I can sit down in the hotel room, have a beer, and watch the Green Bay packers come to Soldier Field and take on my Chicago Bears.

[Ray]

Oh, you had two big games over break.

[Co-host]

Two big games over break.

[Ray]

Couldn't tell you that one because they don't have cable in Jamaica, So I'm so excited.

[Co-host]

So we get in the hotel room, and eating good in the neighborhood is right next door. So we order some to go food, and we bring it up to the room. They didn't give us utensils, so I had to eat my chicken bowl with just my fingers.

[Ray]

You can go downstairs to the complimentary breakfast.

[Co-host]

No, no. This is at night, okay? This dinner time, dude.

[Ray]

Oh, you're right. You really probably didn't have anything.

[Co-host]

No. And so I'm like, do I really want to go down the elevator across the parking lot, over the hill to the eating good in the neighborhood and get silverware? No, I'll just eat it with my face. Don't worry about it. And I'm like, all right, cool, kids. Let's get ready for bed, you guys, you know? Night. Night. Let me turn on the Bears game. It says it's on Fox. Okay, let me just go through these channels here.

[Ray]

Free hbo, a couple smut channels.

[Co-host]

Hold on. All right.

[Ray]

Well, that girl doesn't have a top on.

[Co-host]

There's cbs.

[Ray]

You kids never saw that.

[Co-host]

There's abc. Huh. I don't know. Let me. Let me call the front desk. Yeah, I'm trying to find Fox. Like, just regular Fox. Do you know what channel that is on your. Your TV guide?

[Ray]

Yeah, we got Foxy Ladies on 287. And then a little bit lower, some Puerto Rican.

[Co-host]

That was why.

[Ray]

Yeah, you got any of these channels that speak English?

[Co-host]

We just changed to Starlight.

[Ray]

Yeah, we'll call Elon.

[Co-host]

So I'm not sure what channel is what. We don't have all the channels figured out yet. Sorry about that. Needless to say, they didn't have Fox.

[Ray]

That's a bad beat.

[Co-host]

So I can't even watch the Bears Packers.

[Ray]

Another reason for you to get YouTube TV. Except it doesn't work in Jamaica. It's not available in other countries, so.

[Co-host]

Well, I wasn't even in Jamaica, man. I was just.

[Ray]

Whoa. You said, man.

[Co-host]

I know. Not even on purpose. I was just an hour outside of Dallas. Maybe Sulfur Springs, something like that. I don't even know where we were.

[Ray]

Jerry World.

[Co-host]

But they don't even have the dang game, so I can't watch the game. So you know what? Might as well get me some shut eye. And I go to bed and I wake up in the morning because I said, listen, we are not wasting another day. We're not sleeping in. We're not going down to the free continental breakfast downstairs. We are getting on the road. We're hitting Chick Fil A. And we're eating as we drive. We are four hours away from. From Granny and Grandpa's. We can be there by noon.

[Ray]

I'll see you kids at the crack of 11am and so I said, we.

[Co-host]

Are setting that alarm for 6am we're on the road by 8. Well, didn't work out that way.

[Ray]

I would never father those kids if they ain't up when dad says so.

[Co-host]

So why no, we were going to be on the road by 7, was really what it was. And so we wake up and I wake up to a text.

[Ray]

Morning, Corny.

[Co-host]

I wake up a text from a text from Batter's box. Oh, Caleb doesn't have it. And then miss phone call. Then you're not even watching. I don't know who you are.

[Ray]

Did they win or lose?

[Co-host]

They won in overtime. Apparently Caleb had an amazing comeback. We were awesome. It was great. And as we're driving to Chick Fil a, my wife looks at me and goes in, today, Sunday. Oh, crap. We already checked out of the hotel, skipped the continental breakfast, and we were on our way to Chick Fil A.

[Ray]

Did you think something was up when we were the only car in line?

[Co-host]

No, no, we were a block away. But we realized it. And I was like, ah, we'll just go in here to the McDonald's. We hit the drive through, the McDonald's got him hotcakes and sausage for breakfast. Hand them out in the car. And we're pulling out of the drive through, and baby box one is like, I lost my pancakes. What? I literally. I guess you didn't give me one. It's been eight seconds since I handed it back there. Oh my gosh.

[Ray]

This is what it's like to have kids.

[Co-host]

And I'm like, what do you mean? He's like, I don't have pancakes.

[Ray]

So you're telling me pancakes disappeared out of thin air?

[Co-host]

I'm like, did you? Are you joking? Like, we're not. It's not playtime. Like, it is 7:30. We were supposed to be on the road at 7. He's like, Dad, I don't have pancakes.

[Ray]

So you gotta beat me.

[Co-host]

I'm like, so we had the vomit yesterday, now we can't find pancakes today. This vacation is going excellent, excellent. So we pull over in the parking lot, get out, can't find them anywhere. Have him get out of his seat, everything. And then you look and he had dropped them on the floor and they had slid underneath the brother's seat. So he did have the pancakes. He did have the pancakes. So hand him the pancakes. And we hit the road. And I mean, we drive and we drive and we pull up to Granny and Grandpa's at 11:36am on that Sunday. Let's go. We didn't waste the whole day. We didn't waste the whole day sleeping in, eating that continental breakfast. We are great. And Granny had called us 20 minutes before that. How's it going? You guys getting out of bed yet? And I was like, yeah, we're just eating breakfast because the kids wanted to surprise Granny.

[Ray]

We're still in the drive through, driving.

[Co-host]

Through Dallas, and we pull up and the kids want to go surprise them. So they. We park next to their house and they run up there and they knock on the door. Dad comes with a shotgun and Granny opens the door, sees them and goes and slams the door shut and locks it.

[Ray]

What?

[Co-host]

And I'm like, what the hell is going on around here? Like, crime. And they, they're like, granny slammed the door on us. And then they're Going, let us in, let us in, let us in.

[Ray]

She thinks she was getting fleeced.

[Co-host]

And then grandpa comes walking around the side of the house. He's like, what are you guys doing here already?

[Ray]

Well, we were supposed to be here, dad. Have you lost it already?

[Co-host]

Are you senile or what? And like five minutes later, Granny comes out, goes, I was wrapping presents. You guys told me you just left the hotel. I had to throw them all in the closet.

[Ray]

Makes sense.

[Co-host]

Touche, touche. And then grandpa brings one of his new dogs out. You know, he brings Harry out there to meet Chase. And they're meeting each other, growling at each other. So we go on a walk around the block and we get back to the house and we let him run wild in the backyard.

[Ray]

You said your dog's name, Chase.

[Co-host]

Okay, that's okay. And Harry's my dad's dog and he has Harry and Sally. Sally is on heartworm medication, can't get excited, is not allowed to play, so she has to stay inside on the leash. So they're running around the backyard. We have.

[Ray]

I heard if you've got to sleep at night, you take a couple of.

[Co-host]

Those heartworm pills that'll make it. They, they drowsy. They drowsy the dog. And we are there for. I mean, we've been in Austin for 45 minutes.

[Ray]

Yeah, real Harry and Chase are playing.

[Co-host]

Running around, running around. And then it happens.

[Ray]

You got to tell us after the break.

[Co-host]

Then it happens, man.

[Ray]

Tell us after the break.

[Co-host]

I'll tell you right after this.

There we go.

[Co-host]

Down goes Chase.

[Ray]

Dad sells and built the fence he was supposed to build in 1980.

[Co-host]

No, down goes Chase. She was trying. He was trying to take a shortcut to cut Harry off at the pass. He didn't see the bird bath.

[Ray]

Oh, I thought it was a car.

[Co-host]

He didn't see the concrete bird bath.

[Ray]

Concrete's a different story.

[Co-host]

He shattered it with his leg.

[Ray]

That was probably 200 on Amazon.

[Co-host]

We'd been there 45 minutes and chase can't walk. Chase is yelping in pain, so it's time to go to the emergency vet.

[Ray]

For a bird bath.

[Co-host]

He won't walk on his leg and he's.

[Ray]

I mean, I had plantar fasciitis. It heals itself with a little ice.

[Co-host]

So I'm thinking shattered leg, something fracture, I don't know. Scoop them up, put them in the car, whisk them into the emergency vet. Oh, what brings you in today? Well, We've been here 45 minutes. He's shattered a bird bath with his leg. All right, let's have a look. They do some poking and prodding. They're like, oh, here's some just pain meds. I think he's gonna be fine. No breaks.

[Ray]

Care if I take some of these holidays?

[Co-host]

And the next day, Chase was as good as new.

[Ray]

There you go. Told you.

[Co-host]

Good as new.

[Ray]

Sister in law's a vet.

[Co-host]

I knew, dude. You shatter a concrete bird bath, hit.

[Ray]

Me with a text. Next time you ain't got to go to the minute clinic, Covid.

[Co-host]

Well, they said, but we can do X rays. You know what I mean? It's. It's 300 without the x rays, but if you want to do x rays, it's 850.

[Ray]

It wasn't the bird flu. It was bird bath dude.

[Co-host]

And I said we'll pass on the X rays. Well, we'll save the 500.

[Ray]

My dad's got a bright light. Take it in the bathroom so you can see inside of them.

[Co-host]

I got a fly flashlight. I'll just stick it right up close to his skin, see if I can see through there.

[Ray]

Some of those mag lights that were floating around for Christmas time, if you hold them up, they can show a whole mountainside. Might want to consider that for.

[Co-host]

I will. I will have to check into that. That's pretty good stuff.

[Ray]

Maybe for your dad. Big electrician guy or contractor?

[Co-host]

Yeah, contractor. Retired, though. He is retired now. He's right.

[Ray]

But those guys always find a reason to use a mag light. You kidding me? Every time I talk to my father in law, he's got a mag light or a hammer on his tool belt.

[Co-host]

Yeah, then what else do we do? So then that was good. That way. That was great. And then.

[Ray]

Anything positive?

[Co-host]

Well, see, that's what I'm saying. This vacation is off to a great start, right? Great start. Next day, my dad and I decide we're gonna get some breakfast tacos.

[Ray]

Just you and dad at one in a million.

[Co-host]

Nah, it's just a trailer right by the. Right by the house.

[Ray]

You know, son, I've never told you this before, but I love you, man.

[Co-host]

And so.

[Ray]

Dad, we pass the salsa. Come here, son. Let's both start on an end of this little taquerita and eat it down. It's got some eggs and bakey. Merry Christmas, Dad.

[Co-host]

Merry Christmas, son. So then we.

[Ray]

Dad, I ain't got any utensils. Would you want to finish this one together without them? Did you go to one in a million?

[Co-host]

No, man. That's too far from the house, man. Too far from the house. But I will say, dude, I forgot to tell you when I went to go pick up the food at the, you know, the Applebee's. Eating good in the neighborhood. I mean, you want jumping back to Arkansas or wherever the hell we're in Texas, but you want to talk about people loving each other. They all sitting at the barges yell, hey, man, well, what's going on over there? You know, I just been out traveling. You know, I've been working up in North Dakota. Just back for the holiday. Oh, yeah? Tell your old lady I said hello.

[Ray]

I mean, it was a neighborhood.

[Co-host]

It was a neighborhood Applebee's. And the guys just sitting at the bar, yelling across each other like, man, you guys see that on the news last night? Oh, I saw it, Harry. I saw it. What in the hell is going on?

[Ray]

Same story I'm going to tell on Wednesday's podcast. But not the neighborhood and not eating good. It's old belly laughing at old Charlie's. And that story will be Wednesday.

[Co-host]

Then it's like, that's a deep tease. And what do you think I should do? You think I should go back out the holidays? You think I should work? Look for work around here? Well, Billy, I gotta tell you, man, I mean, I bet your family misses you. I don't know if it's worth it, going back up there.

[Ray]

You consider doing work up in Arkadelphia? Oh, I heard the women are fast and the money's clean, brother. Find you some good old lot lizards. Any of those try to stick on or you can just leave them in.

[Co-host]

The pocket, lab boy. Yeah, and then so I, I, I get back to the hotel room after that, and I had to go to Walgreens, get medicine.

[Ray]

Hell of a plug for the sick.

[Co-host]

Kid, you know, Corner healthy and happy. And me and this old dude are just the sick kid, the one that threw up. We thought maybe he needs medicine.

[Ray]

He ain't sick. That's a little food poisoning, boy. You shouldn't have gotten those Taco Bell chips or those truck stop chips.

[Co-host]

So we're at the Walgreens, and we're just sitting there at the cashier. 1 minute, 2 minute, 3 minute, 4 minutes, 5 minutes. There is not a dang worker in sight.

[Ray]

Experienced it myself.

[Co-host]

So this 80 year old man just starts yelling, knock, knock.

[Ray]

Who's there? Knock knock, knock knock.

[Co-host]

And then no one comes. Knock, knock, knock, knock.

[Ray]

That's how they used to do it back in the day.

[Co-host]

And finally this lady comes up and he goes, knock, knock. And she goes, well, sir, right there, it says you can press the button if you need help. He goes, oh, I'm sorry about that, ma'.

[Ray]

Am. You gotta respect it.

[Co-host]

It's great. But anyway, let me get back to the taco truck in Austin. I forgot that. Now I gotta go to the taco truck. We go up and we order the tacos for me, my dad, my mom, my wife, my kids, all, you know, we order all these tacos and we're sitting down at a picnic table talking. This guy comes walking up, he sits down. I assume he's waiting for his order. I figure he went over the gas station, got a coke, came back, and he just turns to me and he looks at me, goes, oh, you think you're tough? Oh, boy, you think you're tough? We'll find out who's tough. Let's go right over here, right in the woods, me and you, one on one, no cops. And I look around and I'm like. He goes, oh, don't look around. I'm talking to you right there. Oh, my gosh, dude, what part of.

[Ray]

Town do your parents live?

[Co-host]

He goes, you think it's some funny stuff, huh?

[Ray]

No, man, not funny. Just tired.

[Co-host]

Because you guys think y' all laughing, you. You boys won't be laughing. Let's go right now. Belt to ass, one on one. You think you tough. You think, let's go one on one in the woods. We'll find out who's tough. No cops.

[Ray]

Please tell me.

[Co-host]

He took his belt off and I was like. I looked at my dad, says, he's talking to me. He goes, and he goes, yes, I'm talking to you. And we're like, we're just talking to each other. And he goes, all right, I'll be over there if you want it. One on one, no cops.

[Ray]

What world were you in?

[Co-host]

Northside Austin, Texas.

[Ray]

And one love, bro.

[Co-host]

Man, I was like, wow, man, that was interesting. And so we're sitting there waiting for our tacos, and the lady, that the family that owns it, their little daughter comes out of the taco trailer and she's got a little rocking horse set up out front. So she gets on the rocking horse, starts rocking back and forth. We're like, whoa, whoa, whoa. Here comes our boy. He comes back.

[Ray]

He might have been boozing.

[Co-host]

And we're going, whoo. We're laughing. Whoa, whoa, whoa. And he goes, whoa, whoa, whoa. My ball's in your MF and mouth.

[Ray]

Actually pretty good. Good one.

[Co-host]

I was like, gotta give it to him. That was a solid one, man. I was like, that was so solid, man. Like, out of nowhere, he goes with the, whoa, whoa, whoa. My balls in your mouth, dude.

[Ray]

We got to get him for the convention.

[Co-host]

Oh, dude, he. He was all. He was great. And then he walks up to the window and says, where's my stuff? And the lady's like, he goes, you got to hurry up. My son's coming. I need what you owe me. My son is coming. And she goes, derek, get out of here. Just. Just get out of here, Derek. And then she looks at us, she goes, don't listen to anything he says. He lives over there in the woods. Said, all right, cool, man. But that was awkward, man. He. He. Yeah, yeah. So that was my trip to the taco stand, man. It was. Austin was very welcoming.

[Ray]

Homeless dude.

[Co-host]

Yeah.

[Ray]

Or a family member of the food truck.

[Co-host]

No, it turns out he was a homeless dude, man. But he was ready to find out who's tough or not hear when your.

[Ray]

Dad couldn't roll this dude. Your dad were afraid of alcoholic Derek, who hasn't eaten in three days.

[Co-host]

Well, I mean, you guys had two.

[Ray]

Verse, one dude, hold on. No, he only challenged Pops belt to ass.

[Co-host]

He didn't challenge both of us. He just challenged one of us. He didn't say, hey, both of you guys want to find out if you're tough?

[Ray]

Your dad's like. He was talking to you.

[Co-host]

He's like, no. My dad goes, well, go do it. Well, go find out if you're tough, man. I'm like, what in the hell is going on? What is going on?

[Ray]

That's bizarre.

[Co-host]

It was crazy. Oh, man. It was a great time. We'll take a break. I got more. You want more?

[Ray]

I want more.

[Co-host]

Good. I'll give you more right after this.

[Ray]

Meet me in the woods.

[Co-host]

He cold called me hard.

What happened to locks? Is he coming? Does he come? Does he listen?

[Ray]

Went to a couple of them. He moved away. He's in a different state now.

[Co-host]

It doesn't matter. They have airplanes, trains, automobiles, everything.

[Ray]

The big game show at the mall. Yeah, I forgot how amazing that mall is. We might lose some people in that mall in the whole. Well, they're gonna want to get back, though, right?

[Co-host]

They may want to go shopping. Dude, some people like to shop.

[Ray]

And I also found an IV station. You can go in there, get some B12. You can get the stuff that makes you feel not as hungover. The lady said lickety split. She'll get you in and out. 10 minutes. I got a brochure and everything.

[Co-host]

That's good.

[Ray]

I can put it on the website.

[Co-host]

Unless they want to be part of the convention. We don't get. Let's not.

[Ray]

Why would we advertise them for free?

[Co-host]

Yeah, why would we. Why would we do that? But anyway, back to over at Granny and Grandpa's. Dude, let me tell you, we had pure pandemonium. I thought it already was seven kids. Because you got my sister's three kids, my brother's son, all running around just being nutsome.

[Ray]

Batter's box has a kid?

[Co-host]

You didn't know that?

[Ray]

I mean, I figured that he has an offspring.

[Co-host]

You thought he was celibate.

[Ray]

Is it 49ers?

[Co-host]

Yes. The kid loves the 49ers and his two bonus children. They also love the 49ers.

[Ray]

What the. Chris Jansen?

[Co-host]

Yes.

[Ray]

Does everybody call it bonus children?

[Co-host]

No, I just said it because of Chris Jansen. Okay. I. I don't know what my brother calls it, but. But they. He does have two stepsons. But I don't know if you call them, if he calls them bonus kids or if he. I don't know what he calls them. I just was saying bonus kids. Cause Chris Jansen does, and I find it funny. Uh, anyway, so they're just running around. I mean, it's just pure chaos all the time. Dude, it was so loud and crazy. And then we decided we're gonna have a slumber party. All seven of them over there staying up till 12:30 at night.

[Ray]

Sheesh.

[Co-host]

Gave them root beer floats. And we're like, oh, we'll put on a movie. They'll fall asleep. They watch the whole damn day.

[Ray]

Parents are the ones clinging to life.

[Co-host]

I'm like, golly, I need to go to bed. Can you please fall asleep?

[Ray]

As a kid? That's impressive. They stayed up through a movie.

[Co-host]

Yes.

[Ray]

Because I remember we'd go over to friends houses. You could do one boom out, but you could do one. That second one. It was impossible to stay up for. You'd be out like a light.

[Co-host]

No, no. We didn't start the movie till 10:30 thinking they would fall asleep. 12:30 and smash cut. We. They're all in my parents room, spread out all across the room. My sister passed out on the floor.

[Ray]

Dad, they're about to go into the dinosaurs layer.

[Co-host]

And I mean my four. I mean from four year old to nine year olds. They all stayed up till 12:30 watching the movie.

[Ray]

Can't beat it.

[Co-host]

That was a great, great memory. Great memory. Then we have Christmas. Dude, let me tell you, Christmas was awesome.

[Ray]

What are you guys doing while they're watching that?

[Odoo Ad Announcer]

Movie.

[Ray]

Are you sipping on some of some cough medicine?

[Co-host]

No, I'm. I watched a little bit of the movie, then I'm just cleaning up and then, you know, just doing all sorts of stuff, hanging out with my mom and dad. You know why the kids are watching the movie. You know, we're just talking, chatting, living life.

[Ray]

So how are you guys doing? Am I a part of the will?

[Co-host]

But then, let me, let me tell you, Christmas Eve, we made the mistake, man. Let me tell you. We had all those nights that we were there. We got there Sunday, so we had Sunday night, Monday night, Tuesday night, Wednesday night. Four nights to wrap presents.

[Ray]

Christmas was Thursday.

[Co-host]

Yes, Christmas was Thursday. You have four nights to wrap presents.

[Ray]

Got to do it the first night.

[Co-host]

Just wrap three a night and you're going to be done by Christmas easily. No. What do we do? 9:30pm Christmas Eve. Well, I guess we better start wrapping presents. God.

[Ray]

Oh my words. Grandpa's liquor cabinet.

[Co-host]

Granny and Grandpa don't have a liquor cabinet.

[Ray]

I need to meet three of my friends in the alley. Jim, Jack and Jim Beam.

[Co-host]

They don't have a liquor cabinet. And we just sit there and wrap and wrap and wrap. And I mean, by the time you get in bed, it's midnight, you're exhausted. And you know who's waking up at 6am Those excited kids. But we did do a practice because Baby Box, he was sleeping on the bed by the window. And the other two, Baby Box 2 and 3, were on the floor on an air mattress. And I was like, all right, but if you hear Santa, what are you gonna do?

[Ray]

Air mattress, I guess. Seven kids.

[Co-host]

Yeah. Well, these were just three. This is just my three. They spent the night at Granny and Grandpa's. The other ones went home for Christmas Eve.

[Ray]

Your parents don't have a spare bed?

[Co-host]

They do. Baby Box was in the spare bed. It can only fit one. It's a, it's a twin size bed.

[Ray]

Got it.

[Co-host]

And he goes, I'm gonna stand up and I'll yell, ah. And then if I don't, if you guys don't wake up, I'll jump on my brothers. Then I'll run in you and mom's room. I'll jump on you guys. Then we'll run in and jump on Granny and Grandpa.

[Ray]

Be careful. Knock first. You know the drill.

[Co-host]

So we did do a routine. We did a video where we practiced.

[Ray]

And if mommy's in something pink, knock four times.

[Co-host]

Well, no, if that pink. If you see pink on the floor, that's when you need to knock four Times. If she still has it on, you can just come right in.

[Ray]

And if it looks like the remote stuck under the sheets, remember, knock a couple times, yell out loud, and then come jump on Daddy.

[Co-host]

And so he told me all this stories about how. What he was going to do. Well, he didn't ever hear Santa. And in the morning, he comes in our room and he's like, mom, dad, Santa came. Santa came. Like, what? He's like, I went downstairs and looked. He came. I'm like, wait, you went down without us? You're not supposed to go down without us. We want to see your reaction to what Santa brought. He was like, but he really came. He really came. We got to go down there. We got to go down there. I'm like, oh, okay. So we got up, went down. And you know what they got for Christmas, man? Fart guns. They all wanted fart guns. And Santa delivered with fart guns. They were happier than a clam worth.

[Ray]

I mean, are they worth a crap?

[Co-host]

They are worth a crap. And they shoot out smoke.

[Ray]

Oh, they shoot out poop.

[Co-host]

Not just smoke. Smelly smoke.

[Ray]

Poop particles.

[Co-host]

Poop particles. Dude, they loved it. They were so excited. And so then we had bubble bread, and we opened presents that were from Granny and Grandpa and from mom and dad. Then we had to wait till the afternoon for the cousins to come over.

[Ray]

Batter's box doesn't get up to the crack of two.

[Co-host]

It's about right.

[Ray]

Two p.m. they roll over.

[Co-host]

That's about what time he got there? About 2:30.

[Ray]

The Niners were playing. What up, everybody?

[Co-host]

It's batter's box here.

[Ray]

Better watch out for them Niners in the playoffs.

[Co-host]

Oh, I got a story about the Niners. I thought they were supposed to be.

[Ray]

Playing Carolina, and now all of a sudden they got the Eagles. So maybe don't watch out for them, but we. Carolina made the playoffs. Continue, man.

[Co-host]

I'm sorry, Caroline.

[Ray]

Continue. Continue.

[Co-host]

Anyway, so we. I mean, what else did we do? We. We played so many games. Granny had game after game after game that she created. Oh, one was, you take. She had 25 different stickers, and you wrote numbers on them. And we hit them throughout the house. And the kids had to go find all 25 and come and put them back on the wall. And I thought, oh, my gosh, this is not going to work. And they kept walking around, oh, we already see the stickers. We know where all they all are. And she's like, well, you know, he. I hit him. And she was like, they're like, well, you're not a very good hider. And I was like, okay, you guys want to talk trash about me being a good hider? You want to talk about me being a bad hider? So I started hiding them hard.

[Ray]

I misplaced the 6, 7.

[Co-host]

There's, there's ones I forgot. And I'd be like an hour later, but. Oh, guys, actually, there might be one more out there. There might be one more out there.

[Ray]

It's all the numbers. So they could tell if one was missing.

[Co-host]

Well, a couple. I forgot where they were and I, I couldn't find them when they were. I was looking for them to make sure they didn't move them. So I put question marks and just said, oh, here, this number was missing. So put it out. It was great, great fun. Then we did the rolling derby. Got. It's like you put a rolling sheet, a sheet on the. It's like a tablecloth and has different squares and you put prizes along it and you get a bottled water and you roll it and wherever it lands, you get that prize.

[Ray]

That's awesome.

[Co-host]

Kids were loving it.

[Ray]

Seen that one?

[Co-host]

Loved it. Then we're going to close the night out with a family photo. And granny and grandpa had spent hours hot gluing together shirts. And when you put your arms over your head, Ray, what do you form? We are what?

[Ray]

Wreaths.

[Co-host]

We are a big family of wreaths, dude. And we all get in front of the Christmas tree and we're all wreaths.

[Ray]

You have got to be kidding me. That's Christmas.

[Co-host]

That is Christmas. But what happened? Scary stuff right after this.

[Ray]

Ray. So my wife, when she raised her arms, it kind of was see through.

[Co-host]

Now, right as we're about to take the picture, we're getting our sweatshirts on. Baby Box 2 is eating a push pop. And we're not talking about the ice cream. Push pop. The little hard candy. All right. Hey, bud, you got to put that down. Baby box three, you got to put that down. We're going to take a picture. Starts coughing. Bud, are you okay? You want to drink a water? Are you choking on a piece of candy? Did a piece of candy drink some water? Okay.

[Ray]

Well, his hands are already above his head for the wreath.

[Co-host]

We do the picture and he's like, I'm ready for bed. I want to go night night. It's already 9 o' clock at night. We've been going at it for a long time. Maybe it's 10 o'. Clock. I don't remember. So we put him to bed. Everybody says their goodbyes. They leave 12:30 at night, he wakes up un consol. Coughing, crying, coughing, crying. Can't. Can barely. Is struggling to breathe. What? And I'm like, we bring him in our room here, here, let's watch some grizzly. Let's watch some grizzly. Because Grizzy and the lemons lemmings, they usually calms him down. Wouldn't even watch it. I look at my wife, I said, we gotta go, we gotta go, we gotta go.

[Ray]

You guys need a bogo at the minute clinic.

[Co-host]

We ain't going Minute clinic. We're going er.

[Ray]

All right?

[Co-host]

We're going er. Like we don't have time. And I, I'm in my days. It's 12:30. I've been asleep for like an hour. Call my sister. Hello? I'm like, hey, what, what? What's the best children's hospital? Dell. All right, cool. We're on our way. Wake up. Granny said, hey, if the boys wake up, we're gone. We're going to the hospital. Is everything okay? Yeah, yeah. So we throw them in the car, buckle them up, and we are going. And I mean we are hitting 183 and I'm going 95. Speed limit, probably 55.

[Ray]

95 and a 55.

[Co-host]

Yeah. I'm hauling.

[Ray]

That's reckless driving.

[Co-host]

Oh, it's reckless. But dude, there are times when he's on 183, my wife keeps going, hey, bud. Hey, bud, can you. Are you okay? Can you breathe for me? Because there was a couple times it felt like he stopped breathing. What? Like it was absolutely terror filled. Drive.

[Ray]

Happy holidays.

[Co-host]

And I, I ran four red lights on the way there because I'd stop, look, go like, we ain't got time.

[Ray]

I do that coming to work.

[Co-host]

We ain't got time. We ain't got time. And then you pull up what looks like the main entrance and it's closed.

[Ray]

Nope, you gotta circle the place five times. Sometimes it's parking, sometimes, you know, if it's er. Sometimes I just drop baser off here outside. One time I take a buddy to it. Now you pull in the exit, you get told to go around the other way. Even though it's an emergency room, you can't just enter it in any direction. You have to go around the loop and then into the emergency because the ambulances have to pull in a certain way. Trust me, I know.

[Co-host]

Oh, trust me. It said main entrance. We followed the signs. Oh, the main entrance is closed. Please follow these footprints to the other entrance because they have footprints along the sidewalk.

[Ray]

Well, are the footprints running?

[Co-host]

Well, I'm sorry that I'm in. In a panic mode, and I don't want to play fun games where I follow the freaking footprints, so I rip them out of the car.

[Ray]

And if you don't mind, my feet are bigger than those. I got it.

[Co-host]

And I run through the metal detector, and I get to the front desk. Lady's like, oh, can you fill out that slip of paper, please?

[Ray]

No.

[Co-host]

And I'm like, does it look like I need to fill out a slip paper? Bro is hardly breathing here. He's struggling to breathe.

[Ray]

Have AI fill it out.

[Co-host]

And it's like, name, patient's name, date of birth, reason for visit. I mean, is that really. You really need me to fill that out? Like, why can't we get back there and you diagnose me? Like, dude, is hardly breathing.

[Ray]

What's your wife been doing, some Heimlich?

[Co-host]

No, she's just like, hey, bud, can you breathe? Are you okay? Are you okay? Hey, bud. Hey, don't fall asleep. Don't fall asleep. And then she's like, okay, now that you have this, you can just step right over to this lady over here. And I'm, like, holding him, and I'm trying to fill this out. And the lady's like, okay, does everything look correct? And I'm like, no, I wrote down the wrong birthday. I'm sorry. That's not his birthday.

[Ray]

I wrote down Christmas. I'm sorry. I'm a big fan.

[Co-host]

And they're like, oh, can you have him, please stand up?

[Ray]

12, 25. 25.

[Co-host]

I'm like, wait, wait. He's barely. He's struggling to breathe, and you're gonna make me, like, make him stand? Like, what? What? What the hell does he need to stand for? Like, why can't I still hold him? So I make him stand there. Can you put that mask on him? All right, Put a mask on him. All right, Just sit right over here. Someone will be right with you. What do you mean, someone will be right with me? My son is barely breathing. He's struggling to freaking breathe.

[Ray]

Dude. What was this? Rescue Nashville 91 1, dude.

[Co-host]

That's what it felt like.

[Ray]

You guys are ready for the new season, dude.

[Co-host]

I mean, I was like, what are we doing? And then she gets on the phone, and I'm like, okay, now she knows it's serious. She came over, looked at him, got on the phone. So a nurse is going to be coming quick. Quick nurse comes, like, I'm gonna go get this other family. Then I'll get you, and we'll go on back. And I'm like, no, no, we don't have time for another family. What are we doing? Two families? What? No, no, just take me back. And they take us back. All right, you're gonna be right here in room number three. And nurse comes in. He's new nurse, new dude. He comes in, he's like, what's going on? And he looks at me and goes, yeah, sounds like he's got croup, right? What? And he explains it's all about this thing called croup. It's a bacterial infection. It's a virus. And it comes on like that, no warning. And it can be very Sometimes alarming and scared. And that's when they wake up in the middle of night when they're having a hard time breathing because their throat is swollen. And it can be very traumatizing. That that's why they can't be consoled is because they're having a hard time breathing, catching their breath. Dude, the nurses at Dell were fantastic. The dude was so cool. He had a Cubs hat on. And I told my. I was like, hey, do you see what kind of hat he has on? He goes, cubs. And we start talking about the Cubs. And they re, you know, just like, made you feel so welcome.

[Ray]

Great hat. What do you think about our playoff chances? Maybe the pennant this year? Thanks, doc.

[Co-host]

And they explained everything that we were going to do. And they were going to do a breathing treatment. They gave him a steroid. And this breathing treatment, they put this mask over his face. He has to wear it for five minutes. And the whole time he's screaming, get this mask off me. And they said, you hear that look like when we came in, they said, you hear the little wheezing? That's when it's problem. That's when it's good that you came to us.

[Ray]

What do you think about Pete Crow? Armstrong? Pretty good little hitter.

[Co-host]

So we do that, and he does the breathing treatment, crying the whole time about, get the mask off me. Get the mask off me, dude, we got that mask off. He was better.

[Ray]

So the mask healed him.

[Co-host]

The breathing treatments did everything.

[Ray]

Got it.

[Co-host]

It was unbelievable. And they said he'll have that cough a little bit for two weeks.

[Ray]

Good public service. That's a good psa.

[Co-host]

So they do the breathing treatment. Then they have to observe him for two hours. So we had to stay there for two hours longer after the breathing treatment just to make sure it doesn't flare back up. But if it does flare back up, when you're back at home, let your Stick your kid's head in the freezer because the cold air give them a popsicle. Things like that are what help it when you have croup. Just let him watch a movie just in case. You guys root beer float. You guys have croup out there? Let me tell you, it's the scariest thing in the world. It was terrifying. I thought he was dying.

[Ray]

Well, maybe we don't do kid wreath games, you know.

[Co-host]

Well, I thought he was choking on a piece of candy, but it turned out it was croup.

[Ray]

Well, maybe we don't wrap a wreath around a kid's head, Gramps.

[Co-host]

And so we rolled back to mom and dad's house and we pulled up in front of their house.

[Ray]

5:00Am they're still standing there for the picture?

[Co-host]

No, they don't left the picture was over. So we didn't get any sleep after being up at 6am on Christmas. We stayed up all night till 5am the next day at the hospital.

[Ray]

Man, let's be real. You slept once. He was okay at the hospital for a little while. No, you just sat there and played tiddly wings for two hours.

[Co-host]

I sat there and looked at him and watched him.

[Ray]

But you said he was better.

[Co-host]

Well, I felt like he was better, but he was.

[Ray]

The mask's off. Nap time, dude.

[Co-host]

I'm sitting in a chair that doesn't fold. It is a plastic chair against the wall.

[Ray]

I would have been lights out.

[Co-host]

I would have loved to crawl in the bed with him and fallen asleep, but I didn't. He was awake the whole time. And then like 20 minutes where we're going to leave. He falls asleep.

[Ray]

Could I possibly get a bed, sir?

[Co-host]

And so we roll back home at 5am Man, 5am Merry Christmas. So we've been to the. We've been to the doggy emergency. We've been trying to fight in the woods.

[Ray]

Human emergency.

[Co-host]

The human emergency. And I didn't even tell you that we took the kids to urgent care because once the dog got back from the doctor, I was like, man, what if the kids have the flu? I don't want to get Granny and grandpa. The flu. Would have to get a hotel. So I took him to the CVS Minute clinic to do the, you know, the, the test of the, the flu. And the thing says it closes at 6 o' clock and we get there at 5:15. And the lady sticks her head out and goes, sorry, I'm seeing my last patient for today. Like, what do you mean?

[Ray]

That's America.

[Co-host]

Like what do you mean? It Says you close at 6. It's 5:15. That. That examination is not going to take 45 minutes.

[Ray]

That's when you point to TripAdvisor. I'll be filling one out, even if this isn't a destination.

[Co-host]

So then we go to Care now, or Urgent, whatever the hell it was. It's on our insurance. When we're in Nashville and we go there and they're, well, yeah, Care Now. Texas is not on your insurance.

[Ray]

Oh, you get ready for a $3,000 deductible. Not funny.

[Co-host]

And I'm like, what? I'm like, what do you mean? They're like, yeah, Care now in your state is on it. But when you leave the state, sometimes they're not on it. So I paid $180.

[Ray]

It looks like you don't care now, huh? Because I don't care.

[Co-host]

So I pay $180 for this to get my ticket tested. Just one of them. I was going to have all three tests. I said, no, just one. Because if he's not positive, then that's good.

[Ray]

I mean, while they're doing that, why don't you have them test you? Run something up your ass?

[Co-host]

They might as well have, dude. So, yeah, so we come back and we celebrate for a couple more days with my family. And then it's The Big Niners vs. The Bears Football game.

[Ray]

That was that weekend.

[Co-host]

It was that Sunday. Sunday Night Football.

[Ray]

Saw the score.

[Co-host]

Sunday Night Football. Tell y' all about it right after this.

[Ray]

Wait, but they already know what happened.

[Co-host]

Dude. Of course. No teeth, Keith.

[Ray]

Kid, I don't got cable. You guys got an extra chair?

[Co-host]

There's nothing finer than being a 49er.

[Ray]

This is our year with Purdy back and Purdle. He's still hurt.

[Co-host]

Batter's Box. Oh, my gosh. Yeah. So I'm playing golf with Garrett, Greg Jacob on Sunday. We played over at Roy Kaiser. Of course, I didn't watch Football Day, but we're going to head over to Batter's Box House for the game. It's my.

[Ray]

Got enough seating for all the boys.

[Co-host]

It's the last night in town. We're going to Houston the next day. So I assume we are going to Batter's Box House. Bringing my family, bringing my sister's family. Everybody's going over there. My dad is going to bring no teeth, Keith.

[Ray]

And he doesn't. He can't drive.

[Co-host]

Well, his car broke down. That's the problem.

[Ray]

Batter's Box. What up, everybody? It's Batter's Box, and I'm having people over for the game.

[Co-host]

And he's like, batter's box. Like, well, I thought it was just gonna be you and dad and Keith.

[Ray]

See, I knew he didn't have the seating for the whole boys.

[Co-host]

I said, yeah, but the kids can run around, you know, to be just fun. We'll bring, you know, mom will come. That way it's our last night. You know, we can all hang out. And he's like, it might be better if they go to Granny's. Like, what do you mean? Because the kids go to Granny's and you guys come over.

[Ray]

It's a good uncle.

[Co-host]

And I said, well, I kind of want to hang out with everybody. It's my last night. I kind of, you know, kind of have fun. And, you know, Keith will be there. He goes, well, we gotta have our routine. So, I mean, if you and dad and Keith want to come, but everybody else go to Granny's.

[Ray]

What? The Scarlet Letter.

[Co-host]

And so I was like, well, I guess I'm not coming over. So it was me, my dad, Keith, my mom, my sister, my wife turned.

[Ray]

Around in the middle of the road.

[Co-host]

Yeah. And we were over at the house, and we didn't get to watch it with Batter's Box.

[Ray]

Hell of a game, though.

[Co-host]

Hell of a game. Oh, my gosh. They pick six right off the bat. And my mom, who doesn't give two craps about football, calls Batter's Box. And of course, it's during a Niners game, so he's not allowed to even touch the phone or answer it or respond. And she's like, oh, looking like a little trouble. And she just starts laughing. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Because she's a Bears fan. I mean, not really. She doesn't really care, but she grew up in Chicago. And he doesn't respond all game until the end. We get a video. How do you like that? How do you like them Niners in your mouth? How do you like that? Go Niners. Was it 42, 38, something like that?

[Ray]

I thought I saw that the next day. They literally don't do cable in Jamaica, man.

[Co-host]

It was a fantastic football game.

[Ray]

They do, but there's about a second delay in between each video clip, enough to annoy the crap out of you. And half the channels are in, oddly, in Spanish, even though they don't speak Spanish there. So, yeah, there's no watching TV in Jamaica. Over to you, man.

[Co-host]

Yeah. So then everybody came over the next morning to say goodbye. Batter's Box came over, we hung out, kids ran around, and then we drove to Houston, man, go to see the in laws. Let me tell you the exact opposite experience at the in laws that it is at my parents.

[Ray]

I think you've said enough.

[Co-host]

It's pure chaos at my parents house at the in laws. It's just like everybody sits there quietly.

[Ray]

I'll go over there. Not much me away from the chaos.

[Co-host]

Not much going on. A lot of just sitting and I, I get antsy with sitting. I don't like sitting.

[Ray]

Kids not touching walls. I'm all for it.

[Co-host]

Yeah. Kids aren't breaking things. Kids aren't running through things. Like, it's just like, like, oh, okay. Yeah. So we ended up going to the zoo in Houston. That was cool. Met up with some friends that have two kids. We went to the zoo with them, went to their place for dinner and we just hung out with my in laws for a couple days. And then like New Year's Eve, man, we're sitting down for dinner. Well, it was earlier in the afternoon. We were playing in the leaves in the backyard. I saw the video we had made big piles of leaves with the leaf blower playing in them. And baby box two is talking like this. Let's go over here. I'm like, oh my gosh. You know what that means? Strep voice.

[Ray]

Oh, I thought it was croup.

[Co-host]

No, no, no, no. That's strep voice.

[Ray]

Ray Krup will come on on set during wreath making.

[Co-host]

And I'm like, that, that's definitely strut voice. I'm like, great. And as we're sitting down for dinner, I'm trying to tell my wife, hey, I think he's got strep. And before I can get it out of my mouth, he goes, mom, anytime I swallow, my throat hurts. I'm like, I was going to tell you a strep voice, but I didn't want to scare your parents. But he's got strep. He's got strep for sure. Let me try to make an appointment at urgent care New Year's Eve. They all close at five though, so we've already missed the window. So I'm like, all right, I'm going to make the first appointment New Year's Day. I'm going to make the appointment first thing so we can get the medicine. He'll feel better. So I find an urgent care with insurance. 9am I booked the appointment. Smash cut. 9am Comes around. Guess what? Baby box two is still sleeping. He never sleeps that late. So I'm just going to let him get his rest. Because he's sick. We'll find a different urgent care. And I get a text from that urgent care, says, hey, we see you're running a little late. We rescheduled you for our next available appointment, which is 1045.

[Ray]

Boom.

[Co-host]

Kid gets up at 9:45, have a little breakfast.

[Ray]

Thank you for being so accommodating.

[Co-host]

Exactly. We drive over there for the 10:45 appointment, 22 minutes from the in law's house. Pull in the parking lot, walk up, and oh, they're not open. They're not open. How the hell are you gonna let me make an appointment and reschedule my ass and not even be open?

[Ray]

You were getting texts from AI.

[Co-host]

I getting texts from AI?

[Ray]

I was talking back how polite they were. It was AI.

[Co-host]

I was so impressed.

[Ray]

Well, thank you very much for your customer service.

[Co-host]

I was so impressed with their freaking ability to reschedule me automatically. I was like, that is customer service at the best, at its finest.

[Ray]

You were talking to an AI bot in a farm.

[Co-host]

I didn't even talk to anybody. One of those AI farms I didn't even talk about. They sent me the text and said, would you like the 1045? That's our next available appointment.

[Ray]

What are you wearing?

[Co-host]

And so then I'm like, fine, I'll just go to the CVS Minute Clinic. We just saw one right down the road. We'll go there, we'll get tested, and we'll go home. We drive to the cvs. This location does not have a Minute Clinic.

[Ray]

Some don't.

[Co-host]

My God, I thought they all had them.

[Ray]

No, not their problem. The one at Vanny does not. All of them do.

[Co-host]

So then I'm like, fine, let me Google Minute Clinic, okay? Find one that is 25 minutes away, get in the car. And it closes at one. Remember, this is 10:45. So now we're at 11:30. So we show up to the other one at noon, and I start filling it out. You know, walk in. Sorry, we have no more walk in appointments available today.

[Ray]

I mean, it's New Year's Day.

[Co-host]

You've got to be kidding me. You've got to be kidding me. So my wife is going to see her old roommate and hang out. And I call her, said, listen, you've got to find me an urgent care.

[Ray]

Yeah, cancel that crap. We don't care if she's going to hang out with Javier.

[Co-host]

And so her friend Ashley comes through in the clutch with like, oh, we go to this place all the time, and it seems to work out well. So we drive 18 minutes to that place.

[Ray]

Why does Ashley go there all the time?

[Co-host]

She has two kids.

[Ray]

Oh, I thought it was her, dude.

[Co-host]

Maybe she has three kids. I don't remember.

[Ray]

What does he have?

[Co-host]

Anyway, so we. He's an Eagles fan. Anyway, we drive over there.

[Ray]

You guys recently had some sort of transmittable diseases.

[Co-host]

So we drive over there, fill it out, and we get right in. It's beautiful. Oh, my gosh. They got a nice fig tree, little fig tree, miniature fig tree in their lobby. They're so friendly. We get right in the room.

[Ray]

What the does that have to do with anything?

[Co-host]

I'm just giving you some diva details, man. Ambiance, Ray.

[Ray]

They had a painting up there on the wall of money leaving my wallet.

[Co-host]

And they were so nice. They get us in a room. We only waited about 15 minutes. They come in, the lady asks what's going on? She swabs his throat, and then she leaves a little test right there on the counter so we can see it. And you see the double red line. Strep throat positive. Only problem is they didn't come back in the room for over an hour. We sat in there and we were making so much noise, we stuck our head out twice, we went to the bathroom twice, and we sat there for a freaking hour, dude. It was. It was supposed to be a quick little trip for a strep test. And they find the doctor, finally comes in, is like, oh, you know, yeah, it looks like you're positive. I'll call in your medication. Sorry for the wait. The wait was forever.

[Ray]

Was she hot?

[Co-host]

No, not. And so that would have helped what was supposed to be like a little 20 minute endeavor. We drove to the HEB, we got the medication, we got home, we were gone for three and a half hours for a strep test. Not worth. Was brutal. Not worth it, man. Brutal, man. And then we got the medicine, and the next day, January 2nd, we got in the car and we drove back to Nashville and that was the end of our vacation. Yeah, man, until we woke up on Saturday morning and baby box three was like, my throat hurts. And we made an appointment with our pediatrician that Saturday morning, and we went in. He goes, oh, I see you guys went in for croup. He goes, as a parent, that is one of the two scariest things you can experience is croup. And baby box three positive for strep up. Congratulations. That was my vacation.

[Ray]

Yeah, man.

[Co-host]

That was a lot. Dude, I'm telling you, you go on vacation with us, something's gonna bad's gonna happen.

[Ray]

Oh, no, no, no, I won't.

[Co-host]

Something bad is going to happen, right?

[Ray]

You're gonna trip over a bird feeder. You're gonna get croup. You're gonna have to make a wreath neck. Or you're gonna get strap or sit in a waiting room for five hours.

[Co-host]

Brutal, man. Happy holidays. Happy holidays, everybody.

[Ray]

That was good, man. That was good. Wednesday, I got a story from O'Reilly's. Let's just call it. I believe it's also called O Charlie's. It's a good one. It's. It's a good one. It's a good one, man.

[Co-host]

I didn't mean to take all your time, man. I, I just.

[Ray]

No, I said I'm. I'll be prepared to share stories from Jamaica March 8th.

[Co-host]

March 8th.

[Ray]

But the Wednesday I can share a story from O'Reilly's.

[Co-host]

Oh, man.

[Ray]

It is about the elderly community.

[Co-host]

Hopefully. Those stories were good, man.

[Ray]

I think they were. A lot of people drive and listen to us when people. I was at the pool. People are listening to this crap. Anything works now. You basically had fart into a microphone. People listen to it.

[Co-host]

Yeah, it was rough, man. I mean, we.

[Ray]

That case, right?

[Co-host]

Hey, now that you said that, I'll just bring the fart guns in on Wednesday and we'll just do fart guns all day. Gosh. Let's go. Sorry that was so long, dude. I know that's not what you want to do your first day back. Stay here so late. Let's get out of here. Oh, yeah. Batter's box. Couldn't even watch the game with me, man. Couldn't even watch the game with me.

[Ray]

Superstitious.

[Co-host]

You know what he texted me this weekend when they were playing the Seahawks because, man, I don't like his wearing special uniforms for this game. Just wear the classic.

[Ray]

I thought the exact same thing.

[Co-host]

I did love.

[Ray]

What was the good vibe that I liked from Texans. No, no. Who'd they play?

[Co-host]

Who? The Niners? The Seahawks.

[Ray]

Niners, Niners, Seahawks.

[Co-host]

They got right.

[Ray]

So I went to bed and woke up and they had possessions where they could have scored.

[Co-host]

Yep.

[Ray]

But they didn't see because I think they're sneaky. Good. I did not like that jersey choice. I'm with batter's box on that. Why did we go coloring book? Why not go old school, kid? Wear the whites if you're gonna bring home it. The win in battle, kid. Go classics. Why are we doing color rush on an important Sunday night game? I didn't like the color rush either. I'm with batter's box. I woke up in the morning to Sports Center. I said, what the hell were they wearing? Because I'm against the Seattle team. That's a weird team, man. A lot of weird stuff happened up there in the Pacific Northwest.

[Co-host]

I mean, that Niners game came on the TV and I'm proud of baby Box. He goes, dad, I don't think I've ever seen the Niners wear those uniforms. This kid's paying attention, man. He is paying attention. Go Titans. Right man. Go Bears. Good job yesterday. Idiots.

[Ray]

Everybody's team in the building made the playoffs except for me and Pitts, Chiefs and Titans. Everybody else made it.

[Co-host]

And the guy that used to be on this podcast, Cowboys, they didn't make it.

[Ray]

Carolina Panthers, Brit, Bears, Packers, Broncos, Pittsburgh. That's it.

[Co-host]

Yeah, that's it. That's it, man.

[Ray]

This is an I heart podcast.
