[Batter's Box]

Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah. He would throw a fit and run up to his bedroom.

[Cam Jordan]

No, I.

[Toolbox]

No, he wouldn't stay in. I'd block the doorway. It was like, good God almighty. Just behave and you can come out. But no easel screaming and yelling, I'm coming out.

Oh, and the kids keep opening the door. They think they're funny.

[Cam Jordan]

Wow.

[Batter's Box]

Wow. I feel like. I feel like Chestnay's been preparing for this for three years.

[Cam Jordan]

At least an hour and a half. You know why? I'm gonna tell you why. Because he listens to the pod and he hears Ray rip on him about how chest day comes in and talks.

[Chest Day]

Every time and just so quiet. I'm not doing it this time.

[Cam Jordan]

And then. And then I was talking about doing the pod and batter's box even Said. I mean, Forrest didn't really say anything.

[Chest Day]

[Cam Jordan]

Well, you've been what? No, we're doing a podcast. You got to get lost. Kick rocks. This is going great.

[Batter's Box]

Going great.

[Cam Jordan]

And I got a question. So you show up today, batter's box. And this is the guy that, you know what? He bashes all the time.

[Batter's Box]

Oh, boy. Is this pick on me day or what?

[Cam Jordan]

Soccer should be soccer.

[Batter's Box]

Yeah.

[Cam Jordan]

And what is he wearing?

[Chest Day]

I didn't even notice.

[Cam Jordan]

A soccer hat.

[Chest Day]

Austin fc.

[Toolbox]

Did you turn.

[Batter's Box]

Turn what?

[Chest Day]

Into a soccer fan.

[Batter's Box]

I mean, I went to a game or two.

[Toolbox]

He got free tickets.

[Chest Day]

That's. You know, I'm sure.

[Batter's Box]

I actually worked at concession stand one time for the Little League for proceeds.

[Cam Jordan]

I know.

[Batter's Box]

I'm just wear the hat. Okay. I would not say I'm a mega soccer fan. No.

[Cam Jordan]

But the fact that you actually wear a soccer hat is pretty surprising, because you tell me. Oh, soccer is so stupid. It's so boring. Why are we doing this?

[Chest Day]

Yeah, you're repping soccer. I didn't think that would ever happen on a pod day.

[Batter's Box]

Yeah, I mean, I admit I've inched a little bit closer.

[Cam Jordan]

Oh, tell us more.

[Batter's Box]

I've inched a little. It's. It's kind of fun. Going to the Austin FC game. It's fun. I would not say I'm a soccer fan.

[Toolbox]

Did you pay to go to a game?

[Batter's Box]

I have, and I. Yes, I have.

[Toolbox]

You guys quit knocking.

[Cam Jordan]

Kick rocks.

[Toolbox]

Can't come in.

[Batter's Box]

I have paid to go to a game.

[Cam Jordan]

Well, because here I was talking to your son yesterday. It was Christmas. And he told me I have not one, but two messy jerseys.

[Batter's Box]

It's very true.

[Toolbox]

Wow. Wow.

[Batter's Box]

Yeah. Santa Claus delivered some messy jerseys this year.

[Cam Jordan]

He told me that it was Messi from Argentina.

[Batter's Box]

Yep.

[Cam Jordan]

And when Messi played for Barcelona.

[Batter's Box]

Yep.

[Toolbox]

Who the hell gave you those?

[Cam Jordan]

Santa Claus did. But how did he know? Like, how did he become a messy fan?

[Batter's Box]

He's been really into soccer. And, dude, I guess at school they talk about Messi all the time. Because he knows Messi, and he watches. He'll search it up on YouTube watching Messy Highlights. And he talks about Messi all the time. Like, it's his favorite part.

[Chest Day]

I'm pretty proud of you. You're pretty open minded for this. I know it was probably tough to realize your son became a soccer fan.

[Batter's Box]

But he's a fan of all the sports now.

[Toolbox]

Wait a minute. I'm the all time. I went to cross country meets. Oh, let's be.

[Cam Jordan]

Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on. But tell me something. After going to those cross country meets, they're pretty freaking impressive. White.

[Batter's Box]

It's impressive. More boring.

[Toolbox]

And you hurry over to some part of the other course and then you run by.

[Batter's Box]

Hey.

[Toolbox]

And then you go to the finish line. So you see him a total of one minute.

[Cam Jordan]

That's it. Yes, but what about the start of a cross country race? It's the most fascinating thing in the world.

[Batter's Box]

You line a stretch.

[Cam Jordan]

Oh my gosh, you know, 200 people.

[Batter's Box]

Most fascinating thing in the world.

[Cam Jordan]

It is like a stampede.

[Toolbox]

Oh, I was just blown away.

[Batter's Box]

Blown away.

[Toolbox]

I go, I search out every Saturday, see if there's a me going on.

[Cam Jordan]

I mean, listen to me. Hold on. Let's be real.

[Batter's Box]

I mean the stampede is kind of.

[Cam Jordan]

Interesting, but I mean the stampede is incredible.

[Toolbox]

I keep hoping someone will fall over, but they.

[Batter's Box]

You're using these words like the most interesting thing in the world and incredible. I think that's.

[Toolbox]

That makes such an exaggeration.

[Cam Jordan]

Dude, the sounds there.

[Toolbox]

I'm not using those words.

[Cam Jordan]

Hold on. The sound of 200 people sprinting and funneling in and trying to get to the front of the pack. That is like freaking awesome.

[Toolbox]

You understand we're not that close. We don't hear that. You may hear it, but I don't even still.

[Cam Jordan]

And it's not like.

[Batter's Box]

I mean, it's right up there with.

[Toolbox]

I will admit I went to a track meet and the stands are pretty close to the track. And hearing the hundred yard dash, that is. I could actually hear the running. I. I was impressed. They were. Because they're. You don't think of runners as. But sprinters have muscles and it's pretty. I was impressed with that. As much noise as me and cross.

[Cam Jordan]

Country guys have muscle.

[Toolbox]

That's right. That's right.

[Cam Jordan]

But the cool thing is at least you didn't have to wait long because I was at the front most of the time.

[Batter's Box]

Sore losers. Nation has waited a long time for this and we're talking about cross country. What is happening?

[Chest Day]

That was his bread and butter, though. I went to one meet. I do remember that. And did you go to one meet? Of course.

[Batter's Box]

It's boring as hell.

[Chest Day]

The ending was fun, though.

[Cam Jordan]

Thank you.

[Chest Day]

The ending was fun.

[Batter's Box]

What do you mean? You see, well, you.

[Chest Day]

That's when you kind of get.

[Batter's Box]

One guy comes next, guy crosses the finish line.

[Toolbox]

I want to know how was. You saw softball playoffs, right?

[Chest Day]

Oh, no, never. Never really got the chance to miss that window of my life to see softball playoffs.

[Cam Jordan]

Oh, man.

[Chest Day]

But here.

[Cam Jordan]

I will go back to the softball thing in a minute, but I want to say that no teeth Keith, he came to a cross country meet one time. One time. And afterwards, this is what he told me. He said, kid, that was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. And he was like, it didn't matter if you were racing for first and second or if it was last and next to last. You were. Everybody was sprinting that last hundred meters and given everything in their soul, they left it out there, and it was beautiful.

[Batter's Box]

That's great. He always had Keith, the most hyperbolic person on the face of the planet.

[Toolbox]

What. What are you doing with our room?

[Batter's Box]

This is my room.

[Cam Jordan]

We're doing a podcast. Well, you'll get your room back when it's time for bed, but right now, we're talking to the nation.

[Toolbox]

We're laying on your bed.

[Chest Day]

We did jack the room.

[Cam Jordan]

Yeah, yeah. We took the air mattress out, threw.

[Toolbox]

It down the hall.

[Cam Jordan]

Like, it is over. And it is. It is a sweat box in here. It's really hot. It is. I mean, we might end up doing this shirtless.

[Batter's Box]

I feel like it was hotter downstairs.

[Cam Jordan]

Well, the problem is I have to turn the fan off because I can't have in this. The. The sound. Just open the window. We could do that, but then I would have to take a break, and I'd have to get up from the pod, and I don't know what you talk about, but we could talk about the.

[Toolbox]

Hey, we're men.

[Batter's Box]

We're filibuster sweat.

[Toolbox]

There you go.

[Cam Jordan]

Bring us back.

[Toolbox]

I've never called Two Box. I've never heard so many people were taking pictures.

[Cam Jordan]

I'm on. I'm on.

[Toolbox]

I'm like, oh, good God almighty. It's five minutes.

[Chest Day]

That's the reset we needed right there.

[Cam Jordan]

No, no, I understand, but it is uncomfortable to sit in a hot room.

[Batter's Box]

In a sweatshirt with a bunch of people.

[Cam Jordan]

But here's the thing. You guys keep this house on 85.

[Batter's Box]

You're used to it.

[Cam Jordan]

You're used to it. Well, I mean, hot or cold, like, it's weird. Like. Like in the winter. Like, we keep our house on 68 degrees.

[Batter's Box]

Oh, my gosh.

[Chest Day]

Nice that's good. That's like sleeping tip.

[Toolbox]

My kid, you go to bed in the summer and they wear. Put blankets over them. Who keeps your house so cold you gotta have blankets on in the summer?

[Cam Jordan]

99% of America.

[Batter's Box]

I do.

[Chest Day]

Wait, are we talking.

[Batter's Box]

We are sleeping comfortable to sleep when it's hot.

[Chest Day]

Wait, no blankets in the sleep at all?

[Cam Jordan]

Yes.

[Chest Day]

Wow. I don't know anybody does that.

[Toolbox]

Exactly.

[Cam Jordan]

They keep it so hot so you don't have to use blankets.

[Batter's Box]

You can't use blankets.

[Cam Jordan]

Right.

[Chest Day]

But here the goal is no blankets.

[Cam Jordan]

That's.

[Chest Day]

My mind's blown.

[Cam Jordan]

Which is interesting, but I understand what you're saying about the summer, but the winter. Like in Nashville, like, when we left Nashville, it was 20 degrees. So at night it's getting down to zero. So we keep it at 68. That's still cold. Wow.

[Batter's Box]

It's very cold.

[Cam Jordan]

You know what I'm saying? Like, but you come here and they have it set to 78. That's hot for us because we're used to it being so cold outside.

[Chest Day]

Oh, yeah, yeah. You've lost some of that Texas for sure.

[Cam Jordan]

When we come in, the, like, your.

[Chest Day]

Accents kind of slip and. Got it.

[Cam Jordan]

Well, not the accent, but, yes. My toughness has slipped because we come in the summer.

[Batter's Box]

I mean, not that you were ever really that tough.

[Cam Jordan]

And I am like. And I think, how do you guys live in this heat? I think about that when I come visit. I'm like, I grew up in this. How am I such. How has it gone from like, where I'm like, oh, man, I'd go out and run at noon on a Tuesday in the summer to now. I'm like, oh, my God, it's so hot.

[Batter's Box]

But I think it's hotter than it used to be.

[Cam Jordan]

I think it is.

[Toolbox]

Oh, I know it is.

[Batter's Box]

But I remember 90s, not 110. Crazy.

[Toolbox]

Well, but the. I don't even think it's the temperature part. This. There's something different about the sun because I've worked my whole life outside. You don't believe that.

[Batter's Box]

No, I'm still on. We've gone from cross country to weather.

[Cam Jordan]

Hold on.

[Batter's Box]

This is. What the hell is happening?

[Cam Jordan]

Are we putting you to sleep? We're old.

[Batter's Box]

Yeah, kind of.

[Cam Jordan]

Well, you went. Fell asleep in the orange chair yesterday, so it's no different. Don't worry about it.

[Batter's Box]

I mean, what are we talking about next?

[Cam Jordan]

No, hold on. Go ahead. About the sun, because I can.

[Toolbox]

I'm fine. The heat doesn't bother me, but the sun does bother me. If I'M in the shade and it's 100 degrees. I'm fine.

[Cam Jordan]

Yeah.

[Toolbox]

If I'm standing in the sun, it is hot.

[Batter's Box]

This is riveting, guys.

[Toolbox]

And I worked. I mean, I built new houses, and there was no trees around, and so I was used to the sun. So anyway, I just think it is.

[Cam Jordan]

I do believe the sun is different. And I do think, like, I thought, oh, my God, what a bunch of pansies. When playgrounds were building those little, like, shade structures over them.

[Chest Day]

That's genius.

[Cam Jordan]

And I now look at it. I'm like, how smart were these people?

[Toolbox]

You are pansies. We had metal slides.

[Cam Jordan]

Well, so did we.

[Batter's Box]

And we never drank water.

[Toolbox]

We didn't.

[Chest Day]

We didn't either.

[Cam Jordan]

Nowadays, it's like, here we go. All the kids.

[Batter's Box]

Here we go.

[Toolbox]

They have their water bottles. We're going to the. We're going five block. They gotta have their water bottles.

[Cam Jordan]

He's dead right on this. He is dead right on this. Because we have spoiled the kids with water at the mercy of every step. It's like they can't go 30 seconds without water or they're gonna die. It's the craziest thing.

[Toolbox]

It's not just water. Snacks, too. We gotta bring snacks.

[Cam Jordan]

We don't. We don't do the snacks. We don't bring snacks. But I will agree with you.

[Toolbox]

I won't say who does, but it's like, goodness, your daughter.

[Cam Jordan]

Your daughter. You don't have to say it, but we will.

[Batter's Box]

I know you're not talking about me.

[Cam Jordan]

I. I totally understand what you're saying about the water, because there. But there are no water fountains anywhere. And if people. I would. I mean, they drink out of the hose at the house. Like, they can drink out of the hose, but other. You can't just go to a random house like we would and just drink out of their hose. People get pissed. Like, now people are more angry and more territorial about their stuff. Like a water hose. Who cares if a kid goes up and drinks out of your water hose? We did it all the time.

[Toolbox]

I was talking to a neighbor because we have a rope and different things in the swing in the front yard. And she goes, they always want to come. I said, well, if my. She won't let their grandkids come over and do it. And I said, my theory is, if you put a swing in your front yard, it's fair game. You walk by you, you can swing. If you don't want kids swinging on your swing, put it in the backyard 100%.

[Cam Jordan]

It's community property. If it's in the front yard, it's sort of like if you have a basketball goal by the curb, it's in your driveway, but it's by the curb.

[Chest Day]

I've never heard this argument, but that makes.

[Cam Jordan]

Can I. Can I shoot? Am I allowed to shoot on your hoop, or are you going to get mad? I shoot on your hoop.

[Chest Day]

That's different than the swing. I don't know why, but it is.

[Batter's Box]

Joe, what are your thoughts, guys?

[Toolbox]

You don't carry a basketball around with you.

[Batter's Box]

You.

[Cam Jordan]

But they have baskets. Like, there's one in my neighborhood that they have it in their grass, and they have the basketballs on the hoop for the kids. So I'm like, oh, we can shoot on that, no problem. That's fair.

[Chest Day]

That's right.

[Toolbox]

That's fair.

[Cam Jordan]

No one's ever said anything to me.

[Toolbox]

If you leave this.

[Batter's Box]

The problem with letting it just having a community swing in your yard. Someone's gonna get sued. When someone gets hurt, I promise you it's gonna happen.

[Toolbox]

I'll tell you what we went to this Halloween or Christmas decorations. These people had a working snow slide in their front yard.

[Cam Jordan]

Fantastic.

[Toolbox]

The coolest always said, you just don't see that because you get that jerk.

[Cam Jordan]

That.

[Batter's Box]

But if you're out there when they're doing it, it's fine.

[Toolbox]

But, like, why is it fine? You still get sued.

[Batter's Box]

Well, I mean.

[Toolbox]

I mean, but I. I figure I'll bring everybody to court and be a witness saying, you're a dumb ass. Got on the swing. Your fault.

[Cam Jordan]

Yeah, how is it my fault? Like, if you. If you sit in front of a jury and a jury says, oh, yeah, it's your fault. You had the swing out, then America is just, we're stupid. We become dumb.

[Toolbox]

Well, we are dumb. I'm sorry. They sue a playground.

[Batter's Box]

It's like, just to update the count. We've gone from cross country to everybody keep a score weather to now local HOA politics. Got it. I mean, we're on fire. We're on fire, guys.

[Toolbox]

There's no sports.

[Batter's Box]

This is gonna shoot right at the top of the charts.

[Cam Jordan]

I. I don't understand. Like, this is great topics. This is what people want.

[Batter's Box]

[Cam Jordan]

Okay, all right, we'll take a break. No, no, we'll take a break. Hold on. We'll take a break.

[Batter's Box]

Is there a commercial?

[Cam Jordan]

Yeah, we'll take a break.

[Toolbox]

When did you do commercials?

[Cam Jordan]

Have you ever listened to the pod?

[Chest Day]

Come on, guys.

[Cam Jordan]

Oh, you're teasing. They can hear you.

[Batter's Box]

That's the last commercial. The most There was one commercial that ran over and over.

[Toolbox]

Oh, there's been few that run. And we're all right.

[Cam Jordan]

When we come back, Batter's Box is going to bring the topic. No, no, no, no. Because our topics suck and these conversations are flowing. But we America is bored. So Batter's Box is going to be the bring the riveting stuff. Okay? So rack your brain. I know what it is.

[Toolbox]

LeBron's better than Jordan was.

[Cam Jordan]

No, we're not doing that. He said he's not bringing that to the pod. So the riveting conversation. Batter's Box leads the conversation right after this.

I thought that was the dog food.

That you got like an erectile.

[Batter's Box]

Oh, it's like a Viagra thing.

[Toolbox]

Yes.

[Cam Jordan]

Oh, no, I'm fine with that. Don't worry.

Oh, yeah. I mean, also, tampons.

[Toolbox]

There you go.

[Cam Jordan]

I don't care.

[Batter's Box]

Anything. Is anything off limits?

[Cam Jordan]

There's some things off limits.

[Toolbox]

Ah, he's really got a thing.

[Cam Jordan]

No, they. They come to us with some like, weird stuff like mental health medicine, like schizophrenia. And it's like, I don't have anything to do with that.

[Batter's Box]

Oh, so y' all have actually turned stuff down?

[Cam Jordan]

Oh, yeah. Because they come to you with some random stuff.

[Chest Day]

It's like, what sales will bring anything to the table?

[Cam Jordan]

Anything. They. They do not care. And it's like. Well, I don't have anything. Any relation to that.

[Chest Day]

Yep.

[Cam Jordan]

I mean, I don't know anything about that. You know what I mean? It's like, I don't know how to.

[Toolbox]

When did that stop you?

[Cam Jordan]

I'm just telling.

[Toolbox]

Knowing anything about something, you'll talk about anything.

[Cam Jordan]

Obviously boring stuff too, because.

[Batter's Box]

What were you going to tell me there today? About my golf game.

[Cam Jordan]

Oh, yeah. So let me tell you for our chest day. Sorry.

[Toolbox]

God.

[Cam Jordan]

Got to get out of that habit.

[Toolbox]

We went to play park that on the thing so we can edit it.

[Cam Jordan]

Well, there's a problem. I'm just going to upload this to a Dropbox. I don't have the editing software on my computer and it'll just Be going up as is.

[Toolbox]

Do you know I just cussed my.

[Cam Jordan]

That I had to bleep that. Oh, yeah.

[Batter's Box]

So you know how to upload something, bro.

[Cam Jordan]

I've been doing that. Listen, how smooth was this compared to the years past?

[Chest Day]

Oh, this is unbelievably smooth.

[Batter's Box]

Oh, we've been. We. It took that one year. It took us almost an hour and a half in the studio.

[Toolbox]

We all took naps.

[Batter's Box]

That was brutal.

[Cam Jordan]

And.

[Batter's Box]

And lunch was so pissed the whole time.

[Cam Jordan]

It was frustrating. It was stressful because you have all these people there waiting on you, and I couldn't figure it out.

[Batter's Box]

When we started out, it was awkward because he's like, all grumpy and, well.

[Toolbox]

We all thought he was a professional.

[Batter's Box]

Right?

[Toolbox]

And it's like you didn't know what.

[Batter's Box]

The hell he was doing.

[Cam Jordan]

Here's the problem. When you go to a studio you don't use, it's all different. It's like, ah, man, they got it set up different.

[Batter's Box]

It's like switches and buttons.

[Cam Jordan]

Switches and buttons. And guess who on, off, guess who doesn't run those switches and buttons? This guy.

[Batter's Box]

Yeah, but you could, like, you know.

[Toolbox]

In all these years, you should learn.

[Batter's Box]

A little bit, absorb some knowledge.

[Cam Jordan]

Oh, my gosh.

[Chest Day]

You were seeing it right now.

[Cam Jordan]

You guys talk such a big game and this is such a fun topic because you've had 30 minutes now to come up with a topic and you got nothing.

[Batter's Box]

30 minutes. I just brought one. What about.

[Cam Jordan]

My God, the secret you want in my. You want me to bring the.

[Batter's Box]

That's the topic.

[Cam Jordan]

Okay, so the other day they tried to go to Butler pitch and putt, which is a little par three course here in Austin. And they were taking the grandkids. They were taking my three kids, Batter's boxes, son, grandpa batter's box and myself were going. And I was running late because my wife decided she need to go get her ear pierced.

[Batter's Box]

Careful warning.

[Toolbox]

They don't hear some in Tennessee.

[Cam Jordan]

I mean, like, there's no tread lightly. She could have done this in Tennessee. No chance.

[Batter's Box]

Tread lightly.

[Cam Jordan]

I will get more into this with Ray because he'll understand my frustration. And she won't listen to that pod, so I will wait to vent on that one. She's probably going to go back and listen to this one. So we'll just wait. So granny.

[Toolbox]

Well, now she probably won't listen to that one.

[Cam Jordan]

Hat box needed a ride to church, and my wife had taken the car.

[Toolbox]

Well, the reason she needed a ride is because the car was gone.

[Cam Jordan]

Well, you're. I Was. Oh, that was the next sentence. Okay, I'm sorry, because my wife.

[Toolbox]

I did mean interrupt.

[Cam Jordan]

You took her car to go get her ears pierced. So Granny didn't have a ride to the church, so I had to take Granny to church. And Granny was like, you want to come in with me? I was like, oh, no. My wife will be here to pick you up. I'm going to go play golf with the boys. I'm going to golf. And I keep texting my wife. Are you done yet? No, not yet. Oh, I'm just now sitting down in the chair.

[Batter's Box]

How long does it take to Pierce.

[Cam Jordan]

Thank you. It took two hours. But we'll get into that more with Ray because I'm gonna vent when she's not listening.

[Batter's Box]

Okay.

[Cam Jordan]

Okay. So the whole church service went by, and I sat in the parking lot. So I could have gone to church with Granny, but I didn't go to church. But I was there like, what a son. I know. And so then I drive.

[Toolbox]

Granny just use that excuse. The church would have started on fire.

[Cam Jordan]

I drive back, Granny, get her home, and then they call me, and they still haven't teed off at the Butler pitching putt. And it's been two hours now.

[Toolbox]

Listen to this. I am stuck with his three kids. I was stuck. Maybe that's the wrong word.

[Batter's Box]

Whatever. Oh.

[Cam Jordan]

Oh, man. Did you guys hear that?

[Toolbox]

Wow.

[Cam Jordan]

Do you know it just got off.

[Toolbox]

I'm trying to entertain them. Why we wait at the pitch and putt. Now, they have other games, but of course, all the adults are playing the. What is it? When they throw the cornhole. Cornhole. So we go out to the practice putting green.

[Batter's Box]

Oh.

[Toolbox]

The day before, we had gone up to the local school, and we were trying to hit golf. You know, swing. So we're sort of used to swinging and hitting a golf.

[Cam Jordan]

Nobody's home.

[Toolbox]

And I had to explain to him.

[Batter's Box]

What?

[Cam Jordan]

Sorry. Go away. We.

[Toolbox]

I had to explain to them that we are not driving off the putting.

[Cam Jordan]

Green because we were just doing drivers at the local school. Yeah. Pride didn't swing.

[Batter's Box]

And so at the pitching, the putting service, they were thinking, let's get the drivers out.

[Toolbox]

We didn't have three putters, so there was a driver out as a putter because it's sort of flat on the bottom and.

[Batter's Box]

Gotcha.

[Toolbox]

Anyway, so we did pretty good until.

[Cam Jordan]

I looked over And Baby Box 1.

[Toolbox]

Is taking his club and just pounding the green. I'm like, these people are going to shoot us. There are some people there. It's unbelievable. I don't know you think they're professional golfers, but I'm like, okay, what do.

[Cam Jordan]

You mean, what do they do?

[Toolbox]

Take forever to tee off. Unbelievable. They have routines.

[Batter's Box]

It's like, come on, people, 15 practice swings. One dude set the club on the ground to line up his feet, took five more practice shots, and then hit a ground ball.

[Cam Jordan]

I mean, if an elevated te box.

[Batter's Box]

By the way, like, you're here because.

[Toolbox]

You really aren't a golfer or you're with your grand. I mean, I'm not a golf.

[Batter's Box]

This is the pitching putt, where you can bring, like, your wedge and your putter and carry a six pack of beer and walk like there's no carts.

[Cam Jordan]

That's not bad. That's not a bad place.

[Batter's Box]

No, it's awesome place. But, like.

[Toolbox]

And it's very relaxed. I mean, I will say maybe because we had the kids and wanted to do it and we were on a time schedule because we had to get to see Santa, but.

[Cam Jordan]

Right.

[Batter's Box]

My point is, it's an awesome place. But the people who are now going on to the tee box forget how long they just had to wait because they have to gather up their stuff and, you know, get Billy Joe from the bathroom and the other one's over at the food truck. And then each one of them have to take 20 practice shots before they tee off. And, you know, it adds to.

[Cam Jordan]

Oh, and that's the time. Ridiculous. So pitch and putt was out. I'm finally making my way down there. And I said, guys, why don't we just shift and go to Peter Pan Mini Golf? They're like, oh, great idea.

[Toolbox]

Which is two blocks away. Not bad.

[Cam Jordan]

Yeah, like, let's just go there. So we rolled to Peter Pan Mini Golf. It's crowded, but guess what? We're right in.

[Toolbox]

No, no, we're not.

[Cam Jordan]

Oh, you're not.

[Toolbox]

Parking is horrible. You don't want anybody there because there's no parking places.

[Cam Jordan]

Well, you just go right to the lot next door and you pay for it. I mean, that's what I did. I drove over there and paid.

[Toolbox]

Well, we're not all.

[Cam Jordan]

You know, it was $16 for three hours.

[Batter's Box]

Rich. Rich.

[Toolbox]

Yeah, we don't do that.

[Chest Day]

We don't do that.

[Cam Jordan]

You don't pay $5. I mean, come on, man.

[Chest Day]

You keep driving.

[Cam Jordan]

Okay, Ray. I mean, I know you guys are going to stress out about getting a parking ticket. Whatever. So we go and play golf.

[Toolbox]

I don't know.

[Cam Jordan]

We play mini golf and batter's box. Like, oh, we're keeping score. We're keeping Score. And he did great for the first seven holes.

[Batter's Box]

Thirteen holes.

[Cam Jordan]

And then he crumbled. He crumbled like a freaking cookie in a kid's hand. He. In his golf game, what it reminded me of was Philip Rivers. He looks great. Great, great. Pick six up, game over. There you go. He looks fine as he comes back when he's 46 years old. Philip Rivers. Yeah, that's what your golf game at the putt putt course reminded me of. You were looking great, just like he was against the Niners. Then he throws the pick six, Everything blows up. Game over.

[Batter's Box]

It was already blown up by then.

[Cam Jordan]

That's exactly what happened to you.

[Batter's Box]

You went up by 21.

[Cam Jordan]

You went full Philip Rivers. Everybody's like, oh, he's looking good. He's analogy.

[Batter's Box]

Good gosh.

[Cam Jordan]

And you got smoked. Got smoked. Smoked at putt putt. By yours truly. I mean, toolbox. Let me tell you. He fell apart after five holes. It was bad. It was bad. He was in it for a minute, and then it was just like, we're gonna stop keeping.

[Batter's Box]

It wasn't seven holes. It was like it was the back nine.

[Toolbox]

Yeah.

[Cam Jordan]

You got tired. What happened?

[Batter's Box]

One tough hole where the damn bridge thing that bounced back. Remember that?

[Cam Jordan]

Yeah, yeah, it was rough.

[Batter's Box]

It was a tough angle. And then that just. That was it.

[Cam Jordan]

And I did keep the scorecard, and I forgot to frame it for Christmas. I didn't. I didn't have time to. I didn't have time to get a picture frame. It was my fault, one and everything, though. Oh, I want.

[Chest Day]

I want to see Joe score, too. But what was it? How much were you behind?

[Cam Jordan]

Five. Five strokes on an 18 hole.

[Chest Day]

Remembers.

[Cam Jordan]

Yeah. Oh, yeah. Come on. Now I've got a memory. Like.

[Batter's Box]

But he doesn't have a real golf scorecard because he doesn't ever invite me when he goes, so.

[Chest Day]

Shots fired.

[Cam Jordan]

Oh, that's weird, because I was in San Antonio like, a month and a half ago, and I said, hey, man, I land at 10am Wait a minute.

[Toolbox]

Is this what we're talking about? Golf?

[Cam Jordan]

Oh, it's boring in it.

[Batter's Box]

At least it's sports, guys. At least it's for getting warmer.

[Cam Jordan]

Joe, do you realize. You realize people care about lifestyle more than they care about sports?

[Batter's Box]

No, no, I. I disagree with that. No one does that. No one.

[Cam Jordan]

Oh, my gosh. Everybody that listens, all 365 people that listen to this care, hear about. They like to hear stories.

[Batter's Box]

I listen, and I'm not one of.

[Cam Jordan]

Those, but they like listening to our interactions and our stories. Chest day. What do you know?

[Chest Day]

I'm saying, I listen to. But I love the lifestyle and then a little trickle of the sport.

[Cam Jordan]

Thank you.

[Chest Day]

Especially when there's wild stories.

[Batter's Box]

You have the right to be wrong.

[Cam Jordan]

Yes. And he talks about. I don't invite him to play golf. It's just because I came back in May for the iHeart Festival and I already had a. I had a foursome. It was me, Greg, Garrett, Jacob. So what? What was I going to do? I can't squeeze him in. He can't make the.

[Batter's Box]

I didn't make the cut.

[Cam Jordan]

There was no room.

[Batter's Box]

I'm. What?

[Chest Day]

I don't know.

[Batter's Box]

Fourth on the depth chart.

[Chest Day]

I don't know how that works.

[Cam Jordan]

Terrible. Here's the rules.

[Batter's Box]

I thought I was his brother.

[Cam Jordan]

You're not at 5. I don't know the rules. No, you only have a 4, especially on a weekend. I thought brother though you are my brother.

[Batter's Box]

Beat out Greg or Forest or whatever.

[Cam Jordan]

Oh, here's the deal. And I was gonna see him on Sunday.

[Chest Day]

This is the good stuff.

[Cam Jordan]

I was gonna see him on Sunday.

[Batter's Box]

So there's no his counters like, hey, tomorrow can you drive all the way to San Antonio to play golf at 10am no, I'm not doing that.

[Cam Jordan]

That's not how I said it. It's not how I said it.

[Chest Day]

Okay, go ahead.

[Cam Jordan]

I gave him three weeks notice. I said, hey, man, I'm going to be in San Antonio and it's a Monday. I get in at 10am and I can play golf at 11 because I don't have to be to the venue till 6. Would you like to play golf? No, I'm not doing that. All right, cool, man. Thanks. And now back to our regular scheduling program.

[Batter's Box]

Drive two hours golf, drive home two hours.

[Chest Day]

But he gave you three weeks.

[Toolbox]

Do you drive in San Antonio an hour away?

[Batter's Box]

Hour and 15, 25 years ago. Oh, have you driven through Austin?

[Toolbox]

Well, yeah.

[Cam Jordan]

Still.

[Chest Day]

This is your once in a year chance.

[Cam Jordan]

Right, but. So your brother invited to play golf is actually false.

[Batter's Box]

Okay, once in the last.

[Cam Jordan]

And I am going on Sunday. Is he invited? No.

[Batter's Box]

Exactly. There you go. Case in point.

[Cam Jordan]

But I didn't set this up. Garrett did. He hit me up and said, hey, and he sent it to me.

[Chest Day]

Got another point, Joe? I mean, it's going back and forth. It's going to be a tough game down the wire.

[Batter's Box]

He's here. He wants to play golf. Hey, how about setting some up? You set it up. Make the invites.

[Chest Day]

But he's coming in town. I feel like this is your account Joe.

[Cam Jordan]

Yeah.

[Chest Day]

Your account.

[Cam Jordan]

To set up the golf or the.

[Chest Day]

Person coming in town.

[Batter's Box]

This is your house, your hometown vacation guest. I mean.

[Cam Jordan]

What do you mean? I'm not a vacation guest. I haven't lived here in 13 years.

[Chest Day]

I wanna. I wanna be on your side on this. But you have to set up the golf as the home base agent.

[Batter's Box]

No, he's the big celebrity.

[Chest Day]

This is your account.

[Batter's Box]

He's got the hookups.

[Toolbox]

Well, say, hey, I'm gonna make a rain. Set up a tea time.

[Batter's Box]

Set up a tea time.

[Toolbox]

Tell me.

[Chest Day]

Yeah, you could set up a tee.

[Cam Jordan]

Time with Toolbox, or he could have said, hey, when you're in town, do you dad and so and so want to go play golf? What's your time street worth?

[Chest Day]

I know we all want to be.

[Cam Jordan]

Want.

[Chest Day]

Definitely want to be wanted, but. Joe, I'm sorry.

[Batter's Box]

I'm good.

[Cam Jordan]

It's. It's just like. It's just like Romer's Christmas Eve party. She hits me up and she says, hey, Amy, this girl we grew up with, we have the same birthday, same wedding date. Me and her, we've known each other since sixth grade. And so she was like, oh, he's hot. He's got no water.

[Chest Day]

He's.

[Cam Jordan]

He's calling for freshman. Toughen up.

[Batter's Box]

Bunch of pansies.

[Cam Jordan]

She hits me on Christmas Eve. Hey, you go to my Christmas Eve party tonight? I'm like, no, who can. I have three kids. I can't get away on Christmas Eve. She's like, oh, yeah, you can just put into bed and. Come on.

[Toolbox]

What?

[Cam Jordan]

Who can sneak out on Christmas Eve when you got three young kids? Not me. Especially without three.

[Chest Day]

Bold notice, you know, three weeks notice. He might have been able to do it, maybe.

[Cam Jordan]

That's a great point. That's a great point. Hey, you got your topic yet? We're gonna come back and we're gonna hear your interesting topic right after this. We'll be right back. Well, the problem with we can't turn the AC down because it's so loud. Yeah, yeah, it's like, yeah, that's a.

[Batter's Box]

That's a shot for your. For your crappy ac.

[Cam Jordan]

No, no, no, I didn't say crappy. I just said right here where the mics are set up in your room. And can you put your. Thank you.

[Toolbox]

Are we on? I thought we were at a break.

[Cam Jordan]

Yeah, we took a break. Commercials have already played. You didn't have headphones, so you didn't hear the commercials.

[Toolbox]

Okay.

[Batter's Box]

It's technology.

[Cam Jordan]

Yeah.

[Toolbox]

You're used to being hot in your room.

[Cam Jordan]

I agree. I mean, when he would leave work. Hey, hey. 7:00 the morning, I'm leaving for work. No need to wake us up. No wake up. No need to stand at the. He would stand at the bottom of the stairs and scream until we answered. And he had turned off the air conditioning.

[Batter's Box]

Or you just walk up.

[Cam Jordan]

Well, why. Why wake us up?

[Chest Day]

Was the AC locked? Because it was. So we just didn't know how to do anything. No, we just sat down. We just sat in the heat.

[Cam Jordan]

We just took it.

[Batter's Box]

Because by the time you get up, warmed up, and we woke up, then you're already awake. You're not gonna go turn it down. It takes a while to cool back down. It's already over.

[Chest Day]

Yeah, but I have memories of being hot in the summer. But we never, like, try to do anything about it. It was just the way it was.

[Cam Jordan]

We just lived with it.

[Chest Day]

Right?

[Batter's Box]

No, because once you're up, you're up. And then it's like, all right, well, I mean, all my friends are up.

[Chest Day]

That's all it took. You didn't have to put a lock on it. You're just like, they won't figure it out.

[Toolbox]

How do you lock that?

[Cam Jordan]

Right.

[Toolbox]

It's just a regular thermostat. But, hey, I worked in. I was hot all day. Why can't you be?

[Cam Jordan]

And it got us outside. I get it. Now I want to talk about something that. I mean, this is a controversial subject. And, I mean, I. I had no idea this was going to go down this way. I've never, like, when I. I came to visit, Been here, what, four days, five days?

[Toolbox]

God, has it only been that long?

[Cam Jordan]

What the hell is that supposed to mean?

[Toolbox]

Oh, I know. Nothing, jerk.

[Cam Jordan]

Anyway, like, it's been forever. We. I'm out in the front yard and I noticed something that I have never seen before. It's all these, like, 12 and 13 year olds on electric bikes. Like, they're like motorbikes, hauling.

[Chest Day]

Okay. Stance.

[Cam Jordan]

And I am like, are these parents idiots? Like, how dumb are you? Like, if we were 13, shots fired. If we were 13 on a motorized bike. Just think about it.

[Chest Day]

I think about how far we're going.

[Toolbox]

I told him how awesome it would be.

[Chest Day]

I'm kind of team electric bike on this.

[Cam Jordan]

Okay?

[Toolbox]

Really?

[Cam Jordan]

He said, hey, toolbox said, dude, you would have been in South Austin, right?

[Chest Day]

We'd be gone.

[Cam Jordan]

Gone, Right, right. Gone.

[Toolbox]

You were gone enough on a pedal bike.

[Chest Day]

I know.

[Batter's Box]

We'd have been down. Mopac, seriously.

[Cam Jordan]

Right? And I'm like, how? And maybe I'M maybe this old man, me, I'm like a 13 year old. Is not mature enough to be going 30 miles an hour on a bike.

[Toolbox]

I'm telling you, they fly, they haul.

[Chest Day]

Thirteen is fair, though. Thirteen. There's a lot of go karts going on.

[Cam Jordan]

There's not a lot of go cars. There's one kid that had a go kart.

[Chest Day]

Well, that's one kid.

[Toolbox]

He's not going around the streets.

[Cam Jordan]

We had one kid and how'd that turn out?

[Chest Day]

35 on a bike. Okay, okay, maybe that's too much. Maybe if you could regulate to 25. Can we bring it down electronically? Regardless, I like the electric bike.

[Toolbox]

Let's go as fast as you can pedal. How's that?

[Chest Day]

I don't want to.

[Toolbox]

Why don't.

[Cam Jordan]

That's what I want to do.

[Chest Day]

But if I can go fast now I'm really about this bike.

[Cam Jordan]

Are we wrong?

[Toolbox]

And how.

[Cam Jordan]

Wait, wait, wait, wait.

[Chest Day]

This words box.

[Cam Jordan]

Are we wrong? This is where the story's going to get good. This is where the story is going to get good. I'm talking like just dangerous wise. It seems crazy. Smash cut Christmas batter's box shows up with his son who is nine. He goes, I got an electric bike. And I'm like, what?

[Batter's Box]

What?

[Cam Jordan]

How did you get an electric bike?

[Batter's Box]

You're nine, he's gonna be ten.

[Cam Jordan]

Oh, I'm like that. How fast does it go?

[Batter's Box]

I don't know.

[Cam Jordan]

So you have no idea. You just.

[Batter's Box]

I think 20.

[Cam Jordan]

Wow, that is awesome.

[Chest Day]

At 10, I love it. We're going backwards back to the old ways.

[Batter's Box]

He sounds so old.

[Cam Jordan]

No, no, I feel like that.

[Chest Day]

That's reverse. We're reversing for not going outside. And now we're giving them bikes that go 20 miles an hour.

[Batter's Box]

I feel like we're going the right direction than electric bike. We did way crazier stuff.

[Cam Jordan]

Hey, thanks for knocking on the door.

[Batter's Box]

He's going through your wallet.

[Toolbox]

Well, you did crazy stuff, but at.

[Cam Jordan]

Least you did it.

[Toolbox]

Now you just.

[Batter's Box]

Oh, that's your problem with it.

[Cam Jordan]

You had to earn your crazy stuff with your kids. We had to earn it. If you want to go to the pool, pedal your butt there.

[Chest Day]

I don't want why we got the electric bike. Why are we mad at the electric bike?

[Cam Jordan]

Here's my.

[Batter's Box]

Because they're angry old men.

[Cam Jordan]

Maybe I'm an angry.

[Batter's Box]

You feel that same way about a cell phone.

[Toolbox]

Okay.

[Batter's Box]

Earn your phone calls.

[Cam Jordan]

Put that microphone in your face so.

[Batter's Box]

We can hear you dial that phone. Earn your phone call. It's called improvement.

[Toolbox]

Talk. Go talk to your sister and find out how many kids with electric bikes are at the hospital. I'm sure you're good. I'm sure your kids very responsible. Will look both ways.

[Cam Jordan]

I know I'm not. We weren't responsible and I know that if we would had an electric bike, it have been bad news. It's sort of like scooters. When we. If scooters would have been around when we went out.

[Chest Day]

No, no, no, no.

[Cam Jordan]

We would have been.

[Chest Day]

The bike's better than the scooter.

[Cam Jordan]

Sure. But I'm talking about.

[Batter's Box]

You talking about the scooters downtown.

[Cam Jordan]

Yes. Just think about if the scooters were around when we were going out all the time.

[Chest Day]

How easy can two people fit on electric bike as part of the problem? We're going to be like, no.

[Cam Jordan]

How do you get pumped?

[Chest Day]

Can you pump on the electric bike?

[Cam Jordan]

Can you add pegs?

[Batter's Box]

I don't know.

[Chest Day]

Maybe that's coming next. They're going to figure out a way.

[Toolbox]

I'm telling you, they're going to legislate it where you're going to. It's going to be like a motor. I'm telling you, they go fast down here.

[Chest Day]

Joe, what did you do now? I'm starting to get shifted.

[Toolbox]

They're gonna get outlawed.

[Batter's Box]

There's obviously different powers of whatever his go that fat. He could. He could.

[Chest Day]

Do you know how fast it goes?

[Cam Jordan]

What's the speed limit?

[Batter's Box]

I don't know what the speed limit is.

[Chest Day]

Not a good sign.

[Batter's Box]

I've seen it, Max, and it's not faster than he can ride a normal bike.

[Chest Day]

Okay, okay.

[Cam Jordan]

But a normal bike, your legs get tired, so you can do it for a short spurt.

[Chest Day]

Electric bike, it just goes downhill too. That'd be so sweet.

[Cam Jordan]

No, I get it. And maybe I'm crazy, but I saw.

[Batter's Box]

These kids running into an angry.

[Chest Day]

You're just thinking the end game. And I get that part.

[Batter's Box]

Get off my lawn.

[Toolbox]

I don't care. I worry of safety. I'm telling you, I rode bikes and hell, I ran into cars.

[Cam Jordan]

I. I mean, we did ramps. Imagine doing ramps on these 20.

[Chest Day]

Hold on. I got to make sure I understand. Toolbox is about safety, but lunchbox, are you about.

[Cam Jordan]

It's.

[Chest Day]

It's like too easy to have fun.

[Batter's Box]

Yes.

[Cam Jordan]

No danger.

[Chest Day]

I think he shifted his argument.

[Cam Jordan]

No, I didn't.

[Batter's Box]

He moved the goalpost.

[Cam Jordan]

No, I. Absolutely. I am 100 about a.

[Batter's Box]

This.

[Cam Jordan]

I. I feel like it's.

[Batter's Box]

Did he not say, I mean, you don't earn it.

[Chest Day]

That doesn't sound like Safety to me.

[Batter's Box]

He's backing up.

[Cam Jordan]

Oh, my gosh.

[Toolbox]

And maybe it is because they weren't around. I didn't see, but they go fast down the street. I'm telling you.

[Chest Day]

I got it.

[Cam Jordan]

Okay. I mean, I've seen the kids. They're wearing a helmet and chest protector because they're going so fast.

[Chest Day]

Right.

[Cam Jordan]

I mean, that's crazy.

[Batter's Box]

Safety.

[Cam Jordan]

So does he have a chest protector?

[Batter's Box]

A chest protector.

[Toolbox]

Well, see, I'm not worried about him falling off.

[Cam Jordan]

My worry is running through a stop.

[Toolbox]

Sign and a car doesn't see whatever. I mean, hell, there was that, like.

[Batter's Box]

Could happen on a regular bike, right?

[Toolbox]

Well, it could, but you could stop faster.

[Chest Day]

There's a governor on it.

[Batter's Box]

Yeah.

[Chest Day]

Part of the coolness is it's a.

[Cam Jordan]

Little bit more powerful.

[Chest Day]

It's more powerful.

[Batter's Box]

They stopped just as fast as a normal bike.

[Cam Jordan]

So you would be okay with your kid having a go kart right now?

[Batter's Box]

I mean, it depends.

[Toolbox]

Well, go karts, you only go to a parking lot.

[Cam Jordan]

I'm just saying. But I'm saying, if he's okay with the motorized bike, he might as well give him a go kart to drive around the neighborhood. It's the same thing. That's what that.

[Batter's Box]

Literally, not the same thing, but okay.

[Chest Day]

I see his argument, though.

[Toolbox]

You can go on sidewalks with the.

[Chest Day]

I feel like the bike's safer because you can see the go kart.

[Toolbox]

You're lower.

[Chest Day]

You don't really know it's there.

[Toolbox]

Yeah, yeah.

[Batter's Box]

And it all depends on the power.

[Chest Day]

Okay.

[Batter's Box]

Are you okay with a go kart if it just went, like, no. Five miles an hour?

[Cam Jordan]

Well, that's. Those. Those what are the power wheels. I mean.

[Batter's Box]

Yeah, there you go.

[Cam Jordan]

Hot wheels.

[Batter's Box]

Are you against that?

[Cam Jordan]

No, because those are little, like, 2 year olds riding on the sidewalk.

[Batter's Box]

So you're. You're. Hold. It just depends on how fast it goes. Well, they all don't go the same speed. You know that. Right.

[Cam Jordan]

But you had no argument for how. You don't even know how you.

[Batter's Box]

I don't.

[Cam Jordan]

That's what I mean.

[Toolbox]

Until this electric bike. Did he just ride around the neighborhood by himself?

[Batter's Box]

Yeah. And his friend.

[Chest Day]

Does his friends have electric bikes?

[Batter's Box]

Yes.

[Chest Day]

So we have a precedent of electric bikes.

[Batter's Box]

Yep.

[Chest Day]

And they feel very safe. See, I knew that.

[Batter's Box]

He's been asking for this for three years. Okay. We held off six. Yeah.

[Toolbox]

Six years old, he won. Electric bike.

[Batter's Box]

Yes.

[Cam Jordan]

This is getting intense. I. I didn't want it. That's what I'm saying. I was going to talk about it before I even.

[Toolbox]

I don't care. It's not my kid.

[Batter's Box]

Truly. You don't seem like you care.

[Toolbox]

I wouldn't get my kids electric carts. I'm figuring this is exercise. You know, the. When they were little, three or four years.

[Batter's Box]

He didn't want us to have video games.

[Toolbox]

No.

[Cam Jordan]

Well, I wouldn't get my kid video games.

[Batter's Box]

There you go.

[Cam Jordan]

Wow.

[Toolbox]

Wow.

[Chest Day]

I'm speechless. Till when?

[Toolbox]

Till they're. I'll tell you when my kids got it. When Jennifer Francis.

[Cam Jordan]

When the Super Nintendo came out, she gave us her Nintendo. I remember.

[Chest Day]

Yeah, it was awesome.

[Toolbox]

I never bought one, but that's mainly.

[Batter's Box]

Because he couldn't handle it.

[Toolbox]

Well, that's true too. I just didn't want you sitting in the house.

[Chest Day]

Oh, that's why he doesn't want his kids to have a. That's the core reason. Well, the pain of losing was so bad.

[Cam Jordan]

No. Losing and just. It sucks you in. I mean, don't talk to me about losing. You played Mike Tyson punch out and you would punch your TV when you would lose. Okay, don't act like we all hated losing.

[Chest Day]

We all hated losing.

[Toolbox]

True.

[Chest Day]

But I got mad at the game.

[Cam Jordan]

I. Well, right, but you punched the TV dance.

[Toolbox]

See, I know.

[Batter's Box]

It cheats. The game cheats.

[Chest Day]

The whole art drama we're talking about.

[Toolbox]

All you do is hit. Didn't play another game when I. When I.

[Batter's Box]

Here we go.

[Toolbox]

When I was growing up, you had to play a damn quarter.

[Batter's Box]

Your whole argument about everything.

[Toolbox]

You lose it if you lost. You had to put a quarter in to play again. Our big game. I. I still remember we got Pong. I mean, if you don't know what.

[Cam Jordan]

Oh, it's that bar that goes across.

[Toolbox]

It's a ball.

[Batter's Box]

And you probably spent more money on the arcades than buying an actual like, gaming system.

[Toolbox]

Oh, I really would. Just wasn't a thing. I.

[Cam Jordan]

And I will say I like not having games. Like, yes, I couldn't handle losing. I hated it. I would throw controllers. I hated it. But later in life, now I feel like I'm. I'm just glad I'm not stuck on my gaming. There's still adults that game till three in the morning. I'm glad I'm not one. I don't think that's. I don't get it.

[Batter's Box]

Lamar Jackson, apparently.

[Cam Jordan]

Apparently.

[Toolbox]

Really?

[Batter's Box]

That's what they say.

[Cam Jordan]

Hey, Kyler Murray.

[Toolbox]

I was gonna say I thought was Arizona's guy that just came out with it.

[Cam Jordan]

Like, I. I don't know, it just seems you don't ever get jealous of.

[Chest Day]

Guys who can, like jump on a Halo 4 set. No, it's like they can play golf and they're all in different cities. No, you know what I mean? There is that factor where they can.

[Cam Jordan]

All get together with your friends, with your buddies.

[Chest Day]

So there is a little element that you have to be.

[Batter's Box]

But I liked video games, but I was never into it like that.

[Cam Jordan]

I don't have like most of my friends, I would say don't have that.

[Chest Day]

Yeah, I stopped after PlayStation 1.

[Cam Jordan]

That's what I mean.

[Chest Day]

Yeah, yeah, exactly.

[Cam Jordan]

Well, here's how to put it down. Like when I was in college, I bought. I don't. It was a PlayStation 2. 3 what it was because I wanted to play Grand Theft Auto Vice City.

[Batter's Box]

That was a great game.

[Chest Day]

That was worth it.

[Cam Jordan]

And I bought it and I played for two months. I just never turned it back on.

[Chest Day]

Yeah, but it was a great two months.

[Cam Jordan]

But it was just like, okay, it's pretty fun.

[Chest Day]

That's a good, good.

[Cam Jordan]

So like I got, I got a, A Wii. I've never opened it.

[Chest Day]

Yeah, that's different.

[Batter's Box]

The Wii is like you're actually playing.

[Cam Jordan]

I know, but. But that's what I'm saying. I don't know why, but your kids.

[Batter's Box]

Your kids would love that.

[Cam Jordan]

Still work.

[Chest Day]

Yeah, Nintendo would still work because like.

[Cam Jordan]

They don't have any more games in the technology. They quit making it. Why do they quit making it?

[Batter's Box]

But you still have games.

[Cam Jordan]

Games.

[Toolbox]

Yeah. Come with games?

[Cam Jordan]

Yeah, yeah, it came with games.

[Batter's Box]

You can open it and you play the bowling.

[Cam Jordan]

Hey, that mic, the bowling and the.

[Batter's Box]

Tennis and all that. The bass. It's fun.

[Cam Jordan]

Okay, maybe I love that. But my question is why did they got one.

[Batter's Box]

We got. It's called a cube and you can play soccer goalie. And they're like kicking balls.

[Cam Jordan]

Oh, I've seen that at the trampoline park.

[Batter's Box]

Yeah, it's fun.

[Cam Jordan]

It's called. I didn't know what it was.

[Batter's Box]

I thought it was a cube.

[Chest Day]

You might want to consider the. Yeah, the Nintendo's have the more interactive fun games. Just saying.

[Batter's Box]

It's not like you're sitting like this. You have to do all your body.

[Toolbox]

So what happened to you get your friends outside and play goalie and.

[Cam Jordan]

No, we do that.

[Batter's Box]

Do both. But we do have some good one or the other.

[Cam Jordan]

We do.

[Toolbox]

Does he do that?

[Batter's Box]

Yes.

[Cam Jordan]

Where Maybe where like we have great memories. There are still some good memories.

[Batter's Box]

Into my house, right? You see a giant.

[Cam Jordan]

The giant super bowl tournaments. Like I still remember those. Those were great. Those were fun.

[Batter's Box]

I mean, not for you because you Lost all the time.

[Cam Jordan]

Not all the time. Not all the time. There's one time I upset you in Connery's room. I upset.

[Chest Day]

I'm pretty sure I beat you. Three Was the one that had you three times.

[Cam Jordan]

Yeah.

[Toolbox]

Connery had all the gadgets.

[Chest Day]

Yeah, he did.

[Cam Jordan]

Yes. And that's what I mean. Like, there were some fun memories, but I think our best memories are not playing video games, going to the ditch, and playing football. Did you know they let the ditch grow over?

[Chest Day]

I saw that. Yes. They probably planted trees so that would never happen again. They have, like, 14 trees in the ditch.

[Cam Jordan]

Yeah, but the guy. I mean, the guy used to mow it.

[Batter's Box]

I had the photo on the ditch on our fantasy league.

[Cam Jordan]

I understand. No, I understand. I'm just.

[Chest Day]

Who took it?

[Batter's Box]

It had the trees and all the stuff.

[Chest Day]

Yes.

[Cam Jordan]

Chest Day took it.

[Chest Day]

Yes.

[Batter's Box]

I texted was like, hey, can you go swing by and take a picture of the ditch?

[Cam Jordan]

That's cool. Because you know what my picture is of the front of our house, right?

[Batter's Box]

Yeah.

[Cam Jordan]

Yeah, it's pretty cool.

[Toolbox]

Really?

[Cam Jordan]

You didn't know that it's our. Because my. My team name is our address.

[Toolbox]

Oh, so I can expect people to come by.

[Cam Jordan]

No, not in the sore losers league. Not in the sore losers league.

[Toolbox]

Oh, okay.

[Cam Jordan]

In the ditch. In the. The neighborhood league.

[Toolbox]

Oh, okay. Okay.

[Cam Jordan]

I'm not an idiot.

[Toolbox]

Did you have. Do you have the sign in it?

[Cam Jordan]

Oh, hold on. Sign. Let's talk about that sign. We're gonna come right back and. Toolbox street sign. No, he's talking about a different sign. We'll be right back. Come on. There it goes. All right, we're back, guys. Tell them.

[Chest Day]

Tell them.

[Cam Jordan]

Hey, you've been working on this for how many years?

[Batter's Box]

Oh, this. Okay.

[Cam Jordan]

Yeah. We've lived in this house or you've lived in this house? Let me see. I'm 44, so 39 years.

[Toolbox]

That's it.

[Cam Jordan]

39 years, and you finally got the sign.

[Toolbox]

You've always wanted your best decorations for Christmas. Henry, we did not pay anybody to put them up.

[Cam Jordan]

Homemade. So what, you're telling me that you can do that and get on a ladder and you don't have to be scared?

[Toolbox]

Oh, my God.

[Cam Jordan]

I mean, did you see Ray's elaborate?

[Batter's Box]

Like, I'm kind of pissed that I helped with the Halloween and we didn't get any recognition?

[Toolbox]

He has to help me build the witch. It's big.

[Batter's Box]

Where was the recognition for that?

[Toolbox]

I don't know. If they give out.

[Chest Day]

Joe, you probably helped build the reputation. Sometimes you got to win A couple of games before you win the championship.

[Batter's Box]

Okay.

[Chest Day]

You get a ring. You get a ring.

[Cam Jordan]

They saw the Halloween. They're like, if they follow this up at Christmas, we are definitely awarding.

[Batter's Box]

So I gotta. I gotta. I get a partial credit for like in the book.

[Chest Day]

I think so.

[Cam Jordan]

Yeah. I don't think you get a ring though, because it was a different season.

[Toolbox]

But I will say, when we went over. Walked another neighborhood.

[Batter's Box]

Oh, same year, though.

[Cam Jordan]

Yeah.

[Toolbox]

And I wouldn't get a mention. And I mean, our neighborhood is pretty weak compared to.

[Cam Jordan]

How do you feel about Christmas lights?

[Chest Day]

I love Christmas lights. Yeah, absolutely. And the fact that you're in an easy conference doesn't make that conference championship.

[Cam Jordan]

Just because you might be James Madison. You know what I mean? You might be James Madison.

[Toolbox]

We went to this.

[Batter's Box]

Oh, the ACC place and the.

[Cam Jordan]

The owner, no disrespect, ACC1.

[Toolbox]

He works two months for these lights. And I'm like, SEC. I mean, they're.

[Chest Day]

That's a fair question.

[Toolbox]

It's huge. It's beautiful. But I'm like, first off, you had to buy all this crap. Where do you put it in two months of your life is putting.

[Batter's Box]

I mean, rich. Rich.

[Toolbox]

There ain't no way.

[Cam Jordan]

Oh, the size of the house was unbelievable. I mean, they're definitely. They're definitely rich. I mean, you. It was huge. It was a huge house.

[Toolbox]

I have never seen half where you. Where you'd get these decorations.

[Batter's Box]

But it's along the same lines of like. Remember at the lake, the one house would put on this elaborate fireworks show. Like, how much money they have to spend?

[Toolbox]

Well, I'm not sure. It's not a business or something. I don't know. Maybe it is just a house.

[Cam Jordan]

That's a great question. I don't understand how people buy that much worth of fireworks. Because we go to the state. We went to the stand and we bought a hundred dollars worth. And it was like. Or it was.

[Batter's Box]

Maybe it lasted a long time and.

[Cam Jordan]

It was just like, golly. And they were just little ones that went. It wasn't like elaborate, like shoot them up in the sky.

[Chest Day]

When was this?

[Cam Jordan]

Just this summer at the lake. Yeah. When you came.

[Batter's Box]

That went up. I mean, there were some.

[Cam Jordan]

Yeah, yeah.

[Toolbox]

People that's being like what we could see. You know, it's. You hear it.

[Batter's Box]

Hundreds of thousands. I mean, the big giant ones, like, how much those cost? Like.

[Cam Jordan]

Right.

[Batter's Box]

Oh, my.

[Cam Jordan]

But here's the problem.

[Toolbox]

I don't know what business is over there, but I just. Just sort of.

[Batter's Box]

No, on the. At the lake, there's this? I don't know if they do it anymore, but there was always one house that would say, like, July 5th fireworks show. I remember their own fireworks show on separate from any city or business. There was houses.

[Toolbox]

Oh, I. I guess I didn't notice it.

[Cam Jordan]

Yeah.

[Batter's Box]

And they said, like, two or three houses in a row would pull their money and, like, buy and put it on together. Well, when I had this giant setup, you know, like, with the. The holders for, like, the big rockets and stuff, I mean, they had to spend. When I was a hundred thousand dollars.

[Toolbox]

Plus young back with covered wagons. We had a. We had a big side yard back in my day.

[Batter's Box]

Do we have a counter for how many? Back in my day.

[Toolbox]

And the neighbors would all pull their money together.

[Cam Jordan]

Yeah.

[Toolbox]

And we'd all have hamburgers and hot dogs and shoot them off in the side yard. They're probably illegal. You know, you can't do them in the city now. But that. That was in my day.

[Cam Jordan]

It took all the fun away.

[Toolbox]

Yes.

[Cam Jordan]

They really have. It's like when they went to electric bikes.

[Toolbox]

God damn it.

[Batter's Box]

Video games.

[Chest Day]

Video games.

[Cam Jordan]

It's like.

[Batter's Box]

It's like cell phones.

[Chest Day]

Hold on.

[Cam Jordan]

It was that time we were shooting them out here in the front, and all of a sudden, the fire department pulled up and we threw them all under. Under dad's truck. And they're like, hey, you know, got some. No, not us, man. If you look down, there were hundreds of fireworks right there underneath the truck. I'll never forget. That was so funny. So funny. And then there was one time, my friend Courtney, she came over, and we were going to shoot some fireworks. It was me, chest day and Aaron, and we're in the middle of the road with all these fireworks right where Mark Evans used to live.

[Chest Day]

Got it.

[Cam Jordan]

And the cop turns onto the road, and we were in the middle of the road with a big old bag of fireworks. And before Courtney even knew what to do, we boo. Gone down into the creek. And she was left by herself. And the cops, like, why'd they run? And she's like, I. I don't know what's going on. Like, do they have fireworks? I don't know what. They just left you, didn't they?

[Batter's Box]

So what did he do to her?

[Cam Jordan]

Nothing. Because she didn't have anything, you know, nothing. But she was. We just left her. Left her.

[Chest Day]

I think I remember being pretty mad.

[Batter's Box]

Same thing to me. Wasn't that one.

[Cam Jordan]

No, no. That's what you. No, no. This is what he did to me. So there used to be a Sheriff that lived at the far side of the neighborhood, and Cheney, who lived across the street.

[Batter's Box]

It was me to him.

[Cam Jordan]

Yeah, yeah. He, his dad and him would shoot fireworks at our house. Bottle rockets, things like that.

[Batter's Box]

True story.

[Cam Jordan]

So we're like, all right, screw this. We're gonna go blow up an apple in their driveway. So we got a couple of M. 80s in the Apple, right? And I'm. He's lookout. He's lookout. Batter's box is lookout, Right? And so I'm up by the garage lighting it. Lighting it. And I hear, hey. Hey. And then I'm like. And I light. And I turn, and he's gone.

[Toolbox]

Oh, wow.

[Cam Jordan]

And you know what's right there?

[Chest Day]

I think I do.

[Cam Jordan]

The sheriff.

[Batter's Box]

Whoa.

[Cam Jordan]

I mean, I turn, and he is, like, pulling up right when, boom, I.

[Batter's Box]

Was gone in the wind floor.

[Cam Jordan]

And he's like, what are you doing not. And he's like, you know, fireworks are illegal in the city limits. He goes, where'd your partner go? I was like, I don't know. He goes, well, just so you know, if I see you guys doing that again, I'm gonna arrest you.

[Batter's Box]

He didn't want to do anything because he didn't want to hear.

[Toolbox]

He didn't want the paperwork.

[Cam Jordan]

But this dude just didn't even try to warn me. He just left.

[Batter's Box]

I said, hey.

[Cam Jordan]

I don't think you said hey. In my head, I. I think afterwards I said, hey. I said, you could have said hey, and you didn't do anything.

[Batter's Box]

Hey.

[Chest Day]

Part of his story. Didn't say you say hey. Because that's what a lookout does. They say, hey.

[Cam Jordan]

Or cop. Cop, cop, cop, anything.

[Batter's Box]

Abort.

[Cam Jordan]

Yeah. Stop. Stop. Don't like. Don't like anything.

[Toolbox]

I'll give you one.

[Cam Jordan]

Okay.

[Toolbox]

Cheney. Mrs. Cheney comes over and says, oh.

[Cam Jordan]

Man.

[Toolbox]

Your kids threw smoke bombs in my garage.

[Chest Day]

This is where I thought you were.

[Cam Jordan]

Yeah.

[Toolbox]

And started my sheets on fire. And I. Of course, nobody did it.

[Cam Jordan]

No, no, no. Hold on. I will. I will. I can tell you exactly what happened on this story. We threw some smoke bombs in that garage, and we went about our day. Okay, true. And I rode my pedal bike, non electric, up to the baseball card. You couldn't handle it up to the baseball card shop. I don't know if I bought a couple packs, what I was doing, trying to collect a set. And I came riding back. As I pulled into the grass, Becky and my dad were out in the front yard talking. And that's when she was like, oh, by the way, you almost burned my house down. Wow. And I'm like, what? She goes, yeah, those smoke bombs you were throwing, they caught the sheets on fire. And we wouldn't have known because we were. I was asleep in on the couch and Angela was up doing homework question.

[Batter's Box]

And I'm like, how does she know it was you? Was it. Did you get caught on a ring ring camera?

[Cam Jordan]

Oh, you. You like ring cameras? Because I am anti ring camera.

[Batter's Box]

I don't have one.

[Cam Jordan]

I am anti that 100%.

[Batter's Box]

So I'm just asking, how does she know if she was asleep?

[Toolbox]

She just.

[Cam Jordan]

I mean, it's obvious. Come on. She did.

[Toolbox]

She wasn't him. It was you.

[Cam Jordan]

Deductive reasoning. Who are the idiots in the neighborhood? Us.

[Chest Day]

She told her.

[Batter's Box]

We got blame literally everything.

[Chest Day]

Simpson.

[Toolbox]

Okay.

[Cam Jordan]

Right? I mean like no, it wasn't me. Okay, who was it?

[Batter's Box]

We got blamed for everything.

[Cam Jordan]

Why? Why do you think we got blamed?

[Batter's Box]

Because we did everything.

[Chest Day]

Well, it's about to say, yeah, 100.

[Cam Jordan]

Except what about Scott?

[Batter's Box]

Okay, he went around, but he was our group adjacent.

[Chest Day]

But he's still. I mean, he's still part of the team.

[Cam Jordan]

He painted my dad's van.

[Batter's Box]

That was rough.

[Chest Day]

That's. Yeah, he went the dark side for a little bit there. He did go dark side, so I get that part.

[Batter's Box]

But it's like, I will say we're pretty hard on him though.

[Chest Day]

We?

[Cam Jordan]

We. You. You.

[Batter's Box]

My group.

[Cam Jordan]

Your group.

[Chest Day]

My group's fair. My group's here. Which was fair. You were two years older. That was your job. You know, you were supposed to pick on.

[Batter's Box]

But he did it most. I mean, he was.

[Chest Day]

He brought it all on himself. For sure.

[Cam Jordan]

You guys would tell him, hey, if you can beat me in boxing, I'll give you a Jose Canseco rookie. And you didn't even have a Jose Canseco rookie.

[Batter's Box]

No, I did.

[Chest Day]

No, I. I feel like there was a car.

[Batter's Box]

It was right there on the table.

[Chest Day]

I'm pretty sure about it.

[Cam Jordan]

Nick Batani.

[Batter's Box]

But we only had. But the problem was we only had one set of gloves. So we give him the left handed and we would have the right hand.

[Chest Day]

What about the other side of the story? He went for it.

[Batter's Box]

He went for it.

[Cam Jordan]

He went for it.

[Batter's Box]

And he got knocked out every single time.

[Cam Jordan]

He didn't give up, which was crazy.

[Chest Day]

Yeah.

[Toolbox]

I'll never forget his. His dad met Annie.

[Cam Jordan]

Granny Hat box.

[Toolbox]

Hat box at the car. She's getting home from work. I remember this saying, I don't know you batters box or.

[Cam Jordan]

Yep, batter's box.

[Batter's Box]

Stole his son's bike with the freaking flag on. The back and.

[Chest Day]

Yeah, there's that part two.

[Cam Jordan]

But why did you steal it?

[Batter's Box]

I don't know.

[Chest Day]

Because why did.

[Batter's Box]

I do a lot of things.

[Chest Day]

Yeah.

[Cam Jordan]

Like, what did you do?

[Batter's Box]

I had in the backyard.

[Cam Jordan]

I mean, just to be annoying. He's like, it wasn't me. You can see the flag sticking over the fence.

[Chest Day]

It was middle school rules.

[Batter's Box]

It was just like, I don't know. You're annoying me today, so I'm gonna do something to you. Like, what kids do.

[Cam Jordan]

That's like fifth grade. I mean, we did do a lot. We did mostly do it, but in fifth grade, one time we went to Chicago for Christmas.

[Batter's Box]

Oh, yeah.

[Cam Jordan]

Okay.

[Toolbox]

And quiet.

[Cam Jordan]

And I was walking the halls after Christmas at Reed elementary. Shout out raccoons. And one of the local moms down here, she comes up to me and she goes, I know you stole our Christmas decorations. Wow. I'm like, wasn't me, but it's probably.

[Batter's Box]

A good guess, like we just said.

[Cam Jordan]

And I said. And she goes, sure it wasn't you. If you just return them, please. And I said, it wasn't me. We were in Chicago. Sure you were.

[Batter's Box]

Okay.

[Cam Jordan]

And then a week later, this mom was at school.

[Chest Day]

Yeah, tell me later.

[Cam Jordan]

And a week with a W. Okay. Yeah.

[Batter's Box]

Do we know them?

[Cam Jordan]

You don't know them. And then a week later, the people, I guess, were stealing the. The rest of their ornaments and got caught.

[Chest Day]

Wow. What is this, like, hobo loan?

[Toolbox]

Yeah.

[Batter's Box]

They went, wait, so did you ever.

[Cam Jordan]

They were like, inflatables or whatever. Like back when. Right. When inflatables became popular.

[Batter's Box]

Did you ever go back?

[Toolbox]

Every night at my yard.

[Cam Jordan]

But she never apologized. She never apologized for accusing me in fifth grade and me standing up to him. I was in Chicago. Sure you were. Okay, cool. I know where I was. I know exactly where I was.

[Batter's Box]

Yeah. Back in my day, we didn't use inflatables as decorations. We made real ones.

[Cam Jordan]

Right.

[Toolbox]

Well, there was no such thing as inflatables. No. And you screwed the light. But I like the old lights because you one goes out, you just replace it.

[Batter's Box]

He won first championship.

[Cam Jordan]

Yeah.

[Batter's Box]

The inflatables.

[Cam Jordan]

But here's the thing. I will say that your neighborhood, we were walking the dogs, and there was another house that got best spirit.

[Batter's Box]

And I don't understand participation.

[Toolbox]

Yeah.

[Cam Jordan]

Oh, and then I took my dog for a walk yesterday or the day before, and there's another one down the street has best lights, so they're giving out multiple signs.

[Chest Day]

What's the title here?

[Cam Jordan]

Best decorations.

[Batter's Box]

No. Best house.

[Toolbox]

Best house.

[Chest Day]

Best house is the. That's the. That's the.

[Cam Jordan]

I think that's the mvp.

[Batter's Box]

Is it, though?

[Chest Day]

No, it is.

[Cam Jordan]

That's the.

[Chest Day]

That's the WWE Championship. Those sound like intercontinental champions.

[Cam Jordan]

Yeah, like, light Lights is partial. It's partial. It's like, ah, you're like the tag team champion.

[Batter's Box]

But it's still stupid that they do that.

[Cam Jordan]

No, I agree. They should have 11 yard of the month and that's it.

[Toolbox]

They don't give. They don't give out yard of the month anymore.

[Batter's Box]

You can do first through third, you know, gold, silver, bronze. Right, right.

[Cam Jordan]

But you would have to call it third place. Don't say Best spirit.

[Toolbox]

I don't know what spirit.

[Cam Jordan]

Okay, let me.

[Batter's Box]

Gold, silver, bronze, or 1 2.

[Chest Day]

Yeah, you get a choice. What's in front of your yard? Do you want third place or do you want Best Lights?

[Batter's Box]

Lights. Third place.

[Chest Day]

I don't think. You really do. I want best lights.

[Cam Jordan]

I want best lights.

[Toolbox]

All right.

[Cam Jordan]

Because it's not like. It's not like, oh, you're the third best.

[Toolbox]

Because, I mean, it may not drive around and see the other signs.

[Cam Jordan]

So they think you're the winner. Yeah, like, you see best lights, you're like, oh, that house.

[Chest Day]

Get the marketing behind it.

[Batter's Box]

It's kind of lame.

[Cam Jordan]

No, I'm not saying it's not lame, but if I'm the one that got third, I'd rather be called best lights than third.

[Chest Day]

Yeah, me too.

[Batter's Box]

What about bronze?

[Cam Jordan]

No, no, I'd rather be called best Light.

[Batter's Box]

That's like an Olympic champion.

[Cam Jordan]

No, but it looks like I won, too. Yeah, like, when you get best lights, it looks like you're the Olympic gold medalist because you don't come this way on the street.

[Chest Day]

No one's driving around the entire neighborhood comparing, oh, like, well, that's best lights. That's best Spirit. No, they don't know. They just think winner.

[Cam Jordan]

Okay, I have no idea.

[Batter's Box]

Okay.

[Toolbox]

I really don't care.

[Chest Day]

I think you do.

[Cam Jordan]

Oh, yeah, it's pretty cool.

[Batter's Box]

Hold on.

[Cam Jordan]

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. He cares.

[Batter's Box]

No, he's been talking about it every day for the past.

[Toolbox]

It's a joke.

[Batter's Box]

Oh, you say that now, but I don't know.

[Toolbox]

It's fun.

[Cam Jordan]

It's exciting. No, it's cool.

[Batter's Box]

You clearly care.

[Cam Jordan]

Okay, but also, he got mad. He told the guy. He was like, yeah, I'm mad that I never got it when they were kids because we had no grass in our yard. I thought that was yard of the month because the kids played in the yard.

[Chest Day]

Right. See, that's what it is.

[Cam Jordan]

It's not bad. Listen, it's not a bad argument.

[Batter's Box]

It's not a better before video games.

[Chest Day]

Right. There's a little bit of grudge.

[Cam Jordan]

Do you agree with that reasoning, though?

[Batter's Box]

I mean.

[Toolbox]

I mean, you got. There was a thing in the newsletter.

[Cam Jordan]

Oh.

[Toolbox]

It said there are unsupervised kids at the corner of Silver Creek or wherever. And I'm like, whoa, that was close out to look at your damn kids while they're playing. What the hell do you want me to do? They're having fun.

[Chest Day]

Yeah, it was fun. I do remember waking up and picking up that newsletter and like, trying to find us.

[Cam Jordan]

Oh, every time. I mean, my.

[Batter's Box]

Look, look, they weren't mad about we were playing on Supervisor. They're mad that we used to just cause ruckus all over the damn place.

[Cam Jordan]

Yeah.

[Toolbox]

But it was nothing ever. I'll tell you what. I had more door knocks after you guys left. There's some guy comes. He came to my door and goes, yeah, someone threw water balloons at my car. And I just got back from. And I mean, I did that. I feel for him from Iraq. And I got PSD or whatever, and they're lucky I didn't shoot.

[Batter's Box]

And I said, well, why is he talking to you?

[Toolbox]

Well, I. I don't know.

[Cam Jordan]

Our reputation. That's what I say.

[Chest Day]

We were notorious.

[Toolbox]

There's no way that it's still that 110 years ago.

[Batter's Box]

You think people still live here from back then?

[Toolbox]

I said, 10 years ago. You may be at the right house, but there's nobody here. I didn't do it. The kids have been gone for 10 years.

[Batter's Box]

We abandoned them.

[Chest Day]

I said, that's a real notorious reputation. He was asking around, who do you think did it?

[Cam Jordan]

It's like, no, no. It's like the time that chest day.

[Toolbox]

Oh, I'll tell you that.

[Cam Jordan]

Oh, oh, oh.

[Batter's Box]

It's coming in hot, boys.

[Cam Jordan]

Yeah, go ahead, Go ahead.

[Toolbox]

Hatbox drives up home, and it's Scott and his dad down on the corner talking to a cop.

[Batter's Box]

And.

[Toolbox]

And they're eating to our house.

[Chest Day]

Oh, no.

[Toolbox]

So she goes down there.

[Batter's Box]

She's like, listen, mother.

[Toolbox]

And start saying, it wasn't us. No, I. I don't think it was Scott. I think it was a neighbor.

[Cam Jordan]

I know you're talking about Ray from San Antonio.

[Toolbox]

If you walk through his yard, they used to shoot you. Where he came.

[Cam Jordan]

San Antonio. He was from San Antonio. That was a threat, dude. He was like, they were peeking in my window, like, bro, there's nothing we Want to see in your windows? I promise. It's just. Chest Day lives over there, and it's. It cuts off 0.3 seconds, which is very vital. If we cut through your yard, it's just so much quicker.

[Toolbox]

He had an electric bike. He wouldn't have done that.

[Chest Day]

True.

[Cam Jordan]

But also, can I say, the house across from you, they really screwed up. They. They put that fence so far down the side of their house. Those bushes where we used to hide. Oh, my gosh. They were the best bushes because it looked like a full set of bushes. And if you got in there, there was space between the bushes in the house. It was a great hiding space after throwing something to call like a fox.

[Batter's Box]

I always appreciated the houses without fences.

[Cam Jordan]

No, it's great.

[Batter's Box]

Those were great because you could run through and, like, get. You could get a block away in like five seconds. Or you can just jump the. The Caddy corner.

[Cam Jordan]

Yeah.

[Batter's Box]

And you're never getting.

[Toolbox]

Where were your parents?

[Cam Jordan]

Well, Chest Day, he also.

[Batter's Box]

We had a. We built an escape route.

[Cam Jordan]

Oh, no. We had them all named. We on every street would tell, yell whatever house. Like, his house.

[Batter's Box]

Like, we had. We're throwing stuff at cars.

[Chest Day]

Yeah, allegedly.

[Cam Jordan]

We had the statue of limitations.

[Batter's Box]

Remember, we had the basketball going around the room that Mark Dahlin ripped down. So we had that as like our hiding.

[Cam Jordan]

Yeah, put that mic by your mouth.

[Batter's Box]

Sorry. We had a trash can lid full of acorns throwing them cars. We live around the corner. So the cars would stop.

[Cam Jordan]

Stop.

[Batter's Box]

As soon as they stop, we run through the gate, out the hole that we made in the fence for the dog, and there we have the bikes lined up for the getaway down Baroque.

[Cam Jordan]

Yeah, I. I get it. And like, we. But like, his house, Chest Day's house, his neighbor, his fence was not even with his. And they had bushes, and we would run into those bushes, so people would think we're in those bushes. But we would hop the fence, run through his yard, jump the chain link fence in Parks's backyard, and out on. I mean, it was so.

[Batter's Box]

I remember your backyard. I don't remember what you're talking.

[Cam Jordan]

Oh, my gosh.

[Chest Day]

It was a system.

[Cam Jordan]

We were two blocks over.

[Batter's Box]

Forest had a fence, and there was a gap with bushes. And then.

[Cam Jordan]

No, no, the neighbor's fence. Chest Day, his. So here's Chest Day's front of his fence. The neighbor's fence was back here, and they had bushes right here in front of the fence. So it looks like. Oh, they just ran into those bushes. And so they think we're just Stuck.

[Batter's Box]

In the bushes, in the bush, climb.

[Cam Jordan]

Up the fence, jump the fence, Boom. Through his backyard, over the chain link fence and out. I mean, we're gone two blocks over in ten seconds. So fantastic. That was so fun.

[Toolbox]

We weren't that bad of parents.

[Chest Day]

I never thought.

[Toolbox]

You're bad from your perspective, I will admit.

[Batter's Box]

Relax.

[Toolbox]

There was one time they. Somebody came to the front door, knocked and said, there were some kids beating up some girl out in the front here. And I said, oh, it's all right. They weren't doing it on purpose, you know, whatever.

[Batter's Box]

That made you sound really bad.

[Toolbox]

Well, and when they come home, I said, what kind of idiots are you? You don't do it in your front of your own house.

[Batter's Box]

True.

[Chest Day]

That's a good. That was a good point.

[Cam Jordan]

No, it was a good point. But the escape routes were so great around here. Like, if you go up the road, we're off our turf.

[Batter's Box]

But how do they know that it was this house?

[Cam Jordan]

There's kids bikes, and we're right in front of the house and right in.

[Toolbox]

Front of the house. So I guess.

[Cam Jordan]

But that was one of the. Let me tell you, that was one of the best. If we wanted the cops to come, if we wanted to be chased, that was one of the best things to do was the fake fight.

[Batter's Box]

Yeah.

[Cam Jordan]

To jump someone in the middle of the road, leave them there. And when the car got 100 yards, 20ft away, whatever it was, and scatter. I mean, it was automatic. Every time it was automatic, cops came. It was so fun. Like, it was so fun. Like, I cannot believe how good. Like, realistically thinking about it, just think how good we were at getting away.

[Toolbox]

Right?

[Batter's Box]

Yeah.

[Chest Day]

And I also think about if I was driving and you saw seven kids beating up one kid, you would say, what would you do?

[Cam Jordan]

Exactly. You would stop, hey, do you need help? And I'll never forget Jennifer limping down the road one time and the old lady stopped, said, hey, do you need help? No, it'll just get worse. I mean, that is what a line. And that old grandma is like, oh, and they didn't have cell phones back then, so they got to go home, call the cops.

[Batter's Box]

Yeah.

[Cam Jordan]

I mean, it was. It was so crazy.

[Batter's Box]

It was suck living now, growing up.

[Cam Jordan]

Nowadays, really, it would be so hard to get away with anything.

[Chest Day]

No, the cell phone would destroy our game in like a heart, Shut it down.

[Toolbox]

Cameras shot, going.

[Chest Day]

We'd be inside. Let's be honest, it's over.

[Toolbox]

You'd have been doing video games.

[Batter's Box]

Yeah.

[Cam Jordan]

No, we wouldn't. We would Electric bikes, us going through people's yards. I mean, it'd be over.

[Toolbox]

You'd be shot.

[Cam Jordan]

It was so. I mean, we used to. How did. Like. Because cops are professional at catching people.

[Toolbox]

They knew where you weren't doing.

[Batter's Box]

They weren't trying anything hard. They weren't trying.

[Chest Day]

They were in on the game, too.

[Cam Jordan]

They're, you know, like, no, no, hold on. We're going to take a break and I'm going to tell a story about. Tell me the cop wasn't trying to get us, like, for real every time.

[Batter's Box]

But most of the time they're not.

[Toolbox]

Really trying to get you doing anything horrible.

[Cam Jordan]

No, we weren't doing anything horrible. But you're telling me they weren't trying to catch us?

[Batter's Box]

Not every time.

[Cam Jordan]

We'll be right back. I'll talk about it.

[Toolbox]

They knew where you lived. Let's be real.

[Cam Jordan]

So the one. There's a couple.

[Batter's Box]

The fire database.

[Cam Jordan]

There's a couple instances that I feel like they were really trying to catch us. Of course. And it was one night. It had raining. It was raining.

[Chest Day]

I remember this.

[Cam Jordan]

And I was inside and I get a knock at the door, chest day. And Aaron. And I'm like, hey, what, do you want to come out?

[Toolbox]

I'm like, yeah.

[Cam Jordan]

What do you guys been doing? Oh, nothing. Nothing. Really nothing. Cheney comes out with no shoes on, right? We make it three houses, take a ride on that street, and we're another house down. So we're four houses out, and a cop is driving down our street. Driving, driving, driving. Sees us, slams on the brakes, slams it in reverse. Down that road, down that road. And we are. I'm just getting out. I have no idea what's going on. And we immediately over the chain link fence down into the creek, which is flooded. I mean, it is raging water down there. Swimming. We are swimming in the water.

[Toolbox]

That's dangerous.

[Chest Day]

Oh, it was awesome. Was the most stress I've ever felt at that point in my life. It was.

[Cam Jordan]

Yes. And I separated and I still have no idea what is going on. And Chaney doesn't run because he doesn't have shoes on. And the cops, like, where'd they go? And he's like, I don't know. I just got out. And he's like, all right, I'm gonna go look for him, you know. And I went farther down the creek. The other two chest day and Aaron, they went across the creek and came out on the other side where Bakers used to live. And I went all the way down to the end where Aaron lived. Came out of the creek and then went hugging fences all the way back to our house. Drenched.

[Batter's Box]

Went.

[Cam Jordan]

I was out for 12 minutes, and I'm like, that. Tell me that cop wasn't trying to get us.

[Chest Day]

I have, like, a memory of, like, seeing the flashlight move because he was running in the creek with us, like, like it was about to happen. But he. Don't get me wrong. You get in the water.

[Batter's Box]

Question.

[Chest Day]

Once the water happens, what did y' all do? I don't know, and I don't remember. The, the. The chase was so big. It, like, it was so braced. Whatever caused it, I have no idea.

[Toolbox]

I'll tell you one. We had all the. We had a party here with the adults. All your kids were around and everything. I know how to call Pete Valdez Brights.

[Cam Jordan]

Yeah, Just the crew.

[Chest Day]

The crew.

[Toolbox]

All of a sudden.

[Batter's Box]

I don't need to name names.

[Toolbox]

We have a knock at the door. I go answer the door, and it's two cops.

[Batter's Box]

Do you remember?

[Cam Jordan]

Yeah, I, I. We had gone. So what happened is everybody. Well, the kids went toilet papering, and we toilet paper three houses in the neighborhood. One of them we didn't even know. We just like, all right, let's just toilet paper to toilet paper. Because we were right. That's right.

[Toolbox]

The cops were there for saying your kids are toilet papering houses.

[Cam Jordan]

And we were hanging out the upstairs windows when they were knocking on the moon.

[Toolbox]

That's probably true. All sudden, here comes Doyle Valdez. President.

[Batter's Box]

Hey.

[Cam Jordan]

President of the United States of America.

[Batter's Box]

Well, we don't need the full names.

[Toolbox]

Whatever. And he had gone to high school with these. Got two cops.

[Chest Day]

I love it.

[Cam Jordan]

And he goes, how did I know it's gonna be your kid?

[Toolbox]

You know, whatever us old people say.

[Cam Jordan]

And that's like. There was one night, it was me and Josh and Aaron and his little brother, and we were doing the fake fighting, doing the fake fighting, doing the fake fighting. No one would stop. They had a curfew. Aaron, brother go home. Who shows up? Jennifer and Kamika. All right, let's do it. Do a couple cars. No one really cares. So we're sitting on the. The curb over there in front of Chaney's, and for some reason, Kamika. Jennifer's like, we should dance in the middle of the road for a car. So when a car's going, we start getting them. We just start acting like an idiot. And all of a sudden, it starts flying, and we're like, what the hell? And so we run, and we get to the gate, and we're Trying to get the gate open.

[Chest Day]

Boom.

[Cam Jordan]

Spotlight.

[Toolbox]

Wow.

[Cam Jordan]

And I turn back, and it says police. And we swing that gate open. And at that point, for some reason, they were fixing their fence in between the two houses, so the middle fence was down. So we get to the gate, and I try to get the gate open. Can't get over, get it open, dive over head first, scrape my stomach on the top of the fence. Josh climbs. Does it. Can't do it. Does the same thing. Jennifer, Kamika, walk up, open the gate, go through the gate, and we run across. And that's before the new neighborhood's built. And we run into the woods, and we're going to just go to Kamika's house. But there's one little spot where there's a dead end that you have to get out of the woods, run across, get back in. So I get out, out, run across, get back in. Josh runs, gets out, runs across, and a cop pulls in the dead end. And I'm like, oh, they're done. I'm leaving them. And I bail and I go to Kamika's house, and I'm in the backyard.

[Batter's Box]

See, he bailed, too.

[Chest Day]

Different circumstances.

[Cam Jordan]

Absolutely different. At this point, you're. I didn't leave. There's nothing you could do. No point for me to stay around.

[Chest Day]

He couldn't yell and save Josh.

[Cam Jordan]

Yeah. Yeah. Josh was already. He was.

[Toolbox]

They already knew police were out after him. Yeah.

[Cam Jordan]

And they. They. It was survival of finish. Once you know the cops are there, you got to go. And so I'm in her backyard, and I see a cop driving down the street, shining his light. U turn, shining it on, like, looking. It's going slow. Then I hear footsteps back by the back fence. I'm like, all right, I'm busted. I'll just go get myself up. And I walk Jennifer, Kamika, and Josh, and I'm like, how did you guys get out of there? And they're like, oh, he just turned around and drove back out. Like, he just. And never came in. And we get in to Kamika's house, and we are covered in burrs and stickers and phone rings and it's toolbox. Hey, the cops looking for you.

[Batter's Box]

Yeah.

[Cam Jordan]

No. Don't lie to me. All right. Yeah, get your ass home. All right, cool. So we hang up, and we're about to walk out the door. Phone rings again. Hey, you might want to wait. There's like eight cops. Wait till they leave. Wait. Wait till they leave and then come over. That is awesome. It was great. It was fantastic. Such A great moment. Like, such a great moment now. All right, batter's box. You want to talk about the. Let's talk. I want your. You want sports, right?

[Batter's Box]

I like sports.

[Cam Jordan]

G5. Why is everybody so mad they got to quit complaining. G5, the power not being in the playoff.

[Toolbox]

It's stupid.

[Cam Jordan]

What's stupid? Them being in.

[Toolbox]

Them complaining.

[Cam Jordan]

Okay, good.

[Toolbox]

How many freaking teams do you want in? Do we need the first eight teams?

[Cam Jordan]

The sec. We.

[Toolbox]

I mean, they need to come up with a formula, and that's it. I don't care. That James Madison, whatever the.

[Chest Day]

Was called bcs, though, and nobody liked that too much.

[Toolbox]

Well, let's go to the basketball. I take how many teams? 68 teams. And still people bitch, I should be in.

[Cam Jordan]

I need to be in. I got fourth in my conference. It's.

[Batter's Box]

Listen, do you understand that this is part of why people love sports?

[Toolbox]

No.

[Batter's Box]

Is to argue. No, you argue. Who's better? Who's. Who's better? We were just doing earlier. Who's better? This era.

[Toolbox]

That era living here in Austin. I laugh because they're just say, oh, who had. Who carries the big tents?

[Batter's Box]

I mean, what is. I don't.

[Cam Jordan]

One of those teams. I don't.

[Toolbox]

One of those channels. Fox Sports does Big Ten, and, oh, they're just pumping up the Big Ten. They're not all that good. And I'm sitting there going, of course, you work for espn and they do the sec. And I mean, they're not that.

[Batter's Box]

I mean, it sounds like you guys want just a formula everybody gets in and nobody talks about.

[Toolbox]

That's how the NFL does it. Is anyone says, oh, I had a harder schedule, I should be.

[Batter's Box]

Yes, they do.

[Chest Day]

Who?

[Batter's Box]

Everybody.

[Cam Jordan]

I do.

[Toolbox]

I'm not really.

[Chest Day]

It's not really an arguing point. By the way, aren't you a Notre Dame fan?

[Batter's Box]

I am.

[Chest Day]

So, what did Notre Dame do in the playoffs, in the bowl season this year?

[Batter's Box]

They didn't do anything.

[Chest Day]

Well, see, they care a lot. Then they took their rocks and went home. They were like, I don't even want to be in there.

[Batter's Box]

It's fine.

[Chest Day]

That's the biggest complainers of them all. How do you defend your. Your childhood team?

[Batter's Box]

I don't know. I don't think they should have been in you.

[Chest Day]

But don't you think they should be saved from no bowl game at all?

[Batter's Box]

Yeah, it's fine. Who cares? The bowl games are meaningless.

[Toolbox]

Well, they're gonna be gone.

[Chest Day]

Well, that's true, but if you're not a senior, you don't want to play in a Bowl.

[Cam Jordan]

Not if you're going to the NFL.

[Toolbox]

NFL?

[Batter's Box]

They're either transferring or going to NFL.

[Cam Jordan]

Notre Dame players think they're going to the NFL. If you're that big, tell me the.

[Chest Day]

Entire team of seniors.

[Batter's Box]

But if you even have 20 people either transfer or go to the NFL, like total, not 20, you know, it's okay.

[Chest Day]

I'm surprised you're so nonchalant about it.

[Toolbox]

They're going to be done with if you do nil.

[Cam Jordan]

If you get money, they should put it in your deal. You play in the bowl game.

[Toolbox]

Yeah.

[Cam Jordan]

Boom.

[Batter's Box]

That's why.

[Toolbox]

Because you're getting paid.

[Batter's Box]

What does the bowl game matter?

[Cam Jordan]

You get millions of dollars for your school.

[Batter's Box]

Eliminate the ball games already.

[Cam Jordan]

But you get millions of dollars for your school when you play.

[Chest Day]

Games have been up for like 60 or 70 years.

[Batter's Box]

So what?

[Chest Day]

Yeah, but they're not not matter that fast.

[Batter's Box]

It's gonna take. They don't matter right now, kind of.

[Chest Day]

I get your don't matter. But I mean.

[Cam Jordan]

But don't you want to get money for your school?

[Chest Day]

All right, I want to play and win a bowl game. Why not?

[Cam Jordan]

Like if you play at Marshall, that's what you get. A swag is when these dumbass teams like Marshall, they opt out. It's like, what? Huh? Like, who cares?

[Batter's Box]

Because they probably couldn't field a team.

[Toolbox]

That's.

[Cam Jordan]

That's the problem. The transfer window needs to be a different time.

[Toolbox]

Yes.

[Cam Jordan]

And if you're gonna transfer, you'd lose your nil. Like NLI nil, whatever the hell it's called. They have to sign contracts. You have to be here two years. Like it is so stupid.

[Toolbox]

Yes. Yes.

[Cam Jordan]

They get one transfer. That is it. That is it. One transfer. You transfer one time.

[Batter's Box]

Why?

[Chest Day]

I want to know why too. Why can't I get the most money for four years if I've only got four years, maybe five. I get it. But let's say I only have four years.

[Cam Jordan]

Why can't the majority.

[Batter's Box]

The majority of these players aren't going to the pros. Why would you not let want them to capitalize when they can?

[Chest Day]

Let's see my basketball.

[Cam Jordan]

What is a football player?

[Batter's Box]

What does it matter to you?

[Toolbox]

Well, it does matter to me.

[Cam Jordan]

Besides, as a fan, it's important. Like as a fan, it sucks. You have no idea who's on your team.

[Batter's Box]

You're right for you.

[Chest Day]

That's true. That's the price you pay. But the kids still get the max.

[Batter's Box]

Do some read. Study it up. Follow your team. It's not hard.

[Cam Jordan]

Oh, my God.

[Batter's Box]

It's in your hand.

[Chest Day]

The argument is they're making so much money for the university that they need to get.

[Cam Jordan]

No, no, I understand, but it's out of control. Yeah. And there's, there's all this, like they say, no tampering, but all these kids are on other rosters and they're talking, their agents are talking.

[Batter's Box]

It's like, it's not perfect. They need to fix it, but it's better than it was.

[Cam Jordan]

I mean, the Michigan quarterback got $10 million. Wow.

[Batter's Box]

It needs to be fixed.

[Cam Jordan]

Good for him, though. He's making more than rookie quarterbacks in the NFL.

[Batter's Box]

It needs to be fixed, but it's better than before when they weren't getting paid.

[Chest Day]

It's new and maybe he's actually. If you get paid what you're worth.

[Toolbox]

Sometimes, you know who's the worst? Worst defenders?

[Cam Jordan]

Texas Tech.

[Batter's Box]

Yeah.

[Cam Jordan]

Hey, hey, hey.

[Chest Day]

Back off now. We're getting personal cares now.

[Cam Jordan]

What is your plan for Tech? Are you going to watch it with your Tech people?

[Chest Day]

Oh, absolutely, of course. Yes. I mean, my addiction for Tech is.

[Toolbox]

Don'T you have to go way in the backwoods to find people?

[Cam Jordan]

What do you talk.

[Chest Day]

What do you mean to find?

[Batter's Box]

Are you going to watch it at a bar?

[Chest Day]

Yeah, we're going to go bar. We kind of looked into the dream of going to the, the bowl games and it was a little unrealistic maybe could have made you going to Austin. No, no, no. You're going to the, the alumni for Austin. There's one up north.

[Cam Jordan]

Where?

[Chest Day]

There's one south.

[Cam Jordan]

That's it. So how early do you have to get there? Because if it's going to be alumni.

[Chest Day]

It'S 11 o' clock game for, let's say for the New Year's Eve. I'm gonna get there about 11am yeah, it's a little. I wish it was late.

[Cam Jordan]

Oh, my God, I'm there.

[Chest Day]

9:30. Regardless, Texas Tech, my predictions, I really believe. I feel like a Cowboy fan right now. I think we're good. We got a real chance. At what? We got a real chance through this entire process. I don't know who I'm really afraid of.

[Batter's Box]

Good enough.

[Chest Day]

Yes, it is good enough because it's balanced. We have a good quarterback.

[Cam Jordan]

I mean, well, that's the backup quarterback.

[Toolbox]

Better.

[Chest Day]

Right?

[Toolbox]

He's.

[Chest Day]

Yeah, he's done, but he's ready.

[Toolbox]

He's from.

[Chest Day]

Aaron Morton's ready.

[Batter's Box]

Hello.

[Chest Day]

He's healthy. Everyone's healthy. Our defense travels, by the way.

[Batter's Box]

Defense is good.

[Chest Day]

And that probably matters more in these bowl games. Because timing is offensive.

[Cam Jordan]

Why are we taking three weeks off? Imagine every game network for that one. I'm so confused. Like they played the first games like two weeks ago, right?

[Batter's Box]

Yeah, yeah.

[Chest Day]

It's TV show now and that's what it, that's. They're probably afraid of the NFL and.

[Toolbox]

They want to says this is when you play.

[Chest Day]

Yeah, it's when they play.

[Toolbox]

We're paying the bills, so defense travels.

[Chest Day]

So watch out for the Red Raiders. We are absolutely in it and gonna be in it for a while.

[Batter's Box]

I think it's wide open, man. I think.

[Chest Day]

What about wide open? There's probably four teams.

[Batter's Box]

Four teams top four.

[Cam Jordan]

Who else?

[Chest Day]

Who else you got for Ohio State?

[Cam Jordan]

Ohio State? Tech, Georgia, Indiana. Indiana. That's it.

[Chest Day]

That sounds right.

[Batter's Box]

Oregon. No, no chance.

[Cam Jordan]

No chance.

[Chest Day]

Georgia.

[Cam Jordan]

I said Georgia.

[Chest Day]

Okay.

[Cam Jordan]

Oregon. When you get physical, they can't play. I mean, I don't want to say.

[Chest Day]

Because that's how you blows up on your face, but I mean, but it's every year. I like it.

[Cam Jordan]

It's every year they're high flying, then they run into a physical team. It's like, well, guess what happens, right?

[Chest Day]

Exactly. It's hard to get your timing right after being sitting on, you know, your ass for two, two weeks.

[Cam Jordan]

But you, you, you freaking jam them at the line. Everything's thrown off. They're all about speed. They're built on speed.

[Batter's Box]

Right. Have you watched them this year?

[Cam Jordan]

I've watched them a little bit and they weren't that good.

[Batter's Box]

Okay.

[Chest Day]

Right.

[Toolbox]

But Texas didn't James Madison score 36?

[Cam Jordan]

Yeah.

[Batter's Box]

After they were up by like 50.

[Cam Jordan]

There's no, don't act like their first team was still on the field. Care their defenders were still on the field.

[Toolbox]

James Madison shouldn't score 36 on you.

[Cam Jordan]

Yeah, because they're G5. I mean, what was more exciting to watch, James Madison or Texas A and.

[Toolbox]

M was a snooze fest.

[Chest Day]

Yeah, they're both bad.

[Cam Jordan]

But I'd rather, I like the Texas drama.

[Toolbox]

I'd rather watch scoring than good. God.

[Batter's Box]

I'd rather watch it. I'd rather watch a good game.

[Cam Jordan]

No, a good game, but I don't Terrible offense.

[Batter's Box]

Right, I understand, but they were great on defense.

[Cam Jordan]

I, I, So you'd rather watch someone.

[Batter's Box]

Get beat by 30?

[Cam Jordan]

They didn't get beat by 30. They covered. They lost by 19.

[Batter's Box]

Oh, 19. Sorry.

[Chest Day]

Back door cover.

[Batter's Box]

Yes.

[Cam Jordan]

Yeah. Well, yeah, but hey, so they were down by, they put up 500 yards offense. Yeah, we didn't know that.

[Toolbox]

Dang.

[Cam Jordan]

500 yards off.

[Chest Day]

Even better. About New Year's Day. All right.

[Batter's Box]

So you would rather watch a team getting beat by three scores at least the whole game, than an actual one score game going to overtime?

[Toolbox]

Even if it's bad, if it's well played. I. I'll watch the close of it.

[Batter's Box]

So do you think the. The game with. Well I watched down three scores is well played?

[Cam Jordan]

I'll be honest, I didn't watch any of them.

[Toolbox]

I didn't.

[Batter's Box]

Of course you didn't. You don't watch football.

[Cam Jordan]

We'll take a break. We'll be right back. Batter's box is so mad at me.

[Chest Day]

Yeah, it's cool.

[Cam Jordan]

No, no.

[Batter's Box]

But I also think that they need to fix the G5. Need to be out.

[Cam Jordan]

Why? Why?

[Toolbox]

No way. No way.

[Cam Jordan]

Batter's box. Sorry. Go look at the games last year. Who got blown out?

[Batter's Box]

Who?

[Cam Jordan]

The power fives.

[Batter's Box]

So what? Against other power fives.

[Cam Jordan]

Yeah.

[Batter's Box]

Okay.

[Cam Jordan]

Or the power four.

[Batter's Box]

Whatever.

[Cam Jordan]

So why is it, why is it, why is it okay for the, the, the power four, whatever they are power five? Why is it okay for them to get blown out but once a smaller school gets blown out. Kick them out. Kick them out. Why don't we kick out?

[Batter's Box]

They're never going to compete.

[Cam Jordan]

Tell that to Boise State.

[Batter's Box]

That was a different time.

[Toolbox]

Well, no, it's not.

[Batter's Box]

Yes, it is.

[Cam Jordan]

Guess what?

[Batter's Box]

What year was that?

[Cam Jordan]

I got a question.

[Batter's Box]

Those players. Hold on this.

[Toolbox]

If it's a different time, when was the last time Indiana was good?

[Chest Day]

That's a great point.

[Batter's Box]

But they're not. They're not.

[Chest Day]

They are five, you know.

[Cam Jordan]

Yeah. Actually go look at their roster. They're all James Madison players.

[Batter's Box]

Exactly. That means anybody that's good on the G5 teams now is going to get bought and they are going to a Power 5 school.

[Cam Jordan]

Right. But if, if those back then Boise.

[Batter's Box]

Had like, like 15 players get drafted in the NFL. In today's world, they would not be on boys.

[Cam Jordan]

Right. But guess what everybody, James Madison, guess what? Everybody's going to get their players because they want them to come to their school. But if they're not good enough to compete, they shouldn't be in the playoff because they're not good enough to compete. Why are people going and get them to come join their team.

[Batter's Box]

There's individual, very good individual players that could be placed in the right situation. But as a team they're not going to compete with.

[Toolbox]

So you would rather see.

[Cam Jordan]

Oh my God. You'd rather see the fourth team from the SEC who is just average. I mean how we are.

[Batter's Box]

Who's the fourth best team in the sec.

[Cam Jordan]

Texas.

[Toolbox]

I mean, Mississippi. I guess they're in. I mean, would you like the fifth? You want Texas to get in the.

[Cam Jordan]

Fifth from the sec, who needed a miracle to beat Mississippi State.

[Batter's Box]

Texas would barely be Kentucky entertaining than Tulane. Right.

[Chest Day]

And Notre Dame probably been more entertaining.

[Batter's Box]

Exactly.

[Cam Jordan]

What is entertaining?

[Batter's Box]

Yeah.

[Toolbox]

What's entertainment?

[Batter's Box]

A good game.

[Toolbox]

What.

[Cam Jordan]

What has Texas done that is so entertaining all year?

[Batter's Box]

Arguing for Texas here.

[Chest Day]

I'm not saying that. Yeah. But they would have been a more entertaining game to watch. It had a little bit more juice just because they.

[Toolbox]

Did you watch the blowouts last year?

[Chest Day]

Which ones?

[Toolbox]

The first round when the. All the bye week teams got.

[Batter's Box]

Which one?

[Toolbox]

I don't know. I can't.

[Chest Day]

But sometimes it's just like a boxing match. And sometimes when it's a marquee versus a marquee, it is going to be more entertaining. And they do probably have the. The horses to run because they are Texas. They are Notre Dame in a way that Tulane. Why not use it? Just like, I don't hate the G5, but I get the point.

[Batter's Box]

At the very least, like, have. Why can't they have their own playoff bracket? I mean, what would be awesome is if they had their playoff bracket. And you go, soccer. Oh, God. I'm talking soccer.

[Chest Day]

Here we go.

[Cam Jordan]

Yeah. Bring it all back.

[Batter's Box]

Relegation, like the bottom. Go to the G5. I would love it. Go up. That would be incredible.

[Cam Jordan]

But they won't do it.

[Batter's Box]

They won't do it. But it's just my dream here.

[Cam Jordan]

The 20 semifinal games in the four team era. The four team playoff era.

[Batter's Box]

But we're not in that era.

[Cam Jordan]

No, no, no. Just listen. The average margin of victory was 17.9 points. And you guys are like, oh, my God, we got to have competitive games now.

[Batter's Box]

Yeah.

[Cam Jordan]

Of the four College Football playoff first round games last year, the average margin of victory. Get ready for it, guys, because we can't have G5 because they can't compete. Was 19.3 points. God.

[Chest Day]

Put those.

[Cam Jordan]

Put those powerhouses in because they are competitive.

[Chest Day]

The backdoor cover is. Is.

[Cam Jordan]

No, no. These are last year. These are not power five teams.

[Batter's Box]

Sorry, sorry.

[Chest Day]

Okay.

[Cam Jordan]

These are teams that you guys want in the SMU's. The.

[Batter's Box]

It should go to 16. 16.

[Toolbox]

Hey, Notre Dame, Texas. Get left out again. No.

[Cam Jordan]

24.

[Toolbox]

24.

[Cam Jordan]

We got to get them in. Exactly what happens. Get them.

[Chest Day]

Yeah.

[Toolbox]

I mean, that's how it works.

[Batter's Box]

No, it should be 16. No buys.

[Toolbox]

I'll go back to my day in basketball. Yeah. I mean, we're in.

[Batter's Box]

Oh, God.

[Cam Jordan]

32. That's it.

[Batter's Box]

Is it bad now with 64?

[Cam Jordan]

No, but if they expand it, it's going to be even stupider. Like, it's like the regular season right now. It's getting more and more worthless.

[Batter's Box]

It's not.

[Chest Day]

Yeah, I get your point.

[Cam Jordan]

It's getting to become worthless.

[Batter's Box]

Ask the teams that missed how worthless it is.

[Chest Day]

True, but I still think it's easy.

[Cam Jordan]

But that's what I'm saying.

[Chest Day]

But if you won one game, you lost in the regular season, you were out.

[Batter's Box]

Yes, but why is that good?

[Chest Day]

I think you're.

[Batter's Box]

That's horrible.

[Toolbox]

Right?

[Chest Day]

We needed to kind of recalibrate that a little bit.

[Cam Jordan]

So how many would you like? Him.

[Chest Day]

I like to wear it. Sad. It's not perfect.

[Batter's Box]

No buys.

[Toolbox]

The only problem is you need to do away with a commitment. It should all be mathematically by.

[Batter's Box]

I mean, how.

[Chest Day]

But now we're trusted.

[Batter's Box]

AI. It's so hard with the different schedules.

[Cam Jordan]

And, like, we don't do AI on this show. We're 100 human.

[Chest Day]

100.

[Batter's Box]

If everybody played like opponents, then it's just weird.

[Toolbox]

Well, it won't happen until there's a. A central scheduler that can sort of balance things.

[Cam Jordan]

But it's.

[Toolbox]

I don't know how you do.

[Cam Jordan]

There's way too many college teams. Way too many to have a balanced schedule like you. You can't like the NFL. You limit it. There's 32 teams. Whatever.

[Batter's Box]

That's right.

[Cam Jordan]

But there's only 30. You know what I mean? You can at least play like the same people in your division. Play that division in college.

[Batter's Box]

Yes.

[Cam Jordan]

There's. How many teams? 100, 300 teams?

[Batter's Box]

The four Power Four conferences. Then you do the G5s. They play each other.

[Cam Jordan]

No.

[Batter's Box]

So you don't have. So you don't have. Alabama's playing. Freaking Little Sisters of the Poor. You know, the. How the SEC likes to do.

[Cam Jordan]

But that's what I'm saying. So then we go through the SEC schedule, and then five we get out of 16 teams. We get five from the SEC.

[Toolbox]

How. What.

[Cam Jordan]

What's the.

[Toolbox]

What's the point of the regular season?

[Cam Jordan]

It's so stupid.

[Batter's Box]

No, but you have four conferences, right?

[Cam Jordan]

So five from the SEC, five from the Big Ten. That's 10. Then three from the SEC and three from the Big 12.

[Batter's Box]

Yeah.

[Toolbox]

Wow.

[Cam Jordan]

What a fun playoff, man. Let me get Oklahoma State in there. Who went eight and five. That's a great.

[Batter's Box]

I mean, you're just. Oh, you're exaggerating. 8 and 5, are you kidding?

[Toolbox]

I don't think they're that good.

[Cam Jordan]

Well, I mean, I'm, I'm saying like it just gets ridiculous when we're going to the fit. It's sort of like the ncaa.

[Batter's Box]

Do you think it's ridiculous that you have a playoff of the 12 best teams and the number 20? Well, who's my team makes it it? That doesn't make sense.

[Toolbox]

That committee can decide the 12 best teams. You think they really.

[Cam Jordan]

Because they don't even watch the games. Yeah, I mean half of them don't watch the games.

[Batter's Box]

And I'm not arguing against you. I just don't know how you figure it.

[Cam Jordan]

Sounds like it.

[Toolbox]

Damn it.

[Cam Jordan]

And go to your room.

[Batter's Box]

At the very least.

[Cam Jordan]

What about preseason rankings? Get rid of those two.

[Batter's Box]

Agree.

[Cam Jordan]

Because that is just absolute horse crap.

[Batter's Box]

Yes.

[Cam Jordan]

Because a team starts at number five, they lose three games. It's like, like, oh, they were number five, so they're only number 20.

[Toolbox]

Only that reputation.

[Cam Jordan]

Yep, yep.

[Toolbox]

If. If Indiana loses, they'll drop 20 places. If Texas loses.

[Batter's Box]

Oh, probably an exaggeration.

[Cam Jordan]

No, it's not an exaggeration there.

[Toolbox]

But reputation. Big schools don't drop as much as agree. You know, the non popular. Yeah, damn it.

[Batter's Box]

What was I gonna say?

[Chest Day]

The average person who's not really paying attention needs the rankings to kind of know what the lay of the land is season just so when the week.

[Batter's Box]

One you're like content. You still don't understand.

[Chest Day]

Yeah.

[Batter's Box]

Arguing is bad. Argument is good for the product.

[Cam Jordan]

Can I tell you the. The whole point of this though?

[Toolbox]

It's money, money, money, money.

[Cam Jordan]

It's a TV show, so they don't care. Yeah, they want, they want.

[Batter's Box]

They want people arguing.

[Cam Jordan]

But that's. And that's why I have a problem with the NCAA tournament for basketball. I would rather see the small school. What is it?

[Toolbox]

It's a two parter. My God, I need this.

[Cam Jordan]

What do you need?

[Toolbox]

Nothing.

[Cam Jordan]

You need a cigarette?

[Toolbox]

Light?

[Batter's Box]

They cannot allow two G5 teams in. They gotta tweak that.

[Cam Jordan]

Oh, so they can put five SEC teams in, but they can't put two G5s?

[Batter's Box]

No, they can put actually the best teams in. I don't care if they're G5. All right, whatever.

[Toolbox]

I want to go to a different subject. We talked about it earlier.

[Cam Jordan]

All right, we'll take a break and we'll come back and we'll hear all about your. Your subject.

[Toolbox]

This is around Robin thing of.

[Cam Jordan]

Yeah, you're right. We'll be right back. We're never going to solve it. We're Never. We're. Yeah. We're never going to agree. So let's talk about the subject. You want to talk about batter's box? No. Toolbox.

[Batter's Box]

Whoa.

[Cam Jordan]

Sorry.

[Toolbox]

I'm the good looking one.

[Cam Jordan]

Sorry.

[Toolbox]

What.

[Cam Jordan]

What is this? What's the subject?

[Toolbox]

Earlier we were talking about.

[Cam Jordan]

What the hell? Did you just burp in the mic?

[Batter's Box]

Yeah.

[Toolbox]

Then you could lower it.

[Cam Jordan]

The one time you don't have the mic in front of you is when you burp.

[Batter's Box]

But.

[Cam Jordan]

Okay, go ahead.

[Toolbox]

We were talking about radio. Radio shows, sports radio shows, the worst ones.

[Cam Jordan]

And what is it?

[Toolbox]

Well, I've got a couple, but I can't come up with the goddamn guy's name.

[Batter's Box]

This is riveting.

[Cam Jordan]

Hold on.

[Batter's Box]

Is it the one I was talking about?

[Toolbox]

One of them is Paul Fine.

[Batter's Box]

Okay.

[Toolbox]

Oh, my God. Whoever. I. I have no idea why anyone listens to that.

[Cam Jordan]

I've never listened. So I don't know. Really. It's. It's not on the radio at my. In Nashville. Like I've known her daddy. We don't have that on the radio either. Oh, but I know that Paul Fine Bomb was on tv, but I. And I'd see it every once in a while, but I don't know.

[Batter's Box]

That's his. I think he does TV and a radio show.

[Toolbox]

Well, he's all of a sudden on.

[Batter's Box]

SEC Network or whatever.

[Toolbox]

Yeah, yeah, he's on the esp. He's big Alabama. Where he got his start was Alabama Camera.

[Batter's Box]

I've heard the radio show and I agree with you. It's unlistenable.

[Cam Jordan]

What I. What is. I don't understand.

[Chest Day]

I don't listen either. I know the guy and he probably.

[Toolbox]

Is irritating, but 127.

[Chest Day]

No, but I. I do. I can see him being irritating, but he's irritating.

[Cam Jordan]

But why is he irritating?

[Toolbox]

Well, not necessarily him.

[Batter's Box]

Not him.

[Toolbox]

Well, he. But his callers. You need a dictionary to figure out what they're saying.

[Cam Jordan]

A dictionary.

[Batter's Box]

I'm just. Well, I watched that and I think like, how the hell.

[Cam Jordan]

Okay.

[Batter's Box]

How could we not come up with this crap to. And be rich like that?

[Toolbox]

I don't know.

[Batter's Box]

He literally takes calls. They talk. You can't understand it. And then he pauses and then it's like, okay, next caller. Yeah, he doesn't really talk.

[Cam Jordan]

Huh?

[Batter's Box]

It's crazy.

[Cam Jordan]

Okay, but yeah, back.

[Toolbox]

I mean, the crazy.

[Batter's Box]

What's the other one?

[Toolbox]

He may run for Senate.

[Cam Jordan]

It's like, oh, my God. Well, I thought that's what. Bruce Pearl. I thought that's why he quit. I thought he was going to run for office. And then he didn't run. I don't understand why he just quit. Was that just his way of getting his son the head coaching job at Auburn? Probably. It's sort of like Bobby Knight got Pat Knight over attack Red Raiders.

[Chest Day]

Here we go again.

[Batter's Box]

What is his bringing his. He brought all his like two of his sons to North Carolina.

[Cam Jordan]

Well, they were in New England too, weren't they? And then now they got Bobby Petrino. They're gonna be good.

[Batter's Box]

Who?

[Cam Jordan]

North Carolina.

[Batter's Box]

They need some players to get good.

[Cam Jordan]

No, I agree with that.

[Toolbox]

Oh, they not kid.

[Batter's Box]

They'll be better.

[Cam Jordan]

Really?

[Batter's Box]

I mean better than they were this year. Well, hell, it's hard not to be better.

[Cam Jordan]

Yeah, I was gonna say what they were freaking terrible. Yeah.

[Toolbox]

And I check doesn't give a rat's behind.

[Batter's Box]

Dude, he's banging 22 year old or whatever.

[Cam Jordan]

She's so hot. I mean, good God.

[Batter's Box]

I mean, how does he do it?

[Cam Jordan]

I mean, I. I don't understand.

[Toolbox]

I mean, how does he do it?

[Cam Jordan]

He has so much damn money. That's money you can do anything.

[Toolbox]

You know, he stole away from or she left another rich. I mean she just travels the rich.

[Batter's Box]

I get it, but whatever, man. Like, I don't know how you do that.

[Cam Jordan]

Like, how do you handle your coach pulling the hottest chick on the whole team like you're like, damn, man, Coach, how'd you do that? Like you know the football player.

[Toolbox]

They know how he did it.

[Cam Jordan]

No, but I'm saying that's an ego hurt for the football player.

[Toolbox]

She may be dumb as opposed to.

[Cam Jordan]

I don't give a damn.

[Batter's Box]

I'm sure he doesn't either.

[Toolbox]

Well, after.

[Cam Jordan]

Oh, okay, whatever. After what, dad?

[Toolbox]

One night. You're right. Who gives a hang around and they're dumb as a post. It's gets old real quick.

[Cam Jordan]

Yeah, no, I mean I get.

[Batter's Box]

I feel like if they're that low, they're probably not hanging around like they're going to eventually.

[Toolbox]

He was going to cheerleading. Disappointing the relationship toolbox. I wouldn't go to my own kids cheerleading.

[Batter's Box]

Hey man, if that's the. If that's the price for entry, then it's just relationships.

[Chest Day]

That's what you do.

[Batter's Box]

Maybe. But she's like, hey, okay, hey, if you want this, you got to come to my cheerleading meets.

[Cam Jordan]

When it goes on for long, as long as it has, I start to think like, I literally think elder abuse. Like I think he's not all there. Like if we give him a psych evaluation, he might have lost.

[Toolbox]

At that age, it is doesn't matter that I'm telling you.

[Chest Day]

How long has it been, you think?

[Toolbox]

Shoot, from over a year.

[Cam Jordan]

Over a year. Okay.

[Batter's Box]

I think the same thing. Because just the stories about, like, other stuff, football related is. It's very weird. Like, he won't let any Patriots scouts in his building. Like, what is going on?

[Toolbox]

He lets her come to practice.

[Cam Jordan]

Who?

[Batter's Box]

Who? Because they were mean. Because they were mean to him. He won't have any of his players have contact with the Patriots.

[Cam Jordan]

It's weird.

[Toolbox]

He's lost it all his assistants are his kids. It's like.

[Batter's Box]

Yes. That's what I was saying.

[Cam Jordan]

You guys are like, my kids. I got you guys on a pod. I'm like, Bill Belichick.

[Toolbox]

Yeah.

[Cam Jordan]

Good God.

[Batter's Box]

It's like his kids and his best friends or whatever.

[Toolbox]

Yeah. It's ridiculous.

[Cam Jordan]

I.

[Toolbox]

At his age. I don't know why.

[Cam Jordan]

Yeah.

[Batter's Box]

What else are we talking about?

[Cam Jordan]

Well, I want to talk about, like, Chester. How much football do you watch?

[Chest Day]

How much football?

[Cam Jordan]

Probably.

[Chest Day]

I don't want to say it for a Joe. Two and a half games a week, probably Monday and Sunday.

[Batter's Box]

Acceptable.

[Chest Day]

And then the Cowboys. So probably three.

[Batter's Box]

Okay.

[Chest Day]

But not much more.

[Batter's Box]

That's good.

[Cam Jordan]

This dude gets so mad at me.

[Batter's Box]

He doesn't watch any game.

[Chest Day]

And he watches some games.

[Cam Jordan]

No, some.

[Chest Day]

You don't watch Monday Night Football?

[Batter's Box]

No, I do.

[Cam Jordan]

That's one game.

[Chest Day]

Sunday Night Football, sometimes Thursday Night Football, sometimes that, but sometimes. You mean. I didn't know what's.

[Cam Jordan]

Well, like. Like, whenever the Rams were playing. Whoever they were playing. I don't know. Rams, Seahawks.

[Batter's Box]

Ram Seahawks. Sorry. Hey, He.

[Cam Jordan]

He texted me. He's like, oh, my God, what a game. It's like, oh, I didn't see it, man. He goes, I'm watching the season finale survivor.

[Batter's Box]

I'm watching 16 and Pregnant.

[Cam Jordan]

Nope. I said season finale Survivor because I'm.

[Batter's Box]

Watching Survivor over that game, which he already had recorded.

[Toolbox]

Right.

[Chest Day]

I get it.

[Cam Jordan]

Yeah.

[Chest Day]

Yeah.

[Cam Jordan]

But guess what? Guess what? We were leaving out of town the next day, so I wanted to watch it before we went on vacation for Christmas because that was the only time we were gonna have to watch it. It's a show my wife and I watched together. So if we had to wait, is that if we wait for two weeks, we may know who wins by that two weeks, and that would ruin everything. So it was the next night.

[Batter's Box]

Watch it on your computer.

[Cam Jordan]

Computer.

[Chest Day]

But here's the thing, though. Like, I watch it, but I watch it sometimes in the background. I'm doing other things. It's there. It's in and out. But I'm not locked into every game. I feel like I'm a little bit more lunch's side of the table.

[Batter's Box]

I'm saying every game. I'm saying big game, Bears games. He doesn't even watch.

[Cam Jordan]

I don't have. Not all the Bears games are on my tv.

[Chest Day]

Okay, that's. That's not the. You should have all the Bears games.

[Cam Jordan]

How?

[Chest Day]

I'm just saying I.

[Toolbox]

My.

[Batter's Box]

You have my YouTube login.

[Cam Jordan]

Yeah, but when you're. When you're watching. I can't watch.

[Batter's Box]

Yes, you can.

[Cam Jordan]

I don't know.

[Chest Day]

Well, I do feel like there's a different theory here. Batters box. You're pretty hardcore about that, though.

[Cam Jordan]

He gets really mad at me, like, I can't believe you didn't watch. I'm like, Thursday Night Football, it was supposed to be a big game, right? But how do you know it's going to turn out to be a good game? So if I. If I watch it and it's like a dud.

[Batter's Box]

Oh, then you can turn it.

[Chest Day]

Then you turn it.

[Batter's Box]

Yeah, but you definitely won't know if you don't even watch it.

[Cam Jordan]

Well, okay. And then he's mad at me. I didn't watch the.

[Batter's Box]

I'm like, do you. Do you. Did you see that sports podcast?

[Cam Jordan]

No.

[Batter's Box]

How do you run a sports concert?

[Cam Jordan]

It's more of a lifestyle if you.

[Chest Day]

Don'T watch sports, but for fantasy reasons, you're not watching. Just playing devil's advocate.

[Cam Jordan]

No, I watched some. Okay, some.

[Batter's Box]

But the last three weeks, he's watched next to nothing.

[Cam Jordan]

Then it was like the A M game. He was mad at me.

[Toolbox]

You told me three and a half games.

[Chest Day]

I know. I'm trying to cut you off because I told you I don't watch as much football as I used, too.

[Batter's Box]

So I'm getting ahead of this franchise splitting at the same.

[Cam Jordan]

Right.

[Toolbox]

I think he's talking two stories here. Right?

[Cam Jordan]

And that's my problem, which was that. Well, it's like the Friday night was. Was A and M and Miami. That Friday night. No, Alabama, Oklahoma. They were on. They played on a Friday night, right? The. The. The playoff. The College Football Playoff.

[Batter's Box]

I don't remember.

[Toolbox]

Yeah.

[Cam Jordan]

And he hits me. He's like, oh, my God, did you see that game? How did Oklahoma choke that away?

[Batter's Box]

And I'm like, did I say that for that game?

[Cam Jordan]

And I said, they were up 17 nothing. He said, and they lost. I was like, I didn't see it.

[Toolbox]

I think he's just watching the scores.

[Cam Jordan]

And he's like, how did you not know that? How did you not watch it? And I'm like, well, I was at the neighborhood Christmas party. You didn't at least have it up on your phone? I'm like, well, I can't walk around the Christmas party with my phone out watching the game. Hey, how's it go? Like. Like what? It's kind of weird. I can't do it.

[Chest Day]

I get it. I get it. I can't.

[Toolbox]

Nobody there was watching it.

[Batter's Box]

What kind of people. This is what I'm saying.

[Cam Jordan]

It was a neighborhood Christmas party.

[Batter's Box]

A corner TV or something. Like, who are these people? You're commissary.

[Cam Jordan]

I hate to say it was a house.

[Chest Day]

That was. What day of the week is it?

[Cam Jordan]

Friday.

[Batter's Box]

Point.

[Chest Day]

What game is on?

[Cam Jordan]

Alabama, Oklahoma.

[Batter's Box]

Play College football playoffs.

[Chest Day]

Okay. Some. Not everyone's into that.

[Batter's Box]

You need to choose the people you hang around with. Better, apparently.

[Cam Jordan]

Well, it's everybody. It's not necessarily people that I hung out with. It's just people in the neighborhood. It's. The neighborhood party is a fundraiser for the neighborhood.

[Batter's Box]

Like, how many dudes were there?

[Chest Day]

I'm telling you, the.

[Toolbox]

Yeah.

[Chest Day]

The viewing isn't what you think it is.

[Toolbox]

I think.

[Chest Day]

I really don't think they watch as much sports and they used to.

[Cam Jordan]

And then he gets mad at me because the Bears and Packers were playing on that Saturday.

[Batter's Box]

His whole season's on the line.

[Cam Jordan]

And his favorite team.

[Toolbox]

No, it's not on the line.

[Cam Jordan]

And I.

[Batter's Box]

At that time, it was.

[Cam Jordan]

It was what, two weeks, a week ago? We can have. I don't know what week it was. And we drove. We drove 10 hours. Maybe first place, because we're driving Austin. We stopped to get a hotel. We were going to try to power through the whole way, and I was like, I'm going to miss the game. Then we get to the hotel, and I'm like, oh, I'll turn on the game. Now that we're at the hotel, the hotel doesn't have Fox. Wow. So, okay. So I went to bed.

[Batter's Box]

You have a smartphone.

[Cam Jordan]

This is what I'm saying. I.

[Batter's Box]

You can figure out how to watch it.

[Cam Jordan]

I don't.

[Batter's Box]

I don't know.

[Chest Day]

You can only try so hard. I'm not going to use the phone for too much. So I'm not. I'm just. I'm a little bit more on team lunchboxes. I'm not watching. I've never watched a football game on my cell phone. Right.

[Cam Jordan]

It's like, wow. Now that is like, oh, my gosh.

[Toolbox]

Have you.

[Chest Day]

No, I Don't think Toolbox.

[Toolbox]

I don't think mine will get us. I don't have a smart.

[Cam Jordan]

He's like. I'm like, oh, I'm at a kid's birthday, you know, at a kid's game. Well, why do you have it on your t. Your phone? Well, I.

[Batter's Box]

And I'm not saying I'm watching it like this, but I'll have it like in my pocket with the. Like listen to the. Listen to it on the radio. Like you hear the play by play at least.

[Toolbox]

Right?

[Chest Day]

That. That's just another.

[Cam Jordan]

But on that Saturday I went to bed and I guess it was a great game. We won in overtime.

[Batter's Box]

Those are freaking amazing.

[Cam Jordan]

Go Bears. And he was like, wow, guess Caleb doesn't have it. Then a missed phone call. Then you didn't watch it. I don't know who you are.

[Toolbox]

Yeah, I'll tell you what. Because after week two center has ruined me because who watches sports? Yeah.

[Batter's Box]

Do you still watch that?

[Toolbox]

Well, I don't watch, but I get the scores and.

[Cam Jordan]

Yeah, I'm just actually caught this morning.

[Chest Day]

Dude, it wasn't that bad.

[Cam Jordan]

They were interviewing wrestlers other day they were breaking down a wrestling match.

[Batter's Box]

Are you going to espn?

[Cam Jordan]

No, but just, just in the.

[Chest Day]

Only the background. You know what I mean? I don't have to be like, it's.

[Batter's Box]

Literally never on my TV unless it's money.

[Toolbox]

I. I will admit I don't just sit and watch games. Sports I'm doing.

[Cam Jordan]

You don't watch.

[Batter's Box]

You don't watch anything.

[Toolbox]

No, you're right. But if you Bang Theory, I watch that.

[Cam Jordan]

Oh, that's terrible.

[Batter's Box]

Oh my God.

[Toolbox]

Great.

[Cam Jordan]

Do you watch Bang Theory?

[Chest Day]

No, I'm sure it's fine.

[Cam Jordan]

What do you want? What do you want?

[Chest Day]

Isn't that show stuff on hbo? But I don't even watch that much.

[Batter's Box]

Anymore and that show over.

[Chest Day]

Yeah, but it's living syndication forever.

[Cam Jordan]

Yeah. Like what's on HBO that you watch? Do you watch hacks?

[Chest Day]

No, I need to watch.

[Cam Jordan]

That's good. That's a good show.

[Toolbox]

They were.

[Cam Jordan]

When I went to la, they were filming hacks in my. Oh, really? Hotel. Yeah, just a little House of the Dragon. Absolutely.

[Toolbox]

Box up here.

[Batter's Box]

She knows House of the Dragon.

[Chest Day]

Absolutely.

[Batter's Box]

Yeah.

[Chest Day]

House of the Dragons for sure. Yeah.

[Cam Jordan]

Never heard of it.

[Chest Day]

Can't wait.

[Batter's Box]

It's the prequel to Game of Thrones.

[Chest Day]

I remember. I remember when I was living with Lunch Box at the time and I. He came home early and I literally ran to the TV because I was watching Game of Thrones.

[Cam Jordan]

Embarrassed.

[Chest Day]

It was ahead of his time, bro.

[Batter's Box]

What?

[Chest Day]

This is way early.

[Cam Jordan]

What's wrong with you? He turned it off, man.

[Chest Day]

This is before nerd culture.

[Batter's Box]

You're embarrassed of his judgment.

[Cam Jordan]

Dude, at that time, yes, because I'm good with TV shows.

[Chest Day]

I was like I can't believe I was early. I couldn't believe it. Don't get me wrong, I'm Die Hard.

[Batter's Box]

I mean you're all about like.

[Chest Day]

But dragons and sorcery one my was.

[Cam Jordan]

My thing back then.

[Batter's Box]

Reality tv.

[Cam Jordan]

I have a wife that doesn't like to feel she doesn't want to watch shows that make her feel. So it's hard to watch a lot of shows.

[Toolbox]

Right.

[Chest Day]

Because it's just too taxing.

[Cam Jordan]

Yes.

[Batter's Box]

Too emotional.

[Cam Jordan]

Yeah. She, she deals with enough emotion with three kids and trying to deal with life that when she watches TV she doesn't want to see how emotional can.

[Toolbox]

You be over taking. They try a kid's butt.

[Cam Jordan]

So like say we don't wipe kids butts.

[Batter's Box]

Like intense Dr. What kind of a does she watch?

[Toolbox]

Do you go through scary?

[Cam Jordan]

No, she doesn't watch scary.

[Batter's Box]

No. Scary? No. Drama?

[Cam Jordan]

Nope.

[Batter's Box]

Comedy?

[Cam Jordan]

She'll watch comedy.

[Batter's Box]

She.

[Cam Jordan]

She can laugh.

[Batter's Box]

Okay. And that's it.

[Cam Jordan]

That's it.

[Toolbox]

What kind of emotion for every day is about your kids?

[Cam Jordan]

Well, I'm not, I don't know if it's about her kids. It's just she doesn't want. She watches TV to escape and so she didn't want to get emotional.

[Chest Day]

That's a fair point of that. Sometimes you don't want heavy stuff.

[Toolbox]

The only thing I want is comedy.

[Cam Jordan]

Right.

[Chest Day]

You don't want heavy stuff when you've.

[Toolbox]

Had a heavy one. I told you about it.

[Chest Day]

Yeah, I'm okay. I will watch.

[Cam Jordan]

No, do not watch that. You're not watching the one about the schools.

[Chest Day]

Oh, that one's not getting watch.

[Cam Jordan]

No, no, no. What in the.

[Batter's Box]

I got a list.

[Cam Jordan]

What's your list to me?

[Batter's Box]

[Cam Jordan]

What's your list?

[Batter's Box]

No, I have a question. Are you going to watch the Bears game this weekend?

[Cam Jordan]

Oh, yeah. Ners.

[Batter's Box]

Are you sure?

[Cam Jordan]

I gave. I gave him a Bears jersey. I gave him a bird. I gave him a Bears jersey for Christmas.

[Batter's Box]

There's no survivor, 16 and pregnant recording or anything else that's gonna prevent you.

[Cam Jordan]

Well, now that I know it's at 7 o' clock at night, I can watch it because I'm playing golf with Garrett, Greg and Jacob at one.

[Batter's Box]

Oh, I forgot. Yeah, about that.

[Cam Jordan]

So sorry about that.

[Batter's Box]

It's never an issue for me.

[Chest Day]

Guess not.

[Batter's Box]
