Unknown Host 1
Listen, yo.
- [01:34]
Unknown Host 2
You got a lot of explaining to do.
- [01:36]
Unknown Host 1
Oh, I got a lot to talk about, man.
- [01:38]
Unknown Host 2
Is it what I think I need you to talk about?
- [01:41]
Unknown Host 1
Yeah, I think it is.
- [01:43]
Unknown Host 2
You were gonna dodge the listeners today. You did not want to do an episode.
- [01:48]
Unknown Host 1
I didn't. I didn't want to do it.
- [01:49]
Unknown Host 2
And I said, so help me God, we deserve it in a Snowmageddon to give it to our people.
- [01:55]
Unknown Host 1
Yeah, it's my son's birthday, baby. Box two. Happy fifth birthday. Can't be. Can't believe you've been alive for five years. Here's what's crazy. Five years ago, you were born, and I sat in that hospital and I was holding you, looking out the window, and there were snowflakes falling down. And here we are five years later, and snowflakes were falling down. Five years coming full circle. Pretty freaking crazy. Happy freaking birthday, boy.
- [02:20]
Unknown Host 2
Baser Used to say this about our late cat Pablo. She would say, I can't believe I've kept that thing alive for 14 years. Do you feel the same?
- [02:29]
Unknown Host 1
I think that with your first kid, you think of it more like, oh, my God, I kept something alive for a year, two years. And then once you've done it, you have a second one. You're like, oh, I already know how to do it. So it's not as shocking to me that I've kept this one alive for five years. So it's more the first one. But I do look at it like, damn. And this is so stupid and it's so cliche and we say it over and over, but it is amazing how fast it goes.
- [02:55]
Unknown Host 2
The gift of life.
- [02:57]
Unknown Host 1
No, no. It is so bizarre to me that I still remember being in that hospital and being exhausted and the tired nights and the sleepless, and you're just like, oh, my God, are we ever going to get through this phase? And the next thing you know, dude's five years old.
- [03:12]
Unknown Host 2
But don't do that with me with time, because I can explain it to you and totally bash all your thoughts of time. When you were in high school, how long ago does that seem?
- [03:24]
Unknown Host 1
Dude, it seems like yesterday.
- [03:26]
Unknown Host 2
It does. Well, that totally ruined what I was going to do.
- [03:29]
Unknown Host 1
But when you think about it, you're like, oh, it's been over 20 years.
- [03:34]
Unknown Host 2
But doesn't. Okay, so the exact. How many years has it been? For me it's been 21 years.
- [03:40]
Unknown Host 1
What year is this? 20. 25.
- [03:42]
Unknown Host 2
Yeah.
- [03:42]
Unknown Host 1
So it's been 26 years.
- [03:44]
Unknown Host 2
And it for me it's been 21 years.
- [03:46]
Unknown Host 1
Oh my God, dude, I've been out of high school for 26 years. This May will be 26 damn years.
- [03:56]
Unknown Host 2
When we.
- [03:57]
Unknown Host 1
Oh my God.
- [03:58]
Unknown Host 2
When we first moved here, does that seem like 12 years ago, more or less, or exactly 12 years.
- [04:07]
Unknown Host 1
I can't believe it's been 12 years.
- [04:09]
Unknown Host 2
That it went by that fast.
- [04:11]
Unknown Host 1
Yes.
- [04:12]
Unknown Host 2
See, but when you think about maybe because I lived in so many different spots around town when we moved. 12 years. Dude, that seems like 30 years ago. High school seems like 50 years ago. So if you think about the far distance thing, they seem actually not as far as they should. So don't do the crap with me, baby box. I can't believe he's this. Yeah, I can't believe the sore losers convention. We've had four of them. That's shocking.
- [04:39]
Unknown Host 1
That is shocking.
- [04:40]
Unknown Host 2
But there are years when stuff. When you go, holy, dude, I can't. Can you believe You've only been on this earth 39 years. How long have you been on this earth?
- [04:50]
Unknown Host 1
I've been on this Earth. Holy crap. It'll be 44 year. I'll be 44.
- [04:58]
Unknown Host 2
See, dude, it's. Dude, I swear to God, it feels like I've been on this planet 70 years. You're telling me it's only been 39? 30? It seems I've been here 80 years doing this thing. So when you do that, it really brings it into perspective.
- [05:14]
Unknown Host 1
You make me laugh so damn much.
- [05:16]
Unknown Host 2
No, but I'm telling you, I hate when people do that. Like, dude, I can't believe me and my chick have been married four years. I mean, yeah, that's a little unbelievable, but if you actually think about when me and Bazer first met, I lived at the radio station, then I lived with her, then we lived on the west side, then we got a house when we first met, I'd say 15 years ago. So to say it's just 10 is pretty shocking.
- [05:41]
Unknown Host 1
Yeah. I just look at it and I'm like, I can't believe, like, I've been on. We've been on the air here longer than we were on the air in Austin. That's wild. That blows my freaking mind. We were on the air in Austin for 10 years. We've been on the air here for 12 years. That is. But nanas, that's bananas.
- [06:03]
Unknown Host 2
But if you think then if you break it down, all the iterations of the show, all the people that have come and gone, the producers, executive producers, Hillary, I mean, she was here seven years ago.
- [06:15]
Unknown Host 1
Great point. Because I went and had drinks with a former intern this weekend.
- [06:19]
Unknown Host 2
I teed you right up.
- [06:21]
Unknown Host 1
She hit me up. And she was like, hey, my husband and I are coming to town. We're going to Kojo. And I don't know who the hell Kojo was. And I was like, oh, cool. Later, I figured out Cody Johnson is. Goes by Kojo.
- [06:33]
Unknown Host 2
Yeah, I'll pull up.
- [06:35]
Unknown Host 1
And so I said, okay. So on Sunday, I said, hit me up. And would you like to grab a drink or something?
- [06:42]
Unknown Host 2
Hey, I'm outside. Cohog.
- [06:44]
Unknown Host 1
And so we went to have drinks on Sunday at Pushing Daisies. And let me tell you, Pushing Daisies, I don't even.
- [06:51]
Unknown Host 2
Before you even say it, I bet you loved it.
- [06:54]
Unknown Host 1
Badass. Yeah.
- [06:55]
Unknown Host 2
Cause it's all tequila drinks and it's down low. It's an underground bar. No TVs, music.
- [06:59]
Unknown Host 1
Yes. It was awesome.
- [07:01]
Unknown Host 2
Because you love tequila.
- [07:02]
Unknown Host 1
Yes.
- [07:02]
Unknown Host 2
Every drink. I hate it. Every drink. That was tequila. I Want a Mickey?
- [07:06]
Unknown Host 1
Sorry. I like tequila. So they had so many options for tequila drinks. And I was like, this place is the shit.
- [07:13]
Unknown Host 2
I knew you'd love it.
- [07:14]
Unknown Host 1
I was like, I'd never been in there. And I was like, I'm down with this. I am down with this. And I'm like, I'm. Give her a hug. Good to see. I meet her husband. Hey man, nice to meet you. Forget his name. But he was really nice guy. And I'm like, man, that's crazy. I was like, who all did you intern with? And she starts naming people's names. I'm like, I don't remember. She goes. And I said, what year did you intern? She goes, it's been 20 years. I said, excuse me? She goes, yeah. I was like, 2004, 2005. And I'm like, oh.
- [07:49]
Unknown Host 2
So she was one of the first interns.
- [07:50]
Unknown Host 1
One of the first interns. It had been 20 years. And I'm just sitting there going, what, it's been 20 years since you were an intern? What the hell is going on with my life? So time is so bananas to me because now I look at it, my son, now my second son, is five years old, baby box two. He's finally going to start having memories. Because I think about 5 years old is when you remember stuff. Like when you're older, you don't remember stuff when you were three, two years old.
- [08:24]
Unknown Host 2
But you can't select the memories that they're going to have.
- [08:26]
Unknown Host 1
No, no, I can't select it. But all this.
- [08:28]
Unknown Host 2
I'm going to play God.
- [08:29]
Unknown Host 1
No, no. It blows my mind that all this shit we've done in his life up at this point, he's mostly not going to remember at all.
- [08:38]
Unknown Host 2
And the things they remember is the random stuff.
- [08:41]
Unknown Host 1
Random shit.
- [08:41]
Unknown Host 2
They'll remember a big box trip. Because we remember Disney World. My grandparents paid for it. They'll remember that one. But it's always the time dad freaked out on the interstate. Or you had to wake up in the middle of the night and drive through Chicago, two hours south of it. Cuz my dad's afraid of going through cities. That's the stuff you remember, you don't remember. Remember that bow I tied on there? Yeah, that was nice. They'll remember the time dad had too many to drink. Not the time dad was drinking his protein drink. And I'll hang up and listen.
- [09:12]
Unknown Host 1
You're right. Which is wild. It's just why? And so yes, you say time is like, oh, you hate when people say that. But it's so True.
- [09:21]
Unknown Host 2
Like, of all the times my dad coached us playing younger baseball, one of my most vivid memories is we went and worked on a dugout, and my dad was upset because the other dads were drinking and they're like, getting drunk working on the dugout. And my dad was sober and he got back in the truck after we were there for six hours. And he goes, can you believe that? They're all drunk, doing that. And we were just little kids. We go, yeah, that was weird. They were drinking an odule or they were drinking Heineken. But my dad was upset about that. Of all the memories, that's one of the memories I have. He was pissed that the other dads were drunk doing the construction.
- [09:53]
Unknown Host 1
That's really funny, too.
- [09:55]
Unknown Host 2
We don't even remember playing on the diamond. I just remember the building of the diamond the one time my dad was mad.
- [10:01]
Unknown Host 1
That's interesting.
- [10:02]
Unknown Host 2
So upset, dude, I can't believe they're drinking around you kids, and especially on the field. But I didn't want to say anything.
- [10:08]
Unknown Host 1
Like, one of my favorite memories of my dad as a coach, we were at a soccer meeting and they were talking about the sprinklers, and they said something contradictory, like, turn them off at the beginning practice, Turn them back on at the end. Don't forget, do this. Turn them this way. And my dad raises his hand. He goes, so you want me to turn the sprinklers off at the beginning of practice and turn them on at the end? They're like, yeah. And he goes, okay. I mean, I don't know why I remember that. Like, it's so stupid. Has no saying, no relevance to anything. But I think it was his tone of voice. He was very sarcastic because maybe people. I think maybe people were confused and he was trying to be like, all right, smart asses, Obviously, you turn them off at the beginning and you turn them on the end. How hard is that? And so he raises and he goes, so you're telling me you want me to turn them off at the beginning of practice and turn them on at the end of practice? And he was being a smart ass, I think, to the other people in the room that were having so many questions about it. It was pretty cut and dry. And I remember it vividly. And we were there in forest was. And we still laugh about it. We would laugh about it for years. Just bring it up out of nowhere.
- [11:16]
Unknown Host 2
When you were being super dad the other day, playing golf in the rain and then coming inside and warming up, they remember that.
- [11:21]
Unknown Host 1
Not going to remember that. Shit.
- [11:22]
Unknown Host 2
But I will.
- [11:23]
Unknown Host 1
They'll remember when I yell at them.
- [11:25]
Unknown Host 2
Unfortunately, we'll remember that. Me in the nation.
- [11:27]
Unknown Host 1
They'll remember when I'm like, brushing teeth and they are doing something and they're not listening. I'm like, just stop it. Because they still remember when they walk.
- [11:37]
Unknown Host 2
In on hanky panky.
- [11:38]
Unknown Host 1
It's six months ago, and they still, like, dead at. Dead out. Remember when we were brushing our teeth and you're like, stop it. Like, you remember that, dad? And I'm like, yeah, dad lost it a little bit.
- [11:48]
Unknown Host 2
It was a long day of work.
- [11:49]
Unknown Host 1
And I'm like, you remember when we met Walker Zimmerman and baby box? He was like, no. I'm like, okay. Like, those are the memories I want you to have, not the me yelling, whoa, just stop. Knock it off. Or stop it. Like, that's amazing. But, like, today is the day. Five years old is when he's gonna start cementing memories. And what's crazy is last night, like, he's turning 5 today. I had a dream.
- [12:18]
Unknown Host 2
Is that your oldest one?
- [12:19]
Unknown Host 1
No, he's my middle.
- [12:21]
Unknown Host 2
Okay.
- [12:21]
Unknown Host 1
My oldest.
- [12:22]
Unknown Host 2
Okay. Your oldest one seems like he's been here for 15 years. How old is he? Sixteen?
- [12:26]
Unknown Host 1
Six.
- [12:28]
Unknown Host 2
The middle one's been here at least seven. And he's five.
- [12:31]
Unknown Host 1
He's five today.
- [12:32]
Unknown Host 2
And the youngest one, how old's he?
- [12:35]
Unknown Host 1
Three.
- [12:35]
Unknown Host 2
See that? Three years has gone quick. The other ones, they've been here that long.
- [12:40]
Unknown Host 1
Five years ago. Five years ago today is when you and the guy that used to do this podcast with us showed up at the hospital with Chick Fil a.
- [12:48]
Unknown Host 2
Was that number one or number two?
- [12:50]
Unknown Host 1
Number two.
- [12:51]
Unknown Host 2
Oh, okay. Okay. Yeah. That seems five years.
- [12:56]
Unknown Host 1
That's when you guys came back to say hi to my wife. And the doctor's like, it's go time. It's go time. It's go time. And Eddie. Oh, bleep that. Sorry. Looked at her and said, well, where's the doctor? And she said, I am the doctor. That was five years ago where we sat out there and ate Chick Fil A. Right?
- [13:18]
Unknown Host 2
That was the end of sexism in our country, man.
- [13:20]
Unknown Host 1
It's just. It's crazy. And so last night I had this. I mean, he doesn't have kindergarten for another, what, six months? But, man, I had a vivid dream of his first day of kindergarten last night.
- [13:32]
Unknown Host 2
The five year old?
- [13:33]
Unknown Host 1
Yes.
- [13:34]
Unknown Host 2
Dude, I went to kindergarten when I was 4.
- [13:35]
Unknown Host 1
No, you didn't.
- [13:36]
Unknown Host 2
Yeah, I did.
- [13:37]
Unknown Host 1
How?
- [13:37]
Unknown Host 2
Then I had to go to T1 transitional because we went. My parents took us too young because I was born in September. However that falls with it.
- [13:44]
Unknown Host 1
I definitely didn't go. I went when I was five.
- [13:46]
Unknown Host 2
Okay.
- [13:47]
Unknown Host 1
Okay. That's what most normal Americans do is they go when they're five.
- [13:50]
Unknown Host 2
That's why I went to transitional then.
- [13:51]
Unknown Host 1
I don't.
- [13:52]
Unknown Host 2
Transitional's in between kindergarten.
- [13:54]
Unknown Host 1
You were ahead of your time.
- [13:55]
Unknown Host 2
It's not me.
- [13:56]
Unknown Host 1
A lot of people are transitioning now.
- [13:57]
Unknown Host 2
Parents were so excited to get us in the education system then there was a whole handful of 10 of us that they held back because we were so far advanced. So we had to. I went to school one more year than everybody else.
- [14:09]
Unknown Host 1
So you went to kindergarten Twice.
- [14:11]
Unknown Host 2
Went to kindergarten. Then I went to T1, and then I went to first grade.
- [14:15]
Unknown Host 1
I've never heard of T1 for an entire year.
- [14:18]
Unknown Host 2
It was me and 10 other students because all our parents were incorrectly told when to put their kids in kindergarten by some person at a board meeting.
- [14:25]
Unknown Host 1
Or they put them in kindergarten because they wanted the free daycare. They didn't want to pay for it because there was a girl. Katherine Gunther. She graduated with me. And she. Her birthday wasn't until November. And so she had to be four years old when she was in kindergarten because she didn't turn 7. She turned 17 when we. Our senior year. So hers was like November 3rd or something.
- [14:47]
Unknown Host 2
See, I would have gun through, but they did T1. So then our ages tended to match up where everybody then graduated at 18. Nobody was a Cooper Flag.
- [14:56]
Unknown Host 1
Huh? I was just reclassify.
- [14:58]
Unknown Host 2
Cooper flag was 17. Apparently the other day playing basketball.
- [15:02]
Unknown Host 1
Didn't know that Ryan Williams from Alabama.
- [15:05]
Unknown Host 2
17.
- [15:05]
Unknown Host 1
17. And the dream last night. It was so weird because I've never had a dream about him going to kindergarten. And then the night he's turning five years old. I mean, I dreamed about him going to kindergarten.
- [15:20]
Unknown Host 2
But it makes sense. You were thinking about his birthday party. Grades getting older. You're probably talking about it with your wife. All that stuff plays into it. It's not just this. The dream gods presented it with you the eve of your child's birth. Are you drunk?
- [15:32]
Unknown Host 1
Maybe because the dream was so vivid and it was such a weird dream because I dreamed that my wife thought it should be. He should go to his first day of kindergarten where I went to elementary school. So we flew to Austin and enrolled him at Summit for his first day where I went to first through fourth grade.
- [15:51]
Unknown Host 2
And guess what? That's a tradition only you and your wife would have remembered.
- [15:58]
Unknown Host 1
And then. And I was like. But he's going to miss the first day at his normal school. And she goes, no, this way he gets a second first day. So when we go back to Nashville in two days, he'll have that first day at that school.
- [16:09]
Unknown Host 2
It's actually genius if you're loaded.
- [16:11]
Unknown Host 1
It was so weird. And then it was like the. The school all of a sudden had rooms where parents could sleep in if they were visiting from out of town. It was a bizarre dream.
- [16:20]
Unknown Host 2
Speaking of traveling in private jets, do you like traveling a ton?
- [16:27]
Unknown Host 1
Define traveling a ton.
- [16:30]
Unknown Host 2
Like every other week.
- [16:31]
Unknown Host 1
No, probably not.
- [16:33]
Unknown Host 2
That's miserable, right?
- [16:35]
Unknown Host 1
Yeah. Like, I know people that travel for work, and they travel, like every week or other. Every other week. That would get old, dude.
- [16:41]
Unknown Host 2
The Aldeans, I follow them on Instagram. They travel all the time. They go to their beach house, Aldean has a show. Then they go to their Nashville house, Then they'll go back to their beach house. I think the kids are homeschooled. I don't know how else they pulled off.
- [16:51]
Unknown Host 1
I was about to ask, where do they go to school? How do they go to school?
- [16:53]
Unknown Host 2
That's the part of being rich that's. Doesn't entice me. I'll pass. If that's the rich life, I don't want it. The reason I have a house and live in a city is to live there.
- [17:03]
Unknown Host 1
I want.
- [17:04]
Unknown Host 2
I want to live somewhere where I know every damn street sign, every car that passes my house at a certain time of the day.
- [17:10]
Unknown Host 1
I.
- [17:11]
Unknown Host 2
That's too much traveling. And I'll hang up and listen.
- [17:14]
Unknown Host 1
I would say if like, I had a beach house and I could go spend three weeks down there, two weeks uninterrupted.
- [17:21]
Unknown Host 2
It's not that they do a one off where they'll just go the beach house for a couple of days, then come back.
- [17:25]
Unknown Host 1
That's a little much.
- [17:27]
Unknown Host 2
If they're not in a plane every week, I would be shocked.
- [17:30]
Unknown Host 1
It's. But they travel different than we. You and I. But I don't like.
- [17:33]
Unknown Host 2
But I'm telling you, I don't like traveling that much.
- [17:36]
Unknown Host 1
But if you were able to travel private, where you get there, there's no airport lines. There's. It's an hour and a half flight. Like, whatever. You. You get on the plane, you drive to the airport, you're on the plane. There's no going through tsa. There's no waiting for everybody to board.
- [17:48]
Unknown Host 2
How the do you know?
- [17:52]
Unknown Host 1
You see the movies, bro Ray, they.
- [17:55]
Unknown Host 2
Always show the no TSA lines. That's a telltale sign of a pj.
- [17:59]
Unknown Host 1
Yeah. Coaches, I mean, Ray, you never heard.
- [18:01]
Unknown Host 2
Of a BJ on the pj?
- [18:03]
Unknown Host 1
That's. That makes traveling so much easier. So it's not as laborous.
- [18:08]
Unknown Host 2
That's actually a good point. I kind of didn't think about that. So you could do your jet to take the kid to the elementary school and then bring him back the next day. And it's not as long, right?
- [18:16]
Unknown Host 1
It's, it's two. I mean, it's 20 minutes to drive to that airport. You get on the plane immediately, you fly out, you're there two hours later, you're at the beach house.
- [18:26]
Unknown Host 2
Because Morgan, when she went overseas, not to jump to too many different topics here, but when she went overseas, that many flights kind of didn't seem like vacation.
- [18:35]
Unknown Host 1
I didn't see how many flights she took.
- [18:37]

I'm trying to get Bazer to go to Costa Rica with me.
- [23:14]
Unknown Host 1
Okay.
- [23:15]
Unknown Host 2
She always wants to go to the all inclusive. I told her I need adventure in my life. I have no adventure right now. I have a nine to five, a ball and chain. If I don't get adventure right now, show me to the Cumberland, the Cumberland coffee shop. Because I need a coffee to think about it. So I want to go to Costa Rica and I went there for a whole summer. So I know the volcano to go to. I know the huge ass waterfall to go to.
- [23:39]
Unknown Host 1
You want to go do the same? Exact same shit. You don't want to try something different.
- [23:42]
Unknown Host 2
I just know we won't get kidnapped on that stuff.
- [23:44]
Unknown Host 1
Got it.
- [23:45]
Unknown Host 2
I know the bungalow to stay in in the jungle with all the monkeys all around it and you have your own private pool. I know how to take the autoboost and use colones and pay for it and go to the beach. I know how to do all that shit. I know how to go to the city. That's a little bit feeling kind of hustle and bustle and like you're about to get robbed, but you're not. I know all those different parts of Costa Rica and so I really feel like, bless.
- [24:07]
Unknown Host 1
Thank you.
- [24:08]
Unknown Host 2
I. It's enough adventure. I know it's a place I've been that I know and I don't know if Fazer's gonna like it. So with all that to say, I have six months to convince her. Over to you, man. That's. That's what's been on my mind over to you with your situation.
- [24:25]
Unknown Host 1
Well, last night my wife's like, oh, we should probably get, you know, stuff to make a birthday cake. And after basketball practice, you want to just stop by the store and grab, you know, cake mix, some frosting and maybe a gallon of milk. And I'm like, yeah, no problem. So we go. I go to the grocery store.
- [24:43]
Unknown Host 2
You guys are making it from hand?
- [24:45]
Unknown Host 1
Well, from scratch by hand, not scratch. Scratch is where you get the, the whatever. This, mix it together. This just comes in a box, has all the ingredients. You just throw it in a pan, it's there. So I go to the grocery store and this is what pisses me off. It's like 8 o'clock at night and there's not one cash register open. It's Only the self checkouts.
- [25:07]
Unknown Host 2
Grocery stories.
- [25:09]
Unknown Host 1
Oh, grocery stories. This is grocery stories. And so there's a line of like five people waiting to use the self checkouts. And there's 1, 2, 3, like six self checkout lines, right?
- [25:23]
Unknown Host 2
One chick in the yoga pants, one guy over 80, a lady they can't see.
- [25:27]
Unknown Host 1
And it's like in a square. So it's not like it's extra separate lanes there. It's like a square where everybody walks in. You go to which one? So one opens up and I go over there and I put my basket down. After waiting in line for about six minutes, you know, because there's so many damn people. It's so slow to do the self checkout because people can't find the frickin barcode. Can't. Oh, I need an attendant. It says I need an attendant.
- [25:51]
Unknown Host 2
Just turn it around.
- [25:52]
Unknown Host 1
Yeah. Oh, can I see? Yeah, I need you to enter my id because I need alcohol or you know, like, oh, these, these, this. This isn't scanning. Can you. Running. Oh, let me look up the UPC code. Okay, that's the Dasani water.
- [26:05]
Unknown Host 2
If there's six of them, five of them got to show IDs because they're all trying to suck something off after work.
- [26:11]
Unknown Host 1
So I wait in line five to six minutes and I'm like, all right, cool. And I got my basket full of stuff. I go, put it down. I start to check out. Beep. I beep one thing, beep beep a second thing, beep a third thing. And here comes the cash. The. The attendant. Oh, excuse me, sir. This is Express. It's 10 items or less. And I'm like. But he goes, you have more than 10 items in that basket, so I'm gonna have to ask you to get back in line.
- [26:38]
Unknown Host 2
Sheesh.
- [26:39]
Unknown Host 1
I'm like, I've already started. He goes, oh, don't worry, I'll just cancel it out for you. And I'm like, you have got to be freaking kidding me.
- [26:47]
Unknown Host 2
What was you at?
- [26:48]
Unknown Host 1
I was at the grocery store.
- [26:50]
Unknown Host 2
What was your account?
- [26:51]
Unknown Host 1
Oh, I was probably 20 items.
- [26:54]
Unknown Host 2
You doubled him up?
- [26:56]
Unknown Host 1
But I didn't even see the damn thing. All I did was I see someone leave and I'm the next person in line. So I'm just gonna walk up to this. If it's self checkout, it's self checkout. I don't want to limit on how many. I understand. When it used to be like there was only two self checkouts and you wanted people to get in and out faster, you had the express lane where someone's actually working when you ain't got a damn soul working at the grocery store. How about this? I don't give a shit how many groceries I have. I'm just going to use the one that is first open. How about that? But the fact that you're going to waste my freaking time to come over and cancel out my damn transaction and ask me to get back in line is absolutely absurd. It's absurd. Like maybe instead of supervising the self checkout, how about you get your ass on a register and start checking out some groceries? Then we won't have this freaking problem. I'm like, I am just trying here to get a birthday cake, a birthday card, some icing, it's a birthday sex. And some cherries to put on top of the cake because he wanted a cherry cake. And you don't have cherry flavored cake. You got strawberry, you got angel cake, you got chocolate, but you ain't got nothing with cherry. So I'm just gonna stick these cherries on top of the fucking cake and we're gonna have a cherry cake.
- [28:16]
Unknown Host 2
Did you count my knuckles sandwich as part of the 20 items?
- [28:20]
Unknown Host 1
Yeah. Did you see these two balls in this bat that's gonna slap you across the face because. Oh, sorry, I have more than 10 items. I waited in line for six minutes. I'm sorry, you have a little sign about the size of a playing card on top that says 10 items or less that needs to be eliminated. Open a fucking register and let me get out of here. I don't need to go back in line.
- [28:44]
Unknown Host 2
Did you count the tea bags?
- [28:46]
Unknown Host 1
So I took my three things of mush, put them back in my little green basket that I was carrying, and went back in line and waited for another register to open and I had to start the whole damn process over again.
- [28:58]
Unknown Host 2
Did we do an intro to the show?
- [29:01]
Unknown Host 1
I don't know. Get old. We're getting old. Hey, you know what we need to do? We need to go back to the beginning and do a damn intro and start this show right? I mean, you want to talk about so. And then here's the most annoying part. Grocery stories is I got two balloons. I got one, the big number five. And then I got one with a. A soccer ball, a basketball, a baseball, a golf ball and a tennis ball. And it says happy birthday to you or something like that. Well, I need someone to blow him up, right? And So I asked Mr. Guy, that's.
- [29:37]
Unknown Host 2
Do you blow?
- [29:39]
Unknown Host 1
Nope. Nope. I finished checking out and the guy supervising the self Checkout. The guy that made me get back in line. I'm going to tell you what he looked like. Dwight Schrute from the fricking office. That's exactly what he looked like. Same hair, same everything.
- [29:53]
Unknown Host 2
That's the kind of guys you need in the community, though.
- [29:55]
Unknown Host 1
And I said, hey, man, can you get me someone over there to blow up the balloons? He was like, oh, actually, if now that you're done checking out, you can just head over to customer service and they'll call someone for you.
- [30:08]
Unknown Host 2
No, why don't you call something for.
- [30:10]
Unknown Host 1
So you're telling me, Dwight Schrute, that I. You can't pick up the phone and say, blue, can we get help to the florals? Someone needs help blowing up balloons. Like, what is your job exactly? You are here to supervise the self checkout.
- [30:23]
Unknown Host 2
So you're just a self checkout. I was going to say something else. Police officer. You don't do the old phone call. Is that the next hierarchy call? Put it up the flag.
- [30:34]
Unknown Host 1
Like, what is your point of super. So I have to take an extra step. Instead of you just getting on the phone and calling, I have to go to a different counter, wait behind two more people that are having issues or looking for something or need something at customer service, and they'll call someone over to blow up the balloons. Yeah, that's right, sir. It's just right over there. No, I know where customer service is, but Your phone is 3 inches from your damn hand.
- [30:58]
Unknown Host 2
Pass the buck. You want to. Do you want a bonus? Grocery stories?
- [31:03]
Unknown Host 1
Yeah, I would love one.
- [31:04]
Unknown Host 2
Dude, at mine, they actually have those self checkouts. But as you're self checking out, a lady will come and get in front of you and start checking your stuff out. See, guys, guys, guys. Why don't you just have check her out or things like they used to have in the 80s where we all just go and we give you our groceries. So then she's bent over, swiping my stuff in front of me, turns around. Hi there. Paper. Plastic. Plastic. Just right there. As I'm behind her and she's in front of me bent over, scanning. Dude, how inefficient is this?
- [31:40]
Unknown Host 1
Sally, the scanner, just open a register. Just get on number four and say put. Turn your light on. Say, I'm open down here instead of getting your ass right in my crotch, dude.
- [31:48]
Unknown Host 2
And then she turns around. Card or cash? Well, I can enter that. I'm. I'm aware of how to run these little machines. Because guess what, guys, we've been running the payment Machine and the scanning for the past five years. So we know how to probably scan faster than you guys, so. So then I have to give her my card over her shoulder, and she scans it. You're all set. Oh, great. I've been behind you the whole time. I didn't even know what you were scanning, dude. How inefficient is that?
- [32:13]
Unknown Host 1
The grocery store has become the most inefficient place in the world. It's unbelievable how we have dumbed things down and made it impossible to get out of there so easily. Like, why do we make it so hard?
- [32:26]
Unknown Host 2
Then you got one's the card. Only one's Cash only.
- [32:29]
Unknown Host 1
No cash back. No. I mean, it's a nightmare. We better start the show, man. That was Grocery Stories.

And I get a text from my buddy Chris, who I don't hear from that often. He only likes to text when bad shit's going on to your favorite team. Like he's not there when your team's doing good and tell you, hey May, your team's looking good. Only once a year. He'll text what's wrong with this? Or what's wrong with your Cubbies?

So I go into the living room and I turn on the TV and it's already halftime. Kansas 26, BYU 46. And I was like, what the fuck? Like there's no way that's right. So I pull out my phone and I go to espn.com and I look and they also have the score. Kansas 26, BYU 46.
- [38:47]

You thought it was incorrect, thought it.
- [38:49]
Unknown Host 1
Was incorrect, thought the screen was wrong, thought something was wrong. And I'm like, how the hell are we down 20 points at halftime to by you? We, we. We were the number one team in the country to start the season and come this Sunday, we will be unranked. So I'm sitting there going, we're down 20. We're about to see an epic, epic Kansas comeback in the second half. We are going to be diving all over that floor. We're going to be full court pressing. There's going to be all out effort and I'm gonna, I'm gonna see hustle like I've never seen before out of the Kansas Jayhawks. And what did I watch? Two out of the first three possessions we had the Ball. In the second half, I watched Unathletic, slow as a sloth, soft as fucking Charmin. Hunter Dickinson pull up from three.

I said, kansas versus byu. He's like, oh, is Kansas winning? No, they're down by 29. Dude, we. Hunter Dixon did hit one of the threes, but then he thought he was a three point shooter. And then we proceeded to shoot three after three after three. And you know what we didn't do? Make three after three after three. You know what BYU did? They made three after three. Driving layup. Oh, drive past you. Lay up. Drive past you. Floater. Good God. I thought it couldn't get worse. They were beating us by 37 fucking points. 37 points, Ray. And I am just sitting there going, I'm done with this team. Like, I have never been so discouraged by a team. And I sat there and I watched it and I said, these guys hate each other.

But there is a fracture in the team. They absolutely hate each other. They hate playing together. There is no chemistry. Nobody is having fun. BYU was just laughing and dancing and shitting all over our faces. And I said, God, we're going to be un ranked. I will tell you this. I don't turn off Kansas basketball. I do not turn it off. Last night was 7 minutes and 46 seconds left on the clock. I said, there's no point in watching this shit anymore. And I turned off the game when we were down 37 freaking points. I think it was 37. I couldn't even do the math because we only had like 38 points and they had like 70 something. And so I was like, I'm out of here. I don't need to watch this. And then I look at a quote from Bill Self last night and he.

Unknown Host 2
Said, quote, not going to get the banner removed when you get beat.
- [43:11]
Unknown Host 1
Yep, no need to take down the banner. He said. He his exact quote. Let me pull it up for you, Ray, because you're thinking they stayed in Utah since Saturday. Team bonding. They're going to come together and they're going to realize, you know what? This is us against the world. Ray, was I wrong, man? The Bill Self quote, he said, let me tell you, Self, we need to get away from each other. I'll tell you that point blank. Self said the trip did not go as planned. He hoped it would be a bonding trip, but it has not turned out like that.
- [43:48]
Unknown Host 2
Slapping ass in the shower.
- [43:50]
Unknown Host 1
Ku will get back to Lawrence at 5am on Wednesday morning. They won't see each other until Thursday. That right there tells you he thought this was going to be the trip that united the team. There's been something wrong all season. He thought this was the trip. Self said the trip did not go as planned. He hoped it would be a bonding trip, but it hasn't turned out like that. AKA they fucking hate each other.
- [44:15]
Unknown Host 2
It's like every couple when they come home from vacation.
- [44:18]
Unknown Host 1
Yes, the vacation is so great. It's going to be. So this is. This is the vacation we need to reconnect. This is going to get our relationship back on stable ground and. And you come back from the vacation and you file for divorce. This is what that is. Dude, it is over for this Kansas basketball team. We. Dude, here's how good we were. We beat Duke. Duke is damn good.
- [44:44]
Unknown Host 2
You did.
- [44:45]
Unknown Host 1
We beat Duke and now we are getting dick slapped by a bunch of Mormon BYU people, two of the guys.
- [44:53]
Unknown Host 2
Of which are white. And they were just handed it off.
- [44:56]
Unknown Host 1
The one with the headband was just draining threes.
- [44:58]
Unknown Host 2
Dude, let me say this. There is nothing going on in sports right now. And when I say that, repeat, there is no gambling. There is no baseball. There is no basketball. There is no football. There's no college football. There is no hockey. There's really no golf. There is nothing right now because Liv is on their own tournament.
- [45:14]
Unknown Host 1
I don't know how to watch.
- [45:15]
Unknown Host 2
I don't even know how the players are.
- [45:16]
Unknown Host 1
I don't know who's in it.
- [45:17]
Unknown Host 2
You turn on a tournament, it's Rory and Spieth and that's it. And everybody Else is on live. There's nothing for sports right now. And I came into work, I. I have nothing right now to live for. And I pull up my computer, espn. Why not just throw it on espn? I haven't looked at this site in about five days. And it says a colossal loss for the history and legacy of Kansas basketball. And I said, that's dramatic. I scroll down to the score. 91.
- [45:47]
Unknown Host 1
Oh, we gave him 91.
- [45:49]
Unknown Host 2
47. And when I tell you I laughed at 1am uncontrollably, I am not kidding. I was like.
- [46:02]
Unknown Host 1
This team is what.
- [46:04]
Unknown Host 2
I thought they were.
- [46:05]
Unknown Host 1
And I was so brought in by.
- [46:08]
Unknown Host 2
The headline, I hit play on a two minute highlight clip and laughed my ass off. Dude, you guys were down 12 nothing. Then it got closer. Then you're down 30 to 15. Then you're down like 60 to 10. They're just launching threes over you guys head. The guy with the headband, he looked like Steph Curry from 1999. Dude, who is this guy?
- [46:35]
Unknown Host 1
Just drained it up. He's better than Cooper flag, I'll tell you that.
- [46:38]
Unknown Host 2
The best part of the highlight was this one white guy is about to take a wide open three and he goes, nah, man, you take it, dog. And then here goes headband, another white guy, wide open three, Drano. They were deciding which white guy can shoot the three because they're all open. I was laughing my ass off at 1am dude, that's a hell of a team to bring me to tears at.
- [47:03]
Unknown Host 1
1Am.
- [47:06]
Unknown Host 2
And I did see Dickinson wandering around like he was fucking lost. Dude, you want me to get back on defense? He made a couple the clips and he didn't even know what he was doing out there.
- [47:19]
Unknown Host 1
Dude, put his ass on the bench. Give me an athlete. Give me someone that can run. Because all teams do is freaking run as fast as they can down the court. And he can't get back in time. He is so slow. And here, here's how sad it was. With 14 minutes left in the game, Bill Self called his final timeout. He called his final timeout with 14 minutes left.
- [47:43]
Unknown Host 2
Right the ship, dude.
- [47:46]
Unknown Host 1
I can't believe we didn't just pull the red shirt off all of our red shirt players that you guys play or don't. Put the starters back in. Just put the bench guys in and see if something happens. I don't know, but I didn't even know the final damn score. 91 to 47.
- [47:59]
Unknown Host 2
I could be sensational.
- [48:01]
Unknown Host 1
That sounds about right.
- [48:02]
Unknown Host 2
God, it said colossal historical loss in the longest legacy of Kansas basketball happened on this here night. Oh.
- [48:13]
Unknown Host 1
So don't worry. I got a text from Chris that said, let me, let me see what he said later. I mean, this guy that doesn't. I mean he's a Texas fan, so he has nothing to cheer about with their basketball team. They suck. And he said, you can't spell blow out without byu.
- [48:32]
Unknown Host 2
All right.
- [48:33]
Unknown Host 1
I'm like, okay, that's so funny. So original. And so I went to the Facebook page, man, I just want, I wanted to. I just wanted to do a. I said welfare check on all the Jayhawks in here. This is a safe space, so feel free to be emotional. K. So painful to watch. Jeremy Griffith. Just so sad. Zero heart. Landon Blackburn. This team is hard to watch. I had to turn it off. Jesse Abara. NIT bound. Travis Cohen. Zero heart. With this team, seeing BYU guys doing diving for loose balls, up by almost 40 while KU just stands there is just crazy. Get this season over with already and press the reset button. Ready for Dickinson to be done. Most unathletic 7 footer I have ever seen. He runs, dude. He runs like a lesbian.
- [49:29]
Unknown Host 2
Okay.
- [49:32]
Unknown Host 1
And Caraway Callaway responds and goes, how does a lesbian run? And Travis replies like Hunter Dickinson asking for a friend. Matthew Lemons. Now KU fans are right here with us. UNC fans. Brandon Hill. I think Memphis and Kansas should go head to head for who is the biggest disappointment this season.
- [49:59]
Unknown Host 2
Brandon Hill. He loves his Tigers.
- [50:01]
Unknown Host 1
He does. He does. Rosanna. I am not well. Brandon woods puts. Puts a frickin meme of Duke. We kicked your ass. Shut up. Kobe Fassenberger, Dewan, KJ and Hunter are the problem. Not all on Bill Self. And then that was about it. I mean that just goes on and on. I mean it was just awful. Dude. It was awful.
- [50:22]
Unknown Host 2
Lot of KU backers in the page though.
- [50:24]
Unknown Host 1
Yeah, a lot of them. And we are not well. We are not well. Good news is I don't have to pick in a win at all when March comes. Cause they might not even make the damn tournament. Please just make the tournament.
- [50:34]
Unknown Host 2
Is that serious?
- [50:35]
Unknown Host 1
Serious. We still have, we still have Houston left on our schedule. I think we got Arizona. Let down our schedule. You guys are a state or someone let down our schedule.
- [50:46]
Unknown Host 2
You guys aren't going to make it out of the four corners.
- [50:49]
Unknown Host 1
We got Tech, we got freaking Houston and maybe Arizona. That's three ranked teams. We ain't winning a damn one of those games.
- [50:55]
Unknown Host 2
Dude, they're not going to let you across the Texas border. You're going to be accused of.
- [51:00]

Unknown Host 2
And I go, hey, guys, this is a video of this leak that's happening. I told him the exact location. Here's the stairwell. I took a picture and I go, yeah, probably just 10 towels. Bring them up there and you get all taken care of. That was nine hours ago. So were they then thinking to just pass the buck to our maintenance staff or our cleaning lady? Anna?

- [56:47]
Unknown Host 1
Rosanna said, do you think we'll make the tournament? This is the first time I've ever been worried we may be not in it. Oh, my God. We beat Duke, man. We gotta make it. Yeah, but that's passing the buck, dude. I can't believe it made you laugh that much. No, no. And I was like, okay, I don't want to read anything about Kansas. So I go to CBSSports.com first thing on there, Kansas basketball hits rock bottom. Okay. All right, let's just not look at sports for the rest of the day.

A rocky bottom for rock chalk. Oh, it's gotten rocky for rock chalk.

Unknown Host 2
They espn, though. They got me with the Colossal and historical. I was like, holy shit, what happened? Scroll down. Oh, my gosh. I thought, like, some Kansas guy, like, did the first ever Jaybird triple double or something.
- [57:42]
Unknown Host 1
I don't even want to call my dad today. Because usually I call him after a Kansas game to talk about. I don't. He's just gonna be like, I don't know, man. It's pretty pathetic. Pretty. It's pretty sad. It's pretty sad. So we'll say, all right, we're going home. I buzzed it.
