1. Family Phone Calls & FaceTime Fails

[02:07 - 07:36]

• Ray and Lunchbox riff on the awkwardness of FaceTime and speakerphone, especially with older relatives.
• Lunchbox describes the chaos of trying to coordinate FaceTime with grandparents:

  "You want to talk about adding so much stress to your plate?... The kids are so amped up, ready to sing, and it’s like, ah, hold on. We got to charge it up." (04:40)

• Funny anecdotes about kids muting calls and spoiling surprise gifts.

2. Sore Losers Fantasy Football League Meltdown

[13:49 - 24:19]

The Arnold Incident

• Lunchbox is fired up about a league member’s behavior:

  "Why do you have to be a little itch?... I've never seen something so disgusting in all my years of playing fantasy football." (14:23)

• A listener and league member, "The Real Arnold," tanks his team by dropping every player after a losing streak (3-8 record), sending the league into chaos.

• Ray: "Put the Pete Rose."
  Lunchbox: "Yeah. No, no, no. How—why would you let someone like that back in your league?" (20:38)
• Arnold’s Voicemail is played—he offers a tongue-in-cheek, melodramatic farewell while in the bathroom:

  "Hey guys, it is Arnold. I dropped all my players and I am gonna just take some time away. Oh yeah, that felt good. I will be leaving the podcast until further notice... Goodbye to you. Goodbye to everyone that I knew." (21:06)

[27:09 - 29:19]

---

6. The Decline of SportsCenter

[46:17 - 50:50]

  "It’s done. It is absolutely done as a serious television program." (46:22)

• Criticism of pro wrestling coverage treated as real sports news and viral on-air proposals.
• Ray: "That's when SportsCenter died... Stuart Scott, over my dead body, wouldn't be caught dead doing something like that. He did Jordan highlights... He ain't doing a best man teleprompter acceptance." (49:40)

[D]

Oh man, I gotta say Happy Friday.

[B]

Happy birthday to Friday.

[D]

Happy birthday to Friday. Man, what a day. What a day. It's. Man, it's glorious to be here.

[B]

Happy birthday to my mom. I was a bad son. Real quick. I called her with Bazer to wish her a happy birthday and I was dealing with this. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it was good. Yeah, yeah. We were in Marquette. Yeah, I haven't tried the pie you sent yet. So what do you think I was dealing with when I was on the phone with my mother Talking like that. Maybe she's in her 70s.

[D]

Yep. I would say that maybe you live out in the country, and so maybe your connection wasn't good. Maybe you were FaceTiming and FaceTime kept going in and out. So you weren't sure what she was saying.

[B]

I don't do FaceTime. Only Boomer does that. And I deleted the app.

[D]

Yeah. Because my kids, whenever we call Granny and Grandpa, Baby Box One's always like, my oldest, he's, dude, dad, why aren't they on FaceTime? I'm like, it's not that easy. My parents. Your Granny and Grandpa don't have iPhones. You would have to call them, give them advance notice, tell them to get on the iPad, get the iPad out, and when we do FaceTime, guess what happens? The kids just run away.

[B]

Nudity.

[D]

So, well, dad, put that thing away.

[B]

It sometimes shows the whole body, folks. Noted.

[D]

Yeah, Mom. I mean, put a shirt on. Come on. No. So he always wants to FaceTime. So I thought maybe you were FaceTiming, but I was wrong. Continue.

[B]

They were driving in the truck. My dad was in the vehicle with her.

[D]

Oh, God.

[B]

Her phone goes into the speaker in my dad's truck. It was raining out, and it was nighttime, and she was tired from a busy day of birthdaying. So I go as a bad son, Mom, I gotta call you. Me and Baze are gonna call you tomorrow. I don't. I feel like I'm talking to you in an airplane. So she was hearing herself in the truck. My dad's also hearing her say everything that she says. And sometimes It's, I spent $500. But dad doesn't know that, you know, so it's. Everything she was saying, she was filtering. Okay, my husband's listening. And then I go, mom, I'm. What, are you on a Delta flight? Are you on Spirit Airlines? I can't do this. So we hung up.

[D]

On her birthday. That's. That's rough because that's how it is. Like, we try to FaceTime. Whenever it's a birthday in our household, we want to FaceTime. So granny and Grandpa and Dee and Granddad, they can watch the cake cutting the happy birthday singing, and trying to get two sets of grandparents on FaceTime at the same time. You want to talk about adding so much stress to your plate? It's like, oh, my parents can do it at this time. Well, my parents can't do it at that time. My parents can do this time. Well, my parents can't do it at that time. It's like, oh, my Gosh. And then the kids are so amped up, ready to sing, and it's like, ah, hold on. We got to charge it up. Sorry. We're almost home. We're almost home. DeeDee and granddad will be home in a minute. Let us get home so we can FaceTime while we're not driving. FaceTime's tough, man.

[B]

I don't do it. I don't do it. It throws me off because there's also that latency. I'm an audio guy. So you're talking, and you're also looking at yourself and you're also hearing yourself. It throws the entire conversation off. I panic and I just go into another room. I don't do FaceTime.

[D]

Well, I mean, we do. Like, I do speakerphone a lot now. If we're not on FaceTime, if we're calling Granny and Grandpa, it's on speakerphone. Because that way the kids can talk. Instead of holding it up to their ear, they just, hey, what are you doing? Grandpa? Granny. You guys are dirty rats. And they yell at Granny and Grandpa and Baby Box two, the middle one, he likes to hit mute and go, can you hear me? And they don't respond. He goes, why didn't you. Why didn't you guys talk to me? Like, we didn't hear anything. He goes, can you hear me now? But he'll put it on mute.

[B]

Funny as a kid in the business world. Not funny.

[D]

Not funny when he does it for, like, 10 minutes straight. And Granny and Grandpa are. You can tell they're getting frustrated.

[B]

Do you teach him that one or no?

[D]

No, he just did it on his own.

[B]

A kid just knows humor like that.

[D]

Knows humor.

[B]

You probably did it once.

[D]

No, no, never.

[B]

I can't hear you.

[D]

Never.

[B]

You for sure did it once, and it was a terrible joke. It annoyed everybody. And now the kid does it every time.

[D]

He does do it every time. And then I was talking to Granny the other night, and she goes, oh, let me tell you what, I'm sending Baby Box for Christmas. I'm like, no, no, no, no, no. And she was like, well, you might as well know. I mean, that way you have a heads up. I'm like, no, no, no, no, no. She started. I go, I'm on speaker. She goes, oh, oh, oh, oh.

[B]

Assume everybody's on speaker.

[D]

Always assume. Always ask. Hey, are the kids around? Are you on speaker? Is dad around? I don't want to ruin the surprise. Is, you know, your sister around? I don't want to ruin the surprise. Oh, always ask if the people Are around or if you're on speaker, because there's. Sometimes I'm talking to my sister, and I don't know, she's in the car, and she has it on the Bluetooth, and her kids are in the car, and I'm like, oh, you know, for your daughter's birthday. And she goes, you were on speaker in the car. And I'm like, oh, well, that was good. Thanks for giving me the heads up.

[B]

I mean, you guys go hard with the birthday gift. Talk over something that probably sounds like Bluetooth or speaker. Well, hey, let me tell you something we've been keeping secret for six months. You got a second? Like, rarely am I by myself in a completely soundproof room where I could hear this.

[D]

I literally. And I don't know if I ruined. I say, hey, hey, I'm gay.

[B]

It was on speakerphone. I'm a teacher. My entire class just heard that.

[D]

All right, whatever, Whatever. Let's start the show, man. Because I am. I'm hot under the collar. I'm hot.

[B]

I got good stuff, too. We're almost too jam packed.

[D]

We are finally too jam packed for a Friday. I mean, we finally have a good podcast today because it. I mean, do you see the redness of my neck? I am fired up.

[B]

I'm sure you are. I got three things that may not even make the show. I want to talk about Bali. I want to talk about I heart now.

[D]

Okay.

[B]

I put an article in my Gmail so I can read it to the show. It's big. And then another one is the podcasts that are surgery. Surging surgery.

[D]

Huh?

[B]

Something that we're not doing. Oh, so we may not get to any of that, but I'm hot under the collar.

[D]

No, we're gonna get to it, man. All right. Your show, my show, our show.

[B]

Oh, Ed Arnold.

[D]

Oh, trust me. That's why I'm hot under the collar. That's why I'm hot under the collar. Start the show.

[B]

We had the same lead. We're gonna talk to Arnold, too.

[D]

Oh, I can't wait to hear from him.

[B]

He left a voicemail.

[D]

Oh, good.

[B]

All right, we are gonna do it live. We are the 1, 2, 3, soar, losers.

[D]

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

[B]

All, it's cz, and I'm from the north. I'm an alpha male. I live on the north side of Nashville, Indian lake with Bazer 2.333-3333-33-3333 acres. There's about to be 16 lanes going up to that puppy. And there's houses all around the 2.33333333 acres. It has changed in a year and a half that I am so happy. Pitts gave me advice and said, brother, you take a picture of your trees, brother. Your property, brother. Your house, brother, it would blow you away. The changes that happened, Brother wasn't kidding, brother. Thank God. Brother told me that I hold a picture up of what it used to look like, and now there's 30 new houses.

[D]

That's incredible.

[B]

You won't even recognize where I'm at.

[D]

Really?

[B]

Yeah. And I thought I'd hate it. Let me finish. Die of a heart attack when I'm 72, two kids at Vanderbilt. I thought I'd hate it. I kind of like it. And Bazer's dad said I kind of like it as well, because we have two acres. And then you have 30 houses in about half an acre swath.

[D]

So they're all piled on top of each other. And you got all this land, the room to roam.

[B]

It looks like if you were just to come down into this earth without knowing the history or anything, that we won't sell. Everybody else sold to this housing development except for us. But we did. We paid cents on the dollar for the land.

[D]

Yeah. So why would you sell?

[B]

We're not selling, but. But nobody else has the property. We do in any direction.

[D]

Well, right, because it's your property.

[B]

The farmers. You got your hundred acres.

[D]

We get it. I was going to say, I saw some cornfields out there. They got more acreage than you.

[B]

Well, guess what? Their next generation is okay, and the following generation's okay because they're going to sell that. The guy, I've talked to him, he said he gets offered 10 million, turns it down every time. He goes. He goes, if I want to develop it, I got all the equipment to do it. Why would I let you do it? Good point.

[D]

Touche, man. Hey, can I get a. Can I get a couple of years of corn? We're going to make some corn on the cob tonight. Thanks, man. We started the show, right?

[B]

Yeah. And I want to drink all over here. So you continue.

[D]

You spilled a drink. Oh, my gosh. No. We're going to take a break because I don't even want to get in to what I'm so angry about. I don't want to get into it and then have to stop for a commercial break. So I'm hot under the collar. I'm fired up and I'm not going to go off until we come back. I know that usually we take the commercial later and we let you get, you know, nice and warmed up. But we're warmed up. You hear me. You hear the passion in my voice. The Houston Texans took it to the Bills. The Bills kind of suck, but that's not what I'm talking about. I'm not talking about the Bills, but it has to do with football. Something with fantasy freaking football. We'll take a break. We'll be right back.

Man, oh man. Sore Losers Fantasy Football League. Something we take our pride and joy in. We let you listeners join the league every single year. We do a 48 team league and it is so fun and so enjoyable. But why? Why do people have to go and ruin it and have to cause controversy and be little itches? Like why? Why do you have to be a little itch? Why do you have to be a little itch? I mean, I've never seen something so disgusting in all my years of playing fantasy football. Like, what are you doing? So there's a team and I believe it's the real Arnold.

[B]

It's confusing because there's a team called the Real Arnold and there's also Arnold's Army.

[D]

Yeah. So I don't know who it is. I think it's the real Arnold.

[B]

Correct. And the name as it implies is the Real Arnold.

[D]

Correct. Well, the real Arnold was one of the 45 people to be drawn into the Sore Losers Fantasy League. Got his spot, paid his $200, participated in the draft. And yes. Did his draft go the way it wanted to? Obviously not. Has the season turned out exactly how he expected in the beginning? No, because he's 3 and 8, his team's not that good. He hasn't won that many games.

[B]

I thought he was six, seven.

[D]

That tell you? I did that to my kid the other day.

[B]

Oh, dads are turning on.

[D]

I handed him a shirt. I was like, hey, man, can you tell me what size this is? I can't read it. And he looks at me and goes, six, six, seven, six, seven.

[B]

I did it.

[D]

And he was like, oh. And I tried to do his brother. The next day he goes. And he comes running. Don't do it. He's going to do 6, 7 on you. He's going to do 6, 7 on you. I was like, all right, thanks for ruining my joke. But anyway, he's 3 and 8 and I don't know what he's so angry about. I don't know what his problem is.

[B]

We don't know him.

[D]

I don't know him at all.

[B]

That's the problem.

[D]

But he, he, he's mad because he's losing. He's not going to make the playoffs. But guess what? You still have a chance to knock other people down. You play till the end of the season. And it's not even that he didn't set a lineup.

[B]

No, no.

[D]

That would have been okay. You know, some people don't set a lineup. That sucks. But you know what I mean? You lose Interest cause you're getting your butt kicked because you're not very good. But no, he went. Loser of all. Loser. He went. The biggest coward move I've ever seen in fantasy football.

[B]

Biggest.

[D]

I mean, he basically grabbed his football and went home. Oh, you can't play with my ball. I'm out of here. You know, you had those kids in your neighborhood when you were young, when they would start losing. I'm going to take my ball home and you guys can't play. No. You log in to the sore losers fantasy football league atmy fantasy league.com youm can go to sorelosers.com Follow along with the league. And last night or yesterday afternoon, I don't even know what time it was that this all happened. This jackass. No, no, no. Went and dropped every single one of his players. That way everybody in his division would have free reign on his players. Devonte Smith, Devonte Adams, Quinn Chandra Judkins, Quinn Junkin Junkins, Courtney Sutton, Courtland Sutton, you name it. He dropped every single player on his roster. Team. Sorry. Mess up the script. Do you know what that does for an entire league? It gives such a huge advantage. And it just is so. Because then whoever plays you, you don't have anybody to put in your lineup. B. Whoever claims those people just makes their team so much better for no reason. Like what the hell are you doing? Like what? What grown adult gets so mad that their fantasy football team sucks that they drop all their players? It's disgusting. It's stupid, it's childish.

[B]

Team was bad though. I didn't even want any of the players.

[D]

Well, yeah, I mean, I don't care if it's bad. I don't care if it's. If you have no. If you have all backups.

[B]

Did you think about getting one of his players?

[D]

No, because he's not in my division. Right? And I looked at it, I'm like.

[B]

Well, I didn't either think about.

[D]

I'm like, well, crap, this is stupid. And he posts on the message board. This is the worst part. He posts on the message board goes, hey, I dropped everybody. So hopefully you can improve your team. They're going cheap. Get them quick. No, it's not funny. Like, there's nothing funny about screws up the whole division. It screws up the whole league. So as the commissioner, I have to go in reverse the transactions, put them back on his roster. Oh yeah, and I did a John Day Porter, you gone? He. He kicked out of the league. I took franchise ownership away from the real Arnold. Like he can no longer log in and access his team.

[B]

Calvin Ridley. But he came back to the league.

[D]

He came back. Arnold, the real Arnold, could not come back. He can go there today, and guess what? He will not have access to his team. I don't even know if he doesn't know. If he knows, he doesn't have access to his team.

[B]

Did you do it as a commissioner or did Batter the Box?

[D]

What up, everybody? It's Batter's Box here with. Well, truth be told, Batter's Box did because I was out running errands and I didn't have access to. To do it right then. And we were 45 minutes away from Thursday Night Football starting, and it was going to get complicated. And so Batter's Box did. And so the real Arnold is banned from the league. Never eligible again. No more lifetime ban.

[B]

Put the Pete Rose.

[D]

Yeah. No, no, no. How. Why would you let someone like that back in your league? They could do it again. Arnold.

[B]

Emmanuel Clase.

[D]

Smith Ortiz.

[B]

Do you want the call from Arnold?

[D]

I. Yeah, I would love to hear from Arnold.

[B]

So Arnold, after he did that, dropped all his players. He ended up calling us and leaving this voicemail. And I posted on the Facebook that Arnold is also done with the podcast. So here it is. He was in the bathroom when he did it. Hey, guys, it is Arnold. I dropped all my players and I am gonna just take some time away. Oh, yeah, that felt good. I will be leaving the podcast until further notice. Hold on one second, guys. I was three and eight. The best I could have done was six, seven. So I quit. I quit Fantasy. And I got one more thing to say. Actually, two. Goodbye to you. Goodbye to everyone that I knew. Oh, yeah. And with me leaving the podcast and Fantasy, I got. I told you I had two things. Got one more thing to say. Lunch. You. Wow, that's the voicemail he left us. I guess we can just leave it at that. I don't have a rebuttal.

[D]

I mean, it's just frustrating. I don't understand. I just. And the fact that you paid $200 and you're willing to just piss it away like that. Just give up.

[B]

It's the way I think. View it as you paid $200 to get spanked and put in timeout as an adult. Some people are into that.

[D]

Yeah, that's. What do you call that? What is that? That is. That's it. I just couldn't think of what the word was, but it just. I don't know. It's infuriating and it's. And it sucks for everybody in that division because now I have to run and see, that's the problem.

[B]

Anybody? Let me ask the question that all the truck drivers are curious about. Did anybody during that time period pick up a player that Arnold dropped?

[D]

Well, luckily they would had to put in a claim and it would have gone through like on Saturday. Oh, because you had to wait a day, like a day and a half, like 24 hours for them to clear waivers, whatever.

[B]

Like I would have tried or anything like that.

[D]

No, no, no. But, but this is where it gets weird. So now I have to run that team, right?

[B]

You're just going to submit. Oh wait, oh no. I'm playing Arnold's army. That's why it's so confusing. It's the real Arnold.

[D]

Well, I'm going to have to submit the lineup, but I'm also going to have to pick up and drop players. Because you still have to have a functioning team. You can't just let it lie dormant.

[B]

You need to have AI run it.

[D]

If I knew how to program AI to say, hey, will you log in and set the lineup and pick up players for this team? I would do it.

[B]

You would do a prompt. All you would say is, hey, AI, I have these players which are the best ones to play.

[D]

Right?

[B]

But AI runs his team and ends up making the playoffs and winning all the money. Do we get outsmarted by AI?

[D]

I mean, I'm sure the computer is smarter than we are. And that's the problem is I don't know, like I have to drop players. So he has enough to submit a lineup this week. He has a couple people on by and so I'm at to run this team like it's my team and I don't even care about it.

[B]

Okay, it was a heck of a bet, but you're petering off now. We don't care about the technicalities.

[D]

That's just annoying. It's what? It's a itch move.

[B]

Like it's like Roger Goodell being and moaning on CBS football mornings about his job.

[D]

We should just end it at the voicemail. We'll take a break. We'll be right back.

[D]

Ray, let me tell you something.

[B]

I still have three things to get to Iheart News podcasting and Bali.

[D]

You weren't even gonna let me kick it over to you? You're just gonna interrupt. Cool. I was gonna say, man, I thought that was a great segment. But maybe not. Maybe your segment about Iheart News will.

[B]

Be a little bit better so we get these emails from iHearts. Big stuff that's happening. The email we get. And I want to read it exactly how it says. Talks about new stuff in podcasting media, yada, yada yada. This one is entitled Inside audio Marketing and just tell me what you get out of this.

[D]

Okay, here it is.

[B]

IHeartRadio app is getting a dose of artificial intelligence. Genuine Pony. The AI powered platform is now allowing a highlight feature with video of podcasts. Podcasts featured are going to be loss Culturistas, Are you, Charlotte, the Breakfast Club, Elvis Duran and the Big Show. These podcasts will all have a highlight feature. The new feature comes. I guess it's out now. IHeartRadio app. What didn't that story include?

[D]

Didn't say. The sore losers podcast. Didn't say. We have a highlight reel when we post our podcast.

[B]

Do you know why we don't have a highlight reel?

[D]

Because we forget to turn the cameras on.

[B]

Yep, that's all that news story was for. Self awareness.

[D]

So what you're telling me is we need to start just turning the camera.

[B]

On, I guess, so that I can create a highlight feed and just throw it on our podcast. No idea how that works.

[D]

You know what would have been good for the. For the socials was Arnold's voicemail.

[B]

I can recreate it.

[D]

I think we're going to have to.

[B]

I was going to record it beforehand, but I just couldn't risk it going over the air.

[D]

Yeah, great point. That's great point.

[B]

Because in this room, it's a dead room. It doesn't go live. So I knew I'd be okay. I'm not going to do some stupid Arnold voice. It risk my job.

[D]

That's not worth it. Hashtag not worth it. Like, absolutely not worth it. Like, I understand. It's great and creative. Like, I mean, I appreciate you finding that voicemail and all the voicemails that we get. You being able to pull that one out, I mean, that's great. Yeah, but man, that have been good for socials. Now you want to go to Bali.

[B]

Or we can go there. I got it.

[D]

Go.

[B]

There's our transition bed. It's pretty quick, but it's deep. To our truck drivers, this is more than they're going to think about an entire month.

[D]

Question, where is Bali?

[B]

Over there. It's above Australia, below Taiwan, Indonesia, in that area.

[D]

Okay.

[B]

So way over there, people go there. Basically you can get coffee for a dollar, a meal for four.

[D]

Okay. I like it.

[B]

Yeah, the dollar's worth a lot. There you Pay a mill, whatever the. Whatever their currency is, denomination. It sounds like a lot, but it ends up being. Oh, it's $3. That's it.

[D]

Okay. I like it. Pennies on the dollar.

[B]

This dude from Southern charm, his name's J.T. he quit Southern Charm. What did he. Was it a weird thing with a chick? He just kind of was done with reality tv. And he's loaded. So he moves to Bali, sells all of his possessions.

[D]

Whoa.

[B]

All his real estate, all his assets, and moves to Bali. And you guys can follow him. It's J.T. it's not real Muto. That's a baseball player, but JT, look him up. Southern Charm, Bali. He titles every one of his posts. I moved to Bali because America is imploding. And then he tells why. And there's actually good financial advice that he has.

[D]

Okay.

[B]

Which I listen for.

[D]

Like, what. What is this? Financial. Give me one piece of little tidbit so I should get in on.

[B]

One of them that I never knew about was, if you got four credit cards, you can take all four of those credit cards, consolidate it, and go to one of the credit cards and be like, hey, can I just pay for all these credit cards with you? And they'll give you a different APR so you'll save, and you're not gonna have to pay four individual credit cards.

[D]

Got it?

[B]

Yeah. So that one individual credit card will take on other ones.

[D]

Okay.

[B]

Never knew that. Wish somebody told me that in college, I had, like, 10.

[D]

Yeah. I got, like, 10. Because they would always have a free T shirt for filling out a credit card application. I didn't know that it was bad for your credit report to apply for so many credit cards, but, man, did I get some free T shirts. And one time I was at the Cubs game, or maybe it was an Astros game, and you got to fill out a credit card application, and you got a bucket hat, and you got to pick which MLB team you got. And I picked out a Cubs bucket hat, but I got that credit card, too, man. But it was a free hat.

[B]

And so back to Bali.

[D]

Sorry.

[B]

This guy lives in Bali. He's lived there now for two weeks. Every day he'll post day one.

[D]

Well, he just moved.

[B]

Yeah.

[D]

Okay. So he's. He's just fresh. Bali.

[B]

I'm glad you said that. It helps my story. So in Charleston, he partied. They partied balls on King street, hooked up with chicks, lived a very promiscuous life. Nefarious, if you will.

[D]

Sounds very fun, though.

[B]

So in Bali for these two weeks, oh, he always says, peace and love from Bali. That's how he signs out. And he's deep now. He has a secret garden. He goes and does yoga. He said there's like a temple. He prays every day, tries to stretch. Just all. All he has is all that money from Charleston that he's sitting on. So he's able to. His mental health is what he's working on.

[D]

Yeah.

[B]

Not his mental wealth.

[D]

Very smart.

[B]

Okay. So for two weeks. Such deep things. Hey, guys, have you. This is jt. Because my country of America is imploding. Have you ever wondered what it's like to be fully free? And that will be his post.

[D]

Whoa.

[B]

I'm talking. Wow. Wow. Well, on day 13, he was there a week, almost two weeks.

[D]

Yeah. Not even a week. And seven days. Six days a week. And seven days would be two weeks, idiot.

[B]

And at the start of it, gave up drinking. He said, not drinking anymore. Gonna eat healthy.

[D]

Okay.

[B]

And gonna. Gonna try to meet people, not just sleeping around. Day 13, I'm at the club here in Bali. Meet my Russian friends. Day 14. What's up, you guys? I'm at breakfast. Hungover as balls. I know I said I was doing the 60 days sober. Ended up failing last night. Got drunk. Also ended up saying that I wasn't going to stay out all hours of the night. I was going to respect myself and my sleep. Didn't get a lot of sleep last night. Also said I was gonna eat healthy. I just ate a ton of greasy crap. So my insulin is gonna be through the roof. But tomorrow, tomorrow we're gonna start it back. So what does this tell you, truck drivers? You can take a boy out of the Bronx, but you can't take the Bronx out of the boy. This Charleston kid loved to party, love to drink, love to chase women. He's in Bali 13 days, and he is partying, drinking, chasing women, and Indonesia.

[D]

And what say what you're telling me is you can run, but you can't hide.

[B]

When I woke up and he posted the club with the dj, I was dying, laughing. I'm like, oh, he was. He had great advice for 13 days. And he was deep.

[D]

He was all philosophical. He turned over a new leap, you know, rolling out a. Towards the end of 2025. He's changing his life. And I mean, that lasts all but 13 days.

[B]

Is that not good stuff?

[D]

That's pretty funny. I mean, that. It is funny how, like, people are like, oh, I'm going to do dry January. And then you see him on, like, the first Saturday. Well, I mean, this is a, you know, wedding. So, I mean, I feel like I can make an exception, you know, because it's a wedding. And two days later, well, I mean, we went to happy hour and I didn't want to be the only one not drinking. Ah, you know what? Dry January is over. I mean, it's so hard.

[B]

He did hook up with a Russian chick, though.

[D]

Now that is dangerous.

[B]

And he's not. He's not like some tall, dark dude. He's like, kind of shorter. Not really that good looking. I'm like, props, man, but I think.

[D]

I would be nervous about hooking up with a Russian, cuz I feel like the mob, you know what I mean? The freaking mob.

[B]

I will say he's shown me. Bali, that's everything it's cracked out to be, man. It looks friendly, People are inviting. Cheap, huh? We just don't have enough time off. So I can never get to Bali.

[D]

And basically I wouldn't know how to get to Bali. I feel like it's too far away.

[B]

The flight's insane. That's the tough part.

[D]

Yeah. I feel like you would fly for two days and you'd be so exhausted when you get there. You got to spend at least two weeks to recover, I would assume.

[B]

So. Have you gone to Hawaii?

[D]

No.

[B]

No.

[D]

Have you? Yeah. You went to Hawaii? Oh, you did?

[B]

With Billy in Baser.

[D]

Yeah.

[B]

Never been one year celebration of cancer free. And that's, I believe. So you go towards Hawaii, and instead of then going to Australia, you just kind of go up a little bit to Indonesia, to Bali.

[D]

Okay.

[B]

Because you could go left or right across the globe. I don't think you go right. Because if you go right, you go, like through Europe, across Africa. I think you go left.

[D]

I have no idea.

[B]

The pilot knows.

[D]

Yeah, the pilot knows. He uses gps. I don't know how you get. I mean, like I said, I can't even picture what is. So is Bali an island? Yeah. I have no idea.

[B]

It's Costa Rica. But it's the new it thing that everybody talks about.

[D]

But it's a lot farther away than Costa Rica.

[B]

A lot. Costa Rica is two hours.

[D]

That's pretty great.

[B]

So I tell baser every time we have a vacation.

[D]

So you're telling me we could jump on a plane and go to Costa Rica? Or in the amount of time that Bill Belichick was watching Jordan Hudson do some tumbling flips, like, what the hell's wrong with this dude?

[B]

Well, and he didn't think pictures were gonna get taken. He's at A high school cheer comp.

[D]

Like, he. Look. It makes me feel like he is. This is elder abuse, dude. Like, I feel like he's not mentally there anymore.

[B]

Well, he's. He likes women.

[D]

No, I get that he likes women, but first of all, what the hell is she doing? Adult cheerleading. Like, what are we doing that.

[B]

I get him. It seems creepy. He's an older dude dating this chicken. She's out of college, and she going back, reverting back to her high school days, dancing. And the people in her competition, they looked homeless.

[D]

They look weird.

[B]

Like, they look strung out.

[D]

I agree.

[B]

And Bill's there about the cheering. Let's go. Come on. Power up that girl.

[D]

Who are the judges? Like. Like, how do you say. You know what? I got a great idea, honey. Sorry, I can't. I. I can't go to the kids baseball game today. I got to go judge an adult cheerleading competition. How are there enough people. How are there enough adults, like, out of college to have a whole league of cheerleading competitions for adults? I am shocked that there is enough people that still want to do cheer competitions.

[B]

Well. And you idiots watch that show about them dancing in Texas cheer?

[D]

Yeah, they were in college.

[B]

You guys popularized.

[D]

No, they were in college.

[B]

At least you know who didn't watch that show? This guy. That's why I'm not all up on the Breaking Bad. The dance. I wait till these shows for 10 years until they're all vetted, and then I go watch him. The cheer. We learned. All you people that watch that. That one kid went to jail, right?

[D]

Yeah.

[B]

Guess who didn't watch it? This guy.

[D]

Yeah. Jerry, I believe was his name. I think he went to jail, man. Yeah. Not a good look, man. Yeah, really not good. But it's just. I sit there and I can't. I look at him, and I'm like this hard nose, like, we're on. We're on to Cincinnati. We're on to Cincinnati. We're onto the cheerleading competition. What? I mean, I'm watching my girlfriend cheer. If my girlfriend. If my wife came to me and said, hey, you know what? I want to go do an adult cheerleading competition.

[B]

Be kind of hot.

[D]

What?

[B]

Well, because you're same age.

[D]

I got a question. Who the hell. Who's going to these events? So are they cheering in a Holiday Inn ballroom? Where are we cheering?

[B]

I got to get audio from Baser. She was a cheerleader. Ask her if she would be down to do adult cheerleading. I think the reason I was. It was weird for me is it looked like the people she was cheering with. They're all younger. They're so much younger than Bill.

[D]

The reason it was, it looks like he's a grandpa watching his grandkid. But it's adults watching adults.

[B]

Right. But see, it's self awareness, Bazer. It would be like, adult hot. Like, bays are like, I've been out of the game for 25 years, but I'm gonna go dance. I'll be like. And she's like, because my husband thinks it's hot.

[D]

Boom.

[B]

But Bill's so much older. That's why it looks so weird.

[D]

Yeah.

[B]

Because I used to. They at Texas State, they said, hey, you can come and judge. Not judge. You can play the music for these cheerleader competitions.

[D]

I get it. They're in college.

[B]

No, I. No, they were in high school.

[D]

Oh, see, that's awkward. Middle school. No, no.

[B]

Guess what? You got paid $200. It was the highest pay you got at Texas State. I did it one time. No, my name Bennett. I ain't in it. My heart's up to y'.

[A]

All.

[B]

Billy made fun of me for, like, days. I was, like, not doing it again. I was at a freaking middle school cheerleading comp, playing music for it.

[D]

No, that's too weird. It's too weird. It's too. And I. I just. I want to know, like, I'll ask baser.

[B]

I'm going to get the audio for the big show.

[D]

I would love to know how many people are there watching.

[B]

Like, you could see it. It was, like, cornered off, so it's almost like they're playing basketball on the other side. This competition had one section of the gym. And it's not your parents that are watching you. It's basically your significant others. And is there a prize?

[D]

That's what I'm saying.

[B]

She looked weird in the pictures that were taken of her. Did. Were they candids? Yes. But she kind of looked. She's still into it. Why doesn't she just cheer for, like, North Carolina or the NFL team?

[D]

Right. Why does she go for the Carolina Panthers? Like, Charlotte. I mean, somebody, like, get What? I just. I can't believe there's people in the. And do you have to pay to enter these competitions? Like, where does the money go?

[B]

For sure, it's the same. I mean, I hate to bring my buddy into this. Ross. My buddy, I love him. He still was playing hockey. He was. He's.

[D]

Hockey's different.

[B]

Hold on. He's 40, and he was playing in these hockey leagues. And he kept telling me and Dodd, he goes, hey, you guys got to come see me. And we're like, bro, you're like 40. We're gonna come watch you do these hockey leagues. Sometimes you just gotta know when to hang it up.

[D]

I get. But here's my thing. I get.

[B]

You're a soccer league. You're her.

[D]

No, it's different.

[B]

It's the age that. No, those kids are younger than you.

[D]

It's different. You know why it's different?

[B]

Because it's sports.

[D]

Well, a, it's sports, and B, like, there's a lot of people, like, it's a competition. They keep score. They get to go find judges to. To. To judge adults. And these adults that are doing gymnastics, that means they have practices during the week to get ready for these. We don't practice. We just show up by a game. It's fun. Have fun. Let's go.

[B]

Well, society has made these intramurals extra stuff that you do. Okay, but the cheerleader underground cheerleading circuit, I didn't know about it.

[D]

Didn't realize it was such a big deal.

[B]

I didn't know it existed, though.

[D]

Exactly.

[B]

So Jerry, what was he in? Was that a high school?

[D]

No, he's college.

[B]

Okay, see, that's still fine. And then NFL, that's still fine. Whereas you got a shelf life till you're about 25. Then you start putting on a little bit of weight. You can't do NFL anymore.

[D]

Right?

[B]

So are these. I'm guessing these competitions are right after NFL. You're just still.

[D]

Jordan Hudson is 24.

[B]

Oh, she is. Okay, so she's right there. It's probably her final year.

[D]

Oh, man.

[B]

If you do good, maybe I can try and get you on an NFL team. That was good. That was a good performance. He probably thinks it's hot.

[D]

Dude, I. I understand. She is hot. I get it. But he looks like a sad old puppy to stand over there like.

[B]

Like she's getting less hot. When she had that red and blue makeup on to match her cheerleading costume wasn't as attractive as before.

[D]

Looked a little clownish. We'll take a break. We'll be right back.

Ray there's something we can never watch again.

[B]

It's over. You talking about you porn?

[D]

No you porn. I don't even know if you porn still around because the only fans is kind of really taking over the world. But it's SportsCenter. It's done. It is absolutely done as a serious television program. That show that we watched all the time as kids was Stuart Scott, Keith Overman, Dan Patrick, Craig Kilborn, all those guys. It is absolutely over. Ray.

[B]

It went woke.

[D]

I was flipping channels middle of the afternoon. I think it was Wednesday after work. Looking for something to watch just while I kill a little bit of time and oh, it says Sports Center's on. All right, let me click on Sports Center. And they are breaking down the latest wrestling match. And they're like in a surprise. Nikki Flair came out of the corner and helped China Blair. And right now we got Nikki and we got Nikki joining us live. Nikki, does that mean she's going to be in your corner at. At a fight to the death? And I'm like, you're interviewing these people like it is a real thing. None of it is real. And you are supposed to be Sports center showing us real highlights from real events. This isn't real. They were interviewing the damn wrestlers. Stop. It is over. SportsCenter is done. If your dream was to be a SportsCenter anchor, you never dreamed you were going to get in there and and have to interview fake wrestlers about their upcoming. I don't even understand what they were doing. It is so bad. You can't. You interview someone after a game.

[B]

Cool.

[D]

Someone hit the game winning home run. You interviewing wrestlers about their match and who came out of the corner. It's so. Oh, you got it. No, no, no.

[B]

I have another example of when SportsCenter died.

[D]

Go ahead. Because it's. SportsCenter is dead. Is absolutely dead.

A little surprise here. 2026 qualifying offer has been extended to sports. Enter anchor Randy Scott. Huh? To be a groomsman. Let's go in the Strikey Carnivale wedding taking place July 2026. An Internet friend. That's what you called it. That's funny. I'm gonna block my own face. No, that's Shane Gillis. I won't block his face. Internet friend since 2014. Coworker since 2018. Co anchor since 2022. True friend for what feels like much longer. What camera should I be looking at? That's good. True friend told me to look down barrel. Gary STR says it would be an honor to have Scott agree to that position offers pending my final approval. It's worth $0American, but it is an open bar. I'm in. I'm in the wood. Sports put in the teleprompter. Will you be my best man? And the guy read it. He thought it was breaking news that some guy just signed a contract and the breaking news was him. Will he accept the best man position?

[D]

That's better than.

[B]

That's when SportsCenter died. Stuart Scott, over my dead body wouldn't be caught dead doing something like that. He did Jordan highlights. He did cool. Like the other side of the pillow.

[D]

Yes.

[B]

He ain't doing a best man teleprompter acceptance.

[D]

He's not having Nikki flair on to talk about saving Jenny McMahon from the top row. I don't even stop like, like, we'll interview wrestlers on here. That's fine. But it's not a live sports show where you're showing sports highlights and you're breaking down Monday Night Raw. Like, what? What are we doing? You're breaking down Monday Night Raw on Sports Center.

[B]

Well, now they do their two minute pieces that are opinion. There's no opinion with a final score.

[D]

I mean, is just. Maybe I'm just out of touch, but good God. I is awful. Awful, awful, awful.

[B]

Like, was the score last night 23:19?

[D]

I think so.

[B]

Or is that an opinion?

[D]

That was the facts, right?

[B]

Give us the facts, SportsCenter. We don't need your opinions.

[D]

Political. Right? I mean, come up with your cool saying. As cool as the other side of the pillow. You know what I mean? Things like that. But never. I just, I. I saw it. I was like, I'll never watch it again. I'm done. I will never. I haven't watched it in years. Don't know what made me turn it on. I'll watch pti because you know what they're not doing breaking down Monday Night Raw. They're not breaking it down. Like, what went down. Oh, and here's where the match turned when he went for the heel hook and. Oh, he got. He surprised him with the suplex. I mean. Stop, stop, stop. You ready for the weekend, man?

[B]

Yeah, I also, I wanted to show you this.

[D]

Yeah. You said you had one more thing you never got to.

[B]

The other one was news is now big. It said it's surgery with sports. Remember? Because I said surgery.

[D]

Yeah.

[B]

So it just says we need to talk more news. But we just did.

[D]

Yeah, we should. I mean, really, we should bring a couple news stories every day.

[B]

That's too much. Oh, on top of our other world.

[D]

It was just a joke, man. I was just trying to try something.

[B]

So show the picture.

[D]

There we go in batter's box. Guess what I texted him last night during the game. Goes not watching.

[B]

Because of Texas.

[D]

Oh, yeah. Oh, no. I haven't had time to watch yet. What about his man card? Did I revoke his man card? No.

[B]

Thursday night. So I'm. People can't watch Prime.

[D]

Yeah, but he has it. Yes, Prime.

[B]

I will put these on the Instagram.

[D]

Yeah. What is it?

[B]

So you as a Golfer. You like the colored balls?

[D]

Well, I do like them in the. In the fall slash winter because it's easier to find the yellow ball in the white grass.

[B]

Well, I just found the perfect Christmas present for you.

[D]

Whoa. That's cool.

[B]

It is a cotton candy golf ball.

[D]

What brand?

[B]

Vice. And you can get it for $214. Oh, for six dozen. You can get one dozen for 50 bucks.

[D]

Oh, God, that's expensive.

[B]

That says you all over it.

[D]

Yeah, but I'm not. Not for $50. I like the Bridgestone, man. I'm a Bridgestone E6E9 guy, man.

[B]

You're the only guy I play with that plays with the colored balls.

[D]

Yeah, I play with them during the winter, man. I'm telling you, it's easier to find it in the white grass.

[B]

All right, well, look for this under your tree.

[D]

I will. I can't wait. I don't have my Christmas tree up, but it's coming shortly. Very shortly. I saw your lights on your house, man.

[B]

They're up.

[D]

Very, very plain.

[B]

Yeah, he didn't do extravagant stuff.

[D]

Yeah, he did. Like, one strand. The whole house.

[B]

Oh, hey, man, you want to Griswold it for us?

[D]

Yeah. There was, like, no icicles hanging down. There was no nothing. It was just one strand, and it outlined the very top of your house. I was like, oh, cool. Merry Christmas, man.

[B]

Well, I'm sure he'll love that glowing review.

[D]

No, no, no. The lights were nice. They looked good.

[B]

You basically had a white option, red and green option, or an option, I believe, that had lighting behind it. They. It's classy. This isn't Chicago in the 80s.

[D]

I get it. That's what I was about to say. It was very. Dude, you took the words out of my mouth. I said it was. I was about to say it's very classy, but, man, I was expecting, like, when you said, a company is coming out, I thought, oh, my gosh, you're going Clark Griswold.

[B]

Yeah. And then baser's dad came over and I said, hey, me and him giving daps. What's up, man? What's up, Phil? What's up, man? What's up, son in law? What's up, Phil? I said, hey, you know why those lights look so good? Cuz you and me didn't have to do them.

[D]

Hey, Phil, like that one? Yeah, Phil, like they like. Man, bro, you a funny dude. Dude, you funny, dude. Man, you good, dude. Man, you good, dude.

[B]

Pay the price, makes the wife happy. I didn't break my neck. Let's Go. My insurance ain't great here. Over to you, man, with your locks.

[D]

Yeah, you ready for some money makers? I told you this one earlier in the week, guys.

[B]

Ray, what do you got that no fault insurance.

[D]

I mean, the Seattle Seahawks are coming to the Nashville. Coming to Nashville.

[B]

They're here.

[D]

I don't know if they're here yet. They'll get here tomorrow. When do they fly? They probably fly today.

[B]

Well, play the Titans day of that's.

[D]

Hey, they play the Titans. They're like CD Lamb puking at the Hard Rock or the Red Rocks, wherever that. What casino they were at. They were seen puking that morning.

[B]

He was quote unquote late for curfew.

[D]

Him and. But he said, don't insult me. I wasn't puking. I know how to hold my liquor.

[B]

Him and Pickens had a great game.

[D]

Hey, they did just fine, man. When you're playing the Raiders, you can show up. Hung his balls. I mean, Gerald Muriel. We haven't heard from that guy all year. And batter's box, I remember at the beginning of the year, batter's box was, oh my God. The easiest bet of the season is the Raiders over seven and a half wins or whatever. Six and a half. And I was like, whoa, oh my God, they're going to be so much better than they were. They're so good. Talked to him yesterday. I said, hey, you kind of glad we didn't bet the house on the Raiders over. He was like, oh my gosh. Yeah, not a very good one. Not a very good idea.

[B]

What's it looking like?

[D]

How many wins they have? Like two wins.

[B]

What do you think? For the whole year?

[D]

Oh, God, not very many. They suck, dude.

[B]

I was thinking maybe something like 67.

[D]

Cop, my ass. You.

[B]

I was hoping you'd say it. I don't know, maybe six, seven.

[D]

Oh my gosh. Anyway, man. Anyway, I did go eat a Thanksgiving lunch with Baby Box 2 yesterday. Let me tell you, that cafeteria food, it ain't good down.

[B]

I mean like bitcoin stock. I.

[D]

It's been a while since I've had that cafeteria food in school. When I was in elementary school, I thought it was so good.

[B]

Well, it depends. When I moved to Michigan, they did a la carte and you can get pizza and this stuff in Wyoming. It wasn't good, but Michigan was top notch.

[D]

Well, yesterday they had like a Thanksgiving theme, so they had turkey and stuffing and cranberry and the turkey was just very salty, a lot of salt on it. They had some green beans. Green beans were Good. Sweet potatoes weren't bad. They had a roll. And I got a little carton of chocolate milk. Like you did back when you're in school, man. Took me back. It was really just really neat to put the tray down, except for they have Styrofoam trays now instead of the. Maybe that's just a special occasion because they were having so many people yesterday with the parents coming, but. And you put it on that little gray shelf and you just go along and you point to what you want, man. It took me back to elementary school food in Wyoming.

[B]

This. All school food in Wyoming, bad. Michigan, amazing. Chicago, My private Christian school. First year of college, bad. Oh, Texas State. Good.

[D]

Oh.

[B]

And then that was it.

[D]

And I graduated. Yeah, we didn't really have any food options at utsa, man, there wasn't much there.

[B]

This Texas State dude, I just thought of it the other day. He would make noodles with pepperoni. Put whatever he wanted in the noodles. Me and south beach would go get that every day. Chef back there, sous chef, and he would just chop it up for free. We'd hit him up twice for the noodle dish. He put green peppers, pasta sauce, pepperoni that slapped. I would go back there today just for that, huh? Yeah, man.

[D]

I wonder what he's doing now.

[B]

But anyway, I don't know if he ever got out. Well, that's the thing. It was sad because a lot of the. Well, the chefs and the maintenance staff people that work there, they weren't.

[D]

Oh, he actually worked there. I thought it was just your buddy that was the. Like, you called him the chef because he cooked.

[B]

No, no, no. Not. It's different term of cooking. He was literally cooking. And we got out. We were only there four years. Those people were there for life.

[D]

That's tough.

[B]

All right, man. We'll give your locks, man.

[D]

All right, Seattle, they're coming to. They're coming to Nashville. And let me tell you, I don't know if the Titans will get more than 12 yards of offense. The Titans are so bad.

[B]

Cam Ward thought he was going to be better.

[D]

And the Seattle Seahawks defense is unbelievable.

[B]

And I was kidding, guys, on the Facebook about me putting away the Titans. Announcer. He's coming back on Monday. I love that guy. I was just joking.

[D]

I got sad.

[B]

Yeah, he's coming back. I will go for a honeydew on Sunday just to hear him.

[D]

I mean, here, all you're going to hear is this. And Seattle scores again. Jim, this is a rough one. Like when we. It's a rough one. Like when we stormed the beaches and you know they dropped, they dropped those bullets on us in the war. We came to war unprepared like the Titans did today. We'll be back after this. I mean it's gonna be an, it's gonna be a massacre.

[B]

It's a wild battle today, Titans and Seahawks. We'll be back in Nashville. It's a wet one.

[D]

See ya. Be my back. And look, I'm just telling you 13 and a half points is nothing. The Titans aren't going to get 13 and a half yards. It's going to be so ugly throwing.

[B]

To a conquo and J. Spears in the slot.

[D]

Who are they going to throw to? How are they going to run the ball? Cam Ward is going to get sacked 12 times. I mean the Seattle defense is going to eat and it doesn't matter if they. Smith, Sam Darnold is down at Jason Aldean's all night on Saturday night. They're going to crush them. Minus 13 and a half or 12 and a half. I don't know what you have in your, your app. Give me the Seahawks. I told you -12 and a half on Monday. I'm telling you -13 and a half today. Take them both. It doesn't matter. Blowed out city. Take it to the bank. And guys, I don't know, Lamar Jackson kind of hobbled. He hadn't looked too good. The New York jets are turning to Tyrod Taylor, the number one journeyman. Do the Ravens really care about blowing them out? No, they do not. They do not care about that. They just want to win the game, keep Lamar healthy. Lamar is not going to run the ball much. They'll just hand it to Henry. Hand it to Henry. Hand it to Henry. Give me the jets plus 13 and a half. Take it to the bank. And then one. I just explained it to me, Ray. The Atlanta Falcons are going down to New Orleans and I know that it's Kirk Cousins. He's old, he can't move, he sucks. And I know I say don't ever trust the Falcons. The Falcons will let you down every time. How are the Falcons underdogs against New Orleans? New Orleans sucks. Give me the Falcons plus two and a half. Take it to the bank. That's it man, that's it.

[B]

No college locks.

[D]

The only one I liked in college was Oklahoma at home against Missouri. I don't know if Missouri still on their third string quarterback or if their second stringers back. It doesn't matter. Oklahoma minus six and a half. That D is so legit Missouri ain't gonna get more than 13 and a half yards. Give me Oklahoma minus six and a half. Take it to the bank.

[B]

Yeah. Pribula, questionable game time decision.

[D]

Really?

[B]

Yeah.

[D]

Okay, he's.

[B]

He's trending towards playing. But he like broke his ankle. But he's playing.

[D]

No, no, that's the first stringer pribula. They had a second stringer that got hurt. They were on their third string when they went to A M tribula or A M went there. I don't know.

[B]

We saw pribula get snapped off.

[D]

Oh man, that was bad.

[B]

And they said he never broke it. It was just a fracture. He's going to play with one leg.

[D]

Wow, that is inspirational stuff there.

[B]

And college football note may go to the Vandy Kentucky game on Saturday.

[D]

Is it here?

[B]

Yeah. Bazer is wreath making. You can get in for $49. Why would I not see a CFP team?

[D]

What time's that game at?

[B]

2:30.

[D]

Hey man, holler at your boy.

[B]

Why would I not see a team that's going to be in the college football playoff?

[D]

Why would you not holler at me?

[B]

Let's go.

[D]

Justin.

[B]

Going, trying to get him to go. He said his family's in town.

[D]

He doesn't even like his family.

[B]

Well, I told him I go. Oh yeah, I forgot. Commodore stadium doesn't have family seating. My bad. Like.

[D]

Oh man, that's bad. Have a good weekend guys. We're out of here. That was action packed. And hey, our buddy that emailed about Vegas. We will get to your email next week. I didn't forget about you. We're going to tell you what to do in Vegas next week. Guys. He's going to Vegas for the first time. Email us. We are the sore [e-mail] with suggestions on things he should do.
