Introduction

In this engaging episode of The Bobby Bones Show, titled “SORE LOSERS: Who Knew Eggs Were So Funny?”, hosts Lunchbox and Raymundo delve into a weekend filled with unexpected mishaps, heartfelt moments, and a surprising abundance of egg-related humor. Skipping the usual advertisements and promos, the duo offers listeners a candid and humorous take on personal challenges and social gatherings.

Podcasting Equipment and Streamers

Early in the conversation, Lunchbox and Raymundo humorously critique their podcasting setup. Lunchbox remarks, “You have to notify me that you're streaming because you're at the mall. All of a sudden you're part of some streamer thing” ([02:00]).

Raymundo counters, emphasizing the rise of live streaming among younger generations: “Don’t know what you’re referring to. There are middle schoolers right now that have access to podcasting equipment” ([02:24]).

Their banter highlights the generational gap in technology usage and sets a lighthearted tone for the episode.

Lunchbox’s Foot Injury and Surgery

The core of the episode revolves around Lunchbox's unfortunate foot injury and subsequent surgery. Lunchbox begins by sharing his ordeal: “I had called out for help on air... what is wrong with my foot?” ([08:02]).

He recounts an email from Brandi Martinez, a nurse, advising him to rest and use ice on his injury: “Use a compression sock or wrap” ([09:01]).

The conversation takes a humorous turn as Lunchbox describes his hospital experience, including multiple egg references by the medical staff:

• Nurse: “Do you have any eggs this morning?” ([10:37])
• Doctor: “So those eggs yesterday, were they over easy or scrambled?” ([12:26])

Lunchbox jokes about the repetitive mentions of eggs: “...it was eight or nine egg references” ([17:16]).

Despite the lighthearted exchanges, Lunchbox emphasizes the success of the surgery: “The surgery was an absolute smashing success” ([22:10]).

Weekend Activities and Coping

Following his surgery, Lunchbox and Raymundo discuss coping mechanisms for grief, particularly the loss of Raymundo’s dog. Raymundo shares, “We buried his dog in the yard” ([26:15]), highlighting the emotional support between friends.

They illustrate how golfing served as a distraction and a way to bond amidst their grief: “We went golfing. We did nine... I was up five to nothing. I’d put him to sleep” ([29:16]).

The conversation underscores the importance of camaraderie and finding solace in shared activities during tough times.

Party Bus and Wine Tasting Misadventure

A significant portion of the episode focuses on a planned outing involving a party bus for a wine tasting event. Lunchbox details the meticulous planning: “We had the party bus rented. Everything’s lined up” ([43:14]).

However, unforeseen circumstances derail their plans when the babysitter cancels: “We called five different babysitters, and none can make it” ([46:13]). Lunchbox's wife suggests he stay home due to his recent surgery, leading to a humorous yet disappointing outcome.

Despite the setback, the group remains spirited, with other families still attending the event, leading to a series of amusing interactions:

• A neighbor: “Here, open up” while pouring Prosecco ([48:31])
• Lunchbox: “I don’t do glass. Never” ([48:37])

The episode captures the chaotic yet humorous nature of social gatherings among friends, especially when plans go awry.

Birthday Text Thread Drama

Adding to the weekend's complexities, Raymundo introduces birthday text thread drama. Miscommunications about whose birthday is being celebrated lead to playful ribbing and confusion:

• Lunchbox: “I thought it was about my birthday” ([32:18])
• Raymundo: “No, it was for my birthday all along” ([32:35])

This segment highlights the humorous misunderstandings that can occur within close-knit groups.

Conclusion

The episode concludes with Lunchbox and Raymundo reflecting on their eventful weekend. From hospital antics filled with egg jokes to thwarted party bus plans, the hosts maintain a humorous perspective on life's unpredictabilities. Their camaraderie and ability to find humor in mishaps provide listeners with both entertainment and relatability.

Notable Quotes:

• Lunchbox: “Use a compression sock or wrap” ([09:03])
• Doctor: “Those eggs yesterday, were they over easy or scrambled?” ([12:26])
• Lunchbox: “Never. Glass should never be anywhere” ([59:43])
• Raymundo: “We need veteran players and we need young players” ([23:46]) – Reflecting on building community ties during unexpected events.

This episode of The Bobby Bones Show masterfully blends personal anecdotes with humor, offering listeners a heartfelt and entertaining narrative of overcoming obstacles with laughter and friendship.

[Lunchbox]

Literally a kindergarten operation. That's what we are. We're a kindergarten operation.

[Raymundo]

Don't know what you're referring to.

[Lunchbox]

You trying to set up YouTube live. I mean, it probably hurts us more than it helps us when you just put it up and you have the camera on one of us, you have your iPhone propped up by your wallet. Like we look like freaking kindergartners. Like there are middle schoolers that have a better podcast like video equipment than what we do. I'm just telling you that right now, but that's okay.

[Raymundo]

Whoa. So you're going to say that and I don't think it's factually correct. There are middle schoolers right now that have access to podcasting equipment and they have a podcast that exists.

[Lunchbox]

They probably have a better camera than we do. Yes, 100%. They probably have a better setup, camera wise than we do.

[Raymundo]

Well, what you got to worry about with these kids now? They're all streaming. So that's if I'm in a public space. I get it. I'm in a public place. Ok, but the thing is you need to notify me that you're streaming because you're at. You're at the. You're at the mall. All of a sudden you're part of some streamer thing. We're streaming. Notify people. Listen, kid, you didn't. I didn't give you my damn permission to stream. Get that camera out of my face. It's not the old days where we take a picture. Now they're streaming, everything's live.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, and I just noticed that like I look at like Morgan's, you know, feeling personally feelings hurt.

[Raymundo]

No, Morgan's is, uh, I'm personal. Amy's is feeling yourself.

[Lunchbox]

Well, their cameras are freaking phenomenal.

[Raymundo]

Well, they paid a thousand dollars.

[Lunchbox]

They did?

[Raymundo]

Yeah. Those are those high tech cameras that Eddie used to have.

[Lunchbox]

I'm pretty sure they just. I thought they just used their phone.

[Raymundo]

Hell no.

[Lunchbox]

So you're telling me Morgan uses a nice camera, not her phone.

[Raymundo]

Thousand dollar camera.

[Lunchbox]

I'm gonna text her and I'm gonna find out the answer.

[Raymundo]

So until you give up $1,000 like that, Ray, you're going to have to come. Pride from my cold dead ends.

[Lunchbox]

A good meet the parents reference.

[Raymundo]

So yeah, there. There ain't no camera in any world or any universe that you're going to pay $1,000 for and be cool with. Can you imagine it? You get mad at me using my own phone, using my own stuff, spending no money. If I had one of those cameras. Ray, Ray, Ray is ever. Are you good with that camera? Okay, cool. Is the tripod secured? Okay, good. Careful with. We paid $1,000 for that camera. You imagine us down on Broadway with drunk people, thousand dollar camera.

[Lunchbox]

No, because we don't even do it with your phone, so why would we do it with your camera?

[Raymundo]

Yeah, we are after the break. MLB has their all star break. We had our all star break. Fourth of July. Let's go. We're doing all video now. We'll do more video than audio. We'll have more content video than we will audio in the second half. And you can guarantee it, Jack.

[Lunchbox]

Well, I mean, we don't have Good audio content. So what are we going to do? Video wise? We got to have good video content. We're not going to do both. I mean, hey, here's some crappy video content to go along with our crappy audio content. Great podcast, guys.

[Raymundo]

Have you seen what those streamers do?

[Lunchbox]

No, I don't watch any of that crap.

[Raymundo]

It's on X. It just pops up and I see clips of it. They set off fireworks in other streamers, houses, and it ends up being a great stream. But, I mean, you risk blowing up their house, you risk catching it on fire. The guy snuck into the other streamers. All these streamers have mansions. So it'd be like, I'm streaming. Who's a streamer? We're in at war with now, Pat McAfee. We're challenging that.

[Lunchbox]

No, he's a. I don't consider him a streamer.

[Raymundo]

He's not a streamer.

[Lunchbox]

So Kaisent.

[Raymundo]

Yes. So it would be like you, me.

[Lunchbox]

Going, what does he do?

[Raymundo]

I think they just stream.

[Lunchbox]

But what is he streaming them?

[Raymundo]

Just sitting on a La Z boy. And so we would go into these streamers house with fireworks and set them off and then. But we stream it.

[Lunchbox]

Okay, I have no idea. I'm not gonna do that because I don't have enough money to pay for someone's house.

[Raymundo]

But. But we're at the point now. Somebody comes up, they start interviewing, Wait a second. You streaming? Notify me you're streaming before we're doing this. You're in public, you know, your kid's got his phone out in your face. Are we streaming?

[Lunchbox]

Get back.

[Raymundo]

You know it. Not back in the day. They're always live. Bathroom. You're in there draining your lizard. Kids streaming, probably. What about that guy that you just ran into when we were coming out of the bathroom? Was he streaming? Who knows? He had his phone out.

[Lunchbox]

No, he just got a phone call because he stepped back out and he goes, sorry, I just walked in the bathroom.

[Raymundo]

Was he streaming?

[Lunchbox]

He was gonna try to stream, but he had to. He got interrupted pre stream because the phone call. But my question is, when he answered the phone, why did he say, oh, sorry, I was just stepping in the bathroom. All you had to do is say hello.

[Raymundo]

Well, they don't know you guys. Almost went mouth to mouth. And then as I'm going out of the door, he was still in the doorway.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, he thought it was going to be a quick phone call, obviously.

[Raymundo]

Okay.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, we better start the show, man, because we got so much to get to. I don't know what you did this weekend, but I saw you and Justin basically making out on the back porch.

[Raymundo]

We took it pretty deep.

[Lunchbox]

Can't wait to hear about it.

[Raymundo]

Well, half of it's sad, but yeah. Oh, but then there's also an update in the birthday text thread drama. It's huge.

[Lunchbox]

Can't wait.

[Raymundo]

Ray, don't get political. Huge.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, I see what you mean. I was like, political. How is that political? Got it.

[Raymundo]

They all got their sayings now. All right, we're gonna do it live. We are the 1, 2, 3, soar, loser.

[Lunchbox]

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

[Dr. Joy Hardin Bradford]

All.

[Raymundo]

It's Citizen Raymundo. I'm from the north. I'm an alpha male. I live on the north side in Nashville with my wife, Bazer. In the country, you have 2.2 acres, no corn. A lot of the farmers and ranchers around us do, but we don't. 2.2 acres at Vanderbilt electrophysiology unit. Justin should be checking on them regularly. I'll have to see if they're doing okay and then die of a heart attack when I'm 72. Over to you, man. Over to you.

[Lunchbox]

What day did Justin come over to your house on?

[Raymundo]

Wednesday? No, it was on Saturday.

[Lunchbox]

Okay, thank you. All right, then we'll get to that later. Well, we'll get to my whole. I want to get to my weekend because it started off with Friday, man. You know, the big surgery was planned, and I had called out for help on air. You know, Brandi Martinez. She's like the nurse of all the people. Sore losers nation. And I said, brandi, what is wrong with my foot? This is her email. Lunch's busted. Yam, sorry to hear about your pickle incident that resulted in your foot injury. I'm happy to give you some advice. Keep in mind, I'm only a nurse. You may want to verify with Justin, the new nurse practitioner, if you're discharging you from the ER. I'd say the first 10 days will be terrible. You repeatedly walking on it when it's healing. You may want to skip rec soccer, so you're going to be sore, and I hope the green team can survive without you. B, elevate as much as possible. Bonus points if getting it above your heart. C, use ice on it a few times a day for 20 minutes. Use a soccer towel between the foot and the ice.

[Raymundo]

Oh, I got a couple Old socks.

[Lunchbox]

I use c. Use a compression sock or wrap. And then she said, BAE sustained a similar injury at Rosanna Glass bachelorette party when she was doing a line dance on an old dock and got a massive splinter in her foot.

[Raymundo]

Different bae.

[Lunchbox]

My methods were maybe a little rough, but she survived and did not need a trip to the not so urgent care. You may want to ask her how long it took to heal. Best of luck, Brandi.

[Raymundo]

That was a nice email. Thank you, Brandy. He probably took none of it to heart. And he played in his soccer game, and he didn't get a wrap. Get a compression wrap because Baser uses one on the airplane, and those things work.

[Lunchbox]

No, I did not go to my soccer game. I skipped the soccer game after going to the podiatrist and asking their opinion. They took an X ray, said the Glass was still in there. So surgery was scheduled for Thursday. I was not going to chance it on Wednesday night playing soccer. And you heard about my drama about eating and so not being able to do the surgery Thursday. So Friday, I mean, I did not drink a sip of water. I didn't eat a lick of food, and my report time to the clinic was 1pm did you smoke? I did not smoke, and I did not vape. They asked me both those questions when they were filling out my paperwork.

[Raymundo]

Is that htc, sir, or cdc?

[Lunchbox]

They asked me, oh, you know, who's the party that's here with you that's gonna, you know, drove you here, is gonna drive you home? I was like, my wife. And they're like, she's in the lobby, right? And I'm like, oh, yeah, no problem. My wife was not in the lobby. She dropped me off because she was not gonna sit there with three kids. She was gonna wait for the phone call, then drive back up there and get me.

[Raymundo]

They're not gonna just send you out on the streets on meds, right?

[Lunchbox]

They're gonna wait till she. Oh, sorry. I was just out of the car or something like that. So I get there, and I check in, and the receptionist like, oh, do you have any eggs this morning?

[Raymundo]

Oh, she knows you from the show?

[Lunchbox]

No, no, no. Oh, I guess it was all the talk in the office. I was like, no. She goes, okay, well, welcome back. Give me your right wrist. Gives me a wristband. And they call me back, and I get in there, and the nurse is like, oh, you need to use the restroom? And I'm like, oh, yeah. And she goes, it's right down here. Oh, you were here yesterday because you decided to Eat eggs. So you probably know where it is, right?

[Raymundo]

And let me ask this. Do they use real talk? Do they use your real name, your radio name, or Gibbles real name? See, I don't like that. There needs to be some anonymity.

[Lunchbox]

I understand. But. So obviously there had been talk about me and my egg situation, because we are two for two on people making egg jokes.

[Raymundo]

But also they. It's like a bit. They just. That's their running joke around there.

[Lunchbox]

I think they're just kind of making conversation, maybe. And so this nurse wasn't the nurse that I had the day before. I don't even recognize her. So whoever was the nurse day before had probably told her, hey, this guy had to come in. We had to fit him in because he had eggs yesterday morning. So she asked me about the eggs. I'm like, oh, no. Yeah, I know where the bathroom is. I go. And I come back and they put me in a bed. And she's like, all right. And I put my sweatshirt on because it's kind of cold. And she goes, okay, so here's that robe. Just put that on. And you can leave your underwear on. Okay, cool. So I brought a sweatshirt for nothing. I get all dressed up, and then she comes back in. She asked me a couple questions. She goes, okay, doctor's gonna be by a little bit, and then we'll get you started. I'm like, all right. So I'm sitting there, and here comes a doc. And he comes in. He's like, how's it going today? And I was like, good. And he goes, so those eggs yesterday, were they over easy or scrambled?

[Raymundo]

What?

[Lunchbox]

Okay, they were definitely scrambled.

[Raymundo]

And he goes, farmers organic.

[Lunchbox]

And he goes, so it was on the menu this morning. And I was like, I didn't even take a chance. I didn't have anything. And he goes, that's what we like to hear.

[Raymundo]

Funny bit, guys.

[Lunchbox]

And he marks.

[Raymundo]

That's what happens when you medical professionals trying to do the bits. Let the radio guys do those.

[Lunchbox]

So he marks my foot. He goes, man, it's going to be simple, in and out. I'm like, yeah, kind of really ridiculous. I'm having surgery for Glass. He goes, I will be honest. This will be the easiest surgery I have today. I'm like, all right, cool. Glad I'm the easy case. Cool. You know, all right. He leaves. Then the anesthesiologist comes, and he goes, all right. You know, have you ever had surgery before? I said, oh, I've had my tonsils done. He goes, did you have any problem with anesthesiology? I was like, no.

[Raymundo]

Are you guys, like, hitting it off? Like, is he cool?

[Lunchbox]

Oh, he was a nice guy.

[Raymundo]

What's up? What's up, bro? Yeah, what's up, bro? Yeah, how's it going, bro? I mean, he just give, like, daps when he comes up because he's about to service you with drugs.

[Lunchbox]

He's just telling me what's going on. He's like, there's a little tube in your mouth. It's not going to be. You're not going to be incubated. It'll just be sitting in your mouth. You won't even know it's there. You may dry, wake up with a little dry throat. No big deal.

[Raymundo]

Wouldn't be my first time.

[Lunchbox]

And he goes, but it doesn't come with eggs. I'm like, okay, this is the fourth.

[Raymundo]

Reference to this reference. It's not even funny.

[Lunchbox]

And I'm like, all right, cool. Thank you. All right. And he's like, all right, man, we'll see you in there. And I'm all right. And then the two nurses come over. Two different nurses. And like this. I'm going to be the one wheel. We're going to be the ones that will you back and all this. And they have a syringe with them, and they start to put it in my iv. And I guess it's a medicine that's going to make me feel kind of loopy. And I was like, oh, this is. You know, my kid would love to be here. He just got his tonsils out. And he was like, this medicine makes me floppy.

[Raymundo]

What's it called?

[Lunchbox]

I don't know.

[Raymundo]

And you just put stuff in your body. Don't even ask the name of it, right?

[Lunchbox]

I don't care. If I asked the name, I wouldn't be able to tell you the name because it's a scientific name that I don't know.

[Raymundo]

Got it.

[Lunchbox]

And they said, oh, that's a good way to think of it. Loopy or floppy? And I was like, yeah, that's what he said. Floppy. They said, yeah, but don't worry, it won't taste like eggs.

[Raymundo]

Fifth time.

[Lunchbox]

I'm like, okay, okay, got it. And so they start wheeling me down the hall. They press the buttons. We go through the double doors.

[Raymundo]

The fact that they've referenced it five times just tells me there's not a lot of personality in a hospital. They really do talking and really in a very long, big words. And there's really just not much personality. It's sad. Actually.

[Lunchbox]

And they push the little button to automatic open the doors. We go through those doors. Next thing I know, they're waking me up. It was over. Like, I don't. I never. I didn't get to. I don't remember getting to the room. Like, I never. Like, my. The medicine kicked in so fast. I didn't even make it to which room they were going to do surgery and didn't see the doctor. And the guy's waking me up. He's like, hey. Hey, how you doing, man? You want. You want some water?

[Raymundo]

What was he slapping?

[Lunchbox]

He was hitting my knee in the bottom of my foot, too.

[Raymundo]

To get you awake?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Raymundo]

Kind of like they do when the guys are on skid row.

[Lunchbox]

Correct. And I was like, oh, man.

[Raymundo]

Dude, you did freaking drugs this weekend.

[Lunchbox]

I did. And he was like. He was like, man, we're already out. You know what I mean? He was like, we just talked to your wife. She should be back here. They're bringing your wife and back.

[Raymundo]

How did he have your wife's number?

[Lunchbox]

I put it on the sheet on, who's gonna take me home?

[Raymundo]

Ray from College, Friday night, 6th Street.

[Lunchbox]

And so I guess they called her. And he was like, yeah. I was like, so how was the glass? He goes, I was a pretty good sized piece of glass. He goes, we didn't find any eggs, though.

[Raymundo]

Seventh reference.

[Lunchbox]

I'm like, okay, all right, I got it, guys. I didn't eat any eggs. He's like, would you like some water? And I'm like, yeah. I sip some water. And he's like, everything went well, man. And he has my foot all wrapped up, it's all bandaged. And here come the kids, and they want to climb up in the bed. And I'm like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

[Raymundo]

Are you in a cast?

[Lunchbox]

Oh, dude, you didn't see. No. Let me show you. This is how I look. Dude. This is me after the surgery. Bam.

[Raymundo]

Well, you get all because of a piece of.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, look at my foot, dude. Look at my foot. All wrapped and bandage.

[Raymundo]

Can we do that for the.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. Yes, we can, Ray.

[Raymundo]

It's inside of a hospital. I didn't get legal permission, and so.

[Lunchbox]

Then the boys wheel me out.

[Raymundo]

Dude, that's good.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, they were real good. Helpful. They did start fighting over my hair net, so the nurse had to bring two extra hair nets so they could all wear them. That was a big deal. And they prescribed me some oxy. And I was like, I don't need oxy, guys. Like, I'm good. Like. And they're like, just take Tylenol tonight. You're going to be really sore. And I will say, as I was leaving, they were like, now you're free to have some eggs. They let me know that eggs were able to be eaten now that I was leaving. So I don't know if you had the tally, but it was eight or nine egg references.

[Raymundo]

Nothing like egg humor.

[Lunchbox]

But I do want to say that I don't know if I was over the line, but there was a point at the hospital when they're telling me, like, before, there's curtains in between each bed. Okay, what are you here for? And I'm like, I'm here. They're going to take glass out of my foot. And I hear him next door. Lady next to me is getting her gallbladder out hot. And then two down. She said, oh, yeah, I'm here. I'm going to get a breast reduction.

[Raymundo]

At the same spot.

[Lunchbox]

Same spot.

[Raymundo]

Usually that's at clinics.

[Lunchbox]

And the nurse was like, oh, just one or both? And she's like, both that look a little weird. And he goes. And he goes, yeah. And he goes. She goes, yeah. So we're reducing both boobs. And I said, boo.

[Raymundo]

I'd love to give my input.

[Lunchbox]

I did a little boo and no one laughed. And I thought, oh, man, that's not funny. So then I shut up. I didn't make any.

[Raymundo]

So within bed sheets of distance away from each other, there was a gallbladder and a recently performed boob job.

[Lunchbox]

No, it was about to happen because before you go in, this was. I forgot when they were. They ask you what you're going you're there for to make sure that they are doing the right thing. And that's when I said the glass. The one next to me said gallbladder. The one two down said breast reduction. And I did a little bit of a boo. And there was no laughter from the audience. And I was like, oh, they're more into egg jokes, I guess.

[Raymundo]

What if you would have hit them with reduction?

[Lunchbox]

A penile implant. And they said, you may be a little sore. They wheeled me out to the car and they're going to want to take Tylenol and Ray. I stepped down on my foot to get into the car. Tylenol. I've never felt so good in my life. There is no Tylenol needed for my foot, man.

[Raymundo]

The oxy, though. You still want to get the OxyContin. You never know down the road when you are going to need it.

[Lunchbox]

I was walking around that house, you Got a problem?

[Raymundo]

You trying to get my pills from me?

[Lunchbox]

I was walking around the house like there was no surgery that had been had. Walking around $20 with glass and the bottom of your foot is absolutely miserable.

[Raymundo]

One of my buddies. Oh, sorry, sorry.

[Lunchbox]

Go ahead.

[Raymundo]

One of my buddies had a problem, and you'd come home from the hospital and he'd be ready to buy the stuff from you. What was the purple drink stuff? He always wanted some of that. And then he always wanted the. Oh, I think he's recovered and he's good now.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, good. That's what we like to hear.

[Raymundo]

He was always curious when you were coming home, man. You've never been such a great friend, dude, thank you so much for caring about me. Then you realize it was because you're coming home with a pack of pills.

[Lunchbox]

Dude, I was in such a good mood. I got home and I got gathered the boys on the couch. I was like, guys, let's watch a movie. Let's watch a movie. You know what I mean? I'm in such a good mood.

[Raymundo]

This is a funny movie, dad. It's still the previews.

[Lunchbox]

Inside joke, 20 minutes in, they're like, dad, dad, you're falling asleep.

[Raymundo]

Dad, the commercials have started. It's onto the movie.

[Lunchbox]

And I'm like, oh, sorry, sorry. And I'd fall kind of wake back up, and I'd be falling asleep. Dad, dad, your eyes are closed. I realized the medicine hadn't worn off. So I was like, I'm gonna go lay down for a minute. My wife's like, okay, yeah, go lay down for a minute.

[Raymundo]

I shouldn't be around the kids like this.

[Lunchbox]

And next thing I knew, they were all in the room like, dad, dad, we brought you some ice cream. I'm like, all right, well, you guys went to get ice cream. I was like, well, aren't we gonna have dinner first?

[Raymundo]

I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream. So who are you kids?

[Lunchbox]

Aren't we gonna have dinner first?

[Raymundo]

And, like, we're your children, dad. Dad.

[Lunchbox]

Who are you guys?

[Raymundo]

Did you recognize your wife?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, I did. And they said, dad, we went out to dinner. You were asleep. They went to dinner, went and got ice cream. And I had no idea.

[Raymundo]

See, that's why you shouldn't do drugs, kids.

[Lunchbox]

No, no, I didn't do drugs. That was.

[Raymundo]

You were all drugged out.

[Lunchbox]

That was from the anesthesia.

[Raymundo]

You did anesthesia skag.

[Lunchbox]

And I was like, whoa, that was.

[Raymundo]

Like one tenth of the adahusha that Rogers did.

[Lunchbox]

Had no idea you seeing frogs and shit. I don't know. I don't remember.

[Raymundo]

It is wild how much you fall asleep, because when Baser would take it for some of her procedures, she would not even be able to text a sentence. And she'd fall asleep with her phone in her hand.

[Lunchbox]

Boom.

[Raymundo]

And I was like, hey, just put the cell phone down. That text doesn't even need to be sent. And then she'd fall. Nod off. The movie thing should get one scene in. Nods off. I'm like, okay, don't even worry about the movie. We're going to go black screen, black room. Nothing's going to happen. Fall asleep. Because as. As ambitious, motivated, amazing Americans, we still want to live our normal life. Just let the meds wear off. Let yourself heal.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. Let yourself get the sleep you need. Like, don't try to fight it. Don't try to watch movies with your kids, because then they keep shaking you and waking you up. And guess what? That does just annoys you and it irritates you.

[Raymundo]

Dude, you go in the backyard to play soccer, and you fall asleep in the backyard in your nightgown.

[Lunchbox]

Is bad.

[Raymundo]

Dad's on drugs.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. So the surgery was an absolute smashing success. I was bandaged up, but I'll tell you about the rest of the weekend right after this.

[Raymundo]

They see that all the time on Broadway. Dude, he saw that already ten times that day.

[Lunchbox]

What?

[Raymundo]

Glass in the foot. You know how many strippers go in there on a Friday? Come on.

[Lunchbox]

That's probably true. I didn't even think about that.

[Raymundo]

Class of the foot. That's rudimentary.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. We'll really take a break. We'll be right back.

[Dr. Joy Hardin Bradford]

I'm Dr. Joy Hardin Bradford, and in session 421 of Therapy for Black Girls, I sit down with Dr. Afia and Billy Shaka to explore how our hair connects to our identity, mental health, and the ways we heal.

[Janae AKA Cheekies]

Guys, I think hair is a complex language system, Right. In terms of it can tell how old you are, your marital status, where you're from, your spiritual beliefs. But I think with social media, there's like a hyper fixation and observation of our hair.

[Lunchbox]

Right.

[Janae AKA Cheekies]

That this is sometimes the first thing someone sees when we make a post or a reel. It's how our hair is styled.

[Dr. Joy Hardin Bradford]

We talk about the important role hairstylists play in our communities, the pressure to always look put together, and how breaking up with perfection can actually free us. Plus, if you're someone who gets anxious about flying, don't miss session 418 with Dr. Angela Neal Barnett, where we dive into Managing flight anxiety.

Check out behind the Flow, a podcast documentary series following the launch of San Diego Football Club. We go behind the scenes and explore the stories of those involved.

[Unnamed Speaker]

San Diego coming to MLS is going to be a game changer because this region has been hungry for a men's professional soccer team.

[Raymundo]

We need veteran players and we need young players. Like, you're building a team from scratch. And so the succession plan of long term success needs to be defined. We need to embrace this community.

[Unnamed Speaker]

When I was 13, my uncle took me to a qualifier and we watched Paraguay against Cheetah, the pouring rain. Just watching the fans jumping up and down, I think that was definitely a watershed moment for me. Not only was that going to be my game, but it was going to be my life.

[Danielle Robaix]

Hi, everyone, it's Janae AKA Cheekies from Cheekies and Chill Podcast. And I'm launching an all new mini podcast series called Sincerely Janae. Sure, I'm a singer, author, businesswoman, and podcaster, but at the end of the day, I am human. And that's why I'm sharing my ups and downs with you guys. Hi, guys. I was sitting here recording episodes of Dear Cheekies and Cheekies and Chill, and I just had to take a timeout and purge my thoughts and feelings here on Sincerely Jana because I've been so emotional lately, you guys. Whether I'm in my feels, I've just had a breakthrough with my therapist, or I've just had a really deep conversation with my siblings, or I'm in glam getting ready for an award show. I'm sharing my most intimate thoughts with you on the podcast. You guys know I always keep it real with you guys, but this time I'm taking it to the next level. Listen to Cheekies and chill on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcasts.

[Lunchbox]

Saturday, what time does Justin come to your house?

[Raymundo]

Well, I mean, that's the sad part, man. I don't think we want to get into it, man.

[Lunchbox]

Okay.

[Raymundo]

His dog passed away and so we buried his dog in the yard.

[Lunchbox]

Oh.

[Raymundo]

So I didn't know that was gonna be a bit. But you just went in real hot and hard.

[Lunchbox]

No, no, all you gotta do is tell me what time.

[Raymundo]

He came early because we were. We were doing that and so we started the drinking at about 10am because it's emotional.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, man. Yeah, that's bad. Okay, now I feel bad.

[Raymundo]

Yeah. So by 11:00am I was six feet deep. Six beers deep. Man.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, man. How old was his dog, Man, Time to go. Oh, man. I didn't even know, man. I would have texted him.

[Raymundo]

And he didn't want to do the cremation thing. He wanted. He really did always want to do the. That route, the grave route. He didn't have a plot, though. He lived in an apartment. And I said, hey, we have a part of our yard that we're never going to develop. Put him there.

[Lunchbox]

What if you guys end up not being friends in six months? Does you come and dig them up?

[Raymundo]

I mean, I think we'd always probably be friends.

[Lunchbox]

I hope so.

[Raymundo]

I think that's a safe assumption.

[Lunchbox]

I mean, not always. I mean, friendships ends. Friendships come and go.

[Raymundo]

Right. But I think we'll honestly own this house forever.

[Lunchbox]

Okay.

[Raymundo]

Unless we lose our jobs and have to foreclose. And then. Yeah, then we wouldn't. Then the next guy will have just a gravestone, out of sight.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. Okay. So that. So did he, like, call you Saturday morning? Be like, hey.

[Raymundo]

No, we had planned it. We knew it. And so the person came over, administered the shots. Same shots you got, the dog got. Oh, and then we put him six feet under, man.

[Lunchbox]

See, I didn't know we were going there, man. Yeah, That's a terrible feeling. That's terrible, dude.

[Raymundo]

And then Justin, he was drinking, like, a little bit.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, because how old was the dog?

[Raymundo]

12.

[Lunchbox]

See, he's been a part of Justin's life. He went from Boston to here.

[Raymundo]

And we told Justin. Justin was hitting it pretty hard. And we said, hey, dude, you and your dog can't die the exact same day. Calm it down, dude. Don't need to put down 20 beers.

[Lunchbox]

You really told him that?

[Raymundo]

Yeah, we were making jokes like that.

[Lunchbox]

That's funny. That's funny.

[Raymundo]

But Templeton had a good life. It was a good shift, as the hockey announcers were.

[Lunchbox]

Would say. Or good shift, as the hospital workers would say. They just got off their shift. They're on the night. First shift and overnight shift.

[Raymundo]

But, yeah, we started early. And so then we went golfing. We did nine. Baser picked us up, dropped us off. Nine and nine dominated him. I. I mean, I hate to use it. It's like whenever somebody. You ever have somebody near you or close to you die, dude, it's the worst because you can't ever reference death or anything. I was like, well, I killed him at golf. Dude, you can't do any of that. I was like, man, I buried you, dude. Man, I freaking murder. That ball. It's. It's. Same thing happened with the other neighbor, her husband.

[Lunchbox]

Hey, that ball's gone, dude. Just like, oh, no. Can't say that, dude.

[Raymundo]

The. Our neighbors. This is a year ago, but our other neighbor's husband passed away tragically. And so I'll go over there sometimes to help her. She's an older lady, and Craigslist guys were coming over, and I go, hey, I'm over here to make sure neither of us get murdered.

[Lunchbox]

You can't do that.

[Raymundo]

And then she goes, hey, I saw you running the other day. Was it hot? I go, yeah, I was about to die. I'm telling you, dude, I can't avoid it.

[Lunchbox]

It's amazing. You don't realize how many, like, dying and death and, oh, it's over. References you make in a day. Yeah, but you make a lot. Yeah. Because everything ties into that.

[Raymundo]

Yeah. And so then we saw that lady again in the middle of the road, and thank God, for the first time ever, I didn't make one reference to death.

[Lunchbox]

Good.

[Raymundo]

So. But yeah, so Justin partied. Golf dominated him through. We played skins, skag, skins through five holes. I was up five to nothing. It was already over. We only played nine. The most he could do was five. Four within five holes. I'd put him to sleep.

[Lunchbox]

So you, like, he. He was down in the dumps, and you put the dirt on top of him.

[Raymundo]

Yeah, yeah. And I said, well, and we decided to do the golf after. So you kind of get your mind off things.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, but every time the ball went in the hole, didn't it feel like the same thing as burying the dog?

[Raymundo]

No. Too soon. Too soon. Course was great out.

[Lunchbox]

Was it crowded?

[Raymundo]

No, it really wasn't.

[Lunchbox]

How emotionally was he able to play golf?

[Raymundo]

Tiger did it. Michael Jordan did it after his dad died. Tiger did it after he got divorced in the Perkins Waitress parking lot. You got to compartmentalize. That's what Tiger said. How could Tiger eat his fruit roll up or his lucky charms in the morning of a golf tournament after having an affair and his entire life falling apart? Compartmentalize, he said.

[Lunchbox]

And that's what Justin's good at.

[Raymundo]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

Okay. So then I saw there's a video of you guys, like, having a heart to heart on the porch, man.

[Raymundo]

So we had actually. We had said before Laura went inside because we'll wezer we go, hey, we should act like we almost made it to the major leagues, but just talk real and don't even tell Bazer. And so Justin goes, yeah, I was. I. He had played semi pro baseball. I mean, he played. What was it? It was college baseball, for sure. He played comparable to Division 2 baseball.

[Lunchbox]

Okay, where at?

[Raymundo]

I don't know.

[Lunchbox]

Good call.

[Raymundo]

Somewhere in. No, Michigan. It was Grand Valley State, I think.

[Lunchbox]

Okay.

[Raymundo]

Yeah. And so then he played on this other team that's considered semi pro.

[Lunchbox]

Got it.

[Raymundo]

And. But, I mean, that was years ago. And he goes, yeah, they want me to play for him. And we're always like, justin, have they seen you in the last two years?

[Lunchbox]

What do you mean?

[Raymundo]

We're like 40 years old. And he's like, yeah, this team wants me. What? You haven't even thrown a baseball.

[Lunchbox]

Okay.

[Raymundo]

So we said, when she comes out here, we should really lay it on thick that we almost both were played pro baseball. And so we did. Bazer then takes the video, which you could maybe play the audio.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, I saw it somewhere, and it.

[Raymundo]

Was of Justin saying that he had signed a minor league baseball contract, which he kind of did. And then me saying that I kind of played pro as well. But I just got. I just. I don't know. I. But we both was. Our angle.

[Lunchbox]

Got it? Yeah, got it. So tell me, like, the rest of.

[Raymundo]

The day, we were watching baseball. We had hitters going. Obviously, Justin. Justin's didn't get any hits. Mine didn't get any hits.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, my gosh. So the dog's dead. The streaks dead.

[Raymundo]

Yeah. Areas. He hasn't gotten a hit since the Clinton administration. Vlad Guerrero finally got a hit. Who's the. Oh, Goldschmidt. I mean, he's been complete. So the guys ain't getting hits, but we go to the all star break at a 2, trying to get to 57 for that 5.6 million. But, yeah, then we grilled. We did burgers, jalapeno burgers. We did brats. Didn't really love them. Never been a brat guy.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, brats are the best, dude.

[Raymundo]

And then we did pork missiles with the glizzies. So we were all set up with that. And it was just a day of grilling, chilling, fellowship, the memories of Templeton.

[Lunchbox]

Garcia, are you gonna update the text thread or not? What are we doing here?

[Raymundo]

Yeah, do you want it?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, no, we're just talking about you and Justin hanging out. And there was drama. He's the one that invited people to a golf tournament that wasn't even happening because the birthday boy couldn't even make It.

[Raymundo]

So he goes, hey, that text thread I sent you guys, you know how it said Ray and Dodd birthday, we're gonna go golfing?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. I wasn't supposed to be on it.

[Raymundo]

You were supposed to be on it.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, I thought that was gonna be the update.

[Raymundo]

He worded it with weird. The update is, apparently it's his birthday in a week and the whole point of the text thread is we're going to go golfing for his birthday. But since in America we're all vain. I thought it was about my birthday.

[Lunchbox]

I thought it was about my birthday.

[Raymundo]

He goes, no, you dumbass. It was for my birthday all along. That's why I gave you guys the dates of my birthday. It wasn't for your birthday. It wasn't for my birthday. It wasn't for Don's birthday. It was for his birthday. We made fun of him and thought it was all for our own birthdays.

[Lunchbox]

I was like, way to make plans for other people's birthday. And I didn't even think, oh my God, Justin and I share a birthday, so he should be. He could be talking about his birthday. That's hilarious.

[Raymundo]

Yeah, it's a pretty good update.

[Lunchbox]

That's a great update.

[Raymundo]

There you go, guys. Update was, Justin was not delusional and just totally out to see to pasture, but he did indeed have his own birthday that he was trying to plan for.

[Lunchbox]

It wasn't Dodds, it wasn't Ray's, it wasn't mine. It was miscommunication.

[Raymundo]

That's for you.

[Lunchbox]

Well, you wanna know about my Saturday, Ray?

[Raymundo]

Yeah, hit me.

[Lunchbox]

Oh my gosh, your Saturday looks so fun, man. You guys drinking some, you know, Bud Heavies or some Michelob Ultras on the back porch, hanging out, relaxing, golfing. Well, when I was talking to my wife Friday night after the kids went to bed, she was like, oh, by the way, baby Box 2 was sad at dinner because he hadn't seen his friends in a while. So I sent out an APB and I invited three of his friends to come over tomorrow.

[Raymundo]

Not when you're on drugs.

[Lunchbox]

So we're talking five year old, two boys, one girl that are coming over on Saturday. And she goes, so they're gonna come about 10:30 or 11, Mike. Great. Sounds good. We'll have fun. It'll be a great time. 11:00'. Clock. 11:03. First kid shows up with his dad and his older brother. What's up, guys? What's up? What's up? How you doing? Come on in. Then 11:15. The other boy shows up with his mom. Hey, how are you? Good to see you. Come on in. Come on in. 11:30, the girl shows up with her mom. Oh, welcome. Come on. We're hanging out for like an hour, hour and 15 minutes.

[Raymundo]

Are you fine on drugs?

[Lunchbox]

I'm not on drugs anymore. I've come down, I'm done. And we're just hanging out, all sitting around the kitchen, talking. The kids are running around playing in the backyard. And then the one dad is like, all right, man, I got to take my older son. He's going to a sleepover. So the. His buddy lives down the street. I'll take him. I'll be back, though. Like, all right, man. Good to see you, man. Good to see you. Cool, cool. And the wives, the women sit around, they're chatting. So I sit around and chat for another hour. And then the one's like, oh, I gotta go. You know what I mean? Taking the daughter. She leaves. So we got three kids, one mom still.

[Raymundo]

You were chatting them up. That's what they say on Love Island.

[Lunchbox]

Chatting them up.

[Raymundo]

Uk.

[Lunchbox]

And then the one of the boys, the dad, shows up with his older sister. And the mom is still there, so they're just hanging out. And then the dad that left, he shows back up. Hey, man. He were sitting around the kitchen table for another two hours, talking. Talking.

[Raymundo]

I set you up to say chatting them up.

[Lunchbox]

Chatting them up. Crap. And then the mom. One of the moms.

[Raymundo]

Yeah, I was gonna say, let's get some more moms in the equation.

[Lunchbox]

No, the mom.

[Raymundo]

Sausage fest at the mom and daughter.

[Lunchbox]

Are like, well, we gotta go house sitting. You know, we're dog sitting, so we're gonna go take the dog for a walk. They leave. So now it's the two dads, me and my wife. My wife just disappears, goes to the room and hangs out by herself for an hour and a half. They were there from 11 until 5pm man, six hours.

[Raymundo]

Love the move by your wife, though. That's genius.

[Lunchbox]

No, no, she's the one that set this whole thing up. And she's like, I just had to leave finally. I was tired. I'm like, no, no, you're the one that invited these people over. And how unbelievable was it that one dad replaced the mom? Like, they texted each other and said, hey, you should come over now. He came over, she left. Unbelievable.

[Raymundo]

And it makes parenting easy and fun, right? I mean, you don't want to just sit in your own living room with your own family and watch your same TV channel every Saturday afternoon. And the programming now Is God awful.

[Lunchbox]

No, no, I understand that. I was thinking they would come over for maybe two, two and a half hours. And we told another family in the neighborhood, hey, you guys want to go to the pool around 3? And so we had plans to be do a pool meetup at 3 o'. Clock.

[Raymundo]

No show.

[Lunchbox]

We no called, no showed because they were still there.

[Raymundo]

But it must have been a good time for six hours. That's a lot of chatting them up.

[Lunchbox]

That's a lot of chatting them up. And they finally leave. And then I'm like, guys, we got to go. Because the family that we were meeting at the pool, we were going to go to the pool three to five. Then we were headed to their crib because we were going to grill some pork missiles.

[Raymundo]

Dude, glizzies are in. Everybody's doing that now.

[Lunchbox]

And so we were like, we got to hurry up and get over there. And by the time we got over there, it's 5:40. We're 40 minutes late because we couldn't get these people out of our house. So we go over there. They got the margaritas going. They got the margarita machines, frozen watermelon margaritas. We're drinking those. The kids are running around being crazy. Got the wings on the grill.

[Raymundo]

They got a fence. Are you worried about kids going in traffic?

[Lunchbox]

Oh, they have a fence in the backyard. But they. I think the kids were in the front yard. They were digging for rocks and coming back. Look at this rock I found. Not sure if they were digging across the street. Where they're was that old man John's. There was construction on the house. I don't know where they were getting the rocks, but they were everywhere.

[Raymundo]

The construction crew is going to be missing some rocks this morning.

[Lunchbox]

And we did the glizzies, you know, the pork missiles.

[Raymundo]

Are you watching? Are you observing or. I'm just observing all the dads putting in their input.

[Lunchbox]

No, no, it's just me and two other dads. Like the dad that lives there and another dad that lives down the street. I got my foot propped up on a chair, dude, because I've been on my foot all day. I'm supposed to raise it above my heart. And he's cooking on the grill. We're sitting out there talking, having some margaritas, having a good old time. Kids are running around. Then we eat wings and the kids eat some pork missiles. They're running around. Finally, about 9:30, we head home. Yeah, we were going from 11 until like 9:30.

[Raymundo]

You know, I totally forgot. Jessica came over at like some Point during the day, around six.

[Lunchbox]

What about Angelina?

[Raymundo]

Now? She didn't. She's off the radar at the moment. They just need a little time away from each other.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. But when he needed her the most.

[Raymundo]

No, no. She sent him a message.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, she did?

[Raymundo]

Yeah. So that was all good.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Raymundo]

But careful, though, with the drinking, because when we had Jessica over, we had a couple too many, and we played. Played the game marry, kill.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, no.

[Raymundo]

With the old neighbor women who we'd pick.

[Lunchbox]

That's fun.

[Raymundo]

And so I said, Mary Carol, she's 70. I said, this one lady is moving out. I said, kill that big old girl. And then, dude, don't get to drink it with the neighbors. We were drinking with the big old girls and the.

[Lunchbox]

And.

[Raymundo]

And the elderly in the community.

[Lunchbox]

Oh. And so then we're sitting there Sunday, you know, Saturday night, and I'm, like, talking about how those people were at the house for six hours. I mean, I've never seen a play date that long, if you want to drop your kids off for that long. But this daycare session, it was a long time, dude. But Saturday night was so much fun. Then they're like, all right, we're gonna go. And they're like, yeah, we'll see you tomorrow. We'll see you tomorrow. And I'm like, tomorrow? They're like, yeah, we got the party bus tomorrow. And I'm like, oh, I forgot all about the party bus on Sunday. On Sunday. I'll tell you all about that right after this.

[Raymundo]

Dude, you're wearing me out. Party bus in your 40s?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. So for the elementary school, they had a spring fundraiser and it's like a bunch of silent auction items. This happened a couple months ago and one of them was wine tasting for 16. And some of the people in the neighborhood like, dude, we should bid on that. We'll get a bus, we'll go to the wine tasting, we'll go to dinner afterwards. It'll be a big old party.

[Raymundo]

You were trying to show out, right? I put down $400.

[Lunchbox]

It wasn't me, it was Josh.

[Raymundo]

Yeah, see, it's the dads trying to pocketbook.

[Lunchbox]

And he talked to another lady. He's like, should we all go in on this? So they start bidding it and we win. And so he sent out a calendar invite. He's like, what day works best for people?

[Raymundo]

I'm none. Whatever day you got, I got something.

[Lunchbox]

So you're thinking we're going to go to this nice winery. We're going to have a good wine tasting. 14 different, like six or seven different wines. 16 of us. It's going to be amazing.

[Raymundo]

Daycare.

[Lunchbox]

Turns out it's at a wine store in a strip center.

[Raymundo]

Man, they got you guys.

[Lunchbox]

So it's like next to Home Depot, and on the other side was a. Was a Walgreens, and on the other.

[Raymundo]

Side of that is a rock climbing wall.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, Pickleball in the subway. There's a subway in the same strip center.

[Raymundo]

Baskin Robbins. I know the deal.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, exactly. And so we're laughing, we're laughing our butts off, but we're like, all right, so we're going to get a bus.

[Raymundo]

Well, where'd you think the wine country was in Nashville?

[Lunchbox]

In there. A vineyard.

[Raymundo]

I think it's known for Whiskey Arrington Vineyards. Oh, see, I've never been.

[Lunchbox]

I've never been either.

[Raymundo]

But see, I'm not. I'm not Lance Romance.

[Lunchbox]

We thought we were going to some, like, vineyard, but after we got the whole thing, the package, it's at a wine store. Like, it's just Ray.

[Raymundo]

The vineyard was. It's next to Vineyard Vines, tv, T shirt company.

[Lunchbox]

So we invited all these family, like couples. Here we go. The bus is picking us up at our. In front of my house, three o'. Clock. Because it's central location.

[Raymundo]

On a Sunday.

[Lunchbox]

On a Sunday.

[Raymundo]

Dude, you're nuts.

[Lunchbox]

I understand that. Nuts. Nuts.

[Raymundo]

You got to be strict. No drinking policy though, too. But you can't do that at a wine taste.

[Lunchbox]

Can't do that. And then we had made dinner reservations at a restaurant down the road after that, like, it was going to be a beautiful evening.

[Raymundo]

You guys are about to take it deeper than we did on Saturday.

[Lunchbox]

Exactly. Dude, this is. These people are jonesing for a good time. This is what parents do. They are just like any excuse to get out. And so the party bus is rented. Everything's lined up. We got the babysitter lined up. Here we go. Let's do this. Babysitter's gonna be there at 2:45. Cause the bus is taking. Is gonna be there at three. And we get a text at two o' clock babysitter. Dog is vomiting, has to take it to the emergency vet.

[Raymundo]

How does that affect the entire 16 party bus?

[Lunchbox]

It affects me. Oh, my babysitter. My wife, our babysitter.

[Raymundo]

Got it. So the party still went on.

[Lunchbox]

And we're like, no, this can't be happening. We've had this planned for a month and a half. We've had this in the books. So what do we do? We pick up the phone, call another babysitter. No. All right, another babysitter. Nope.

[Raymundo]

Wouldn't you hit us?

[Lunchbox]

Nope. Because you live in the country. You wouldn't have made it.

[Raymundo]

Dude, we know how to watch a couple babies.

[Lunchbox]

We called five different babysitters, Ray, and none can make it.

[Raymundo]

Yeah, last second. Two on a Sunday. They were all Sunday fun, Dan.

[Lunchbox]

And so we looked at each other and we said, what do we do? And she goes, well, let's be honest. You have a hurt foot. You can't even put a shoe on that foot. Do you really want to be hobbling around on the bus and in the wine place and then to dinner? How about you stay behind and stay with the kids?

[Raymundo]

That just took a turn.

[Lunchbox]

I looked at my wife, I said, so you're telling me all these 15 other people that are going on this adventure. I guess 14, because we would be the 15th and 16th. I'm going to miss out on this bonding experience and meeting some of these new people that I've never met and all the memories.

[Raymundo]

You really said that to your wife?

[Lunchbox]

And I said, you're 100% right, because I don't like wine. Don't even give a crap about wine. I was going for the experience they had. And people start showing up at the house, and they got roadies and they got their own cooler, little coolers full for the bus ride there and the bus ride back.

[Raymundo]

Because your spot was the meetup.

[Lunchbox]

My spot was the meetup.

[Raymundo]

15 times. Guys were not going. Hey, Mark. Hey, we're not going. Hey, Sarah, how you doing? Yeah, it is Sunday Funday. We're not going.

[Lunchbox]

Everybody kept going, hey, dude, are you going to get dressed? I'm like, you're in your pajamas. I was just in basketball shorts and a T shirt. I was like, can't go. Babysitter canceled. They're like, well, you could send one to our house. And then other neighbors, like, you could send one to our house. And I'm like, your babysitter would murder me if I just start dropping kids off at random times. They're like, oh, you should. Like, maybe you should, like, come down for dinner at least. And I'm like, no, no, no, guys. Like, I'm just going to miss out. And then one lady, she jumps out of the car. She has a whole bottle of Prosecco. She shoots the cork in the air, starts pouring everybody drinks in their mouth. She's like, here, open up, open up.

[Raymundo]

Where was this? At Miami Beach?

[Lunchbox]

And I'm like, I'm about to head back in. She goes, oh, here, will you take the empty bottle? I'm like, yeah, it's cash.

[Raymundo]

Thanks.

[Lunchbox]

I'm like, it's glass. I don't do glass. Okay.

[Raymundo]

I didn't get the joke.

[Lunchbox]

Like, I was like, I don't do glass. And then she goes, oh, I guess since we already drank it all, we don't need the cups. Here, will you take the cups, too? I'm like, all right, cool. And then she was like. And then they get in front of the bus and we all take a picture. Like, I'm like, I don't need to be in the picture, guys. Like, I'm not going. I got a bum foot. The kids are inside, and I just watched them get on the bus and drive off to the strip mall to go to their wine tasting. And then they went to dinner. My wife came rolling in about 9 o', clock, buzzing from the freaking heavens.

[Raymundo]

Oh.

[Lunchbox]

So she went, oh, she went, all.

[Raymundo]

Right, I might have been into this video.

[Lunchbox]

I got to stay home, man, and just enjoy the day.

[Raymundo]

But were there the bro, the dads? Did you hit any of them up? Like, hey, any of the ladies get a little too crazy?

[Lunchbox]

No, I, I. It was already 9:00 o'clock at night. And I asked my wife how it was, she goes, oh, it's fun. And she goes, I didn't get that drunk. But the one dad that did drive over because the babysitter was late, him and his wife, they walked home and said, I'll just get my truck in the morning because they were a little sauced.

[Raymundo]

It carried over to a Monday.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. And then I texted and I said, how would you rate the experience? One to 10 and one that is a doctor.

[Raymundo]

She responded, calling all my patients, every appointment's canceled today.

[Lunchbox]

She said, wine tasting was okay. Dinner and hanging out with everyone was fun. And then she said, what did everyone else think? And then she. And she's one of the organizers. She goes, I do have to be honest. I wish the organizers found a Saturday, though, because I'm getting my brain together to see patients. This morning is challenging. Foggy then another mom agree. The Wine specialist at the wine place. Could have been a little more exciting, but we had so much fun. Then one of the dads, I thought it was great. The bus was awesome. Going back and forth just on the bus was worth it alone. That was where the real party was. Then another mom, we need to do more of these group outings. Then my wife said, yeah, I said the same thing. The wine tasting was okay. I wish I was sitting at your table for dinner, but it was still fun and the bus was a great idea. And then the other dad, we don't even need a fancy restaurant. Bus just can take us anywhere. Anytime you're on a bus, it's like a party.

[Raymundo]

I like that guy.

[Lunchbox]

Reminds me of my time back in Wisconsin and then thought he was in Madison. And then this other mom goes, I think we need to buy a limo. And then one of the dad goes, here's a 2000 limo for sale.

[Raymundo]

Sheesh.

[Lunchbox]

And then I said, they said, it would have been 10 out of 10 if you would have been there. And I said, yeah, you guys all failed. The right answer was, it was terrible. It would have been fun with me, but without me was no fun.

[Raymundo]

With work the next day, you probably wouldn't even have been drinking.

[Lunchbox]

I wouldn't have been hitting it hard, and I don't even like wine.

[Raymundo]

I wasn't going to go hard in.

[Lunchbox]

The pain, but I was excited about going out and enjoying myself on a Sunday and at a party bus and having fun, and I didn't get to do it, man.

[Raymundo]

So tell me this, though. How much did you fork over, money wise?

[Lunchbox]

$0.

[Raymundo]

I thought you said you all pitched in to try and win.

[Lunchbox]

They pitched in and then they didn't.

[Raymundo]

Pitch in at all. It was gonna be a free 99.

[Lunchbox]

It's free 99. I don't believe there was three families that bought the thing and then invited all these other people.

[Raymundo]

Got it. Okay. So I thought all the groups had pitched in.

[Lunchbox]

I thought it was too, but I told my wife, I said, how much do we have to pay for that? She goes, nothing.

[Raymundo]

So the other people were just flexing.

[Lunchbox]

Yes, the three other families were flexing.

[Raymundo]

Hey, John, thanks for the low key flex. $1,000.

[Lunchbox]

So they invited all of us and we got to go.

[Raymundo]

All right, so the fact you didn't invest the money, I guess then it's just like, yeah, we're not going to go. I mean, because those other three families that paid, it was their thing.

[Lunchbox]

Their thing.

[Raymundo]

Okay.

[Lunchbox]

It was their thing. And one of the wives, when I was like, I'm not going. I mean, I thought she was going to cry. She goes, I'm so sad right now.

[Raymundo]

What she going to do, make out?

[Lunchbox]

I was like, girl, we're not, we're not hooking up. So let's relax.

[Raymundo]

You tell her you're married?

[Lunchbox]

Well, she was there with her husband.

[Raymundo]

Anytime one of the fellow parents is like super sad, you didn't go like, you have a family.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, it's a little strange. I'm like, sorry, I don't know. I don't know what to say. Yeah, like, all right.

[Raymundo]

Would you. Did any of them come in when your wife came in at 9?

[Lunchbox]

No. No, they all stumbled home.

[Raymundo]

She said, one of the women kisses you.

[Lunchbox]

She like, comes in like, oh, sorry, wrong house, wrong house. Sorry.

[Raymundo]

Did that guy that left his cars, did they sleep you guys house?

[Lunchbox]

No, they walked there three blocks home to their house.

[Raymundo]

Got it.

[Lunchbox]

And I guess he came and got it in the morning. I don't know.

[Raymundo]

How embarrassing. 40 something. Monday morning, you gotta go get your vehicle.

[Lunchbox]

Like, gotta go get. Hey, gotta go get the truck, man. He literally, he told my wife when he got the bus, he's like, I think we're gonna walk home. I'll just get my truck in the morning.

[Raymundo]

He's walking at 5am the birds are out and he's getting his truck, doing the walk of shame. Dude, get back to your neighborhood. Get back to your 9 to 5. What are these families doing?

[Lunchbox]

This is wild. It's great.

[Raymundo]

And then what part of town was it that it took you guys?

[Lunchbox]

South of town. Yeah. And then he replied.

[Raymundo]

I was thinking it was at Frugal McDougal for a second.

[Lunchbox]

He goes, one of the dads goes, man, those lesbians were a lot of fun.

[Raymundo]

What?

[Lunchbox]

And then mom goes, they weren't lesbians. They were just friends. One one of the husbands couldn't come, so she brought a friend. He goes, oh, my bad.

[Raymundo]

Good upgrade.

[Lunchbox]

Those lesbians were a lot of fun.

[Raymundo]

I bet you missed out on some stuff.

[Lunchbox]

I bet I missed out on a lot. I guarantee you my wife didn't tell me half of it. She's not a very good storyteller. She doesn't have a good. She doesn't take mental notes of everything like I do. We'll take a break. We'll be right back.

[Dr. Joy Hardin Bradford]

I'm Dr. Joy Harden Bradford, and in session 421 of Therapy for Black Girls, I sit down with Dr. Afia and Billy Shaka to explore how our hair connects to our identity, mental health and the ways we heal.

[Janae AKA Cheekies]

Because I think think hair is a complex language system, right, in terms of it can tell how old you are, your marital status, where you're from, your spiritual belief. But I think with social media there's like a hyper fixation and observation of our hair, right? That this is sometimes the first thing someone sees when we make a post or a reel is how our hair is styled.

[Dr. Joy Hardin Bradford]

We talk about the important role hairstylists play in our communities, the pressure to always look put together, and how breaking up with perfection can actually free us. Plus, if you're someone who gets anxious about flying, don't miss session 418 with Dr. Angela Neal Barnett, where we dive into managing flight anxiety.

Check out behind the Flow, a podcast documentary series following the launch of San Diego Football Club. We go behind the scenes and explore the stories of those involved.

[Unnamed Speaker]

San Diego coming to MLS is going to be a game changer because this region has been hungry for a men's professional soccer team.

[Raymundo]

We need veteran players and we need young players. Like, you're building a team from scratch and so the succession plan of long term success needs to be defined. We need to embrace this community.

[Unnamed Speaker]

When I was 13, my uncle took me to a qualifier and we watched Paraguay against Chile pouring rain. Just watching the fans jumping up and down, I think that was definitely a watershed moment for me. Not only was that going to be my game, but it was going to be my life.

[Danielle Robaix]

Hi everyone, it's Janae AKA Cheekies from Cheekies and Chill Podcast and I'm launching an all new mini podcast series called Sincerely Janae. Sure, I'm a singer, author, businesswoman and podcaster, but at the end of the day, I am human and that's why I'm sharing my ups and downs with you guys. Hi guys. I was sitting here recording episodes of Dear Cheekies and Cheekies and Chill and I just had to take a time out and purge my thoughts and feelings here on Sincerely Janae. Because I've been so emotional lately, you guys. Whether I'm in my feels, I've just had a breakthrough with my therapist or I've just had a really deep conversation with my siblings or I'm in glam getting ready for an award show, I'm sharing my most intimate thoughts with you on the podcast. You Guys know I always keep it real with you guys, but this time, I'm taking it to the next level. Listen to Cheekies and chill on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcasts.

[Raymundo]

Because let's be real, that many. Not just to play the numbers. What? You said 16 people, right?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, couples.

[Raymundo]

There had to have been one that got pissed.

[Lunchbox]

There had to be some kind of fight there.

[Raymundo]

In some fight. There had to have been some guy that got a little handsy.

[Lunchbox]

There had to be something that got too drunk and the spouse was mad at that person for getting a little too drunk.

[Raymundo]

There's no way everybody. Everybody was just a perfect person.

[Lunchbox]

It wasn't. It couldn't have been smooth sailing. There's no way it was smooth sailing the whole trip.

[Raymundo]

Like, one of the guys takes a pee outside the bus or something.

[Lunchbox]

Something in the parking lot. Anything. But that was my weekend, man. So, yeah, it was a lot.

[Raymundo]

You don't think they played with that empty Prosecco bottle? They played spin the bottle on the way back to you.

[Lunchbox]

No, because I took it inside, dude.

[Raymundo]

Good thing.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Raymundo]

If there's ever a bottle sitting around, it lends itself to spin the bottle.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, spin the bottle. That's good stuff. That was a good game back in the day. Wild. What a weird game. Who invented that?

[Raymundo]

I mean, it's basically. It doesn't make its way past college. I mean, when's the last time you played spin the Bottle? Because you can't as an adult.

[Lunchbox]

No.

[Raymundo]

You don't do it in wrist kissing a dude.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, no.

[Raymundo]

Some people play it. If it lands on a dude, you kiss a dude.

[Lunchbox]

Well, I'm not playing the way Callaway plays. Okay. I'm just not. I just can't do it. But, yeah, that was about it, man.

[Raymundo]

You play where it has to land on the opposite sex. Yeah, we play. Lands on a dude. Lands on a dude.

[Lunchbox]

That's how you guys do it in Michigan. You also thought the coaches getting naked was normal because your coaches got naked and came in the locker room. I don't know. And I think there was some guy on Facebook. It was his birthday. Alex Heat. I don't know when his birthday was, but he's a big fan. He's never nice to us, but he wanted a happy birthday, so. Happy birthday. I think it was just this past weekend, but yeah. And also, I got another email. I'd be remiss if I didn't mention that Landon locker is also qualified to address foot injuries. Bay dropped a beer glass Bottle near lockers pool. This was against the rules. The glass hit her and cut her ankle. Landon jumped up and stopped the bleeding with a Moana band aid. She lived. Take a few shots and the pain will go away and you will live. Nurse Brandy. There we go, guys.

[Raymundo]

Let's go to cans. This is a little too much with the glass. We learned that at Bell's Bluff one time a dude had coronas out there. Freaking Ruiz went and went off on the dude. Last time anybody ever brought glass to the pool.

[Lunchbox]

I will say I used to think, oh, what's the big deal if you have glass at the pool? Who cares? Now I know. Never. Glass should never be anywhere. Anywhere. No one should ever drink from glass ever again. Ever. Did not realize how dangerous glass could be.

[Raymundo]

Contrary opinion, I think Ultra is better in a can than in a bottle.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, yeah?

[Raymundo]

Yeah. I'm not a fan of bottles. I think everything tastes better as a draft or in a can than in a bottle.

[Lunchbox]

Interesting. Yeah, I have no idea. I don't know the answers, Ray.

[Raymundo]

I don't drink anymore.

[Lunchbox]

All right, man. Have a great Monday.

[Unnamed Speaker]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

I thought it was a good pot.

[Raymundo]

We covered everything. Except for you. Went a little too hot and heavy with hanging out with Justin.

[Lunchbox]

No, no.

[Raymundo]

The whole basis of us hanging out was the passing of Tim.

[Lunchbox]

How would I know that?

[Raymundo]

That's why I tried to give you a heads up and you just kept saying, so what do you guys do? I didn't know why you wanted to know.

[Lunchbox]

Well, because you said there was an update, so is obviously there.

[Raymundo]

I get it now. You were connecting the birthday update and us hanging out as an update. But it wasn't an update. It was just eating pork. U.S. pork missiles. And doing some memory lane.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, that's my fault. That's my fault.

[Raymundo]

And making Bazer think we almost played in the major leagues.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Raymundo]

He ended up staying the night too.

[Lunchbox]

Really?

[Raymundo]

Yeah. He wasn't good to drive.

[Lunchbox]

Good.

[Raymundo]

He stayed upstairs. He's up there playing video games till 4am Me and Bazer slept till noon on Sunday. Whoa. It's the latest I've slept in 10 years, dude.

[Lunchbox]

My kids, let me tell you, they slept till 8:30 on Sunday.

[Raymundo]

That's good for kids, right?

[Lunchbox]

Unbelievable. That's how much they were worn out from the kid. All the kids being over there on Saturday. Then us going over to the neighbors and making pork missiles. 8:30 in the morning. I was shocked. Shocked. Yeah. I wonder how my wife's feeling this morning.

[Raymundo]

Ask her if they played F Marry Kill.

[Lunchbox]

Okay.

[Raymundo]

I'm telling you, people, you know, married people in neighborhoods, it's like the easiest game to play, gets everybody riled up. It was a blast. I mean other. Otherwise what else are you going to play? You know what I mean?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, that's a great one. I'm going to do that. I'm going to send a text right now. I'm going to send a text. Let's play F, marry, kill. And I'm gonna get their reactions because.

[Raymundo]

It really gets them going because then they'll be, oh really? That big old girl and you're.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, you can end it. We already buzzed it.

[Raymundo]

All right.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, just stop it. You're good.

[Raymundo]

Do you think that was a good choice though? I said I'd marry the 70 year old.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, that's probably secure.

[Raymundo]

Like cuz she's already retired.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Raymundo]

So then I don't have to, you.

[Lunchbox]

Know, she'll take care of you.

[Raymundo]

Yeah, yeah, like she's secure, you know.

[Lunchbox]

Yes. On Wednesday we got to talk about Big Brother.

[Raymundo]

No, I'm not watching it.
