Ray
Can I say something?
Paul
You can say whatever you want. You can have whatever you like. You know who sings that?
Ray
So this is just for the listeners.
Paul
Good talk. Just ignore me. Just ignore my ass. Don't worry about it. You can have whatever you like.
Ray
Ti Good job.
Paul
Ray.
Ray
I'm gonna ask you something from our wheelhouse. Who's the greatest Bulls team in the.
Paul
No, no, no Literally, you were just saying. Can I say something? I was just trying to tie it in. You can say whatever you like. And then I said, who's saying that? And you just kept going like I wasn't even here. It's cool. Go ahead, man.
Ray
Ray, who is a greater team? This year's Wimy or Tim Duncan and Manu?
Paul
No. Do we. Do I do that ever going to.
Ray
Go with Wemby this year?
Paul
No. It's Thunder. They can't. They don't lose. Dude, they are. They don't have half their team and they just win. No. Hey, don't worry about championship hangover. They got it. They're. They're just going to keep winning. Go ahead.
Ray
And they got six men of the year.
Paul
Who's that?
Ray
I believe a Jai Mitchell or something.
Paul
Oh, he's pretty good.
Ray
All right. So, guys, here is. This is just to you guys. Lunch isn't even hearing this. I have gotten inside source news that Netflix. Have you heard of it?
Paul
I've heard of it.
Ray
It's a show TV station.
Paul
Actually, it's a streaming service. It's not a TV station. So we're both wrong. Eat that.
Ray
They are going to start streaming podcasts. That is why we need to get in bed with video. I knew there was a reason we were doing video. Hear that, truckers? You guys aren't going to be alone at night, so get that blanket on tight because we're coming to Netflix. Wow.
Paul
Let me. We are the sore losers. Gmail.com. let me check our inbox.
Ray
Um.
Paul
Nothing from Netflix, man. They are not interested in our videos. They have not. They said your videos suck. We're not interested. Thanks for. Thanks for nothing.
Ray
But this is the start of it, so we've got to start the videos. I don't care if I don't feel like doing it. I don't care if you don't feel like doing it. I don't care if they said we're going to have an intern that never showed up. That's real. That's not even Arnold the make believe guy. Hey, don't talk about me when I'm not there. There's supposed to be some intern that's running our crap. I still haven't seen him or her. We need videos.
Paul
So now you're back on the video.
Ray
Train because of Netflix? I don't know how many more signs we need. We're going down and messing with people on Broadway. We're going and interviewing people. We're gonna film our podcast. We need videos.
Paul
Okay, so the Video's running right now. And even more so, the video's going right now.
Ray
No. Guess what the freaking email said.
Paul
No, there was no email. Netflix did not email me.
Ray
I'll forward it. Not that one, but I'm saying the one that tipped me off about this.
Paul
Okay, go ahead. What else did it say?
Ray
It said, said I heart looks to form relationship with Netflix. Ding ding ding, ding dong ditch. The witch is dead. If that isn't writing on the wall, I don't know what is. We're coming to Netflix.
Paul
Man. I never thought Netflix would want to do a filming of this podcast in this tiny studio that looks like we're in the basement of our parents house. Has no flair to it, no character, no nothing. It is just a plain Jane studio. I could see Netflix wanting to splash this all over America and across the pond and over to Australia, down to Japan and. And back to Tim Buck too. They don't want anything to do with our podcast because look at this thing. We got to get our own studio. We got to get some pizzazz, some lights, some stuff like on the walls.
Ray
Hide your kids, hide your wives because.
Paul
We'Re coming to Netflix. Who needs YouTube TV? Get Netflix, baby.
Ray
My wife pulls up the Netflix top 10 where she always just doom scrolls to try and find something to watch and. And our podcast is on there.
Paul
Great use of doom scroll by the way. Very well done, man. Because I pulled up Netflix the other day and I turned something on for the kids and baby Box is like, I don't like this. I'm like, what, you've never seen it? Yeah, I have. It literally been released that day. I'm like, you haven't seen this. You've been at school. He goes, I saw it. I saw it. Twenty minutes later he's like, dad, this is really funny. I don't know what it is. I have no idea what it is. One of those cartoons, but he loves it. It's a Dr. Seuss thing. But it had been released that day, but automatically I don't like it.
Ray
Smart kid.
Paul
I've already seen it. It's not funny.
Ray
Play it off thinking that you weren't going to check when it was released.
Paul
Well, I mean, it literally said in red, new release.
Ray
My wife already knows my things. It's like we ain't watching a Christmas movie now. You know, if it doesn't have palm trees, I'm probably not watching it. It needs to have a hot co lead, stuff like that. It needs to be something to do with water.
Paul
If so, who's the Hot lead on this. If we do Netflix, do we need to get. Do we need to get a chicken to be. Do we need to get a palm tree in here and have, like, a cocktail waitress bringing us drinks during the show so it looks good on Netflix?
Ray
Sounds like we need Abby on More. We need Amy on More. We need Morgan number two on More. We need Morgan number one on More. We need.
Paul
That means we got to put sand in the studio. It's like we're at the beach.
Ray
What's the rock station girl name? I don't know if there's a Rock midday girl that. You've met her before. And I always. I've met her maybe once, but she used to have. She has a corner office next to McKitty.
Paul
I think she's on the beat.
Ray
Whatever. Kate.
Paul
Yeah, yeah, we. I didn't know she was on the rock. I don't know. I have no idea what she's on.
Ray
Sales ladies in here.
Paul
We've never had a sales lady on. Perfect. We did have that one lady from Minnesota that was walking through. Never got an email from her saying, hey, she listened. And then she liked the pod or anything like that. Her and her husband went back and listened to it. No, it's cool. We just throw you on our podcast and you don't give us at least one download. That's all right.
Ray
They had to have listened back to that.
Paul
Well, they didn't notify us because the.
Ray
Data shows they did. It was our biggest quarter of our existence.
Paul
Maybe that's why Netflix is coming on board now. It goes hand in hand with we getting us. We getting us getting more sore losers nation listeners this quarter. Netflix saw that. They've been in tune. Now we are coming to Netflix.
Ray
And it also shows most people don't read their emails by me reading just reading something. We're six months ahead. Everybody else here. Nobody else knows this.
Paul
Yeah, I don't know if I got that. Did I get the email?
Ray
It depends. Sometimes they put me on some mailing list as a producer that I get stuff where it's like these polls, results. This happened. This signed. This artist is in behind bars. This artist came out, you know?
Paul
Yeah, I think you probably got that and I didn't because I didn't get anything like that. I don't get any polls or this or that or this and that.
Ray
Right. Who was it that came out?
Paul
Yeah, but we should start the show, man. Might as well start the show now that, hey, we're coming to Netflix.
Ray
You are looking live Netflix. We all along dude, sore loser.
Paul
Man. I just gotta say, it's a pleasure to be on Netflix now. I mean, I am humbled. I never thought this was possible. When I used to go to the little box outside the store and you would. Or. No, it was online, and I'd order the CDs and they would mail them to us, and then we'd watch the DVDs and we'd mail them back. Now we are gonna be on this platform. It's, like, such an honor. So, I mean, it feels really good. I am over the moon, excited. I don't know if this is gonna change my life, really, but. What's up, everybody? I'm 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.
Ray
What up, y'?
Paul
All?
Ray
It is Sizzin. I'm from the North. I'm an alpha male. I live on the north side of Nashville. I'm married to Bayser, my wife. We live in the country. 2.333333 acres. And we have two kids at Vanderbilt. Justin will check on them. My friend in the electrophysiology unit. And I'm probably going to die of a heart attack when I'm 72. And let's go over to you on Netflix.
Paul
Man, this feels different, man.
Ray
There.
Paul
The energy is different. The vibe is different. It just. Everything is different.
Ray
The biggest energy intro we've ever had.
Paul
This is so crazy, man. We are wacky. We love sports over here on Netflix.
Ray
Netflix.
Paul
And we gotta do a little cross promotion right now. Make sure you watch season eight of Stranger Things out now on Netflix.
Ray
And if we're in your top 10 good should be welcome. Welcome in. Are you in bed with your wife?
Paul
Hey. Oh, are you doing a little Netflix? And chilled in a little Sore Losers podcast. If you don't know a lot about this podcast, we are two dudes sitting at a bar stool, talking sports, talking life, and talking pop culture. Welcome to the Sore Losers podcast.
Ray
The Barstool. Did you steal that from Barstool?
Paul
What?
Ray
That's their slogan. A bar stool. That's the name of their whole company. Barstool. What else are you gonna say? The Entertainment Sports People Network.
Paul
That's really their thing.
Ray
Yeah. Oh, a bunch of guys sitting on bar stools. That's how it was formed.
Paul
Oh.
Ray
What's the next thing you say? A bunch of friends are on a microphone.
Paul
Can I be honest? I literally never heard that. I literally was just trying to go from the dome, like Come up with something and. Oh, man, it's important.
Ray
They created the whole dang thing.
Paul
Holy crap.
Ray
It started with a newspaper and then is now whatever this mega conglomerate it is.
Paul
Yeah. Now they do the thing that McAfee does, but they do it on Fox, right?
Ray
They. Are you talking about Saturday game day?
Paul
I thought, oh, is it game day? I thought they did their show on Fox Sports now.
Ray
Yeah, they do. They're one of them.
Paul
But I don't talk about that because we're on Netflix. Welcome back. That was a minor hiccup. I didn't mean to use barstool. That. That was. I swear to you, I'd never heard that in my life. That's really weird. And now that you say it, it makes complete sense on how that is tied in.
Ray
And also, it's like, I feel like Portnoy. Are we. Can we talk about him for a second?
Paul
Yeah, we can.
Ray
I just feel like he's kind of like a crotchety old man before. Before he was rich. Now that he's rich, just like he hates everything. He treats his employer. He's like, crap. And I'm like, I get it.
Paul
Does he treat him like crab or does he treat him awesome? I don't know.
Ray
But I'm like, are you guys really sitting around bar stools right now, or are you just in a boardroom yelling at each other?
Paul
I will say that they do a lot of videos of them watching games together.
Ray
That's not entertaining to me.
Paul
No, no, I. I'm not saying it's entertaining, but I'm saying, do they not have families? There's nothing. There's no one at that. Like, it's amazing how many people are there watching games on Saturday, Sundays, Monday nights, Tuesday nights. And I saw one of their dudes hit a big Parlay.
Ray
He had 90,000.
Paul
He hit 90,000. It was like, anytime. Touchdown for J.J. mcCarthy.
Ray
He went all quarterback.
Paul
Trevor Lawrence. I don't know which other ones he.
Ray
Had, but some running back called Netflix.
Paul
And I was like, damn, that's great. But they were all around watching it and I'm like, how are all these people just sitting around watching it?
Ray
I think the same thing. And one of their main guys is Big Cat. He has a wife, he has kids, and it was probably a Sunday. He's not at home with his family. They make him work on us. That sucks. He does the weekday show and then he has to on a Sunday go watch the game with a bunch of 18 year olds.
Paul
Do you think they're required or is it fun they're required.
Ray
You're not going to a room with cameras without alcohol. There's not booze.
Paul
No, there's got to be booze.
Ray
There's not. Because I don't think they're partnered with one.
Paul
Well, I mean, maybe they drink in a red star, a solo cup.
Ray
And they're all working so many hours. I don't really ever see them getting because woozy.
Paul
Because when I went to San Antonio, there was a band playing at the art event. And the band doesn't drink. Right. But the crew does drink. So they hide it from the band. They had it in drawers, and then they also would pour it in red solo cups. And whenever someone would come in, they would put the solo couple to the side.
Ray
That's called something else.
Paul
So it was weird. They weren't allowed to drink it in front of the band, but they were allowed to drink. I don't really know.
Ray
I don't got a problem, man. I just pound two beers before I go to dinner with my wife. It's like, okay, guys.
Paul
See, I don't know. But those, they do look like they have cool setup where they have all those recliners and they're all sitting around watching games. Looks comfortable, but I don't see how you can do that seven days a week.
Ray
Are you seeing chicks in those videos?
Paul
No, I haven't. Does Brianna chicken fry still there?
Ray
She does a podcast on there, but.
Paul
But I don't care. Cause I'm on Netflix.
Ray
And I just don't think it has translated yet. The got watching people watch tv. I'm good. I get the streaming where a guy's staring at the computer stream and he's doing. He's doing interesting kind of crap.
Paul
They're talking.
Ray
There's a comment section. I get all that. But the dudes, because they can't legally show the T what's on the tv.
Paul
Oh, that's right. They don't have to be broadcast. Yeah, you're right.
Ray
So that's why they have to show us. Watching them watch.
Paul
Crap.
Ray
I'm not in. I'm not in on that. Even the most interesting clip, when the guy won 90,000, I clicked out after like five seconds. I'm like, our podcast is more interesting than that.
Paul
Well, I find it interesting. What I don't understand, and maybe I'm just too old. Maybe this is going to make me sound like a crotchy old man. But I don't understand people that watch other people play video games. Like those people that like do twitch and they show them they Live stream them playing a video game and they get millions of people watching. Can someone please explain to me what is entertaining about watching another human play video games?
Ray
I'm going to hold your dick right there. Excuse me. Pardon me for saying that. Are you entertained by watching other people gamble? No, because I am. When Steve will do does it and Bob Menary does it. It is a fascinating three hours at 2am in Vegas, they film themselves John Cerisani at a table.
Paul
Oh, your boy John Sarasani popped up on my Instagram there and I was like, who is this guy? And he's playing one on one blackjack. I'm like, all right, I'm bored. I'm see.
Ray
So I, I disagree with you on that because the gambling is really entertaining.
Paul
Really? I don't.
Ray
I, I agree with you on the video.
Paul
I got a question.
Ray
I can shake your hand on that, but I can't meet you there with the. Because the gambling is interesting. And when a streamer like Kai Sonat interesting as crap. The speed guy interesting when they're streaming, that's interesting.
Paul
I mean that speed guy, he, he's streams him going to dinner interesting.
Ray
That's why I streamed this at the convention. I started that.
Paul
I don't really understand.
Ray
I started streaming.
Paul
No, you did not start Netflix. But we are here now and it feels good. And you know, it's funny, the cameras aren't on. I keep pointing at the cameras and there's no nothing to see. But what I hear me out. If we took a trip to Vegas, right?
Ray
That ain't happening in the foreseeable future, but sure.
Paul
Would hypothetically Sore Losers Nation be. I mean, how is a casino. You had to be betting big money to rent out a whole table to set up all your cameras. Because if I just come out on the casino floor and I have my camera and I put it up, is Sore Losers Nation gonna watch me play $25 a hand at blackjack?
Ray
Oh my gosh, you just thought of dumbly how you and me are going to go stream and become huge on Netflix.
Paul
Yeah.
Ray
As part of the podcast, we're going to go stream in Vegas gambling.
Paul
Yeah, but how, how, how do you do it? You have to have the casinos agree.
Ray
You just ask them.
Paul
But you had to have clearance ahead of time. I can't just walk up to a table and say, hey, can I stream while I play? No, because you had them up before.
Ray
John Sarasani gets permission. The Rio gets permission.
Paul
If I say, hey guys, I hey, hey, hey, red rocks or whatever.
Ray
What is Red rocks. You have 300,000 followers. I have a hundred thousand followers. Boom. Both of us will be there streaming. We have this much of a following this. How many downloads would you be cool with us renting out a table? And they're going to go, yeah, on a Tuesday. Perfect. Come.
Paul
And then they're going to say, minimum bet is $100, $200, $300 a hand. Right? They're not going to say, hey, you can pay 20. Play $25 a hand.
Ray
You ready for the caveat? Yeah, well, we got to play with our own money. They'll let you film, but it's never make believe money. Those dudes really win or they really lose.
Paul
No, I understand that, but is it going to be okay if it's $25 a hand? Are they going to let me have a whole table, a dealer, and stream for $25 a hand?
Ray
That's a great question, because the guys I watch do play pretty huge hands. And we're cutting the stream. If we're down 5,000, like, we won't even be able to afford our flight back.
Paul
Yeah, that's what I mean. I get down 200, I'm ready to walk away.
Ray
They're like, but you emailed with us for the past month, right? We lost our money.
Paul
Yeah, I lost 200, man. Like, I got it. I got to switch the mojo. I got to go to another table, man.
Ray
They have the table rented out, and we bail after being down 600. They clean us out.
Paul
That's like. I mean, I got a call yesterday, and I looked down. It's Garrett. And I'm like, man, what's Garrett calling me for? You know, Pick it up. What are you doing, man? What? I owe this pleasure because I'm just driving, like, to call people on the commute. Oh, my. Oh, man. So we start talking. We talk about life, everything. And then he's like, hey, are we going to make Vegas happen? I mean, we've been talking about it since May, doing a weekend in Vegas to watch football. I said, when do you want to go? And he goes, wild car weekend. Let's go to Vegas.
Ray
Okay, Garrett.
Paul
And I said, garrett, have you ever heard of the Sore losers convention? He goes, no, actually, I haven't. What's that? I said, it's where Sore Losers Nation takes over. Nashville. It's wild card weekend. I can't go to Vegas.
Ray
Good job, Gary. You had our same great idea five years late. We had it five years ago for the first ever convention.
Paul
Yeah, it's sort of like Ray Invented streaming. And now we invented going to Vegas and taking it over. We did that a long time ago. You're way behind the game. So needless to say, he goes, oh, all right. Guess I'll call some other people, see if they want to go. I'm like, no, no, no, no, you don't go. Don't go without me.
Ray
What's his second option? Christmas.
Paul
Hey, hey, can we go on Thanksgiving, man? Like, what?
Ray
No, me and Baser did that last year.
Paul
Was awesome. Well, I have kids.
Ray
Don't ever take that from me. That was a hell of a weekend.
Paul
I'm gonna tell you, when I used to go back to Austin, hearing, oh.
Ray
It'S so hard on the big screen at Vegas in the sports book, laughing.
Paul
My butt off, dude, I'm telling you, when we went to. When I go back to Austin during college Thanksgiving break. The night before Thanksgiving were some of the wildest nights on 6th Street I've ever had. Because the drinks are so cheap because. And there's not, it's not as crowded as it usually is. So I mean there's just. You go to every bar and it's just so friendly and fun and everybody that's out is in a good, in for a good time. And there's one time I went out the night before Thanksgiving, me and Chest day met two chicks and we go back to their apartment and we wake up to the one of the girl's parents knocking on the door, ready to go have Thanksgiving. And they're like, hide, hide, hide, hide. What? Hide the hell. We're grown adults. All right, we'll hide. So we hid in one of the girls rooms. They left with the parents, left us in their apartment and we had to close up. We just had to leave after they left. And then I guess they came back and locked it, I don't know. But it was like, man. And then force like, man, we got to get home for Thanksgiving, huh? We had to go to our parents house for Thanksgiving.
Ray
What a hell of a tea day.
Paul
I mean it was amazing.
Ray
And also, you know, you know, got all the homework. They're at the soup kitchen. You don't got to step over them on six.
Paul
True. And there was one time my dad was going to come over and help me scrub the popcorn off the ceiling of my house. You know how the popcorn ceilings? Like it's like little now everything is flat. Like the new thing is have a flat ceiling, right? And he was like, I'll come in over, you know, morning of Thanksgiving. Because we're not, you know, having Thanksgiving dinner. We're not supposed to be able to Grandma and grandpa's till noon or one. I'm like, all right, cool. And I go out on 6th street the night before and just get smashed.
Ray
And that can't be easy.
Paul
And I slept in my car downtown and I've never been so cold in my life.
Ray
Yep.
Paul
And I mean, luckily back in the day, I had so many clothes in my car just piled on the top of me. And I got up four times in the hours that I was passed out in my car after a night on 6th street, peeing in the alley, getting back in the car. And then my dad's at my house at 7:45am So I had to set my phone alarm in the car so to drive home and change. And we scraped popcorn for like two and a half hours. Man, I'm telling you, those nights before Thanksgiving, great times.
Ray
Hey brother, you want to sleep on my part of the alley? No, man, I got a car and I'm going to my apartment.
Paul
I'm going to go to my house, man, it's just I. I couldn't leave my car here. It's Thanksgiving, man. I needed to get to grandma and grandpa's and. Yeah, man, it's really complicated.
Ray
Oh brother, I thought you were down on your luck like rest of us.
Paul
Hey man, why are you peeing near my dumpster? Hey man, I don't know. My car's just parked right there. I just needed somewhere to pee. I'm sorry, you know, I'm getting back in my car. Don't worry. Lock the doors. Boom. It is really cold because you couldn't have the car running because then you get dui.
Ray
It can't be colder in this room right now because my feet are freezing.
Paul
Yeah, well, we'll go outside, we'll warm up, we'll come back, we'll take a break, we'll be right back.

All right, back on Netflix.
Paul
Oh man, we are back after that long awaited sponsor break by Netflix. I have to say I love my wife, right? I really do love my wife. She's really a great woman, but she seems to be the worst at communicating what's going on in life.
Ray
Don't agree. She is great with the convention. My name is Bennett. I ain't in it. My name is Paul. It's up to y'.
Podcast Advertiser
All.
Paul
Yeah, so she tells me. Hey, got a text. Said there's some kids meeting at the playground at the park after school. Wanted to know if we wanted to bring our boys because one of the moms the daughter was in kindergarten, which is Baby Box 2's age. And the other kid is in Baby Box's first grade class. And they're like, ought to be great. It's a bunch of parents, you know. And I'm like, all right, great, cool. She's like, so we're going to go. It's going to be about, you know, 3:30. We're going to go to the park and play and hang out. I'm like, all right, great. Weekday, Weekday. Monday night.
Ray
Woof.
Paul
We mean wolf.
Ray
That blows, man. As a dad, I don't want to come home. Get on the couch. TV's on, I ain't leaving. Change too.
Paul
Here's the thing, right? We get home, it's one o', clock, so I have two hours before the kids get home to relax.
Ray
Got it.
Paul
You know what I mean? It's not like I'm a dad that gets off at 5. Walk in the door at 5:30 and boom. I've had no rest time, honey.
Ray
I banged my secretary.
Paul
Sorry, it's a little late. Sex session. Ran over. And so I'm like, all right, cool. And we get there and first thing I see is there's a pumpkin in the parking lot. I just sitting there by one of the parking. Little blocks. You know those little, I don't know what you call them, parking blockers. So you don't go into the grass. Yeah, there's a pumpkin, it's uncarved. And I immediately yell out, who wants to smash a pumpkin?
Ray
Devil's night.
Paul
I mean, why not? It's already after Halloween. We're at a random city park and there's just a pumpkin sitting there.
Ray
Yeah, he's only hit your own car.
Paul
I'm like, why do we not want to smash this? So here come all the kids out into the parking lot and boom. One person smashes it, breaks in two. Then there's two pieces, two kids get it, and then they are all just taking little pieces and smashing this pumpkin on all over the parking lot.
Ray
From an environmental standpoint, it's got to be biodegradable 100%.
Paul
And then the possums are going to come at night. Raccoons, they're going to eat that. Squirrels, whatever else, little varmints are going to eat that thing. Absolutely beautiful red foxes. Only problem is I didn't know any of these other parents and I'm encouraging their kids to come out in the parking lot and smash pumpkins. So I don't know what they felt about it because they didn't say Anything to me. They just. I just saw him looking over and I'm like, I got all these kids in the parking lot. And when cars would drive by, I'd be like, all right, car, move out of the parking lot. All right. Smashing on. And we'd smash pumpkins. So fun.
Ray
Where's your wife? Come into play.
Paul
Well, then, all right. I was like, all right, I think we're done. Smashing Pumpkins. Everybody back to the playground. And I go, and there's my wife. There's another mom. Another mom. Whoa. And another mom. So my wife didn't tell me. She failed to tell me that it was going to be moms with their kids at the playground. She made it sound like this was a family outing for every family. And so I'm the only dad there.
Ray
You had to know Wall Street Wally isn't going to be there. Broadway Ben isn't going to be there.
Paul
Well, here's the problem. I don't know these people, so I don't know what Wall Street Wally does. I don't know what Big Street Ben does. I have no idea. I just assumed. The way she made it sound is that the families were going to the playground and this was our chance to meet some more families.
Ray
You got to know that the dads are all my neighborhood. It's me and the retired army people, the vets that are there, and the day trader guy. We're the only people in the neighborhood the entire day.
Paul
I thought maybe these people work odd hours. If they're gonna. The dads, you know, the family's gonna be there 3, 30, 4 o'. Clock. I mean, I think it's gonna be great. Bonding. What's up? How you doing? Nice to meet you. Instead, the cackle of women are just standing in a circle talking.
Ray
Oh, yeah, he's good in bed.
Paul
I'm like, well, what am I gonna do? So I just gotta stand off to the side because I'm like, well, I'm not in the hen circle. Like, they're just chatting.
Ray
Have you guys started using swing sets?
Paul
So I just look like a creepy dude standing at the playground, off to the side, twiddling my thumbs. I'm like, well, I don't know what to do.
Ray
So, girl, save the kids. Handcuffs. Trust me.
Paul
So then I just call my sister and I get on the phone. I'm just like, oh, I'm out awkwardly at the park. Don't worry. My wife decided that we were going to do a playground meetup and she didn't inform me there was going to be no other dads here, so I have no one to talk to. So I thought I'd call you and just catch up on life.
Ray
Most people would say you're being a. But not me. I actually agree with you on this one, because when it's Baser and Jessica or Bazer and Heather, they will take off, and there's no catching them. You can't keep up in conversation.
Paul
Correct. You can't.
Ray
Oh, my panties. Oh, my thong. I. I'm not relating to that stuff. I have nothing to add.
Paul
Yeah, I had a run in my pantyhose. Don't know anything about it. Oh, I got these new high heels. Don't know anything about those. I got some pumps. Don't know what those are. Cool. I'm going to be over here. I'm going to be Paul, and I'm going to leave y' all alone.
Ray
And now that everybody's got a podcast, I swear, Bazer and her friends, they all now will tell stories that are four minutes long. And I'm like, I ain't got four minutes. I'm not even going to try and interject here. I'm going to run. And I just yell it and walk out.
Paul
Yeah. So I just kind of went over, talked to my sister for a while, chatted up, talked about, you know, Halloween, how her weekend was, this, that, the other.
Ray
Do you act like it was a business call? Oh, some sponsors for the big show?
Paul
No, because they. They were far enough away from me. They didn't even notice that I was there. They were in their little circle, and I was over. They were by the swings, and I was over by the slide, just like. And my wife wasn't like, hey, come over and chat with us. You know what I mean? Like, it felt like they were deep in conversation. Women talk. And so I was like, all right. So I talked to my sister, and I got done. And then baby box is died. Dad, dad, can we play the monster game? And I'm like, all right, I guess if you guys want to play the monster game, we can play the monster game. And the monster game is. Whereas I am the monster. And I say, you know, I'm getting kind of hungry, and you know what? I want to eat a kid sandwich Now. Chase. The kids love it. So fun. Great.
Ray
Most dads can't do it. They got higher voices, and they can't.
Paul
Do it because they're not athletic and they. But here's the problem. I still have my stomach pain, so it's a little harder to move around. So I really kind of walked.
Ray
Oh, I thought that was just on the big show.
Paul
No, no, it's a real deal, man. Oh. I haven't played soccer in, like, a month because I can't freaking move.
Ray
Jeez, man. I told you guys about plantar fasciitis, how bad it was, and then all of a sudden, I hear, now you can't run anymore. Bones from the big show. He said he hasn't played pickleball in six months or something. I told you guys it's bad when you can't run.
Paul
No, it's awful. And so that's why we haven't had any soccer stories.
Ray
None of you guys emphasize empathized.
Paul
I empathized. Thought you're being a little. To be honest with you, you just didn't want to play basketball anyway. So I start playing with my three kids, and one of the ladies. Two kids. The other two ladies left. So it's now down to just two families.
Ray
Perfect three way.
Paul
And so then all of a sudden, these random kids start getting involved. Tag me. Tag me. And I'm like, wait, that are not from the families. Yeah, they're not from the families.
Ray
I'm like, you can do the air tag.
Paul
Like, am I allowed to tag them?
Ray
No.
Paul
Are they allowed to play? So then they come and tag you, and you're. We got like, 12 kids playing monster game, and I'm. You know. And one time I stick my arm through the bars because they're going across the bridge. My arm got stuck.
Ray
That's fine.
Paul
No, no, it's stuck in between the bars. Chain link. No, no, no. Metal pole bars. And I'm like, oh, God. Oh. Oh, God.
Ray
You can still do the morning show, though, without your leg and arm.
Paul
And so I'm sitting there, and I mean, it took me a good three to four minutes to, like.
Ray
Did you tell them you were in trouble?
Paul
No, she said, like, I was still trying to get him. Like, I was trying not to be panicked.
Ray
Good acting, dad.
Paul
But deep down, I'm going, oh, my gosh. They're gonna have to call the fire department. They're gonna cut my arm out. They're gonna have to cut the poles.
Ray
You got to do ice. There's ways around it.
Paul
And so I'm like, it was kind of bend it, turn it. Got it out. I mean, my elbow area was so red from being stuck in there for the four minutes it was. And I was like, guys, I need a timeout. I need a timeout. And then that's when I sauntered over and talked to the Other mom and my wife. I finally got in on the conversation. I was like, guys, you almost had to call the fire department. My arm got stuck in the poles.
Ray
They're like, oh my gosh, that's so cool, man. Try and get it stuck over here.
Paul
But then finally, another dad showed up. Nice.
Ray
Was he unemployed?
Paul
He walks up, hair's all messy, and he's like, what's up? And I was like, hey. And he grabs one of the kids, goes and gets a car and drives away.
Ray
He didn't really want to talk.
Paul
I was like, oh, I thought he was coming to hang out.
Ray
Like, he's also probably looking at like, oh, it must be nice, dad. You're able to have fun times with your kids. I'm exhausted from work. I don't even feel like running around. I'm going to a couch right now. Much less playing toy cars.
Paul
Correct. And he just picked up one of the kids and left. And I was like, oh, thought he was coming to hang out.
Ray
You got to realize dad used to pick us up from stuff. Didn't even come. He would sit in his truck, all the other parents talking. How's it going? How is the coal mine? Good, good, good. How's parent teacher stuff? Good, good, good, good. My dad sit in his truck doing business calls the entire, hey, dad, we're done with first grade. Dad go in his truck back to the lumber mill.
Paul
Yeah. And I was like, oh, I thought he was going to hang out. And she was like, oh, he was going to, but my younger son had to go poop. So he was, he was taking him home to go poop. I'm like, there's a porta Potty right there. That's cool, man. I'll just hang out with you guys again. You know, I'll just be here and hang out and do nothing. And so that was my Monday night. I got to hang out at the playground with a bunch of kids and a bunch of women. When my wife said, oh, there's gonna be families, she didn't freaking tell me there's gonna be no dads.
Ray
Were the moms unemployed? Stay at homes?
Paul
I. I don't know what they did because I didn't talk to them.
Ray
Just wonder how they're able to swing it. I know you because of your odd hours.
Paul
Yes, my odd hours.
Ray
This meet up at a 3:30.
Paul
Yeah.
Ray
Average person can't do that now.
Paul
The average person can't.
Ray
So maybe 12 kids. I get the kids. How are parents able to be there? And why are his people not at.
Paul
Daycares It's a great question. I don't know. They. I. I don't know how everybody does it, but one guy was sitting on the bench, and I was playing the monster game, and he goes, oh, I wish I had half the energy you have. Thanks, man. Good talk.
Ray
What, are you gonna try to sleep with my wife?
Paul
I didn't know. He wasn't part of our group. He was part of the randoms. Oh, he was random kids.
Ray
He also might have been recovering.
Paul
Yeah. And then there was two homeless people that camp underneath the gazebo. They had all their stuff, and one started smoking a cigarette. I'd rather him smoke weed. That cigarette smoke was just blowing onto the playground, just reeking. And we're standing there, and he goes, trick or treat.
Ray
That's actually funny.
Paul
And that's why I told the kids, hey, boys, time to go. Time to go.
Ray
Calendar's off four days.
Paul
I said, I don't know what's going on. But he said, trick or treat. Don't know what that means in homeless lingo, but we got to go. And so we bailed out of there, man. And then we went across the street to get something to eat, and my kids want turkey, so I got. Can I get a three turkey sandwiches, please? Oh, sorry, we're out of turkey. Dude, how can you be out of Turkey? It's only 5:15.
Ray
Yeah, it's easy out.
Paul
Yeah. Okay. All right. We'll take three pork sandwiches. We're out of pork turkey. What do you have then? How can. It's 5:15. The dinner rush hasn't even started, and you're out of those items, so. All right, man, we'll have a good evening. We're not gonna eat here.
Ray
Hungover Monday. Yeah. Taco Bell near me. I go there. They used to have these steak chalupas that were amazing.
Paul
Yeah.
Ray
One of my favorite things at Taco Bell. I order it. We no longer have those. Well, I'm. But I'm actually staring at them on the menu. Yeah, we just haven't updated our graphic yet. Okay, that's fine. I'll get the chicken chalupas. We don't have those. I'm actually staring at those as well on the menu. They're both taking up the entire menu, and they're my favorite product. Yeah. Corporate just hasn't sent over the new graphics, but we don't have any of that entire left hand panel. Awesome.
Paul
And maybe put some tape over it or, like, an X. So we don't even look at the menu and get excited about that item. But no, it's cool man. I'll just order. That's when you go, okay, what about this? And you order something else from the left side of the menu and they're like sir, I just told you that we don't have that.
Ray
Well, and you know how the graphics are. It's covered the entire left hand column. So really now all I see are drinks and I can get a cheese roll. I guess I'll get the kids cheese roll and a fountain drink. That's all I can see on your menu.
Paul
Oh, sorry, we're out of cheese, man. We'll take a break. We'll be right back.

Jacob Goldstein
And now we're back making this new podcast called Business History, about the best ideas and people and businesses in history.
Robert Smith
And some of the worst people, horrible ideas, and destructive companies in the history of business. Having a genius idea without a need for it is nothing. It's like not having it at all.
Jacob Goldstein
It's a very simple, elegant lesson. Make something people want. First episode, how Southwest Airlines use cheap seats and free whiskey to fight its way into the airline business.
Robert Smith
The most Texas story ever.
Jacob Goldstein
There's a lot of mavericks in that story. We're going to have mavericks on the show. We're going to have plenty of robber barons.
Robert Smith
So many robber barons. And you know what? They're not all bad.
Jacob Goldstein
And we'll talk about some of the classic great moments of famous business geniuses, along with some of the darker moments that often get overlooked, like Thomas Edison and the electric chair. Listen to business history on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Ray
Hey, I told you I wanted to talk about something.
Paul
This is where I was gonna give you the floor.
Ray
So, Morgan Wallen tickets go on sale for where? There's no Nashville. Closest to Chicago. Also a Vegas. I thought maybe I could talk Baser into that. They're supposed to send me a code last night because it's a pre sale. Morgan Wallen. 20 cities? No, all next year.
Paul
Got it.
Ray
So I keep checking my email. Maybe it comes right at the time. No, these are all Mike D and Steve. They said they were going to send me a code for pre sale. They never sent me a code.
Paul
Well, here's the thing, Ray. Do you know where you work? Yeah. Do you understand you don't need to buy tickets?
Ray
These are the high demand, though. And not in a city. It's not here.
Paul
What? What city you trying to go to?
Ray
Chicago. Okay, Soldier Field, you got L. Langley. Gavin. Gavin Adcock. Bazer's favorite. And Wallen.
Paul
Okay.
Ray
Do it on a Saturday night in June. Everything's going to be perfect. Okay, I ain't got a pre sale code.
Paul
All right, but you do have a phone number that you can text. There's two phone numbers you can text.
Ray
Gator.
Paul
No, above him.
Ray
Bones.
Paul
Ding. I mean, what are you waiting on? Why would you not hit him up immediately?
Ray
How the heck does he hook up a Morgan Wallen ticket. Have you ever hit Up Bones for tickets?
Paul
No, because I don't care to go to anything. I don't. Concerts aren't my thing.
Ray
Well, he hooked me up with Eldridge because it was here, a local show, and it's his friend.
Paul
Dang.
Ray
I didn't think him and Wallen Boys, and it's in Chicago.
Paul
You don't think he has people at the. All over the place.
Ray
Yeah, but if I can afford them, I'm fine with paying. Why?
Paul
Why would you pay for them? That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard.
Ray
Because pre scalped. I can get them probably a good seats for me and Bazer, 150 a pop.
Paul
No chance.
Ray
Yeah, before they go on the Ticketmaster resale and people start trying to get them for 800 so they're doable, is what I'm saying, with this dang code. But I'm like, so is the demand that high that I didn't even get selected to get a code to get into the pre sale to get a chance at these tickets that. Are we dealing with the Beatles right now with this Wallen guy?
Paul
Well, Paul McCordon McCartney, speaking of the Beatles, is coming to Nashville. I see it on the billboard right across the way.
Ray
It's like, Nashville, Paul's coming back. When did he leave the 70s?
Paul
No, he came five or six years ago. Maybe more than that, because I went to the show.
Ray
Oh, did you really?
Paul
Yeah, Cousin Andrew flew in because he wanted to see Paul McCartney for the Beatles. Dude, let me tell you. We went to Bridgestone Abbey Road. I fell asleep.
Ray
Wasn't good.
Paul
It's awful.
Ray
Well, he's coming back.
Paul
It was so freaking boring. And it was so slow. And he started like an hour, at least an hour late. It was awful, dude.
Ray
But some of those. We've went to Billy Joel because Baser loves Billy Joel. It's a slower show.
Paul
Does Billy Joel sing Piano Man?
Ray
They both have a version. So you got me.
Paul
Okay.
Ray
He sings Piano Man. You got Elton John sings Piano Man. I don't know.
Paul
No, I think they both do. One of them. John has Rocket Man.
Ray
Sing us a song. It's the Piano Man.
Paul
Yeah, I don't know who that is.
Ray
I think that's Billy Joel.
Paul
I don't know.
Ray
But we don't prepare for those shows. They're more relaxed. So I don't. I think Paul McCartney. You went in there thinking it's gonna be Aldean.
Paul
No, no, I just didn't notice. I mean, let's say, let's be real. Like, some of the Beatles songs I'd heard of. He didn't play him like, he was playing all this new stuff. And I was like, my God, get me out of here. But I slept while my cousin watched the show, and I was just like, all right, Whenever it's over, you let me know. This is. This is God awful. But my cousin did go to his most recent show, the one that's coming here. He went to the one in San Antonio.
Ray
How is he such a fan of such an older gentleman?
Paul
Dude, that's all he listens to is old music. Let me check my junk folder. Because his parents would listen to oldies, and when he was a kid, he loved it. So when we used to have Name that Tune tournaments, he came with his frat brothers, and they got hammered. And they all had their specialty. He was oldies. And they made it all the way to, like, the semifinals.
Ray
Really?
Paul
They were so good, but also they were so drunk. The bartender at Main Event. Is that where we had it? I don't know where we had it. Main Event, maybe told him, no more alcohol for you guys.
Ray
Well, if you're going to come to.
Paul
A work event now, they were in college.
Ray
The question is, is he dating? Is he. Does he have a wife?
Paul
He does have a wife.
Ray
Now, does she go to the stuff with him?
Paul
I think she does go to the stuff with him. I don't know if she likes it.
Ray
But she does go with him because he baser tries. She's gone to Billy Joel with her dad before me wants. And then the Trisha stuff, she'll go with her dad. Family, it's a little bit slower. But, Wallen, we go to together. Garth, we go to together. We're gonna go to Adcock together. But it rained, bad weather. But, Wallen, the fact that we can go to it together is just a good show.
Paul
Yeah, like cousin Andrew, he goes with his mom and dad, usually to the shows.
Ray
I mean, baser goes with her dad.
Paul
That's what I'm saying. He likes the old stuff, so he'll go with his parents. He even goes with my dad sometimes and my mom.
Ray
Have you told him, though, Paul's coming back? Nashville, The Billboards been up for a week.
Paul
But he's already been to Paul. So I don't think you're going to see Paul twice in one tour. That is the one thing.
Ray
Because in it, okay, it rotates about every fifth slide.
Paul
Why does anybody go to the same show in the same tour? Because isn't it the same show in Every city.
Ray
Yeah, they'll different openers. But if it's the show itself. Yeah, it's the same show.
Paul
That's when I don't understand. That's maybe one I don't get. Maybe they'll play one different song. But I just can't see loving someone enough to fly from Philadelphia after seeing him in Philadelphia and then going to see him in Los Angeles.
Ray
And sometimes. Maybe this is just the outspiders or out Spiders. Devil's Advocate.
Paul
Okay, got it.
Ray
What if one show they want to see completely sloshed and one show be sober for?
Paul
That's a good point. I didn't think about that.
Ray
I mean, because sometimes when you're hammered for a show, you're like, dang it. Was there a special guest? What? Taylor came out with Tim McGraw. Dude, I was so drunk one time at CMA, Taylor came out with Tim McGraw, and they sang Tim McGraw and everybody's talking about it at the radio station. I was like, they played that song together. I'll be. I was there. Yeah.
Paul
That's like.
Ray
That's the worst.
Paul
When I went to go see Jay Z and Eminem at Yankee Stadium, right?
Ray
And I don't even know the story.
Paul
And Bob opened for them.
Ray
They're good.
Paul
Bob. That's such a good song. I'm the airplanes in the night sky.
Ray
Like, airplane.
Paul
So Paul's back. He's on the Billboard and we're on Netflix.
Ray
It says Paul McCartney got back.
Paul
So is he bringing Justin Timberlake up? But anyway, so this dude Bob is playing, and we're on the outfield grass. Like, that's where our chairs are. And he is standing on that chair, and he is just loving it. He's going hard, and he is so hyped. He's down in the freaking tall boys. He's smoking weed. Just. I mean, probably smoked two blunts. Just. Wow. Just drinking. And then the lights go out, it gets dark, and Eminem comes out. Dude just passed out in his chair.
Ray
Bob.
Paul
No, the guy in front of me. So he did not see one song of Eminem or Jay Z because he was so hyped for the concert that he was just going so hard during Bob that he passed out.
Ray
That's the worst, too. You wake up now, we have Twitter videos, Instagram. You can kind of catch up. But I'm sure when you went to that.
Paul
Oh, that was. Yeah, it was a long time ago.
Ray
You would literally miss the performances.
Paul
He missed everything. He did not see a single second of Eminem or Jay Z.
Ray
You wake him up hey, dude, he just played Lose yourself.
Paul
Hey. But. Hey, man, did you. Did you know. He just did stand. What? What? Where am I, man?
Ray
Hey, Mockingbird. He just did that.
Paul
Oh, my gosh. I've never seen. I. That is one I've never seen.
Ray
Mockingbird, don't cry. Mama's gonna buy you a lullaby.
Paul
That's like. We went to Vegas, dude, one year, and Ryan wanted to go see Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga. Pass. Okay. And we were playing blackjack at the Cosmo all day, and Ryan spilled two drinks on the freaking blackjack table. Two. Not one, but two in our session. Don't know him. And yeah, he's the gay guy that tells me what outfits look like crap and what don't.
Ray
Never met him.
Paul
Never met him. Oh, sorry. I'll have Ryan introduce himself. Anyway, so we're like, we gotta go get ready. We gotta go get ready for the show. Dude, we got. And we go upstairs and we get a text. I'm not gonna make it. Like, what do you mean? I'm throwing up. Ryan was so hammered, he missed Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga. The whole reason we went. Whole reason we were in Vegas was to see Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga. And he got so drunk, he was vomiting, and in. In the Cosmo, you have the windows that open up above the bathtub. And for some reason, he went in the bathroom, locked the door, and then climbed out through the window and closed the door. Closed the window. Like, he slid it back closed. And then he couldn't figure out how to get back in the bathroom when he needed to throw up again.
Ray
So on top of all that, he's dealing with desert cold while you guys are at the concert.
Paul
Yeah. He was so freaking mad.
Ray
We had that. Not the drunk part, but we had Shania Twain for. Was it last Thanksgiving? Because it was also Laura's birthday. My parents bought her the tickets, so we knew not to over drink because you want to experience it. Mom and dad bought the tickets. Usually it's good to have a concert because it breaks up the gambling and breaks up the drinking.
Paul
Yes.
Ray
Whereas for the guy at Bob, it didn't for him and it didn't for your boy.
Paul
Yeah, that's like. We were in Vegas at the Cosmo. My wife and I, she used to do the promotions for the Cosmopolitan, and we were there for Red Hot Chili Peppers. They were doing the New Year's Eve show, and so we're there a night early, and the Black Keys were playing at the Hard Rock. Pass. I don't even know who they are. But other people from her work were going. They're like, hey, we're going to leave two tickets at the will call for you. And so we go down and we're playing blackjack right by where the sports book is now. And we're drinking, and she's having their little Cosmopolitan drinks. And we sit there, and there's two moms that sit down, and they're there for their daughter's 21st birthday. The daughter doesn't turn 21 till midnight, so they're down there just gambling and drinking until they turn. She turns 21 at midnight and can come out of the room.
Ray
Oh, that's motherly.
Paul
Yeah. And we sit there with them for, like three and a half hours. And then Lauren's like, ah, we better go up, get ready for the show. And she stands up, goes, I'm so drunk. I gotta go to bed.
Ray
Your wife.
Paul
So I gotta go to bed. I didn't realize how drunk I was. I stood up. We gotta go to the room. I don't want to pass out.
Ray
Oh, no.
Paul
And I'm like, what? So, yeah, it's not good. I gotta go. I gotta go.
Ray
She pulled her gay friend.
Paul
She pulled a Ryan. But this was before Ryan pulled his. This is before pre Ryan. So we go up to the room, and I'm like, stop. We're going to the show. Get up. I can't. I can't. I'm like. And I'm thinking, she's going to get in trouble. Because I thought it was a work thing. Like, they all had to go to the Black Keys.
Ray
You got to go to this.
Paul
And so I start playing their songs. I said, you gotta go. I don't even know who the Black Keys are. Still don't know who they are. Don't know the song they sing.
Ray
We gotta go. The Black Keys. Don't you want to hear it?
Paul
I was like, I don't even know who they are. She's like, I'm going to bed. I'm going to bed. And she goes to bed. I was like, well, I'm gonna go to the show. Then. I gotta go so you don't get in trouble. She's like, but then the tickets are under my name. I was like, I'll take your id. Give me your ID and our taker id. And I go to the Hard Rock. And I walk up to the ticket window. I was like, yeah, I'm here to pick up tickets. All right. Is she with you?
Ray
Yeah, she's in my back pocket.
Paul
I'm like, yeah, she's she's in my wallet, dude. Like, what? No, she's not with me. She's drunk. She passed out in the room. Sorry, we can't give you the tickets. What? I mean, if she's not with you. We don't know that. I mean, how do we know that you didn't mug her in the parking lot and steal her id?
Ray
How did I know that she would have tickets here at Will Call?
Paul
That's exactly what I said.
Ray
Drunk. You thinks the same. I said, still logically.
Paul
Oh, my. How would I know that some woman in the parking lot had tickets to.
Ray
This concert of nobody I've heard of?
Paul
Yeah, I don't. I don't even know who this band is.
Ray
They won't even sell out.
Paul
And they're like, sorry, I can't give them to you. I was like, all right, I'll show you guys. I'll just walk in. So drunk, me, put her ID in the wallet. Put my wallet in the back pocket. Kind of walked over where the entrance was. Waited till someone was checking someone's tickets. Whoa. Beelined it right in there.
Ray
You showed them?
Paul
Then I got grabbed. Excuse me, sir, where are you going? I'm going in the concert. Do you have a ticket? I said, well, my wife has tickets that will call, but they won't give them to me because I'm not her. I have her id. Sandy, we got this guy here. What do you want me to do? What do you want me to do? I'll just go ahead and give him one. Don't give them both of them.
Ray
Okay. Because he's really gonna do a lot with two of them.
Paul
Yeah. It's like, all right, we're gonna go ahead and give you one. Go back over to the window after the break in. After the break in.
Ray
They're negotiating with a criminal.
Paul
Yeah. Instead of throwing me in jail, they give me my ticket and I go in. I don't know why I'm there now. And I just thought maybe her work was gonna check. Will call to see if the tickets were picked up. I don't know.
Ray
Sure.
Paul
Because I'm hammered. I just. My logical thinking is not there. So I watched this show.
Ray
There's no way you stayed for the whole thing.
Paul
Oh, I did.
Ray
How drunk were you?
Paul
Really drunk.
Ray
I was gonna say, I would have been two songs like, well, I can squeeze in some blackjack before bed.
Paul
All right, so I'm Hammer.
Ray
I did my due, dilute diligence, and.
Paul
I'm like, all right, man, I'm gonna go ahead and leave the concerts leaving. I'm like, I'm gonna go get a cab back to the Cosmopolitan. And that cab line was so freaking long. I was like, I'll just wait a little bit. I'll play some blackjack. I sit down, play blackjack. Playing $5 a hand, $10 a hand. Then I get done, I have all these chips. I'm like, oh my gosh, I won some money. And I go to the cashier. The chips I playing with were $25 chips. They weren't $5.
Robert Smith
Sheesh.
Paul
That's how drunk I was. And then I go back to the cab line. Still a mile long.
Ray
Play more.
Paul
No, I was like, ah, Cosmo's just right there. Just right there, man. I'm just gonna walk.
Ray
You think it's not far, but my.
Paul
God, dude, it may have been two miles and this is December 31st. December 30th.
Ray
Cold.
Paul
It was 17 degrees outside. I had a short sleeve shirt on and I walked my ass from the Hard Rock all the way to the Cosmo. All because I thought my wife was gonna get in trouble with her work for not picking up tickets at will call. We'll take a break. We'll be right back.

Pretty stupid, huh?
Ray
Yeah, it's the too much drinking get you because your wife then feels guilty because she didn't even go to the show. And then you kind of felt guilty because you just went to a random concert solo instead of probably being some sort of bedside manner. Nurturing.
Paul
Yeah, I don't know. It was just a drunken, like, oh my gosh, we have to go. I've got to do this. It was bad, man. And my wife was hungover all the next day. She had to carry a Gatorade bottle with her all day, worried she was gonna vomit. She had to do a meet and greet with the, the drummer from the Red Hot Chili Peppers and she had to run it and she had to run out of the room in the middle of it because she thought she was gonna vomit. I guess a bad day for her.
Ray
I'm glad you told me that though, because if Black Keys ever come anywhere to Nashville or near us, I'm be like, hey, y' all want to go?
Paul
You should. Because I, dude, I. I don't even know what they sing. Like, I don't know anything about them. Like, I don't know their music. I don't know who's in the. I have no idea what they do. But there was a lot of people there and they were so excited to be there. They loved them.
Ray
It's impressive your wife got that. Hammered it when having to work an event the next day.
Paul
Oh I don't think she meant to. She didn't realize how bad those cosmos were whooping her ass.
Ray
Got it.
Paul
But hey, we got an email. Coachers bro, coach. Looking forward to CC5 but I need deals. Where is the extra stuff? Is there a preferred hotel? Inquiring minds want to know. The twin and I are trying to make plans because I'm not missing another one. The twins birthday is November 1st. Can you give him a birthday shout out? Sam Hill aka the Twin, aka Worst Dressed at CC3. Lastly, I am a senior human resources business partner since you asked us to tell us your profession and anytime we email. So here you are and here you have it. I'll hang up and listen. Lori. Yeah. Happy birthday twin. I don't know how you're feeling. Your cowboys making some big trades but they still suck. You still not. You're still rocking that gear. But happy birthday. We'll see at CC5. Yes Lori, they are. We're going to get the extras up, I promise. Preferred hotel? I don't know. People stay all over. People do Airbnbs at little complexes because people have different price ranges. I, I, it's not Westgate where we are all at one hotel. I wish it was but we don't have that. But yes, we are going to get the extra add ons up very very soon.
Ray
You'll like. So bro, we've stayed there the last couple times and it's always at the heart of everything. Usually you'll have a nice little patio. It's a penthouse view, you got a hot tub and it's pretty affordable and nobody knows about it so just type in placemaker. So bro, me and Bazer have done it and love it and you've told me about the one. I mean it's all a cab right away. It's, it's really is, I mean it's Broadway into mumbling. It's, it's right there.
Paul
Yeah and I mean no problem. You can get lost anywhere. Don't worry Laurie, you're gonna lose your voice so that won't matter. So you won't be able to. Hey, where's the cab? And Sam will get lost so you want to worry about that or you'll get lost and Sam will have to go looking for you and he'll miss the party bus. I don't remember which one happened if you got lost or he got. But both of you were not on the party bus. That's a disaster waiting to happen. So. Yeah, don't worry, you're going to be fine. And then, coachers, when will we find out about the CC5 weekend activities? Looking to book flights and lodging. I want to be certainly locked in for the activities. Also, could you let Abby, Amy and Morgan know the dates so they can come for a visit? Thanks. Leilani. Leilani.
Ray
We haven't booked our hotel yet, so if that tells you anything.
Paul
Yeah, Leilani, I'm telling you, just book that weekend. I'm telling you, the happy hour will probably be six o' clock on that Friday night. Six to eight, five, seven to nine. I'm not sure the exact two hours, but six to eight is probably right. Why are you laughing?
Ray
I mean, you're like you said six to eight, seven to nine, that's a one hour difference. But it's still a three hour. I was actually thinking of dinner. But it's the happy hour.
Paul
It's the happy hour.
Ray
Okay.

This episode encapsulates the Sore Losers’ distinctive blend of comedic self-mockery, cultural commentary, and relatable stories from dad life and fandom. Their alleged Netflix debut is more a running joke than breaking news, but it spurs fun discussions about the wild world of podcasting, streaming trends, and what it would actually mean to take the leap onto a big platform.
