The Bobby Bones Show - SORE LOSERS: How Did Thanksgiving go so Wrong?

Episode Date: December 6, 2025

In this episode Lunchbox talks about how everything went wrong on Thanksgiving from getting lost on a hike in the mountains to the TV not being close to where he watch and the turkey fryer not working when it was time to fry the turkey. Plus the coldest round of golf was played in the mountains of North Carolina and how awful Lunchbox felt after the round. Of course the trip wouldn't be complete unless someone got sick and someone threw up in the car on the ride home! Happy Thanksgiving! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On our latest episode, we got comedian, Blake Anderson from Workaholics and The Hilarious. This is Important Podcast. Let's go. We did beat them in improv.

You had an improv against the team? Yes. We would pull up their schools would be there with signs for us. It's competition. What you would win is a bottle of gold slager. James Fester threw it out of a van because he didn't want to. As a drinking in. For more games with names, visit the Iheart Radio app or wherever you get your podcast.

Welcome back, man. I'm going to tell you what. I was here two days ago. I understand. You told me that. You came up here, brought the family, showed them around. Did you come in here and show them the, that's why the sore losers is on the screen. Had to show that off?

That's pretty cool. We could show all of our listeners on the web, but we don't ever do the cameras. As Burleson pointed out, it was like, the Broncos. offense. I said, it's hard to watch. And he goes, sort of like the sore losers podcast on YouTube. That's funny. I laughed. I said, well played. Well played. And I mean, I have so many stories. Roll them. From this trip, this Thanksgiving holiday, the break, the adventure to North Carolina, Thanksgiving Day, the adventure back. But I'm going to tell you, I am so annoyed.

I sat down last night to watch football. And I mean, if Chris Collins Worth, I was about to jump out a window. Where did you say, Mariata or what? He kept saying, Marcus, mariatta, Marietta, Marioata, Marietta, Mara. And he was so, ta, ta, ta, how do you say it? Mariotta. Marioita. He lived here.

No, no, no. He lived here. Apparently he's Asian now. Marcus? I thought he was Hawaiian, but now he's. he's Asian. Mariotta. Ta. I mean, it was like, dude, stop. Marcus Mariotta.

Ta. Ta. Ta. And I was like, am I the only one hearing this? This is the first time I've ever heard it pronounced this way. And I thought he was being funny at first. But he did it over and over and over. And it was so over the top that I almost had to put the damn thing on mute. Somebody had to have recorded it. somebody had to Mario Ta. Every time that he had the ball.

Every, oh, Marriota! It throws the ball. Marriota throws the ball. I mean, what are we doing? Oh, nice run by Mariotta. Did he have to possess the ball a lot, so you were hearing it? Yeah, I mean, it was a very weird, I just knocked some things over. I wish I would record it. I didn't even think about that, Ray.

That would have been so smart. And I'm curious, was Jane Daniels, what happened to him? He dislocated his elbow, man. You can still play. What arm? Left arm. He's right-handed. Yeah, I don't think you can play.

Here we go. You ready? Let's see here. That was Tariqa. That was Tariqa. He's picked by the veteran Trey Greenlaw. As Jaden Gaines watches from the bottom. So Marcus Marietta is one of the real smart guys playing quarterback.

But this was really unsmartial. He's going to run up, jump up in the air, have no vision way through the ball whatsoever, and throw it right into the hands of Greenlaw. That is just, you cannot even come up with an excuse for that. Oh, dude, I mean, it wasn't as bad as you said. Except to number six on the season for Mariotta. That was Trico. No, no, that was Trico. But I'm telling you, Collinsworth was the one doing Mario Tazzo.

Mario Ta, Mario Ta. I'm never going to look at them the same again. Every time I see Marioita, I'm going to say Mariotta, Marriota. It was the most annoying thing in the world. Well, I already put my Mario Ta jersey on the dead skeleton for Halloween. Titans have died, seasons over. We are the worst sports city in America right now. We have the worst hockey team and the worst football team.

That's a round of applause for the city of Nashville. But we got the number one party scene. And we got the number one podcast convention. in February, so that's a good idea. Well said. Yeah. Now, let's start the show because I do believe our last show, we never started the show. It doesn't matter. Nobody needs to know what show they're listening to.

They just need to be people they're talking to. Boomer said he listened to us for two hours on the way home to Michigan, so kids are listening again. That's what I like to hear, because we listen to us zero on the way home from North Carolina. Zero percent zero. Did we hear the podcast? Six, seven. That's so the kids will listen. Oh.

All right. We're going to do it live. Six, seven. We are the one, two, three. So, losers. What up, everybody. I am lunchbox. I know the most about sports.

So I give you the sports facts, my sports opinions, because I'm pretty much a sports genius. Y'all, it's Cizzen Ray Mundo from the north. I'm an alpha male. I live on the north side of Nashville with Beezer, at the family in town. We were all there in the country.

It was awesome. We got 2.2 kids at Vanderbilt. We will release a secret about that little story of our lives on a three-minute post-podcast post that's going to come at the very end of this one. But yeah, we got, what do we have? 2.333 acres and I have a heart attack when I'm 72. If any of that made any sense, probably not. Over to you, man.

Oh, Ray, let me tell you about Thanksgiving, man. What a trip to North Carolina. I mean, it was so awesome. Wait. Did you go there? Because Bones, new favorite teams, the Panthers? No. No, that's not why I went. I went because my wife's aunt lives in North Carolina. So I was like, all right, yeah, holidays with my wife's family. Let's go for Thanksgiving. Here's the problem. It was a three-bedroom house. Okay. Luke Combs live there? No, Luke Combs doesn't live there. But my wife's aunt lives there.

then my in-laws were there. That's three people. My family is five. That's eight people. More like outlaws. That's eight people. My sister-in-law, that's nine people. My wife's cousin, her husband, two kids.

That's 13 people. Stop. My wife's brother, his wife and two kids. How many people is that right? 17 people. Six, seven. In one house. Yeah, see, I'm not, and I, I am.

a huge proponent for no more than five to ten people in a normal size house. We, just because it's a holiday doesn't mean we need people sleeping on the floors. I've been saying it forever. Oh, so we had air mattresses a plenty all over the place, didn't have enough pillows

for everyone in the house. I had to use a stack of towels for a pillow. Well, it's better than what the guy down in the street slept on last night. That's a great point. At least I had heat in this house. Oh, wait. It was so freaking cold in the mountains of North Carolina once I got there.

Apparently, it's beautiful all week. I get there. It's in the 40s. And I'm bundled up, freezing my off. Were you guys ready to make it warm? Uh, not with that many people in the house. That's what I'm saying. Could you squeeze one of those in?

No, couldn't have any privacy whatsoever. I mean, heck, sleeping on couches. I mean, people sleeping on the middle of the floor, tripping over an animal, you know, got the dog with us. Pure pandemon. You can't ever get your toothbrush. Oh, yeah, yeah. I'll just shower with a little kid, you know?

Yeah. Oh, no, no. My kids only took, they were there for a week. They only took one shower. Smart. I mean, they're only playing around all day. Yeah, they're only playing around all day. And you don't want to stop the fun to have time to shower.

So, like, it's like, hey, guys, just whatever. It's 10 o'clock. We don't need to shower. We'll shower tomorrow. Then the next day, it's like 10.30. Ah, don't worry. We'll shower the next day. Then it's like 9.30.

Ah, we'll shower the next day. So they showered last night when they got home. So your house smells like, North Carolina. Basically. Got clothes thrown everywhere because I was like, hurry, we got to get to bed. We got to get to bed. But anyway, so I get there Wednesday night. You know what I mean? I'm all excited. All right, let's do this. This is going to be so fun. Yeah. Show up. Everybody's already had dinner. They saved me a good two and a half slices of pizza that they had on Wednesday night. Cool. Thanks. That's really going to fill me up. You flew or drove? I flew family drove earlier because

kids were off school all week. Been there. So. Oh, what? Muff's coming up a day early. Cool. I'll be at work for the next days. Yeah. So that was that. I was like, all right, cool. So we get there and we wake up on Thanksgiving. All right. Cool. I got your mic up. Oh, man. You're good. Get there on, you know, wake up Thanksgiving and we're just hanging out at the house, kind of have some little snacks for breakfast, eats a casserole with eggs and sausage and I don't know what else is in it, but it was good cheese, maybe some potatoes, maybe hash browns is what's in there. Tater tots. I don't know. My wife made it. It's not the custom bubble bread that I'm used to that I love. That is a family tradition of mine. Bubble bubble, bubble bread. No, they didn't bother to get the ingredients to make bubble bread so we could have it for the morning. But that's okay.

I'm not upset about that. We'll just move on. We'll have this casserole. No big deal. Then the kids are like, hey, dad, let's go on a hike. Let's go on a hike. Do it. Said, all right, yeah, your great idea.

The ladies are in there. You know, they're making the Thanksgiving sides and we'll come back and we'll fry the turkey when we get back. You're doing that? We were going to do it on the back porch. Okay. Do the fried turkey, you know, it's going to be great. Women are in there making the, you know, sweet potatoes, the mashed potatoes, the green beans, the whatever else they're making. So we decide we're going to take the dog with us and we're going to walk a little bit.

It's like a, they want to go hike down to some waterfalls. Case you get lost. Is it too cold to hike? No, it's like 45 degrees. And you're going to go with kids? Yeah, we went with a four-year-old. no, two four-year-olds, one of them is about to turn five, a five-year-old, two seven-year-olds, the one seven-year-old's about to be eight, and three adult males.

Okay, the three men, you can wrangle them. We can wrangle them. And we took the dog. In case you guys need help. No, just because get them out, burn some energy, be fun to go up and down some mountain with a dog. Right. I wore a white shirt in case we ran into trouble. And it's really supposed to be about a mile, maybe a little over a mile.

maybe a little over a mile hike down to this waterfall and back. Really, 45 minutes, that's about it. And we'll be back, no problem. So we start hiking down to the waterfall. Kids are having so much fun. But there's a couple bridges. The dog is scared to go over the bridges. So I have to pick them up because they're like little thin log bridges over water.

I've been to Costa Rica before. So I got to carry the dog over the bridges and we go down to the waterfalls and we're throwing rocks in the water and throwing sticks in there. and watching it go down and so fun. Then my brother-in-law is like, all right, we go this way to get back. Like, all right, cool. So we start walking. This is terrifying.

This brings back memories. And just so you know, we brought no water, no snacks. Bro, you need me in the woods. And now we've been gone about an hour and 30 minutes. This is terrifying. This is my biggest fear. And I think we go this one. way. All right. Cool. We'll go that way. Go that way. Oh, no. I think we're going back down the

mountain. Maybe we should go this way. All right, let's go that way. It is getting a little bit colder out of here. And now we've been gone two hours. Sheesh! And we got no water. We've got no nothing. And I'm like, I don't know, man. And you know, I told you it's probably about a mile, a little over a mile hike to the waterfall and back. Correct. We're now at 3.75 miles we've gone. So you've been lost for a mile and a half. Yeah, we're just in there.

And finally, we're just walking on a trail and we don't know. And he's like, let me run ahead and see what's over on this side. No, that side goes back down the mountain. Let's go this way. Start walking that way. And I'm like, man, that's going back down again, guys. That's down again. Like both sides are going down.

We're on a wrong path. You've carried the dog over a bridge now 10 times. And we can see a house. about 250 yards straight up the mountain. Go to it. And we said, guys, it is time to leave the beaten path. We are not going to follow one of these trails for another minute. We are going to go straight up this mountain through the woods, unpathed.

Don't know what's lying beneath these leaves and these fallen trees, but we have been gone for two hours now. And we are at 3.95 miles height with two four-year-olds, a five-year-old, and two seven-year-olds. And a dog with no water. And we're like, let's just go. Look on a tree. You can always tell the moss grows on the north side.

I could see the sunlight. So I was trying to head towards the sunlight, but whatever path we got on, It was going to take us around the side of a mountain. I don't know. Listen for traffic, too. I understand that. All I could hear was the water going down waterfalls.

That's not going to be very helpful. No, it's not. It's pretty, but it's pretty loud to find your way. And we're like, I hope these people don't mind us just climbing right through their backyard because we're coming. We got to. Out of three grown men, you guys all had to tuck your tail. We had to tuck our tail, admit we were lost. No cell phone service.

so it's not like we could do anything about it. Like, oh, try to pull up a map and figure our way out. We're in the middle of a mountain. You guys got burrs all over you. And my brother was all like, I don't think it's a good idea just to go straight up the mountain. We're like, we got no choice, man. These kids are getting tired.

We're at 3.95 miles. We got no choice, man. Okay? You listen to me. Don't you give up on me? Promise me you're never going to let go. Promise me you're never going to let go. Daddy, Daddy.

And we just hike the 200 to 250 yards straight up the mountain into the backyard, around to the front, up the driveway, onto the street. And we are able to get cell phone service. We are now at 4.02 miles. Yeah, you didn't go the right route. That we have been hiking. And we put in the GPS to the house. We are one mile from the house.

walk the roads. We weren't going to be able to walk it, man. The kids were tired. Right? We called a newber. It's 2025. What'd you think we did? So we dropped a print, a pin, sent it to the group text and said, send the vehicles. Send the vehicles. But at least you're at safety, though. That's all I can say. And I mean, we're just camped out in front of some people's houses. So did you go inside or no?

No, we didn't go in their houses. and we just, there was one guy out in his front, hey, how's it going? I was like, hey, how's it going? And here comes my wife, here comes my sister-in-law. They brought two vehicles to rescue the stranded hikers. I thought we were looking at each other like, all right, which one are we going to eat? Which one are we going to eat, man? We've been gone.

We were gone for two hours and 32 minutes with a total hike of 4.01 miles. You were red. That was pilgrims, man, before we stole it from the Native Americans. That's crazy. You've got to be careful. Never go on a hike without water and food. That's how those people die at Joshua Tree. And then the temperatures change and that's how you die. Oh, dude. It's just going to be straight to the waterfall and back from the waterfall. Bro, I didn't even know your story. And I said white shirt, SOS, because I know how that goes. When you're in the woods, you get freaking lost. It's confusing as hell. We'd go look at woods all the time with my dad

and sometimes he would get lost, but then he's better with directions than us. It's terrifying when you get turned around. I just assumed that my brother-in-law, he said, oh, I know where we're going, so I just figured he knew. And we got to one point where there was two signs that said trail that way, trail that way. Didn't say which trail it was, just said trail.

So that wasn't good. And then you got baby box chiming in. No, Dad, I think we need to go this way. Like, how the hell do you know which way to go, son? You ain't ever been in these dang woods. Actually, dad, we came in these woods yesterday before you got here. Oh, oh, my bad. So maybe you do know a little bit.

I should listen to my kids. Yeah, maybe I should listen to the seven-year-old. But my brother-in-law, like, oh, here's a red path, but I think we're supposed to be on the orange path. I don't know. I don't remember which one we came in. We were lost, man. We were lost in the woods.

Been there. I've been there a handful of times. It is terrifying. I wish that upon nobody. It's not lost on Broadway in booze in the bottle. It's lost. and you have no idea where you're going. Not in life, but physically where you're going.

It's one of the most terrifying feelings. So it felt good to be rescued. They pulled up in the vehicles. We told them in the text, bring water. We haven't had water. And the kids down some water. We got in the vehicles. We drove the one mile home.

And that one mile home was a lot of big hills. It would have been tough for the kids to make it. They would have been exhausted. But afterwards, the kids were like, Man, that was so fun. We got lost. Can we get lost again later? Can we get lost again later?

They didn't realize that we hiked four miles. I mean, I'm not talking like a little nice, easy path. We're talking up, elevation, down, elevate. And they were warriors out there. Yep. With the being lost, the kids, they, the dads at the dinner table later on were lucky, John. I know we are, Jim. It was just great to be home.

And then the day got even better because then it's time to fry the turkey. And I'll tell you all about it right after this.

I'm John Green. You may know me as the author of The Fault and Our Stars, and now I guess also is the co-host of the Away End, a brand new world soccer podcast. I'm Daniel Alarcon, a writer and journalist, and John and I have known each other since we were kids. My first World Cup was Mexico 86. I was nine years old.

I watched every game and I fell in love. On our new podcast, The Away End, we'll share with you the magic of international football, all leading up to the 2026 World Cup. For us, soccer, football, is a story we've shared for over 30 years since Daniel was the star player on our high school soccer team. Very debatable. And I was their most loyal and sometimes only fan. I love this game.

I love its history, it's hope, it's heartbreak, and above all, it's beauty. Together, we'll find out why, of all the unimportant things, football, soccer, is the most important. Listen to the away end with Daniel Auer Kohn and John Green on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. So you get the turkey thing set up on the back porch. All right, here we go. Let's get that turkey. They've been, you know, thawing the turkey, and you get the friar stand set up. But are you doing it or is somebody else manhandling it?

I've just never heard you cooking a turkey before. No, it's really the father-in-law. He's going to do it. Okay. I'm not really caring to do it. Whatever. My situation, father-in-law brought over the turkey, brother-in-law brought over the ham. There you go. There you go. There was no ham at ours, unfortunately. I love ham, but we did not have ham. And we go out there, we're like, all set up. Let's like this sucker. If you like ham, love ham.

I got a piece of ham in the fridge. It is the best ham I've ever had. And I would be willing to cook you up. some and you try it live man. I love him, man. Ham is my favorite. It is? It's my absolute favorite. Dude, it's the most phenomenal ham I've ever had. Ham is so much better in turkey. Ham, I am, Ray. I love Dr. Shoes.

Ham is so much better than turkey. The turkey was pretty good. We got it infused with stuff. Oh. It was so good. FHC? Yeah. Father-in-law goes, I'm going to take this. And I go, oh, are you going to take it to the fire hall? Drop it off there. And he goes, no, no, no, I'm taking it to my fire hall. I'm taking it to my house. I'm eating it. Wow. I go, what, you take that to the boys down there at the old fire station?

He goes, no, no, no, this boy, me at my house. Wow, that's pretty awesome. It was that good father-in-law took it with him. And he said, no, screw the boys at the house, man, I'm going to keep that for me. That one's on me. So we get out there and we're like, oh, man, can't try for like 25 minutes, can't get it to light. What are you lost again? No, we're on the back porch.

The friar won't light. Dude, you guys can't win. So we start texting neighbors. Hey, do you happen to have a fire stand, turkey fryer stand? We can't get ours to light. No, no. So my aunt posts on the neighborhood Facebook page. Hey, anybody got a friar stand, ours won't light.

Crickets. So here we are. The sides are all, you know, pretty much ready. And we have no turkey. It was a malfunctioning thing. And guys, let's be real. How many times have they used it once a year for 20 years? Ding, ding.

Ding, ding. Hadn't been brought out since what, last Christmas or Thanksgiving? There was this Instagram thing where the dad had the electric razor that cuts the meat or whatever. And he goes, we've been married 47 years. I've used this 47 times. The only time you use it for is Thanksgiving. Never do you ever get the electric cutter out. Yeah.

So that's the thing, man. So then we're like, what do we do? And you can't put it in the oven now because it's going to take five hours. See, I don't know on the cooking side of it, but I know they're not easy. So we are between a rock and a hard place. We have no turkey for Thanksgiving dinner. Campfire. So we look around, we're like, what do we don't know what to do.

So we start dissecting it because my aunt has a pressure cooker. It's like an air fryer, basically. Yeah. Okay? So we are chopping this turkey up and shoving pieces in the air fryer. Oh, my gosh. What time are we talking right now? 2.30?

It's Thanksgiving time. It is Thanksgiving time, dude. I mean, disaster. Like this was, the turkey was supposed to be in the freaking friar at like 1 o'clock. I was supposed to be in there ready to, like, let's go. There's no way this ends up good, though. So we are chopping it up piece by piece. Everybody's teaming up.

Everybody's teaming it up and it is just a disaster. All the sides are now having to be reheated and reheated. and reheated because they're cold by now. Well, what a tribute to the pilgrims, man. Like, I mean, just... They had a better meal 200 years ago. Like, I thought the turkey was going to be ready now. The sweet potatoes are...

I've been out of the oven for an hour. We're going to have to reheat them. Sorry, didn't know this was going to happen. So we went pressure cooker, ripped up turkey and cooked it. Then reheat all the sides. And we ate Thanksgiving dinner at like 3.45. still within the window.

Turkey was okay. There's no way it was good. No, no. I said okay. Oh, okay. It was edible. At least there's a story behind it. It was edible. But what happened with the turkey fryer?

It wouldn't light. See, I don't know, Ray. I didn't take it apart and see what was wrong with it. But was it the lady that lived there or did somebody bring it from Nashville? No, she had it. Okay, see, that's on her. You've got to try it the day before, the week before. The minute of action, she tries to see if this friar is going to fry up from a year ago.

And it didn't. I mean, let me, let me break the news to you. It didn't, it didn't start. It didn't start, right? Oh, my gosh. And so, here's the thing. I was like, wow, this is a great Thanksgiving dinner. Wow, this is so fun.

So we ate during the Cowboys Chiefs game. I didn't see one second of that game. I don't know how that game went. I don't know if the Cowboys dominated. I know they won. I don't know if it was back and forth. Don't know what thing about it. I was busy with kids.

We watched a lot of the Packers Lion, but yeah, I was busy during that one. Packers Lions was the first game, right? Yeah, it was Packers all day long. Lions never had a chance. I think I watched one quarter of that game. And maybe what was the night, oh, the night game was the Bengals and Ravens. Guess how many plays that I saw? It was a blowout.

Didn't see a single play, Ray? It was Joe cool. You want to know why I didn't see a single play, Ray? Because this house was set up weird. I'm guessing they didn't have cable. Well, that's one reason, Ray. They had four channels. Well, you'd have been able to get one of them then.

Right. They had four channels, but here's the problem. When you walk in, you're in the front little walkway. There's a bathroom to your left. The living room is straight ahead. The dining room is to the right, kitchen around the corner. Right to the right is the stairs. You go upstairs.

There's two bedrooms up there. And then where the TV is in the far left wing of that upstairs. I have the mental picture. I just drew the map. Everybody congregates downstairs in the living room and in the dining room. There is no TV down there. And it's just nobody's going to go in a random room by themselves with a door closed. It looks like you're looking at porn. Ding, ding, ding, Ray.

If you want to go watch TV, you have to go up into the far left where no one is. Yeah, you would have already passed five TVs at my house. So you are away from everybody. No one knows where you are. and you are anti-social, anti- Thanksgiving, anti-everything. Because you want to watch the game. Yes. What used to be called being a man is now called being antisocial,

because you want to watch your sports. Right. And so it was awkward when I'm getting texts from Batters Box, like, oh, my God. And I don't respond. What are you doing? He wasn't there? No, this is my white side. Okay.

Well, I mean, I heard the whole family tree. I thought at some point he threw Batters Box. No. And he's just like, oh, my. like, are you there? This is unbelievable. That was a great game. Well, it had it not been the late game. The late game was bad. Highly entertaining.

Oh, he's talking about Chiefs Cowboys. I don't know, because I don't know what he's saying. It wasn't, it wasn't Lions Packers, because that was always out of reach. And then I guess he called and he goes, you can't even take my calls? Happy Thanksgiving. And I'm like, what?

He goes, what a game? I was like, I didn't see a second of it. He goes, what are you doing? I was all to hike. He was like, I was over at mom and dad's, dude. Dad got a new 80-inch TV. Whoa. I'm like, what? He goes, yeah, night before Thanksgiving, his TV went out.

And I guess he just went to Best Buy and he called me. He goes, can I help him hang in his new TV? He goes, how? I was like, why does my dad need help hanging the TV? He goes, oh my God. The TV was so big. It barely fit in the bed of his truck. It's like Taylor Luan the one time I saw him outside of Best Buy.

Yeah. He was like, you got an 80-incher, dude. He goes, it's massive. And I was like, wow. But I was like, no, I didn't see it, man. He was like, I don't understand how you didn't see it to football. And I was like, well, the TV is up left, far left of the house. So you have to.

And he's like, well, just go up there and watch it. I'm like, well, no one else was up there. So I can't just leave the whole family. He's like, this is very disappointing. It's polite to the family member to offer up their house. But sometimes when you don't have the amenities for a huge group of people, you just really shouldn't throw it out there. In my opinion, MIO.

Yeah. whenever you have football to be watched, it'd be nice to have it in a common area where we can have it on in the background, everybody's talking, hanging out. Right, but almost you almost invite enough people that you have seats for. You don't need people sitting on the arms of chairs and stuff just because you're trying to pack in for the holidays. Sometimes you've got to cut it off at eight people. You don't need to have 20 people, the third cousin, the fourth ex-wife,

the little seven-year-old from across the street that's a secret baby. You don't need all that at a Thanksgiving. and that's why I drove the line. Sister, nephews, wife, her brother, her mom, dad, that's it. A couple other kids sprinkled in, another niece and nephew. We were out the door at 12. I don't want one more foot stepping inside my house. Sounds like you had it down, ma'am.

I didn't have an option. There was nowhere to go. There was nowhere to go, like, look around and watch it. So it's cool. Thanksgiving ends, we go to bed. That's a hike Friday. You know what we got? Another hike?

Well, the kids did want to do another to hike, but we got bears, eagles. We'll talk about it right after this. The 2026 NFL draft is here, and the NFL Daily podcast has it covered from all angles.

I'm Daniel Alarcon, a writer and journalist.

And John and I have known each other since we were kids. My first World Cup was Mexico 86. I was nine years old. I watched every game. and I fell in love. On our new podcast, the away end, we'll share with you the magic of international football,

all leading up to the 2026 World Cup. For us, soccer, football, is a story we've shared for over 30 years since Daniel was the star player on our high school soccer team. Very debatable. And I was their most loyal and sometimes only fan.

I love this game. I love its history, its hope, it's heartbreak, and above all, it's beauty. Together, we'll find out why, of all the unimportant things, football, soccer, is the most important. Listen to the away end with Daniel Auer Kohn and John Green on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Wake up Friday, man, all rejuvenated. All right, man, bears, my favorite team, yeah. It stuffed? Did we eat a lot of crap? I felt like dog crap on Friday. I mean, I didn't feel great because, but I mean, they only had pumpkin pie, and I don't like pumpkin pie. They had pecan pie, which was okay. They did have a coconut pie, which wasn't bad.

Interesting. We went pumpkin, chocolate, which has also got some other name. Oh, yeah, they were talking about it. And then pecan, that might have been it. Sorry, Muff, if I'm not remembering one. Yeah, and so you wake up on Friday, hanging out, have some break with my wife. Chess pie. Chess pie is what they call it.

It's chocolate. Yeah. Why not just call it chocolate? Don't understand the fancy name. And my wife makes the same casserole she made the day before. Was it warm? It was warm. Casserol was warm, the eggs, the tater tots, the cheese, something.

It's really pretty good. Honey, I love this. It has a similar flavor as yesterday. Oh, it's the same thing. Oh, it's the same thing. Okay, cool. Yeah, all right, cool. Really appreciate that.

And what goes down on Friday is... You're eating the same warmed up food from the day before, but it's a worse version of it? Awesome. Can we just go to Waffle House? Have you kidding me? That's what we did. Yeah, well, I'm glad you did. I made an order of like $75, dude. I ain't eating food three times. We ate it for lunch, dinner, that's the line.

We're not eating this again. Well, we did. We ate it. And we're hanging out. And my, well, my brother-in-law, he went into town to have breakfast. Him and his wife and two kids, they went to have breakfast. We're not having this again. Smart man.

They went to have breakfast at a restaurant. And then my father was like, don't forget. We're playing golf today at 1 o'clock. You guys try to squeeze in some golf? I said what? He goes, yeah, it's really, you know, brother-in-law really wants to play golf. His son, he was like, so we're going to play 1 o'clock. And I was like, you do realize the bears play at 3, right?

I don't know why you're questioning golf over the family time. That's amazing. Get out of the house. Go swing the sticks. Oh, Ray, did I mention, I checked the weather on Friday, high of 42. Yeah, okay, it's getting worse of an option. But still better than getting lost and eating three-day-old casserole. Correct.

So we did take a trip to the dump, took the boys to the dump, where they get to throw the glass bottles into the dumpster and see them break. They stand above the dumpster and smash them. I got to bring them out to my county dump. It's great. Dude, they absolutely loved it. I mean, just over and or a break. bottles. Love it. They absolutely loved that. Then we head back to the house.

Brother-in-law is in such a hurry. He's like, I'm going to go, I'm going to go check us in. I'm going to hit some balls. Wait, is he the same guy that went for breakfast? Yeah, he's back. So he's freaking out a little bit. He dropped his family off and he's ready to go. He's got cabin fever. He's got cabin fever. He needs to swing those sticks. He's like at the boarding grocery store getting a vape next day. Yeah. He's like, wow, man, this is too much family time, I think, driving him nuts. We've got to say, though, the store's not being open on Thanksgiving and limited hours. Kind of throws you for a loop.

Yeah, because they don't have a turkey fryer. When you need one, they don't have a turkey fryer stand for sale on Thanksgiving because everything's closed. Well, try also preparing for your wife's birthday the following day when every store is closed. Oh. It's awesome. Continue. So we head to the golf course, high of 42.

You know what I mean? So we're going to be wearing some layers. Got some pants, got a jacket on. I go in the clubhouse and they have weather gloves. I buy those because I'm like, my hands are freezing. But it feels weird having two gloves when you're trying to hit the golf ball. Feels weird holding the stick. I do it.

And let's just say that it was like I had never played golf in my life. I love to hear it. I love to hear it because I haven't played on a course in like three months. I love to hear it. Couldn't hit the golf ball. You're out there with the family trying to show out and you just suck. You absolutely sucked. Was it from the get-go?

No, first to hole Drove it right down the middle Okay Missed the green to the left Shipped it up And barely missed my putt tap in bogey All right Second hole

I mean it was like the wheels fell off What was it? The driving? Oh no no second hole Drive right down the middle Then you're good Boom Second shot Boom

It's a five It's a par five Uphill And I hit a six iron in the second shot to put me about 110 out. Yeah. Perfect. Yank it left.

Way over the green. Back in the leaves. Oh, hit it out of there short. You hit it over with 110 yards? Yeah. Well, I hit it left. Left. Got it.

And it rolled all the way back in the leaves. All right, fine. Chip it. Short. Doesn't make it on the green. Then I bladed across the green. Into the sand. Out of the sand.

Terrible. Like a 10? Like an 8. Jeez. On a par five. Snowman. Well, it doesn't get any better. I mean, I got a 9 on a hole.

It was just like, it was unbelievable. It was terrible. It was cold out or what? You weren't familiar with the course? No, no, I've played the course. I've, it was cold. I mean, I just wasn't hitting it. I don't know.

It's the worst when you don't hit it flush. I don't care where the shot goes. If you hit it flush, that's all that I try for. That's what matters. That's what matters. And so by whole seven, the sun is starting to go down. Oh, it's right. You went later for some reason.

We went at 1 o'clock. So by whole seven, I am now to sweatshirt. And jacket, like shorts like light jacket pullover underneath. Are there other smucks playing in this course? There's other people playing. All right. And by the time we finished around. I think the one by Mimbo is closed on Thanksgiving Day.

Oh, this is the day after. Don't worry. Oh, I wore Beanie the whole time. I went Beanie the absolute entire time. Hand warmers. I would have brought more stuff with me. And I mean, by the time we were done, the sun is already going down. They told us carts had to be in by five.

We got them in about 520. But it is probably 30 degrees. You cut it short. No, no, brother and I was not going to. were not missing a hole. Like we got to 18 and my father-in-law's like, hey, they said cart's got to be in by five. We should probably take it in. And we're like, we're on 18, and let's just finish. And the family had driven over, everybody had driven over because we're going to walk around the golf course and chase some deer afterwards. So they're waiting up there

on the 18th. After you already froze to death, now you get to go chase deer. Exactly. Go see where you hit all your balls. Oh, found it. Yeah. These are, hey, guys, it's actually good in the woods. I'm finding some of my balls. them earlier. Yeah, and so we, we, I actually played that whole well. Hit the fairway on the drive, second shot up, and then chip it on. And I mean, the kids come running down on the green. What are you? Tiger Woods. And they're sitting there and we're all putting, putting, putting, and I was like, am I going to make this? And they're like, no. And they're like, make it, make it, make it. You have like a, the, what do they call it, the gallery? I have the gallery, but the gallery

is booing you. No, they've invaded the green. They're not just waiting up top. They are like on the green, dude. They are there. And so I have all this pressure of everybody around me. And they go crazy. Woo!

I made it! I made it! That's pretty cool. That was the end of the round. Then we go chase deer. And I mean, I have snot. I feel like freezing to my face. Everyone is freezing cold.

You're in a bad mood. I'm in a bad mood because I couldn't hit the ball. My wife comes down. How was it? And she's all cheering. Your lips are frozen together. And she's expecting me to say, oh, it's so fun hanging out with your dad and brother. You know what I mean?

And they're great. Like, they're awesome. It was fucking miserable. I'll be real with you. It was terrible. But I said, but it was awful. I said, because it was like I couldn't hit a damn golf ball. I was like it was cold and embarrassing.

She was, oh. there's nothing to be embarrassed about. And I said, no, no, no. I said, because I talk about how, oh, I think I'm getting better at golf. And then I go play with your dad and brother. And it's like I can't hit the golf ball. So it's like I just make this crap up. She goes, they don't think that.

And I was like, it's still embarrassing. They're walking a little taller at work today. They are. Phil may be retired, but. Because they were just smacking me around the golf course. And then it was time to head to dinner, man. And we went and ate some barbecue. And we went to bed.

Did their friar work? But I got a text from Batters Box. He's like, oh. Another game you didn't see. He's like, oh my God. Now do you believe? He was like, and thank goodness I played DeAndre Swift. I was like, I don't know.

I said, are you being sarcastic or not? He goes, what do you mean? I said, well, did he have a good game or not? And he goes, you didn't see it? Yeah, they rolled them. I was like, no. And he goes, oh my God. He goes, you are setting a world record for not watching football.

I was like, I didn't see it down. Did we win? It's like, yeah, and I'm like, oh my gosh. You, like, couldn't check on your phone at the golf course? I didn't check. Yeah, I hear you, though. I didn't check. My hands were too cold. It would be typing.

I just put them in pockets. My father-in-law, it was so cold. He was going NFL quarterback. In between every hole, he'd put a jacket on. And then when he'd get to the ball, he'd take the jacket off, hit, put the jacket back on. See, at that point, maybe shouldn't be playing golf. maybe you got to take the day off. It was freezing.

It's not fun when you're cold. And my brother-in-law, I mean, there was one hole. It's a par five, and it's like on top of a hill, and it goes down, and then way up. And you don't want to hit it all the way because sometimes it gets stuck in the middle of the hill, but I hit it all the way down the bottom of the hill. I already hate this course, hills. No, it's awesome. It's a great course.

And drive of my life to hit it all the way down that hill. Perfect spot, probably 250 yards from the, a green. Got a nine. How? Exactly. How? Because I couldn't hit a golf ball after that. But those hills are tough. I hate hill golf. Not a fan. So the bears won. And I want to apologize to Caleb Williams. I came on this pond and said, oh, he doesn't have it. Ben Johnson, why'd we hire it? We are the number one seed in the NFC. Dumb Bears. But I didn't see it. So maybe we are good. We actually beat the Eagles It's a good time for this present. Oh, man, you got me a present.

That's for my sister. She got me a shirt that is size four. It looks like a girl's shirt. It's definitely a female shirt. Definitely female. Because it's got the V-neck. That's for a chick. It kind of looks like a cheerleader shirt.

But I will give it to one of my sons. The first question is, is any of your kids that small? Yeah. The second question is, does she not know you have three kids? She goes, I got this for lunch. Thanks. He's got multiple chills. You can't just give one kid a present.

Oh, yeah, you can. You just stick in their pile and they won't ever know. They won't ever know because they cheer for the Titans anyway. I think it was at Marshalls or something. They don't care. They won't cheer for the bears. It's okay. But hey, maybe the bears are for real.

I didn't see it down. So it must have been a convincing win. I'm so excited. And I mean, you would think that's how vacation ended. It was so cold. That was it. We're done. No, I got more.

I'll tell you right after this. The 2026 NFL draft is here. and the NFL Daily podcast has it covered from all angles. Join me, Greg Rosenthal, and Jordan Roderig after night one on Thursday. Nick Shook joins me night two Friday and then Sunday to recap everything that went down over the three days in Pittsburgh.

Listen to the away end with Daniel Auer Kohn and John Green on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever. you get your podcasts. You got about 10 minutes. So we wake up Saturday morning. It has started to clear out. Cousin and husband and two kids have left. Brother-in-law, wife, two kids, they leave Saturday morning. And baby box two comes to me.

He goes, Dad, I don't feel good. Here we go. My throat hurts. And just by his voice, I was like, oh, you have strep. I was like, you have strep, dude. You have strep throat. Let's go to the urgent care. So we go to the urgent care.

And they're like, what brings you in? I'm like, he's talking like this. He's got strep. He's like, are you sure he has strep? I'm like, yeah, I mean, it's pretty swollen back there. And just the way he's talking, that's that strep voice. I was like, he's got a little bit of a cough. He was a little hot this morning.

He's like, all right, I'm going to do the strep test. Does the thing in the back of throat. And he goes, but I'm also going to do flu and COVID. So I'm going to, you know, kind of stick this up your nose and it may tickle a little bit. Well, I've never, I mean, maybe small town America. These nurses don't know how to do things. I have never seen someone jab something so far up a kid's nose in my life. Yeah, probably need to go a little gentler there, bedside manner.

Yeah, dude. He's five, bro. He's five years old. And I mean, he's never recoiled at a doctor or nurse doing this. But he literally slapped the thing out of his nose he did it so far. Yeah. I think they just need to be in the upper orifice. Yeah, just right in there.

And he's like, I got to do the other nostril. And my son is now crying. Baby Box 2 is now crying because he shoved it so far up there. And this dude just shoves it up the right nostril now. So far, nosebleed. Just starts bleeding. What is happening in North Carolina, USA? And he's like, oh, good, we got it.

And I'm like, good, you got it. You got his blood type too. Yeah. Dude, you got a freaking. noseblee, congratulations. You made a volcano erupt right here in your office. He goes, I'm going to go run these tests, not a sorry, not a, oh, I didn't mean to do that. Just like, oh, yeah, all right, I'll be back with the results. What was he an intern? I don't know. But he had a hat on that said, Dad, I mean, that's a good thing to wear if you want kids to feel good around

you, especially the kids that don't know how to read. Was he a family practitioner? It was just an urgent care. He's just a nurse at the urgent care. And then the doctor came in. She comes in. And she's like, well, good thing you guys came in. He's got strep. Was she hot? No. Oh, well, you made it telling she was hot. Well, I'm sorry that I led you that way, but she wasn't hot.

Ray, the doctor then came in and ooh, la, la. And I was like, wow, okay. I think I may have COVID as well. You got a minute? Got a stick you can shove up me? So I saw, I was there and I was, you know, all right, let's go back. Let's go get your medicine. Then we go to Duncan, get some donuts to reward him.

Smart. I've never had a worst donut in my life. Wow. The donuts, the Duncan and North Carolina, they don't know how to make donuts. You haven't had a good meal in about five days. No, we ordered a box of munchkins. All assorted, glazed, chocolate glazed, you know, like a sprinkle, you're glazing me, bro. Dude, I don't know if they just forgot to put glaze on them, but every single one was a cake donut.

They didn't have any icing on them. Yeah, they got to have the glaze. They had no glaze on any of them. Well, did you take it? held them. Are you glazed? Are you going to glaze me, bro? You got to quit glazing me, bro. No, you need to glaze me, bro. What if you would have told him that? You need to glaze me, bro. What the, you're talking about, man. And there was nothing. They didn't do anything. There was no glaze. And then we get home and I opened the dozen donuts. And, like, they only put glaze on half the donut. Like, what are we doing? Yeah, they just don't care. And I actually went on Yelp and wrote a review and said as a former employee, this is embarrassing. You guys didn't even put glaze on my donuts.

We're getting so old. But I'm glad you did it. Make it better for the next guy. Yeah, and then so Saturday I watched football. I watched maybe the second half of the Texas, Texas A&M game. That was a good game. Vandie Volz.

Didn't see it. It was awesome. Didn't see a minute of it. But Vandy's not going to get in sadly. Sorry, everybody. Why? Yeah, at large, is their only hope? and it's probably Miami or Bama, because Bama ended up winning the Iron Bowl.

Oh. Valls are out. Their odds right now are plus 20,000 to make the playoffs. Oh, that's not sure. That means they're not making it. That's not good. So I've watched the second half of that game, and that's only, and then Sunday, we had to drive back. And my wife said, oh, we're going to get on the road about nine. One time you think we got on the road. I mean, in my household, we would have got on the road at 4 a.m. No, we got on the road at 10.30. No, 9.30. 11.30, 2.5 hours late.

Were you trying to see every car on the interstate coming home from Thanksgiving? We did. We did. Because a five and a half hour drive turned into seven hours and 40 minutes. And we had to take some side roads and we had to wind down this mountain into some small town. And we were so many windy roads. We had a vomit episode in the car. I thought you were going to say you found that original house you got lost at when you

went hiking. Nope. Nope. That or one of your balls rolling across the road from the golf course. Nope. Baby Box's like, Dad, Dad, I think Chase is going to throw up. And I'm like, what? He's like, he's standing up and he's licking his nose over and over again.

Make him prove it. He's licking his nose over and over again. That's my dog. Oh. And I was like, he's not. Bligh! There goes. He goes.

That, he's throwing up. He's throwing up. Well, son, what do you want me to do, man? I'm in traffic winding down this mountain. we get to this little town, we'll pull over. And we pulled over and we scraped off the throw up and flipped the bed over. The kids went peeing a portal potty and we got back on the road. That's why I don't have a dog. And I didn't get to see football. You can listen to our guy. On the radio, these are your Tennessee Titans. I was in the middle of North Carolina, dude. I don't

think Titans radio reaches that far. It'll reach damn far. That guy's a legend. I got calls from batters box. He's like, why don't you just download it and have it on your phone? I don't know how to... I've told you this. You can listen to the YouTube TV audio on gate. That'd be amazing to drive to. And so he was calling me, giving me updates at half-time. He even called me at halftime of the 49ers game. Usually he has no phone rule during the 49ers games, but he called me in halftime and after every, after the games to give me the scores and how everybody was doing. Did he tell you about the puka catch? He told me the Rams. He goes, oh my God, the Ram down. the Rams, down go the Rams. But I saw the Puka catch later, and I saw the Brock Bowers catch later.

I saw the Traylon Burks catch live because you know who threw it to him? I don't even know who he plays for. He plays for the Washington Commander. So Marriota, Marriota, Marriota, and Burks went up with one hand, bam. And we finally got home last night at like 6.30 p.m. It was the longest day of my life. Well, you had to get home for the big show. Yeah, Ray.

Did you have any cool stories like that? Because it was a great holiday, man. No, man, I got to get to the airport. Beezer decided to schedule an interview for us the day after Thanksgiving break when everybody's going to be at the airport. Wait, what? Some like foreign travel policy thing. If you go do this, you can just waltz through customs. And I can, like, pretty much bring plants back.

Oh. So that's why you got to go. Yeah. I'm physically going to an airport. not flying. I'm going to an airport, parking at an airport, and not flying. Are you going to take the shuttle?
