[SPEAKER_00]: Dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb-d
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, come to sports our dumb, the podcast that was dangled in trade talks all weekend, but it's still here.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm Joey And I'm Sean.
[SPEAKER_00]: I think I'm more dangled.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, I'm in our names came up a lot.
[SPEAKER_01]: Sean.
[SPEAKER_01]: I think what I mean this weekend You just hammered it home more, but I think a general statement is people tend to like consistency
[SPEAKER_01]: For example, I've played this Recklieg basketball on Sundays now and on the way home.
[SPEAKER_01]: I've made a nice little consistent routine of stomping off at the coffee shop.
[SPEAKER_01]: We'll give them a shout out, polyphonic coffee here in Austin and what I've noticed is when I stopped by a Sunday around noon, noon, 30.
[SPEAKER_01]: Is there a day?
[SPEAKER_01]: A gaggle of women playing Majong at this
[SPEAKER_01]: coffee shop as well.
[SPEAKER_01]: So that's their consistency.
[SPEAKER_01]: I get my
[SPEAKER_01]: a fancy latte, which lately is a tahini date latte, so you would hate it, but it's real good.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's not overtly sweet, which I feel like a lot of flavored lattes tend to fall that route.
[SPEAKER_01]: So I like just a little bit of sweet.
[SPEAKER_01]: I know.
[SPEAKER_01]: It seems like it shouldn't work.
[SPEAKER_01]: It works very well.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's excellent.
[SPEAKER_00]: It doesn't work for me.
[SPEAKER_01]: It would recommend.
[SPEAKER_01]: Sorry.
[SPEAKER_01]: You can get a chocolate chip latte.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's fine.
[SPEAKER_01]: But we, you know, we like our consistency and we get home.
[SPEAKER_01]: shower, let the dogs out, all the all the consistent things.
[SPEAKER_01]: And what we've seen, the straight deadline once again, is that the Los Angeles Dodgers will just consistently win every world series there is, because no other team seems to care about being competitive.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's not their fault
[SPEAKER_00]: If I'm a Dodgers fan, or a Dodgers player, or the Dodgers owner, I'm doing what it takes to win.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to use whatever resources I want to win.
[SPEAKER_00]: Is that my fault that other teams do not want to use the resources available to them the way?
[SPEAKER_00]: Hi, I'm going to play me, because I'm doing what it takes.
[SPEAKER_00]: I want to win or I want someone to try, I want someone to care, I do all that.
[SPEAKER_00]: And now it's my fault that a quote unquote unfair.
[SPEAKER_00]: Why the target is didn't even have to trade us we're talking so I guess some contact
[SPEAKER_00]: The Detroit Tigers, I was with Degers, the classic Degers.
[SPEAKER_00]: The Detroit Tigers have shown throughout the season, no interest in resigning their two-time Saiyan award-winning pitcher, TechSchool.
[SPEAKER_00]: Add to make sure and look up his name and it was pronounced tarick in that tarick because he does not look like a tarick.
[SPEAKER_01]: No, no, yeah.
[SPEAKER_01]: But a tarick, expect like tarick.
[SPEAKER_00]: It sounds tarick.
[SPEAKER_00]: Tarick makes sense, so for for his appearance.
[SPEAKER_00]: So there was all week I was seeing Instagram posts.
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, where tarick could go to this team or school, let's go to this team and so
[SPEAKER_00]: Went team that was not in the running much like LeBron to the 76ers.
[SPEAKER_00]: Went team that was not being considered where the last stage is dodges.
[SPEAKER_00]: Why?
[SPEAKER_00]: Because like the dodges are like 30 games above 500 first place.
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, they're playing well.
[SPEAKER_00]: They got a couple guys hurt.
[SPEAKER_00]: But I mean, there's still the dodges because they're loaded.
[SPEAKER_00]: And then I went to and this I can talk, it's filmed on this later that I went to the Astros Ranger's game this past weekend.
[SPEAKER_00]: And when we got home, I was on the couch on my phone.
[SPEAKER_00]: I was like,
[SPEAKER_00]: tech school traded to the Dodgers.
[SPEAKER_00]: My friend was like, what?
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that's what according to what's my phone saying.
[SPEAKER_00]: And then you immediately dive in the comments and see how fans are saying, this is unfair.
[SPEAKER_00]: They just want another world.
[SPEAKER_00]: Siri, then you need another arm because they got show hey and glass now and Blake still like they don't need this many pictures but like
[SPEAKER_00]: It's pretty much a two-month rental, two to three-month rental, for another site on a working pitch.
[SPEAKER_00]: And the tigers, they got back what people are saying at three good prospects.
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know prospects.
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't follow MLB farm systems, but.
[SPEAKER_00]: Detroit didn't have to do this trade.
[SPEAKER_00]: They didn't have to do it trade until the Dodgers.
[SPEAKER_00]: And so they're in the midst of a potential lockout that's upcoming season and the M.O.B.'
[SPEAKER_00]: 's main driving point is that we need a salary cap so we can so that it's more fair.
[SPEAKER_00]: And what does M.O.B.
[SPEAKER_00]: do allow that one of the best pictures in the league go to the Dodgers?
[SPEAKER_00]: It feels like
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not very conspiracy theory, but like come on man, like this, how can you not make your case more by loud something make it worse just so you can have a change of plans that will favor you that will quote unquote make it better.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I think I'm with you on the conspiracy theory bus train.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I don't understand.
[SPEAKER_00]: So when we talked about LeBron and like, oh, LeBron, bring chasing, I would want my players to chase rings and like, oh, the Dodgers that just being of, I would want the team I wrote for the do with it, make the move.
[SPEAKER_00]: If I'm to go to state warriors and Katie's available and we got a 70 when team, we still going to try to get Katie, like, I don't understand, like, what?
[SPEAKER_00]: We took, no, let's make it fair for everybody else and we'll just, we'll just sit this one out.
[SPEAKER_00]: No, like if you can get better, get better.
[SPEAKER_00]: So I don't blame the Dodgers.
[SPEAKER_00]: I blame the rest of the league.
[SPEAKER_00]: I blame the Tigers and for not trading him for, they could have got more than three prospects.
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, I don't, like, don't blame on winners on this situation.
[SPEAKER_00]: Blame the ones that I'm losing on purpose.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I feel like there's always an, in every league, there's always
[SPEAKER_01]: at least a couple trades every season where you're just like, surely that was not the best haul.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, no, don't take me back, don't do it.
[SPEAKER_00]: I can't do it, no.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, I'm sorry.
[SPEAKER_01]: Sorry to bring up, sorry to bring up some of the subjects.
[SPEAKER_01]: That was not my subject.
[SPEAKER_00]: I agree, certainly the Celtics just did that.
[SPEAKER_00]: We can blame the Celtics now for having the second we're straight in M.D.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's just, I mean, there's got to be.
[SPEAKER_00]: worse one.
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, I think the Memphis P august all to the linkers.
[SPEAKER_00]: That was to that feels like they just gave him away and gave the like your two more championships.
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, are you googling?
[SPEAKER_00]: We're not.
[SPEAKER_01]: But I'm sure we could find some good.
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, wasn't Kobe traded for tractor trailer.
[SPEAKER_01]: That probably.
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's hard to tell you at the time.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's a don't your draft day, trade,
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, yeah, that was the one I was thinking of was the, although even at the time, I know, at the time, I think it was probably pretty good.
[SPEAKER_01]: With the I, the Celtics and Nats swap when the Nats got Paul Pearson, Kevin Garnett, and then for a bunch of picks that turned into Jalen Brown and Jason Tatum and others.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: And that one, yeah, it's the future turned out to be like a championship.
[SPEAKER_00]: They got it down and you got rid of
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, you've got a bunch of old dudes.
[SPEAKER_00]: Pastor Prime, that's still thinking there, you know?
[SPEAKER_00]: The Brownhead overtaking him while I'm before them, but they were still trying to build out the nets into a contender.
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, I guess Dennis Romain for Will Perdue.
[SPEAKER_01]: Also, I'm sorry, Sean, I should have known this.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's Dirk Nevetsky who got traded for tractor trailing.
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, I mean, but in favor.
[SPEAKER_00]: But again, it's a job they trade.
[SPEAKER_01]: I know, it's tougher to say.
[SPEAKER_00]: Like math things, only math things though that the math didn't jack dirt.
[UNKNOWN]: Ha ha ha.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's the only, yeah, a bit of trivia.
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, I guess in hindsight too, you could say things like the Shay Gil just Alexander to the Thunder trade.
[SPEAKER_01]: He was just a rookie showed, I had a pretty good rookie season,
[SPEAKER_00]: He wasn't two times in B.E.
[SPEAKER_00]: Not two times in B.E.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, so it's, yeah.
[SPEAKER_01]: That was our all.
[SPEAKER_01]: Those are all look back and be fond.
[SPEAKER_01]: But, or bouffond, if you almost want to say scarf in Spanish.
[SPEAKER_01]: Bouffond, anyway, what a terrible segue.
[SPEAKER_00]: to a scarf and Spanish, but it's what we're right here to hype up Spanish language here on sports or to has there been I think there's been other trades happening and so when I went to my my one and only MLB game of the season this year.
[SPEAKER_00]: First notes the
[SPEAKER_00]: The minute-made stadium, it's no longer called minute-made.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's called like Diken, which is apparently like a... Diken Park.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: Diken Park, or a minute-made park that I can, Diken Park.
[SPEAKER_00]: And someone said that it's an AC company.
[SPEAKER_00]: And boy, the AC in that park was broke.
[SPEAKER_00]: Cause I was in there just, just sweating.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm like, it's so hot, it works.
[SPEAKER_00]: The roof is spent on their buddy on sponsoring the stadium.
[SPEAKER_00]: So they can actually, I can't.
[SPEAKER_01]: But I'm cool it.
[SPEAKER_00]: But I've been the minute made before.
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, I've been a dyke in before.
[SPEAKER_00]: I had to try the hot dog.
[SPEAKER_00]: I've like, like, I gotta go to the ball game.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not gonna have a hot dog.
[SPEAKER_00]: We had, we had Frenchies before the game, like a couple hours before the game.
[SPEAKER_00]: So I really wasn't hungry.
[SPEAKER_00]: So I kind of went, like, in the later innings, just so I could not be hungry when I went to bed.
[SPEAKER_00]: But at least in hot dog it wasn't, you know, it wasn't old.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's a better than the triple play at GlobLife or whatever it's called that, that like to it.
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know.
[SPEAKER_01]: I didn't want to...
[SPEAKER_00]: We were on TV like we're visible because we were sitting kind of a right center filled in the second row and so like a home run got hit to our areas so like if you like pick a screen shot and zoom all the way in you can see me and my friends blurry face let's get let's get that on the Instagram hat's a sports or dumb for once it's an early promotion
[SPEAKER_00]: You can see my body, like, if you know my shape and like, oh, that's fine.
[SPEAKER_00]: But you can't make up my face.
[SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, it was actually fun game.
[SPEAKER_00]: It was back and forth, the Astros score run, the range of score run, Astros get two runs, the range of two runs.
[SPEAKER_00]: It wasn't until like later that the Astros finally pulled away.
[SPEAKER_00]: Now it was me in the ultimate header.
[SPEAKER_00]: I was making trash can jokes.
[SPEAKER_00]: I was making Astros ASS.
[SPEAKER_00]: So, disastrous suck Astros, cheat-nastros, I was making all those jokes.
[SPEAKER_00]: They were getting mad because the Rangers, I didn't know, I don't, I knew how to move a plate.
[SPEAKER_00]: I got a nice, ooh, I got a nice Bobblehead.
[SPEAKER_00]: So, I got to find one of my friends, kids, that, like, the Astros, so I can give them this Jose, how to obey, how to move a Bobblehead.
[SPEAKER_00]: So, apparently, I got to kind of remember this, at the beginning of season, they moved into the outfit.
[SPEAKER_00]: but he was so bad that they just moved him back to second base so he's back in the infield, but yeah, I was like, Tim, why do they have a out-through of Bobaia?
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm like, yeah, they're probably just trolling him.
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know, like, oh, for real?
[SPEAKER_00]: Your own player.
[SPEAKER_00]: So, yes, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a whole day out to a out-through.
[SPEAKER_01]: Is that, is that picture on the back just him catching a regular flyball?
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I mean, yes, it's him just catching a fly ball and that's what the bottle had in the bottle had a Tim catching that saying five won.
[SPEAKER_01]: So not not scaling the wall or or anything.
[SPEAKER_00]: No, it just didn't end up reaching in pop up at the warning track.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it's so no, I had a really good time.
[SPEAKER_00]: It sucks at the rain just lost, but you know, apparently the guy in the Astros is
[SPEAKER_00]: winning the triple crown prince, because every time he came up the bat, he said, D-H, I forgot his name.
[SPEAKER_00]: So that's how much I care about Astro's baseball.
[SPEAKER_00]: But then I looked up on my phone and I was like, oh damn, he's leading in average RBIs and home runs in the A-L, I was like, so that's, I never said why they were chaining MVP, but then I was like, shout it, like, to the guy next to me.
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, y'all are 56 and 55, I ain't gonna have an MVP.
[SPEAKER_00]: And they were like, well,
[SPEAKER_00]: Did he, cause I remember Cobra again in B.P.
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't remember talking in B.P.
[SPEAKER_00]: But whatever, like I guess, I was just being ahead of it.
[SPEAKER_00]: I am ahead of it.
[SPEAKER_00]: I saw when it comes to the answer.
[SPEAKER_01]: I saw you posted that you had, I believe you're in Alvarez and so you were talking.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_01]: You know what I'm sorry.
[SPEAKER_01]: He, yeah, having to have it himself a season.
[SPEAKER_00]: There's Rangers kept walking him and they kept the fans were getting so mad.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm like, okay guys, there's two outs in a guy on second.
[SPEAKER_00]: First place is open.
[SPEAKER_00]: This is what you do.
[SPEAKER_01]: The old Barry Bonson offense.
[SPEAKER_01]: Zero for Zero.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I guess not offense more more approach.
[SPEAKER_01]: You know what I mean?
[SPEAKER_01]: But there were astros or Rangers fans in front of you and you made some friends in enemy territory.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, we were we were high five in the kid with not into the.
[SPEAKER_00]: He could go he had a he had a Rangers hat and an Astro shirt and he was more concerned with the cotton candy and the powerie and um yeah he was he was
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think he watched any baseball, but the dad, we were high-fiving every time the Ranger scored.
[SPEAKER_00]: We got a let's go Ranger's chat going on, but it didn't last long.
[SPEAKER_00]: They did the waves.
[SPEAKER_00]: They did the wave in the middle of the game.
[SPEAKER_00]: Like it wasn't even like boring.
[SPEAKER_00]: It was like, it was tied.
[SPEAKER_00]: Their bases loaded.
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's do the wave.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm like, what?
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, the way baked into it has got to be one of the worst elements of sports.
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, you could just sit down and then you get cramudially.
[SPEAKER_01]: I actually did you see this clip?
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know how long ago this was, but I just saw recently of, I'm, there was a guy, I think this was a really filled, there was a guy not standing up.
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe, maybe it, oh yeah, what's it written?
[SPEAKER_00]: What's it baseball?
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, oh it's a soccer guy.
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, was there a soccer one too?
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, no, no, no.
[SPEAKER_00]: I have to get up the Norwegian guy and he didn't do the rope because he said it wasn't his story.
[SPEAKER_00]: Mm-hm.
[SPEAKER_00]: I did it.
[SPEAKER_00]: I enjoyed that.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_01]: No, this was, this was, I had a baseball game during the National Anthem and there's a guy not standing up and there's a man behind him like berating him to stand up who served in the military and then smacked the sky and the back of the head and then the guy stood up.
[SPEAKER_00]: So, you guys stood up, proving violence.
[SPEAKER_01]: gets things done sometimes.
[SPEAKER_01]: But then I was reading a story that they made up afterwards, but it was mostly interviewing the guy who had slapped him.
[SPEAKER_01]: So I'm sure he's gonna make it seem like he came out on the right side of things.
[SPEAKER_01]: But man, it's rough.
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't mind standing for the National Anthem.
[SPEAKER_01]: And part of it is just because of a stretch, like you're going to be you're going to be sitting for so long in the game.
[SPEAKER_01]: Like if you're able to, if you're
[SPEAKER_01]: you've got some sort of injury or disability like you don't have to stand right you don't have to stand anyway really but it's America do what you want do what you please do what you feel did you get um i don't know you talk like it i was going to say did you get a hat that you immediately sold to a grandma oh no that's just me
[SPEAKER_00]: That's just you, you know, why would you need a Texas Rangers University of Texas, that's what I like.
[SPEAKER_01]: And now, Sean, to clarify, this was a bubble head that was just given to the first.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, so we got the fans or however.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, yeah, it was a giveaway when we walked in.
[SPEAKER_00]: So even though I was wearing a Ranger shirt, I too got a bubble head and kept it safe didn't want anybody to take it because I was like,
[SPEAKER_00]: Uh, I got to give this in somebody.
[SPEAKER_01]: This is, this is how giveaways used to be.
[SPEAKER_01]: I still remember this is the wildest giveaway I've ever gone.
[SPEAKER_01]: I think that I can remember at least was my dad and I went to a white socks game in late 90s or early 2000s.
[SPEAKER_01]: The giveaways we each got one were full size wooden bats with some white socks like logos and stuff on it.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: Can you imagine, like, how are they going to happen today?
[SPEAKER_01]: I feel like, it's not happening today.
[SPEAKER_01]: People, the guy takes his shirt off, he's like, man, the stomach.
[SPEAKER_01]: How could I, how could I take so much abuse?
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, let's see how much I can take.
[SPEAKER_01]: So that's a pretty wild one.
[SPEAKER_01]: But nowadays, Sean, I bring this up because I, you know, I have the quest to visit all.
[SPEAKER_01]: the major league baseball stadiums haven't been to any new ones this year, but we're changing it next month.
[SPEAKER_01]: I just booked a trip to Cleveland.
[SPEAKER_01]: I am baffled that there's no direct flights from Austin to Cleveland, but there are direct flights from Austin to Cincinnati and Austin to Columbus.
[SPEAKER_01]: Pretty sure Cleveland is bigger than both of those.
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know for sure that.
[SPEAKER_00]: The Cleveland have a university, maybe because it's awesome to sense an eddy.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I mean, there's Cleveland State, I could think of it.
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, okay.
[SPEAKER_01]: But we're doing a little tandem, are there's two reasons?
[SPEAKER_01]: I mainly want to visit.
[SPEAKER_01]: I, there's the game and then.
[SPEAKER_01]: the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame doing 50 years of SNL music, exhibition on top of some other things.
[SPEAKER_01]: So I'm like, that sounds fun.
[SPEAKER_01]: So nice.
[SPEAKER_01]: Those two places are pretty close to each other.
[SPEAKER_01]: They're like a mile apart.
[SPEAKER_01]: So, you know, we'll be centrally located.
[SPEAKER_01]: It'll be great time.
[SPEAKER_01]: But as I was looking up games, right?
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm really only there for one game.
[SPEAKER_01]: If I wanted to
[SPEAKER_01]: really planned this.
[SPEAKER_01]: It was more just the timing of it worked out.
[SPEAKER_01]: But the, uh, they're playing the white socks.
[SPEAKER_01]: So I get to see a Chicago team.
[SPEAKER_01]: Hopefully it's more exciting than the last white socks game I went to, which is a one-to-nothing victory.
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, where the, probably the, well, no, there was a really nice outfield catch, but there was a, um, play at the plate where I, white socks player, Michael Taylor.
[SPEAKER_01]: who retired after the season and I assumed this play was why, but he, I was round and third on a play at the play and missed touching the play when he slid into home play.
[SPEAKER_01]: So now it's the end of the game.
[SPEAKER_01]: Got correct.
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, he finished out the season, but I'm sure that was the moment that was like, all right, this is where we're done.
[SPEAKER_01]: But the whole reason I bring this up, I'm sorry for getting off on this tangent, is that I was looking at the promotional items
[SPEAKER_01]: Monday, and then if I wanted to extend the trip to Wednesday, then like the Tuesday game would be an option as well.
[SPEAKER_01]: Tuesday giveaway was nicer, but Monday, the giveaway is bark at the park.
[SPEAKER_01]: it's not really a giveaway.
[SPEAKER_01]: It is it will be bark at the park alongside a giveaway that's like a hockey sweater or something with what looks like a reference to kind of the old Indians logo like some it looks like a native American design on it.
[SPEAKER_00]: They're bringing back a red face.
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, it's not as bad as that but like it looks a little like it was in homage to the Indian
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, did not really have plans to get this because both of these giveaways were extra purchase things.
[SPEAKER_01]: Which I feel like is becoming more common.
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, yeah, to pay more.
[SPEAKER_01]: I remember going to a podries game where they said the giveaway was a Linus from Peanut's Bobblehead.
[SPEAKER_01]: And then I imagine my surprise, I walk through the gates.
[SPEAKER_01]: And I'm like, oh, are you out of the bubble heads already?
[SPEAKER_01]: And they said, oh, no, that's at a special area.
[SPEAKER_01]: In this, you know, behind the bright field or whatever.
[SPEAKER_01]: And then go there.
[SPEAKER_01]: And they said, oh, you have to, you know, that was a special ticket that you had to get.
[SPEAKER_01]: And I was like, oh, can I just pay the difference here for this bubble head then?
[SPEAKER_01]: They said, no, you had to have bought the ticket.
[SPEAKER_01]: And I was like, cool, I'm glad that was clearly stated on the website.
[SPEAKER_01]: Which maybe it was and I just didn't see it, but I was very distressed and that seems to be more common now.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's like you, there's some games where there's just a giveaway.
[SPEAKER_01]: And then there's some, you have to buy an extra ticket.
[SPEAKER_01]: And I feel like that's very misleading to the fans who are already spending quite a bit of money for just some garbage giveaway.
[SPEAKER_01]: Like none of these are that good.
[SPEAKER_01]: Aside from your all-too-day bubble head, the reason I went to the White Sox game, I know I talked about this on the podcast with Happen.
[SPEAKER_01]: It was to get the giveaway, which was a replica of the old Kabiski Park and also an AMFM radio.
[SPEAKER_01]: Seems like that would be pretty dang cool.
[SPEAKER_01]: I check eBay for that again.
[SPEAKER_01]: I remember looking at it shortly after the actual because the giveaway got postponed.
[SPEAKER_01]: It was supposed to be the day I was going and then like two weeks before we were like murdering your factoring issues.
[SPEAKER_01]: Postpone till the end of the year.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, they put everything in forgot to confer.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's just in the car.
[SPEAKER_00]: I've been there.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, but one other misleading thing about progressive field, which is
[SPEAKER_01]: The bark in the park, there's four events.
[SPEAKER_01]: This is all things I've learned as I was looking at seats for the skip.
[SPEAKER_01]: But there's four bark at the park events.
[SPEAKER_01]: And if you attend all four that's considered I rounding the basis, like the dogs round the basis.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_01]: And the way it's positioned, it seems like you can let dogs run around the basis.
[SPEAKER_01]: And I think that would be the cutest thing to see.
[SPEAKER_01]: I would love to see that.
[SPEAKER_00]: Can they be trained to run the base?
[SPEAKER_01]: Not the case.
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know if they could.
[SPEAKER_01]: Probably not because these are just people's dogs that they're bringing.
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, I'm sure it would be a mess.
[SPEAKER_01]: But it would be funny to see a group of dogs try to go around the basis.
[SPEAKER_01]: But all,
[SPEAKER_01]: The rounding the basis is that you get a little card and you get stamps each time you make it to a get so if you've been to all four you round the basis via your stamps and I don't think you get anything We certainly don't get to run the basis with your dogs, but I was just like that's it feels like false advertising maybe it's not actually but feels like it
[SPEAKER_00]: That is, oh, it's not, it fits, like I said, if, you got to let me know when you go.
[SPEAKER_00]: So the Astro State had this new thing, it was similar to like clear or global entry to where, like, so we got in, we had gotten our tickets and that what they want you to do on the app, is when we didn't notice, is you have to take a picture, whoever has to take, it takes a picture of their face, has to take a selfie.
[SPEAKER_00]: and then entering the number of the number of tickets that you have.
[SPEAKER_00]: And so we should have did that before we got there, but we got through line, and we didn't do the thing.
[SPEAKER_00]: So we had to walk to another person who gave us instructions on how to do that, and then we had to get back in line.
[SPEAKER_00]: So after we get back in line, we're going through security.
[SPEAKER_00]: And so they have the, like, these kiosk, with the, with the modern, and as you're walking up,
[SPEAKER_00]: It recognizes your face and says how many tickets you have.
[SPEAKER_00]: and then you go in.
[SPEAKER_00]: And so I'm, I'm, I'm curious if this is just a child thing with, in Houston or if other ball parks are doing it, but they're trying to go over Lintree type because it turns green just like the global entry does.
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's your face there with the terrible selfie you took because it's hot and sweaty outside.
[SPEAKER_01]: And you're just like, ah, did you find this was more efficient?
[SPEAKER_01]: Then no.
[SPEAKER_00]: No.
[SPEAKER_00]: No, like what, can I just hand you the phone, you scared my ticket?
[SPEAKER_00]: No, it was not.
[SPEAKER_00]: And so I don't know how they tracked that, oh, this ticket has been used because, I mean, I'm sure it is.
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, I'm sure if somebody tried to walk in with the same ticket, it wouldn't be, it wouldn't be, it wouldn't be, it wouldn't be, it wouldn't be, it wouldn't be, it wouldn't be, it wouldn't be, it wouldn't be, it wouldn't be, it wouldn't be, it wouldn't be, it wouldn't be, it wouldn't be, it wouldn't be, it wouldn't be, it wouldn't be, it wouldn't be, it wouldn't be, it wouldn't be, it wouldn't be, it wouldn't be, it wouldn't be, it wouldn't be, it wouldn't be, it wouldn't be, it wouldn't be.
[SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, I thought that was my first time seeing it.
[SPEAKER_00]: I was like, oh my god, so my friend just probably, I mean, I've paced this out there in it everywhere, but now it's with MLB.
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe it's easier to kick you out because you just gave away a muck shot to the stadium.
[SPEAKER_00]: And I thought it was weird.
[SPEAKER_00]: So you gotta let me know if Cleveland's doing the same thing.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll bring it.
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know if you know this, but I have a, um, I was going to get you a cardboard cut out of your head for one of your birthdays.
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, no.
[SPEAKER_01]: I, maybe I should still do that.
[SPEAKER_01]: I did a test run with a picture of my head.
[SPEAKER_01]: And it came up pretty well.
[SPEAKER_01]: So if I get one, you can use mine and I'll use, I use yours and we'll both secretly.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'll take your bathroom game with your cut out from the, are there bleachers at your games?
[SPEAKER_01]: I think so, yeah.
[SPEAKER_01]: We had a few, I don't think they were fans, actually.
[SPEAKER_01]: I think they were all supporting the other team, but we, that's, that's funny.
[SPEAKER_01]: We won by a million points, so it was okay.
[SPEAKER_00]: What's that, how does, how does air, did that game I saw you play?
[SPEAKER_00]: It was a forfeit.
[SPEAKER_01]: I think so.
[SPEAKER_01]: This, this one was five on five to start and then they had one guy come as a sub, but
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.
[SPEAKER_01]: We have to have nine people on the roster.
[SPEAKER_01]: Everyone was there week one and we've had two games with five people on one game with six and I think more is like I'm going to be missing two weeks.
[SPEAKER_01]: I know we have two or three guys out next week, so it's going to be
[SPEAKER_01]: It's not my fault now, it's not my fault.
[SPEAKER_01]: I've been to all the games.
[SPEAKER_00]: Let me play the pain of money, not to show them how dare you.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and then after the game, one of the guys was talking about, he's in a city league.
[SPEAKER_01]: So this league, we sent up his free agents.
[SPEAKER_01]: It was like $165 a person for seven games.
[SPEAKER_01]: And I was like, yeah, I know it's been a couple months since I've played, but I do not remember it being that much.
[SPEAKER_01]: last time.
[SPEAKER_01]: And then one of the other guys on our team was saying that he played in a city league and because the city owns the gym, they didn't need to, you know, add in all this extra stuff.
[SPEAKER_01]: And so that he said it was, I think he said it for the team.
[SPEAKER_01]: It was like $400 for the whole season, which is, seems like quite the deal.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: Me, former employee of the season, Bell's Feast on right because they don't change that much.
[SPEAKER_00]: So I think it's been that for a while.
[SPEAKER_00]: I had a double header in hockey yesterday.
[SPEAKER_00]: We lost the first one, four or two.
[SPEAKER_00]: We took a two-old lead, but then they had one guy on their team that just said, at this and took over and scored like a hat trick immediately.
[SPEAKER_00]: And so we were down.
[SPEAKER_00]: But in the second game,
[SPEAKER_00]: So we were, you know, we had a break at a game at 630 and then the second game was at 19 last night.
[SPEAKER_00]: And, you know, I was, you know, tightening up, I went to 711, had some cheetos and an energy drink, cause, you know, I'm a child.
[SPEAKER_00]: And so, and we, you know, I'm putting my stuff back on this all sweaty and gross from the first game.
[SPEAKER_00]: And then,
[SPEAKER_00]: we look and we're playing, and I didn't know this, we're playing against the team that had just played immediately.
[SPEAKER_00]: So we both had double headers, but my team had the break and the team with playing against did not have a black, that playing immediately back to back.
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, so we want 10 to 1.
[SPEAKER_00]: It was, it could have been a lot worse.
[SPEAKER_00]: It was like, it was 9 to 1 after the second, and we kind of just skated around the third, because it was run clock after that.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, schedule to make it, so apparently this was the, we didn't have games July 4th weekend.
[SPEAKER_00]: So this was to make up for that, but I don't understand why we couldn't have a game like move to like, to the Saturday before we're just more spaced out.
[SPEAKER_00]: It was, I felt so bad for the other two.
[SPEAKER_00]: Absolutely.
[SPEAKER_00]: Blugening them.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that's pretty, that's pretty rough.
[SPEAKER_01]: I feel like our game we did not.
[SPEAKER_01]: Like no, he's just kind of kept it down at it.
[SPEAKER_01]: It was it was not close.
[SPEAKER_01]: We it's someone in the the team's text chains So they needed a 40 piece from a guy and so that was our goal was to get him 40 and he got 40 with like nine minutes left No, that's like all you do now And essentially labs.
[SPEAKER_01]: He had a couple free throws and maybe one I don't know eat foot jump shot.
[SPEAKER_01]: Never think I was just this very like
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, we were talking about a wheelchair in Berlin, George Mike and Esklay at just very, you know, reverse.
[SPEAKER_00]: You have to kill him on purpose or he just had a mouse in the house the whole time.
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, we were, we were definitely feeding him, but they, this other team, I think I've brought this up.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm probably the fifth tallest person on this team at six to two.
[SPEAKER_01]: So this, this was a very, we had a very stacked vertical team and the other, the other team, I think.
[SPEAKER_01]: one guy maybe was five eleven and he was the most on athletic play.
[SPEAKER_01]: So he, he, I, I know they had one other guy who was right about the same I, but we, we would just routinely just someone would cut to like the free through our line and then they'd collapse on him and we'd just throw over the top and a guy would, would get it.
[SPEAKER_01]: I also almost, I had a couple of nice players, but I, I had one where I, beautiful
[SPEAKER_01]: caught it, was trying to gather it and it just slipped up off my arm, which was so sweaty.
[SPEAKER_01]: And I just tried to like roll it from my arm, like forearm into the bat.
[SPEAKER_01]: And it was not even fun, so just hit the bottom of the backboard.
[SPEAKER_00]: It was like, well, did you laugh?
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it was, it was real rough.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's like when you drop a, um, like a cup, like you're reaching for a cup out of a cabinet or something.
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, you're kind of like bubbling at the whole, that was me at all.
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, yeah.
[SPEAKER_01]: And it ended poorly, but it broke.
[SPEAKER_01]: I think everyone was fine because it was not close.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it's fine.
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh my, yeah, dog sitting a third dog in the house.
[SPEAKER_01]: And she's wiping her eyes aggressively.
[SPEAKER_01]: Probably because she doesn't sit her time.
[SPEAKER_00]: Don't worry.
[SPEAKER_01]: Again, Sean, we're bringing up full circle dogs or creatures of habit.
[SPEAKER_01]: They like the consistency.
[SPEAKER_01]: They want their males to be at the same time, just like we want our teams besides the Dodgers to try.
[SPEAKER_01]: The try.
[SPEAKER_00]: Just try, man.
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, don't just buy a team just so you can get the stadium deal and make bank.
[SPEAKER_00]: Try to win at least.
[SPEAKER_00]: Dang.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes indeed and if you want to extend this to other sports that there's talks of some of the lesser competitive NBA teams perhaps movie like the New Orleans Pelicans the Portland Trailblazers owner seems like he does not care to spend any money at least he's making so like I'm sure everybody else is like this guy
[SPEAKER_00]: Basically sports owners are just owning teams just so they can get the public fund for a stadium deal.
[SPEAKER_00]: They're not trying to win, they're not trying to do anything like philanthropic.
[SPEAKER_00]: They're just trying to get that stadium deal because that's a way to just blow your wealth out the water.
[SPEAKER_00]: And so that's what, so, and then now the Portland guy, this he's in the Portland guy episode.
[SPEAKER_00]: But the Portland guy's going to move the team obviously so I can get a new stadium so I can make bank it and sell the team.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's a tail.
[SPEAKER_01]: Doesn't care.
[SPEAKER_01]: The tail is old as time.
[SPEAKER_01]: Great investments.
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, on that sad note, your favorite team's moving.
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, we'll sigh heavily and just in... How the stars end the marriage?
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh boy, oh boy.
[SPEAKER_01]: All right, we've got, we've shunned.
[SPEAKER_01]: Shunned's rolling away.
[SPEAKER_01]: That was a great, great time to wrap it up because
[SPEAKER_01]: Get in fun, giveaways, from a baseball game, not dumb.
[SPEAKER_01]: Sports, hard-up.
