Speaker 2 (02:02):
I know, I don't think I've ever had it, so
I can't really so anything.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
So I just went so I had the can version,
which is the one that's like a little bit more carbonated. Okay,
did you know that they have the powders, Yeah, I yeah,
I like the powders. The powders actually pretty good.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
I've tried because Sarah got the munches protein powder. Well,
it was pretty good. I like the pre mixed bunchies better.
I've had it. Yeah, I've had that, but I've had
a lot of products.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
I just don't like it because for my size, it
takes me two of those two films.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
So, and it takes a lot of the protein out
of there for it to actually fill me up too.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
I also take a lower caffeine consumption than you doing. Today.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
Actually, today wasn't bad. Today was only well now it's
gonna be about two fifty still.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
Well, that's that's still high for me. It is, dude,
I have a coffee to day, that's it.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
Well, you're doing a lot better than me.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
Yeah, And to be honest with you, sometimes on the weekends,
I won't do a coffee. I'll just do nothing.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
I've straight away from coffee. I use coffee now as
more of a treat really. Yeah, well it's because I'll
actually go out and spend fucking twelve dollars on a
ground bag of coffee like Black Rifle or Death Wish
or I don't know, whatever sounds good and strong.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
I just get to be honest, I get the ten,
I get the hundred bocks from Sam's Club and rocket.
That's what I do for a week.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
I will fight this tooth and nail.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
I hate pods, I absolutely.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
I mean I would rather they're convenient.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
That's why they are convenient. I understand why, but I
would rather have pot coffee.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
Well, once my living situation switches, I think that I
would like to get one of those self filled curing things. Yeah,
where you do your own ground and I get good coffee.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
Bean.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
Say you want a little folders in your cup.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
Folders, fucking I would probably go with what he was
talking like a black rifle or a death.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
You set up the slogan because y'all are talking about Coll'm.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
You no, I know you don't like coffee, fucking weirdo.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
You're not You're not a breakfast man. You just don't
like anything in the morning.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
So here here's my marguting getting there, getting on that
train because of instead.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
Of getting a cuig, yeah, get a ninja pot coffee maker.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
Oh, they make pot coffee.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
If they make a pot, they make like pop. They
have a pot coffee maker and they also have a
single serving which all you do is you pull the
basket out.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
Yea.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
They have filters you buy, you drop the smell filter in,
pour coffee and shove it in, put your cup under.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
I know Curig has one very much like it too,
where you can do a pot or you can do
an individual.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
I like ninja because ninja brews stronger. I swear to God,
I don't. I mean, everybody's probably listening to this like
it's bullshit. No, I swear to god it. If you
brew your coffee right and ninja, it'll be strong. I
like strong coffee though, and really, if you want cheap
strong coffee, you get Cafe Pustello. Oh yeah, that's fucking
(05:08):
espresso ground. Yeah, Oh my god, that's Shit's like lightning
in a can. That shit'll fucking you want to talk
about some Cuban fucking sugar cheese rice.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
Fuck literally be pissing greatness, ain't you.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
Oh no, you pissed coffee for fucking twelve hours, especially
if you drink a whole pot like I did one day,
so I may or may not. When I worked in
the garages, I made a whole pot of that for
a sixteen hour shift, and nobody else would touch it,
so I had to finish it. Jesus, I finished it.
I didn't sleep, I was I was wide awake when
(05:45):
Sarah got home. I've been up for thirty two hours
by that point. My eyes were like this, Oh dude.

two or three natty lights, but I was out. I
remember that day. That was. That was a long one.

then let's do that pizza. What's on the mind.

Speaker 1 (18:36):

Speaker 3 (18:37):
I don't drink as much because you know, I got

a gentleman. Baseball. We wake up tomorrow and baseball begins.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
Opening Day, and you know what, that's funny. That's two
thursdays in a row. I've had something to celebrate. When
I drank a little bit too much beer for my
day off. Oh dude, last week. So last week I
went to U. I went to Dave's, Yes, and when
I walked into the garage, he had both his grills
(19:38):
going bourbon in his hand already. He goes, God, you're late.
I was like, dude, you just got off at five.

That's why I'm not.
Speaker 3 (20:30):
But I will stand with you with America's past time.
Speaker 2 (20:34):

over here, it's cheaper to go to A or double
A now like lower high A. Yeah, I mean, like

up there again, right, fucking given acteen bucks to get
in and then there's so many fucking seats you just
sit wherever you want. Akron maybe what twenty twenty five
thirty a mid twenty twenty I.

they'll have their first home game against Sint Paul.
Speaker 1 (21:22):

Speaker 2 (21:24):
Hang in the outfield probably playing tickets went twenty bucks.
Speaker 3 (21:27):
Then yeah, I think it's like twenty or twenty two.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
But still it's they're not plate tickets, but like behind yeah,
behind the it's probably behind like five or thirty.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
Yeah, that's where but where we set normally eight bucks?
Speaker 2 (21:40):
Oh yeah, off on the corner. Yeah, I mean it's
like all right.
Speaker 3 (21:45):
By the home the home dug at Wilepen is a
same thing.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
And while er did you not want to just take
them to a minor league game? Now it's cool to
go see the Guards, it's cool to go see the Reds.
It's cool to go see if you're up that way
Detroit Pitt, I mean Pitt's not far away.
Speaker 3 (22:03):
Those are really only major league teams are.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
Those are the four teams. But again you're paying a
fucking arm and a leg. Now what's cool with me
is with the state, I get a discount for Reds games.
I'm not even a Reds fan. I've never been a
great American.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
It's nice moll Park.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
I know someone still owes me a beer trip there,
but you know, allegedly one he lost. He acknowledged the
last time I saw him. He's like, well, I still
need to buy your beers at a great American. I
was like, I know you do.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
That is going to be an expensive time for him.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
No, no, it might have got cheaper. A couple of
years have gotten under my belt. So but no, baseball
is back warmer, Weather's already come back. This little can
go away.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
Cold not cool. Cold is back again though this week.
Can't to be the guy to tell you just hopefully
let's make.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
It is gonna be decent, but far anyway, the old
groundhogs are calling it true. So far spring is upon us.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
Yeah, I got Chuck had all right.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
Daylight is I can actually still see light coming through
the window over here.
Speaker 3 (23:14):
That's a positive.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
Sign.
Speaker 3 (23:16):
So baseball's back. We're going in.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
It's like the world is healing.
Speaker 3 (23:21):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
I can just smell grills, rolling tap beers, fresh cut grass,
sound of a back crack. Damn. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (23:34):
Absolutely, even have your radio on the porch just listening
to baseball.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
Me absolutely, absolutely sending a piss missile of a fucking
wiffleball into a backyard. We played wiffleball two weekends ago
over at them Laws. Fucking great time. Oh man, that's
what we need to fucking do we need to do
a wiffleball tournament.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
Dude, football tournament I was in in high school, wasn't
it was? We were going into our freshman year in
twenty eleven, we went there. They hosted one at Green Camp.
We were playing teams that have been playing with each
other for like multiple years since we made it to
the championship. And we lost. We lost on a bobbled
(24:18):
bobbled tag out at the plate. We lost. Yeah. That
was also when a bunch of grown ass men were
going to fight me because I was pitching and I
relayed it from my button from Bryston. I related it
from Bryston out in the center, and I fucking smoked
this dude in the back of the Head's like, I
threw it as hard as I could, trying to get
the ball and trying to get that little whiffle ball
(24:38):
to him as fast as I could. Fucking smoked him
in the back of the head. Come to find out.
By this point, like my dad, I think my buddy
Canton's dad was there. A couple dads were there. They
thought we were like like twenty year olds, like like
eighteen to twenty year olds. We were all like fifteen.
We were all in fourteen fifteen. So yeah, that's my
(25:02):
whiffleball debut. And then we went and tried to do
it again. They hosted it, I think sophomore going into
junior year, and we ended up losing in the in
the preliminaries. We didn't even make the Cup. So are
you ready yet?
Speaker 1 (25:18):
I'm somewhat getting through it. I got all my I
got all my important predictions. I can get the rest
as we go.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
Are you ready?
Speaker 3 (25:24):
I'm ready? One up?
Speaker 2 (25:24):
All right here here, you guys rock out. We got
the top of what you got your top of your
list on.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
I have the important ones. I need to just get
the champions and the worst teams.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
All right, cool, so we're good. Yeah, all right, so
predictions time, ladies and gentlemen, other things we can say.
Speaker 3 (25:42):
So why not?
Speaker 2 (25:43):
I don't think it's way too early now.
Speaker 3 (25:45):
Yeah, didn't night away? Well, I mean well not in
the night.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
I kind of kind of cheated and used some bias
with the ESPN one I was just looking at So
I like that last year? Yeah? Probably, And instead of
actually picking the ALCS matchups and the NLCS matchups, I
just picked the winners and then my overall World Series champ.
Speaker 3 (26:07):
A baby Steape.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
So let's just start with the al Sound good since
that's on the shop of the list. All right, sweet
Ale East, what you got?
Speaker 3 (26:18):
No, you're taking the I was gonna let Eacus normally
go full circle.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
Oh I got. I got Boston Red Sox. I every
article I've read, I can't disagree they are pretty loaded.
Every article I've read from before getting here, sitting out
in the parking lot and now remaking sure my picks
are correct. I gotta go with the Red Sox. I
think they're pretty stacked.
Speaker 3 (26:43):
I like that, don't get me wrong. I like that
because I wasn't the toss up back and forth and
I'm looking at other stuff too, But because they fucking
find their way and they're fucking money bags, and East
Side money bags is somehow going to win the East,
as in New York Yankees, because they's somehow paid to
take the fucking East. I hope Boston detrons them. I
really hope they do, but I hate doing it. I'm
(27:05):
sticking with it, Yankees.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
I the Yankees winning the East as well.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
I'm the weird one, all right, So onto the Adel Central.
Heard a lot of hearts on this one. I gotta
take Detroit on this one. I'm taking Detroit. Really, yep.
I'm gonna take the Detroit Tigers.
Speaker 3 (27:26):
I mean, Tigers did relow, they got players, they they
resigned something. They're looking good.
Speaker 1 (27:32):
They got Flarity back.
Speaker 3 (27:34):
Yeah, Jack's back, Derek's still there. Barker Meadows, I think
still got caught up, plus a lot of their guys
when they got sent down. They got to Toledo and
they're still rolling with Toledo and they get.
Speaker 2 (27:47):
Caught back up.
Speaker 3 (27:48):
Yes, but that's also because I've been to mont Hen's
game or two or seven last year. But baseball love
it anyway, make bowells, I don't think so, something about Cleveland.
Steven folks got it there. Yeah, we're gonna have me.
Tanner Beebes got his extension as he should. He's our
(28:09):
opening day starter as honestly, I think he should be,
because this guy is still fighting injury. Chane Bieber's not
coming back till midpoint. But again, we say it before,
We're gonna say it again. It's not a sprint, it's
a marathon.
Speaker 1 (28:25):
Absolutely, and.
Speaker 3 (28:29):
I think they still got the spark. I think Cleveland
could take the Central again. Respect I'm taking the Guardians.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
I don't think we get the Central. I agree with you, sir.
I think the Tigers have it. They got Flarty back,
and guys, you saw how amazing he was when he
played in the Central. He went over and played in
LA and he just wasn't. He was good, but he
wasn't what he was when he was in Detroit. Oh, absolutely,
So that's why they were able to sign him back.
(28:57):
I think he comes back to Detroit and he fucking
lights it up. We're talking Guardian Killer, Twins Killer, White
Sox Destroyer, who the hell's not gonna be White Socks.
Speaker 2 (29:07):
Disagree with Guardian's Killer. It's gonna be different when they
come to Cleveland.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
I think that we're gonna be when we have Flarity,
When Flarerty is on the mound, it will be a
one one nothing game or a two to one game.
Speaker 2 (29:18):
That's fine.
Speaker 1 (29:19):
There will be low scoring beat very good defense. I'm
telling you now, so high pitch counts. Well, love pitch counts.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
Low pitch yeah, Ao West. I actually this is where
I started throwing some curve balls out. I took the
Seattle Mariners on this one.
Speaker 1 (29:34):
Interesting.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
There was another one. It was close, but I didn't
like how close the voting was on this, and I
think Seattle has a better argument in the long run.
I think they have a better argument. Yes and no.
I love that.
Speaker 3 (29:49):
I really do, because honestly, I was sitting on that
hill and I'm like looking at all the teams within
the West Athletics, everything going on in that team as
they're going back to their farm league and calling their
big farm guys up and doing that, so they're kind
of rebuilding the La Angels. Mike Trout keeps fighting the
injuries and and they don't have Trout. They're calling up
(30:11):
their young guys, like literally, they just got one guy
that never pitched minor leagues and he made the MLB roster.
Kudos to him. But those two, the A's and the Angels,
we don't see them touching the West there. It's gonna
take a few years for them. Rangers. Texas is reload
and they have all their talent, but I don't think
they're gonna make it. So it's between Seattle and Houston.
Speaker 2 (30:35):
The top vote.
Speaker 3 (30:35):
Yeah, yeah, Houston did lose Alex Brigman because he did
go to Boston, which kudos proper movie loaded right again.
Put a pin in Boston for me real quick. But
something about who has Jose and all that, I don't know,
(30:55):
Like I went back and forth, but somehow, some way,
the a Ls always favors the Astros and somehow, some
way the Easton Astros are gonna win the West. I
hate saying it. I don't want to see it, but somehow,
some way they do. The Ashers and Yankees always won
their division and you're just like.
Speaker 2 (31:09):
Whyke.
Speaker 1 (31:15):
Twin the Al West? I have the Astros. They just
somehow every fucking year figure the fucking Yeah, I don't
get it. Again, I agree, they fucking they literally play
in the fucking clay and they like, oh, another real
West fucking win, you know, like they just keep getting
the al West and I will never understand it. It's
(31:35):
just they have the money.
Speaker 2 (31:37):
Sorry, trash cancer yeah.
Speaker 3 (31:39):
Literally yeah, okay, but the train whistle anyway, wild.
Speaker 2 (31:42):
Card spots, I'm just gonna rip mine off, and you
guys are gonna see something very hilarious about my list
if you've been paying attention.
Speaker 3 (31:49):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 2 (31:50):
First plot, I got the Guardians. I think they are
going to slide back into that one spot last year.
I think I took them winning it, winning the Central.
They were released that he take the wildcard. I took.
Speaker 3 (32:01):
I'm the only one that took them one the Central,
but you guys have them in the wildcar second one.
Speaker 2 (32:05):
I agree with your Astros argument, but I don't think
they find it the entire time. I took the Astros
or I put trash Cans as my second spot.
Speaker 3 (32:13):
Oh well, let me sink our Apple Watch real quick.
Speaker 2 (32:15):
Anyway, My third spot the Baltimore Orioles.
Speaker 1 (32:20):
So wait a minute, go through that three again.
Speaker 2 (32:22):
I'm so sorry Cleveland Guardians, Yes, Houston Astros, Baltimore Orioles.
What do I not have listed?
Speaker 1 (32:29):
You don't have the Yankees.
Speaker 2 (32:30):
I don't think they do it this year. I think
they come up very short.
Speaker 1 (32:34):
I would love that.
Speaker 3 (32:35):
I want it, but somehow, somebody I'd be ready for.
Speaker 2 (32:38):
Them to come up short. I have goosebumps because when
I was reading through everything, everybody else is predicting it.
They are gonna come up short because everybody else reloaded.
Speaker 3 (32:49):
Here's my thing.
Speaker 2 (32:51):
I do help that.
Speaker 3 (32:53):
But the Yankees somehow fine rhythm when they need to,
and when the injury bug hits them, they somehow just
weaseled their way through. But I would love the Yankees
to be eliminated, but I don't know. Again, this is
this is the sport where it's always a marathon, not
a sprint. So all right, time to rip off mine.
(33:15):
So starting with my first wildcard, of course, one, two, three,
it don't matter. It's my three wildcard teams. I have
the Boston Red Sox. I do think they'll try to
keep up. I had them going last year. They were
just a few games, like like, why they're predicting the
Yankees are gonna be this year. That's how Boston was
last year. Wildcard two or my second wildcard team, I
got the Seattle Mariners. I think they'll compete like this
(33:37):
team's loaded. This the team's got everyone looking Gilbert LUs
Castill and they got George Kirby right, and then in
there like their starting rotation is outstanding. And then if
they got Jay Rodd, who you over Roder? Haz he
was as solid as rookie year and he's just doing
fantastic things. JP finds rhythm right, He's got going cal Riley,
big dumper catcher, he got an extens he heads bombs.
(34:01):
You know it's gonna work out for him. Yeah, big
dump versus nickname. That's why I want player Weekend to
come back. I want his I want his MLB players
Jersey saying big dumper.
Speaker 2 (34:10):
On the back.
Speaker 3 (34:10):
I would spend money on that. But Seattle's got everything
looking going for him. ID my other wildcard team they
made it last year. I think it will be a competition.
I do want to say Detroit, But this team I
think will be sneaky, just like they were last year
and we're all like, how in the hell did they
make it? But if they find their bats at the
perfect timing, especially with the veteran behind the plate catching
(34:33):
the balls and getting everybody out, it might work. I
think Kansas City could sneak in and the Royals make
it to the playoffs.
Speaker 2 (34:41):
I think.
Speaker 3 (34:43):
That one's my stretch, but I won't know what it depends.
Speaker 1 (34:51):
I like where you're going, but I'm not on the
same boat you sneaky.
Speaker 2 (34:54):
Hey, we're in the same bet, we're the same way
it is.
Speaker 3 (34:59):
I'm in the same but here's the same thing. There's
three other teams. I think you could compete with it,
and I've been in different so that last one because
the Orioles, I think they could still compete, but they
could fall short. The Toronto Blue Jays they somehow were
picking up. They've been getting guys. If they stay healthy,
they may have a chance to fight for a walk cart.
And then the Tigers. Because I was back and forth
(35:19):
with Detroit in Kansas City. I really think the Tigers
could make it, but I think Kansas City has that
fighting chance too, So that last walldcar, I'm like, there
seams in the top.
Speaker 2 (35:29):
I think Minnesota has a fighting fighting chance in Kansas.
Speaker 3 (35:32):
City, Minnesota could, but Minnesota also has the injury again,
think about it. Minnesota had the injury bug hit them
last year right at the point where the injury budget hit,
which it cult, but Minnesota, which I see year Grin,
you got Minnesota, and I'm not going to count them
out either. I'm just sitting right there because I'm also
(35:52):
looking at the rotation because if it hits the rotation bat,
it's sitting the rotation bad. That's where I'm like at
Kansas City, say it's I think could sneak back in.
But again it's predictions. We're having fun with it.
Speaker 1 (36:06):
Three American League Wild Cards one, two, three. Number one
is the Red Sox. I'm telling you now, the Yankees
Red Sox series is back. Baby, be prepared. That is
going to be a good series. Base I'm telling you
now tis the season if you enjoy just general overall baseball,
that is going to be a series again. It's gonna
be It's kind of like how Ohio State Michigan kind
(36:28):
of took that wall when we were winning a lot.
It's coming back.
Speaker 3 (36:32):
Now it's going back in Michigan's favor, and.
Speaker 1 (36:34):
Now it's going to go back towards Boston's favor. Number two,
we're looking at the Guardians. I think they're gonna be
close with the Tigers, but I think the Tigers take
the edge in the AL Central and number three, my
little wild out of the out of the blue, little
piece team is the Twins. As you said, they took
(36:56):
a lot of hitting the injury bug last year, but
they still had that damn good team that they freaking had.
Absolutely just kept getting hit with the injury bug. I
want to know who else had to deal with the fucking.
Speaker 5 (37:05):
Injury bug and they came out of world champion the
fucking Rangers two years ago. Absolutely remember, injuries ruin a season,
and the Twins will be healthy and ready to go
this year.
Speaker 1 (37:17):
They will be a wild card team. Well they get
far in postseason, I do not believe.
Speaker 3 (37:21):
So right, which I did not disrespect. Like again, I
agree with you in Minnesota, but it at the right
time at the wrong time last year to wear it
they fell out. I felt like Minnesota could have that,
which is why Kansas City snucking facts nationally the other
way too.
Speaker 2 (37:37):
Always and a least should be I mean, we all
are pretty expressive with the AO, so I think probably
go a little bit faster.
Speaker 1 (37:45):
Yeah, really, I hardly.
Speaker 2 (37:46):
Pay attention to the NL.
Speaker 1 (37:48):
I've got a little eye.
Speaker 2 (37:49):
H and at least I got the Atlanta Breds.
Speaker 3 (37:52):
What do you think I got a T shirt on
that says twenty twenty one World Series Champions rolling the Cunya,
which shout out Dave and the call you're wrong on
that World Series. I had it right, You're wrong anyway.
It's beat on your trash can and she but I
hope you're doing well. Uh al East Onlana Braves.
Speaker 1 (38:07):
That's a three.
Speaker 3 (38:08):
Keep there anyway, leaders are hard.
Speaker 2 (38:12):
Three right Central. I got the Milwaukee Brewers on this one.
Speaker 1 (38:16):
Boo, they're old.
Speaker 2 (38:18):
It's okay. Old heads will usually pull and prevail. That
doesn't mean they're going to make it to a World Series.
Speaker 1 (38:23):
That's why Christine Howich is old.
Speaker 2 (38:25):
Get them.
Speaker 1 (38:25):
The Walker.
Speaker 3 (38:27):
Got a lot of talent, that's okay, I get it.
Speaker 1 (38:30):
We just don't want to say the team that's really
gonna win the East or the Central. You really don't
want to say it because it hurts you internally, mentally
and emotionally. You can cry in the shower tonight if
you had to say it. I know you would.
Speaker 3 (38:42):
Next. Oh, I know, I know what you're talking about.
Speaker 2 (38:46):
It Why you gotta put me on blasts like that?
Speaker 1 (38:48):
Have to?
Speaker 2 (38:48):
I know you don't like it on because I don't
want to say the Chicago Cubs.
Speaker 1 (38:54):
Holy what's in that?
Speaker 3 (38:57):
Hey? It just described our propery. That's the fuck? You mean?
A stroke? So uh yeah we know that. Nay, the
Saint Louis Cardinals. So anyway, wrong red team. Yeah, I
took a red team and it bit me in the ass.
But actually I think then now Central can end out
(39:17):
in the tie and then they'll have to play a
tie breaker game.
Speaker 1 (39:19):
That's your team that you think has a sixty third
game or one hundred and sixty third game?
Speaker 3 (39:24):
Two teams in this division in this division?
Speaker 1 (39:26):
Yeah, you think that's one hundred and sixty three?
Speaker 3 (39:28):
Could be? Who is it? Spell the t Well, I'll
spill the tea by there's more tea to spelled because
I'm also gonna get a fucking ghost of visit me
because if I don't take the team again predictions, who
fucking knows? Uh? So for the Central, I'm wroll with
the Cincinnati were at some winning again even though it
brought me in the ass. Different situation exactly.
Speaker 1 (39:52):
Yeah, who's the other team that they play? Or is
that giving away a wild card?
Speaker 3 (39:55):
Is giving away a walk? O?
Speaker 1 (39:56):
Okay, okay, I'm also jumping on this boat in bandwagon
Tito is an amazing manager. Hopefully he's gotten his health
into a better situation. It sucks he's not in Cleveland,
but we were left in a good opportunity, in a
good situation with what we have.
Speaker 2 (40:11):
With vote again, you guys are going to see a
common trend with the guy that seems like you've read
a little bit more baseball nomenclature than most reading.
Speaker 1 (40:19):
West.
Speaker 3 (40:20):
I can't West to make sure he took Cincinnati. Absolutely,
that's what I want to.
Speaker 1 (40:25):
Know, West.
Speaker 2 (40:26):
I had to take Los Angeles Dodgers. I had to
take the walk and take Dodgers. I had to fuck it.
Speaker 3 (40:34):
Rockies, No, I'm taking hold on. Let's say the name
the West Coast money team.
Speaker 1 (40:41):
They're on my list, but I don't think they're what
you have on your list, the Rockies. I think we
all have them in the same spot.
Speaker 3 (40:48):
Honestly, I feel like the Rockies may not even make
my lists, but different stories that made my list just
not in the right way. I'm left them off the list,
but for other reasons. But we'll see anyway. Yeah, so
three sweep Dodgers, fuck you anyways?
Speaker 2 (41:01):
All right, ship, move along? All right? For okay, my
first of three wild Cards. Call me crazy for this.
There were so many to choose from. I took the
Arizona Diamondbacks, crazy, New York Mets, Okay, San Diego Padres.
I don't think the Reds make it. They're out by
(41:23):
one game.
Speaker 3 (41:24):
I get that. That is wow.
Speaker 2 (41:28):
Again. I think this is a this is going to
be a very uncommon year for baseball.
Speaker 1 (41:36):
You think it's going to be an uncommon year. I
think you're wrong. There's a lot of thinking being done.
That's what's going on.
Speaker 2 (41:41):
What if the fuck out of everything? But you know,
that's why they call it predictions.
Speaker 1 (41:46):
They haven't thrown a baseball over a plate yet, so
it's all speculation.
Speaker 3 (41:52):
Mm hmm. So speaking of thirty tea time, any yeah, anyway, Uh,
did you guys hear about America Park The Tigers actually
just took out the dirt connecting pictures mountain home plate.
Now all baseball teams don't have it no more. Allegedly
that rumor happened. They said that yesterday when they were
re selling the field, they took the dirt out from interesting,
(42:14):
which is heartbreak it is. Anyway, said so my wild Cards,
I might make Dalton jump the table, but we'll see. Uh,
chicag Cubs make a wild card.
Speaker 2 (42:25):
Oh, it's just bringing up bad memories. It's okay, I'm
gonna jump the table.
Speaker 3 (42:30):
They did some signings. I don't know how, but I
think they sneaked.
Speaker 1 (42:34):
Baseball hasn't been back in Chicago since a rough rough
time in our life. I know, but I could barely drive.
Speaker 3 (42:44):
Somehow, some way, I'm like, like, shut up, hey, it
hurts me too, it hurts all of us. Somehow they
did the signs, some signings that they did. Then you know,
who fucking knows. It's a stretch, but it's predict I
hope I'm wrong on it. Anyway, Yes, someone's getting the
buzz anyway. Uh Philadelphia Phillies, I don't know that number.
(43:09):
They fight in the East. They got it and my
third wild card. I'm going out West. But you took
them last year. They signed a n Ace picture, they
got a few bats back and some guys that could
swing a back. I think the San Francisco Giants could
(43:31):
sneak in for a wald card, but the Mets and
the Potteris I think could also fight for it.
Speaker 1 (43:36):
This fucking guy, this fucking guy, the Giants.
Speaker 3 (43:40):
Yeah, I'm jumping on the San Francisco.
Speaker 1 (43:42):
This fucking guy, he wants it to be fucking you
really wanted to be twenty twelve again, don't you? You
really missed twenty twelve?
Speaker 3 (43:50):
No, I just missed.
Speaker 2 (43:50):
I suppose he buddy, you really are looking at they're
not even on it.
Speaker 3 (43:56):
Well that's one guy on ESPN. You're there's other MLBA.
Speaker 2 (44:00):
This was the most this was the most red like,
this is the highest voter pick and they're not even
on the fucking list. Hey, you know what, that's why
they call it predictions. That's all I say.
Speaker 1 (44:12):
I love it.
Speaker 3 (44:13):
I'm want them wrong.
Speaker 2 (44:14):
I want them wrong, all right.
Speaker 1 (44:17):
But if he's right, he's fucking crazy and.
Speaker 3 (44:20):
Calling Mark and I'm not answering anyway.
Speaker 1 (44:23):
Three wild Cards, number one, Padres, number two, the Mets,
all right. Number three is the Diamondbacks. I'm leaving the
Brewers off. No, you had the Brewers winning the Central.
Speaker 2 (44:34):
Yeah, I think they will.
Speaker 1 (44:35):
The old they will not.
Speaker 2 (44:36):
The old Heads will prevail.
Speaker 1 (44:37):
No Christian, which is the only person on that team.
Speaker 2 (44:41):
You don't know that I do.
Speaker 3 (44:44):
I've read the rosters. I looked at the rosters.
Speaker 1 (44:48):
It is not the Brewers time anymore. I know you
love beer. It is not the year of beer.
Speaker 3 (44:56):
Hey, their ballpark name ain't Miller Park no more. They
changed it.
Speaker 1 (45:00):
That's bullshit, facts, sols.
Speaker 2 (45:05):
So, I just picked the winner I have.
Speaker 1 (45:09):
I have the matchup.
Speaker 2 (45:10):
I have the winner. If I were to predict, yes,
the matchup in the ALS A l C s be
Boston Red Sox. I want to go with them, do it.
I don't think I can do it just because I
didn't put an I'll put let's say the Guards cards.
Speaker 1 (45:31):
Okay, Boston Red Sox win though, Okay, Chris.
Speaker 3 (45:36):
That's two thousand and seven, all of.
Speaker 2 (45:37):
You, that's what I think is gonna happen. Everything is
going back in time.
Speaker 3 (45:45):
I'm going I'll go back in time too. But does
motherfucker gave me two thousand and four vibes? I'll go
Yankees Red Sox for the al Yes, Red Sox win it.
Speaker 2 (45:54):
Dude, that'd be like the most watched game of based
on two thousand and four facts.
Speaker 3 (46:00):
That's why said we'll go back to let me after
years back. That sucks. Yankees punches to.
Speaker 1 (46:06):
Be thrown during that series.
Speaker 2 (46:07):
I feel like America's healing the manager.
Speaker 1 (46:10):
I swear to God, if a bald eagle does not
land on the field during the national anthem of the
first game of that series. If it happens, I would
cry if it happened. First thing, it would be beautiful.
America had healed.
Speaker 2 (46:25):
America is healing facts.
Speaker 3 (46:27):
But what James facts? Will James Paxon be on the
somewhere on the field where the eagle can land on
him and he gets startled? Maybe he did in what
twenty eighteen? Yeah, big Maple shows a saint in Seattle.
Speaker 1 (46:37):
Anyway, the Red Sox will beat the Tigers in the
AOCSPEC beat the Tigers.
Speaker 2 (46:43):
Yes, the Tigers are going to make it that far.
Speaker 1 (46:45):
I think the Tigers losing the Alds. Hey, I think
the Tigers can do twelve right there. I think the
Tigers can do it.
Speaker 2 (46:53):
Okay, all right, and I'll see us. Yes, I have
the Atlanta Braves in the Los Angeles Dodgers. I have
Atlanta Braves beating them. Wow, bold, I have a I
have a game seven. They are going Game seven.
Speaker 1 (47:06):
Fuck okay in l A. In l A because LA
is gonna have the most wins again in LA They'll
go unless they get injureds But which you got?
Speaker 3 (47:16):
I second that I got Braves Doctars Braves winning and.
Speaker 2 (47:20):
I even hyphenated game seven. Uh.
Speaker 1 (47:22):
I like the matchup. I think the Dodgers win it.
Speaker 2 (47:26):
All right. Well, so my world series is Boston Boston.
Speaker 1 (47:32):
I got Boston Atlanta.
Speaker 2 (47:33):
Yeah, I got Boston. I think I think Boston reloaded
hard enough. They can go for a runch as long
as they play the right games the right way they
could go. They could go a long way and it's
a marathon. But I got against them.
Speaker 3 (47:46):
Yeah, so my world series will be Boston and Atlanta. Obviously,
since we got the same I'm going opposite. I think
Atlanta can do it again.
Speaker 2 (47:57):
You're gonna go what game six or Game seven?
Speaker 3 (47:59):
I think no, one hundred percent. I think it will
still be a seven game series.
Speaker 2 (48:02):
Because I was Boston in five.
Speaker 3 (48:05):
I think if Atlanta takes it, Atlanta will take in
So now, can it be a three to one death sit?
Speaker 2 (48:11):
I highly doubt it.
Speaker 3 (48:12):
Because I think it could be two to two like that,
and then Atlanta takes it at home, and then they
sneak one in Boston, which wuld be Game seven. But
Atlanta did light up some of their starters and get
some back. So plus when the Dodgers last one in
the World Series. Uh, Atlanta won it. So superstition, let's
roll with it. Jimmy Braves and seven World Series champs.
Speaker 2 (48:34):
I've been wearing the same jockstrap since twenty fourteen. It's
twenty twenty five. Hey, whatever, flesh your boat, hey man,
I lived a superstition life. It was it was fun,
all right, Champ.
Speaker 1 (48:48):
Thanks for Dodger's Red Sox. Dodgers repeat, motherfucker No.
Speaker 3 (48:55):
Twenty eighteen World Series.
Speaker 2 (48:56):
I don't want that.
Speaker 1 (48:57):
Yeah, all right, Well, so.
Speaker 3 (49:00):
The Dodgers clean sweet for how many are you thinking?
Speaker 1 (49:04):
Five games?
Speaker 3 (49:05):
Gentlemen?
Speaker 1 (49:06):
Gentlemen? Sweep five? Dude?
Speaker 3 (49:09):
You got five too.
Speaker 1 (49:11):
You can't hey that much damn money and not get
a World championship against them.
Speaker 2 (49:17):
Can't load that big of a fucking nobody has the.
Speaker 1 (49:21):
Money the Dodgers do.
Speaker 3 (49:22):
Right now, you're saying their name wrong. West Coast money bags.
Speaker 1 (49:26):
I forgot the West Coast.
Speaker 3 (49:28):
That's probably gonna be the East Coast money versus.
Speaker 1 (49:31):
Talk about the most important part of the most important part.
Who's the worst team in the A?
Speaker 2 (49:37):
I have mine.
Speaker 1 (49:38):
I'm ready.
Speaker 2 (49:38):
It's a Chicago White Sox.
Speaker 3 (49:41):
Shit.
Speaker 1 (49:42):
I didn't even think about the White Sox. I put
a different team on that.
Speaker 2 (49:45):
There is a big bet right now on whether Chicago
wins over fifty three games.
Speaker 1 (49:53):
I think they go for the wreck.
Speaker 2 (49:55):
Money line is for them plus four hundred right now.
If they win over fifty three games, Jesus, that's a
huge I'd be slamming that button left and right, but
I'd be going the other way because I don't think
they're gonna make it to fifty three. I think they
hit fifty two.
Speaker 1 (50:15):
All right, what do you got, al it's on your list?
Speaker 3 (50:19):
I mean, I doubt you better, Filly. Of course I
feeled it so as bad as I hate to say,
I want to say it, but I think that Charlotte
Knights could bete there be Atilia Chicago Ices. Yeah, I agreed, no,
(50:42):
but they they're trying to make moves. Did they make
a couple of good moves? Not too shabby, but they
needed to make more and they weren't making more. Yes,
the Traveling Circus will sweep them this season and whatever
man is as games they got anyways, Yeah, the White Sox.
Speaker 2 (51:02):
Chicago Black Sox on that one we're bringing back.
Speaker 1 (51:06):
So I had the a's but after you guys, brought
up the White Sox situation.
Speaker 2 (51:10):
I forgot, dude. No, the A's are already better. They're
gonna win sixty fucking games.
Speaker 1 (51:15):
They're actually gonna maybe win games. Yeah, hey, sixty two.
All right, let's talk about the real conversation. Who's your
n OL team?
Speaker 2 (51:21):
Colorado Rockies?
Speaker 1 (51:23):
Yeah? Who you got?
Speaker 2 (51:24):
Colorado Rocky Yeah?
Speaker 3 (51:28):
Uh at the Rockies them have finished better than somebody.
Speaker 1 (51:32):
It'll be the White Sox. Well, the White Sox, but
they could.
Speaker 3 (51:36):
Be better than the Marlins, cuz the Marlins are not
gonna look good either.
Speaker 2 (51:40):
It was little Marlins might be last. It was between
Colorado or Miami, and I had to pick Colorado.
Speaker 3 (51:47):
Uh, I'm leaning towards my You know what, Fuck it,
those two tie, they'll find a way to win.
Speaker 2 (51:53):
It would probably three.
Speaker 1 (51:55):
I think they have to play a final in a
one hundred and sixty third game to find out who's
the worst.
Speaker 3 (52:00):
They have to call up Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp.
Speaker 1 (52:05):
Classic. I'm going with the Rockies up.
Speaker 3 (52:08):
I think the Rockies might finish better than the Marlings.
Speaker 2 (52:10):
But yeah, Ti da ladies and gentlemen, we will revisit that,
hopefully most likely June July. Yeah, round that.
Speaker 3 (52:23):
Back and Chris could be like, wow, I was a dumbass,
which I'm already doing that.
Speaker 1 (52:28):
Oh yeah, I do that every day now after this
past weekend because March Fennos.
Speaker 2 (52:33):
All right, yeah, my brackets busted. Okay, I'm good, Yep,
we're good racket. There were a lot of good games, though.
I'm actually I'm gonna pull up my breath.
Speaker 3 (52:42):
You calling Florida doesn't know? You didn't one?
Speaker 2 (52:45):
Yes, I have a bracket in the fifty percentiles, so
I ain't doing too bad now. And I picked Texas
Tech to win it.
Speaker 1 (52:52):
Dang stupid.
Speaker 3 (52:54):
It makes you feel better.
Speaker 2 (52:55):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (52:56):
I filled out a couple of rackets, and because I
watched the team from the Big East, I had full faiths.
Speaker 2 (53:03):
The first game that killed me was Louisville Creighton I Tooksville.
Speaker 3 (53:10):
I was a toss up bracket. I took the next.
Speaker 2 (53:13):
Scared everybody against you. You see San Diego from what
and this is for me just watching.
Speaker 1 (53:21):
These I'm pissed. Do you see San Diego didn't win.
Speaker 2 (53:24):
I picked Marquette. I picked Marquette to beat New Mexico.
Oh no, I'm sorry. I picked New Mexico to no sorry,
fuck I can't read. I picked you. I picked Oklahoma
to beat Yukon. That was my nine to eight seed
that I thought was gonna be what the fuck Kansas,
(53:50):
Kansas beat Kansas, the better Kansas. I picked Kansas. Sad
pick Saint John's because Omaha. First off, Omaha, I've never
heard of Omaha until now, so sorry. I picked Baylor
over Mississippi State. That was seventy five to seventy two.
(54:13):
You were dumb if you picked Liberty because Oregon beat
him badly, just as well as I picked uh VCU
to beat b YU. That was my other episode. It
was eleven six. Keep scrolling, keep scrolling. Uh the Clemson,
I picked Clemson. I picked Clemson. Congratulations McNeese. That's uh,
(54:38):
that's a great one I took.
Speaker 1 (54:40):
I took him to the.
Speaker 2 (54:42):
I thought I thought a high point could be an
upset against Purdue. No, No, I was wrong, and then yeah,
I got the rest right. Other than oh, this is
the worst pick of all that I have on here.
I picked Utah State to b U c l A
and they lost by like over thirty points.
Speaker 1 (54:58):
So I picked Georgia and beat Gonzaga.
Speaker 2 (55:02):
But sadly, Purdue came and beat McNeice. You know, congratulations
to them make almost making the sweet sixteen. There are
no lower to your teams in the sweet sixteen, no,
so I think this is kind of.
Speaker 3 (55:15):
First time in a while, this first time Arkansas's attendency.
Speaker 2 (55:20):
Okay, I'm talking lower than a yeah, like right on
a ten seed. I mean, come on, you're you're pretty.
Speaker 3 (55:26):
Close power for conference schools.
Speaker 1 (55:28):
So any notable ones that you had, I went on
the limp.
Speaker 3 (55:35):
Because again I fill out a couple of brackets. Yeah,
I watched Saint John's a lot this year. I think
that's why I looked great. Great with Tina was great.
Of course you had a good coaching matchup with John
cal Perry. And uh, I thought about one bracket, so
I have a team from the Big East couldn't win
it him though I doubt it. But for shits and giggles,
I take Saint John's. They might have a legit shop
that bracket busting. But uh, the actual team I took
(55:57):
for National champion is still alive, which I'm like, let's
with it.
Speaker 2 (56:01):
Texas Tech as Arkansas. I don't know why I picked
Texas Tech. I just that's when I was doing this bracket.
It fell into those. So yeah, it seems like a
lot of people took Florida.
Speaker 1 (56:12):
So So to give you two notable games that I
really fucked up on. Other than that Georgia game, I
took Akron to upset Arizona. Oh and my other one
that I really messed up on and I took way
too far in the bracket. I took Iowa State into
(56:33):
the final four.
Speaker 2 (56:35):
Brother, Yeah, so didn't I? No, I didn't. I had
him losing an Elite eight.
Speaker 1 (56:42):
I had Iowa State upsetting Michigan State.
Speaker 2 (56:47):
Oh yeah, that's see, that seems predictable.
Speaker 1 (56:50):
No, I had him upsetting New Mexico State. That whole
bracket area was just fun. That was what the area did.
Speaker 2 (56:56):
They There was an interesting pitch of lower seed teams.
Speaker 1 (57:02):
It was very fun, colorful, very interesting.
Speaker 2 (57:06):
Okay, that's really all I got on that.
Speaker 1 (57:09):
Okay, let's talk a little NFL free agency and then
and some coaching convo and bring it together.
Speaker 2 (57:17):
I mean free agency. We just saw the Giants sign
Russell Wilson.
Speaker 3 (57:22):
Yeah, and stuff on things on New England.
Speaker 2 (57:25):
There's a lot of other stuff. There's a lost archive
somewhere that where we talked a little bit more about it,
but I can't really think of any other big signings
other than.
Speaker 1 (57:33):
That right now.
Speaker 3 (57:34):
And Rodgers, I guess, got denied by the Viking, so
he will not follow the Brett Farve legacy the trail.
Speaker 1 (57:43):
Do it for the storyline?
Speaker 2 (57:44):
Yeah boo that man.
Speaker 3 (57:46):
The state of Mississippi is probably happy anyways, probably mostly so.
Steelers were kind of looking at that. But but free
agency talk, some draft news. The Steelers were also working
out Will Howard. But yeah, well, don't forget. Jameis Winston
also signed with the Giants. Giants definitely want to eat dubs.
Speaker 2 (58:11):
Jamis Winston. He don't get no more Sweinson's so eh,
double fuck off?
Speaker 3 (58:18):
Hey more Sweatsons for us?
Speaker 1 (58:21):
So yeah, stop seen dubs. He'll be eating dubs.
Speaker 2 (58:26):
He's gonna be eating fucking Buffalo wings. It's the only
thing he's gonna be fucking know, that's Buffalo Italian He's
gonna be. He's gonna be fucking Italian subs and ship.
It's always gonna be fucking fucking Guido.
Speaker 1 (58:42):
You got anything else big on the mind that you need?
Do you want to talk coaching stuff?
Speaker 2 (58:47):
Browns? Oh yeah, yeah, that's a big one. The Browns
are still fucking up somehow, some way.
Speaker 1 (58:53):
They're just fucking spending money we don't have right the
players that we shouldn't take.
Speaker 2 (58:58):
Yeah, I'm just waiting for h when's this Nick Chubb
contract coming up? Needs to so we're spending money in
all the wrong places though, yep, so on two three.
Other than that, I mean, ready for the draft.
Speaker 1 (59:14):
Yes, stop ruining life. The Cleveland Browns already do well
with that. You don't have to help them.
Speaker 2 (59:20):
Shut your face, chut your face, just shut up, man.
Speaker 3 (59:26):
Giants will take them before y'all.
Speaker 2 (59:27):
So it's okay AnyWho coaching. Yes, there's uh, there's been
a hot topic for a minute that we haven't really
talked about. We're going to isolate it kind of as
like a as a how can I say this just
a topic alone, just for to do an entire podcast with. Yes.
(59:51):
I don't really remember how the conversation sparked up because
it's been so long, but oh it was local.
Speaker 3 (59:57):
Yeah, we were talking about one in the local high school.
Speaker 2 (59:59):
So, oh, we have a local high school here, which
I'm gonna be honest, I give kudos to them because
they've built their staff since we've last talked about this.
Here's the problem that I have with this. They're putting
it out there on pen and paper like they have
all of this experience coming in. Now. This is a
(01:00:21):
high school that's pretty well known in this county. It's
got his name in it, for God's sake. No, it's
not Maryon Local, Marion Harding, Okay local anyway, yeah, Miller,
Marion Local. Actually Marion Local should go actually try to
play like a D three team and see if they
can actually survive. I don't think they would. D three.
I think they could. I don't think they could.
Speaker 1 (01:00:44):
I think I'll play Harding and D three they'll be fine.
Speaker 2 (01:00:51):
So I have a problem with coaches going in and
out of inside the same county, especially inside the same conference,
because of complaints from parents. Is what I've heard is
why this coach is now where he's at, which good
for him. I think this is a good spot for
(01:01:12):
him to land. But this is just a teaching point
to where you cannot build culture, which this man was
building a winning culture at he was starting at his
former high school, which was pleasant. But he was eleven
to eleven, which it makes it tough to sell. You're
(01:01:34):
five hundred but you only have him for two years. Okay,
if I don't, If I recall this, it takes you
four years to get through high school.
Speaker 3 (01:01:43):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (01:01:43):
So why are coaches left and right getting kicked And
then they're like, I'll just go back to ma alma
mater and they'll build it. They'll stack, they'll stack coaches,
but we'll get to that. Why. I think that's not
good either. I don't understand. No culture will change unless
you keep the same person there. Trust me, three different
(01:02:09):
coaches through my high school career. The only time I
had stability was college.
Speaker 3 (01:02:16):
So I mean, I mean I wented technically varsity wise,
three different coaches. Yeah, my high school.
Speaker 2 (01:02:23):
Year two and it was ship probably uhuh Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:02:28):
So we brought we brought one guy who coached Springfield,
got them or all real good, got them pretty much
competing for a state title or runner up or vice versa.
Bring him in sophomore and junior year. We finished three
and seven and then they let him go.
Speaker 2 (01:02:47):
Yeah. It's literally to the point where I think, Okay,
a there could be something that we don't know, and
it could be so this all could be.
Speaker 3 (01:02:55):
A boy and we don't know because it's some of
it's hush hush.
Speaker 2 (01:03:00):
It's hush hush, it's not public knowledge, which if it
doesn't have to be, that's fine. But what I'm saying
is this, a good coach just doesn't go. Yeah, I
gotta go like I'm going somewhere else now, especially when
towards the end, Pleasant was starting to work their way up,
especially in the MLAC slowly, but I mean they were
getting there. Now they have to completely flip everything, yep,
(01:03:25):
and that's I mean, that's fine with them. I hate
Pleasant no matter what. But so here's what I get
with this. I've been with a lot of different coaching staffs. Okay,
when you don't have long tenures, you tend to have
less your ten You tend to have less confidence in players,
less confidence in parents of having players play, which then
(01:03:48):
ends up losing people wanting to come out and play. Okay,
experience that hand like hand in hand when I was
at Elgin for two years because I was seeing what
they built from where they came. When elgind can only
field you know, nineteen guys, last year we had forty eight. Okay,
(01:04:09):
there's literally a five year difference between the two teams.
I just said, so and the year before we had
fifty one guys. We're a D six school of fifty
one guys, we should be legitimately D five, but we weren't.
So and we last year, I'll say this, we had
a pretty stacked coaching staff. We had a lot of experience.
(01:04:29):
So and here's where I find an argument with this.
So I've been watching Marion Harding ever since they hired
their new head coach, and I've been seeing every single
coach they're hiring, and I look at him, I'm like,
there's way too many chiefs and not enough Indians. I've
(01:04:51):
been a part of staffs like that too. And the
worst part about having way too many chiefs and not
enough Indians culture shock, nobody going, something's gonna go the
wrong way. Somebody's gonna tell somebody to do something else, different,
temper slares you lose a game.
Speaker 1 (01:05:08):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (01:05:08):
Okay, been a part of that too. It's not fun,
but I I mean I A coworker of mine says
it best when I was talking about this a couple
of days ago, said, man, these guys are really selling
it all out to try to get as many good
guys as they can in coaches don't win games. Yep,
the players do, so they have the backing for it.
(01:05:31):
But we'll see. So I just I don't understand why
parents get pissed off when little Johnny or little little
whoever doesn't go out and play, and they'll bitch, fight
and moan because of certain things. Now I know there's
other stories I can talk about, which I'll get to
here in a second, especially a baseball one that's related
(01:05:53):
in this county. You don't breed success without dealing with failures. Okay,
So that means you have to deal with the failures
that come to breed success. But the problem is the
one man driving that ship. If you get rid of it,
who's going to take over? It makes sense. So that's
(01:06:15):
something that I've learned over out of shit since I
started coaching when I was twenty one. I and even
just watching coaches and talking with coaches, you know, for
long forever. I literally feels like since I was like fourteen,
I can remember almost every conversation with the coach I've had,
(01:06:35):
and it's like I understand now being in their position,
like the frustrations they had to deal with at both
levels high school and college, and you know, the fact
of you are fighting for a job. You know, I'll
be honest. I was sitting at one point, I was
sitting at a high school with that of the previous
high school I was at with our head coach, and
(01:06:58):
we were both talking whether or not we're both gonna
have a like because I told him, he goes, I'm gone,
like I'm not coming back, because that's the only reason
why I was sitting in that building was because of him.
So and he's still there. I And like I said,
I hope they do really well. I hope they do
really well this season. I have high hopes for him.
(01:07:19):
But it's you can't you can't breed success without breeding
your without dealing with your failures. And I don't think
a lot of parents understand that. Is that they just
see this kid's play not playing, this kid's not playing,
this kid's not playing, and then they bitch and then
next thing, you know, tempers flair, stuff's not going the
right way, which then causes conflicts inside the locker room,
(01:07:40):
which then it all. It's a snowball. Okay, it's like
a big snat. The problem is, and I mean, I'm
gonna just picture perfect this if you want a high
school sports team, and I'm gonna use football because that's
the great example, but I think this can universally be used.
(01:08:01):
Have multiple parents meetings throughout the season. Kay limit out
the expectations, but I understand that you have your own expectations. Okay.
I think if they were to start doing that more,
maybe one to two meetings a year, Football maybe three, Okay,
some sports maybe one to two. I think if some
(01:08:21):
athletic staff were to put that together to where instead
of having one on one meetings, you put everybody in
a group. Yes, you're more likely to get bombarded in
a group, but you're more likely to get your point across,
and you can always centralize it. If you want to
make those groups bigger or smaller, it's totally up to you.
But I think, and I only say this for high
(01:08:44):
school level college there should be no reason why I'm
talking to your mom and dad. I'm being completely honest.
But I think if that would start there in starting
a culture and understanding what the goals are and trying
to get the community on board, which is pretty hard
around here. That is what I've seen that would eliminate
(01:09:05):
a lot of coaches hitting a revolving door. Now the
one thing, the one special thing I am talking about,
which is kind of this was kind of fucked up
when I read this story. Did you guys read this
story about the River Valley baseball kid that's senior got
cut because of the new coach. Yep, it's like it's
the same thing. I see all this stuff on social
media and kids got a good reputation. I guess plays
(01:09:27):
on a couple really really good travel squads had to
try out for a couple and you know that coach
could be trying to make a statement. Guess what. Those
are the type of coaches that I'm not fighting for.
Those are the type of coaches that I say, yeah,
cool shit canem after a year, because why would you
cut a senior? Like Okay, I do have a special
(01:09:48):
circumstance and I can talk about this because it was
actually my cousin. My freshman year of Elgin High School baseball.
Elgin actually had to cut two people because we had
way too many people to put jerseys on. One of
them was my cousin and it was a senior year.
(01:10:08):
But he also understood that the talent prospect was a
lot greater that was coming in like we were coming up.
He probably understands that now. Back then probably not so much.
But it's ok. It is what it is, right, And
I forget the other kid they cut back then because
like I said, that was back in like twenty twelve.
So but to cut a senior that's actually I mean
(01:10:33):
I looked him up. He's got respectable stats.
Speaker 3 (01:10:36):
Oh yeah, he is solid, Like he can help.
Speaker 2 (01:10:40):
All right, I can't. Does anybody have any other of
the whole coaching like mantra of Jesus like and I
hate to say parent meetings because if you can't, if
you have to have a lot of parent meetings a
that means you're not doing something right. Right, But I
think if you established that out of the gate as hey,
we're gonna meet this time and this time if anybody
(01:11:04):
has any problems before, then this is the times that
hit me with them.
Speaker 3 (01:11:06):
Okay, No, it actually will be a good thing because
it's not going outside. And then of course putting it
on social media and everything because and also another thing,
like we also mentioned culture, and we talk about culture
and building the program and everything up, you're not gonna
expect anything. It doesn't take two years to flip everything.
(01:11:27):
It sometimes it takes longer the small like small schools,
it always takes a little bit of time to get there.
You're not gonna go from one and nine to nine
and one or eight and two or a perfect season.
You're not gonna go from that within one year. And
with one guy, it's gonna take time to rebuild. So
two years, well that is gonna be in the same
(01:11:49):
butt that you and I were in. We're gonna okay,
can I'm getting the next guy up. Well, we're gonna
have to relearn everything we learn the playbook, and then
we're gonna go back to square one. Just like mention,
it's just a snowball.
Speaker 2 (01:12:01):
And that's the problem is that's what parents don't understand.
When a new head coach comes in, the whole program changes.
Not just what you think is, oh, my son might
have a chance to play, it's everything those seniors have
learned from when maybe they were a sophomore, they were
a junior, maybe they were a freshman. They've learned this.
(01:12:22):
Now they have to completely relearn a new system, which,
in hindsight twenty twenty, it does help the aspects of
an athlete to be able to do that, but at
the same time, if the shoe fits and then somehow
it just disappears because and there are good ways for
it to disappear. I'm not saying it's all bad culture.
There could be good culture changes. A good culture changes
(01:12:43):
this a head coach with a good reputation works his
ass off, is there for multiple years, and boom gets
an opportunity to take a bigger job. That's what everybody
wants to see. Sanders said it the best coach Sanders.
If you're in coaching, if you're not growing, you're If
you're not growing, you're dying. If the program doesn't grow
(01:13:05):
with you, you're gonna die with the program. Okay, that's
pretty much label it out exactly how it is. So
that's my biggest feel is, I I've seen a lot
of a lot of different faces. I've seen a lot
of different styles of coaching I've seen I've sat in
the coach's meetings, I've sat in different you know, rooms
(01:13:27):
with different thoughts and ideas. But the thing with sports
is it's all centralized around one thing. Other than just
being able to do the sport and being able to
teach the sport, it's the culture of the sport. It's
it's the culture of the community that you can also
bring in. The problem is when you have one too
(01:13:48):
many outliers that are fighting those, you're never going to
build a successful program. And I can say that universally
for any fucking sport. I would love for anybody to
sit down and try to argue with me. I've seen
way too much of this shit and it just pisses
me off because there's a lot of there's a lot
of great athletes that have came through this county. There's
a lot of great athletes that I've seen go and
(01:14:09):
then they pissed down their fucking leg too. So I
mean it's it's because they weren't ready for it. But
I think one day somewhere one of these schools, and
I'm not even just talking our county. I'm talking like
I've been able to see other counties. The greatest example
I have is this, you said, like building a program
(01:14:30):
coaching at Elgin, Waynesfield, Goshen, Okay back in two thousand,
I think it was two thousand and seventeen or sixteen,
so we would have been you would have still been
in high school. We were out of high school. They
actually had a community meeting because they needed one more
(01:14:51):
boy to get on their football team.
Speaker 3 (01:14:52):
I think it was twenty seventeen, one more.
Speaker 2 (01:14:56):
And they fielded sixteen to get a team. They've been
conference champs in the NWCC out of the last ten years,
I think five or six times since then. Oh yeah,
so proofs in the pudding, guys, it's in the pudding.
Yeah so. But sometimes it takes that drastic fucking hit
(01:15:19):
the ground, dying in shock, you revived it. Sometimes it
takes that. So Okay, I'm off my so much.
Speaker 3 (01:15:26):
I forgot about Yeah, I was gonna.
Speaker 1 (01:15:28):
Say, but still smell goodness still years old? Oh my god?
Speaker 3 (01:15:35):
Oh no, all right as well, because.
Speaker 1 (01:15:39):
And pass it that way so he's at the bag.
Speaker 3 (01:15:41):
Yeah, And I honestly it's something though good because I'm
within that and I'll be honest. The guy was MYOC
when I played. He brought in the guy that I
played football with and I have high respects for because
he was one of the best for not chesa city,
but the county and within the state of Ohio. He
will making the numbers and he succeeded to play at
(01:16:02):
the next level, and then Andrew got him, and then
he's bringing in stuff. And now is it too many
like you said, too many chiefs, not enough Indians? I
think it can't. It could be like that. Of course,
my alma mater. I'm going to root for them and
wish them the best and I want to see great
things and I hope it does. But like you said,
(01:16:23):
with all the parents and everything, that's always going to
be a play regardless, and of course not just listen level,
but always the next levels and everything, because he always
hear this, and there's gonna be stuff that's always behind
closed doors that they're not going to fully reveal, which yeah,
they're not going to reveal it, but they always fill
the tea somewhere and it gets out.
Speaker 2 (01:16:41):
I have a lot of friends. That's that's all I
have to say.
Speaker 3 (01:16:45):
We got connections.
Speaker 1 (01:16:46):
I have a friends places.
Speaker 2 (01:16:49):
Oh yeah, it could be whether the whiskey drowns and
the beer chases.
Speaker 3 (01:16:54):
But hey, I'll be okay. But it also again, like
I mentioned earlier in like yes something, there's always gonna
be a different culture change. It's not gonna change, it's
gonna take We'll take years of process and stuff, especially
for Marion Hardy because they're saw division two school.
Speaker 2 (01:17:10):
I mean just not even harding. Like I said, universally,
River Valley had a berth lost that last year. Plus yeah,
had a birth lost that. Ridgedale actually is one of
the most improved teams in this county. Ye had a
birth lost it, you know, it's then lost it. And
(01:17:33):
aspects of Elgin, where I was at, had a chance
for a better seed, just couldn't pull through a couple
So it's like and even surrounding schools like you know,
you're look at another great example and another one close
to me. Look at Northmore. Yep. Northmore has a full
athletic complex. Now, when I played Northmore, they were still
(01:17:55):
running the full house tea yep, and we were beating
and I was off the field by the third quarter
when it was forty eight to seven. Okay, now, grant
I lost my senior year. They beat us my senior year,
my last game, and you know, kudo's that team. That
team came out and played hard. So but I will
say this, that team has grown since twenty fourteen, in
(01:18:21):
the past eleven years, and now that's what we're We're
starting to see those teams rise. Now. I would love
to see this county start to rise. I'd love this
county to be like Carrie. I would love this county
to get somewhere close to Hell. I don't even know.
I can't Macomb level status. Hell. Even Shelby and Ontario
battling it out, and then, you know, even doing pretty
(01:18:42):
decent in the playoffs for a second, they at least
make it to the first round and a decent seed.
Speaker 3 (01:18:47):
So yeah, Ontario did pretty good, made it to.
Speaker 2 (01:18:51):
What third round? I think so, And I think that
universally could work college. I could critique it a little bit.
The only thing I say is you don't deal with
You don't deal with parents.
Speaker 3 (01:19:05):
Yeah, you have the outside influence, but man, even like
you like on the high school level, like you said,
the parent meetings meet here and there. I absolutely do
it once watch football. I dude, agree, you have it
three times. Maybe if you want to try to spread
it out a little bit. Hey, we're done with we're
getting ready to start two days.
Speaker 2 (01:19:20):
You want to talk to me.
Speaker 3 (01:19:21):
Now you could talk to me at this time. We're
done with two days and practices and now we're getting
into end season and here's another day we need to meet.
Because it's always going to be like that, and then
people critique and bitch a little Johnny didn't get to
play special teams because of this. Well, I'm gonna sit
and bitch about it. I'm paying pay to play all
this YadA yad yad. The coaches and everyone's always going
to pick the guy that's playing the best. Coaches don't
(01:19:44):
win the games. It's the players getting cooked as the
players winning your games. And that's where I was warning it.
Speaker 2 (01:19:53):
But I know you're good. I thoroughly. I don't think
that's drove home hard enough at all level. That's the
reason why pros are still getting coached. A lot of
people don't understand those coaches are still coaching them. They're
coaching them on their way to do stuff. Do you
think the Cleveland Browns just likes showing up every week
(01:20:14):
and losing games? Probably not. Now, does it look like
that on TV for US Brown's fans. Absolutely it does
like they want to show up and lose every fucking
game we watch on whether it's Sunday or Monday.
Speaker 3 (01:20:26):
But it's all right, Carolina. That's why they didn't even
get a night game. So Sunday I one o'clock lost.
Speaker 2 (01:20:32):
But do you really think the high school coaches that
I can say make ten maybe ten thousand dollars. I
head a high school head at the levels I've seen
a head coach for high school of football at my
level that I saw maybe ten grand. Okay, do you
think I'm gonna risk ten grand to have an O
for season? Do you think a fucking NFL coach is
going to risk millions of dollars for an O for season?
(01:20:56):
Thank you? Where's it all start with? Culture? You can't
have that? Absolutely all right? I gotta I gotta get
some to drink.
Speaker 3 (01:21:05):
I see that you had a good spieling. You need
that water.
Speaker 1 (01:21:09):
Just take a quick break.
Speaker 2 (01:21:10):

The week. Oh dude, it's the biggest one of them all.
The rumors are out and the rumors are true. Yeah,
bush Light Apples back, baby, Yes, and bush Light Lime

I said this, if it was lime, would beat bud
Light Lime right off the fucking shelves. And I'm I'm
excited because peach not my favorite, just saying.

What you got my absolute unit? Which there it is,
I'll try and figure out. Yes, the Columbus Blue Jackets
shoot out when over the Islanders and fucking.
Speaker 2 (01:24:53):
Which there only two voices behind now.
Speaker 3 (01:24:55):
Yeah, but well walk cart is fucking eating up. Actually
Blue Jacks, I'll say blue Jackets in general twos and
because they found the rhythm did great in their Standium
series game found the rhythm. Competing for a wildcard spot
and their game against the Islander I suppose, yeah, a
couple of nights ago. Yeah, fucking Elvis laid all out
(01:25:17):
to save ils, trying to see if I can find
the highlight, because I think it was this game, like
literally in overtime they almost tried to make a goal
and Elvis just lights that went nope. Literally, But yeah,
blue Jackets competing for a wild card, they're getting that,
like unfortunately we're out. It's Ottawall in Montreal, but we're
(01:25:40):
at seventy three points or two points behind for the
second we're getting there.
Speaker 2 (01:25:44):
We'll get it.
Speaker 3 (01:25:47):
We'll get also honorable mission hockey playoffs and O the
six goals away from tyme win Gretzky getting the record.

Speaker 2 (01:28:04):
He just wanted to get the cup of chili.
Speaker 1 (01:28:07):
I'm ready for it. I'm ready for that free company.
Speaker 3 (01:28:09):
And they saw having after my big as you.
Speaker 1 (01:28:10):
Want to know what else. I'm also ready for sure?
Are you ready for DB's three?
Speaker 2 (01:28:32):
Well, that's too damn bad. That's too damn bad. I
didn't really come too prepared for this one.
Speaker 1 (01:28:39):
You've been preparing for years for this one.
Speaker 2 (01:28:42):
Preparing for years for this one. So my favorite after
school snack when I was in high school and then college,
which it all kind of stayed the.
Speaker 7 (01:28:52):
Same, Yes, always involved the same soft drink, the same soda,
the same pop wherever you come from, SEGUMSDA.
Speaker 2 (01:29:10):
And on that now segums. Sure, and that is the crisp, cold,
tickle your innerds mountain dew, it'll tickle your innards. Fun
fact before we get into this, mountain dew was actually
made to mix with the whiskey. It was chaser. Yes.
Speaker 1 (01:29:29):
Yes, so.
Speaker 2 (01:29:32):
We are doing a draft style of mountain dew, but
there are some rules. There's one big rule, and thankfully
I totally forgot we were doing this. I grabbed the
og green mountain dew yes with all the sugar, because
why not. I want to be a fat fuck right now,
So we cannot draft that. That leaves the real sugar
(01:29:53):
up for grabs. Diet and zero sugar in the original flavor.
Those are the only ones we can and draft. Okay,
you get five slots. Once it's taken, it's gone. Okay,
so this is this is gonna be a little nail
bier that we're cutting at least a big crucial one
out because I think all respectively, at least other than me,
(01:30:16):
I would put this at the top. Okay, Well, since
I forgot it was uh dip ship's birthday, we'll have
ex birthday. Boy, go first, I knew that was coming round.
Speaker 1 (01:30:37):
I have to make sure it's there. I would simply
pass away. If we're not there, simply pass away.
Speaker 2 (01:30:46):
There.
Speaker 1 (01:30:47):
I would simply pass away without it.
Speaker 2 (01:30:49):
Mountain Dew code red. Okay, well that just made my
list way harder. Oh, by the way, we can also
use discontinued ones that we would.
Speaker 3 (01:30:57):
Love discontinue if we did.
Speaker 2 (01:31:00):
All because I was just over at the fucking the
dot shop over here. Yeah, sorry, sorry, customer service. No, Actually,
they're really good guys over there. Yeah, they actually joke
with that ship. Actually one of them open carries fucking
scary shit.
Speaker 1 (01:31:13):
That's wild.
Speaker 2 (01:31:14):
Yeah. Uh, I was checking it out when I grabbed
this Mountain dew. They really don't have a big variety
over there, So God is it me? Yeah, because it's
going youngest to the oldest shit, I guess I gotta
take it because it's the only one. I gotta take.
The O G crack sugar.
Speaker 3 (01:31:31):
I figure you're going with that.
Speaker 2 (01:31:32):
I mean it has to be just because. And I
will say this for all the haters to say, well,
didn't teach any different than the one. I just think
you can't use a fuck.
Speaker 3 (01:31:41):
It tastes a lot, yeah, which is awesome. Why when
we talked about it, I'm like, just do the original,
but the actual og, the one that has like throwback. Yeah, literally,
like you get it in the fucking glass bottle.
Speaker 2 (01:31:53):
Yeah you can. They they sold it in the glass bottle.
They sold it with the old packaging on it and
it said Mountain Dew throwback with real Caine sugar. Yes,
that is my number one and it will forever stay
my number one. And I wish they would re release
it just one more time so I can have it
because I miss it. It used to be at every speedway.
Speaker 3 (01:32:11):
They'll come back. You just need to wait, so obviously,
uh real quick. Anyone that says caffeine free mountain Dew, Uh,
go ahead, hop on the mic and come talk to me,
because I'm gonna ask you what the fuck is wrong
with you? You're literally caffeine free Mountain Dew. That's like
ordering a salad and then getting a pop with it.
So anyways, so.
Speaker 2 (01:32:31):
My my mom my, mommy was really mad when I
had a lot of caffeine when I was a kid.
He grew up on the caffeine free mountain class.
Speaker 3 (01:32:41):

my good ones he had in his back pocket.
Speaker 2 (01:35:04):
Mountain Dew pitch black has to be.
Speaker 1 (01:35:08):
I have one that I don't know if you guys
have even had before.
Speaker 2 (01:35:12):
It's probably on this list.
Speaker 3 (01:35:13):
It's on the list.
Speaker 1 (01:35:14):
Are you on the wiki page? Yes, yes, it's on
that list, but I don't know if you guys have
ever had it. Chris might have, I don't know if
probably have.
Speaker 2 (01:35:22):
All Right, so I got three and four?
Speaker 3 (01:35:24):
Okay, okay, So I'm going back with this, and I
actually get it because one is served at Applebe's and
I get all the time, and the other is served
at beat Up, which I get. Dicks number three Mountain
Dew dark Berry Bash number four, Mountain Dew Legend suck
damn it.
Speaker 1 (01:35:43):
That was gonna be one of them.
Speaker 2 (01:35:44):
So kind I'm kind of asking against my own rule.
Does this count for all Mountain Dew products. We're just
going with sodas because we are running out.
Speaker 1 (01:35:55):
I think, well, how many were there fifteen?
Speaker 3 (01:35:58):
Probably? Well, don't forget that some discontinued.
Speaker 1 (01:36:01):
I think we could add like the game fuel, because
technically that is like a mountain dew.
Speaker 2 (01:36:06):
No kickstarts, Let's not do the kickstarts.
Speaker 1 (01:36:08):
I feel like they gets us.
Speaker 2 (01:36:09):
Too many options, so game fuel wise, I was gonna say.
Speaker 3 (01:36:16):
We want to die with the slashes. I say yes,
but if the flavor was taken as the fountain, no,
so like you took about.
Speaker 2 (01:36:24):
You know which one I gotta go with, right? Which
one they put the magic deep into? Yeah, I gotta
go with the charge Terry burst.
Speaker 1 (01:36:32):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (01:36:32):
Number four my last one that was gonna throw everyone
for a loop.
Speaker 1 (01:36:43):
So I got my last two yep, yep, I've got one.
I gotta figure out which one I want to do
for number four. But I feel like I have a
good idea. Oh I'm saved.
Speaker 2 (01:36:55):
I'm saved.
Speaker 1 (01:36:58):
Number four mount do s A and the last one.
I don't know if you guys have ever had this one,
And I'm sad that it was discontinued because I genuinely
feel bad for any human being that never got to
enjoy it. I need to remember the name of it, though,
because they just discontinued it this past year.
Speaker 2 (01:37:18):
Where are you? Where are you?
Speaker 1 (01:37:19):
Where are you?
Speaker 2 (01:37:21):
Come on? Oh damn, they even have the hard Mountain
dewes on here.

Yeah, there is Wait a minute, what was your what
was your favor that you said? What were your two
flavors that you said, No, you said, you're two that
were exclusives to restaurants.
Speaker 3 (01:37:41):
Dark Berry Bash, Okay, dark Berry Bash.
Speaker 1 (01:37:44):
And then okay, good, okay, because the one that I
love is actually a Sam's Club excuse exclusive and they
got rid of it last year. I loved Berry Monsoon.
That's the one I didn't know if you guys had had.
That is my number five. My list is complete and
I have everything that I ever needed. I could die
(01:38:04):
with that list of Mountain Dews and I'd be fine.
Everybody has access to the original Mountain Dews and I'm
google those five. I'm great.
Speaker 2 (01:38:12):
Oh shit, oh shit, I forgot about this one. Uh
my number five, and I have an honorable mention here
because and call me crazy on it. Shout out Mountain
Dew sangrita blast, oh yeah, out of Taco bell.

hug it with the.
Speaker 2 (01:39:27):

If I do sweet lightning, I had to buy the
o g real crack mountain dew.
Speaker 2 (01:39:36):

I can't really so anything.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
So I just went so I had the can version,
which is the one that's like a little bit more carbonated. Okay,
did you know that they have the powders, Yeah, I yeah,
I like the powders. The powders actually pretty good.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
I've tried because Sarah got the munches protein powder. Well,
it was pretty good. I like the pre mixed bunchies better.
I've had it. Yeah, I've had that, but I've had
a lot of products.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
I just don't like it because for my size, it
takes me two of those two films.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
So, and it takes a lot of the protein out
of there for it to actually fill me up too.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
I also take a lower caffeine consumption than you doing. Today.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
Actually, today wasn't bad. Today was only well now it's
gonna be about two fifty still.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
Well, that's that's still high for me. It is, dude,
I have a coffee to day, that's it.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
Well, you're doing a lot better than me.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
Yeah, And to be honest with you, sometimes on the weekends,
I won't do a coffee. I'll just do nothing.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
I've straight away from coffee. I use coffee now as
more of a treat really. Yeah, well it's because I'll
actually go out and spend fucking twelve dollars on a
ground bag of coffee like Black Rifle or Death Wish
or I don't know, whatever sounds good and strong.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
I just get to be honest, I get the ten,
I get the hundred bocks from Sam's Club and rocket.
That's what I do for a week.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
I will fight this tooth and nail.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
I hate pods, I absolutely.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
I mean I would rather they're convenient.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
That's why they are convenient. I understand why, but I
would rather have pot coffee.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
Well, once my living situation switches, I think that I
would like to get one of those self filled curing things. Yeah,
where you do your own ground and I get good coffee.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
Bean.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
Say you want a little folders in your cup.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
Folders, fucking I would probably go with what he was
talking like a black rifle or a death.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
You set up the slogan because y'all are talking about Coll'm.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
You no, I know you don't like coffee, fucking weirdo.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
You're not You're not a breakfast man. You just don't
like anything in the morning.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
So here here's my marguting getting there, getting on that
train because of instead.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
Of getting a cuig, yeah, get a ninja pot coffee maker.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
Oh, they make pot coffee.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
If they make a pot, they make like pop. They
have a pot coffee maker and they also have a
single serving which all you do is you pull the
basket out.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
Yea.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
They have filters you buy, you drop the smell filter in,
pour coffee and shove it in, put your cup under.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
I know Curig has one very much like it too,
where you can do a pot or you can do
an individual.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
I like ninja because ninja brews stronger. I swear to God,
I don't. I mean, everybody's probably listening to this like
it's bullshit. No, I swear to god it. If you
brew your coffee right and ninja, it'll be strong. I
like strong coffee though, and really, if you want cheap
strong coffee, you get Cafe Pustello. Oh yeah, that's fucking
(05:08):
espresso ground. Yeah, Oh my god, that's Shit's like lightning
in a can. That shit'll fucking you want to talk
about some Cuban fucking sugar cheese rice.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
Fuck literally be pissing greatness, ain't you.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
Oh no, you pissed coffee for fucking twelve hours, especially
if you drink a whole pot like I did one day,
so I may or may not. When I worked in
the garages, I made a whole pot of that for
a sixteen hour shift, and nobody else would touch it,
so I had to finish it. Jesus, I finished it.
I didn't sleep, I was I was wide awake when
(05:45):
Sarah got home. I've been up for thirty two hours
by that point. My eyes were like this, Oh dude.
When I crashed, I crashed hard. It took me about
two or three natty lights, but I was out. I
remember that day. That was. That was a long one.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
All right, let's do a quick one run through and
then let's do that pizza. What's on the mind.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
I won my comp? Yes, congrats, I won my comp.
It felt like I was hung over the entire time. Actually,
that's the first time I've had a mo Yeah, thank
you to the Okay, that's the first time I had
a MO sub because I had such bad heartburn because
I ate one of those before.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
Yeah, never do that again.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
So I love you, Okay Cafe. I'm never eating you
before comp ever again because it was bad.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
It was terrema probably smart move other than that.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Other than that, like I said, I was living fat
and happy right now. I feel bad for you over there.
But yeah, you know, but it's like it's nice. I
get to eat pretty much whatever I want right now.
But then when when it's my turn about May, I'll
have to start cutting down for my wedding at the
end of the month. So yeah, yeah, I don't even
(06:55):

like a champ. And uh we actually had a little
hockey therapy. Friday night we went to the Walleye game,
so too, already ten weeks old took him to his
first hockey game. He had the big gear miffs on.
He enjoyed it, slept through the second period, slept draw
all the noise, which is awesome. Uh recap of the game.
(08:34):
We had fun while I unfortunately lost. So fucked the
Wheelian Naylors because they are the affiliates to depends and
uh fuck the official because he can't call a fucking
goal when he literally watched it, and yeah, I had
some choice words for him. And I think Cindy Crosby
was happy aout the game. But they got their cheeks
clapped the next night. So oh well, I mean the
(08:55):
whileye are fighting for the Kelly Cup, they're in the playoffs,
so props to the Toledo Walleye for that. Then other
than that, just enjoying sports and enjoying that life. It's

(09:58):
I'm not hitting like twenty four area.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
I feel like twenty six on Putting Bay. That was
the And what's funny is this is the funniest fucking
thing about Sarah and I. I turned twenty six. That
was the last quote unquote vacation when it was just
me and her together. Really, it was a one night's
stay at putt in Bay and I got so hammered
I was throwing up for a couple.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
That's when you guys tried to hit every bar, isn't it? Yes?
Speaker 2 (10:25):
I remember, And we made the dumb mistake of going
to put In Bay and only well, not bringing beer
was the one big mistake we made. Only eating once.
Ooh yeah, we went to the pub, but still green
tea shots and harp and Guinness were flowing pain and

Speaker 3 (17:02):
Anyways, there's no crying in baseball. Oh, but there is

Classic.
Speaker 2 (17:22):

painful time for us.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
It's a community in New York anyway.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
Hey, but guess what what h speaking of New Year's Eve?
Speaker 3 (17:39):
Oh, there you go.

I gotta get mine too.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
It was a birthday, said that Las, Yeah, and you
know what we bust still need to do. And the
one person that said that they weren't going to do
it or wasn't too worried about it. Classic Classic.
Speaker 3 (17:57):
So yeah, but we could talk about the other thing
that's also on.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
Sure, we can talk about baseball.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
I don't have my I don't know my stupperready though.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
I want to go back to Lake County. That's what
I'm going to talk about.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
He was talking about that actually today when I was
on the phone with him.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
Yeah, for July weekend, they got a home series against Danton,
So I might sneak up their New Year's the day
after forward of.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
July if I'm not crazily hungover, which I don't think
I'm gonna go all out like I did last last year. Again,
last year was rough. Yeah, I'll probably be down for
that trip, all sir. That sounds like a deal. Damn
good deal.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
Classic.
Speaker 3 (18:37):
I don't drink as much because you know, I got
responsibilities or whatever Tommy Pickles calls it responsibilaryese.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
Yeah. Literally, I watched the ship ton of rug Rats.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
Sorry I'm posting on TikTok.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
Chucky was like me, except I was not a complete
ginger and I don't wear glasses.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
All right, gentlemen, bro that tea is fucking good. Dude,
It's fucking good. All right. So I need to work
on this as we go. But we can talk baseball,
a gentleman. Baseball. We wake up tomorrow and baseball begins.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
Opening Day, and you know what, that's funny. That's two
thursdays in a row. I've had something to celebrate. When
I drank a little bit too much beer for my
day off. Oh dude, last week. So last week I
went to U. I went to Dave's, Yes, and when
I walked into the garage, he had both his grills
(19:38):
going bourbon in his hand already. He goes, God, you're late.
I was like, dude, you just got off at five.
He's like, yeah, I live ten minutes away. I'm like,
all right, Yeah, I had to get picked up that night.
I brought an eighteen pack of Miller Lite. Gone. Now
(20:03):
I get to do the same thing again, Thanks Styx.
With Miller Lite tomorrow. I'm not drinking any teeth fuck that.
But baseball is upon us America's pastime. Absolutely, No, I
was still fighting tooth and nail. It's America's pastime. There
are more baseball movies than they are football movies.
Speaker 3 (20:26):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
I wasn't gonna fight you on that.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
That's why I'm not.
Speaker 3 (20:30):
But I will stand with you with America's past time.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
Because I mean, the bad thing is if we're gonna
talk logistics before we actually get into the nitty gritty,
and I'm trying to buy time for a big guy
over here, it's cheaper to go to A or double
A now like lower high A. Yeah, I mean, like
(20:57):
we're just talking Lake County captains would love to get
up there again, right, fucking given acteen bucks to get
in and then there's so many fucking seats you just
sit wherever you want. Akron maybe what twenty twenty five
thirty a mid twenty twenty I.
Speaker 3 (21:15):
Was looking at Clippers for outfield against Saint Paul because
they'll have their first home game against Sint Paul.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
Eight dollars fucking.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
Hang in the outfield probably playing tickets went twenty bucks.
Speaker 3 (21:27):
Then yeah, I think it's like twenty or twenty two.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
But still it's they're not plate tickets, but like behind yeah,
behind the it's probably behind like five or thirty.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
Yeah, that's where but where we set normally eight bucks?
Speaker 2 (21:40):
Oh yeah, off on the corner. Yeah, I mean it's
like all right.
Speaker 3 (21:45):
By the home the home dug at Wilepen is a
same thing.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
And while er did you not want to just take
them to a minor league game? Now it's cool to
go see the Guards, it's cool to go see the Reds.
It's cool to go see if you're up that way
Detroit Pitt, I mean Pitt's not far away.
Speaker 3 (22:03):
Those are really only major league teams are.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
Those are the four teams. But again you're paying a
fucking arm and a leg. Now what's cool with me
is with the state, I get a discount for Reds games.
I'm not even a Reds fan. I've never been a
great American.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
It's nice moll Park.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
I know someone still owes me a beer trip there,
but you know, allegedly one he lost. He acknowledged the
last time I saw him. He's like, well, I still
need to buy your beers at a great American. I
was like, I know you do.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
That is going to be an expensive time for him.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
No, no, it might have got cheaper. A couple of
years have gotten under my belt. So but no, baseball
is back warmer, Weather's already come back. This little can
go away.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
Cold not cool. Cold is back again though this week.
Can't to be the guy to tell you just hopefully
let's make.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
It is gonna be decent, but far anyway, the old
groundhogs are calling it true. So far spring is upon us.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
Yeah, I got Chuck had all right.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
Daylight is I can actually still see light coming through
the window over here.
Speaker 3 (23:14):
That's a positive.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
Sign.
Speaker 3 (23:16):
So baseball's back. We're going in.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
It's like the world is healing.
Speaker 3 (23:21):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
I can just smell grills, rolling tap beers, fresh cut grass,
sound of a back crack. Damn. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (23:34):
Absolutely, even have your radio on the porch just listening
to baseball.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
Me absolutely, absolutely sending a piss missile of a fucking
wiffleball into a backyard. We played wiffleball two weekends ago
over at them Laws. Fucking great time. Oh man, that's
what we need to fucking do we need to do
a wiffleball tournament.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
Dude, football tournament I was in in high school, wasn't
it was? We were going into our freshman year in
twenty eleven, we went there. They hosted one at Green Camp.
We were playing teams that have been playing with each
other for like multiple years since we made it to
the championship. And we lost. We lost on a bobbled
(24:18):
bobbled tag out at the plate. We lost. Yeah. That
was also when a bunch of grown ass men were
going to fight me because I was pitching and I
relayed it from my button from Bryston. I related it
from Bryston out in the center, and I fucking smoked
this dude in the back of the Head's like, I
threw it as hard as I could, trying to get
the ball and trying to get that little whiffle ball
(24:38):
to him as fast as I could. Fucking smoked him
in the back of the head. Come to find out.
By this point, like my dad, I think my buddy
Canton's dad was there. A couple dads were there. They
thought we were like like twenty year olds, like like
eighteen to twenty year olds. We were all like fifteen.
We were all in fourteen fifteen. So yeah, that's my
(25:02):
whiffleball debut. And then we went and tried to do
it again. They hosted it, I think sophomore going into
junior year, and we ended up losing in the in
the preliminaries. We didn't even make the Cup. So are
you ready yet?
Speaker 1 (25:18):
I'm somewhat getting through it. I got all my I
got all my important predictions. I can get the rest
as we go.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
Are you ready?
Speaker 3 (25:24):
I'm ready? One up?
Speaker 2 (25:24):
All right here here, you guys rock out. We got
the top of what you got your top of your
list on.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
I have the important ones. I need to just get
the champions and the worst teams.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
All right, cool, so we're good. Yeah, all right, so
predictions time, ladies and gentlemen, other things we can say.
Speaker 3 (25:42):
So why not?
Speaker 2 (25:43):
I don't think it's way too early now.
Speaker 3 (25:45):
Yeah, didn't night away? Well, I mean well not in
the night.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
I kind of kind of cheated and used some bias
with the ESPN one I was just looking at So
I like that last year? Yeah? Probably, And instead of
actually picking the ALCS matchups and the NLCS matchups, I
just picked the winners and then my overall World Series champ.
Speaker 3 (26:07):
A baby Steape.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
So let's just start with the al Sound good since
that's on the shop of the list. All right, sweet
Ale East, what you got?
Speaker 3 (26:18):
No, you're taking the I was gonna let Eacus normally
go full circle.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
Oh I got. I got Boston Red Sox. I every
article I've read, I can't disagree they are pretty loaded.
Every article I've read from before getting here, sitting out
in the parking lot and now remaking sure my picks
are correct. I gotta go with the Red Sox. I
think they're pretty stacked.
Speaker 3 (26:43):
I like that, don't get me wrong. I like that
because I wasn't the toss up back and forth and
I'm looking at other stuff too, But because they fucking
find their way and they're fucking money bags, and East
Side money bags is somehow going to win the East,
as in New York Yankees, because they's somehow paid to
take the fucking East. I hope Boston detrons them. I
really hope they do, but I hate doing it. I'm
(27:05):
sticking with it, Yankees.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
I the Yankees winning the East as well.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
I'm the weird one, all right, So onto the Adel Central.
Heard a lot of hearts on this one. I gotta
take Detroit on this one. I'm taking Detroit. Really, yep.
I'm gonna take the Detroit Tigers.
Speaker 3 (27:26):
I mean, Tigers did relow, they got players, they they
resigned something. They're looking good.
Speaker 1 (27:32):
They got Flarity back.
Speaker 3 (27:34):
Yeah, Jack's back, Derek's still there. Barker Meadows, I think
still got caught up, plus a lot of their guys
when they got sent down. They got to Toledo and
they're still rolling with Toledo and they get.
Speaker 2 (27:47):
Caught back up.
Speaker 3 (27:48):
Yes, but that's also because I've been to mont Hen's
game or two or seven last year. But baseball love
it anyway, make bowells, I don't think so, something about Cleveland.
Steven folks got it there. Yeah, we're gonna have me.
Tanner Beebes got his extension as he should. He's our
(28:09):
opening day starter as honestly, I think he should be,
because this guy is still fighting injury. Chane Bieber's not
coming back till midpoint. But again, we say it before,
We're gonna say it again. It's not a sprint, it's
a marathon.
Speaker 1 (28:25):
Absolutely, and.
Speaker 3 (28:29):
I think they still got the spark. I think Cleveland
could take the Central again. Respect I'm taking the Guardians.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
I don't think we get the Central. I agree with you, sir.
I think the Tigers have it. They got Flarty back,
and guys, you saw how amazing he was when he
played in the Central. He went over and played in
LA and he just wasn't. He was good, but he
wasn't what he was when he was in Detroit. Oh, absolutely,
So that's why they were able to sign him back.
(28:57):
I think he comes back to Detroit and he fucking
lights it up. We're talking Guardian Killer, Twins Killer, White
Sox Destroyer, who the hell's not gonna be White Socks.
Speaker 2 (29:07):
Disagree with Guardian's Killer. It's gonna be different when they
come to Cleveland.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
I think that we're gonna be when we have Flarity,
When Flarerty is on the mound, it will be a
one one nothing game or a two to one game.
Speaker 2 (29:18):
That's fine.
Speaker 1 (29:19):
There will be low scoring beat very good defense. I'm
telling you now, so high pitch counts. Well, love pitch counts.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
Low pitch yeah, Ao West. I actually this is where
I started throwing some curve balls out. I took the
Seattle Mariners on this one.
Speaker 1 (29:34):
Interesting.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
There was another one. It was close, but I didn't
like how close the voting was on this, and I
think Seattle has a better argument in the long run.
I think they have a better argument. Yes and no.
I love that.
Speaker 3 (29:49):
I really do, because honestly, I was sitting on that
hill and I'm like looking at all the teams within
the West Athletics, everything going on in that team as
they're going back to their farm league and calling their
big farm guys up and doing that, so they're kind
of rebuilding the La Angels. Mike Trout keeps fighting the
injuries and and they don't have Trout. They're calling up
(30:11):
their young guys, like literally, they just got one guy
that never pitched minor leagues and he made the MLB roster.
Kudos to him. But those two, the A's and the Angels,
we don't see them touching the West there. It's gonna
take a few years for them. Rangers. Texas is reload
and they have all their talent, but I don't think
they're gonna make it. So it's between Seattle and Houston.
Speaker 2 (30:35):
The top vote.
Speaker 3 (30:35):
Yeah, yeah, Houston did lose Alex Brigman because he did
go to Boston, which kudos proper movie loaded right again.
Put a pin in Boston for me real quick. But
something about who has Jose and all that, I don't know,
(30:55):
Like I went back and forth, but somehow, some way,
the a Ls always favors the Astros and somehow, some
way the Easton Astros are gonna win the West. I
hate saying it. I don't want to see it, but somehow,
some way they do. The Ashers and Yankees always won
their division and you're just like.
Speaker 2 (31:09):
Whyke.
Speaker 1 (31:15):
Twin the Al West? I have the Astros. They just
somehow every fucking year figure the fucking Yeah, I don't
get it. Again, I agree, they fucking they literally play
in the fucking clay and they like, oh, another real
West fucking win, you know, like they just keep getting
the al West and I will never understand it. It's
(31:35):
just they have the money.
Speaker 2 (31:37):
Sorry, trash cancer yeah.
Speaker 3 (31:39):
Literally yeah, okay, but the train whistle anyway, wild.
Speaker 2 (31:42):
Card spots, I'm just gonna rip mine off, and you
guys are gonna see something very hilarious about my list
if you've been paying attention.
Speaker 3 (31:49):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 2 (31:50):
First plot, I got the Guardians. I think they are
going to slide back into that one spot last year.
I think I took them winning it, winning the Central.
They were released that he take the wildcard. I took.
Speaker 3 (32:01):
I'm the only one that took them one the Central,
but you guys have them in the wildcar second one.
Speaker 2 (32:05):
I agree with your Astros argument, but I don't think
they find it the entire time. I took the Astros
or I put trash Cans as my second spot.
Speaker 3 (32:13):
Oh well, let me sink our Apple Watch real quick.
Speaker 2 (32:15):
Anyway, My third spot the Baltimore Orioles.
Speaker 1 (32:20):
So wait a minute, go through that three again.
Speaker 2 (32:22):
I'm so sorry Cleveland Guardians, Yes, Houston Astros, Baltimore Orioles.
What do I not have listed?
Speaker 1 (32:29):
You don't have the Yankees.
Speaker 2 (32:30):
I don't think they do it this year. I think
they come up very short.
Speaker 1 (32:34):
I would love that.
Speaker 3 (32:35):
I want it, but somehow, somebody I'd be ready for.
Speaker 2 (32:38):
Them to come up short. I have goosebumps because when
I was reading through everything, everybody else is predicting it.
They are gonna come up short because everybody else reloaded.
Speaker 3 (32:49):
Here's my thing.
Speaker 2 (32:51):
I do help that.
Speaker 3 (32:53):
But the Yankees somehow fine rhythm when they need to,
and when the injury bug hits them, they somehow just
weaseled their way through. But I would love the Yankees
to be eliminated, but I don't know. Again, this is
this is the sport where it's always a marathon, not
a sprint. So all right, time to rip off mine.
(33:15):
So starting with my first wildcard, of course, one, two, three,
it don't matter. It's my three wildcard teams. I have
the Boston Red Sox. I do think they'll try to
keep up. I had them going last year. They were
just a few games, like like, why they're predicting the
Yankees are gonna be this year. That's how Boston was
last year. Wildcard two or my second wildcard team, I
got the Seattle Mariners. I think they'll compete like this
(33:37):
team's loaded. This the team's got everyone looking Gilbert LUs
Castill and they got George Kirby right, and then in
there like their starting rotation is outstanding. And then if
they got Jay Rodd, who you over Roder? Haz he
was as solid as rookie year and he's just doing
fantastic things. JP finds rhythm right, He's got going cal Riley,
big dumper catcher, he got an extens he heads bombs.
(34:01):
You know it's gonna work out for him. Yeah, big
dump versus nickname. That's why I want player Weekend to
come back. I want his I want his MLB players
Jersey saying big dumper.
Speaker 2 (34:10):
On the back.
Speaker 3 (34:10):
I would spend money on that. But Seattle's got everything
looking going for him. ID my other wildcard team they
made it last year. I think it will be a competition.
I do want to say Detroit, But this team I
think will be sneaky, just like they were last year
and we're all like, how in the hell did they
make it? But if they find their bats at the
perfect timing, especially with the veteran behind the plate catching
(34:33):
the balls and getting everybody out, it might work. I
think Kansas City could sneak in and the Royals make
it to the playoffs.
Speaker 2 (34:41):
I think.
Speaker 3 (34:43):
That one's my stretch, but I won't know what it depends.
Speaker 1 (34:51):
I like where you're going, but I'm not on the
same boat you sneaky.
Speaker 2 (34:54):
Hey, we're in the same bet, we're the same way
it is.
Speaker 3 (34:59):
I'm in the same but here's the same thing. There's
three other teams. I think you could compete with it,
and I've been in different so that last one because
the Orioles, I think they could still compete, but they
could fall short. The Toronto Blue Jays they somehow were
picking up. They've been getting guys. If they stay healthy,
they may have a chance to fight for a walk cart.
And then the Tigers. Because I was back and forth
(35:19):
with Detroit in Kansas City. I really think the Tigers
could make it, but I think Kansas City has that
fighting chance too, So that last walldcar, I'm like, there
seams in the top.
Speaker 2 (35:29):
I think Minnesota has a fighting fighting chance in Kansas.
Speaker 3 (35:32):
City, Minnesota could, but Minnesota also has the injury again,
think about it. Minnesota had the injury bug hit them
last year right at the point where the injury budget hit,
which it cult, but Minnesota, which I see year Grin,
you got Minnesota, and I'm not going to count them
out either. I'm just sitting right there because I'm also
(35:52):
looking at the rotation because if it hits the rotation bat,
it's sitting the rotation bad. That's where I'm like at
Kansas City, say it's I think could sneak back in.
But again it's predictions. We're having fun with it.
Speaker 1 (36:06):
Three American League Wild Cards one, two, three. Number one
is the Red Sox. I'm telling you now, the Yankees
Red Sox series is back. Baby, be prepared. That is
going to be a good series. Base I'm telling you
now tis the season if you enjoy just general overall baseball,
that is going to be a series again. It's gonna
be It's kind of like how Ohio State Michigan kind
(36:28):
of took that wall when we were winning a lot.
It's coming back.
Speaker 3 (36:32):
Now it's going back in Michigan's favor, and.
Speaker 1 (36:34):
Now it's going to go back towards Boston's favor. Number two,
we're looking at the Guardians. I think they're gonna be
close with the Tigers, but I think the Tigers take
the edge in the AL Central and number three, my
little wild out of the out of the blue, little
piece team is the Twins. As you said, they took
(36:56):
a lot of hitting the injury bug last year, but
they still had that damn good team that they freaking had.
Absolutely just kept getting hit with the injury bug. I
want to know who else had to deal with the fucking.
Speaker 5 (37:05):
Injury bug and they came out of world champion the
fucking Rangers two years ago. Absolutely remember, injuries ruin a season,
and the Twins will be healthy and ready to go
this year.
Speaker 1 (37:17):
They will be a wild card team. Well they get
far in postseason, I do not believe.
Speaker 3 (37:21):
So right, which I did not disrespect. Like again, I
agree with you in Minnesota, but it at the right
time at the wrong time last year to wear it
they fell out. I felt like Minnesota could have that,
which is why Kansas City snucking facts nationally the other
way too.
Speaker 2 (37:37):
Always and a least should be I mean, we all
are pretty expressive with the AO, so I think probably
go a little bit faster.
Speaker 1 (37:45):
Yeah, really, I hardly.
Speaker 2 (37:46):
Pay attention to the NL.
Speaker 1 (37:48):
I've got a little eye.
Speaker 2 (37:49):
H and at least I got the Atlanta Breds.
Speaker 3 (37:52):
What do you think I got a T shirt on
that says twenty twenty one World Series Champions rolling the Cunya,
which shout out Dave and the call you're wrong on
that World Series. I had it right, You're wrong anyway.
It's beat on your trash can and she but I
hope you're doing well. Uh al East Onlana Braves.
Speaker 1 (38:07):
That's a three.
Speaker 3 (38:08):
Keep there anyway, leaders are hard.
Speaker 2 (38:12):
Three right Central. I got the Milwaukee Brewers on this one.
Speaker 1 (38:16):
Boo, they're old.
Speaker 2 (38:18):
It's okay. Old heads will usually pull and prevail. That
doesn't mean they're going to make it to a World Series.
Speaker 1 (38:23):
That's why Christine Howich is old.
Speaker 2 (38:25):
Get them.
Speaker 1 (38:25):
The Walker.
Speaker 3 (38:27):
Got a lot of talent, that's okay, I get it.
Speaker 1 (38:30):
We just don't want to say the team that's really
gonna win the East or the Central. You really don't
want to say it because it hurts you internally, mentally
and emotionally. You can cry in the shower tonight if
you had to say it. I know you would.
Speaker 3 (38:42):
Next. Oh, I know, I know what you're talking about.
Speaker 2 (38:46):
It Why you gotta put me on blasts like that?
Speaker 1 (38:48):
Have to?
Speaker 2 (38:48):
I know you don't like it on because I don't
want to say the Chicago Cubs.
Speaker 1 (38:54):
Holy what's in that?
Speaker 3 (38:57):
Hey? It just described our propery. That's the fuck? You mean?
A stroke? So uh yeah we know that. Nay, the
Saint Louis Cardinals. So anyway, wrong red team. Yeah, I
took a red team and it bit me in the ass.
But actually I think then now Central can end out
(39:17):
in the tie and then they'll have to play a
tie breaker game.
Speaker 1 (39:19):
That's your team that you think has a sixty third
game or one hundred and sixty third game?
Speaker 3 (39:24):
Two teams in this division in this division?
Speaker 1 (39:26):
Yeah, you think that's one hundred and sixty three?
Speaker 3 (39:28):
Could be? Who is it? Spell the t Well, I'll
spill the tea by there's more tea to spelled because
I'm also gonna get a fucking ghost of visit me
because if I don't take the team again predictions, who
fucking knows? Uh? So for the Central, I'm wroll with
the Cincinnati were at some winning again even though it
brought me in the ass. Different situation exactly.
Speaker 1 (39:52):
Yeah, who's the other team that they play? Or is
that giving away a wild card?
Speaker 3 (39:55):
Is giving away a walk? O?
Speaker 1 (39:56):
Okay, okay, I'm also jumping on this boat in bandwagon
Tito is an amazing manager. Hopefully he's gotten his health
into a better situation. It sucks he's not in Cleveland,
but we were left in a good opportunity, in a
good situation with what we have.
Speaker 2 (40:11):
With vote again, you guys are going to see a
common trend with the guy that seems like you've read
a little bit more baseball nomenclature than most reading.
Speaker 1 (40:19):
West.
Speaker 3 (40:20):
I can't West to make sure he took Cincinnati. Absolutely,
that's what I want to.
Speaker 1 (40:25):
Know, West.
Speaker 2 (40:26):
I had to take Los Angeles Dodgers. I had to
take the walk and take Dodgers. I had to fuck it.
Speaker 3 (40:34):
Rockies, No, I'm taking hold on. Let's say the name
the West Coast money team.
Speaker 1 (40:41):
They're on my list, but I don't think they're what
you have on your list, the Rockies. I think we
all have them in the same spot.
Speaker 3 (40:48):
Honestly, I feel like the Rockies may not even make
my lists, but different stories that made my list just
not in the right way. I'm left them off the list,
but for other reasons. But we'll see anyway. Yeah, so
three sweep Dodgers, fuck you anyways?
Speaker 2 (41:01):
All right, ship, move along? All right? For okay, my
first of three wild Cards. Call me crazy for this.
There were so many to choose from. I took the
Arizona Diamondbacks, crazy, New York Mets, Okay, San Diego Padres.
I don't think the Reds make it. They're out by
(41:23):
one game.
Speaker 3 (41:24):
I get that. That is wow.
Speaker 2 (41:28):
Again. I think this is a this is going to
be a very uncommon year for baseball.
Speaker 1 (41:36):
You think it's going to be an uncommon year. I
think you're wrong. There's a lot of thinking being done.
That's what's going on.
Speaker 2 (41:41):
What if the fuck out of everything? But you know,
that's why they call it predictions.
Speaker 1 (41:46):
They haven't thrown a baseball over a plate yet, so
it's all speculation.
Speaker 3 (41:52):
Mm hmm. So speaking of thirty tea time, any yeah, anyway, Uh,
did you guys hear about America Park The Tigers actually
just took out the dirt connecting pictures mountain home plate.
Now all baseball teams don't have it no more. Allegedly
that rumor happened. They said that yesterday when they were
re selling the field, they took the dirt out from interesting,
(42:14):
which is heartbreak it is. Anyway, said so my wild Cards,
I might make Dalton jump the table, but we'll see. Uh,
chicag Cubs make a wild card.
Speaker 2 (42:25):
Oh, it's just bringing up bad memories. It's okay, I'm
gonna jump the table.
Speaker 3 (42:30):
They did some signings. I don't know how, but I
think they sneaked.
Speaker 1 (42:34):
Baseball hasn't been back in Chicago since a rough rough
time in our life. I know, but I could barely drive.
Speaker 3 (42:44):
Somehow, some way, I'm like, like, shut up, hey, it
hurts me too, it hurts all of us. Somehow they
did the signs, some signings that they did. Then you know,
who fucking knows. It's a stretch, but it's predict I
hope I'm wrong on it. Anyway, Yes, someone's getting the
buzz anyway. Uh Philadelphia Phillies, I don't know that number.
(43:09):
They fight in the East. They got it and my
third wild card. I'm going out West. But you took
them last year. They signed a n Ace picture, they
got a few bats back and some guys that could
swing a back. I think the San Francisco Giants could
(43:31):
sneak in for a wald card, but the Mets and
the Potteris I think could also fight for it.
Speaker 1 (43:36):
This fucking guy, this fucking guy, the Giants.
Speaker 3 (43:40):
Yeah, I'm jumping on the San Francisco.
Speaker 1 (43:42):
This fucking guy, he wants it to be fucking you
really wanted to be twenty twelve again, don't you? You
really missed twenty twelve?
Speaker 3 (43:50):
No, I just missed.
Speaker 2 (43:50):
I suppose he buddy, you really are looking at they're
not even on it.
Speaker 3 (43:56):
Well that's one guy on ESPN. You're there's other MLBA.
Speaker 2 (44:00):
This was the most this was the most red like,
this is the highest voter pick and they're not even
on the fucking list. Hey, you know what, that's why
they call it predictions. That's all I say.
Speaker 1 (44:12):
I love it.
Speaker 3 (44:13):
I'm want them wrong.
Speaker 2 (44:14):
I want them wrong, all right.
Speaker 1 (44:17):
But if he's right, he's fucking crazy and.
Speaker 3 (44:20):
Calling Mark and I'm not answering anyway.
Speaker 1 (44:23):
Three wild Cards, number one, Padres, number two, the Mets,
all right. Number three is the Diamondbacks. I'm leaving the
Brewers off. No, you had the Brewers winning the Central.
Speaker 2 (44:34):
Yeah, I think they will.
Speaker 1 (44:35):
The old they will not.
Speaker 2 (44:36):
The old Heads will prevail.
Speaker 1 (44:37):
No Christian, which is the only person on that team.
Speaker 2 (44:41):
You don't know that I do.
Speaker 3 (44:44):
I've read the rosters. I looked at the rosters.
Speaker 1 (44:48):
It is not the Brewers time anymore. I know you
love beer. It is not the year of beer.
Speaker 3 (44:56):
Hey, their ballpark name ain't Miller Park no more. They
changed it.
Speaker 1 (45:00):
That's bullshit, facts, sols.
Speaker 2 (45:05):
So, I just picked the winner I have.
Speaker 1 (45:09):
I have the matchup.
Speaker 2 (45:10):
I have the winner. If I were to predict, yes,
the matchup in the ALS A l C s be
Boston Red Sox. I want to go with them, do it.
I don't think I can do it just because I
didn't put an I'll put let's say the Guards cards.
Speaker 1 (45:31):
Okay, Boston Red Sox win though, Okay, Chris.
Speaker 3 (45:36):
That's two thousand and seven, all of.
Speaker 2 (45:37):
You, that's what I think is gonna happen. Everything is
going back in time.
Speaker 3 (45:45):
I'm going I'll go back in time too. But does
motherfucker gave me two thousand and four vibes? I'll go
Yankees Red Sox for the al Yes, Red Sox win it.
Speaker 2 (45:54):
Dude, that'd be like the most watched game of based
on two thousand and four facts.
Speaker 3 (46:00):
That's why said we'll go back to let me after
years back. That sucks. Yankees punches to.
Speaker 1 (46:06):
Be thrown during that series.
Speaker 2 (46:07):
I feel like America's healing the manager.
Speaker 1 (46:10):
I swear to God, if a bald eagle does not
land on the field during the national anthem of the
first game of that series. If it happens, I would
cry if it happened. First thing, it would be beautiful.
America had healed.
Speaker 2 (46:25):
America is healing facts.
Speaker 3 (46:27):
But what James facts? Will James Paxon be on the
somewhere on the field where the eagle can land on
him and he gets startled? Maybe he did in what
twenty eighteen? Yeah, big Maple shows a saint in Seattle.
Speaker 1 (46:37):
Anyway, the Red Sox will beat the Tigers in the
AOCSPEC beat the Tigers.
Speaker 2 (46:43):
Yes, the Tigers are going to make it that far.
Speaker 1 (46:45):
I think the Tigers losing the Alds. Hey, I think
the Tigers can do twelve right there. I think the
Tigers can do it.
Speaker 2 (46:53):
Okay, all right, and I'll see us. Yes, I have
the Atlanta Braves in the Los Angeles Dodgers. I have
Atlanta Braves beating them. Wow, bold, I have a I
have a game seven. They are going Game seven.
Speaker 1 (47:06):
Fuck okay in l A. In l A because LA
is gonna have the most wins again in LA They'll
go unless they get injureds But which you got?
Speaker 3 (47:16):
I second that I got Braves Doctars Braves winning and.
Speaker 2 (47:20):
I even hyphenated game seven. Uh.
Speaker 1 (47:22):
I like the matchup. I think the Dodgers win it.
Speaker 2 (47:26):
All right. Well, so my world series is Boston Boston.
Speaker 1 (47:32):
I got Boston Atlanta.
Speaker 2 (47:33):
Yeah, I got Boston. I think I think Boston reloaded
hard enough. They can go for a runch as long
as they play the right games the right way they
could go. They could go a long way and it's
a marathon. But I got against them.
Speaker 3 (47:46):
Yeah, so my world series will be Boston and Atlanta. Obviously,
since we got the same I'm going opposite. I think
Atlanta can do it again.
Speaker 2 (47:57):
You're gonna go what game six or Game seven?
Speaker 3 (47:59):
I think no, one hundred percent. I think it will
still be a seven game series.
Speaker 2 (48:02):
Because I was Boston in five.
Speaker 3 (48:05):
I think if Atlanta takes it, Atlanta will take in
So now, can it be a three to one death sit?
Speaker 2 (48:11):
I highly doubt it.
Speaker 3 (48:12):
Because I think it could be two to two like that,
and then Atlanta takes it at home, and then they
sneak one in Boston, which wuld be Game seven. But
Atlanta did light up some of their starters and get
some back. So plus when the Dodgers last one in
the World Series. Uh, Atlanta won it. So superstition, let's
roll with it. Jimmy Braves and seven World Series champs.
Speaker 2 (48:34):
I've been wearing the same jockstrap since twenty fourteen. It's
twenty twenty five. Hey, whatever, flesh your boat, hey man,
I lived a superstition life. It was it was fun,
all right, Champ.
Speaker 1 (48:48):
Thanks for Dodger's Red Sox. Dodgers repeat, motherfucker No.
Speaker 3 (48:55):
Twenty eighteen World Series.
Speaker 2 (48:56):
I don't want that.
Speaker 1 (48:57):
Yeah, all right, Well, so.
Speaker 3 (49:00):
The Dodgers clean sweet for how many are you thinking?
Speaker 1 (49:04):
Five games?
Speaker 3 (49:05):
Gentlemen?
Speaker 1 (49:06):
Gentlemen? Sweep five? Dude?
Speaker 3 (49:09):
You got five too.
Speaker 1 (49:11):
You can't hey that much damn money and not get
a World championship against them.
Speaker 2 (49:17):
Can't load that big of a fucking nobody has the.
Speaker 1 (49:21):
Money the Dodgers do.
Speaker 3 (49:22):
Right now, you're saying their name wrong. West Coast money bags.
Speaker 1 (49:26):
I forgot the West Coast.
Speaker 3 (49:28):
That's probably gonna be the East Coast money versus.
Speaker 1 (49:31):
Talk about the most important part of the most important part.
Who's the worst team in the A?
Speaker 2 (49:37):
I have mine.
Speaker 1 (49:38):
I'm ready.
Speaker 2 (49:38):
It's a Chicago White Sox.
Speaker 3 (49:41):
Shit.
Speaker 1 (49:42):
I didn't even think about the White Sox. I put
a different team on that.
Speaker 2 (49:45):
There is a big bet right now on whether Chicago
wins over fifty three games.
Speaker 1 (49:53):
I think they go for the wreck.
Speaker 2 (49:55):
Money line is for them plus four hundred right now.
If they win over fifty three games, Jesus, that's a
huge I'd be slamming that button left and right, but
I'd be going the other way because I don't think
they're gonna make it to fifty three. I think they
hit fifty two.
Speaker 1 (50:15):
All right, what do you got, al it's on your list?
Speaker 3 (50:19):
I mean, I doubt you better, Filly. Of course I
feeled it so as bad as I hate to say,
I want to say it, but I think that Charlotte
Knights could bete there be Atilia Chicago Ices. Yeah, I agreed, no,
(50:42):
but they they're trying to make moves. Did they make
a couple of good moves? Not too shabby, but they
needed to make more and they weren't making more. Yes,
the Traveling Circus will sweep them this season and whatever
man is as games they got anyways, Yeah, the White Sox.
Speaker 2 (51:02):
Chicago Black Sox on that one we're bringing back.
Speaker 1 (51:06):
So I had the a's but after you guys, brought
up the White Sox situation.
Speaker 2 (51:10):
I forgot, dude. No, the A's are already better. They're
gonna win sixty fucking games.
Speaker 1 (51:15):
They're actually gonna maybe win games. Yeah, hey, sixty two.
All right, let's talk about the real conversation. Who's your
n OL team?
Speaker 2 (51:21):
Colorado Rockies?
Speaker 1 (51:23):
Yeah? Who you got?
Speaker 2 (51:24):
Colorado Rocky Yeah?
Speaker 3 (51:28):
Uh at the Rockies them have finished better than somebody.
Speaker 1 (51:32):
It'll be the White Sox. Well, the White Sox, but
they could.
Speaker 3 (51:36):
Be better than the Marlins, cuz the Marlins are not
gonna look good either.
Speaker 2 (51:40):
It was little Marlins might be last. It was between
Colorado or Miami, and I had to pick Colorado.
Speaker 3 (51:47):
Uh, I'm leaning towards my You know what, Fuck it,
those two tie, they'll find a way to win.
Speaker 2 (51:53):
It would probably three.
Speaker 1 (51:55):
I think they have to play a final in a
one hundred and sixty third game to find out who's
the worst.
Speaker 3 (52:00):
They have to call up Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp.
Speaker 1 (52:05):
Classic. I'm going with the Rockies up.
Speaker 3 (52:08):
I think the Rockies might finish better than the Marlings.
Speaker 2 (52:10):
But yeah, Ti da ladies and gentlemen, we will revisit that,
hopefully most likely June July. Yeah, round that.
Speaker 3 (52:23):
Back and Chris could be like, wow, I was a dumbass,
which I'm already doing that.
Speaker 1 (52:28):
Oh yeah, I do that every day now after this
past weekend because March Fennos.
Speaker 2 (52:33):
All right, yeah, my brackets busted. Okay, I'm good, Yep,
we're good racket. There were a lot of good games, though.
I'm actually I'm gonna pull up my breath.
Speaker 3 (52:42):
You calling Florida doesn't know? You didn't one?
Speaker 2 (52:45):
Yes, I have a bracket in the fifty percentiles, so
I ain't doing too bad now. And I picked Texas
Tech to win it.
Speaker 1 (52:52):
Dang stupid.
Speaker 3 (52:54):
It makes you feel better.
Speaker 2 (52:55):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (52:56):
I filled out a couple of rackets, and because I
watched the team from the Big East, I had full faiths.
Speaker 2 (53:03):
The first game that killed me was Louisville Creighton I Tooksville.
Speaker 3 (53:10):
I was a toss up bracket. I took the next.
Speaker 2 (53:13):
Scared everybody against you. You see San Diego from what
and this is for me just watching.
Speaker 1 (53:21):
These I'm pissed. Do you see San Diego didn't win.
Speaker 2 (53:24):
I picked Marquette. I picked Marquette to beat New Mexico.
Oh no, I'm sorry. I picked New Mexico to no sorry,
fuck I can't read. I picked you. I picked Oklahoma
to beat Yukon. That was my nine to eight seed
that I thought was gonna be what the fuck Kansas,
(53:50):
Kansas beat Kansas, the better Kansas. I picked Kansas. Sad
pick Saint John's because Omaha. First off, Omaha, I've never
heard of Omaha until now, so sorry. I picked Baylor
over Mississippi State. That was seventy five to seventy two.
(54:13):
You were dumb if you picked Liberty because Oregon beat
him badly, just as well as I picked uh VCU
to beat b YU. That was my other episode. It
was eleven six. Keep scrolling, keep scrolling. Uh the Clemson,
I picked Clemson. I picked Clemson. Congratulations McNeese. That's uh,
(54:38):
that's a great one I took.
Speaker 1 (54:40):
I took him to the.
Speaker 2 (54:42):
I thought I thought a high point could be an
upset against Purdue. No, No, I was wrong, and then yeah,
I got the rest right. Other than oh, this is
the worst pick of all that I have on here.
I picked Utah State to b U c l A
and they lost by like over thirty points.
Speaker 1 (54:58):
So I picked Georgia and beat Gonzaga.
Speaker 2 (55:02):
But sadly, Purdue came and beat McNeice. You know, congratulations
to them make almost making the sweet sixteen. There are
no lower to your teams in the sweet sixteen, no,
so I think this is kind of.
Speaker 3 (55:15):
First time in a while, this first time Arkansas's attendency.
Speaker 2 (55:20):
Okay, I'm talking lower than a yeah, like right on
a ten seed. I mean, come on, you're you're pretty.
Speaker 3 (55:26):
Close power for conference schools.
Speaker 1 (55:28):
So any notable ones that you had, I went on
the limp.
Speaker 3 (55:35):
Because again I fill out a couple of brackets. Yeah,
I watched Saint John's a lot this year. I think
that's why I looked great. Great with Tina was great.
Of course you had a good coaching matchup with John
cal Perry. And uh, I thought about one bracket, so
I have a team from the Big East couldn't win
it him though I doubt it. But for shits and giggles,
I take Saint John's. They might have a legit shop
that bracket busting. But uh, the actual team I took
(55:57):
for National champion is still alive, which I'm like, let's
with it.
Speaker 2 (56:01):
Texas Tech as Arkansas. I don't know why I picked
Texas Tech. I just that's when I was doing this bracket.
It fell into those. So yeah, it seems like a
lot of people took Florida.
Speaker 1 (56:12):
So So to give you two notable games that I
really fucked up on. Other than that Georgia game, I
took Akron to upset Arizona. Oh and my other one
that I really messed up on and I took way
too far in the bracket. I took Iowa State into
(56:33):
the final four.
Speaker 2 (56:35):
Brother, Yeah, so didn't I? No, I didn't. I had
him losing an Elite eight.
Speaker 1 (56:42):
I had Iowa State upsetting Michigan State.
Speaker 2 (56:47):
Oh yeah, that's see, that seems predictable.
Speaker 1 (56:50):
No, I had him upsetting New Mexico State. That whole
bracket area was just fun. That was what the area did.
Speaker 2 (56:56):
They There was an interesting pitch of lower seed teams.
Speaker 1 (57:02):
It was very fun, colorful, very interesting.
Speaker 2 (57:06):
Okay, that's really all I got on that.
Speaker 1 (57:09):
Okay, let's talk a little NFL free agency and then
and some coaching convo and bring it together.
Speaker 2 (57:17):
I mean free agency. We just saw the Giants sign
Russell Wilson.
Speaker 3 (57:22):
Yeah, and stuff on things on New England.
Speaker 2 (57:25):
There's a lot of other stuff. There's a lost archive
somewhere that where we talked a little bit more about it,
but I can't really think of any other big signings
other than.
Speaker 1 (57:33):
That right now.
Speaker 3 (57:34):
And Rodgers, I guess, got denied by the Viking, so
he will not follow the Brett Farve legacy the trail.
Speaker 1 (57:43):
Do it for the storyline?
Speaker 2 (57:44):
Yeah boo that man.
Speaker 3 (57:46):
The state of Mississippi is probably happy anyways, probably mostly so.
Steelers were kind of looking at that. But but free
agency talk, some draft news. The Steelers were also working
out Will Howard. But yeah, well, don't forget. Jameis Winston
also signed with the Giants. Giants definitely want to eat dubs.
Speaker 2 (58:11):
Jamis Winston. He don't get no more Sweinson's so eh,
double fuck off?
Speaker 3 (58:18):
Hey more Sweatsons for us?
Speaker 1 (58:21):
So yeah, stop seen dubs. He'll be eating dubs.
Speaker 2 (58:26):
He's gonna be eating fucking Buffalo wings. It's the only
thing he's gonna be fucking know, that's Buffalo Italian He's
gonna be. He's gonna be fucking Italian subs and ship.
It's always gonna be fucking fucking Guido.
Speaker 1 (58:42):
You got anything else big on the mind that you need?
Do you want to talk coaching stuff?
Speaker 2 (58:47):
Browns? Oh yeah, yeah, that's a big one. The Browns
are still fucking up somehow, some way.
Speaker 1 (58:53):
They're just fucking spending money we don't have right the
players that we shouldn't take.
Speaker 2 (58:58):
Yeah, I'm just waiting for h when's this Nick Chubb
contract coming up? Needs to so we're spending money in
all the wrong places though, yep, so on two three.
Other than that, I mean, ready for the draft.
Speaker 1 (59:14):
Yes, stop ruining life. The Cleveland Browns already do well
with that. You don't have to help them.
Speaker 2 (59:20):
Shut your face, chut your face, just shut up, man.
Speaker 3 (59:26):
Giants will take them before y'all.
Speaker 2 (59:27):
So it's okay AnyWho coaching. Yes, there's uh, there's been
a hot topic for a minute that we haven't really
talked about. We're going to isolate it kind of as
like a as a how can I say this just
a topic alone, just for to do an entire podcast with. Yes.
(59:51):
I don't really remember how the conversation sparked up because
it's been so long, but oh it was local.
Speaker 3 (59:57):
Yeah, we were talking about one in the local high school.
Speaker 2 (59:59):
So, oh, we have a local high school here, which
I'm gonna be honest, I give kudos to them because
they've built their staff since we've last talked about this.
Here's the problem that I have with this. They're putting
it out there on pen and paper like they have
all of this experience coming in. Now. This is a
(01:00:21):
high school that's pretty well known in this county. It's
got his name in it, for God's sake. No, it's
not Maryon Local, Marion Harding, Okay local anyway, yeah, Miller,
Marion Local. Actually Marion Local should go actually try to
play like a D three team and see if they
can actually survive. I don't think they would. D three.
I think they could. I don't think they could.
Speaker 1 (01:00:44):
I think I'll play Harding and D three they'll be fine.
Speaker 2 (01:00:51):
So I have a problem with coaches going in and
out of inside the same county, especially inside the same conference,
because of complaints from parents. Is what I've heard is
why this coach is now where he's at, which good
for him. I think this is a good spot for
(01:01:12):
him to land. But this is just a teaching point
to where you cannot build culture, which this man was
building a winning culture at he was starting at his
former high school, which was pleasant. But he was eleven
to eleven, which it makes it tough to sell. You're
(01:01:34):
five hundred but you only have him for two years. Okay,
if I don't, If I recall this, it takes you
four years to get through high school.
Speaker 3 (01:01:43):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (01:01:43):
So why are coaches left and right getting kicked And
then they're like, I'll just go back to ma alma
mater and they'll build it. They'll stack, they'll stack coaches,
but we'll get to that. Why. I think that's not
good either. I don't understand. No culture will change unless
you keep the same person there. Trust me, three different
(01:02:09):
coaches through my high school career. The only time I
had stability was college.
Speaker 3 (01:02:16):
So I mean, I mean I wented technically varsity wise,
three different coaches. Yeah, my high school.
Speaker 2 (01:02:23):
Year two and it was ship probably uhuh Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:02:28):
So we brought we brought one guy who coached Springfield,
got them or all real good, got them pretty much
competing for a state title or runner up or vice versa.
Bring him in sophomore and junior year. We finished three
and seven and then they let him go.
Speaker 2 (01:02:47):
Yeah. It's literally to the point where I think, Okay,
a there could be something that we don't know, and
it could be so this all could be.
Speaker 3 (01:02:55):
A boy and we don't know because it's some of
it's hush hush.
Speaker 2 (01:03:00):
It's hush hush, it's not public knowledge, which if it
doesn't have to be, that's fine. But what I'm saying
is this, a good coach just doesn't go. Yeah, I
gotta go like I'm going somewhere else now, especially when
towards the end, Pleasant was starting to work their way up,
especially in the MLAC slowly, but I mean they were
getting there. Now they have to completely flip everything, yep,
(01:03:25):
and that's I mean, that's fine with them. I hate
Pleasant no matter what. But so here's what I get
with this. I've been with a lot of different coaching staffs. Okay,
when you don't have long tenures, you tend to have
less your ten You tend to have less confidence in players,
less confidence in parents of having players play, which then
(01:03:48):
ends up losing people wanting to come out and play. Okay,
experience that hand like hand in hand when I was
at Elgin for two years because I was seeing what
they built from where they came. When elgind can only
field you know, nineteen guys, last year we had forty eight. Okay,
(01:04:09):
there's literally a five year difference between the two teams.
I just said, so and the year before we had
fifty one guys. We're a D six school of fifty
one guys, we should be legitimately D five, but we weren't.
So and we last year, I'll say this, we had
a pretty stacked coaching staff. We had a lot of experience.
(01:04:29):
So and here's where I find an argument with this.
So I've been watching Marion Harding ever since they hired
their new head coach, and I've been seeing every single
coach they're hiring, and I look at him, I'm like,
there's way too many chiefs and not enough Indians. I've
(01:04:51):
been a part of staffs like that too. And the
worst part about having way too many chiefs and not
enough Indians culture shock, nobody going, something's gonna go the
wrong way. Somebody's gonna tell somebody to do something else, different,
temper slares you lose a game.
Speaker 1 (01:05:08):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (01:05:08):
Okay, been a part of that too. It's not fun,
but I I mean I A coworker of mine says
it best when I was talking about this a couple
of days ago, said, man, these guys are really selling
it all out to try to get as many good
guys as they can in coaches don't win games. Yep,
the players do, so they have the backing for it.
(01:05:31):
But we'll see. So I just I don't understand why
parents get pissed off when little Johnny or little little
whoever doesn't go out and play, and they'll bitch, fight
and moan because of certain things. Now I know there's
other stories I can talk about, which I'll get to
here in a second, especially a baseball one that's related
(01:05:53):
in this county. You don't breed success without dealing with failures. Okay,
So that means you have to deal with the failures
that come to breed success. But the problem is the
one man driving that ship. If you get rid of it,
who's going to take over? It makes sense. So that's
(01:06:15):
something that I've learned over out of shit since I
started coaching when I was twenty one. I and even
just watching coaches and talking with coaches, you know, for
long forever. I literally feels like since I was like fourteen,
I can remember almost every conversation with the coach I've had,
(01:06:35):
and it's like I understand now being in their position,
like the frustrations they had to deal with at both
levels high school and college, and you know, the fact
of you are fighting for a job. You know, I'll
be honest. I was sitting at one point, I was
sitting at a high school with that of the previous
high school I was at with our head coach, and
(01:06:58):
we were both talking whether or not we're both gonna
have a like because I told him, he goes, I'm gone,
like I'm not coming back, because that's the only reason
why I was sitting in that building was because of him.
So and he's still there. I And like I said,
I hope they do really well. I hope they do
really well this season. I have high hopes for him.
(01:07:19):
But it's you can't you can't breed success without breeding
your without dealing with your failures. And I don't think
a lot of parents understand that. Is that they just
see this kid's play not playing, this kid's not playing,
this kid's not playing, and then they bitch and then
next thing, you know, tempers flair, stuff's not going the
right way, which then causes conflicts inside the locker room,
(01:07:40):
which then it all. It's a snowball. Okay, it's like
a big snat. The problem is, and I mean, I'm
gonna just picture perfect this if you want a high
school sports team, and I'm gonna use football because that's
the great example, but I think this can universally be used.
(01:08:01):
Have multiple parents meetings throughout the season. Kay limit out
the expectations, but I understand that you have your own expectations. Okay.
I think if they were to start doing that more,
maybe one to two meetings a year, Football maybe three, Okay,
some sports maybe one to two. I think if some
(01:08:21):
athletic staff were to put that together to where instead
of having one on one meetings, you put everybody in
a group. Yes, you're more likely to get bombarded in
a group, but you're more likely to get your point across,
and you can always centralize it. If you want to
make those groups bigger or smaller, it's totally up to you.
But I think, and I only say this for high
(01:08:44):
school level college there should be no reason why I'm
talking to your mom and dad. I'm being completely honest.
But I think if that would start there in starting
a culture and understanding what the goals are and trying
to get the community on board, which is pretty hard
around here. That is what I've seen that would eliminate
(01:09:05):
a lot of coaches hitting a revolving door. Now the
one thing, the one special thing I am talking about,
which is kind of this was kind of fucked up
when I read this story. Did you guys read this
story about the River Valley baseball kid that's senior got
cut because of the new coach. Yep, it's like it's
the same thing. I see all this stuff on social
media and kids got a good reputation. I guess plays
(01:09:27):
on a couple really really good travel squads had to
try out for a couple and you know that coach
could be trying to make a statement. Guess what. Those
are the type of coaches that I'm not fighting for.
Those are the type of coaches that I say, yeah,
cool shit canem after a year, because why would you
cut a senior? Like Okay, I do have a special
(01:09:48):
circumstance and I can talk about this because it was
actually my cousin. My freshman year of Elgin High School baseball.
Elgin actually had to cut two people because we had
way too many people to put jerseys on. One of
them was my cousin and it was a senior year.
(01:10:08):
But he also understood that the talent prospect was a
lot greater that was coming in like we were coming up.
He probably understands that now. Back then probably not so much.
But it's ok. It is what it is, right, And
I forget the other kid they cut back then because
like I said, that was back in like twenty twelve.
So but to cut a senior that's actually I mean
(01:10:33):
I looked him up. He's got respectable stats.
Speaker 3 (01:10:36):
Oh yeah, he is solid, Like he can help.
Speaker 2 (01:10:40):
All right, I can't. Does anybody have any other of
the whole coaching like mantra of Jesus like and I
hate to say parent meetings because if you can't, if
you have to have a lot of parent meetings a
that means you're not doing something right. Right, But I
think if you established that out of the gate as hey,
we're gonna meet this time and this time if anybody
(01:11:04):
has any problems before, then this is the times that
hit me with them.
Speaker 3 (01:11:06):
Okay, No, it actually will be a good thing because
it's not going outside. And then of course putting it
on social media and everything because and also another thing,
like we also mentioned culture, and we talk about culture
and building the program and everything up, you're not gonna
expect anything. It doesn't take two years to flip everything.
(01:11:27):
It sometimes it takes longer the small like small schools,
it always takes a little bit of time to get there.
You're not gonna go from one and nine to nine
and one or eight and two or a perfect season.
You're not gonna go from that within one year. And
with one guy, it's gonna take time to rebuild. So
two years, well that is gonna be in the same
(01:11:49):
butt that you and I were in. We're gonna okay,
can I'm getting the next guy up. Well, we're gonna
have to relearn everything we learn the playbook, and then
we're gonna go back to square one. Just like mention,
it's just a snowball.
Speaker 2 (01:12:01):
And that's the problem is that's what parents don't understand.
When a new head coach comes in, the whole program changes.
Not just what you think is, oh, my son might
have a chance to play, it's everything those seniors have
learned from when maybe they were a sophomore, they were
a junior, maybe they were a freshman. They've learned this.
(01:12:22):
Now they have to completely relearn a new system, which,
in hindsight twenty twenty, it does help the aspects of
an athlete to be able to do that, but at
the same time, if the shoe fits and then somehow
it just disappears because and there are good ways for
it to disappear. I'm not saying it's all bad culture.
There could be good culture changes. A good culture changes
(01:12:43):
this a head coach with a good reputation works his
ass off, is there for multiple years, and boom gets
an opportunity to take a bigger job. That's what everybody
wants to see. Sanders said it the best coach Sanders.
If you're in coaching, if you're not growing, you're If
you're not growing, you're dying. If the program doesn't grow
(01:13:05):
with you, you're gonna die with the program. Okay, that's
pretty much label it out exactly how it is. So
that's my biggest feel is, I I've seen a lot
of a lot of different faces. I've seen a lot
of different styles of coaching I've seen I've sat in
the coach's meetings, I've sat in different you know, rooms
(01:13:27):
with different thoughts and ideas. But the thing with sports
is it's all centralized around one thing. Other than just
being able to do the sport and being able to
teach the sport, it's the culture of the sport. It's
it's the culture of the community that you can also
bring in. The problem is when you have one too
(01:13:48):
many outliers that are fighting those, you're never going to
build a successful program. And I can say that universally
for any fucking sport. I would love for anybody to
sit down and try to argue with me. I've seen
way too much of this shit and it just pisses
me off because there's a lot of there's a lot
of great athletes that have came through this county. There's
a lot of great athletes that I've seen go and
(01:14:09):
then they pissed down their fucking leg too. So I
mean it's it's because they weren't ready for it. But
I think one day somewhere one of these schools, and
I'm not even just talking our county. I'm talking like
I've been able to see other counties. The greatest example
I have is this, you said, like building a program
(01:14:30):
coaching at Elgin, Waynesfield, Goshen, Okay back in two thousand,
I think it was two thousand and seventeen or sixteen,
so we would have been you would have still been
in high school. We were out of high school. They
actually had a community meeting because they needed one more
(01:14:51):
boy to get on their football team.
Speaker 3 (01:14:52):
I think it was twenty seventeen, one more.
Speaker 2 (01:14:56):
And they fielded sixteen to get a team. They've been
conference champs in the NWCC out of the last ten years,
I think five or six times since then. Oh yeah,
so proofs in the pudding, guys, it's in the pudding.
Yeah so. But sometimes it takes that drastic fucking hit
(01:15:19):
the ground, dying in shock, you revived it. Sometimes it
takes that. So Okay, I'm off my so much.
Speaker 3 (01:15:26):
I forgot about Yeah, I was gonna.
Speaker 1 (01:15:28):
Say, but still smell goodness still years old? Oh my god?
Speaker 3 (01:15:35):
Oh no, all right as well, because.
Speaker 1 (01:15:39):
And pass it that way so he's at the bag.
Speaker 3 (01:15:41):
Yeah, And I honestly it's something though good because I'm
within that and I'll be honest. The guy was MYOC
when I played. He brought in the guy that I
played football with and I have high respects for because
he was one of the best for not chesa city,
but the county and within the state of Ohio. He
will making the numbers and he succeeded to play at
(01:16:02):
the next level, and then Andrew got him, and then
he's bringing in stuff. And now is it too many
like you said, too many chiefs, not enough Indians? I
think it can't. It could be like that. Of course,
my alma mater. I'm going to root for them and
wish them the best and I want to see great
things and I hope it does. But like you said,
(01:16:23):
with all the parents and everything, that's always going to
be a play regardless, and of course not just listen level,
but always the next levels and everything, because he always
hear this, and there's gonna be stuff that's always behind
closed doors that they're not going to fully reveal, which yeah,
they're not going to reveal it, but they always fill
the tea somewhere and it gets out.
Speaker 2 (01:16:41):
I have a lot of friends. That's that's all I
have to say.
Speaker 3 (01:16:45):
We got connections.
Speaker 1 (01:16:46):
I have a friends places.
Speaker 2 (01:16:49):
Oh yeah, it could be whether the whiskey drowns and
the beer chases.
Speaker 3 (01:16:54):
But hey, I'll be okay. But it also again, like
I mentioned earlier in like yes something, there's always gonna
be a different culture change. It's not gonna change, it's
gonna take We'll take years of process and stuff, especially
for Marion Hardy because they're saw division two school.
Speaker 2 (01:17:10):
I mean just not even harding. Like I said, universally,
River Valley had a berth lost that last year. Plus yeah,
had a birth lost that. Ridgedale actually is one of
the most improved teams in this county. Ye had a
birth lost it, you know, it's then lost it. And
(01:17:33):
aspects of Elgin, where I was at, had a chance
for a better seed, just couldn't pull through a couple
So it's like and even surrounding schools like you know,
you're look at another great example and another one close
to me. Look at Northmore. Yep. Northmore has a full
athletic complex. Now, when I played Northmore, they were still
(01:17:55):
running the full house tea yep, and we were beating
and I was off the field by the third quarter
when it was forty eight to seven. Okay, now, grant
I lost my senior year. They beat us my senior year,
my last game, and you know, kudo's that team. That
team came out and played hard. So but I will
say this, that team has grown since twenty fourteen, in
(01:18:21):
the past eleven years, and now that's what we're We're
starting to see those teams rise. Now. I would love
to see this county start to rise. I'd love this
county to be like Carrie. I would love this county
to get somewhere close to Hell. I don't even know.
I can't Macomb level status. Hell. Even Shelby and Ontario
battling it out, and then, you know, even doing pretty
(01:18:42):
decent in the playoffs for a second, they at least
make it to the first round and a decent seed.
Speaker 3 (01:18:47):
So yeah, Ontario did pretty good, made it to.
Speaker 2 (01:18:51):
What third round? I think so, And I think that
universally could work college. I could critique it a little bit.
The only thing I say is you don't deal with
You don't deal with parents.
Speaker 3 (01:19:05):
Yeah, you have the outside influence, but man, even like
you like on the high school level, like you said,
the parent meetings meet here and there. I absolutely do
it once watch football. I dude, agree, you have it
three times. Maybe if you want to try to spread
it out a little bit. Hey, we're done with we're
getting ready to start two days.
Speaker 2 (01:19:20):
You want to talk to me.
Speaker 3 (01:19:21):
Now you could talk to me at this time. We're
done with two days and practices and now we're getting
into end season and here's another day we need to meet.
Because it's always going to be like that, and then
people critique and bitch a little Johnny didn't get to
play special teams because of this. Well, I'm gonna sit
and bitch about it. I'm paying pay to play all
this YadA yad yad. The coaches and everyone's always going
to pick the guy that's playing the best. Coaches don't
(01:19:44):
win the games. It's the players getting cooked as the
players winning your games. And that's where I was warning it.
Speaker 2 (01:19:53):
But I know you're good. I thoroughly. I don't think
that's drove home hard enough at all level. That's the
reason why pros are still getting coached. A lot of
people don't understand those coaches are still coaching them. They're
coaching them on their way to do stuff. Do you
think the Cleveland Browns just likes showing up every week
(01:20:14):
and losing games? Probably not. Now, does it look like
that on TV for US Brown's fans. Absolutely it does
like they want to show up and lose every fucking
game we watch on whether it's Sunday or Monday.
Speaker 3 (01:20:26):
But it's all right, Carolina. That's why they didn't even
get a night game. So Sunday I one o'clock lost.
Speaker 2 (01:20:32):
But do you really think the high school coaches that
I can say make ten maybe ten thousand dollars. I
head a high school head at the levels I've seen
a head coach for high school of football at my
level that I saw maybe ten grand. Okay, do you
think I'm gonna risk ten grand to have an O
for season? Do you think a fucking NFL coach is

and their game against the Islander I suppose, yeah, a
couple of nights ago. Yeah, fucking Elvis laid all out

the highlight, because I think it was this game, like
literally in overtime they almost tried to make a goal
and Elvis just lights that went nope. Literally, But yeah,
blue Jackets competing for a wild card, they're getting that,
like unfortunately we're out. It's Ottawall in Montreal, but we're

Speaker 3 (01:28:09):
And they saw having after my big as you.
Speaker 1 (01:28:10):
Want to know what else. I'm also ready for sure?
Are you ready for DB's three?
Speaker 2 (01:28:32):
Well, that's too damn bad. That's too damn bad. I
didn't really come too prepared for this one.
Speaker 1 (01:28:39):
You've been preparing for years for this one.
Speaker 2 (01:28:42):
Preparing for years for this one. So my favorite after
school snack when I was in high school and then college,
which it all kind of stayed the.
Speaker 7 (01:28:52):
Same, Yes, always involved the same soft drink, the same soda,
the same pop wherever you come from, SEGUMSDA.
Speaker 2 (01:29:10):
And on that now segums. Sure, and that is the crisp, cold,
tickle your innerds mountain dew, it'll tickle your innards. Fun
fact before we get into this, mountain dew was actually
made to mix with the whiskey. It was chaser. Yes.
Speaker 1 (01:29:29):
Yes, so.
Speaker 2 (01:29:32):
We are doing a draft style of mountain dew, but
there are some rules. There's one big rule, and thankfully
I totally forgot we were doing this. I grabbed the
og green mountain dew yes with all the sugar, because
why not. I want to be a fat fuck right now,
So we cannot draft that. That leaves the real sugar
(01:29:53):
up for grabs. Diet and zero sugar in the original flavor.
Those are the only ones we can and draft. Okay,
you get five slots. Once it's taken, it's gone. Okay,
so this is this is gonna be a little nail
bier that we're cutting at least a big crucial one
out because I think all respectively, at least other than me,
(01:30:16):
I would put this at the top. Okay, Well, since
I forgot it was uh dip ship's birthday, we'll have
ex birthday. Boy, go first, I knew that was coming round.
Speaker 1 (01:30:37):
I have to make sure it's there. I would simply
pass away. If we're not there, simply pass away.
Speaker 2 (01:30:46):
There.
Speaker 1 (01:30:47):
I would simply pass away without it.
Speaker 2 (01:30:49):
Mountain Dew code red. Okay, well that just made my
list way harder. Oh, by the way, we can also
use discontinued ones that we would.
Speaker 3 (01:30:57):
Love discontinue if we did.
Speaker 2 (01:31:00):
All because I was just over at the fucking the
dot shop over here. Yeah, sorry, sorry, customer service. No, Actually,
they're really good guys over there. Yeah, they actually joke
with that ship. Actually one of them open carries fucking
scary shit.
Speaker 1 (01:31:13):
That's wild.
Speaker 2 (01:31:14):
Yeah. Uh, I was checking it out when I grabbed
this Mountain dew. They really don't have a big variety
over there, So God is it me? Yeah, because it's
going youngest to the oldest shit, I guess I gotta
take it because it's the only one. I gotta take.
The O G crack sugar.
Speaker 3 (01:31:31):
I figure you're going with that.
Speaker 2 (01:31:32):
I mean it has to be just because. And I
will say this for all the haters to say, well,
didn't teach any different than the one. I just think
you can't use a fuck.
Speaker 3 (01:31:41):
It tastes a lot, yeah, which is awesome. Why when
we talked about it, I'm like, just do the original,
but the actual og, the one that has like throwback. Yeah, literally,
like you get it in the fucking glass bottle.
Speaker 2 (01:31:53):
Yeah you can. They they sold it in the glass bottle.
They sold it with the old packaging on it and
it said Mountain Dew throwback with real Caine sugar. Yes,
that is my number one and it will forever stay
my number one. And I wish they would re release
it just one more time so I can have it
because I miss it. It used to be at every speedway.
Speaker 3 (01:32:11):
They'll come back. You just need to wait, so obviously,
uh real quick. Anyone that says caffeine free mountain Dew, Uh,
go ahead, hop on the mic and come talk to me,
because I'm gonna ask you what the fuck is wrong
with you? You're literally caffeine free Mountain Dew. That's like
ordering a salad and then getting a pop with it.
So anyways, so.
Speaker 2 (01:32:31):
My my mom my, mommy was really mad when I
had a lot of caffeine when I was a kid.
He grew up on the caffeine free mountain class.
Speaker 3 (01:32:41):
Okay, it's okay, I'm anking chains there now. I don't discriminate, but.
Speaker 2 (01:32:47):
I love my mom. I love my mama very much,
and I at least it got to have Mountain Dew.
Speaker 1 (01:32:54):
Give him help.
Speaker 3 (01:32:55):
Yeah, So now I had one co worker he was
talking about how it was the best, and I'm like,
you weren't allowed to have sugar anyway. No Number one,
I'm taking my favorite live live wire, the Orange. Such
you're going and now we're doing snake right, I'm doing
what I call it. I think I said my second

in South America, which, in fact, if it's still listened
about Mountain Dew wide out.
Speaker 2 (01:33:26):

cannot leave Baja Blast. Leave that motherfucker. Got to get
on the list, damn it. We set this up for him.
You're right, all right, I've got one in my back
pocket for my last overall pick. You guys aren't ready.
(01:34:36):
You're not ready.
Speaker 2 (01:34:37):
So we're at number three. So Baja blasts voltage is gone, yes,
and Baja Blast and Baja Blast is gone.
Speaker 1 (01:34:46):
Yes. Oh where is it?
Speaker 2 (01:34:50):

Mountain Dew Pitch Black.
Speaker 1 (01:34:56):
Okay, I'm pissed, but it's okay. Why I still got
my good ones he had in his back pocket.
Speaker 2 (01:35:04):
Mountain Dew pitch black has to be.
Speaker 1 (01:35:08):
I have one that I don't know if you guys
have even had before.
Speaker 2 (01:35:12):
It's probably on this list.
Speaker 3 (01:35:13):
It's on the list.
Speaker 1 (01:35:14):
Are you on the wiki page? Yes, yes, it's on
that list, but I don't know if you guys have
ever had it. Chris might have, I don't know if
probably have.
Speaker 2 (01:35:22):
All Right, so I got three and four?
Speaker 3 (01:35:24):
Okay, okay, So I'm going back with this, and I
actually get it because one is served at Applebe's and
I get all the time, and the other is served
at beat Up, which I get. Dicks number three Mountain
Dew dark Berry Bash number four, Mountain Dew Legend suck
damn it.
Speaker 1 (01:35:43):
That was gonna be one of them.
Speaker 2 (01:35:44):
So kind I'm kind of asking against my own rule.
Does this count for all Mountain Dew products. We're just
going with sodas because we are running out.
Speaker 1 (01:35:55):
I think, well, how many were there fifteen?
Speaker 3 (01:35:58):
Probably? Well, don't forget that some discontinued.
Speaker 1 (01:36:01):
I think we could add like the game fuel, because
technically that is like a mountain dew.
Speaker 2 (01:36:06):
No kickstarts, Let's not do the kickstarts.
Speaker 1 (01:36:08):
I feel like they gets us.
Speaker 2 (01:36:09):
Too many options, so game fuel wise, I was gonna say.
Speaker 3 (01:36:16):
We want to die with the slashes. I say yes,
but if the flavor was taken as the fountain, no,
so like you took about.
Speaker 2 (01:36:24):
You know which one I gotta go with, right? Which
one they put the magic deep into? Yeah, I gotta
go with the charge Terry burst.
Speaker 1 (01:36:32):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (01:36:32):
Number four my last one that was gonna throw everyone
for a loop.
Speaker 1 (01:36:43):
So I got my last two yep, yep, I've got one.
I gotta figure out which one I want to do
for number four. But I feel like I have a
good idea. Oh I'm saved.
Speaker 2 (01:36:55):
I'm saved.
Speaker 1 (01:36:58):
Number four mount do s A and the last one.
I don't know if you guys have ever had this one,
And I'm sad that it was discontinued because I genuinely
feel bad for any human being that never got to
enjoy it. I need to remember the name of it, though,
because they just discontinued it this past year.
Speaker 2 (01:37:18):
Where are you? Where are you?
Speaker 1 (01:37:19):
Where are you?
Speaker 2 (01:37:21):
Come on? Oh damn, they even have the hard Mountain
dewes on here.

Yeah, there is Wait a minute, what was your what
was your favor that you said? What were your two
flavors that you said, No, you said, you're two that
were exclusives to restaurants.
Speaker 3 (01:37:41):
Dark Berry Bash, Okay, dark Berry Bash.
Speaker 1 (01:37:44):
And then okay, good, okay, because the one that I
love is actually a Sam's Club excuse exclusive and they
got rid of it last year. I loved Berry Monsoon.
That's the one I didn't know if you guys had had.
That is my number five. My list is complete and
I have everything that I ever needed. I could die
(01:38:04):
with that list of Mountain Dews and I'd be fine.
Everybody has access to the original Mountain Dews and I'm
google those five. I'm great.
