But the sports talk quickly spirals into hilarious chaos as the gang breaks down the MLB’s disastrous Speedway Classic — a rain-soaked, concession-starved fiasco dubbed “Baseball’s Fire Fest.”

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Been in Skin Show ninety seven point one The Eagle.
Don't forget giving away Pantera tickets sometime in the next
couple hours, and it may have to do with this.
I sent you guys a picture just now.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Gee.
Speaker 1 (00:12):
I want you guys to look on our group thread.
Christina has already seen it.
Speaker 3 (00:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (00:17):
Do you recognize anybody in that picture? Christina?
Speaker 2 (00:20):
I don't.
Speaker 4 (00:22):
I feel like I should, though.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
The guy on the right, did you recognize him, Been,
I thought it was Prince. It's Billy Joel in his
nineteen seventy heavy metal band Attila oh Man, which was
a two man band, a drummer and Billy Joel on
a distorted organ doing heavy metal.
Speaker 4 (00:41):
It's such a funny picture. There's raw meat everywhere around them.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
It's right out of spiral tap, dressed like Hungarian you know.
Speaker 4 (00:49):
It's Attila's name of the band.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
Hungarian Warriors, and they're surrounded by raw meat and a
frozen storage and that's the cover of their heavy metal album.
Speaker 4 (00:57):
Isn't that a distorted organ? The name of your peen journal, Yes,
it is. To talk about the big curve.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
You're Bill or Bill, so remember that. It'll come come
back to you later. Remember Billy Joel's heavy metal band Attila.
I promise you it'll pay off later in this show,
but right now it's time for this.
Speaker 4 (01:20):
Around the sports k Queens has all the sports.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
Yes, it is with absolute pleasure to report that the
Texas Rangers got a.
Speaker 4 (01:31):
Big win last night.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
Down five to four into the ninth, the Yankees bring
in their closer and who's coming up for the Rangers
with one out, Jock Peterson let us go and kind
of is unhappy with because they gave him a two year,
thirty seven million dollar deal and he's hitting about one
twenty his weight.
Speaker 4 (01:49):
He's having a rough year, man.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
But then he squares one up in the bottom of
the ninth, looks at the dugout, yells, don't f with
me three times, and circles the bases.
Speaker 4 (01:59):
The Rangers tie the game.
Speaker 5 (02:00):
By the way, I was curious about that, and I I,
I don't know who he's talking to.
Speaker 4 (02:06):
I think maybe just the world and all the haters.
And he looked at the Rangers bench.
Speaker 5 (02:10):
He was either I don't know, is he is he
I was trying to understand if who he might be
talking to there.
Speaker 4 (02:17):
I think he's mad at Simeon I don't think he's
mad at Simeon.
Speaker 5 (02:21):
You know the is he is he looking at the skipper?
Is he looking at hitting coach?
Speaker 4 (02:28):
Is he? I know it didn't make sense to me.
You think you can get an off speed pitch by me?
Speaker 5 (02:36):
Yeah, he's gotten any pitch by him.
Speaker 4 (02:39):
It's really incredible. He's about like one sixteen or something, and.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
He's got that whole thing that's not going in his favors.
That he is a big guy. And for some for
whatever reason, people get tolerated big guy that's struggling because
you're you just do some setups, you'd be in it.
Speaker 4 (02:53):
It's like I've always been big. I don't know what
you want. He's like John Goodman in The Big Lebowski.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
But it gets them to extra innings. The new guy,
Koloom or colomb we traded for awesome, like the ball's
just moving, crazy head. They had runs on the corners
and they tapped the ground ball back to him. So
the Yankees got there's one out, he's gonna go home run.
Speaker 4 (03:16):
Just throw it home. You'll get the guy out. And
he's like, no, I'm turning two. Flips it around, turn two.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
Go to the bottom of the tenth, get a guy
on and Josh Young gets a three run home run. Incredible,
and the Rangers win. Get a game when the Yankees,
who they're chasing, the Yankees been playing bats. You got
a chance to, like can leap frog them at some point.
Speaker 4 (03:32):
What's going on with the Astros and the Mariners?
Speaker 3 (03:34):
Yesterday the Astros won and the Mariners were off, but
that we're not worried about them too much.
Speaker 4 (03:38):
I mean about him game. They gotta have game, We don't.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
Will not worried about it because the Yankees are a
team you gotta go get to you know again tonight
at seven.
Speaker 4 (03:48):
That was very fun.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
It was very loud in there last night, but it
was probably like half Yankee fans, but not a baseball towns.
What Josh said, he's probably right.
Speaker 4 (03:56):
I'd love to sweep those bastards.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
Baseball tried to do something called Speedway Classic over the
weekend and they were gonna have the Reds and Braves
play at Bristol Motor Speedway.
Speaker 4 (04:05):
Honestly looked pretty awesome.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
I saw a lot of ramp up talk about getting
the baseball field in that area and what it took
and all that court.
Speaker 4 (04:12):
The overhead view of it was amazing.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
Yeah, and you know, Bristol is known to be a
short track, but it's like exciting one.
Speaker 4 (04:18):
But there's a lot of recks and things like that.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
So Bristol's got this kind of history to it and
put a baseball game in there.
Speaker 4 (04:24):
Okay, that's fine.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
Well it rained out on Saturday, so that's a bit
of a problem. But here are some of the tweets
from all the fans who were there. One guy tweeted
major League fail and then he tagged the teams of Nature.
The Bristol game was the MLB version of Firefest. Awful logistics,
no food except bundless hot dogs and cheeseless nachos, multiple
(04:48):
shuttles to even get in the stadium, and completely unprepared
for rain because it rained.
Speaker 4 (04:53):
Bundless hot dog is really disgusting.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
He posted a picture of two hot dog. You could
buy it at the concession stand the hot dog wiener.
Speaker 4 (05:05):
Oh this is a homemade hot Would you do that?
Speaker 5 (05:08):
Then that's my style because I don't eat the bun
I don't eat the carbs.
Speaker 4 (05:12):
So for me, that's exactly how would order it that
looks appealing to you?
Speaker 5 (05:17):
Does not look that people, No, but it's just just like, uh,
you know, concession chips with no cheese on there, that
looks like the thing in.
Speaker 4 (05:26):
The history of the planet terrible. They just they look stale.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
So one gat tweeted, Bristol knows how to handle ninety
thousand people. NASCAR has had to handle ninety thousand people.
It will be a zero clue how to handle ninety
thousand people.
Speaker 4 (05:41):
That's how people. Again, that's twice the.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
Amount of the Rangers Stadium if it was sold out,
like it's two of them, So it's a lot of people,
and they didn't have enough concession stands ready to go
and ran.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
Now stuff, I saw something where they're talking about race.
Fans are usually allowed to bring coolers full of food
and stuff like that, and so they weren't allowed to
do that, and so the concessions were not prepared for that.
Speaker 4 (06:04):
That makes sense, Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. Downtown.
You back in the day, I've probably told you all
this story.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
Four solid move because you could take soft drinks into games, okay,
and to range your gets or water bottles whatever, you
can take them. It used to be honest, if you
still can't. So back then they used to have it
the mountain dew is like a green bottle. So parents
would stop and they'd tell me and my brother to
chug these mountain dews, okay, and then they fill up
(06:31):
the mountain dews of beer. You can't tell the difference.
Speaker 5 (06:34):
Wait, they would take a green bottle mountain dew flavored
beer into the game.
Speaker 4 (06:38):
Well, no, no, the bottles are empty. Yeah, but dude,
there's still mountain dew residue in there.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
Not the way Kevin and his brother would suck that
mountain dew out of there.
Speaker 4 (06:45):
I mean, you're rid of it, but find a way
to make it work. It's beer.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
You're saving fifty to sixty bucks, you know, nowadays one
hundred and twenty bucks probably.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Dude, it is so weird to just go out to
eat to a restaurant. I go with my family, all
four of us get a soda, and then you look
in their sixteen dollars of soda on your Yeah, I.
Speaker 4 (07:02):
Mean, like four dollars for a coat. What the hell
just happened? It's out of control. Everything's too expensive.
Speaker 5 (07:08):
I got that macha on the way here is ten
dollars with whoa, and she goes, I'm gonna hand you
this it's gonna ask you a question.
Speaker 4 (07:14):
I was like, what question is it gonna ask me?
Speaker 3 (07:16):
You know?
Speaker 4 (07:17):
He goes, hey, you know what it is like? Did
you wear underwear today? Can you put me to college?
Speaker 1 (07:21):
All?
Speaker 4 (07:21):
Right? There you have it.
Speaker 5 (07:22):

Love Shack. Have you guys heard about the horny Houston cop?
