The Pine. It's time to rage.
(00:26):
Oh yeah, welcome back everybody to another episode of Trippin' from the Pine.
My name's Josh here today with good buddy Adam.
Yes.
And today we're going to be talking about the Ontario Sports Empire Complex, right? Is that what it's called?
Yeeeeeeeeeeee, fuck. Yeah, way to catch me with my pants down.
(00:48):
Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I just thought-
Ontario Sports Empire Baseball Stadium or Ontario Sports Empire Complex.
Yeah, Ontario Sports Empire is what it will be named.
So we're talking about that today, which is here, by the way, it's here in Ontario, California, not Ontario, Canada.
Good buddy.
Our good buddies, our sister fucking, dude what if there was a sister podcast, what do they call it on, well I guess Pine, well it's the bench, what do they call it on fucking Trippin', we did steal that from them because-
(01:21):
Trippin' is a thing, like just-
Yeah, but like, don't they like-
That's not exclusive to fucking Canadians.
Maybe. What would our Canadian counterpart podcast be called?
I don't know.
Trippin' from the Pine, eh?
Who gives a fuck, they're Canadian.
That's a good point. Anyways, if you're not Canadian, go to YouTube.
(01:42):
Just punishing them for no reason.
Just because they're Canadian and we felt like it. But you know, it's cool, they're really nice and they'll just forgive us in the end and we'll all be buddies.
We'll all be buddies, guy!

Alright, so, this is a new stadium that's getting put in.
(02:06):
Yes, the Dodger affiliates, single A team known as the Rancho Cucamonga Quakes that are the Dodger single A affiliate team are now moving and starting.
No longer, remember, that thing you said, it's not them, it's gonna be a new team.
A new team.
The Rancho Cucamonga Quakes will now be fucked and they will now need to look for a new daddy to get some money.
(02:32):
Yeah.
Cause old dad hit the bricks, the Dodgers went to get milk and never came back.
So, I don't know how that works. I don't know if that means that once this new team is started that they're just gonna poach all the talent, scoop them all out, and then whatever's left over.
Cause as you were saying, it's minor league contract, minor league players that are specifically contracted by the baseball team as opposed to being Dodgers.
(03:01):
Yeah, like farm system candidates or whatever.
Yeah.
So, it's those guys, all the Dodgers can, all the Dodgers contracted guys are gonna immediately go to this new team.
The team will be left with the guys that are not, and again, that's, I don't know what the composition is of the Quakes, of who's contracted to the Dodger and who's not.
Yeah.
But essentially, that's what's gonna happen.
(03:25):
That percentage of guys is gonna go and the team will be left with however many guys that they have that are just contracted with the Quakes as minor league players and then they're gonna have to fill out the rest of the team, obviously.
And then, you know, the minor leagues, dude, they draft and stuff. They have like a draft and shit, each division or whatever has drafts. So, like, you know, fuck, they'll be fine, I'm sure.
(03:49):
Yeah.
I mean, who gives a fuck?
I will say, man, I'm very excited about this fucking team existing because, at least from what it's looking like, the sports complex, which is gonna have a whole bunch of amenities for the public to use with numerous baseball fields, a football field, and all kinds of shit, in addition to the stadium itself that's being built for the unnamed team that will be coming to Ontario.
(04:20):
Yeah.
So, this thing is gonna end up being built by the 60 and 15 freeway.
I forgot what streets proper they are, the cross streets, but that's a rough estimation of where it's gonna be at. And it's actually gonna be closer to Eastvale.
So, I might actually start going to these.
(04:43):
Oh, no, we're definitely going, man.
I'm going to these single A games because...
I would like to actually go do that. So, we're gonna start doing that and maybe even bringing the shit and like reporting live, like, while we're there and stuff. That'd be kind of cool. It's basically at Archibald and East Riverside Drive.
Fuck yeah.
I mean, I kind of hate the fact that it's somewhat in Eastville because, like, getting to that Silver Lakes complex or whatever, that shit's a pain in the ass, dude.
(05:15):
Yeah, it is.
It's the Hamners.
Yeah, we don't even need to take the fucking freeway.
Yeah.
It's just straight fucking... I like how they have this as, like, a fucking giant river and it's like nothing.
It's not that big, yeah.
It's like you could literally just go straight down fucking Hamner, man, to get there.
Yeah, but I mean, on a Friday night when that's Silver Lakes, when they have soccer and all that shit going on.
(05:38):
Oh, yeah, that's true.
It's a pain in the ass.
Fuck that.
You have to go to Archibald.
Well, we can go to... we can cut through... what is this street here?
It's River?
Oh, yeah.
Look at that, because River turns into Archibald, right?
Yeah.
Yeah, so like, oh, dude, we can just take Side Streets.
We can take the freeway?
Yeah.
Hell yeah.
We're going to fucking every game.
I might get season tickets if we don't get press passes.
8,000 person or 8,000 seat stadium that's being built in addition to the... all the previous things I was saying about the amenities for public use and all that shit.
(06:09):
That's going to be fucking sweet.
And then you got... the players are going to be poached from the Rancho Cucamonga Quakes, which is going to be fucking hilarious.
And on top of that, this team is going to be newly dubbed.
So if you want to contribute your part, it's going to be... I think the deadline is November 22nd.
(06:31):
Didn't I say when it opens?
I think it's the start... what?
Is it the deadline or when it opens?
I think that's the deadline, the deadline for the team.
The team name suggestions.
So yeah, where can you go suggest the...
Fuck, it looks like it's on the Ontario City website, if I'm not mistaken.
(06:57):
Ontario Professional Baseball. That was what this LLC is called. Professional Baseball.
Professional Baseball.
Ontario Professional Baseball Home. A New Era.
Fuck, is this...
That's the...
That's the worst, man.
Like...
That's... you know that's just the placeholder.
I know what I'm saying. That is terrible.
(07:19):
Yeah, it's like, Mountside...
Baseball is coming to Ontario.
Fuck, yeah.
Please get here to say current... oh, opening day 2026.
Name your team, Ontario.
Well, look at the date. Look at the bottom of where it says...
It says that we open through Friday... oh, through Friday, November 22nd. So it's until then.
(07:42):
Alright, what do we think the name should be?
I don't know, but...
Hehehehe.
I don't know what the team name should be, but...
Dude, you know what I think they should be? I think they should be the Ontario GameRage magazines.
Alright, that's...
Yeah.
So...
Assuming everything goes well,
when it comes to them breaking ground and us getting to the opening of the stadium itself,
(08:07):
it looks like it's gonna take about one plus years to... so 2026.
Sometime in 2026, they're assuming...
They said they're... this team says it's playing there.
In 2026.
So March, April...
2026, they will be...
It will be fully operational.
Uh...
(08:29):
So, according to news sites, they're saying that this is the largest sports complex west of the Rockies
for a situation like this, for a minor league team like this to have this type of fucking...
Listen, not just a minor league team, a single A minor league team.
Yeah.
(08:49):
The... now listen, I'm not trying to like... well, no I am. I am being strategic.
The bottom fucking tier.
The lowest level.
Like, I could probably go walk onto a single A team right now.
Like, having not played in fucking however many years,
I bet you I can go walk onto a single A fucking team.
And being fucking out of shape, I could probably do it.
You know what's gonna be fucking great?
(09:11):
What?
Is what I do? When they have the open tryouts for this and I go and I actually get a contract?
No. My favorite part of minor league fucking teams is when a major star
on a team...
ends up going to like say this new fucking team...
(09:32):
Oh, for like...
For rehab.
Rehab or whatever, yeah.
Yeah, and they'll play like a few games and you get to see them for, you know, fucking...
Pennies on the dollar.
Pennies on the dollar. That shit's tight.
Especially for us, it's gonna be like right around the corner.
I mean, I mean, location wise, it's right around the corner.
Yes, right here. I mean, that's pretty awesome.
So do you think now that the Dodgers are gonna be off with their heads with these guys, the Quakes,
(09:57):
do you think they're gonna change their colors to like whatever the new team is gonna be?
I'm sure they're gonna do something because I mean, why would they follow up with all this?
Because I'll tell you what, when the Angels, they were the single A affiliate for the Angels,
I do remember them being red, like they had red on it and like...
I don't know if I... Shit, I could barely remember.
I don't know about...
Yeah.
Because they were also affiliated with the Padres too at one point.
(10:19):
They were affiliated with all three Southern California teams.
I don't remember what... I don't think I gave a shit when they were the Padres.
I don't know anyway you did.
But I do remember them back in the 90s when they were with the Angels,
they had like this black, red and like gold color scheme and it was fucking cool.
And then it seems like when they got with the Dodgers, they just changed it to blue.
(10:40):
Yeah, I mean...
Dude, I'm gonna be honest.
Even if I had any remote interest to go see the Rancho Quakes, even for any minute reason,
I mean, there was a player that I was interested in seeing play there,
but dude, that stadium is old as fuck.
And also...
(11:03):
The thing I hate about that area is there are like numerous warehouses.
So it's not really a good...
As far as like views go, it's not that appealing.
Like you're all around these fucking warehouses and shit,
knowing that this new stadium is going to be built,
and hopefully it's not near any fucking warehouses or whatever,
but when you look outside, you're not looking at fucking warehouses.
(11:26):
It'll be something different.
So I'm glad they're deciding to move somewhere closer to us.
And I mean, sure, I know for a fact, I'll fucking...
Hopefully it will be there day one, dude, because that'll be fucking cool.
We're gonna be there day one.
Hopefully they got a good name.
I don't know, what are you thinking?
What kind of ideas you got for...
(11:47):
Obviously the game raged magazines is not gonna fucking work.
Yeah, of course not.
But realistically, I feel like they're gonna...
I feel like they kind of tipped their hand already
that it's gonna be the Ontario Empire.
Like that's what they're gonna call it.
Ontario Empire? Fuck.
Yeah, I mean, you've got...
Like the sports complex is the Ontario Sports Empire.
The Empire, yeah.
(12:09):
So I think the team name is probably gonna be something related to that.
Yeah, but as you were saying, the Inland Empire 66ers...
Right, you have Empire in a name with when they're called the Inland Empire.
Because I think they're...
Fuck, what division are they in? Those idiots in.
Are they in fucking single A or are they double A?
66ers? I think they're single A.
So then they're in the same fucking thing.
So like, it probably won't...
(12:31):
You're right, it probably won't be the Empire.
Damn, fucking the Quakes are really going hard on this like barbecue, fucking BBQ.
As a jersey?
Yeah, like that's weird, man. BBQ baseball.
Are they just gonna change the narrative and fucking go with that?
They're gonna be called BBQ baseball?
Rancho Cucamonga Quakes, man. BBQ baseball.
I mean, that's cool, they got a little grill.
(12:53):
Yeah, they're a single A team.
Okay, so then that's definitely...
That's gotta be out.
That'd be too stupid to have two teams with Empire in the name.
I hope they go... I mean, the thing I'm really hoping for because...
...while all this is a name is trash pandas is...
I hope they give us something cute and cool, fucking cool mascot.
(13:15):
Cool fucking team name.
But I just can't think off the top of my head what they fucking name.
I mean, what's like a cute fucking name for an animal?
Like another...
The Ontario Baby Kittens.
I don't know, like...
The Ontario Puppies.
Yeah.
The Ontario Stray Cats.
The Ontario Alley Cats.
(13:36):
Oh man, that might be a good one.
Because it says on the little thing...
It says, when you want to fucking do the name, it says...
I think the team name should be...
And then you put it in and it says...
The reason my team name represents the community is...
Oh, you want it to represent the community.
Well, in that case, as you said earlier, I think we need to go with like the Ontario Fentanyl.
(13:57):
Or like perhaps the Ontario Methamphetamines.
Maybe even the Ontario Hookers.
You know, I think that that might be very representative of the city of Ontario.
Because they do such a service to the community.
As a matter of fact, maybe even the Ontario Corruptions would probably be like...
Even the great name, like that'd be pretty sweet.
Totally represents the country.
Dude, the symbol could be handcuffed, like that could be their logo.
(14:21):
The Ontario Police Brutalities.
That's a good one, too.
Yeah.
I think the team name should be the Ontario Police Brutalities because the police beat us too much in this community.
Fuck, well...
I mean...
The Ontario Officer Involved Shootings.
I wonder if it's going to be the Ontario Warehouses.
(14:44):
I mean, realistically, that is what...
Ontario has like the most warehouses like per capita, I think, of any city in the Ilan Empire.
Yeah, I mean...
I'm going to put that...
The Ontario Distribution Centers.
I wonder if there's actual animals that are just exclusive to this area so that it's not just...
Okay, well, not exclusive, but like one that's big would be like coyotes.
(15:08):
Okay, that'd be kind of fucking sweet.
Which would be kind of cool. The Ontario Coyotes.
Yeah, that'd be kind of sweet.
You'd have the Ontario...
There's this little bird.
Fuck.
It's like a roadrunner, but it's not a roadrunner.
I forget what the name of it is, but like you could maybe do that.
Like a quail?
It's kind of like a quail. It's like a mix of a quail and a roadrunner, I guess.
(15:29):
I forget what the fuck it's called. Some stupid...
It's only local here?
Yeah, I've only ever heard of it being around here.
Or at least it's prevalent around here.
You could do the Ontario Burrowing Owls, because that's another one that's really big in this area.
Oh, that'd be fucking sweet. I'd be down for that.
Some kind of owl. Because they're adorable, too, these little fucking burrowing owls.
Yeah.
Oh, and it's OO, so like Ontario Owls. Oh, shit. And then the eyes.
(15:53):
Yeah, a little race. That works for me.
Well, that and the logo can be the O and the O and it's the eyes.
Like looking down, that'd be fucking sweet.
Like, oh man. All right. There's a lot of fucking options here.
Ontario Owls sounds like the strongest candidate.
Yeah, I think so. I think the end. The Ontario Owls.
All right. So stay tuned for more Trippin' from the Pine, where we talk about the Ontario Sports Empire Complex, all that jazz.
(16:18):
Yep.
Roki Sasaki. I'm sure we're going to have more news on that.
Also, hopefully our names get submitted for the Ontario Fentanyl and.
And yeah, the Ontario Police Portalities.
Or no, the Ontario Officer Involved Shootings. That's that's probably going to be a good one. That'd be the tops.
I do think the Ontario Corruption would be a great fucking name. I just I don't know.
Yeah.
(16:39):
Maybe I'm biased, but anyways. All right. What else you got?
Nothing. Hot diggity.
Hot diggity. All right. Let's get the fuck out of here.
Anyways, go to GameRage Magazine on YouTube.
Also, go to that Ontario professional baseball website and put in some silly names, some silly names.
Also, it wouldn't hurt if you put in the GameRage magazines as well. That'd be fucking pretty awesome.
So, I mean, you know, I just see what if they called us and they're like, hey, we'd like to buy this GameRage magazine name off of you.
(17:05):
I'd be like, fuck no, we want ownership percentages. Let's go.
Or maybe we should buy whatever the the name is.
We should prepare to buy the domain so that we could sell it back to them. Oh, shit. Oh, dude, Ontario Owls. Yeah.
That's genius. All right. We're doing that right now. Let's go on and fucking start.
Yeah. We'll tell them like all. So we'll make all the suggestions and we'll buy all the domains and whichever one we'll sell.
(17:26):
Profit. That's fucking excellent. This is the most American thing we've ever done.
Sell to them. And also we get lifetime seats for. Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. We get lifetime front row fucking seats behind. Right behind our own plate. Or maybe on third base line.
You know what's going to happen? What?
All right. Side effect of them placing this giant ass state of the art sports complex in Ontario.
(17:48):
I think we're going to get the CIF Southern section finals for baseball. Yeah.
They're every fucking year. Yeah. It'll be there every year. Yeah. Fuck. Yes.
That means I don't have to go anywhere. That's true.
Oh, how great. How great it is. I'm going to do shit.
What a convenience. No traveling. Yes.
What a convenience for the Inland Empire. What a great day for the world. Yeah.
What a great day for Ontario. What a great day for Southern California.
(18:09):
Definitely. For the world.
Anyways. All right. We're out of here. We'll catch you guys on the next one.

Ontario Sports Empire Baseball Stadium or Ontario Sports Empire Complex.
Yeah, Ontario Sports Empire is what it will be named.
So we're talking about that today, which is here, by the way, it's here in Ontario, California, not Ontario, Canada.
Good buddy.
Our good buddies, our sister fucking, dude what if there was a sister podcast, what do they call it on, well I guess Pine, well it's the bench, what do they call it on fucking Trippin', we did steal that from them because-
(01:21):
Trippin' is a thing, like just-
Yeah, but like, don't they like-
That's not exclusive to fucking Canadians.
Maybe. What would our Canadian counterpart podcast be called?
I don't know.
Trippin' from the Pine, eh?
Who gives a fuck, they're Canadian.
That's a good point. Anyways, if you're not Canadian, go to YouTube.
(01:42):
Just punishing them for no reason.
Just because they're Canadian and we felt like it. But you know, it's cool, they're really nice and they'll just forgive us in the end and we'll all be buddies.

Alright, so, this is a new stadium that's getting put in.

Yes, the Dodger affiliates, single A team known as the Rancho Cucamonga Quakes that are the Dodger single A affiliate team are now moving and starting.
No longer, remember, that thing you said, it's not them, it's gonna be a new team.
A new team.
The Rancho Cucamonga Quakes will now be fucked and they will now need to look for a new daddy to get some money.

Yeah.
Cause old dad hit the bricks, the Dodgers went to get milk and never came back.

Listen, not just a minor league team, a single A minor league team.
Yeah.
(08:49):
The... now listen, I'm not trying to like... well, no I am. I am being strategic.
The bottom fucking tier.
The lowest level.
Like, I could probably go walk onto a single A team right now.

I bet you I can go walk onto a single A fucking team.
And being fucking out of shape, I could probably do it.
You know what's gonna be fucking great?
(09:11):
What?
Is what I do? When they have the open tryouts for this and I go and I actually get a contract?
No. My favorite part of minor league fucking teams is when a major star
on a team...
ends up going to like say this new fucking team...
(09:32):
Oh, for like...
For rehab.
Rehab or whatever, yeah.
Yeah, and they'll play like a few games and you get to see them for, you know, fucking...
Pennies on the dollar.
Pennies on the dollar. That shit's tight.
Especially for us, it's gonna be like right around the corner.
I mean, I mean, location wise, it's right around the corner.
Yes, right here. I mean, that's pretty awesome.
So do you think now that the Dodgers are gonna be off with their heads with these guys, the Quakes,
(09:57):
do you think they're gonna change their colors to like whatever the new team is gonna be?
I'm sure they're gonna do something because I mean, why would they follow up with all this?
Because I'll tell you what, when the Angels, they were the single A affiliate for the Angels,
I do remember them being red, like they had red on it and like...
I don't know if I... Shit, I could barely remember.
I don't know about...
Yeah.
Because they were also affiliated with the Padres too at one point.
(10:19):
They were affiliated with all three Southern California teams.
I don't remember what... I don't think I gave a shit when they were the Padres.
I don't know anyway you did.
But I do remember them back in the 90s when they were with the Angels,
they had like this black, red and like gold color scheme and it was fucking cool.
And then it seems like when they got with the Dodgers, they just changed it to blue.
(10:40):
Yeah, I mean...
Dude, I'm gonna be honest.
Even if I had any remote interest to go see the Rancho Quakes, even for any minute reason,
I mean, there was a player that I was interested in seeing play there,
but dude, that stadium is old as fuck.
And also...
(11:03):
The thing I hate about that area is there are like numerous warehouses.
So it's not really a good...
As far as like views go, it's not that appealing.
Like you're all around these fucking warehouses and shit,
knowing that this new stadium is going to be built,
and hopefully it's not near any fucking warehouses or whatever,
but when you look outside, you're not looking at fucking warehouses.
(11:26):
It'll be something different.
So I'm glad they're deciding to move somewhere closer to us.
And I mean, sure, I know for a fact, I'll fucking...
Hopefully it will be there day one, dude, because that'll be fucking cool.
We're gonna be there day one.
Hopefully they got a good name.
I don't know, what are you thinking?
What kind of ideas you got for...
(11:47):
Obviously the game raged magazines is not gonna fucking work.
Yeah, of course not.
But realistically, I feel like they're gonna...
I feel like they kind of tipped their hand already
that it's gonna be the Ontario Empire.
Like that's what they're gonna call it.
Ontario Empire? Fuck.
Yeah, I mean, you've got...
Like the sports complex is the Ontario Sports Empire.
The Empire, yeah.
(12:09):
So I think the team name is probably gonna be something related to that.
Yeah, but as you were saying, the Inland Empire 66ers...
Right, you have Empire in a name with when they're called the Inland Empire.
Because I think they're...
Fuck, what division are they in? Those idiots in.
Are they in fucking single A or are they double A?
66ers? I think they're single A.
So then they're in the same fucking thing.
So like, it probably won't...
(12:31):
You're right, it probably won't be the Empire.
Damn, fucking the Quakes are really going hard on this like barbecue, fucking BBQ.
As a jersey?
Yeah, like that's weird, man. BBQ baseball.
Are they just gonna change the narrative and fucking go with that?
They're gonna be called BBQ baseball?
Rancho Cucamonga Quakes, man. BBQ baseball.
I mean, that's cool, they got a little grill.
(12:53):
Yeah, they're a single A team.
Okay, so then that's definitely...
That's gotta be out.
That'd be too stupid to have two teams with Empire in the name.
I hope they go... I mean, the thing I'm really hoping for because...
...while all this is a name is trash pandas is...
I hope they give us something cute and cool, fucking cool mascot.
(13:15):
Cool fucking team name.
But I just can't think off the top of my head what they fucking name.
I mean, what's like a cute fucking name for an animal?
Like another...
The Ontario Baby Kittens.
I don't know, like...
The Ontario Puppies.
Yeah.
The Ontario Stray Cats.
The Ontario Alley Cats.
(13:36):
Oh man, that might be a good one.
Because it says on the little thing...
It says, when you want to fucking do the name, it says...
I think the team name should be...
And then you put it in and it says...
The reason my team name represents the community is...
Oh, you want it to represent the community.
Well, in that case, as you said earlier, I think we need to go with like the Ontario Fentanyl.
(13:57):
Or like perhaps the Ontario Methamphetamines.
Maybe even the Ontario Hookers.
You know, I think that that might be very representative of the city of Ontario.
Because they do such a service to the community.
As a matter of fact, maybe even the Ontario Corruptions would probably be like...
Even the great name, like that'd be pretty sweet.
Totally represents the country.
Dude, the symbol could be handcuffed, like that could be their logo.
(14:21):
The Ontario Police Brutalities.
That's a good one, too.
Yeah.
I think the team name should be the Ontario Police Brutalities because the police beat us too much in this community.
Fuck, well...
I mean...
The Ontario Officer Involved Shootings.
I wonder if it's going to be the Ontario Warehouses.
(14:44):
I mean, realistically, that is what...
Ontario has like the most warehouses like per capita, I think, of any city in the Ilan Empire.
Yeah, I mean...
I'm going to put that...
The Ontario Distribution Centers.
I wonder if there's actual animals that are just exclusive to this area so that it's not just...
Okay, well, not exclusive, but like one that's big would be like coyotes.
(15:08):
Okay, that'd be kind of fucking sweet.
Which would be kind of cool. The Ontario Coyotes.
Yeah, that'd be kind of sweet.
You'd have the Ontario...
There's this little bird.
Fuck.
It's like a roadrunner, but it's not a roadrunner.
I forget what the name of it is, but like you could maybe do that.
Like a quail?
It's kind of like a quail. It's like a mix of a quail and a roadrunner, I guess.
(15:29):
I forget what the fuck it's called. Some stupid...
It's only local here?
Yeah, I've only ever heard of it being around here.
Or at least it's prevalent around here.
You could do the Ontario Burrowing Owls, because that's another one that's really big in this area.
Oh, that'd be fucking sweet. I'd be down for that.
Some kind of owl. Because they're adorable, too, these little fucking burrowing owls.
Yeah.
Oh, and it's OO, so like Ontario Owls. Oh, shit. And then the eyes.
(15:53):
Yeah, a little race. That works for me.
Well, that and the logo can be the O and the O and it's the eyes.
Like looking down, that'd be fucking sweet.
Like, oh man. All right. There's a lot of fucking options here.
Ontario Owls sounds like the strongest candidate.
Yeah, I think so. I think the end. The Ontario Owls.
All right. So stay tuned for more Trippin' from the Pine, where we talk about the Ontario Sports Empire Complex, all that jazz.
(16:18):
Yep.
Roki Sasaki. I'm sure we're going to have more news on that.
Also, hopefully our names get submitted for the Ontario Fentanyl and.
And yeah, the Ontario Police Portalities.
Or no, the Ontario Officer Involved Shootings. That's that's probably going to be a good one. That'd be the tops.
I do think the Ontario Corruption would be a great fucking name. I just I don't know.
Yeah.
(16:39):
Maybe I'm biased, but anyways. All right. What else you got?
Nothing. Hot diggity.
Hot diggity. All right. Let's get the fuck out of here.
Anyways, go to GameRage Magazine on YouTube.
Also, go to that Ontario professional baseball website and put in some silly names, some silly names.
Also, it wouldn't hurt if you put in the GameRage magazines as well. That'd be fucking pretty awesome.
So, I mean, you know, I just see what if they called us and they're like, hey, we'd like to buy this GameRage magazine name off of you.
(17:05):
I'd be like, fuck no, we want ownership percentages. Let's go.
Or maybe we should buy whatever the the name is.
We should prepare to buy the domain so that we could sell it back to them. Oh, shit. Oh, dude, Ontario Owls. Yeah.
That's genius. All right. We're doing that right now. Let's go on and fucking start.
Yeah. We'll tell them like all. So we'll make all the suggestions and we'll buy all the domains and whichever one we'll sell.
(17:26):
Profit. That's fucking excellent. This is the most American thing we've ever done.
Sell to them. And also we get lifetime seats for. Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. We get lifetime front row fucking seats behind. Right behind our own plate. Or maybe on third base line.
You know what's going to happen? What?
All right. Side effect of them placing this giant ass state of the art sports complex in Ontario.
(17:48):
I think we're going to get the CIF Southern section finals for baseball. Yeah.
They're every fucking year. Yeah. It'll be there every year. Yeah. Fuck. Yes.
That means I don't have to go anywhere. That's true.
Oh, how great. How great it is. I'm going to do shit.
What a convenience. No traveling. Yes.
What a convenience for the Inland Empire. What a great day for the world. Yeah.
What a great day for Ontario. What a great day for Southern California.
(18:09):
Definitely. For the world.
Anyways. All right. We're out of here. We'll catch you guys on the next one.
