And then the one you walk across the skywalk to
get to is Low's Arlington. Dude, I love Skybridge Skybridge right, Well,
that's my favorite Bond movie. It sounds like a Bond
movie Skybridge. By the way, when you stay at this
we got a lot to talk about today. But when
you stay at this hotel Live by Low's, huh, And
it's again so I mean, most people would be happy,
(02:03):
super happy and pay a lot of money to park
just as close as we are at this hotel. If
you were going to the game, Well, when you stay
at this hotel, there's a vip entrance right here to
sneak you.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
Into the ball. Oh that's nice.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
So yeah, you get to walk right around the back,
avoid the lines the vip entrance into the globally field.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
Dude, I didn't tell you guys that she'll saw my
daughter earlier.
Speaker 4 (02:25):
My daughter and her boyfriend Connor.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
My daughter got Connor opening day tickets for Christmas, all right,
that was his Christmas gift, and she was like, take
your homies.
Speaker 4 (02:35):
He took her.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
And she does not know baseball from the volleyball and sos.
All she cares about is do I look cute in
this jersey?
Speaker 4 (02:46):
That's you know, that's your thing.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
So anyways, she got here and they didn't know anything
about parking.
Speaker 4 (02:52):
Guess how much they dropped to park?
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Okay, wow, First of all, how close do they park there?
Speaker 4 (02:58):
They didn't have to walk too far.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
I say that I've heard people pay one sixty to park,
and I've heard people pay forty to park.
Speaker 4 (03:04):
She paid one sixty five at a Ranger game.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
Yeah, that's not good.
Speaker 4 (03:09):
She parked too close.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
She parked a valley apart far away and you walk. Yeah,
you can part you can find God.
Speaker 5 (03:15):
Look at this, you can find it for fifteen or
twenty and you and you walk.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
Look at this Tyler Norman from Happy Dad in the House.
It's incredible, sweet uniform on How does he have a
Happy Dad Rangers uniform already?
Speaker 3 (03:28):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
It's incredible and he's.
Speaker 4 (03:30):
Got some sick Jordan.
Speaker 5 (03:31):
What do you guys think Opening Days like for people
who don't give a crap about baseball or know anything
about it, and they're kind of like, like.
Speaker 4 (03:37):
What's going on? I think because there are those people
absolutely exist.
Speaker 5 (03:41):
Yeah, we just don't interact with them too much because
you know, and we're gonna ensconced in that world forever.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
I actually think of all the sports that people want
to casually go to and drink, baseball's.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
Number one, okay, because there's so many pauses in between
the action.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
The atmosphere and actually if the weather's nice, and I
just think I just think it's I think it's a
very leisurely sport and so if you're just there for
the environment, you're there to vibe or whatever. I think, Like,
in other words, my daughter after this will probably be like, oh,
baseball is fun.
Speaker 4 (04:14):
I want to do that, right, just because you know
you're sitting in the stands and it's fun. I mean,
all sports are great, but baseball is the one that's more.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
This is this is an event, the first Maverick game
of the year, the first Cowboy game of the year.
Speaker 4 (04:27):
If you're a big fan, it's huge.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
But this is an event for people that don't care
about baseball. They still enjoy Opening Day. No one goes,
no one goes, oh my god, opening Day for football.
I'm gonna go to the game, Okay, but unless they.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
Love football, okay.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
Yeah, And I don't feel that way about the Mavericks either,
or hockey or hockey.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
All right, So that's true. Is the only other one?
Speaker 5 (04:51):
Oh really yeah, Dayton's I mean their Super Bowls, their
first race of the year.
Speaker 4 (04:55):
Right.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
But for the NFL, the fan passion is through the
roof for the whole Yeah, it doesn't ever really get
higher or lower unless you're talking about the playoffs, right.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
Yeah, for baseball, there's ten times as many home baseball
games as NFL games.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Ten times so there's eighty one games.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
So there's eighty one home games and it's just a
brutal marathon, just a marathon. I'll even if they're in
first place, I'll lose interest in mid June and then
circle background trade deadline and then really pick it up again.
In all, like baseball season is so long, you can
engage and leave it at different times of the year,
(05:33):
and it's okay.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
It's a casual, it's a friends with benefit relationship.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Yeah, Honestly to me, and at this point in my life,
I'm a fair weather.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
Of everything except Mavericks because I work on the broadcast.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
Right And I mean to me, it's like, if things
are going well, okay, I'm more interested, you know, and
I'm willing to spend some time.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
Yeah, if they're not doing well, I'm not looking for it.
I'm not checking for it, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
Yeah, there's a million things to engage with in the
world right now. I will say I love going to
a game. I mean, I don't follow hockey closely. I
usually honestly will not follow it until the playoffs. But
I'll go to a hockey game any night and love
it going.
Speaker 4 (06:20):
Oh my god, hockey is so much fun.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
Same thing.
Speaker 4 (06:22):
I don't closely follow FC Dallas but I.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
Love going to games. Oh god, that's fine.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
I think I had more fun going to FC Dallas
than the Stars.
Speaker 4 (06:31):
Yeah, but they let us coach.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
And the reason, I think the reason is and I'm
not I'm I'm I cannot believe I'm not a I'm
not a Stars hater. I just don't know that much
about hockey, right, I just don't know that much about
it because I didn't grow up playing it.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
That's why I really had some doubts during the trade
when you said you were about to give your allegiance
to the Stars.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
I've known you a long time. I really don't see
this happening. It ended up going to the Lakers.
Speaker 4 (06:59):
But you're good, hop on the magic carpet and go
for a ride.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Yeah, like if they're winning or something.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
All Game seven of the Western Conference Finals, he'll he'll pray.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
I think game one of the first round. I went
to a cup match game.
Speaker 4 (07:12):
It's just a game. It's yeah, we don't how to
do it with hockey. It's Canada.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
Yeah, but it was uh mat, Yeah, it was a
match play.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
I love cup match cup match play.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Uh but you know, I just I can't get into
it because the only sports.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
I'm into are ones I played right?

There's some great stuff happening in terms of actual storm
is blowing in. Our tent is about to about to
pick up now. When when the Rangers officials said the
stadium is open today, we all thought it meant we're good.
Speaker 4 (09:16):
Dude.
Speaker 5 (09:16):
There's legit a storm blowing in and it's gonna rain
for the next probably thirty or thirty five minutes.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
There's going to be rain.
Speaker 4 (09:22):
Okay, And so we're seeing like trash cans fly.
Speaker 5 (09:25):
Off the ground because the wind is picked up. There's
a lot of good action. We might see humans get
hit by stuff. It's gonna be crazy.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
The the brand new Funks drums are about to blow
off the stage.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
They need some help holding those speakers down over there.
That's expensive stuff too. Let's get that down.
Speaker 4 (09:40):
Yeah, if you get y'all broadcast, I'll be back. We're
gonna have Christina ready to do.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
Okay, no, don't.
Speaker 4 (09:49):
Commercial.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
All right, we're fine.
Speaker 4 (09:51):
We got a couple of minutes.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
We're good. We now have my body weight holding down
the tent, so we're good. Think's gonna happen. We'll never
move ever again.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
A little bit.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Everyone's safe now.
Speaker 5 (10:01):
A little bit earlier, the welding of a big umbrella
came off and fell and on a table with people.
It was kind of a kind of crazy, but it's like, yeah, look,
if you're me and you're like, you know, look, you're
looking for fun and crazy action, it's good.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
So yeah, gusta wind just came through, high high wind,
and Skin ran over to help the band take the
giant speakers down because they're they're locked, and we've got
folks here helping us. Now hold down our tent that
we're broadcasting under, holding down the Eagle tent. Boy, they
got super windy and stuff's flying around like trash.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
This feels like a mini tornado.
Speaker 5 (10:37):
Yeah, it's just a small storm, but we're in an
area where the winds are gonna circle around like a tornado.
If you look at the weather by the by the
fifteen minute increments right now been fifty five percent chancer
rain at three point thirty, where we are in Arlington
thirty six percent chanceer rain at three forty five and
at twenty four percent chancer rain at four. And then
it's gonna be great.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
It's gonna be fine.
Speaker 5 (10:58):
But it was wild that the Rangers officials last night
we're like, the roof will be closed, and then this
morning you're like, no, the roof's open, thinking we're all
in the clear.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
When we absolutely aren't. And here comes the sprinkles.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
Oh, we have now felt a drop. We are broadcasting outdoors.
I will say I was talking to Evans and he
got the engineer and he was like, oh, gonna move
us inside. I was like, nah, dude, it's gonna be
perfectly dry, and now I'm probably gonna have to buy
all of his equipment for him. And he listened to
a guy that laughs like that, talk about the weather.
Speaker 5 (11:32):
You're feeling wetness, it's because there's some really nice pools
and fountains around us as well, so it might not
even be rain. I think what we should do is
you should do a couple of live spots. Okay, we
should play a couple nice rock songs, and then we'll
reconvene in around three point forty and who knows what's
gonna be going on.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
Okay, that's the fun of library. I've got people's hats
are blowing off. It's crazy. Tyler from Happy Dad is
out here. He's fumbling Happy Dads.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
