Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, So I got a thing that I want
you all to do, and you go to her Tatto Barbecue.
I want you to go in there, and I want
you to say Ben and Skin told me I had
to have the britsk at tostadas, So put it in
my mouth right now and then just see how that
works out. And you can do it at any of
their locations. Right there's a couple inside Globe Life. If
you know going to a Ranger game. There's three in
(00:20):
the eight one seven when you talk about the medical
district of Fort Worth over there kind of in the
near south side area, Mansfield and Arlington. And now they
have the one in the Dallas Farmers Market, which I
love because the bar, I mean, the food is amazing.
But they got this badass bar. Tons of beer on tap.
We love that to have Rollertown beer Works on tap,
which is the brewery. Ben and I are partners, and
we love partnering with her Toato whether it's on the
(00:42):
station or with our beer. The food is delicious, it's undefeated.
It can't be beat. Go check it out for yourself.
But right now it's time for this.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
Now, let's cool around the sports k T fun Queens
has all the sports.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
Ye big bus for the Rangers opening day, first week
of the season, and then usually we have both of
our teams in the playoffs for basketball and hockey, and
then NFL Draft is here and everyone forgets about the
little Rangers until they're the only team in the metroplex playing,
which will be the case and you know, a month
or two hopefully.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
Some guy yelled at me because I was tweeting about
the NBA playoffs. He was like, dude, the Rangers. A.
I was like, yeah, what's there's like one hundred and
forty more of the year. You have your time, You'll
get your you'll get your day in the sun. To
watch the Rangers. You have to cram it on one right.
There's also multiple screens, so you need to tweet more.
Situation with the Rangers is they're a game up in
the AL West first place, and this is the best
(01:41):
weekend of Rangers baseball so far this year. Was the
Dodgers coming in here and winning two games. So Otani
is out on maternity leave Friday and Saturday. And the
tickets if you tried to go on seat Geek and
get last minute tickets to go to the Ranger game.
You couldn't unless you wanted to pay out your ass.
I can't believe he was given birth his wife.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
Oh, he was just taking a day to support her
after what she went through, which is apparently really like
a disgusting fecal situation. So he played Sunday though Saturday
it is as loud as that place I've ever heard
it outside of playoffs, outside of the playoffs, is insane,
(02:23):
and the crowd is trying to help Jock Peterson. He's like, oh,
for god knows what it's getting around on Reddit, Rangers,
Twitter and Facebook account spreading Hey, Saturday during Jock Peterson's
first at bat, We're gonna chant Peter Son. Peter Son,
which I think you should just do. Jock, Jock, Jock,
Jock's better job. So I'm party locked in and I'm
(02:46):
watching and I'm listening, and it just feels like there's
a lot of Dodgers fans in the house. Was not
huge crowd. He could not pick up on a Peterson chant.
So we failed as a fan base. But we've been
going through a lot late. There's a lot of California
transplants here. There is uh, Dolly Scarcia hits a walk
off home run on former Rangers closer Kirby Yates. Rangers
(03:08):
win an amazing it felt like the playoffs. I mean,
this could be World Series preview.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
But it sucks playing them, dude, every guy like you like,
I'm like, oh, they have Tyler Glasgow too, they have
everybody like It's it's an embarrassment of riches.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
It's not good for the league. It's the NL All
Star team.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
It's really tough and you know, but not tell good
enough for them to be a first place in their division.
They're tied with Padres the first place. Really good Padre
this year. The other situation's going with the Rangers though,
so outside they lose one to nothing on Sunday. The
pitching is amazing. They're like second in the RA. They're
top five in every pitching category.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
We can't hit, and we can't hit right now, and
it's a real bummer. Didn't you guys think that there's
no way that would be an issue this year. I
didn't think it would be, so I don't know what's
going on there. It's very strange.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
Tonight they play in a legit minor league ballpark in
sacramentaud against the Oakland A's. This park I think is
ten to fifteen thousand people. There are trees. It looks
like it's just played. Dude. The rough Riders Stadium is
ten times better than the stadium. It's so bad. And
(04:23):
that's just what they're doing because Las Vegas is getting
the A's in a couple of years, so I'm actually
interested to check out the scene tonight.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
It's gonna take a couple of years to get them.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
I think it's twenty twenty seven.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
I think it's twenty twenty, so they'll be in a
minor league park for two more years.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
Yea. Yeah, And they're building the stadium right on the
strip in Vegas and the renderings look incredible.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
But it doesn't even matter because this stadium still holds
about four times as many people as they were drawing
in Oakland.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
They also a basketball stadium also, No, it's not, but
it should be ok and quickly.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
So one of the pitchers he's gonna pitch in the series,
I don't think pitches to night. Patrick Corbyn is his name.
He got bit by a spider before his last start,
showed up up. His foot was swollen. They're like is
he gonna be able to make the start? He is,
like all the swelling went down and he goes out
and throws like seven innings. So he's like Spider Man,
and he's a guy who we got like right at
the end of spring training. Like everyone who pitches is
(05:14):
having success. It's really crazy. And tonight at nine o'clock
on Victory plus plus and Max.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Net, do they punt on Peterson? Do they some boy?
Speaker 1 (05:22):
Do they say this is he's about to get hot?
Speaker 3 (05:24):
You let him snap out of it. You know, he's
been around a little bit. The problem is he's just
kind of huge. Like if people grabbed about Luca being fat,
yeah he didn't. He didn't have to backpedal and get
back on defense. So it's fine, man.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
All right, there you have it. There's a little chatter
about your first place Texas Rangers.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
