The 60 00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:11,160 Speaker 1: family and I we were in Kansas City, Missouri, Casemo 61 00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:17,479 Speaker 1: watching our San Diego Padres take on the Kansas City Royals. 62 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:20,520 Speaker 1: We won the series. First of all, just spoiler alert, 63 00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:23,919 Speaker 1: Padres won. In case you you know, DVR the game 64 00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:30,320 Speaker 1: and we still say DVR or what we Johnny is DVR. 65 00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:33,760 Speaker 1: Remember when I was growing up, it was you know, 66 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:39,760 Speaker 1: you recorded on VHS tapes, and then it became TVO. 67 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,320 Speaker 1: You know, everybody was using TVO. That was the first 68 00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:45,279 Speaker 1: way you could record digitally. I never had a TVO, 69 00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:49,960 Speaker 1: but then we would start. We would record them on 70 00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:55,279 Speaker 1: our like direct TV, DVR or Cox cable whatever, you 71 00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:59,520 Speaker 1: record them digitally that way. That was awesome. I don't 72 00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:01,880 Speaker 1: know if we still call it that now on YouTube 73 00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:07,560 Speaker 1: TV we throw it on the in the library. So anyway, 74 00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:10,200 Speaker 1: in case you threw the game in the library and 75 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:14,280 Speaker 1: you're getting got up on last weekend's games, the Padres 76 00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:16,559 Speaker 1: took the series, and we took two of three. In fact, 77 00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:20,640 Speaker 1: we were three outs away from two outs away from 78 00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:25,440 Speaker 1: winning the series, the sweep, from getting the sweep. But yeah, 79 00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:28,200 Speaker 1: you can't win them on But it was a good time. 80 00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:32,839 Speaker 1: It was hot Missouri in this time of year apparently 81 00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:38,039 Speaker 1: pretty freaking hot. I'm used to going to Missouri, you know, 82 00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:42,720 Speaker 1: like in the winter to watch Charger games and when 83 00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:45,640 Speaker 1: they play the Chiefs, and it's usually it's pretty freaking cold. 84 00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:48,080 Speaker 1: You know. We've had some cold ones, like a negative. 85 00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:51,600 Speaker 1: We have had those zero tempt games where you're just 86 00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:53,400 Speaker 1: you're out there, you're bundled up, but you still got 87 00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:56,080 Speaker 1: a beer in your hand, you're still tailgating because you know, 88 00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:01,880 Speaker 1: the grind never stops.

Yeah, sixty k that's 137 00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:18,600 Speaker 1: new kitchen money. Good for you, dude. So then I'm 138 00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:25,120 Speaker 1: walking through the concourse area and that's where this you know, 139 00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:29,720 Speaker 1: you see some special I saw I saw a legitifist 140 00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:32,160 Speaker 1: fight bouts go down. It was at the very end 141 00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:35,280 Speaker 1: of the Friday game. The Padres were just taking to 142 00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:37,840 Speaker 1: two of the Royals. I mean, we had like eleven 143 00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:41,560 Speaker 1: straight hits or something in the eighth inning, I mean, 144 00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:44,280 Speaker 1: or ninth, seventh inning, whatever it was. We just took 145 00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:49,199 Speaker 1: it to him. And at this point we were up 146 00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:51,080 Speaker 1: by quite a bit. It was like eleven, this is 147 00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:54,920 Speaker 1: the three or something like that, and there's this big 148 00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:57,240 Speaker 1: I mean, he's a big Padres fan. And I'm not 149 00:09:57,320 --> 00:09:59,680 Speaker 1: saying he was a big Pots fan. That his fandom 150 00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:01,240 Speaker 1: like he's It's not like he was all decked out 151 00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:05,520 Speaker 1: and you knew this is like the biggest fan you've 152 00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:09,280 Speaker 1: ever seen. No, Like, physically, he was big in stature, 153 00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:13,760 Speaker 1: very tall, lots of muscle obviously, lots of booze in him, 154 00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:17,440 Speaker 1: and he was ready to take it to this shorter 155 00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:23,400 Speaker 1: Royals fan. No clue, no clue what the fight was about. 156 00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:29,480 Speaker 1: But the Royals fan's girlfriend she made the right call 157 00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:32,560 Speaker 1: by getting in between getting the Royals fan out of there, 158 00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:36,360 Speaker 1: because it was about to get messy. And all I 159 00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:40,200 Speaker 1: was trying to do was, you know, say hi to Grant. 160 00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:42,280 Speaker 1: You know Grant, he's been on the show a few times. 161 00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:46,400 Speaker 1: Grant Pearson. He was at the game and I was 162 00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:49,120 Speaker 1: just saying hi, seeing what's up. He was there with 163 00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:54,080 Speaker 1: his son Dez. But we gotta fight about to unload 164 00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:57,480 Speaker 1: right behind us, but luckily it didn't happen. In hindsight, 165 00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:00,960 Speaker 1: I'm like, maybe I should have jumped in and got 166 00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:03,800 Speaker 1: you know, and tried to get the Padres fan to 167 00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:06,280 Speaker 1: just be like, dude, you're gonna just kill this guy. 168 00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:08,959 Speaker 1: It's not worth it, Like, just let it go. Let 169 00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:12,240 Speaker 1: it go. Padres are winning. Ultimately, that's what matters here, 170 00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:16,240 Speaker 1: you know, get his mind right. But instead I was 171 00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:17,960 Speaker 1: just kind of watching out of the court of my eyes. 172 00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:20,240 Speaker 1: I was talking to Grant because if anything went down, 173 00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:22,280 Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to film it, right, somebody has to 174 00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:25,439 Speaker 1: be there with their phone to film the fight at 175 00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:29,240 Speaker 1: the game, and I felt like that was my duty 176 00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:31,800 Speaker 1: at that moment. But that's not even the story here. 177 00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:34,200 Speaker 1: With the story that I'm trying to tell is I'm 178 00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:38,960 Speaker 1: in the concourse area and as I'm walking back, you know, 179 00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:41,440 Speaker 1: in between innings, they have all the fun games on 180 00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:45,400 Speaker 1: the video board, and this one was the Hidden Ball Game. 181 00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:50,120 Speaker 1: I'm walking this guy. He's with his uh what I 182 00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:53,000 Speaker 1: would assume to be a girlfriend. He stops her and 183 00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:57,080 Speaker 1: he goes, look, look, look, look, it was for the 184 00:11:57,160 --> 00:12:03,000 Speaker 1: Hidden Ball game. So any of the folks who operate 185 00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:09,880 Speaker 1: you know the in game activities. If you're listening, it 186 00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:14,280 Speaker 1: works like people are into it. So I mean enough 187 00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:18,560 Speaker 1: to stop in your tracks and look up to see 188 00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:23,320 Speaker 1: if the ball is in the hat that you pick. 189 00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:26,360 Speaker 1: I don't know. I thought that was hilarious that he 190 00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:30,360 Speaker 1: stopped it. It's not like, oh, look, Bobby Wood Junior's 191 00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:32,240 Speaker 1: coming up and we're about to get a rally going 192 00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:39,720 Speaker 1: against these podres.

You know, I was one 250 00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:27,800 Speaker 1: of four rooting for the Padres and then they're just 251 00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:29,760 Speaker 1: all kinds of Padres fans And you could go to 252 00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:33,600 Speaker 1: any stadium in the country and you're gonna find away fans. 253 00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:39,240 Speaker 1: Why don't they have merch? Why why doesn't the away 254 00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:42,440 Speaker 1: team get to go and bring like a like a 255 00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:48,360 Speaker 1: kiosk of merch and when it's out, it's out. It's 256 00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:51,040 Speaker 1: a way to sell more merch. I mean I would 257 00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:55,200 Speaker 1: have unloaded on that thing. What's a guy got to 258 00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:56,480 Speaker 1: do to be able to go to k C MO 259 00:16:57,120 --> 00:17:02,760 Speaker 1: and get a San Diego Padres hat? You know, sounds 260 00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:10,520 Speaker 1: like there's an opportunity to make some money. But just say, well, 261 00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:14,240 Speaker 1: while we're talking about merch, another merch idea that I 262 00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:18,359 Speaker 1: had is like sports teams. And maybe it's not so 263 00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:22,000 Speaker 1: much baseball because there's so many games, and probably the 264 00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:25,359 Speaker 1: same with basketball there's just so many games. But football, 265 00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:28,679 Speaker 1: why don't you have like a you know, like this 266 00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:32,720 Speaker 1: coming season, like the twenty four or twenty five season 267 00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:35,800 Speaker 1: and it looks like a band T shirt, like a 268 00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:39,240 Speaker 1: tour T shirt, and then on the back you list 269 00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:42,600 Speaker 1: the scheduler, you list the dates, like make it look 270 00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:47,320 Speaker 1: like a band's tour T shirt. That would be awesome. 271 00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:52,359 Speaker 1: I would totally be in for something like that. I 272 00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:58,320 Speaker 1: feel like putting the schedule on merch in professional sports 273 00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:01,320 Speaker 1: is kind of an outdated but they made it so lame. 274 00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:05,800 Speaker 1: It looked too professional before, and really anymore, you only 275 00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:10,800 Speaker 1: see the schedule on merch in like college and high school, 276 00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:18,080 Speaker 1: and it's not even necessarily the official teams like pumping 277 00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:23,480 Speaker 1: those out. It's like realtors and you know the air 278 00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:27,639 Speaker 1: air and heat folks that come and service your air 279 00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:30,439 Speaker 1: conditioner and your heater, Like they send you magnets and 280 00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:33,600 Speaker 1: it's got the schedule on it. Maybe they have a 281 00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:37,440 Speaker 1: koozy and it's got the schedule on it and then 282 00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:40,040 Speaker 1: you know their business logo on it. Those are great. 283 00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:42,320 Speaker 1: I'm not saying don't do that. I understand there's an 284 00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:45,760 Speaker 1: opportunity for some sweet T shirts that look like a 285 00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:48,600 Speaker 1: like a band T shirt. You know, I think we 286 00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:53,879 Speaker 1: can learn from the music industry in this regard. Just 287 00:18:53,920 --> 00:19:00,320 Speaker 1: saying there's an opportunity to make some money. Here siest 288 00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:06,080 Speaker 1: thing that I came away with from the trip in 289 00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:09,600 Speaker 1: Kansas City, and it wasn't you know that the Padres 290 00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:11,840 Speaker 1: are probably a team that is gonna make a hell 291 00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:13,280 Speaker 1: of a run this year. You heard it here first 292 00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:15,680 Speaker 1: on Laugh with Me, And I know you come here 293 00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:21,520 Speaker 1: for all your breaking sports takes. I know you do, 294 00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:26,560 Speaker 1: and I've got them in my head and you generally 295 00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:29,480 Speaker 1: don't get to hear those unless you listen to WTL 296 00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:32,199 Speaker 1: because when I guessed on that show, I give you 297 00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:37,639 Speaker 1: my takes, I give you predictions. I'm gonna give you 298 00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:40,959 Speaker 1: one right now. The Padres are a team that is 299 00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:44,560 Speaker 1: gonna get hot and make a run in the playoffs. 300 00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:47,920 Speaker 1: This team is built for the playoffs, plays amazing defense, 301 00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:53,399 Speaker 1: timely hitting goes base to base, generates runs, Guys that 302 00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:56,240 Speaker 1: hit for average, guys that can slug too as well 303 00:19:56,240 --> 00:20:01,400 Speaker 1: in those clutch situations. We have the closer in baseball, 304 00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:04,400 Speaker 1: we have a rotation that in a short series you're 305 00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:08,800 Speaker 1: not gonna want to mess with. You're not gonna want 306 00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:10,960 Speaker 1: to mess with. And we have a bullpen that's probably 307 00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:17,679 Speaker 1: one guy away from becoming becoming pretty locked down. And 308 00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:20,760 Speaker 1: we have a manager who's willing to make moves at 309 00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:24,280 Speaker 1: any point in any game in order to win, doesn't 310 00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:31,679 Speaker 1: give games away. I love that. I love that about Shultz. Anyway, 311 00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:33,639 Speaker 1: the padres, they're gonna make it run. But that's not 312 00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:39,919 Speaker 1: what That's why you're off track here, Johnny. It's like 313 00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:44,119 Speaker 1: those late episodes in season one where Johnny is going, 314 00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:50,480 Speaker 1: he's keep me reeled in here. They did the wave 315 00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:53,760 Speaker 1: at the game, you know, where the fans they stand 316 00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:56,320 Speaker 1: up and it goes around the stadium. I don't know 317 00:20:56,800 --> 00:20:59,080 Speaker 1: your opinions on the wave, you know, for those of 318 00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:03,959 Speaker 1: you that are listening, but the waves gotta be the 319 00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:08,879 Speaker 1: dumbest thing happening right now in baseball. Not the rule 320 00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:12,320 Speaker 1: with the guy that starts on second in extra innings, 321 00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:20,240 Speaker 1: not the pitch clock, not the limited mound visits, not 322 00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:26,720 Speaker 1: the rushed games which are causing you know, potential injury. No, 323 00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:33,600 Speaker 1: it's the wave. And it's not even the disruption of 324 00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:35,800 Speaker 1: you know, people standing in front of you or whatever. 325 00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:38,120 Speaker 1: I don't care about that that happens throughout the game. 326 00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:40,440 Speaker 1: No matter what people are coming up, they're going. I mean, 327 00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:43,280 Speaker 1: if that was a thing, you know, they wouldn't allow it. 328 00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:46,480 Speaker 1: You know, they wouldn't allow you to stand up during action, 329 00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:50,919 Speaker 1: you wait in between action, but they allowed it. Is 330 00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:55,440 Speaker 1: it's part of the deal. Whatever I'm not, I don't care. 331 00:21:55,520 --> 00:22:00,240 Speaker 1: I don't have an opinion on that. What I care 332 00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:07,080 Speaker 1: about is that the fans who have paid whatever amount 333 00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:09,080 Speaker 1: of money they've paid to go to these games, some 334 00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:12,560 Speaker 1: a lot, some free. We as a fan have decided 335 00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:17,880 Speaker 1: that we are going to become the show. We're gonna 336 00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:22,920 Speaker 1: become the show. It's distracting to the players. It has 337 00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:25,240 Speaker 1: nothing to do with cheering on the fans. In fact, 338 00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:28,760 Speaker 1: the wave is one of the few times in the 339 00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:31,119 Speaker 1: game in which the fans of the home team and 340 00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:37,480 Speaker 1: the away team come together to do something. And it's silly. 341 00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:41,160 Speaker 1: I totally understand coming together at the beginning of the game, 342 00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:45,200 Speaker 1: the national anthem. You know that, that's that's that's baseball. 343 00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:52,400 Speaker 1: That's baseball. So that's good. I like that. We can 344 00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:55,240 Speaker 1: we can stick with that. Everybody comes together for that. 345 00:22:56,520 --> 00:23:02,000 Speaker 1: Everybody comes together for the seventh inning stretch. That's because 346 00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:07,480 Speaker 1: it's baseball. The seventh inning stretch is important to what 347 00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:10,560 Speaker 1: we're doing here. We're coming to the game, we're getting up, 348 00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:13,800 Speaker 1: we're stretching, and we are gearing up for what's going 349 00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:18,480 Speaker 1: to be the most pivotal part of this game, which 350 00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:26,280 Speaker 1: is the final couple of innings. Fans also come together, 351 00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:30,720 Speaker 1: you know, when they do the in between innings celebration 352 00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:36,520 Speaker 1: of a soldier somebody who has represented our country in 353 00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:40,280 Speaker 1: the military. That's a beautiful thing. I thought it was 354 00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:43,560 Speaker 1: so cool how every game we went to this weekend, 355 00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:47,080 Speaker 1: the Royals they had a you know, a picked fan 356 00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:50,520 Speaker 1: that they were going to showcase and give their kind 357 00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:53,680 Speaker 1: of bio and give them their moment, you know, And 358 00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:55,520 Speaker 1: they showed them up on the on the big ass 359 00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:58,840 Speaker 1: video board, and everybody stands up and cheers them, and 360 00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:00,800 Speaker 1: it's really cool and you can tell that it matters 361 00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:02,479 Speaker 1: to them, and it really it should matter to us 362 00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:05,040 Speaker 1: that we get to show our appreciation to them. I 363 00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:09,800 Speaker 1: thought that was awesome. Both teams fans will come together 364 00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:14,000 Speaker 1: for that, as we should. But the wave, the wave 365 00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:16,480 Speaker 1: has no purpose in all of this. This is everybody 366 00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:20,560 Speaker 1: coming together to show the players that whatever you're doing 367 00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:23,880 Speaker 1: on the field right now doesn't really matter. Even though 368 00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:28,400 Speaker 1: it's in game action happening. What we're doing is important. 369 00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:30,439 Speaker 1: We're gonna pay attention to where it's going around the 370 00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:32,720 Speaker 1: stadium and then we're gonna stand up and put arms 371 00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:38,000 Speaker 1: and whoa when it comes to us and it's just 372 00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:43,960 Speaker 1: not necessary. I'm telling my son Braden, I'm like, this 373 00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:46,480 Speaker 1: is terrell. I didn't stand up. I will not participate 374 00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:48,440 Speaker 1: in the wave anymore. And I don't know if I'm 375 00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:52,680 Speaker 1: old guy, you know, just shaking my fist at the 376 00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:57,600 Speaker 1: sky type of thing, shout out eric, but like, I 377 00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:01,040 Speaker 1: just feel, let's pay attention to the game. That's why 378 00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:04,520 Speaker 1: we're here today, right, That's why we're at the game. 379 00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:07,560 Speaker 1: And I'm a guy who when I was younger, I've 380 00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:12,400 Speaker 1: started waves. Okay, I am a guy and these stories 381 00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:19,120 Speaker 1: are for another time. But old school Rosenblat Stadium Cultural Series, Omaha, Nebraska. 382 00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:24,560 Speaker 1: I was in the left field GA seats starting waves. 383 00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:29,520 Speaker 1: That was younger me. You know you do goofy shit 384 00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:32,080 Speaker 1: when you're younger. That's one of the things I was doing. 385 00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:38,119 Speaker 1: I was starting waves at baseball games. We're not proud 386 00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:42,280 Speaker 1: of it. Okay, I'm not proud of that's who I was, 387 00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:46,600 Speaker 1: But I am proud that I've grown up and can 388 00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:51,080 Speaker 1: finally say, you know, the wa the way is wrong 389 00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:56,359 Speaker 1: and the wave needs to go in baseball. You want 390 00:25:56,359 --> 00:26:01,840 Speaker 1: another hot take that wave they do in Iowa City 391 00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:07,080 Speaker 1: during the Hotkeys games. What is it at the end 392 00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:09,000 Speaker 1: of the third quarter, start at the fourth quarter or 393 00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:10,840 Speaker 1: something like that. Were they waving out the kids at 394 00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:16,080 Speaker 1: the hospital. I don't like it. I still can't get 395 00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:20,160 Speaker 1: over that guy walking on the concourse and he's looking 396 00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:22,959 Speaker 1: up at the TV monitor. He said, hold on, look 397 00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:27,560 Speaker 1: at this, Look at this. It's a stupid hitting ball. 398 00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:31,399 Speaker 1: Maybe he's got money on it, you know, you never know, 399 00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:34,680 Speaker 1: like maybe he's got some bets, he's got some money, 400 00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:37,040 Speaker 1: he's got some skin in the game, and it is important. 401 00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:41,120 Speaker 1: He needs to check out what's going on. You never know. 402 00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:44,240 Speaker 1: You just never know what people have going on in 403 00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:50,680 Speaker 1: their brains. But that's awesome. And maybe maybe a brand 404 00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:53,280 Speaker 1: new sixty thousand dollars kitchen was online and this guy 405 00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:58,760 Speaker 1: had to make sure that he picked the right hat. 406 00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:02,560 Speaker 1: I did. I picked hat one. I was following the 407 00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:05,960 Speaker 1: ball the whole time, and it's so difficult, and I 408 00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:10,240 Speaker 1: don't I don't know. I'm not I'm not a scientist, 409 00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:13,760 Speaker 1: so I don't know if you can actually track the 410 00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:17,240 Speaker 1: ball under the hat the whole time or if at 411 00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:19,960 Speaker 1: some point it goes out of sight and then it's 412 00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:22,680 Speaker 1: just you know, a randomizer and then somebody's just hitting 413 00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:27,320 Speaker 1: at three, you know, for that week. But I got 414 00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:30,760 Speaker 1: it right, so I like to think you can see it. 415 00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:34,360 Speaker 1: Because I was following. My eyes were just diving all 416 00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:37,680 Speaker 1: over the place, and yeah, got it right. I don't 417 00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:43,159 Speaker 1: just just built differently.
