Good evening everybody, and welcome to another edition of Fire Up. Are we
fired up? Gentlemen? Yes we are. Oh my goodness, there you
go. That was your dog check exactly why I did it? Yes,
I am fired up as always. Time to talk sports around the world.
Right, let's do this. So my first, my first topic, this
bothers me and I don't know how to how they should solve it. But
last night I was watching hockey, watching the Panthers Bruins game. Now this
game, if you like fights, it was great, but really as many
fights as they had, as many people as they were taking off the ice,
My thing is the game was already That game was awesome. Joshua,
Yeah. My issue with that game is obviously the Panthers were up on the
Bruins. Then there's all these fights and all these guys were taking out ten
minute penalties where they didn't even have ten minutes left in the game. So
my question is in the playoffs, should penalties carry over to the next game,
because I think that might deter some of those I mean some of those
penalties. What do you guys think? I think so, because you know
what candy they carry suspensions over. I mean like For instance, if you're
tossed out of a baseball game, correct me if I'm wrong, when you
go into the next game or something, they'll they'll have you sitting out at
an inning or two or something, or we're gonna give you some kind of
suspension or punishment. I've seen them do that. So if baseball doesn't,
why can't hockey do that? I mean, that's that's that makes a lot
of sense there, It does, because maybe it'll deterar that at the end
of the game and we're fighting and arguing on come on, it's over,
games over, go home, you know what I mean. Okay, now
I'm going to go along a little bit with rocket scientists and Joshua Door here.
You shouldn't carry it over because hockey has always had fighting involved. It
is a major part of the sport. Yes, they frown upon it.
Yes the penalties are longer now, but it's hockey. I'm still waiting to
go to a buy match and have a hockey game breakout, because we know,
darn well you can go to a hockey game and have a boxing match
breakout at any time. All that takes is one bad hit, one bad
move, one bad hook, whatever. Well, vocal in the chat.
How about that? So will Hockey is hockey and fighting will always be a
part of it. When it's time to throw hands, they throw hands.
I understand. I'm just asking the question because last night was fight after fight
after fight, and the game was at that point done they I mean,
the you know, it was just pent up frustration. I'm guessing, well,
it's you're gonna call foul or they're gonna call some kind of you know,
roughing call, whatever it is that they call in hockey. How it
goes. If they're gonna call that at the end and they see there's some
fighting going on, it could I would be in favor of them carrying it
over to the next game as soon as the game starts, put them in
the penalty box. I mean, the Bruins were salty, I mean,
but the same could be said said salty the game before. Yeah, the
Bruins, they were always causing fights. They've done that for years, you
know, So Rocket Sciences, Sorry, Ralph, wrong, That's okay.
Hey, that's why we have this platform so that we can all long before.
But I've been more right than wrong. So there you go. You
know what, at any time, any one of us can be wrong.
Opinions are meant to be different. Opinions are meant to be opinions great.
Sometimes they think it's just like your but look, give us a dog check.
Then all right, you want another one. You got one, and
Panthers didn't get whooped as bad. The score didn't till the true tale of
the first game compared to the second game. Yes, yes, yeah,
Rangers are up on my Carolina Panthers two to one and the fourth or in
the third, you'd be a windspan. I'm sorry. I thought you'd be
a Penguins fan. I am, but I'm also a Carolina fan. I'm
a I love Raleigh. I love Raleigh, North Carolina. It's a beautiful
place. It's a beautiful place. I want to move down here as soon
as you know. I got business up here. I got to keep going
with here. But I got some friends down here. I can get me
moving down there if I need to so. Jerry Lions GM golf extension is
high priority. They're taking it to the next level. Are they going to
get it done or are they not? Here's the thing Brad has said,
it was a priority to try and get a deal done with Gough, But
at the same time, the way he words it is different then with the
way they worded about Golf last off season. If you go back to last
off season, Golf is the man, He's the future of Detroit. Even
though he said it was a high priority, he didn't add that GoF is
the future of Detroit. Those are key words that are missing from all this
statement. Yes, they are trying to get a deal done. They hope
they get a deal done. I mean I read all the words of that
interview, and I paid attention to it very closely because when I'm following my
our lions, it's important that I look at it from both sides of what's
being said. It sounds like he wants to get an extension done, probably
two to three years. The thing is is Goff wants a payday this season.
All of that hinges on whether it really gets the Cam Sutton's contract actually
gets voided or not. And I think with the way that the free agency,
when spending big money, just basically halted after the Ziegler signing, which
was basically the same day that they had to dismiss Cam Sutton. If you've
got twenty million over what you got to spend on your rookies, and there's
guys out there that said they're willing to play less than their actual market value,
like ab and stuff like that, and they haven't made those moves,
and people are making moves all around us, getting stuff and trading for stuff.
There's a reason that's not done because if that's not voided, his twelve
point five million dollar cap hit stays on the roster even though he's off the
team, and there's an additional seven point five million dollars in dead cap hit.
That's a twenty million dollar hit, which means all they have enough for
are prove it players and the rookie contract. So I'm at a catch twenty
two. I think that's what they're waiting on because Golf wants to get Goff's
agent wants him to get a raised this year from the thirty one point five
he makes, even though this is the last year of his contract, and
if that doesn't get voided, we don't have the money to give it to
him. So I think it's all going to hinge on that decision coming from
the NFL. I say, okay, what happened to the hockey talk?
Joshua and I have to go back to where's let's get back to the hockey
tech. That was an excellent question to start the show game. Thank you,
thank you, Thank you, Joshua. I think that calls for a
veg of broccoli. We'll to be honest with you. Rockey is one of
my favorite vegetables. And Desue, you know where I live, so I
expect a bag to be delivered. Thank you, Candy. Yes, So
one of the things I'll go back to, I'll go back to a little
bit of hockey talk because I'm going to talk about when we were we went
up to the draft. After we went to the draft, we went to
Niagara Falls for those of the you know. After that, we went up
to Toronto. When we were in Toronto, we went to the old Maple
Leafs Stadium that was built back in nineteen thirty one. And what was really
cool is they converted that stadium into one of the floors is a grocery store.
The first level, the street level is a grocery store, and there's
actually still Center Ice. They have a mark in one of the aisles that
actually has what was Center Ice, and then the floors above it have become
a college and so Floor two has the basketball court, Floor three, four,
and five are classrooms and stuff like that, and floor six is actually
that they raised the hockey the ice up to that level, kept the still
stadium seating and they have national championships in Toronto all there and they hold that
regularly. I thought that was cool. So yes, I can talk a
little bit of hockey. We know, am I as well versed in hockey
as some of the other sports. No, but hockey talk now? Well,
Rocket Scientists Rangers are up to one. Who's gonna win the series?
Oh? I hope Carolina can. That's all I can say. Rangers have
been pretty tough this season though, Yeah, I'm not I never have.
Rocket scientist has a question for you, Ralph? Oh wait where here it
is? Here? It is question for Ralph? Are you really will question
before? No? I'm not will focus spot now unless there's a chance I
am And I don't know. You have the hockey experts here, Josh and
the guys. It's the Carolina who is not the Panthers, Ralph, So
I said, Hurricanes. There you go. Yeah, So, okay,
I'm going to get something off my chest because this has been this has been
bothering me and I know you guys probably doesn't matter if you want to comment
or not. There is a story coming out of Wellington, Florida. And
if you know anything about Wellington, Florida, it is of a higher rent
district. It's not the Boca Ratona, Florida, but it's up there.
And I am shocked and very very disappointed. Over the weekend there was there
in a community. There is a family of four kids and the parents,
and they have a basketball hoop. You know those basketball hoops that you can
move around it. It's not stationary, you can move it from place to
place so your kids can play well. One of the families had this.
One of the girls was out shooting baskets and unfortunately they moved the basketball hoop
too close to the neighbor and so the ball kept landing in the neighbor's yard.
Dad went over to get the ball. Neighbor comes out, irate,
upset, goes back. They have words, They exchange words. Neighbor goes
back in the house, comes back out with his gun, shoots Dad in
front of the kids. Mom hears the shot from in the house, comes
out, neighbor shoots the mom. So now we have four kids that do
not have any parents. What is this world coming to? I honestly,
a basketball lands in your yard and what you're gonna do is you're gonna take
their lives of these parents. I cannot believe it. It just it is.
I rate. I'm just I rate. I'm really upset about it.
There is a GoFundMe page. I do not know the family per se,
right, but it's just sad that this is what the world has come.
Tom we think we have nobles for people. Do you want to see some
kid? You watch Any's Neighborhood Wars, and you'll see some of what these
neighbors get into in these different times, and you know, it's really sad
because, like here, I'll give you an example. I live in a
public housing building here in Pittsburgh, Okay, and I had two ladies who
were outside last night at four o'clock in the morning, drunk, screaming,
playing music, you know all that stuff. My wife was up all night
because of it. Okay. Now if I go and I talk to them,
they're gonna get ignorant with me. I've tried to talk to some people
and hear about some things. Like one guy had a loud motorcycle and he
gave he threw the F bomb at me and threatened he was he was going
to do botletly harmed to me. I had to call police at a file
report because he threatened me. That's harassment. All I was trying again,
Oh Candy, I've tried this numerous times with everybody everywhere. Let's talk about
it, but nobody wants to do that anymore. So their means of talking
and shooting, and that's what happens. And it's sad, it really is.
I agree with you. That's that sixth story and I you know,
it's really sad to hear that that this is where we are. So Joshua,
you didn't hear about that, but then it looks like you looked it
up and you literally lived ten minutes from that house. It is sad.
That is that's very shad. They're talking about somebody who lives in a town
that out of the last twenty years, they were number one as the murder
rate for capita wow for the last sixteen of the twenty years, and that's
Flint, Michigan. Three of them has been sagging off. One was Detroit
and now the murder rate per capita has jumped so much because of the strict
gun laws. It's Chicago beating us. Now Kalamazoo is up ahead of us
in crime rate because of the methadone problem down there. Our crime rate.
We got shortage of police. They can't get nobody to you know, officer.
We're down two hundred officers. It's it's everywhere though. Really there's not
enough police when you look at the police per capita, because it used to
be for about every fifty to one, which one hundred is a capita,
correct? Is that not what it was? They used to be every hundred
there was two cops for that area. They weren't always in the same car
either, which made it easier for them to patrol those areas. Now you've
got one cop trying to cover for five hundred. That's five capita for one
police in all these major cities. Because it's hard to find cops that want
to do the job and put their lives on the line anymore. That's what's
happened. The old guard of the people that stayed for forty years in the
police force are no more. They stay about ten to twenty years, and
once they get tired of it, they're out, Jeremy. The George Floyd
thing did not help police. That's as simple as that, because now you
know, police a under a microscope too much. You know, you got
too much, too many cell phone cameras out there, you got you know,
there's a camera everywhere. You know, you can't and walk down the
block and there's not a camera. So everybody that there's too many cameras,
to's too much to see everything, and a policeman can't do his job.
So I mean unless a small borrow or something or a small everybody chopped up
those videos to where they just show the bad and they don't show what leads.
They don't show the argument or what happened or what type of attitude that
was coming into that situation. Now employd situation. It is what it is.
It's no different than what happened in Ferguson. And what's crazy is I
was actually a traveling warranty tech person for a technology technological company. I would
go and fix servers, UH satellite internet and everything else. And while on
the news, I go into my hotel room and I'm watching the news.
I just drove into town and they're showing fires and riots everywhere. I could
see my hotel in the background. There's no fire around me, and I'm
trying to figure out where's this fire. So I went and drove around.
I didn't see it. I never saw a fire. I never saw a
news for them to put something on. I still think that it was a
wag the dog thing. Look over here, this is all really bad.
While we do this, and you saw a whole bunch of laws that we
never heard about or got to vote on, that got pushed through. I
will not say the acronym there because I am in all lives matter. We
are all one race, the human race. We all have. There's just
different skin, skin, pigmentations, and ethnic background. That's it. Everybody's
raised differently. And say what you want. The government is the cause of
ninety nine percent of everything. Because as soon as to all the big medias
became owned from left wing and right wing, they've all give misappropriation news about
the other side. But if you actually read both sides of it, you'll
come to a conclusion in the middle, what is the real truth? Correct?
Okay, So I know the guys are talking. They want hockey back.
I want to go to another route. So what do you guys think
about the Indian and a Polis columnist who now won't cover Clerk or the fever
after the awkward exchange that they had in her initial press conference. Have you
guys heard about this? No, I didn't hear about it at all,
all of it. No, I just about how many points she scores every
game. Yes, Well, basically what happened is during the when they introduced
her, one of these writers made the heart shape, like you know,
we all do, but that's a gesture that Clark is known for making her
family members. The exchange that followed was Clark says, you like that.
Doyle says, I like that you're here, and I like that you're here.
Clark says, yeah, I do that for my family after every game.
So it's pretty cool, right. He said, Well, start doing
it to me and we'll get along just fine. WHOA, I'm like what
what? Yeah? Are you kidding me? Like this is something she does
to her family. And now, yes, Joshua Door, we are talking
about this because there is more than just hockey, and we've already talked a
little bit about hockey. So this columnist now supposedly was suspended for two weeks
and he will no longer cover the Indianapolis fever. Wow, that's crazy,
that's nuts. Oh my. You know, media needs to be put in
check every now and then. Yeah, a lot of media, a lot
of writers, a lot of reporters, a lot of talking head done DV
pushed things and push narratives too far. And kudos to her for standing up
for herself. Yes, but what he did is wrong, that's unacceptable.
That would be like me if let's say, at the draft I tried to
get Terry On to answer a question and he didn't answer it. That would
be like me saying, well, I'm not going to cover the Lions anymore.
Mm hmm. It would be the same thing. Yeah, some people
do not have the common sense to get out of their own damn way,
No, I don't. Yeah, we got we got a sports guy here
who has a talk show, like you said, Jeremy, some of them,
and he says some things that are derogatory, and he says things about
people that are just obnoxious, and you know he has an audience because people
like that. Okay, He's like Howard Stern of sports. He's the old
Howard Stern, not the current Howard Stern. The old Howard Stern of sports.
Yeah, exactly. So he just you know, he does what he
does and he's vulgar, and you know he still does it and that's hey,
that's his style. We all have styles. I have a style.
You have a style, Jeremy how you do things. So does Candy and
Scott and everybody else. You know my styles, my style. I tell
it like it is. People don't like it, that's too bad. You
know. I got politicians in this time that won't do won't come on my
podcast because I'm gonna I don't like the fact I asked some tough questions.
So there you go. I got a radio station in this time, it
won't hire me because I ask tough questions and I tell it like it is,
and they want me to just go with the company line, and I'm
not doing it. I'll stay here and do this. Yep. Josh Wador
brings up a good point. In Boston, a journalist called for them to
hurt Chuck in the next game. That's that's no different then when a player
does get hurt in the game, when the other team says, well,
we need to hurt one of theirs the next game, it's no different.
And if a reporter is telling a team to hurt a player on the opposite
team, they're wrong. Absolutely, you're not playing the sport. You're not
being a sportsman. If you want to beat the team, you want to
beat them when they're healthy, because what does it say if you can't beat
them when they're healthy and you're going to take them out? Exactly exactly.
Yeah, that's that's unacceptable too, you know, And Ralph, don't ever
comply bee who you are. That's I don't care politicians in this time I
want to come on my show, I could care less. You know.
That just goes to show that they are they're cowards. They don't like the
fact I asked tough questions. It's too bad. Mm hmm. I'm guessing
how I'll talk about it after the show with you for a second. Okay,
never mind, I don't want to get into that. But yes,
I salute you for standing up for yourself and your beliefs. Yep. Would
Charles Berkley gets there again on t N T Oh yeah, absolutely, But
that's been his attitude his entire life. He's stop. He's not gonna change
who he is, whether it's TV, whether it's on the news, whether
it's in person. He is there again actually, and you know what,
that's why he got to where he's at. They like that opinion. Hey,
he makes more money than we do. Oh yeah, and as long
as people watch it, he's gonna make money. I believe he's watching in
the background somewhere. Well, there you go, absolutely, rocket scientists.
I appreciate you guys being there. You guys help drive the chat. We
love all the chat. It's awesome. It's awesome. Yes, right now,
Rangers Hurricanes did is going into overtime. They are tied to all at
the end of the third so oh man again and Joshua Door is exactly right.
There's a big difference between arrogance and being a piece of crap. Mm
hmm. And Dallas is about to start yep. So, Jeremy, any
any other topics you want to bring up besides your town. There really isn't
a lot going on, But there is something I noticed in the draft,
and I don't know if you noticed this, Candy Day three. You saw
a lot more of these skilled players going that had special teams value, whether
it was tacklers or more returners or stuff like that. Every team picked at
least one in Day three. I think that in response to the new kickoff
rules and how they have to be played, because people needed sure tacklers in
the special teams room than what they needed originally. And I think that's a
huge thing that's gonna be going on. You're gonna see a lot more late
round picks make teams on specialty teams. Yes, absolutely, Oh, here
we go. They're asking for the dog check. They want you to give
the big bark this time, Ralph. Oh, I don't, I don't,
Park, I don't know. I got you here. I will give
them something. Yeah, there we go, give them the hard and then
of course when the right team scores. Oh, you guys are funny,
we are hey. I was always told I was heels. You don't need
to bark, ditch out out dog check. That's it, that's it,
Ralph. They just want you to say, dog check, dog check.
There you go, perfect, dog check. Oh, dog check. The
media guys telling teams to hurt other players. I'm gonna give you a sound
that should be very familiar. It's right at the end of Mario, Uh,
are you all gonna do an NFL Draft team grade show? Mm hmm.
I haven't thought about that, but that's an idea, Andrew. That's
why I'm trying to bring more people like Ralph who covers the Steelers on the
next week's Wednesday show. I'm trying to get a few more fans of other
NFL. I've done him before on his shell. Well, that's what I'm
doing on my show, on my radio show, and I'm going to try
to get it done before the end of June. I'm having somebody come on
from all thirty two teams to talk about different things throughout the year. The
time of day. I would love to be there if I can. Oh,
yeah, I know, I'd ask you. Yeah, I've had George
Ikorn on already. George talked about Detroit Allons when he was on SO and
Joshua. I don't know that Scott would be pissed. Scott wants at school
that I do. In fact, he will gladly tell you that I run
a country club like show and he's more of a drill sergeant and that's what
it is. But that's why the work, you know, General and we're
the private and the corporals that are just we're like we're like Bill Murray and
the other guys on stripes. Oh, yes, that's the fact Jack.
There, we get, that's the fact Jack. In the last hour,
I have just lost my car, my apartment, my job, and my
girlfriend. And then Harold Ramis goes, well, you still have your health,
you know, didn't you pick up a beer and go that's debatable and
drink it. There we go. Okay, okay, guys, it's time
I think for my town. Ralph. Yeah, miss Montgomery, Gentry,
this is my town. But anyway, Yeah, this Saturday, we have
our number one pick from last year, Paul Skeins. He's gonna be pitching.
He makes his debut this Saturday. The Pirates had to basically bring him
up. We need, we need. Our starting rotation has actually been pretty
good. Our bullpen's been letting us down and there's been some hitting issues.
There's a talk about firing some a name you might know, Candy and Andy
Haynes, you know, so they're talking about firing him. And then this
past week, the the Penguins fired assistant coach Todd Reardon. Reardon was in
charge of the power playing the defense, and those were the two areas of
the team that's stunk so they got rid of him. Don't know who they're
going to bring in, don't know what the season is going to look like
yet because Kyle Dubis is kind of keeping it hush hush. Steelers, on
the other hand, had an opportunity to get a two top notch receivers and
they blew it. Laid a big egg Tyler Boyd and Odell Beckham Junior,
and neither one of them they bothered the sign. And then here's the here's
the bottom line of it all. The Steelers are so cheap that the Tennessee
Titans gave him. Gave Tyler Boyd a four point five million dollar contract.
You mean to tell tell me that the Steelers couldn't pay him that? Well,
the Steelers here's what the Steelers said, Oh, well that's uh,
he's not worth second receiver money. He didn't even want second receiver money,
Okay. And then now they're saying that the Steelers were getting gouged for eight
million dollars. Why did he take five with Tennessee? Was he desperate?
Why didn't he do that with the Steelers and stay home? I passed his
house all the time when I go to my sister's place. Okay, So
thanks Steelers for not bringing in the top notch receiver and going with Roman Wilson
from Michigan. That's about where we're going to be with a second wide receiver.
So but I hear Omar Kahn has a big trade coming up, so
we'll see what happens there as well, and that's my that's my time,
though. I'm sorry, Jeremy may get trade Burke so from the Titan since
he's on the trade block. Yeah, yeah, we'll see what happens.
Nomar CON's up to something. So somebody ask me on the Lion's Chat,
would I be willing to trade for Trey Burkes. He's a failed first round
pick at this point. If you look at his drop rate, it's very
similar to what Eric Ebron had right which at a thirty drop rate, I'm
not interested in. You can't be a tall, contested catch guy that can't
catch exactly sac So I would say if it was a seventh rounder and you
get to give him a prove it deal on his last year of his rookie
contract and don't accept the fifth year, I'd be good with it. That's
about it. Johnson to Carolina for a six round pick. But so that
guy that sixth round pick too, I saw that. Yeah, we did,
yes. But at the same time in Detroit, let's talk about the
Tigers right now and how everybody's complaining because they have a two to sixteen batting
average right now, but they're winning games late. The problem is they don't
get their batting going early in the games. They're not putting up any Crookeet
numbers before the fourth inning. They're not getting any of those until the fifth
through ninth innings. But league wide, the batting average across the league is
two thirty. So if you think about that, they're actually a middling team
batting average wise. The highest team, of course, is the Dodgers,
because they got show Aatani who's batting over three hundred and raising the team batting
average over to eighty until they hit the playoffs exactly, you know, but
where until show Aatani blows out his UCL again and then he's yeah, because
I know they're not using him throwing, and that's probably good to heal that,
but he's still batting, and you use some of those same muscles that
are attached to those ligaments, and it has to be doing a strain on
his reab because he is leading the league in the home runs right now.
So with the Tigers, I think they need to send Spencer torkleson former number
one pick who hasn't hit a single home run when he hit thirty one last
year, down to Triple A to work with the hitting coach again because evidently
the hitting coach that that Detroit isn't doing jack at least lot. Okay,
Joshua, I'm glad you're still staying up, even though it's only because of
the overtime. We appreciate that. RXJ, thank you. I appreciate you
saying you like the way I run the show. Ralph, they have a
question for you. What was for dinner tonight? I had two chicken raps
from Arby's because my wife and I were on the way home from my doctor's
appointment that was late and I didn't feel like cooking when I got home,
so I had two chicken raps from Arby's. I don't eat as much as
I used to because I'm trying to get my weight down. I need several
surgeries and Joshua, no, Scott did not get KFCs. I am trying
to get him his numbers better and get us more on a healthier track.
So we kind of went Atkins style. We went hammer room meet with cheese
and some taco seasoning and he had I think he had a rice Crispy bar
for a treat at the end. But no, KFC, you're trying to
we're both trying to shave off a couple of pounds. Oh there you go,
Thank you go, Ralph. So as for my town, Joshua and
all the guys that wanted hockey talk, I'm actually gonna talk hockey and it's
not the Florida Panthers. I'm going to talk about the Milwaukee Admirals and can
anybody in the chat room tell me who they're what team they're affiliated with.
But while I'm talking about that, they are actually in there. They won
a must win game last night, taking down the Texas Stars in Game three
to force a Game four of the Central Division Semifinals. In that game,
there were eleven penalties called, including a game misconduct and major on the Admirals.
In total, fifty three penalty minutes were assessed for both teams. You're
not familiar with them, but interested, Joshua. They happened to be Nashville
Predators a team affiliates. So they used to be the Chicago Blackhawks and then
they were also they were affiliated with another team, but they for years now.
They have been associated with the Nashville Creditors since nineteen ninety eight. AHL,
yep, the that's the American Hockey League, correct if I remember right?
The h L is the one that covers uh that western side Quebec windsor
Toronto area in Michigan. Yes, our h L team is Wilkesbury Scranton Penguins
and they're playing for the Calder Cup. That's called ah A a h L,
and they're in the semi finals at this point. And we have close
to me in the OAATEL that would be the second off spirit in the Flint
Firebirds. So they played tomorrow night and they played in Milwaukee last night.
So who is still in Let's see, well, I can tell you Texas
is playing the Admirals. I'm not sure I know who else is in it.
Let's see, they're playing the Texas Stars and the other team blah blah
blah blah, bayh doesn't mention it HL playoffs Panthers. Let's seem. Then
there's the I don't know if they're in it. There's the Coachella Valley Firebirds.
That's the newest team to the AHL. The oldest team is the Bears
out of Rock, which was formerly the Rochester Americans. OT one has started.
Okay, well, you can do more on the American Hockey League twenty
twenty four Calder Cup playoffs. I do know the Admirals won it all in
twenty two thousand and four, I believe was the last time. There's one
in Hershey, Pennsylvania, Chicago, Providence, Grand Rapids, Lake Eery,
San Antonio, Houston, Charlotte, Toronto, Rochester, New York, Saint
John's, Wilt Spurrow, Scranton. Right, that's the one for the Penguins,
yep. Manchester, Milwaukee, Norfolk, Syracuse, Hamilton, Bridgeport,
Texas, Peoria, Rockford, Connecticut, Portland, Worcester. How are you
saying, I don't know, I hate that word. But at Arondack,
Springfield, Albany, Habbitsford, Binghamton, Oklahoma City. In Toronto, i've
seen two called the Marleys yep. I have mentioned Toronto, Okay, and
then the Cleveland Monsters. I believe that's the Wilt Spurre Scranton because that is
a suburb of the Cleveland one. It just says the cities where they're at.
Yeah, Wilkesburg, PA, that's supper by Williamsport. That's where Joe
Biden is from Cleveland here, that's weird, So, Joshua, I've been
to many many Milwaukee Admirals games. In fact, one of my good friends
had season tickets for years, so the Admirals have always been a favorite of
mine since we didn't have an actual NHL Rangers one in overtime? Come on,
man, really, yep? Does that put the Canes down? Like
two? Oh? Yeah? We need yeah? So, yeah, exactly,
we need the can The Penguins need the Canes to win because if they
win and go to the Stanley Cup, then what will happen is is the
Penguins will get their number one draft pick back if they don't. San Jose
gets it down. Now, nobody, I think only one team in the
last what fifteen years came down from three to zero. Yeah, it's the
Penguins. Penguins did a couple of times and Stanley Cup playoffs, right,
and the other time it wasn't it versus a New Jersey Yes, yes,

We will not have a shown next week. Scott and I are headed
to Detroit and we fly back on Thursday, so we will be on a
plane I think about this time. So everybody, good night. I'm sorry,
quick trip. Yep, we're actually we're gonna hopefully see the Miami Marlins
are coming up to Detroit, and so we figured we'd cover them up there
and kind of see another ballpark. When we were up in Toronto, we
actually got to see the Kansas City Royals play the Toronto Blue Jays, So
we kind of like taking in different ballparks and not that we haven't Bendico America,
but it's a chance to see family too, so it is Yes,
okay. I was just making sure it's renovated though, so it's a little
different now. It doesn't have a roof now, yes, okay, because
that's what they did, was they removed the old dome and put in one
of those retractables, wasn't it so they can actually get sunlight during the day
games. And I will say it was the first time I've ever been in
a ballpark where the writers and the press box is actually in the outfield.
Wow, TV and radio are right behind home plate. But because they wanted
more Let's face it, baseball is a business and they're not making money by
the writers, so they put the writers out in the outfield and they put
more boxes in behind home plate so they can get more money. It's money
driven, let's face it. Okay, guys, but this has been fun.
We will see you in two weeks, be back to you. Thanks
you too, good night, everybody.
