<v Speaker 2>the cases coming down the pipe for you guys are

37
00:02:13.560 --> 00:02:16.000
<v Speaker 2>pretty intense. We go to wide variety coming at you.

38
00:02:16.199 --> 00:02:17.479
<v Speaker 3>There is actually a wide variety.

39
00:02:17.599 --> 00:02:20.479
<v Speaker 2>We had Robert the Doll yesterday. So we're moving from

40
00:02:20.520 --> 00:02:24.400
<v Speaker 2>paranormal to not so paranormal today, a little more murderous

41
00:02:24.400 --> 00:02:27.120
<v Speaker 2>and skevious today, which is good.

42
00:02:27.400 --> 00:02:31.080
<v Speaker 3>Tell me more, tell me more, tell me more. Not

43
00:02:31.280 --> 00:02:36.039
<v Speaker 3>does he have a car? No, be careful what you

44
00:02:36.120 --> 00:02:37.599
<v Speaker 3>might ruin that song for someone.

45
00:02:37.919 --> 00:02:39.159
<v Speaker 2>Probably just did.

46
00:02:40.680 --> 00:02:41.560
<v Speaker 3>Good to keep it up.

47
00:02:42.919 --> 00:02:49.599
<v Speaker 2>Make a nasty review. Yeah, short story. Someone was yeah, yeah,

48
00:02:49.759 --> 00:02:52.560
<v Speaker 2>that's it. That's someone was mean and was like, oh

00:02:52.560 --> 00:02:53.719
<v Speaker 2>my god, you just ruined that thing.

50
00:02:53.759 --> 00:02:55.800
<v Speaker 3>I can't even remember. It was something that we sang,

51
00:02:55.840 --> 00:02:58.000
<v Speaker 3>and apparently we've ruined that song for that.

52
00:02:58.120 --> 00:03:01.039
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, we upset someone, We don't We don't really care.

53
00:03:01.039 --> 00:03:03.000
<v Speaker 2>We're not gonna apologize for being ourselves.

54
00:03:03.360 --> 00:03:06.080
<v Speaker 3>That's true, but yourself. Don't apologize for being yourself.

55
00:03:06.120 --> 00:03:09.080
<v Speaker 2>Be yourself and be wicked and grim.

56
00:03:09.120 --> 00:03:11.479
<v Speaker 3>There you go, boom boom.

57
00:03:11.599 --> 00:03:14.560
<v Speaker 2>Okay, you ready to talk about this totally? You got

58
00:03:14.560 --> 00:03:15.319
<v Speaker 2>the candy ready?

59
00:03:15.960 --> 00:03:17.840
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, except then I can't really eat it while I'm like,

60
00:03:18.599 --> 00:03:21.120
<v Speaker 3>that's fair, you know, podcasting, that's fair. So it's just

61
00:03:21.159 --> 00:03:23.280
<v Speaker 3>taunting me. But it'll be there when we're done.

62
00:03:23.520 --> 00:03:25.520
<v Speaker 2>We're gonna eat it all and then buy more, because

63
00:03:25.520 --> 00:03:25.919
<v Speaker 2>that's what you do.

64
00:03:26.560 --> 00:03:28.439
<v Speaker 3>I think we've already replaced her halling we can hand

65
00:03:28.479 --> 00:03:31.319
<v Speaker 3>me like three times, which is not the best.

66
00:03:31.800 --> 00:03:33.639
<v Speaker 2>We've replaced it twice.

67
00:03:34.039 --> 00:03:35.759
<v Speaker 3>I think we've boughten three batches of.

68
00:03:35.919 --> 00:03:38.879
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but that's replaced twice. It's not replaced three times.

69
00:03:38.919 --> 00:03:42.680
<v Speaker 3>Okay, whatever, we've boughten three batches three times. Yes, don't

70
00:03:42.680 --> 00:03:46.520
<v Speaker 3>feel bad because you know worth it totally.

71
00:03:46.639 --> 00:03:50.560
<v Speaker 2>Okay, you're ready for this, I'm ready. You're sure, So

72
00:03:50.639 --> 00:03:52.960
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure. Okay, So I'm not even going to tell

73
00:03:52.960 --> 00:03:54.560
<v Speaker 2>you what it is yet. I'm just going to dive

74
00:03:54.599 --> 00:03:56.039
<v Speaker 2>in and start with the story.

75
00:03:56.159 --> 00:03:57.400
<v Speaker 3>Oh, the suspense.

76
00:03:57.639 --> 00:04:03.400
<v Speaker 2>Okay, so picture this. It's July eighteenth, nineteen eleven, and

77
00:04:03.479 --> 00:04:07.400
<v Speaker 2>my computer just went to sleep. I had to move

78
00:04:07.439 --> 00:04:11.919
<v Speaker 2>the mouse. No, butny went to sleep on me because

79
00:04:12.000 --> 00:04:14.800
<v Speaker 2>I was not doing things. Okay, so let me do

80
00:04:14.840 --> 00:04:17.639
<v Speaker 2>it again. You ready, Yeah, Okay, second time. It's starm

81
00:04:17.959 --> 00:04:22.839
<v Speaker 2>It's July eighteenth, nineteen eleven, and a baseball pitcher stands

82
00:04:22.879 --> 00:04:25.279
<v Speaker 2>on a pitching mound in the middle of a ball diamond,

83
00:04:26.240 --> 00:04:30.600
<v Speaker 2>sweat beating on his forehead, and his nerves build and

84
00:04:30.639 --> 00:04:33.000
<v Speaker 2>it gets the best of him, but he shrugs him

85
00:04:33.000 --> 00:04:37.040
<v Speaker 2>off the best he can. He stares down the batter,

86
00:04:37.319 --> 00:04:41.399
<v Speaker 2>He winds up the pitch and throws it towards the batter.

87
00:04:42.319 --> 00:04:45.759
<v Speaker 2>The ball hurls towards him, but it veers off and

88
00:04:45.879 --> 00:04:48.639
<v Speaker 2>hits the batter in the shoulder. He gets a free base.

89
00:04:49.439 --> 00:04:51.480
<v Speaker 2>The pain from the hit is nothing compared to the

90
00:04:51.519 --> 00:04:55.360
<v Speaker 2>excitement of walking to the first as the crowd cheers

91
00:04:55.839 --> 00:05:02.360
<v Speaker 2>and simultaneously boos both teams. Right, that's fair. But possibly

92
00:05:02.399 --> 00:05:06.639
<v Speaker 2>that excitement is nothing compared to the disappointment and the

93
00:05:06.680 --> 00:05:10.240
<v Speaker 2>anger that the pitcher feels. You see, he didn't just

94
00:05:10.360 --> 00:05:14.519
<v Speaker 2>let a player walk. He may have just lost his life.

95
00:05:14.720 --> 00:05:19.120
<v Speaker 2>You see, this baseball game isn't any ordinary game. Each

96
00:05:19.279 --> 00:05:22.920
<v Speaker 2>and every player on the field for this team is

97
00:05:22.959 --> 00:05:26.639
<v Speaker 2>a convicted felon and found themselves sitting on death row.

98
00:05:27.519 --> 00:05:32.800
<v Speaker 2>Now they are playing a deathmatch. Winners could walk away

99
00:05:32.800 --> 00:05:36.560
<v Speaker 2>with their lives while the losers lose it all.

100
00:05:38.199 --> 00:05:41.959
<v Speaker 3>Wow, no way, yes.

101
00:05:41.879 --> 00:05:46.600
<v Speaker 2>Way, no way, yes fucking this is a real fucking thing.

102
00:05:47.040 --> 00:05:49.959
<v Speaker 3>Holy shit, because there's not enough pressure when you're playing sports,

103
00:05:50.199 --> 00:05:53.079
<v Speaker 3>right that your freaking life is on the line.

104
00:05:53.279 --> 00:05:57.040
<v Speaker 2>Yes, So, oh gosh, let's get into this.

105
00:05:57.160 --> 00:05:57.399
<v Speaker 3>Okay.

106
00:05:57.519 --> 00:06:03.839
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, a Wyoming State Penitentiary all Stars were not a

107
00:06:03.879 --> 00:06:07.600
<v Speaker 2>normal baseball team, as you probably gathered. They were a

108
00:06:07.639 --> 00:06:12.480
<v Speaker 2>twelve man team comprised of three rapists, a forger, five thieves,

109
00:06:12.560 --> 00:06:13.800
<v Speaker 2>and three murderers.

110
00:06:14.800 --> 00:06:16.959
<v Speaker 3>Okay, not really the lineup that I'd want to be

111
00:06:18.079 --> 00:06:21.000
<v Speaker 3>like at all, not really what you call all stars.

112
00:06:21.199 --> 00:06:26.439
<v Speaker 2>No, well, this was the state petary country. Okay, so

113
00:06:26.519 --> 00:06:30.439
<v Speaker 2>let's backtrack a little bit. In nineteen oh one, Wyoming

114
00:06:30.480 --> 00:06:34.160
<v Speaker 2>State Penitentiary was opened up during the times of what

115
00:06:34.199 --> 00:06:38.480
<v Speaker 2>we know as the Wild West, and I mean that literally.

116
00:06:38.560 --> 00:06:43.240
<v Speaker 2>It was the wild West. There were thieves, bandits, you know, outlaws,

117
00:06:43.279 --> 00:06:46.399
<v Speaker 2>the whole wild West scenario. People were being hung at

118
00:06:46.399 --> 00:06:50.040
<v Speaker 2>the gallows. Town folks raised pitchforks and protests against those

119
00:06:50.079 --> 00:06:53.720
<v Speaker 2>who were breaking the law, like it's the fucking wild West.

120
00:06:54.879 --> 00:06:57.480
<v Speaker 2>And if these outlaws did find themselves in the hands

121
00:06:57.519 --> 00:07:01.839
<v Speaker 2>of those pitchfork wielding mobs before going to prison, their

122
00:07:01.959 --> 00:07:07.560
<v Speaker 2>sentence was usually much more grim. See what I did there, Yeah,

123
00:07:07.720 --> 00:07:09.759
<v Speaker 2>I just wanted to give myself that little self high.

124
00:07:09.600 --> 00:07:11.120
<v Speaker 3>Five, pat on your back.

125
00:07:11.240 --> 00:07:16.360
<v Speaker 2>Ye. Also last episode I did another little word play

126
00:07:16.360 --> 00:07:20.160
<v Speaker 2>there too with Robert the Dall, because he inspired the

127
00:07:20.240 --> 00:07:23.800
<v Speaker 2>child plays movies chucky yep. I used how the adults

128
00:07:23.879 --> 00:07:28.839
<v Speaker 2>just shrugged off and just considered it was child's play.

129
00:07:28.879 --> 00:07:31.160
<v Speaker 2>But I didn't. I didn't give myself a public high.

130
00:07:32.800 --> 00:07:35.120
<v Speaker 2>I wanted to see if anyone would note that. That's

131
00:07:35.120 --> 00:07:36.199
<v Speaker 2>why I wanted to talk about it.

132
00:07:36.240 --> 00:07:38.120
<v Speaker 3>But oh my gosh, well let's see.

133
00:07:38.279 --> 00:07:40.040
<v Speaker 2>Well see, let us know if you if you caught that,

134
00:07:40.839 --> 00:07:44.600
<v Speaker 2>so what would happen is some would be caught before

135
00:07:44.600 --> 00:07:48.480
<v Speaker 2>the sheriffs could catch them, so be caught by the mobs.

136
00:07:49.279 --> 00:07:52.519
<v Speaker 2>Others were broken free from the prisons and taken by

137
00:07:52.560 --> 00:07:53.040
<v Speaker 2>the mobs.

138
00:07:53.399 --> 00:07:54.920
<v Speaker 3>Oh my gosh, Yes.

139
00:07:55.839 --> 00:07:57.519
<v Speaker 2>They would do this if the law, if they believe

140
00:07:57.560 --> 00:08:00.120
<v Speaker 2>the law wasn't carrying out just as fast enough the

141
00:08:00.160 --> 00:08:00.959
<v Speaker 2>likning of the people.

142
00:08:01.519 --> 00:08:02.160
<v Speaker 3>Okay.

143
00:08:02.680 --> 00:08:06.480
<v Speaker 2>Either way, if the outlaws were in the hands of

144
00:08:06.480 --> 00:08:09.759
<v Speaker 2>the mobs, they didn't last long. They would be beaten,

145
00:08:09.920 --> 00:08:11.959
<v Speaker 2>and they would often be strung up and hung in

146
00:08:12.040 --> 00:08:13.240
<v Speaker 2>various places in the town.

147
00:08:13.439 --> 00:08:14.040
<v Speaker 3>Holy shit.

148
00:08:14.439 --> 00:08:17.480
<v Speaker 2>At times, body parts would be taken as tokens as

149
00:08:17.480 --> 00:08:21.120
<v Speaker 2>souvenirs by the mobs. Skulls would be used as ashtrays

150
00:08:21.160 --> 00:08:24.800
<v Speaker 2>for example, Holy hat, and even in some cases, skin

151
00:08:24.839 --> 00:08:28.240
<v Speaker 2>would be used as leather for a variety of morbid keepsakes,

152
00:08:28.279 --> 00:08:29.160
<v Speaker 2>such as shoes.

153
00:08:29.600 --> 00:08:32.960
<v Speaker 3>Okay, I already thought this shit was going self. Then

154
00:08:33.000 --> 00:08:33.879
<v Speaker 3>that's real.

155
00:08:34.240 --> 00:08:36.600
<v Speaker 2>So that's what you could expect a mob would do

156
00:08:36.720 --> 00:08:38.039
<v Speaker 2>to you in the wild fucking.

157
00:08:37.799 --> 00:08:40.240
<v Speaker 3>West, Oh say, I mean, I guess.

158
00:08:40.279 --> 00:08:43.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, we're talking the wild West here. It literally fucking wild.

159
00:08:43.600 --> 00:08:45.120
<v Speaker 3>Oh my gosh.

160
00:08:45.480 --> 00:08:49.759
<v Speaker 2>So inside the prison, the outlaws didn't get killed in

161
00:08:49.840 --> 00:08:54.440
<v Speaker 2>such ways, but the torment it wasn't much different. In fact,

162
00:08:54.919 --> 00:08:59.080
<v Speaker 2>a penitentiary in itself, no matter the conditions, was considered

163
00:08:59.159 --> 00:08:59.960
<v Speaker 2>quite progressive.

164
00:09:00.919 --> 00:09:03.679
<v Speaker 3>So okay, So basically I just have to say, if

165
00:09:03.720 --> 00:09:06.120
<v Speaker 3>there's any time to be a good guy, I feel

166
00:09:06.159 --> 00:09:08.080
<v Speaker 3>like at that time you'd be a good guy.

167
00:09:08.759 --> 00:09:10.440
<v Speaker 2>I think at any time you should.

168
00:09:10.159 --> 00:09:13.399
<v Speaker 3>Be okay, at any time, at any time, totally fair.

169
00:09:13.440 --> 00:09:15.120
<v Speaker 3>But that is just like I think I would be

170
00:09:15.120 --> 00:09:19.360
<v Speaker 3>an angel, yeah, because that sounds also like scary.

171
00:09:19.720 --> 00:09:22.480
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, yeah, definitely. I don't want my skin to

172
00:09:22.559 --> 00:09:23.639
<v Speaker 2>be someone's fucking.

173
00:09:23.360 --> 00:09:24.240
<v Speaker 3>Shoes really shit.

174
00:09:24.679 --> 00:09:31.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Okay, So now, the Wyoming State Penitentiary wasn't It

175
00:09:31.440 --> 00:09:34.039
<v Speaker 2>was pretty much ran by the man by the name

176
00:09:34.120 --> 00:09:38.399
<v Speaker 2>of Otto Graham, who is an extremely wealthy businessman who

177
00:09:38.559 --> 00:09:40.320
<v Speaker 2>had a hunger for money and not much of a

178
00:09:40.440 --> 00:09:43.360
<v Speaker 2>taste for the well being of the prisoners or inmates. Okay,

179
00:09:44.039 --> 00:09:47.279
<v Speaker 2>he had a contract with a prison and the state,

180
00:09:47.360 --> 00:09:50.600
<v Speaker 2>and I don't really know how this worked, but somehow

181
00:09:50.639 --> 00:09:54.919
<v Speaker 2>he was bringing in over fifty cents per prisoner per

182
00:09:55.080 --> 00:09:57.559
<v Speaker 2>day from the state, so he was being paid by

183
00:09:57.559 --> 00:10:00.480
<v Speaker 2>the state per prisoner. I don't know how that worked exactly, Okay.

184
00:10:00.279 --> 00:10:03.320
<v Speaker 3>And she's probably like back then and that would add

185
00:10:03.360 --> 00:10:03.919
<v Speaker 3>up real quick.

186
00:10:04.080 --> 00:10:07.440
<v Speaker 2>Oh definitely, definitely. It might have been because he was

187
00:10:07.480 --> 00:10:09.679
<v Speaker 2>in charge and he was getting that to take care

188
00:10:09.679 --> 00:10:11.679
<v Speaker 2>of the prisoners or something, but he definitely wasn't spending

189
00:10:11.720 --> 00:10:15.759
<v Speaker 2>on the prisoners. He's spending it in his own pocket.

190
00:10:16.480 --> 00:10:20.720
<v Speaker 2>So not only was he getting this money from the prisoners.

191
00:10:20.720 --> 00:10:24.200
<v Speaker 2>In that aspect, he was also operating a broom factory

192
00:10:24.240 --> 00:10:27.360
<v Speaker 2>out of the prison. While the prisoners were being put

193
00:10:27.399 --> 00:10:30.679
<v Speaker 2>through long, hard labour's days manufacturing brooms for him. He

194
00:10:30.759 --> 00:10:34.200
<v Speaker 2>would clean house with the profece and just again add

195
00:10:34.240 --> 00:10:35.360
<v Speaker 2>more money to his pockets.

196
00:10:35.759 --> 00:10:37.159
<v Speaker 3>Okay, that's really interesting.

197
00:10:37.480 --> 00:10:40.440
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, on top of the brutal working conditions the

198
00:10:40.440 --> 00:10:43.960
<v Speaker 2>prisoners were going through, they were fed just enough food

199
00:10:44.080 --> 00:10:47.080
<v Speaker 2>to keep them from starving. Oh my gosh, and generally

200
00:10:47.480 --> 00:10:48.799
<v Speaker 2>it was rancid food at that.

201
00:10:49.159 --> 00:10:49.519
<v Speaker 3>Wow.

202
00:10:49.759 --> 00:10:51.799
<v Speaker 2>So just in case that money that he is getting

203
00:10:51.840 --> 00:10:53.840
<v Speaker 2>paid per prisoner per day is supposed to go to

204
00:10:53.879 --> 00:10:56.440
<v Speaker 2>their care and well being, like, certainly, yeah, it certainly

205
00:10:56.519 --> 00:10:57.519
<v Speaker 2>wasn't actually.

206
00:10:57.200 --> 00:10:59.960
<v Speaker 3>Going to and then he's off his best life pretty much.

207
00:11:01.720 --> 00:11:03.960
<v Speaker 2>So with these things in mind, I can't begin to

208
00:11:04.039 --> 00:11:06.679
<v Speaker 2>imagine the living conditions. I don't know what they would

209
00:11:06.720 --> 00:11:08.519
<v Speaker 2>have been, like, I don't know what they were.

210
00:11:08.919 --> 00:11:10.399
<v Speaker 3>But probably terrible.

211
00:11:10.559 --> 00:11:13.879
<v Speaker 2>Let your imagination go on that one. So either way,

212
00:11:13.960 --> 00:11:16.879
<v Speaker 2>it's a foul place and it only fed the golden

213
00:11:16.919 --> 00:11:19.159
<v Speaker 2>idea of trying to escape, and of course if you

214
00:11:19.159 --> 00:11:23.200
<v Speaker 2>were caught trying to escape, you were killed. And if

215
00:11:23.200 --> 00:11:25.600
<v Speaker 2>you didn't try to escape, there was a good chance

216
00:11:25.600 --> 00:11:28.000
<v Speaker 2>you might end up being killed anyways by other inmates

217
00:11:28.000 --> 00:11:32.159
<v Speaker 2>inside the prison. Needless to say, it was hell on

218
00:11:32.240 --> 00:11:34.960
<v Speaker 2>earth and morale was extremely low.

219
00:11:36.000 --> 00:11:37.559
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it sounds just awful.

220
00:11:37.960 --> 00:11:39.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, not a place you want to go.

221
00:11:39.840 --> 00:11:43.399
<v Speaker 3>No, no, no, definitely so far. It's just like I'm

222
00:11:43.440 --> 00:11:46.919
<v Speaker 3>just like, lah, I don't even know what to say.

223
00:11:47.519 --> 00:11:50.120
<v Speaker 3>You're just really throwing everything out us here.

224
00:11:50.399 --> 00:11:51.919
<v Speaker 2>Sorry, Dode, you want me to stop?

225
00:11:52.120 --> 00:11:53.600
<v Speaker 3>No, okay, carry on.

226
00:11:53.960 --> 00:11:55.240
<v Speaker 2>Just can you imagine if that was just the end

227
00:11:55.279 --> 00:11:55.960
<v Speaker 2>of the episode.

228
00:11:55.720 --> 00:11:59.879
<v Speaker 3>Okay, well, teculator.

229
00:12:00.360 --> 00:12:02.240
<v Speaker 2>Okay, Well we're gonna move forward a little bit to

230
00:12:02.360 --> 00:12:06.159
<v Speaker 2>nineteen eleven. So, however, a new political leader came in

231
00:12:06.240 --> 00:12:09.600
<v Speaker 2>and got rid of Auto and made a new man

232
00:12:09.639 --> 00:12:13.759
<v Speaker 2>by the name of Sheriff Felix Alston, the man in charge.

233
00:12:14.240 --> 00:12:18.279
<v Speaker 2>He's the new warden. Felix was definitely more progressive than Auto.

234
00:12:18.799 --> 00:12:21.879
<v Speaker 2>He didn't think that making prisoners work endless hours and

235
00:12:21.960 --> 00:12:25.279
<v Speaker 2>terrible conditions would turn around their lives very much or

236
00:12:25.360 --> 00:12:29.399
<v Speaker 2>make them any much of a different person for that matter. Okay, awesome, Yeah,

237
00:12:29.399 --> 00:12:32.480
<v Speaker 2>definitely is. He wanted to try and reform them, and

238
00:12:32.559 --> 00:12:35.159
<v Speaker 2>you know, perhaps maybe like make this prison or even

239
00:12:35.200 --> 00:12:38.480
<v Speaker 2>other prisons a better place in that regard, so he

240
00:12:38.519 --> 00:12:40.120
<v Speaker 2>definitely tried to do his best where he could.

241
00:12:40.279 --> 00:12:40.840
<v Speaker 3>That's awesome.

242
00:12:41.039 --> 00:12:44.000
<v Speaker 2>He implemented education for the inmates as well as physical

243
00:12:44.039 --> 00:12:47.720
<v Speaker 2>training regiments while the men were put to work, though

244
00:12:47.759 --> 00:12:49.799
<v Speaker 2>don't get me wrong that they weren't. It was no

245
00:12:49.879 --> 00:12:53.799
<v Speaker 2>longer making brooms endlessly for someone else's profit. It was

246
00:12:53.840 --> 00:12:57.279
<v Speaker 2>instead generally for the public, like fixing roads in the

247
00:12:57.360 --> 00:12:59.720
<v Speaker 2>local area of the states.

248
00:13:00.080 --> 00:13:02.759
<v Speaker 3>Sounds awesome, And you said it wasn't like as long

249
00:13:02.799 --> 00:13:03.960
<v Speaker 3>about hours.

250
00:13:03.600 --> 00:13:07.200
<v Speaker 2>And yes, yes, But most importantly, the men were given

251
00:13:07.279 --> 00:13:10.879
<v Speaker 2>free time. They got time to roam the prison yard

252
00:13:10.919 --> 00:13:14.960
<v Speaker 2>and enjoy the outdoor air and even participate in extracurricular activities.

253
00:13:15.639 --> 00:13:18.559
<v Speaker 2>The favor of the prisoners was the most popular sport

254
00:13:18.600 --> 00:13:22.240
<v Speaker 2>in the USA at the time, good old fashion baseball.

255
00:13:22.799 --> 00:13:25.679
<v Speaker 3>Okay, yeah, dun dun dum.

256
00:13:27.320 --> 00:13:29.120
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if that's really a dun dun dun.

257
00:13:29.399 --> 00:13:33.240
<v Speaker 3>Well that you're leading us up to something. Oh, definitely

258
00:13:33.879 --> 00:13:34.639
<v Speaker 3>to the main event.

259
00:13:36.080 --> 00:13:38.200
<v Speaker 2>So the men would band together and play whenever they

260
00:13:38.200 --> 00:13:41.279
<v Speaker 2>had the opportunity, and they took it seriously, but like

261
00:13:41.360 --> 00:13:43.799
<v Speaker 2>not like too serious where it's like they get angry

262
00:13:43.840 --> 00:13:45.480
<v Speaker 2>or whatever. It was all just for fun after all.

263
00:13:45.519 --> 00:13:48.320
<v Speaker 2>But like they they had fun and it was their sport.

264
00:13:48.600 --> 00:13:49.960
<v Speaker 2>They played to win the.

265
00:13:49.879 --> 00:13:52.559
<v Speaker 3>Game and stuff right, still probably competitive.

266
00:13:52.200 --> 00:13:54.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but for fun all at the same time, you

267
00:13:54.519 --> 00:13:57.039
<v Speaker 2>know what we're talking about. So their skill in the

268
00:13:57.080 --> 00:14:00.159
<v Speaker 2>game grew not only as players but as teammates and

269
00:14:00.200 --> 00:14:03.600
<v Speaker 2>the new warden Warden Felix began to take notice as

270
00:14:03.639 --> 00:14:05.840
<v Speaker 2>the men hit home runs over the prison walls and

271
00:14:05.919 --> 00:14:09.360
<v Speaker 2>even began to throw curve balls towards each other. So

272
00:14:09.399 --> 00:14:11.240
<v Speaker 2>as this was going on, he thought some of the

273
00:14:11.240 --> 00:14:15.360
<v Speaker 2>guys were good, like real good, like good enough to

274
00:14:15.440 --> 00:14:20.240
<v Speaker 2>maybe even go pro. Huh really, So, after talking with

275
00:14:20.279 --> 00:14:22.360
<v Speaker 2>some of the higher up connections that he got or

276
00:14:22.639 --> 00:14:24.639
<v Speaker 2>has that even got him this job in the first place,

277
00:14:26.399 --> 00:14:30.240
<v Speaker 2>they made an official team. They had new uniforms made

278
00:14:30.240 --> 00:14:35.480
<v Speaker 2>and all. They called themselves the Wyoming State Penitentiary All Stars.

279
00:14:37.159 --> 00:14:40.000
<v Speaker 2>So when news got out of this, the public laughed.

280
00:14:40.200 --> 00:14:41.840
<v Speaker 2>They just laughed it off, thinking that it was a

281
00:14:41.879 --> 00:14:45.120
<v Speaker 2>whole farce and that they were going to be like

282
00:14:45.759 --> 00:14:48.279
<v Speaker 2>laughed out of this playing field as they were about

283
00:14:48.279 --> 00:14:53.960
<v Speaker 2>to play a local team, the Wyoming Supply Company Juniors. However,

284
00:14:54.480 --> 00:14:57.840
<v Speaker 2>when it came time for game day, they would realize

285
00:14:57.879 --> 00:15:00.120
<v Speaker 2>just how serious these inmates.

286
00:14:59.600 --> 00:15:01.120
<v Speaker 3>Were and how good they were.

287
00:15:01.159 --> 00:15:06.600
<v Speaker 2>Probably Yep, the date was set July eighteenth, nineteen eleven.

288
00:15:07.159 --> 00:15:10.000
<v Speaker 2>The scum of the Earth inmates would be playing baseball.

289
00:15:10.480 --> 00:15:12.919
<v Speaker 2>But it wasn't going to be a game of sport.

290
00:15:14.200 --> 00:15:17.360
<v Speaker 2>Many of the leaders involved in the team, including Warden Felix,

291
00:15:17.440 --> 00:15:21.080
<v Speaker 2>put money down in the game the Penitentiary All Stars

292
00:15:21.120 --> 00:15:28.320
<v Speaker 2>in fact, Wait what wait? What by that? Sense? Don't

293
00:15:28.320 --> 00:15:31.440
<v Speaker 2>make sense? I wrote that, I wrote that too fast. Okay,

294
00:15:32.360 --> 00:15:34.759
<v Speaker 2>So Felix Warden put money down in the game they

295
00:15:34.799 --> 00:15:38.639
<v Speaker 2>put down. He put the money down on the Penitentiary

296
00:15:38.799 --> 00:15:40.879
<v Speaker 2>All Star All Star team, his own team.

297
00:15:40.879 --> 00:15:42.440
<v Speaker 3>He really believe that, Yes.

298
00:15:42.320 --> 00:15:45.759
<v Speaker 2>He believed in them so much. Yeah, and so the

299
00:15:45.799 --> 00:15:48.519
<v Speaker 2>men didn't want to lose. The men didn't want to lose.

300
00:15:49.080 --> 00:15:51.159
<v Speaker 2>The Warden didn't want them to lose or anything.

301
00:15:52.039 --> 00:15:54.480
<v Speaker 3>They knew that this bet and stuff was put on them.

302
00:15:54.559 --> 00:15:58.480
<v Speaker 2>Well, they knew because the warden told them if they won,

303
00:15:59.200 --> 00:16:03.960
<v Speaker 2>time would be moved from their sentence. No, if they lost,

304
00:16:04.679 --> 00:16:05.720
<v Speaker 2>time would be added.

305
00:16:06.039 --> 00:16:07.080
<v Speaker 3>Holy shit.

306
00:16:07.639 --> 00:16:13.679
<v Speaker 2>But most importantly, quote individual errors that cost the team

307
00:16:13.720 --> 00:16:16.600
<v Speaker 2>to win would result in death.

308
00:16:16.799 --> 00:16:20.000
<v Speaker 3>Oh my gosh, Okay, I thought that this like I

309
00:16:20.120 --> 00:16:23.360
<v Speaker 3>was like enjoying how this was going and this this

310
00:16:23.440 --> 00:16:26.799
<v Speaker 3>new person coming in and might great ideas, but this

311
00:16:26.879 --> 00:16:28.240
<v Speaker 3>is like this is terrible.

312
00:16:28.360 --> 00:16:30.399
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, gambling kind of wrecked all that.

313
00:16:30.759 --> 00:16:31.519
<v Speaker 3>Holy shit.

314
00:16:32.320 --> 00:16:35.000
<v Speaker 2>So the game was played and was played with grace

315
00:16:35.320 --> 00:16:40.399
<v Speaker 2>as gentlemen. These prisoners shocked the public in fact, with

316
00:16:40.480 --> 00:16:43.039
<v Speaker 2>how polite and graceful they played the game.

317
00:16:43.960 --> 00:16:46.600
<v Speaker 3>Really, even though they had this massive amount of pressure

318
00:16:46.639 --> 00:16:47.080
<v Speaker 3>on them.

319
00:16:47.200 --> 00:16:50.879
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, not only that, but a few small blunders, you know,

320
00:16:50.960 --> 00:16:53.039
<v Speaker 2>away from nerves, like yeah, hitting the picture in the

321
00:16:53.200 --> 00:16:56.399
<v Speaker 2>or hitting the battery on the shoulder. The Penitentiary State

322
00:16:56.480 --> 00:17:00.159
<v Speaker 2>All Start, sorry, the Penitentiary All Stars still managed to

323
00:17:00.240 --> 00:17:03.159
<v Speaker 2>win the game, but not just by a bit. They

324
00:17:03.200 --> 00:17:06.839
<v Speaker 2>won by a lot. They fucking destroyed the other team really,

325
00:17:07.079 --> 00:17:09.799
<v Speaker 2>which is one of the best teams in the area,

326
00:17:09.839 --> 00:17:12.279
<v Speaker 2>by the way, not just like some team they threw together.

327
00:17:12.319 --> 00:17:14.440
<v Speaker 2>This is already an established team in the area.

328
00:17:14.519 --> 00:17:16.480
<v Speaker 3>They had no idea that was coming.

329
00:17:16.720 --> 00:17:18.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, they won eleven to one.

330
00:17:19.319 --> 00:17:20.200
<v Speaker 3>Holy heck.

331
00:17:20.920 --> 00:17:24.240
<v Speaker 2>The star of the game was player Joseph Sang, who

332
00:17:24.319 --> 00:17:28.480
<v Speaker 2>hit two home runs, one of them being a grand Slam.

333
00:17:28.960 --> 00:17:29.519
<v Speaker 2>Do you know what that is?

334
00:17:29.599 --> 00:17:31.119
<v Speaker 3>Oh, is that when the are loaded the.

335
00:17:31.079 --> 00:17:34.400
<v Speaker 2>Bases are loaded. So you have a player on one base, one, two,

336
00:17:34.440 --> 00:17:37.440
<v Speaker 2>and three, and he's up to back, so he hits it,

337
00:17:37.480 --> 00:17:40.079
<v Speaker 2>so he gets four players across the plate.

338
00:17:40.359 --> 00:17:42.319
<v Speaker 3>That definitely would reduce his sentence.

339
00:17:43.200 --> 00:17:46.440
<v Speaker 2>Newspapers ate up that story of the whole team and

340
00:17:46.559 --> 00:17:50.880
<v Speaker 2>Joseph being a focal point for that matter. His story

341
00:17:51.039 --> 00:17:55.200
<v Speaker 2>was now out though, the public was starting to talk

342
00:17:55.240 --> 00:17:58.680
<v Speaker 2>about Joseph and what he did to get into the prison.

343
00:18:00.319 --> 00:18:03.480
<v Speaker 2>What he did was he murdered his work supervisor out

344
00:18:03.519 --> 00:18:09.039
<v Speaker 2>in the street. Holy yeah. However, that work supervisor just

345
00:18:09.079 --> 00:18:12.200
<v Speaker 2>so happened to be married to the woman that Joseph loved.

346
00:18:13.240 --> 00:18:15.480
<v Speaker 2>And what happened is it painted a picture of a

347
00:18:15.519 --> 00:18:19.200
<v Speaker 2>love struck man who acted out for the feelings towards

348
00:18:19.200 --> 00:18:23.720
<v Speaker 2>a woman, not someone who did it out of rage

349
00:18:23.880 --> 00:18:28.519
<v Speaker 2>or some drunken state. He killed this man out of love.

350
00:18:28.599 --> 00:18:32.079
<v Speaker 2>It made him relatable and even he had some pity

351
00:18:32.359 --> 00:18:33.599
<v Speaker 2>given on him by some people.

352
00:18:33.680 --> 00:18:36.440
<v Speaker 3>Oh my gosh, so people are just like obsessed with him.

353
00:18:36.480 --> 00:18:38.599
<v Speaker 2>Now, yeah they're thinking that, you know, maybe he wasn't

354
00:18:38.640 --> 00:18:40.519
<v Speaker 2>like a villain, but maybe more just like a love

355
00:18:40.519 --> 00:18:43.240
<v Speaker 2>struck man whose bright future ahead of him was taken

356
00:18:43.279 --> 00:18:45.839
<v Speaker 2>away or something like that. Hell, he could have been

357
00:18:45.880 --> 00:18:48.559
<v Speaker 2>a professional baseball player. Now he's just sitting here in

358
00:18:48.640 --> 00:18:52.960
<v Speaker 2>jail for emotions. But for just emotions that got the

359
00:18:53.000 --> 00:18:55.720
<v Speaker 2>better of him. Maybe he's not a bad guy. That's

360
00:18:55.799 --> 00:18:57.279
<v Speaker 2>kind of the perspective that's.

361
00:18:57.079 --> 00:18:59.440
<v Speaker 3>Being paid to. Okay, that seems interesting. I thought that

362
00:19:00.200 --> 00:19:01.640
<v Speaker 3>when you start talking that way, I thought it was

363
00:19:01.680 --> 00:19:05.079
<v Speaker 3>going to be going the opposite way, that the town

364
00:19:05.119 --> 00:19:07.440
<v Speaker 3>would like turn on them even more, or something like

365
00:19:07.480 --> 00:19:10.359
<v Speaker 3>of jealousy that now they're like playing on this all

366
00:19:10.359 --> 00:19:12.920
<v Speaker 3>star team and blah blah blah, they're like did something.

367
00:19:12.759 --> 00:19:17.480
<v Speaker 2>Terrible, No, they they began to start liking this team.

368
00:19:17.720 --> 00:19:21.200
<v Speaker 3>Wow. Okay, yeah, I did not see that going that way.

369
00:19:21.839 --> 00:19:24.559
<v Speaker 2>Well Joseph and other players. Wow, I stumbled that sense

370
00:19:24.720 --> 00:19:27.160
<v Speaker 2>Joseph and the other players. There we go. I can

371
00:19:27.279 --> 00:19:30.440
<v Speaker 2>articulate words sometimes if a tribe, good, thank you, high five,

372
00:19:31.839 --> 00:19:36.200
<v Speaker 2>yay a plus. They kept playing more and more games,

373
00:19:36.279 --> 00:19:39.359
<v Speaker 2>and they kept winning too. They had a lot at stake,

374
00:19:39.559 --> 00:19:42.200
<v Speaker 2>so they always played with their best even when it

375
00:19:42.640 --> 00:19:45.480
<v Speaker 2>came time for practice or training. They began to get

376
00:19:45.480 --> 00:19:49.359
<v Speaker 2>special treatment at the prison, in fact, which enraged other inmates.

377
00:19:49.720 --> 00:19:51.200
<v Speaker 3>Oh yes, it.

378
00:19:51.160 --> 00:19:54.720
<v Speaker 2>Led some to even try killing other players. Like Joseph

379
00:19:54.839 --> 00:19:57.759
<v Speaker 2>who was inches away from having a twenty five pound

380
00:19:58.400 --> 00:20:01.599
<v Speaker 2>box of sand dropped on his head from about thirty

381
00:20:01.640 --> 00:20:05.480
<v Speaker 2>feet up as he sat in the prison yard. If

382
00:20:05.519 --> 00:20:07.359
<v Speaker 2>it hit him, it would have killed him, but he

383
00:20:07.519 --> 00:20:09.039
<v Speaker 2>just so happened to lean out of the way at

384
00:20:09.079 --> 00:20:09.519
<v Speaker 2>that exactly.

385
00:20:09.839 --> 00:20:12.519
<v Speaker 3>Heck, well, okay, sorry, did you already go over how

386
00:20:12.519 --> 00:20:14.079
<v Speaker 3>they like chose the people that were going to play

387
00:20:14.079 --> 00:20:16.160
<v Speaker 3>on the baseball team originally? Was it just people that

388
00:20:16.240 --> 00:20:18.319
<v Speaker 3>kind of wanted to I.

389
00:20:18.319 --> 00:20:21.160
<v Speaker 2>Don't know how they selected, but considering it's the all

390
00:20:21.200 --> 00:20:24.000
<v Speaker 2>star team, they probably would have just like picked the

391
00:20:24.000 --> 00:20:26.519
<v Speaker 2>best players, like done tryouts or something like that.

392
00:20:26.599 --> 00:20:29.200
<v Speaker 3>So there could have been some anger and jealousy towards

393
00:20:29.279 --> 00:20:30.279
<v Speaker 3>them from the other end.

394
00:20:30.279 --> 00:20:32.440
<v Speaker 2>Makes it very possible, very possible. Actually, that's something I

395
00:20:32.440 --> 00:20:34.079
<v Speaker 2>never even thought of. Wow, good for you.

396
00:20:34.440 --> 00:20:36.839
<v Speaker 3>Good thinking, well, that's why they're trying to kill them

397
00:20:36.880 --> 00:20:37.359
<v Speaker 3>and stuff.

398
00:20:37.480 --> 00:20:40.119
<v Speaker 2>Well I was just thinking like jealousy after the fact

399
00:20:40.119 --> 00:20:40.440
<v Speaker 2>that it.

400
00:20:40.480 --> 00:20:42.119
<v Speaker 3>Was that they're getting special treatment.

401
00:20:42.319 --> 00:20:44.599
<v Speaker 2>Okay, but it could be a combination of both too.

402
00:20:44.720 --> 00:20:47.119
<v Speaker 2>I never thought about the you got on the team

403
00:20:47.119 --> 00:20:47.720
<v Speaker 2>and I didn't.

404
00:20:47.920 --> 00:20:50.400
<v Speaker 3>Oh, okay, I could. I could totally see that happening too.

405
00:20:50.759 --> 00:20:55.720
<v Speaker 2>Definitely. So more betting kept happening too, More games get

406
00:20:55.319 --> 00:20:59.480
<v Speaker 2>being played, all the while Joseph Sang kept being the

407
00:20:59.599 --> 00:21:03.319
<v Speaker 2>VIP the game. He kept that status, hitting home runs

408
00:21:03.359 --> 00:21:08.440
<v Speaker 2>with ease. Real people are starting to think, surely Joseph

409
00:21:08.559 --> 00:21:12.079
<v Speaker 2>was earning his freedom with each game. His execution date,

410
00:21:12.119 --> 00:21:16.039
<v Speaker 2>in fact, was coming closer and closer, and with his performance,

411
00:21:16.359 --> 00:21:21.119
<v Speaker 2>maybe he would be set free instead. So there is

412
00:21:21.200 --> 00:21:29.480
<v Speaker 2>something in here. Though Joseph did actually escape his Gallow

413
00:21:29.519 --> 00:21:35.960
<v Speaker 2>hangings date. He did escape that mostly because he was

414
00:21:35.960 --> 00:21:40.119
<v Speaker 2>playing baseball. Okay, so he's supposed to be hung. He

415
00:21:40.200 --> 00:21:42.359
<v Speaker 2>never got hung, and he's just still playing baseball.

416
00:21:42.359 --> 00:21:44.240
<v Speaker 3>Well, it's a famous person.

417
00:21:44.839 --> 00:21:49.160
<v Speaker 2>Pretty much. Word began to spread about the betting, though,

418
00:21:49.400 --> 00:21:53.119
<v Speaker 2>and soon Otto, the man who previously ran the prison,

419
00:21:53.759 --> 00:21:56.000
<v Speaker 2>got wind of it. From the start, he hated the

420
00:21:56.039 --> 00:21:58.480
<v Speaker 2>idea of the inmates playing ball first of all, and

421
00:21:58.519 --> 00:22:00.359
<v Speaker 2>he wanted the prison back second of all so he

422
00:22:00.400 --> 00:22:03.559
<v Speaker 2>could be making those brooms and the ridiculous profiting. So

423
00:22:04.440 --> 00:22:06.960
<v Speaker 2>he had no proof, but he kept trying to see

424
00:22:06.960 --> 00:22:09.720
<v Speaker 2>if he could find a way to unveil the betting

425
00:22:09.799 --> 00:22:12.119
<v Speaker 2>rinks rounding the baseball team, and he was kept trying

426
00:22:12.160 --> 00:22:14.200
<v Speaker 2>to talk about it to those he could and try

427
00:22:14.240 --> 00:22:20.480
<v Speaker 2>and prove it. So, regardless of that, over a total

428
00:22:20.519 --> 00:22:24.279
<v Speaker 2>of fifteen months, the team played a total of forty

429
00:22:24.400 --> 00:22:25.720
<v Speaker 2>five games totally.

430
00:22:25.960 --> 00:22:26.559
<v Speaker 3>That's a lot.

431
00:22:27.160 --> 00:22:28.240
<v Speaker 2>How many do you think they won.

432
00:22:28.440 --> 00:22:29.920
<v Speaker 3>I'm going to say that they won them all.

433
00:22:30.359 --> 00:22:31.359
<v Speaker 2>They didn't win them all.

434
00:22:31.480 --> 00:22:32.440
<v Speaker 3>Oh shucks.

435
00:22:32.680 --> 00:22:36.079
<v Speaker 2>They won thirty nine games out of forty five and

436
00:22:36.119 --> 00:22:36.960
<v Speaker 2>they lost six.

437
00:22:37.160 --> 00:22:38.240
<v Speaker 3>Okay, that's pretty good.

438
00:22:38.279 --> 00:22:42.599
<v Speaker 2>Still, that is extremely he could. Yes, an approximate total

439
00:22:42.759 --> 00:22:46.079
<v Speaker 2>of one hundred and thirty six thousand dollars had been

440
00:22:46.160 --> 00:22:51.599
<v Speaker 2>bet on that team, approximately equivalent to four million dollars today.

441
00:22:51.880 --> 00:22:53.720
<v Speaker 3>Holy so.

442
00:22:53.759 --> 00:22:57.440
<v Speaker 2>Now, unfortunately, the team had been shut down after those

443
00:22:57.440 --> 00:23:01.839
<v Speaker 2>fifteen months, through the room of the betting beginning to

444
00:23:01.839 --> 00:23:04.920
<v Speaker 2>be spread and how the politicians were using the team

445
00:23:05.039 --> 00:23:09.440
<v Speaker 2>to make money. So some of those exact politicians cracked

446
00:23:09.480 --> 00:23:12.759
<v Speaker 2>down on gambling to revert those rumors, and the team

447
00:23:12.880 --> 00:23:18.960
<v Speaker 2>was eventually replaced with educational programs. Now, what you're wondering

448
00:23:19.000 --> 00:23:22.599
<v Speaker 2>about the sentencing, Yes, the players get free.

449
00:23:23.200 --> 00:23:25.200
<v Speaker 3>This is some of the wildest shit I've ever heard.

450
00:23:25.200 --> 00:23:28.000
<v Speaker 3>This story correct, fascinating.

451
00:23:28.119 --> 00:23:30.519
<v Speaker 2>I wanted to research this one for like, I've never

452
00:23:30.640 --> 00:23:35.720
<v Speaker 2>heard players like Joseph saying did not get to see

453
00:23:35.759 --> 00:23:39.440
<v Speaker 2>their freedom again, though Joseph did prolong his sentence due

454
00:23:39.480 --> 00:23:43.519
<v Speaker 2>to actively playing the game. Like I said, and even

455
00:23:43.559 --> 00:23:48.680
<v Speaker 2>though three hundred and fifty locals petitioned it. On May

456
00:23:48.720 --> 00:23:54.480
<v Speaker 2>twenty fourth, nineteen twelve, at two forty five am, in

457
00:23:54.480 --> 00:23:57.440
<v Speaker 2>the shining moonlight, he took his last breath as he

458
00:23:57.519 --> 00:23:59.119
<v Speaker 2>was hung at the gallows.

459
00:24:00.000 --> 00:24:02.920
<v Speaker 3>Curiously, so he was still executed not.

460
00:24:02.880 --> 00:24:06.240
<v Speaker 2>Even two years after the beginning of the first game, So.

461
00:24:06.279 --> 00:24:08.640
<v Speaker 3>All of that was just like a lie, really, yep.

462
00:24:10.079 --> 00:24:14.799
<v Speaker 2>So the local newspaper the next day after Joseph was hung,

463
00:24:15.240 --> 00:24:19.640
<v Speaker 2>it read this, his steps were steady and he went

464
00:24:19.960 --> 00:24:22.839
<v Speaker 2>to his death in a manner which stamped him as

465
00:24:22.880 --> 00:24:23.599
<v Speaker 2>a brave man.

466
00:24:25.359 --> 00:24:30.680
<v Speaker 3>Wow. I feel like he's just like, I don't know,

467
00:24:30.839 --> 00:24:34.799
<v Speaker 3>just this, I can't think of the words, but almost

468
00:24:34.839 --> 00:24:39.400
<v Speaker 3>just like, I don't know, just okay when he first

469
00:24:39.400 --> 00:24:42.160
<v Speaker 3>went to prison to what he was when he died,

470
00:24:42.240 --> 00:24:47.920
<v Speaker 3>like just almost completely new reputation in a sense, I think, So, yeah,

471
00:24:47.960 --> 00:24:49.920
<v Speaker 3>it's just kind of kind of cool for him.

472
00:24:49.839 --> 00:24:53.319
<v Speaker 2>Really totally totally, and I can only imagine that it

473
00:24:53.319 --> 00:24:54.920
<v Speaker 2>would have changed a lot of the other inmates as

474
00:24:54.960 --> 00:25:00.480
<v Speaker 2>well who were involved. But yeah, whoever was involved. I

475
00:25:00.480 --> 00:25:02.200
<v Speaker 2>hope it changed them for the better, and I hope

476
00:25:02.240 --> 00:25:04.519
<v Speaker 2>they did get to prolong and live a little bit

477
00:25:04.559 --> 00:25:07.519
<v Speaker 2>more and enjoy the game. But that is the story.

478
00:25:07.880 --> 00:25:10.200
<v Speaker 2>I Wyoming State Penitentiary, all starts.

479
00:25:10.039 --> 00:25:12.920
<v Speaker 3>Surprised that if I, if anyone, I thought that he

480
00:25:13.039 --> 00:25:15.599
<v Speaker 3>maybe would have gone to like an early release or

481
00:25:15.640 --> 00:25:17.279
<v Speaker 3>not had to go through with the execution.

482
00:25:17.559 --> 00:25:18.519
<v Speaker 2>Not even him.

483
00:25:18.799 --> 00:25:24.960
<v Speaker 3>Hm hm wow. I can just imagine, just like I

484
00:25:25.000 --> 00:25:28.480
<v Speaker 3>think I would play worse like all those people out there.

485
00:25:28.480 --> 00:25:30.680
<v Speaker 3>They seem like just the way that you present the

486
00:25:30.680 --> 00:25:32.440
<v Speaker 3>story and stuff like that, they were doing good and

487
00:25:32.480 --> 00:25:34.799
<v Speaker 3>like the pressure was like fine for them. I would

488
00:25:34.839 --> 00:25:37.160
<v Speaker 3>be shitting my pants and probably like not even be

489
00:25:37.200 --> 00:25:38.240
<v Speaker 3>able to even throw a ball.

490
00:25:38.559 --> 00:25:40.880
<v Speaker 2>They were just that good compared to the other teams

491
00:25:40.880 --> 00:25:41.440
<v Speaker 2>they were playing.

492
00:25:42.480 --> 00:25:44.400
<v Speaker 3>But still that pressure, I feel like would almost make

493
00:25:44.400 --> 00:25:46.920
<v Speaker 3>you terrible. I don't know, but I'm one of those

494
00:25:46.920 --> 00:25:49.920
<v Speaker 3>people that has trouble under pressure. Some people strive with

495
00:25:50.119 --> 00:25:52.279
<v Speaker 3>fair enough, right, So a little.

496
00:25:52.000 --> 00:25:54.200
<v Speaker 2>Fun fact though, they did end up playing that same

497
00:25:54.319 --> 00:25:56.519
<v Speaker 2>team they played the first first game.

498
00:25:56.359 --> 00:25:58.440
<v Speaker 3>With, Yeah, when they won eleven one, really good team.

499
00:25:58.880 --> 00:26:02.839
<v Speaker 2>The second time they won eleven to one again. Oh,

500
00:26:03.200 --> 00:26:05.880
<v Speaker 2>the third time they didn't win as easily. I can't

501
00:26:05.880 --> 00:26:07.920
<v Speaker 2>remember the exact score. I didn't have a written down.

502
00:26:08.799 --> 00:26:11.359
<v Speaker 2>I think it was fifteen to ten. But they still

503
00:26:11.359 --> 00:26:15.200
<v Speaker 2>beat them every time they.

504
00:26:13.960 --> 00:26:16.640
<v Speaker 3>So those teams that did beat them were probably like,

505
00:26:17.559 --> 00:26:18.759
<v Speaker 3>probably pretty awesome.

506
00:26:18.880 --> 00:26:19.359
<v Speaker 2>Probably.

507
00:26:19.799 --> 00:26:24.440
<v Speaker 3>Huh, that's so cool, I mean coolest, yeah, cool, all

508
00:26:24.480 --> 00:26:26.839
<v Speaker 3>the things that we talk about like they're I don't know,

509
00:26:27.119 --> 00:26:30.519
<v Speaker 3>like that's wild and crazy that something like that would

510
00:26:30.519 --> 00:26:32.839
<v Speaker 3>even happen. But it's a really interesting story.

511
00:26:32.920 --> 00:26:35.359
<v Speaker 2>It is. It's a crazy one. So I hope you

512
00:26:35.359 --> 00:26:37.000
<v Speaker 2>got some epic lined up for the next one.
