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

Speaker 5: pick up now. When when the Rangers officials said the
Speaker 5: stadium is open today, we all thought it meant we're good.
Speaker 4: Dude.
Speaker 5: There's legit a storm blowing in and it's gonna rain
Speaker 5: for the next probably thirty or thirty five minutes.
Speaker 2: There's going to be rain.
Speaker 4: Okay, And so we're seeing like trash cans fly.
Speaker 5: Off the ground because the wind is picked up. There's
Speaker 5: a lot of good action. We might see humans get
Speaker 5: hit by stuff. It's gonna be crazy.
Speaker 1: The the brand new Funks drums are about to blow
Speaker 1: off the stage.
Speaker 2: They need some help holding those speakers down over there.
Speaker 2: That's expensive stuff too. Let's get that down.
Speaker 4: Yeah, if you get y'all broadcast, I'll be back. We're
Speaker 4: gonna have Christina ready to do.

Speaker 4: We got a couple of minutes.
Speaker 2: We're good. We now have my body weight holding down
Speaker 2: the tent, so we're good. Think's gonna happen. We'll never
Speaker 2: move ever again.
Speaker 3: A little bit.
Speaker 2: Everyone's safe now.
Speaker 5: A little bit earlier, the welding of a big umbrella
Speaker 5: came off and fell and on a table with people.
Speaker 5: It was kind of a kind of crazy, but it's like, yeah, look,
Speaker 5: if you're me and you're like, you know, look, you're
Speaker 5: looking for fun and crazy action, it's good.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: So yeah, gusta wind just came through, high high wind,
Speaker 1: and Skin ran over to help the band take the
Speaker 1: giant speakers down because they're they're locked, and we've got
Speaker 1: folks here helping us. Now hold down our tent that
Speaker 1: we're broadcasting under, holding down the Eagle tent. Boy, they
Speaker 1: got super windy and stuff's flying around like trash.
Speaker 2: This feels like a mini tornado.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's just a small storm, but we're in an
Speaker 5: area where the winds are gonna circle around like a tornado.
Speaker 5: If you look at the weather by the by the
Speaker 5: fifteen minute increments right now been fifty five percent chancer
Speaker 5: rain at three point thirty, where we are in Arlington
Speaker 5: thirty six percent chanceer rain at three forty five and
Speaker 5: at twenty four percent chancer rain at four. And then
Speaker 5: it's gonna be great.
Speaker 2: It's gonna be fine.
Speaker 5: But it was wild that the Rangers officials last night
Speaker 5: we're like, the roof will be closed, and then this
Speaker 5: morning you're like, no, the roof's open, thinking we're all
Speaker 5: in the clear.
Speaker 2: When we absolutely aren't. And here comes the sprinkles.
Speaker 1: Oh, we have now felt a drop. We are broadcasting outdoors.
Speaker 1: I will say I was talking to Evans and he
Speaker 1: got the engineer and he was like, oh, gonna move
Speaker 1: us inside. I was like, nah, dude, it's gonna be
Speaker 1: perfectly dry, and now I'm probably gonna have to buy
Speaker 1: all of his equipment for him. And he listened to
Speaker 1: a guy that laughs like that, talk about the weather.
Speaker 5: You're feeling wetness, it's because there's some really nice pools
Speaker 5: and fountains around us as well, so it might not
Speaker 5: even be rain. I think what we should do is
Speaker 5: you should do a couple of live spots. Okay, we
Speaker 5: should play a couple nice rock songs, and then we'll
Speaker 5: reconvene in around three point forty and who knows what's
Speaker 5: gonna be going on.
