JP Crawford literally just walked into the building. How are you here, JP Crawford? You can't even hear me. His name's Andre Huff. That's the leader of our fantasy baseball league, actually, right there. Um, okay, man, a lot of shit to talk about, John.

SPEAKER_03 2:59

Yeah, Terry's new spot, dude. I have actually, you know what's crazy is I here, see it say hi now. I'm changing your vote your tone around real quick. Hey, how's it going? Yeah, I like that. Sounds a little bit better. Um how long have you been at Terry's now for?

SPEAKER_04 3:11

Uh I was started a week after they opened. So beginning of January.

SPEAKER_03 3:14

Yeah, and I mean, gosh, it's like, I mean, I'm fucking, I'm so pumped that they're open now, bro. Like, I mean, it took, I'm not, and when I say that, I that that I've already gonna sound bad. It took a minute because look how nice it is in there.

SPEAKER_04 3:26

Yo, yeah, and it was what it was before and what it is now is very different for sure. Two years almost, I think, on the remodel. Is that was it two years? Yeah, just about a year and a half, two years, I think. Um, but yeah, it's beautiful in there. It's nice, all brand new wood, new brand new kitchen. It's amazing.

SPEAKER_03 3:42

Yeah, yeah. I mean, hey, look, one one time before we get too far into the uh show, let's give uh Pizza Time Pub a quick shout-out. Yeah, we got Rick behind the stick right now. Come on, y'all. Rick behind the motherfucking stick, and I'm gonna go back to my other sound bank so we can get some cheers going on here, right?

SPEAKER_04 3:57

Sounds good to me. Yeah, go shout out Rick for the drinks. Bruh, who's in your top five, bruh?

SPEAKER_03 4:02

Top five bartenders, I'd say me, Rick, Travis, Travis, and then uh Savannah and Jared, bro. That's my top five right there. I'm just kidding. There's so many, there's so many great bartenders. We're not gonna get into that conversation today, but that is a fucking fun one. I actually have a fucking list of going back to like 2018, bro. Like on with fucking just pencil and fucking paper by who my favorite bartenders are, dude. And like, and some of them just opened recently a new spot on the hilltop.

SPEAKER_04 4:29

Okay, what's that place?

SPEAKER_03 4:31

Do your fucking research, do your math. They didn't just open it. Okay, but it's been opened. I don't know, because I don't want to give my list away. You know what I'm saying? But um, but it is um the Huckleberry Club. Oh, yeah. I mean, they got some of the fucking best bartenders in the fucking city. Yeah. Uh veteran-wise, personality-wise, knowledge-wise, fucking just yeah. Um, but again, I didn't want to do that right now because we're not talking about that um necessarily. We're getting our volume, our fucking shit right over here, guys. And um, dude, John, there's the sweet 16. I know it's opening day. Yep. So I do got my fucking my Oakland Oaks jacket and hat on. I don't want to bring up my Mariner shit yet. We'll get there. You know? Don't worry, we'll get there. Um, but yeah, so the Mariners are playing tonight. We got Logan Gilbert on the mound. Uh we'll touch on some mariner shit in a little bit here, but um uh, dude, opening day and all that shit. I mean, it's a fucking beautiful vibe. The sweet 16, though, happening right now. You know what I'm saying? The sweet 16 happening right now, and there is some fucking beautiful games. There's some amazing games happening right now. Um, have you been following along at all? Have you been DD? I fought a little bit. I watched the high point trying to run a Cinderella. That was cool. Okay. Did you do a bracket at all? Or are you like that? I did not fill out one of the 26 million brackets uh put in this show. Do you not ever, do you never do them or what? Probably not, no.

SPEAKER_04 5:51

Basketball's just not usually my biggest.

SPEAKER_03 5:53

Oh, you said you said probably not. I mean, so no, you haven't then.

SPEAKER_04 5:56

I have before. Okay.

SPEAKER_03 5:57

Yeah, it's not a thing I check in every year and be like, yep, fill it out. Okay, so you don't got a bracket, it's okay. Okay, so just because you don't have one, then I'll X this part of the fucking of the show out then right now, and just kind of toot my high horse, not like saying my.

SPEAKER_04 6:09

You're what, 13 for 16 right now, right?

SPEAKER_03 6:11

Well, I mean, I got 28 of 32, yeah, in the bracket of the first round, right? And now I got 13 of 16 fucking still left in the sweet 16.

SPEAKER_04 6:19

Like that's pretty good.

SPEAKER_03 6:19

You know, so I skipped the second round and went. But I mean, of course, I uh I'm feeling good about it. Of course, I've had the high point game where I had a problem this year where I would fucking bet the upsets on paper, but when my wallet was concerned, I was a fucking bitch and I wouldn't I wouldn't bet on uh you know, high point with my money with my wallet. I did actually bet money on Arkansas and I was right on that. That's why there is a couple beautiful upsets that I've I'm proud of. You hit this year for sure. You know, but no, I didn't hit because they're all involved with other parlays that didn't fucking hit, like Gonzaga. Yeah. You know, I'm not trying to sit there and talk shit about Gonzaga, because you know, it's it's teams get tough, you know what I mean? Like the NCAA is one one game, you know what I mean? It's like one game move on, so it's tough. So but Gonzaga did fuck me twice this year on you know, hitting nine leg parlays. They were like the eight, the one the one team that didn't win. Yeah. And they only lost like three or four times that you know this season.

SPEAKER_04 7:13

Oh yeah, you got terrible picks.

SPEAKER_03 7:15

You know, uh, so that's kind of fucking bullshit. But um man, uh let's talk baseball. Let's keep it 100 and and try to like you know talk a little bit about the Mariners this season and uh how you're feeling about I like them, you know, as as we enter the season.

SPEAKER_04 7:33

I like them as a whole. Um it's rough seeing JP Crawford start the year on the I. L and Price Miller on the I. L. So a couple big key guys there missing, but uh they can stay healthy the rest of the year. I there's no reason why they can't win the West again.

SPEAKER_03 7:46

Yeah, I mean, and they're favored to win it, right?

SPEAKER_04 7:48

Yep, they're favored by like seven games or something like that. Uh but you can't ever count out Texas and Houston because those are.

SPEAKER_03 7:54

Oh no, Texas got a lot of good young dudes, man. They gotta fucking pause. We got a lot of good young players for sure, though. Um yeah, dude, no, for no doubt.

SPEAKER_04 8:03

Our starting five with the Mariners is gonna be another top, you know, top tier starting five in the league.

SPEAKER_03 8:09

Is Wu all the way healed back up?

SPEAKER_04 8:11

Yep, Wu's ready to go.

SPEAKER_03 8:12

Like 100% healed, ready to rock.

SPEAKER_04 8:14

100% ready to go.

SPEAKER_03 8:15

Is it Rosarina and Cal Raleigh? Are they all patched and mended and ready to rock? I heard they hugged and kissed and made up about it, yeah. And it's all good. They went to the probably the JM and had a couple cold ones.

SPEAKER_04 8:23

Yep, yep. They went to the Met and had a good steak or something like that.

SPEAKER_03 8:25

Yeah, but because the JM's, is it closed now or no?

SPEAKER_04 8:29

I don't know.

SPEAKER_03 8:29

Yeah, fuck. Do you know what the JM is? I don't know the J M. Dude, come on, man. You gotta know what the JM is, John.

unknown 8:35

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 8:36

Hold on. Like it or not. Wait a minute. I need to get my sound bank popping, dude, because this is not it, dude. Okay, yeah. Um, back on to some other shit, though. So the mayor's games, are you? Do you have any tickets lined up for any games?

SPEAKER_04 8:53

No, I don't have any tickets lined up. Usually I'll go no night of or something, you know. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I usually just buy the cheap ones and then go stand out in the pen.

SPEAKER_03 9:00

I mean, I still might go tonight. It's two o'clock right now. The game's at 7.10. You can make it. By 6.30, the opening ceremonies for the West Division champion. Yeah, all that. Oh, that'd be fun to watch for sure. Yeah. Um I mean, the only game I went to last year, I'm not gonna brag brag about it again, was the uh game where Cal hit 60 and they clinched. Mm-hmm. Great game to then I high-fived them outside the stadium. Remember that old cool story? And then and then the then the young homies ran 48 yards to chase them afterwards. And uh anyways, um, so uh the Mariners, I'm excited about this season. I, you know, I I'm gonna try more of the food in the stadium.

SPEAKER_04 9:35

Yeah, oh, they got some good food this year.

SPEAKER_03 9:37

I mean, is there so I I didn't see the new lineup. You know, every year I I I always watch and see what they've unleashed. Do you know? They unleashed this.

SPEAKER_04 9:44

It's a cool little uh, they're calling it the ferry boat, but you could put your chicken strips, your crab notch on the box. I did you get the dipping sauces, and it just looks just like one of our ferries out here.

SPEAKER_03 9:53

That's one of the first ones I've seen. That's the first one, okay. Yeah, for sure.

SPEAKER_04 9:56

I've heard a rumor of a big dumper ice cream. So it's apparently chocolate ice cream served in a toilet bowl. Damn. Yep, that's a cool little souvenir to collect up there.

SPEAKER_03 10:05

I wonder how that's gonna taste. I'm just kidding, it's probably gonna make you go. Take a big dump after that.

SPEAKER_04 10:10

Uh the league as a whole did some pretty good food this year. A couple teams put out the 999 challenge, if you saw that yet.

SPEAKER_03 10:16

I mean, I have seen what people were clowning on the Mets, though.

SPEAKER_04 10:19

Yeah, because of 999.

SPEAKER_03 10:20

Because they have like little like fucking smokies, you know what I'm saying? They were like Yeah, it's not a true challenge. And I mean, you know what? What do you think about that challenge? Is it for people that are only of, you know, like if you gotta be six five and above six? I mean, like, what the fuck?

SPEAKER_04 10:33

I don't think it's a size thing, but it you know, it's not like 5'10, 260, and above. It's a tough one. Nine hot dogs?

SPEAKER_03 10:40

Nine beers, nine innings. What do you do? Do you fit fucking dogs? It's crazy. Do you fit as many as you can in this as fast as you can, and then like chill for three innings?

SPEAKER_04 10:48

Dude, I think you gotta go like three dogs in the first inning first.

SPEAKER_03 10:51

You have to do that.

SPEAKER_04 10:52

Yeah, get try and get as many of those out of the way.

SPEAKER_03 10:54

I can fucking pound beers later. Not saying that, but I can pound beers later, you know what I mean?

SPEAKER_04 10:58

Because you don't want to drink seven beers and then be like, dang, I have seven hot dogs I still gotta eat.

SPEAKER_03 11:01

Oh no, hell no. Nope. Um, but also eating nine hot dogs. Now, when you're talking hot dogs, is it like, you know, it's not the bullshit the fat smokies of the metch are doing, and it's not the fucking 12-inch dogs.

SPEAKER_04 11:15

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 11:15

You know?

SPEAKER_04 11:16

Yeah, Nathan's famous or whatever you want to call it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Um, nine of those. I mean, you got two and a half hours to do it. So you break it down, it's like four dogs an hour.

SPEAKER_03 11:25

Dude. So do pe have people done that then? Has it been?

SPEAKER_04 11:29

Yeah, I I've seen some unruly challenges completed.

SPEAKER_03 11:32

So, okay, I don't do my research, man.

SPEAKER_04 11:34

Yeah, they don't really look all that great afterwards because it's a tough challenge.

SPEAKER_03 11:36

But uh, you know where we have to be and where we where we should bring this fucking conversation next is to a couch and like have a fucking TV right there.

SPEAKER_04 11:44

Or just do the challenge ourselves.

SPEAKER_03 11:45

No, and just so we can comment on it. We can also do the do the challenge ourselves, but also just, you know. Yeah. So we can do like a reaction type shit. Absolutely. Yeah. You know, that'd be a good part. Um but Mariners games, I'm looking forward to all those day games. I'm looking forward to hitting as many day games as possible. Yep. You know. Um, those are usually Wednesdays and Sundays, if you're not, if I'm not mistaken.

SPEAKER_04 12:06

Yeah, Wednesday, Sundays, and then also the Rainier play a lot of day games throughout the week. Um, I check out Rainier's games more than I check out Mariners games.

SPEAKER_03 12:12

Well, I mean, speaking of the Rainers, when is their home opener?

SPEAKER_04 12:14

Uh, next Thursday, I believe. Oh, hell yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 12:17

Rainers games are so fucking fun. I just, you know what I love the most about Rainier's games? That I don't have to drive 48 minutes or hop on public transportation. I mean, but I love being in Seattle for Mariners games. Don't get me wrong on a beautiful day. So that's not that much of a an issue. You know what I mean?

SPEAKER_04 12:31

But the intimacy there at uh Chiny Stadium, you're closer to the field, you're closer to the players, beers are cheaper, food's cheaper. Yeah. It's a wonderful stadium to be at, and for us it's just a quick 15-minute. We're fucking blessed. Yeah, it's a good thing.

SPEAKER_03 12:44

You know. Um speaking of um the Mariners, real quick before we touch back, possibly on the uh on the Rain Ears, your favorite places before I load I just you know blast off a few, that you like to watch Mariners games at if you have a you know, no problem getting there, you know, with the vibe, the TV screens, the food specials, the vibe, and all that. I mean, you can never go wrong with the sports book down at the casino. Shout out to EQC. Huge shout out to Cam down there, too. Man, let's go. All right now. Uh other ones, loose wheel on sixth halves.

SPEAKER_04 13:18

Oh, they got TVs on every wall. You can't miss a game at all. Hands down. Yep, that was on my list. Keep on going. Yep. Um honestly, the new spot over at Terry's the TVs are huge, dude.

SPEAKER_03 13:27

They're like almost returned. Where's their TV set up at? Where because when you walk in, it's just like bar. Or is there a TV when you walk in too? Is there? You had a TV right when you walk in, right in front of you. There's a TV behind the bar. There's four on the back wall, and there's four on the outside. I've been there once and I was there for under a half hour, so my mind and I'm getting older, Johnny. I'm getting older, Johnny.

SPEAKER_04 13:45

In total, we have 13 TVs over there. Johnny, I'm getting old.

SPEAKER_03 13:49

No, but hell yeah, dude. Um Terry's. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 13:53

Okay. Um I don't venture far out from those places for the most part.

SPEAKER_03 13:57

Well, you know what, John? What about like the Clover Leaf? The Clover Leaf, the beach is a great spot. You know what? How about this? Anywhere that has a fucking TV, you can actually watch the game, dude, with people around you, at least one or two people that give a fuck. Or interested in it. Or not. You know, it is what it is. I don't I don't need that to allow me to have a good time watching the Mariners play. Absolutely. I genuinely sit there and fucking love hearing fucking Rick Riz shoot the shit and then the guys, I'm not sure the other announcer's name. Uh Goldschmidt. Is it Goldschm? I believe so, yeah. Our other announcer? Yeah. Yeah, well fucking hey, shout out to him too. Um, but uh but yeah, man. Watching baseball in general. It's just a man, you know, there's a reason why it's called America's favorite pastime and it hasn't fallen out of that well whether it is by the numbers or not. It's not about that, John, right? No, not at all. It's still most one of the most popular sports in the country, for sure. Yeah, no, for sure.

SPEAKER_04 14:48

You get you for literally for the next seven months, we have baseball every day.

SPEAKER_03 14:53

Seven fucking months.

SPEAKER_04 14:55

No matter if you're a uh a Mariners fan or you just a fan of the game, that's what makes baseball so good, is you could go, like I said, for seven months and not miss a game at all. Somebody's playing.

SPEAKER_03 15:04

Did you bring up the West End yet? I have not yet, no. As far as watching baseball game two, that's another solid spot to watch it at too. Um last year, I mean shit, right where we're at right now, Pizza Pizza Time Pub, we're sitting here right motherfucking now where we were watching the game last year. 100%. 15 in the game right here, and it was fucking cracking in here. It was, it was packing. Um so that goes back to me just saying it doesn't really matter where you're at as long as you can get the game. Yep, as long as you see the game and you're having a good time. Shout out to us getting direct TV because before we had that shit and it was fucking windy last spring, the game would fucking blow away in the fucking wind with the satellite, and then you wouldn't be able to watch the fucking game. Yep. And people were mad, you know, and I mean shit. If you all you got is pizza and TV and beer, you need the TV to work. 100%. The pizza to be pretty fucking good, semi-good, so we need to do a better job here. And then uh then uh the everything else is fucking locked in and fine. As long as the beer's cold, yeah, as long as the beer's cold, yeah, and the pizza's not a day old. Yeah, it's perfect. You know? Yeah, and I wanted to say that rhyme loud, but I don't want to fucking make a scene in the bar. You want to just blast the bar real quick, yeah. No, dude. We're 16 minutes in sports fans. How are we doing out there? Tacoma, how have we been? How we're you we're emerging from our fucking from uh where we've been hybridating now for quite a while. Yeah. Damn near half the year, man.

SPEAKER_04 16:21

Andre, he's the uh he's the captain of our fantasy football, our fantasy baseball league, too. I'm just kidding. And the captain, but man, he got the JP Crawford jersey on. We were just talking about JP. That's who I was talking about when he walked in. He didn't hear me. Dave, you out of here? It might be Dave Swan song this year. Well, Dave in the house. Dave, hold on. A real Tacoma needs to say something for like it or not, real quick. What's happening in Tacoma? And Andre's leaving too? He's I'll talk to you soon. Hey, actually, Dave, here we go for just two seconds. Well, hey, where here? Hey. There you go. You don't have headphones on, but we can hear you clearly in there now. This is fucking a Tacoma legend, guys. It used to fucking kick your ass if you talk shit back in the day. We're gonna touch back on that also at a later time, but like it or not, there's legends in the house at Pizza Time, guys. Come and check for yourself.

SPEAKER_05 17:39

Go to Tacoma. Yeah. You guys have a great day.

SPEAKER_03 17:42

Um we got two other legends in the house, too. We got the Bleszy, uh the uh the Burnett brothers over there. We got Harrison and Tristan over in the building. Uh, anyways, guys, where were we just at before we started getting off track there?

SPEAKER_04 18:06

Uh Mariner's Talk was where we were at there for a little while. Talked about some of the food.

SPEAKER_03 18:10

And we were talking about restaurants to watch the games at.

SPEAKER_04 18:12

Oh, yeah, restaurants to watch. Yeah. Oh, Hanks, another good spot. They got the TVs everywhere.

SPEAKER_03 18:15

Got Hanks on there too. Loose wheel. I said I had the float down, so if you're actually listening to this and you're still in Pierce County, like out in like in the fucking like Purdy area or like across the bridge or something like that, you can definitely get away with going to the float and having a fucking blast. And there's always giveaways there. Pat Furman holds it down there. Okay. Beloved man, uh, and it's a great place to go. So uh what the fuck songs we have on here, sports fans.

SPEAKER_04 18:45

Just hit the radio play for you there.

SPEAKER_03 18:47

Yeah, you know, um, we're gonna put it back on some more.

SPEAKER_04 18:50

You got a favorite snack you eat during the game, a favorite food you have to have if you're watching a game?

SPEAKER_03 18:55

Like if I'm at the you mean if I'm at the stadium, yeah.

SPEAKER_04 18:57

If you're at the stadium, like you go to the ball breaking, like you're getting a beer, and what what are you gonna eat? You getting a hot dog, a pretzel, cotton candy.

SPEAKER_03 19:02

I mean, look, so I mean a 100%, first and foremost, when I get there, I mean because I like to eat at the games, you know, like but I like to think that I like to eat because rarely do I fully do this. I'm not consistent with it, but if I do, hot dog first, a nice fucking fat glizzy with some motherfucking onions and mustard on it.

SPEAKER_04 19:20

Yeah, usually I'll get my hot dog fixed either before the game or after the game. So you get it out there out there on the street. Okay, where they're doing the Seattle dogs out there, and then when I get in there, you know, have a beer or two, and then it's like little Woody's got the burger and chicken shack out in center field.

SPEAKER_03 19:33

See, now here's I just need to start, I need to go to a game with someone that's that likes to eat, and then someone likes to move around and not someone that just wants to sit there and just fucking get drunk. Dude, it's good as a big thing. Which is fun as fuck, you know.

SPEAKER_04 19:43

Yeah, sitting in your seat and watching a game is great, but there's a whole experience about going to the ballpark, man.

SPEAKER_04 37:02

I played uh airline softball growing up, or not growing up, but when he was, you know, in his young, young adult life.
