Sports What-Ifs And Time Travel Picks

You can learn a lot about someone by two questions: what sports moment they’d time travel to see live, and whether they think it’s fair to recline an airplane seat. We put both on the table and let the arguments fly, starting with the kind of fan talk that never gets old: the Stanley Cup, baseball standings that make no sense, and the eternal fear that your team will mismanage its best talent.

Then we go full sports history fantasy draft. We lock in bucket-list events like 2016 World Series Game 7, the Miracle on Ice, Jesse Owens winning in Berlin, and classic baseball moments that still spark debate decades later. From there, we push into alternate history sports “what if” scenarios, where one ring, one coaching move, or one shot changes how a franchise is remembered forever. If you love sports storytelling, legacy talk, and arguing with your friends in the group chat, this section is for you.

The back half turns everyday life into the same kind of debate: airplane etiquette for reclining, the gross truth about coffee mugs and “good enough” cleaning, and a moral test about helping an elderly stranger when you’re running late. We also vent about modern concert pricing, shout out a rare example of truly affordable tickets, and close with what we’re watching and where we might show up next.

Subscribe so you don’t miss the next round, share this with a friend who always argues the opposite side, and leave a review with your own time-machine sports pick.

Three guys around a table. And by three guys, we're talking about three friends a lawyer, an engineer, and a school superintendent.

They should trade him right now. They should trade him right now. Because A, you're never gonna re-sign him. No, that's true. And B, his value is never gonna be as high as it is, right? He's either gonna be a Yankee or a Dodger. Trade him now. I agree. You could get a package of stuff that then you could trade them when they get good too.

Time Machine Sporting Event Picks

SPEAKER_01 3:51

think it's kind of fun. If the this is the the the first topic, if you had a time machine, yeah, and you could go back in time to see a sporting event that you didn't get to see in person, yeah. What would that sporting event be?

SPEAKER_02 4:07

So so are we talking about things in our lifetime we didn't see in person or before?

SPEAKER_01 4:12

It can be either. It can be either. Mine's easy. I know what yours is. Yeah, mine's easy. Your yours is the easiest one. I'd yes, I know exactly what it is. But share with the crowd.

SPEAKER_02 4:22

Uh it would be game seven of the 2016 World Series. And that's go watch it in person.

SPEAKER_01 4:26

And there's a lot of people that would pick that one, A, because it was a great World Series. Great game. Fantastic game. Oh, and yeah.

SPEAKER_02 4:35

18 minutes of rain ended at 102-year drought.

SPEAKER_01 4:38

Yeah, exactly. There you go.

SPEAKER_02 4:40

Yeah, that that no question that's the one I would do.

SPEAKER_01 4:42

I'd be thinking about number two for you, though. You really would be ruined it for me.

SPEAKER_03 4:47

I've got like three things in my mind. And one of them was like, I don't like to go back to the Coliseum and watch the gladiators fight.

SPEAKER_01 4:56

You can do anything you want with us. You can you be you. Yeah, exactly. Number one would be for the Miracle on Ice. Oh, I see. You stole mine 100%.

SPEAKER_03 5:06

I want to be there and be a part of that.

SPEAKER_01 5:07

Yep. That would be awesome. Yeah. Um, and the live hockey's great.

SPEAKER_02 5:11

I hate hockey on TV.

SPEAKER_03 5:13

Uh I couldn't agree more.

SPEAKER_02 5:14

Live hockey's awesome. Um when you get the patriotism of the US versus the Cold War, you know, all that going on, and all that being a Reagan.

SPEAKER_01 5:23

And the thing about that game that a lot of people don't understand and don't know. That wasn't the finals. It wasn't the finals. And when was the game? It was in the afternoon.

SPEAKER_02 5:32

Oh wow. I didn't I didn't know that. Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 5:34

It was an afternoon, like during the week game. It was not, you know, because that's and so it was like five o'clock or whatever. So cool. That'd be so cool to have been there. Yeah. That that would have been that would have been mine. Uh, since I can't choose that one now, and be thinking about your second one. Oh, I got my second one. Um mine would be going back to the 1936 Summer Olympics and watching Jesse Owens win in in Germany in Berlin in German in Germany. Yeah. That uh, you know, that would have that would have been pretty cool to see. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So in front of Hitler. Yes. In in front of the the Fuhrer. Yep. What's your number two?

SPEAKER_02 6:17

Uh probably Babe Ruth called Shot in Wrigley Field. That would be pretty cool.

SPEAKER_01 6:22

Yeah. I'd like to see it just to see if how much of it did it really.

SPEAKER_02 6:27

Yeah, I mean, if it really happened. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 6:29

Yeah. Yeah. So my number two, again, I am thinking Coliseum would be awesome, but that wasn't really a sporting event. That was a daily activity. Yeah. Number two, if I could go back.

SPEAKER_02 6:39

Why is both men baseball?

SPEAKER_03 6:41

Well, baseball's a great sport, man. If I could go back to when the Cubs played the Red Sox in the World Series, if I could sit on top of the Green Monster in the corner, and I just had a brain lapse.

SPEAKER_02 7:00

Who was talking about Carlton Fisk? Carlton Fisk hit the ball. Reds and the Red Sox 1975. You said the Cubs. Yeah. You had Red Sounds.

SPEAKER_01 7:07

I meant Red Sox, sorry, Red Sox. Reds and Red Sox. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 7:11

That was game six. And I would wave it, I would have waved it foul, although it still would have been fair. But it went to game seven. The Reds still won. That's all that matters. That's true. But how cool would that be to be sitting on the monster by the pole?

SPEAKER_01 7:23

That's pretty cool.

SPEAKER_03 7:24

Seeing seeing them up there waving it and nobody knowing.

SPEAKER_01 7:27

I love how everyone always points back to that home run and then realizes oh yeah, the Red Sox lost the next game. Exactly. The Red Lost the World Series. That's right. And it started really the dynasty of the big red machine. Um for my number two, pretty easy for me. I think you guys would probably guess it. Um, the first Tampa Bay Lightning Stanley Cup win in 2004. I was I watched it in uh this is funny. Uh in in my bedroom at at the house in Tampa. We lived in Tampa at the time. And we had a foreign exchange student with us. Her name was Mastura. And Carrie and Mastura were in the other room in the living room watching American Idol, which was a real big deal back then. And I had to go to the bedroom to watch game seven and uh to watch the lightning win in game seven in Tampa, which was just awesome. But I'd love to see that one in person.

SPEAKER_02 8:22

So you know, when you sent that text today, you know something else I thought about this kind of the what if. Okay.

Sports What-Ifs That Rewrite History

SPEAKER_02 8:30

What if something had changed in sports and how much we would perceive teams differently? Okay. So for example, yep. What if in the early 90s Buffalo had won at least one Super Bowl? That's true.

SPEAKER_03 8:45

Because right now I like to make fun of them because they won't be three in a row, right? Four. Four in a row.

SPEAKER_02 8:49

Four. Yeah, yeah. Uh but what if they would have just won one? Yeah. We would look at that that time period as being, I mean, an extraordinarily dominant team. But they just couldn't get over the top. Yeah. Think about the Atlanta Braves. How many pennants did they win in a row? Right. Yeah. They ended up winning one, but if they'd have won uh two or three.

SPEAKER_03 9:14

What if? Yep. What if UCLA had been caught for all the cheating they were doing back? Allegedly. When they won all those. Well, I mean, think about this.

SPEAKER_02 9:23

What if Rick Patino had not left to go to Boston? Oh, yeah. That's a good one.

SPEAKER_01 9:27

What if your boy Christian Lehner misses that shot?

SPEAKER_02 9:30

Sure.

SPEAKER_03 9:30

Oh, yeah. Sure. Can't believe you said his name.

SPEAKER_02 9:32

I mean, you just just think about the end of the Petino run. Yeah. They were in three straight national championship games. Yep. You know? Yeah. I mean, just think about what would have happened had he not went to Boston. How many national championships would UK have now?

SPEAKER_03 9:49

Yeah. What had the Reds not run off Dusty Baker?

SPEAKER_02 9:53

They would still stink.

SPEAKER_01 9:57

I was so happy to see that guy go. I'm sorry.

SPEAKER_02 10:00

They would still stink. What if the Reds hadn't have traded Pete Rose? What if Marge Shott was still the owner of Red Right?

SPEAKER_03 10:06

That would have been awesome.

SPEAKER_01 10:09

It's too close to the 1936 uh Summer Olympics reference.

SPEAKER_03 10:13

Just for the record, we'd have been reading about her every day.

SPEAKER_02 10:17

That's what I took when I glanced at your text today. I was like, wait, she and Jimmy Green. Then I read it and I was like, I like that. I like that what if.

SPEAKER_03 10:25

She and Jimmy the Greek would be having conversations. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 10:29

It's a reference from way

College Football Games Worth Seeing

SPEAKER_02 10:30

back. Okay, so what so what college football game would you like to go back and see? In person, right? In person. Wow. Um mine's more recent times. Okay, well, Catholics versus convicts. Oh, yeah. Being in that stadium, I wouldn't have liked the outcome, but being in that stadium would have been great.

SPEAKER_03 10:50

Yep. Yep. Um go ahead. I don't like anytime USC played with OJ Simpson there. I don't I you could take anybody.

SPEAKER_02 10:57

With that pre or pro knife. If but pro pre or post knife.

SPEAKER_03 11:01

If the glove don't fit, you must have quit.

SPEAKER_01 11:04

Anytime OJ was at USC, I'd like to have seen him play. Yeah. Yeah. Uh they played some big games against Ohio State uh in those days.

SPEAKER_02 11:12

What Ohio State game is your favorite all-time Ohio State game.

SPEAKER_01 11:15

I I gotta be honest with you, it's super recent. Um, and it wasn't even the national championship game. It was the game against Texas in that run a year and a half ago. Yeah. Where um the game was it was 28 or it was 21-14. Texas has got the ball in the one-yard line, and those plays take place. Jack Sawyer comes around the end, sacks him, takes the fumble. I mean, that was the most exciting play I've ever seen. Right. I I was screaming like I've never, you know, like I said, that I'd like to have seen that in Texas, you know, because that's where it was uh at at the time, and that that would have been awesome.

SPEAKER_02 11:58

What if Connor Stallion had been at Michigan? It's true, it's true, right? What what if Jerry said?

SPEAKER_03 12:11

What if, what if Penn State never had a team again, which would that should be that way. Oh my gosh.

SPEAKER_01 12:17

So anyway, Chris, you you have topic. Uh yeah.

SPEAKER_03 12:20

I have a few things I've been thinking about. Yeah. Okay. So before I want to get into some more what if scenarios, I got a fair foul for you guys.

Airplane Seat Recline Etiquette

unknown 12:30

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 12:30

Is it fair or foul when you're on an airplane to lay your seat back?

SPEAKER_02 12:34

I'm against laying my seat back.

SPEAKER_01 12:36

If it's if the trip is less than three hours, no. Absolutely not.

SPEAKER_02 12:41

I I don't lay my seat back, and I don't like when people lay it back.

SPEAKER_03 12:43

I never lay my seat back. You should not lay your seat back because my knee is already against the back anyway.

SPEAKER_02 12:48

Correct. I I agree. And the first thing is that for us taller people, it's laying a seatbacks problem.

SPEAKER_03 12:54

You know what's funny about taller people?

SPEAKER_01 12:55

They sound a little tall on the radio. That's true. Uh, if the if the flight is less than three hours, absolutely no. If it's an overseas flight, I could understand why you would want to.

SPEAKER_03 13:05

But would you let the person know behind you? Hey, is it okay? Because what I've been back there before, and you'll have a cocktail or whatever, and they lay their seat back, and I mean it's shoving the tray in your stomach.

SPEAKER_01 13:14

I'll be perfectly honest with you. Well, like when we do the overseas flights, like I've already got the flight when we're going, you know, our next trip. Um, I always try to pick the the back row in front of the bulkhead so I can recline my seat with no one behind it. And that's in the like economy section. Um, so yeah.

SPEAKER_03 13:34

Anyhow, I just thought about that one because that that's a new one.

SPEAKER_02 13:37

Well, I fly next week. So that's why I brought it up. Love that.

SPEAKER_01 13:40

It does. I I don't like your seat. I'm an old man. Uh we have And you were around when planes were invented. I agree. So I can sit there like this and just drop my head like this and sleep. I don't need to recline. No, I can't do that. Choke to death. Nope, not me.

SPEAKER_02 13:57

I can't sleep on a plane, so there you go. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 13:59

Oh, I'm narcoleptic on a plane.

SPEAKER_02 14:00

They they might need me to drive fly. Look, I don't care.

SPEAKER_03 14:05

I don't care if the flight is an hour or if it's 14 hours, which my last one was, I'll be asleep.

SPEAKER_02 14:11

Jamie falls asleep before it takes off.

SPEAKER_03 14:14

Oh, that's the way I am. I don't care about look, I know how to buck and uh buckle a seatbelt.

SPEAKER_01 14:19

Can can we do a fun fact? Yeah. All right. The movie Airplane. I speak Jeff. One of our favorite movies, fantastic, hilarious movie. Do you know that the movie Airplane was almost a shot for shot remake of a previous m movie from the 1950s? No. A comedy? No. Oh, it's a very serious movie called Zero Hour. Oh wow. If you uh so tonight on Turner Classic Movies, by the way, they're playing uh yeah, they're playing Zero Hour, and uh it's it's one of the it's a terrible movie. Uh but but yeah, so they actually it's it's a shot for shot basically remake of that movie, which is with a lot of humor added in. I know. That's my fun fact.

SPEAKER_03 15:07

I have another fun fact.

SPEAKER_01 15:08

Okay, fun fact.

SPEAKER_03 15:10

Somebody stole my bell.

SPEAKER_01 15:13

Oh, it's not stolen.

SPEAKER_03 15:14

Carrie hid my bell.

SPEAKER_01 15:16

It's it's it's still in this room.

SPEAKER_03 15:18

Carrie won't let me hit the bell anymore.

SPEAKER_01 15:20

Did you notice that?

SPEAKER_03 15:22

I did notice that. Everything's been moved out of my reach now.

SPEAKER_01 15:25

Yeah, I I I had to well, I was fiddling with those cables back there. Oh, okay. Um, which is why the the screen is moved. Oh, it's good.

SPEAKER_03 15:33

Greg can see it that way too.

SPEAKER_01 15:34

Yeah, but the uh the the bell is over on in that general direction somewhere.

SPEAKER_03 15:39

So all right, so I got

Would You Rather And Moral Tests

SPEAKER_03 15:40

a few more uh scenarios for you guys. What ifs? And this is some are what ifs and some are I'm gonna start off with something a little lighter, and then I'm gonna move into something that's more close to home. Would you rather poop a pineapple or pee out a grape?

SPEAKER_01 15:57

Is this thing on? I mean, is this happening for real? I mean do we have to choose? Yes, because I don't really uh uh I'd like to poop a grape.

SPEAKER_03 16:12

You gotta choose one or the other.

SPEAKER_01 16:13

Well, definitely poop the pineapple. Yeah, I agree.

SPEAKER_03 16:16

Well, I feel like if anybody's ever had kidney stones, it feels like you peed out a grape.

SPEAKER_01 16:22

Oh, well. Was that that was lighter? Oh, I'm trapped. I'm here the ones that hit more at home.

SPEAKER_03 16:28

All right, here we go. Oh, go ahead. You're walking downtown. You're walking downtown. You're walking downtown and you gotta cross a busy street and you're running right on time for that for a meeting. You're not going to be late if you just walk straight there and go in there. Okay. But there's an elderly lady having a hard time crossing the street. Do you go late to the meeting and help the old lady cross the street? Or you say the heck with it and you go to your meeting on time? I think I know your answer.

SPEAKER_02 17:03

I would have been there 15 minutes earlier, but that's not happening.

SPEAKER_03 17:07

Not happening. For various and sundry reasons, you have to do it this way.

SPEAKER_01 17:12

I have an answer if you want me to go. Greg, do you want to go first? Doesn't matter. Go ahead. You kick the lady down, you crotch chop her, and then you run in for your meeting.

SPEAKER_03 17:25

But to do a proper crotch trot, you have to do it three times.

SPEAKER_02 17:28

What would you think my answer is?

SPEAKER_03 17:30

You will not be late.

SPEAKER_01 17:32

I would not be late. I I'm I'm an on-time person.

SPEAKER_03 17:35

I would help the old lady and then say, I helped an old lady.

SPEAKER_01 17:38

Chris, the next time you're on time will be the first time. Right, exactly.

SPEAKER_03 17:42

Look, here's my thing. I'd help the old lady.

SPEAKER_01 17:44

I'm gonna be there at six o'clock. You know what's funny? Hold on, 6.15. Right. I literally said to Carrie the other night, I'm like, 6.15 is what Chris just said when it was supposed to be 6. I guarantee it's 6:30. You know what happened? He rolls in at 6 30 on the dock.

SPEAKER_03 17:59

I drove by here. I forgot to get you. I had to come around and come back and get you tonight. So sorry. That happened. But anyhow, I'd be late because I'd help the old lady. You'd be late because you're late. Right. Just call it what it is. You know. And that's okay. Tomato tomato.

SPEAKER_01 18:14

Yeah, we we've come to expect it. It's a learning style. It's okay.

SPEAKER_02 18:19

That's the reason why I knew I could finish the hamburgers I was making. When he texted me, he goes, he goes, I'm coming to get you. And I was like, okay, it means I got 10 more minutes. I was like, I can finish things.

SPEAKER_03 18:28

But you're telling me, just for the record, you're telling me that you would rather this old lady struggle, get hit. And then you'd have to stick around for a police report if she got hit. I would already be struck. I wouldn't even be in my meeting.

SPEAKER_01 18:43

And if you're not down with that old lady, I got two words for you.

SPEAKER_03 18:49

Oh, that's good.

SPEAKER_01 18:50

So what do you what do you rather what-ifs?

SPEAKER_03 18:53

That's pretty good.

SPEAKER_01 18:54

That's a bad one. Yeah. That was good.

SPEAKER_03 18:56

I just figured that you guys. I just figured that you guys would have answered it the way you did. I would have. I thought you'd help the old lady.

SPEAKER_01 19:03

No, nope, nope. I'm sorry. I uh that's a shock. Uh look, I've just come to the end of a very long year. If you asked me, like in the end of July, when the school year is getting ready to start again, I would probably help the old lady. But you know, after being being abused for having outside graduation, and uh God forbid anyone gets rain and oh, we got a little wet. Oh uh I'm I'm not in the mood.

SPEAKER_03 19:27

Did he just go there? I heard it. I did he just talk about all the people that did you just call them whiners?

SPEAKER_01 19:33

Uh I didn't say that. I I just said that um I I need some decompression time now. Oh, well, okay.

SPEAKER_03 19:41

Yeah. Would you rather wear the same pair of underwear for two months or the same pair of socks for two months? Well, I uh uh socks.

SPEAKER_01 19:52

Socks. That's easy. Socks. No, I'm gonna stink because I got stinky, stinky feet after a couple days.

SPEAKER_03 19:58

But you know, socks you can only wear inside and out. Underwear you can wear four different ways.

SPEAKER_02 20:03

Yeah, I'm not wearing uh underwear more than a day. That was easy. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know that one took me how long did it take me to answer?

SPEAKER_01 20:12

Half a second.

SPEAKER_03 20:13

That's impressive. That one I didn't know.

SPEAKER_01 20:14

Okay, let okay, here. Let me ask you a question. This is not a what

The Cup Germ Debate Gets Real

SPEAKER_01 20:18

if. This is just a let's just say it's a hypothetical question. Oh, like that. All right. So you you've got a cup like this and you're drinking in it, you're drinking out of it all day. Okay. Night ends, you go to bed. Next morning you come up, still drink out of it, right? True. Because it's okay, right? Yeah. After you go and take a shower and brush your teeth and you come downstairs, would you still drink out of that cup from the day before? Cup didn't change. No way, no way. That's where I'm walking away. That cup goes. That cup goes right in the sink. It's got yesterday's germs on it, and I have degermified.

SPEAKER_03 20:55

Should I tell you that I never wash my coffee cup? It's got the perfect level marker on it. No, I'll I say never. About once a month I'll wash it, but I'll I'll wash it out. I'll just put it out.

SPEAKER_01 21:07

Are you as freaked out as I am right now? But I don't know.

SPEAKER_02 21:10

I know by the medical issues.

SPEAKER_03 21:13

Now we've done it with corn screen.

SPEAKER_02 21:16

Have you disclosed this to your physicians? I mean, that what that coffee is not boiling hot to kill whatever grunge is 190 degrees. It's not 212.

SPEAKER_01 21:29

It's what I can do again. Before you pour the coffee in, do you hear it humming the cup from the bacteria talking to you?

SPEAKER_03 21:36

I'm watching that with water, but I don't wash it with soap, but about once a week. Oh, jeez.

SPEAKER_01 21:41

But yet with a percent chance that that would happen. Do you have Pure El or anything like that? That stuff's terrible.

SPEAKER_02 21:54

I've never pass hand sanitizer up.

SPEAKER_01 21:56

SPEAKER_03 22:10

Okay, then let's let's do this. This will help our audience who doesn't know what we look like. They don't know.

SPEAKER_01 22:17

Oh, we're gonna change that, by the way. We're doing this video moving forward. We're just trying to figure out how to do it.

SPEAKER_03 22:26

But for our many of our listeners who don't know what we look like, let's just look at our hands amongst the three of us. Okay. Yes. Greg has never met a callus. I have sensitive hands, but I work. Mark.

SPEAKER_02 22:41

SPEAKER_03 22:57

You have staff. Servant is what you have. I have. I thought you meant staff isn't staff infections. More smoke when I've got too much. Could also be accurate. You could palm a pumpkin.

SPEAKER_02 23:09

I could palm a pumpkin. I mean, it's like your hands are on Dread the Giant.

SPEAKER_03 23:23

I have more scars on my hands and broken fingers and twisted knuckles and things like that.

SPEAKER_03 24:22

Oh Kennedy, what did I do already?

SPEAKER_01 24:24

There's a and that's not even in that pill box. I have six pills that I take every day that come out of that. But there's one other pill that I have to take in the morning that's as a blue one. I only take one of those every three, four weeks whenever that is needed as necessary.

I go in there and then I'll take it, or then I'll be like, Did I just take that? Take another one for no, I'm now I'm gonna get 40 milligrams. Is that too much?

SPEAKER_03 25:38

Maybe you need to look at things for brain fog. Maybe you should have coffee from a mug that never gets washed.

SPEAKER_02 25:44

Uh yeah, that's just maybe you shouldn't need some methylation blue or whatever it's called.

SPEAKER_01 25:50

Or a or a silver dollar or a half dollar, whatever.

SPEAKER_01 30:40

How about the log cabin glass bottles that had four different things on them? Yes. Okay.

SPEAKER_03 30:46

I have no idea. Why are you talking about it? Why is none of this happening now? Why isn't that government doing anything? Why are we minting things? Well, because we're too consistent. We got rid of the pennies.

SPEAKER_02 30:55

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 30:55

And we're coming up with a $250 bill.

SPEAKER_02 30:57

I'm totally down with getting rid of the pennies, by the way. I have no issue with that.

SPEAKER_01 31:01

How does that benefit the billionaire class? If you can't answer that question, then.

SPEAKER_03 31:05

Are you asking me? I mean, no, I'm saying that's you weren't you weren't asking me my opinion. Well, because you're in the billionaire class.

SPEAKER_02 31:13

Yes, I agree. So that's the reason why he was asking you.

SPEAKER_01 31:16

Are you more Elon Musk money or more?

SPEAKER_02 31:20

And I think you've done a good job keeping your name off the billionaire list that are publicly available. You've done good on that.

SPEAKER_01 31:26

But we know about the island list that he's on.

SPEAKER_02 31:29

Right.

SPEAKER_01 31:30

Correct. We won't mention what that is.

SPEAKER_03 31:32

Seriously, though, why aren't we doing it's 250 years? Which is when you go to Europe, 250 years is a drop of a hat. But why why aren't we doing anything?

unknown 31:41

SPEAKER_03 31:56

Um you've already offended the rest of them.

SPEAKER_01 31:58

Yeah. So look up a uh John Stewart clip from the other night. So it had been Monday night, I guess. It's a political statement. Yeah. Yeah. Um, he talks about the the concert, the two 250. And he plays a clip from the like lead singer of CC and the Music Factory or whatever. C Music Factory is gonna make you sweat. T Bleed. Okay. T Bleed. That's what they say. I highly encourage you boys to watch that clip. As a matter of fact, at the end of this, I will pull it up for you to see. It is fantastic. Excuse me. Wella pull it up. I don't even know who I'm looking for.

SPEAKER_03 32:35

You're looking for that little man again. Um I just think it's a shame we're not. I mean, I thought we'd all be excited.

SPEAKER_02 32:42

So let me ask you, you boys like concerts. You know how much I love them. Yeah. So one of the most popular people in music right now, with the young people you guys wouldn't be familiar with. No idea is a person named Phoebe Bridges.

SPEAKER_03 32:59

Never heard of her.

SPEAKER_02 33:00

I have no idea. She's been doing these she'll have these concert tour dates that she'll just show up at a random place and it'll be like they'll let they'll announce it at like eight in the morning. She's gonna be there that night.

SPEAKER_03 33:11

Oh, she did it at the borough. A couple weeks ago. That's her. Never heard of her, though.

SPEAKER_02 33:15

Uh real popular with people like Hallie's H. She's doing a show in Madison Square Garden tomorrow. Okay? Okay. How much do you think the tickets worth for?

SPEAKER_01 33:26

There was a range. Probably it's in Madison Square Garden. $25. I'm gonna go cheap seats, $150.

SPEAKER_02 33:37

If you bought them not black market, if you could get them when they you you had to register on our webpage, $70. You could choose between a dollar and twenty dollars. Twenty dollars was the most expensive.

SPEAKER_03 33:50

That's awesome.

SPEAKER_02 33:51

So I knew it had to be. Why can't other artists do concerts?

SPEAKER_03 33:57

Unless you do it like Kid Rock did, who just said, I'm doing distribution myself, because Ticketmaster and all those guys were charging such absorbent fees.

SPEAKER_02 34:05

Well, I I do know that Ticketmaster has a system where the price changes depending on what the demand is.

SPEAKER_03 34:11

Correct.

SPEAKER_02 34:13

But yeah, her tickets were a dollar. Wow. And and part of that money went to charities. That's awesome. Uh and it went up to $20. Well, she's got a concert in Madison.

SPEAKER_03 34:24

So here's the thing. Obviously, she's not having to pay for the venue.

SPEAKER_02 34:27

I assume not.

SPEAKER_03 34:30

I never heard of her. What's her name again? Phoebe Cates. Phoebe Bridges. Not Phoebe Cates. Sorry, I just had a hell out there for those of you who know. If not, oh, you didn't know? got
