No Crying In Baseball

Patti 0:00
Music, Hi and welcome to Episode 405 of no crying in baseball. The is today, the day I meet Adley Rutchman episode. My name is Patti. I'm here with my friend, Pottymouth. Hey, Pottymouth.

Pottymouth 0:28
Hey, there. I'm gonna take a gamble and say no nothing, not for you, not for me. But hold that

Patti 0:33
thought. Someone tell you about somebody else got to meet Adley Rutchman today. It was pretty sweet.

Pottymouth 0:36
Wow. And you're not jealous at all.

Patti 0:40
No, because No, I would, yeah. This was a very special thing and that, yeah, okay, so hold that thought. All right, we'll do, are you still kind of, like, super happy because we had a great day yesterday. It's

Pottymouth 0:51
so nice to, like, have a good day in this day and age like that we're dealing through, and just to have like, two fun events back to back, yep, it's kind of like back to back home runs. It didn't feel like that. And both

Patti 1:03
of them were like, about community in different ways, and that also feels really good. It was like being with people who care about things that I care about, the things that you care about. And you know, it wasn't. It was a little political, because everything's a little bit political, but mainly it was just about, here's what we believe in, here's what how things should be, and we want to help our friends, our neighbors, the people who live near us, people who don't live near us, who have dreams and hopes that we can help them achieve

Pottymouth 1:31
all those things. So event number one was the see her be her screening at the Georgetown AMC Dolby, yeah. So like, fancy theater with, like, reclining seats and a whole bunch of our best friends on the panel, because there were four, if you count Jeff as moderator, former interviewees on no crying in baseball, who were involved. And that was Jean frue and Jeff idleson, who were the producers, and Gene did the photography or the video for see her be her. And then also cat Williams, who's been on twice, esteemed author and President of International Women's baseball center. And also Justine Segal, rock star, head of baseball for all first woman coach, first woman batting practice, lots of getting women to play baseball

Patti 2:19
and taking the leadership on the new professional women's baseball league coming up, which is very cool, huge,

Pottymouth 2:24
which you asked about, which was like the current status. And the current status is her working her ass off, right,

Patti 2:30
for sure. And we also met a young woman who, you know, is playing college baseball, I think she just graduated, but played college baseball on the, you know, the US Women's baseball team, the woman who's like the highest ranking woman at in the front office for the nationals, who we may have on the show later. We hope we just seemed interested in that, and we'd love to talk to her about a whole bunch of things. And also, the woman who runs the is at the eastern women's baseball conference and works with the Nationals Academy also, and so a lot of different aspects of baseball were represented working with kids, women playing baseball, the history of women playing baseball, the things you can do that are baseball adjacent. If you know baseball as a sport isn't the thing you're good at, but boy, you love it. Here's other things you can there's so many things represented how, you know, the arts, it was great, yeah. And I like, I like the diverse crowd that was there two little kids and grown ups. And, yeah, sure,

Pottymouth 3:30
sure. Huge representation from DC girls baseball, who is, like, a co sponsor of it. But, you know, Word to the wise folks, we delayed, and actually, on our last episode, we were like, oh shit. We got to get tickets after we record. And we went on, and they were sold out. So I would suggest that you check and see if they're coming to your town, New York City. Already happened. It was the night after ours, and it was also sorted sold out. And Veronica Alvarez was on their panel, and she's in the movie, especially she's just, yeah, amazing. And seeing it on the big screen also like a moment for that comment, great film, and so different than the like you had talked about the MLB broadcast, with all the ads, right? Yeah, all

Patti 4:11
the weird cuts for commercial seeing every like, there are a lot of scene setting VISTAs like, yeah, like the big things that look better. But also, as you mentioned, the close ups, the emotion on the girls faces, the women's faces, as things were happening, and then they were making things happen. It was so meaningful on that beautiful, beautiful presentation of the big screen, and seeing it start to finish was great. So grassroots baseball.org I think, is the site you go to to see what's left on the list of cities. Try to go, if you can. It was so worth it. A different panel in every city. And

Pottymouth 4:43
if you can't, you can get it on the Amazon Prime. I feel like you should get, like, a Get Out of Jail Free card to get this very one special thing on Amazon. Because overall, not a fan of supporting Amazon, however, very much a fan of supporting this movie. So. That was the start of our day. Then,

Patti 5:01
then we came back home, and, you know, we did our most important volunteer work that we do all here around it was because it was for a good cause, right? It was for a good cause. So locally, the Tacoma Foundation supports grant making to to small, community based nonprofits, community groups who who serve the residents of takoma park in a bunch of ways, and those are little grants, but the groups are also small, so that little bit of money is sort of like life changing. It enables programs to happen that wouldn't have happened otherwise. Much of the funding for those grants comes from this annual Beer Fest fundraiser, and we do our best, me the potty mouths and some of our other best friends, poor beer. Yeah, and we get to, you know, hang out with our, you know, Tacoma Park friends and neighbors who are, you know, paying a nice donation to get in that door to socialize. It's, you know, it's always been called like, Takoma Park's favorite night out. Yeah, and there's, there's good food, there's good beer, there's people from breweries who are there to chat with, you know, their public officials are there, you know, your neighbors are there. It's like, wasn't so excited about the free range dogs, because the free range dogs were wreaking a little bit of habit because they were unattended. Yeah, yeah. There was a little bit of stuff we don't want to talk about, you know, maybe in a way that, you know, people can hear if they had a podcast. But, okay, that wasn't great, but, um, but it was fun, and we know that that money people paid to get in the door is going to get reinvested in. Reinvested in our

Pottymouth 6:23
community. Yeah, and I like that. I mean, I feel a little mixed, because it used to be at a location that was really close to Metro, but it's nice to be at the VFW, also to sort of spotlight the VFW, which is a great local dive bar, essentially, that anybody can go there drink for cheap, and they have good music, and it's a fun place to go. And

Patti 6:42
I think we should not downplay the fact that this could be our retirement career, because both of us actually qualify for the Ladies Auxiliary, because each of us has a dad who fought in a foreign war, who was a veteran of a foreign war, so we actually qualify. And the only people we know in the Ladies Auxiliary are the women who bartend right there? And I think, you know what?

Pottymouth 7:03
That's a good double. We could do that. I We got handed applications a while ago. I think I still have mine two years.

Patti 7:12
I do so I think, I think I want my birthday party there, because there's a big party that's sad. I want to do my birthday party. I'm gonna go say this is for me. Thank you.

Pottymouth 7:19
Okay, that's great. We could get arranged for a hat or something. I'm a baseball cap person, but there you go, baseball cap. Oh, my God, all right. I was gonna say one quick thing about dis, like, safety with home run celebrations. So the Red Sox home run celebration is a pudding, actual, like, helmet that looks like wall E. So, you know, Wall E, the Red Sox mascot. That's a green fuzzy animal. It looks like a big old muppet.

Patti 7:45
I thought you said like wall E, like the Pi star movie. Yeah, that would be pretty cool

Pottymouth 7:49
also. But this, this wall E is green and fuzzy and happy. And, you know, he's kind of grown on me as green, fuzzy, happy dudes grow on fuzz. Yes, I see where you're going. The Red Sox, you know, are breaking my heart on an every other daily basis. But they had a good game this this week where they had five home runs in the first three innings. Sweaty men putting on the wall e helmet, one after another after another. And I'm just thinking, somebody's got to get a good disinfectant there, because that just doesn't sound really

Patti 8:17
Yeah. Going back to our like, preschool Co Op days, I think sharing head gear, yeah, exactly. Only go bad. Oh,

Pottymouth 8:24
man, if a lice epidemic via Wally, that would be terrible. All right? Well, it depends on who has hair.

Patti 8:35
All of a sudden, the Yankees come out as heroes. See short hair less of a risk, right?

Pottymouth 8:41
But they don't have a fucking mascot, so there we go. Oh

Patti 8:44
my god. Oh my god. On today's show our boyfriends feature batteries, adleys, Bradleys, apologies and trolling dear old dad. We're following from great heights. We're cross training with aircraft and horseback. We've got some white house visits and Miami Vice cheers. All right, which, which, back. Oh. Okay, so we drank right. Our starting beer was, was power boots, a dry hopped lager brought to us by silver branch. And this is a an annual beer that is brewers, a collaboration between women brewers in the in the DC area. And it's very delicious. Power boots is by the pink. Pink boots brew is sort of like the overall thing, and it was very delicious. And we're about and it's also empty, it's empty. And we're about to open our second beer, which is going to be, you pick. I'll pour while

Pottymouth 9:32
I talk. I uh, oh, wait, who's Oh, I'm talking first. So we're gonna have Ponzi. So we're gonna have some

Patti 9:38
Ponzi Atlas brewery. I mean, it's Ponzi IPA.

Pottymouth 9:41
Nothing to do with social security folks, not a Ponzi, all right, but this Ponzi, ooh, is a little foamy. It's

Patti 9:48
like you carried it all the way from a Beer Fest,

Pottymouth 9:51
yeah? All right, so baseball boyfriends. This is what we do on this podcast. On the off season, we picked guys because we thought they were cool, and now we. Talk about them. And my theme lately has been injuries, as a lot of folks in our fantasy league have been co commviating about it. And today I'm focusing on focusing on the battery of injury, which is not battery injury due to battery however, it is the pitches and the catches, and so I've got to I have d backs pitching. So while we take great care to individually pick our position players, we get a flock of pitchers, and I picked the flock of D backs. And it's been like just a merry go round, on and off the i l and I haven't known which end is up, and I'm I was just trying to keep a full stack of pictures, and I had that fireson Jamison thing, and then I and I know I just butchered firesons name, because it's not it, there's another syllable there. But last week I talked, we talked about how it was just on brand for me to pick Jameson, because I edit with whiskey, and that's the thing. And so we just finished recording last week, and I was should have gotten the Jameson, but I looked in the bar and and there was no Jameson. There was whiskey I had to drink, the good stuff, you know, following a sword. But we usually have a bottle of Jameson. This is like the thing to have anyway, right after I started drinking my non brand whiskey, Jameson got sent down. Swear to God, I feel very responsible. So

Patti 11:25
then you didn't have Jameson, and neither did Arizona. Right, right?

Pottymouth 11:30
Everyone's out of Jamison. That is the punchline for sure. I clearly need to do a Packy run. That's your vocabulary lesson for this week, folks, if you don't know, friends from New England packing run is the lica Jameson was not doing poorly. He had only pitched three innings and had a three era. So I'm hoping that we get more toasts to his name in the future. Justin Martinez, however, who I was counting on as my guy that was going to be in there every day as a closer, because he finally had the closer shot spot to himself. He is on the i L I'm hoping it's short. They said there was no structural damage on the MRI. However, he has an inflamed shoulder. He could be back may 16, so that is after next week's podcast. So we'll wait a while for an update, but good news, Kevin Ginkel, who I had put on my starting lineup despite the fact that he did not start the season, oops, he is now off the i L, and they threw him right into the fire first game of the season. Run around second two outs in the seventh inning, he let up a walk and then got the out scoreless the next day. However, he did let up a solo home run to Juan Soto, as one does, got a couple guys on base and then stranded them. So overall, Mr. Ginkel, who it was part of, like a three way lawyer situation, I think, like the and Ginkel LLC, well, yep, for sure. So I'm hoping to get that that legal situation back in gear, but hopeful for Mr. Ginkel Corbin burns, one of my starters, is now day to day with a shoulder inflammation. But the remarkable thing about that is he missed his first start since 2020 he had not missed a start. Wow, yeah, you really are the curse of injury. Holy, I guess. Yeah, I know. I'm like, Well, you see, you do have power. Yep, so strong, so strong. However, sometimes guys get better, like Mr. Ginkel and Mr. Wong. So Connor Wong is indeed back, and I should have listened to myself last week and put him on my lineup after I announced that he was almost back because he was on the Wu socks last week, when I when we recorded, so he played, he did not play today, and I man, so he played Friday, and I didn't think to put him on my on my roster, and he got a hit, and then he played yesterday, so I remember to put him on the roster. He got another hit. So that's not so bad, better than no hits. And then today, I was so excited about Wong, I kept him on my roster without checking that he did get a day off after two days on that little pinky. Need a little bit of rest. I'm thinking that one of the great things about him is his relationship with the pitchers, because Brian Bao had very solid outing with with Mr. Wong nice behind the plate, although now the Red Sox have been thrown up, and everybody's saying who's on first. Like I said, Who's on First last week, with the Red Sox are saying who's on first, and Red Sox Nation is like, all sorts of predictions of who's gonna play first base, because portrays, and Cass has ruptured his patella tendon, and he's out for the season. Poor guy. I feel so bad for him, especially watching the clubhouse, which I'll talk about later. But like, he was injured for a lot of last year, and very sad about it, and so it was super sad to see his face in the little like wheelchair kind of thing, being carted off. Like, oh fuck. He's out for the season again, so we need somebody on first base. He has money. Granddad. I talked about last week, backup catcher who isn't with the wussoc, who could have opted out on May 1 and did not. So he's sticking it out. He could be brought up and Connor Wong could be put on first base. He had a lot of time in first base last year. However, we do need him with the relationship with the pitcher, so I think there's going to be, like, a little bit of a revolving door situation. Also von Grissom, my previous boyfriend from last year, who I asked because he was just not getting any time. But he, as of today, has his fifth start at first base. All right, so they're looking there, and I'm thinking about Ben rice from my fantasy team. But I haven't done any action yet. You haven't done any action. So there's no rights for you, actually, because no, he's been taken. Holy fuck. You don't pay attention to those. Do you? Well, I kind of usually do who took? We'll talk later. Oh man. All right. All right. Well, I got scooped. All right. Power to you. Whoever took them? I'm guessing maybe the kids. No, no, no, not the kids. He's not Canadian. All right,

Patti 16:03
okay, so there's nine to go. So hey, so Kyle Stowers, my Miami boyfriend, continues to light things up. He's my favorite notification to get. Kyle Stowers hit a home run. Kyle Stowers hit another home run. So yesterday we're recording on Sunday, like we usually do. So yesterday was Saturday. That was when the Marlins previewed their magic city, retro Wave City connect uniforms, which we're going to talk about later on. No opinions, yeah. Who had your opinions? Biting the tongue, no matter what you think of hotly look they worked for Miami. They may never take off these jerseys. They had a five run ninth inning, which included a walk off Grand Slam from the aforementioned Kyle Stowers also walked off opening day. Wow. So he's kind of like their walk off, walk off guy right now. It was the first walk off Grand Slam for the franchise since John Carlos Stanton did it in 2014 what Kyle Stowers says was surreal. Blackout. Family was here today, wife, her parents, some other friends. Always cool to do it in front of people that love and care about me. That's why you play the game for moments like that, just to have the opportunity is special. Very nice. So the ball he hit, thrown by all star closer, Mason Miller, was 101.7 miles per hour, which was the fastest pitch that a Marlin has hit for a home run in the pitch tracking era, which means, since 2008 was the first time they started actually measuring those things. Also, not to downplay it, he also hit a two run homer in the third. Oh, man. So that's his second two run home, two home run game in three games. Holy shit. So yay for Krause hours. Feel feeling good about that. And again, I'm glad that the Orioles traded you, because now you're playing every day, and look what you're doing. Yeah, it's a good opportunity for you. I've always liked this kid. Yay for him. Yay for him. So my once and forever boyfriend, Adley Richmond, met his number one preschooler. Preschooler fan. Oh, that's shades of adorable four year old. Bradley lives in Frederick, Maryland, which is just up the road from us and just kind of over from Baltimore. So he loves Adley Richmond so much that he imitates him, like how he plays his moves. If he hears, if you watch the highlight reel, he repeats the calls for the highlights he did, like this countdown to opening day. So his mom's like, Okay, this is just too freaking cute. So she started recording things, putting them on Tiktok. And of course, everybody who knows Ali Richmond said, Hey, see this kid. See this kid. So, you know, he recorded a quick little happy birthday for the kid at the time. He's like, You know what? That's not enough. This kid is amazing. So we'd let's bring him and his family to the park. So arrangements were made a while for a while back. And his mom said, every single day, Bradley woke up and said, Is today the day I get to meet Ali Richmond? My God, well, Bradley today was that day, so he and his parents and another family friend were invited to come before the game started today, the O's versus Kansas City to do like a meet and greet. The photos are great. It's got like it's Adley down in the catcher's crouch right next to Bradley, little four year old, Bradley in full uniform, in his catcher's crouch next to Adley Richmond, you know, and Adley gave him batting gloves, and he assigned his jersey and all of that. And what Adley said about it was, it's such a perspective thing, just thinking about how I was at that age, how much I loved baseball and looking up to guys, and kind of putting myself back in that age and that mindset. It's just awesome to see a kid who's so enthused about the Orioles and about baseball, and then later he kind of reflected on it and said, a lot of times you get caught up in just playing and you're focused on the game, game, game, game we're playing every day. You get caught up in your routine and stuff. Then something like that kind of brings you back to earth a little bit. And the fact of the matter that people are watching you on a daily basis and how you carry yourself and how you play as a ball player, a kid like, like that, seeing that, yeah, and making an impression, definitely a humbling thing. So he kind of gets that whole role model thing. He's like, he's very aware of that. And the photos were, in fact, adorable. So cheers, we're drinking. Too adorable. And yeah, so pretty cool. Pretty, pretty cool.

Pottymouth 20:25
That is, I love how they rhyme. Ali and Bradley, I don't know that that was intentional,

Patti 20:29
but it might have been because his parents are owes fans from way back. Sure, he's got an older brother, but he did not have a baseball name. I don't think. I can't remember what it was now, James Wood, I just briefly going to mention him. My Washington boyfriend, had his first four hit game of the season yesterday in the 11 to six victory over Cincinnati, which was good because the Reds have been winning the other games. I want to circle back to Pete crow Armstrong, who I talked about last week because he was born in Los Angeles, and he has been doing exceedingly well against the Dodgers, and he plays for the Chicago Cubs. There's no part of that story. First, let me just say he's had three home runs in two games. His he has nine home runs for the season, which has him in a six way tie, which includes James Wood for the second most in the National League, right? Kyle Schwarber and Eugenio Suarez each have 10. Wow. And then there's six guys with nine, including Peter Armstrong, but his dad was a Cubs fan. So you grew up in, you know, outside of Chicago. So even though they were living in Los Angeles, his dad kept trying to get him to be a Cubs fan. And when things started, like turning around for the Cubs, but there was maybe things were going to happen. So Pete was about nine years old at that time, and his dad says, I said to Pete, they're bad now, yeah, but they're gonna be good eventually, and if you're not on board by then, you're not on the bandwagon. Dude. You have to suffer in order to join, right? And I'm all for that, you know, Cleveland girl, you're all for that. I mean, no, you gotta be with them through think of that. Yep. So Pete is kind of my mom would have called him a pill. So instead of saying, Sure, Dad, I'll root for the Cubs, He rooted for Boston for a little while. He rooted for the Cardinals for a little while. His dad, Matt, said, I'm convinced there was some part of him that was, I won't say sadistic, but he wanted to screw with me as much as possible. He was calling me at a very young age. But then, you know, talking about him playing for the Cubs, playing for his dad's, you know, like childhood favorite team. He said, Listen, if he was a cardinal, I'd be wearing cardinal red. He's my number one rooting in house that it was the Cubs was kind of like this insane wrinkle. No, so that's my story. I'm sticking with

Pottymouth 22:33
awesome. That's awesome. He's a character too. All right. So, um, past guys that we've picked in past years. We don't get to keep except for one, but I like to check in on them, especially when they're guys that I sort of got left hanging with. So Riley Green, I actually now swear to God. Hand to God. I wrote in the notes Riley Green touch wood on like Tuesday, because on Tuesday he had the night the day before, he had gotten a two home run, two home runs in a loss against Houston. But I was just happy to see that he was playing and healthy and doing well, because I picked him back in 2023 where he had just missed a whole season because of fouling a pitch off his foot, and then he ended up missing most of 23 doing due to a stress fracture. And then last year he got fucked up with a hamstring. So he spent, he's known for being on the IL but a guy with a lot of potential, and so I was just happy to see him. And then all this news happened Friday night, because he made the first in history, first in MLB history, guy to have two home runs in the ninth inning. Oh, wow, wow. That like, over, you know, overshadowed his two home run game. Like, yeah, two home runs in a game, impressive, but two home runs in the ninth inning, and the first one was against Kenley Jansen. So the so the Detroit had quite a ninth inning. The game itself was super tight. It was one to one going into the ninth it was a scuba versus Soriano game, and the tiger Tigers ended up winning nine to one. So that's an eight run ninth inning, Riley started off. He was the first batter hit a home run against Kenley Jansen. Who? Mind you, Kenley Jensen had not given up a run so far this year, so he was clearly off on Friday night, Riley got the first home run Colt Keith followed up second batter, the next home run, Jansen managed two outs and a single before Javi Baez got another home run and they finally pulled Kenley two after two more hits, actually, after that, Jake Edgar get in, gets in, lets up a wild pitch run and then a walk, and then another Riley Green home run. And that was the end of the ninth inning, so he got the first home run of the ninth and the last home run of the ninth inning. So that's guy number one of the past. I want to talk about um guy number two, Jaren Duran, we talked about briefly last week, so you all knew a lot more than we did when, when we spoke, when you heard last week's podcast, right? Because we just heard about a Cleveland fan chirping at him, and we didn't know what the chirp was, and we sort of supposed, well, maybe this fan was correcting him. Well, in fact, no, the fan said something inappropriate related to his suicide attempt. That's the official line. It was, I mean, I've heard various renditions of it, but it was, you know, to the effect of you should have killed yourself, which is just a horrible, horrible on all levels. Duran said, the fans just said something inappropriate. I'm just happy that security handled it and the umpires were aware of it, and they took care of it for me, the Guardians did the right thing. Huge apology and huge credit to guardians fans, because they all pointed the guy out and he was removed. So the fans did the right thing, the teams did the right thing. You know, Duran took it the right way. He said, When you open yourself up like that, you open yourself up to enemies. Cody Bellinger had a comment of it on it also, and said, Banham to the about the fans, oh, hell yes, be able to be back in a stadium for sure. I'm all for that. Sure. I'm all for that. So this takes me, and we've been watching the clubhouse, you know, the Netflix series on the Red Sox from last year, for which you would think should be a boring thing for a 500 team, but it's actually very fascinating. And maybe that's my Red Sox bias. It probably is. But also, there's a lot of characters in there. And Jaren Duran, especially with the whole episode around his suicide attempt, is very sympathetic and very endearing. And so I went back to his original apology, because also last night post Beer Fest. So maybe this also, like clouded my glasses a little bit, we watched the episode where he had said his homophobic slur against a fan, and so that came up, and I went back and I reread his original apology, and I know I've been very critical of it, but in rereading it, and having heard his voice so much, it sounded really genuine, it sounded more genuine that I had given him credit for to begin with. However, you know, there's always the where are the next steps? The only thing that kind of irked me a little bit is when I reread it, I saw that he had said this. It was a horrific word. And then when we watched the clubhouse last night, that horrific word quote didn't come from him. It came from somebody else on Red Sox staff. So then I was like, Well, maybe he did get credit with the apologies. So I was kind of wavering back and forth. It was super endearing to see the focus and vulnerable to see the focus on his family. Also throughout both of these his dad doesn't come out as being very sympathetic. It was like a tough love dad, and you can see that a lot of his insecurities came from wanting to live up to his dad's expectations. But his dad is interviewed and his mom is interviewed, and like a mom to mom, thing also is the mom saying you don't want to see your kid suffer like this, and his statement about the actual suicide attempt also came out for Netflix, like his, he had to have that conversation with his parents after it came out for the film. So there's a lot his parents aren't aware of this. They were aware of his mental health struggles, but it seems like they weren't actually aware of that. That's huge. That's really, really bad. Yeah, and his mom. I mean, as a mom to mom, thing, sure, it's super hard to see her, you know, crying about it. So I feel like my next step, you know, I talked about last week how I've been trying to DM to Duran over, you know, the past couple years with nothing. I feel like I should message his mom. So I've been thinking about that and sort of thinking about how to, how to, how to start it to say, like, I'm a mom of a 20 something, you're a mom of a 20 something. I can totally relate to even though your kid's grown up. You don't want to see your kid struggle like that and suffer like that. And I admire your your, you know, bravery in coming up for the the Netflix special, and for him being this, this, you know, example. And you know, everything that he does also refers to the suicide hotlines, and they've gotten a lot more, you know, foot traffic, whatever the word is for, for phone calls, whenever something like that comes up. So that's a positive thing. However, have you thought about how that statement that he made disproportionately affects kids like mine, who are queer and that, you know? And I looked up the stats for. Um, Trevor Project and LGBTQ youth are four times as likely to attempt suicide. So I feel like a mom to mom thing, and all I want is for him to do something visible, the apology. Hopefully it was genuine, step one. It was step one. Step done, right? Right? It's exactly. It's not step done. He's done a lot of other cool shit. There's been stuff with him, going to the hospital and working with the Jimmy fund. And he, this is just his weekend. He went to the Andover Little League parade spontaneously and spoke. He has a foundation that I can't find anything about, except for the fact that the T shirts benefit it. So, you know, his fuck them T shirts. And now there's another brand doing that. There's a new fuck 'em 2.0 that's being sold, and it says it's going to this foundation. But what is this foundation? How about that foundation? Support, you know, LGBTQ youth who are being affected. And also, you know, when he's when he's putting out this 998 which is the, you know, suicide hotline. The funding is now projected to be cut for the LGBTQ line, so when you first call the hotline, you can identify yourself. And in the past, it's been funneled over to the travel Trevor Project, but now with the fucking US government Di Di bullshit that they're cutting anything that has to do with vulnerable populations. Suicide Hotline is federally funded. We, uh, apparently, yeah, the 988 official but, but, and it seems like, though, the part that they're going to cut is just this LGBTQ sideline, because all lives matter, right? Exactly. So everybody should get the same hotline. These gay kids don't need their aunt, which is, you know, like, look at the fucking stats. Look at the fucking stats. And you need somebody who's going to be knowledgeable and be able to help these kids. So I need to craft that. And I did look up, you know, I went through his Instagram, found her Instagram, so I guess I have to report back next week. Yeah, you do. I

Patti 32:06
hope, I hope you can make I'd be curious to see how that turns out. You're talking about a private conversation, yeah, yeah. All

Pottymouth 32:12
right, fascinating, mom to mom. All right. I want to end on a light note before I shut up for a minute. Um, which is and I can't sing, but I want to say our names are yard, Yadier, Benji and Jose, and there's a million bottles we had to catch. You can't I can't sing Hamilton, but I appreciate Yeah, so Lin Manuel, Miranda is from Vega alto Puerto Rico, which the Molina brothers are also from, and he's apparently going to be writing a movie, I guess, a musical, about the Molina brothers. They have, you know, one of the, I don't know how many three brother groups there are who have played in MLB, but Benji started in 98 Jose, 99 and good old Yadier, who is my baseball boy from pick from 2018 started in oh four, which means that they played together from oh four to 2010 and they each played in MLB for over 13 years. So like as far as baseball brother trios go, this has got to be above and beyond, beyond. And they all have World Series rings, one for Benji, two for Jose and the golden boy has four gold gloves that would be Yadier, one Silver Slugger, two World Series rings, 19 years with the Cardinals. There's no word on offering his, I believe nephew Jose mili I now I didn't write that down because I had picked cousin Jose Miranda, right? Is a cousin, I think, who's on the twins. And I think that's right, and I should have known that, because I don't worry people tell us 2023 twins. So you know, songwriting is just wide open now for subbing in possibilities for sure, sure, send in your favorites. I like

Patti 33:59
it. I like it. On a very serious note, you may be aware of this story. Kevin Mark Wood, age 20 on Wednesday night at PNC Park, at a at a pirates Cubs game fell 21 feet. He was in the stands. He was at the railing at the Clemente wall, which is 21 feet, because never 21 it's in right field. So he apparently, so Andrew McCutchen hit a two run double cabin was celebrating. He jumped up and apparently fell over. There are mixed reports. Fell over a 36 inch high railing, which is three feet high. That's kind of a hit the wall on the way down. And if you see the video, he does some somersaults, lands horribly on the warning track. They you know, there's like a several minutes where, you know, the medical attention, the game is stopped. The game picks up later after he is removed from the field. I. Uh, he, you know, goes to the hospital critical condition, right? So there's investigations. What happened? What happened? So it was determined. I It's unclear. I know there was an investigation by the pirates. I don't there had to have been also sort of a law enforcement level of investigation. But everyone determined that it was an accident. So they had the video. So they had the video that they could review. They interviewed fans that were sitting nearby. They analyzed the credit card receipts for that group, the kids friends, because they want to know about alcohol consumption, right? So it they now know that seven beers were purchased within the group. They were purchased legally by people were who were of age. Kevin was 20. He was not of age. He apparently consumed two beers, no judgment, no reports on whether he was intoxicated or not, you know. And then you get, like, the the reports from people sitting around, some people saying, oh yeah. And like, sometimes, how do you tell I'm pretty enthusiastic at games? I don't get I can't afford to get drunk in Facebook, so there's that. But anyway, so I mean, also it's like, is this what we're focused right? But maybe, but maybe because, if it was because he was intoxicated, then that's where you put your actions to prevent that from happening? Yeah, right. So I do get that a little bit I want it to not be about blaming. I want to be about finding solutions for prevention. So apparently, so his health update as of yesterday is he's awake, alert, able to speak. His girlfriend's mom set up a Go Fund Me to pay for medical expenses. There's like $28,000 in it as of yesterday, and so that his mom was the one who kind of reported to the Go Fund Me page on his status and how he's doing. The bigger context we have reported you know that other fans have had terrible falls in baseball parks. Two fans have died as a result. One was in Arlington in 2011 one was in Atlanta in 2015 one of those led to a change in the height of the railing. So what you need to know is the railing height is determined by local codes. You know what's your building code, right? And then based on using that as the baseline, then the team can make a decision on what it wants to do. Whoever's designed in the ballpark makes that decision right? So in all of these cases, local codes say 26 inches is plenty. So PNC Park was already 36 inches. Right? In Arlington, it was they raised it from 30. It was already 30, so it's already a little bit better. They raised it to 42 inches after that 2011 event and Atlanta, it was already, it was 30 inches. Also, they don't think they changed it, but again, it was, it was still four inches higher than was required. So they're all legal. They were all legal, and they were all beyond that. Yeah, apparently not enough. Maybe that's not the only thing you talk about. But so you know, those are going to get reviewed. That's going to get reviewed probably league wide in the way that netting, what like foul ball netting was reviewed and changed. Remember, there was a horrible injury to a two year old in Houston in 2019 which, which then resulted in league wide changes to what the regulations are, the letting the netting extends all the way down the foul line now and all of that. Also, one of the things that's been moved around a little bit is when last call happens. You know, it used to be at the end of the seventh inning. Now that the pace of play has increased, the speed of the game, sometimes they move that later, because you got to get those extra dollars in. So that's kind of a moving target. That may be something that gets addressed if they decide that alcohol had some influence on this happen. I think when they say it was an accident, what they mean was nobody pushed him,

Pottymouth 38:53
yeah, or he and he didn't jump on purpose, right,

Patti 38:57
right? Yes, those two. So we, we believe, everyone believes those two things are true. It doesn't mean there weren't other factors, but it does mean nobody pushed him. He didn't say, I'm gonna jump onto the field. So, yeah, those are the things. I mean, he got up to celebrate. He was excited about this double oh my god, you know. And so in the like, I think one of those other instant incidents was actually somebody trying to get a foul ball. That was not what was happening here. So somebody's really happy and jumping up and down.

Pottymouth 39:26
And the effect on the players. Like to see the quotations from the players who are in the game, because they're It's horrific to have to watch that, and then you got to go back and do your job right. And

Patti 39:35
the players were the ones who were like, waving the medical staff on the field, because the outfielders are right there, and they so, like it was, you know that the video exists. You can see the video with little highlight that shows this guy, like it is. I read the stories many times, and then I saw the video, and the video still freaked me the heck out. Wow, because it's horrible, it's scary. So I know I rant about. So don't reach into the field of play. That wasn't what happened here. But be careful. Yeah, please be careful. Be careful. Be aware of what's around you and be careful. And if your friends aren't being careful, be the bad guy and make them be careful. Yep, yep. Wow. Did I sound like a mom there, but I'm okay with that. That's

Pottymouth 40:18
all right. We can keep sounding like moms, because that's what we are. And I'm going to continue on as if we hadn't been political enough, folks. I'm going to do a little bit cross training, some police blotters, some a little bit more optimistic. So I had talked about the aircraft with a K back in episode 379 so that's craft, as in the owner of the Patriots, a no, well known asshole, however, owner of the Patriots. And in 379 I was kind of giving him the benefit out, because they had done some good things with their airplane that has patriots very boldly on the side. For instance, they brought the Dodgers back home to La after beating the Yankees in the World Series. And so that was the focus at that episode. But also we talked about how previously they had done humanitarian efforts with the plane that they had brought in, brought in, I'm at the end of the beer, they had brought students from Marjory Stoneman, Douglas High School, you know, the scene of the horrific shooting, and their families to the March for the lives in DC in 2018 they had brought a bunch of N 95 masks during the pandemic from all places, China to Boston. But boy, that's where the masks were being made, and boy, did we need them in 2020 so last week, the the plane was seen in a less humanitarian effort. There are folks who are paying a lot of attention to flights these days, and I am very appreciative of this, because there is a lot of shit going around with moving detained immigrants, incarcerated immigrants and and deportation, which is not deportation in many, many situations. It's incarceration in hell holes in other countries. So you know, no no words to mince on that one, but the Patriots plane was seen in Guantanamo Bay, which is the site of a US, horrific prison made for terrorists. So what is the Patriots plane doing there now, according to the official statement, it is, was quote chartering from the Department of Defense, moving military personnel. But then they tacked on saying so they so the apparently, the Guantanamo, Guantanamo flight by the Patriots airplane was not full of human beings who are being moved into a jail. However, it was military being moved into Guantanamo which, what the fuck anyway, the New England Patriots said, and I quote, The New England Patriots organization is not involved in, nor does it prove sanction or coordinate the uses of the aircrafts when they are chartered for non team purposes. So it

Patti 43:07
was a team purpose. What were the Patriots doing? Like a visit Well,

Pottymouth 43:11
so what they're saying, I think, with this, is this was a non team purpose, and we do not sanction it. However, we didn't cover up the huge fucking patriots painted on the side of the planes. I mean, nobody's gonna know

Patti 43:22
that get used if you don't sink, you gotta give somebody the keys to the car, right, right. I mean,

Pottymouth 43:27
right. And they were, did the US government steal that plane? I doubt it, right. And there were plenty like willing to take credit for delivering masks and baseball players, sure. So if you're delivering military folks to Guantanamo Bay, then I guess you get a buy or like the fuck, the actual fuck. So needless to say, human rights folks have been concerned, and they did a little bit of digging into if this plane has, in fact, been used for deporting or moving human beings, undocumented human beings or documented at this point. Now, people are just being moved all over the fucking place. It was used three times for deportations under Biden. Holy shit, right? So this is also, like, you know, announcement from the peanut gallery that this complaining about unjustly treating immigrants is nothing new. It's horrific now under under our current administration that I can't even pronounce, but you know, I was out there protesting under Biden as well. Biden did some also terrible things regarding deporting immigrants. So you know, we folks of the certain persuasion can criticize our leaders and also compliment them on the positive things they do. But you know, yes, some bad things happened under Biden. I will be happy to say that some horrific things are happening now that we really need to keep our eye on and the Patriots should not be flying to Guantanamo Bay. No, no,

Patti 44:56
no, wow, I'm flying. Gaster that anyone would even say, Oh, hey, I've got a plane for you, right, right? Why don't you use this one like this down here doesn't have enough planes. Okay, there's, I have so many follow up questions, yep,

Pottymouth 45:09
but meanwhile, we can ditch my patriots. And so painful to be like, you know, quasi whatever, Patriots fan, but the Eagles folks have stuck their landing, or some of them stuck their landing. So they went to the White House this past Monday, which is notable in and of itself, because they did not go in 2018 under the last this guy administration, and it was their first franchise victory. So that would have been in the time that there would have been like all this pressure go to the White House. And they didn't go this time they went, except for a bunch of them didn't go. And we talked, oh shit. I didn't write down the episode number, like you guys would, would look it up. But oh, 393, yep. Um, where I talked about a bunch of the eagles who I admired and included Jalen Hurts, and my admiration for him is now like expounded, expanded, multiplied, all those things bigger than it was, yeah, because he didn't go, and he didn't and so the official, you know, he was definitely, like, biting his tongue kind of thing, because the official statement was that he had, like, a scheduling conflict, absolutely. But if you look at the interview where he was asked specifically, why didn't you go, he just turns away. He doesn't say the words, yep. He is not having anything to do with any of this shit. He is a good man. He's the starting he was the star of that team, and he did not go. And 10 of his other Eagles compatriots also didn't go over. Half of the starters didn't go. So yay. I am disappointed in saquon Barkley, who I did talk about positively when we talked about the Eagles back then, because he's a very vocal dude for LGBTQ support. So I'm like, why are you going to see this asshole who is doing all of these executive orders to hurt this population? But I don't know. I don't have a hotline to say. Juan Barkley, so there I go. I think

Patti 47:05
that scheduling conflict is very excellent sort of code word, and I'm going to use it anytime someone asks me to go do a thing that I am morally opposed to. Sorry, scheduling conflict. My values conflict with that. So that's my my new schedule Exactly. So I'm gonna spend quality time with my values instead some

Pottymouth 47:24
some integral in the gram Instagram. Instagram posts that I saw that I forgot to credit said that his schedule and contract was integrity, right. There you go. I like it. The one thing that we missed a couple weeks ago was Ohio State won whatever they win in college and went to the White House. There was, there's that thing, there must have been a bowl. It was a bowl, right? Anyway, beyond the bowl they had a trophy. So Ohio State went to the White House. The President fuck face was out there, and the Vice President baubled The trophy. So did you see this? Like you got to go back and see the video, because it's fucking hysterical. Apparently, the Vice President is also a Ohio State graduate, so had, like, a personal connection here, and when he's handed like the byline was, he didn't realize that the trophy was not connected to the base, but as it's being handed to him, it's very apparent that the person is doing so, because you got to hold both parts. Well, one part dropped, the other part the the wide receiver, like did, why? What is that? The right word? No, that's not. Some receiver picked it up because he received the trophy. Could be a wide receiver. It could have been that might have been him. Anyway, it was a very embarrassing moment that he recouped by saying there was some Michigan fan out there who was bringing bed. Okay,

Patti 48:43
that's a little bit funny. And our intern would want me to stop you and say, please refer to it as the Ohio State University. Oh,

Pottymouth 48:50
okay, there you go. All right. Okay, all right,

Patti 48:52
another White House visit of note. We talked several weeks back about Commissioner baseball, Rob Manfred, going to visit with the President, and it being some weird, like, not really officially announced thing, and then people found out about it afterwards, and they're like, all, like, guessing what they talked about. Well, Manfred actually talked about it very briefly, very, very briefly with the press. And he said he did, in fact, discuss Pete Rose with the president. That was, like, the whole thing before, because the President was going to pardon Pete Rose for what we don't know, but anyway, but more interesting to me than that is that Rob Manfred said he discussed with the president immigration policies and how they affect players from Cuba and Venezuela and other countries. That's

Pottymouth 49:35
big. That's that's big, huge. The quote

Patti 49:38
he provided later on Monday, last Monday, said was given the number of foreign born players we have, we're always concerned about ingress and egress. We've had dialog with the administration about this topic. And, you know, they're very interested in sports. They understand the unique need to be able to go back and forth. And I'm going to leave it at that. Okay, so there's a list of things. I mean, I've loved that. He brought up immigration and said, See, it's not just affecting these imaginary criminals, right, right? It's also, you like sports, your guys aren't going to be able to play anymore because you have these weird lines in the sand that you're drawing. And it's not a unique need to go back and forth. People need to go back and forth no matter what they do for for life, whether it's just visiting family or for a job or for whatever. It's not just because they're baseball players. Yeah, lots of people need to go back and forth.

Pottymouth 50:31
Yeah, that's huge. And you know, it reminds me, I saw there was a statement on Cuban players this past week. It was from via Cuba, but it like clarified who's going to be available to be able to be drafted by MLB, and it said that they have to have left Cuba officially, like they have to have totally moved to another country, or have applied for asylum to the United States. I believe those were the two things, but it can't be somebody who's still living in Cuba. So I feel like it's, like a little bit of a baby step before, like, smuggling them out and then smuggling them up. I don't know, jeez, yeah, but maybe it came out of that discussion. You know, I don't know, because Cubans and Venezuelans, man, they've had, like, been spun around by this administration. It's crazy shit.

Patti 51:21
One more bit of cross training. It's, um, it's Kentucky Derby weekend. Oh, I feel should be drinking mint juleps. Well, that would have been yesterday. We were talking beer yesterday, all right. Well, we could do, yeah, I'm also a little tick that journalism didn't win, because I want journalism to win, but journalism has not been winning. Oh no. But anyway, so we're cross training with the derby. Because honest to God, last time we were at nats park just last week. I was looking at, like, you know, the Retired numbers for the nationals, and I saw Jason worth number like, What is he doing? I thought he was, like, starting some organic farm or whatever. And he did also. But Jason worth owns a horse flying Mohawk that finished flying honestly,

Pottymouth 52:01
Jason worth with the flying mo he's

Patti 52:04
got, he's got a hat that says flow mo or fly mo or something on. It's great, but it's to actually get the hair. But anyway, his horse finished 12th out of 20 in yesterday's race. How about that? And so apparently his first like foray into horse racing was when he was a minor league player. He was playing for Syracuse, and they were in Louisville, playing Louisville bats, and they had time off, so they went to Churchill dance. His was his first time ever seeing a horse race. He won on one race, the ninth race, $3,500 which is kind of life changing money for a minor league player, especially that long ago. So he's gone from that to, you know, now, like a third or fourth career, because I think the farming thing might be done. But anyway, um, now he, now he raises, you know, horses to race. You

Pottymouth 52:56
know, he could feed them organic food, right? He might, yeah, maybe

Patti 52:59
horses do just that. So that was that's pretty fun. Yeah, you know

Pottymouth 53:03
who else has a horse? This is a very funny side note. I don't think the horse ran in the Derby, but Walker Bueller and Alex Bregman co own a horse, and apparently, and I need to do my homework on this, because apparently they bought the horse before they were on the same team. So I don't know how they're friends, but I do know that they co own a horse, and I don't think it was in the Kentucky Derby, but there you go, bonding over horse. Wow.

Patti 53:30
And I thought that, like retired ball players were either coached or golfed. I didn't know that, like owning, you know, race horses was a thing, but apparently it is. No, I'm thirsty

Pottymouth 53:40
for mint. Julep, right about now we have mint growing outside. We could probably make that happen. You

Patti 53:45
know what I when I see the mint in your yard, I think Mojito. Yeah, there you go. I do have some lovely hats that have actually been to the Kentucky Derby, so maybe I should have worn that today. But yeah, I do.

Pottymouth 53:56
All right, yes. Future photo op folks, join Patreon and you can see Patty Derby in a derby hat. That would be the greatest. All right, we are out of time, but we're going to talk about city Connect. Because, you know, we talked about it last week. There's two

Patti 54:11
more, and we referenced one of them earlier today. So there you go. Yeah, so that, so

Pottymouth 54:15
we'll start with the one that we didn't reference, which is the white so last week we talked about these coming. We knew they were coming, right? I had low expectations, and my low expectations have pretty much been very, you know, valid. Okay, yeah, pretty much. So the White Sox, it's not bad. It's the Chicago Bulls uniform, which is fine, because the Chicago bills have had brought a lot of success to Chicago. But I like the old ones. I feel like the old ones were South Side. They were, you know, that part of Chicago. They were classy. They were pin stripe. The these are fine, but they're riding the bull, you know, yeah, literally, yeah. So that's the thing. What do you think?

Patti 54:57
I haven't actually looked at them. I. I spent some time on the Miami ones. I'll kind of talk to you next. I haven't see, but you know, again, I, I think you know a lot. So a lot of teams are on their second round now. And for some teams like, you know, you hit it just right that first time. So even if it was the second one was okay, it's gonna pale in comparison. See, the Nationals, yeah, right. And like the Rockies, there's no way the second one is good as the first one. So it's like, what do you really do you need it? Are you skinned? Do you need the money? That much that you need to change this? Yeah, so I don't know. I will look up the White Sox one so I can go buy something later this jersey,

Pottymouth 55:33
and it's, it's touted as being the first crossover, so it has stats from the bulls and the White Sox on the neckline. It's got the years of the championships. And you know, of course, that means the White Sox didn't have enough championships to go through the whole neckline with them. I mean, so they're cross training with their city connects, right? But is, I don't know. Is that a thing?

Patti 55:57
Well, maybe, maybe it's the first of a thing. Maybe we're gonna see some more. Oh, God, sorry. Sorry, I didn't mean to set you off like that. Oh no.

Pottymouth 56:07
Well, although then now I'm thinking about the the hockey promo that Mr. Potty mouth got when he went to Fenway, which is pretty cool, which is an absolute cross training hockey. I mean, a lot of

Patti 56:17
ball clubs are now doing like so they're doing their hockey jersey, their soccer jersey, bowling shirts. I mean, there's a lot of the put your baseball team's name on a different sports uniform.

Pottymouth 56:32
Happening works for a giveaway. Maybe not a city Connect. Maybe not a city Connect. All right, we'll go down to Miami. Not anymore. I think it's not anymore. What we're not going to, Oh, right. We're not personally going to Miami. We're going to Miami, theoretically, right now, verbally, with the, with the city connects of Miami, which I do also believe is a definite downgrade, the Cuban kings, the sugar King. Sugar kings, right? That was, it was, was was classy. It was honoring a piece of history that a lot of folks didn't know about. It was well done. The uniforms are beautiful. I like the colors.

Patti 57:09
Are you saying that honoring Don Johnson is not a worthy endeavor? And Tubbs and Tubbs, right? Dare You to name them. What's the

Pottymouth 57:18
actor's name? I have no fucking clue. I can't remember,

Patti 57:20
terrific. I can't remember his name. Yeah, someone will tell us. Um, yeah. So this is another where, I don't mind it if, but it pales in comparison. Like, it's got, like, you know, it's got some teal in it to, like, tie it in with a, you know, with the uniforms, with, with the long history of the tail, the pink. I mean, Miami's got, like, the pinks and the purples. But there's colors happening that are very much of the city. That's all fun. I kind of like the 3030835 whatever. That 305 on the cap. That's fine. It's a little, you know, we, I thought we moved past it, but it's fine, right? They're kind of fun. I don't hate them, but I hate them in comparison.

Pottymouth 57:55
I just feel like it's, I mean, I don't know, the the kitschy Miami is also fun. And I guess that's, you know, it's the south beast situation. It's very day glow, the super bright blue and pink. Craig CA, in his blog, pointed out, which I totally agree with. If you look at the 305 on the cap, like at first blush, the way that it's covered up, it looks like, SOS like, help us from this. The other thing that kind of pisses me off about it is it alludes to pinstripes. They're not pin stripes. They're horizontal, teeny stripes on one side of the jersey that are like, you know, the the pink and teal blue, like, kind of into the black. That's not pin Stripes. Stripes. They're not, well, do pin stripes

Patti 58:43
need to be vertical, to be pin stripes? I don't think they do. I think those are pin stripes, but

Pottymouth 58:49
I just feel like the, I don't know, I guess fucking Yankees have like, you know? I

Patti 58:53
mean, usually stripes are vertical, but I don't think it's a rule. I don't think, I don't think that's the definition. I think pin just means it's a skinny, skinny little stripe. I just don't like, I don't know, I don't like it, without saying that, it's the wrong word, okay, all right, horizontal

Pottymouth 59:06
pin stripes. It's just a weird concept. I guess it exists. Well, clearly, yeah, now it does. Now

Patti 59:12
it does, yeah, but like I said, they had a pretty good game wearing those, so we're not going to be rid

Pottymouth 59:19
of them. They're not vile, they're not bad, they're just not as cool as the old ones. And now the old ones have been retired, so they're gonna cost a fortune on eBay. Well,

Patti 59:28
yeah, as soon as you lose right? For sure. Hey, we have this terrible, terrible fantasy. Well, it's a great league. It's final, it's a fun league. I am stable. We have terrible rules. You really are. You're, you know, you're a 10 out of 10. Well, you're a 10 out of 12. But okay, we had so the top five are still a top five. They've moved around a little bit. So Bono's boyfriends dropped from two to four. Everybody else, you know, adjusted up, you know, appropriately. So the same top five, wicked awesome team pandemonium. Leftist field. Bonus boyfriends and dinger. Dinos, wow. And big congratulations to the Canadians. You are no longer in the basement. Oh, hey, are the kids in the base? The kids are in the basement. All right, the kids have, oh, where else are you gonna put the kids with the basement

do. So next weekend is Mother's Day, and so please do something nice for the moms and your life could be your mom. It could be your mom friends, it could be anything but, but think about your moms. Your moms, all the moms, yes, work hard. They love their kids. They, you know, throw their bodies between their kids in danger, and, you know, and they do all the things, so be kind to moms, all

sorts of stuff. So I decided that we should take a road trip. That's me that Mr. Potty mouth, and I to go see Junior. Potty mouth, pine mouth. Junior, I always fuck up. I think it's potty mouth. Potty mouth. Junior, okay, who is in New York, and it just happens to, I swear to God, like my first thought was my child. My second thought was, is there a baseball game? I looked at the right order I did. I saw it. Class, barely. Not a given. No, not at all, not at all. So my first thought was to look at the Brooklyn Cyclones, where my kid was two nights ago, and sent me some video, photo evidence of that. So yay, Brooklyn Cyclones, but the Mets are playing the Cubs. What a fun thing to do. I believe that Mr. Potty mouth has been scouring Seat Geek and StubHub. And actually, it's my indecision shocking. No one that the reason why we haven't bought the seats yet, because I keep kind of wavering, but we're gonna get seats. It's it's Edward dia Edwin Diaz. I wrote Edward, it's Edwin Edwin Diaz, bobblehead night. Oh, so, yeah, I will get there several hours early, and then the two of them can go bond over, like Star Trek or something while I'm in line for the bobbin. No, it's, it's truth and truth, and that's, you know, okay, I would do them. So I'll stand in line for so many friends, and that'll be fun. Yeah, I will not. What should I wear? Because I'm going to be standing among Metz fans, something. It's a beautiful night for baseball. Baseball, yeah, sure, there we exactly. It's a night game. Perfect, perfect. See, I've got my outfit, something

Pottymouth 1:02:31
shoot. Blue Sky is lovely, and that would be ncib podcast, Facebook and Instagram a little less lovely, but we're there no crying in B ball, and then you can join our Patreon. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you to our Patreon friends, because we are officially a float. Thanks to you. That would be P, A, T, R, E, O n.com/no, crying in B ball and a buck a month. And you know, it's all about everybody doing a little bit, and it keeps us going, and that's exactly where we are now, so we're kind of dependent on, you know, maybe a couple folks joining in every now and then, because there is attrition once in a while, and that's understandable. Building community. Please come and join us and then let us know, like, what fun stuff we can do there to make it worth your while.

Absolutely. So do something nice for the moms. Yes, not just us, you know, we are moms, but we have people holding nice things for us. We're covered, but you know, there's other moms. You should be nice too. Get boosted, fight the man. It's the freaking most important thing you can do right now, send your game ball to Meredith and until next week, say goodnight. Potty

Pottymouth 1:03:55
go with the gross. Yeah, with wise and rare. Well,

Patti 1:03:59
you don't usually go with the gross. You may go with the 12 year old, but not necessarily gross.
