WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.200 What is your guy's favorite ballpark food? Reeve, 00:00:04.379 --> 00:00:06.240 I'll let you go first since you're the new guy. 00:00:07.240 --> 00:00:09.820 Thanks. Thanks. Um, everybody loves the dog. 00:00:09.960 --> 00:00:12.519 No problem. But there's just something a little 00:00:12.519 --> 00:00:16.440 special about the ballpark jalapenos that go 00:00:16.440 --> 00:00:19.980 onto that plastic cheese and the stale chips 00:00:19.980 --> 00:00:23.140 that are fantastic. They stick with you. They 00:00:23.140 --> 00:00:25.620 stick with you to the next day. However, at the 00:00:25.620 --> 00:00:29.160 moment, at the moment at the ballpark. Those 00:00:29.160 --> 00:00:32.679 jalapenos on the nachos are delicious. There 00:00:32.679 --> 00:00:34.920 is something special about them. But for me, 00:00:34.920 --> 00:00:38.939 it's usually on the way out. My favorite in any 00:00:38.939 --> 00:00:42.539 loyal listener knows my favorite is the steamed 00:00:42.539 --> 00:00:46.600 dog. And if you haven't been listening, you need 00:00:46.600 --> 00:00:50.460 to go back to season one and check out our expose 00:00:50.460 --> 00:00:53.820 on the steamed dog. That is my favorite. And 00:00:53.820 --> 00:00:59.079 I think that goes without saying. You're listening 00:00:59.079 --> 00:01:03.020 to the litter box a Detroit Tigers podcast with 00:01:03.020 --> 00:01:08.560 your hosts Chet West and Bill Patterson To the 00:01:08.560 --> 00:01:11.079 Detroit Tigers litter box I'm your co -host Billy 00:01:11.079 --> 00:01:15.239 P from the D with Chet West and our special esteemed 00:01:15.239 --> 00:01:18.719 guest RB Seeger and we've got a treat for you 00:01:18.719 --> 00:01:21.700 listeners today we are gonna do in honor of March 00:01:21.700 --> 00:01:26.519 Madness a ballpark food bracket and we will anoint 00:01:26.519 --> 00:01:30.349 a winner today Reeve, we really appreciate you 00:01:30.349 --> 00:01:32.810 coming in and being the decisive third vote on 00:01:32.810 --> 00:01:36.810 this. And we'll also share some tiger news. I 00:01:36.810 --> 00:01:41.069 have a Drew Anderson sighting. That's two quality 00:01:41.069 --> 00:01:43.609 representations he's made in Lakeland. What do 00:01:43.609 --> 00:01:46.790 you guys think? $100 million. I think it's a 00:01:46.790 --> 00:01:50.819 deal. Maybe, maybe Scott Harrison company was 00:01:50.819 --> 00:01:54.079 on to something scouring the Korean Super League 00:01:54.079 --> 00:01:57.140 finding one Drew Anderson. Guys that are probably 00:01:57.140 --> 00:01:59.900 not going to make the team, boy Parker Meadows 00:01:59.900 --> 00:02:02.319 is really struggling at the plate right now. 00:02:02.739 --> 00:02:05.299 And Wensil Perez, anytime you want to start picking 00:02:05.299 --> 00:02:07.640 up the bat and hitting, it'd be great. Guys that 00:02:07.640 --> 00:02:09.319 are going to make the team but really need to 00:02:09.319 --> 00:02:11.599 start hitting, looking at you Riley Green, looking 00:02:11.599 --> 00:02:14.759 at you Spencer Torkelson and I just haven't gotten 00:02:14.759 --> 00:02:17.039 on the Colt Keith train yet, but I'm being told 00:02:17.039 --> 00:02:20.180 by my co -hosts that I need to be just a little 00:02:20.180 --> 00:02:22.520 more patient. Simmer down. You know what the 00:02:22.520 --> 00:02:25.080 problem with Wensil is? Wensil's biggest issue 00:02:25.080 --> 00:02:27.199 is he's got some competition in the outfield 00:02:27.199 --> 00:02:29.620 right now from the likes of Trey Cruz. The other 00:02:29.620 --> 00:02:32.259 side of that, and Corey Jolks, for that matter, 00:02:32.379 --> 00:02:35.900 is batting 462 in spring. The other side of that, 00:02:35.939 --> 00:02:37.979 though, is the fact that he plays centerfield 00:02:37.979 --> 00:02:40.539 and we don't have centerfielders right now for 00:02:40.539 --> 00:02:43.530 the most part. Parker Meadows, as you said. Flailing 00:02:43.530 --> 00:02:46.389 don't see him making the team match Clark can't 00:02:46.389 --> 00:02:50.370 seem to catch a ball and he's batting 125 Good 00:02:50.370 --> 00:02:53.050 chain game, but the rest of it's kind of falling 00:02:53.050 --> 00:02:55.909 apart So when seal might be like making the team 00:02:55.909 --> 00:02:59.449 by default at this point could be could be Couple 00:02:59.449 --> 00:03:01.069 of guys that I want to highlight and this one 00:03:01.069 --> 00:03:04.110 goes out to you reef in honor of our last episode 00:03:04.110 --> 00:03:07.169 Jake Rogers or is we're gonna call him this year 00:03:07.169 --> 00:03:11.629 Jake the stash He the cover off the ball So it's 00:03:11.629 --> 00:03:14.610 good that we've got you know, two solid catchers 00:03:14.610 --> 00:03:17.590 between he and Dingler if anything I still think 00:03:17.590 --> 00:03:20.370 there could be some trade bait the Tigers are 00:03:20.370 --> 00:03:22.349 very deep at the catcher position and maybe one 00:03:22.349 --> 00:03:24.710 of the young guys gets moved and I know I'm way 00:03:24.710 --> 00:03:27.930 premature on this and my co -host is gonna Shake 00:03:27.930 --> 00:03:30.090 his head for those that you know, they're just 00:03:30.090 --> 00:03:32.050 trying to envision what we look like as we discuss 00:03:32.050 --> 00:03:34.889 this Chase Young is hitting do we have a third 00:03:34.889 --> 00:03:37.710 baseman? This is exciting and I know I need to 00:03:37.710 --> 00:03:39.729 temper that you got to pump the brakes there 00:03:39.729 --> 00:03:42.150 I think Colt Keith is probably gonna be your 00:03:42.150 --> 00:03:45.129 third break third baseman to break Spring there 00:03:45.129 --> 00:03:47.629 is a gentleman that you've noted here in your 00:03:47.629 --> 00:03:52.090 notes by the name of a one John Peck my fear 00:03:52.569 --> 00:03:55.729 is that one John Peck, who seems to be getting 00:03:55.729 --> 00:03:58.909 a lot of ink from the Tigers beat writers these 00:03:58.909 --> 00:04:01.990 days, somehow is the opening day shortstop and 00:04:01.990 --> 00:04:07.270 blocks McGonagall from opening day. That's a 00:04:07.270 --> 00:04:09.789 problem. That's a problem. We need a nickname 00:04:09.789 --> 00:04:13.389 for McGonagall. I've been trying to figure that 00:04:13.389 --> 00:04:16.170 one out. I've been driving around like, listening 00:04:16.170 --> 00:04:18.629 to shows and stuff and everybody's McGonagall, 00:04:18.730 --> 00:04:20.529 McGonagall. We got to figure something out like 00:04:20.529 --> 00:04:22.870 K -Mac or something. I don't know. Yeah, but 00:04:22.870 --> 00:04:24.889 that's too... I don't know, we'll figure that 00:04:24.889 --> 00:04:27.970 out. But I think he deserves to be on the roster 00:04:27.970 --> 00:04:31.529 day one. Agreed. Period, period. Agreed. I think 00:04:31.529 --> 00:04:35.350 everybody's circling the wagons on this thought. 00:04:35.560 --> 00:04:39.220 He probably will be on the roster day one at 00:04:39.220 --> 00:04:41.199 this point if he keeps hitting the way he has 00:04:41.199 --> 00:04:42.980 he scorched another couple balls in the game 00:04:42.980 --> 00:04:45.740 yesterday. I didn't produce anything out of it, 00:04:45.920 --> 00:04:48.600 but hit him hard. And I think you're probably 00:04:48.600 --> 00:04:52.879 looking at Zach McKinstry is about the only threat 00:04:52.879 --> 00:04:55.779 he has at shortstop right now. And Zach's been 00:04:56.320 --> 00:04:59.639 ZMAX had a good so you have K Mac and ZMAX and 00:04:59.639 --> 00:05:02.699 you have the do ZMAX more utility he can play 00:05:02.699 --> 00:05:04.480 I know you can play everywhere So he's gonna 00:05:04.480 --> 00:05:06.819 make the team regardless, but I could see him 00:05:06.819 --> 00:05:09.319 breaking with him. Can we bring Tracy McGrady? 00:05:09.639 --> 00:05:13.980 back from the NBA. So we have T -Mac, T -Mac, 00:05:13.980 --> 00:05:15.879 T -Mac, K -Mac. Let's cover all the Macs. That's 00:05:15.879 --> 00:05:18.019 what I'm saying is very generic nicknames. So 00:05:18.019 --> 00:05:20.220 maybe Iggle or something like that. I don't know. 00:05:20.319 --> 00:05:22.839 I have no idea which way to go. Giggles. Yeah. 00:05:22.959 --> 00:05:27.100 Giggles. Do you think he's got a good sense of 00:05:27.100 --> 00:05:30.199 humor? I don't know. I don't know. He won't if 00:05:30.199 --> 00:05:33.519 John Peck blocks him. All right. With that, let's 00:05:33.519 --> 00:05:37.519 get into our regions for food. Gentlemen, you 00:05:37.519 --> 00:05:39.779 have the notes in front of you. How we're gonna 00:05:39.779 --> 00:05:42.519 do this is it's gonna be one versus four, two 00:05:42.519 --> 00:05:46.220 versus three. We're gonna do this as the NCAA 00:05:46.220 --> 00:05:49.720 does without all the convoluted rules about who 00:05:49.720 --> 00:05:51.959 the number one overall seed is and all that. 00:05:52.160 --> 00:05:55.449 Midwest region, we've got. The steamed naked 00:05:55.449 --> 00:05:59.209 hot dog, Chet's favorite, is the one seed. The 00:05:59.209 --> 00:06:02.050 two seed is barbecue from the ballpark. It can 00:06:02.050 --> 00:06:05.329 be any type of barbecue. It can be a McRib -ish 00:06:05.329 --> 00:06:08.050 sandwich. It can be pulled pork. It can be brisket. 00:06:08.269 --> 00:06:10.689 The number three, Cracker Jack, the classic. 00:06:10.850 --> 00:06:14.980 The number four, lemon ice. That is your Midwest 00:06:14.980 --> 00:06:18.839 region, gentlemen. And why don't we do that before 00:06:18.839 --> 00:06:21.459 we get into the other region on the Midwest region? 00:06:21.680 --> 00:06:24.800 All right. OK, one hot dog, one versus four. 00:06:25.120 --> 00:06:30.199 This seems like a Duke versus Stoney versus Furman 00:06:30.199 --> 00:06:31.959 or something. Yeah, I don't even know. This seems 00:06:31.959 --> 00:06:36.279 like the lines opened at thirty two and a half. 00:06:36.420 --> 00:06:39.420 You got the steamed naked dog, which you know 00:06:39.420 --> 00:06:44.120 I have an affinity for against a lemon ice. I 00:06:44.120 --> 00:06:46.819 don't know how lemon ice even got in the tournament. 00:06:46.839 --> 00:06:49.860 Can we save time and just put the dog right to 00:06:49.860 --> 00:06:53.100 the... The dog blew him up by 40. The dog goes 00:06:53.100 --> 00:06:55.300 all the way. The dog was playing its bench players 00:06:55.300 --> 00:06:58.399 in the last half. Okay, even had some, yeah, 00:06:58.620 --> 00:07:00.500 pounding the floor like the Duke point guards, 00:07:00.500 --> 00:07:04.620 you know, okay. Anyway, barbecue versus Cracker 00:07:04.620 --> 00:07:06.500 Jack. And I've got some thoughts on this. My 00:07:06.500 --> 00:07:09.000 vote is for Cracker Jack because though barbecue 00:07:09.000 --> 00:07:11.360 is a delicious food, the place not to get it 00:07:11.360 --> 00:07:15.160 is the ballpark. It is smoked previously, then 00:07:15.160 --> 00:07:17.980 transported to the ballpark and sits under a 00:07:17.980 --> 00:07:21.870 heat lamp for nine innings or seven innings. 00:07:22.290 --> 00:07:25.430 It is dry. It typically requires copious amounts 00:07:25.430 --> 00:07:28.629 of sauce to get it to go down. And I like my 00:07:28.629 --> 00:07:32.290 barbecue plain kind of like Chet likes his dog. 00:07:32.370 --> 00:07:35.850 And then either rub or something, maybe a dry 00:07:35.850 --> 00:07:39.009 rubber. Yeah, I just don't feel like if you need 00:07:39.009 --> 00:07:41.209 to sauce it. I just feel like the barbecue at 00:07:41.209 --> 00:07:43.149 the ballpark is pre -processed or something. 00:07:43.629 --> 00:07:45.449 They're stamping it out. They're stamping the 00:07:45.449 --> 00:07:47.509 meat out like a McRib or what, you know, and 00:07:47.509 --> 00:07:49.529 not doing nearly as good a job as McDonald's 00:07:49.529 --> 00:07:52.769 with the McRib. You can rub your barbecue at 00:07:52.769 --> 00:07:56.550 the street fair. That's fine. Can you? That's 00:07:56.550 --> 00:08:00.000 fine. I had no idea. It does not have to be at 00:08:00.000 --> 00:08:02.420 the ballpark though. I agree. It's not a question 00:08:02.420 --> 00:08:04.480 now. Now even cracker Jack. Hey guys, you can 00:08:04.480 --> 00:08:06.779 rub your barbecue at the street fair. Feel free. 00:08:07.279 --> 00:08:10.180 At any rate, the barbecue at the ballpark, you 00:08:10.180 --> 00:08:12.600 know, that's like a pre -processed deal. I like 00:08:12.600 --> 00:08:14.959 it to taste like somebody cut it off the cow 00:08:14.959 --> 00:08:16.740 10 minutes ago. Exactly. And threw it on the 00:08:16.740 --> 00:08:18.399 grill. I don't want something that's been sitting 00:08:18.399 --> 00:08:22.250 around in a mold for days. Cracker Jack very 00:08:22.250 --> 00:08:25.569 good. Yeah. And I don't I don't know that. But 00:08:25.569 --> 00:08:28.259 you ever have the Chicago mix? It's way better. 00:08:28.660 --> 00:08:31.040 Cheese and the caramel corn. It's way better. 00:08:31.240 --> 00:08:33.639 Really, really good. That didn't make the tournament 00:08:33.639 --> 00:08:36.399 this year. Well, because it's a Chicago specialty. 00:08:36.580 --> 00:08:39.399 And though I'm based there, I tried to keep this 00:08:39.399 --> 00:08:42.100 national, but great shout out. They got bounced 00:08:42.100 --> 00:08:44.299 out of their conference tournament. You know 00:08:44.299 --> 00:08:47.919 what? The only Mariano's has a great mix. The 00:08:47.919 --> 00:08:51.559 Chicago mix. Yeah. Or you can do nuts on Clark 00:08:51.559 --> 00:08:54.480 or you can do Garrett's. Yeah. Any of those. 00:08:54.779 --> 00:08:57.080 Chet, next time you fly in and out of O 'Hare, 00:08:57.259 --> 00:09:01.139 do yourself a favor and grab a bag. Okay. You'll 00:09:01.139 --> 00:09:04.279 really enjoy it. That's great. Your hands will 00:09:04.279 --> 00:09:07.000 be colored. I'm sure I've had it at some point 00:09:07.000 --> 00:09:10.500 in time. You know Cheeto or Dorito Orange? Yeah. 00:09:10.620 --> 00:09:13.720 Your hands will look like that. So, steamed hot 00:09:13.720 --> 00:09:16.159 dog naked gets out of the Midwest region. No 00:09:16.159 --> 00:09:19.149 surprises. Think cracker Jack gets out of the 00:09:19.149 --> 00:09:20.970 Midwest. There's no way it's losing to the stamped 00:09:20.970 --> 00:09:23.629 barbecue or whatever done Let's go over to the 00:09:23.629 --> 00:09:26.490 east gentlemen in the one seed We've got the 00:09:26.490 --> 00:09:29.789 pizza slice either with pepperoni sausage or 00:09:29.789 --> 00:09:32.850 just plain cheese number two the super pretzel 00:09:32.850 --> 00:09:36.169 something that you can almost find Exclusively 00:09:36.169 --> 00:09:38.350 either at the ballpark or in your frozen food 00:09:38.350 --> 00:09:42.570 aisle at your local grocery store Three, the 00:09:42.570 --> 00:09:45.549 red licorice rope. I always feel bad for the 00:09:45.549 --> 00:09:47.590 vendors that are carrying this in the cotton 00:09:47.590 --> 00:09:49.610 candy. Because they're heavy. They're very heavy 00:09:49.610 --> 00:09:51.350 and they can't get rid of them to save their 00:09:51.350 --> 00:09:54.110 life. No, I think they pick up like 20 of these 00:09:54.110 --> 00:09:55.870 at the beginning of the season and still have 00:09:55.870 --> 00:09:57.649 them until 4th of July. They're probably all 00:09:57.649 --> 00:10:01.950 dried out. And then this one is just plain generic 00:10:01.950 --> 00:10:04.429 popcorn in the four seats. So you've got pizza 00:10:04.429 --> 00:10:07.690 slice in the one, super pretzel two, red licorice 00:10:07.690 --> 00:10:11.159 rope three and four is popcorn. One versus four, 00:10:11.379 --> 00:10:14.840 gentlemen. What do we have? I'm going with pizza 00:10:14.840 --> 00:10:18.860 slice. I'm not a popcorn fan period. You're going 00:10:18.860 --> 00:10:21.720 pizza over popcorn. Yeah, I'm going pizza slice 00:10:21.720 --> 00:10:24.500 and we're talking ballpark here. Yeah. I feel 00:10:24.500 --> 00:10:27.320 like I got to get lunch at the ballpark and I 00:10:27.320 --> 00:10:29.620 don't want the steam dog because usually that's 00:10:29.620 --> 00:10:32.519 an appetizer and or dessert for me. I'll go with 00:10:32.519 --> 00:10:36.679 a pizza slice for my main course. OK, OK. Reef, 00:10:36.919 --> 00:10:38.679 you're you're leading popcorn here, aren't you? 00:10:38.789 --> 00:10:41.289 I am it depends on the pizza. Like what are we 00:10:41.289 --> 00:10:46.870 talking about? You're right It's fine. There's 00:10:46.870 --> 00:10:50.909 a huge I think popcorn is universally better 00:10:50.909 --> 00:10:54.129 than You roll the dice on a bad piece of pizza. 00:10:54.450 --> 00:10:57.289 I do survey the rotisserie container the pizzas 00:10:57.289 --> 00:10:59.940 in I do make sure that it's in there. It looks 00:10:59.940 --> 00:11:02.840 good before I order it. I kind of like it when 00:11:02.840 --> 00:11:05.080 the grease floats on top of the pepperoni or 00:11:05.080 --> 00:11:07.059 the cheese a little bit. I know then that they've 00:11:07.059 --> 00:11:09.019 really... Yeah, but it really depends on the 00:11:09.019 --> 00:11:11.120 crust. Like anybody can put a loaf of bread out 00:11:11.120 --> 00:11:13.519 there and put sauce and cheese on it. That's 00:11:13.519 --> 00:11:15.179 true. It's not that good. It's not that good. 00:11:15.200 --> 00:11:16.399 No, I get your point, but I'm still going pizza 00:11:16.399 --> 00:11:20.340 slice over popcorn. I am going to reef your argument. 00:11:20.480 --> 00:11:22.340 compelled me and I'm going to be the winning 00:11:22.340 --> 00:11:24.600 vote on this. We've got our first upset. Popcorn 00:11:24.600 --> 00:11:27.539 takes down pizza. Yes, there's too much volatility 00:11:27.539 --> 00:11:31.019 in the pizza market. Yeah, yeah. I just threw 00:11:31.019 --> 00:11:33.940 my bracket away. I just threw my bracket away. 00:11:33.940 --> 00:11:36.440 I pizza slice going a long ways here. All right, 00:11:36.519 --> 00:11:39.820 boys. Super pretzel versus red licorice rope. 00:11:40.139 --> 00:11:43.440 Do they even need to play the game? No. The super 00:11:43.440 --> 00:11:45.899 pretzel with a beer is probably one of the more 00:11:45.899 --> 00:11:47.879 underrated combinations at the ballpark. And 00:11:47.879 --> 00:11:49.759 you take a little mustard and dunk it in there. 00:11:50.539 --> 00:11:53.940 Delicious. Yeah, it has to have the dipping sauce 00:11:53.940 --> 00:11:56.179 It really doesn't matter what it is mustard is 00:11:56.179 --> 00:11:58.759 good, but you have to have the right amount of 00:11:58.759 --> 00:12:00.980 salt You don't want to go dry You don't want 00:12:00.980 --> 00:12:03.539 to go too dry on a super pretzel because that 00:12:03.539 --> 00:12:06.000 can start you could choke I mean you'll lose 00:12:06.000 --> 00:12:08.139 also if you're drinking a beer and you're you 00:12:08.139 --> 00:12:09.860 stop drinking the beer and you just go pretzel 00:12:09.860 --> 00:12:12.139 I've done it before it gets too dry and you can 00:12:12.139 --> 00:12:15.259 barely swallow I've near Heimlich in section 00:12:15.259 --> 00:12:20.299 134 a game once Can I say one of the things this 00:12:20.299 --> 00:12:23.399 is a food the super pretzel that's enhanced at 00:12:23.399 --> 00:12:26.659 the ballpark because for some reason when you 00:12:26.659 --> 00:12:29.139 make them at home you have to use a spray bottle 00:12:29.139 --> 00:12:32.340 to like get the pretzel wet and then put the 00:12:32.340 --> 00:12:35.879 salt on and it seems like they take care of that 00:12:35.879 --> 00:12:39.000 beautifully at the ballpark and so Again, super 00:12:39.000 --> 00:12:41.320 pretzel through super pretzel versus popcorn 00:12:41.320 --> 00:12:43.500 guys. What do we have? I'm going super pretzel. 00:12:43.759 --> 00:12:46.059 Well, we didn't do the hang on you're jumping 00:12:46.059 --> 00:12:48.659 ahead in the we got to wait and go got it. Yeah, 00:12:48.700 --> 00:12:51.799 you're right. We've got steamed hot dog against 00:12:51.799 --> 00:12:55.120 Cracker Jack in the Midwest region in the east. 00:12:55.419 --> 00:12:58.320 We have super pretzel against popcorn. Everybody 00:12:58.320 --> 00:13:01.080 keeping score at home. All right. Mark your brackets 00:13:01.080 --> 00:13:04.659 accordingly. We're going down south. This is 00:13:04.659 --> 00:13:07.500 sausage. So think either bratwurst or polish 00:13:07.500 --> 00:13:10.620 basically outside of a steamed hot dog on a bun. 00:13:11.559 --> 00:13:14.580 That's your one seed. Number two is chicken tenders 00:13:14.580 --> 00:13:18.259 deep fried with fries. Three is any type of vegan 00:13:18.259 --> 00:13:23.559 meat that the ballpark has and four peanuts in 00:13:23.559 --> 00:13:26.960 the shell salted. Would not want to be vegan 00:13:26.960 --> 00:13:29.279 meat in this bracket. This is the bracket of 00:13:29.279 --> 00:13:32.000 death right now Wait, did I miss that do you 00:13:32.000 --> 00:13:35.279 have vegan meat? So in at the twins ballpark? 00:13:35.779 --> 00:13:38.620 Let me just again we discussed last season, but 00:13:38.620 --> 00:13:40.720 let me get you up to speed Reve at the twins 00:13:40.720 --> 00:13:45.019 ballpark They have a vegan bratwurst which nope. 00:13:45.019 --> 00:13:50.100 Yeah. Nope. Yeah I had one I had one last year 00:13:50.100 --> 00:13:52.559 and it tastes about as bad as it sounds. I don't 00:13:52.559 --> 00:13:55.200 know how you make a vegan brat I don't know what 00:13:55.200 --> 00:13:58.100 you're doing to make it be good. You just don't 00:13:58.100 --> 00:14:00.779 do it. No, you don't do it because it's not a 00:14:00.779 --> 00:14:03.539 brat, basically. I can't wrap my head around 00:14:03.539 --> 00:14:06.340 the whole concept. And when I tried it, it tasted 00:14:06.340 --> 00:14:11.120 like a wad of combination between tofu and dirt. 00:14:11.309 --> 00:14:15.210 And some weeds, you know, we're spending too 00:14:15.210 --> 00:14:24.529 much time on the vegan It's over it's over it's 00:14:24.529 --> 00:14:29.710 on it's on TBS West one verse for the encased 00:14:29.710 --> 00:14:32.649 meat section bratwurst or Polish sausage verse 00:14:32.649 --> 00:14:34.549 shelled peanuts that I'm gonna tell you right 00:14:34.549 --> 00:14:37.799 now That's tough one for me That is a tough one. 00:14:37.919 --> 00:14:40.620 I've got a very strong opinion on this. My go 00:14:40.620 --> 00:14:44.059 -to food at the ballpark is splitting a bag of 00:14:44.059 --> 00:14:46.919 shelled nuts. I don't need them any other time 00:14:46.919 --> 00:14:49.039 than watching baseball. It's a problem when it's 00:14:49.039 --> 00:14:51.320 a staple, and then you're going up against what 00:14:51.320 --> 00:14:54.039 some would consider a luxury item in the brat 00:14:54.039 --> 00:14:57.299 or the Polish sausage. The brat is fantastic, 00:14:57.679 --> 00:15:01.110 but again, we're talking... ballpark experience. 00:15:01.169 --> 00:15:03.049 Things you can't get through a game without. 00:15:03.070 --> 00:15:05.570 It's bag of peanuts. You can share that around 00:15:05.570 --> 00:15:08.009 the aisle. It's in there with Cracker Jack. It's 00:15:08.009 --> 00:15:09.710 like the Georgetown of the tournament. Always 00:15:09.710 --> 00:15:11.870 going to kind of be there, but you know, I might 00:15:11.870 --> 00:15:16.450 not win every year. So where are we at? Brat? 00:15:16.789 --> 00:15:18.570 We're Polish versus shelled peanuts. I think 00:15:18.570 --> 00:15:20.549 we all took shelled peanuts. We knocked Brat 00:15:20.549 --> 00:15:23.070 and we knocked in case meats out. And chicken 00:15:23.070 --> 00:15:25.590 tenders goes through because vegan meats decided 00:15:25.590 --> 00:15:28.519 not to show. How they even got into the tournament. 00:15:29.639 --> 00:15:32.299 Vegan Meats won a very weak conference to get 00:15:32.299 --> 00:15:44.740 into this tournament. at the ballpark or like 00:15:44.740 --> 00:15:47.759 tofu. I don't know. They talk about choice cuts 00:15:47.759 --> 00:15:50.440 going into their sausage. Yeah. You know, like 00:15:50.440 --> 00:15:53.779 we only use the finest like do the same. Can 00:15:53.779 --> 00:15:55.659 the same be said about vegan? Like we only use 00:15:55.659 --> 00:15:59.059 the finest tofu or, you know, like I don't think 00:15:59.059 --> 00:16:01.519 so. I don't think there is a finest tofu. I think 00:16:01.519 --> 00:16:03.480 it's all kind of the same. All right, let's get 00:16:03.480 --> 00:16:07.100 out West. This is this is pretty fun, guys. And 00:16:07.100 --> 00:16:11.120 the one seed, the awe -inspiring, all -encompassing 00:16:11.120 --> 00:16:14.179 helmet nachos. You've already teased it in the 00:16:14.179 --> 00:16:17.379 intro. You've got processed cheese that resembles 00:16:17.379 --> 00:16:20.679 melted plastic mixed with jalapenos that have 00:16:20.679 --> 00:16:23.159 been sitting in a can and marinated in their 00:16:23.159 --> 00:16:26.720 own juices since last October. Number two, any 00:16:26.720 --> 00:16:29.480 type of burger, whether it's cheese or anything 00:16:29.480 --> 00:16:32.179 else, it can be plain, naked as day, sesame seed 00:16:32.179 --> 00:16:35.120 bun, potato bun, whatever. Three, and one of 00:16:35.120 --> 00:16:39.360 my favorites, the chocolate malt cup with the 00:16:39.629 --> 00:16:42.990 You can call it a spoon, but it's not. It's basically 00:16:42.990 --> 00:16:47.490 just a piece of wood. Also wood that you try 00:16:47.490 --> 00:16:50.529 to stab at the malt cup until it melts enough 00:16:50.529 --> 00:16:54.210 to then become liquid and be thrown away or sit 00:16:54.210 --> 00:16:57.029 underneath your seat. And then four, cotton candy. 00:16:57.870 --> 00:17:00.870 All right, boys. One versus four, helmet nachos, 00:17:00.929 --> 00:17:03.750 cachos. Cotton candy never stood a chance against 00:17:03.750 --> 00:17:06.769 helmet nachos. It's a viable candidate for the 00:17:06.769 --> 00:17:09.130 tournament, but it's not beating helmet nachos. 00:17:09.309 --> 00:17:12.390 today or any other day. How do we feel about 00:17:12.390 --> 00:17:15.690 the malt cup Reeve versus a burger? Again, burger 00:17:15.690 --> 00:17:19.049 is not the, I don't go to the ballpark to get 00:17:19.049 --> 00:17:22.769 a burger. I agree with that. It's extremely exotic. 00:17:22.829 --> 00:17:25.569 The malt cup is good. I like the spoon experience. 00:17:25.789 --> 00:17:30.529 Kind of, but I'm surprised we didn't have Dippin' 00:17:30.650 --> 00:17:32.569 Dots in there. That is kind of a kid's favorite. 00:17:32.589 --> 00:17:33.890 Dippin' Dots could have probably... I think they 00:17:33.890 --> 00:17:36.430 went down in the conference final to the shop 00:17:36.430 --> 00:17:39.029 of MallCup, therefore MallCup is in the tourney. 00:17:39.210 --> 00:17:42.150 Well, that was the upset, guys, at the conference 00:17:42.150 --> 00:17:44.910 tourneys is that vegan meat somehow upset Dippin' 00:17:44.990 --> 00:17:49.490 Dots. All right. It's helmet nachos. It is the 00:17:49.490 --> 00:17:52.549 nachos. The beauty of the helmet nacho is if 00:17:52.549 --> 00:17:55.190 you finish the whole entire thing, your body 00:17:55.190 --> 00:17:57.890 feels like it's going to have a cleanse that 00:17:57.890 --> 00:18:00.589 just never happens. And it just sort of slowly 00:18:00.589 --> 00:18:05.109 over a course of 48 to 72 hours deals with the 00:18:05.109 --> 00:18:07.509 helmet nacho, but it never really gets rid of 00:18:07.509 --> 00:18:11.650 it entirely. So Bill, Bill at one point in time 00:18:11.650 --> 00:18:15.960 took his son to a ball game with his nephew. 00:18:16.420 --> 00:18:18.519 They got helmet nachos and sent me a picture. 00:18:19.019 --> 00:18:22.000 And then later in the game, the helmet from the 00:18:22.000 --> 00:18:24.059 helmet nachos were on the heads of the children. 00:18:24.420 --> 00:18:28.339 And I couldn't figure out that. Yeah. Think about 00:18:28.339 --> 00:18:30.900 that for a minute. Where did you clean that out? 00:18:30.960 --> 00:18:33.319 Where did you do it? Bill, how did you get the 00:18:33.319 --> 00:18:36.480 helmets into a wearable situation? That's what 00:18:36.480 --> 00:18:39.450 the shower is for. It's center fielded. White 00:18:39.450 --> 00:18:42.970 shower and folks he's he's referring to a shower 00:18:42.970 --> 00:18:45.750 that is sponsored by a plumbing company Plumbers 00:18:45.750 --> 00:18:50.250 using the outfield Causeway at at the cell at 00:18:50.250 --> 00:18:52.450 White Sox What do they call it now? What are 00:18:52.450 --> 00:18:54.289 they calling? Just call it Kamiski? Just come 00:18:54.289 --> 00:18:57.150 is key. Are we calling it new Kamiski? The sock 00:18:57.150 --> 00:18:59.470 stadium that changes branding every year They 00:18:59.470 --> 00:19:01.349 have a shower out there that functions and you 00:19:01.349 --> 00:19:04.710 can jump in it at any point in time or you can 00:19:04.710 --> 00:19:07.029 clean out cheese Or you can clean the cheese 00:19:07.029 --> 00:19:11.450 out of your helmet nachos so you can wear it 00:19:11.450 --> 00:19:13.470 throughout the game, which I just found to be 00:19:13.470 --> 00:19:16.569 a very uncomfortable series of pictures. Because 00:19:16.569 --> 00:19:18.549 of that, I couldn't figure out if they just had 00:19:18.549 --> 00:19:20.769 nacho cheese in their hair or not. At any rate, 00:19:20.970 --> 00:19:24.529 helmet nachos takes out cotton candy. Chet, are 00:19:24.529 --> 00:19:26.009 you going to let everyone know how... Chocolate 00:19:26.009 --> 00:19:30.450 milk cup takes out burger. Alrighty. What about... 00:19:30.450 --> 00:19:32.730 Can you explain to people how you make cement? 00:19:32.970 --> 00:19:36.230 Check that was in the previous conference with 00:19:36.230 --> 00:19:38.049 the shelled peanuts. We'll come back around that 00:19:38.049 --> 00:19:40.190 was a special thing I was gonna do for the for 00:19:40.190 --> 00:19:43.170 the semi -final here. All right back up to the 00:19:43.170 --> 00:19:45.069 Midwest and deal with that and see who breaks 00:19:45.069 --> 00:19:47.950 through the final four cracker Jack versus steamed 00:19:47.950 --> 00:19:51.309 hot dog naked marinating in its own juices fellas 00:19:51.309 --> 00:19:55.170 What's her call steam dog steam dog steam dog 00:19:55.170 --> 00:19:58.289 goes through the final four? I'm not I'm literally 00:19:58.289 --> 00:20:00.430 gonna throw my bracket away and walk away if 00:20:00.430 --> 00:20:04.190 they don't That's unanimous. There's nothing 00:20:04.190 --> 00:20:07.869 quite like a cold beer shelf. Again, we're talking 00:20:07.869 --> 00:20:10.089 a ballpark. There's only two or three places 00:20:10.089 --> 00:20:12.769 you go for the steam dog, and the ballpark is... 00:20:12.769 --> 00:20:15.450 The ballpark doesn't... Yeah. In a special way. 00:20:15.450 --> 00:20:18.269 Golf course could be... Maybe go, ooh, a golf 00:20:18.269 --> 00:20:20.410 course steam dog. Not a bad idea with a Mick 00:20:20.410 --> 00:20:23.230 Ultra or something. That fits. Oh, yeah. Okay. 00:20:23.289 --> 00:20:26.049 I don't mind my golf course dogs having a little 00:20:26.049 --> 00:20:28.849 char on them or even being a roller dog more 00:20:28.849 --> 00:20:32.059 so than steamed, but anyhow. All right. What 00:20:32.059 --> 00:20:35.859 do we have between super pretzel and popcorn, 00:20:36.039 --> 00:20:38.380 boys? I'm going super pretzel. I didn't think 00:20:38.380 --> 00:20:40.319 popcorn should have got this far. So I'm definitely 00:20:40.319 --> 00:20:43.599 taking super pretzel. I'm definitely going popcorn. 00:20:43.680 --> 00:20:48.000 Oh, really? Yeah, popcorn is a movie theater 00:20:48.000 --> 00:20:50.759 delight, not a ballpark delight. Good. I have 00:20:50.759 --> 00:20:53.339 to agree with you on this. And I already exclaimed 00:20:53.339 --> 00:20:56.640 the virtues of how they. Perfectly get the salt 00:20:56.640 --> 00:20:58.660 meaning the ballpark attendance on the super 00:20:58.660 --> 00:21:00.799 pretzels super pretzels through is the two seed 00:21:00.799 --> 00:21:04.259 in the east. All right, it's a travesty Shelled 00:21:04.259 --> 00:21:09.039 peanuts versus encased meat Brat Polish chorizo, 00:21:09.279 --> 00:21:12.019 whatever you want to I'm gonna go shelled peanuts 00:21:12.019 --> 00:21:16.220 brief Again, we're at the ballpark. It's peanuts 00:21:16.220 --> 00:21:18.420 all day long. I have a problem with peanuts. 00:21:18.779 --> 00:21:20.099 I eat too many of them. Peanuts in the shell. 00:21:20.200 --> 00:21:22.599 We keep talking about shelled peanuts. In the 00:21:22.599 --> 00:21:26.519 shell. Not like a cocktail nut or anything like 00:21:26.519 --> 00:21:28.799 that. I'm not talking about a cocktail peanut. 00:21:29.180 --> 00:21:31.660 I'm talking about a shelled peanut that you have 00:21:31.660 --> 00:21:35.059 to crack out of the shell. When was the last 00:21:35.059 --> 00:21:39.019 time you had nuts in your cocktail? Ladies and 00:21:39.019 --> 00:21:41.119 gentlemen, R .B. Seeger is on this show for a 00:21:41.119 --> 00:21:46.140 reason. These are the angles it brings shelled 00:21:46.140 --> 00:21:49.619 this thing Shelled but yeah, it's like putting 00:21:49.619 --> 00:21:51.240 olives in your beer You just throw some nuts 00:21:51.240 --> 00:21:53.839 in there every once in a while. So shelled peanuts 00:21:53.839 --> 00:21:56.700 I have an addiction to probably two things in 00:21:56.700 --> 00:21:58.559 this world. One is pizza I can't stop eating 00:21:58.559 --> 00:22:00.680 it once it's put out in front of me. The other 00:22:00.680 --> 00:22:04.259 is peanuts and as a young lad I experienced a 00:22:04.259 --> 00:22:07.039 situation where I had probably an entire can 00:22:07.039 --> 00:22:10.970 of the cocktail peanuts and about five or six 00:22:10.970 --> 00:22:15.450 beers, and it took days to clear the system of 00:22:15.450 --> 00:22:18.630 that. That's the cement mixer. About a day and 00:22:18.630 --> 00:22:22.349 a half into it, nothing was happening with the 00:22:22.349 --> 00:22:24.309 system in the lower GI. My dad looks at me, he 00:22:24.309 --> 00:22:26.710 goes, what did you eat the other night? I said, 00:22:26.750 --> 00:22:28.890 about five or six beers and an entire can of 00:22:28.890 --> 00:22:31.130 cocktail peanuts. And he looked at me like, he's 00:22:31.130 --> 00:22:34.460 like, son, that makes cement. That's cement. 00:22:34.880 --> 00:22:37.599 Good God. He goes, you just made a cement layer 00:22:37.599 --> 00:22:41.539 in the bottom of your stomach. So that's a that's 00:22:41.539 --> 00:22:43.740 a story for another day. I'm not going to tell 00:22:43.740 --> 00:22:45.380 the back half of that, because it's probably 00:22:45.380 --> 00:22:48.160 not appropriate for the pod. But you can imagine 00:22:48.160 --> 00:22:50.480 it took a little time and some effort and some 00:22:50.480 --> 00:22:53.660 utilities to clear the system. So shelled peanuts 00:22:53.660 --> 00:22:56.160 are advancing. Is that where we're at? Yeah. 00:22:56.579 --> 00:22:59.000 And it sounds peanuts in the shell. Yeah, peanuts 00:22:59.000 --> 00:23:02.039 in the shell. But you got to shell them to eat 00:23:02.039 --> 00:23:06.339 them. And then. Yeah, I mean, as much love as 00:23:06.339 --> 00:23:09.359 we can give the chocolate malt cup on a hot summer 00:23:09.359 --> 00:23:12.519 day and as much frustration and joy as we've 00:23:12.519 --> 00:23:14.960 gotten out of trying to use that small piece 00:23:14.960 --> 00:23:18.319 of wood to get chocolate malt into your mouth. 00:23:18.660 --> 00:23:20.740 Helmet not just has to go through, right? Do 00:23:20.740 --> 00:23:22.880 you think if they gave you an actual plastic 00:23:22.880 --> 00:23:25.660 spoon, the eating of the chocolate malt cup would 00:23:25.660 --> 00:23:28.880 be as enjoyable? No, because the spoon would 00:23:28.880 --> 00:23:32.109 break. Because keep in mind, yeah, these things 00:23:32.109 --> 00:23:35.589 are deeply frozen. The malt cup has been frozen 00:23:35.589 --> 00:23:38.630 since 1979 that you're about to eat probably. 00:23:38.849 --> 00:23:40.650 Actually, I'm pretty sure they initially made 00:23:40.650 --> 00:23:43.190 them to go with the lunar landing and they're 00:23:43.190 --> 00:23:45.569 just left over. Every year they go back into 00:23:45.569 --> 00:23:47.490 like the cabinet at the ballpark and like, what 00:23:47.490 --> 00:23:48.910 do we need to order this year? And like, ah, 00:23:48.910 --> 00:23:52.809 we still got 60 ,000 malt cups from 1978. No 00:23:52.809 --> 00:23:55.329 need to get any of those. So it's just, they 00:23:55.329 --> 00:23:57.809 just keep cranking out what they can there. I 00:23:57.809 --> 00:24:00.869 think the The wood shim they give you to eat 00:24:00.869 --> 00:24:02.990 it with is part of the character of the malt 00:24:02.990 --> 00:24:04.930 club. But yeah, helmet nachos. It's a little 00:24:04.930 --> 00:24:09.150 extra, little extra birch off of Rob Deer's bat. 00:24:11.089 --> 00:24:13.549 They should do that with the malt cups. They 00:24:13.549 --> 00:24:15.730 should put the wood spoon and then on the back, 00:24:15.869 --> 00:24:19.869 put like game used back from 1984. That would 00:24:19.869 --> 00:24:22.569 be great anyhow. That's how you charge a lot 00:24:22.569 --> 00:24:25.329 more for a malt cup. Helmet nachos advances. 00:24:25.789 --> 00:24:29.210 I think that's an obvious one. The Midwest is 00:24:29.210 --> 00:24:31.410 going to play the East, right? So we're looking 00:24:31.410 --> 00:24:34.569 at a steam dog going up against the super pretzel. 00:24:34.890 --> 00:24:37.769 Now we're getting down to the games. Now we're 00:24:37.769 --> 00:24:40.190 getting down to the tough choices. You're at 00:24:40.190 --> 00:24:42.950 the ballpark. Are you going for a steamed dog? 00:24:43.750 --> 00:24:46.750 Naked. No toppings against the super pretzel. 00:24:47.329 --> 00:24:51.049 I go reef. I'm putting, I might put some toppings 00:24:51.049 --> 00:24:53.990 on it, but even if there are no toppings, I go 00:24:53.990 --> 00:24:58.299 dog all day long. dog all day long. I'm kind 00:24:58.299 --> 00:24:59.700 of a fan of the pretzel. I'm kind of surprised 00:24:59.700 --> 00:25:02.660 the pretzel's still around, but that's just me. 00:25:02.660 --> 00:25:05.980 I'm a guy. Easy bracket, Reef. Easy bracket. 00:25:06.579 --> 00:25:10.180 When pizza decided not to show up and not shoot 00:25:10.180 --> 00:25:13.039 well, it was an easy road through Super Pretzel. 00:25:13.039 --> 00:25:15.460 Red liquor throw was too heavy to get off the 00:25:15.460 --> 00:25:17.519 bench. Couldn't even sell them. Couldn't move 00:25:17.519 --> 00:25:20.920 any units. Popcorn. It's just not ballpark. It's 00:25:20.920 --> 00:25:24.619 a movie theater food. Yeah, Super Pretzel advanced. 00:25:25.160 --> 00:25:27.779 Alright, super pretzel advanced steam hot dog 00:25:27.779 --> 00:25:30.859 took it out and a tight one, but it was a good 00:25:30.859 --> 00:25:35.319 game South verse West peanuts helmet nachos boys 00:25:35.319 --> 00:25:38.680 shelled peanuts helmet nachos peanuts in the 00:25:38.680 --> 00:25:46.119 shell peanuts in the shell I've got it down his 00:25:46.119 --> 00:25:49.640 shelled peanuts I'm reading the teleprompter. 00:25:50.000 --> 00:25:53.559 Alright Alright peanuts in the shell. I agree 00:25:53.559 --> 00:25:57.400 peanuts in the shell Peanuts in the shell. Yeah, 00:25:57.420 --> 00:26:00.700 I'm going helmet nachos Oh boy, just in spite 00:26:00.700 --> 00:26:03.200 of what those peanuts did to me 31 years ago. 00:26:03.200 --> 00:26:10.500 Yeah concrete. So that's a polite 31 years All 00:26:10.500 --> 00:26:14.500 right, so yeah, go ahead no, I'm saying at the 00:26:14.500 --> 00:26:17.380 ballpark it's peanuts in the shell for sure so 00:26:17.380 --> 00:26:22.900 this is a enticing tasty championship matchup 00:26:22.900 --> 00:26:26.450 between the steamed dog and shelled or peanuts 00:26:26.450 --> 00:26:29.170 in the shell. However, we want to say it or write 00:26:29.170 --> 00:26:32.450 it down. Boys, Reeve, you're the guest. You get 00:26:32.450 --> 00:26:34.809 to go first. What is the winner? If you can only 00:26:34.809 --> 00:26:37.750 pick one to go with your cold beer on a sunny 00:26:37.750 --> 00:26:40.450 day at your favorite ballpark, who are you going 00:26:40.450 --> 00:26:44.309 with and why? All right. I'm going peanuts because 00:26:44.309 --> 00:26:47.630 I'm at the ballpark with my buddies or family. 00:26:47.829 --> 00:26:51.210 I'm going and you can share. You can share a 00:26:51.210 --> 00:26:55.690 bag of peanuts. No problem. And the salt helps 00:26:55.690 --> 00:27:01.950 with the beer. You're not giving people your 00:27:01.950 --> 00:27:05.230 hot dog, Chet. You're giving people your peanuts 00:27:05.230 --> 00:27:08.829 and you're enjoying the environment. I gotta 00:27:08.829 --> 00:27:11.089 think in reality here. Am I getting up to go 00:27:11.089 --> 00:27:13.490 get a helmet nacho or am I just taking the peanuts 00:27:13.490 --> 00:27:15.430 being passed down the road to me from my friend 00:27:15.430 --> 00:27:17.529 and I'm probably taking the peanuts so I'm gonna 00:27:17.529 --> 00:27:21.559 change my pick. And an overtime shocker. I'm 00:27:21.559 --> 00:27:24.140 going with the peanuts in the shell. I almost 00:27:24.140 --> 00:27:27.720 said shelled peanuts. Peanuts in the shell. Championship 00:27:27.720 --> 00:27:31.940 match. You can only pick one. Dog or nuts? Dog. 00:27:33.559 --> 00:27:36.759 Nuts. I am going to be the tiebreaker and I'm 00:27:36.759 --> 00:27:39.000 going to say nuts because of the communal aspect. 00:27:39.279 --> 00:27:42.359 There's nothing like the bag being passed up 00:27:42.359 --> 00:27:47.480 and down the row. Yeah. My god, that's a no -brainer. 00:27:47.599 --> 00:27:49.740 I'm going dog. You guys know is gonna go dog 00:27:49.740 --> 00:27:52.960 the whole time. Of course Nuts is a good runner 00:27:52.960 --> 00:27:56.779 -up, but chat chat used to rock the cargo shorts 00:27:56.779 --> 00:28:00.539 Have sometimes odd dog would sit in my pocket 00:28:00.539 --> 00:28:03.740 for an hour to Justin like an emergency dog Like 00:28:03.740 --> 00:28:05.700 they were gonna run out or something and I was 00:28:05.700 --> 00:28:08.279 like how to keep that for the fifth inning. Yeah 00:28:08.279 --> 00:28:12.099 Yeah, and and on a cold day they provide warmth 00:28:12.099 --> 00:28:15.900 for your thighs I'll always get you a dog at 00:28:15.900 --> 00:28:19.839 the park, Chet. I think the universe wants peanuts 00:28:19.839 --> 00:28:23.619 in the shell. Alright. Plus, I will say this, 00:28:24.119 --> 00:28:27.460 I've eaten hot dogs elsewhere, not naked and 00:28:27.460 --> 00:28:30.380 steamed, but I really can't think of many other 00:28:30.380 --> 00:28:33.099 times I've eaten peanuts in the shell outside 00:28:33.099 --> 00:28:35.359 of the ballpark. That's true. They are a maybe. 00:28:35.380 --> 00:28:37.400 I don't just sit around the house and crack nuts 00:28:37.400 --> 00:28:39.740 and throw them on the floor all day long. That'd 00:28:39.740 --> 00:28:42.720 be nice. The shell's everywhere. That might get 00:28:42.720 --> 00:28:48.859 us in trouble. It'd be nice Reef do you wish 00:28:48.859 --> 00:28:51.119 your entire house was just a bar room floor? 00:28:51.940 --> 00:28:55.200 I want to put some slats of wood down here and 00:28:55.200 --> 00:28:57.880 just start throwing shelled peanuts down there 00:28:57.880 --> 00:29:01.039 or shells for peanuts. Chet, you've got a little 00:29:01.039 --> 00:29:03.539 South Carolina and yet you ever have steamed 00:29:03.539 --> 00:29:06.420 nuts? I have yeah, I've had some steamed nuts 00:29:06.700 --> 00:29:09.220 once or twice. And I don't think I had it in 00:29:09.220 --> 00:29:10.920 South Carolina. I think I had them at like a 00:29:10.920 --> 00:29:13.180 football game, maybe a Michigan game or something. 00:29:13.319 --> 00:29:15.559 I can't even remember. It's not great. It's not 00:29:15.559 --> 00:29:18.380 great. You're talking the boiled ones that they 00:29:18.380 --> 00:29:21.160 have at every gas station or convenience store 00:29:21.160 --> 00:29:23.299 in the South. There was a phase I went through 00:29:23.299 --> 00:29:25.980 as a kid where I would eat the peanuts in the 00:29:25.980 --> 00:29:27.859 shell. I just eat the whole shell in the nut. 00:29:28.880 --> 00:29:30.740 Apparently that's how you're supposed to do it. 00:29:31.099 --> 00:29:32.980 I was also sampling dog food at that time, too. 00:29:33.019 --> 00:29:37.059 So it was a weird year, but. I did get into the 00:29:37.059 --> 00:29:39.000 peanuts in the shell and the whole thing down 00:29:39.000 --> 00:29:40.660 at once for a while there. I thought it was really 00:29:40.660 --> 00:29:42.779 cool. Wait, go back to the dog food, like kibble? 00:29:43.339 --> 00:29:45.960 Yeah, we had to buy, we had a bin of kibble in 00:29:45.960 --> 00:29:48.299 our room and I was like a tenner lady. I used 00:29:48.299 --> 00:29:50.359 to walk in there. I'd eat a half a milk bone 00:29:50.359 --> 00:29:52.420 every once in a while if I needed a snack. We 00:29:52.420 --> 00:29:54.359 didn't have much in the cupboard. Loyal listeners, 00:29:54.859 --> 00:29:59.019 that is your this week's Detroit Tigers Litterbox. 00:29:59.359 --> 00:30:02.920 RBCger, thank you for joining us. Lovely.
