This is the downbeat. I'm ninety seven to one the freak. Okay, so we didn't get this baseball pant thing. Reade that real quick. So baseball's got a pants problem. Guys, see what could this possibly mean? Let's decode this before he tells us? What are you saying? See through pants is the only teas I've gotten because baseball is a pants problem. I can't possibly guess what this means. So basically, they got new Nike pants.
Nike took over to be the pant distributor, and there's been a few problems with the rollout and some teams are now just using previous pants to get through that spring training his pants. MLB Players Association Director Tony Clark said, quote, the universal concern is the pant. Good sentence, that is a
great sentence. The universal concern is the pant. The first problems of pants are see through, and Bruce Bochie, when asked about it by Evan Grant, he goes, or you're taking a pretty good look there, aren't you having really just good daddy? Were there? Yeah? Asking about these sea through pants and you're looking at my crotch. So we're saying the inner thigh and the billowing crotch. If there's a light behind it is see through, yes, okay, And you can see the outline and shape of the nugs.
You can, you can. I've seen a couple of pictures. Yes, pants you can see nugs. Yeah, it's not dude, it's very it's very much a problem. I mean it's it's crazy. You can see there, especially to their butt too. You can see it all. Yeah. The second problem is there hasn't been enough of the pants made, so they got a shortage of pants and their seat through pants that are unhappy with
them. So usually players would get fitted in uh spring training and then they get request some customization, and then about a week before the season starts, they're set on their pants for the year. But now these requests to take the fabric in like an inch or you know, you want to make it tighter on the bicep or more loose like all of this. There's stuff in the uniforms. They're not allowing these customizations the way they used to it.
I don't know why. So players are basically sorted by three body types of slimmer, regular, and baggy. Those are those are the pants you've got and some players are concerned that if Nike can't supply these, then they're not gonna be able to wear them during the weeks before the regular season. They're not gonna get into it. One player said, guys are gonna be pissed. You don't want to be worried about that BS on opening day. It's
a s show. Another player said, they got a pant problem something they do. Is this MLB wide or is this Yes, so all of the MLB is switching to Nike pants and they're transparent. We have a pant problem universally. Just look to us see through pants. This is one. I mean, look, you can kind of see what's going on all of a sudden. If your shirt's tucked in, you can still cover some of it, Lord, but it's very much a problem. You can see the tail
of your shirt tucked in to your pants through the pants. This is a universal pant problem. Is it made of gray sweatpants material? Okay, I have ever met and I've worked with groups, and that's saying a lot grace sweat I'm asking for the people. Uh huh JJ knows what sweatpants season means. I got I got hipped to that about three or four years ago, heard the girls spilling the beans that they're real excited when fall comes because that
means it's sweatpants season for men. We're going to be spilling the beans. Oh, they're looking the beans. They're on hog watch. No girl thinks the beans. No girls think the beans are hot, right, not look at them beautiful beans. That doesn't make any sense. None of it. Doesn't even mentioned the frank personality. It's on the outside. I think that's the fascination is because it's all on the outside. We're women's Yeah, there is all inside. Yes, ours is on the outside. See, boys
have a penis and girls have a china. I understand. Now. So are we frantically sewing sewing to get new pants ready? MLB sources say, nothing different than the pants from last year. It's a studio lighting problem with some of these pictures. And they're like, no, it's not we're having issues here. Everyone is having this problem because they don't get the pictures taken at the same studio. Like, so we'll be's just here to denying and
the player's complaints are just adding up over here. Like guys, I believe the players. I do too, and I believe the pictures I've seen of the seat through pants like it's it's just it's right there. You can see everything. There's a picture for the padres. I was trying to find it the other day. Maybe it's the giants and he's sitting legs spread while holding a bat on a barstool, and you can see everything in there. You can even see a little bit of his of his butt crack up under the
taint. Was it Reggie the player, the slugger, the news slugger, Reggie Paroni ready to have a breakout year? All right? Fixed, Kevin? Ye female, somebody to fix this. I'll just handle birthdays and then we'll see where it goes from there. We'll start with the deads first. Johnny Cash would have been ninety two. You ever see him play live? I didn't know you, you Kevin Never? Yeah? Tons of times it was he Johnny Cash play live? Are you for real? Why I asked
that money? He died in ninety ten, fifteen years ago? Right when did he die? I mean a couple of years after he put out that hurt cover. It was in probably maybe you're even earlier than that, Yeah, yeah, mid two thousand. The wrong Guy September three. I think Long Black Veil is his best song. September twelve, it's a good one. Fast Domino would have been ninety six. I actually did legend, absolute
legend. We're at Jazz vest No a private event because my dad's old boss was Popeyes, New Orleans, of course, and we when I was a little kid, we went to some private birthday party for Al Copeland and he had Fast Domino performing. Did they serve fried chicken? Because it's Popeyes? They did. They would often be Popeyes Delicious, Popeyes about you know in Popeye's biscuits and now good Pope's bis guitar. So they would have the freshest
biscuits right there and they'd pull them out. They're hot, piping hot, and they would take this paint brush and just butter brush this biscuit right in front of you and hand it to you, and then you would just instantly eat it. You know what I like to do. I like to take a bite of biscuit and then squirt an entire packet of honey into my mouth. That's weird, the squirting, well, but the fresh little trick. That's probably why I only saw part of Fats Domino's performance because I was fat
kid huddled around the biscuit bar. Bobby Hill, d can I have some more biscuits? Get away from the biscuit tray? Bobby, You bastard, Adam Man. I think we need to add Bobby Hill now to the no. I got a handkill on there already. Your handkill is really good. Bobby's not good. Played by Pamela Ade. Jackie Gleason would have been one hundred and eight to the Moon. Alie Gleason uh buried in the same cemetery in Miami as my grandparents are. So I have as his dawn shula,
as I've told you, but I do. Every third time I'll go take a look at Jackie Gleason's grave. He's still there. Why I can't verify that. He has a gravestone with his name written on it. And he's got a great little slogan. I don't think it's to the moon. He's got a fight, hope, not when he's threatening to punch his wife. No, what was it. He's got a good oh, it says, and away we go, and away we go to the moon. Now it doesn't have the moon, but it's a big thing and it says and away
we go, which I thought was a that's a good guy texts. Avery would have been one sixteen. You know he did never heard of him. Don't have a story for any tunes animator. And then John H. Kellogg would have been one seventy two cereal, which would be would have qualified him to be the oldest person. And then Levi Straus would have been one ninety five. He would have taken the crown from John H. Kellogg. He could have fixed this damn baseball pants problem. Just make them wear Levis never
had a pair of sea through jeans on his watch. All right, boys, pivot, We're going with five oh ones opening day. Damn they had to wear wranglers. That's the way, like far BacT like it was comfortable to play football and wranglers when everyone knows it was cutting off your circulation. Hey, that's how they played baseball in my neighborhood. Jeans, geens,
but not wranglers. Don't you think the Rangers should have an alternate uniform that looks like you're wearing jeans and like a Yes Cowboys shirt with pearl snaps. Female Rangers prune day. I mean you're wearing normal stuff, but it looks like jeans and like a shirt with whatever that thing is and pearl snap like a relatable day. You know, we're all in it together, you know,
cowboys like you. Well not yeah, the regular clea sput somehow they look their socks look like cowboy boots or however, you do it, do it nice, wonderful, make it really nice. You did see the spring training caps got released today by MLB. No, yeah, they're all throwbacks. Somebody might have placed an order this morning, really, Danny, because they're a new era fifty nine or whatever, five nines or fifty nines or whatever. It's my lid, bro. It's a nice hat. Yeah,
it's cool. It's red, white and blue with the old silly Tea logo. You guys are both wearing Texas Ranger hats today. Well, we're about a month and two days away from opening day, Mike, and after that MAVs performance, I didn't feel right about we're in my city. I could probably do without the countdowns until baseball and the update. Like Twitter's a lot on that little box score. They used to work on a show where we read the strip spring training box score every day and had an opening and clothes
for it. You sing the song for us, I won't come on it. And now's the time when we's now the time, Now's the time. Now's the time when we read the Spring Training bunks score something like that. No, the Rangers box score, Spring Training box written and recorded in Port Charlotte. There you go. Erkabaddi's fifty three. She had Thundercat come up to her birthday party. Damn this weekend. That looked like a throwdown.
DJ Menas who was at the Kessler Friday night. Then I saw him on stage at Erica Badu's show, the jagging of the big screen back drop. I was like, oh yeah he he upgraded the next night though, no doubt. And then, uh, Michael Bolton's seventy one, and I've got another birthday. Should we cold call this guy? I don't know, I mean maybe not. Mark Followell's fifty three. I'll leave him alone, Okay, Happy birthday, Mark, Happy birthday Mark? He blocked us. Oh
well, he's playing Cleveland right or wherever they're going. Uh, stop it, guess some talkbacks from the iHeartRadio app. It's where we have a red microphone button and you can leave us up to a thirty second voice message and they go something like this, Hey guys, Jeff, I'm Tulsa. Yeah. Shane Gillis has an uncle Danny. He talks about him in his stand up all the time. He's a down syndrome guy who makes grilled cheeses at
night and he smuggles them into restaurants. It's probably some of the funniest stuff he talks about. I mean, you'll have a great one, all right, Uncle Danny. Uncle Danny's a good bit. He makes his own grilled cheese and then brings them to restaurants. I love it. It's me Christopher Waking Nada. You know, I'm like a mix of Christopher Walking and Arnold any Ways, is the Foo Fighters That guy, it's all He's just driving to work and he's like, man, I got this funny verstination. It's
me and I think, what's an egger? There's something there and the truth is pretty easy pass to get through the gate sometimes, and that one. If you're telling me that you're kind of doing an impersonation, I'm probably gonna put it on. Whether it's good or bad. I just see, I just see the process. I see the guy sitting in traffic and he's kind of mine's wandering, he's thinking, and after a couple of minutes he has this Eureka moment, goes, where's my phone? It's time, that's time.
Eureka. He goes for it. Here we go. This is like it's a dancer. Brud though she was so good on radio, Crandell wouldn't put a sign up. Still calling bs on Crandall. I'm telling you, get the mayor on right now. Mike, you have to do this for Christina. You have to make it happen. Use your celebrity to get the Crandall. Christina kra cornbread not bread sign. Come on, Bennetts Ginner dropping
the ball here. So it's up to you. Yeahvin. They got the guy on and the guy was like, I'll help try to push it through. I'll see what I can do. Then they called my mayor of my hometown. He's like, yeah, we'll have one up in a few weeks. They never got it done, but they're gonna put a little two clips and a little dangling sign beneath there, welcome to the city sign that says home of Kevin Turner. A couple of beans Kevin Durant is not a little bitch. No, who is Kevin K. T. Turner a little bitch?
Damn? Just me kidding, man. I'm honoring the memory of a buddy who was a cousin of my friend that we used to do a podcast with, and that was what he said every time Kevin came up, you know, because it was a podcast about the Freak and he died nineteen years ago. All checks out. Let me, Detective Glass, this, yes, that's all agit. No, no, Katie, I'm not calling you
a bitch to your face right now. I'm actually reminiscing about all the times that me and my dead friend called you a bitch behind your back on our podcast that went out to dozens and dozens of people. It's it's trust me. It makes it makes sense. He's dead. I think I think the people maybe aren't believing him, you know. Uh, man, Kevin Durant looked at those people with the same face that I looked at my radio with when I heard a thirty minute story about Bondo. I can't remember where I
heard it, but it was somewhere on the radio. Anyway. I love you guys, Stay freaky. That was the old me before I learned to speak in bite size yeah portions. The new truncated bay list is better truck in day two when he was here and told us about Bondo for thirty minutes, and then Kevin played the whole thing for some poor blogger fellas. I can confirm I just went to max Ago for the first time about a month ago. And when you get to the border, you just cross. No
one asks you nothing, You pay your three dollar fee. No one checked you for a passport, no one checks you for an ID, none of that. You only needed coming back into the US. Well I needed it coming back, all right. That's interesting because I got absolute mixed responses on the tech. Some people said, you absolutely, since I guess nine to eleven need a passport going to Mexico. I heard very confident answers on both sides. I mean, he's not a confident and strong. Well, they're
good people on both sides. Hey boys. When I was five years old, I saw Steing standing in the middle of a WCWE and wearing face paint. I was like, Wow, this guy wears face paint at his job, just like my dad does. And right then and there I fell in love. With professional wrestling. This Sunday, Steen has his retirement match in Greensboro, North Carolina, and thanks to my best friend, him and I
will be in attendance. I will cry like the shy dancing bitch that I am, but I will use those tiers to prank every rod a then a school miles. Well, anyways, boys, we're forty days away from WrestleMania. That's the Showcase of the Immortals. Mike, I love your Evan Bonds. Oh oh man, that was actually like very sentimental. Was Is that really happened? Sting's final match? Is this? I guess so crank Rod again. Crank Rod always finds us way in there and he's gonna crank every
rod within forty square miles using tears as a lubricant. I guess I was doing. It's the weirdest thing I worked with the Cowboys a little bit. Has been podcasts for them. You've been this podcast studio and you know, every once in a while, they'd bring through luminaries to kind of swing by and you happen to be doing your show and they're just kind of waving at you through the window, you know, having Neil McCoy walked in one time, me and Joe Green. But the weirdest one is a fully painted sting.
Yeah, and you're like, this place is a circus. I was just imagining Mike McCarthy trying to get stuff done. We mull sting is walking the holidays seeing the black and white crow. Look, it was the most recent black, yellow and blue. He looked like dayl Earnheart's old car, the black and white. Uh yeah, the crow era. Yeah? Was it cool? Did you get a picture? I didn't get a picture, but it was just like you're not expecting it is. They'll tell you it's
happening. That three more baby, get my narc and ready KT twenty twenty four, President relegalizing everything, bitches. Yeah yeah, support, there we go. Did anybody ever find Homeboys, Twofoot, Lizard or whatever, monitor whatever the hell? Oh we do, that's resolution maybe tomorrow. Akt Brett Favre didn't wear them nut cutting wranglers. He was the relaxed fit guy. His his chod was all good up and there let's see update on the lizard. We had to be out by nine fifty eight lizards dead. Yeah,
found it. He found it in his yard. I sent you the damn link. Yeah, we talked abut the last street, didn't we No, I just sent you over the weekend cut of a picture of his Facebook thing. He said he found the monitor Lizard in his own backyard, bloated, bloated, looked like him dead and he suspects someone threw it over the fence.
I don't know, maybe he's just in his backyard and croaked. But Katie would like to offer a handsome reward if anyone any information leading to the capture of the person that killed and threw the monitor lizard into the backyard or the squirrel who killed it or dog. But it is a sad story. Sadly. Hey w back tomorrow morning at six am for JJ for Mike yan a podcast say what we do and we're gonna reload. So everyone enjoyed the Vind and Skin show.
