The scuttle Butt got an interesting story that kind of hit the last day or So the ride haling service Alto is now the only ride
haling service that's allowed to pick up customers at love Field curbside. All right, So if you wanted to take an uber or a lift, I don't to hew on either to love Field. I'm an Alto man for about a year now. I'm an Alta man as well until I told the story here about going down to the parade and all that stuff. Just get the Alto out up. It's great, but for the next they sign a five year
deal locked it in. Alto is the only one that you can get curbside service from, or curbside drop off and pick up from at love Field. So if you are one of those lunatics who's driving an uber or riding an uber or lyft, you're gonna have to have a designated area you get dropped off at in the parking garage, which leads you to about a ten minute walk. We have to drag all your crap to the nerd zone. Yeah, when you could just get dropped off right there boom and trust me,
the all To drivers they'll get out. Now, grab your baggage, your luggage out of the out of the back of the car. Place it there for you. They'll have water, they'll have a cell phone charger for you.

Uh, I don't know, you know what, I wouldn't
be surprised with them, seriously. The the vibe thing with the music is really cool. Yeah, because if you for me, I was kind of changing it a lot. Yeah, and uh you can tell the driver was going you get scared not to roll you. Yeah, he just kind of jumps. Oh yeah, I went up a little bit. What's your Alto rating? Cavio perfect? You sure? For sure? Kevin's perfect? I think studies were done that show otherwise those what studies? What website did you
see it? Don't worry about that, do well? Do you mean? Don't worry about it? You just let me and Mikey handle the studies. I so they had a big five year, five year contract because at Wednesday's meeting, Nollas City Council members approved that it's all Alto and then you know, what's interesting to me is it is it just like I think if people have it programmed in their head that it's just uber and lyft, and it's like there are other ones alto being the one that and it's they're they're taking
over Dallas. They're not in every city you know they're in. I think they're in Houston, and I think they're LA And I want to say Miami is the other one. If there's a nothing one, I don't know about it. I'm not sure, Like this is kind of an exclusive thing that we have here and we should be taking advantage of it. Alto, there's a big stuff happening this weekend. Did you guys know that the Sweet sixteen

It was like they're going to Dallas, and I didn't think about it again until Wednesday. It's not the first time that's happened. We've hosted lots

Yeah, center of Zubas is not Dan Marino's lower bodies. Possible that maybe I've been saying it the Mark Gaston and Marino's and Joey buttafuos of the world. Fast pant.

Most Instagrammable spots in Texas A big list came out Big survey Most Instagrammable spots in Texas, which is this is what just the coolest places to take a picturette in Texas by Milton Pool number one. Oh that's a good one. Hamilton Pool is number twenty five. Damn it to Dallas eyeball. I mean I don't see it. Actually, you know what it'd beyond there's not Yeah, it's not all right. Alamo the Alamo boom boom boom. I don't think people have a lot
of twenty three river Walk okay, number one. Really the Riverwalk number one, it's wautiful. I know, I love the peepe on the river Walk in sometimes in the river Walk, but other than that, it's beautiful. Wherever I saw this. It was tracked by total number of hashtags. I like San Antonio, Okay, So keep in mind. Oh, a good portion of the world doesn't mess with hashtags, but that's how they tracked it.
So but the Riverwalk number one, number two, Big Ben National Park, of course, of course, number three at and T Stadium, Jerry wins again, that's great, Jerry. Number four, big texts proving that Big Tex should have beat Barney. I now, yeah, but all of the Instagram photos or somebody holding a corn dog up to where his wiener should be and getting the depth perception just rideouts got big dog mustard on it Instagram. Nobody's ever done this before. Bill, hey man, people just want
to go to the fair and have a good time. Original idea and then if you have any of those sinding our way, yeah, please, No, we have too many ideas. That's our problem. We have original ideas. Yeah. Fair five, the Houston Zoo, Stockyard number nine, Dallas Zoo eleven, Fort Worth Zoo sixteen. Fort Worth is usually you know, everybody prefers the fort Worth's Zoo over the Dallas Zoo, and it's great. I love but dude, don't underdo sleep on the Dallas Zoo. It's but
I will tell you this. I always try to tell you guys this stuff when I know what happened before I ever set foot in Texas, and as a young boy in Florida. I don't know why, but I'd heard of the fort Worth Zoo, and I knew that the fort Worth Zoo was legendary. It was always at the top of the list of American zoos. I always would read the latest on the best zoos in America, and I remember fort Worth's who was always up on there. I admitted I'd never heard of
the University of North Texas. It's I lived, big, big, Sorry. Advice I would say is, if you're going to go to the Forward Zoo, don't stop at him barbecue and stuff yourself and then go to the Forward Zoo because you'll get real sweaty. I'm just saying the Ford Zoo is so damn big Dall said, don't let you drink beer Forward Zoo unless that's changed. Doll's who. You can walk around the beer, but don't have a big plate of meat and then go. So this is something that you
zue first, then get delicious barbecue. That's the operation. So you're Temmy just started going, I don't even be here anymore. You see you're around these phenomenal creatures that you could never see on a day to day basis a unique opportunity to look at wildlife. And you're just going, I'm gonna make it if I am gonna bind. So you show up at the zoo after gorging a three meat combo. Yeah, and you got the meat sweats cool off with beer. They didn't have beer popping burn ins like pez uh huh.
Another one he had a burns Tracy Dispenser, what a reference? Okay, last story of the scuttle button. We're gonna move on. We'll take your time. You have special guests coming up. Marshall Mescato, the Rangers assistant VP of marketing, assistant to the VP of marketing. Okay, and he's discussing the promo items that you can now have at the ballpark. I've seen all these stories on TV. It looks like they're still scrambling to figure
out what some of the promo items are going to be. For their interview in twelve minutes, the gambling website bet Us is hiring a winger kind of shore to travel around to the ballparks. Would you four travels covered? Okay, travels covered game tickets are covered and you get twenty five hundred dollars flat fee once and you also get a five hundred dollars gift card to mlbshop dot
com. And all you have to do is go to every ballpark and measure the length, the girth and the weight of each hot dog, because they're going to get the data and see which ballpark has the biggest dog. Who's doing this? They're asking for someone to do bet us. Wait, oh, they're paying the gambling side is doing They're paying a fan to do this. Yeah, I'm sorry. Travel is covered? What does that mean?
Gas for your car or flights to every every ballpark? And your expense is twenty five dollars flat fee game tickets bought for each and travel will be covered for each one. They'll they'll get with you on the schedule. Lodging, your lodging, food and travel travels covered. It doesn't say lodging, no, No, they're they're giving you twenty five hundred dollars per diem to cover all of your expenses outside of airline tickets pass Do you need to lodge?
I mean? Do I feel like if you do it right, you could probably knock out six to eight in a day, and you get this done in like a five day span the world that go in get the hot dog eight in a day, a day game here, hit a night game at another ballpark. You got got Chicago and one night. I can get l A done in one night. I can get that New York done in one day. That's the TikTok we need is you go to every ballpark in the shortest amount of time ever. That is a good tick. While measuring hot
are you allowed to eat the hot dogs? You have to throw them away right after the taste as much as you want. But they just want length, girth, and weight for each one. Stupid thing. Why all hot dogs are kind of the same. I mean they get them from different companies, Like what's the different because they're searching for bet Whise bet Us. They're
searching for the biggest and then what regular jumbo? Like there's five different kind of hot dogs at every park, right and the cheese and chili and the boomstick. I mean, can't you just call the ballpark and have them go out and measure their wiener and just get the data over the phone. I've you five dollars if you just measure that hot dog for me, and they send me two pictures of it. It says that they are looking for someone who is well They also want you to get the price too, but they
look looking for someone who's well versed in the world of wieners. Okay, so they want idiots like us to read their stories, so we say, bet us. Somebody goes holler at Riley Reid. Danny's so right, why don't you just call? I mean, they'll have that pretty easy to get over the phone, right or an email? Yeah? And what do you
mean girth or width? He's onto something though. They're trying to get some cute girl to go out there holding a hot dog so they can use it for their Instagram Next to the Alamo another land, and the Alamo doesn't have an MV ballpark whatever. I'm just saying. I'm talking about instagrammable sites. Kevin, he just did a story on that and Alamo made the list. Kind of girth is diameter? Wait and away the hot dog? Just the
dog got away? Yeah, you gotta put it on a scale. Okay, Well, Mikey's got the triple beam, so yeah, you know he can do. Okay, that's enough of that that's skinner bribe. I don't know if that last one was that good of a story. Now it's Opening Day, man, good hot dog baseball story and Opening Day you could only wish to have a guest like Tom Glavin at nine o'clock.
