0:00 here and there I think I'm more like MMA and then uh like I don't religiously follow but maybe I mean it may I do and then probably women's darts women's stars [Music] all right so Major League Baseball is kind of going through this strange situation you guys know how they added a pitch clock yeah no no where is that the pictures are like yo step it up oh they gotta go yeah they kept taking forever on the mound like you just gotta you got a limited time to throw it yeah so just changing that one thing brought the length of the game shorter by like 30 minutes whoa that's it was so still like what five hours are they trying to make it more quicker so people in like yeah because it's it's like uh and it's I

0:51 think it averages like two and a half hours now all right three two and a half hours to three hours yeah that's a long day yeah it is a long game though but yeah the weird situation with this is that because now that the games are faster stadiums are selling less concessions oh ████ dilemma less hot dogs and and to make matters worse so the rule is for most stadiums is that you're not allowed to serve alcohol past uh the seventh inning or at the seventh day oh yeah yeah so it stops faster yeah so people can sober up um and then drive home or whatever they need to do but now that the games are shorter you would think they would push the sales back to the sixth inning but instead they've allowed it to the eighth inning because it's going fast we're trying to make up for it the thing is by the game when the game's over by the time the

1:42 game's over you're drunk as ████ drunk as ████ yeah yeah so you got a lot more people driving drunk and uh some actual Major League Baseball uh pitchers are speaking out saying that it's putting the fans in danger no it's not because the fancy would be smart enough to drink does this looks called tricky responsibly God damn it are we all gonna baby everybody now what's going on what's going on the world now but also like if it's only gonna cut the game by 30 minutes just just ████ take their time pitching that's what I think like is 30 minutes gonna be that big of a day from 2 30 to 2. yeah like it's still a two hour game I think it's the pacing it's the because like 30 minutes doesn't sound like a lot but when you split that up between how long a guy is taking to throw a ball that's a long time like yeah 30 minutes

2:32 is just in the pitch but you know it's part of the drama dude it's part of the ████ yeah the drinking theme though that's on the fans yeah it's like if you're gonna drink go Uber to the game or whatever you know or you got a designated driver hold the ████ up but what if what if innocent people get hit by drunk drivers yeah no no no that's the thing dude drunk driving is gonna happen but it's like you can't control what people they're gonna drink drink and drive regardless you know what I'm saying like this guy can't if you are if you're the type of guy that's gonna ████ drink and drive you're already a wild ████ wolf yeah you're a wild does it matter if the game is like three hours long you're gonna probably leave ████ up anyways but that's the same it's kind of the same reason why places have alcohol cutoffs at all like two two a.m they stop serving it's so hard yeah I know because people are still going to do it people are gonna do it so they're trying to limit their ability to make that how do we make more responsible

3:22 citizens there you go there you go you have to start with the school I don't want our leaders to do a joke how do we make responsible humans let's do prohibition but better because like what in L.A you can't drink past two right yeah in high school all of my friends are drinking and driving were happening at like 10 or 11 because we're trying to go somewhere so it doesn't whether it's two or four a.m or midnight didn't matter it's arbitrary like what he's saying where it's just cars yeah if you're just a crazy ass ████ you're just a crazy ass ████ it doesn't matter that's what I'm saying it's gonna be a wild boy what if we had better public transportation it'd be fine because then there's less drunk drivers like in Japan everyone just knocks out on the ground oh true they get drunk and then you see them on the floor yeah it's alternative

4:12 yeah the weird thing is it is an opposite move though in terms of the game got shorter so they're selling at a later inning that is weird yeah because they're trying to make up for the Lost sale they would have gone which makes sense but it's like and that's what the Phillies pitcher Matt Strom is saying he's like billionaires are still gonna want to make their money they don't care wait why don't they why don't they just cut off alcohol but let them sell other stuff because they buy food too right nah now when those guys come in there get ████ up dude how about this make the game more exciting so they don't have to drink whoa isn't that part of the culture of baseball games I've never been to a baseball yeah you're just kicking it you're just there to ████ around yeah eat some hot dogs there for the beer hot dogs and hanging you guys go to a lot of baseball games no I do I do I own a lot of games a lot of them which ones Angels or Dodgers Dodgers well my girl works

5:02 for the Dodgers I have to go to the games you have to so it's like a bombed out about it your girl works at the Dodge Studio yeah yeah so I have to be at the games and stuff so I do not have to but I go to the games and I'm like but you still have fun yeah by myself but I'm just like watching it and she's working and stuff but I'm always I'm just like yeah dude it's like to me it's like I don't really I don't like sports in general so I'm just kind of like I'm just like all right cool cool no so every now and then it gets exciting and I'm just all right cool but for the most part you know the waiting and and it's a lot of foul balls and I'm like another foul ball in the Bright Stadium lights and then make contact and then you know what I mean but now I understand the game a little bit more with like the batter in the picture like Head to Head type of thing so I get it now I'm like oh okay see what's going on here I get the war of attrition thing but I I just could

5:52 never get into it yeah just a little bit slow it's like great game to play when you're playing it it's fun well you're playing it is fun but watching it is like I'd rather play it's like watching Jiu Jitsu I'd rather be hitting all the league it was ████ pretty cool to watch I do like it when the pitcher throws the ball at the batter it just beams him in the head like I love the plays when someone's like they they throw the ball to First and they throw it oh yeah you know like I love those exchanges you know but then it calms down after that yeah but then it's ████ dead right so my thing with sports is like I'm the guy that's like I'll watch any finals yeah yeah get me to the final yeah and like in basketball get me to the last game because all the ████ seven ████ you know games six games I was like why but they say that the finals is watching all the other

6:43 games is what makes that one pay off yeah that's because you know the story this guy sat out for here this injury but that's exactly it just give me the preview of that yeah I'm in I just don't want it to happen but you just want the cliff notes like the UFC UFC fight yeah just like when they get to it I'm like cool that's the storyline okay I'm going in there not picking who I'm gonna choose this last fight I I didn't I didn't pick yeah and then when I heard the ████ uh he kept beating him and beating him and beating him and I'm like what then I'm going for the other guy what did I got to win yeah I wanted to win I didn't know nothing about it you watch a fight crazy right that was the first fight I actually paid and watched really what the ████ kind of fun right because I wanted to see uh George because I was ████ watching him since I was like a kid sound like an X clock I always watch them on YouTube and stuff I used to be like beat people up yeah dude

7:33 you know I think I'm gonna get into boring sports betting oh yeah because then you'll start watching um like college sports and ████ because you're betting dude but that's the thing I couldn't bet on this last fight because it was I was in California uh I'll give you a site I'll give you some yeah dude because Bovada yeah Bovada oh okay because I was like I want some action what's going on it's a Latvian betting site oh ████ thing about batting for I think I'm just gonna think DraftKings I did DraftKings ████ drafting each other told me like sorry dude cat you're a ████ common foreign I think I'd get into sports more that way are you a sports guy nah I liked
