Hey, 4Play listeners, you can find us every Tuesday and Thursday on Apple Podcast, Spotify, or YouTube. Prime members can listen ad-free on Amazon Music. Foreplay, we're at Barstool Sports. We are back. We're live. That reminds me right away. Ain't no lobby podcast. No, we don't like it.

Why? Because it is a lobby. So it's just like not. Yeah, but everybody wears ain't no hobby gear and it is a hobby. It's not a hobby. For you, it's a hobby. For you, it's a hobby. But you're wearing a hobby.

It's a hobby for you. Because it's like a funny saying that. kids says. It's a funny saying that people were saying. But it literally is a lobby. I like late checkout. Late checkout, I thought it was a good one.

Yep. Why? It's a saying about, not everything has to be a play on something. Late checkout is great. Lobby potty is better than a lobby.

Lobby potty? Lobby potty. The lobbyist. I just got a couple of those. I like the lobbyist a little bit. Aino lobby is it's lazy

it's lazy you think a checkout desk or whatever is like not late checkout is really good that's like that's not lazy no we thought about like sayings and terms about ain't no lobby feels like it's a prisoner of the moment it literally is a lobby

it is a lobby only person we do is a show late or something yeah it's like we're it's a late checkout we're hanging around the lobby which is what you do and you have a late checkout this dude fucking loves ain't no lobby Riggs does. No, no, I don't, if, if he's ready to go to war for it. No, no, I'm just curious.

It's coming off like a really bad. Like you're in a really bad mood right now. I was just curious about like if, if ain't no lobby, but it's a lobby. Make sure you watch on YouTube to make sure you really get the tone of what's going on here, not just listening to the audio. Do you? I was going to say, Jake's like fighting for his life right now. I think you're kind of the one. I don't, I'd feel fine.

I love late check out. I thought ain't no lobby just doesn't make any sense because it is a lobby. That's how I feel as well. Why would we do a podcast in the lobby? It says ain't no lobby. Why would you think about that? Let's think about that logic. This is an ain't no lobby pod.

This one. We're literally on the backyard of a golf board. Because this ain't no lobby. I guess I didn't know we took everything so literally. I just thought it was kind of a fun name. I guess I didn't, I don't, if you're going to go by that premise, I don't understand why late checkout would make a lot more sense. Because you're not checking out of the hotel or you're in the lobby.

You're not out of the hotel yet. Who is it? The people doing the podcast. dude. If we did a lot, if we did a hotel podcast, why would late checkout not make sense? Just because we're not checking out

in that moment. We're just like, correct. We're in the lobby. We're hanging out in the hotel. So when you get a laid checkout, you don't just stay in your room. Isn't that why you get a late?

You can go to the bar. You can go to the lobby. I don't want to do the lobby podcast anymore. No, I don't. I think we, I think that podcast is now dead. Here's full disclosure.

We've done the bar so classic today and I think, I don't know, you're raising a weird mood because we're like, it's been late, you know, two days in a row, I get it.

A lot of handshakes, a lot of people fucking around. And it's just, I don't know, tempers are high. I just like it a lot. I don't think tempers are pretty much. So we won't go with them. We'll go something different. Yeah. We can go with late checkout.

We had two guests on the show. We did have two guests. We had Brian Arlacker and we had. Corey Kispert with a tea at the end. Two really good guests. Yeah. You put that leg down? Yeah.

No, it's all right. Yeah, Corey was great. We had him for like 50 minutes, and he just felt like a fourth mic on the podcast, quite honestly. He was awesome. Really good on the podcast. He's 23, which is, you know, that's really young, but he's just like very polished. Obviously, he's been doing media forever and he went to Gonzaga and had a great rookie season. He was great.

And then fucking Brian Erlacker, man, we spent time with JJ Watt two days ago and we spent time with Brian Urlacker today. Obviously, those are two of the greats of all time in terms of NFL defensive players. for me personally. Crazy. Brian Urlacker, as, I mean, I played football. I told him this. I played football in the mid-2000s, high school football.

I was bald and I was a linebacker. So Brian Erlacker was a big deal to me. It's as big as it gets when you talk about football players. He's a stud, man. You know, from 2000 on, you say the names, Brian Erlacker and J.J. Watt, and those are two of the best of all time. Sure.

In our presence. J.J. Watt was a guy that you saw him in real life. You're like, I can't live him look at J.J. Watt. Brian Erlacker was a guy. was a guy multiple times I had to tell myself we're talking to brian or lacker right now that guy from the bears 13 years college football hall of fame the league for a while pro football hall of fame all one jersey the city of chicago cold super bowl appearance iconic his hair now we didn't talk about it no because we had a very i mean we were talking about what we might want to talk to him

about and then when we started talking it all felt very natural you have a hat on the whole time get a hat on he did yeah probably less notice then. He had hair underneath there. I mean, he was his bald as shit. He was a bald king. He was like the bald guy. Like, when he talked about bald athletes,

it was Brian Erlacker and now he just has hair. It's something that, you know, it's been in the news. He, like, at first, he denied getting hair plugs, I think. I remember that? It was a couple years ago. And then now he just, like, endorses it.

Yeah, he's got an endorsement. He has an endorsement with him. He's pushing this awesome new company that shows the value of trading cards, which I thought was awesome. I legitimately would have needed this. last week when cleaning out my childhood bedroom. Looking at old trading cards.

The trading card world is wild. It's starting to pop up again. People are like online. They go crazy for it. It's crazy. NFTs are insane, but this is like legitimately an app that scans your current card

and says this is how much it's worth, which is so cool for people to go back to their grandparents' house or you know, you go through all the old boxes, see exactly what kind of value you have. It was cool. But yeah, Barstow Classic. Second Day here, Mesa Country Club.

We're out here on the patio. Brian, Erlacker plate. Erlacker played. We talked a little bit about that. Somebody shot a fucking 60 today on their own ball. Barry Enright. 60, Barry Enright. Former pitcher pitching coach, I think, for the Diamondbacks.

No. The Diamondbacks? I mean, that's... 60. Missed a five-footer for 59. Is that what it was? I believe so. Pushed a five-footer for...

And I said to him, I was like, oh, man, that's got to be a personal best. And he was like, no, I shot up 59 a few months ago. I was like, that's cool. That's cool. I don't know how I understand how he's not like a plus seven. Dude can just play. Is it plus two or something like that? I think he says he's plus two or three, but I have to audit that.

It feels like pretty low score. I just, you know, there were a lot of moans and groans in the crowd at the Barso Classic when they heard the summer shot of 60 on their own ball. A lot of guys out here trying to make it to Greyhawk, the championship, and you got this fucking guy out here shooting a 60 on his own ball. That's, I mean, also be better. It's like, it's just competition. Someone's better than you.

True. But fuck, man, that's, that's a good golfer. That is true. It's a golf tournament. Somebody just plays better golf than you. It's really hard to be upset about that. Yeah. But boy, a 60 is an extremely.

low numbers. So congrats to Barry. Him and his brother have qualified like every year. So he clearly they're just good players. Oh, we have an announcement. We're going to be doing a live show. I don't know that we've ever done a live show, like a real live show. In Boston, the Monday of U.S. Open Week, we will be doing a live show at the Wilbur Theater. A little nerve-wracking

for being honest with one another. Yeah. I'm a live show veteran. I don't have any nerves about it whatsoever. Trent is our experience veteran when it comes to this. I really don't. They're fun, dude. They are fun. Because you know what's great? And you guys will find this out. It's our show. and there are fans.

It's not people who don't know who we are showing up and coming to see a show. It's people who know us and who like us enough to purchase a ticket to the Wilbur to come see us. So it'll be fun. Wilbur's a big venue. It's going to be a lot of fun. The Monday before the U.S. Open. We're going to have special guests out there.

Anytime I've ever performed in front of a live audience, I've had a drum kit in front of me. We played a house of blues and Boston. We've done Irvin Plaza. We went all around, different colleges. It's a lot of fun being on stage. it's an adrenaline rush, but usually I'm able to slam the drums and play, rage against the machine or sublime. And like I can just get through that. I don't have to actually speak. It should be interesting to have a live mic in front of all those people

when you have to just like talk. You know what I mean? It's going to get, it's going to be real wacky. So Thursday at noon Eastern standard time is when our tickets will go on sale for June 13. So as people are listening to the show, it's Thursday. If you're listening to, you know, afternoon and this puppy's live. You can go get tickets. Wilbert, June 13th. It's a Monday night. We're going to have special guests. We're working on, I imagine you can guess some of the guys that we're working on that we think would be phenomenal for a live show.

But it's U.S. Open Week. Brookline, the country club. That's 1913. Francis, we met the whole deal. So there's a lot of history going on, a lot of chatter about the U.S. Open. Was that where Matthew Fitzpatrick, I think, won his U.S. amateur? Was that the country club in Brooklyn? I think that's correct.

So it'll be obviously a phenomenal week, Boston. where this company started, was founded, Dave, the whole deal. U.S. Open going there, Monday, Wilbur, June 13th. We're going to do a great shot. And then before, we're actually going to do limited VIP tickets that include like a meet and greet, drinks, merch, the whole deal. So it's going to be a really fun night. Make sure that you are paying attention noon Thursday, which is today when the podcast comes out, Eastern Time. Tickets go on sale for the Wilbur.

Okay. Do we have anything else? Father's Day merchandise. Oh, yes. On sale. Father's Day is coming up rapidly. Our merch team, again, has knocked it out of the park. You have to get this stuff now because if you want to get it for your daddy,

by the time it comes for Father's Day, you're going to want to give Daddy his gifts. Stop saying Daddy, please. Yeah, I mean. Dad. I think if I've got a really good collection. If I called my Dad Daddy, he would just crush me into dust. It is what it is, man. You know, I got a Daddy.

I do. I have a Daddy. And I'm going to get him Father's Day merch from. Barstle store. That's just what it's going to happen. Go check out the website. They do a great job. All of our stuff is just killer. I saw some, I don't know if it's coming out for Father's Day, but I saw some real good hoodies coming out. I know I did too. I don't know if that stuff's coming out for Father's Day, but that's also something to keep in your tickler file. This stuff's just really good. It's really good. Head covers. I saw like a water bottle thing with

the new B-cross tea thing. That's such a dad. It's such a dad purchase that you want to get your dad a nice cooler for his waters. My brother's dad. He loves water. bottles. Yeah. It's, it's, uh, fucking loves them. Just go look at it. It's really good. It's on sale now.

And then aside from that, oh, another live show. I have to, I was asked to personally announce this. I know you've already heard about this from other podcasts, aka part of my take. Um, I'm playing in a live show. Yes, you are. Um, October 1st, Saturday, October 1st in Maryland, Ocean City, Maryland. We're playing in a festival, Pup Punk. It's OAR's new Ocean, Ocean's Callings Festival.

Who else is on that? Who else is playing during that festival? We're playing. So it's Pup Punk. Yep. It's Alanus Moreset. Heard of her. It's Dave Matthews.

Heard of him. It's sublime. Heard of them. It's. The Luminaires. The Luminers. It's Young the Giant. Heard of them.

The list, honestly, goes on and on and on. And then it's just us. So if you're in town, make sure you make the trip. It's not Memorial Day. It's Ocean City, Maryland. October 1st, the whole weekend, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, we'll be out there on Saturday. It's going to be a hell of a fucking time. And that, to me, is more, is one of the more ridiculous things that's ever happened to me in my entire life that we're playing on the same stage as Dave Matthews.

Well, you guys are a fake band. We are. And I don't mean that derogatory as a derogatory statement. Jimmy E World is playing the same day as us. So we can't play the middle. It's our opener. Our opener is the middle. And the band that plays the middle is going to be playing after us.

So we can't play it. The drum Twitter is going to not. like you that week. No, we were we were at a live show last night. Um, at the bar so classic, we did like a live event, um, for dinner and bar and drinks at the bar. What was that boondocks? Boondocks. Yeah, there was a live band. There's a live band. And I'm like, looking at Trent, I'm like, can you believe how good this fucking band is and that I'm going to be playing in a fucking live festival in Ocean City Maryland with OAR and fucking Mark Robber's and all. It's crazy. Right. We felt so talented. I felt horrible. We felt that way in Nashville a lot. Yep. There were these just

awesome bands playing in Nashville. Obviously, people go to Nashville to try to make it, and the bands there are insane. And they play in front of eight people, and they're just otherworldly talented. And now your fake band is going to play in front of, I don't even know how many, Saturday Day Festival, probably going to be a lot.

A lot of people, I think. I asked Jake that. Jake seems like a festival guy. It's going to be a lot of people. A couple thousand, maybe. I mean, hopefully. Everyone got to go buy tickets. What's the biggest show you guys have done?

Far and away. what was the biggest before this oh sorry um probably house of blues i would assume how many is that i think it was like close to 2000 oh it's a lot of people yeah it's a lot of people uh so all kinds of live shit coming up for the fellows yeah we got a lot of live shit going on well we got two awesome interviews uh we got NBA player we got a legendary NFL player uh and we talk golf I don't know what you guys talked about he's very personal and chatter he likes to just chat talk about his son's coming up in the ranks he's a sophomore in high school yeah going into college, growing up in Arlacker, the pressure behind that is there pressure?

Him as a son's, does he go on the sidelines as he stay in the crowd? I mean, it's fucking Brian Erlacker. You would assume that he'd be somewhat of a presence in his son's life when playing football. So it was really interesting to hear that. Talked about the bears, talked about Lovey. Yep. It's fucking awesome, man. For 25 jam-pack minutes, you learned a lot about Brian Erlacker.

We got Corey up first, then we got Brian. Right.
